Nicola Willis and the cast to be interested. 9 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 2: Richard Arnold stateside Timm and Katie after a murray olds 10 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 2: in a very wet New South Wales pasky. Welcome to 11 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 2: the day, seven past six. It's likely, indeed forecast that 12 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 2: this government, if re elected next year, will end its 13 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:39,200 Speaker 2: second term i e. Twenty twenty nine, never having run 14 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 2: a surplus. Now that are the means they spend too 15 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 2: much or they inherited a gargantu and miss. The latter 16 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 2: we know to be a fact that the form is 17 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 2: a bit debatable. In fact, depending on how you measure things, 18 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 2: the fore car surplus and twenty twenty nine is so 19 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 2: thin it might be less than nothing. And that's the 20 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 2: optimistic way of measuring things. The government now favors on 21 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 2: to why that is, the traditional way still has a 22 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 2: three billion dollar hole. By twenty twenty nine, the pay 23 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 2: equity money turns out to be about two and a 24 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 2: half billion a year, which shows you how hopelessly loose 25 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 2: pay equity became. Primary teaching is not a pay equity issue, 26 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,839 Speaker 2: the same way nursing isn't. It's a union pay grab. 27 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 2: The opposition will try and convince you otherwise, but they're wrong. 28 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 2: What we do know is the government found five billion 29 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 2: a year from savings in equity, which is a lot 30 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 2: of money, but money that still allegedly needs spending, hence 31 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 2: the ongoing deficits. The debt to GDP keeps going up. 32 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,839 Speaker 2: It's too high. But under my way of doing things, 33 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 2: the little there was handed out or redistributed yesterday wouldn't 34 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 2: have been. But I suspect the politics of that particular 35 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 2: approach was too much to stomach. But and here is 36 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 2: the issue. A conservative government can only run things in 37 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 2: the red for so long before the public quite rightly 38 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 2: asks whether they actually know what they're doing. Can we 39 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 2: save a freebies for the so called wealthy? Good move? 40 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 2: Best start freebies for wealthy families? Good move? Means testing 41 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 2: wealthy families on jobless teenagers. Common sense. It's done on 42 00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 2: student allowance, depreciation for business assets. Good move encourages people 43 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 2: to spend to take a punt more please. In the end, 44 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 2: it was pretty much a simple document because one, the 45 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 2: government has limited room to move, and two, governments should 46 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 2: not be the home of all good ideas, bum wiping 47 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 2: and problem solving. They should set the mood and clear 48 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 2: the runway. It's a classic center right budget written in 49 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 2: tough times. What they need politically is people to understand 50 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 2: just how tough and to give them leeway and some 51 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 2: patience to ride this out. And as for those who 52 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 2: dug as this hole in the first place, the less 53 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 2: we hear from them, the better. 54 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: News of the world. 55 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 2: In ninety seconds, Yaza came to the streets of Washington 56 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,239 Speaker 2: last night when two Israeli embassy workers got shot dead. 57 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 3: I was walking by. 58 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 4: Guy came up and he shot this young couple. 59 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 5: We heard between ten to fifteen gun shots roughly, I 60 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 5: don't know the exact number, and all of us were 61 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 5: a little bit startled. 62 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 2: Israel's ambassador the people of Israel are resilient people. 63 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 6: The people of the United States of America are resilient people. 64 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 2: Together, we won't be afraid. 65 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 6: Together, we'll stand and we're going to overcome moral depravity. 66 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 2: The ag they. 67 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 7: Walked outside to go home and were gunned down. 68 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 8: That cannot happen in our community. 69 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 7: And this is the day where we all need to 70 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 7: come together, no matter what religion. 71 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 2: We are also sign Trumpet's big beautiful bill has passed 72 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 2: the House.

What do you reckon? 117 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 13: Ah? 118 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 11: Well, obviously there's plenty of bad news, isn't it in 119 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 11: terms of the weaker economy. We at less text are 120 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 11: in you with a delayed surplus to twenty twenty nine, 121 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 11: and you know the rise in debt levels. But let's 122 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 11: look at some of the positives. So yeah, the new 123 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 11: Text incentive scheme deductions of firms of twenty percent of 124 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 11: new esse. It's near the purchased okon, that's great. It's 125 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 11: going to boost economic grave. It's going to cost six 126 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 11: point six billion, but it's going to left GDP by 127 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 11: one percent, wages by one and a half per cent 128 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 11: of allbit over the next twenty years. I think it's 129 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 11: good cause, as the government notes, share business investment raises 130 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 11: the product to the workers lists and drives economic growth, 131 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 11: simple equation, and we need that list and productivity given 132 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 11: we've got one of the lowest rates of it in 133 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 11: the OECD, So I think it's I think only good news. Obviously, 134 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 11: the in terms of ki we saving, you mentioned that 135 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 11: it does add costs, but I think overall it is 136 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 11: a great course. I think it's a net positive. So 137 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 11: we're raising that default minimum to three and a half 138 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 11: percent April next year, and then it's obviously going to 139 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 11: rise towards four percent by twenty twenty eight. And yeah, 140 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 11: yeah they having contributions. Of course, highers are out, but 141 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 11: we've got sixteen seventy year olds in and yeah, I 142 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 11: think overall it's a net positive. Look and if you 143 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 11: look at it, does the only need to obviously look 144 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 11: across the testament and the benefits of your having a 145 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 11: strong superannuation plan. Your Oddi's at eleven and a half percent, 146 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 11: so I'm not going to get there anytime soon, but 147 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 11: it's worked out pretty well there and I think you 148 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 11: know the reality is this, keys are pretty bad savers historically, 149 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 11: so this is a great way to investify wealth. It's 150 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 11: good for first home buyers, it's going to give them 151 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 11: a little helping hand on the ladder, and so I 152 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 11: really like that initiative, and I just think the overall 153 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 11: budget was it didn't build a ter any surprises and 154 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 11: a lot of saying it's not going to have much 155 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 11: bearing on the ABNZ next week and they're all going 156 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 11: to be looking at global factors. I think just sort 157 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 11: of reaffirms, you know, what a tough spot our economy 158 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 11: is in general. So I actually argue it is it 159 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 11: is something the abends that'll. 160 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 14: Be looking at. 161 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly reporting season next week.

She's a pretty flat but up around 175 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 11: fourteen percent year to date, so all their story is 176 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 11: pretty solid. Yeah. At Pharmaceuticals they sell maxages at tablets. 177 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 11: Now the revenues are up six percent turn or eight million. 178 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 11: They're doing really well in Australia. Sales are up seventeen percent, 179 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 11: operating profit they are up to sixty five percent, and 180 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 11: they are the only company in the world to secure 181 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 11: two licensing agreements into China and that's the second largest 182 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 11: farmer market. That's a good story. She is up nearly 183 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 11: four percent. And then of course there is maybe not 184 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 11: such a great name to some some in terms of 185 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 11: my food Bag that actually jumped seven percent following the result. 186 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 11: Earnings of sixteen million were pretty flat active customers as 187 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 11: well as well as revenues, but sales and the second 188 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 11: half up five percent, and they're doing well in the 189 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 11: first eight weeks of the year. Now there's a stock 190 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 11: which has burnt a lot of key we investors and 191 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 11: it's down ninety percent since that float back in twenty 192 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 11: twenty one. It's not going to get back there. So 193 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 11: it's all that sort of looking at the current situation. 194 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 11: But obviously a bit of a lesson was float and 195 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 11: peak conditions. A lot of investors brought into the hype 196 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 11: extrapolated situation, as we know now was only temporary. So 197 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 11: I think you have to say confidence with the stock 198 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 11: is pretty shot. But you know it's actually under three 199 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 11: times earning, so you know the values there it has 200 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 11: been right sized, not going to get back to formal glories. 201 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 11: But yeah, they seem to be doing well at the moment. 202 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 2: Okay, I need some numbers from you, griggles. 203 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 11: Okay, what have we got, Mike, We've got the Dore 204 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 11: is actually up point four percent, as you say, that 205 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 11: big beautiful bill has passed and it's gonna actually increase 206 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 11: the levels as well.

Nick I down point eight percent, 212 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 11: A six two hundred down half percent, Index fifty down 213 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 11: point three percent, twelve sixty sixty two, gold down sixteen 214 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 11: bucks three to two nine eight and ounce oil down 215 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 11: fifty cents sixty one spot zero four. And the currency 216 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 11: is Key is actually weaker across the border, partly on 217 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 11: the budget. So the US this is the Key with 218 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 11: fifty nine and down point six percent against is Traian 219 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 11: dollars with ninety two even.

Now, very very good point. 244 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 2: Speaking of airlines and travel, so in America, and this 245 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 2: is the growing picture. We'll come to the bond market. 246 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 2: The yields the flight to safety out of America at 247 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 2: the moment because of Trump, but airlines are now forecasting 248 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 2: out of America what they're calling a summer of Hell. 249 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 2: They've got the usual issues with plane seats, etc. But 250 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 2: they've also got new issues, which is the pending recession 251 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 2: of the Rizwan. Certainly the sentiment is not the same, 252 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 2: so people's desire to buy tickets. They've got the ongoing 253 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 2: problem with flight delays, and cancelations around air traffic control. 254 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 2: Air traffic control is a major issue in America these days, 255 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 2: leading to all sorts of drama. And then you've got 256 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 2: the business of whether you actually want to go to 257 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 2: America anymore because you might get frisked or have your 258 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 2: phone looked at, or the border seems to be an 259 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 2: increasing problem. Having said that, so that's America meantime. Reported 260 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 2: to this morning that summer travel demand for the Northern 261 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 2: Europe period. There are a lot of people, of course 262 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 2: from this part of the world, in all parts, that 263 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 2: will go to Europe for summer, for July and August, 264 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 2: and that demand is booming. It looks good for summer. 265 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 2: There are capacity constraints already ahead of booking. So Europe good, 266 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 2: America not so good. It is twenty five minutes past 267 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 2: six trending. 268 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: Now quit chemist warehouse, mayhem megasale on. 269 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 2: Now now to the scandal that's gripping IndyCar that we 270 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 2: alluded to yesterday. One of the world's biggest races, the 271 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 2: Indy five hundred, of course, and of course we got 272 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,959 Speaker 2: so many New Zealanders involved. Roger Penske he owns IndyCar. 273 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 2: He owns the Indianapolis five hundred. He owns the Indianapolis 274 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 2: Motor Speedway, so he's the team that Scott McLachlan drives 275 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 2: for now. The scandal is they've got a thing, as 276 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 2: I explained yesterday, called inn the tenuatter now that's designed 277 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 2: to cushion the blode of the car hits a wall. Now, 278 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 2: all the cars have the same attenuator from the same 279 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 2: single source supplier. However, Penske made modifications stuck him in 280 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 2: the Willpower and the Joe New Garden cars. Last year 281 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 2: they cheated too. This was the push to Pass scandal. 282 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 2: It was where software was putting all three of the 283 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 2: cars to give the driver's engine boosts. It's all illegal 284 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 2: and they got pinged on that. So Roger Penske had 285 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 2: to front up yesterday to try and hose it all down. 286 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 6: I'm totally disappointed with the outcome. And when I think 287 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 6: about Team Penske, we really have had an organization failure 288 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 6: two times, not once, but two times, and believe me, 289 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 6: it hurts me in my gut. There's a certain amount 290 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 6: of credibility you have to have. It's integrity individually and 291 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 6: collectively our team and I think we let people down. 292 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 2: You let people down, so he went and seck them 293 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 2: because he blames the people running the team. 294 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 6: Basically, Number one, I can look myself in the mirror 295 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 6: and say I've done the right thing. Obviously we have 296 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 6: not done a good job in the optics for people 297 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 6: outside this and these two violations you would call him 298 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 6: certainly show the fact that I need to be more diligent. 299 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, so what you got is nine attenuators and this 300 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 2: is where got They messed with them. Some of they 301 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 2: messed with some of them they didn't. And that's why 302 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 2: McLaughlin got lucky. His car was cleaned. 303 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 15: Those have been rotated through the cars over the last 304 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 15: fifteen months. We also had newer ones that we bought 305 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 15: and those have been in the same batch. And that's 306 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 15: why you see that McLachlin didn't have an issue with 307 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 15: his car. 308 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 2: Now, the key to remember here is McLaughlin not only 309 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 2: is he lucky, but also him power and new guard. 310 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 2: In other words, the drivers, they aren't cheats, they're not 311 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 2: considered culpable. They didn't have a clue. The people were 312 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 2: doing the business behind the scenes. Now Here was so 313 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 2: much cover off in the budget. The key we say 314 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 2: the thing four percent and four percent. Is that actually 315 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 2: long term solution to a problem and this overall superannuation 316 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 2: thing that we can't afford in ensuing years or does 317 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 2: it simply add cost to business? And given that you 318 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 2: can opt out if you want to, are people going 319 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 2: to start opting out? We'll crunch a few numbers around here, 320 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 2: you say, before you after the news, which is next 321 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 2: here on the make Blonking. 322 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: Setting me agenda and talking the big issues, the Mike 323 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: costing breakfast with Bailey's real estate, your local experts across residential, commercial, 324 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: and rural news togs head be Mike. 325 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 2: Forty five times two hundred and sixty dollars eleven thy 326 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 2: seven hundred, even with compounding interests. That's far shorter than 327 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 2: the sixty six thousand laborers alleging the government is stealing 328 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 2: from Kii Saber for individuals. Tony, good point. But the 329 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 2: mistake you make is believing Labor party when it comes 330 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 2: to economic calculations. Am I right, Mike? And saying, after 331 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 2: all the drama about letting the Mallory Party into the 332 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 2: House to debate it, they didn't even turn up. Yes 333 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 2: you are, Mike, what about the Mallory Party didn't even 334 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 2: show up to the House for the budget. This was 335 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 2: brushed over quickly by most of the media. How is 336 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 2: this acceptable? It's acceptable only if you take them seriously, 337 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 2: which I don't. As Logan Royce famously said, these are 338 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 2: not serious people. Twenty three minutes away from seven Nichola 339 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 2: Wilson in ours time, This Quey Sabers story got the 340 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 2: adjustment yesterday. So what have we got? Minimum contributional increase 341 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 2: from three to four Percently amount the government puts in 342 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 2: will be hard to a maximum of two sixty one 343 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 2: a year means testing. So if you're high income earner 344 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 2: you get nothing superinnuation. Key we Saber expert Jonathan Erickson's 345 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 2: with us on this Jonathan. 346 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 4: Morning Morning, Mike, how thanks very well. 347 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 2: Indeed, thank you. The government's part of the equation, Is 348 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 2: it material for most people or not? 349 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 4: No, it's not. And in that sense, it's a pity 350 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 4: that they're interfering with a system that works really well 351 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 4: as it stands. On the other hand, the fact that 352 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 4: they're taking money away from Kei we Saber to put 353 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 4: into health and education is probably a good thing. But 354 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 4: the key good thing about this is that they're actually 355 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 4: encouraging and making employers contribute in respect of sixteen and 356 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 4: seventeen year olds, which means that younger people can start 357 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 4: contributing and learn. 358 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 2: To say you think that's material. 359 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 4: Yes, I do. In the sense it encourages people to 360 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 4: start saving earlier, because that is what they should be 361 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 4: trying to do for the rest of their lives until 362 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 4: they retire. But in terms of you know, cutting the 363 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 4: CO contribution in half and cutting it out entirely, if 364 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 4: you get over one hundred and eighty thousand a year, well, 365 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 4: for one hundred and eighty thousand or a two hundred 366 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 4: thousand dollars a year employee, that the tax on their 367 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 4: to twenty thousand dollars that they earn over one hundred 368 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 4: and eighty thousand is over one thousand dollars. So whether 369 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 4: the CO contributions five hundred or two sixty doesn't really matter. 370 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 4: The key thing is that they're paying more out an 371 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 4: extra tax as a result of the labor government putting 372 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 4: the tax rate up to thirty nine cents a few 373 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 4: years ago. 374 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 2: Don't get me started on that the four percent contribution 375 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 2: from employers. Is that a cost to business or a 376 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 2: solution to a long term problem. 377 00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 4: No, it's a cost of business. Most people, most generous 378 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 4: employers put in four percent anyway, or five. They'll match 379 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 4: the employees, and some employees even match it up to 380 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,360 Speaker 4: ten percent. So in that sense, having the minimum at 381 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 4: three is for people who can't afford to pay anymore, 382 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 4: and make them pay pay three and a half and 383 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 4: then four to get the co contribute. The matching contribution 384 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 4: from the employer doesn't really matter. And the real problem 385 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 4: is that every time they tweak this it damages people 386 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 4: confident and the system staying on. 387 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 2: Couldn't agree more, but they were always going to because 388 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 2: the politicians net gain or net loss as a move 389 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:43,719 Speaker 2: out of yesterday. 390 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 4: From the Kiwi save side. It's a net loss because 391 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 4: people will actually contribute. They'll do their one thousand dollars 392 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 4: a year just to get the two hundred and sixteen 393 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 4: instead of five hundred and twenty, but they won't actually 394 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 4: contribute the way they could and should if the system's 395 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,880 Speaker 4: kept the in its good form that it had. 396 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 2: Well, argue Jonathan, you have a good weekend, Appreciate it, 397 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 2: Jonathan Erickson, superannuation and key we expert.

Does 428 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 2: anyone have any evidence that New Zealanders are under saving 429 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 2: for retirement? Yes, we do. We've got plenty of evidence. 430 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 2: And the evidence is the percentage or the number of 431 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 2: people who are solely reliant on superannuation, and there are 432 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 2: far too many of them, thus indicating we've got a problem. 433 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 12: Six forty five International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance 434 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 12: Peace of mind for New Zealand business, say. 435 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 2: Sid Richard Arnold, Good Friday morning to you good And 436 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 2: he got there by one stop the center. 437 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 16: Well, a win's a win, right, He won the pressure 438 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 16: game when it came to the House. He got his 439 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 16: tax bill through by this single vote two hundred and 440 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 16: fifteen to two hundred and fourteen for what the Master 441 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 16: of nicknames calls, Who's one big beautiful bill. However, Matt Drudge, 442 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 16: the Conservative blog calls it quote the big beautiful tax bomb. 443 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 16: That's because this will add around three point eight trillion 444 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 16: dollars US to the massive deficit country has, which is 445 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 16: already at what thirty six a trillion, at a point 446 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 16: when others already are cooling on the US economy. So 447 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:35,120 Speaker 16: if conservatives once called themselves fiscal conservatives, well they didn't 448 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 16: vote that way, did they. They talk about cutting the debt, 449 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 16: then they ballot it when they're in power. This now 450 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 16: goes to the US Senate, where some Republicans are saying 451 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,679 Speaker 16: this is too big and they will not vote for 452 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 16: it in this form. Republican Senator Around Paul saying his 453 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 16: party will own the deficit if they back this thing. 454 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 16: Republicans Senate leader John Suons says they plan to seek 455 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 16: some changes and maybe break the bill apart into separate packages. 456 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 16: Republican Senator Lindsay Graham says the claims about spending cuts 457 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 16: are a mira. 458 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 11: Some of these cuts are not real. 459 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 7: So let's don't get high on a horse here. That 460 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 7: we've somehow made some major advance when are producing spending 461 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 7: costs we did. 462 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 16: When it's added up, the richest ten percent get an increase, 463 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 16: the poorest lose some money because the tax changes are aggressive, 464 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 16: and there are plan cuts as well through medical care 465 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 16: and food money for the poor, so rich do better 466 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 16: on the backs of the poor. There is an extension 467 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 16: of the twenty seventeen Trump's tax cuts that will cost 468 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 16: two point two trillion US. However, on the other side, 469 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 16: some eight point six million people here will be without 470 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 16: medical coverage, Food stamp requirements will be tightened. There will 471 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 16: be a temporary ban on taxing tips, which is an 472 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 16: idea that Trump put forward to win votes during the 473 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 16: campaign in Las Vegas and so on. But again that's 474 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 16: just temporary. There is a call for it would be 475 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 16: illigants to pay a thousand bucks to be considered in 476 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 16: the courts here, and there is a ban on some 477 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 16: clean energy incentives just on those elements. So if they 478 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 16: eliminated the tax counts for people who earn a half 479 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 16: a million bucks US a year or more, that would 480 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,199 Speaker 16: save more than one trillion dollars, a little more than 481 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 16: the cost of health care and food for four of folks, 482 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 16: So that's basically the split. 483 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 9: Hire. 484 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 16: Trump already is calling for an early Senate vote on 485 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 16: his budget and says it would be disastrous if he loses, 486 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 16: so he's already turning up the pressure once again. Meantime, 487 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 16: one little provision that sort of snuck in Mike is 488 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 16: and how some publicans wanted to change the law that 489 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 16: gun owners now will not have to report it if 490 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 16: they buy silences for their weapons, because as we know, 491 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 16: the endless gun massacres in this country are so noisy. 492 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, San Diego, what's the upload. 493 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 3: Yes, Well, we've just. 494 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,360 Speaker 16: Had the initial numbers on the dead and injured from 495 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 16: this crash. It was a small business jet that went 496 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 16: down into a suburban area of San Diego. FIA Chief 497 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 16: Dan Eddie is saying we had eat. 498 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 5: Injuried and we had two fatalities as well. 499 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 4: We're currently out right now, so it injured two fatalities. 500 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 5: One of those injuries was transported. 501 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 16: It appears that those killed were on the jet. That's 502 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 16: not exactly confirmed us yet, they're still investigating. Some on 503 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 16: the ground also were among the injured. So this is 504 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 16: really a huge disaster scene. Some fifteen houses were set 505 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 16: on fire. There was a lot of jet fuel burning. 506 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 16: About one hundred people were evacuated in the middle of 507 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 16: the night. At the height of this thing, last word 508 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 16: from the pilot was this clockerby. 509 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 4: Traffic scitation triple to self. 510 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 10: This yere three miles chinal. 511 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 16: Twov so no indication than of any emergency at that 512 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 16: point that they knew about in the cabin. Meantime, this 513 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 16: occurred as they were coming in to land at a 514 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 16: small uncontrolled airport in the middle of the night. As 515 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 16: I say, thick fog as well. Not clear as yet 516 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,360 Speaker 16: if there was any data voice recorder on the aircraft. 517 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 16: It was a citation two jet so dating for the 518 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 16: late seventies, so that was a point when these devices 519 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,439 Speaker 16: weren't mandated. On the ground. Right now, they're doing more 520 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 16: searches to make sure everybody is out. This is a 521 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 16: place where a lot of military families live, says a 522 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 16: city councilor. 523 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 5: We know that there was many miracles and many heroic 524 00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 5: actions from our police department, from our firefighters, and the 525 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 5: military members themselves. I've heard stories over at the school 526 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 5: just near us about military families helping military families out 527 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 5: of their home, jumping out of windows avoiding fire. 528 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 16: So quite a scene and amazing. There were not more 529 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 16: casualties made because everyone, of course would have been at home. 530 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, all right, man't go well. Richard Arnold stateside 531 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 2: just quickly, so he got the big bill, through the 532 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 2: big beautiful bill. But a federal judge also has ordered 533 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 2: the administration to run state more than thirteen hundred US 534 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 2: Department of Education employees. Twenty one State sued him over that, 535 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 2: So that's a loss and big news. Today, Universal's epic 536 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 2: new theme park has opened. This is Comcast. This is 537 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 2: sort of TVV entertainment, sort of clashing. The world's coming together. 538 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 2: Epic Universe is what it's called. Sois major theme park 539 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 2: in the US that's opened in twenty years. It's in 540 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 2: Orlando and Florida. The most technologically advanced theme park ever. 541 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 2: Took six years to build seven point seven billion dollars. 542 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 2: It's you watch it on the telly, then you go 543 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 2: play with it. The park also goes the theory turn 544 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 2: Away from seven. 545 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast with the Range, Rover Villa News 546 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: Talks Dad by. 547 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 2: Mike Carter taking ages to lift my own QIsab contributions 548 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 2: from three to ten percent. I encourage my kids to 549 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 2: contribute at ten percent from when they first started working. 550 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 2: They will never know the challenge of trying to lift 551 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 2: contributions and will be far better off. Maybe more job 552 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,239 Speaker 2: Starter should try and do the same. It's a very 553 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 2: good point. It's the leak on new view of the 554 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 2: world in Singapore. I can't remember what their number was 555 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 2: all those years ago. Was it eight or eleven or whatever? 556 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 2: Anyone when we were a third WORL country. We can't 557 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 2: save and look at them now, Mike, I struggle to 558 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 2: understand why employers aren't required to make any payments to 559 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 2: qv Saver for staff at sixty five plus. I pay 560 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 2: ten percent of my salary. My employer pays nothing. Well, 561 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 2: that's because you're on Super. He's the obvious answer to 562 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 2: that question. Although that's the Nikola Willis argument. We are 563 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 2: going to have a have to have a conversation. At 564 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 2: twenty eight billion dollars for Super and the increasing number 565 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 2: of people sixty five plus who are still gainfully employed 566 00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 2: and enjoying life, something's going to happen to Mike. Instead 567 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 2: of means test and Kiwi Saber contributions, they should have 568 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 2: paid full contribution to an age I e. Forty years, 569 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 2: get people into Kiwi Saber and the benefit of compound interest. 570 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 2: Everyone's got an idea. I've never been in Kiwi Saber. 571 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 2: I don't you know? You should sort yourself out? Is 572 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 2: my basic philosophy in life. If you want to say, 573 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 2: for a decent retirement, sort yourself out. Why are you're 574 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 2: relying on the government five minutes away from seven Because 575 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 2: as were said. 576 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 17: The ins and the outs, the fizz with business favor 577 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 17: take your business productivity to the next level. 578 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 2: Because, as our guest a couple of moments ago, Jonathan said, 579 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 2: the moment you rely on the government, they muck around 580 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 2: with it. Run your own life. You're not mucking around 581 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 2: with it. And if you are a no one to 582 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 2: blame but yourself. Us bond market, so they don't like 583 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 2: the big beautiful bill. The bond auction yesterday, demand was 584 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 2: at the lowest since February. Those who got in got 585 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 2: a higher yield. And this is this is the story 586 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 2: I'm trying to tell you. Watch this space. So poor 587 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 2: demand means that America is no longer seen the way 588 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 2: it used to be. It's increasingly seen as risky long 589 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,360 Speaker 2: term treasuries fell even more yesterday. The yields, they've gone 590 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 2: up ten year, four point six one. Yesterday I was 591 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 2: talking to this four point five or something for the 592 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 2: four point six one thirty year above five, Well, anything 593 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,679 Speaker 2: above five is a disaster for thirty years. It's now 594 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 2: at five point one four. The US dollars also going 595 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 2: the wrong way. The Big Beautiful Bill wouldd nearly four 596 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,959 Speaker 2: trillion to America's thirty six trillion in debt. They already 597 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 2: spend sixteen percent of all their money sixteen percent of 598 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 2: all their money, or six hundred and eighty four billion 599 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 2: dollars just servicing the interest, six hundred and eighty four 600 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 2: billion dollars just servicing the interest on their ever growing debt. 601 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 2: And of course that debt becomes more expensive as the 602 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 2: yield goes up. See join those dots and the bond 603 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 2: markets are affecting everyday Americans because the mortgage rates are up. 604 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 2: Our average fixed rate now six to eighty six, and 605 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 2: that's only going to get worse. Some mortgages now third 606 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 2: a year, have gone through seven percent. Emerging markets are 607 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 2: said to be the next bull run. This is what 608 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 2: I'm reading yesterday from the Bank of America, the next 609 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 2: bull market, the weaker US dollars dollar, the US bond yield, 610 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 2: Chinese economic recovery. Nothing will work better than emerging market stocks. 611 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 2: This is what the Bank of America are saying. And 612 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 2: why are they saying that? Because there is a flight 613 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 2: to consistency, there is a flight to surety, there is 614 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 2: a flight to or away from nuttiness. That's where the 615 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 2: money goes. People don't like surprises and trumps. One big, fat, 616 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 2: massive surprise. Yesterday's budget I thought was overall pretty reasonable 617 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 2: given the constraints of what they were dealing with. Brad 618 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 2: Olsen to workers through a few of the numbers. In 619 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 2: the next half hour of the program, the Finance Minister 620 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 2: Nikola willis, she'll be answering a few questions that weren't 621 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 2: asked properly yesterday and after eight too, and Katie will 622 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 2: be the weak for us here on the My Costume Bricks. 623 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 1: The Breakfast Show, Ki Trust to Stay in the Know, 624 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: the mic hosting Breakfast with Veda, Retirement Communities, Life Your 625 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: Way News, togs Head b. 626 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 2: Twenty seven past seven. So Budget twenty five. The government, 627 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 2: it turned out, did have a lot of money, and 628 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 2: that came from savings, half of them from the pay 629 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 2: equity adjustments, the rest from adjustments to key we save 630 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 2: a best start and benefit cuts infometrics principle. Economist Brad 631 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 2: Olson's back with this, Bradley, good. 632 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 3: Morning, Good morning. 633 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 2: Do tell me this means testing thing that they're doing 634 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 2: in various ways, shapes and sizes. Whenever I've asked a 635 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 2: government previously why they don't do it for doctors and 636 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 2: kids and stuff like that, they've always said it's too hard. 637 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 2: Is it suddenly not too hard and we can mean 638 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 2: to test people? 639 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 10: Well, I think it's probably an element of there where 640 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 10: it now becomes politically expedient enough to do it. I mean, 641 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 10: you look at the lights of the changes to the 642 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 10: eighteen to nineteen year olds. If you can means test 643 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 10: that age group when they go to university, when they 644 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 10: try and get a student allowance and similar it shouldn't 645 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,479 Speaker 10: be too much harder to do it for the unemployment benefit. 646 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 10: So there's part there. Was interesting though, looking through some 647 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 10: of the budget documents that the government is also expecting 648 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 10: further savings over time from having better data. Thinking between 649 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 10: the likes of MSD and IID two effectively do that 650 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 10: means setting much more efficiently. So I do think that 651 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 10: over time, as the government is getting better and better 652 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 10: with its data, it's able to better and better do 653 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 10: that means sesting without all of these big inefficiencies that 654 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 10: might have previously been there. So a little bit of 655 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 10: an advancement over time, a little bit of a political 656 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 10: shift as well. 657 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 2: I think the deficit surplus by twenty nine and how 658 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 2: you measure it, which way do you favor measuring And 659 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 2: are the government cooking the books? 660 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 10: No, they're not cooking the books so that you can 661 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 10: definitely come up with the various measures regardless of how 662 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 10: you do it. The government is on track for a surplus, 663 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 10: but it's going to be pretty touch and go, and 664 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 10: I think that highlights the storialities right that we are 665 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 10: still for a while going to be living beyond our means. 666 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 10: The government is still seeing expenses that are above thirty 667 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 10: one percent of GDP all the way out until twenty 668 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 10: twenty nine. So look at it on the overgal measure, 669 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,719 Speaker 10: look at it on the overgal x measure. They're all 670 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 10: trending towards the same point. But I think it does 671 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 10: highlight to look for the government, this is now you know, 672 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 10: I think probably the third maybe fourth year in a row, 673 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 10: that that budget gets a whole lot harder to return 674 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 10: to surplus. So long story short, for every budget into 675 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 10: the future, for the next couple, they will do the 676 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 10: exact same thing. It will probably get harder to achieve 677 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 10: that target. Something will have to give, and that means 678 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 10: probably less spending or something else coming along the way. 679 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 2: The debt to GDP. Does that worry you? 680 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 10: I think it's concerning to see it remaining so high 681 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 10: for so long. I can understand that it's difficult to 682 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 10: get that down without making some incredibly much deeper cuts 683 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 10: than we've already seen. But and this is a debate 684 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 10: that's been playing out, i think this week between the 685 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,719 Speaker 10: government and the opposition around debt levels. If something hits tomorrow, 686 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 10: if you have the Alpine fault that goes, if you 687 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 10: have another major weather event and similar that's where the 688 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 10: debt room is important because it helps us get through 689 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 10: Trresury recently estimated that after a big economic shop, we 690 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 10: spend something like ten percent of GDP on that recovery. 691 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 10: We've got to have that buffer head room. So as 692 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 10: much as it is important that we invest in the future, 693 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 10: and let's get that right. Particular infrastructure, we've got to 694 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 10: have a bit of buffer. 695 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 2: Too, okay, Brad good and so I appreciate it as 696 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 2: always brand of alson infometric principal economist. Where there's ten 697 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 2: minutes past seven. My favorite bit of you can apply 698 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 2: that phrase to a budget is there's two hundred million 699 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 2: dollars in due exploration for gas. It's basically a skin 700 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 2: in the game fund. It sends a message to the 701 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 2: industry the government is serious about getting back into this business. 702 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 2: The energy resources out here are Chief Executive John Carnegie's 703 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 2: back with us. John morning, Yeah, good morning mine. This 704 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 2: is reputational for the country and the government does it 705 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 2: work well? 706 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 9: Look, we think it well. I mean it's important to 707 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 9: put it under perspective, of course, because over the last 708 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 9: seven years all of the policy signals for the sector 709 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 9: have been unremittingly negative. So this end of changes the 710 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 9: government's now looking to make in the bill which is 711 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 9: in Parliament at the moment, will tilt the economic signals 712 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 9: back towards neutral and in doing so, tilt investment confidence 713 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 9: back towards investing. 714 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 11: So is it a positive signal yet? 715 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 2: Absolutely not a ten or fifteen percent, Is it enough? 716 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,399 Speaker 2: I mean, if I'm coming to the country and I've 717 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 2: got the government coming in at that level, am I 718 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 2: thinking good on them? Or am I still taking a 719 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 2: very big risk? 720 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:20,919 Speaker 10: Oh? 721 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:25,280 Speaker 9: Look again, it's important to put it into perspective. It 722 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 9: the number would set around about twenty percent of the 723 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 9: capital invested in the sector over the past few years, 724 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,320 Speaker 9: so it's not insignificant. And these projects do require huge 725 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 9: amounts of capital, so even a little government participation can 726 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 9: help de risk and catalyze investment. And it's also I 727 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 9: think important to think about the upside because of course, 728 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 9: while it may be as much about signaling government's intent 729 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 9: to partner with the industry, it could also prove to 730 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 9: be incredibly lucrative for the ground, especially if it's successful 731 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 9: and you know, the industry starts paying more royalties text 732 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 9: and the wider economic benefits of such. 733 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 2: Exactly flip side of that, and the Greens will be 734 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,359 Speaker 2: all over it. If you find nothing, though, and that's 735 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,280 Speaker 2: that's government money down the drain. 736 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 9: Well, you know, I think as you will recognize that 737 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 9: finding our energy system lurching from crisis to crisis that 738 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 9: we've been doing since twenty eighteen so look, you know, 739 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 9: people can call it what they want. We call it 740 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,400 Speaker 9: an investment and now economic an energy future. 741 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 2: Good all right, John, appreciate it, John Carnegie, Energy Resources 742 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:42,240 Speaker 2: with us this morning, thirteen minutes past seven. Rents national 743 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 2: medians falling for the second month in a row. Starts 744 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,399 Speaker 2: out this morning zero point appresent drop in March, another 745 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,920 Speaker 2: one in April. Overall, year on year, that's a decrease 746 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 2: of three point one percent. So your medium price around 747 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 2: the country is five hundred and sixty dollars, which is 748 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 2: twenty dollars less and it was so in other words, 749 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 2: is more affordable to rent these days? Noisy numbers for 750 00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:01,800 Speaker 2: a month on month, but I'll give them to you anyway. 751 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 2: On the upside, you've got Taranaki. It's up one point 752 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:08,479 Speaker 2: seven northan one point seven. On the downside, big drop 753 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 2: in Otigo, four point eight, minus one point five in Auckland, 754 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,279 Speaker 2: and minus two point nine to the Bay of Plenty. 755 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but we've been discovering lately, 756 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:21,479 Speaker 2: Mike Hosking Incorporated, that the ird are big on this 757 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 2: this this relationship between maintenance and so called improvements on 758 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 2: a rental property. If you're a landlord. They are cracking 759 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 2: down big time on that. And even if you're a 760 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 2: straight up and down player like I am, as honest 761 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 2: as the day is long and deeply conservative for a 762 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 2: variety of reasons, not least of which is the last 763 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 2: thing I need as a red flag next to my name. 764 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,839 Speaker 2: Even when you're as honest as the day is long, 765 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 2: there's still someone's given them the word to have a 766 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,359 Speaker 2: good hard look at depreciation and what things are writing off. 767 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 2: So the only reason I raise that, because you don't 768 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 2: give the monkeys about what I do in my life, 769 00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 2: is that is the twenty percent yesterday? Are we all 770 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 2: going out and buying stuff now? And if we all 771 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,759 Speaker 2: go out and buy an ATV like I could go 772 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 2: buy an ATV tomorrow for my six hectears of land, 773 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 2: it doesn't have anything to do with business. But am 774 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:11,880 Speaker 2: I now writing that off at twenty percent? And that 775 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,120 Speaker 2: is that somehow good for business, good for the economy. 776 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,040 Speaker 2: We'll talk to Nicoler about that. Fourteen past. 777 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:21,760 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 778 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 1: by News Talks at b OH. 779 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 2: Mike, isn't it interesting that interest deductibility has come back 780 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 2: and rents a down. Surprise, surprise, you stop bashing landlords, 781 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,840 Speaker 2: take away the punitive taxes and there's less pressure to 782 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,720 Speaker 2: increase rent. What a very good point. Seventeen past seven, 783 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 2: Part two of the Aukland FC this weekend as they 784 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 2: take on Melbourne second leg of course of the playoffs. 785 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 2: One Neil last week home ground this week sold out 786 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 2: of course. Aukland de f C boss Nick Beck is 787 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 2: back with us. 788 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:43,959 Speaker 3: Nick. 789 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 2: Morning to you, morning Mike. How are you well? Thank you? 790 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 2: If you win this weekend? Will you be as hungover 791 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,279 Speaker 2: as if I talk to you next week as you 792 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:55,240 Speaker 2: were last time? 793 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,319 Speaker 11: No? Well, listen, if we win, that's a very good question. 794 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,239 Speaker 11: I appreciate it. But if we go through it, I 795 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 11: certainly hope we do. This Saturday, it's going to be 796 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 11: a massive week for the club as we'll lead into 797 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 11: our first ever home ground final. So that's the plan. 798 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 11: I think I'll behave myself. But if you asked me 799 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 11: that question in two weeks time, it could be could. 800 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,439 Speaker 2: Be a whole different story. The who do you play? 801 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 3: Are you? 802 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 2: Are you ahead to the final and winning the whole 803 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 2: thing yet or are we just taking this weekend? 804 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:23,719 Speaker 11: No, we're definitely not getting ahead of ourselves and that's 805 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 11: that's definitely been a big message from from everyone from 806 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,240 Speaker 11: Bill right down to you know, like sort of Steve 807 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,920 Speaker 11: and the coaching staff have said to the boys a 808 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,279 Speaker 11: few times this week. We've set them down and said, look, 809 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 11: you know, we we're on that. We've had a fantastic season. 810 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,799 Speaker 11: It's been an amazing journey so far, but nobody wants 811 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 11: it to end. And if we start thinking about a 812 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 11: Grand Final, we can slip up. And it's all about 813 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,239 Speaker 11: having that focus and concentration. And to be honest, if 814 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 11: I think if they play like they did last Saturday, 815 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:53,320 Speaker 11: where they were just hungrier, they wanted it more immense 816 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 11: and defense, and then you know, to get a one 817 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 11: mill away is exactly the position you want to be 818 00:38:58,160 --> 00:38:59,280 Speaker 11: coming to a home seer. 819 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 2: Final, exactly. The bottom line affect crowd aside, homeground advantage 820 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 2: aside the bottom line effect. Having extra games at home 821 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:07,800 Speaker 2: must be good for business. 822 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 11: You would think so much, but unfortunately, the way that 823 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 11: the structure of the A LEA goes is the majority 824 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 11: of that particuling money goes off to the A League 825 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,440 Speaker 11: to API who run it. So although there are a 826 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,719 Speaker 11: few advantages for it and certainly it helps out our 827 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 11: retail sales. The structure of the camp at the moment 828 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 11: as it is, and I mean it's probably down to 829 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 11: fact it's only a young competition where it's only twenty 830 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 11: years old. But they come in and do a smash 831 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,760 Speaker 11: and grab and take our final, our final ticketing money. 832 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,400 Speaker 11: So it's not as lucrative as you'd hope it to be. 833 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 2: You need to rearrange that. 834 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 11: I do agree, and we're going to plan. That is 835 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,440 Speaker 11: on high on the list of things to do. 836 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 2: And that well, that was the other thing. I didn't 837 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,840 Speaker 2: realize that away goal thing had gone years ago and 838 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,719 Speaker 2: all sorts of competitions around the world. Why did that go? 839 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 2: And is that good or not? 840 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 11: I think goals should be treated as a le goal. 841 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 11: I think the goals goals, you don't like it to 842 00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,120 Speaker 11: be partners with a double goal from away thing. It 843 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 11: could have been an own goal, could have been a 844 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,360 Speaker 11: terrible goal, you know, it sort of could have been 845 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 11: a referring era of var era, you know. So I 846 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 11: think the fair eye is to have a goal as 847 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,279 Speaker 11: a goal and you win it in the time or 848 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 11: it goes into extra time and it goes down to 849 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 11: the penalties. If it's all locked up. 850 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 2: After that, okay, well, good luck this weekend. Most of 851 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 2: the nations behind you as far as I can work 852 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,239 Speaker 2: out in Nick Becker, who's the boss of Auckland FC. 853 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 2: A lot of this coming in this morning, Mike, can 854 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,360 Speaker 2: you please ask Nickeola the real question with pay equity? 855 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 2: Do you believe a social worker should get paid the 856 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 2: same as near traffic controller. I won't be asking that 857 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,879 Speaker 2: because she's already answered it many times over, but there 858 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,879 Speaker 2: is the debate, and it's an intense debate because it's 859 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 2: represented by this Mike. It's the reverse Robin Hood budget 860 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,439 Speaker 2: completely saved. Eighty percent of the savings come from ripping 861 00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,319 Speaker 2: off the lowest paid worker. Well that's not true. It's half. 862 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 2: It's not eighty percent as half, and this is part 863 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 2: of the problem. People get all their facts wrong. So 864 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,759 Speaker 2: fifty percent from doing some of the hardest work with 865 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 2: the most vulnerable in our society, and yet there's still 866 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,719 Speaker 2: money for millions more for private schools. So you've got 867 00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 2: a really angsty sort of debate, and we'll come back 868 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,320 Speaker 2: to that after seven to thirty this morning, seven twenty. 869 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 1: The Mic Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio Power 870 00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:08,760 Speaker 1: by Newstalksippy. 871 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 2: So let's face it, way we do businesses moved on 872 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 2: from you know your landlines, you face to face meetings. 873 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 2: Now it's mostly online meeting.

Are the Greens budget one? They shouldn't 899 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,479 Speaker 2: need to be allowed near a calculator.

One. I 917 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 2: mean you can't overstate how big this is set up 918 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 2: in the twenties for goodness sake, and to watch it 919 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 2: all fall apart the way it did this week in 920 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 2: one day, that was major. It was a big day 921 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,880 Speaker 2: in Australian political history. More from Murray later, not to 922 00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,279 Speaker 2: mention the effect the labor would clearly produced across the 923 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 2: political spectrum. Now the Golden Dome. Six, we will have 924 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,880 Speaker 2: the best system ever? Is it even real? I mean, 925 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,400 Speaker 2: can you build the Dome in three years? And if 926 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:46,920 Speaker 2: you can, how come we can't build a road in 927 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,919 Speaker 2: that time? Are the US credit down grade? Three? This 928 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,279 Speaker 2: is the I mean, this too might be historic if 929 00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,719 Speaker 2: the fundamental shift away from America and the belief in 930 00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:58,359 Speaker 2: it is real. And it seems to me run it straight. Five. 931 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,440 Speaker 2: I mean I'm nonplus it seems a bit idiotic, But 932 00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,520 Speaker 2: then so does Love Island, the Sun, the Cross too, 933 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,160 Speaker 2: a couple of whining locals, and the Council's suddenly got 934 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:09,799 Speaker 2: money in time for a survey, I mean, get real 935 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:15,279 Speaker 2: the FMA one a twenty one day workers survey questionnaire, 936 00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,600 Speaker 2: day after day after day after day after day, Get real, 937 00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,640 Speaker 2: Ardie Savi and nine. Imagine if he played for the Warriors, 938 00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:27,480 Speaker 2: Smith and Coey's two. That is what Arrogan's and competence, 939 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,640 Speaker 2: blind ideology and lack of vision does for a city 940 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 2: Auckland Council Radio ratings, Radio ratings eight. It would appear 941 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 2: results release yesterday indicate this particular program might have got 942 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,680 Speaker 2: a few numbers that made people go, can that guy 943 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,120 Speaker 2: get any bigger and better? Or words to that effect. 944 00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,239 Speaker 2: That's the week copies of the website and if you 945 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,839 Speaker 2: look closely at this week's pecuniary interest list, one MP 946 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,839 Speaker 2: declared they had been gifted four hundred of these, asking right, 947 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,360 Speaker 2: Sir Nichola Willison. The next half hour of the program 948 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,080 Speaker 2: got a little bit correspondence on Smith and Keey closing down. Actually, 949 00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:02,560 Speaker 2: and it's not all interestingly enough, they would argue, and 950 00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,280 Speaker 2: these people are experts in the field, it's not all 951 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:09,040 Speaker 2: the council's fault. It might be sitting just quietly there 952 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 2: on the doorstep of Psmith and Coe. But I'll come 953 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:12,319 Speaker 2: back to all of that in the next half hour 954 00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,520 Speaker 2: of the program. Tim and Katy for you after Rake 955 00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,600 Speaker 2: this Friday morning on the Mike Hosking rest. 956 00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:32,440 Speaker 1: Your source of breaking news, challenging opinion and honored facts. 957 00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:37,000 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast with the range Rover Villa designed 958 00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:38,960 Speaker 1: to intrigue and use togs Head be. 959 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,840 Speaker 2: Katy Afterday twenty three to eight. So the Finnounce Minister 960 00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,640 Speaker 2: found a shedloaded dave from savings and spread it about 961 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:46,000 Speaker 2: the place. A lot of it is pre announced. The 962 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,319 Speaker 2: course essorsors these days areas like health and defense we 963 00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,840 Speaker 2: already knew about. We don't have a surplus though for years, 964 00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:55,000 Speaker 2: and we are borrowing yet more money. The Finance Minister, 965 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,040 Speaker 2: Nichola Willis is with us, a very good morning to you. 966 00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:58,520 Speaker 8: Good morning mate. 967 00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,640 Speaker 2: The surplus that you are promising by twenty twenty nine 968 00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,960 Speaker 2: under your dodgy measurement process, what if you're wrong? That 969 00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:08,520 Speaker 2: will be two terms of a national government that couldn't 970 00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,480 Speaker 2: deliver a single surplus? Is that a government that knows 971 00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:12,560 Speaker 2: how to run an economy. 972 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,680 Speaker 8: Well, it's really important to me that we do get 973 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,279 Speaker 8: the books back in balance and back in surplus, and 974 00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:21,640 Speaker 8: that's our fiscal strategy. And what we've shown is despite 975 00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:25,359 Speaker 8: everything that's been happening internationally and the downgraded forecasts that 976 00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,279 Speaker 8: have resulted from that, we're still on track to get 977 00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:32,560 Speaker 8: that surplus. So I don't take economic recovery for granted. 978 00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,160 Speaker 8: That's why in this budget we've put that focus on 979 00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:39,000 Speaker 8: the investment boost policy to encourage businesses to keep investing. 980 00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,080 Speaker 8: That's why we're making a number of reforms for growth 981 00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:46,000 Speaker 8: because ultimately, the biggest risk to surplus is if our 982 00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:49,279 Speaker 8: economy slows down, and so that's why we're really on 983 00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,719 Speaker 8: the side of driving activity in this economy. 984 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:55,279 Speaker 2: The means testing stuff. I've asked many people over the 985 00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:59,279 Speaker 2: years around doctors and why you're subsidizing my kids to 986 00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,520 Speaker 2: go to a doctor, No idea. I don't need your help. 987 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,759 Speaker 2: You've always explained that it's too difficult to means test. 988 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,200 Speaker 2: How come suddenly we can means test lots of stuff 989 00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:08,520 Speaker 2: and that's apparently doable. 990 00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,800 Speaker 8: Well, I do support means testing. 991 00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,560 Speaker 2: I do too, but you've explained previously you can't. 992 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:17,880 Speaker 8: Do it well in some cases, in some particular areas, 993 00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,440 Speaker 8: it may be challenging. But in the couple of areas 994 00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:23,120 Speaker 8: that we've chosen in this budget, it's very straightforward. With 995 00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:26,160 Speaker 8: Key we Saver, we're simply not putting the government contribution, 996 00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:28,680 Speaker 8: the government subsidy in for those earning one hundred and 997 00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,400 Speaker 8: eighty thousand dollars or more. That's pretty simple to do 998 00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,920 Speaker 8: via ID. And with the Best Start Payment, which is 999 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,680 Speaker 8: a payment for people who have babies, we're just lining 1000 00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,920 Speaker 8: that up with what the regime already is for year 1001 00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,640 Speaker 8: two and three. There's always been means testing there, it's 1002 00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,600 Speaker 8: just been only for the year two and three of 1003 00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:47,319 Speaker 8: the payment, and we're are liigning it a new one. 1004 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:51,279 Speaker 8: So those are simple changes. Collectively, they save hundreds of 1005 00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,760 Speaker 8: millions of dollars. I think everyone just needs to remember 1006 00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,160 Speaker 8: right now than anything the government's doing like that, we 1007 00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,880 Speaker 8: are borrowing to do it, and that cannot go on forever. 1008 00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:02,200 Speaker 8: We have to make savings if we want to invest 1009 00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:02,879 Speaker 8: in the things that we. 1010 00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,400 Speaker 2: All under your it is, and that's that's part of 1011 00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:09,520 Speaker 2: the problem. That forty six percent debt to GDP, that's 1012 00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:11,880 Speaker 2: that's ruinous. We don't have enough room to move should 1013 00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:13,080 Speaker 2: should something go wrong? 1014 00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,880 Speaker 8: Yeah, Well, what the projections show is that debt is 1015 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:20,560 Speaker 8: peaking a little bit lower than was being predicted a 1016 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:23,120 Speaker 8: few months ago at the half year update before Christmas, 1017 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,719 Speaker 8: but and then it is starting to come down in 1018 00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:29,200 Speaker 8: the final year of our forecasts. We want to see 1019 00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,560 Speaker 8: debt coming back down to forty percent of GDP because 1020 00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:34,160 Speaker 8: we need a bit more of a buffer for a 1021 00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,880 Speaker 8: rainy day than box refrish GDP. 1022 00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:39,719 Speaker 2: Where it wasn't that long ago when Stephen Joyce lift off. 1023 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,000 Speaker 2: It was nineteen that's right. 1024 00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,640 Speaker 8: And even after the GFC and the christ chich earthquake, 1025 00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,560 Speaker 8: the highest debt got was twenty five percent. So I 1026 00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:51,239 Speaker 8: think we just have to try that context. How much, Well, 1027 00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,879 Speaker 8: because I got left with an absolute debt mountain by 1028 00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,200 Speaker 8: the last loot. That's the reality of what's happened to here. 1029 00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,719 Speaker 8: Not only did they leave an absolute debt mountain, more 1030 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,040 Speaker 8: than a hundred billion dollars more of debt with very 1031 00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:04,600 Speaker 8: little to show for it, they left a structural deficit 1032 00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:07,359 Speaker 8: in the box, which is they were structurally spending a 1033 00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:10,000 Speaker 8: lot more than we were earning, and we're now having 1034 00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,320 Speaker 8: to pair that back and correct it, and it's pretty 1035 00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,560 Speaker 8: hard work, but we can do it, and we've put 1036 00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:16,520 Speaker 8: out a plan that shows that we'll get there. 1037 00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:18,240 Speaker 2: Were you tempted to go harder? 1038 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,959 Speaker 8: Well, I was always of the view that we should 1039 00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,280 Speaker 8: look for as many savings as we could reasonably deliver, 1040 00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,840 Speaker 8: because when you're borrowing to pay for the groceries, you 1041 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,160 Speaker 8: owe it. I think to New Zealanders to say, have 1042 00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:35,440 Speaker 8: I really tested whether we're getting value for money for everything? 1043 00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,160 Speaker 8: And there were some big calls in this budget. No 1044 00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:41,480 Speaker 8: one's saying it's easy, but I think where we've got 1045 00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:43,279 Speaker 8: to is the right balance, because for me it is 1046 00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,759 Speaker 8: important we keep investing in education, we keep investing in 1047 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,120 Speaker 8: how those things matter to people, and they ultimately making 1048 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:49,480 Speaker 8: a difference to the Acommy. 1049 00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:50,799 Speaker 2: Do you don't give me your normal answer, which is 1050 00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:52,640 Speaker 2: this is what I've been told by Treasury. Do you 1051 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,600 Speaker 2: believe the growth forecasts of an average of two point 1052 00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:57,279 Speaker 2: nine over the next four years? 1053 00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:57,960 Speaker 10: I do. 1054 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:00,879 Speaker 8: I look at our exporters and are well they are 1055 00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:04,879 Speaker 8: doing right now? I can see that continuing. I have 1056 00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,880 Speaker 8: the benefit of visiting really cool businesses across the country 1057 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,920 Speaker 8: and seeing their prospects for the future, and I look 1058 00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,040 Speaker 8: at New Zealand compared to lots of other countries in 1059 00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,080 Speaker 8: the world. Right now, we're safe, we're secure, we've got 1060 00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:20,200 Speaker 8: great farmers, we've got lots of trading relationships. There's every 1061 00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:23,160 Speaker 8: reason we can succeed over these next few years. But 1062 00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:25,320 Speaker 8: we do need a government that's on the side of business, 1063 00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:26,440 Speaker 8: and we absolutely are. 1064 00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:30,160 Speaker 2: Are we structurally limited? Do you think at about see 1065 00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:32,319 Speaker 2: two point ninety three is about what we do in 1066 00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:34,000 Speaker 2: the good days, if we can manage that over the 1067 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,760 Speaker 2: next four years, that this is an export lead recovery, 1068 00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,840 Speaker 2: all of that's great news. Are we structurally limited to 1069 00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,560 Speaker 2: doing anything better than that without sort of soaking inflation? 1070 00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:44,839 Speaker 3: Yeah? 1071 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:46,840 Speaker 8: Well, look what Treasury says that we do come up 1072 00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:50,480 Speaker 8: against productivity constraints when growth gets a bit higher than that, 1073 00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:54,520 Speaker 8: And that's why we're doing this investment boost policy. That's 1074 00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:57,480 Speaker 8: about acknowledging that one of the things that's held us 1075 00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,000 Speaker 8: back traditionally is we've got low rates of capital intensive. 1076 00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:02,640 Speaker 8: That is, our firms don't have as good a machinery 1077 00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,920 Speaker 8: and technology as their international counterparts. How do we encourage 1078 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:07,560 Speaker 8: people to invest more in that while we're giving them 1079 00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,239 Speaker 8: a tax break for investing in assets those are the 1080 00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:13,000 Speaker 8: sorts of things that over the years, will make this 1081 00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:15,399 Speaker 8: a more productive economy. But it's also things like having 1082 00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:19,080 Speaker 8: better educated workers, having a better match up between business 1083 00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,759 Speaker 8: and science, having resource consent laws that don't mean you 1084 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:26,400 Speaker 8: have to spend three years in court fighting to build something. 1085 00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:28,360 Speaker 8: You know that stuff is waste for it gets in 1086 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:29,080 Speaker 8: the way of growth. 1087 00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,360 Speaker 2: The RB next week, are they going to come to 1088 00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:31,840 Speaker 2: the party? 1089 00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,480 Speaker 8: I think they will. Obviously I'm not allowed to influence them, 1090 00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:39,480 Speaker 8: but you don't need to talk to many economists to 1091 00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,200 Speaker 8: hear that there's room for interest rates to ease further. 1092 00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:47,279 Speaker 8: Certainly treasuries forecasts show that our budget helps create that room. 1093 00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,520 Speaker 8: And I look around the world and I think that 1094 00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:53,640 Speaker 8: the uncertainty still is out there, So I think the 1095 00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:55,160 Speaker 8: Reserve Bank still has room to go. 1096 00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,480 Speaker 2: What do you, well, are you not influencing the Reserve Bank? 1097 00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,040 Speaker 2: They can make up their own mind. What's neutral? You 1098 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:00,479 Speaker 2: and a half? 1099 00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:02,520 Speaker 4: Well? 1100 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:04,759 Speaker 2: The reason I asked that is I think it's two 1101 00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:06,600 Speaker 2: and a half to two seven five. And the reason 1102 00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,040 Speaker 2: I think that is I think things are harder than 1103 00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:10,160 Speaker 2: a lot of people understand. 1104 00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:13,640 Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I think the Reserve Bank thinks neutral is 1105 00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,920 Speaker 8: a bit higher than that, but it'll be interesting to 1106 00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:19,360 Speaker 8: see what they say next week. But I think the 1107 00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,359 Speaker 8: key thing that we've seen recently is that interest rates 1108 00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,560 Speaker 8: haven't necessarily transmitted through to people. You've still got a 1109 00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:27,479 Speaker 8: lot of people who haven't gone on to a lower 1110 00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:30,080 Speaker 8: rate yet, so we haven't had all the stimulatory effect 1111 00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:33,480 Speaker 8: of the earlier cuts. So things should be flowing through 1112 00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:34,920 Speaker 8: over the next few months and that'll be what the 1113 00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:35,600 Speaker 8: Reserve banks. 1114 00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:37,680 Speaker 2: And that for you, then brings in the politics of 1115 00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:40,360 Speaker 2: all of this because you look at manufacturing, manufacturers on 1116 00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:42,600 Speaker 2: the move, exports as we know, are on the move, 1117 00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:47,840 Speaker 2: services isn't, and sentiment isn't and you need something to 1118 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,239 Speaker 2: switch otherwise people come election to you are just going 1119 00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:51,759 Speaker 2: to look at you and go, jeez, we're still in 1120 00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:53,640 Speaker 2: debt and the place is still stuff. Let's give someone 1121 00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:54,160 Speaker 2: else a crack. 1122 00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:55,439 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1123 00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:57,839 Speaker 8: Well, look, that's why I'm heartened by this forecast, because 1124 00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:01,160 Speaker 8: what they show is growth really speeding up next year. 1125 00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:04,960 Speaker 8: They show unemployment peaking the middle of this year and 1126 00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,200 Speaker 8: then coming down again. They show a lot of job 1127 00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:10,160 Speaker 8: creation happening. And when I'm out and about talking to businesses, 1128 00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:12,719 Speaker 8: they say to me, look, the thing we need to 1129 00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:14,640 Speaker 8: see is that the government's really on our side that 1130 00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:17,680 Speaker 8: investment boost tax policy. It's a very clear indication that 1131 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:21,919 Speaker 8: we are. We'll get our Resource Management Act replacement this year. 1132 00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:24,719 Speaker 8: We're going to have a succession of things that I 1133 00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:27,359 Speaker 8: think will and gender confidence and will build a sense 1134 00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:31,600 Speaker 8: of momentum. I can't stop international events making people a 1135 00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,200 Speaker 8: bit wobbly. That is the reality of things. 1136 00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:34,640 Speaker 3: A lot of. 1137 00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:36,759 Speaker 8: Businesses look at the world and go, I'm not sure 1138 00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:39,319 Speaker 8: I'm that confident right now, but I think that every 1139 00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:41,040 Speaker 8: reason to be. This is a much better place to 1140 00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:43,040 Speaker 8: be doing business than lots of other parts of the world. 1141 00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:45,960 Speaker 2: The under eighteen nineteen year olds who are unemployed, You're 1142 00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:49,000 Speaker 2: going to mean test that parents. When's that announcement coming? 1143 00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:52,600 Speaker 2: And why wasn't it yesterday? And when it does come, 1144 00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:54,920 Speaker 2: the reason it wasn't yesterday is people are going to squeal. 1145 00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,240 Speaker 8: Well, it's a great policy, Mike, because I have talked 1146 00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:01,959 Speaker 8: to parents myself who say it's pretty tough. 1147 00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,719 Speaker 2: But it depends where Nicola, don't play this game with me. 1148 00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:06,560 Speaker 2: It depends when you where where are you going to 1149 00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:08,719 Speaker 2: means test the mat Is it one eighty plus or 1150 00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:10,399 Speaker 2: is it a lot lower? And a lot of parents 1151 00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,160 Speaker 2: are going to go I can't afford to do that. 1152 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,400 Speaker 8: Well, we only really want it to be an exceptional 1153 00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:18,440 Speaker 8: circumstances that this policy doesn't apply, because our base expectation 1154 00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:22,319 Speaker 8: is if you're a teenager, we expect agreement. If you 1155 00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:24,920 Speaker 8: can't get a job, you should be in training or 1156 00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:25,680 Speaker 8: an apprenticeship. 1157 00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,880 Speaker 2: You're talking to just how much, Nicola? How much does 1158 00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:30,719 Speaker 2: a parent have to earn before you ping them? 1159 00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:32,960 Speaker 8: Well, Cabinet will make those decisions. 1160 00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:34,080 Speaker 2: You haven't even made the decision. 1161 00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,920 Speaker 8: No, we haven't made that decision. The final design of 1162 00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:41,000 Speaker 8: the policy is yet to be made. But what we 1163 00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,640 Speaker 8: are clear about is that it will be very difficult 1164 00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:46,680 Speaker 8: for those teenagers to access a benefit. It will only 1165 00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:49,920 Speaker 8: be an exceptional circumstances where they genuinely can't rely on 1166 00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:50,920 Speaker 8: their parents for support. 1167 00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:53,520 Speaker 2: Is it one plus? Should it be one eighty plus? 1168 00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:56,319 Speaker 8: Well, I actually think it should be less than that. 1169 00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,239 Speaker 8: Cabinet will obviously have to deliberate what we said. 1170 00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,239 Speaker 2: Do you think it's less than one hundred thousand dollars? 1171 00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:05,160 Speaker 8: Well, I think basically any parent doesn't really matter what 1172 00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:08,480 Speaker 8: their income situation is, doesn't want to have to say 1173 00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:10,400 Speaker 8: to their kid, look just live at home. It's fine. 1174 00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:12,920 Speaker 8: Take take the doll take it, take the benefit from 1175 00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:14,839 Speaker 8: the government. They want to be able to say, look, 1176 00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:19,280 Speaker 8: get out there, do some training, get a job, because 1177 00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:22,600 Speaker 8: that's actually where your future lies. And we're aspirational for you. 1178 00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:25,000 Speaker 8: We don't want you just taking a check from the government. 1179 00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:27,320 Speaker 8: And actually that's not a nice recipe for anyone. 1180 00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:29,880 Speaker 2: No, it isn't. But that number is going to be political, 1181 00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:31,480 Speaker 2: isn't it a nice suspect that's why you've not made 1182 00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:32,280 Speaker 2: the decision yet. 1183 00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:35,200 Speaker 8: Well, no, it's not that. It's just that we were 1184 00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,920 Speaker 8: clear that this was a reform that we wanted to progress, 1185 00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:40,520 Speaker 8: but we needed to finalize some of the details and 1186 00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:42,520 Speaker 8: we'll look forward to announcing those in due course. 1187 00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:44,200 Speaker 2: Look forward to talking to you about it. Appreciate it, 1188 00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,520 Speaker 2: Finance Minister Nikola Willis thirteen to two. 1189 00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:52,240 Speaker 1: The Vike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1190 00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:53,040 Speaker 1: by News Talks. 1191 00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:56,799 Speaker 2: That'd be turn away from it means testing is fine, Mike, 1192 00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:59,040 Speaker 2: but the level is important. It's exactly why I was 1193 00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,640 Speaker 2: asking your nice So I suspect that's a story for 1194 00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:03,640 Speaker 2: another day, Mike. Where one hundred and twenty thousand dollars 1195 00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:06,160 Speaker 2: a year house four kids. I wish this law was 1196 00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:08,480 Speaker 2: around for my eldest, he's twenty five, still at home. 1197 00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:11,000 Speaker 2: I can't work out what to do. There are many, many, 1198 00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,520 Speaker 2: many parents in that same scenario. Nicola is one hundred 1199 00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:15,400 Speaker 2: percent right. I mean, most parents you should be give 1200 00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:17,839 Speaker 2: kick up the ass and telling them to get out 1201 00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:20,479 Speaker 2: into the world. But if suddenly the bill's on you 1202 00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:24,080 Speaker 2: and it's the big clue there was below one hundred thousand, 1203 00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:25,680 Speaker 2: I mean a lot of this means testing has done 1204 00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:27,839 Speaker 2: at one eighty plus on the top tax rate. If 1205 00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:29,640 Speaker 2: you're any ninety five thousand dollars a year and you 1206 00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:31,200 Speaker 2: got three or four kids at home and suddenly you're 1207 00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:32,919 Speaker 2: expected to look after the kid because the kid can't 1208 00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:36,040 Speaker 2: get any welfare, that's going to be political. 1209 00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:36,239 Speaker 4: Mike. 1210 00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:38,160 Speaker 2: I'm sick of listening to this government blaming the last 1211 00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:40,759 Speaker 2: government about debt. Where would national have got the money 1212 00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:44,240 Speaker 2: from during COVID or cyclone? Gabriel, It is a fair question, 1213 00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:46,600 Speaker 2: but the answer is not about the amount or where 1214 00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:48,040 Speaker 2: they would have got it from, the course they would 1215 00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,440 Speaker 2: have borrowed it, but it's about what they would have 1216 00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:52,239 Speaker 2: done with it, how they would have done it, and 1217 00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:55,160 Speaker 2: how quickly they would have paid it back. The amount 1218 00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:58,040 Speaker 2: of waste from the previous government and this has been 1219 00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:01,560 Speaker 2: so ruinous for the economy. Was they literally just machine 1220 00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:03,880 Speaker 2: gunned the place. They sprayed money all over the place, 1221 00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:07,080 Speaker 2: all the businesses who took loans and have never paid 1222 00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,680 Speaker 2: them back, and we're never expected to pay them back, 1223 00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:12,200 Speaker 2: although technically they were, but they knew they wouldn't. There's 1224 00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:15,360 Speaker 2: billions of dollars been flushed down the toilets that somebody 1225 00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,640 Speaker 2: still owes I e. The government, I EU and I 1226 00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:20,600 Speaker 2: the taxpayer. That was just waste. So it's not what 1227 00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:22,520 Speaker 2: you do, it's how you do. It's the key, Mike. 1228 00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:26,280 Speaker 2: I'm on a private school board fully support the increase 1229 00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:28,360 Speaker 2: of the private school budget dedication. The funding has an 1230 00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:30,480 Speaker 2: increased since two thousand and ten. Most private schools pay 1231 00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:33,120 Speaker 2: more on GST than they receive in government funding. It's 1232 00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:35,680 Speaker 2: such an easy chestnut for an ill informed or the 1233 00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:38,880 Speaker 2: ill informed to make inaccurate comments about private school funding 1234 00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:41,640 Speaker 2: without understanding how much private schools contribute to the country. 1235 00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,120 Speaker 2: Couldn't agree more. That's a win for ACT. And of 1236 00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:45,880 Speaker 2: course you got a remember if you didn't have private schools, 1237 00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:48,360 Speaker 2: they'd all be in public schools ate away from it. 1238 00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:53,040 Speaker 1: The make Hosking breakfast with Bailey's real estate news dogs, they'd. 1239 00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:55,160 Speaker 2: Be probably not surprised. I'm just being told that the 1240 00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:59,840 Speaker 2: video yesterday from Ramafosa Trump was showing them of the killings, 1241 00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:03,040 Speaker 2: and Ramaphosa quite rightly. He's by and large and reasonably 1242 00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:05,840 Speaker 2: well treated by the rest of the world for handling 1243 00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:08,800 Speaker 2: it pretty well, given it was an ambush. He asked 1244 00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:10,760 Speaker 2: where as this, and Trump said South Africa, which have 1245 00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:14,440 Speaker 2: as I say, not surprisingly, turns out wasn't true. It 1246 00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,960 Speaker 2: was Congo, so he got completely the wrong place. This 1247 00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:20,360 Speaker 2: is the feedback. Smith and Coey very sad this week 1248 00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:22,880 Speaker 2: that they're closing down an Auckland Icon one hundred and 1249 00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,080 Speaker 2: forty odd years worth of business. But this is from 1250 00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:28,000 Speaker 2: a person who I know and deal with, who does 1251 00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:31,520 Speaker 2: business in the downtown Auckland area, says this. While much 1252 00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:34,640 Speaker 2: has been said about the external pressures facing Smith and Coey, 1253 00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:38,120 Speaker 2: CBD infrastructure issues, changing real to our habits, and rising costs, 1254 00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:41,680 Speaker 2: the truth is that its rebirth was equally hindered by 1255 00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,400 Speaker 2: internal failings. There was little of any meaningful shift in 1256 00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,959 Speaker 2: sales culture, the opportunity to redefine what a department store 1257 00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:51,960 Speaker 2: service could look like was missed. In a retail environment 1258 00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:56,880 Speaker 2: where experiences everything. Smith and Coey remained stuck in the past, bored, 1259 00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:01,360 Speaker 2: passive staff positioned more as deterrence than ambassttors. The focus 1260 00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:04,120 Speaker 2: seemed to be on preventing theft rather than enriching the 1261 00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:07,760 Speaker 2: customer experience. Now, I trust this person because, as I say, 1262 00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:10,760 Speaker 2: he's an experienced operator, he's in the area, he does well. 1263 00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,360 Speaker 2: I do business with him. He knows how to run 1264 00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,840 Speaker 2: a proper business. Others have said something similar to me, 1265 00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:18,520 Speaker 2: which is not to diss Smith and Coey at all, 1266 00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:21,040 Speaker 2: but it is to try and balance the argument. As 1267 00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:23,320 Speaker 2: much as it's easy to blame a council, and it's 1268 00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:26,640 Speaker 2: easy to blame road cones and downtown Auckland is a 1269 00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:31,320 Speaker 2: complete and utter dump. Do not get me wrong. It's 1270 00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:35,919 Speaker 2: not always open and shut, black and white, right and wrong. Mike, 1271 00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:38,280 Speaker 2: what other lot is going to run the country? The 1272 00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:43,160 Speaker 2: other lot created this mess? Well, Graham, never underestimate people's 1273 00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:47,080 Speaker 2: memory or desire for in difficult times, just a little 1274 00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,760 Speaker 2: bit more large. Yes, with somebody else footing the bill, 1275 00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:52,600 Speaker 2: there's a great power to that particular equation. 1276 00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:58,760 Speaker 17: The news is next, the news and the newsmakers, the 1277 00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:02,480 Speaker 17: mic asking read fast with Bailey's real estate, your local 1278 01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:06,200 Speaker 17: experts across residential, commercial and rural news talks head be. 1279 01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:21,560 Speaker 2: You is this like? Who am I thinking? This is Oasis? Yeah, 1280 01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:24,520 Speaker 2: says isn't it? It's not, but that's who it could be. 1281 01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:26,360 Speaker 2: It's Voom now. 1282 01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:27,920 Speaker 12: Boom is a. 1283 01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:30,680 Speaker 2: Band that's been around for two decades through a local band, 1284 01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,680 Speaker 2: in fact, not only the local deal from Auckland.

Because Little Sammy's 1491 01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:15,040 Speaker 2: off this weekend to get his dog. 1492 01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:18,880 Speaker 19: Sam was getting a dog. 1493 01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:22,559 Speaker 2: He's getting a dog. So Little Sammy and his girlfriend that, well, 1494 01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:24,600 Speaker 2: let me build up to this because this is the 1495 01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:26,400 Speaker 2: important point. I just wanted to know what we paid 1496 01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:29,760 Speaker 2: for ours. He's driving to tower On which we got 1497 01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:31,800 Speaker 2: our dog from Towering, so there's a lot of dog 1498 01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:37,839 Speaker 2: breeding going on and Towering. Clearly he's paid his Argentinian ridgeback. 1499 01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:44,479 Speaker 2: So yeah, so he's paid Argentinian ridgeback is very similar 1500 01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:49,040 Speaker 2: to like a rot wheeler, like it's quite a powerful, 1501 01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:49,720 Speaker 2: large dog. 1502 01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:51,679 Speaker 19: Living in an apartment. 1503 01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:54,040 Speaker 2: He's still living. This is part of the problem. So 1504 01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:57,920 Speaker 2: Sam's living in his part. He's got no he's got 1505 01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:01,320 Speaker 2: no dining table. He's got no dining table because he 1506 01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:04,240 Speaker 2: can't afford a dining table. But he's got money on 1507 01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:08,719 Speaker 2: Argentinian ridgeback. So what's he paying three and a half greened. 1508 01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:12,120 Speaker 14: Yeah, that's not a dog, that's a car. 1509 01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:14,400 Speaker 11: He could have three and a. 1510 01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:17,280 Speaker 2: Half gate this is but he couldn't put it well, 1511 01:11:17,280 --> 01:11:18,760 Speaker 2: he probably could put it in the apartment because he 1512 01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:20,120 Speaker 2: hasn't got you. 1513 01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:22,439 Speaker 14: Know what it would fit in the in the list. 1514 01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:24,960 Speaker 14: He drives it into the apartment.

You've got fodder drops, 1644 01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:50,760 Speaker 20: you've got aircraft helicopters out there fishing old people out 1645 01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:53,320 Speaker 20: of homes because they're sitting on the kitchen table as 1646 01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:54,160 Speaker 20: the water's coming up. 1647 01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:55,720 Speaker 3: It's just absolutely off the chart. 1648 01:17:56,080 --> 01:17:58,719 Speaker 2: Tell you why I'm interested, purely from a selfish region. 1649 01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:02,160 Speaker 2: I watched the the pastern of the weather and it 1650 01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:05,439 Speaker 2: seems to come in from the north and hook into 1651 01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:08,759 Speaker 2: New South Wales. Thus in the middle of the Tasman 1652 01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:10,960 Speaker 2: putting up a barrier because the northern part of New 1653 01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:15,639 Speaker 2: Zealand has had the most one spectacular summer and two 1654 01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:18,280 Speaker 2: of the most incredible autumn slash in the winter. For 1655 01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:20,040 Speaker 2: this last week in the northern part of the country, 1656 01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:24,680 Speaker 2: it's clear blue skies fifteen sixteen seventeen degrees every single day. 1657 01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:27,639 Speaker 2: It's just ridiculous. Meantime, I'm looking across at you guys swimming. 1658 01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:31,960 Speaker 20: Indeed, swimming is right, but and you know we're going 1659 01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:35,160 Speaker 20: to be swimming for a fairoh while the weather's contracting south. 1660 01:18:35,479 --> 01:18:37,559 Speaker 20: I've just hung up from the Weather Bureau of Angus Hines. 1661 01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:39,960 Speaker 20: He's another Kiwi fella here. I've been over here for 1662 01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:43,080 Speaker 20: a bit. He's based in Melbourne, so he's got his rich, 1663 01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:45,679 Speaker 20: thick New Zealand accent across the air waves. 1664 01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:46,240 Speaker 3: This morning. 1665 01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:48,680 Speaker 20: The weather is contracting south, so they're going to get 1666 01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:50,840 Speaker 20: on the News World's South Coast today. 1667 01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:51,400 Speaker 3: In Brisbane. 1668 01:18:51,400 --> 01:18:53,960 Speaker 20: I think it's twenty five degrees in sunny, so you 1669 01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,120 Speaker 20: only have to go south of the border, and you've 1670 01:18:56,120 --> 01:18:58,920 Speaker 20: got river levels that I've not seen before, so it's 1671 01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:01,960 Speaker 20: absolutely crazy. But when you think about Brisbane to Sydney 1672 01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:04,840 Speaker 20: is the lect of New Zealand, you can get some 1673 01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:08,760 Speaker 20: idea of the scale of the geography involved, so you know, 1674 01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:12,080 Speaker 20: different weather patterns I suppose aren't that unusual. I guess 1675 01:19:12,200 --> 01:19:15,120 Speaker 20: over that sort of length of coastline. But it has 1676 01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:17,280 Speaker 20: been all hands to the pumps literally. 1677 01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:22,439 Speaker 2: I was watching a Little Proud yesterday and what I've 1678 01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:24,439 Speaker 2: never seen such a mess in my life. One it 1679 01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:27,639 Speaker 2: fell apart and then it fell apart and I couldn't 1680 01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:29,720 Speaker 2: work out So why didn't you just go Look, we 1681 01:19:30,040 --> 01:19:33,679 Speaker 2: got smashed. You liberals particularly got smashed. Go away, sort 1682 01:19:33,720 --> 01:19:35,280 Speaker 2: out a few policies, come back and we'll have a 1683 01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:37,800 Speaker 2: chin wag instead of the whole we're not dealing with 1684 01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:40,519 Speaker 2: you anymore. And then having done that, they then go, 1685 01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:42,360 Speaker 2: oh dear, this is a bit of a mess. Let's 1686 01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:44,559 Speaker 2: have some crisis talk. So what the hell's going on? 1687 01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:47,960 Speaker 20: Okay, well there's a bunch of different things to unpack there. 1688 01:19:48,439 --> 01:19:50,280 Speaker 20: I wasn't aware of this, but David little Proud, the 1689 01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:54,080 Speaker 20: National's leader, the junior coalnition partner, Susan Lee, the brand new, 1690 01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:57,680 Speaker 20: freshly minted Liberal leader, they hate each other. And that 1691 01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:00,360 Speaker 20: goes back to two thousand and one when Susan Lee 1692 01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:03,799 Speaker 20: stood for the Liberal Party in the New South Wales 1693 01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:06,920 Speaker 20: country seat of Farah and she won, and she's there 1694 01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:10,120 Speaker 20: twenty four years later. So National Party members are the 1695 01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:13,040 Speaker 20: country members over here. They've got long memories. They don't 1696 01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:15,519 Speaker 20: like Susan Lee because she pinched a Bush seat for 1697 01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:19,280 Speaker 20: the Liberal Party. So that's that background of personalities. Little 1698 01:20:19,320 --> 01:20:21,640 Speaker 20: Proud is a little man. He's just a clown of 1699 01:20:21,640 --> 01:20:25,479 Speaker 20: a bloke. Barnaby Joyce, the National Party had some sort 1700 01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:29,240 Speaker 20: of presence. This guy, this Pence, narrow, little bloke from Queensland. 1701 01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:31,840 Speaker 20: He was you know, he threw his toys out of 1702 01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:34,280 Speaker 20: the cot on Tuesday and when all of a sudden 1703 01:20:34,280 --> 01:20:36,760 Speaker 20: they realized, hang on a second, we're the junior. This 1704 01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:39,040 Speaker 20: is the tail waggon that we're trying to wag the dog, 1705 01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:41,880 Speaker 20: and he and his team they scuttled back to the 1706 01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:44,920 Speaker 20: National Party caucus room, all eleven of them or something. 1707 01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:46,920 Speaker 20: They realized all of a sudden they wouldn't get the 1708 01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:49,880 Speaker 20: pay rises that come with being shadow ministers, and they said, oh, 1709 01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:51,920 Speaker 20: hang on a second, we actually haven't got any saying 1710 01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:55,600 Speaker 20: in parliament. In the Senate, they didn't even have party status. 1711 01:20:56,080 --> 01:20:57,800 Speaker 20: So they said, oh, hang on, Dave, you better go 1712 01:20:57,880 --> 01:21:00,840 Speaker 20: back and kissed Susan on the backside. Sorry, let'skiss and 1713 01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:04,559 Speaker 20: make up. It is absolutely a shambles. And just imagine 1714 01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:06,759 Speaker 20: if the Conservative side of politics out of here splits 1715 01:21:06,800 --> 01:21:09,920 Speaker 20: into two little rumps, Anthony Albaneza will be in Prime 1716 01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:10,759 Speaker 20: minister until. 1717 01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:13,160 Speaker 2: Fifty Yeah, exactly, it's funny. 1718 01:21:13,160 --> 01:21:14,040 Speaker 3: It's stupid. 1719 01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:17,000 Speaker 2: The Michelle Bullock, who I've got a lot of time 1720 01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:19,479 Speaker 2: for as the RB governor. So she cuts again and 1721 01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:22,920 Speaker 2: this commentary she ran that there's more where that came 1722 01:21:22,920 --> 01:21:25,080 Speaker 2: from if we need it. That indicates to me that 1723 01:21:25,160 --> 01:21:28,120 Speaker 2: things aren't that flash, which then dovetails into the election 1724 01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:30,559 Speaker 2: and the conversation you and I have had a million 1725 01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:32,519 Speaker 2: times leading up to it. That elbow's a bit on 1726 01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:34,720 Speaker 2: the nose, the economy is not that good and he 1727 01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:37,400 Speaker 2: might be in for a close run thing. Contrast what 1728 01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:39,640 Speaker 2: actually happened. These are fascinating times. 1729 01:21:40,200 --> 01:21:41,400 Speaker 3: Oh, there's no doubt about it. 1730 01:21:42,040 --> 01:21:45,120 Speaker 20: To your first point about Michelle Bullock, what a breadth 1731 01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:47,639 Speaker 20: of fresh air. I mean, she's actually out there addressing 1732 01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:50,880 Speaker 20: the media after the Reserve Bank decisions, explaining what the 1733 01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:53,960 Speaker 20: Bank Board has done and why they've done it. Inflation 1734 01:21:54,120 --> 01:21:56,960 Speaker 20: is within that target band that's come down, notwithstanding the 1735 01:21:57,040 --> 01:22:01,160 Speaker 20: fact employment's been bloody strong over here. Jobs are out 1736 01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:03,479 Speaker 20: there to be had. So that was a big worry that, 1737 01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:07,320 Speaker 20: you know, the very strong, continuing strong employment would really 1738 01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:10,519 Speaker 20: put in upward pressure on inflation. That hasn't happened. She's 1739 01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:12,760 Speaker 20: very happy, the board is very happy with where we're at. 1740 01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:14,840 Speaker 20: The big well, I suppose there are two big things. 1741 01:22:15,160 --> 01:22:19,160 Speaker 20: The enormous spending promises made by labor and by the opposition, 1742 01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:20,760 Speaker 20: of course, and the lead up to the election, how 1743 01:22:20,760 --> 01:22:22,400 Speaker 20: are we going to pay for those? And of course 1744 01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:25,040 Speaker 20: Donald Trump and the tariffs. What's going to happen globally 1745 01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:27,920 Speaker 20: because Australia is a trade dependent economy. We need other 1746 01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:30,960 Speaker 20: markets to buy our stuff, and you know China's going 1747 01:22:30,960 --> 01:22:32,920 Speaker 20: to keep buying. But you have to look beyond China 1748 01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:36,160 Speaker 20: because if China's going to be whacked with the US tariffs, 1749 01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:37,760 Speaker 20: that're going to be buying as much iron ore and 1750 01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:39,160 Speaker 20: coal and whatnot. 1751 01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:42,320 Speaker 3: So look it is. There are many balls in the air, 1752 01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:43,519 Speaker 3: but I think you're one. 1753 01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:47,000 Speaker 20: Hundred percent right, Michelle Bullock a very capable set of 1754 01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:49,160 Speaker 20: hands at a very difficult and challenging time. 1755 01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:51,280 Speaker 2: You're a very capable set of hands as well, Murray, 1756 01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:53,519 Speaker 2: and good looking. So you have a good even good week. 1757 01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:56,439 Speaker 2: Is nice to see Murray els goss A Testament eight 1758 01:22:56,479 --> 01:22:57,280 Speaker 2: forty five. 1759 01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:03,040 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Fall Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1760 01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:04,040 Speaker 1: by News Talks. 1761 01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:07,639 Speaker 2: At B Mike Dannel and Vicargoll at the Oyster Festival 1762 01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:10,240 Speaker 2: wanted into an impromptu performance by Jenny Mitchell, who I've 1763 01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:12,200 Speaker 2: never heard of. What A voice talked to her after 1764 01:23:12,240 --> 01:23:14,160 Speaker 2: the show suggested she should see if she can perform 1765 01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:17,120 Speaker 2: on your show. Apparently she already has when she released 1766 01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:18,880 Speaker 2: the previous Helping Me she has. We checked that house 1767 01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:21,559 Speaker 2: back in twenty twenty two, she has a new one out. 1768 01:23:21,960 --> 01:23:25,320 Speaker 2: She was with Jack on Saturday morning recently. Mike, how 1769 01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:27,920 Speaker 2: can you give the budget a seven? It's marking the 1770 01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:31,000 Speaker 2: week when government debt our debt is increasing by seventy 1771 01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:32,960 Speaker 2: three billion by twenty twenty nine. We all know there's 1772 01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:35,000 Speaker 2: a waste in this budget. But rather than cutting, we 1773 01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:37,799 Speaker 2: just keep borrowing more and more. It's a fair question, 1774 01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:40,400 Speaker 2: and I would have if they had gone harder, I 1775 01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:43,280 Speaker 2: would have given it an eight or nine. But you've 1776 01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:47,080 Speaker 2: got to understand in any given budget there's a political component, 1777 01:23:47,160 --> 01:23:49,640 Speaker 2: and the political component is that we are in so 1778 01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:53,160 Speaker 2: much fiscal trouble that really cutting to the bone, like 1779 01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:56,920 Speaker 2: really going hell for leather to doze, it would cost 1780 01:23:56,960 --> 01:23:59,840 Speaker 2: the government political support. Because as much as you and 1781 01:23:59,840 --> 01:24:02,240 Speaker 2: I I might you know, like to cut our cloth 1782 01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:05,519 Speaker 2: appropriately in a conservative fashion, there are no shortage of 1783 01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:08,080 Speaker 2: people who go I want some money, I like some money. 1784 01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:10,800 Speaker 2: I am reliant on money. You know, this working for 1785 01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:14,920 Speaker 2: families thing is John Key once called it communism by stealth, 1786 01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:17,400 Speaker 2: and he was right. And you've got part of the 1787 01:24:17,439 --> 01:24:19,920 Speaker 2: announcement yesterday. It was fourteen dollars. There's one hundred and 1788 01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:23,719 Speaker 2: forty two thousand families who suddenly got fourteen dollars more 1789 01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:26,439 Speaker 2: and that's one hundred and forty two thousand families ago. 1790 01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:28,800 Speaker 2: Thank you very much. I'll take that. And if you 1791 01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:30,800 Speaker 2: went to them and said, nah, you can give us 1792 01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:32,720 Speaker 2: that back. And by the way, working for families is off, 1793 01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:35,599 Speaker 2: they go what happened there? And there's a political component, 1794 01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:37,679 Speaker 2: so you've got to take that into account. I note 1795 01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:40,760 Speaker 2: this week, interestingly enough, they have announced or they had 1796 01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:43,760 Speaker 2: a boat. American Football NFL. They had a boat on 1797 01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:45,280 Speaker 2: a number of things. One of the things they kept 1798 01:24:45,360 --> 01:24:48,120 Speaker 2: was the tushbush, which would be follow NFL is a 1799 01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:49,880 Speaker 2: weird thing. And I won't explain it if you don't 1800 01:24:49,880 --> 01:24:53,320 Speaker 2: follow NFL because it doesn't matter. But it's slightly controversial. 1801 01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:55,639 Speaker 2: I don't see why it's so controversial. It's a play. 1802 01:24:56,240 --> 01:24:59,040 Speaker 2: It was made famous by the Philadelphia Eagles.
