1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 1: International correspondence with ends in Eye Insurance Peace of Mind 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business. 3 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 2: Marryol's was a correspondent with that. 4 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 1: Say, no, God, I either I tell you who likes 5 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,960 Speaker 1: talking to Taylor Swiftlan That would be her back manager. 6 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: Oh what bit I? 7 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 2: Because you know, regardless of what's billions, you can't criticize 8 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 2: the woman's ability to make a coin that takes a 9 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:22,599 Speaker 2: special talent, doesn't it. 10 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 1: Now? 11 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 2: Okay, what's Susan Lay's argument about Palestine. 12 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: Well, it's it's kind of like it's a bit specious. 13 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: And you know I say that, and you know I'm 14 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: a labor voter. It just seems a bit odd because 15 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 1: it's been coalition policy for years, for like for since 16 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: John Howard for over twenty years, that there has to 17 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: be a two state solution. Yes, okay, but when when 18 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,599 Speaker 1: it's never going to be early enough for Israel. I mean, 19 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, late enough for Israel. Israel doesn't certainly under 20 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: Benjamin Yah. So Susan Lee says it's premature. She's also 21 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: I've just got some quotes here. Susan Li says Albanezi 22 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: has gone early and he's out of his depth. Scott Morrison, 23 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: former Prime minister. It's a hollow gesture. Josh Friedenberg at 24 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: one point astraight as leading Jewish politician. He of course 25 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: was tipped to be the prime minister after Scott Morris 26 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: until he lost his seat. He says, it's i logical 27 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: because you're rewarding a terrorist organization that committed everyone acknowledges 28 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: the most egregious, horrendous crime on October seven. There's no 29 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: disputing that. But as Petty Woger said, and the clip 30 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: you're played, when do you start to change the narrative 31 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: because it's not going to change anytime soon unless you do. 32 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: And David Little Proud Weird, the National's leader. You're giving 33 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: dessert to the children before vegetables, which, given the state 34 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: of the food supply and gaza properly is a little. 35 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 2: Bit So do they not have a point though, ms 36 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 2: Because the state of Palestine has been put forward as 37 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 2: a solution to the food crisis at the moment, how 38 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 2: does that fix what's going on right now? Surely the 39 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 2: solution to the food crisis is more aid, not a 40 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 2: state of Palestine. 41 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: You're getting more aid in of course, yeah, but Israel 42 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: is resisting that, right I mean, yeah, isn't Israel resisting 43 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: that the Israeli US food distribution plan that's been in 44 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 1: place with what three months or more, that's just not working. 45 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: And you know, of course we dispute the figures Hamas 46 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: figures according to the people who support Israel, all the 47 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,959 Speaker 1: figures about dead children, dead mums. You know, there's a 48 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: stat came out today. You may have seen this, I'm 49 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: sure you have. In fact, unic says there's a classroom 50 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 1: of Palestinian kids getting killed every day, and that just 51 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: is you can't. I mean, Israel's losing the pr war. 52 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: There are millions of friends of Israel and Australia. I 53 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: bet there are in New Zealand, but hell's bells. When 54 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: you look at what's happening there, you just say, well, 55 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: when's it going to be right? You know what I mean? Yeah, 56 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: it's a tough question here. I'll tell you what I think. 57 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 2: We all feel pretty helpless watching this happen. Now, how 58 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 2: are you feeling about that RBA cut? 59 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 1: That's pretty good, yeah, but widely expected. I mean, you 60 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: know a third of Australians have a mortgage, a third rent, 61 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,679 Speaker 1: and a third own their own places. So the Reserve Bank. 62 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 1: It did cut interest rates today five of one percent, 63 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: so down to three point six percent for the official 64 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: cash rate the Australian dollar. Anticipated that it was sixty 65 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: five and changed sixty five point two the decision back 66 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: in July they kept the rate on hold. Are the 67 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: interest rate on hold and that despite a different inflation 68 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: and evidence that job's growth was slowing significantly, and it 69 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: did so. Look right now today inflation appears to be 70 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: under control. The jobless numbers are rising, you know, modestly, 71 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: it must be said. And some people even were saying 72 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: there could be a cut of point three five percent 73 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: down to three and a half, and a lot of 74 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: people saying, can you just make it even please three 75 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: and a half three point twenty five three because those 76 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: of us who are mathematically challenged it look sufficed to say. 77 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: He's a very, very able woman, Michelle Bullock. She is 78 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: the boss of the Reserve Bank of Australia. And at 79 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: about forty five minutes time, she'll be standing up. Unusually, 80 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: this didn't happen until her reign, and she'll be holding 81 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: a full on news conference to explain exactly what's happened 82 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: and the reasons behind it. 83 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 2: Brilliant stuff. Mars, thank you so much.
