00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 2: Welcome today, but coin us through one hundred k is

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 2: part of the Trump month. The Police Minister on the

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,240
Speaker 2: commissioners claim the five hundred promise might be a bit

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: of an issue, The Boss of Auckland FC on their

8
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: unreal debut this season, and the local barby Part two.

9
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: This weekend, we've got the Prime Minister in for a

10
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 2: Christmas bybye, Tim and Katy be the week of not

11
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: the Year, Richard Arnold Murriol as they wrap it up

12
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 2: from offshore as well tasking it is seven past six.

13
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 2: Welcome to the day. I tell you what we did

14
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: in the last week or so. We paid our last

15
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: school fees ever ever. Get this term out of the

16
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: way and the high school years at our house are

17
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 2: over one of the great insights we've been lucky enough

18
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: to have over the years. As having five kids, you

19
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,639
Speaker 2: see a lot of school and you see a lot

20
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 2: of schools. We pretty much touched every part of the

21
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: New Zealand education system. We've been to private school, public school,

22
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: integrated school, single sex, co ed. We've been to primary, intermediate,

23
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: and high schoo We've been to good schools, ordinary schools,

24
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 2: exceptional schools. The overarching view is severalfold. One principles make

25
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,119
Speaker 2: or break a place. We have seen a school whose

26
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 2: reputation had been good suffered badly when the principal left

27
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: and the replacement wasn't seen as particularly good, only to

28
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 2: see it markedly improve when a new one came along

29
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: with a fresh focus and affirmed determination. Two. Private schools

30
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: buys you options and things like extra help and facilities.

31
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: Money buys choice and expertise. Three teachers very dramatically. In

32
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: all schools, we've seen a selection of everything from lazy

33
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: to brilliant, from effective to hopeless.

34
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 3: Four.

35
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 2: All kids are different, Possibly the most enlightening thing of all.

36
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 2: A school isn't a one stop shop. We had kids

37
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 2: at a school you might have thought would do at all.

38
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: For one child it was it was brilliant. For another,

39
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: it was a mistake. Five. A lot of it's down

40
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: to the child. I'm convinced a child who is determined

41
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: will succeed in any school. A brilliant kid who can't

42
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: be bothered won't. Six parents have to be engaged. School

43
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: has become a whipping boy, a social welfare department. They're

44
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: expected to take on any kid with any problem from

45
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 2: any home and fix them. That attitude is criminal, and

46
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 2: too often it's led by shocking parenting. Seven. There is

47
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 2: too much wastage. Take the stuff out of the day

48
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: that isn't needed. You'd be at school. I reckon about

49
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: two hours a day. We can do way better.

50
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 4: Eight.

51
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: I'm not sure it's all that different than twenty twenty

52
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: four from when I was there in eighty one. Good

53
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: teachers are rare, Most schools are fine. Most kids would

54
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: rather play sport. Essentially, like life, you get out of

55
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: it what you put into it. The only major difference

56
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: is you pay a shed load more now than you

57
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 2: used to.

58
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: News of the world in ninety seconds.

59
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 2: Korea will end the week with an impeachment vote. They're

60
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: still trying to work out what the hell the president

61
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: thought he was doing.

62
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 5: My wife suddenly showed me a YouTube video and said,

63
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 5: the president is declaring martial law. I replied, that's a

64
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 5: deep thke. It has to be a deep thke. There's

65
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 5: no way that's real.

66
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 4: But it was.

67
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 2: Side saw the new Trump. She has arrived on the hill,

68
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: the Doge squad of meeting the lawmakers.

69
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 3: You want to cut to Jillian.

70
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 6: We've got to get in here, guys, but we'll look

71
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 6: forward to continue to discuss.

72
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 7: Last question, how do you convince lawmakers who will not

73
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 7: help you in this effort?

74
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 8: But can you say to persuade them to work with you?

75
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: Thank you, guys, we appreciate it. John Fitterman, who's a

76
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: Democrat bit and a is he really kind of way?

77
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 2: I seems to like Elonin Babee.

78
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 9: I don't know why it's controversial to eliminate waste. So

79
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 9: I mean, that's not revolutionary. It's not controversial, and I

80
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,119
Speaker 9: think anybody could support making our government more efficient.

81
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: This particular Trump loves it as well.

82
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 7: I believe we are upon the most transformational period in

83
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 7: our country's history, basically since our inception. Donald Trump calls

84
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 7: it the Golden Age of America. But it starts with doje.

85
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: That's Larra by the way. Then a Britain couple of

86
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: things won justin will be popped by the lords to

87
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: say bye bye.

88
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 10: A shame of what has gone or wrong, whether one

89
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 10: is personally responsible or not, must require a head to

90
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 10: row and there is only in this case one head

91
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 10: that rolls well enough.

92
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: And Sakia gave what some are describing as an emergency

93
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: relaunch speech. Given things have been shite.

94
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 11: If there was no jeopardy, if there was no resistance,

95
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 11: no blockages or impediments for us to remove, then as

96
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 11: sure as night follows day, that will be a sign

97
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 11: that we're not serious about delivering change.

98
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 2: Finally, pent Town or pent Toone, depending on how you

99
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 2: say it. Pentiny, for You're in Italy is named It's

100
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: color of next year mockamous, as you winner, It's an

101
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 2: evocative soft brown is mockamus. It's described as a mellow

102
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 2: brown infused with a sensual and comforting warmth that merges

103
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: with its suggestion of delectable quality of cara, chocolate and coffee,

104
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: appealing to our desire for comfort that the executive director

105
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: of the company says it evokes thoughtful indulgence. It's sophisticated

106
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: and last year at the same time in an uncontentious

107
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 2: classic not unlike myself. News of the world and marketing bollocksy.

108
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 2: I've got to read a news fore you're on oil opek. Plus,

109
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: they postponed their plans to unwind several formal involuntary crew

110
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 2: production cuts that were going to cut it. And you

111
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: know what that means. With the price, They've got to

112
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: what they call a lukewarm outlook for global demand on oil.

113
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: So they're now restricting combined production to a bit over

114
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 2: thirty nine million barrels a day and they will do

115
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 2: that until the end of December twenty twenty six, twelve

116
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 2: past six.

117
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, how

118
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: It By News Talk.

119
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 2: Zippy standing by for Macron'. When I say standing by,

120
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 2: it will be later because they do everything at night

121
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: in France. But after Barney lost his vote yesterday, Macron's

122
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 2: got to address the French people, the defense minister, the

123
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: Interior minister, possibly a guy called Baru who was a

124
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 2: former presidential candidate of the hot favorites. I use that

125
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 2: word loosely to replace Barnier. Barnies stays on in caretaker

126
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 2: role until Macrong gets is act together. Fifteen past six,

127
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 2: right over from Jami Wealth. Oh my god, it can't

128
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:06,239
Speaker 2: be now hold on making a rare appearance in twenty

129
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 2: twenty four Andrew Keller, welcome back.

130
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 12: Yeah, I found my way back.

131
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 8: Mike had to figure out all how everything worked.

132
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: Was the how was the mighty South Carolina?

133
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 8: South Carolina absolutely fascinating, Mike, fascinating. Yeah, you got to

134
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,679
Speaker 8: remember South Carolina. This was Trump territory, right sixty forty

135
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 8: to Trump is South Carolina. And I was there. I

136
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 8: was all over this shop. I was in Charleston. I

137
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 8: was in a lake called Lake Kiwi. I was in

138
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 8: a little town called Spartanburgen. Honestly, Mike, I thought I'd

139
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 8: be descending into a hot bed of political discourse and disharmony.

140
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 8: And you know what, Mike, I had more conversations about

141
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 8: US politics and one day here in New Zealand than

142
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 8: I did in eight days in South Carolina. They just

143
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 8: just didn't seem to be a focus of conversation. I

144
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 8: thought I'd see more overt evidence of Trump's support, just

145
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 8: didn't see it. Hundreds of kilometersving, Mike, do you know

146
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 8: how many Trump flags I saw flying outside people's houses?

147
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 2: Thirty three two wow.

148
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 8: Two two not a Magahattan side. So lots of American flags,

149
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 8: the odd Confederate flag, which is a little bit disturbing,

150
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 8: but it just seems through businesses usual, mate. I guess

151
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 8: you've got to remember this is where Trump won the race.

152
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 8: This was mainstream Bible Belt America. It's not California, it's

153
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 8: not New Walk. Church is omnipresent. I was in this

154
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 8: little town called Spartan Boom, Mike. It is littered with churches,

155
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 8: multiple denominations. If I had to characterize, if I had

156
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 8: to put things in order in these small towns, in

157
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 8: small town America, it's family, it's faith, it's football, and

158
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 8: then it's politics. You know, here's an anecdote, Mike. I

159
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 8: flipped on the television in the hotel room. I thought

160
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 8: I'd better catch up with the news. How many channels

161
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 8: did I have to go through before I got something

162
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 8: that wasn't football. Fourteen channels of football before I hit

163
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 8: you know, before I hit news. Hey, look, look seriously,

164
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 8: people we're talking. Cost of living was an issue I saw.

165
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 8: I don't know how reputable it is, but I saw

166
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 8: something on the television about the cost of a Thanksgiving dinner.

167
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 8: And in the last two years it's up nineteen percent.

168
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 8: And that's what That's what sort of people were focused on.

169
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 8: Things were more expensive, but people seem generally optimistic. You

170
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 8: would be surprised at this, Mike, you would be surprised

171
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 8: at this. Probably not, But there was little or no

172
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 8: talk about climate change. And this is this isn't this is.

173
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 8: This is in an area that's been ravaged by the hurricane.

174
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 8: And yet what do you see? Everywhere your head turns,

175
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 8: what do you see?

176
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 13: You see another fort f one fifty vad.

177
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 8: You need another six liter pickup truck, you know, guzzling

178
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 8: the gas and heading down the highway. Nobody's talking about

179
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 8: climate change. But small town America is different, Mic, I

180
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 8: mean Spartanburg, small town. Forty thousand people go to the

181
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 8: outskirts of town. There's a BMW plant, eight million square

182
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 8: feet of factories, eleven thousand people working in there.

183
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: Small town America is different. Fascinating though, loved, fantastic. Glad

184
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:02,599
Speaker 2: you enjoyed it. That's where they make their rescue of

185
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 2: these because now bring it back home, just quickly. Building work,

186
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: Where are we at?

187
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 12: Yeah?

188
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 8: I think I've talked about this before. It's sort of

189
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 8: the end to the yang of building consents. Building consents

190
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 8: give you a view of intended building work put in place,

191
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 8: tells you what's been done, and before you throw your

192
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 8: hands in the air in despair because the data is

193
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 8: not great this dart of September quarter. It won't be

194
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 8: lost on listeners that it's almost Christmas now, so it's

195
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 8: quite dated. Look, I think we're probably in the sort

196
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 8: of the September quarder was probably the troth in terms

197
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 8: of the economic scorecard. Total construction activity fell three point

198
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 8: two percent, or big falls in both residential and commercial building,

199
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 8: although commercial building a bit more resilient. Look, I suspect

200
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 8: the outcome was also probably below economist expectations.

201
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: Residential construction fell three and a half percent.

202
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 8: That's the fifth consecutive quarter of decline residential activity. It's

203
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 8: down twenty percent from the peak. Total activity is down

204
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 8: fourteen percent. You've seen a bigger fall in that in

205
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 8: building consent, so you do wonder whether or not there

206
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 8: is still a bit of runway.

207
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 2: On this look.

208
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 8: I suspect there won't be much improvement in building were

209
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 8: put in place in the fourth quarter, But you think

210
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 8: that with improved sentiment lower interest rates, we will make

211
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 8: a difference sort of next year. But you know, it's

212
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 8: evidence that it has been a pretty tough time.

213
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: For the building in exactly right, We've got a motor.

214
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 2: Give us the numbers.

215

Speaker 2: You're a good man. I love you like a brother.

233
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 2: Well done this year. If you've done your Spotify.

00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 2: We'll catch up in tay five. Very shad as always

Speaker 2: you do. Andrew kellaher Joemiwealth dot Co dot m Z.

238
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: I did give you a contrast. It gave you the

239
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 2: in New Zealand numbers a couple of days ago. So

240
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 2: demand is down and they're changing their schedule. I took

241
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 2: the Prime Minister about that later on actually, but Southwest

242
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 2: this morning and American have said better than expected results

243
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: in the fourth courter. They're still booming and probably one

244
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 2: of the great talking points of the year. Prescriptions for

245
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 2: weight loss medications more than doubled this year, even with

246
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 2: limited insurance coverage. This is out of the States and

247
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: the cost we're gob zip bound. All of those GLP

248
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 2: one pills list prices of roughly one thousand dollars a

249
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 2: month before insurance and savings. They've still more than doubled.

Speaker 1: powered by the News Talks.

254
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 2: It'd be Hi MICUs, this is your last morning. You

255
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 2: deserve a break. But how are we going to survive

256
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 2: without you? Razor sharp mind and critique of our political

257
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 2: and social circumstances. I think you'll survive growing. But you're

258
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 2: very nice morning, Mike. Thanks for keeping it real for

259
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 2: us this year. You have a wave cutting through the

260
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 2: crap and giving us the true story. Very kind morning.

261
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 2: Mike's Spotify wrapped one hundred and six thousand, eight hundred

262

Speaker 2: twenty five trending.

265
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: Now will the yemstware house great savings every.

266
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: Day if you've missed it. Scrap between George Russell and

267
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 2: Russell and Max Verstappen relatively rare, given most in the

268
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 2: F one Paddick actually get on fine anyway. For stapphin

269
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 2: got poll last weekend ahead of Russell. Mercedes challenged it

270
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 2: said that Verstappen deliberately slowed him down. Red Bull won that,

271
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 2: but for Stappen basically called Russell of winer and he'd

272
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: never seen anyone try to undermine a person. At the

273
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 2: Steward's the way he had, he'd lost all respect for him.

274
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 2: Fast forward to this morning Abu Dhabi Final meetably here

275
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 2: Russell was asked if it's all good.

276
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 14: I've known Max for twelve years. I've respected him all

277
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 14: of his time, but now I've lost respect for him

278
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 14: because we're all fighting on track and he's never personal.

279
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 14: Now he's made it personal and someone needs to stand

280
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 14: up to a bully like this, and so far people

281
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 14: that let him get away with murder. What he was

282
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 14: doing was pretty clear. He was going too slow and

283
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 14: he was on the racing line and we all have

284
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 14: the rules to follow and he doesn't follow it. So,

285
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 14: as I said, it's I find his comments pretty ironic

286
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 14: when he comes out and says I'm going to purposefully

287
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 14: crash into you. I'm going to put you on your

288
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 14: own head.

289
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 4: In the wall.

290
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 14: For me, that is unacceptable. And he's gone beyond the

291
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,599
Speaker 14: line here. So somebody's got a stand up to a

292
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 14: guy like this before he gets out of control.

293
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 2: So that was put to the step and while he

294
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 2: was doing some Dutch media, he says, quite that's absolutely

295
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 2: not right. Of course he does not like it, but

296
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 2: that's the same as what he did with the stewards,

297
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 2: lying and putting things together that don't make sense. He's

298
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: just a snake in the grass. The drive to survive

299
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 2: guys will be wetting their pants of course. So final

300
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 2: weekend for Liam, of course, so we wish him well

301
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 2: there because he's been one of the great stories of

302
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 2: the year in terms of sport in general. The meeting

303
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: is going to be held on the ninth for Checko,

304
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 2: so there seems to be no farewell for him this weekend.

305
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 2: That'll be decided next week. The announcement will be made

306
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: that he's off. Maybe he stays in the wider Red

307
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 2: Bull family in some sort of promotional capacity, kind of

308
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 2: like Daniel Ricardo did, and you would expect it's a

309
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: Sonoda test and if that goes unbelievably well, maybe Sonoda

310
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 2: gets the seat. But it all bets seem to be

311
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,360

Speaker 2: You're my boyfriend. Turn it down so well.

332
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 15: Sorry not baby Reindier, I guess Mike.

333
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 2: Mike, one hundred k is not a lot of listening time.

334
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 2: I managed to a mass one hundred and forty two

335
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: thousand minutes, six hours a day, three indre and sixty

336
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: five days.

337
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 15: I don't think you went trying to say this as

338
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 15: a competition after all, I mean in the car where

339
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 15: some people are listening to Spotify. You're, of course, are

340
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 15: listening to your stick So.

341
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, precisely. Yeah, but one hundred and forty six hours

342
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 2: a day, three hundred and sixty five. As I say,

343
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 2: I'm going to be interested in Katie's numbers because she

344
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: runs the music in our house and it's pretty much

345
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 2: runs all day every day. So we might be up

346
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: with but I don't for now, I don't believe you.

347
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 2: Twenty two to seven. Now, I noticed there's last Killer

348
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 2: in New York. Obviously they're talking a lot about Richard Arnold.

349
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 2: Shortly meantime back here Crypto, if you haven't followed as

350
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: having a moment, Bitcoin broake through one hundred thousand dollars

351
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 2: at US this week. A lot of the recent rally

352
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 2: is off the back of the Trump victory, of course,

353
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 2: because he's pro crypto. Bitcoins up one hundred and forty

354
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 2: percent on the year. Easy Crypto chief commercial officer Paul

355
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 2: quickened in the ears. Well, there's Paul. Very good morning

356
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 2: to you.

357
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 4: Good morning, how are you.

358
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 2: I'm very well and do thank you? Have all the

359
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 2: others gone with bitcoin or is it highly variable?

360
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 3: No?

361
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 16: Most of the older, more established coins are starting to

362
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 16: go as well. And there's been a couple of real

363
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 16: standouts that were really under the cost from the SEC

364
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 16: who you know, done a big chain of political dynamic

365
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 16: in the US, and they're kind of been unleashed.

366
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 4: Let's just say so, no, not alone.

367
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 2: How much is the Trump factor?

368
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 16: Well, I think it's fair to say that it was

369
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 16: a political thing in the US for the election, and

370
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 16: now it's become Jilliot geopolitical. He's openly said he wants

371
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 16: the US to become the crypto capital of the world.

372
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 16: The UK is going we want a piece of that.

373
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 16: Action in China and no surprises changed its laws to

374
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 16: allow crypto as well. So it's becoming a much bigger

375
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 16: global phenomenon.

376
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 2: Has it arrived as a result of all of this?

377
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 2: Is this the tipping point or not?

378
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 16: Look, I would suggest that the tipping point was when

379
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 16: the ets were approved in January, you know, when black

380
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 16: Rock and Fidelity and the biggest asset images in the world.

381
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 16: That the tip of approval finally, and then it's simply

382
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 16: just cascaded on from there.

383
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 2: Okay, explain to us for people who don't follow it.

384
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 2: The crypto, the digital currencies, the digital currencies that the

385
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 2: central banks are talking about.

386
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 16: Yeah, so crypto is more open in free trading. It's

387
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 16: i'm a distributed network, which means that no one really

388
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 16: controls it. It's just software, whereas a central back digital

389
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 16: currency may or may not use the same sort of technology,

390
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 16: but it's controlled obviously by a central bank.

391
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I get that. But does the central bank

392
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 2: kill crypto or damage crypto?

393
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 16: Well, it's a great question. Lots of people are thinking

394
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 16: about it. I think they will coexist if they come

395
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 16: to the fore Many countries are killing off the central

396
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 16: bank programs at the moment. In the US is obviously

397
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 16: the fore runner for that, but they're all kind of

398
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 16: asking why, and they can't really come up with a

399
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 16: good use case for why at the moment.

400
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 2: What's the big deal for a person like you. Is

401
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 2: it the value of say bitcoin, and we go whoo

402
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 2: it's one hundred thousand, or is it the legitimacy that's

403
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 2: more important?

404
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 4: Well, fantastic question.

405
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 16: Look, hundred k was kind of a mythical number that

406
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 16: was always set there, so for people who've been in

407
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 16: the industry a really long time, it's a big, big thing.

408
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 16: I think it's also one of these real validation steps

409
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 16: in a lifetime, and we'll look back at it and go,

410
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 16: that was the moment, so like it's a better both. Mike,

411
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 16: I think good stuff.

412
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,280

Speaker 2: uptick in sales, very broad based as well, which is encouraging.

420
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 2: The Reserve Bank's got something to do with that. Retailer

421
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 2: is much more upbeat than expected. Retail businesses demand was

422
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 2: up nineteen percent in November. Construction not good, freight not good,

423
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 2: Manufacturing not good. But overall there is some light at

424
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 2: the end of the tunnel. So we'll take that, won't we.

445
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 17: this murder of top insurance industry bus Brian Thompson outside

446
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 17: the New York Hotel have released these two new photos

447
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 17: showing at least part of the young man's They also

448
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 17: have gone to a hostel where the shoot ha stayed

449
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 17: for a couple of days. For most of that period

450
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 17: he kept on a black mast under his hoodie, but

451
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 17: at the front desk there were moments when he let

452
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 17: the mask slip, and so we have these photos in

453
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 17: the city of Cameras. There are now more and more

454
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 17: clues in this manhunted. Was apparent from the start, of course,

455
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 17: that this was a target of killing the gun and

456
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 17: was waiting for Brian Thompson as he was heading into

457
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 17: a hotel for an industry presentation. Then he shot him

458
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 17: several times in the back, fixing his gun when it

459
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 17: appeared to jam for a brief moment during the attack.

460
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 17: Police now have found some bullet casings and there are

461
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 17: messages on the bullets. They read delay, deny and depose.

462
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 17: So these appear to be references to the ways that

463
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 17: health insurance companies seek to avoid paying patients claims. The

464
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 17: company that this coo led, United Healthcare, has come in

465
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 17: for some fierce criticism at times from patients and lawmakers

466
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 17: and others for denial of claims. The victim's wife, Paulette,

467
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 17: has made a brief statement, Now.

468
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 4: Brian was a wonderful person with a big heart and

469
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 4: who've lived life to the fullest.

470
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 17: She and her husband were separated some time ago. She

471
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 17: also has said that they had been threats to a husband,

472
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 17: but says she never knew any details.

473
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 2: Okay, well, so, where guys is Higgsith gunnis about?

474
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 17: He's on thin ice, isn't he. Yeah, he's back on

475
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 17: Capitol Hill at the minute, trying to salvage the whole thing.

476
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 17: Senah Republicans are not talking because they never do on

477
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 17: these matters, but Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal says this about

478
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 17: the circumstance that Higgsith and I was facing.

479
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 18: I've talked to five to ten Republicans who have said

480
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 18: to me they're just waiting for the right moment to

481
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 18: say no to Pete has said, and for very good reasons.

482
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 13: Why do you think so few Republicans none by my count,

483
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 13: have been willing to come out and say they will

484
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,719
Speaker 13: definitively not support this nominate.

485
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 18: Nobody wants to defy Donald Trump.

486
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 17: Higgs Sith says he spoke with Trump, who told him, hy.

487
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 5: Pete, I got your back.

488
00:22:58,400 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: It's a fight.

489
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 5: They're coming out a few get after it.

490
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 13: Got you back.

491
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 17: Well, there are reports that Trump has raised with his

492
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 17: campaign for Ron decentus that he might take the defense job. Also,

493
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 17: Trump has not been on the phones trying to persuade

494
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 17: Senators to support Higgsseeth. We hear as additional stories emerge

495
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 17: about drinking and mismanagement. The two small veterans group that

496
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 17: Heigseth was forced from wound up in pretty dire financial straits.

497
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 17: Heiseth says if he gets the top defense job, he

498
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 17: will no longer touch any alcohols.

499
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 13: The biggest deployment of my life and there won't be

500
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 13: a drop of alcohol on my lips while I'm doing it.

501
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 17: So is in alcoholic? Would he be awakened alert if

502
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 17: some defense crisis erupted after ours? His mom, of course,

503
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 17: also went on Fox News yesterday to vouch for him

504
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 17: after she wrote that letter years ago slamming his behavior.

505
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 5: It is a new person. He's redeemed forgiven changed.

506
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 17: So that's the first is and Mike likes of Don

507
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:58,719
Speaker 17: rumsfeldtic Cheney never had their mums making television appearances like that.

508
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 2: One go well, Michael Ketchupe appreciate it as always. Richard

509
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 2: Arnold stateside for another year. By the way, there's always

510
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 2: one Mattel Remember we told you about Mattel. What was

511
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 2: maybe a couple of months ago. The Wicked kund of

512
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 2: have been a couple of months ago, maybe a month ago.

513
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 2: So Wicked came out and Mattel did some dolls. The

514
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 2: website on the box for the dolls was a porn site.

515
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 2: Holly Rickittson is the one who's hired a lawyer, gone

516
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 2: with the civil lawsuit overnight, so she bought the doll

517
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 2: for her daughter, who then went straight, of course, to

518
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 2: the adults website. They were horrified, quote unquote horrified by

519
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 2: what they saw. They suffered emotional stress. So the court

520
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 2: documents the pornographic website was an inexcusable error which rendered

521
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 2: the dolls unfit for their intended purpose. I don't know

522
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 2: whether we're going to do with the dolls. They also

523
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 2: claimed the company was not offering any refunds, and they've

524
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 2: suited for the five million dollars. That should rectify. I

525
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 2: think it was nicely. Eleven Away from seven.

526
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 1: Called the Mike hosting Breakfast with the Range Rover.

527
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 2: The line News talks edb Mike, you get me out

528
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 2: of bed every morning. Absolutely love you show. You deal

529
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 2: with so many idiots, but still managed to present things

530
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 2: with clear eyes. Amazing case.

531
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 15: Are they referring to me?

532
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 2: I haven't well, Glenn of the Shoe Fits, I listened

533
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 2: to these enormous Spotify numbers. Mike can think get a life?

534
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 2: Ever read a real book? Well here comes the pushback.

535
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 2: Just small.

536
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 15: You can actually listen to Spotify while you're reading a book.

537
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 2: Exactly was my point. So all my Spotify minutes are

538
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 2: either in the car or so I'm driving and listening,

539
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 2: or in the snooker hall, so you can do more

540
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 2: than one thing at a time. Jan Dawson, well done,

541
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 2: Port of Bokland Chairperson. This was the Deloitte Top two

542
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 2: hundred winners last night. So Jan is the Chairperson of

543
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 2: the year. Fonterra, perhaps not surprisingly, is the company of

544
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 2: the year. What they are doing for the New Zealand

545
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 2: economy far less the farmer needs needs to be dipped

546
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 2: in gold several times over most improved performance a two

547
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 2: milk good because they've been a story and so once

548
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 2: again Dairy farming Land Rural Chairperson of the Year. Jan

549
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,160

550
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 2: as in the Mowbrays, as in Zuru. So that's good.

551
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 2: They're a good story. Chief Executive the Year once again.

552
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 2: Not I wouldn't have thought surprising Miles Hurrel who has

553
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 2: taken that company. Not that the company was particularly troubled,

554
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 2: but old Tao. You know, really, if you want to

555
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 2: talk about whoops, did we really employ him? If you

556
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 2: want to talk about one of those stories, then Miles

557
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 2: comes along and he he's filled the place with rocket fuel.

558
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 2: Judges Recognition Award and much deserve goes to Oliver Hartwood,

559
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,200

560
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 2: for this country than you realize if you're not, if

561
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 2: you're not reading what he writes, and the New Zealand

562
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 2: Initiative does some wonderful work, but he does a tremendous

563
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 2: amount of writing that you can easily access publicly, whether

564
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 2: it be on the Herald of various other websites, and

565
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 2: the amount of sense he has a very good insight

566
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 2: into Europe as well, being European himself, and Europe is

567
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 2: a place you want to watch, not any now, but

568
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 2: well into the next couple of years, given not only

569
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 2: the war but the sort of implosion of the place.

570
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 2: So he got the Judge's recognition awards, So well done

571
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,119

00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 2: the warehouse. They've done their annual Christmas survey and what

577
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 2: they found. A sixty six percent of us say we

578
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,679

584
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 2: little plastic It would have a half life. My guess

585
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: is of two hundred and seventy five thousand years, full

586
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 2: of so much Chinese plastic. It is really as rubbish,

Speaker 2: their pets. Thirty four percent say they don't do stockings

604
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,960

00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,040

Speaker 2: On average, we're looking to spend three hundred and eighty

611
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,440

619
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 2: Then he turns up at Scrutiny Week and he drops

620
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 2: the big bombshell. So what's happening with the five hundred?

621
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 2: Mark Mitchell? After the News which is next, he reduced

622
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 2: talk said, there.

623
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: The breakfast show you can trust the mic Hosking Breakfast

624
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: with a Veta Retirement, Communities, Life Your Way News togs head.

625
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 2: B seven past seven. Scrutiny Week at Parliament's tossed up

626
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 2: some interesting material, hasn't it, some of which popped up

627
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 2: yesterday Around policing and crime. Government's promise of five hundred

628
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: year police officers within two years might be an issue.

629
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 2: Prison might be full, as it turns out as soon

630
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 2: as due next year. Both issues fall under the watchfully

631
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 2: of course of the Police and Corrections Minister, who is

632
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 2: Mark Mitchell as well this morning to you.

633
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 19: Hey, good morning Mike.

634
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:21,479
Speaker 2: Did Chambers drop you in it?

635
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 4: No?

636
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 19: No, not at all. He was one hundred percent right.

637
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 19: What he said is that number one I've been very

638
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 19: hot on as well. We're definitely not dropping standards. In fact,

639
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 19: quite the opposite. The curriculum at the Police College went

640
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 19: from sixteen weeks to twenty weeks for more training. We

641
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 19: remain committed to that target of ten seven hundred eleven

642
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 19: police officers trained by November twenty twenty five. But of

643
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 19: course we knew that was always going to be ambitious,

644
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 19: but we remain committed to it. We'll get as close

645
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 19: to it as we can as you.

646
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 2: Sit here this morning. Is he right in saying what

647
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 2: he said yesterday? It's probably twenty twenty six.

648
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 4: No.

649
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 19: What they are talking about there is the funding, so

650
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 19: you've got to have funding in place. The funding is

651
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 19: the appropriation goes through to June twenty twenty sixth that's

652
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 19: what they were talking about. Everyone is absolutely committed and

653
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 19: still focused on delivering by twenty seventh and November twenty

654
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 19: twenty five. We know that it's aspirational. We know it'll

655
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 19: be tight, but we're committed to it. All the briefings

656
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 19: that I've had in Casey and the only reason why

657
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 19: Casey's talking to it, it's her delegation under the portfolio

658
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 19: is everyone is committed to it.

659
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 2: Well, they're committed to it. But do you need more money?

660
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 2: And if you need more money, will more money be

661
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 2: coming or no.

662
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 19: No, we don't need more money. All the money is there.

663
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 19: The money is there. We're just getting on with it.

664
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 19: And by the way, we've got a very strong pipeline

665
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 19: of police officers apply of people.

666
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 2: Pipeline.

667
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 19: No, there's a strong pipeline there. And all the advice

668
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 19: that we've had is that we're on track. We know

669
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 19: that it was no, No, he's not wrong, he's one

670
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:00,239
Speaker 19: hundred per right.

671
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 2: What can we right in? You're you're on tracking, you're

672
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 2: not on track? Which is it? You're either on tracking

673
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 2: you're not mark.

674
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 19: Well, we are on track, the police are on track.

675
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 19: That's the briefings of the information that we've had. And

676
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 19: I think what the Commission was saying, and I agree

677
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 19: with him, is that it's ambitious. We're not dropping standards. Absolutely,

678
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 19: we're not going to be doing that.

679
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 2: I get that you don't want to drop standards, but

680
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 2: when he says it's most likely to be the middle

681
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 2: of twenty six, if he's right in saying that, that's

682
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 2: a broken promise, isn't it.

683
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 19: I think that he was talking about the funding runs

684
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 19: through June twenty six.

685
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 2: All right, so you said here confidently this morning is

686
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 2: my Christmas present to the z B listeners. You will deliver.

687
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 2: I've promised five hundred by the end of next year.

688
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 19: That is what our target is. That's what we're working towards,

689
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 19: and we remain focused on that.

690
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 4: We've committed to that.

691
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 2: Okay, The thing is, there was the best and worst scenario,

692
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 2: you do we know which one it's going to be,

693
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 2: and if it's the worst, is that a problem?

694
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 19: No? No, there's going to be plenty capacity in our

695
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 19: in our corrections system. They've done an outstanding job. They're

696
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 19: bringing more beds online. We've got I was down at

697
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 19: Wykiria last week. We're bringing six hundred and fifty more

698
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 19: beds online down there, and we turned the side for

699
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 19: the for the next stage of the project, which will

700
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 19: do a further eight hundred and ten dats. So no,

701
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 19: we will on. Well, we've got plenty of capacity. Corrections

702
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 19: have been doing an outstanding job. They are above the

703
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 19: rate of attrition. Now we've got lots of new corestians

704
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 19: officers coming in. We're actually in pretty good showe.

705
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 2: You're not giving us any flannel for Christmas? Here are you?

706
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 4: Mark?

707
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 2: For goodness? Say you're not gilding the lily? Here are you?

708
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 4: No?

709
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 19: Not at all, but talking about Christmas, I actually wanted

710
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 19: to get you a gift, Mike. I've been on the

711
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 19: show for six years. Yes, I love being on the show.

712
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 19: Thank you for having me on again this year. But

713
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 19: what But what do you get a guy that's got everything?

714
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 19: And I thought, well, I said to Sarah what we

715
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 19: get Mike? She said, well, you know what about Camo

716
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 19: golf balls. I don't think he's a golf player. And

717
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 19: if you've got Camo golf balls, you've got to lose

718
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 19: it every time. No one's going to know you played

719
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 19: a crap shot. So thought, yeah, that's that's a good

720
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 19: present of someone that's got everything. But listen, Mike, can

721
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 19: I just say thank you to all the listeners that

722
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 19: tune in for politics Wednesday. It's been a huge door

723
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,240
Speaker 19: opener for me around the country because of that common link.

724
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 19: And what's what's really been noticeable for me this year's

725
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 19: with my emergency management role, is that I've been to

726
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 19: eight local states for emergency and it's been a huge

727
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 19: door opener there for me. And there's already some sort

728
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 19: of trust that's been established because they feel like they

729
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 19: know me through the show. So I just wanted to

730
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 19: say thank you, thank you to see them and Glenn

731
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,759

Speaker 2: to you of course. Marke Mitchell, Minister of Police and

737
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 2: Corrections twelve minutes past seven, asking Foodstuffs facial recognition trial

738
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 2: that's worked out well, they tell us. Of the twenty

739
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 2: five North Island stores that took part, harm was reduced

740
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 2: by sixteen percent. Thought the technology played a part in

741
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 2: preventing more than one hundred serious install incidents, and we're

742
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 2: talking things like assault. The evaluator from Skelatia Analytics. The

743

Speaker 2: film director is Adam Barker, who's with us, Adam, morning

744
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 2: to you, but one of Mike, what your thought versus

745
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 2: what you got? Was it the same thing?

746
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 4: Yeah?

747
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 6: It was pretty close. We anticipated about well, we were

748
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 6: hoping for at least a twenty percent production and harm

749
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 6: and what we have ended up with as a sixteen

750
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 6: percent production and harm.

751
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 2: And so where do you go from here? I mean,

752
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 2: if everyone agrees at work so more? Please? Is that

753
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 2: how it works?

754
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:32,919
Speaker 4: Well?

755
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 6: From here? Our report has gone to food Stuffs and

756
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 6: then food Stuffs and turn has passed it on to

757
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 6: the Office of the Privacy Commissioner. It's currently in the

758
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 6: hands of the Privacy Commissioner now to make some decisions

759
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 6: around where they would like to try and see facial

760
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 6: recognition go next.

761
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 2: Is there a problem with it? I mean, how many

762
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 2: people actually moaned about having their face photographed, sword, et cetera.

763
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 6: Not many, But I don't think that's there is clearly

764
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,280
Speaker 6: a balance. It does need to be struck between privacy

765
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 6: impacts and the harm reduction that occurs. And one of

766
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 6: the important things that we tried to do in our

767
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:11,760
Speaker 6: work was to assess the balance between those different impacts

768
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 6: and to understand what the public thought and what we

769
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 6: found in that work was that the sixteen percent reduction

770
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 6: is more than enough to justify the privacy impacts in

771
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,280
Speaker 6: the view of most of the public.

772
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 2: Is the way of the future.

773
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 6: Well, I guess I certainly feel like it should be

774
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 6: part of the mix of things that had done in

796
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 2: have but we didn't know what was going to happen.

797
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,960

00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 4: It's amazing.

800
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,880

801
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 20: you'd asked me if I thought this could happen, Oborously'd

802
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 20: absolutely no chance at all. So you know, we're blown

803
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 20: away and we're over the moon.

804
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 2: What do you reckon? The magic is? Have you worked

805
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 2: that out yet?

806
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 20: I mean a lot of hard work, a lot of

807
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 20: hard work, But no, I think I think Steve's a

808
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 20: fantastic coach. I mean he's actually just been He's just

809
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 20: one coach of the month for the A League, which

810
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 20: is to many other.

811
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 4: Contenders if you ask me.

812
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 20: But he's done a great job and pulling together a

813
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 20: fantastic squad of young guys who we just all want

814
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 20: to go up and play for themselt sorry for each

815
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 20: other other than else, and so there's a real cohesive

816
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 20: unit out there, and you see it when they just

817
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 20: fight for every ball together, that are so strong.

818
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 4: It's just a really it's a pleasure to watch.

819
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 2: And not putting to crass a point on it, but

820
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 2: the bottom line must be looking good, must And I

821
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 2: mean when you sell out, you sell up.

822
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

823
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 20: No, I mean that certainly helps. And you know, we're

824
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 20: sort of you know, we know we're not going to

825
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 20: sell every match. That's where we would like to build to,

826
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 20: and that's we'd like.

827
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 4: To get to.

828
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 20: But it certainly does help when you've got, well, the

829
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 20: first four matches, we're going to have close to eighty

830
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 20: thousand or police fans through the doors.

831
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 4: So I mean, that's yeah, that's brilliant.

832
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 2: Do you are some of the younger, more inexperienced players

833
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,479
Speaker 2: starting to feel the pressure, because of course, the better

834
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 2: you do, the higher you're going to fall eventually in

835
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 2: some way, shape or form, aren't you.

836
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 16: Yeah.

837
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 20: But they, I mean, it's a bit of a cliche

838
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 20: and I'm not going to say they take it one

839
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 20: game at a time, but what they do do is

840
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 20: they set a challenge for each for themselves at each game,

841
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 20: and they build up to that, so they've sort of

842
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 20: focused on the one the one task at hand, which

843
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 20: I think really helps.

844
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 4: Plus we've got a good mix of experience and the squad,

845
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 4: so you.

846
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 20: Know, plans like the captain Heroki who's been to three

847
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 20: World cupster, who's absolutely legend and he just brings a

848
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 20: bit of calm in that dressing room and they look

849
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 20: to him and they see how professional he is and

850
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 20: it really helps them lift their game.

851
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 2: Fantastic. I'll tell you, I tell you what's interesting for me.

852
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 2: I'm not a big football fan, nothing against your sport,

853
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 2: but I've just got other sports I'm interested in. But

854
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 2: I am watching you because of what you are doing.

855
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 2: So that's ideally from the marketing, branding, whatever point of view,

856
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 2: that you can't ask them more than that, can you?

857
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 4: No, you can't.

858
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 20: And I think there's a lot of Auckland sports fans

859
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,399
Speaker 20: who have come on that journey as well, and it's

860
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:36,720
Speaker 20: great to hear that you've got on board.

861
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 4: Myths for status.

862
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 20: You're always welcome to come along you need to get

863
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 20: to a game. But the I think there's a lot

864
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 20: of you know, because football has exploded, especially with the

865
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 20: kids in Auckland, and a lot of the parents have

866
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 20: a bit like yourself. They're like, well, I've never ready

867
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 20: followed football, but suddenly they're coming on, they're getting on

868
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 20: the journey and they're ride in the.

869
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 4: Roller coaster about her games.

870
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 20: You know, we've been we've been winning, but we've been

871
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 20: scoring late, and so it's been quite They've been quite

872
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 20: tense games and you just see it in people's faces

873
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 20: in the crowd. It's quote, it's quite amazing to watch.

Speaker 2: Fantastic. Well, I hope you're enjoying it. I'm sure you are. Nick,

Speaker 2: difference between city cameras watching behavior and facial recognition? I

884

00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 2: dam eight five years and look at it? That is

928
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 2: a restoration Ireland seven? Why a pro business government got

929
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 2: re elected a hope of a hipado in the economy,

930
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 2: got a growing economy one of the highest per capita

931
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 2: incomes in the entire world. Small island nation with five

932
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 2: million people might be worth looking at Zelenski six first

933
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 2: sign of concession. This thing will be negotiated away by

934
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 2: this time next year, siriapour. If a stard goes, that'd

935
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 2: probably market higher. But then what's next to I mean,

936
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 2: is it any better?

937
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 4: Really?

938
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 2: At seven? I mean that's what you get when your

939
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 2: ear is ten and arrogance's next level? Eden Park nine?

940
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 2: More events they announced? Gosh, who would have thought that

941
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 2: was a good idea? More events? Molowanui won? Does it

942
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 2: get any more comedic? Are the Supreme Court seven putting

943
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 2: an activist ap peel Court in its place? Fro tier nine.

944
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 12: Bucks?

945
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 2: And I'm not sure there isn't even more where that

946
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 2: came from? Are the type zero zero eight doesn't actually

947
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 2: sound like that.

948
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 15: Glence, Well do we know what it sounds like?

949
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 12: Salary?

950
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 2: It's an ev quite possibly a stroke of genius, cool

951
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,879
Speaker 2: looking set of wheels. I tell you that scrutiny Week

952
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 2: six a shaver. All aside, given she lost the plot,

953
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 2: it once again produced at least a couple of illuminating

954
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 2: fact it's not least of which was tax treatment for charities.

955
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 2: Tax treatment on charity sex good because there are charities

956
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 2: and then there are charities. And that is the week

957
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 2: copies on the website, and when you print this off

958
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 2: on the website, it will come out twice and that'll

959
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 2: see you through the holiday season. ASKI the magic Mike

960
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 2: is a billionaire? You speaker Bill Foley, of course with

961
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 2: the Auckland FC. It's not the fact he's a billionaire,

962
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 2: it's the fact I think he's clearly got because this

963
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 2: is not a first radio or sports team. He's got

964
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 2: a thing. He's obviously got a recipe that works, and

965
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 2: probably the recipe that works is how he became a billionaire.

966
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 2: Morning Mike, we're one of the four percent traveling overseasc

967
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 2: in London. Craig, have a good time. I hope it

968
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 2: snows for you, and I hope you manage a book.

969
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 2: A four hundred and fifty pound lunch, four hundred and

970
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 2: fifty pounds per person. That was my probably my revelation

971
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 2: of the year. Four hundred and fifty pounds per person

972
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 2: for Christmas lunch in a flash hotel in London, for

973
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 2: goodness sake, Mark Mitchell, Mike comes across as authentic and

974
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 2: genuine and yet making real progress in his portfolio. I

975
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,760
Speaker 2: tend to agree I like Mike. I mean, I'm biased,

976
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 2: obviously because he's on the program every Wednesday. But having

977
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,359
Speaker 2: said that, you can't fault him for kicking a bit

978
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 2: of rear end and getting things moving in that particular department.

979
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 2: And I think we all do we not feel a

980
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 2: little bit better about crime and society as a result

981
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 2: of his presence. The Prime Minister is but moments away

982
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,280
Speaker 2: after the news which is next.

983
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: Big Us Bold opinions the mic Hosking breakfast with the

984
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 1: range Rover Villa designed to intrigue and use Tog's dead by.

985
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 2: Three minutes away from the Kadie do the Week for

986
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 2: the final time this year after eight o'clock meantime. Given

987
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 2: it's the first of season Prime Minister drops in to

988
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 2: say hello and goodbye. Nice to see Nice to see you,

989
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 2: to see you. Do you want the serious stuff first?

990
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 2: A couple of serious things since I talked to you

991
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 2: on Tuesday. Scrutiny week. Broadly speaking, is it worth it

992
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 2: or not?

993
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 13: Well, I mean it's an innovation from Parliament. That's I

994
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 13: think the first time we've been doing it. Look, I

995
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 13: think anything that tries to give people more visibility as

996
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 13: to what's going on transparency is probably worth it. I

997
00:45:58,440 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 13: haven't checked in with my guys as to how they

998
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 13: found it, but you know, look, I think that's not

999
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 13: a bad thing.

1000
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 2: Okay. Have you seen the OECD report on New Zealand

1001
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 2: this morning? I haven't seen it. It's a doer Yeah,

1002
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 2: it is a doer story. So our projected growth for

1003
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 2: next years one point four percent twenty twenty six is

1004
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,399
Speaker 2: two point one percent. The world is at three point three,

1005
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 2: so we're trailing the world. New Zealand also faces an

1006
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 2: investment gap in addressing the needs of a rapidly growing population.

1007
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 2: This is essential to tackle low productivity growth and high

1008
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 2: electricity fuenture prices. Labor productivity growth has fallen markedly since

1009
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. GDP growth has been driven by an

1010
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 2: expansion of labor. Most of the people coming to this

1011
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 2: country are low and medium skilled people. High bank margins,

1012
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 2: capital costs, reduced demand for credit, high futures, electricity prices

1013
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 2: will exacerbate productivity problems and so it goes.

1014
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 13: I mean, that's a bad what a marvelous set of

1015
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 13: challenges to deal with more well.

1016
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,919
Speaker 2: I mean, to get yourself. I mean, I'm not sitting

1017
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 2: here blaming you. I've only been over a year, but

1018
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 2: I mean that's but it's dead right right.

1019
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,280
Speaker 13: I mean, if you think about it the last thirty years,

1020
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 13: what we've had as a productivity disease, you know, we've

1021
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 13: been in the bottom quarter basically of economic productivity. That

1022
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 13: means that we're all working for and hard, but we're

1023
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 13: actually not able to create the value you that we

1024
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 13: need to be able to have a high stander living.

1025
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 13: And you know, you think about places like Ireland and

1026
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 13: Denmark and Singapore and New South Wales, State's other five

1027
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 13: million type people places When you say why are they

1028
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,919
Speaker 13: wealthier to us? And I've studied this through about twenty years,

1029
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 13: it comes down to about five things. It's education, it's science, technology, innovation,

1030
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 13: what you're seeing at Fonterra where they're really adding lots

1031
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 13: of value to their product services. It's definitely infrastructure. We've

1032
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 13: got a hell big problem there through red tape and

1033
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,919
Speaker 13: obviously trade and investment, and you know we've got thin

1034
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:30,919
Speaker 13: pools of capital. You know, we've done a very poor

1035
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 13: job of attracting foreign investment to this country. The mentality

1036
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,400
Speaker 13: has been, you know, welcome to New Zealand, but you

1037
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 13: know it's a privilege for you to invest here, versus

1038
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 13: we should be saying thank you for bringing your money here.

1039
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 13: And we're thirty eighth out of thirty eighth in the

1040
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,399
Speaker 13: OECD to heat attracting foreign investment as well.

1041
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 2: Do you think most people we've talked about this is

1042
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 2: a theme a number of times this year, do you

1043
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:53,360
Speaker 2: think most people truly understand how troubled this country is.

1044
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 4: No.

1045
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 13: And I know when I've sort of said how much

1046
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 13: damage was done in that six year period, you get

1047
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 13: over that, Like the reality is I now own it

1048
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:03,399
Speaker 13: and we've got to fix it and deal with it.

1049
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,879
Speaker 13: But you know, we've got to get the long term

1050
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 13: foundations in place. When you have forty five percent of

1051
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 13: your kids going to school regularly and fifty five percent not,

1052
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,839
Speaker 13: which is what happened when we started. You're sitting there going, well,

1053
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 13: England's sitting at eighty two percent, we're sitting at forty

1054
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 13: five percent. Well, how are we supposed to be competitive

1055
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 13: with England and with Australia and with Canada and other

1056
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 13: places that we think are like minded places. So we

1057
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 13: can't sort that stuff out. If you're four out of

1058
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 13: your five kids arrive at high school not where they

1059
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 13: need to be on maths and one out of two

1060
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 13: where they need to be on reading, that's serious stuff, right,

1061
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 13: because that, seriously is about how you get the leaders

1062
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 13: and artificial intelligence and agri science and four lane highways

1063
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,319
Speaker 13: up to Fungo A and engineers and all that good

1064
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 13: stuff if you don't get those things sorted the same

1065
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 13: on investment and infrastructure, we've managed infrastructure very very poorly.

1066
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 13: You know, we run the country like it's nineteen seventy

1067
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 13: five and we have to think about how we do

1068
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 13: infrastructure very differently.

1069
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 2: Do you think the mentality see one of one of

1070
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 2: the things of the media's fault as much as anything else.

1071
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 2: There is no shortage of people in your time and

1072
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 2: office who genuinely believe that you are the answer to everything.

1073
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 2: For money, we're sure of money. This didn't work, that

1074
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 2: didn't work, the government will wipe my bum So that's

1075
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 2: the mentality in this country that only a government can

1076
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 2: fix it. The idea of working hard, doing better, improving

1077
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 2: yourself is beyond most people. That's what we've got it.

1078
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:15,839
Speaker 13: That is exactly the notion we have to put in place,

1079
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 13: because I will I had it last night. I was

1080
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 13: talking to someone in the healthcareist sector and I was

1081
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 13: just saying all the differences between New South Wales and

1082
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 13: New Zealand. You know, they're thirty five percent wealthier than

1083
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:26,799
Speaker 13: New Zealand. Now, so if you don't build out a

1084
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 13: better quality economic engine, you can't deliver the public services

1085
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 13: that people have expectations of. Ireland's a case study. I've

1086
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 13: been there a few times now and I went there

1087
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,320
Speaker 13: to study education and also how they do infrastructure development

1088
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 13: and investment. That was a country that had seventy five

1089
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,320
Speaker 13: percent of the wealth of New Zealand, same per person,

1090
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 13: same sized country. Now twice as wealthy as excelland so

1091
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 13: you get twice as many at GPS, you get twice

1092
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 13: as many teachers so you know, when I talk the economy,

1093
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:52,800
Speaker 13: it's not because I'm focused on money and I'm a

1094
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 13: commercial guy. It's actually because what that enables is actually

1095
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 13: a better healthcare system, better infrastructure system, better school system.

1096
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 2: Ok, well, you've got two more years, I guess to

1097
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 2: sell it to us. Having said that, a bit longer

1098
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 2: than two more years, it seems it seems weird. It

1099
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 2: seems weird to me. It was only a year ago

1100
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 2: this time last year year at the quarter of the hotel.

1101
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 2: It seems it seems longer ago than that, doesn't it

1102
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 2: or not?

1103
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 13: It does feel that to me. But I guess that's

1104
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 13: with every week just goes by, you know, so quickly,

1105
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:19,319
Speaker 13: and a lot happens in a week, as well as

1106
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 13: my observation, and you don't really have time to digest

1107
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 13: because you're just moving things forward to reflect that much.

1108
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 13: And I'll probably get a chance to do that over

1109
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 13: summer a little bit. But but yeah, it's been a

1110
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 13: fall on twelve months. But it's been a great twelve months.

1111
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 13: I mean, I've thoroughly enjoyed it, you know, because you're

1112
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 13: in the mix, you're in the arena, sort of pulling levers,

1113
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 13: making choices, making decisions.

1114
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 2: I found it not position you didn't get to. It's

1115
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:42,879
Speaker 2: an interesting point. My criticism of you would be you've

1116
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,479
Speaker 2: not gone hard enough. But take that for whatever else.

1117
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 13: Do you feel it would be a standard criticism I

1118
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 13: would have thought from you.

1119
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,839
Speaker 2: Do you feel like you are in a job that

1120
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 2: you thought it would be something where you could make

1121
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 2: genuine change and you are doing it?

1122
00:50:58,680 --> 00:50:58,879
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1123
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 13: I do, actually like I I genuinely think that the

1124
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 13: opposition job is really hard, right And I remember looking

1125
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 13: at it and thinking about all the leaders that we've had

1126
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 13: of the National Party. They're all on a photo in

1127
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 13: the wall at National House, which is the head office

1128
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 13: of our party, and I think there's only six that

1129
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 13: have won elections, and there's a number of that were

1130
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 13: you followed on from leaders that at the end of terms.

1131
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 13: But you know, it's a hard job because you don't

1132
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:23,280
Speaker 13: have anything to do, you know. But now as a prominency,

1133
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 13: that's the job you want because you can actually pull

1134
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 13: the levers and in the center you have to be

1135
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:31,280
Speaker 13: really brutally clear and directive when you're doing a turnaround,

1136
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 13: and otherwise by the time it ripples out through the system,

1137
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 13: change doesn't happen. And there's a lot of things. I mean,

1138
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 13: you can and you can get very lost in it

1139
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 13: if you don't have great clarity and choose what you

1140
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 13: are doing and what you're not doing right now, because

1141
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 13: otherwise you're boiling the ocean. You're just bumper stickering your

1142
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 13: way through it and papering over the cracks and actually

1143
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 13: not doing things properly. And you know, we've got some

1144
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 13: real challenges, you know, there's no doubt about it. But

1145
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:54,799
Speaker 13: we have to you know, we want to try right.

1146
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 13: We have to get to a better place.

1147
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 2: Explain to a person like me who would criticize you

1148
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:00,879
Speaker 2: for not going hard enough or hard do than you are.

1149
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 2: Do you believe you're going as hard as you can

1150
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 2: or have you discovered something that prevents you from going

1151
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 2: further than you have?

1152
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 13: The problems are more complex often than they feel, you know,

1153
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 13: just when you do a observing them from outside. So

1154
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 13: when you get inside the problem that takes you a

1155
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 13: bit of you know, they're quite complex by the time

1156
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 13: they come your way. But no, look, I think we are.

1157
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 13: I mean you've got to. I mean, look, you've got

1158
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 13: two choices out on the economic front. You could carry

1159
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 13: on doing exactly what the last lot did, which would

1160
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 13: spend more, tax more, borrow more, not deliver. Or you

1161
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 13: could go what we've seen around the world, which isn'to

1162
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 13: hard austerity, and that's not good either. That has got

1163
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 13: a whole bunch of consequences and implications. And we are

1164
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 13: generally trying to find that third way through which I

1165
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 13: think we've done well, and Nicola and I working through

1166
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 13: the budget process where we actually are giving people tax relief,

1167
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,839
Speaker 13: you're able to actually put some investment into the future infrastructure.

1168
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 13: But we're going to need for infrastructure for someone. We

1169
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 13: are going to need outside pools of capital because we

1170
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 13: can't just use our balance sheet and weight to get

1171
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:57,879
Speaker 13: roads built in twenty sixty. We have to do things sooner.

1172
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 2: That's funny you should say that because Sullivan's got a

1173
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 2: piece of the paper this morning. It deals with you

1174
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 2: met Larry Fink, Yeah, at Black black Rock, at the

1175
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 2: same company that pulled the plug the other day on

1176
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 2: Soul zero. So do you want to mend or not?

1177
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 2: I mean, are they the sort of people we want

1178
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 2: to deal with?

1179
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:13,840
Speaker 13: Well, the point is that around the world there is

1180
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 13: trillions of dollars of sovereign wealth money right like basically

1181
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:18,840
Speaker 13: it's inter I think I told you like us. You

1182
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 13: had dinner with Mody, and he says he's got a

1183
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 13: new university he's opening every week. He needs something like

1184
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:25,759
Speaker 13: two thousand plans. So you think about the hundreds of

1185
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 13: millions of people coming out of poverty who now moved

1186
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 13: from subsistence living into the middle class, and they want

1187
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 13: to go travel, they want to go get educated for

1188
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 13: their kids, and they actually want to save the money

1189
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,800
Speaker 13: for retirement. Well, all of those funds need to be invested.

1190
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 13: So everywhere I go, if overseas, I take two hours

1191
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 13: and I go bring them the biggest investors from those

1192
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 13: countries and meet with them for lunch. But is the

1193
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:47,799
Speaker 13: money they are open to wanting to invest. I want

1194
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,319
Speaker 13: their money, and the problem is the middleware, which is

1195
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:53,359
Speaker 13: actually they don't know what's here to invest in. And

1196
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 13: we need to basically put deal sheets together to actually say, look,

1197
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 13: we've got a whole bunch of roads, we've got a

1198
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 13: whole bunch of other assets that are a level to you,

1199
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 13: and we've got to change some of the settings, which

1200
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,799
Speaker 13: we're working our way through. So I do think, Mike,

1201
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 13: there is actually the doors open. We just got to

1202
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 13: push it open and barge through it.

1203
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:11,480
Speaker 2: Do you I need to take a break and we will,

1204
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 2: but think about this during the break. The Spotify rap

1205
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 2: of yours Yeah, are you a fraud? You more more

1206
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:24,720
Speaker 2: in a moment facing away from.

1207
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:27,439
Speaker 1: The Mike asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio Power

1208
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: by News Talks.

1209
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 2: It be eleven away from my prime minister for the

1210
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:32,799
Speaker 2: last couple of months, just a couple of quick things.

1211
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 13: So that was quite an accusation you made before that It.

1212
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:38,800
Speaker 2: Wasn't to be fair. I thought that you were elevated

1213
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 2: to prime Minister of this country based on your love

1214
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 2: of country music, and so then I see the Spotify

1215
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:44,319
Speaker 2: rap and there's next to no country music on it.

1216
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 13: Yeah, well there is actually, Like I mean, post Malone

1217
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 13: and du A Lipa did a great song Think I'm

1218
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:50,879
Speaker 13: in Love with You, Like, if you do one thing, Mike,

1219
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 13: You've got three things to do for me over the holidays.

1220
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 13: One is you've got to listen to F one trillion,

1221
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,439
Speaker 13: which is Post Malone's country collaboration album Brilliant, the best

1222
00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 13: album of the year. I Think I'm in Love with You,

1223
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:02,400
Speaker 13: which is Chris Stapleton song. But he did a duet

1224
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 13: with Dua Lipa, which is just unbelievable song of the year.

1225
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:06,840
Speaker 13: And the third thing I think you need to do

1226
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 13: is actually need to watch Day of the Jackal, which

1227
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 13: is with any TV.

1228
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 2: Plus and plus. Because they're losing so much.

1229
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 13: Money, we're doing everything we can to make them more profitable.

1230
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:19,399
Speaker 12: Very good.

1231
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 2: Now the present I have for you open this is

1232
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,759
Speaker 2: this is a prototype. This is first of all, it's

1233
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 2: one of one, so it's unique.

1234
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 13: This sounds special.

1235
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 2: It's a prototype, and there is a I believe bigger

1236
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:38,959
Speaker 2: and if not more bigger, a more luxurious version of

1237
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 2: this coming.

1238
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 13: So so as that sort of like driving gloves or something.

1239
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 2: Well they're not no, they're not driving. They're not driving gloves.

1240
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:47,439
Speaker 2: But I'm not allowed to drive anymore. I think you'll

1241
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 2: be I think you'll be impressed. No one has ever

1242
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 2: been given one of these because it doesn't exist anywhere

1243
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 2: else in the world.

1244
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 13: Oh look, it's the Complete Guide to Surviving and Mike

1245
00:55:57,360 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 13: Hoski interview.

1246
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 2: So look for the instructions. That is genius.

1247
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:05,320
Speaker 13: That is genius.

1248
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 2: So we'll get a leather bound version of that when

1249
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 2: it's completed.

1250
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:12,359
Speaker 13: It's a total mystery to me. Twelve months after having

1251
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 13: done these interviews. Can I give you my guests?

1252
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 2: Yes you can.

1253
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 13: You can, all right, so keep the beg that you

1254
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:21,319
Speaker 13: get a beautiful card. This is that you are the

1255
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,759
Speaker 13: very first person that I have given this card to you.

1256
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:28,319
Speaker 13: It's a lovely photo of myself stunning wife Amanda. It's

1257
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:29,720
Speaker 13: got a handwritten note inside.

1258
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:30,400
Speaker 2: So there you go.

1259
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 13: You can be on the string that you put in

1260
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:33,399
Speaker 13: the office.

1261
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:35,839
Speaker 2: That's that's an awesome photo. Is that taken in front

1262
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 2: of your hedges?

1263
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:39,880
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's in front of the hedges at home. I

1264
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:41,399
Speaker 13: know you appreciate a good fighters hinge.

1265
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:42,760
Speaker 2: I love a good fus.

1266
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 13: This is this is your fear of khaki seasoning. Now,

1267
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:49,799
Speaker 13: I mean it's for your listeners. Most of us will

1268
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 13: just use you know, people like me who are men

1269
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 13: of the people. No, of course I just used soult.

1270
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:56,839
Speaker 13: I mean I come from a very humble background and

1271
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 13: and just but you look at this and this is

1272
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:01,359
Speaker 13: what really posh people. It's like seasoning. And I think

1273
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 13: you've got like I think it's like a seaweed that

1274
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:06,720
Speaker 13: gets sort of extracted in some complicated process up north

1275
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 13: for out carped Sultan.

1276
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:10,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've put that on your food.

1277
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,359
Speaker 13: Yeah, I know, it's just that's what I've read about.

1278
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 13: You put it on your pokey bowl and you smashed

1279
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 13: avocado toast and stuff like that. I imagine you sit

1280
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 13: around you and your pajamas.

1281
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 2: I love it absolutely.

1282
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 13: And then the other thing is you often comment when

1283
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 13: I come in with my water bottle. I'm sort of

1284
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 13: you say, Chris Watson, the water and why is it?

1285
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 13: And you sort of accused me of it being a

1286
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 13: sort of your own sum at one points and all

1287
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 13: sorts of things. But I brought you this is my

1288
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 13: special energy voost. Now, this is posh Baroka basically is

1289
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 13: what you're getting here. And sometimes I come in and

1290
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 13: you're a bit grumpy and sometimes you're happier, And I

1291
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:40,440
Speaker 13: just think if you put that into your day, that

1292
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 13: would be translate.

1293
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 2: You're glad, you're a good bloke. I'm going to enjoy

1294
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 2: that over the holiday period. I'll be a whole new

1295
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 2: man on the boose next year. You and Amanda and

1296
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 2: Kents and everything. You have a lovely Christmas. Mates, have

1297
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 2: a great break. Take care see Christopher likes ate away

1298
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 2: from it.

1299
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 12: The host rest with us.

1300
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 2: Mike Luxon sounds and laughs like a chap, I'd want

1301
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 2: to have a beer with his networking skills must be

1302
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:07,840
Speaker 2: up there. He's a pleasant like. I mean all politics aside.

1303
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 2: I mean to be fair. One of the things you

1304
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 2: learned after being in the radio for about a thousand

1305
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 2: years is that most of them were the odd exception

1306
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:18,000
Speaker 2: a decent people. Mike, thanks for sharing your expertise and

1307
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 2: brilliant throughout the year. The hard working dedications are valuable.

1308
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 2: You're very kind. You're going to be nice to lux

1309
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 2: and this time, Mike, well, I think you just saw reasonably.

1310
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 2: But then OECD report, by the way, which hasn't got

1311
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 2: the he hasn't got any coverage this morning. You haven't

1312
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:34,440
Speaker 2: heard it. But this OECD report on New Zealand is

1313
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 2: it is dire. What it says about us now often

1314
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 2: you know you don't have to take it. It's an

1315
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 2: international organization that looks at us and maybe they know

1316
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 2: what's going on. Maybe they but the points they make

1317
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 2: about productivity and the points they make about the high

1318
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 2: futures and electricity will exacerbate productivity problems. We should re

1319
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 2: examine separating the generation and retail operations of large electricity companies.

1320
00:58:56,000 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 2: School education reforms should continue. So they're seemingly suggesting that

1321
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 2: we might be on the right track, slowly but surely.

1322
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 2: But there's some stuff yet to do, and that gentail

1323
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 2: retailer thing in the power industry. The banking industry is

1324
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 2: an ongoing issue. They specifically cite high bank margins, capital cost.

1325
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 2: There's a lot to worry about in this country as

1326
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 2: we go to the summer break, and a lot to

1327
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 2: be done. So news for you in a couple of moments,

1328
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 2: and then we will do the week with Tim and Katy.

00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 4: But not.

1338
00:59:56,680 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 2: Everyone's enjoying the festive season. Here's macrom Why did they

1339
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 2: act like that?

1340
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 21: It's I don't. They don't think about you, your difficulties

1341
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 21: at the end of the month, your projects. Let's be honest.

1342
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 21: They think about one thing to their presidential election, to

1343
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:15,600
Speaker 21: prepare it, to provoke it, to bring it on more

1344
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:20,200
Speaker 21: quickly and it's cynical. It fits, let's say, and there's

1345
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 21: a sense of chaos.

1346
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,720
Speaker 2: You're not happy. You're speaking to the French people as

1347
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 2: we speak. This is Jennifer Hudson. It's called The Gift

1348
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 2: of Love. Three years after her first holiday album, and

1349
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 2: it's the first album overall since twenty fourteen when she

1350
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 2: debuted to the world. Anyway. It is produced by Ryan Tedda,

1351
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 2: who we had on the program a couple of years ago,

1352
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:53,560
Speaker 2: A nice guy. Also David Foster, Leonard Cohen, Teller Luo.

1353
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 2: They all do it as leaguing.

1354
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 15: Later on in the site. We can't play it all

1355
01:00:58,280 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 15: because it goes on for a very long time.

1356
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 2: It's a note that you can't believe that I can't believe. Well, well,

1357
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 2: isolate out that note and we'll have it later on

1358
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 2: the pregram. You're right, six forty five long A two

1366
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:31,160
Speaker 2: And we were taking bets off air. I didn't participate

1367
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 2: because I'm not allowed to bet because you've told me

1368
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 2: I can't, But we were taking bets off your air

Speaker 2: as to when I would utter the first words G,

1370
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 2: I wouldn't mind getting back on the radio.

Speaker 22: Yeah, Jason, and I usually take that bet every summer too,

1372
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 22: because you're like, I'm so exhausted, I'm so ready for

1373
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 22: a break, and then about five minutes into your holiday

01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:06,160
Speaker 3: Well, ye, look, I've actually I'm investigating this because of

1381
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 3: obviously the public sector, but I was actually thinking about

1382
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 3: our Christmas party, the wrap the week Christmas party on Monday,

1383
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:15,680
Speaker 3: and I think we've got the lowest price per head

1384
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 3: in terms of it's coffee. It's a DCF. I'll have

1385
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 3: a DCF five point fifty. You're not planning on having

1386
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 3: a muffin though, are you.

1387
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:23,760
Speaker 2: I'm not actually planning on being there.

1388
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 22: What, don't worry them, I'll drag them along, so you're

1389
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 22: drag them alone.

1390
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 2: Three coffees and a muffin, so you're talking, we could

1391
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:38,400
Speaker 2: probably come scraping under twenty five, couldn't we twenty five

1392
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 2: bucks for three people?

1393
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:40,440
Speaker 3: You behead?

1394
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:41,200
Speaker 4: Are you kidding me?

1395
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:45,040
Speaker 3: We could do twenty We painted that ourselves. The company

1396
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 3: doesn't self fund it.

1397
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 12: That's true.

1398
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 2: Something we probably need to k the public. This is

1399
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 2: what the public sector. This is how the public sector

1400
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 2: needs to learn to run stuff. You do it yourself.

1401
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 2: You don't rely on other people. So three coffees in

1402
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 2: a muff and we'll say Merry Christmas, and that'll be

1403
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 2: us for another year, and we'll we'll be happy and satisfied,

1404
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 2: won't we.

1405
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 22: Well, we probably have a certain age where we don't

1406
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 22: really need to get ourselves completely hammered and you know,

1407
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 22: dance on tables.

1408
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:12,320
Speaker 2: Do you think that ever happened? Katie? Did you ever

1409
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 2: go see when I joined radio in the in the eighties, Yes.

1410
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 12: It did happen.

1411
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 3: I mean, didn't your chief executive do a show you

1412
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:21,440
Speaker 3: at one of the Christmas parties?

1413
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:23,120
Speaker 22: You told me a famous story about one of your

1414
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:25,720
Speaker 22: radio Christmas parties where someone fell through the ceiling.

1415
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:28,240
Speaker 2: No, that wasn't a Christmas No, that's a good story.

1416
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:30,880
Speaker 2: That wasn't a Christmas party. That was just a regular

1417
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 2: day at the office. That was towards the end of

1418
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 2: the year, and they might have been having a party

1419
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 2: for two But that was a fantastic story at Radio Windy.

1420
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 2: And the thing about Radio Windy, which is no longer

1421
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:45,280
Speaker 2: in existence now, is that it had those ceilings where

1422
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 2: you have actually, as I look up, we've got these ceilings,

1423
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 2: so you know, the ceilings with individual boards. Ye, right,

1424
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:54,160
Speaker 2: and you can take the board out and climb into

1425
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:59,440
Speaker 2: the roof. Anyway, they fell out of the ceiling in

1426
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 2: a certain position into reception, into reception, inter reception. But

1427
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:09,919
Speaker 2: those were the glory days of radio. Nothing like that's

1428
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 2: ever happened since. And I do I do believe that

1429
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 2: when you talk to the older members of the broadcasting community,

1430
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 2: they all go down that track.

1431
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 12: There we go.

1432
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 2: I remember when where you were right like that, And

1433
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:23,200
Speaker 2: of course I don't even know that it ever really happened, to.

1434
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 3: Be honest, No, I did Mega magazines. I used to

1435
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 3: go go out to lunch with Bill Rolston on a Friday.

1436
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 2: Friday with Bill Rolston. That's not Christmas Christmas.

1437
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:35,520
Speaker 4: I'll tell you.

1438
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 12: I'll tell you what.

1439
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 3: When you have a lunch that lasts for eighteen hours,

1440
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:39,480
Speaker 3: you know you've had lunch?

1441
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 2: Eighteen are you?

1442
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:41,440
Speaker 4: Are you?

1443
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:43,240
Speaker 2: Says eighteen so far.

1444
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 3: Came twelve o'clock bell from noon from noon. We used

1445
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:49,720
Speaker 3: to because the rest of the company used to do,

1446
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 3: used to be Australian Consolidated Press. They'd have informal Friday.

1447
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:55,600
Speaker 3: But because we were sort of a bit hoiity toyy,

1448
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 3: we'd have formal Friday. We go out for lunch and yeah,

1449
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 3: I came. I came to my senses dancing to a

1450
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:03,960
Speaker 3: heavy metal song.

1451
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:04,600
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1452
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 3: It might have been Motorhead at six am in a

1453
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 3: nightclub on Queens Stream.

1454
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:11,919
Speaker 2: Thought that was a time to go fantastic. Do you want?

1455
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 2: Do you want slipknot tickets for Christmas? Codie?

1456
01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 22: No, I don't.

1457
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:17,680
Speaker 3: But guess what.

1458
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 22: Guess what excitement I got this morning with my Spotify

1459
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:22,360
Speaker 22: ract because I heard you promoing Yes.

1460
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 2: I'm dying, I am dying to hear happy.

1461
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 22: I hadn't even looked at it, so I jumped on Spotify.

1462
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 22: Do you know I'm in the top six percent of

1463
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 22: listeners worldwide?

1464
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:32,960
Speaker 4: No?

1465
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 2: It doesn't surprise me because I was saying earlier all

1466
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:39,320
Speaker 2: of our music and it's may throughout the day and

1467
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 2: on the weekend, is driven out of your Spotify account. Therefore,

1468
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 2: because we have music on all the time, every day,

1469
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:47,960
Speaker 2: every hour of every day then and it comes from

1470
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 2: exclusively your phone, then I'm not surprised at that. So

1471
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:52,920
Speaker 2: what do you what do you want to give us?

1472
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 2: The number?

1473
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:56,919
Speaker 22: Forty three seven and twenty eight minutes.

1474
01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:59,280
Speaker 2: Forty three thousand? Do you believe season?

1475
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 22: I actually think it was too bad?

1476
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 2: No, But that puts you did you.

1477
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:03,880
Speaker 4: Think what do you think it would be?

1478
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:07,160
Speaker 2: Well? I had text this morning from over one hundred

1479
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:09,400
Speaker 2: thousand minutes and somebody claimed to und in twenty thousand minutes,

1480
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 2: So I think that's b yes, because I know how

1481
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 2: much music we listened to it at forty three thousand,

1482
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 2: they cannot be listening to five times more music than But.

1483
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 22: Did you get because your top artist was Luke Holmes,

1484
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:21,640
Speaker 22: wasn't it? And my top artist was Joshua Raddon? And

1485

01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:42,000
Speaker 2: and three kdie where were we?

1509
01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:42,480
Speaker 4: So?

1510
01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:43,200
Speaker 2: What was the thing?

1511
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:45,240
Speaker 12: Oh?

1512
01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:48,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, So it's it's what it is is. When

1513
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:52,320
Speaker 2: my artist was Luke Holmes. And then it suddenly it goes, oh,

1514
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:55,200
Speaker 2: it seems that we're not alone, and then boom, your

1515
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 2: favorite artist comes up with a message. In my case,

1516
01:07:57,080 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 2: it's Luke Calmes. Now the problem with Luke Holmes's message,

1517
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:01,720
Speaker 2: it was a very neeric message and it's two Australians.

1518
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:03,920
Speaker 2: He says, I tell you what I'm I'm coming to

1519
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 2: Australia next year. I'm looking forward to being in Australia.

1520
01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:07,880
Speaker 2: And I thought, mate, I'm not in Australia. And so

1521
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:11,439
Speaker 2: they've obviously not quite regionalized it out to a point

1522
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 2: where it feels like an individual message. What was yours, Caddie?

1523
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:15,800
Speaker 2: Who was it from Joshua Radin?

1524
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 22: Yeah, And he was just basically thinking, he didn't he

1525
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:21,200
Speaker 22: didn't do a specific region. He was just, hey, thank

1526
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:22,880
Speaker 22: you so much for listening to so much of my music.

1527
01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:24,599
Speaker 22: I just so I appreciate you know, fans, and blah

1528
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:26,679
Speaker 22: blah blah, and this is what I'm doing and thank

1529
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:28,800
Speaker 22: you for sharing it and enjoying it. And I make

Speaker 17: Blah blah blah.

1532
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 2: So what we want is the first person who has

1533
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:37,880
Speaker 2: their number one artist who didn't have a message on Spotify,

1534
01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:39,880
Speaker 2: because they can't have gone to every artist in the

1535
01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:43,280
Speaker 2: world and gone a message, can they. Yeah, see, if

1536
01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:45,599
Speaker 2: your top artist was Beethoven, they would have struggled, surely.

1537
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:48,360
Speaker 22: But I wonder if the really big tailor.

1538
01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:50,600
Speaker 2: What but she would have done one? Of course she

1539
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:50,920
Speaker 2: would have.

1540
01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 3: Can I Can I tell you guys about my track

1541
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:57,479
Speaker 3: of the year. Yeah, okay, so it's not it's not

1542
01:08:57,600 --> 01:09:02,680
Speaker 3: on Spotify by a by an artist called It's by

1543
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 3: an artist called Wolfi Wilson and I've been talking about

1544
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:12,120
Speaker 3: this track quite a bit lately. He's well, he created something.

1545
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:14,599
Speaker 3: So a few weeks back, he was doing his piano

1546
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:17,160
Speaker 3: practice and he had to practice when the Saints go

1547
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:20,000
Speaker 3: marching in you know, when the Saints go marching.

1548
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:22,000
Speaker 2: So he did that very reluctantly.

1549
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:26,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't, doesn't doesn't love the piano practice thing.

1550
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:28,840
Speaker 3: Then he goes outside and he grabs his trident that

1551
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 3: he got for Halloween, and he was playing with his

1552
01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:33,479
Speaker 3: trident to your Wolfie, I'm just talking about you on

1553
01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 3: the radio. Wolf is just he's just coming to say goodbye.

1554
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,720
Speaker 3: So Grabs has tried and seems to perk up a bit.

1555
01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:43,600
Speaker 3: Then walks through the door and swings it between his

1556
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:47,320
Speaker 3: legs and starts to strut going when my diddle becomes

1557
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:52,519
Speaker 3: a trident, When my diddle becomes a trident, and you

1558
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:55,559
Speaker 3: just think. You look at your spouse, your bride, and

1559
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:57,439
Speaker 3: you say, this is your side of the family, this

1560
01:09:57,479 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 3: is where this comes from.

1561
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 2: There's something wrong fully, Ron boys. I thought I thought

1562
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 2: it was he was going to play as a fabulous

1563
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:06,479
Speaker 2: rendition of when the Saints go marching in. But no,

1564
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:07,760
Speaker 2: it wasn't that.

1565
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:14,800
Speaker 3: By the way, Mike, to recreate Bethoven of Beethoven sent

1566
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:15,520
Speaker 3: a message.

1567
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:16,080
Speaker 15: Because you know how they did.

1568
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:20,080
Speaker 2: But they did Richard the third, Yes, yes, who was it? Yeah,

1569
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:21,400
Speaker 2: so Bethoven.

1570

Speaker 15: Yeah, this is the Ai Bethoven.

1571
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:31,479

01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:17,760
Speaker 2: something like that. It's you know, I don't even think

1623
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:53,599

1624
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:56,640
Speaker 2: from Zach Bryant, which is interesting because Zach Bryant's one

1625

Speaker 2: of the hot names of the year, think Skies and

1627
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:02,960

1628
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:06,519

1631
01:13:10,280 --> 01:13:12,799
Speaker 15: Like an AI generated, very very.

1632
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 2: Similar to AI. Could be AI Glynn actually could be

1633
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:18,680
Speaker 2: the introduction of the AI. Mike Hosking boss has been

1634
01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:20,880
Speaker 2: working on that for the last two years. He's desperate

1635
01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:22,640
Speaker 2: to get me out of here. It's so close and

1636
01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:25,680
Speaker 2: as soon as he gets the technology to AI me

1637
01:13:26,040 --> 01:13:29,040
Speaker 2: the hell out of this place, I'm gone. So we'll

1638
01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:29,760
Speaker 2: see where that's gone.

1639
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:32,400
Speaker 15: We try doing ME and it just melts down every.

1640
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:36,840
Speaker 2: Time doesn't work. I've got three councils and three concerns,

1641
01:13:37,040 --> 01:13:39,080
Speaker 2: and I'll come back to them after eight thirty and

1642
01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:42,519
Speaker 2: probably after Murray. And if my time management is anything

1643
01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:43,840
Speaker 2: like it has been for most of the year. I'll

1644
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:48,200
Speaker 2: probably not get too the story at all. What was

1645
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:51,200
Speaker 2: he talking about other councils. I don't know. He never

1646
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:53,040
Speaker 2: got to it as usual, But when we're are most

1647
01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:56,280
Speaker 2: of the time tickets exactly one of them's stuff I

1648
01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:58,519
Speaker 2: didn't do. That's a whole new segment, isn't it stuff

1649
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:02,599
Speaker 2: he didn't do that? He said he would. Queenstown, Horror,

1650
01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:05,920
Speaker 2: Finua and Nelson anyway, more.

1651
01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:06,120
Speaker 4: Up to it.

1652
01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:07,559
Speaker 2: We've got this no for is this just more of

1653
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:14,720
Speaker 2: her more more general? Anyway? News is next to the mood.

1654
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:36,839
Speaker 1: Wonder setting the news agenda and digging into the issues.

1655
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:41,960
Speaker 1: The Mic Hosking Breakfast with Veda, Retirement, Communities, Life your

1656
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:43,320
Speaker 1: Way news togs had been.

1657
01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:45,720
Speaker 2: If you haven't heard it, there's been an earthquake off

1658
01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:47,760
Speaker 2: the coast of California. It's a seven, so it is

1659
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:49,360
Speaker 2: off the coast, which is good. But there is a

1660
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:52,000
Speaker 2: tsunami warning and a five million piece so this is

1661
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:55,040
Speaker 2: all unfolding. So we'll just see whether the tsunami warning

1662
01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:57,920
Speaker 2: comes to anything, how deep it was, how much, if

1663
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:00,960
Speaker 2: any damage there is. Will keep you posted on that

1664
01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:05,439
Speaker 2: are more excellent education newsed to end the year, are

1665
01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:08,320
Speaker 2: barely half the teenagers who tried to pass the critical

1666
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:12,880
Speaker 2: NCEEA literacy and numerousy benchmark via some online tests this

1667
01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:16,439
Speaker 2: year have succeeded. These are the final results. Qualifications Authority

1668
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:20,040
Speaker 2: published the results September round of tests. They show more

1669
01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:22,160
Speaker 2: than one hundred thousand students attempted at least one of

1670
01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:24,000
Speaker 2: the tests over the two rounds, with more than eighty

1671
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:26,800
Speaker 2: thousand sitting each subject. They had pass rates of fifty

1672
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:29,320
Speaker 2: five percent and numeracy sixty six percent, in writing seventy

1673
01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:32,680
Speaker 2: percent and reading. Students must pass all three before they

1674
01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:36,600
Speaker 2: receive NCA qualifications. Mind you, Australias no better as I

1675
01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:38,280
Speaker 2: read this week twenty two minutes away from.

1676
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:42,479
Speaker 1: Nine international correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of

1677
01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:43,839
Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business.

1678
01:15:43,920 --> 01:15:44,920
Speaker 2: See that Murray? How are you?

1679
01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:47,680
Speaker 12: Good morning? Michael? Pretty well this week? Thank you?

1680
01:15:47,720 --> 01:15:49,960
Speaker 2: And did you see that piece yesterday floating around the

1681
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:53,120
Speaker 2: gap between boys and girls and maths and sciences? Gargantua

1682
01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:55,679
Speaker 2: And this is the pins getting worse. It's just hopeless,

1683
01:15:56,040 --> 01:15:58,439
Speaker 2: it's getting worse. We sort of beat ourselves up in

1684
01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:00,639
Speaker 2: this country in many respects. We deserve to, because we've

1685
01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:03,800
Speaker 2: wrecked the wricked the joint. But the more I look

1686
01:16:03,840 --> 01:16:06,719
Speaker 2: at Australia, the more you've wrecked the place as well.

1687
01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:08,160
Speaker 4: Well.

1688
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:12,599
Speaker 23: Education attainment has been going backwards for many years, only

1689
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:14,400
Speaker 23: going to look as we've got these.

1690
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:15,880
Speaker 12: Annual tests nap Land.

1691
01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:18,320
Speaker 23: They're called yeah, I don't know what that stands for,

1692
01:16:18,439 --> 01:16:23,400
Speaker 23: but national sort of education and we benchmark ourselves over

1693
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:27,360
Speaker 23: here against other OECD countries, and sadly Australia is low

1694
01:16:27,439 --> 01:16:28,240
Speaker 23: and getting lower.

1695
01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:30,240
Speaker 12: And I don't know what the answer is.

1696
01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 23: I mean, I think maybe if you look at Finland,

1697
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:34,920
Speaker 23: they've got every teacher. I believe in Finland, every teacher

1698
01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:38,000
Speaker 23: does their degree and then a master's on top of

1699
01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:41,720
Speaker 23: that and paid appropriately. They actually get decent salaries in

1700
01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:44,240
Speaker 23: Finland to teach, and that's why Finland is at the

1701
01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:48,240
Speaker 23: top or very near the top of all these OECD tables,

1702
01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:50,920
Speaker 23: not the case in Australia where teachers are living on

1703
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:54,559
Speaker 23: kansa baked beans along with police officers and nurses for goodness.

1704
01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:57,360
Speaker 2: So yeah, exactly. Hey, this poll this morning where they've

1705
01:16:57,360 --> 01:17:01,400
Speaker 2: done the seat by seat analysis, tell you what next

1706
01:17:01,479 --> 01:17:04,559
Speaker 2: year is going to be fantastically interesting in as an election,

1707
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:04,960
Speaker 2: isn't it?

1708
01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:07,080
Speaker 12: Oh no, kidding, absolutely right.

1709
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:09,000
Speaker 23: I said to you start of this year, no way

1710
01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:10,320
Speaker 23: known Dutton, you can start now.

1711
01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:11,080
Speaker 12: He's not going to win.

1712
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:13,080
Speaker 23: I don't think he's going to win either next year,

1713
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:15,600
Speaker 23: but it's going to be there's I mean, I'm not

1714
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:18,519
Speaker 23: sure he can get a bet now on a hung parliament.

1715
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 23: That's exactly what it's looking like with the Greens, the

1716
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:27,600
Speaker 23: Teals and other ragtag minorities. Perhaps you know, giving the

1717
01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:29,760
Speaker 23: vote to either side in a split house.

1718
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:30,880
Speaker 12: I mean, wouldn't that be interesting?

1719
01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:33,639
Speaker 2: What it would be? Let me ask you this question,

1720
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:37,880
Speaker 2: given people people don't follow politics in Australia, say Dunton

1721
01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:41,400
Speaker 2: ends up a couple of seats shorter majority, Are there

1722
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:44,799
Speaker 2: Independence and Teals that would side with him? Or could

1723
01:17:44,920 --> 01:17:47,320
Speaker 2: Labor be short and have a better chance with more

1724
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:49,519
Speaker 2: you know people they can pick up along the way.

1725
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:50,719
Speaker 12: I think the latter.

1726
01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:55,040
Speaker 23: I mean, Peter Dutton is just so unpopular right, He's

1727
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:58,479
Speaker 23: just a polarizing figure. There's not much love for the

1728
01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:00,720
Speaker 23: right wing over here. But I tell you what, look

1729
01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:02,600
Speaker 23: at the collapsing numbers for labor and there's not.

1730
01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:03,840
Speaker 12: Much love for the left either.

1731
01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:06,920
Speaker 23: And you know, it would be a brave person to say, well,

1732
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:10,840
Speaker 23: the Teals won't get even better results, like whenever Albanezi

1733
01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:13,880
Speaker 23: calls the election next year could be March, it could

1734
01:18:13,920 --> 01:18:17,400
Speaker 23: be as late as May, and the Teals might even

1735
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:18,479
Speaker 23: improve their position.

1736
01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:21,880
Speaker 2: Yeah's agree. I see the Teals as if you put

1737
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:24,080
Speaker 2: a gun to their head, as more left than right.

1738
01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 2: Is that fair or no yet?

1739
01:18:25,479 --> 01:18:25,599
Speaker 8: No?

1740
01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:26,320
Speaker 12: No, I think that's fair.

1741
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:29,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And so therefore Labor could do something with them,

1742
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:33,240
Speaker 2: the Greens would be Labor. So you really the coalition

1743
01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:37,240
Speaker 2: are stuck with what you would argue, say, true independence

1744
01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:39,240
Speaker 2: that may have a sort of a conservative bent to them.

1745
01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:42,040
Speaker 12: Well, I'm thinking, you know, the likes perhaps Bob Catter.

1746
01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:45,120
Speaker 23: You know, he's a very stranger individual from up far

1747
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:49,200
Speaker 23: north Queensland. If you had to, you know, go into

1748
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:52,160
Speaker 23: the tranches with Bob Catter, he would be a conservative,

1749
01:18:52,200 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 23: no doubt about it. But you've got so many others

1750
01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:58,439
Speaker 23: who are left or left leaning. The Greens very much

1751
01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:01,400
Speaker 23: chastened after what happened to them in the Queensland state election.

1752
01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:04,439
Speaker 23: They folded like a pack of cards in the last

1753
01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:08,000
Speaker 23: week of the Federal Parliament and pasted all the bills

1754
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:10,920
Speaker 23: that Labor wanted past a year ago they'll be holding

1755
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:13,880
Speaker 23: out and being well hollier than now. Well they sniffed

1756
01:19:13,920 --> 01:19:15,519
Speaker 23: the wind and thought, bloody hell, we're going to get

1757
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:17,559
Speaker 23: cream next year at the federal election if we keep

1758
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:21,200
Speaker 23: this up. So the Greens are going to be absolutely chastened,

1759
01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:24,240
Speaker 23: and I would suggest very firmly behind Labor. No one

1760
01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:26,360
Speaker 23: wants Peter Dutton to win except Peter Dutton.

1761
01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:27,559
Speaker 4: See.

1762
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:29,320
Speaker 2: You look at the economy though, and this is where

1763
01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:31,920
Speaker 2: governments do lose when you look at your liber standards.

1764
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:33,679
Speaker 2: You look at the reports out this week that says

1765
01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:36,719
Speaker 2: the economy grew anemically and the only reason it grew

1766
01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:39,519
Speaker 2: was because of government spending. And if you do it

1767
01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:41,959
Speaker 2: on a per head of population basis, you're going backwards.

1768
01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:45,599
Speaker 2: No government wins a term when that's your economy.

1769
01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:48,920
Speaker 23: And that's exactly what we saw in the United States.

1770
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:51,519
Speaker 23: Cost of living. You know, that's a very potent line.

1771
01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:53,559
Speaker 23: Are you better off than you were three years ago?

1772
01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:56,640
Speaker 23: In Australia's case, four years ago for Trump? And it

1773
01:19:56,800 --> 01:19:59,599
Speaker 23: worked for Trump and there's no reason why it can't

1774
01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:02,360
Speaker 23: have it significant residents here because people are hurting.

1775
01:20:02,439 --> 01:20:03,719
Speaker 12: We've talked about this all year.

1776
01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:06,599
Speaker 23: Mortgage rates through the roof four point three to five

1777
01:20:06,720 --> 01:20:09,120
Speaker 23: is the cash rate over here for the Reserve Bank.

1778
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:10,160
Speaker 12: No sign that's.

1779
01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:13,639
Speaker 23: Going to come down anytime soon, and people are desperately hurting.

1780
01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:15,840
Speaker 23: There's no doubt about that, and that will have a

1781
01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:18,240
Speaker 23: very significant impact of the next election. Whether it's good

1782
01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:20,559
Speaker 23: enough to give Dutton government. I don't think it is,

1783
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:23,080
Speaker 23: because I think Dutton is so unpopular. But I tell

1784
01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:24,559
Speaker 23: you what, Labor's going to get a kick in the

1785
01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:27,280
Speaker 23: pants that just won't believe, I promise you.

1786
01:20:27,479 --> 01:20:32,479
Speaker 2: Penny Wong's here in New Zealand as we speak, which

1787
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:35,080
Speaker 2: is interesting because I assume it will get raised because

1788
01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:36,920
Speaker 2: they're having what we call two plus twos and we've

1789
01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:38,720
Speaker 2: got the Foreign Minister and the Defense Minister, and you've

1790
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:41,040
Speaker 2: got Miles and Wong and they're here have a teta

1791
01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:44,200
Speaker 2: tet today. So this break at the u N is

1792
01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:48,960
Speaker 2: this Wong rud It's that old style. We're not you

1793
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:50,920
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. And they've suddenly gone off on

1794
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:53,040
Speaker 2: their own weird tangent or not really.

1795
01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:56,120
Speaker 23: Well, I'm not sure, on their own and a weird tangent,

1796
01:20:56,160 --> 01:20:58,800
Speaker 23: I mean overwhelmingly. The resolution was passed one hundred and

1797
01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:01,240
Speaker 23: fifty seven to eight all for setlers to be removed

1798
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:04,559
Speaker 23: from the West Bank. It calls for Israel to get

1799
01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:08,080
Speaker 23: out of the occupied territories to allow the creation of

1800
01:21:08,080 --> 01:21:09,120
Speaker 23: a two state solution.

1801
01:21:09,680 --> 01:21:11,360
Speaker 12: Now, is it the end of the world.

1802
01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 23: Well, if you listen to the opposition, and indeed to

1803
01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:16,320
Speaker 23: Benjamin Netanyahu, who was come out, I think for the

1804
01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:18,360
Speaker 23: first time, Nittanya, who has said listen, what are you

1805
01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:19,160
Speaker 23: doing Australia.

1806
01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:20,360
Speaker 12: You know.

1807
01:21:20,479 --> 01:21:24,080
Speaker 23: So, yes, it's a significant vote in terms of the

1808
01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:27,200
Speaker 23: way it's been received. But as far as Labor would

1809
01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:31,479
Speaker 23: have you believe, it's simply a continuation of its desire

1810
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:34,240
Speaker 23: to have a two state solution where there's Israel and

1811
01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:36,559
Speaker 23: as a Palestinian state. That's been the case for a

1812
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:39,200
Speaker 23: long time. It was bipartisan here a minute ago. But

1813
01:21:39,320 --> 01:21:42,160
Speaker 23: the way that the opposition has and the government has

1814
01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:46,000
Speaker 23: politicized this, it just seems that further apart than ever.

1815
01:21:46,080 --> 01:21:48,400
Speaker 2: Mike, Yeah, exactly, says funny thing. Our Prime minister was

1816
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:50,760
Speaker 2: asked the other day, you know, the ICC arrest warrant

1817
01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:53,320
Speaker 2: for Nittanyahu, and of course the British the other day

1818
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:56,760
Speaker 2: went well, you know, and then the Americans came out

1819
01:21:56,760 --> 01:21:59,360
Speaker 2: and win, if you do, will wreck your economy. Now,

1820
01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:01,599
Speaker 2: our prime ministers came out and said, if he turns up,

1821
01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:03,600
Speaker 2: you will arrest him because we've signed up to the

1822
01:22:03,840 --> 01:22:06,200
Speaker 2: ic C. But of course, you know we can say

1823
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:08,599
Speaker 2: that because Nittanya, who's never coming here. Have they said that?

1824
01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:11,880
Speaker 2: As Wong said that openly nittnya who lobbed into Australia,

1825
01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:14,400
Speaker 2: which is not beyond the realms of possibility. I guess

1826
01:22:14,479 --> 01:22:15,559
Speaker 2: would they arrest him?

1827
01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:18,320
Speaker 12: Look, I can't possibly answer that.

1828
01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:21,439
Speaker 23: I wouldn't know, and you know it would be it

1829
01:22:21,479 --> 01:22:24,840
Speaker 23: would be extraordinary if the Prime Minister of Israel was

1830
01:22:24,840 --> 01:22:27,600
Speaker 23: to be arrested on the warrant issue by the ic C.

1831
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:31,320
Speaker 2: That's what they signed up and that's the sort of

1832
01:22:31,439 --> 01:22:35,599
Speaker 2: vote indicates, you know, Australia's heading towards that they're you know,

1833
01:22:36,320 --> 01:22:38,479
Speaker 2: less in love with Israel than the Americans are, and

1834
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:40,559
Speaker 2: you get the ire of the Americans and then you

1835
01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:41,640
Speaker 2: know it's all on.

1836
01:22:41,960 --> 01:22:44,800
Speaker 23: It's such a complex It's such a complex issue, doesn't it.

1837
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:46,960
Speaker 12: I mean, can you ever see it being resolved?

1838
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:47,040
Speaker 1: No?

01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:49,240
Speaker 2: Of course right, Well, for you, you and I have been

1840
01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:52,599
Speaker 2: around a while. Every time it flares up, and every

01:22:52,640 --> 01:22:54,880
Speaker 2: thirteen year old journalist goes Oh my god, that's World

1842
01:22:54,880 --> 01:22:56,280
Speaker 2: War you know you're just thinking, well, I've seen this

1843
01:22:56,320 --> 01:23:00,240
Speaker 2: eight hundred times before. Don't keep your powder dry anyway.

1844
01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:03,120
Speaker 2: Murray as always a joy, a thrill, and you have

1849
01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:11,840
Speaker 2: Murray hold's best in the business. That poll, by the way,

1850
01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:14,600
Speaker 2: look it up. So it is seat by seat in

1851
01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:20,640
Speaker 2: Australia and it's just the chances of Labor getting a

1852
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:25,120
Speaker 2: majority are zero. That's what the pulse is zero. You

1853
01:23:25,160 --> 01:23:28,120
Speaker 2: need seventy six seats. We estimate there's a ninety eight

1854
01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:31,960
Speaker 2: percent chance of a minority government, slightly less than two

1855
01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:35,080
Speaker 2: percent chance of a coalition majority. The probability of Labor

1856
01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:40,559
Speaker 2: majority is now approaching zero. And it's inner city labour

1857
01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:44,840
Speaker 2: still strong, provincial and suburban. The coalition are creming it

1858
01:23:45,240 --> 01:23:46,360
Speaker 2: fourteen to two.

01:23:56,120 --> 01:23:59,440
Speaker 2: the earthquake Coffe Coast of California, hundred k's west southwest

1863
01:23:59,439 --> 01:24:03,320
Speaker 2: of fun, so that's where they're concerned about. We still

1864
01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:07,000
Speaker 2: don't have any reports of the damage or any waves

1865
01:24:07,240 --> 01:24:09,840
Speaker 2: this stage, but there is a possibility of danger, so

1866
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:13,400
Speaker 2: obviously listen to the news. Right councils quickly Queenstown Lake's

1867
01:24:13,439 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 2: district council. Actually, no, that's my favorite, so I leave

1868
01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:20,599
Speaker 2: that till last. Nelson, they're going to boycott companies who

1869
01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:24,920
Speaker 2: trade with illegal Israeli settlements. Fantastic. Good on you, Nelson.

1870
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:27,200
Speaker 2: I'm glad there's nothing else for you to do that's

1871
01:24:27,240 --> 01:24:29,720
Speaker 2: more important than worry about the Middle East, and I'm

1872
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:32,000
Speaker 2: sure the Middle East is deeply worried about what you think.

1873
01:24:32,840 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 2: Second council horror Fanua. Should local councils be submitting on

1874
01:24:37,040 --> 01:24:39,799
Speaker 2: the Treaty Principles Bill? Do elected members have a mandate

1875
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:42,719
Speaker 2: and sufficient understanding of community views on the topic? Good question,

1876
01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:46,800
Speaker 2: District council chief executive asked counselor. Is that The number

1877
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:51,280
Speaker 2: of councilors emailed saying yes, others said no. Majority responded

1878
01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:53,639
Speaker 2: to the email said no, no, we don't know enough.

1879
01:24:53,680 --> 01:24:55,920
Speaker 2: We're not into it. It's not our domain. Let's leave

1880
01:24:55,920 --> 01:25:01,599
Speaker 2: it alone. Having got that result, that's called democracy. Somebody,

1881
01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:04,880
Speaker 2: an elected member no names, has now made a notice

1882
01:25:04,880 --> 01:25:07,840
Speaker 2: of motion for the eleventh of December meeting so to

1883
01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:11,680
Speaker 2: have so having said democratically no, we shouldn't, they then

1884
01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:14,240
Speaker 2: said no, let's have a discussion about it December eleven,

1885
01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:16,760
Speaker 2: obviously going to provide a platform for them to call

1886
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:19,639
Speaker 2: everybody a racist at that meeting. So more good useful

1887
01:25:19,640 --> 01:25:23,240
Speaker 2: time at the council. My favorite Queenstowne Lake's district. They've

1888
01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:25,800
Speaker 2: been ordered to pay over forty four thousand dollars. Who

1889
01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:29,160
Speaker 2: to Peter Teal. Who's Peter Teal? He's a billionaire. Wanted

1890
01:25:29,200 --> 01:25:31,200
Speaker 2: to build a lodge. A lot of people didn't like it.

1891
01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:33,559
Speaker 2: They went to the Environment Court. The Environment Court as

1892
01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:36,920
Speaker 2: ping the council appealed the decision. This is Teel's company

1893
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:40,080
Speaker 2: appealed the decision. Appeal was declined, largely due to the

1894
01:25:40,160 --> 01:25:43,679
Speaker 2: visibility of the proposed lodge. Judge also scolded the council

1895
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:46,880
Speaker 2: for failing to defend its earlier decision to decline the

1896
01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:50,320
Speaker 2: resource consent. So they go and decline it. Teal appeals

1897
01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:54,400
Speaker 2: the Council come to the court and going, ah, I

1898
01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:57,200
Speaker 2: don't really know it's a vibe. Yeah, it's a vibe,

1899
01:25:57,200 --> 01:25:59,960
Speaker 2: it's Marbo and the judge goes, A council is not

1900
01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:02,880
Speaker 2: immune to a costs award if it has failed to

1901
01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:07,360
Speaker 2: perform its duties properly or has acted unreasonably. So the council,

1902
01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:10,519
Speaker 2: because councils of councils go, May, you can't do that, Peter,

1903
01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:13,000
Speaker 2: and he appeals and then they go to the court

1904
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:14,960
Speaker 2: and the court goes, why have you rejected that? And

1905
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:19,080
Speaker 2: they go don't know, And so they've now forked out. Congratulations,

1906
01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:22,280
Speaker 2: forty four thousand dollars you didn't have for wasting everybody's time.

1907
01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:24,439
Speaker 15: Who knew that one of the most successful businessmen in

1908
01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:26,280
Speaker 15: the world would have more of a clue about this

1909
01:26:26,320 --> 01:26:28,599
