And the former boss of Mercury on 10 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 2: why we should treat cold the same as gas under 11 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 2: the ets basically make your power cheaper. 12 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 3: Heather Duper c Allen, We've got to talk. 13 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 2: About Cornwall Park. So over the weekend it was quite 14 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 2: windy in Auckland. If you're in Auckland, you know what 15 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 2: I mean. There was some crazy ass wind that was 16 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 2: going on out there. I definitely found the drafts of 17 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 2: my house. If you're out of Auckland. It was kind 18 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 2: of like a Dame Wellington, but in Auckland, so it's 19 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:52,279 Speaker 2: unusual for us. 20 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 3: Now. 21 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 2: I don't know where we got to in the end, 22 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 2: but the forecast was for gusts of up to one 23 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty k's per hour. So the people who 24 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 2: run Cornwill Park closed it on Sunday because of flying wood. 25 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 2: They were worried that staff and punters might be struck 26 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 2: by flying wood. So they shut the gates and they 27 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 2: closed the toilets, and they closed the cafe, and they 28 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 2: closed the creamery, and they closed everything. Closed the Big 29 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 2: Strew closed everything because the flying wood. Meanwhile, on Sunday, 30 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 2: when Cornwall Park was closed, I went to another park, 31 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 2: which was Victoria Park in the Central City, which is 32 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 2: also actually incidentally full of really old trees and therefore 33 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 2: bits of wood, lots of branches and twigs and stuff 34 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 2: lying around. And despite the fact that there were three 35 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: of us at the park and it was quiet, windy, 36 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 2: none of us was struck by flying wood. Remarkably, we 37 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 2: also walked to the park down at a road which 38 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 2: is lined with old plane trees that have been there 39 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 2: for at least one hundred years. So if you're going 40 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 2: to be struck by a flying tree, you know, like 41 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 2: one of them falling down on your head would be 42 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 2: one of those. None of them fell on our heads, 43 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 2: nor did any of their branches or any of their 44 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 2: flying wood. Now, obviously it's their park, so the Cornwall 45 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 2: Park truss board can shut the park if they like, 46 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 2: And probably what they will say is that they didn't 47 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 2: want to put their start at risk. And there'll be 48 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 2: a lot of people in this country who will nod 49 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 2: their heads and say, look, that is the wiset thing 50 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 2: to do. After all, it is windy, and there could 51 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 2: be wood flying all around, and it might have to 52 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 2: staff member right in the eye and blind them forever. 53 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 2: You never know better to take care. I look at 54 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 2: this and think that's ridiculous that we are so worried 55 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 2: and anxious and frankly neurotic that even wind is freaking 56 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 2: us out. Now, I would urge the people who run 57 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 2: Cornwill Park to get a grip. Farmers, they may be 58 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 2: shocked to discover, often work outside in the wind and 59 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: there are lots of bits of wood flying around the 60 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 2: Department of Conservation probably want to reconsider this, but at 61 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: the moment they still allow us to walk around in 62 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 2: the bush in a high wind. There are definitely lots 63 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: of bits of wood of wood lying around in the bush, 64 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 2: if you know what I mean. I mean some people 65 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 2: also have old trees in their backyards and they're still 66 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 2: there when it's windy shockingly and the trees don't always 67 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 2: fall down in the wind. This, I think is the 68 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 2: perfect example of how we are getting to be ridiculous 69 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 2: over safety. Yes, of course you should extreme, you should 70 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 2: reduce your extreme risks, don't take unnecessary risks. But you 71 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 2: don't want to be reducing every single risk, otherwise you're 72 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 2: just going to be sitting in your house all day. 73 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 2: I don't think flying wood in a park on a 74 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 2: windy day in Auckland is so extremely risky that staff 75 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 2: must be sent home and members of the public must 76 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 2: be banned from entry. 77 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 3: To ever due for see ellen. 78 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 2: Don't you is the text number standard text speece applied. 79 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 2: Go on tell me how wrong I am. I'm happy 80 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 2: to hear it now. The government stepped in to help 81 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 2: small airlines. Shane Jones has given three thirty million dollars 82 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 2: in government loans or at least they're on the table 83 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: to help keep the regional routes running. Cabinet's also back 84 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: the integration of booking systems so that regional carriers show 85 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 2: up when you're booking through big carriers like Auckland. Sorry 86 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 2: like a New Zealand has made Duayanne EMONI is the 87 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 2: CEO of Air Chathams and with us. Now, Hi, Dwayne, 88 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 2: how good is that booking thing though? 89 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, really good, really good. 90 00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 5: I think that's a key piece and we're actually a 91 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 5: little way down the track on that one already with 92 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 5: Any Zealands. So we're looking to hopefully roll out a 93 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 5: domestic trial later this year. But it's expensive, I can 94 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 5: tell you having gone through it, so any support that 95 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 5: we can get for that's greatly appreciated, because. 96 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 2: Do you have to pay for it, like I mean 97 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: if you But I'm shocked that we don't do this already. 98 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 2: You book anywhere else in the world, you get this, 99 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 2: you know, you can go from Auckland to wherever you 100 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 2: need to go in the country all in one ticket. 101 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 2: Why doesn't it Why don't we do it? 102 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a good question. 103 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 5: There are ways of doing it, I guess through the 104 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 5: likes of global distribution systems, But again the airline has 105 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 5: to be proactive and make that investment themselves to be 106 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 5: linked into those systems, and some of the really smaller 107 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 5: carriers you just can't justify it because these costs are 108 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 5: quite significant just to be a part of the system. 109 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 4: So I think the fact that government's picked U up 110 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 4: and said. 111 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 5: Well, you know, how do we make these regional routes 112 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 5: more viable. Well, the best way to do that is 113 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 5: to effectively partner them with a much bigger airline that 114 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 5: everyone knows about, and then it just becomes part of 115 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,799 Speaker 5: their network and then you have the inter deals between 116 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 5: the airlines in terms of how the fares get broken 117 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 5: down and who gets what. But the key is the 118 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 5: customer gets to go from point A through point B 119 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 5: to point C seamlessly and have that full ticket protection 120 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 5: the whole way through. 121 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 4: So yeah, it's definitely a good thing. 122 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. Now what about this thirty million dollars in loans? 123 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 2: Is this helpful? Is this what you guys are struggling 124 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 2: with is getting money? 125 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 4: I think we need to make sure that it's helpful. 126 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 5: So, you know, this is something that's been lobbied on 127 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 5: quite a bit in the last couple of years, and 128 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,679 Speaker 5: you know, I think the announcements are really positive. 129 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 3: One. 130 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 5: It's spent the last number of months complaining about how 131 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 5: tough everything is and how we're not getting any help. 132 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 5: So today we're getting some help. So I think we 133 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 5: need to as small carriers make the. 134 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 4: Most of that. 135 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 5: It's not going to do everything, but it's definitely better 136 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 5: than nothing. 137 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 2: Brilliant. Hey listen, thank you so much mate, look after 138 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 2: yourself and best of luck with the business that is. 139 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 2: Dwayne em Andy, the CEO of Air Chathams Heather. No 140 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 2: one appears to have got hurt from windborne flying wood, 141 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 2: so the shutdown must have worked. Date one hundred percent, no, George, 142 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 2: one hundred percent no, because we shut down the park, 143 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 2: thank god, because I don't know there was a loss 144 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 2: of wood, just looking for an eye to land on, 145 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? But also what's remarkable 146 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: is that as far as I can tell, I mean, 147 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 2: I'm prepared to be wrong here, but it doesn't appear 148 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 2: that anybody got struck by any flying wood in Auckland, 149 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 2: at least not to the extent that they've been blinded 150 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 2: forever and have had to have I don't know, the 151 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 2: local road shutdown. 152 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 6: In the net. 153 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean? Like, hmm, how remarkable 154 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 2: that across the whole city no one was blinded by 155 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 2: flying wood, never mind Cornwall Park. I've got some good 156 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 2: news for you, because I feel like there are quite 157 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 2: a few young people out by the way you go on. 158 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 2: Then the huddle's going to talk about this flying wood business. 159 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 2: Of course later in the program. I feel like there 160 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 2: are a lot of people who are still kind of 161 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 2: coming down from the excitement of the news that their 162 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 2: best friend Taylor Swift got engaged the other day. If 163 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 2: you want to copy her, because this is what we 164 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 2: do when we have got ready cool best friends, as 165 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 2: we like to copy them. You can now go and 166 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 2: buy your own Taylor Swift ring. Michael Hill Cunningly Cunningly 167 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 2: has released a lookalike ring. It's I would actually say 168 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 2: it's a better looking ring than Taylor Swift's ring. There's 169 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 2: something about it that just has a bit more of 170 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 2: a It's just a bit more mainstreamy. I suppose it's 171 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 2: kind of I like it more. It's a lab grown diamond. 172 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 2: You can get the two carrot or you can get 173 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 2: the five carrot size, and it's in fourteen carrot yellow gold. 174 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 2: If you go for the two carrot, you cheap ass. 175 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 2: It's only twelve and a half thousand dollars. But if 176 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 2: you go for the five carrot, which you're gonna have 177 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 2: to because your best friend is Taylor, she paid she 178 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 2: got her rings worth a million, so you're gonna have 179 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 2: to go for this one. The five Carrot is forty 180 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 2: one thousand dollars. And you know we loved, we love it. 181 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 2: Any opportunity to play Taylor at you and it says 182 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 2: inspired by Taylor, made for you. 183 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: It's the Heather dupers Allen Drive Full Show podcast on 184 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio powered by News Talk zeb. 185 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 2: Heather, come on, eighty thousand lives got saved from Flying Wood.

And Cortez Ratama in 197 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 7: a race against time after a whack to the ribs. 198 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 7: So quite a few halfbacks in there, Heather, you would 199 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 7: have picked up Royguard, Hotham or Atma. So we may 200 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 7: be in a situation on Saturday night, biggest home test 201 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 7: probably since the Rugby World Cup Final in twenty eleven, 202 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 7: where we've got a debutant halfback on the bench Carle 203 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 7: Preston a lot good player, but massive pressure on him. 204 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 7: On the plus side, Leicester fight England. Nook who was 205 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 7: back in the All Blacks. The New Zealand Rugby Board 206 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 7: have ticked off his eligibility, so he comes in, he 207 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 7: might come straight back and the team that raised the 208 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 7: names on Thursday going to be very interesting. Indeed, yes, Raiser. 209 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 2: Must be feeling a little bit nervous about this. 210 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 7: What do you think I think you should be? Yeah, 211 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 7: I mean I think you should be. It's prob's certainly 212 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 7: the biggest test of his tenure and like I say, 213 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 7: the biggest test the All Blacks have played, certainly in 214 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 7: New Zealand for a very very long time. 215 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 2: His test of his tenure well, I. 216 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 7: Mean last year he was kind of well he was new, 217 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 7: wasn't he and he went to South Africa and lost 218 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 7: both test matches over there. They were big tests, but 219 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 7: you look at that Eden Park record. You do not 220 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 7: want to be the All Blacks coach who is running 221 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 7: the cutter when a test record that stretches back to 222 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 7: nineteen ninety four falls. You don't want to be the 223 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 7: coach who oversaw the first loss of Eden Park since 224 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 7: the mid nineties. And I think also off the back 225 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 7: of a loss in Argentina the very first time that's happened. 226 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 7: You don't want back to back unwanted history on your 227 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 7: CV as All Blacks coach. 228 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 2: Heather, Yeah, and I mean what you're not saying, but 229 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 2: what I think you kind of hinted at is that 230 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 2: the grace period is over like it was. Okay, perhaps 231 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 2: at a push to lose two tests the spring Box 232 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 2: in your first year, but not your second year. A 233 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 2: you can't start losing. 234 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 7: I wouldn't have thought so. And look, the stats only 235 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 7: tell half the story. But it took Ian Foster a 236 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 7: lot longer than this to lose his first five test 237 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 7: matches as All Blacks coach. That can be looked at 238 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 7: in a number of ways, of course, but look, I 239 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 7: think you'd want to win on Saturday night. I put 240 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:40,319 Speaker 7: it that way. 241 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. Now, is there any chance at all that 242 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 2: the worry is to make the top four. 243 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 7: Yes they can. Here's what needs to happen, No, there is. 244 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 7: Here's what needs to happen. They need to beat Manly 245 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 7: first of all, that's non negotiable. Then they need the 246 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 7: Storm to beat the Broncos and the Bulldogs to beat 247 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 7: the Sharks. 248 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 2: That's it. 249 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 7: If those three things happen this coming weekend, the Warriors 250 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 7: will finish fourth. However, the Storm and the Bulldogs know 251 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 7: that they can't improve their table position at all. They're 252 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 7: going to finish second and third, so they may well 253 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 7: rest some players against the Broncos and the Sharks, respectively, 254 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 7: which would make victory over those teams a lot harder. 255 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 7: The Warrior is still had to be manly as well, 256 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 7: and I'm I'm not sure that's a foregone conclusion. The 257 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 7: way they've been playing recently, I think most likely, Heather, 258 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 7: they'll finish sixth, and that'll mean the Penrith Panthers more 259 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 7: than likely the four time defending champions coming to go 260 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 7: media for a knockout game in a couple of weeks time. 261 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 2: Piney, that last try that the Warriors scored and then 262 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 2: were denied was that fair? I was really sad. About that. 263 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 7: No, No, you cannot tell me he's knock that on 264 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 7: and they see any knock on. No, And you can't 265 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 7: unequivocally say in the time frame that the bunker took 266 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 7: to make that decision, they could unequivocally say Dimitric Viamonga 267 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 7: said afterwards, yes, it brushed my fingers, but that's not 268 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 7: the point. Did it go backwards or forwards? And did 269 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 7: they have enough time from the camera angles they had 270 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 7: to say absolutely, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that's 271 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 7: gone forward. 272 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 8: I don't think they did. 273 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, Pinney, I appreciate that. That's Jason Pine 274 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 2: and sports Torkcosis. What thought. I thought that I went 275 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 2: to bed with a heavy heart that night. Good grief 276 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 2: here that did you hear the rugby injuries? We need 277 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 2: to stop rugby immediately. I know if you put the cornwall, 278 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 2: pike board, trust board in charge of rugby, we wouldn't 279 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 2: have any of this because there would be no rugby. Now. 280 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 2: I don't know if you realized this, but over the weekend, 281 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 2: the Internet was convinced that Donald Trump was dead. So 282 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 2: what happened was he hadn't been seen in public for 283 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 2: a couple of days, and then JD. Varnce said in 284 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 2: it He's got a remarkable ability JD. Vance to say 285 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 2: the wrong thing in interviews, but he did it again. 286 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 2: He said he was ready to assume the presidency if 287 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 2: a terrible tragedy occurred. And then the pizza index spike. 288 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 2: Do you know about the pizza index? This is when 289 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 2: all the people at the Pentagon start ordering too much 290 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 2: pizza because you know something's going down. And they did 291 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 2: this when they were about to bomb run as everybody 292 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 2: was like he's dead. And also also the US flag 293 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 2: was flown at half mast at the White House earlier 294 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 2: in the week, which they assumed was like, I don't know, 295 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 2: maybe a test a test run for for Trump's death. 296 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 2: It was actually because of the shooting of Minneapolis. That's 297 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 2: why they did it. Anyway, Then thousands of posts started 298 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 2: getting shared across Twitter and it had the hashtag where 299 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 2: is Trump? And Trump died? And then nine am Saturday 300 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 2: in the US, where is Trump was the sixth most 301 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 2: popular topic that was trending. Like that is how much 302 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 2: people were convinced that the Orange Man had died. So 303 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 2: what he then did was he went to play golf 304 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 2: with the Trump National Golf club in Sterling, Virginia and 305 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 2: got photographed. So he's alive for twenty three. 306 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 3: Cutting through the noise to get the facts. 307 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 1: It's Heather duplicy Ellen Drive with One New Zealand coverage. 308 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 3: Like no one else news talks. 309 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 2: They'd be yea, why did we not rest everybody this 310 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 2: last week for the big game? This is a huge game. 311 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 2: This is the South Africa game. By by the way, 312 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 2: this is a huge game. Now we have injuries everywhere 313 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 2: from this weekend. The South Africans are laughing at us. 314 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 2: They're going to make mince meat of the All Blacks 315 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 2: on Saturday night. I mean, I can't help but shake 316 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,439 Speaker 2: that feeling. Eh this I think Piey's right. This is 317 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 2: one of those ones where where you do look at 318 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 2: and you go ooh, raiser, good luck mate. Somebody text 319 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 2: through and said that the Box haven't beaten us at 320 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 2: Eden Park since nineteen thirty seven. Imagine if you're the 321 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 2: coach that breaks that record. Oh man, there's no beers 322 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 2: in the sheds after that game? Is there? For twenty six? 323 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 2: Now listen, there are calls for us to make a 324 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 2: second language compulsory in school. And this is on account 325 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 2: of the fact that there's a report that's just come 326 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 2: out which shows that we have student enrollments for languages, 327 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 2: for second languages is lower than at any time since 328 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 2: the nineteen thirties. So what they're proposing is that we 329 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 2: have a second language and that we teach to the 330 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 2: kids between seven years seven and ten. Now I've got 331 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 2: a bunch of questions about this. If you're going to 332 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 2: learn a second language, waiting and what is the year seven? 333 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 2: It's like eleven years old? 334 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 8: Right? 335 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 2: By eleven years old, I mean, your brain's still got 336 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 2: the plasticity, right, it can still learn better than like 337 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 2: you or I. We're old now, our brains are cruddy. 338 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 2: But at that young age you can still learn.

He says, 378 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 2: this is the defensive opening line from him, The foreign 379 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 2: buyers ban on housing remains, and then he goes on 380 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 2: to spend in an unfortunately too much time explaining the 381 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 2: difference between a five foreign bayer and a foreign investor 382 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 2: blah blah blah whatever. But then he says, this is 383 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 2: a common sense move that provides a balance between protecting 384 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 2: New Zealand's housing market supply and affordability and ensuring that 385 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,159 Speaker 2: we allow people who are wanting to invest millions of 386 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 2: dollars into our economy to rightly be able to own 387 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 2: a home and live in it when they are here. 388 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 2: Here here, If only we hadn't wasted two years finally 389 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 2: agreeing on something common sense.

This man lives 395 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 2: nearby and saw it all happen. 396 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 3: The car was within the compound. 397 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 7: There was a policeman drawing his gun asking for the 398 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 7: driver to exit the car. 399 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 2: Olli Peterson on that shortly.

No, So this is what 415 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 10: you have to do. Instead of whining and instead of 416 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 10: complaining and instead of finding excuses, you've got to. 417 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: Work international correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of 418 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business. 419 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 2: Olie Peterson six PR Perth Live presenters with us. Hello, 420 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 2: Wally are you there? 421 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 7: Yes? 422 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 11: Can you hear me? 423 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 2: Yes? Hallowally? Okay, what do we know about this car crash? 424 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 11: Well, what we know is there was a car outside 425 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 11: the Russian embassy there in Sydney's eastern suburbs this morning 426 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 11: and it raised suspicions of the police, the AFP, who 427 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 11: came up to ask the driver what he was doing. 428 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 11: And the next thing, he ran that car through the 429 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 11: front gates of the Russian embassy. Now he's a thirty 430 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 11: nine year old man. We don't know any more about 431 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 11: this particular individual or what his nationality may or may 432 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,439 Speaker 11: not be. We know he has been taken into police 433 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 11: custody and the AFP say investigations are on going. But 434 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 11: as you've heard there in the world wise, it caused 435 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 11: quite a commotion in the Eastern suburbs about eight o'clock 436 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 11: Sidney time this morning. The police officers had to draw 437 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 11: their guns and were heard shouting get out of the vehicle, 438 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 11: get out of the vehicle. Before this thirty nine year 439 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 11: old man has been taken into custody. So we wait 440 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 11: to find out more information what the motivation was and 441 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 11: what the target may have been. 442 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,919 Speaker 2: Okay, what's the latest with Dezzi Freeman. 443 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 11: He's still on the run. This is the seventh day 444 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 11: that police are obviously searching for him. Now the weather 445 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 11: has improved, with been hearing that it's been quite inclement 446 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 11: over the last few days. Have been blizzards, have been 447 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 11: dune snow on the Mount Buffalo, which has made those 448 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 11: efforts to try and find him a rather challenging. But 449 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 11: police have now deployed four hundred and fifty people in 450 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 11: that search. So look, I have no other information. It's 451 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 11: just a hunch, Heather. He obviously knows the area particularly 452 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 11: well and he's gone off greed. Whether he's got some 453 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 11: sort of bunker or he's got some way of obviously 454 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 11: hiding there in the countryside. This is obviously very concerning 455 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 11: still for locals, very concerning for the police force, and 456 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 11: hopefully he is found as soon as possible. But the 457 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 11: seventh day, the hunt continues. Massive amount of police resources 458 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 11: being thrown at this operation. 459 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 2: The four hundred and fifty are they all coppers coppers? 460 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 11: There's some sees involved in this as well, but there 461 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 11: are four hundred and fifty police officers who have been deployed. 462 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 2: To find him, probably all with weapons. 463 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,239 Speaker 11: A I'm sure they can't wait to find him. 464 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 2: That sounds of it. 465 00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 11: He did a bit dominant, didn't it. But I mean 466 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 11: you've imagine now angry you'd be right now if you're 467 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 11: a police officer searching for this bloke. 468 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 2: Oh geez, No, that's not what I was saying, Olie, 469 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 2: Like I wasn't saying they're going in with weapons to 470 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 2: seek vengeance. I mean, he's armed, so they will be armed. 471 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 2: But I see where your brain went with that. 472 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that's true. 473 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 11: But yeah, that's right. I mean, I mean, that's it is. 474 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 11: He set up another ambush, though you know, you don't 475 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,400 Speaker 11: know what this person's capable. 476 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 2: Of well, exactly right, I mean, yeah, I mean, jeez, 477 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. It's not exactly like a situation 478 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 2: we have here, but similar enough for you to think, jeez, 479 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 2: you don't want to be having a firefighters now, what's 480 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 2: going on with his anti immigration protesters. 481 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 11: So look, we had sort of ten thousand people roughly speaking, 482 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 11: across most of the capital cities. So that's ten thousand. 483 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 11: So the anti immigration rallies the government's calling it. You know, 484 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 11: it has been hijacked as well by some of these 485 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 11: neo Nazi organizations because we've had you know, a lot 486 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 11: of extremism on both sides of the political spectrum, if 487 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 11: you like. But this turned into in some city some 488 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 11: pretty ugly scenes. I'm not saying it's enough to get 489 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 11: married away with, though, Like I mean, you think about 490 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 11: the populations of Australia's major cities. If you're getting eight 491 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 11: thousand people turning up to a rally in Sydney, that's 492 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 11: dittly squat. That's not that many people. Fifteen thousand people 493 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,439 Speaker 11: in Adelaide short, it's probably a bit more per capita. 494 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 11: But let's not get carried away with the fact that, yes, 495 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 11: these rallies were held over the weekend. They were not good. 496 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 11: You know, there's no tolerance for racism in Australia that 497 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 11: there's also going to be tolerance for tolerance's sake, you know. 498 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 11: I just think that there's some nutterers out there. There's 499 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 11: some people that decided that all get together in the 500 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 11: city and we saw a bit of argie bargie here 501 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 11: in Perth as well. But you know, unfortunately it's happening, 502 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 11: and these things are happening in cities around the world 503 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 11: at the moment. But I think the numbers of people 504 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 11: that turned up for what our population is tiny, miniscule, 505 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 11: and they can go back into their holes and hide 506 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 11: and get on their keyboards and they can start abusing 507 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 11: people behind those little faceless images that they have on 508 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 11: Facebook and Instagram and all those social media platforms. 509 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 2: Olie, always good to talk to you, Thank you mate. 510 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 2: That's only Peterson six PR Perth Live presenter Hebard. So 511 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,400 Speaker 2: if you were listening on Friday, you would have caught 512 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 2: the news that Neil quigglely resigned as the Reserve Bank 513 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 2: chairs basically because we chatted to Nikola Willis pretty much 514 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 2: as soon as it was made public, and she told 515 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 2: us she'd basically told him to quit. She had added 516 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 2: chat to him three o'clock, might have even added a 517 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 2: chat to him again after that four fifty five. He 518 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 2: tended his resignation anyway. Janet Tipstraney, who's been doing a 519 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 2: lot of really good work on this, has written a 520 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 2: great piece on it for The Herald. It's up on 521 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 2: The Herald's website right now, basically arguing why Nikola Willis 522 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 2: isn't altogether free of criticism here either. She said, Nikola 523 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 2: Willis went so far as to say that she would 524 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 2: have asked Quigglely to resign had he not done so himself. 525 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 2: If Willis felt so strongly about the matter, why didn't 526 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 2: she ask Quigley to resign sooner? Because Nichola Willis knew 527 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 2: that Or had stepped down, and she also knew that 528 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 2: the board presented all with a letter of concerns. She 529 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 2: had virtually the same information on Friday as she had 530 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 2: had six months ago. The only thing that changed was 531 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 2: that the public found out that they had been sled. 532 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 2: Now she makes the argument like excellent points there. She 533 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,479 Speaker 2: makes the argument that Nikola Willis only cut Neil Quiggly 534 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 2: free on Friday because it was starting to hurt her, 535 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 2: and I agree with that. Actually, nothing that was revealed 536 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 2: last week about the Reserve Bank, nothing that basically caused 537 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 2: Nikola Willis to have to cut Neil Quigly free, was 538 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 2: new to her. She knew the whole time, She knew 539 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 2: all six months that they were misleading us, and she 540 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 2: let them. So I would love to actually be able 541 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 2: to ask her about that this evening. But incidentally, she's 542 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 2: not with us. She's flying to Australia for a meeting. 543 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 2: We've got Chris Bishop, but we'll take him. He's with 544 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 2: us after six sixteen away from. 545 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: Five Politics with Centrics credit, check your customers and get 546 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 1: payments certainty. 547 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 2: Right, veryso for senior political correspondents with us now, Hello Barres, 548 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 2: good afternoon. 549 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 3: Right. 550 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 2: Rich investors are going to be allowed to buy houses finally. 551 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 8: Well they are. The law won't be passed until the 552 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,199 Speaker 8: end of the year, so they're still a little way off. Nevertheless, 553 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 8: there has been a commitment that that will happen. You've 554 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 8: got to have either five million bucks by a million 555 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 8: dollar house or ten million dollars for a different category 556 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 8: of visa that you can have a mixed investment over 557 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 8: a number of areas. Interestingly, I had a bit of 558 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 8: a chuck on myself as well about Winston Peters posting 559 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 8: on X sounds like Donald Trump, which is where we 560 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 8: get all the information about what he's thinking. But Winston Peters, 561 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 8: he said, the foreign buyers ban remains well, it does 562 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 8: to an extent. He said that the governments ensured tight 563 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 8: restrictions around the policy, excluding the sale of rural farm 564 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 8: and sensitive land. But it does mean that if you 565 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 8: are an investor, and to me it makes absolute sense. 566 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 8: You come to the country and if you're planning to 567 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 8: live here and you're putting money into the country, of 568 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 8: course you want to buy a house here. The Immigration 569 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 8: MI is Erica Stanford, who was standing beside Chris Luxon 570 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 8: when the announcement was made. She said the investor v 571 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,479 Speaker 8: Jess they had hoped that they would get two hundred 572 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,880 Speaker 8: in the first year. Well, in the first five months 573 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 8: of the year they got three hundred, which is pretty remarkable. 574 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 8: It shows that New Zealand is seen as a pretty 575 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 8: good destination. And I've got to say she wackx lyrical 576 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 8: about what they bring to this country. 577 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 12: If you allow people to buy a home they spend 578 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 12: more time here and you can speak to the people 579 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 12: in the room who are evidence of that. And when 580 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 12: they are here more they invest in their local communities. 581 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 12: And I'll tell you the other thing about them, they 582 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 12: are an amazing philanthropist in their local communities. So when 583 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 12: you are thinking about economic growth and tagging that into 584 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 12: our local communities, these are amazing people with great connections 585 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,199 Speaker 12: and they get a huge passion for New Zealand and 586 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 12: their value is exponential. 587 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 8: So there were people in the room that clearly fall 588 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 8: into the category that she was talking about, So hopefully 589 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,199 Speaker 8: we'll hear some stories out of them following this today. 590 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 2: Okay, so what's your take on Neil Quigley's resignation. 591 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 8: Well, look, I feel for Neil Quigley. You know, I've 592 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 8: met the man on a number of occasions, a very 593 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 8: all sort of a fellow. And don't forget he's the 594 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 8: one that's behind the medical school at Waikata University, where 595 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 8: is the vice chancellor. But the fact is when Adrian Or, 596 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 8: when they got into the stash, Adrian Or was clearly 597 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 8: a very difficult man to deal with, and when they 598 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 8: came to an agreement that he would go, they in fact, 599 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 8: were sworn. 600 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 2: To secrecy disclosure agreement. 601 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 8: They had both had non disclosure agreements and the fact 602 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 8: of the matter is that neither the Finance Minister nor 603 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 8: Treasury were bound by those agreements, so they could say 604 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 8: a lot more. All Quigley said was that he basically 605 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 8: made a personal decision to go, and in the end, 606 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 8: if you ought to be pedantic about it, you could 607 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 8: say that Adrian Or, even though he threw a tanti 608 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 8: threw his cots toys out of the cot, it was 609 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 8: a personal decision, like any resignation is, so you know, 610 00:27:55,240 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 8: you can argue that. But then Labour's been criticized the 611 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 8: whole issue, and don't forget it was Labor that reappointed 612 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 8: Adrian Or to the job against a political a lot 613 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 8: of political opposition to it from the government that came 614 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 8: in a year later and from others as well, but 615 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 8: nevertheless he was reappointed to the job. The Prime Minister 616 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 8: said this morning that a new governor will be appointed 617 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 8: within weeks. This afternoon he said he's not worried about 618 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 8: the bank stability, despite what Labour's been saying. 619 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 9: They don't take any lectures from the Labor Party on economics. 620 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 9: I don't think they really have great literacy in the space, 621 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,239 Speaker 9: having been the people that actually put us in this 622 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 9: very difficult situation that all Hisslanders are experiencing. So you know, 623 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 9: what I'd say to you is, we've got a very 624 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 9: stronger experienced management team. 625 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 4: We've got a very stronger experience bought and. 626 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,239 Speaker 9: They are quite capable of fully discharging their obligations as 627 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 9: a reserve bank. 628 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 4: And so I've got every confidence on them. 629 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 9: You know, having come from an outside world, it's not 630 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 9: uncommon that you change chair and see are at the same time. 631 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 8: I think it's quite uncommon. But nevertheless, so. 632 00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 2: I just want to clarify. So are you arguing that 633 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 2: Neil Quigley is hard done by? 634 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 3: Here? 635 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 8: I am, actually, you know, I think he is quite 636 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 8: hard done by. 637 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 3: I don't know. 638 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:06,959 Speaker 8: I can see you're smirking there. 639 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 2: Well, I am smirking so hard at you right now. 640 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, Well, look, I think he was hard done 641 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 8: by because if you if you signed to sign up 642 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 8: to a confidentiality agreement, you don't then go and spill 643 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 8: the beans outside of that because by law you can't 644 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 8: do it anyway. And I thought he was caught between 645 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 8: a rock and a horde. 646 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 2: Can I give you an alternative view on of course? 647 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 10: Right? 648 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 2: So, first of all, if you just because you sign 649 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 2: an NDA doesn't mean that you need to go tell 650 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 2: Fibbs in public. Right, So he said personal decisions or 651 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 2: use sophistry, which is which is the use of language 652 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 2: intended to mislead people to believe one thing when it's 653 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 2: actually another thing, which is what he did. So you 654 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 2: don't have to tell fibbs because you signed an NDA. 655 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 2: You can simply say I cannot talk about this for 656 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 2: legal reasons. 657 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 8: Well is he could have clarified that. 658 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 2: Okay, So the first problem is telling phibbies. The second 659 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 2: problem then is that clearly the NDA did not preclude 660 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 2: them from telling us what actually happened, that Adrian Or 661 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 2: stepped down and that Adrian All was replaced by Christian 662 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 2: Hawksby and that he was out of the office for 663 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 2: five days and blah blah blah. They could do that 664 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 2: because the ombitsmen ordered them to do that, and they 665 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 2: did that. So why didn't So my interpretation of it 666 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 2: is that they were they used the NDA as cover 667 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 2: for just not telling us. 668 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 8: The true Well you know who knows?

You 728 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 2: have to be in government made to repeal things. But anyway, 729 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 2: as Jack says Katie Pie. Eric Stanford with us next 730 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 2: on the investors being able to buy houses and the 731 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 2: rumors are the rumors are generations being split off the 732 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 2: retail for the energy bundle together will get the latest 733 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 2: for you with the people who've heard the rumors, whose. 734 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 3: Thinks it been. 735 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: The only drive show you can try the truck to 736 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: ask the questions, get the answers, find and give the analysis. 737 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 1: Here the dupicl and Drive with One New Zealand and 738 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 1: the power of satellite mobile news dogs there. 739 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 2: Be afternoon, the government's finally made its long awaited announcement 740 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 2: on foreigners being able to buy houses. Here, foreign investors 741 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 2: who invest five million dollars will now also be allowed 742 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 2: to buy one house that costs five million dollars or more. 743 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 2: Erica Stanford is the Immigration ministand with us. Hey Erica, afternoon, 744 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 2: how are you. I'm well, thank you. So why five million? 745 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 12: Well, we wanted to make sure that the investment in 746 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 12: the housing market wasn't going to cause any problems for 747 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 12: first home buyers or skew the market. And I think 748 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 12: five million was a good figure because it represents only 749 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 12: the very top one percent, and so it means that 750 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,479 Speaker 12: these people can come settle in New zealand get used 751 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 12: to the landscape, spend more money here, also not skew 752 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 12: the property market, which is what we wanted to avoid. 753 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 2: How many houses have we got in the country worth 754 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 2: five million or more? 755 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 12: Well, it's one percent of the market. And I did 756 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,360 Speaker 12: I heard the number today and I forgot what it was. 757 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 12: But it's one percent of whatever that figure is. And 758 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 12: I'll see if I can look it up while I'm 759 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 12: talking to you. 760 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 2: Oh, thank you, I appreciate it. How many investors do 761 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 2: you reckon we'll be attracted as a result. 762 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 12: Well, I know the three hundred have already put their 763 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 12: applications and many of them will be keen to have 764 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 12: a house here. Not all of them immediately, but many 765 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 12: of them will. I'm expecting that this will mean we 766 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 12: will get more applications. I know that when I've talked 767 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 12: to lawyers and immigration agents, they've said that they've got 768 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 12: people who are interested, but the house buying thing was 769 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 12: a problem. So I'm expecting we'll start to see a 770 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 12: little uptick in applications we've seen. We saw a huge 771 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 12: surge at the beginning. It has tailed off now and 772 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 12: I expect we'll see another, maybe not the same surge 773 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 12: as we saw at the beginning, but I think we'll 774 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 12: see an uptick. So I'm expecting, you know, another couple 775 00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 12: of hundred this year. 776 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 2: This seems like it was a really hard negotiation in cabinet, 777 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 2: was it. 778 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 12: It actually wasn't. And look, I think Winston has been 779 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,399 Speaker 12: on the record over the fast past few weeks saying that, 780 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 12: you know, he wanted to get this done, but look, 781 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 12: some things take a little bit of time. But I 782 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 12: wasn't part of the negotiations. 783 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 2: But if it wasn't such a hard negotiation, why is 784 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 2: it taking you guys two years to do it? 785 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 12: Well, firstly, we only bought the AIP visa in April 786 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 12: this year, and it really only had surged numbers in 787 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 12: the last couple of months, so up until then the 788 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 12: previous settings that Labor put in place weren't attracting the 789 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 12: levels of migrants that we've seen, so it wasn't it 790 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 12: wasn't really an issue until the last sort of couple 791 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 12: of months where we've seen these three hundred applications with 792 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,799 Speaker 12: others waiting to put the application in. So it's only 793 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 12: been a more recent issue that we've started to talk about. 794 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 2: All right, hey, thanks for your time. As always, Erica Stanford, 795 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 2: Immigration Minister here the Duplessyl. The government is set to 796 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 2: release its decision on how to fix the energy sector 797 00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 2: sometime this month. 798 00:35:58,960 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 17: Now. 799 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 2: This comes after the so called Frontier Report, which the 800 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,360 Speaker 2: government commission telling it what to do to the electricity market. 801 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 2: That's been on the desks for a few months. I've 802 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 2: kept it under wraps, but rumors are swelling. Margaret Cooney 803 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 2: is the chief operating officer at Octopus Energy and with us. 804 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 2: Hey Margaret, Hi, how are you here? 805 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:14,359 Speaker 8: Well? 806 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 2: Thank you. Have you heard that this report recommends nationalizing 807 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 2: the thermal generation assets. 808 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 18: Yes, we've heard that from a number of credible sources 809 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 18: and it's swirling the energy nerd circles of Wellington that 810 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 18: this was a recommendation from Frontier. 811 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:33,359 Speaker 2: Is that what you want. 812 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 18: Look, I think it's an interesting idea, but immediately we 813 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 18: need to increase supply in the sector, so just shifting 814 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 18: around existing assets doesn't really solve the problem. So we've 815 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 18: been suggesting to government that they should basically take the 816 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,839 Speaker 18: board band approach or which is an approach used in 817 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 18: other countries and underwright new investment. So you can do 818 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 18: that by doing a tender, getting long term contracts the 819 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,360 Speaker 18: new supplied to come into market as soon as possible, 820 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,759 Speaker 18: and they should do that to match the government's own 821 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 18: demand profile. It would mean you'd need a mix of 822 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 18: different types of generation in order to give you the 823 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,120 Speaker 18: certainty and confidence that that energy is there. 824 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,400 Speaker 2: Government's not going to nationalize the thermal assets. 825 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 18: A I think it's unlikely with the national government, but 826 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 18: it is a concept that has been floated by A Frontiers. 827 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 18: So we're yet to hear how the government's going to 828 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 18: deal with that report. But I think there are better 829 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 18: solutions there that would help us resolve the electrocyed supply 830 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 18: crunch that we're in and also get the market settings 831 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 18: working so that we have a broader group of parties 832 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,120 Speaker 18: that can invest in the new Zealand market and build 833 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:56,800 Speaker 18: that much needed new generation. 834 00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 2: Okay, tell me what you think they're actually going to 835 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 2: do then? Is it the underwriting? 836 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 18: Look, honestly, we don't know what the government is going 837 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,839 Speaker 18: to do, but what I hope that they will do 838 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 18: is a combination of things. So it's act on the 839 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 18: announcements that they've will be ready made about improving the 840 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 18: market settings so that they support competition, that's one, but 841 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:24,240 Speaker 18: immediately put out at tender for these long term contracts 842 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 18: so that we get the uplift and supply that is 843 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 18: so urgently needed. It's really not something we can wait for. 844 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 17: We've got this. 845 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 18: Immediate supply crunch. Really high prices have been there since 846 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:48,960 Speaker 18: you know, twenty eighteen, and we've got looming gas supply shortages, 847 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 18: which mean that we immediately need to bolster the electricity 848 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:58,360 Speaker 18: supply so we can accommodate industry that wants to electrify 849 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:02,799 Speaker 18: and also reduce the alec TRICTI industries reliance on that 850 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,960 Speaker 18: guest that's becoming more scarce. 851 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, totally, Margaret, Thanks for your time.

You can start 868 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,000 Speaker 2: getting pretty excited about March going to to tie horror, 869 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,799 Speaker 2: but for December anyway.

And also the other 913 00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 2: question is which weekend are we not going to IQRE 914 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 2: because everybody else is at iq And also the other 915 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:57,960 Speaker 2: question is if you're in Christy, which weekend do you 916 00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 2: need to book your tickets up to come to Ikre. 917 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 2: This is going to be full noise for us.

We're now ranked third in the world. 922 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 2: Goes Iceland, Ireland. 923 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 6: US. 924 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 2: Kevin Clements is an emeritus Professor of Peace and Conflict 925 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,319 Speaker 2: Studies at the University of Otago and also the chair 926 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,280 Speaker 2: of the Expert Advisory Panel for the Global Piece Index. 927 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,440 Speaker 2: And with us now Hi Kevin, Hi, Hello, very well, 928 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,440 Speaker 2: thank you. What have we done to go up two spots? 929 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:33,960 Speaker 17: Well, well, it's based on three different things, so sort 930 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,160 Speaker 17: of a measure of societal safety and security and ongoing 931 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,799 Speaker 17: to Mesican national conflict and degree of militarization. And when 932 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 17: the data was coming in in New Zealand was not 933 00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,640 Speaker 17: joining all the other countries immediately agreeing to kind of 934 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:50,080 Speaker 17: a five percent defense expenditure. But we've always been in 935 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:55,239 Speaker 17: the top five ever since the index was developed in 936 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 17: nineteen years ago. So we've moved around a little bit, 937 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 17: but it's always been Ice and you see industriear in Switzerland. 938 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 2: So does it count against us that we've bought all 939 00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 2: these helicopters and. 940 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 17: Worries Well, May next year, May next year we may drop. 941 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:13,160 Speaker 2: Well that's counterintuitive, isn't it, Kevin, Because you're not going 942 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:14,920 Speaker 2: to have peace if you can't defend your borders. 943 00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,160 Speaker 17: Well no, but but you also can't have peace if 944 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:25,600 Speaker 17: there's no social cohesion, high levels of polarization, bad governors, 945 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:27,840 Speaker 17: lack of free media and so forth. Piece are the 946 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,840 Speaker 17: things which really can generate high levels of peacefulness and 947 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,239 Speaker 17: in terms of what we understand as positive peace. 948 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,120 Speaker 2: So is there anything to the fact that all three 949 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 2: in the top three, being Iceland, Ireland and ourselves have 950 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:41,640 Speaker 2: we're islands. Does that count for something? 951 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:42,759 Speaker 3: Well? 952 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 17: Yes, because we've got a new huge moats between us. 953 00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,920 Speaker 17: I mean that you know, our nearest neighbors is Australia, 954 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,520 Speaker 17: and that provides you know, one one very major line 955 00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:56,120 Speaker 17: of defense. And it's true that they're all they're all islands, Australia, however, 956 00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:01,960 Speaker 17: is in Switzerland a landlocked So no, it's got more 957 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:09,640 Speaker 17: to do with levels of militarization, high levels of state welfare, 958 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:14,160 Speaker 17: education and so forth, good health systems, although these are 959 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:18,600 Speaker 17: kind of currently under stress here. But you know, the 960 00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,719 Speaker 17: things which make up for social cohesion. I mean you 961 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:26,320 Speaker 17: can see also what happens when when you move in 962 00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,200 Speaker 17: a direction of heavy militarization like the US. I mean 963 00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,000 Speaker 17: that's now I dropped one hundred and twenty eight out 964 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,440 Speaker 17: of one hundred sixty three countries. 965 00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:36,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, I see, Kevin, thanks so much, appreciate your time. 966 00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 2: That's Kevin clements Emiritus, Professor of Peace and Conflict Studies 967 00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:44,200 Speaker 2: at the University of Otago. Heither, for God's sake, make 968 00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:48,320 Speaker 2: the second language internationally useful like Spanish, Mandarinal Japanese, not 969 00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:53,480 Speaker 2: internationally useless like you know what says Jonathan from Altucky. 970 00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:58,240 Speaker 2: He's talking about Mary. He's talking about today Omari, Jonathan. 971 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,560 Speaker 2: If you listen to the show, you know I totally Sagreasi. 972 00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,360 Speaker 2: In fact, if I was going to make anything compulsories, 973 00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,520 Speaker 2: be Mary for everybody after English. But we'll talk about 974 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,359 Speaker 2: that in about fifteen minutes time. Five to twenty two. 975 00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:12,000 Speaker 1: Digging deeper into the day's headlines, it's Heather Duper Clan 976 00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,799 Speaker 1: Drive with one New Zealand coverage Like no one else 977 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,279 Speaker 1: news talks, there'd be five twenty four. 978 00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,239 Speaker 2: Listen when the government says that part of the reason 979 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 2: that we should let the foreign investors back into the 980 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,320 Speaker 2: property market is because of the work that they provide. 981 00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:26,759 Speaker 2: I actually one hundred percent back them up on this. 982 00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,160 Speaker 2: This is not making uppy stuff. This is real. So 983 00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,359 Speaker 2: there's an American couple who bought a house on our 984 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,680 Speaker 2: street not that long ago, and I don't and they 985 00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,120 Speaker 2: paid around about five mil for I'm not entirely sure. 986 00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,200 Speaker 2: I'm not entirely sure how they did that, but one 987 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,160 Speaker 2: of them must have a passport or something like that. Anyway, anyway, 988 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,400 Speaker 2: they are in America, though they're Florida based. They are 989 00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,160 Speaker 2: hardly at their house in Auckland, hardly ever at their house. 990 00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,279 Speaker 2: But they have so much maintenance going on at that 991 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,120 Speaker 2: house that it's actually become quite funny. They have people 992 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,120 Speaker 2: washing the house, then they have people doing the hedges. 993 00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,560 Speaker 2: Then they have a property agent that probably have cleaners. 994 00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,839 Speaker 2: Because if you've got five mil to buy a second 995 00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:03,840 Speaker 2: or third or fourth property. Of course, you've got cleaners, 996 00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:05,800 Speaker 2: and then they had somebody who cleaned the gutters the 997 00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,240 Speaker 2: other day. The guy who washes the house down regularly 998 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,760 Speaker 2: told us that the house isn't actually even dirty anymore, 999 00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,040 Speaker 2: but he's just washing it down because he's been told 1000 00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:16,360 Speaker 2: that he needs to wash it down, so he just 1001 00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,400 Speaker 2: keeps on doing what he's told. But it's not actually dirty. 1002 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,759 Speaker 2: They've had furniture delivered, they've had furniture installed, they've had 1003 00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:25,440 Speaker 2: appliances delivered, they've had appliances installed, they've had maintenance done 1004 00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:28,000 Speaker 2: inside the house. Now they're putting in a pool. It 1005 00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,760 Speaker 2: is a big pool. The pool guys have been building 1006 00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,400 Speaker 2: the pool I reckon for about four months. They've got 1007 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:36,640 Speaker 2: concrete guys. They've got digger guys, they've got piling guys, 1008 00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:38,920 Speaker 2: they've got pipe laying guys. They've got the guys who 1009 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,120 Speaker 2: are doing the pool. Then the guys who did our 1010 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,280 Speaker 2: pool glass is now going to do their pool glass. 1011 00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,480 Speaker 2: And this obviously means that the couple will need to 1012 00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,239 Speaker 2: add to their schedule of maintenance a pool cleaning guy 1013 00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:49,920 Speaker 2: as well, who's going to be getting some work. So 1014 00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:52,200 Speaker 2: do you see what I mean? This couple, and I 1015 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,759 Speaker 2: really am not making this up. This couple by themselves 1016 00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,080 Speaker 2: is doing more maintenance on a house that they hardly 1017 00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:01,200 Speaker 2: ever live in than probably six houses on the street 1018 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 2: put together. Which is what you get when you are 1019 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 2: wealthy enough to build a house worth five million dollars 1020 00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 2: and then take your US currency and convert that into 1021 00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,480 Speaker 2: New Zealand dollars and see how far that actually goes. 1022 00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:13,560 Speaker 2: This is a really smart call. What's happened from the 1023 00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:15,960 Speaker 2: government today is a smart call. The houses at five 1024 00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,480 Speaker 2: million dollars are really too expensive to mean that the 1025 00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,759 Speaker 2: foreign buyers are competing with our first home buyers or 1026 00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,920 Speaker 2: even most of our buyers. Frankly, it gives the foreign 1027 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,839 Speaker 2: buyers the option of living here in their own home, 1028 00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:30,200 Speaker 2: which I think is reasonable, and it provides so much 1029 00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:33,520 Speaker 2: work apparently for oursmes, so it's a winner all round. 1030 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:35,160 Speaker 3: Ever, dup for c Allen. 1031 00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,759 Speaker 2: Did you realize did you realize that the spring Boks 1032 00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:40,719 Speaker 2: and the spring Box and the All Blacks were asked 1033 00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:44,040 Speaker 2: to change their jerseys this weekend because of color blindness? 1034 00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,960 Speaker 2: So this is a world rugby thing. There is guidelines 1035 00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 2: that were first published in twenty twenty one which wants. 1036 00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,759 Speaker 2: It's designed to help people with color blindness to tell 1037 00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:54,600 Speaker 2: which which of the squads is which are the squads? 1038 00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,400 Speaker 2: And unfortunately the black in the black is very black, 1039 00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,560 Speaker 2: but the green and the spring box jersey is very 1040 00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:03,720 Speaker 2: dark as well, and so if you've got color blindness 1041 00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 2: for those colors, you can't tell them apart. Anyway. While 1042 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,360 Speaker 2: I I'm all about loving everybody and stuff like that, 1043 00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,880 Speaker 2: thank god, they've gone back to World rugby and been like, no, 1044 00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:14,279 Speaker 2: we're the green and gold guys, we're the black guys. 1045 00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,440 Speaker 2: We're just playing in our jerseys. Common sense prevails. Common 1046 00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:18,560 Speaker 2: sense News is next. 1047 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,760 Speaker 3: The day's newspeakers talk to Heather First. 1048 00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:33,239 Speaker 1: Heather du for Sellen Drive with One New Zealand and 1049 00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,160 Speaker 1: the Power of Satellite Mobile News Talk said be. 1050 00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,399 Speaker 2: Puddles standing by Christmashi was in for MICHAELA. Willis after 1051 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,800 Speaker 2: six o'clock. Also, I need to say, I am honestly 1052 00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,839 Speaker 2: have you heard about the toe Hunger Police, the crack 1053 00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,520 Speaker 2: squad they've got on the retail crime. These guys are awesome. 1054 00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,040 Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to run you through that short lits 1055 00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,760 Speaker 2: twenty five away from six. Now let's talk about languages. 1056 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,920 Speaker 2: There are calls for the country to make it compulsory 1057 00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,520 Speaker 2: to learn a second language at school. It turns out 1058 00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:07,000 Speaker 2: there are now fewer students learning a second language than 1059 00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,640 Speaker 2: there were in the nineteen thirties. Juliet Kennedy as the 1060 00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,120 Speaker 2: president of the Association of Language Teachers Julett. 1061 00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:15,359 Speaker 19: Hello, Hi Heather, how are you going very well? 1062 00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 2: Thank you? So are we talking about it making it 1063 00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,040 Speaker 2: compulsory for years seven to ten? 1064 00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:19,360 Speaker 1: Are we? 1065 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,200 Speaker 19: Yes? That's right, Yes, we would like to make languages 1066 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:24,719 Speaker 19: compulsory from year seven to ten. 1067 00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,759 Speaker 2: Aren't we missing? I mean, that's fine, but aren't we 1068 00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:30,080 Speaker 2: missing the most important years to learn a language, which 1069 00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:31,520 Speaker 2: I would have thought would be under five. 1070 00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:36,239 Speaker 19: Well that's a really good question. Ideally in an ideal world, 1071 00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,480 Speaker 19: and what many countries already do is teach languages from 1072 00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,200 Speaker 19: year one right the way through to high school, such 1073 00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,680 Speaker 19: as the likes in South Africa and Europe. In some 1074 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:50,879 Speaker 19: parts of Australia and England. However, the recommendations put through 1075 00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:54,400 Speaker 19: by the Chinese Language Week Trust are meant to be 1076 00:49:55,600 --> 00:50:00,360 Speaker 19: immediately implementable, So we wouldn't have a workforce to start 1077 00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,080 Speaker 19: from year one all the way through to year eleven, 1078 00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:07,080 Speaker 19: but we would have a workforce there from year seven 1079 00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:07,839 Speaker 19: to year ten. 1080 00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:12,200 Speaker 2: Definitely, And in an ideal world, we start basically the 1081 00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:13,360 Speaker 2: minute they walk into the school. 1082 00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:17,120 Speaker 19: Absolutely, absolutely, in an ideal world, that is the best 1083 00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:20,080 Speaker 19: time to start. But we need to make steps in 1084 00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:21,640 Speaker 19: that direction before we can do that. 1085 00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:24,320 Speaker 2: What is the smart thing? I mean, what do you 1086 00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,040 Speaker 2: guys think. Do you think that we get to choose 1087 00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,000 Speaker 2: which languages our kids learn or do we just have 1088 00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:29,440 Speaker 2: one and we go this is what you all learn. 1089 00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:34,239 Speaker 19: Well, that's also an excellent question. I think we were 1090 00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:38,279 Speaker 19: going to make language learning compulsory that it's quite a 1091 00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:43,160 Speaker 19: complex issue, and so my personal view is that we 1092 00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:46,360 Speaker 19: need to begin with Tady or Mary as our official 1093 00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,239 Speaker 19: language and our indigenous language, and also think about New 1094 00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:54,520 Speaker 19: Zealand Sign language. But it's also really important that students 1095 00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:58,240 Speaker 19: have a chance to learn other languages, including heritage languages 1096 00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:01,120 Speaker 19: which have spoken in our community, but also kind of 1097 00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:06,960 Speaker 19: world stage languages such as Chinese or French or Spanish 1098 00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:11,319 Speaker 19: or German or Japanese. So it's a very tricky question 1099 00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:13,560 Speaker 19: to ask. I think some hard decisions would have to 1100 00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:17,040 Speaker 19: be made by school communities, but there are ways around it. 1101 00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:20,520 Speaker 19: If we strengthen distance education, for example, in New Zealand 1102 00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:23,480 Speaker 19: like they have in Australia, we would be able to 1103 00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,920 Speaker 19: offer a wider choice for kids that didn't want to 1104 00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:28,560 Speaker 19: go with the chosen languages of the school in the 1105 00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:29,280 Speaker 19: school community. 1106 00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,680 Speaker 2: Juliet, thanks very much appreciated, Juliet Kennedy, New Zealand Association 1107 00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,520 Speaker 2: of Language Teachers Presidents twenty two away from six. 1108 00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:39,560 Speaker 1: The Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty. Find your 1109 00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:41,920 Speaker 1: one of a kind on. 1110 00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,280 Speaker 2: The Huddle of us this evening we have Sharson of Sheerson, 1111 00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:46,600 Speaker 2: Willis pr and Joseph Gurney, the CEO of Child Fund 1112 00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:47,240 Speaker 2: High Ladies. 1113 00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:47,560 Speaker 8: Hello. 1114 00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:48,520 Speaker 3: Hello. 1115 00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,839 Speaker 2: If we make a language compulsory, which language do you choose? 1116 00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:53,360 Speaker 2: I do today, Ol Marty. 1117 00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:57,280 Speaker 20: For a start, that is an official language of New Zealand. 1118 00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,640 Speaker 20: It is a treasure of New Zealand. I can completely 1119 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:05,359 Speaker 20: support this. When I was about probably nineteen, I went 1120 00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,000 Speaker 20: to Europe for the very first time, and I was 1121 00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:11,719 Speaker 20: sitting in a little backpackers at breakfast and a whole 1122 00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:13,960 Speaker 20: lot of people came downstairs for their breakfast and they 1123 00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:19,000 Speaker 20: were talking three four five different languages and interchanging, and 1124 00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:23,480 Speaker 20: I felt super stupid. Yes, and I thought, you know, 1125 00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,200 Speaker 20: when I heard this this morning, I thought, actually, language 1126 00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:29,080 Speaker 20: for New Zealanders is a skill for the world, and 1127 00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,400 Speaker 20: it's really important. I think that our kids have it 1128 00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:34,920 Speaker 20: as compulsory at school, and once you learn one language, 1129 00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:39,000 Speaker 20: it's far easier to learn another. Also, learning a language 1130 00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:42,120 Speaker 20: teaches you a huge amount about English and the real 1131 00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,200 Speaker 20: crunchy basics of English that we're probably not being taught. 1132 00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:48,840 Speaker 2: I absolutely love it. Yeah, me too. What do you think, Jersey, which. 1133 00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:51,480 Speaker 12: I totally agree. I mean, I don't think it matters 1134 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:52,600 Speaker 12: what language. 1135 00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,479 Speaker 2: It is, So it does matter. It does matter because 1136 00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,040 Speaker 2: either what you're doing, you're either deciding that a whole 1137 00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:58,359 Speaker 2: bunch of kids are going to speak for French, hold 1138 00:52:58,360 --> 00:52:59,839 Speaker 2: a bunch of kids is going to speak Spanish matter, 1139 00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,120 Speaker 2: or everybody speaks the same language and can talk to 1140 00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:04,440 Speaker 2: each other, so you have to pick one. 1141 00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:07,480 Speaker 21: But the point you're right, well, what I mean is, 1142 00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,760 Speaker 21: I don't think it matters which one you pack, because 1143 00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:13,520 Speaker 21: whatever the language is, when a kid is speaking two languages, 1144 00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:16,799 Speaker 21: their mind opens to the idea that that object over 1145 00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:20,600 Speaker 21: their table can have several names and it's still a table. 1146 00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:22,880 Speaker 21: So it makes it easier to learn a second language 1147 00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:26,239 Speaker 21: and even a third language, and so yeah, you're absolutely right, Heavy. 1148 00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,080 Speaker 21: I think you've got to have a structure around this, 1149 00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:30,040 Speaker 21: And like you guys, I would go learn to to 1150 00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:33,480 Speaker 21: Rio Mari and then you get to pick one other one, 1151 00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,879 Speaker 21: whether it's a French or German or Spanish, or whether 1152 00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,160 Speaker 21: it's Chinese or Japanese, depending on where you think you 1153 00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:39,600 Speaker 21: want to go in your career. 1154 00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:40,440 Speaker 12: Right as a kid. 1155 00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:42,359 Speaker 21: But my point is I saw it with my own 1156 00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:46,000 Speaker 21: kids who went to France speaking English and came back 1157 00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:50,080 Speaker 21: fluent in French, and they had this whole sense of 1158 00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:55,200 Speaker 21: objects in the world having multiple names that it didn't 1159 00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,799 Speaker 21: frighten them when they heard other languages and other people 1160 00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:00,440 Speaker 21: speaking languages, and they picked up to Rio Mari really well. 1161 00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:02,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, because, as trisharees, once you can do one, you 1162 00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,160 Speaker 2: can do heap, or two you can do heaps. Now, Trish, 1163 00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,240 Speaker 2: do you like the foreign investors buying the houses? 1164 00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:11,880 Speaker 20: I love the foreign investors buying the houses. And I 1165 00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:17,960 Speaker 20: just feel absolutely over the political horse trading on this one. 1166 00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:20,560 Speaker 20: It is absolutely common sense. And let me just start 1167 00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:24,840 Speaker 20: by a brick bat for labor on this Their comments 1168 00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:28,560 Speaker 20: on this today show why they are absolutely not fit 1169 00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:32,600 Speaker 20: to govern at the next election that they haven't done 1170 00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:35,000 Speaker 20: any deep thinking or moved on from where they were. 1171 00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:37,560 Speaker 20: So their kick back to this was this is going 1172 00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:40,799 Speaker 20: to push up house prices. So two points to make. 1173 00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,560 Speaker 20: Number one, the New Zealand housing market is in one 1174 00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:46,879 Speaker 20: of the deepest and longest depressions that it has ever 1175 00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:50,759 Speaker 20: been in. And number two, for goodness sake, these are 1176 00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:54,719 Speaker 20: people buying five million dollar houses. The number of New 1177 00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:59,120 Speaker 20: Zealanders who can afford that is absolutely tiny. So they 1178 00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,560 Speaker 20: just really have got their finger on the pulse here. 1179 00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:03,200 Speaker 2: And I am absolutely with you. 1180 00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:06,560 Speaker 20: The reason we want people to buy here and live 1181 00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,360 Speaker 20: here and invest here is because we need more money 1182 00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:11,120 Speaker 20: in the system and more jobs. 1183 00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:13,240 Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, Josie. 1184 00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:16,439 Speaker 21: Look, I'm in favor of it, but I just don't 1185 00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,920 Speaker 21: think it's a big enough idea. And I think this 1186 00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:22,239 Speaker 21: is one of the problems with the government's approach to 1187 00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,520 Speaker 21: sort of fixing the economy, cost of living, growing the economy, 1188 00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:27,480 Speaker 21: and so on, is that these people look at these 1189 00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,000 Speaker 21: ideas and they go, Okay, that's fine. It's one percent 1190 00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:32,920 Speaker 21: of housing stock. You're right, Trish, that are worth five 1191 00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,960 Speaker 21: million dollars, so that's not much. It's probably going to 1192 00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:39,080 Speaker 21: be about one hundred or so people who are of 1193 00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:42,440 Speaker 21: the level to come in on this investment plan, and 1194 00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:44,280 Speaker 21: you kind of go, that's fine, great. 1195 00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:45,040 Speaker 12: They'll spend some money here. 1196 00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:46,960 Speaker 2: But the bigger question is what are they going to 1197 00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:47,640 Speaker 2: invest in. 1198 00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:52,239 Speaker 21: Because we're fast deindustrializing New Zealand in terms of our businesses. 1199 00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:56,160 Speaker 21: You know, are there enough funds, are there enough businesses? 1200 00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:59,320 Speaker 21: Are there enough things to invest in? So everything seems 1201 00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:02,800 Speaker 21: to be hon It's way out, methadex Rio tinto steel, timber, 1202 00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,000 Speaker 21: Fonterra is selling off its brands and so on. So 1203 00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:08,160 Speaker 21: I think one of the reasons that the polls are 1204 00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:10,160 Speaker 21: going down for the government is that people look at 1205 00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:13,759 Speaker 21: these ideas. There's nothing to disagree with here really, and 1206 00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:15,719 Speaker 21: you look at it and go, fine, but is that 1207 00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:19,000 Speaker 21: a big enough solution to these looming problems we've got 1208 00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:20,799 Speaker 21: of a country grinding to a halt. 1209 00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:21,239 Speaker 22: Yep. 1210 00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:22,680 Speaker 2: I think that's a fair point you make, like we're 1211 00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:24,920 Speaker 2: going to take this one right, this is good, but 1212 00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:27,360 Speaker 2: we need better than this next time. Totally all right, 1213 00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:28,920 Speaker 2: let's take a break with you too. Come back shortly 1214 00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:30,120 Speaker 2: seventeen away from six. 1215 00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:35,920 Speaker 1: The huddle with New Zealand Southebys International Realty, the global 1216 00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:37,680 Speaker 1: leader in luxury real estate. 1217 00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:40,680 Speaker 2: Right, you're back with the huddle Trescherson and Joseph Bagani. 1218 00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,040 Speaker 2: Josie Barry Sober says that he feels sorry for Neil 1219 00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:44,759 Speaker 2: Quigley having to quit, Do you. 1220 00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:50,160 Speaker 21: Honestly the story has more character development than most Netflix series. 1221 00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:53,480 Speaker 21: At the moment, it's tough on him. It is tough 1222 00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,200 Speaker 21: on Neil quickly. I do have some sympathy for him. 1223 00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:58,600 Speaker 21: He's performed well in the job, and you know, he 1224 00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:01,479 Speaker 21: hasn't done such a bad job. It's just that lack 1225 00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:04,560 Speaker 21: of frankness and the feeling that it's seeped out in 1226 00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:08,040 Speaker 21: this really unseemly way that we got all the facts 1227 00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:13,000 Speaker 21: about All's resignation, and I just think people in the end, 1228 00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,239 Speaker 21: if you don't trust the Reserve Bank and the chair 1229 00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:17,240 Speaker 21: of the Reserve Bank, you've got big, big problems. I 1230 00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:21,000 Speaker 21: do think the guy who's stepping up into his position, 1231 00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:24,760 Speaker 21: Roger Finley, who's actually if anyone's going to renew trust, 1232 00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:27,000 Speaker 21: it'll be him. I mean, he's got a huge back 1233 00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:32,520 Speaker 21: then governance and sorting out dysfunctional organizations. I think he 1234 00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:35,960 Speaker 21: did banking in London in the past, so I hope 1235 00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,080 Speaker 21: they just stopped there for a while. Just settle down, 1236 00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:41,200 Speaker 21: roll your sleeves up, do the work, and stop changing 1237 00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,240 Speaker 21: and having these drama Netflix dramas, and let's just get 1238 00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:46,280 Speaker 21: on with it because I've got to recruit someone. 1239 00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:50,920 Speaker 20: I have lived my adult life with the Reserve Bank's 1240 00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:54,920 Speaker 20: reputation being unimpeachable, just like the exterior of that building 1241 00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:59,480 Speaker 20: in Wellington is so solid, and also through my lifetime, 1242 00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:02,560 Speaker 20: until we got to Adrian Orr, we had what you want, 1243 00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:05,480 Speaker 20: which is an old school Reserve Bank governors. They are 1244 00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,880 Speaker 20: like the Mount Rushmore. They just wheeled out, there's no emotion, 1245 00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:10,840 Speaker 20: They give the facts and then they wheel them back in. 1246 00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:14,800 Speaker 20: I cannot believe that the reputation of the Reserve Bank 1247 00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:19,360 Speaker 20: has sunk to this level. Yes, and I think the 1248 00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:22,200 Speaker 20: energy that the Reserve Bank put into trying to cover 1249 00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:27,000 Speaker 20: up Adrian Or's resignation and what really happened is a 1250 00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:31,680 Speaker 20: serious issue. The idea that New Zealanders weren't allowed to 1251 00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:35,480 Speaker 20: know what had happened is ridiculous and in the event, 1252 00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:39,520 Speaker 20: we should have known immediately. And the other point about 1253 00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:44,200 Speaker 20: it is that the government has heaped on the reputational damage. 1254 00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,000 Speaker 20: So last Monday, with the Prime Minister coming on Mike 1255 00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:51,200 Speaker 20: Hoskins Show and saying he has some reckons with the 1256 00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:55,440 Speaker 20: Reserve Bank. The acting governor, Christian Hawksby. I think the 1257 00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:58,600 Speaker 20: Nikola Willis handling of this it has just heaped on 1258 00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,640 Speaker 20: their reputational damage of the Reserve Bank and that is 1259 00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:05,720 Speaker 20: very very serious now, especially at the time we're in now. 1260 00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:09,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally agree. I think Josie that there are 1261 00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:11,800 Speaker 2: real questions around whether Nicola Willis can actually walk away 1262 00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:14,640 Speaker 2: from this completely unscathed and escape criticism because she knew 1263 00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:17,640 Speaker 2: for six months, she knew that the story that they 1264 00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:19,720 Speaker 2: were telling us was a bunch of porky's and she 1265 00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:23,320 Speaker 2: just kept on, she kept on covering for them. That's unexcepted. 1266 00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,000 Speaker 21: But the first mistake, the first mistake though, is to 1267 00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:28,160 Speaker 21: think that you could do a deal with Adriane or 1268 00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:30,680 Speaker 21: to say this letter will be screwed up and put 1269 00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:33,040 Speaker 21: on the bin and it will never come out when 1270 00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:37,480 Speaker 21: you're right trous something is where trust is the absolute 1271 00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:41,280 Speaker 21: currency in the Reserve Bank when it comes to its role, 1272 00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:44,440 Speaker 21: and if you lose that trust, you then have to 1273 00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:44,880 Speaker 21: go right. 1274 00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:45,400 Speaker 12: We've got to. 1275 00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,080 Speaker 21: Name the problem, tell people what it was. There was 1276 00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:52,440 Speaker 21: a breakdown in the relationship, a breakdown and behavior breakdown 1277 00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:55,480 Speaker 21: with Adrian and Nicola Willis and so on. Be straight 1278 00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:57,640 Speaker 21: up with people, because we know you're all human, but 1279 00:59:57,800 --> 00:59:59,760 Speaker 21: we don't trust you now that you're going to tell 1280 00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:02,840 Speaker 21: us when things go wrong again. And so whoever is 1281 01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:06,000 Speaker 21: coming in, whoever comes in as the next governor, you know, 1282 01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:08,760 Speaker 21: Roger Finley stays as the chair. The thing they've got 1283 01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:11,400 Speaker 21: to focus on more than anything now is steady as 1284 01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:14,680 Speaker 21: she goes. Trust, transparency, tell us everything that you know, 1285 01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:17,880 Speaker 21: talk us through what you're debating in your in meetings 1286 01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:18,600 Speaker 21: about what you're. 1287 01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:18,760 Speaker 22: Going to do. 1288 01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:19,440 Speaker 3: Give us. 1289 01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:22,640 Speaker 21: Reassure us that we will know if things are going 1290 01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:23,439 Speaker 21: badly wrong again. 1291 01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:27,800 Speaker 2: Yep, stop telling Porky's Okay, Trish, was it windy enough 1292 01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:30,440 Speaker 2: in Auckland yesterday to shut Cornwall Park? In case you 1293 01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:31,919 Speaker 2: got hat by a bit of flying wood. 1294 01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:38,320 Speaker 20: I am completely exercised about the fact that just general 1295 01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:43,960 Speaker 20: winter weather these days means that harbor bridges are closed, 1296 01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:48,440 Speaker 20: parks are closed. There is literally a mass panic. And 1297 01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,000 Speaker 20: you know, I have to say when I read a 1298 01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:55,320 Speaker 20: headline that says an atmospheric river, which just means rain, 1299 01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:59,800 Speaker 20: Actually that's all that is all totally hyping it up. 1300 01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,240 Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. What the hell is wrong with us, trash, 1301 01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:04,600 Speaker 2: what is wrong with it? It's just a windy day, 1302 01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:06,520 Speaker 2: like a willing to do it's a windy day. 1303 01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:09,280 Speaker 20: But what has happened to us is that, in fairness 1304 01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:14,200 Speaker 20: to the managers of Cornwall Park, if you are you know, 1305 01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:16,640 Speaker 20: if you're coming under the Health and Safety Act and 1306 01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:20,240 Speaker 20: you and you're deemed to be one of the safety people, 1307 01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:24,160 Speaker 20: you are so risk averse these days that you do that, 1308 01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:26,440 Speaker 20: that you take the easy option and you shut. 1309 01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:27,280 Speaker 2: Things like this down. 1310 01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,680 Speaker 20: That that is why, because the fear of risk and 1311 01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:34,200 Speaker 20: liability is so big. But it's an absolute nonsense. And 1312 01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:37,680 Speaker 20: I also would just put out a challenge to people 1313 01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:41,960 Speaker 20: that you know, just look outside, assess the weather yourself, 1314 01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:43,040 Speaker 20: make a call on it. 1315 01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:44,600 Speaker 2: It's really not that difficult. 1316 01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:47,560 Speaker 1: I'm told I need a yes or no. 1317 01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:50,760 Speaker 11: Sorry, Joseph, have you've got a brain. 1318 01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:51,400 Speaker 17: Yeah. 1319 01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:54,000 Speaker 21: But one of the consequences of this is that because 1320 01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,560 Speaker 21: we're kind of getting the risk matrix back to front now, 1321 01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:58,720 Speaker 21: because we're so terrified of making a. 1322 01:01:58,840 --> 01:01:59,840 Speaker 12: Mistake like you. 1323 01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:02,000 Speaker 21: We did a report to our board the other day 1324 01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:03,920 Speaker 21: where we said, oh, we put a mat by the 1325 01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:06,400 Speaker 21: left because when it rains people slip a little bit. 1326 01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:08,480 Speaker 21: So we've put a map down and we've laid a 1327 01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:10,640 Speaker 21: cable down and we've put taped it down so no 1328 01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:12,640 Speaker 21: on trips over it and realized at the end of 1329 01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:14,200 Speaker 21: the meeting we've forgotten. 1330 01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:14,280 Speaker 18: To say that. 1331 01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:16,400 Speaker 21: Oh and by the way, Josie was in a tsunami 1332 01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:20,240 Speaker 21: in the Solomon Islands last week. So your whole kind 1333 01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:23,640 Speaker 21: of risk sense of what's really a risk starts to 1334 01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,200 Speaker 21: get completely skewed and you forget the things that are 1335 01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:28,600 Speaker 21: actually a real risk, like tsunami. 1336 01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:30,240 Speaker 2: Jeez, I think we might need to shut all of 1337 01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:32,440 Speaker 2: Wellington down because it's quite windy. 1338 01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:34,040 Speaker 6: Well that would have to be permanent. 1339 01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:37,080 Speaker 20: Wun't We've already done that, Heather, I've already done it. 1340 01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:40,040 Speaker 20: There's Augusta when in a drop of rain, Wellington's gone 1341 01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:41,800 Speaker 20: down there. 1342 01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:46,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I've defintely closed lockdown, lockdown for any wind guys. 1343 01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:49,120 Speaker 2: Thank you very much appreciated, Trishus and Joseph Aganey.

But I don't know 1349 01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:05,640 Speaker 2: whether to take this seriously or just have a laugh 1350 01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:09,760 Speaker 2: at it.

Did you read about the judge giving the 1419 01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:24,760 Speaker 2: gang patch back to the mongrel old member last week? 1420 01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:27,480 Speaker 6: I've seen the story. 1421 01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:28,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, what do we do about this? 1422 01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:33,400 Speaker 6: Well, ultimately we don't interfere in the courts. The gang 1423 01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:36,120 Speaker 6: patch ban is working really well. I think mostly zellers 1424 01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:38,680 Speaker 6: around the country will have noticed a decline in the 1425 01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:41,400 Speaker 6: number of gang members wearing patches around the traps, which 1426 01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:44,400 Speaker 6: is a good thing. Means less intimidation for people, and 1427 01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:46,320 Speaker 6: you know it's having an effect, so it's working really well. 1428 01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:46,680 Speaker 18: Yeah. 1429 01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:49,320 Speaker 2: The problem here, apparently is that the law. You guys 1430 01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:51,400 Speaker 2: were told to write the law so that if the 1431 01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:55,240 Speaker 2: gang patch was confiscated it would be destroyed, so it 1432 01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:57,800 Speaker 2: cannot be handed back. Would you would you consider amending 1433 01:06:57,840 --> 01:06:58,240 Speaker 2: the law. 1434 01:06:58,160 --> 01:06:58,480 Speaker 8: To do that. 1435 01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:01,880 Speaker 6: I'm sure Paul Godsmith and mart Mature are having a 1436 01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:03,400 Speaker 6: reader of the judgment and I'm sure they'll be taking 1437 01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:05,600 Speaker 6: advice on it. I'm not across it, and I'm sure 1438 01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:06,360 Speaker 6: they'll be having a look at it. 1439 01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:08,760 Speaker 2: Okay, I hope. So is it true that government departments 1440 01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:10,000 Speaker 2: are going to merge in a big way? 1441 01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:15,080 Speaker 6: The Public Service Commission, Sir Brian Roche and his team 1442 01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:17,440 Speaker 6: there are having a look at a range of changes. 1443 01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:20,640 Speaker 6: Some of it's become public around housing and Ministry for 1444 01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:23,840 Speaker 6: the Environment and transport and things like that, and they 1445 01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:26,040 Speaker 6: are looking at a wider range of changes. I think 1446 01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:28,800 Speaker 6: most people agree that we, you know, we can streamline 1447 01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:31,200 Speaker 6: things a bit more and reduce the bureaucracy. You know, 1448 01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:33,160 Speaker 6: we've got a huge number of ministers and a huge 1449 01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:36,400 Speaker 6: number of government departments, and you know we're having a 1450 01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:38,320 Speaker 6: look at that. This is all about making sure public 1451 01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:40,560 Speaker 6: services are delivered for New Zealanders in a more effective 1452 01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:41,960 Speaker 6: and cost effective way. 1453 01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:45,320 Speaker 2: Would you support going like a drastic reduction like forty 1454 01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:45,960 Speaker 2: down to twenty. 1455 01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:50,480 Speaker 6: Well, let's wait and see where things get to. I know, 1456 01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:52,760 Speaker 6: Sir Brian and his team are having a look at 1457 01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:53,240 Speaker 6: those things. 1458 01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:55,560 Speaker 2: That's huge at that bush would you be like, oh, 1459 01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:57,880 Speaker 2: no way, would you ever think about that? 1460 01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:01,360 Speaker 6: Maybe, Well, I'm in favor of smaller government. I want 1461 01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:03,760 Speaker 6: to get government. I want to reduce the size of government, 1462 01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:05,360 Speaker 6: and I want the government that we have to be 1463 01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:08,280 Speaker 6: more effective at what it does. So anything that meets 1464 01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:10,040 Speaker 6: those tests, you know, we'll have a good look at. 1465 01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:12,160 Speaker 6: And that's that's not just my position, it's the it's 1466 01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:14,200 Speaker 6: the view of the government as well. So we'll have 1467 01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:15,800 Speaker 6: a look at all of those things. But you've also 1468 01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:18,639 Speaker 6: got to weigh it up against the cost of change. 1469 01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:22,679 Speaker 6: You know, there's there are a lot of public service 1470 01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:26,200 Speaker 6: working for the government right now, and we have a 1471 01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:28,920 Speaker 6: lot of government departments. Every time you merge them together 1472 01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:31,760 Speaker 6: or reduce them or bring them into things, you know, 1473 01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:34,240 Speaker 6: I'm thinking of mb for example, which happened under the 1474 01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:37,160 Speaker 6: last National government, there's a cost change right There's you know, 1475 01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:38,840 Speaker 6: people have got to reapply for jobs, you've got to 1476 01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:42,320 Speaker 6: hire new managers, you've got rebranding, you've got logos, you know, all. 1477 01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:42,840 Speaker 3: That sort of stuff. 1478 01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:44,400 Speaker 6: So you've got to weigh up we doing all those things, 1479 01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:46,160 Speaker 6: you know, because that's that's all part of it as well. 1480 01:08:46,400 --> 01:08:47,800 Speaker 2: How long is it going to take before we get 1481 01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:49,160 Speaker 2: an answers to what's going to happen here? 1482 01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:53,160 Speaker 6: I would I would say in the next few months. 1483 01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:54,920 Speaker 6: It's this is not a it's like not like a 1484 01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:56,800 Speaker 6: next week type thing, but this is I know, so 1485 01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:58,160 Speaker 6: Brian and the team you're having a look at it, 1486 01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:00,040 Speaker 6: but it's not something that's going to happen probably the 1487 01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:01,160 Speaker 6: side of Christmas, I'd say. 1488 01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:03,920 Speaker 2: West Winston's so weird about talking about foreign buyers. 1489 01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:07,160 Speaker 6: Oh, you'll have to put that to him. I think 1490 01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:10,720 Speaker 6: you see how weird he is. I've seen a hero 1491 01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:13,320 Speaker 6: story in which he or it might be in his 1492 01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:16,439 Speaker 6: dom poster actually which he gets. You know, he's a 1493 01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:19,120 Speaker 6: little bit fired up about a about the issue. But 1494 01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:21,479 Speaker 6: I can understand where he's coming from because what we're 1495 01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:25,400 Speaker 6: doing on the on the on the foreign investment thing 1496 01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:28,360 Speaker 6: that's been announced today is is it doesn't affect the 1497 01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:31,479 Speaker 6: foreign buyer ban at all. I mean, over ninety nine 1498 01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:34,160 Speaker 6: percent of homes are not affected. So what we're saying 1499 01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:35,760 Speaker 6: is if you turn up here and you want to 1500 01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:38,000 Speaker 6: invest five million bucks or more because you're part of 1501 01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:40,519 Speaker 6: the Golden Visa, the active investor plus Visa, which has 1502 01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:42,400 Speaker 6: been extraordinarily successful. By the way, I had over a 1503 01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:45,040 Speaker 6: one point five billion dollars worth of investment. So if 1504 01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:47,360 Speaker 6: you want to invest here in New Zealand and put 1505 01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:50,120 Speaker 6: money into the country and you know, hire people and everything, 1506 01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:51,439 Speaker 6: we're just. 1507 01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:52,639 Speaker 3: Saying you should be able to buy a house. 1508 01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:54,400 Speaker 6: And we're not saying you buy any house. You can 1509 01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:56,120 Speaker 6: only buy one five million dollars or more. 1510 01:09:56,479 --> 01:09:58,479 Speaker 2: Talking about this for the last two hours, we're across 1511 01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:01,240 Speaker 2: the detail. But you know, I mean, you're right. I 1512 01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:03,040 Speaker 2: need to talk to Winston about why he's so weird 1513 01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:04,519 Speaker 2: about it. I don't want to make you defend him. 1514 01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:06,680 Speaker 2: That would just be weird for you. Okay, what are 1515 01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:08,520 Speaker 2: we going to do about the totaling a report extension? 1516 01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:10,400 Speaker 2: What do we change in the law here to make 1517 01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:10,880 Speaker 2: this happen? 1518 01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:13,400 Speaker 6: We're going to fix it. There's a bit of a 1519 01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:16,519 Speaker 6: stuff up frankly through the process. Now there's a long 1520 01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:19,240 Speaker 6: story behind it, which I won't bore you with. We've 1521 01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:21,800 Speaker 6: had a judgment, we're going to act and you know, 1522 01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:26,200 Speaker 6: we've got legislation coming for the fast tracked supermarket regime 1523 01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:28,240 Speaker 6: and there's a whole bunch of residual you know, kind 1524 01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:29,800 Speaker 6: of remedial things we're going to do with the fast 1525 01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:32,680 Speaker 6: track regime as part of that to improve it. And 1526 01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:34,920 Speaker 6: so that's the sort of legislative vehicle. So we're going 1527 01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:37,280 Speaker 6: to fix it, acknowledge the problem. It is a problem, 1528 01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:38,960 Speaker 6: and we're going to fix it. 1529 01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:40,639 Speaker 2: And then when do they get their hearing again because 1530 01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:41,719 Speaker 2: it was supposed to happen today. 1531 01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:44,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, I know, so that that's we're just gonna We're 1532 01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:47,760 Speaker 6: just working our way through that right now. It's not 1533 01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:49,960 Speaker 6: an immediate fix. Like we know, Parliament's not even sitting 1534 01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:51,840 Speaker 6: this week, for example, so we can't you know, we 1535 01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:54,640 Speaker 6: can't fix it this week. We can't fix it next 1536 01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:56,320 Speaker 6: week either. There's a bit of a process to go through. 1537 01:10:56,400 --> 01:11:00,160 Speaker 6: So it is intensely frustrating. I'm as annoyed by as 1538 01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:03,400 Speaker 6: everybody else. You know, sixty percent of exports by value 1539 01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:05,320 Speaker 6: go out of the Port of Toronto. They have literally 1540 01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:08,599 Speaker 6: ships lining up to get in to get it, get 1541 01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:10,439 Speaker 6: stuff out of our porch and our care we throw 1542 01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:12,479 Speaker 6: it and everything else. So I'm as frustrated by it 1543 01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:13,200 Speaker 6: as anybody else. 1544 01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:15,000 Speaker 2: And we are going to fix it, Okay, yes or no? 1545 01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:20,200 Speaker 2: Are you going to nationalize the thermal generation in this country. No, 1546 01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:21,800 Speaker 2: thank god, we're having a lot. 1547 01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:24,760 Speaker 6: We're not doing that, but we are having a look 1548 01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:26,880 Speaker 6: at the operation of the ultrucity market. As you know, 1549 01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:30,080 Speaker 6: it is not an easy issue. I'll just say that 1550 01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:35,040 Speaker 6: it is complicated, and I can just reassure everybody listening 1551 01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:37,360 Speaker 6: that we are it is one of our top priorities 1552 01:11:37,479 --> 01:11:40,519 Speaker 6: to deliver more secure and affordable energy formula. 1553 01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:42,200 Speaker 2: So I'm glad you're not going to nationalize, because that's 1554 01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:44,360 Speaker 2: some kooky stuff we don't need going on in this country. 1555 01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:46,800 Speaker 2: But what I'm also not keen on is that we 1556 01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:49,800 Speaker 2: get into another situation like with the supermarkets, where we're 1557 01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:52,160 Speaker 2: faffing around and it's just bitsy bitsy stuff and it 1558 01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:54,280 Speaker 2: really doesn't make a big difference. Are you actually going 1559 01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:55,000 Speaker 2: to do something here. 1560 01:11:56,479 --> 01:11:58,400 Speaker 6: We're working our way through that process. So I'm not 1561 01:11:58,439 --> 01:12:01,040 Speaker 6: the most so I can't but well, I can't speak 1562 01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:02,640 Speaker 6: for him, but I can tell you that we are. 1563 01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:05,200 Speaker 6: We've had the you know, we've had We've had a 1564 01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:07,639 Speaker 6: number of reports. Actually, there's been an energy Competition task 1565 01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:09,400 Speaker 6: Force and all the rest of it. So we're working 1566 01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:11,479 Speaker 6: our way through that process and once Cabinet's come to 1567 01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:12,920 Speaker 6: a decision. You know it'll be announced. 1568 01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:13,280 Speaker 20: Cool. 1569 01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:15,599 Speaker 2: Hey, do you think it's weird that Kesey and Clark 1570 01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:17,160 Speaker 2: at the China summit? 1571 01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:22,639 Speaker 6: Well, that's ultimately over to them. I mean, obviously Helen 1572 01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:26,200 Speaker 6: Clark and John Key had you know, with their governments, 1573 01:12:26,240 --> 01:12:28,680 Speaker 6: had had good relations. You know, we did the free 1574 01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:31,640 Speaker 6: trade deal under the Clark government, which continued on and 1575 01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:32,879 Speaker 6: saw huge expenses. 1576 01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:36,160 Speaker 2: You don't because you're not none of you. 1577 01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:37,920 Speaker 6: No, No, I'm not. I'm not saying that at all. 1578 01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:40,519 Speaker 6: I'm just saying that I think it reflects the historical 1579 01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:42,040 Speaker 6: circumstances of their. 1580 01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:44,559 Speaker 2: But if they got invited because they had good relations 1581 01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:46,600 Speaker 2: and none of you got invited, that its because you 1582 01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:47,679 Speaker 2: haven't got good relations. 1583 01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:50,880 Speaker 6: No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't read it into it like that. 1584 01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:54,479 Speaker 6: Ultimately that you know, that's another question for mister Peterson. 1585 01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:58,400 Speaker 6: But are you a little bit I'm on the Foreign minister, 1586 01:12:58,560 --> 01:12:59,639 Speaker 6: but come on, you're. 1587 01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:01,000 Speaker 2: Just like a little bum that you're not at the 1588 01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:02,880 Speaker 2: party that Kim Jong on is at because it might 1589 01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:04,280 Speaker 2: be your only chance to meet him. 1590 01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:07,880 Speaker 6: I don't think I'll ever get to meet Kim Jong On. 1591 01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:09,080 Speaker 2: Oh wouldn't it be good? 1592 01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:09,320 Speaker 8: Though? 1593 01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:12,000 Speaker 6: What upset about. 1594 01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:14,519 Speaker 2: I'd love it all right, listen, did you see what 1595 01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:18,400 Speaker 2: Auckland Auckland Transport's doing with the sixty three million dollars 1596 01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:20,639 Speaker 2: on road cones and traffic management that they think is fine? 1597 01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:24,519 Speaker 6: Yeah, sure, they've got their numbers coming down to be fair, 1598 01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:27,360 Speaker 6: and it's about five percent of their capital costs.

Six twenty one, Shane Soley, 1696 01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:26,080 Speaker 2: Harbor Asset Management is with US. Hello Shane, Hello, yaba, Okay, 1697 01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:28,360 Speaker 2: what do you reckon? You look at this this economic 1698 01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:31,200 Speaker 2: data out last week. Do you think that we get 1699 01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:32,400 Speaker 2: cuts in the US? 1700 01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:35,360 Speaker 22: Yeah? Look in the US, we're on track here there 1701 01:17:35,360 --> 01:17:38,519 Speaker 22: are business of inflation data out last week. Doesn't really 1702 01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:42,559 Speaker 22: alter the head reserve rate cuts path, but it does 1703 01:17:42,640 --> 01:17:44,680 Speaker 22: give them a the more ammunition. The key points that 1704 01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:46,519 Speaker 22: came out last week was this thing called the Personal 1705 01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:51,320 Speaker 22: Consumption Expendre PCEE. It's the fed's key inflation indicator. Watch 1706 01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:53,599 Speaker 22: came out at zero point three for the month for June. 1707 01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:55,519 Speaker 22: It's pretty much in line and then we had a 1708 01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:58,400 Speaker 22: Michigan consumercy you're going to go who here is the 1709 01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:02,400 Speaker 22: keeping was? They're Importantly, they talked about inflation expectations for 1710 01:18:02,479 --> 01:18:04,040 Speaker 22: the five to ten year dropping to three and a 1711 01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:07,120 Speaker 22: half percent, again still high, but not as high as 1712 01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:09,479 Speaker 22: it was. So this is sort of opening the door 1713 01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:13,120 Speaker 22: for the Fed to cut by zero point to twenty 1714 01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:15,880 Speaker 22: five percent taken into four twenty five to four point 1715 01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:19,519 Speaker 22: five this Friday, however, head we have the non farm payrolls, 1716 01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:22,160 Speaker 22: but that would be really important as an indicator as 1717 01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:24,040 Speaker 22: to how hard the Fed goes. 1718 01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:27,120 Speaker 2: Now, what happened to the video share price on Friday? 1719 01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:30,519 Speaker 22: Yeah? Interesting one it was our three just out of 1720 01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:32,920 Speaker 22: three percent, three point three percent, a little bit of 1721 01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:35,479 Speaker 22: a soft result. Last week it was okay, not quite 1722 01:18:35,479 --> 01:18:37,160 Speaker 22: as good as people wanted build. Really, what had it 1723 01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:41,360 Speaker 22: was a news that Ali Baba, the Chinese tech company, 1724 01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:45,599 Speaker 22: has developed a new chip. It's compatible with the videos platform. Indeed, 1725 01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:49,759 Speaker 22: if the reports are right, then engineers can repurpose programs 1726 01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:52,880 Speaker 22: they wrote for video chips for use with Alibaba chips, 1727 01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:56,120 Speaker 22: and then that means it's more competitive for this growing 1728 01:18:56,200 --> 01:18:59,160 Speaker 22: demand for artificial intelligence. So yeah, we saw the in 1729 01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:01,120 Speaker 22: video ship rice, it's come off it's all time high 1730 01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:03,400 Speaker 22: of one hundred and eighty three dollars US closed it 1731 01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:05,680 Speaker 22: at one hundred and seventy four dollars US, down three 1732 01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:08,200 Speaker 22: point three percent, still forty eight percent high than it 1733 01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:10,479 Speaker 22: was a year ago. So a little way to go 1734 01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:12,200 Speaker 22: before we're going to have to really get worried about it. 1735 01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:15,040 Speaker 2: Yeah too, right now. Chinese economic data came out in 1736 01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:17,280 Speaker 2: the last few days as well. Looking at that, what 1737 01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:18,759 Speaker 2: are you thinking about our economy? 1738 01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:22,200 Speaker 22: Well, the key thing was it was okay. It was okay, 1739 01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:27,080 Speaker 22: suggesting overall that the broader purchasing manager in this is 1740 01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:30,599 Speaker 22: the composite one purchasing manager of dies is a lead 1741 01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:33,439 Speaker 22: indicator of economic activity, was above fifty. It was at 1742 01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:36,680 Speaker 22: fifty point five. It's above fifty. It means the economy expanding. 1743 01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:40,400 Speaker 22: But the devil was in the detail, the manufacturing part 1744 01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:44,280 Speaker 22: of the purchasing managergacy, that was a below fifty. It 1745 01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:46,200 Speaker 22: was at forty nine point four and slipped back, so 1746 01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:50,640 Speaker 22: it means manufacturers not as positive on growing. That was 1747 01:19:50,680 --> 01:19:53,320 Speaker 22: the non manufacturing part that was positive. So good for 1748 01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:57,000 Speaker 22: our businesses that are perhaps providing services or things that 1749 01:19:57,080 --> 01:20:01,000 Speaker 22: are consumed by you know, service parts of the Chinese 1750 01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:03,960 Speaker 22: economy rather than manufacturer, but nonetheless kind of outful. 1751 01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:05,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, good stuff, Shane.

They've made a replica 1772 01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:07,560 Speaker 2: of Elsa's gigantic ice castle right in the middle of 1773 01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:07,960 Speaker 2: the land. 1774 01:21:08,240 --> 01:21:09,120 Speaker 3: When it is high and. 1775 01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:11,720 Speaker 2: Scale, the ice powers made out of. 1776 01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:12,920 Speaker 11: More than thirty pieces. 1777 01:21:13,360 --> 01:21:16,200 Speaker 2: Who for sure become a vita at the gas Wal 1778 01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:18,400 Speaker 2: touris as they approached. 1779 01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:19,080 Speaker 3: This new or Mercenaria. 1780 01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:22,160 Speaker 2: And also you're gonna you're gonna be able to visit 1781 01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:25,000 Speaker 2: sooner than you think, first half of next year. So 1782 01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:27,880 Speaker 2: the school, Hollybob's right up at the start. Yay, I 1783 01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:30,600 Speaker 2: know the movies are bad enough. I've never watched a 1784 01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:32,840 Speaker 2: movie I have. I have a boy child, so I 1785 01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:34,640 Speaker 2: haven't had to deal with this just yet, but I 1786 01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:38,200 Speaker 2: because I will. Obviously, I don't mind what he watches. 1787 01:21:38,240 --> 01:21:40,040 Speaker 2: If he wants to watch a girl things he's allowed. 1788 01:21:40,240 --> 01:21:41,720 Speaker 2: Don't worry. I'm not one of those. 1789 01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:42,960 Speaker 3: Now. 1790 01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:47,160 Speaker 2: Did you see the cap snatching over the weekend at 1791 01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:50,040 Speaker 2: the tennis Did you see it? While the guy's been identified, 1792 01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:53,120 Speaker 2: he's the chief executive of a Polish paving company called 1793 01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:57,080 Speaker 2: Drogbrook and his name is Puot she Sharak doesn't mean 1794 01:21:57,120 --> 01:21:59,519 Speaker 2: anything to us but the point is simply, we now 1795 01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:02,000 Speaker 2: know who that guy was, and he's a millionaire and 1796 01:22:02,120 --> 01:22:04,600 Speaker 2: as a result, he is coppying it online like he 1797 01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:08,240 Speaker 2: should because a millionaire stole a cap from a kid 1798 01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:10,360 Speaker 2: that a tennis player was trying to give to the kid. 1799 01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:12,560 Speaker 2: And the lesson in this is don't behave like a 1800 01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:15,719 Speaker 2: dick in public because someone's filming it all the time. Coldplay, 1801 01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:16,360 Speaker 2: couple right. 1802 01:22:16,640 --> 01:22:28,080 Speaker 3: News is next, whether it's macro micro or just playing economics. 1803 01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:31,679 Speaker 1: It's all on the Business Hour with Heather Duplessy Allen 1804 01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:34,920 Speaker 1: and has for Trusted Home Insurance Solutions. 1805 01:22:35,280 --> 01:22:36,120 Speaker 3: He's talks. 1806 01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:46,320 Speaker 6: Pether. 1807 01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:49,040 Speaker 2: Did IM miss Jamie McKay in your program this afternoon, 1808 01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:51,920 Speaker 2: because I absolutely love his early Saturday morning show, But 1809 01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:53,560 Speaker 2: I worked a bit later today and I hope he 1810 01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:56,439 Speaker 2: was stoked with the Southland Stags ran fully shield over 1811 01:22:56,479 --> 01:22:58,920 Speaker 2: the weekend way, No, he does Tuesdays and Thursdays. But 1812 01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:01,240 Speaker 2: let me tell you that has who lives in the 1813 01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:04,280 Speaker 2: same house as me, was stoked with the Southland Stags 1814 01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:06,360 Speaker 2: ran fairly shield wind because when it was large, like 1815 01:23:06,479 --> 01:23:09,240 Speaker 2: was it nineteen ninety one or something like that, there 1816 01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:10,880 Speaker 2: was a long time I don't know two thousand. Maybe 1817 01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:14,000 Speaker 2: I made that up, might have been twenty eleven, might 1818 01:23:14,080 --> 01:23:15,640 Speaker 2: have been a lot more recent, but it was a 1819 01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:20,040 Speaker 2: long time between drinks. So every Southlander is suddenly thrilled. 1820 01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:22,439 Speaker 2: Gavin Gray is going to be with us shortly. It 1821 01:23:22,479 --> 01:23:25,000 Speaker 2: turns out that the Queen, as in Queen Camilla, was 1822 01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:29,560 Speaker 2: the victim of a groping incident on the Tube some 1823 01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:31,400 Speaker 2: years ago when she was very young, and she fought 1824 01:23:31,439 --> 01:23:33,000 Speaker 2: the guy off. So anyway, he'll talk us through the 1825 01:23:33,040 --> 01:23:35,200 Speaker 2: detail winnings with us right now. It's twenty three away from. 1826 01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:37,599 Speaker 3: Seven heather Sea a moment. 1827 01:23:37,640 --> 01:23:39,560 Speaker 2: Obviously, we're trying to figure out how to fix the 1828 01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:41,720 Speaker 2: electricity sector and we're getting a lot of ideas, and 1829 01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:44,200 Speaker 2: one of them is from the former boss of Mercury Energy, 1830 01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:46,439 Speaker 2: who says that we need to drop the carbon price 1831 01:23:46,520 --> 01:23:48,639 Speaker 2: that we put on coal through the ETS to bring 1832 01:23:48,760 --> 01:23:51,280 Speaker 2: our power prices down. His Fraser Winner and he's with 1833 01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:54,320 Speaker 2: us now, High Fraser, Hi, Heather, So do you reckon 1834 01:23:54,360 --> 01:23:56,280 Speaker 2: you charge coal the same as you charge gas? 1835 01:23:57,400 --> 01:23:59,080 Speaker 16: Yeah, that was one of four things I laid out 1836 01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:03,120 Speaker 16: in an article I did recently, because at the moment 1837 01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:06,519 Speaker 16: what we have is an unfortunate intersection between the ETS 1838 01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:09,800 Speaker 16: and the spot market and the electricity. Now, the point 1839 01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:13,519 Speaker 16: of the ETS is to is to then incentivize using 1840 01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:17,160 Speaker 16: lower greenhouse gase alternatives. But there isn't an alternative for 1841 01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:20,920 Speaker 16: hydro insurance and the electricity system for a South Island drought. 1842 01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:22,880 Speaker 3: So you can only use coal. 1843 01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:24,080 Speaker 6: Now because of gas market shot. 1844 01:24:24,240 --> 01:24:29,080 Speaker 16: So unfortunately, that high price of carbon then flows through 1845 01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:31,760 Speaker 16: to a price of turning on the coal plant, which 1846 01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:34,680 Speaker 16: then flows through to everyone's power prices when there's no 1847 01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:36,000 Speaker 16: alternative to enter into. 1848 01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:38,479 Speaker 2: So because we've got no because we're running out of gas, 1849 01:24:38,720 --> 01:24:41,360 Speaker 2: we've only got coal, therefore charged coal lower. But if 1850 01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:43,679 Speaker 2: we were charging so just tell me the difference between 1851 01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:45,479 Speaker 2: between the two of them. What does coal get charged 1852 01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:46,760 Speaker 2: at and what does gas get charged at? 1853 01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:48,960 Speaker 16: So, if you're making a decision to turn on the 1854 01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:51,920 Speaker 16: coal power station, there a huntly one dollar a ton 1855 01:24:51,960 --> 01:24:54,040 Speaker 16: of carbon equals a dollar per mega what are So 1856 01:24:54,439 --> 01:24:57,040 Speaker 16: carbon's now priced at about sixty five dollars, so that 1857 01:24:57,240 --> 01:25:00,680 Speaker 16: lifts the price at which you'd offer that power in 1858 01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:03,400 Speaker 16: it huntly by sixty five dollars per megawatt hour, which 1859 01:25:03,439 --> 01:25:06,000 Speaker 16: is a huge amount if you if you're running a 1860 01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:09,080 Speaker 16: large gas fired power station, which is not many left now, 1861 01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:11,519 Speaker 16: but that would be a third of that. So that 1862 01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:14,799 Speaker 16: means about forty five dollars per megawatt hour is simply 1863 01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:17,080 Speaker 16: the insurance cost of coal. 1864 01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:19,160 Speaker 3: Now we don't use much coal in New Zealand. 1865 01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:22,320 Speaker 16: It's down to single digits thanks to go thermal and 1866 01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:25,640 Speaker 16: now wind because it's pushed GFIM was a baseload and 1867 01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:28,240 Speaker 16: it's just pushed the Huntly power station off the stack 1868 01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:31,760 Speaker 16: from the two thousands, right, and so now what we 1869 01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:34,920 Speaker 16: just need it for is South Island hydro insurance and 1870 01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:37,600 Speaker 16: there is nothing else. No, you'd need three hundred and 1871 01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:40,439 Speaker 16: fifty million power walls or something like that to be 1872 01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:42,840 Speaker 16: able to do the hydro insurance in the South Island. 1873 01:25:42,920 --> 01:25:44,519 Speaker 16: That's why coal is the only one. 1874 01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:44,720 Speaker 12: To do it. 1875 01:25:45,280 --> 01:25:47,240 Speaker 2: So what would it bring our prices down by? 1876 01:25:48,280 --> 01:25:49,960 Speaker 16: Well, I don't know that all will have to flow 1877 01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:52,160 Speaker 16: through the market. But I've been on both sides of this. 1878 01:25:52,400 --> 01:25:56,400 Speaker 16: I've I've run Mercury, so I've sold made built power 1879 01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:58,680 Speaker 16: stations and being involved with that, and I've been the 1880 01:25:58,760 --> 01:26:02,719 Speaker 16: COO of Fonterra was the second or fourth largest user 1881 01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:05,760 Speaker 16: of electricity and a whole bunch of other energy as well, 1882 01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:07,960 Speaker 16: so I've been on both sides of the market my view, 1883 01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:11,599 Speaker 16: and having looked at that spot electricity market and rainfall 1884 01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:15,479 Speaker 16: patterns for twelve years when I was at Mercury, I 1885 01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:18,040 Speaker 16: think it'd probably bring it down by tens of dollars 1886 01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:21,040 Speaker 16: per mega. What are on that insurance cost which flows 1887 01:26:21,080 --> 01:26:24,240 Speaker 16: through to the future's curve. Everything prices off the futures curve. 1888 01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:27,840 Speaker 2: Right, If this is the kind of perverse effect that 1889 01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:30,640 Speaker 2: the ETS is having, then should we not just get 1890 01:26:30,720 --> 01:26:32,000 Speaker 2: rid of the ETS altogether? 1891 01:26:33,160 --> 01:26:36,160 Speaker 16: Well, I think the ETS has its has its own 1892 01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:38,400 Speaker 16: origins in place. It's just what we've got at the 1893 01:26:38,439 --> 01:26:41,280 Speaker 16: moment is an unfortunate intersection of the two. We didn't 1894 01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:43,320 Speaker 16: used to have this because gas would be able to 1895 01:26:43,360 --> 01:26:46,240 Speaker 16: come along and compete with coal, but now gas isn't 1896 01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:50,599 Speaker 16: able to do that, so we've only got one one 1897 01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:53,479 Speaker 16: thing that can do this, insurance, And so it's just 1898 01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:56,720 Speaker 16: a perverse incentive that's come together by the ETES and 1899 01:26:56,760 --> 01:27:01,320 Speaker 16: the spot electricity market and intersecting here. So if we 1900 01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:03,479 Speaker 16: just look at the unique drivers of that, then I 1901 01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:07,400 Speaker 16: think we can make it work and keep both markets intact. 1902 01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:09,280 Speaker 16: If that's what politically people want to do. 1903 01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:12,120 Speaker 2: Listen. I'm sure you've been following this business, the rumors 1904 01:27:12,120 --> 01:27:15,120 Speaker 2: around the Frontier Report, which apparently recommends that the government 1905 01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:17,760 Speaker 2: nationalizes thermal generation. Would you do that? 1906 01:27:18,920 --> 01:27:21,800 Speaker 16: Yeah, I don't think that's needed. I think the discipline 1907 01:27:21,840 --> 01:27:24,599 Speaker 16: I went right through six years before Mighty River Power 1908 01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:27,439 Speaker 16: was listed and then where I was running operations and 1909 01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:30,439 Speaker 16: sixties afterwards where I was chief executive, and I can 1910 01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:33,840 Speaker 16: tell you the impact of being having the disciplines of 1911 01:27:33,960 --> 01:27:39,439 Speaker 16: the capital markets on performance is and just doing good 1912 01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:42,840 Speaker 16: business is phenomenal. So I think it still needs to 1913 01:27:43,080 --> 01:27:45,160 Speaker 16: It can stay in private hands, but I do think 1914 01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:49,120 Speaker 16: we need to make it a bit easier for thermal 1915 01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:51,800 Speaker 16: plant like that to run. At the moment, you try 1916 01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:55,439 Speaker 16: building a coal fired POWERstation, try getting a gas, getting 1917 01:27:55,520 --> 01:27:56,160 Speaker 16: some more gas. 1918 01:27:56,720 --> 01:27:57,160 Speaker 15: Things like that. 1919 01:27:57,360 --> 01:27:59,920 Speaker 16: The RMA and the planning rules make it very hard. 1920 01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:02,000 Speaker 16: So then what happens is you say, why isn't the 1921 01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:05,040 Speaker 16: market working? Well, actually, I think it's the beehive because 1922 01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:08,800 Speaker 16: you've taken away coal gas, You've made consenting renewables and 1923 01:28:08,840 --> 01:28:11,320 Speaker 16: everything else extremely hard. And we're still saying, well, why 1924 01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:14,360 Speaker 16: why is the market struggling to deal with the winter? Well, 1925 01:28:14,400 --> 01:28:16,920 Speaker 16: actually it's because of the rules that sit around the market, 1926 01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:17,400 Speaker 16: not the market. 1927 01:28:17,880 --> 01:28:20,840 Speaker 2: Read tape strikes again. Hey, thank you Fraser, it's been 1928 01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:22,400 Speaker 2: wonderful to talk to you. I really appreciate your time. 1929 01:28:22,439 --> 01:28:25,439 Speaker 2: That's Fraser winter Row, former Mercury Energy chief executive form 1930 01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:28,040 Speaker 2: of Finterror COO.

I mean, like, 1939 01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:45,599 Speaker 2: come on, if you're now starting to price coal at 1940 01:28:45,640 --> 01:28:47,439 Speaker 2: the gap price of gas, and then you're given carve 1941 01:28:47,479 --> 01:28:50,720 Speaker 2: outs to various industries, you're not including various sectors and 1942 01:28:51,080 --> 01:28:53,680 Speaker 2: certain businesses are paying kind of discount where there's full 1943 01:28:53,720 --> 01:28:55,360 Speaker 2: of holes, isn't it just get rid of the thing. 1944 01:28:55,479 --> 01:28:58,600 Speaker 2: What's the point this is?

Thorndon Newell posted very early this morning 1970 01:30:03,040 --> 01:30:04,560 Speaker 2: for some reason that they had the last of the 1971 01:30:04,680 --> 01:30:08,120 Speaker 2: cast iron Braisers and the medium Bakers, so people had 1972 01:30:08,160 --> 01:30:11,000 Speaker 2: to come in and redeem theirs now, so they posted 1973 01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:14,519 Speaker 2: that first thing morning. By ten thirty, the cast Iron 1974 01:30:14,560 --> 01:30:17,759 Speaker 2: Braisers had sold out. A reporter went there from Parliament 1975 01:30:17,840 --> 01:30:19,800 Speaker 2: because you know, they don't have a lot to do 1976 01:30:19,880 --> 01:30:22,599 Speaker 2: in recess, they just sit around. So the reporter headed 1977 01:30:22,680 --> 01:30:25,400 Speaker 2: over there and said that the shoppers were lining up 1978 01:30:25,520 --> 01:30:28,120 Speaker 2: behind the New World staff member as he was unpacking 1979 01:30:28,160 --> 01:30:30,400 Speaker 2: a box of smeag products at the checkout, because that's 1980 01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:32,240 Speaker 2: what you want with your life. Ah, when you pull 1981 01:30:32,320 --> 01:30:34,439 Speaker 2: out a box and you start unpacking it and you 1982 01:30:34,600 --> 01:30:36,840 Speaker 2: just want a line of people there standing and waiting 1983 01:30:36,920 --> 01:30:39,559 Speaker 2: and watching you. Honestly, that must have been the pits 1984 01:30:39,560 --> 01:30:42,439 Speaker 2: of his life. Right then. Almost every second customer at 1985 01:30:42,479 --> 01:30:44,400 Speaker 2: the shop had one of the Smeg products apparently, and 1986 01:30:44,479 --> 01:30:46,960 Speaker 2: it wasn't just the brazer that sold out, it was 1987 01:30:46,960 --> 01:30:50,960 Speaker 2: also the large bakers and the Smeg many cock cots, 1988 01:30:51,720 --> 01:30:56,560 Speaker 2: Pty got haa cock coots.

It's a thing quarter to. 1991 01:31:02,160 --> 01:31:04,920 Speaker 3: Everything FROMMS to the big corporates. 1992 01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:08,679 Speaker 1: The Business Hour with Hither Dup c Ellen and MES 1993 01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:11,960 Speaker 1: for Trusted Home Insurance Solutions, News Talks ENV. 1994 01:31:12,840 --> 01:31:15,880 Speaker 2: When I was a kid, well when I was about 1995 01:31:15,920 --> 01:31:17,880 Speaker 2: twenty years younger than I am right now, there was 1996 01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:20,599 Speaker 2: a character in Wellington called Don McDonald, who is still 1997 01:31:20,640 --> 01:31:22,680 Speaker 2: in Wellington, came up with a fascinating idea which I'm 1998 01:31:22,680 --> 01:31:25,639 Speaker 2: going to run you through before the end of this program. 1999 01:31:25,800 --> 01:31:29,400 Speaker 2: Thirteen away from seven and Gavin Gray UK correspondents with us. Hello, Gevin, 2000 01:31:30,520 --> 01:31:32,839 Speaker 2: Hi there right, So what are these rules around migrants 2001 01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:35,200 Speaker 2: that we're expecting now, Heather? 2002 01:31:35,320 --> 01:31:37,479 Speaker 13: It just seems, doesn't it. Every week the government is 2003 01:31:37,520 --> 01:31:40,400 Speaker 13: coming out with a new announcement. They're definitely feeling the 2004 01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:44,800 Speaker 13: upstart party of Reform UK breathing down their throats and 2005 01:31:44,880 --> 01:31:48,240 Speaker 13: they're definitely beginning to sense that migration is going to 2006 01:31:48,280 --> 01:31:51,960 Speaker 13: be a key topic whenever the next general election comes. 2007 01:31:52,040 --> 01:31:54,519 Speaker 13: So today the government is going to announce that they 2008 01:31:54,560 --> 01:31:59,120 Speaker 13: are going to tighten the criteria for family members to 2009 01:32:00,120 --> 01:32:04,240 Speaker 13: join any migrant granted asylum. This is something incidentally, which 2010 01:32:04,360 --> 01:32:07,040 Speaker 13: Reform UK has been talking about for some time that 2011 01:32:07,160 --> 01:32:10,960 Speaker 13: the that the details are just two lacks, so it's 2012 01:32:11,040 --> 01:32:13,800 Speaker 13: quite likely that they're going to toughen up those criteria, 2013 01:32:13,960 --> 01:32:18,120 Speaker 13: including tougher English language standards and access to sufficient funds 2014 01:32:18,760 --> 01:32:20,880 Speaker 13: and also outline reform. 2015 01:32:24,560 --> 01:32:25,519 Speaker 2: Given. Are you with us? 2016 01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:28,080 Speaker 8: You are reasons? 2017 01:32:28,640 --> 01:32:29,000 Speaker 2: Carry on? 2018 01:32:30,880 --> 01:32:31,640 Speaker 3: Just that's right. 2019 01:32:31,760 --> 01:32:35,799 Speaker 12: So sometimes these reform. 2020 01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:41,479 Speaker 13: Simples to the asylum application decisions are pretty odd. 2021 01:32:41,680 --> 01:32:47,320 Speaker 2: And I'm sorry to do this, but your line is 2022 01:32:47,439 --> 01:32:48,880 Speaker 2: so dodgy, and do you want to see if you 2023 01:32:48,920 --> 01:32:52,120 Speaker 2: can fix this quickly for us? Just there's some There 2024 01:32:52,200 --> 01:32:54,599 Speaker 2: was definitely the robots getting involved, there wasn't it, hey 2025 01:32:54,720 --> 01:32:56,640 Speaker 2: quickly while he's while we're just trying to fix that 2026 01:32:56,760 --> 01:32:59,120 Speaker 2: up really quickly. What about this one? There's a chap 2027 01:32:59,160 --> 01:33:02,679 Speaker 2: in Australia album specifically who was looking for his misplaced 2028 01:33:02,760 --> 01:33:05,960 Speaker 2: passport at home. He found his passport eventually, but who 2029 01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:08,000 Speaker 2: also found a whole bunch of lotto tickets when he 2030 01:33:08,040 --> 01:33:10,240 Speaker 2: found his passport. So he took them down, as you 2031 01:33:10,240 --> 01:33:11,680 Speaker 2: always should do when you find a whole bunch of 2032 01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:14,320 Speaker 2: lotter tickets, got them all scanned. One of them was 2033 01:33:14,439 --> 01:33:19,599 Speaker 2: worth Australia one million dollars. Bought it for drawl draw 2034 01:33:19,720 --> 01:33:22,840 Speaker 2: in December twenty seven last year. Two hundred and forty 2035 01:33:23,080 --> 01:33:26,439 Speaker 2: four days later he cashed it in one million bucks. 2036 01:33:26,800 --> 01:33:28,519 Speaker 2: Find your ticket, go and scan it. Gaven to you 2037 01:33:28,640 --> 01:33:29,200 Speaker 2: with us again. 2038 01:33:30,240 --> 01:33:32,240 Speaker 13: I am indeed, I hope that's better having oh so 2039 01:33:32,360 --> 01:33:32,760 Speaker 13: much better. 2040 01:33:32,800 --> 01:33:34,759 Speaker 2: Thank you for doing that, Kevin. Listen, So what happened 2041 01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:35,519 Speaker 2: with Queen Camilla? 2042 01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:39,560 Speaker 13: Yeah, so we now are being told, according to a 2043 01:33:39,720 --> 01:33:42,880 Speaker 13: new role book that's come out, not being denied incidentally 2044 01:33:43,000 --> 01:33:45,320 Speaker 13: by any of the Riyals, that Queen Camilla was the 2045 01:33:45,400 --> 01:33:49,240 Speaker 13: victim of an attempted indecent assault as a teenager. She 2046 01:33:49,439 --> 01:33:52,639 Speaker 13: fought off her attacker using the heel of her shoe. 2047 01:33:52,880 --> 01:33:55,439 Speaker 13: It's being reported now this was when the Queen was 2048 01:33:55,520 --> 01:33:58,760 Speaker 13: sixteen or seventeen years old, and it happened on a 2049 01:33:58,880 --> 01:34:01,160 Speaker 13: train in the way to pay Addington station in the 2050 01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:04,080 Speaker 13: west of London. The man is reported to have been 2051 01:34:04,160 --> 01:34:08,160 Speaker 13: touching the teenager and then then as Camilla shanned when 2052 01:34:08,200 --> 01:34:10,240 Speaker 13: she simply took her shoe off and hit it with him. 2053 01:34:11,280 --> 01:34:14,280 Speaker 13: We have never had this confirm from her, and it 2054 01:34:14,400 --> 01:34:16,120 Speaker 13: said that she doesn't want to make a big thing 2055 01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:18,000 Speaker 13: of it because she doesn't want a tract from some 2056 01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:20,600 Speaker 13: of the work that she does around domestic violence, and 2057 01:34:20,960 --> 01:34:23,040 Speaker 13: you know, saying that she wasn't really a victim sort 2058 01:34:23,040 --> 01:34:24,840 Speaker 13: of thing. But yeah, first time we'd ever heard this 2059 01:34:24,960 --> 01:34:28,800 Speaker 13: story come out. It's reported that she first told Boris 2060 01:34:28,880 --> 01:34:31,200 Speaker 13: Johnson when he was Mayor of London about it. It's 2061 01:34:31,200 --> 01:34:33,200 Speaker 13: sort of kept quiet and then it's sort of surfaced 2062 01:34:33,240 --> 01:34:33,960 Speaker 13: in this new book. 2063 01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:36,320 Speaker 2: But what I mean this seems to me the kind 2064 01:34:36,360 --> 01:34:38,920 Speaker 2: of thing that this humanizes a royal and it also 2065 01:34:39,240 --> 01:34:41,639 Speaker 2: you know, empowers women, So why would they keep it secret? 2066 01:34:42,960 --> 01:34:44,760 Speaker 13: Yeah, I just think it's that thing about this isn't 2067 01:34:44,800 --> 01:34:47,360 Speaker 13: about me. It's not about my personal past because I'm 2068 01:34:47,479 --> 01:34:50,400 Speaker 13: very privileged. It's about other people. And she feels very 2069 01:34:50,479 --> 01:34:54,200 Speaker 13: strongly about the support being needed for domestic violence victims. 2070 01:34:54,560 --> 01:34:56,920 Speaker 13: And I suppose by talking about this herself, You're right, 2071 01:34:56,960 --> 01:34:59,679 Speaker 13: it's a double edged sword. What people think, Oh, she's 2072 01:34:59,680 --> 01:35:02,360 Speaker 13: always on about herself, poor Camello. You know, we'll hardly 2073 01:35:02,439 --> 01:35:05,680 Speaker 13: poor Camello and others will think, well, yeah, there we go. 2074 01:35:05,800 --> 01:35:07,880 Speaker 13: It just goes to show that she's been attacked as well, 2075 01:35:08,120 --> 01:35:11,160 Speaker 13: and certainly I think they will help the royal family 2076 01:35:11,200 --> 01:35:14,840 Speaker 13: will hope that this kind of story does actually destigmatize 2077 01:35:15,479 --> 01:35:18,600 Speaker 13: past help for too many young girls suffering things that 2078 01:35:18,680 --> 01:35:19,720 Speaker 13: they did a few years ago. 2079 01:35:19,960 --> 01:35:21,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, a very good point that you make, Gevin. Thank you, 2080 01:35:22,080 --> 01:35:23,360 Speaker 2: thank you for that and thanks for coming back on 2081 01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:25,800 Speaker 2: the line for us.

I was 2097 01:36:07,880 --> 01:36:09,599 Speaker 2: in my twenties, I was working for TV and said 2098 01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:11,560 Speaker 2: I was on Telly. I wasn't growing up when I 2099 01:36:11,760 --> 01:36:14,880 Speaker 2: was working for TV and Z and Wellington, Donald would 2100 01:36:14,880 --> 01:36:18,080 Speaker 2: invariably call after six o'clock to tell us what he 2101 01:36:18,200 --> 01:36:22,440 Speaker 2: thought about the bulletin, and it was always an interesting conversation. 2102 01:36:23,320 --> 01:36:25,720 Speaker 2: Donald is running for mayor for the third time and 2103 01:36:25,840 --> 01:36:28,160 Speaker 2: he's come up with an interesting idea that he has 2104 01:36:28,240 --> 01:36:30,880 Speaker 2: pitched out there. So what he wants is that every month. 2105 01:36:31,120 --> 01:36:34,839 Speaker 2: I mean, this is big stuff. Donal Donald is expanding 2106 01:36:34,880 --> 01:36:37,479 Speaker 2: the remit of the Wellington mayor here. He would like 2107 01:36:37,600 --> 01:36:39,800 Speaker 2: every month, he would like to rewrite our calendar. He 2108 01:36:39,800 --> 01:36:42,000 Speaker 2: would like every month of the year to have five weeks, 2109 01:36:42,600 --> 01:36:44,680 Speaker 2: and then he would like to get rid of Thursdays 2110 01:36:46,200 --> 01:36:48,400 Speaker 2: so that every week we'll only have six days. Now 2111 01:36:48,439 --> 01:36:50,840 Speaker 2: there will be a reason for this mathematically that Donna 2112 01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:53,160 Speaker 2: has worked out that six days five days a week, 2113 01:36:53,160 --> 01:36:55,680 Speaker 2: because then you get thirty day months, right, so you 2114 01:36:55,800 --> 01:36:57,720 Speaker 2: see what it is, and then every month is thirty days. 2115 01:36:57,760 --> 01:36:59,519 Speaker 2: It's like a lot more ordered because he doesn't like 2116 01:36:59,600 --> 01:37:03,559 Speaker 2: disorder anyway. They've gone to Diane Calvert, who's also running 2117 01:37:03,560 --> 01:37:04,880 Speaker 2: for me, and asked you and she was like, yeah, 2118 01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:07,080 Speaker 2: I'm down with that because thursdays of the day that 2119 01:37:07,120 --> 01:37:08,960 Speaker 2: the council meets, so I'm happy to get rid of it, 2120 01:37:09,640 --> 01:37:12,439 Speaker 2: which I thought was good call from her. However, because 2121 01:37:12,439 --> 01:37:14,479 Speaker 2: I'm not on Wellington Council, if I had to get 2122 01:37:14,600 --> 01:37:16,600 Speaker 2: rid of a day of the week, it would be 2123 01:37:16,640 --> 01:37:19,679 Speaker 2: a Wednesday, wouldn't it, because that's hump Day and everybody 2124 01:37:19,720 --> 01:37:20,719 Speaker 2: hates it, don't they ants? 2125 01:37:20,880 --> 01:37:22,680 Speaker 15: Monday? Absolutely, Monday would go. 2126 01:37:22,880 --> 01:37:23,200 Speaker 6: It would go. 2127 01:37:23,400 --> 01:37:25,360 Speaker 15: I would not even miss it. I think the first 2128 01:37:25,439 --> 01:37:27,560 Speaker 15: day back after the weekend always sucks, and Monday's the 2129 01:37:27,560 --> 01:37:28,479 Speaker 15: first day back after the weekend. 2130 01:37:28,520 --> 01:37:29,799 Speaker 2: I still have to come back on a Tuesday. 2131 01:37:29,800 --> 01:37:32,160 Speaker 15: It was still still yeah, I know, but at least 2132 01:37:32,160 --> 01:37:34,280 Speaker 15: it wouldn't be Monday. You know, at least you're still 2133 01:37:34,400 --> 01:37:35,639 Speaker 15: like three days close to the weekend. 2134 01:37:35,840 --> 01:37:36,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. 2135 01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:38,160 Speaker 2: I just think it makes it easier.
