It's sitting up a new 54 00:02:23,573 --> 00:02:27,133 Speaker 4: base in Wellington to what they say, strengthening andhassets at 55 00:02:27,213 --> 00:02:30,173 Speaker 4: Hunt Hants. Rather its cooperation with a key five eyes 56 00:02:30,213 --> 00:02:33,213 Speaker 4: partner in the Southwestern Pacific region. It has excited the 57 00:02:33,252 --> 00:02:35,452 Speaker 4: imaginations of a lot of kiwis. But here's a little 58 00:02:35,493 --> 00:02:38,452 Speaker 4: bit of what Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation 59 00:02:38,573 --> 00:02:40,373 Speaker 4: Cash Battel said after the announcement. 60 00:02:40,493 --> 00:02:43,373 Speaker 7: Some of the most important global issues of our times 61 00:02:43,453 --> 00:02:45,853 Speaker 7: are the ones that New Zealand and America work on't together, 62 00:02:46,373 --> 00:02:49,813 Speaker 7: countering the CCP in the endope comp theater, countering the 63 00:02:49,893 --> 00:02:54,773 Speaker 7: narcotics tree, working against cyber intrusions and ransomware operations, and 64 00:02:54,853 --> 00:02:58,493 Speaker 7: most importantly, protecting our respective citizenry here in New Zealand, 65 00:02:58,733 --> 00:03:01,853 Speaker 7: at home in America and across the world. We cannot 66 00:03:01,893 --> 00:03:04,133 Speaker 7: do that without our partners here in New Zealand. 67 00:03:04,613 --> 00:03:05,173 Speaker 3: There you go. 68 00:03:05,653 --> 00:03:09,213 Speaker 2: So you know, all of that's sounding like fighting criminals 69 00:03:09,252 --> 00:03:10,532 Speaker 2: except for that. 70 00:03:10,293 --> 00:03:15,093 Speaker 3: One little line there. Those three words, well, countering the CCP. 71 00:03:15,733 --> 00:03:20,173 Speaker 2: Well as an acronym a word. Yeah, you could you 72 00:03:20,213 --> 00:03:23,733 Speaker 2: could argue that that's you know, five anyway, countering the CCP. 73 00:03:24,413 --> 00:03:25,773 Speaker 3: And that's annoyed the Chinese. 74 00:03:25,853 --> 00:03:29,213 Speaker 4: It certainly has, so the embassy. Chinese embassy has hit back, 75 00:03:29,532 --> 00:03:32,013 Speaker 4: saying a topnote of the comments and described them as 76 00:03:32,053 --> 00:03:36,373 Speaker 4: part of a Cold war mentality. They went on to 77 00:03:36,373 --> 00:03:40,533 Speaker 4: say transnational crime is a common challenge encountered by all countries, 78 00:03:41,213 --> 00:03:45,173 Speaker 4: requiring cooperation to tackle it. On the opening of the 79 00:03:45,213 --> 00:03:48,893 Speaker 4: new FBI office in Wellington, that will be part of 80 00:03:49,133 --> 00:03:52,653 Speaker 4: the goal of that opening of the office. But certainly 81 00:03:52,733 --> 00:03:55,933 Speaker 4: the CCPP got a bit sensitive with those. 82 00:03:56,173 --> 00:03:58,373 Speaker 2: Well I the thing is that the FBI have been 83 00:03:58,373 --> 00:04:02,933 Speaker 2: here for a while now they're just increasing the operations 84 00:04:03,133 --> 00:04:06,973 Speaker 2: and so they have been here, they're just more here 85 00:04:07,053 --> 00:04:08,933 Speaker 2: now they're going to be more here. 86 00:04:09,613 --> 00:04:13,133 Speaker 4: They are and you, I mean part of you likes 87 00:04:13,173 --> 00:04:15,573 Speaker 4: this because the FBI, and no doubt about it, and 88 00:04:15,653 --> 00:04:18,093 Speaker 4: presented in movies and TV shows they're bad as people 89 00:04:18,133 --> 00:04:19,013 Speaker 4: who work for the FBI. 90 00:04:19,133 --> 00:04:23,053 Speaker 2: Yeah, Sometimes they're useless, like in die Hard. You want 91 00:04:23,093 --> 00:04:28,093 Speaker 2: a dominicle, I give it the fb I. Sometimes they're useless. 92 00:04:28,093 --> 00:04:32,893 Speaker 2: Sometimes they're involved in conspiracies like the X Files. But 93 00:04:33,053 --> 00:04:34,733 Speaker 2: you know, you can't help you first, As I was 94 00:04:34,773 --> 00:04:37,573 Speaker 2: saying you, star I can't help my first emotions to things. 95 00:04:37,973 --> 00:04:39,813 Speaker 3: And when I hear that the FBO is in town, 96 00:04:39,893 --> 00:04:41,533 Speaker 3: I think that's kind of cool. 97 00:04:41,653 --> 00:04:45,173 Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the FBI up to in New Zealand? An 98 00:04:45,293 --> 00:04:49,173 Speaker 2: FBI officer, But you know, I know it's a lot 99 00:04:49,213 --> 00:04:53,452 Speaker 2: more complicated than that. It's not just Cloudice Starlin turning 100 00:04:53,533 --> 00:04:55,333 Speaker 2: up to investigate serial killers. 101 00:04:55,493 --> 00:04:55,653 Speaker 8: Oh. 102 00:04:55,693 --> 00:04:57,773 Speaker 2: What is interesting about it, of course, is that the 103 00:04:58,093 --> 00:05:02,453 Speaker 2: you know, the the FBI is, you know, it's it's 104 00:05:02,933 --> 00:05:07,453 Speaker 2: a federal law enforcement and domestic intelligence agency. So you know, 105 00:05:07,973 --> 00:05:11,533 Speaker 2: you're not you know, the natural understanding of the FBI 106 00:05:11,933 --> 00:05:13,813 Speaker 2: is that there's police and all the states. That's where 107 00:05:13,853 --> 00:05:15,653 Speaker 2: people try and run on the state line when. 108 00:05:15,493 --> 00:05:16,373 Speaker 3: They've committed a crime. 109 00:05:16,653 --> 00:05:19,973 Speaker 2: But if the crime goes between states, then the FBI 110 00:05:20,173 --> 00:05:23,893 Speaker 2: are the police then investigate that, right, yep. So it's 111 00:05:24,053 --> 00:05:27,973 Speaker 2: interesting that their remit extends to all around the. 112 00:05:27,933 --> 00:05:28,573 Speaker 3: World as well. 113 00:05:28,893 --> 00:05:32,333 Speaker 2: You know, they've had a number of famous operations around 114 00:05:32,333 --> 00:05:32,773 Speaker 2: the world the. 115 00:05:33,013 --> 00:05:34,093 Speaker 3: FBI, haven't they. 116 00:05:34,893 --> 00:05:37,933 Speaker 2: But yeah, it's interesting where the FBI ends and the 117 00:05:37,973 --> 00:05:39,773 Speaker 2: CIA begins and vice versa. 118 00:05:39,813 --> 00:05:40,893 Speaker 6: It is a fascinating world. 119 00:05:40,973 --> 00:05:43,173 Speaker 4: But I've got to say, gut feelers, I feel safer 120 00:05:43,453 --> 00:05:45,733 Speaker 4: with that announcement that they opened up that office there. 121 00:05:45,733 --> 00:05:47,533 Speaker 4: And I say that because, as we know, the FBI 122 00:05:47,853 --> 00:05:51,173 Speaker 4: has a truckload of resources behind them. They've got contacts 123 00:05:51,173 --> 00:05:53,893 Speaker 4: and multiple countries around the world, and they are very 124 00:05:53,973 --> 00:05:57,053 Speaker 4: experienced at dealing with some of the international challenges we're 125 00:05:57,053 --> 00:06:01,773 Speaker 4: facing right now. Drugs, triads, gang members, international cartails.

So Winston said that the part 175 00:08:19,053 --> 00:08:21,133 Speaker 2: about the CCP was never mentioned in the discussions, and 176 00:08:21,173 --> 00:08:24,453 Speaker 2: setting up this office with the FBI caught Collins and 177 00:08:24,533 --> 00:08:26,453 Speaker 2: him by surprise, bastards. 178 00:08:26,613 --> 00:08:27,733 Speaker 3: It does seem odd. 179 00:08:27,533 --> 00:08:30,973 Speaker 2: Though, that the FBI would because the FBI created that audio, 180 00:08:31,013 --> 00:08:33,093 Speaker 2: they filmed it themselves. It wasn't an interview, so it 181 00:08:33,093 --> 00:08:38,093 Speaker 2: was a statement. So it was a mistake, no, crafted, Yeah, 182 00:08:38,253 --> 00:08:41,252 Speaker 2: but it seems unlikely to me that that the New 183 00:08:41,333 --> 00:08:43,333 Speaker 2: Zealand government wouldn't see it before it was released. 184 00:08:43,773 --> 00:08:46,253 Speaker 3: Exactly because it's the sort of a pr thing. 185 00:08:46,293 --> 00:08:49,772 Speaker 2: It's filmed by them to be released to hand over 186 00:08:49,813 --> 00:08:52,252 Speaker 2: the information to the journalists, as opposed to a press conference. 187 00:08:52,372 --> 00:08:52,532 Speaker 9: Right. 188 00:08:52,653 --> 00:08:55,012 Speaker 2: Yeah, you can ask questions, right, and maybe you get 189 00:08:55,012 --> 00:08:56,933 Speaker 2: caught out in questions, but you don't really get caught 190 00:08:56,973 --> 00:08:59,612 Speaker 2: out if you're reading prepared notes and have the ability 191 00:08:59,612 --> 00:09:01,893 Speaker 2: to edit them exactly. And I would have thought, but 192 00:09:01,973 --> 00:09:04,773 Speaker 2: I could be wrong, that that would have been, you know, 193 00:09:04,852 --> 00:09:07,213 Speaker 2: in negotiations with New Zealand, what the statement would be. 194 00:09:07,213 --> 00:09:10,493 Speaker 2: But you know, yeah, but they certainly seem to be 195 00:09:10,653 --> 00:09:12,773 Speaker 2: you know, New Zealand suddenly seems to be distancing themselves 196 00:09:12,773 --> 00:09:15,293 Speaker 2: from that comments in those comments, as you can imagine. 197 00:09:14,933 --> 00:09:17,573 Speaker 4: Oh, one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number 198 00:09:17,612 --> 00:09:20,733 Speaker 4: to call. I've got to say, though, Matt, something like 199 00:09:20,773 --> 00:09:24,013 Speaker 4: setting up a dedicated law enforcement office, even if it 200 00:09:24,053 --> 00:09:26,533 Speaker 4: is the FBI. Actually I'm I'm pleased it's the FBI 201 00:09:26,612 --> 00:09:30,133 Speaker 4: because I think strengthening those ties with America, and I 202 00:09:30,173 --> 00:09:32,013 Speaker 4: know there's been a lot of discussion about that, but 203 00:09:32,093 --> 00:09:35,453 Speaker 4: why wouldn't we why wouldn't we trying to be doing 204 00:09:35,573 --> 00:09:38,293 Speaker 4: more to strengthen ties with a traditional ally And they 205 00:09:38,293 --> 00:09:40,252 Speaker 4: talked a lot about the Five Eyes network that has 206 00:09:40,293 --> 00:09:43,773 Speaker 4: long been a corner point of a strategic partnership with 207 00:09:43,813 --> 00:09:47,773 Speaker 4: New Zealand, Australia, Canada, the UK and America. I just 208 00:09:47,813 --> 00:09:51,573 Speaker 4: don't understand the pushback from some quarters with trying to 209 00:09:51,732 --> 00:09:55,653 Speaker 4: build a bit more strategy and cooperation with the big 210 00:09:55,693 --> 00:09:58,012 Speaker 4: things that are happening in the world with the country 211 00:09:58,012 --> 00:10:00,413 Speaker 4: that we have been allied with for a long long time. 212 00:10:00,693 --> 00:10:00,933 Speaker 10: Yeah. 213 00:10:00,933 --> 00:10:03,533 Speaker 2: I mean there's a type of New Zealand that spends 214 00:10:03,533 --> 00:10:08,453 Speaker 2: a lot of time online that's very, very focused on 215 00:10:08,453 --> 00:10:10,653 Speaker 2: on you know, the back and forth between the two 216 00:10:10,653 --> 00:10:13,693 Speaker 2: sides and the United States that that might might might 217 00:10:13,732 --> 00:10:16,573 Speaker 2: be having co conspiracy theories around. But in the end, 218 00:10:16,773 --> 00:10:20,213 Speaker 2: you know, at at their core, they're a police force, right, Yeah, 219 00:10:20,453 --> 00:10:22,892 Speaker 2: so that's what they are, you know, they're they're the 220 00:10:23,653 --> 00:10:27,172 Speaker 2: Federal brew of Investigation, Federal being the entire country rather 221 00:10:27,213 --> 00:10:30,253 Speaker 2: than the states over there. So that's primarily if you 222 00:10:30,252 --> 00:10:32,013 Speaker 2: take all the conspiracy theories out, their job. 223 00:10:32,252 --> 00:10:32,453 Speaker 10: Right. 224 00:10:33,453 --> 00:10:37,372 Speaker 2: The problem is when they say countering the CCP could 225 00:10:37,453 --> 00:10:38,372 Speaker 2: cause problems. 226 00:10:38,053 --> 00:10:40,772 Speaker 3: For us, because you know, the China's our golden goose. 227 00:10:40,852 --> 00:10:41,053 Speaker 6: Yep. 228 00:10:41,093 --> 00:10:43,693 Speaker 4: It's a fine balance. One hundred and eighty ten eighty 229 00:10:43,852 --> 00:10:44,892 Speaker 4: is the numbered call. 230 00:10:45,053 --> 00:10:47,172 Speaker 2: Hey guys, the FBI opened an office in New Zealand 231 00:10:47,173 --> 00:10:49,852 Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen, So I'm struggling to understand why your 232 00:10:49,933 --> 00:10:51,173 Speaker 2: news team isn't aware of this. 233 00:10:51,252 --> 00:10:51,853 Speaker 3: I think they are. 234 00:10:52,093 --> 00:10:55,373 Speaker 2: There has been a new office opening replacing the old office, 235 00:10:55,372 --> 00:10:57,213 Speaker 2: but the FBI have definitely had an official office in 236 00:10:57,213 --> 00:10:57,892 Speaker 2: New Zealand for. 237 00:10:57,852 --> 00:10:58,852 Speaker 3: The last eight years. 238 00:10:58,852 --> 00:11:02,052 Speaker 2: Just a little research will confirm this publicly available information. Yeah, 239 00:11:02,053 --> 00:11:03,773 Speaker 2: I know if people are saying that, they're I mean 240 00:11:04,573 --> 00:11:08,612 Speaker 2: you said Whenstbury Town is the highest ranking fee still 241 00:11:08,773 --> 00:11:12,093 Speaker 2: in the Trump administration that's been to New Zealand, they're 242 00:11:12,093 --> 00:11:15,732 Speaker 2: coming here. The FBI presence is being increased. 243 00:11:15,852 --> 00:11:16,412 Speaker 6: Absolutely. 244 00:11:16,453 --> 00:11:18,053 Speaker 3: I don't think anyone's saying that there was no FBI 245 00:11:18,173 --> 00:11:22,532 Speaker 3: presence beforehand. Greg, your thoughts on this. 246 00:11:23,813 --> 00:11:25,732 Speaker 11: Yeah, I don't think it's such a big deal. I mean, 247 00:11:25,732 --> 00:11:28,773 Speaker 11: we've had relations with the interpal for how many years, 248 00:11:28,813 --> 00:11:32,612 Speaker 11: We've had relations with the America's Security intelligence you know, 249 00:11:32,693 --> 00:11:36,733 Speaker 11: the CIA and so forth for donkeys years. I don't 250 00:11:36,732 --> 00:11:38,213 Speaker 11: think it's such a big deal. And you would have 251 00:11:38,213 --> 00:11:41,252 Speaker 11: seen that appalling story about Sama or the other night 252 00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:44,333 Speaker 11: about the kids have been traffic for meth and so forth, 253 00:11:44,413 --> 00:11:47,132 Speaker 11: And that's just prolifics down this part of the world. 254 00:11:47,293 --> 00:11:50,772 Speaker 11: Where does it all come from? Originally from China, doesn't it. 255 00:11:50,852 --> 00:11:52,813 Speaker 11: So you know you've got to be worried. And you 256 00:11:52,892 --> 00:11:55,933 Speaker 11: know my thoughts on the continentst Party of China, I've 257 00:11:55,973 --> 00:11:58,612 Speaker 11: expressed those many times before. I wouldn't trust them as 258 00:11:58,612 --> 00:11:59,693 Speaker 11: far as I could kick them. 259 00:12:00,372 --> 00:12:02,333 Speaker 6: But yeah, so. 260 00:12:03,973 --> 00:12:06,532 Speaker 2: Would you have preferred though, that the FBI is here 261 00:12:06,612 --> 00:12:09,252 Speaker 2: and it's and it's working against all those terrible crimes 262 00:12:09,252 --> 00:12:12,093 Speaker 2: and the problems that we have in the Pacific without 263 00:12:12,533 --> 00:12:16,453 Speaker 2: cash pattels, you know, mentioning the CCP because you can 264 00:12:16,612 --> 00:12:19,693 Speaker 2: you can do it without mentioning it. You know, that's diplomacy, right, 265 00:12:19,732 --> 00:12:22,933 Speaker 2: you can come down there. Maybe that's your intention to 266 00:12:23,093 --> 00:12:25,453 Speaker 2: be having a presence down here and looking around at 267 00:12:25,492 --> 00:12:28,333 Speaker 2: what's going on. But do you think it was wise 268 00:12:28,372 --> 00:12:29,813 Speaker 2: for him to mention that? Do you think it was 269 00:12:29,852 --> 00:12:31,133 Speaker 2: pointed for him to mention that? 270 00:12:32,773 --> 00:12:35,012 Speaker 11: Maybe it was that we've been dancing on a pin 271 00:12:35,132 --> 00:12:36,892 Speaker 11: because we're trying to have a barb each. 272 00:12:36,732 --> 00:12:37,333 Speaker 12: Way, aren't we. 273 00:12:37,372 --> 00:12:40,053 Speaker 11: You know, we want to be aligned with the US 274 00:12:40,093 --> 00:12:43,733 Speaker 11: and the traditional allies, and yet we hang around We've 275 00:12:43,732 --> 00:12:45,893 Speaker 11: got this trade deal, which we've got too much in 276 00:12:45,973 --> 00:12:51,693 Speaker 11: hot with China and we've become almost joined at the 277 00:12:51,773 --> 00:12:54,053 Speaker 11: hit with them, you know. I mean people say it's 278 00:12:54,053 --> 00:12:57,413 Speaker 11: great for trade, but you know, they're a pretty awful 279 00:12:57,492 --> 00:13:00,852 Speaker 11: regime and we've we have gotten to bed with Hitler 280 00:13:00,892 --> 00:13:04,013 Speaker 11: and the Nazis before the war over trade. That's the 281 00:13:04,012 --> 00:13:06,653 Speaker 11: way I look at it. I mean I always had 282 00:13:06,773 --> 00:13:08,893 Speaker 11: that look at the poor people of be look at 283 00:13:08,892 --> 00:13:13,372 Speaker 11: the Hong Kong people, the wigas what they've done to them. Yeah, 284 00:13:13,413 --> 00:13:16,532 Speaker 11: I mean, we dance on a pen round it. We 285 00:13:16,732 --> 00:13:19,333 Speaker 11: kind it's the elephant in the room. Everyone knows the 286 00:13:19,533 --> 00:13:22,573 Speaker 11: normal regime I'm not. I'm not talking about the people 287 00:13:22,852 --> 00:13:25,772 Speaker 11: have made a great contribution to this country and they 288 00:13:25,852 --> 00:13:28,093 Speaker 11: haven't always been treated very nicely if you look at 289 00:13:28,132 --> 00:13:29,213 Speaker 11: New Zealand's. 290 00:13:28,773 --> 00:13:33,492 Speaker 3: History talk about yeah, I mean, I mean the problem 291 00:13:33,492 --> 00:13:35,732 Speaker 3: for us, though, Greg, isn't it is that our traditional 292 00:13:35,813 --> 00:13:38,533 Speaker 3: allies don't seem to be as interested in buying as 293 00:13:38,573 --> 00:13:39,412 Speaker 3: much stuff from us. 294 00:13:39,693 --> 00:13:41,213 Speaker 2: You know, it would be great if if you know, 295 00:13:41,252 --> 00:13:43,132 Speaker 2: Australia buys a lot of stuff from us, that's great, 296 00:13:43,533 --> 00:13:45,693 Speaker 2: but we're not getting you know, the UK aren't importing 297 00:13:45,813 --> 00:13:48,693 Speaker 2: a lot, a lot and America is actually America's right 298 00:13:48,732 --> 00:13:49,372 Speaker 2: up there at the moment. 299 00:13:49,453 --> 00:13:52,173 Speaker 3: I think are they second? I think they leap from. 300 00:13:52,012 --> 00:13:54,853 Speaker 6: The they our meat. Canada wasn't too nice to us. 301 00:13:54,933 --> 00:13:58,693 Speaker 2: No, Canada has been terrible to us. But yeah, so 302 00:13:59,333 --> 00:14:02,132 Speaker 2: I mean, what's the solution, Greg, Do we go bankrupt 303 00:14:02,773 --> 00:14:03,532 Speaker 2: for our morals? 304 00:14:03,573 --> 00:14:04,492 Speaker 3: Which is that? 305 00:14:04,533 --> 00:14:06,253 Speaker 2: Do you think that's that that the morals are that 306 00:14:06,333 --> 00:14:09,533 Speaker 2: important that if we think that China's bad operators and 307 00:14:09,653 --> 00:14:12,413 Speaker 2: you know, it'd be hard people to argue that they weren't, 308 00:14:12,413 --> 00:14:15,453 Speaker 2: that they are under a dictatorship, which as a democracy 309 00:14:15,492 --> 00:14:19,093 Speaker 2: we don't tend to agree with. But you know, is 310 00:14:19,133 --> 00:14:23,453 Speaker 2: it is it worth just us, you know, plunging into 311 00:14:23,453 --> 00:14:25,573 Speaker 2: poverty over No. 312 00:14:25,933 --> 00:14:28,253 Speaker 11: It's not. I know we've got to walk a fine line. 313 00:14:28,293 --> 00:14:30,773 Speaker 11: But I think we've got to stand our trade. You know, 314 00:14:30,773 --> 00:14:33,573 Speaker 11: we've gone to trade deal with the bricks and you know, 315 00:14:33,853 --> 00:14:35,893 Speaker 11: the good old days before the EU, it was like 316 00:14:35,973 --> 00:14:38,733 Speaker 11: an open market and those were the great days. Do 317 00:14:38,773 --> 00:14:40,893 Speaker 11: you know we were the seventh richest country in the 318 00:14:40,893 --> 00:14:43,813 Speaker 11: world at one time before we went the problems went 319 00:14:43,893 --> 00:14:46,653 Speaker 11: in with THEREU we've got to get them with people 320 00:14:46,773 --> 00:14:48,693 Speaker 11: like we're trying to get a trade deal with India, 321 00:14:48,973 --> 00:14:51,653 Speaker 11: which would be good. I think we're going to diversify 322 00:14:51,813 --> 00:14:53,813 Speaker 11: quite a bit, and that's that's. 323 00:14:53,573 --> 00:14:54,573 Speaker 13: The thing I think. 324 00:14:54,613 --> 00:14:57,253 Speaker 2: I think we're trying, but maybe we just need to 325 00:14:57,253 --> 00:14:59,173 Speaker 2: try a lot, a lot harder because you know, whoever 326 00:14:59,213 --> 00:15:01,853 Speaker 2: it is, you know, you know, we talk about we 327 00:15:01,853 --> 00:15:05,933 Speaker 2: we we sacrificed a lot in World War Two for 328 00:15:05,933 --> 00:15:08,253 Speaker 2: for the for the English and the for the U. 329 00:15:09,173 --> 00:15:12,213 Speaker 2: And then they so quickly turned around when they joined 330 00:15:12,213 --> 00:15:15,213 Speaker 2: the EU and just said get out, you're done. We're 331 00:15:15,213 --> 00:15:17,973 Speaker 2: over with your New Zealand. So you know, whatever you 332 00:15:18,013 --> 00:15:21,853 Speaker 2: think about certain governments, you just have to diversify because 333 00:15:21,853 --> 00:15:23,693 Speaker 2: you don't know what politically they're going to do because 334 00:15:23,733 --> 00:15:25,133 Speaker 2: you have no say of them. You know, they've got 335 00:15:25,173 --> 00:15:29,293 Speaker 2: their own governments and their own goals. So diversification, whether 336 00:15:29,413 --> 00:15:32,053 Speaker 2: whether China's bad or not, diversification is probably a good thing. 337 00:15:32,093 --> 00:15:36,373 Speaker 11: Great.

Jared, I know you covered 535 00:25:15,133 --> 00:25:17,893 Speaker 4: this extensively. It was called Operation Trojan Shield and for 536 00:25:17,973 --> 00:25:22,813 Speaker 4: those who may not remember, that was the ANOM system 537 00:25:22,853 --> 00:25:25,293 Speaker 4: that was set up. But that was an example of 538 00:25:25,413 --> 00:25:28,973 Speaker 4: cooperation not just with US, but other jurisdictions around the world, 539 00:25:29,093 --> 00:25:30,213 Speaker 4: right with the FBI. 540 00:25:31,613 --> 00:25:31,973 Speaker 13: Correct. 541 00:25:32,013 --> 00:25:36,373 Speaker 12: So that was a huge global operation led by the 542 00:25:36,453 --> 00:25:39,693 Speaker 12: FBI and the Australian Federal Police it's the AFP. 543 00:25:39,893 --> 00:25:40,733 Speaker 13: And so what they. 544 00:25:40,773 --> 00:25:43,613 Speaker 12: Did was, you know, organized crime groups around the world 545 00:25:43,853 --> 00:25:48,573 Speaker 12: were you know, law enforcement was struggling to intercept their communications. 546 00:25:48,613 --> 00:25:51,613 Speaker 13: Everyone was using sort of dedicated encrypted. 547 00:25:51,213 --> 00:25:56,333 Speaker 12: Devices which were impossible to intercept live and FBI I 548 00:25:56,413 --> 00:25:58,133 Speaker 12: think quite a bit of time for a shut down 549 00:25:58,173 --> 00:26:02,133 Speaker 12: these different sort of technologies. One was called Fantom Secure, 550 00:26:02,453 --> 00:26:06,973 Speaker 12: another one was called sky ECC and as part of 551 00:26:07,013 --> 00:26:12,773 Speaker 12: those ongoing investigations, they actually essentially created a new encryptive 552 00:26:12,813 --> 00:26:17,093 Speaker 12: device themselves, or at platform i should say, which they 553 00:26:17,173 --> 00:26:18,933 Speaker 12: kind of secretly fed. 554 00:26:18,733 --> 00:26:20,613 Speaker 6: Out into the Underworld's brilliant. 555 00:26:20,813 --> 00:26:23,733 Speaker 13: And these guys, yeah, it's brilliant. These guys started using it. 556 00:26:23,773 --> 00:26:28,053 Speaker 12: And you know, this is literally twenty countries around the world, 557 00:26:28,453 --> 00:26:30,813 Speaker 12: thousands of people using it, and they all thought it 558 00:26:30,893 --> 00:26:31,333 Speaker 12: was safe. 559 00:26:31,373 --> 00:26:33,493 Speaker 13: That they're all talking to their buddies. 560 00:26:33,493 --> 00:26:38,373 Speaker 12: Organizing drug deals, organizing hits, organizing money laundering. 561 00:26:39,733 --> 00:26:41,653 Speaker 13: So you know, they all thought it was top secret. 562 00:26:41,693 --> 00:26:44,693 Speaker 13: Nobody knew about it. It was safe. But basically a carbon 563 00:26:44,773 --> 00:26:46,373 Speaker 13: copy of every single. 564 00:26:46,413 --> 00:26:50,933 Speaker 12: Message and photographsent was going to the FBI and they 565 00:26:50,933 --> 00:26:52,373 Speaker 12: were running this for a couple of years. 566 00:26:53,093 --> 00:26:55,013 Speaker 13: It's still going through the court seats. I've got to 567 00:26:55,013 --> 00:26:56,253 Speaker 13: be a wee bit careful, but. 568 00:26:56,813 --> 00:27:00,973 Speaker 12: It's essentially the police here were investigating some of these 569 00:27:01,133 --> 00:27:05,373 Speaker 12: some of these groups independently of the FBI and struggling, 570 00:27:05,533 --> 00:27:07,893 Speaker 12: you know, and really grinding quite hard to gather evidence, 571 00:27:07,973 --> 00:27:11,653 Speaker 12: and then at some point along the line of the 572 00:27:11,733 --> 00:27:14,813 Speaker 12: FBI has called them in for a meeting and said, hey, look, guys, 573 00:27:15,333 --> 00:27:18,293 Speaker 12: you know the guys that you're looking into, Well, here's 574 00:27:18,333 --> 00:27:22,253 Speaker 12: some evidence that you might think is quite useful, and 575 00:27:22,293 --> 00:27:24,773 Speaker 12: that led to a whole bunch of arrest sort of 576 00:27:25,573 --> 00:27:28,973 Speaker 12: middle of twenty twenty one around the world. I think 577 00:27:29,013 --> 00:27:31,013 Speaker 12: something like a thousand or twelve. 578 00:27:30,813 --> 00:27:33,173 Speaker 13: Hundred charges laid here in New Zealand. 579 00:27:33,573 --> 00:27:37,253 Speaker 12: It's huge, and it's an example of the sorts. 580 00:27:37,053 --> 00:27:40,213 Speaker 13: Of cooperation that you know, we can. 581 00:27:40,373 --> 00:27:42,813 Speaker 12: You know that that New Zealand has already been getting 582 00:27:42,813 --> 00:27:46,053 Speaker 12: with the FBI, and I sort of suspect that the 583 00:27:46,133 --> 00:27:49,653 Speaker 12: beefing up on this office will lead to more of 584 00:27:49,693 --> 00:27:50,613 Speaker 12: those kinds of. 585 00:27:51,973 --> 00:27:53,253 Speaker 13: You know, collaboration if you will. 586 00:27:53,333 --> 00:27:55,253 Speaker 3: Yeah, well that was cool, mission impossible style of stuff, 587 00:27:55,293 --> 00:27:58,373 Speaker 3: wasn't it. But so, you know, there's been a lot of. 588 00:27:58,293 --> 00:28:01,413 Speaker 2: Talk about it, and of course cash Mittel said one 589 00:28:01,413 --> 00:28:03,813 Speaker 2: of the reasons they were here was countering the CCP. 590 00:28:04,013 --> 00:28:08,493 Speaker 2: How is how is their position here countering the cc P? 591 00:28:09,373 --> 00:28:12,413 Speaker 2: You know, there's drug syndicates, there's this cyber crime, these 592 00:28:12,453 --> 00:28:17,013 Speaker 2: talks of trafficking and terrible human atrocities happening across the Pacific. 593 00:28:17,093 --> 00:28:19,413 Speaker 2: But what does he mean by countering the CCP. 594 00:28:20,693 --> 00:28:21,853 Speaker 13: Well, I don't. 595 00:28:23,493 --> 00:28:27,853 Speaker 12: No. I imagine that's something that our politicians would not wanted 596 00:28:28,733 --> 00:28:31,453 Speaker 12: to say, given that, you know, China is one of 597 00:28:31,493 --> 00:28:34,693 Speaker 12: our big trade partners that clearly China has a huge 598 00:28:34,893 --> 00:28:39,133 Speaker 12: influence in the Pacific region. Now, US, you know, want 599 00:28:39,133 --> 00:28:42,253 Speaker 12: to maintain those tires of US, and I guess you know, 600 00:28:42,973 --> 00:28:45,733 Speaker 12: from from the New Zealand's perspective, we probably do want 601 00:28:45,813 --> 00:28:50,453 Speaker 12: to know. The main sort of justifications for allowing the 602 00:28:50,493 --> 00:28:53,773 Speaker 12: FBI to operate here is is that transnational organized climes 603 00:28:53,853 --> 00:28:56,453 Speaker 12: up that's where they can help us the most. And 604 00:28:56,653 --> 00:29:01,013 Speaker 12: they probably yeah, anything to do with with the CCP 605 00:29:01,253 --> 00:29:04,533 Speaker 12: is probably something that they would rather hit those discussions 606 00:29:04,533 --> 00:29:08,013 Speaker 12: behind closed doors, I imagine, So maybe something a little 607 00:29:08,013 --> 00:29:10,413 Speaker 12: bit of a plemanic float party. 608 00:29:11,173 --> 00:29:11,973 Speaker 6: Are you like? 609 00:29:12,093 --> 00:29:15,453 Speaker 2: And finally, are you concerned as many people on the 610 00:29:15,453 --> 00:29:18,813 Speaker 2: text machine are about a foreign law enforcement agency. 611 00:29:18,413 --> 00:29:21,373 Speaker 3: Increasing its operations here. Does it in some way undermine 612 00:29:21,413 --> 00:29:23,693 Speaker 3: our domestic law enforcement or do you think it's just 613 00:29:23,733 --> 00:29:25,973 Speaker 3: another great tool to smash the bad guys. 614 00:29:27,413 --> 00:29:30,413 Speaker 12: I'm probably in the ladder, to be honest, and I 615 00:29:30,453 --> 00:29:33,893 Speaker 12: think we've actually had the FBO here for quite quite 616 00:29:33,893 --> 00:29:36,653 Speaker 12: a few years now, sort of in behind the scenes 617 00:29:36,693 --> 00:29:39,253 Speaker 12: on you know, quite a lot of sort of big 618 00:29:39,333 --> 00:29:43,093 Speaker 12: drug operations, but probably we're probably unaware of sort of 619 00:29:43,173 --> 00:29:45,733 Speaker 12: their influence and saying well, hey, guys, you might want 620 00:29:45,773 --> 00:29:47,973 Speaker 12: to We've heard about this shipment coming in. 621 00:29:48,053 --> 00:29:50,013 Speaker 13: You might want to, you might want to get onto it. 622 00:29:50,013 --> 00:29:52,653 Speaker 12: It's probably sort of kept in the in the back, 623 00:29:54,493 --> 00:29:57,413 Speaker 12: in the back of everyone's you know, kept in the dark. 624 00:29:57,453 --> 00:30:00,013 Speaker 13: I suppose this is a. 625 00:29:59,933 --> 00:30:03,053 Speaker 12: Strengthening of that, as long as they are sort of 626 00:30:03,853 --> 00:30:07,013 Speaker 12: getting us to do any sort of dodgy you know, 627 00:30:07,613 --> 00:30:10,373 Speaker 12: black mask stuff over the people's heads and send them. 628 00:30:10,253 --> 00:30:12,773 Speaker 13: Off to a black side.

Just because 679 00:32:07,933 --> 00:32:10,133 Speaker 2: of the conspira theory doesn't mean it's not true very true. Yeah, 680 00:32:10,173 --> 00:32:12,613 Speaker 2: I mean there are conspiracy There's definitely been conspiracies, But 681 00:32:12,613 --> 00:32:15,253 Speaker 2: that's not my point. We watched so many movies and 682 00:32:15,293 --> 00:32:18,613 Speaker 2: when someone broiled with the FBI being put up as 683 00:32:18,613 --> 00:32:21,733 Speaker 2: a certain thing, that we forget that they're a police force. 684 00:32:22,373 --> 00:32:26,973 Speaker 3: You know, they're just a powerful police force, and so 685 00:32:27,133 --> 00:32:29,413 Speaker 3: as this Texas says no different than New Zealand police 686 00:32:30,173 --> 00:32:33,893 Speaker 3: going to other countries, the FBI is here, I mean different, 687 00:32:33,893 --> 00:32:36,693 Speaker 3: and then their resources are much larger than ours. 688 00:32:37,093 --> 00:32:38,293 Speaker 6: And their expertise as well. 689 00:32:38,373 --> 00:32:39,973 Speaker 3: Simon, welcome to the show. You think it's a good 690 00:32:40,013 --> 00:32:42,933 Speaker 3: move having the FBI increased their presence in New Zealand. 691 00:32:43,453 --> 00:32:44,773 Speaker 20: I think it's a great move, Matt. 692 00:32:44,933 --> 00:32:48,133 Speaker 6: Absolutely, And what do you think it's such a good move. 693 00:32:49,173 --> 00:32:52,533 Speaker 20: I think it's another tool in our toolbox for you know, 694 00:32:52,693 --> 00:32:56,053 Speaker 20: crime fighting. I think its strengthens our ties with the 695 00:32:56,093 --> 00:33:00,813 Speaker 20: Americans and I just think it's a it's a good move. 696 00:33:01,213 --> 00:33:04,173 Speaker 3: Are you worried about passing off the CCP at all? Simon? 697 00:33:04,813 --> 00:33:06,413 Speaker 20: Well, when you say that, Matt, what do you mean 698 00:33:06,413 --> 00:33:10,893 Speaker 20: by that? Because I mean the Solomon Island deals yea. 699 00:33:11,093 --> 00:33:14,053 Speaker 20: And you look at the Chinese. 700 00:33:13,453 --> 00:33:15,093 Speaker 21: Frigates off the coast of Australia. 701 00:33:16,693 --> 00:33:19,133 Speaker 20: There's a big fregance of the Chinese and the and 702 00:33:19,213 --> 00:33:22,573 Speaker 20: the islands, and I think it's it's good for us 703 00:33:22,573 --> 00:33:24,093 Speaker 20: to strengthen ties with America. 704 00:33:24,613 --> 00:33:24,813 Speaker 8: Yeah. 705 00:33:24,813 --> 00:33:27,813 Speaker 2: It is interesting because the Chinese that the Chinese ambassador 706 00:33:28,133 --> 00:33:30,213 Speaker 2: released the statement today that sounded like it was written 707 00:33:30,253 --> 00:33:30,733 Speaker 2: by Ai. 708 00:33:30,773 --> 00:33:31,853 Speaker 3: Have you got that there, Tyler. 709 00:33:31,933 --> 00:33:34,053 Speaker 6: I'll find that while we get this discussion. 710 00:33:33,613 --> 00:33:34,693 Speaker 3: It is strongly worded. 711 00:33:34,693 --> 00:33:39,253 Speaker 2: But the Chinese definitely believe in saying, you know, saying 712 00:33:39,293 --> 00:33:42,013 Speaker 2: all the right things in public and telling the truth 713 00:33:42,053 --> 00:33:45,173 Speaker 2: behind the behind doors. Right, Yeah, So whenever you come 714 00:33:45,173 --> 00:33:48,653 Speaker 2: out and say something like, of course, of course America 715 00:33:48,733 --> 00:33:51,013 Speaker 2: is an la of ours, and of course America's interests 716 00:33:51,053 --> 00:33:53,933 Speaker 2: are encountering the CCP, I mean, China knows that that's 717 00:33:53,973 --> 00:33:54,893 Speaker 2: not a surprise to them. 718 00:33:54,933 --> 00:33:56,453 Speaker 3: But what did the ambassador say, Tyler? 719 00:33:56,613 --> 00:33:59,333 Speaker 4: So the line here is transnational crime is a common 720 00:33:59,413 --> 00:34:03,413 Speaker 4: challenge encountered by all countries requiring cooperation to tackle. On 721 00:34:03,453 --> 00:34:05,533 Speaker 4: the opening of a new FBI office in Wellington with 722 00:34:05,573 --> 00:34:09,493 Speaker 4: a permanent legal attache. Because we have taken note of 723 00:34:09,533 --> 00:34:12,212 Speaker 4: the assertions by the American side as well as the 724 00:34:12,333 --> 00:34:15,213 Speaker 4: remarks by relevant New Zealand ministers in response to the media, 725 00:34:15,253 --> 00:34:19,253 Speaker 4: we believe that relevant cooperation should not target any third 726 00:34:19,293 --> 00:34:22,453 Speaker 4: party and we strongly oppose any attempt to make groundless 727 00:34:22,493 --> 00:34:26,813 Speaker 4: assertions or vilification against China out of the Cold War mentality. 728 00:34:26,893 --> 00:34:29,853 Speaker 4: Such acts or against people's will and are doomed to fail. 729 00:34:29,933 --> 00:34:32,213 Speaker 4: They loved exaggerating a few words. 730 00:34:31,973 --> 00:34:33,453 Speaker 6: In that, don't they have the CCP. 731 00:34:33,413 --> 00:34:35,573 Speaker 2: Kind of so many words, it's kind of like no words, 732 00:34:35,613 --> 00:34:37,533 Speaker 2: wouldn't you say, Simon, I'd. 733 00:34:37,413 --> 00:34:41,893 Speaker 20: Say, contradict some of their recent actions. Yeah, in my opinion, 734 00:34:42,653 --> 00:34:46,613 Speaker 20: I also think that it shouldn't interfere with any trade 735 00:34:46,653 --> 00:34:47,453 Speaker 20: relations with China. 736 00:34:47,493 --> 00:34:49,013 Speaker 22: Would you see it that way? 737 00:34:49,333 --> 00:34:51,212 Speaker 2: I mean I would be surprised, That's what I kind 738 00:34:51,213 --> 00:34:53,773 Speaker 2: of mean. None of it's a surprise for them. I 739 00:34:53,813 --> 00:34:56,133 Speaker 2: mean we have already had much closer tized. I mean 740 00:34:56,133 --> 00:34:58,973 Speaker 2: we remember five eyes, so a few more, a few 741 00:34:59,013 --> 00:35:05,213 Speaker 2: more FBI agents messing around Wellington. It surely isn't going 742 00:35:05,253 --> 00:35:06,973 Speaker 2: to change things, but it probably would have been helpful 743 00:35:06,973 --> 00:35:11,333 Speaker 2: if Chris Pattel hadn't said countering the CCP. Having said that, 744 00:35:11,373 --> 00:35:12,733 Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that wasn't an accident. 745 00:35:13,413 --> 00:35:14,693 Speaker 17: He probably shouldn't have said that. 746 00:35:14,813 --> 00:35:17,853 Speaker 20: But I mean if the FBI end up chucking black 747 00:35:18,093 --> 00:35:20,493 Speaker 20: sex over people's heads and taking off at the airport, 748 00:35:20,733 --> 00:35:22,533 Speaker 20: that could be a good thing too, because some people 749 00:35:22,573 --> 00:35:23,813 Speaker 20: probably shouldn't be here, if you know. 750 00:35:23,733 --> 00:35:24,093 Speaker 10: What I mean. 751 00:35:24,213 --> 00:35:26,293 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Well, as long as it's not me or 752 00:35:26,293 --> 00:35:28,413 Speaker 2: my family or you Simon, I don't think. 753 00:35:28,613 --> 00:35:29,493 Speaker 20: I don't think it'll be us. 754 00:35:29,493 --> 00:35:31,773 Speaker 6: For your listening, please take Matt, I'd love to see that. 755 00:35:31,773 --> 00:35:32,813 Speaker 6: That would be fantastic. 756 00:35:33,213 --> 00:35:37,413 Speaker 20: Well, I actually remember the day's voodoo playing a couple 757 00:35:37,413 --> 00:35:39,413 Speaker 20: of nights viewhere they had They actually looked like the 758 00:35:39,493 --> 00:35:42,172 Speaker 20: FBI with his unglasses on late at night. 759 00:35:42,413 --> 00:35:43,133 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's right. 760 00:35:43,173 --> 00:35:43,373 Speaker 10: We did. 761 00:35:43,453 --> 00:35:45,093 Speaker 3: Used to run a bit of a sort of cool 762 00:35:45,173 --> 00:35:46,093 Speaker 3: spookd vibe. 763 00:35:46,133 --> 00:35:47,573 Speaker 20: I don't know how you saw anything, but. 764 00:35:47,853 --> 00:35:48,453 Speaker 10: It looks good. 765 00:35:48,733 --> 00:35:52,133 Speaker 3: No, it didn't need to say anything.

If they are good at fighting drug 778 00:36:25,413 --> 00:36:28,013 Speaker 2: cartel and crime, then how come the US has got 779 00:36:28,013 --> 00:36:29,853 Speaker 2: worse and worse? As far as I'm a weird, China 780 00:36:29,893 --> 00:36:33,172 Speaker 2: has hasn't attacked anyone and we have good trade with him, 781 00:36:33,373 --> 00:36:36,893 Speaker 2: and Foreign Country secret Service should not be present and 782 00:36:36,933 --> 00:36:39,693 Speaker 2: if they do so, should Chinese Secret Service be allowed 783 00:36:39,733 --> 00:36:42,733 Speaker 2: as well?

We don't hear as much 795 00:37:24,293 --> 00:37:25,933 Speaker 2: of their dirty laundry out in the public. 796 00:37:26,013 --> 00:37:27,093 Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, nicely said. 797 00:37:27,133 --> 00:37:29,173 Speaker 4: And to be fair to Judith Collins, before the election, 798 00:37:29,333 --> 00:37:31,813 Speaker 4: she did make a point that it was important that 799 00:37:31,853 --> 00:37:34,973 Speaker 4: we have stronger ties with America. So you know, arguably 800 00:37:35,133 --> 00:37:37,172 Speaker 4: they were voted in as one of those platforms. This 801 00:37:37,213 --> 00:37:39,253 Speaker 4: is a good text. So I was asked out by 802 00:37:39,253 --> 00:37:42,613 Speaker 4: an FBI officer in San Francisco. He left a message 803 00:37:42,653 --> 00:37:44,093 Speaker 4: to call him I'd never met him, but he must 804 00:37:44,093 --> 00:37:45,533 Speaker 4: have seen me when I was hosting a boat at 805 00:37:45,533 --> 00:37:47,613 Speaker 4: a boat show. The message to call him was delivered 806 00:37:47,653 --> 00:37:49,973 Speaker 4: to me on a slip of paper. It was very 807 00:37:50,013 --> 00:37:52,453 Speaker 4: spooky but fascinating at the same time. Pretty sure x 808 00:37:52,493 --> 00:37:55,172 Speaker 4: Hubby wouldn't have been impressed if I'd gone on a date. 809 00:37:55,733 --> 00:37:57,813 Speaker 4: But maybe it was the ex hubby that this chap 810 00:37:57,893 --> 00:37:58,253 Speaker 4: was after. 811 00:37:58,493 --> 00:38:04,093 Speaker 2: So he was using espionage to nab the lady good Man. 812 00:38:04,293 --> 00:38:07,853 Speaker 6: Wow, it didn't quite work in that scenario. But as 813 00:38:08,773 --> 00:38:09,893 Speaker 6: when single three. 814 00:38:10,693 --> 00:38:14,173 Speaker 3: When the FBI slipping notes, was it written in invisible link. 815 00:38:14,093 --> 00:38:15,893 Speaker 6: Some sort of boat show in San Francisco kind of. 816 00:38:15,853 --> 00:38:19,813 Speaker 4: Spy versus situation. Hey, look, if it worked for them, 817 00:38:19,813 --> 00:38:24,293 Speaker 4: I'd say hats off to right a couple more texts 818 00:38:24,333 --> 00:38:26,813 Speaker 4: and then we've got a new topic on the table. 819 00:38:26,653 --> 00:38:28,933 Speaker 2: The sex is I feel safer with an American FBI 820 00:38:29,013 --> 00:38:34,293 Speaker 2: presence than if it was a communist China presence.

We want to have a chat a bit 871 00:40:25,373 --> 00:40:27,973 Speaker 4: the TERRFF situation. So, as we now know, New Zealand 872 00:40:27,973 --> 00:40:30,692 Speaker 4: exports to the US will face a fifteen percent terror 873 00:40:30,773 --> 00:40:33,853 Speaker 4: for right. The White House revealed or revised rather it's 874 00:40:33,933 --> 00:40:36,652 Speaker 4: list of terrrists for particular countries in New Zealand has 875 00:40:36,693 --> 00:40:39,213 Speaker 4: now been put on that fifteen percent base rate, up 876 00:40:39,213 --> 00:40:41,733 Speaker 4: from the original ten percent earlier. So Trade Minister Tom 877 00:40:41,813 --> 00:40:44,813 Speaker 4: McLay he has said that he will attempt to push 878 00:40:44,813 --> 00:40:46,173 Speaker 4: back on that fifteen percent. 879 00:40:46,413 --> 00:40:48,652 Speaker 6: How he will do that? Do that we yet to hear. 880 00:40:48,693 --> 00:40:50,733 Speaker 6: He's got to stand up later this afternoon. 881 00:40:51,133 --> 00:40:53,013 Speaker 2: Yeah, so we were celebrating that was going to be 882 00:40:53,053 --> 00:40:55,413 Speaker 2: ten percent, although there were some feelings that it might 883 00:40:55,453 --> 00:40:57,213 Speaker 2: be fifteen percent. But when you look at it in 884 00:40:57,333 --> 00:41:00,053 Speaker 2: raw terms, that's another one hundred and forty four hundred 885 00:41:00,053 --> 00:41:02,933 Speaker 2: and fifty million dollars we've got to find. You know, 886 00:41:02,973 --> 00:41:06,253 Speaker 2: it was around a billion dealing with a ten percent tariff, 887 00:41:06,333 --> 00:41:10,212 Speaker 2: So that's significant for a country that it's struggling economically. 888 00:41:10,573 --> 00:41:12,212 Speaker 2: You know, the only thing that's making us any money 889 00:41:12,253 --> 00:41:16,172 Speaker 2: at the moment is farmers. And you know, as much 890 00:41:16,213 --> 00:41:19,293 Speaker 2: as the US wants our beef, a fifteen percent tariffs 891 00:41:19,293 --> 00:41:20,733 Speaker 2: is not good. But what leverage do we have to 892 00:41:20,773 --> 00:41:24,573 Speaker 2: push back? And as everyone's been saying, Australia got a 893 00:41:24,613 --> 00:41:27,213 Speaker 2: ten percent tariff, why did Australia get a ten percent 894 00:41:27,253 --> 00:41:29,253 Speaker 2: tariff and we get a fifteen percent tariff? 895 00:41:29,493 --> 00:41:29,653 Speaker 8: You know? 896 00:41:29,693 --> 00:41:31,933 Speaker 3: And how serious is all this for exports? 897 00:41:32,093 --> 00:41:32,293 Speaker 13: Yeah? 898 00:41:32,573 --> 00:41:34,733 Speaker 3: So o E one hundred and eighty ten eighty. 899 00:41:34,893 --> 00:41:37,253 Speaker 4: If you're in the export business, we'd love to hear 900 00:41:37,253 --> 00:41:39,573 Speaker 4: from you. How do you feel about this extra five percent? 901 00:41:40,293 --> 00:41:42,573 Speaker 4: Are you worried about it?

I've got to say, Tom 903 00:41:44,893 --> 00:41:47,533 Speaker 4: McClay did expect it might be fifteen percent.

And when we sort of rebranded 974 00:44:42,133 --> 00:44:44,213 Speaker 23: relaunch or launch, do not distir, we thought, right in 975 00:44:44,213 --> 00:44:46,773 Speaker 23: the USA, it's our market. We're going to market, we're 976 00:44:46,813 --> 00:44:49,732 Speaker 23: going to target to grow.

So when knew at some point 984 00:45:12,293 --> 00:45:15,652 Speaker 23: that mister Trump was going to probably stop that from 985 00:45:15,693 --> 00:45:18,333 Speaker 23: New Zealand and other countries sending their duty free, and 986 00:45:18,373 --> 00:45:20,813 Speaker 23: he's actually made that decision from the end of August, 987 00:45:20,893 --> 00:45:22,573 Speaker 23: so all of a sudden, it's going bang, we're going 988 00:45:22,613 --> 00:45:27,013 Speaker 23: to be it's charged fifteen percent on top of anything 989 00:45:27,013 --> 00:45:30,373 Speaker 23: that goes across the border direct to the consumer or 990 00:45:30,373 --> 00:45:33,293 Speaker 23: the customer. And it also gets really complex and how 991 00:45:33,373 --> 00:45:35,773 Speaker 23: we pay that, how we document. 992 00:45:35,773 --> 00:45:37,413 Speaker 3: At what point is that paid that. 993 00:45:39,173 --> 00:45:41,013 Speaker 23: From the best of my knowledge, we've been lucky up 994 00:45:41,013 --> 00:45:43,733 Speaker 23: till now. We haven't had to pay anything. It happens 995 00:45:43,773 --> 00:45:47,373 Speaker 23: at the border. But when you use shipping international f 996 00:45:47,453 --> 00:45:51,053 Speaker 23: right comanies like FedEx and DHL and ended posts, you 997 00:45:51,093 --> 00:45:54,613 Speaker 23: can prepay, you can pay as you can sign your order, 998 00:45:54,773 --> 00:45:58,133 Speaker 23: or you can actually shopify the clever website platform. You 999 00:45:58,133 --> 00:46:00,413 Speaker 23: can actually have it so that the client pays at 1000 00:46:00,413 --> 00:46:02,212 Speaker 23: the other end of the customer and they know that 1001 00:46:02,533 --> 00:46:05,053 Speaker 23: when they're looking to buy, and they're like, Okay, they've 1002 00:46:05,093 --> 00:46:07,053 Speaker 23: got to pay the tariff, but you've just got to 1003 00:46:07,053 --> 00:46:10,013 Speaker 23: make it very very clear what that tariff is. And 1004 00:46:10,053 --> 00:46:12,453 Speaker 23: then they would get an email when the when the 1005 00:46:12,493 --> 00:46:14,813 Speaker 23: product crosses the border or hit the you know lands 1006 00:46:14,813 --> 00:46:17,773 Speaker 23: and customs there, they give an emails and UoS, you know, 1007 00:46:17,933 --> 00:46:19,973 Speaker 23: fifty dollars on a whatever, it's going to be a 1008 00:46:20,013 --> 00:46:23,773 Speaker 23: five hundred dollars order. Can't calculate while I'm driving, like 1009 00:46:23,853 --> 00:46:26,613 Speaker 23: pull over and have an app but no, it's it's 1010 00:46:26,733 --> 00:46:29,333 Speaker 23: it's from fifteen percent adds like our average order value 1011 00:46:29,333 --> 00:46:31,373 Speaker 23: to the States would be two one hundred and fifty 1012 00:46:31,373 --> 00:46:34,573 Speaker 23: three hundred US dollars, So it adds, you know, forty 1013 00:46:34,573 --> 00:46:36,573 Speaker 23: five dollars to that order, and. 1014 00:46:37,213 --> 00:46:41,013 Speaker 3: Will you have the leeway to charge the American customer 1015 00:46:41,413 --> 00:46:42,853 Speaker 3: more or will you have to wear that? 1016 00:46:44,133 --> 00:46:46,253 Speaker 23: So we're going to test that. I mean, I believe 1017 00:46:46,413 --> 00:46:51,053 Speaker 23: they will pay it because currently the USA customers don't 1018 00:46:51,133 --> 00:46:53,933 Speaker 23: usually activate the you know, the good old subscribe now 1019 00:46:54,013 --> 00:46:56,692 Speaker 23: save ten percent fifteen percent discounts that everyone does when 1020 00:46:56,693 --> 00:47:00,053 Speaker 23: you buy online. The USA customers don't do that. They 1021 00:47:00,053 --> 00:47:04,013 Speaker 23: pay full retail, which is great. And we also people 1022 00:47:04,013 --> 00:47:06,973 Speaker 23: know this. We don't have to pay GST on export orders, 1023 00:47:07,133 --> 00:47:09,813 Speaker 23: so if someone spends two hundred US, we don't have 1024 00:47:09,853 --> 00:47:13,693 Speaker 23: to pay fifteen percent of that is GST back to 1025 00:47:13,733 --> 00:47:18,013 Speaker 23: the New Zealand government and we usually use that to 1026 00:47:18,093 --> 00:47:20,413 Speaker 23: offset the cost of shipping because the cost of shipping 1027 00:47:20,453 --> 00:47:23,493 Speaker 23: right state is ridiculous. So you don't want to scare 1028 00:47:23,533 --> 00:47:25,613 Speaker 23: your customer way by saying, hey, to buy these do 1029 00:47:25,733 --> 00:47:28,973 Speaker 23: not deserve wall pillows. That's one hundred and fifty dollars freight, 1030 00:47:30,413 --> 00:47:32,533 Speaker 23: so you're kind of charging forty dollars freight, and then 1031 00:47:32,533 --> 00:47:34,413 Speaker 23: you use some of the GST to pay the difference. 1032 00:47:34,453 --> 00:47:37,212 Speaker 23: And anyway, it's all of a complex, but for us, 1033 00:47:37,253 --> 00:47:40,613 Speaker 23: we know that we're making a high performing sleep product 1034 00:47:40,653 --> 00:47:43,333 Speaker 23: from natural materials that's premium. You can't get it anywhere 1035 00:47:43,373 --> 00:47:45,733 Speaker 23: else in the world. No one else has the quality 1036 00:47:45,733 --> 00:47:47,973 Speaker 23: of wall that we source from Wise Wall, So we 1037 00:47:48,093 --> 00:47:52,293 Speaker 23: believe they will still they'll pay the extra fifteen percent 1038 00:47:52,293 --> 00:47:54,053 Speaker 23: because they will want the best all the type of 1039 00:47:54,253 --> 00:47:58,933 Speaker 23: customer that we're targeting will want the best product, so 1040 00:47:58,973 --> 00:48:01,373 Speaker 23: they'll pay that little bit more. We might have to 1041 00:48:01,373 --> 00:48:03,733 Speaker 23: give up some margin. My concern more is that the 1042 00:48:03,773 --> 00:48:07,252 Speaker 23: border changes and the paperwork requirements and all that gets 1043 00:48:07,293 --> 00:48:10,893 Speaker 23: a lot more complex, time wasting or time consuming. 1044 00:48:11,653 --> 00:48:14,693 Speaker 2: And does the exchange rate help. I mean, the exchange 1045 00:48:14,733 --> 00:48:16,813 Speaker 2: rate is already helping you to a certain extent, but 1046 00:48:17,293 --> 00:48:19,653 Speaker 2: that's sort of from an American perspective. 1047 00:48:20,973 --> 00:48:24,013 Speaker 23: That definitely does help. When we do a market research 1048 00:48:24,013 --> 00:48:25,533 Speaker 23: there and you know, what they might pay for an 1049 00:48:25,573 --> 00:48:29,013 Speaker 23: American made, American wall pillow ours is actually the same 1050 00:48:29,053 --> 00:48:31,692 Speaker 23: price in the US dollars. It's really cool. So it's 1051 00:48:31,693 --> 00:48:33,252 Speaker 23: just that freight cost. And if we're going to add 1052 00:48:33,253 --> 00:48:37,013 Speaker 23: anything else to it, but the exchange rate can fluctuate, 1053 00:48:37,413 --> 00:48:40,213 Speaker 23: we might have to look at sending palette loads of 1054 00:48:40,253 --> 00:48:44,533 Speaker 23: product over there, and you know, using third party distribution 1055 00:48:44,613 --> 00:48:46,893 Speaker 23: and logistics. But I've looked into that lately and that's 1056 00:48:46,933 --> 00:48:49,493 Speaker 23: all gone crazy because of the rest of the world's 1057 00:48:49,493 --> 00:48:50,333 Speaker 23: trying to do that too. 1058 00:48:50,853 --> 00:48:55,813 Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously, yeah you Tyler Roger. 1059 00:48:57,733 --> 00:48:58,813 Speaker 6: Oh that's me. Yeah, that's right. 1060 00:48:58,813 --> 00:49:01,613 Speaker 4: My name's Roger. Now sorry, now, Chris, this is a 1061 00:49:01,653 --> 00:49:04,173 Speaker 4: great insight, mate. This might be an unfair question, but 1062 00:49:04,373 --> 00:49:06,413 Speaker 4: Todd McClay said he's going to try and push back 1063 00:49:06,413 --> 00:49:10,253 Speaker 4: and negotiate. Have you got any thoughts about how successful 1064 00:49:10,333 --> 00:49:10,893 Speaker 4: that may be? 1065 00:49:13,093 --> 00:49:16,453 Speaker 23: No, I guess the difference between ten and fifteen for 1066 00:49:16,773 --> 00:49:19,652 Speaker 23: us when we're coming from a really small base. We're 1067 00:49:19,653 --> 00:49:22,573 Speaker 23: just a young company, thankfully growing and these tough times 1068 00:49:22,573 --> 00:49:26,253 Speaker 23: a recessiant. It's not a big not a big slice. 1069 00:49:26,613 --> 00:49:28,653 Speaker 23: I understand, you know from the from the big players 1070 00:49:28,653 --> 00:49:31,733 Speaker 23: out there it is, But I would still like it 1071 00:49:31,773 --> 00:49:34,853 Speaker 23: to be ten percent, mainly because our direct competitors like 1072 00:49:34,853 --> 00:49:37,333 Speaker 23: Australia and I think the UK are on ten percent 1073 00:49:37,373 --> 00:49:40,293 Speaker 23: as well, so they ship a lot of wall products 1074 00:49:40,293 --> 00:49:44,733 Speaker 23: from Australia and the UK to the US. So it 1075 00:49:44,733 --> 00:49:47,853 Speaker 23: would be great if we're on the same level playing field. 1076 00:49:48,493 --> 00:49:49,773 Speaker 23: But I think we've just got to we've got to 1077 00:49:49,773 --> 00:49:53,373 Speaker 23: back ourselves known that we've got the best product, better 1078 00:49:53,413 --> 00:49:55,853 Speaker 23: than those competitors, and we're worth it. So now we're 1079 00:49:55,853 --> 00:49:57,893 Speaker 23: actually going to you know, maybe Matt and we have 1080 00:49:57,893 --> 00:49:58,773 Speaker 23: to have a chat off air. 1081 00:49:58,893 --> 00:49:59,053 Speaker 10: Something. 1082 00:49:59,173 --> 00:50:00,853 Speaker 23: Might need you to do some marketing for us in the. 1083 00:50:00,933 --> 00:50:02,933 Speaker 3: US if you can, I'm happy to fly over there 1084 00:50:03,013 --> 00:50:05,253 Speaker 3: for you, and you know, fly the flat. 1085 00:50:05,093 --> 00:50:08,013 Speaker 23: No no, no start up budget, start up budget. 1086 00:50:08,333 --> 00:50:14,893 Speaker 3: You forget about old Roger as well, Ris Roger, Roger's 1087 00:50:14,933 --> 00:50:19,533 Speaker 3: disease as well.

You have to deal with 1092 00:50:28,053 --> 00:50:30,173 Speaker 2: what is put in front of you and as a 1093 00:50:30,293 --> 00:50:33,053 Speaker 2: as a businessman, and am my your attitude on that. 1094 00:50:33,253 --> 00:50:35,333 Speaker 2: But speaking of which, we can't let you go without 1095 00:50:35,333 --> 00:50:35,812 Speaker 2: another plug. 1096 00:50:35,933 --> 00:50:39,013 Speaker 3: So what was your website?

Yeah, we just need to buy 1131 00:52:10,933 --> 00:52:12,133 Speaker 6: some I mengular subs. 1132 00:52:13,293 --> 00:52:16,173 Speaker 2: America looks at the balance of payments and you know 1133 00:52:16,813 --> 00:52:18,573 Speaker 2: it's so close with New Zealand. If we bought a 1134 00:52:18,613 --> 00:52:21,093 Speaker 2: couple of Boeings then we'd probably leave it up. 1135 00:52:21,413 --> 00:52:23,253 Speaker 6: Yeah, we need and we need a few more Boeings. 1136 00:52:24,053 --> 00:52:24,373 Speaker 6: How are you? 1137 00:52:25,413 --> 00:52:27,373 Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm well, guys, how are you very good? 1138 00:52:27,413 --> 00:52:29,013 Speaker 6: And what's your thoughts about the teriffs? 1139 00:52:29,973 --> 00:52:30,172 Speaker 24: Yeah? 1140 00:52:30,213 --> 00:52:33,573 Speaker 10: Okay, So I'm not an exporter, so it's sort of 1141 00:52:33,653 --> 00:52:37,533 Speaker 10: easier for me to say I don't think we will 1142 00:52:37,613 --> 00:52:40,173 Speaker 10: have a huge impact. We should have support that we 1143 00:52:42,893 --> 00:52:47,813 Speaker 10: export premium quality goods, and I'm sure that is the case, 1144 00:52:48,053 --> 00:52:53,413 Speaker 10: and those markets generally won't walk away from those goods. 1145 00:52:54,173 --> 00:52:56,413 Speaker 10: I mean, let's say so they they'd be great products. 1146 00:52:56,453 --> 00:52:59,333 Speaker 10: For the most part. I don't know exactly everything we 1147 00:52:59,493 --> 00:53:02,013 Speaker 10: export to the States. But you know it's going to 1148 00:53:02,053 --> 00:53:06,773 Speaker 10: be the good stuff and people aren't going to quibble over. 1149 00:53:07,973 --> 00:53:09,413 Speaker 10: But I guess a little extra. 1150 00:53:09,573 --> 00:53:11,773 Speaker 2: I guess the problem is to Tim, if Australia is 1151 00:53:12,293 --> 00:53:14,732 Speaker 2: selling some good stuff and we're planning selling some good 1152 00:53:14,733 --> 00:53:16,773 Speaker 2: stuff and they have a choice between the good stuff, 1153 00:53:17,173 --> 00:53:19,053 Speaker 2: aren't they going to go with the ten percent not 1154 00:53:19,133 --> 00:53:19,893 Speaker 2: the fifteen percent? 1155 00:53:20,893 --> 00:53:21,093 Speaker 24: Yeah? 1156 00:53:21,133 --> 00:53:24,772 Speaker 10: It is is probably better, and I'm not just being 1157 00:53:24,813 --> 00:53:27,413 Speaker 10: a dick about that. But you know what would rather 1158 00:53:27,533 --> 00:53:32,013 Speaker 10: have a New Zealand grown piece of beef or an 1159 00:53:32,013 --> 00:53:35,053 Speaker 10: Ausi grown piece of beef out in a dirty, bloody, dusty. 1160 00:53:34,813 --> 00:53:38,613 Speaker 3: Well, if you ask me, Tim, definitely the New Zealand growth.

We need to 1171 00:54:05,213 --> 00:54:08,172 Speaker 10: look at what we can do for America as well. 1172 00:54:09,693 --> 00:54:11,413 Speaker 10: This is what this is all about.

You run a three 1279 00:59:23,493 --> 00:59:27,053 Speaker 2: billion dollar US import export company, so my goodness, you 1280 00:59:27,133 --> 00:59:29,293 Speaker 2: are the absolute perfect person to be talking to. 1281 00:59:31,133 --> 00:59:34,933 Speaker 25: Well, thank you. We export. We load in two hundred 1282 00:59:34,933 --> 00:59:38,093 Speaker 25: and fifty ports and discharge in about two hundred and 1283 00:59:38,133 --> 00:59:41,933 Speaker 25: forty ports around the world in about ninety countries, so 1284 00:59:42,013 --> 00:59:43,813 Speaker 25: I do a little bit of business overseas. 1285 00:59:44,653 --> 00:59:46,013 Speaker 3: Can you answer this question to me? 1286 00:59:46,173 --> 00:59:50,453 Speaker 2: Because we were talking to Chris from Kindface who exports 1287 00:59:50,573 --> 00:59:54,053 Speaker 2: to California, and he said, well to America, and he 1288 00:59:54,173 --> 00:59:57,253 Speaker 2: says that he has to pay the tariff before it leaves. 1289 00:59:57,293 --> 01:00:00,613 Speaker 2: He pays it with FedEx. But other people are saying 1290 01:00:00,653 --> 01:00:03,253 Speaker 2: that the importer pays the tariff. Who pays the tariff? 1291 01:00:03,853 --> 01:00:09,773 Speaker 25: Sean, Well, well, usually the seller has to pay the 1292 01:00:09,893 --> 01:00:13,933 Speaker 25: taroff and then he would increase his prices in the 1293 01:00:14,053 --> 01:00:17,413 Speaker 25: country it was shipped to to recover the tarOf or 1294 01:00:17,533 --> 01:00:22,693 Speaker 25: he eats it, or if it's a specific product that's 1295 01:00:22,813 --> 01:00:29,253 Speaker 25: required for a specific industry, sometimes the buyer will pay up. 1296 01:00:29,693 --> 01:00:32,853 Speaker 25: But if New Zealand's exporting meat and apples, that doesn't 1297 01:00:32,893 --> 01:00:35,013 Speaker 25: really qualify. Anybody can buy apples. 1298 01:00:36,693 --> 01:00:39,893 Speaker 4: So Sean from memory, I think I spoke to you 1299 01:00:40,053 --> 01:00:43,173 Speaker 4: some time ago. But you're being very successful, successful in 1300 01:00:43,213 --> 01:00:45,093 Speaker 4: business for a long time, obviously with the three billion 1301 01:00:45,093 --> 01:00:48,613 Speaker 4: dollar yearis Export Import company. But you were associated with 1302 01:00:48,693 --> 01:00:50,173 Speaker 4: gypsum at one point, is. 1303 01:00:50,173 --> 01:00:53,533 Speaker 25: It right, Yes, well, that is part of my business. 1304 01:00:54,573 --> 01:00:57,013 Speaker 25: You shipped nine million tons of gypsum around the world 1305 01:00:57,053 --> 01:01:01,613 Speaker 25: as part of this company. Oh yes, I think someone 1306 01:01:01,693 --> 01:01:03,533 Speaker 25: in your media called me the gypsum king. 1307 01:01:05,013 --> 01:01:06,933 Speaker 10: Yes, yeah, we still do that. 1308 01:01:07,093 --> 01:01:10,453 Speaker 25: And when we were locked down during COVID, we started 1309 01:01:10,613 --> 01:01:15,333 Speaker 25: Roco Science to have a saliva based test which was 1310 01:01:15,413 --> 01:01:18,693 Speaker 25: non evasive, quicker and more accurate than the government based test. 1311 01:01:18,933 --> 01:01:20,053 Speaker 6: That's right, Yeah, remember that. 1312 01:01:20,413 --> 01:01:24,533 Speaker 25: Yes, your question here is about the fifteen percent tariffs, 1313 01:01:25,213 --> 01:01:28,013 Speaker 25: And frankly, I think New Zealand's lucky to just have 1314 01:01:28,133 --> 01:01:33,093 Speaker 25: a fifteen percent tariff because our President Trump is a 1315 01:01:33,213 --> 01:01:39,013 Speaker 25: transactional president and New Zealand frankly won. Fifty percent of 1316 01:01:39,093 --> 01:01:41,733 Speaker 25: people in the US have no idea where New Zealand is. 1317 01:01:42,253 --> 01:01:44,493 Speaker 25: They think it's an island like the island Man off 1318 01:01:44,573 --> 01:01:51,333 Speaker 25: the coast of Britain. But secondly, New Zealand is difficult 1319 01:01:51,933 --> 01:01:54,813 Speaker 25: in terms of foreign policy. You've kicked out the US 1320 01:01:54,973 --> 01:02:00,613 Speaker 25: Navy under long E decades ago. You're not tough with 1321 01:02:01,533 --> 01:02:05,453 Speaker 25: China for whatever reason. But when you've picked your friends 1322 01:02:05,533 --> 01:02:10,013 Speaker 25: and picked your arguments, it eventually comes fact will haunt you. 1323 01:02:10,133 --> 01:02:12,933 Speaker 25: So I think fifteen percent you're gonna wait with lucky. 1324 01:02:13,813 --> 01:02:16,333 Speaker 2: So you think that is the primary reason why Australia 1325 01:02:17,173 --> 01:02:19,733 Speaker 2: we've got ten percent and we got fifteen percent. 1326 01:02:19,893 --> 01:02:21,133 Speaker 3: Is that they're closer to. 1327 01:02:21,333 --> 01:02:26,613 Speaker 2: America, they're more allied militarily exactly, and buy and actually 1328 01:02:26,653 --> 01:02:28,373 Speaker 2: buy more weapons off America. 1329 01:02:30,173 --> 01:02:33,253 Speaker 25: Well, I'm not saying buying or selling, because you know 1330 01:02:33,373 --> 01:02:38,853 Speaker 25: that's a movable feet. But Australia is always there to 1331 01:02:38,973 --> 01:02:42,493 Speaker 25: support the US against China or support themselves against China 1332 01:02:43,213 --> 01:02:45,653 Speaker 25: and our navy and our armed forces. We have a 1333 01:02:45,693 --> 01:02:49,213 Speaker 25: lot of bases in Australia and in New zel and 1334 01:02:49,253 --> 01:02:51,973 Speaker 25: they still don't let our nuclear ships and so it's 1335 01:02:52,013 --> 01:02:54,893 Speaker 25: a quick pro quo and if you only want to quit, 1336 01:02:55,133 --> 01:02:56,053 Speaker 25: you don't get the pro. 1337 01:02:56,453 --> 01:02:59,133 Speaker 6: Yeah, very honestly said, we're getting a few teas coming. 1338 01:02:59,213 --> 01:03:02,373 Speaker 4: And Shawan that say, part of the reason we've been 1339 01:03:02,453 --> 01:03:05,533 Speaker 4: lumped with the fifteen percent is due to our gest system. 1340 01:03:05,973 --> 01:03:08,013 Speaker 4: Do you think there's any truth to that that the 1341 01:03:08,053 --> 01:03:11,293 Speaker 4: White House looks at our GST system and thinks somehow 1342 01:03:11,413 --> 01:03:14,733 Speaker 4: that is a almost a tax on the goods that 1343 01:03:14,813 --> 01:03:15,573 Speaker 4: come into this country. 1344 01:03:18,213 --> 01:03:22,293 Speaker 25: Well, I'm laughing because that timent is fairly visible. Do 1345 01:03:22,413 --> 01:03:27,613 Speaker 25: you really think there's enough bureaucrats in America to look 1346 01:03:27,693 --> 01:03:31,093 Speaker 25: at every what two hundred and ten countries to see 1347 01:03:31,133 --> 01:03:34,213 Speaker 25: what their internal tax policy is and then base the 1348 01:03:34,293 --> 01:03:34,893 Speaker 25: tariff on that. 1349 01:03:35,213 --> 01:03:36,693 Speaker 6: Yeah, the egos. 1350 01:03:37,093 --> 01:03:39,693 Speaker 25: I'm not saying this is a I'm not saying this 1351 01:03:39,933 --> 01:03:43,853 Speaker 25: is a five minute decision in Washington, but it might 1352 01:03:43,893 --> 01:03:49,773 Speaker 25: have been Healan or Fiji or Bukima Vassel. 1353 01:03:51,973 --> 01:03:54,973 Speaker 6: Yeah, so we got off lucky. 1354 01:03:55,373 --> 01:03:58,453 Speaker 4: Is there any possibility our trade minister will will be 1355 01:03:58,573 --> 01:04:00,133 Speaker 4: able to negotiate or push back on this? 1356 01:04:00,213 --> 01:04:00,733 Speaker 3: Do you think sure? 1357 01:04:02,413 --> 01:04:07,173 Speaker 25: I don't think anyone will answer the telephone. Because let's 1358 01:04:07,213 --> 01:04:12,133 Speaker 25: look back on Trump's first term. He had a really 1359 01:04:12,253 --> 01:04:18,213 Speaker 25: effective ambassador, Scott Brown, where New Zealand was connected. He 1360 01:04:18,373 --> 01:04:22,733 Speaker 25: was doing a lot of things with New Zealand diplomatically, militarily. 1361 01:04:23,493 --> 01:04:27,333 Speaker 25: The ambassador that Biden appointed I don't even know his name, 1362 01:04:27,453 --> 01:04:31,693 Speaker 25: but he was totally ineffective. So New Zealand really isn't 1363 01:04:31,733 --> 01:04:35,893 Speaker 25: represented anywhere in Washington. You've had nobody. 1364 01:04:37,093 --> 01:04:39,533 Speaker 2: Do you think that, you know, the likes of you know, 1365 01:04:40,653 --> 01:04:43,853 Speaker 2: the news out yesterday that cash Pteli FBI director, who's 1366 01:04:43,933 --> 01:04:47,053 Speaker 2: the highest you know, persson in the Trump administration, to 1367 01:04:47,053 --> 01:04:48,373 Speaker 2: come down here. Do you think do you think that 1368 01:04:48,493 --> 01:04:50,373 Speaker 2: would be related at all? Do you think that is 1369 01:04:50,413 --> 01:04:53,533 Speaker 2: a olive branch being extended by New Zealand and the 1370 01:04:53,573 --> 01:04:56,733 Speaker 2: way that you're talking about becoming better friends. 1371 01:04:56,453 --> 01:04:56,853 Speaker 11: With them. 1372 01:04:59,133 --> 01:05:04,973 Speaker 25: Completely separate. I mean they're not even connected. And I 1373 01:05:05,053 --> 01:05:08,253 Speaker 25: think New Zealand has to learn that it's just unconnected. 1374 01:05:08,373 --> 01:05:11,253 Speaker 25: You're not that big for anybody to really pay attention to, 1375 01:05:12,173 --> 01:05:13,093 Speaker 25: which is good and bad. 1376 01:05:14,493 --> 01:05:15,373 Speaker 13: So I think you got the. 1377 01:05:15,493 --> 01:05:18,493 Speaker 25: Average tariff which is the same as europ guy, which 1378 01:05:18,613 --> 01:05:21,293 Speaker 25: is great. And Ure cooperates with US. 1379 01:05:21,213 --> 01:05:23,373 Speaker 3: Militarily, right, so we should be stuck. 1380 01:05:23,533 --> 01:05:28,253 Speaker 25: So I think you're on the coattails of other OECD 1381 01:05:28,413 --> 01:05:30,973 Speaker 25: countries and say, yeah, yeah, give New Zealand fifteen percent. 1382 01:05:31,253 --> 01:05:34,173 Speaker 2: Yeah, and we are a member of five Eyes, so 1383 01:05:34,293 --> 01:05:36,413 Speaker 2: there is you know, there is a foot a foot 1384 01:05:36,453 --> 01:05:36,893 Speaker 2: in that camp. 1385 01:05:37,133 --> 01:05:41,213 Speaker 25: I me're not really a member of five eyes. I mean, 1386 01:05:41,413 --> 01:05:44,493 Speaker 25: if you look at the entire just send of six years, 1387 01:05:45,933 --> 01:05:49,013 Speaker 25: New Zealand wasn't cooperating with five Eyes, and I doubted 1388 01:05:49,213 --> 01:05:52,453 Speaker 25: five eyes. It was more like four and a half eyes. 1389 01:05:52,613 --> 01:05:54,573 Speaker 25: A lot of the good information did not get the. 1390 01:05:54,613 --> 01:05:56,733 Speaker 3: New yum Sean's of usn't trustable. 1391 01:05:56,973 --> 01:05:59,693 Speaker 2: Now, Sean, how is this going to fix your three 1392 01:05:59,813 --> 01:06:03,293 Speaker 2: billion dollar US import export company in and out of 1393 01:06:03,333 --> 01:06:05,693 Speaker 2: New Zealand? Is that you know you think we're lucky 1394 01:06:05,733 --> 01:06:07,733 Speaker 2: to get fifteen percent. Is it going to fet your 1395 01:06:07,733 --> 01:06:08,253 Speaker 2: bottom line? 1396 01:06:10,093 --> 01:06:12,853 Speaker 25: Tariffs don't affect me. I find a way around it. 1397 01:06:13,613 --> 01:06:16,693 Speaker 25: Either the customer pays, or I fell to another country, 1398 01:06:17,453 --> 01:06:21,573 Speaker 25: or I take a lower margin. We're making the mistake 1399 01:06:21,733 --> 01:06:26,693 Speaker 25: here in New Zealand of trying to fight or argue 1400 01:06:26,853 --> 01:06:31,053 Speaker 25: or negotiate with a monolithic government. If New Zealand is 1401 01:06:31,133 --> 01:06:35,413 Speaker 25: selling products, you go to your customer and you solve 1402 01:06:35,493 --> 01:06:41,773 Speaker 25: it commercially. You can rage about the fifteen percent, but 1403 01:06:42,533 --> 01:06:45,693 Speaker 25: talk to the apple buyers, talk to the supermarkets, talk 1404 01:06:45,693 --> 01:06:49,813 Speaker 25: to your distributors, talk to your meatpackers and explain to 1405 01:06:49,973 --> 01:06:54,933 Speaker 25: them why it's worthwhile paying a higher tariff. So maybe 1406 01:06:55,133 --> 01:06:59,573 Speaker 25: New Zealand eats five percent of the tariff and the 1407 01:06:59,653 --> 01:07:05,493 Speaker 25: customer eats ten percent. But it's a fool's gain to 1408 01:07:05,653 --> 01:07:10,053 Speaker 25: negotiate with the US government. We're so small as five 1409 01:07:10,133 --> 01:07:14,853 Speaker 25: million people out of seven billion, nobody cares. So you 1410 01:07:14,973 --> 01:07:16,013 Speaker 25: become commercial. 1411 01:07:16,693 --> 01:07:16,733 Speaker 21: No. 1412 01:07:16,933 --> 01:07:19,893 Speaker 25: New Zealand's looking at this as a socialist country. Oh, 1413 01:07:19,973 --> 01:07:22,533 Speaker 25: we'll just talk to the government. So governments work things out. 1414 01:07:23,533 --> 01:07:25,333 Speaker 25: If you want to make money, you go to the 1415 01:07:25,453 --> 01:07:27,733 Speaker 25: market and sell your product. 1416 01:07:29,773 --> 01:07:30,813 Speaker 6: Yeah, nicely, see you go. 1417 01:07:31,013 --> 01:07:33,413 Speaker 2: Thank you, Sean, thanks so much for talking to us. 1418 01:07:33,573 --> 01:07:35,973 Speaker 2: And yes, you know, it's kind of like a from 1419 01:07:36,013 --> 01:07:39,693 Speaker 2: the big end of it with Sean to cress the 1420 01:07:39,733 --> 01:07:41,453 Speaker 2: small end of it. Both of them are saying basically 1421 01:07:41,573 --> 01:07:43,213 Speaker 2: that the obstacle is the way. 1422 01:07:43,333 --> 01:07:44,013 Speaker 8: This is what it is. 1423 01:07:44,653 --> 01:07:46,493 Speaker 3: You sell to the customer, you find a way through. 1424 01:07:46,853 --> 01:07:49,133 Speaker 3: There's no point in complaining about it. It is what 1425 01:07:49,293 --> 01:07:49,493 Speaker 3: it is. 1426 01:07:49,693 --> 01:07:51,653 Speaker 6: That's what I don't well at business right.

I mean, isn't that the arrogance from us? 1454 01:09:03,133 --> 01:09:03,333 Speaker 13: Yeah? 1455 01:09:03,492 --> 01:09:07,452 Speaker 2: It's main character syndrome for the United States. I mean, 1456 01:09:08,412 --> 01:09:11,572 Speaker 2: are we on the list of negotiations? You know, how 1457 01:09:11,652 --> 01:09:14,133 Speaker 2: much time do they spend compared to how much time 1458 01:09:14,173 --> 01:09:16,732 Speaker 2: they need to spend with the big economies Europe and China. 1459 01:09:17,253 --> 01:09:23,772 Speaker 2: I mean, our entire economy is worth what zero point 1460 01:09:23,973 --> 01:09:25,772 Speaker 2: five of a percent of the time that they spend 1461 01:09:25,812 --> 01:09:28,572 Speaker 2: with China. Thinking about the China situation, I mean, you've 1462 01:09:28,612 --> 01:09:30,812 Speaker 2: just got to play the environment you're in. 1463 01:09:31,452 --> 01:09:33,333 Speaker 6: You've got to play the game and you can't winge 1464 01:09:33,372 --> 01:09:33,692 Speaker 6: about it. 1465 01:09:34,372 --> 01:09:36,732 Speaker 4: That's why Shawn's got a three billion dollar company because 1466 01:09:36,772 --> 01:09:39,333 Speaker 4: of that attitude that yes, I face some challenges and 1467 01:09:39,452 --> 01:09:42,052 Speaker 4: I figure it out, and I negotiate and I pushed 1468 01:09:42,133 --> 01:09:44,213 Speaker 4: through because that is the aim of the game of business. 1469 01:09:44,253 --> 01:09:46,852 Speaker 2: You could be offended you if you said New Zealand's 1470 01:09:46,893 --> 01:09:49,372 Speaker 2: not beautiful, it's crap and everyone here is an a whole. 1471 01:09:50,133 --> 01:09:52,052 Speaker 2: But you can't be offended if you said New Zealand's 1472 01:09:52,053 --> 01:09:56,652 Speaker 2: small because absolutely objectively is a small country. 1473 01:09:57,652 --> 01:09:59,532 Speaker 3: Matt, welcome to the show. Your thoughts on all of this. 1474 01:10:01,173 --> 01:10:04,412 Speaker 22: Yeah, it's all good. Yeah, it is a shame, I've 1475 01:10:04,412 --> 01:10:09,253 Speaker 22: got to say, you know, and a winery and we 1476 01:10:09,452 --> 01:10:12,293 Speaker 22: export probably eighty percent of our product to the US. 1477 01:10:13,412 --> 01:10:16,333 Speaker 22: And wine is different to a lot of other commodities 1478 01:10:16,372 --> 01:10:19,932 Speaker 22: where there's a definite, structured three tier system over there 1479 01:10:19,933 --> 01:10:23,652 Speaker 22: where you you have to have a licensed alcohol importer, 1480 01:10:23,973 --> 01:10:28,492 Speaker 22: a licensed alcohol distributor, and then the retailer. So that 1481 01:10:28,612 --> 01:10:33,133 Speaker 22: fifteen percent turns into or twenty five or thirty percent 1482 01:10:33,213 --> 01:10:34,652 Speaker 22: by the time it gets onto the shelf. 1483 01:10:37,053 --> 01:10:39,812 Speaker 2: And so can you just explain how that that happens? 1484 01:10:39,853 --> 01:10:42,532 Speaker 2: So what each each part of the way through. They 1485 01:10:42,572 --> 01:10:43,493 Speaker 2: take a cattle. 1486 01:10:45,093 --> 01:10:48,173 Speaker 22: Right way through that. Yeah, my invoice price then gets 1487 01:10:48,452 --> 01:10:53,652 Speaker 22: added to, added to, added to, and there's I mean, 1488 01:10:54,973 --> 01:10:57,492 Speaker 22: it's a wine. Is it such a discretionary item that 1489 01:10:57,652 --> 01:11:02,532 Speaker 22: it's not like toilet paper or you know, medical supply, 1490 01:11:02,692 --> 01:11:05,133 Speaker 22: something that somebody has to have it. And they'll look 1491 01:11:05,173 --> 01:11:08,333 Speaker 22: at that, and they'll look at that New Zealand body 1492 01:11:08,412 --> 01:11:10,412 Speaker 22: of seven yon bloc that's just gone up by thirty 1493 01:11:10,452 --> 01:11:13,052 Speaker 22: percent and go and buy something from Chili or South Africa. 1494 01:11:14,253 --> 01:11:15,412 Speaker 6: And that makes a lot of sense, man. 1495 01:11:15,452 --> 01:11:17,372 Speaker 4: But a lot of people have said this hour that 1496 01:11:17,572 --> 01:11:19,612 Speaker 4: we have a premium product here in New Zealand and 1497 01:11:19,612 --> 01:11:21,333 Speaker 4: it's up to us to try and market that and 1498 01:11:21,412 --> 01:11:23,013 Speaker 4: say we've got the best wine in the world and 1499 01:11:23,053 --> 01:11:25,093 Speaker 4: we've got the best meat in the world. What is 1500 01:11:25,133 --> 01:11:27,812 Speaker 4: it like to try and market and get ahead of 1501 01:11:27,893 --> 01:11:30,133 Speaker 4: the competition in a place like America? For you, as 1502 01:11:30,213 --> 01:11:32,933 Speaker 4: as a wine manufacturing as a wine grower, is that 1503 01:11:33,133 --> 01:11:34,852 Speaker 4: very difficult to do to try and stand out. 1504 01:11:35,893 --> 01:11:39,213 Speaker 22: It's very very difficult at the moment because as an 1505 01:11:39,333 --> 01:11:43,213 Speaker 22: industry as a whole, we have dug ourselves into a 1506 01:11:43,293 --> 01:11:47,372 Speaker 22: hole with massive oversupply. There are people trying to just 1507 01:11:47,452 --> 01:11:49,213 Speaker 22: give wine away just to get rid of it. There 1508 01:11:49,253 --> 01:11:52,132 Speaker 22: are people in parts of New Zealand wine growing areas 1509 01:11:53,133 --> 01:11:56,412 Speaker 22: and this is not an exaggeration. They are dumping wine 1510 01:11:56,572 --> 01:11:57,693 Speaker 22: onto paddocks. 1511 01:11:57,333 --> 01:11:57,852 Speaker 9: To get rid of it. 1512 01:11:58,333 --> 01:12:03,253 Speaker 22: So it's hard enough for our particular industry. We're in 1513 01:12:03,333 --> 01:12:08,013 Speaker 22: a huge oversupply situation, so trying to put the price up. 1514 01:12:09,253 --> 01:12:12,333 Speaker 22: South Africa, for instance, of producing extremely good wine at 1515 01:12:12,372 --> 01:12:15,772 Speaker 22: the moment, very comparable to ours in a lot of ways. 1516 01:12:16,812 --> 01:12:19,173 Speaker 22: Their cost of labor and everything is so much lower 1517 01:12:19,213 --> 01:12:20,812 Speaker 22: than ours that they can. 1518 01:12:20,772 --> 01:12:21,412 Speaker 17: Walk all over it. 1519 01:12:21,572 --> 01:12:24,532 Speaker 22: So that's fifteen percent to us. When it gets added 1520 01:12:24,612 --> 01:12:28,772 Speaker 22: on to by a three tier system, it's a big deal. 1521 01:12:28,933 --> 01:12:32,213 Speaker 22: I mean, I've figured out a bit of a way 1522 01:12:32,293 --> 01:12:35,053 Speaker 22: to get around part of it, which I guess some 1523 01:12:35,133 --> 01:12:38,053 Speaker 22: of you knows what irony winery I own. So I'm 1524 01:12:38,093 --> 01:12:41,013 Speaker 22: just going to invoice my customer might distributor less and 1525 01:12:41,093 --> 01:12:45,173 Speaker 22: then send them another invoice for professional services or something 1526 01:12:45,692 --> 01:12:48,133 Speaker 22: and get the tariff lower. I mean, there are ways 1527 01:12:48,173 --> 01:12:49,852 Speaker 22: to play the game, but at the end of the day, 1528 01:12:50,133 --> 01:12:51,173 Speaker 22: someone's still going to pay. 1529 01:12:51,812 --> 01:12:54,173 Speaker 4: They post things into perspective absolutely, Matt, So to go 1530 01:12:54,293 --> 01:12:55,812 Speaker 4: well and all the best to you, right we're gonna 1531 01:12:55,812 --> 01:12:57,692 Speaker 4: play some messages, but when we come back, we're going 1532 01:12:57,732 --> 01:13:00,333 Speaker 4: to have a chance to Felicity Roxburgh, she is the 1533 01:13:00,412 --> 01:13:03,492 Speaker 4: head of the New Zealand International Business Forum, and ask 1534 01:13:03,532 --> 01:13:05,772 Speaker 4: her her thoughts about these tariffs that is coming up. 1535 01:13:05,812 --> 01:13:09,772 Speaker 1: It is ten to three, that affect you and a 1536 01:13:09,812 --> 01:13:12,173 Speaker 1: bit of fun along the way. Mad Heath and Tyler 1537 01:13:12,213 --> 01:13:14,293 Speaker 1: Adams afternoons used talks. 1538 01:13:14,293 --> 01:13:14,612 Speaker 8: They'd be. 1539 01:13:16,612 --> 01:13:18,452 Speaker 6: Very good afternoon. It is eight to three. 1540 01:13:18,532 --> 01:13:21,812 Speaker 4: So how worried should we be about fifteen percent tariffs 1541 01:13:21,812 --> 01:13:24,173 Speaker 4: imposed by the US. To discuss this, we're joined by 1542 01:13:24,213 --> 01:13:27,053 Speaker 4: Felicity Roxborough. She is the executive director of the New 1543 01:13:27,133 --> 01:13:29,372 Speaker 4: Zealand International Business Forum and she's on the. 1544 01:13:29,532 --> 01:13:33,053 Speaker 6: Line right now. Felicity, very very good afternoon to you, 1545 01:13:34,053 --> 01:13:35,013 Speaker 6: hy afternoon. 1546 01:13:35,772 --> 01:13:39,852 Speaker 2: How damaging are these fifteen percent tariffs to our economy? 1547 01:13:39,893 --> 01:13:44,812 Speaker 26: Felicity Yeah, I mean this is a deeply disappointing outcome, 1548 01:13:45,732 --> 01:13:48,452 Speaker 26: there's no two ways about it, and it is damaging 1549 01:13:48,772 --> 01:13:51,412 Speaker 26: to New Zealand. So we've had this sort of so 1550 01:13:51,612 --> 01:13:55,893 Speaker 26: called reciprocal tariff placed on us, but that's quite unjustified 1551 01:13:56,013 --> 01:14:00,492 Speaker 26: because the US enjoys almost terrist free access to New Zealand, 1552 01:14:00,572 --> 01:14:04,492 Speaker 26: so generally plays about zero point eight percent tariff. We're 1553 01:14:04,532 --> 01:14:07,972 Speaker 26: going to have to pay fifteen additional percent in return. 1554 01:14:08,372 --> 01:14:11,012 Speaker 26: Farm are already paying two or three percent, and we've 1555 01:14:11,053 --> 01:14:13,412 Speaker 26: got to add fifteen to that. Some of our exporters 1556 01:14:13,412 --> 01:14:15,932 Speaker 26: already paying that, so that's getting up close to twenty 1557 01:14:15,933 --> 01:14:18,372 Speaker 26: percent in some cases. It's painful, that's for sure. 1558 01:14:18,692 --> 01:14:20,532 Speaker 2: Do we need to move on from the attitude that 1559 01:14:20,572 --> 01:14:24,173 Speaker 2: it's unfair? Maybe it is unfair, but that doesn't really 1560 01:14:24,293 --> 01:14:26,372 Speaker 2: help us. That's the environment we're in. Is the time 1561 01:14:26,452 --> 01:14:29,372 Speaker 2: to just accept things and get on with it. 1562 01:14:31,412 --> 01:14:34,452 Speaker 26: Well, I mean, we're a small country. We benefit from 1563 01:14:34,492 --> 01:14:37,732 Speaker 26: the rules. And when the elephants fight, the grass tramples, 1564 01:14:37,772 --> 01:14:41,013 Speaker 26: you know where the grass. It's really in both our 1565 01:14:41,173 --> 01:14:44,293 Speaker 26: kind of commercial interests and in our sense of fairness 1566 01:14:44,333 --> 01:14:47,572 Speaker 26: that we carry on talking about what us a trade 1567 01:14:47,612 --> 01:14:50,532 Speaker 26: policy wants like to call the international rules based order. 1568 01:14:51,173 --> 01:14:53,532 Speaker 26: But you know, New Zealanders we believe in fairness and 1569 01:14:53,612 --> 01:14:55,692 Speaker 26: we know that when you trade or when you play 1570 01:14:55,732 --> 01:14:58,612 Speaker 26: a game or whatever, that there are rules that you know, 1571 01:14:58,732 --> 01:14:59,173 Speaker 26: we all have. 1572 01:14:59,213 --> 01:14:59,852 Speaker 6: To abide by. 1573 01:15:00,452 --> 01:15:03,492 Speaker 26: And this is this is not certainly not within those rules. 1574 01:15:03,652 --> 01:15:05,133 Speaker 2: But do you think they care? I mean, do you 1575 01:15:05,173 --> 01:15:07,572 Speaker 2: think Todd McLay that the Trade Minister will be able. 1576 01:15:07,452 --> 01:15:08,213 Speaker 3: To get this move. 1577 01:15:10,293 --> 01:15:12,732 Speaker 26: I mean our group thinks that, you know the government 1578 01:15:12,772 --> 01:15:15,852 Speaker 26: should seek to try to re establish a level playing 1579 01:15:15,893 --> 01:15:19,173 Speaker 26: field and he's been saying that this morning, that that's 1580 01:15:19,213 --> 01:15:23,412 Speaker 26: what they'll try to do. But yeah, I mean it 1581 01:15:23,532 --> 01:15:25,372 Speaker 26: does at the moment. The problem is it really does 1582 01:15:25,412 --> 01:15:28,772 Speaker 26: put us at a commercial disadvantage in terms of some 1583 01:15:28,933 --> 01:15:32,092 Speaker 26: of our key partners, you know, so Australia, UK, Chile, 1584 01:15:32,652 --> 01:15:34,612 Speaker 26: and that's where that's where some of the pain is 1585 01:15:34,692 --> 01:15:35,253 Speaker 26: going to come in. 1586 01:15:36,093 --> 01:15:39,213 Speaker 4: What would you say to business owners out there who 1587 01:15:39,213 --> 01:15:41,692 Speaker 4: are going to be facing this, who might be a 1588 01:15:41,732 --> 01:15:45,293 Speaker 4: bit worried. Is there support available to those people if 1589 01:15:45,333 --> 01:15:46,132 Speaker 4: they are a bit concerned. 1590 01:15:47,692 --> 01:15:51,093 Speaker 26: Yeah, I mean I think most businesses that trade with 1591 01:15:51,173 --> 01:15:53,572 Speaker 26: the US have been tracking this for some time, so 1592 01:15:53,692 --> 01:15:57,933 Speaker 26: people have been getting prepared. Although fifteen percent is a 1593 01:15:58,572 --> 01:16:00,652 Speaker 26: it has come as a surprise. I mean many were 1594 01:16:00,692 --> 01:16:04,213 Speaker 26: expecting us to stay on ten percent. There's lots of 1595 01:16:04,372 --> 01:16:09,293 Speaker 26: support I think through other industry bodies, the government. They're 1596 01:16:09,372 --> 01:16:13,293 Speaker 26: running particular training for people. Also, this is the time 1597 01:16:13,333 --> 01:16:15,492 Speaker 26: where people need to go to their contracts. You know, 1598 01:16:15,572 --> 01:16:17,972 Speaker 26: we've all had contracts in the draw in the good 1599 01:16:18,053 --> 01:16:20,973 Speaker 26: times and now some to get them out and have 1600 01:16:21,053 --> 01:16:24,293 Speaker 26: a lot and see who pays what. But eventually the 1601 01:16:24,333 --> 01:16:25,973 Speaker 26: people who are going to pay are going to be 1602 01:16:26,253 --> 01:16:30,372 Speaker 26: the you know, the American consumers that those twists will 1603 01:16:30,412 --> 01:16:33,452 Speaker 26: get passed on to them. So, you know New Zealand's 1604 01:16:33,452 --> 01:16:37,333 Speaker 26: reputation for sort of premium quality products, that's what we 1605 01:16:37,452 --> 01:16:40,932 Speaker 26: have to double down on because by definition, there's going 1606 01:16:40,973 --> 01:16:42,692 Speaker 26: to be a higher price for those products. So we 1607 01:16:42,812 --> 01:16:44,812 Speaker 26: need to make sure that we've got the strategy to 1608 01:16:44,973 --> 01:16:47,213 Speaker 26: kind of target that premium market. 1609 01:16:47,973 --> 01:16:48,652 Speaker 3: Thank you so much. 1610 01:16:49,173 --> 01:16:52,533 Speaker 4: Very interesting.

I certainly did not. 1959 01:32:39,093 --> 01:32:43,253 Speaker 15: But and I think bondness certainly works for the Jason. 1960 01:32:42,973 --> 01:32:45,333 Speaker 28: Stathens and the Bruce Willison of the world. So I 1961 01:32:45,412 --> 01:32:49,053 Speaker 28: don't really agree with the billboard. But I would also 1962 01:32:49,213 --> 01:32:51,973 Speaker 28: just say that if we changed the wording, and if 1963 01:32:52,053 --> 01:32:58,173 Speaker 28: that billboard had said you look way better overweight, said 1964 01:32:58,253 --> 01:33:02,173 Speaker 28: no one ever, and we decided to target obese or 1965 01:33:02,293 --> 01:33:06,692 Speaker 28: overweight people, if we changed that one word, it would 1966 01:33:06,772 --> 01:33:08,132 Speaker 28: never have passed the standards. 1967 01:33:09,213 --> 01:33:11,692 Speaker 3: No, Oddly it wouldn't have, would it. 1968 01:33:12,213 --> 01:33:12,932 Speaker 18: So why. 1969 01:33:14,612 --> 01:33:16,532 Speaker 2: I think we're more okay with hastling mean than we 1970 01:33:16,612 --> 01:33:19,053 Speaker 2: are with harestling. Woman, do you think that's a possibility? 1971 01:33:20,173 --> 01:33:24,732 Speaker 28: Well, basically exists, and being overweight exists as a social 1972 01:33:25,053 --> 01:33:27,093 Speaker 28: construct for both men and women. 1973 01:33:27,213 --> 01:33:29,572 Speaker 3: It's a very good point. I went to women straight away. 1974 01:33:29,812 --> 01:33:30,652 Speaker 3: That was terriful of me. 1975 01:33:31,853 --> 01:33:36,293 Speaker 28: Yeah, that's so, that's that's lovely, that's the conditioned of 1976 01:33:36,372 --> 01:33:37,372 Speaker 28: you to go in that way. 1977 01:33:38,173 --> 01:33:40,093 Speaker 2: I was actually thinking, I was actually thinking of a 1978 01:33:40,133 --> 01:33:43,213 Speaker 2: particular advertising I just saw like there was a Calvin 1979 01:33:43,253 --> 01:33:46,532 Speaker 2: kliinb advertising with an obese woman on it. So I 1980 01:33:46,652 --> 01:33:48,333 Speaker 2: was actually just one popped in my mind. I'm not 1981 01:33:48,372 --> 01:33:51,173 Speaker 2: a horrible misogynistic No, no you're not. 1982 01:33:51,333 --> 01:33:54,692 Speaker 28: But if we had decided to fat shame obese people 1983 01:33:55,213 --> 01:33:57,932 Speaker 28: and change that one word in that billboard, it would 1984 01:33:58,053 --> 01:33:58,932 Speaker 28: never have passed. 1985 01:33:59,093 --> 01:34:01,692 Speaker 8: And so in my view, yeah, it is. 1986 01:34:02,893 --> 01:34:05,253 Speaker 3: It is the meaning do you think it's easier to 1987 01:34:05,772 --> 01:34:09,973 Speaker 3: become thin than it is to become here? Suit? You 1988 01:34:10,053 --> 01:34:10,612 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. 1989 01:34:11,853 --> 01:34:15,133 Speaker 28: I think that that's a very subjective question. I think 1990 01:34:15,253 --> 01:34:19,412 Speaker 28: if you ask a lot of like vast majority of 1991 01:34:20,452 --> 01:34:24,772 Speaker 28: Maori and Pacifica who by nature a heavy set, the 1992 01:34:24,853 --> 01:34:26,812 Speaker 28: answer to that would we know if you ask people 1993 01:34:26,893 --> 01:34:31,092 Speaker 28: in the Chinese population, who by nature are extremely slender, 1994 01:34:31,293 --> 01:34:33,932 Speaker 28: the answer to that would be yes. So I don't 1995 01:34:34,013 --> 01:34:36,812 Speaker 28: think that there's a broad yes or no answer. 1996 01:34:38,053 --> 01:34:39,213 Speaker 17: But I do believe that. 1997 01:34:41,013 --> 01:34:43,772 Speaker 28: That boldness and that sexiness or being attractive as a 1998 01:34:43,853 --> 01:34:46,012 Speaker 28: state of mind rather than a state of hair. 1999 01:34:46,732 --> 01:34:49,213 Speaker 4: I mean, it's an interesting point, Dannielle, But isn't it 2000 01:34:49,452 --> 01:34:51,732 Speaker 4: For a lot of advertising, that sort of message is 2001 01:34:51,772 --> 01:34:54,372 Speaker 4: already implied, whether it is about being bored or whether 2002 01:34:54,452 --> 01:34:56,933 Speaker 4: it is making people feeling bad about being overweight. You know, 2003 01:34:56,973 --> 01:34:59,772 Speaker 4: all the advertising for a z empack, for example. It 2004 01:34:59,893 --> 01:35:02,612 Speaker 4: might be quite cruel to say it, as you just 2005 01:35:02,772 --> 01:35:06,253 Speaker 4: mentioned there, but the underlying intention there is that there 2006 01:35:06,333 --> 01:35:08,812 Speaker 4: is a problem that you're overweight and ozempic can help you. 2007 01:35:09,333 --> 01:35:13,173 Speaker 28: Yeah. But the derogatory thing in that billboard that isn't 2008 01:35:13,333 --> 01:35:16,372 Speaker 28: the first line. It's the second line. It's the said 2009 01:35:16,652 --> 01:35:17,532 Speaker 28: no one ever. 2010 01:35:18,213 --> 01:35:18,452 Speaker 13: Yeah. 2011 01:35:18,612 --> 01:35:20,013 Speaker 28: Yeah, that's damaging. 2012 01:35:20,772 --> 01:35:22,013 Speaker 15: Yeah, that's damaging. 2013 01:35:22,492 --> 01:35:23,612 Speaker 8: It's the wrong people. 2014 01:35:23,853 --> 01:35:26,012 Speaker 28: This is empowering, Yeah, damaging. 2015 01:35:26,293 --> 01:35:28,173 Speaker 2: This is I mean, they're definitely trying to make you 2016 01:35:28,213 --> 01:35:30,013 Speaker 2: feel bad so you buy their product. That's that's what 2017 01:35:30,093 --> 01:35:32,213 Speaker 2: they're trying to do. It's an interesting form of advertising. 2018 01:35:32,492 --> 01:35:32,612 Speaker 28: You know. 2019 01:35:32,732 --> 01:35:35,812 Speaker 2: Sometimes people advertise by you know, they'll sell a car 2020 01:35:35,973 --> 01:35:37,692 Speaker 2: by showing you the lifestyle. You know, you're going to 2021 01:35:37,772 --> 01:35:39,173 Speaker 2: drive out to the country, you go to the beach, 2022 01:35:39,253 --> 01:35:41,532 Speaker 2: you do this thing, and so you associate happiness or 2023 01:35:41,572 --> 01:35:43,932 Speaker 2: positivity with it. This is a type of advertising where 2024 01:35:43,973 --> 01:35:47,093 Speaker 2: it's saying you should feel bad for the way that 2025 01:35:47,213 --> 01:35:47,532 Speaker 2: you look. 2026 01:35:47,572 --> 01:35:50,492 Speaker 3: If you're ball to buy our product, it's good and we. 2027 01:35:50,612 --> 01:35:51,093 Speaker 12: Do do that. 2028 01:35:51,253 --> 01:35:53,492 Speaker 28: We do do that bear based advertising with things like 2029 01:35:53,612 --> 01:35:57,253 Speaker 28: drink driving. Those campaigns work, right, So that would be 2030 01:35:57,293 --> 01:36:01,612 Speaker 28: another example of a socially appropriate campaign based on fear. 2031 01:36:01,812 --> 01:36:03,973 Speaker 3: That's one that I can back on on board with 2032 01:36:04,053 --> 01:36:05,772 Speaker 3: those ones exactly. 2033 01:36:06,213 --> 01:36:08,412 Speaker 28: And so it's not to say that it doesn't have 2034 01:36:08,532 --> 01:36:10,893 Speaker 28: its face, yeah, but it is to say that I 2035 01:36:11,093 --> 01:36:14,692 Speaker 28: believe it doesn't have its place this in this framework. 2036 01:36:14,772 --> 01:36:17,333 Speaker 28: And if you can easily tell that by changing that 2037 01:36:17,492 --> 01:36:21,253 Speaker 28: one word from bold to obese and reading the same 2038 01:36:21,372 --> 01:36:24,093 Speaker 28: sentence and find out what the standards committee would think 2039 01:36:24,133 --> 01:36:25,012 Speaker 28: of that, well. 2040 01:36:24,973 --> 01:36:27,333 Speaker 3: Thank you so much for you call Danielle great point.

I have cut 2260 01:46:45,572 --> 01:46:47,612 Speaker 21: up with a razor in the past, but since I 2261 01:46:47,692 --> 01:46:51,213 Speaker 21: split with Mate's wife, any partner I've had since thinks 2262 01:46:51,253 --> 01:46:54,412 Speaker 21: that makes me look hard, which is hilarious because I've 2263 01:46:54,412 --> 01:46:57,013 Speaker 21: got so many smile lines. I don't know how I 2264 01:46:57,053 --> 01:47:00,652 Speaker 21: could ever look hard. So I just rock the captain stubing, 2265 01:47:00,692 --> 01:47:02,652 Speaker 21: and when it gets about a centimeter long, I feel 2266 01:47:02,772 --> 01:47:03,972 Speaker 21: like a long headed outside. 2267 01:47:04,572 --> 01:47:07,053 Speaker 23: Give it a number one and I carry on. 2268 01:47:07,253 --> 01:47:10,133 Speaker 21: But I've never had I've One of my jokes is 2269 01:47:10,133 --> 01:47:13,213 Speaker 21: I've never had a woman complain about the lack of 2270 01:47:13,293 --> 01:47:15,173 Speaker 21: hair on my head or the amount of it on 2271 01:47:15,293 --> 01:47:20,133 Speaker 21: my back, because that's not what counts. And the men 2272 01:47:20,253 --> 01:47:22,812 Speaker 21: that seem to be concerned about boards, funnily enough, seemed 2273 01:47:22,812 --> 01:47:25,532 Speaker 21: to be the ones that still have it. So I 2274 01:47:25,612 --> 01:47:28,133 Speaker 21: haven't met many insecure men who are bored. 2275 01:47:28,532 --> 01:47:30,053 Speaker 3: Yeah, so good on. 2276 01:47:30,093 --> 01:47:35,253 Speaker 4: Your Andrew very nicely said spot on Andrew.

Iliam 2302 01:48:32,173 --> 01:48:34,452 Speaker 4: Lawson heads into the final race before the mid season 2303 01:48:34,532 --> 01:48:37,732 Speaker 4: break on Monday, the Hungarian Grand Prix and Bordapesz this 2304 01:48:37,893 --> 01:48:40,492 Speaker 4: weekend to chat more about this, we're joined by New 2305 01:48:40,572 --> 01:48:42,572 Speaker 4: Zealand GIRLD sports reporter Alex Powell. 2306 01:48:42,612 --> 01:48:43,573 Speaker 6: Geta Alex. 2307 01:48:45,053 --> 01:48:48,012 Speaker 3: Yeah, Alex giddy, Alexe Ei. 2308 01:48:47,893 --> 01:48:49,333 Speaker 8: There, I am you? 2309 01:48:50,093 --> 01:48:51,012 Speaker 6: I think I am yeah? 2310 01:48:51,093 --> 01:48:51,213 Speaker 8: Yea. 2311 01:48:52,173 --> 01:48:55,133 Speaker 3: So tell us about the Hungarian Not an easy place 2312 01:48:55,173 --> 01:48:56,172 Speaker 3: to pass? I understand. 2313 01:48:56,893 --> 01:48:59,013 Speaker 30: No, It's one of those classic F one tracks that 2314 01:48:59,133 --> 01:49:01,213 Speaker 30: sort of steeped in history. But that means given the 2315 01:49:01,333 --> 01:49:03,692 Speaker 30: modern cars, it is very hard to overtake. And for 2316 01:49:03,812 --> 01:49:07,213 Speaker 30: a guy like Liam Lawson, who himself admits qualifying needs 2317 01:49:07,253 --> 01:49:10,253 Speaker 30: to improve, it's going to be so important comes Sunday 2318 01:49:10,293 --> 01:49:11,133 Speaker 30: into Monday's race. 2319 01:49:11,372 --> 01:49:14,732 Speaker 2: Yeah, they call it the Monaco without Walls? What's would 2320 01:49:14,772 --> 01:49:16,412 Speaker 2: you agree that this is a very pivotal race. I 2321 01:49:16,492 --> 01:49:18,692 Speaker 2: was thinking about this today Liam Lawson, right, because he's 2322 01:49:18,732 --> 01:49:22,092 Speaker 2: been fantastic. I mean, he's been improving over the season. 2323 01:49:22,173 --> 01:49:24,452 Speaker 2: In the last five six races, he's actually been doing 2324 01:49:24,492 --> 01:49:27,612 Speaker 2: better than his teammate Hadja. So if he gets points 2325 01:49:27,812 --> 01:49:30,333 Speaker 2: in this race and Hadja doesn't, he could go into 2326 01:49:30,452 --> 01:49:33,852 Speaker 2: the summer break ahead, which would be huge for him. 2327 01:49:34,572 --> 01:49:36,253 Speaker 30: I think what's the gap. It's about five or six 2328 01:49:36,333 --> 01:49:37,572 Speaker 30: points between lass and. 2329 01:49:38,213 --> 01:49:38,852 Speaker 3: Six, I believe. 2330 01:49:39,492 --> 01:49:41,772 Speaker 30: Yeah, So I think every race at the moment just 2331 01:49:41,853 --> 01:49:44,572 Speaker 30: for where not just where racing balls are at in 2332 01:49:44,612 --> 01:49:47,412 Speaker 30: their battle to finish as the Constructor's Championship as they can, 2333 01:49:47,452 --> 01:49:49,692 Speaker 30: because let's not forget that's where teams make their money 2334 01:49:49,732 --> 01:49:53,253 Speaker 30: and see their priority in that regard. Yes, it's an 2335 01:49:53,253 --> 01:49:54,852 Speaker 30: important race. We' also you're right just to get a 2336 01:49:54,893 --> 01:49:57,293 Speaker 30: bit of momentum with you and finish the first chunk 2337 01:49:57,333 --> 01:49:58,892 Speaker 30: of the season on a really high note. 2338 01:49:59,532 --> 01:50:01,933 Speaker 2: I was actually thinking it's actually pretty important for F 2339 01:50:02,013 --> 01:50:04,093 Speaker 2: one at the moment because they've got this momentum out 2340 01:50:04,133 --> 01:50:06,133 Speaker 2: of the F one movie. It's been a smash it. 2341 01:50:06,213 --> 01:50:09,932 Speaker 2: People would be joining and then last week Silveston was great, 2342 01:50:09,973 --> 01:50:13,213 Speaker 2: but then last week they had the fiasco around you know, 2343 01:50:13,293 --> 01:50:16,213 Speaker 2: the safety car and the delay in starting in the 2344 01:50:16,293 --> 01:50:19,812 Speaker 2: wet so they to keep that audience that have come 2345 01:50:19,893 --> 01:50:22,412 Speaker 2: in that new audience. If one's kind of under a 2346 01:50:22,492 --> 01:50:25,372 Speaker 2: bit of pressure to put on a good race this weekend, 2347 01:50:26,532 --> 01:50:26,852 Speaker 2: I mean. 2348 01:50:26,933 --> 01:50:29,412 Speaker 30: I'd slightly disagree. I think everything if one's doing at 2349 01:50:29,412 --> 01:50:31,652 Speaker 30: the moment is sort of turning to gold. You look 2350 01:50:31,692 --> 01:50:34,372 Speaker 30: at basically where we've been since COVID and the interests 2351 01:50:34,412 --> 01:50:35,933 Speaker 30: is going up and up and up and up. And 2352 01:50:36,333 --> 01:50:37,852 Speaker 30: I was on your show a couple of weeks ago 2353 01:50:37,853 --> 01:50:39,812 Speaker 30: and we spoke about the role that Netflix has played 2354 01:50:39,812 --> 01:50:41,852 Speaker 30: in doing that. But you're right, you do want it 2355 01:50:41,933 --> 01:50:44,932 Speaker 30: to be an entertaining product. We saw in Belgium last 2356 01:50:44,933 --> 01:50:48,572 Speaker 30: week the rain caused a bit of a kerfuffle with 2357 01:50:48,933 --> 01:50:50,492 Speaker 30: how late the start was, and I think there is 2358 01:50:50,532 --> 01:50:52,093 Speaker 30: going to be a bit more rain expected during this 2359 01:50:52,253 --> 01:50:52,812 Speaker 30: race as well. 2360 01:50:53,973 --> 01:50:58,612 Speaker 2: So Max he is staying on with Red Bill, and 2361 01:50:58,933 --> 01:51:00,532 Speaker 2: you know, from a New Zealand perspective, what does that 2362 01:51:00,652 --> 01:51:02,812 Speaker 2: mean for LEM Max has confirmed that it'll be with 2363 01:51:02,933 --> 01:51:04,053 Speaker 2: Red Bull for twenty twenty six. 2364 01:51:04,133 --> 01:51:05,772 Speaker 3: Maxi Stapen, I. 2365 01:51:05,812 --> 01:51:07,852 Speaker 30: Think it sort of doesn't really change too much. It 2366 01:51:07,973 --> 01:51:10,972 Speaker 30: was all going to be very unlikely that Maxistapen did leave. 2367 01:51:11,093 --> 01:51:13,133 Speaker 30: You think of how long he's been at Red Bull 2368 01:51:13,173 --> 01:51:15,333 Speaker 30: and how that team is built around him. Was always 2369 01:51:15,452 --> 01:51:18,093 Speaker 30: going to be a case of, as you know, who 2370 01:51:18,253 --> 01:51:20,573 Speaker 30: was bluffing out of the bestapens or where the Mercedes 2371 01:51:20,692 --> 01:51:23,732 Speaker 30: was so lam Lawson, I think his objective will still 2372 01:51:23,772 --> 01:51:25,572 Speaker 30: be the same. He wants to get back into Red Bull. 2373 01:51:25,612 --> 01:51:27,972 Speaker 30: He's been very open about that. That's where he sees himself. 2374 01:51:28,013 --> 01:51:30,213 Speaker 30: He wants to be in a team competing for wins 2375 01:51:30,253 --> 01:51:31,133 Speaker 30: and for championships. 2376 01:51:32,093 --> 01:51:34,412 Speaker 3: Do you think Max is just sticking around for another year? 2377 01:51:34,612 --> 01:51:37,333 Speaker 2: Will he can check out which is a good car? 2378 01:51:37,452 --> 01:51:39,612 Speaker 2: With all these new regulations coming in, the cars can 2379 01:51:39,692 --> 01:51:41,013 Speaker 2: be very different. No one knows who's going to have 2380 01:51:41,053 --> 01:51:43,253 Speaker 2: the best car, So why wouldn't Max just stick around 2381 01:51:43,253 --> 01:51:45,053 Speaker 2: for another year? And then you know what's a year 2382 01:51:45,093 --> 01:51:48,772 Speaker 2: for maxistappen. He's only twenty seven, you know, stick around 2383 01:51:49,013 --> 01:51:50,933 Speaker 2: and pick the best car that comes out of the 2384 01:51:51,333 --> 01:51:53,132 Speaker 2: changes potentially. 2385 01:51:53,253 --> 01:51:56,173 Speaker 30: Maxis Staphan's always been very open with his intentions and 2386 01:51:56,333 --> 01:51:58,893 Speaker 30: how he sees his formulan career. He brought up his 2387 01:51:59,013 --> 01:52:01,133 Speaker 30: two hundred THREECE last year and he was asked, you 2388 01:52:01,173 --> 01:52:03,012 Speaker 30: think you'll do two hundred more and you said definitely 2389 01:52:03,093 --> 01:52:05,133 Speaker 30: not So I think if he does just take a 2390 01:52:05,173 --> 01:52:06,732 Speaker 30: step away at the end of it all, then comes 2391 01:52:06,812 --> 01:52:08,772 Speaker 30: backward to whatever team he wants, because let's not beig 2392 01:52:08,853 --> 01:52:10,892 Speaker 30: around the bush. Any team would take him. I think 2393 01:52:10,933 --> 01:52:13,532 Speaker 30: that is ultimately him for him to decide, if he 2394 01:52:13,572 --> 01:52:14,772 Speaker 30: hasn't made his mind up already. 2395 01:52:15,652 --> 01:52:18,972 Speaker 3: All right, so win's practice. Just looking at my timing, 2396 01:52:19,133 --> 01:52:23,452 Speaker 3: it's tonight, at what time practice free practice? One should 2397 01:52:23,452 --> 01:52:24,012 Speaker 3: probably notice. 2398 01:52:24,812 --> 01:52:26,532 Speaker 30: It's sort of just for midnight, so you might be 2399 01:52:26,572 --> 01:52:28,892 Speaker 30: a bit busy, Matt, being the Auckland socialite that you are, 2400 01:52:29,452 --> 01:52:31,612 Speaker 30: so practice lanes practice too. We should be up and 2401 01:52:31,772 --> 01:52:33,572 Speaker 30: around four am.
