1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: The only drive show you can trust to ask the questions, 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: get the answers by the facts, and give the analysis. 3 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,560 Speaker 1: Francisca Ruggin on Heather duples Elan Drive with one New 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: Zealand let's get connected news talk as'd be. 5 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,599 Speaker 2: Yes, good to have you with us this afternoon. On 6 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,280 Speaker 2: the show, we head to Florida where Milton has made landfall. 7 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 2: We get the latest on the conditions and how it's 8 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 2: all unfolding from our reporter on the ground. The government's 9 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 2: financial books have sunk further into debt in the year 10 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 2: to June. We talk to Finance Minister Nicola Willis about 11 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 2: how the government will respond and banks have a new 12 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 2: plan to help stop scams. More on that after six. 13 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 2: It is seven past four, Francesca, so just how much 14 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 2: Polkinghorn is enough? Polkinghorn? Today it was announced that South 15 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 2: Pacific Pictures, together with UK based production companies, are developing 16 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 2: an original limited drama series. It's called The Mysterious Death 17 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 2: of Pauline Hannah. I wonder what Pauline would say if 18 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 2: she could see the outcome of her death. Firstly, her 19 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 2: life was laid bare, her personal life forensically picked apart, 20 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 2: discussed and judged in an eight week court trial, a 21 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 2: court case that was thoroughly covered by the media. Since then, 22 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 2: it was announced that there would be a three part 23 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 2: documentary series funded by New Zealand on air to screen 24 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 2: at some point on three. Now then we had the 25 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 2: twoey billboards, and now we have the dramatization. It's a 26 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 2: lot of people making money off the tragic story of 27 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 2: the death of one woman. I totally understand why this 28 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 2: is happening, and I get the appeal. You only have 29 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 2: to look at how much this case captivated the nation. 30 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 2: It's a universally appealing story, filled with intriguing characters and 31 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 2: scandals and sex and drugs. And let's be honest, you 32 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 2: couldn't have come up with this story if you tried. 33 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 2: But there needs to be more to it than capitalizing 34 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: on a scandalous story. As I said after the document 35 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 2: the entry was made public, there is a fine line 36 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: between examining the facts and revealing something meaningful and praying 37 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 2: on a victim's tragedy for entertainment's sake. The line in 38 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 2: the press release that caught my attention was this, By 39 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: presenting the facts of the case in a responsible, forensic 40 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 2: and non judgmental way the mysterious death of Pauline Hannah 41 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 2: will let the audience decide. Is that not what the 42 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 2: court case was for? Okay, quite a bit of judgment 43 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 2: was passed in that court case that if you followed 44 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 2: the court case, and you must remember mister Polkinhorn was 45 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 2: found not guilty, you've already probably made up your own 46 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 2: mind about what happened. Do we need a dramatization? Haven't 47 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 2: we had enough? There is a place for true crime documentaries, podcasts, 48 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 2: and dramatizations. They can be a powerful way to tell 49 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 2: cautionary tales and question our justice system and the treatment 50 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 2: of victims. Just look at the Grace Meline documentary currently 51 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 2: screening on Netflix. It's called The Lie the Murder of 52 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: Grace Melane. I suggest you watch it. It's very good. 53 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 2: This is a documentary that adds context to the story. 54 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 2: It reveals new information and footage was delivered a respectful 55 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 2: time after Grace's death, and most importantly, respected the victim 56 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: and their family. Look at a time when local production 57 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 2: industry is hurting, it is good to hear about new 58 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: productions with international funding. But if Specific Pictures goes ahead 59 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 2: with this ratings winner, there is still an ethical obligation 60 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 2: to do it with care and consideration for the victim, 61 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 2: their families and friends. Francesca I did a very unscientific 62 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 2: survey in our team meeting. Only half of us were 63 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 2: interested in watching the drummer. I was not one of them. 64 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 2: To me, I think it's probably more about timing. I 65 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 2: think we've had enough right now, and I felt like 66 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 2: this woman's life has been on display and used for 67 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 2: so many various different reasons. You know what, if you 68 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 2: gave it five years, I'd probably come back and probably 69 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 2: be really interested in watching it. Also keen to find 70 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 2: out more about the funding on this. It sounds like 71 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 2: it will be funded by international partners. I probably be 72 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 2: not particularly happy if New Zealand on Air was handing 73 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 2: out more money for another Poking Horn story. Anyway, we're 74 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 2: going to talk more about the ethics around this after 75 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 2: five with the Professor of Media and Communications at Canterbury University, 76 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 2: Donald Matheson. Right, Community advocate David Littally has announced he 77 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 2: will be shutting down his South Auckland food bank, which 78 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 2: was supplying up to one thousand families a week. The 79 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 2: operation received eighty seven thousand dollars worth of government support, 80 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 2: but it was distributing more than five hundred thousand dollars 81 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 2: worth of food. David Attali says he can no longer 82 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,799 Speaker 2: sustain the costs of running the food bank as government 83 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 2: funding isn't enough to cut it, and David littally joins me. Now, hey, Dave, 84 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 2: how are you? 85 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 3: Oh? Not too bad? Tough David, it's all good. 86 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 4: Push through. 87 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 2: How big of an impact will this have on the community. 88 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 2: What happens to these families? 89 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 3: Well, it's an absolute nightmare. I mean, we leave a 90 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 3: you know, we leave a huge gap in the community, 91 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 3: and we just we've got to try to work alongside 92 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 3: and make sure that we can connect families into other 93 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 3: social services. There are services out there that that get 94 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 3: the line share of the funding, but they're not as 95 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 3: high profile and out there as us, so you know, 96 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 3: they should be quite easy if you need the help, 97 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 3: that's where they are, just like we are. But yeah, 98 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 3: so look, people are saying, well, how does it feel 99 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 3: to help so many? It feels great, But now it's 100 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,239 Speaker 3: the double edged sword because it feels it feels really bad. 101 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 5: You know. 102 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 3: You know, I've tooked up a few times when I 103 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 3: think about where where the family is going to go. 104 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 3: So yeah, across that bridge. 105 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 2: Look but Dave, you're helping. You are still helping in 106 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 2: so many ways, you know that. 107 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, we have to focus on the on the 108 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 3: hand up stuff that we're doing. We continue on with 109 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 3: all the programs that we run, the health programs, you know, 110 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 3: the employment programs and all that type of stuff. So yep, 111 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 3: that's where we're heading. And we pivoted in COVID to 112 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 3: get into the space, and now we have to pivot again. 113 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 3: Otherwise it could will just sink everything. 114 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 2: And is that that's why you're pivoting, so that you 115 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 2: don't lose everything. You can still keep those other programs running. 116 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, Otherwise you know there's going to be you know, 117 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 3: across our organization, twenty staff that will be finished. So 118 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 3: you know, if I look at our trust account, you 119 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 3: know we have which I think is typical at the moment, 120 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 3: we have about three months if things would have stopped, 121 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 3: we have about three months we could keep going, but 122 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 3: we'd have no months if we kept going with what 123 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 3: we're doing with the food share. So you know, I 124 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 3: mean I did this publicly as well because people need 125 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 3: to understand how tough. Charities and community groups are going 126 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 3: at the moment. You know, so many groups have already stopped, 127 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 3: not just stopped one part of the operation, they've stopped everything. 128 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 3: So there's all these people that are losing their jobs. 129 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 3: You know, you've got to all considering mission. They're struggling. 130 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 3: You know, got groups like that, groups like us. So 131 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 3: you know, if groups like us across the country stopped 132 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 3: because we can no longer continue, we are in deep 133 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 3: trouble in this country. 134 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 2: Dave, Is there any sign of a life coming through? 135 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 3: I did have a you know, I've had one organization 136 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 3: reach out and say we could help cover your leaf. 137 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 3: That's through what you know, we've had the Wayne Brown's 138 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 3: office reached out and said how much do you need? 139 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 3: So some promising signs there, But at the same time, 140 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 3: I don't want to take funding off other groups. You know. 141 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 3: That's so I haven't had anything from the government yet. 142 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 3: I just think, look where we hear. Everything we do 143 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 3: actually aligns really well with you. But we are a 144 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 3: hand up and not becoming not having people become reliant 145 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 3: on handouts and working for you know, break cycles of poverty. 146 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 3: But we just can't, you know, we just can't get 147 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 3: in the door. 148 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean to Dave, you know, if you 149 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 2: did get a lifeline, that it was for a short 150 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 2: period of time, do you actually want to take it? 151 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 2: I mean, to be honest, if you you sound tired, 152 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 2: this sounds like far too much hard work. 153 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the last few years. I mean, you know, 154 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 3: you're trying to raise a million bucks every year for 155 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 3: one part of your organization. It's and then you think like, well, 156 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 3: you know, we do this for children, no matter what 157 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 3: people think of the parents, right, no matter what, it's 158 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 3: not the kid's fault. And that's what drives me. And 159 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 3: that's that's the thing that's just so disheartening, you know, 160 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 3: and that these issues, I mean, it's just such a 161 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 3: common sense approach. You just have to support the groups 162 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 3: on the ground having impact with no resource. But it's 163 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 3: a long term thinking. You can't fix these problems over 164 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 3: three years. It needs to be need to look at 165 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 3: it's okay, let's let's start now, invest now so things 166 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 3: are better for our grandchildren. 167 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 2: Do you think that this is just the start of 168 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 2: more closures? Is this the reality for food banks and 169 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 2: charities is just not enough grants to go around? 170 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: Ye? 171 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 3: I've had a lot of groups already closed, and that's 172 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,839 Speaker 3: that's why I've done this publicly. A lot of group's 173 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 3: already closed. There's a lot of big groups are really struggling, 174 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 3: really struggling. And you know, he's a group you wouldn't 175 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 3: think of struggling like people would look at us and say, oh, 176 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 3: this guy's out there, has got a big brand. He 177 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 3: must just be rolling, And it's just the total opposite. 178 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 2: So on, hey, look, I know it's been a tough 179 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,599 Speaker 2: day for you, but thanks for everything you've done, and 180 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 2: thank you for your time today. 181 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 3: I appreciate that. Thank you so much. 182 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 2: That was Dave Letally there talking about the fact that 183 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 2: he can no longer sustain the costs of running his 184 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 2: food bank. He just sounds frustrated and exhausted by the 185 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 2: whole thing, doesn't he. Hurricane Milton has made landfall and 186 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 2: Florida over five point five million residents.

Were you expecting this news about Shawn Johnson. 201 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 6: No, it's goort me completely off guard. In fact, so 202 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 6: much so. 203 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 7: I was preparing for a completely different show, but those 204 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 7: plans pretty much out the window now for seven o'clock tonight. Look, 205 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 7: we got news about a couple of three hours ago 206 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 7: now that Jerome Hughes who was awarded the NRAL dally 207 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 7: M Middle for the Year, which is effectively the highest 208 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 7: individual honor. He's the key, he's halfback and he's withdrawn 209 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 7: from the specific championships against Australia and Tonga through a 210 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 7: neck injury. This was just the latest setback for head 211 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 7: coach Stacy Jones, who was already without guys like Dylan 212 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 7: Brown and Kieren Forn who play in the halves. Shawn Johnson, 213 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 7: of course retired from the NRAL and the Warriors earlier 214 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,599 Speaker 7: in the year. He had entered the media space and 215 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 7: podcast space relatively recently Francesca and he did say about 216 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 7: three or four weeks ago, I think it was if 217 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 7: Jerome Hughes was out, he might answer an his call. 218 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 7: And what do you know, three weeks later that very 219 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 7: soees call has come and he has answered it from 220 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 7: Stacy Jones. So Sean Johnson hasn't played for the Kiwis. 221 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 7: I think it's in since twenty nineteen, so this is 222 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 7: quite the comeback story. The farewell has another chapter and 223 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 7: I'm sure he'll unpack it all tonight. 224 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 6: It's an interesting one. 225 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 7: I think they have done the right thing, given there 226 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 7: are very little other options in the country. But the 227 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 7: other side of the coin too is they perhaps could 228 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 7: have gone to a young player within the squad and 229 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 7: said maybe we invest in youth and develop someone now 230 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 7: and they're better for it for the future now. 231 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 2: Nick Wimbledon is finally sort of, you know, getting into 232 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 2: the twenty first century. It's in twenty twenty four and 233 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 2: it's decided to join pretty much all the other Grand 234 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 2: Slam tournaments except for the French Open, and they're turning 235 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 2: to technology and getting rid of their line calls, their 236 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 2: human line calls. 237 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, I feel like this is a little bit sad 238 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 7: in a way, like it's just a part of history 239 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 7: and the tradition of Wimbledon cne those very well dressed 240 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 7: line umpires, they're calling faults and out calls. But yes, 241 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 7: as you say, Francisca, getting with the rest of the 242 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 7: sporting world in terms of the technology landscape with hawkeye. 243 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 6: So next year the. 244 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 7: Twenty twenty five edition of Wimbledon won't have line judges 245 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 7: will use hawkeye. That they joined the Australian Open and 246 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 7: US Opens. They went into that in twenty twenty one 247 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 7: and twenty twenty two respectively. The French openers you alluded to, 248 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 7: that's the only one that still relies on the human eye, 249 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 7: although the surface being clay obviously helps with the Marx 250 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 7: left from the tennis ball there. But it's just the 251 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 7: latest I suppose in a chapter where your technology is 252 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 7: completely taken over and we're just going to be run 253 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 7: by robots of ANU. 254 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, think of think of the num number of 255 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 2: people who won't be abused or get a ball sort 256 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 2: of in the head or true, you know. 257 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 6: That's happening at them. That's what we were having fun 258 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 6: with this morning. 259 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 7: Actually we'll never have a John McEnroe you cannot be 260 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 7: serious moment again, or that's Serena Williams outburst. Look it's yeah, 261 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 7: they've got nothing to complain about that. The accuracy is 262 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 7: ninety nine point nine. 263 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 2: Looking forward to the show tonight, Nick, thank you for 264 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 2: joining us.

We 417 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 5: know that earlier this year she was coming back from Ukraine. 418 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 5: He was there on an official visit.

And he's gone 422 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 5: missing and she's now calling on the Prime Minister to 423 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 5: do something about it. She said, listen, this is not 424 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 5: any sort of environment for women to work in. No 425 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,959 Speaker 5: fair process has been followed and she wants something to 426 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 5: be done about it because she says it's completely unacceptable 427 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 5: for women to be treated this. 428 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 2: Way and murray, is anyone paying any attention to her? 429 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 5: Look, Miles, the minister involved, says, listen, I'm not sure 430 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 5: what she's on about here. As far as we're concerned, 431 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 5: she's a good operator. There's going to be a whole 432 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 5: lot more on this. Don't worry about that now. 433 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 2: The report has been handed down on the fatal helicopter 434 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 2: crash back in August. 435 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 5: Yeah, it looks like this young chap from New Zealand, 436 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 5: twenty three year old Blake Wilson Blake Wilson. Mister Wilson 437 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 5: was a qualified pilot in the New Zealand helicopter pilot came 438 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 5: to Australia. It was not experienced flying at night and 439 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 5: he had not been appropriately licensed to fly here in Australia. 440 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 5: He was working up in Queensland in cans for an 441 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 5: aviation company and he had been there for I think 442 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 5: four and he was very well regarded. But on the 443 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 5: night that he died, he'd been celebrating with workmates. He 444 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 5: was about to get a promotion. He was going to 445 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 5: be posted out to the Barrier Reef. He's going to 446 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 5: be in charge of refueling operations out there for the company. 447 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 5: For reasons unexplained, they've had a few drinks. One thirty 448 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 5: in the morning, mister Wilson's gone out to Canns Airport, 449 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 5: used his pass to get in and taken a helicopter 450 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 5: and he's flown off towards the city of Cannes.

He was 452 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 5: upside down when he crashed into the roof of the 453 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 5: hotel and he died, and the wreckage of courser went 454 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 5: powering into a bedroom window and a couple inside there 455 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 5: were slightly injured, and so this inquire has been held 456 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 5: and basically it was death by misadventure, a. 457 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 2: Very sad story, but still sounds a little bit mysterious. Murray. 458 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 5: Well, they think he was affected by alcohol when he 459 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 5: took the helicop and we're on an unauthorized flight in 460 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 5: the middle of the night. He had not flown that 461 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 5: night before. And know the way it's been phrased, it 462 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 5: looks like he might have been drunk. So not a 463 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 5: good mixture, not a very good mixture at all. 464 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 2: So Murray, who is suggesting that government's impose a social 465 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 2: media band for children under sixteen? 466 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 5: Well, governments at least the New South Wales government so 467 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 5: to the South Australian government, and both of these administrations 468 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 5: are hosting a summit here in Sydney. What can be 469 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 5: done about protecting young people from some of the content 470 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 5: you can get online is dreadful. Everyone knows that, I 471 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 5: mean everybody over the age of sixteen knows how shocking 472 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 5: the net can be. Is also the big issue of 473 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 5: bullying on the internet. Anyway, the two state governments are 474 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 5: having this summit meeting here in Sydney. They want the 475 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 5: federal government to introduce NASH legislation makes sense of a 476 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 5: couple of states are going to do it, why not 477 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 5: do it nationally, And the federal government does plan to 478 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 5: introduce some legislation before the end of the year. Basically, 479 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 5: the meeting has brought together academics, young people, mums and dads, 480 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 5: community voices, mental health experts. A survey out only this 481 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 5: week Francesca found three out of four young people teenage 482 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 5: kids here in New South Wales three out of four 483 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 5: are accessing information about mental health on the internet. So 484 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 5: and they are saying, listen, Without this, we've got no 485 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 5: access to any information. We can't go to mum and 486 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 5: dad and say listen, we're feeling really stressed out. We 487 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 5: can't go and see a doctor ourselves because we're not 488 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 5: old enough.

This is good news. 523 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 19: Yeah, this is a really significant one, Francisca. The first 524 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 19: time Chris Luxon has met with Prime Minister Narendra Mody, 525 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 19: although they have us connected over the phone in the past, 526 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 19: and Luckson's been very clear about his interest in ramping 527 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 19: up New Zealand's connection to India. Obviously, he hopes to 528 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 19: eventually secure a free trade agreement, as this was something 529 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 19: he promised on the campaign trail that he'd be able 530 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 19: to achieve within his first term. Now, no formal negotiations 531 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 19: have begun, but Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Peters and Trade 532 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 19: Minister Tom McLay have both visited India multiple times this year, 533 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 19: indicating New Zealand's very interested in this and negotiations also 534 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,120 Speaker 19: won't be starting at today's meeting. Luxon told media about 535 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 19: an hour ago it will be more about making a 536 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 19: connection to Mody with a view to visiting India within 537 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 19: the first six months of next year. He also acknowledged 538 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 19: that in order to get a free trade agree this term, 539 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 19: which was of course the pre election pledge negotiations would 540 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 19: have to begin next year, making that visit to India 541 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 19: really crucial. 542 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 11: Now. 543 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 19: Luxon was of course also asked about how realistic and 544 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 19: ambitious and FTA with India actually is, and it did 545 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 19: seem a bit like he was trying to avoid saying 546 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 19: the words free trade agreement. He spoke instead about deepening 547 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 19: trading relationships, for example. But when pressed on that, he 548 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 19: did say that he's not backing away from that commitment. 549 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 16: He's sticking to it. 550 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 20: However ambitious it may be. 551 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 2: Well, it's not really something you bring up at the 552 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 2: first meeting to try and get it there. Yes, sign 553 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 2: see of it? Is it a meeting? He's also been 554 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 2: locked in between Luxon and his Australian and Canadian counterparts. 555 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 2: What can we expect from this, Sophie. 556 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's correct. 557 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 19: We are expecting a meeting within the coming hour actually 558 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 19: between three of the Five Eyes partners, so that's New Zealand, 559 00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 19: Australia and Canada. Chris Luxon has a good relationship with 560 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 19: both Anthony Albanesi and Justin Trudeau, and the Trio have 561 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 19: issued a number of joint statements in the past year 562 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 19: around Israel, gar around the Israel Garza conflict and have 563 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 19: taken a strong stance on Israel at times. And this 564 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,439 Speaker 19: week is of course a significant week in that we 565 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 19: are a year on from the October seven attacks that 566 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 19: reignited this conflict, and I'm interested to see what comes 567 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 19: out of this meeting and if we could see any 568 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 19: other kind of formal statement from this trio. Luxon said 569 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 19: today that's not necessarily the case, but it's always good 570 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 19: to get in a room and touch base on some 571 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 19: of these common ground issues when you have the chance. 572 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 19: Luxon told media the Trio are like minded and have 573 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 19: used this partnership particularly well in the past ten months 574 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 19: regarding the situation in the Middle East. And I think 575 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 19: it would also be interesting to see if this becomes 576 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 19: a block that will begin to kind of make statements 577 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 19: together on broader issues as well. There's obviously power in 578 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 19: speaking more collectively on certain things, and Luxon said himself, Anthony, 579 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 19: Anthony Albanezi and Justin Trudeau have common ground with him on. 580 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 4: A lot of issues. 581 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 19: So as I say, this meeting's taking place shortly this afternoon, 582 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 19: so I will have more to say on this later. 583 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 2: Thanks so much, Sophie, and just really quickly due to 584 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 2: the Collins has given an update on the Manawanui this afternoon. 585 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 19: Yes, an update on the sinking of the Manawannui. We 586 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 19: had a press conference from the Defense Minister, Judith Collins 587 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 19: and Chief of Navy Rear Admiral Garran Golding this afternoon 588 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 19: and Collins had some really strong words for what she's 589 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 19: called armchair admirals and has labeled the abuse directed at 590 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 19: Commander Yvonne Gray as deeply misogynistic. She says the one 591 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 19: thing we know did not cause the sinking was the 592 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 19: gender of the ship's captain, and she's appalled to hear 593 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 19: women in uniform are being abused in the street because 594 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 19: of this incident. 595 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 4: Now, on that Court. 596 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 19: Of Inquiry, Golding said it would look at the sequence 597 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 19: of events leading up to the grounding, the grounding itself, 598 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 19: the loss of the ship, injuries, environmental impact, among other issues, 599 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 19: and the court would provide an interim report by mid November. 600 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 19: So we should know a lot more about what happened 601 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 19: in a bit over a month on that one. 602 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 2: Thanks so much, Sophie.

Transper CEO John Clark 607 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 10: with us on this. So you do accept that the 608 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 10: damage done was somewhere between thirty and eighty and so 609 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:33,959 Speaker 10: one million's just a gesture. 610 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 3: The economic lot a lot having a service like relativesity 611 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 3: is always way higher than what charge. 612 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 10: I mean, ultimately you are responsible because you employer MIXIM. 613 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 10: But essentially they're idiots that didn't do their job. Why 614 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 10: aren't they paying nine hundred ninety nine thousand, nine hundred 615 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 10: and ninety nine And U Tossin is simply we. 616 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 3: Are responsible, whilst Cook argued how much should we shared? 617 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 21: We're comfortable that at a fifty fifty arrangement. 618 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 10: Back tomorrow at six am, the mic asking breakfast with 619 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 10: the rain Driver the Larne News Talk z B. 620 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 2: Thank you very much for your feedback this hour. We 621 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 2: were talking about searching for the children, of course with 622 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 2: their father and the bush and I just made I 623 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 2: wanted to know, actually this is a job that sort 624 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 2: of landsa the search and rescued teams could do because 625 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 2: they're very, very good at what they do. Francisca Lancer 626 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 2: volunteers nationwide are very good and well trained as well 627 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 2: as police esare personnel. The difference between a normal search 628 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 2: and Tom Phillips is that he's armed and doesn't want 629 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 2: to be found, meaning that civilians landsa can't be used 630 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 2: and it has to be left to the police to 631 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 2: do the actual searching. Thank you for that, Sean, And yeah, 632 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 2: there's a few people here saying it will be a 633 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 2: five minute job for our very good essays trackers and 634 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 2: your people asking why they haven't been out there, and 635 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 2: that is the reason. As another text reason, I think 636 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 2: the police are in a very tricky situation. If this 637 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 2: goes bad and ends up with the death, there will 638 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 2: be huge public outcry. There is a lot of sympathy 639 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 2: from him, from parents and similar circumstances and custody custody 640 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 2: disputes and as somebody tells me, stay in your lane, lady, 641 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,719 Speaker 2: stay in your lane. They're Tom's children and he can 642 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 2: do what he thinks best and maybe he should not 643 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 2: be returned to the mother. I was just making the 644 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 2: point there are also other people in those children's lives. 645 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 2: There are grandparents and extended family who would probably love 646 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 2: to give them a hug and know that they are okay. 647 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 2: I'm actually a fan of homeschooling. I don't mind as 648 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 2: a parent how you decide to raise your children and 649 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 2: whether they're homeschooled or what they do. But children also 650 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 2: need socializing. They also need to be around their peers 651 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 2: and other people. So there were sort of other other 652 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 2: things that play here that make me worry about about 653 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 2: these kids and how well they're doing. So that was 654 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 2: the sentiment that I was expressing there. But thank you 655 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 2: for your feedback. Keep it coming. Ninety two. Ninety two 656 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 2: probably won't stay in my lane. I've never been very 657 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 2: good at that, if you ask my partner. Hey, coming 658 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 2: up after the News, we are going to head to Florida. 659 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 2: We've got a problem in Florida. Not only is Milton 660 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 2: has it hit landfall. Leslie is on its way in 661 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 2: as well from the Atlantic Ocean. It has just been 662 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 2: lifted to a Category two hurricane. This could be a 663 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 2: really really big issue for Florida. So we're going to 664 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 2: cover that off after News, which is next here on 665 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 2: News talks about. 666 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 1: The only drive show you can trust. To ask the questions, 667 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 1: get the answers by the facts and give the analysis. 668 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: Francisca Ruggin on Hither Dopers Alan drive with one New Zealand, 669 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: let's get connected news. 670 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 4: Talk Zi B. 671 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 2: Good to have you with us right. Hurricane Milton has 672 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 2: made landfall in Florida, with over five point five million 673 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 2: residents told to evacuate and officials calling the conditions unsurvivable. 674 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 2: Allison Petrowski is Channel nine's UIs correspondent on the ground 675 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 2: in Temper and she is with us now. Good evening, Yeah, 676 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 2: good evening to you. Francesca. 677 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 20: I'm just hiding at the moment in my hotel room 678 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 20: in Tampa, getting away from the back end of this storm, 679 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 20: which is still roaring through Melton, still raining down very 680 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 20: much so on the Gulf coast of Florida. 681 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 2: What is the latest that you can tell us from 682 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 2: your room. 683 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 20: The latest I can tell you is that one point 684 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 20: five million people without power at the moment. I've sat 685 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 20: through a couple of blackouts on and off here in 686 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 20: the last hour hour or so. And look, we've seen 687 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 20: record rainfall. So Saint Petersburg, which is one of the 688 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,439 Speaker 20: cities just to the southwest of me, about ten kilometers away. 689 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 20: It received sixteen inches of rain in the storm, eight 690 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 20: inches of them in two hours, which makes it a 691 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 20: one in one thousand year rain event. I've sat through 692 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 20: a few of these storms Francesca here on the Golf coast. 693 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 20: The wind wasn't particularly bad. It got up to about 694 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,320 Speaker 20: one hundred and ninet kilometers an hour. Was a pretty 695 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 20: sustained Category three storm, not the worst that I've felt. 696 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 20: But the rain, it was relentless. It was a deluge 697 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 20: that did not stop. It is bucketed down for a 698 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 20: good seven or eight hours. And the backside of that 699 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 20: is that we wait to see what the flooding looks like, 700 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,720 Speaker 20: because normally when these hurricanes passed, we see a storm 701 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,799 Speaker 20: surge afterwards. And that is the big fear where I 702 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 20: am in Florida, in Tampa, Florida, where there were originally 703 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,319 Speaker 20: storm surges forecast of up to twelve fourteen feet, so 704 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:32,280 Speaker 20: you'd imagine that's you know, higher than the first story 705 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 20: of most buildings. So everyone was told to kind of 706 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,280 Speaker 20: stay above the second floor of whatever hotel or whatever 707 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,839 Speaker 20: residential tower you were staying on, and keep an eye 708 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 20: on and hope for the best. 709 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 2: Oh, that's really interesting. So even when the winds die 710 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,719 Speaker 2: down and the rain eases a little bit, Ellison, you 711 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 2: don't just sort of hit out and go, and you know, 712 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,720 Speaker 2: as seist the situation, you have to be really aware 713 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 2: of that, of that storm. 714 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 4: Okay, things don't just go back to normal. 715 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,320 Speaker 20: Yeah, sometimes it can take hours. In fact of that, 716 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,800 Speaker 20: you know, seventy two hours later the storm sturge surge 717 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 20: really start to rise up. 718 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 4: It's an interesting phenomenon. 719 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 20: And I guess these Floridians who ride out so many 720 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 20: of these hurricanes, they are very used to it. But 721 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 20: for us Aussies and for Kiwi's, it's definitely something that 722 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:15,839 Speaker 20: we're not used to seeing. 723 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,440 Speaker 2: I think first responders still suspended. 724 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 20: They are, and it's complicated here where I am in Tampa. 725 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 20: The storm has died down enough that they can get 726 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 20: around if need be. But when it comes to those 727 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 20: barrier islands along the Gulf coast, those beautiful, beautiful islands 728 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 20: which are removed from the mainland and only connected by road, 729 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 20: those bridges were shut down a good ten hours ago 730 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,360 Speaker 20: and they are yet to reopen. They and those residents 731 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 20: on those islands who decided to ride it out, they 732 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 20: were warned, Hey, have enough supplies for a week, have 733 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 20: enough food and water for a week, because it may 734 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 20: take us that long to get to you. So they 735 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 20: had that warning. A few of them did decide to 736 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 20: write it out and hopefully they are not in need 737 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 20: of aid, because, yeah, you're right, emergency services won't be 738 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 20: able to get through to them until we know the 739 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,799 Speaker 20: extent of the damage. Until the sun comes up, which 740 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 20: is still many many hours away, we won't really know 741 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,759 Speaker 20: if anyone needs help there and the true extent of 742 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:14,840 Speaker 20: Milton's force on that side of Florida. 743 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a waiting game, isn't it. Do you know 744 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 2: how many people have ignored evacuation orders? 745 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 20: No, we don't have an exact number. There was an 746 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 20: estimate around today from Tampa officials saying that they believe 747 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 20: ninety eight percent of the county here had successfully evacuated. 748 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 20: Being on the ground yesterday, I was on Treasure Island, 749 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 20: one of those barrier islands. I went there because it 750 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 20: was hit by Hurricane Helene less than two weeks ago, 751 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 20: and because of that, most residents said to me that 752 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 20: they were a big gun shy. They didn't want to 753 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,400 Speaker 20: go through a second storm this close together. That to 754 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 20: them was unprecedented, no matter how many storms they had seen, 755 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,880 Speaker 20: so they decided to move. I did talk to a 756 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:54,279 Speaker 20: handful that decided to stay, a retired firefighter who told me, Hey, 757 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 20: I've sat through every one of these storms. I've lived 758 00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,319 Speaker 20: here for seventy years. I'm not leaving. I've built this house, 759 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,720 Speaker 20: I've got a generate. I'll be fine. I do plan 760 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 20: to try and get to him tomorrow to see if 761 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 20: he's okay. But that is the kind of attitude that 762 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,799 Speaker 20: we tend to see from Floridians because they are so 763 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 20: used to these hurricanes every single summer, absolutely hammering them 764 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:13,960 Speaker 20: along that coast. 765 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,720 Speaker 2: Allison, just quickly, how do you feel about Hurricane Leslie, 766 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 2: which has just been turned into a Category two storm 767 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:26,760 Speaker 2: off the coast in the ocean there hitting your way. 768 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 20: Well, I've purposely put my blinkers on franchise. 769 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,960 Speaker 2: Okay, or one hurricane at a time. 770 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,319 Speaker 4: Yes, correct, that's right, that's right. 771 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,880 Speaker 20: Look, I think everyone is so swept up with what 772 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,840 Speaker 20: Hurricane Milton is doing right now that Leslie is an afterthought. 773 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,680 Speaker 20: That sometimes is dangerous thinking, though, because often the ones 774 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,319 Speaker 20: are a little bit of small Category ones, category twos, they 775 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 20: can suddenly ferociously explode into something much bigger. But let's 776 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 20: leave that for a problem for night Dog. 777 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 2: Allison, you worry about Milton, I'll worry about Leslie for you. 778 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 2: Thank you so much for your time. Was Allison Trowski. 779 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,360 Speaker 2: She is the Channel nine reporter in Florida. It is 780 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:08,719 Speaker 2: twelve past five, Francisco, right. The government's financial books have 781 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 2: sunk further into debt. In the year to June. Treasury 782 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,440 Speaker 2: has revealed the deficit on the Crown books deepened by 783 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,439 Speaker 2: three point four billion dollars. It was also one point 784 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 2: eight billion dollars worse than Treasury forecast in the May budget. 785 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,799 Speaker 2: Nikola Willis is the Minister of Finance and she is 786 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 2: with us now. Good afternoon, Nicola, thank. 787 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 22: You for being with us. Great to be on the show. 788 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 2: What's your reaction to these numbers? 789 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 22: Well, look, this just underscores the need for the government's 790 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 22: ongoing efforts to restore discipline to public spending. Where we 791 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,920 Speaker 22: were elected on a mandate of tidying up the books, 792 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,320 Speaker 22: for storing a bit more respect for tax payers money 793 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,800 Speaker 22: and getting New Zealand back into a more sustainable financial position, 794 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,719 Speaker 22: and these numbers underscore why that is so necessary. Of course, 795 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,319 Speaker 22: they relate to the year that's passed, during which a 796 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,240 Speaker 22: very important event happened, which was a change of government 797 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,280 Speaker 22: and taking a much more disciplined path going forward. 798 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,760 Speaker 2: What is driving this? What are the expenses the main ones? 799 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:10,000 Speaker 22: Well, look, there's been a real build up in the 800 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 22: amount of spending that the government does as a proportion 801 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,880 Speaker 22: of the overall economy. That's increased dramatically in recent years, 802 00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:22,720 Speaker 22: adding one hundred and eighteen billion dollars to New Zealand 803 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 22: government debt in just five years. And that's what happens 804 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,920 Speaker 22: when people are all disciplined about the spending choices they make. 805 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 22: We've sent significant growth across the public sector. We've seen 806 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,520 Speaker 22: lots of spending going in lots of different directions, and we've 807 00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,359 Speaker 22: come in and seeing that is not sustainable. Essentially, we're 808 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,800 Speaker 22: spending more than we earn, that we are living beyond 809 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:49,279 Speaker 22: our means, and just like any household or business, we 810 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,239 Speaker 22: need to get those books back in balance. And we've 811 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,880 Speaker 22: seen in New Zealanders we've seen that does involve some 812 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 22: task decisions. It does mean we can't say yes to 813 00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 22: everything that we want to. At the same time, we 814 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:04,080 Speaker 22: can drive investment where it's needed by pulling our belt 815 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:05,840 Speaker 22: in on the things that are less necessary. 816 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,719 Speaker 2: Minister, can can you just keep cutting? Is that the 817 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,480 Speaker 2: way we're going to counter it? 818 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,600 Speaker 22: Well, we've made a pledge that we will continue to 819 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:17,320 Speaker 22: invest more in the health system and every single budget 820 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 22: that we deliver more funding will go into our schools. 821 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,920 Speaker 22: We're going to keep funding those important frontline services. But 822 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,720 Speaker 22: what that requires from us is that we keep looking 823 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 22: across all of the spending that the government does to say, well, 824 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,719 Speaker 22: where's it being wasted? Where's it not going to a 825 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 22: good use, where is it not actually delivering good outcomes 826 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 22: for the New Zealanders it's meant to serve. And so 827 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,719 Speaker 22: as committed for as long as I'm Finance Minister, I 828 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:45,719 Speaker 22: expect every public agency, every minister, every day to be 829 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,359 Speaker 22: looking at where's the money not delivering really for tex 830 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 22: Player because if we can put that money into a 831 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,880 Speaker 22: school or a hospital, we should do. 832 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,440 Speaker 2: You regreet to the tax cuts, the tax cuts in 833 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 2: light of. 834 00:41:55,880 --> 00:42:00,520 Speaker 22: This absolutely not. You know, you can't operate as a 835 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,080 Speaker 22: government by saying we'll just spend waiver we want and 836 00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:06,359 Speaker 22: then more treat taxpayers like a bottomless atm who can 837 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 22: keep funding that and that was essentially the approach of 838 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,799 Speaker 22: the last government. They allowed the amount of tax that 839 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:15,320 Speaker 22: New Zealanders we're paying to increase dramatically and that was 840 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 22: hitting working people. And my view is that every family, 841 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,759 Speaker 22: every household, knows how to spend their money after their 842 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,840 Speaker 22: best studs, and as a government we need to respect 843 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,920 Speaker 22: that our tax cuts were modest. 844 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 23: They just restored a bit of balance. 845 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,920 Speaker 2: Minister of Finance Nichola Willis, thank you so much for 846 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,440 Speaker 2: your time.

The 865 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 2: high profile murder trial in which Philip Pokinghorn was found 866 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 2: not guilty of murdering his wife Pauline Hannah, is set 867 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 2: to be turned into a drama series. Development of the 868 00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:54,239 Speaker 2: dramatized storytelling was announced today by South Pacific Pictures. This 869 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,799 Speaker 2: comes after veteran documentary maker Mark McNeil confirmed he is 870 00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:01,560 Speaker 2: creating a three part documentary series of the trial. Donald 871 00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,680 Speaker 2: Mathisone is a professor of media and communications at Canterbury University, 872 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:08,279 Speaker 2: and he is with me now, good afternoon, Donald, I 873 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:12,680 Speaker 2: sure do we need another project retelling this story? 874 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:19,279 Speaker 24: It seems a weava early, and I know that media 875 00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 24: organizations are really keen to get in quite early to 876 00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:26,320 Speaker 24: grab the story before someone else does, and also before 877 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,920 Speaker 24: interest in it wings, But it feels to me too soon. 878 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:34,600 Speaker 24: After the trial after Owen Hannah's death, thinking of all 879 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:36,440 Speaker 24: the people who have caught for the trauma of the 880 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,880 Speaker 24: trial and then the inquest, and then they'll be this 881 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 24: dramatization coming out soon after. So that feels to me like, 882 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:47,440 Speaker 24: you know, if you're profiting from other people's suffering, you 883 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:49,279 Speaker 24: need to leave a bit of time to that so 884 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:50,800 Speaker 24: that that's suffering. 885 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,960 Speaker 2: Lessons are weaver, I couldn't agree with you more. Is 886 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,360 Speaker 2: there a risk of defamation or an accuracy with media 887 00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:58,239 Speaker 2: projects like. 888 00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:03,040 Speaker 24: This if they stick close to the material that was 889 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,560 Speaker 24: raised in the court. I suppose they are. You know, 890 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:09,640 Speaker 24: they'll they'll have people looking closely at that. There was 891 00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,200 Speaker 24: a lot of material for them to look at, then 892 00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:17,080 Speaker 24: maybe they'll be okay. I think the worry is more 893 00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:21,160 Speaker 24: that it's kind of relitigating the trial, and I think 894 00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,480 Speaker 24: that has to be quite a big public interest in 895 00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,920 Speaker 24: doing that. You know, evidence that hasn't been heard or 896 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,240 Speaker 24: things that haven't been dealt with adequately in the trial, 897 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,319 Speaker 24: and then there's a case for someone to come in 898 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:38,320 Speaker 24: and and do a public investigation into into the story 899 00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:43,240 Speaker 24: or a dramatization. But I haven't heard any any statement 900 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,640 Speaker 24: like that from the from the publicity that's come out. 901 00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 2: I mean we still have a coronial inquiset to go to, 902 00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:51,279 Speaker 2: don't we. The trial was quite literally live bloged from 903 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,520 Speaker 2: the court room. What were your thoughts on the ethics 904 00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,279 Speaker 2: of media coverage like this. 905 00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:00,319 Speaker 24: Yeah, there's always a risk when you're when you're life 906 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:04,279 Speaker 24: blogging or live covering a trial, that you'll be focusing 907 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,320 Speaker 24: on the things that have been said in the moment 908 00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:09,520 Speaker 24: and not putting them into the context of each other. 909 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,120 Speaker 24: And so you're throwing a whole lot of details at 910 00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:16,160 Speaker 24: people without putting them into context, and that doesn't you know, 911 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,840 Speaker 24: there's a risk to probably understanding of the story there. 912 00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,160 Speaker 24: I mean, judges have got the capacity to restrict that. 913 00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:28,880 Speaker 24: It's worried that something might be said and name suppressed, 914 00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,640 Speaker 24: and that if it was being covered live, that that 915 00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:37,319 Speaker 24: could go out and for the suppression at risk. But 916 00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:42,319 Speaker 24: I think the big issue is that it's it can 917 00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,280 Speaker 24: get a bit viuristic. It's about the excitement of hearing 918 00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,839 Speaker 24: things live rather than understanding the justice process in action. 919 00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,480 Speaker 2: Tonal, thank you so much for your thoughts. Appreciate it. 920 00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 2: That was Donald Mathison, Professor of Media and Communications at 921 00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:58,320 Speaker 2: Kenterbury University. I just received a text saying Francesca, interesting, 922 00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,960 Speaker 2: sixteen inches of rain is for dred milimeters and that's 923 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:05,080 Speaker 2: what had hit Tampa. In Gabrielle we measured seven hundred 924 00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,960 Speaker 2: millimeters and fifteen hours in Hawks Bay. Thank you for 925 00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,920 Speaker 2: that text, Mark. I was thinking about that actually as 926 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:14,400 Speaker 2: I was talking to Allison. Good to hear maybe not 927 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,520 Speaker 2: so much wind in Florida. A lot of rain. Of course, 928 00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,360 Speaker 2: there was still so much debris lying around from Helene 929 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:23,719 Speaker 2: and that was a big concern in the wind. I mean, 930 00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:25,799 Speaker 2: I'm sure a lot of it has moved around, but 931 00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:27,239 Speaker 2: it is a bit of a waiting game there to 932 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,120 Speaker 2: really see what the impact has been. It is twenty 933 00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,759 Speaker 2: three past five year with news talks AB the. 934 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,480 Speaker 1: Name you trust to get the answers you need, it's 935 00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:39,000 Speaker 1: Francesca Ruskin on hither Duper c Ellan Drive with one 936 00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,239 Speaker 1: New Zealand let's get connected news talk as z' be. 937 00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 2: Thank you for your feedback, Hi, Franchisca. I think this 938 00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:49,520 Speaker 2: Polkinghorn documentary idea is absolutely disgraceful. They have no compassion 939 00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:51,799 Speaker 2: for Hannah's family. I for one will not be watching it. Well, 940 00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:53,799 Speaker 2: there's the documentary and now there's going to be a 941 00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:57,600 Speaker 2: limited drama series on it as well, so you'll be 942 00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,560 Speaker 2: able to watch the court case unfold again, and then 943 00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:01,680 Speaker 2: you'll be able to what the dramatized version where a 944 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,600 Speaker 2: bit of creative license will be put in place. You know, 945 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:08,320 Speaker 2: I tend to look I agreed with what Donald's here before, 946 00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,200 Speaker 2: give it time in time. It's so much easier to 947 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,160 Speaker 2: take these things on board, isn't it more. Texian Nicola 948 00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:16,560 Speaker 2: Willis continues to convene. You forget COVID, what it cost 949 00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,600 Speaker 2: every government who was empowered at the time, and it's 950 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 2: inevitable effect on successive governments.

The kids have no social interaction in the 957 00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,880 Speaker 2: girls will need personal care products and probably bit of guidance. 958 00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:46,480 Speaker 2: And all those kids are not getting any form of 959 00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 2: measurable education, which will set them back.

And that's what I want to get round 992 00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:53,200 Speaker 2: saying that a partner. It's very exciting we have our winner. 993 00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:55,640 Speaker 2: They do this before and after photos. Basically that's what 994 00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,240 Speaker 2: they do, and you pick the bear you best believe 995 00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:04,680 Speaker 2: exemplifies winter preparedness by the fat that they've accumulated over 996 00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:07,879 Speaker 2: the summer feeding on the salmon that returned to Brooks River, 997 00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:10,520 Speaker 2: which is home to some of the largest brown bears 998 00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:12,799 Speaker 2: in the world, as they ready themselves for hibernation. So 999 00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:15,320 Speaker 2: basically they're looking for the bear that's called the fattest, 1000 00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:18,520 Speaker 2: and you reward them. But here's the great thing. If 1001 00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:23,200 Speaker 2: you love cat videos, but you'd quite like your you know, 1002 00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:26,120 Speaker 2: your videos of the of the Animal Kingdom to have 1003 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:29,560 Speaker 2: a little bit more Jeopardy involved. You know, Paul Cub's 1004 00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,239 Speaker 2: been killed various other things. Then go and have a 1005 00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:34,920 Speaker 2: look at a sport dot org. There are live cameras 1006 00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,520 Speaker 2: and you actually get to watch these bears sitting in 1007 00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:42,640 Speaker 2: these rivers playing catching salmon. It is absolutely stunning. I 1008 00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:46,560 Speaker 2: can understand and see I can totally understand and see 1009 00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:50,680 Speaker 2: why this has been just such an amazing thing for Alaska. Although, 1010 00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:55,360 Speaker 2: just like Bird of the Year, has its controversies, Fat 1011 00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:58,680 Speaker 2: Bear Week also had to be pushed back a week 1012 00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:02,080 Speaker 2: because there was a fire between two brown bears at 1013 00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:05,640 Speaker 2: the National Park which left one dead, and unfortunately this 1014 00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:10,160 Speaker 2: was captured on the live stream. So just just remember 1015 00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:11,880 Speaker 2: that when you sit down with your kids this weekend 1016 00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:14,880 Speaker 2: and go look at this these incredible bears in Alaska. 1017 00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:16,640 Speaker 2: Just just in the back of your mind, you want 1018 00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:19,960 Speaker 2: to keep that in check. But congratulations to one two 1019 00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:25,319 Speaker 2: eight Grazer who's taken out the title fat Bear for 1020 00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:30,160 Speaker 2: a second time in a row. It is a twenty 1021 00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:31,160 Speaker 2: one two. 1022 00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:35,800 Speaker 1: Six the Huddle with New Zealand Southerby's International Realty, local 1023 00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,359 Speaker 1: and global exposure like no other okay. 1024 00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,680 Speaker 2: Joining me on the huddle tonight, we have Mike Monroe, 1025 00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:44,440 Speaker 2: former Labor Party chief of staff. Good evening, great, how 1026 00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,560 Speaker 2: are you good? Thank you? And David Faraki we blog 1027 00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:50,600 Speaker 2: Anchory Upholster. Hi David. Oh hey, look, I just want 1028 00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:51,919 Speaker 2: to throw this out to the two of you. I've 1029 00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:53,880 Speaker 2: made it really clear. I don't need to see anything 1030 00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,279 Speaker 2: more about the Pokinghorn trial for a while. I think 1031 00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:59,120 Speaker 2: that Pauline Hannah should just be allowed to rest in 1032 00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,480 Speaker 2: peace for a little while. They stood her family and friends. 1033 00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:03,520 Speaker 2: I don't need to see a documentary in a hurry, 1034 00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:05,520 Speaker 2: and I don't need to see a dramatization. You might 1035 00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:10,719 Speaker 2: feel very differently. You might be right up for it, Mikey. 1036 00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,560 Speaker 13: No, Look, I tend to agree. It just sort of 1037 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:19,239 Speaker 13: feels it feels too soon. Look, I know it's been 1038 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:23,600 Speaker 13: a highly interesting case and a lot of people followed 1039 00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:28,960 Speaker 13: it very closely, and it's been a very salacious case 1040 00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:29,880 Speaker 13: as well, I guess. 1041 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:30,720 Speaker 4: In many ways. 1042 00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:34,560 Speaker 13: But look, you know, I think these sorts of issues 1043 00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:36,960 Speaker 13: are normally revisited a bit further down the track. I 1044 00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:40,160 Speaker 13: think people who make films and documentaries on such cases 1045 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:44,000 Speaker 13: tend to provide a bit of space for everyone to 1046 00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:48,960 Speaker 13: sort of absorb what's happened. It just feels unseemly rapid 1047 00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:52,600 Speaker 13: to be talking about a program at this early stage. 1048 00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,319 Speaker 2: Would you watch one? Would you watch a dramatization or 1049 00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:56,160 Speaker 2: the doc o' David? 1050 00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, Lock Eye Wall. It is a bit too early. 1051 00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:03,319 Speaker 25: Inevitable they were going to do one because it has 1052 00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:08,120 Speaker 25: probably the two elements that appeal genuine debate in the 1053 00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:11,280 Speaker 25: community about who did it, But like the David Bain case, 1054 00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:16,280 Speaker 25: Peter Ellis, etcetera, and of course, as Mike said, very salacious, etcetera. 1055 00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:17,360 Speaker 4: So it was inevitable. 1056 00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:19,840 Speaker 25: But it is a bit bad taste to like you 1057 00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:24,399 Speaker 25: have already started effectively before the trial's over. What does 1058 00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:26,719 Speaker 25: interest me, though, I have to say, is going to 1059 00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:29,000 Speaker 25: be the casting who will play medicine action. 1060 00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:34,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're sucked in, aren't you? You can't wait. 1061 00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:37,800 Speaker 26: Fair enough? 1062 00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:40,080 Speaker 2: Gentlemen, I'd like to talk to you about Wellington City 1063 00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:43,600 Speaker 2: councilors this afternoon. They're voted against selling the airport shares. 1064 00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:45,319 Speaker 2: This is going to have quite an impact on their 1065 00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:47,839 Speaker 2: long term plan. How tricky is this going to make things? 1066 00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:51,279 Speaker 8: Mike, Uh, yeah, it is going to be tricky, And 1067 00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:54,120 Speaker 8: and I felt the sort of case that was made 1068 00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:58,160 Speaker 8: for you for selling the shares and setting sorry selling 1069 00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:02,720 Speaker 8: the shareholding and setting up the investment fund, the perpetual fund, 1070 00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:04,000 Speaker 8: it sort of made sense. 1071 00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:10,879 Speaker 13: I mean, Wellington faced enormous risks in this regard, and 1072 00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:19,120 Speaker 13: I think the case was made previously that that Gelling 1073 00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:22,279 Speaker 13: cheerholding was going to help fund that idea. I think 1074 00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:26,319 Speaker 13: in the ends of politics took over the Labor and 1075 00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:29,880 Speaker 13: Green Party machines have got pretty active on this, and 1076 00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:32,640 Speaker 13: I think that the you know, they whipped into line 1077 00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:38,759 Speaker 13: their counselors. So I think, yeah, it's unfortunate because there 1078 00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,240 Speaker 13: was a good economic case in terms of well Eason's 1079 00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:43,360 Speaker 13: future for going ahead with the sale. 1080 00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, the vote was narrow nine to seven against the sale. 1081 00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:48,560 Speaker 2: Where do you think this leaves the council. 1082 00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:54,000 Speaker 25: David probably facing either rates going up or having to 1083 00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:55,320 Speaker 25: cut spending elsewhere. 1084 00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:58,520 Speaker 4: But the big worry is the resilience. 1085 00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:02,160 Speaker 25: A former airport director Paul Release, must make really good case, 1086 00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:05,799 Speaker 25: which is a lot the council needs some capital for 1087 00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:09,640 Speaker 25: when there's something like a big earthquake. Of its commercial 1088 00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,239 Speaker 25: investments is tied up in this minority state in the 1089 00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:15,520 Speaker 25: airport and what asset is probably going to plummet and 1090 00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:18,680 Speaker 25: venue after an earthquake the airport because no one's going 1091 00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:21,040 Speaker 25: to be flying in or out for months, and the 1092 00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,040 Speaker 25: airport itself could well be damaged. 1093 00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:24,960 Speaker 4: So if the whole purpose. 1094 00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:30,680 Speaker 25: Is resilience, then it's a very bad investment to have. So, yeah, 1095 00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:33,839 Speaker 25: it is a pity it didn't happen, and I think 1096 00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:36,520 Speaker 25: the council has a real problem working out where to 1097 00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:37,000 Speaker 25: go now. 1098 00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:40,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be well. Look, I mean Wellington 1099 00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:43,480 Speaker 2: certainly provides us with the Wellington City Council definitely provides 1100 00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:45,680 Speaker 2: us with an awful lot of entertainment. 1101 00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:45,960 Speaker 4: Mic. 1102 00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,200 Speaker 2: We just never quite know how it's all going to unfold, 1103 00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:48,480 Speaker 2: do we. 1104 00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,959 Speaker 4: Community Brown it makes him look so good. 1105 00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:57,759 Speaker 25: Wayne must like right letters to Wellington every week. 1106 00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:03,719 Speaker 4: Because but by comparison, yeah. 1107 00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:05,560 Speaker 2: Do you know what I had. I can't remember what 1108 00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:07,239 Speaker 2: we were talking about the other day, but someone did 1109 00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:09,799 Speaker 2: text me and just say could you just send Wayne down? 1110 00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:12,160 Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, okay. 1111 00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:13,719 Speaker 15: I get it, but you might. 1112 00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:15,759 Speaker 2: I don't know whether you'll be happy about that when 1113 00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:21,880 Speaker 2: he arrives waiting. So let's talk about Community Advocate Dave Lettely, 1114 00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,360 Speaker 2: who's had to shut down his South Auckland food bank. 1115 00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:29,960 Speaker 2: He just cannot sustain it. You know, he's feeling pretty 1116 00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:33,000 Speaker 2: down about having to let these families down. But I 1117 00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,400 Speaker 2: mean it's also sort of says a lot about where 1118 00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:38,439 Speaker 2: we're at for a lot of charities and things, doesn't it, David. 1119 00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:39,640 Speaker 2: It's just tough. 1120 00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:42,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, great on them. 1121 00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:46,480 Speaker 25: What he has done has been amazing, and it is 1122 00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:50,200 Speaker 25: really sad that the support from corporate is something there 1123 00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:52,520 Speaker 25: like it used to if you look for silver lining. 1124 00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:55,840 Speaker 25: He did say a number of families accessing the services 1125 00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:59,200 Speaker 25: dropped from a thousand to a couple of hundreds. But 1126 00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:01,760 Speaker 25: let's not be There's always going to be people who 1127 00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:02,959 Speaker 25: need food banks, etc. 1128 00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:07,640 Speaker 4: So it's just a matter of hoping that the other 1129 00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:11,240 Speaker 4: providers out there, like the missions, etc. Can step up. 1130 00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:17,000 Speaker 2: Is this what is this a job for community advocates 1131 00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:18,479 Speaker 2: like Dave Mike? 1132 00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:20,760 Speaker 4: Well? 1133 00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:23,600 Speaker 13: Look, the good thing about well, I shouldn't really say 1134 00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:26,360 Speaker 13: a good thing. What I would point out is that 1135 00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:28,600 Speaker 13: in South Auckland there are a lot of food banks. 1136 00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:31,400 Speaker 13: I actually got online the South to munt check the 1137 00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:34,280 Speaker 13: distribution in South Auckland, and there's about ten or a 1138 00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:37,479 Speaker 13: dozen food banks scattered through that region, which just tells 1139 00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:39,600 Speaker 13: you something about the sort of number of people in 1140 00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:42,760 Speaker 13: that area of requiring help, and it just underlines the 1141 00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:47,320 Speaker 13: inequality in our society is really impacting on an area 1142 00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:52,440 Speaker 13: like South Auckland. I think the service littally was providing 1143 00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,240 Speaker 13: was you know, it was a tremendous one, but as 1144 00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:58,400 Speaker 13: David pointed out, demand for his particular service has fallen 1145 00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:01,520 Speaker 13: off in recent times. I think Littelly has always been 1146 00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:05,240 Speaker 13: us of a larger than life figure because his sporting background, 1147 00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:07,720 Speaker 13: his dad's sort of mungol and mob connections, et cetera. 1148 00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:09,640 Speaker 13: So there's always going to be a lot more focus 1149 00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:13,920 Speaker 13: I guess on David Telly's service in South Aukrind but. 1150 00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:15,840 Speaker 2: That I wouldn't A lot of charity is doing it tough. 1151 00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:19,360 Speaker 13: Well they are, Yeah, I mean that they are doing 1152 00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:21,880 Speaker 13: it tough, and I guess it just as I say, 1153 00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:26,880 Speaker 13: underlines the real inequality issues that we still haven't addressed 1154 00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:30,320 Speaker 13: properly in this country. We shouldn't have to we shouldn't 1155 00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:33,000 Speaker 13: have to rely, shouldn't have to rely on so many 1156 00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:34,760 Speaker 13: food banks picking up the slack like that. 1157 00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:39,120 Speaker 4: But it's just a factive life and we've got. 1158 00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:40,680 Speaker 13: To find a better way of making sure that they 1159 00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:44,440 Speaker 13: can provide their service, you know, efficiently and comprehensively. 1160 00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:46,800 Speaker 2: You're with the Huddle. We're going to take a quick 1161 00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:48,160 Speaker 2: break at is A fourteen. 1162 00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:52,160 Speaker 1: To sex the Huddle with New Zealand Southby's International Realty 1163 00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:53,960 Speaker 1: elevate the marketing of your home. 1164 00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:56,920 Speaker 2: Yes, you're with the Huddle. And I guess and Mike 1165 00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:00,400 Speaker 2: Munroe and David Farrer, David. I just I woke to 1166 01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:02,680 Speaker 2: the Minister of Finance, Nichola Willis, and I asked her 1167 01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:05,880 Speaker 2: if if you take a look at the government's financial books, 1168 01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:08,880 Speaker 2: which have sunk further into debt, whether she was still 1169 01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:12,160 Speaker 2: whether she regretted the text cuts and she said no, no, no, 1170 01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:14,280 Speaker 2: no no. Do you think she might be I. 1171 01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:15,640 Speaker 4: Don't think so. 1172 01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:19,880 Speaker 25: No, not her old lock twelve years of stealth tax 1173 01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:24,920 Speaker 25: increases that they had to be offering people something and 1174 01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:28,160 Speaker 25: you can disagree over that numbers, but they did make 1175 01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:29,160 Speaker 25: some cut s elswhere. 1176 01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:33,240 Speaker 4: But what we now have is I've just been looking 1177 01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:33,960 Speaker 4: at the numbers. 1178 01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:38,600 Speaker 25: We're paying ten billion dollars a year in interest on 1179 01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:42,439 Speaker 25: the debt that's built up over the last twenty years 1180 01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:45,320 Speaker 25: or so, and think of what you could do with 1181 01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:47,960 Speaker 25: that ten billion dollars if you weren't seeing it to 1182 01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:51,320 Speaker 25: banks and overseas lenders. 1183 01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:54,600 Speaker 4: Et cetera. So yeah, you can get into a virtuous circle. 1184 01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,680 Speaker 25: They get back into surplus and they start paying the 1185 01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:00,840 Speaker 25: debt down. Then the interest payments stared dropping. You have 1186 01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:05,160 Speaker 25: more money for health education. So there's a switching point 1187 01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:08,920 Speaker 25: where you go from really tough to actually things become 1188 01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:10,400 Speaker 25: easier from a fiscal point. 1189 01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:12,880 Speaker 2: Were you surprised by those numbers, Mike, I mean we've 1190 01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:15,680 Speaker 2: been we've been hearing about what's happening to health New Zealand. 1191 01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:18,040 Speaker 2: We know that there have been higher acc claims, gost 1192 01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:21,680 Speaker 2: all sorts of things. I wasn't hugely surprised, were. 1193 01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:25,680 Speaker 13: You No, I wasn't, And I think I think Nicola 1194 01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:28,120 Speaker 13: Willis is now discovering the sort of grim realities of 1195 01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:31,880 Speaker 13: her job. You know, there's enormous cost pressures in the economy, 1196 01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:35,400 Speaker 13: and I've been there for a long time. Robertson struggling 1197 01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:37,040 Speaker 13: to deal with them in the latter days the labor 1198 01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:41,080 Speaker 13: government and now Nicola Willison's sort of inherited them. You know, 1199 01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:44,280 Speaker 13: government expenses have gone up by I think it was 1200 01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:47,160 Speaker 13: eleven percent over the last year and revenue has only 1201 01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:50,240 Speaker 13: gone up by nine percent, and therein lies the problem. 1202 01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:52,720 Speaker 4: These enormous pressures. 1203 01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:54,360 Speaker 13: Are just making it very very hard to get on 1204 01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:57,800 Speaker 13: top of the deficit. And I disagree with David around 1205 01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:00,000 Speaker 13: the tax cuts. I do think they were a good 1206 01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:02,440 Speaker 13: idea at the stage. I mean, the government has to 1207 01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:04,960 Speaker 13: commit fourteen billion dollars those tax cuts over the next 1208 01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,280 Speaker 13: four years, and that money would have gone a long 1209 01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:11,640 Speaker 13: way to easing the problems elsewhere in the economy. I 1210 01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:14,840 Speaker 13: know that national government's always dangled the sort of the 1211 01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:18,480 Speaker 13: tax cuts policy in front of voters come election time, 1212 01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:22,440 Speaker 13: but I just think they didn't really take account of 1213 01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:25,520 Speaker 13: the enormous pressures and the problems that they were facing 1214 01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:28,919 Speaker 13: when they came into government ten twelve months ago. So 1215 01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:32,920 Speaker 13: I think that they're now been demonstrated to have been 1216 01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:34,360 Speaker 13: a very rash move. 1217 01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:38,080 Speaker 2: David, how does this impact the deadline for returning to 1218 01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:41,400 Speaker 2: the government books returning the government books to surplus In 1219 01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:44,200 Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven, that was sort of a was announced, 1220 01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:46,280 Speaker 2: but now it feels a bit more like a casual chat. 1221 01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:51,720 Speaker 25: Well, it technically doesn't impact it because it's about the year. 1222 01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:55,960 Speaker 25: It's me as Mike says, you've got these massive cost 1223 01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:56,720 Speaker 25: pressures there. 1224 01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:59,919 Speaker 4: The best way is actually economic grown. 1225 01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:02,920 Speaker 25: If you've got the economy grown at three percent, not 1226 01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:07,840 Speaker 25: in recession or one percent, text revenue grows, it grows 1227 01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:10,840 Speaker 25: fast and expenses that's how you get back into it. 1228 01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:14,240 Speaker 25: So what they've actually just announced this week, which is 1229 01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:18,480 Speaker 25: the fast track projects. If they actually passed that bill 1230 01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:23,120 Speaker 25: and they get fifty one hundred projects and centered and 1231 01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:27,000 Speaker 25: construction starting on them, there is the s stuff that 1232 01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:30,040 Speaker 25: is actually gained to help them get there. But if 1233 01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:33,280 Speaker 25: you don't have the economic growth, it becomes really hard. 1234 01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:39,480 Speaker 2: Absolutely, Thank you both very much, Mike Monroe and David Farrer. 1235 01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:42,360 Speaker 2: And next hour we will have been McNaughty with us 1236 01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:45,640 Speaker 2: Wellington City councilor to talk about that vote today that 1237 01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:50,320 Speaker 2: took place. The councilors voted against selling the airport shares. 1238 01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:52,920 Speaker 2: So he will be with us just after six.

The possibility I might 1257 01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:55,280 Speaker 2: have as you can probably hear a bit of a 1258 01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:59,040 Speaker 2: struggle with the voice today, just coming out of the 1259 01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:02,400 Speaker 2: end of a cold and when I said Polkinghorn, I 1260 01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:06,520 Speaker 2: might have just slightly said it differently, which would have 1261 01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:13,200 Speaker 2: turned into quite a yeah one of those which yeah, 1262 01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:16,040 Speaker 2: it was just purely sort of trying to get the 1263 01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:18,000 Speaker 2: voice out there. But that gave a few of you 1264 01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:23,080 Speaker 2: a laugh. So thanks for your decks on that one. Hey, 1265 01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:26,200 Speaker 2: we talk a lot about scams, don't we, And we 1266 01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:28,640 Speaker 2: talk a lot about how banks can be stepping up 1267 01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:32,160 Speaker 2: to put another layer of protection into help pass, just 1268 01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:34,080 Speaker 2: to make sure that we don't make a mess of things. 1269 01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:37,800 Speaker 2: And I'm really pleased to say that next month the 1270 01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:40,800 Speaker 2: banks are going to introduce a confirmation of PAYE system. 1271 01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:43,360 Speaker 2: It's going to be fully in place by easter of 1272 01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:46,400 Speaker 2: next year. It's going to affect your app, online banking. 1273 01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:48,800 Speaker 2: It's going to affect when you do banking at the branch. 1274 01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:51,280 Speaker 2: Every time you make a transaction, it is going to 1275 01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:55,800 Speaker 2: it's going to check that the person you're sending it 1276 01:05:55,880 --> 01:06:00,520 Speaker 2: to and their number are correct, that they align. So 1277 01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:03,840 Speaker 2: it just then allows you to double check you're sending 1278 01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:07,400 Speaker 2: it to the right person and yes, that is their account. Look, 1279 01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:11,600 Speaker 2: it's not going to stop stop all scams, is it. Still? 1280 01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:13,760 Speaker 2: We still have to play a large part in this 1281 01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:16,520 Speaker 2: and and use our noggins. But it is great to 1282 01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:18,640 Speaker 2: see the banks are doing something about this.

The 1306 01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:03,120 Speaker 2: vote was narrow nine to seven against the sale, So 1307 01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:05,480 Speaker 2: what does this mean for the council now, Wellington City 1308 01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:07,960 Speaker 2: Councilor Been McNulty joins me. 1309 01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:11,480 Speaker 23: Now, thanks for being with us, ben Culor Francesca, thank you. 1310 01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:12,960 Speaker 2: Are you happy with the outcome? 1311 01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:14,920 Speaker 23: I am ecstatic? 1312 01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:18,519 Speaker 4: Why this so? 1313 01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:21,080 Speaker 23: In June when we passed our long term plan, there 1314 01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:24,120 Speaker 23: was already a public on the record majority of councilors 1315 01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:26,519 Speaker 23: who said, actually, no, we don't want to perceive the 1316 01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:29,360 Speaker 23: sale of our airport shares as part of the long 1317 01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:33,599 Speaker 23: term plan. Any opportunity for the councilor to express However, 1318 01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:36,720 Speaker 23: in a vote that opposition was nine to us and 1319 01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:39,479 Speaker 23: we've tried to that's actually the fourth time we've tried 1320 01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:41,880 Speaker 23: since June the R and E. I looved up to 1321 01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:43,600 Speaker 23: the flight path right now and there's a plane over me. 1322 01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:46,320 Speaker 23: The fourth time since Juon that we have tried to 1323 01:08:46,400 --> 01:08:49,160 Speaker 23: bring a vote on this issue. And today we have 1324 01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:51,479 Speaker 23: just reaffirmed what could have been done in June. And 1325 01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:54,320 Speaker 23: it actually the support's not there at council. It's time 1326 01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:55,160 Speaker 23: to call it quit. 1327 01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:55,439 Speaker 4: To move on. 1328 01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:57,560 Speaker 2: Okay, good to have you say. Did you expect it 1329 01:08:57,600 --> 01:08:58,720 Speaker 2: to be as narrow as it was? 1330 01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:03,040 Speaker 23: But I was always confident that we had the numbers. 1331 01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:05,479 Speaker 23: You know, from an early point on we had a 1332 01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:08,519 Speaker 23: majority at council who have for very different ideological reasons. 1333 01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:10,160 Speaker 23: We had a little bit of I called it the 1334 01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:13,439 Speaker 23: unholy coalition, but we still all made it clear that 1335 01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:15,439 Speaker 23: we did not believe the sale of the airport shares 1336 01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:17,200 Speaker 23: at this time was warranted more justified. 1337 01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:19,080 Speaker 2: Okay, Ben, So what does this mean for the long 1338 01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:19,639 Speaker 2: term plan? 1339 01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:24,760 Speaker 23: Yes, so fortunately Vermayor has been in the statement that 1340 01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:27,439 Speaker 23: she is not going to try and relitigate the airport 1341 01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:30,360 Speaker 23: issue because it could have gone on and gotten a 1342 01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:32,479 Speaker 23: lot mess here. So what this means now is that 1343 01:09:32,560 --> 01:09:34,519 Speaker 23: we do need to go back to Wellingtonians and look 1344 01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:39,200 Speaker 23: at our issues. Clearly there's some need for spinning cuts 1345 01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:42,400 Speaker 23: has been addressed that we will need to put to 1346 01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:47,599 Speaker 23: Wellingtonians and that will go through consultation and we all 1347 01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:50,240 Speaker 23: have a look at prioritizing what's really important for the 1348 01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:52,720 Speaker 23: rest of traying and what's not so important, and we'll 1349 01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:55,719 Speaker 23: usk Wellingtonians for review and next year we will pass 1350 01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:58,120 Speaker 23: the annual plan in June and that will incorporate no 1351 01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:01,560 Speaker 23: sale of the airport whilst changes to the budget. That 1352 01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:03,400 Speaker 23: we need to do to move forward is it going 1353 01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:07,360 Speaker 23: to have an impact on rates. This is Look, it's 1354 01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:09,799 Speaker 23: a good question. At this point, we're not sure remembering 1355 01:10:09,880 --> 01:10:11,800 Speaker 23: selling the airport would have had an impact on rates 1356 01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:15,000 Speaker 23: because the airport's returned around ten to eleven percent consistently, 1357 01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:17,320 Speaker 23: where the estimates that are a fund would do about 1358 01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:19,400 Speaker 23: eight percent. So we're actually we're going to establish a 1359 01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:22,320 Speaker 23: shortfall in our rates funding by moving the asset from 1360 01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:25,840 Speaker 23: the airport into a perpetual investment fund. So there is 1361 01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:28,120 Speaker 23: a possibility that there could be some rates impacts, but 1362 01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:30,720 Speaker 23: there'll be hard decisions in front of counselors, things that 1363 01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:33,479 Speaker 23: really test us. But that's a conversation. I think most 1364 01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:35,880 Speaker 23: swelling Tonians expect us that we should have already had 1365 01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:37,519 Speaker 23: and we will be happy moving forward. 1366 01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:39,960 Speaker 2: Then I can I can you know, I hear your 1367 01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:43,439 Speaker 2: frustration about the way the whole decision has been made 1368 01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:46,040 Speaker 2: in the process. Do you think there are still concerns 1369 01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:48,799 Speaker 2: about how this decision makes counsel look and this process 1370 01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:52,519 Speaker 2: that you've been through, Well, laughing top, you. 1371 01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:54,800 Speaker 23: Know, I can't really express it any different than us. 1372 01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:57,920 Speaker 23: We do a resident satisfaction, so they broken down by 1373 01:10:57,960 --> 01:10:59,960 Speaker 23: the words, So I represent the Norman suburbs of Whaling 1374 01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:02,720 Speaker 23: and my ward had the lowest satisfaction of any of 1375 01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:05,479 Speaker 23: the five wards in Wellington nine percent of people that 1376 01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:07,680 Speaker 23: proved of the way council makes this decision. So I've 1377 01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:10,200 Speaker 23: been acutely aware that the way we've been going about 1378 01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:12,400 Speaker 23: things has not been appropriated and has not brought the 1379 01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:15,479 Speaker 23: community with us. At the same time, there has been 1380 01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:18,360 Speaker 23: overwhelming opposition from the community to this proposal, and I 1381 01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:22,360 Speaker 23: hope that they see today actually counselors can come together 1382 01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:24,960 Speaker 23: and listen to the community and put forward something that 1383 01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:26,960 Speaker 23: the community wants to see, which in this case was 1384 01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:29,280 Speaker 23: no sale of the shares, and we might just start 1385 01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:31,519 Speaker 23: the journey of rebuilding that trust. It is a year's 1386 01:11:31,600 --> 01:11:34,240 Speaker 23: journey to happen. But if we just put one top 1387 01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:36,120 Speaker 23: forward today, then I said, that is a sort of thing. 1388 01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:38,439 Speaker 2: Ben, Look, I really appreciate your time this evening. Thank 1389 01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:39,880 Speaker 2: you very much.

Liam dan Is 1405 01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:20,479 Speaker 2: with me. 1406 01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:23,000 Speaker 11: Now, good evening, Hi, Francisca. 1407 01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:25,479 Speaker 2: Hey, talking about immigration. We're going to get some new 1408 01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:29,200 Speaker 2: data tomorrow morning. Ah yeah, could be good, could be bad. 1409 01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:30,120 Speaker 2: Which way do you reckon is. 1410 01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:30,920 Speaker 26: Going to go well? 1411 01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:33,160 Speaker 16: I mean, I guess you can read migration and people do. 1412 01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:35,360 Speaker 16: It's just very political. You can read it all sorts 1413 01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:37,680 Speaker 16: of ways. It's going to be interesting. We're going to 1414 01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:40,880 Speaker 16: see I guess, a continuation of a large number of 1415 01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:45,400 Speaker 16: Kiwi's leaving I expect, and we're also going to see 1416 01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:49,360 Speaker 16: probably a net migration game for the year to the 1417 01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:52,719 Speaker 16: end of August or something like sixty thousand or something 1418 01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:54,920 Speaker 16: like that, which looks good. But we're seeing the numbers 1419 01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:58,200 Speaker 16: of people come down, a number of people coming into 1420 01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:00,519 Speaker 16: the country come down quite sharply, and so when you 1421 01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:03,080 Speaker 16: look at the last few months and if you extrapolate 1422 01:13:03,160 --> 01:13:06,040 Speaker 16: them forward, you've got economists saying that actually, if people 1423 01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:08,360 Speaker 16: keep leaving at the rate they're leaving, we may have 1424 01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:12,120 Speaker 16: sort of a net population gain of zero next year, 1425 01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:14,360 Speaker 16: which is going to be quite a shock to the 1426 01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:17,280 Speaker 16: system because we've you know, in the year two October 1427 01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:19,519 Speaker 16: twenty twenty three, we had this record one hundred and 1428 01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:23,320 Speaker 16: thirty six thousand gain to the population. So if you 1429 01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:26,719 Speaker 16: think about that number of people coming in looking for homes, cars, 1430 01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:30,680 Speaker 16: all that sort of consumerism, that's not going to be there. 1431 01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:32,040 Speaker 16: So that is actually going to be a little bit 1432 01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:35,680 Speaker 16: of a headwind, even with interest rates making lower and 1433 01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:39,080 Speaker 16: making life a bit easier in terms of the economy 1434 01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:42,439 Speaker 16: turning round, I mean, it is just not going to 1435 01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:44,960 Speaker 16: be as many people coming in to drive the activity 1436 01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:48,080 Speaker 16: that we're used to. So really interesting on watch just 1437 01:13:48,120 --> 01:13:51,320 Speaker 16: to see if any signs of you know, turnaround in 1438 01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:54,800 Speaker 16: Kiwi's leaving especially, I think, and. 1439 01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:56,760 Speaker 2: It's which Kiwis are leaving as well. 1440 01:13:57,840 --> 01:13:57,960 Speaker 4: Well. 1441 01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:01,120 Speaker 2: It's terrible thing to say, but but you know, it's 1442 01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:03,160 Speaker 2: it's who we're losing and who we're gaining. I mean, 1443 01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:04,920 Speaker 2: if you want to be yeah, I mean you counsel 1444 01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:05,280 Speaker 2: about it. 1445 01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:08,320 Speaker 16: You've got to have job opportunities. You've generally got to 1446 01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:11,600 Speaker 16: got to be uh. You know, so we're losing some 1447 01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:14,360 Speaker 16: of our brightest and most educated people because there are 1448 01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:17,320 Speaker 16: really high paying opportunities just across the Tasman and Australia 1449 01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:22,040 Speaker 16: and other places. And of course migrants aren't coming here 1450 01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:24,760 Speaker 16: in the same numbers because they just aren't the jobs. So, 1451 01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:27,559 Speaker 16: you know, as unemployment rises, you know, it's a huge 1452 01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:29,200 Speaker 16: thing to pack up and move across the other side 1453 01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:30,240 Speaker 16: of the world. And you're not going to do it 1454 01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:32,599 Speaker 16: if the economy is in bad shape, which ours has 1455 01:14:32,680 --> 01:14:34,800 Speaker 16: been for the last few months at least. 1456 01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:38,839 Speaker 2: And is that the main thing which is probably preventing migration? 1457 01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:40,760 Speaker 2: I mean, is there is there a simple thing we 1458 01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:43,640 Speaker 2: could do or not as simple, it's probably going to 1459 01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:45,360 Speaker 2: be complex, but or is there what would be the 1460 01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:47,880 Speaker 2: one thing that would need to happen for us to 1461 01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:50,000 Speaker 2: see those migration figures increase? 1462 01:14:50,680 --> 01:14:51,720 Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean it's it's hard. 1463 01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:53,639 Speaker 16: It's easy to flick a switch when you've got large 1464 01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:55,880 Speaker 16: numbers of people wanting to come in like we had. 1465 01:14:56,120 --> 01:14:58,160 Speaker 16: We had a labor shortage and we flipped a switch 1466 01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:01,600 Speaker 16: and a huge influx, but that has dropped away. It 1467 01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:03,080 Speaker 16: really is a bit of a chicken and egg thing. 1468 01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:06,200 Speaker 16: We need to get the economy going. It's almost I mean, 1469 01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:08,600 Speaker 16: there are economists who'd argue this is good good for us, 1470 01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:12,960 Speaker 16: that we actually rely too much on migration gain and 1471 01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:14,920 Speaker 16: it underpins the housing market and all the rest. 1472 01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:16,760 Speaker 11: We maybe need to sweat the economy. 1473 01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:18,960 Speaker 16: A bit, and that's where the productivity that everyone's talking 1474 01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:19,880 Speaker 16: about comes from. 1475 01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:21,839 Speaker 11: Is not having the easy fixes. 1476 01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:24,160 Speaker 16: We've got to do it ourselves with the population we've got. 1477 01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:27,040 Speaker 11: But then when things are looking better again, I'm hopeful that. 1478 01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:29,839 Speaker 16: There's be some discussion about a sort of a policy 1479 01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:32,679 Speaker 16: on immigration that has a steady sort of net gain 1480 01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:35,439 Speaker 16: without the big booms and busts that we seem to 1481 01:15:35,560 --> 01:15:36,200 Speaker 16: keep going through. 1482 01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:36,799 Speaker 11: Unfortunately. 1483 01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:38,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting, isn't. I mean we've also got to 1484 01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:43,080 Speaker 2: talk about the losing keywee's as well, because I keep 1485 01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:45,200 Speaker 2: sort of reading articles and things coming out of Australia 1486 01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:48,760 Speaker 2: with commentators saying, actually, things aren't great here. Why do 1487 01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:50,000 Speaker 2: the kiwee's keep coming? 1488 01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:50,680 Speaker 4: You know? 1489 01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:53,120 Speaker 2: Like thanks, I wanted to go off the right of head. 1490 01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:55,600 Speaker 2: They keep coming and it's and it's almost like we 1491 01:15:55,720 --> 01:15:58,160 Speaker 2: don't care. People are done and dusted and they're going 1492 01:15:58,200 --> 01:16:00,519 Speaker 2: to go and look for something else somewhere else. Ye, 1493 01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:02,360 Speaker 2: this mentality, don't we. 1494 01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:05,679 Speaker 16: Very very down to the economy. So if Australia's economy 1495 01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:10,240 Speaker 16: does continue to struggle and if they're unemployment rate rises, 1496 01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:13,400 Speaker 16: then you'll see that that turn off that opportunity. So 1497 01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:16,760 Speaker 16: that's happened before, you know, So it's not all in 1498 01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:19,960 Speaker 16: our you know, in our control. But yeah, it's all 1499 01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:22,960 Speaker 16: about opportunity really, and yes, definitely want to see some 1500 01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:26,200 Speaker 16: better opportunity here on the side of the Tasman if 1501 01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:29,400 Speaker 16: in comparison to Australia we start to look a bit 1502 01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:32,360 Speaker 16: better again, that would be quite nice to I suppose. 1503 01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:35,720 Speaker 2: How are you feeling about the government's books, Liam. 1504 01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:39,280 Speaker 16: Sobering said Nichola Willis. I don't know, make you want 1505 01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:39,760 Speaker 16: to have a drink. 1506 01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:43,040 Speaker 11: Look, they've got worse. 1507 01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:44,479 Speaker 16: We knew they were going to get worse. That's not 1508 01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:46,840 Speaker 16: actually a surprise, but they were. 1509 01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:47,240 Speaker 3: It was. 1510 01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:53,120 Speaker 16: Worse than Treasury had thought. So so the whole thing, 1511 01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:55,760 Speaker 16: the deficit got worse. It's deep into three point four 1512 01:16:55,840 --> 01:17:01,120 Speaker 16: billion for twenty three twenty four year, but that was 1513 01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:03,360 Speaker 16: one point eight billion worse than expected. 1514 01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:05,559 Speaker 11: I don't know at this point what's another one point 1515 01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:06,120 Speaker 11: eight billion. 1516 01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:10,280 Speaker 16: It does get a bit abstract. We know we've got 1517 01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:13,160 Speaker 16: to turn it around. Nicola Willis said the right things 1518 01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:16,360 Speaker 16: about you know, and it backs up her line that 1519 01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:19,920 Speaker 16: we need to maintain this fiscal constraint. An even better 1520 01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:23,559 Speaker 16: way would be to get the economy humming and taken 1521 01:17:23,640 --> 01:17:25,360 Speaker 16: more tax. We took in a little bit more tax 1522 01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:28,000 Speaker 16: through the year, but that was kind of inflation related. 1523 01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:31,599 Speaker 16: It was just because people were earning more wages, partly 1524 01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:33,400 Speaker 16: because of the wage rises and the inflation. 1525 01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:36,080 Speaker 11: That'll be gone. So we really have to drive that 1526 01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:36,759 Speaker 11: real growth. 1527 01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:38,639 Speaker 16: And I know, keep coming back to it and harping 1528 01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:42,120 Speaker 16: on about it, but it's going to be have to 1529 01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:44,479 Speaker 16: be some real productive growth. We're gonna have to sort 1530 01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:47,880 Speaker 16: of sell more exports to the world and produce things 1531 01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:50,840 Speaker 16: and find a way to work a bit smarter and 1532 01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:54,160 Speaker 16: invest in new technology and all that sort of stuff 1533 01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:57,559 Speaker 16: to deliver a bit more tax to the government, I guess. 1534 01:17:57,760 --> 01:17:59,400 Speaker 2: Liam Dan, thank you so much for your time. That 1535 01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:02,680 Speaker 2: was New Zealand Herald Business Editor at Large, Liam Dan 1536 01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:05,360 Speaker 2: and as we mentioned, those immigration figures will be out 1537 01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:08,720 Speaker 2: tomorrow morning. Right ten planned solar farms are among one 1538 01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:10,400 Speaker 2: hundred and forty nine projects that are going to be 1539 01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:14,320 Speaker 2: highlighted in the government's one stop shop Fast Track Approvals bill. 1540 01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:18,040 Speaker 2: We're going to hear from Jamie McKay what his thoughts 1541 01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:21,400 Speaker 2: are on this shortly. You're with a Heather du Pluice 1542 01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:23,800 Speaker 2: All and drive. I'm Francisco Rudcan filling in Heather.

It is twenty past six. 1544 01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:30,599 Speaker 1: Crunching the numbers and getting the results at Francesca Ruggan 1545 01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:34,280 Speaker 1: with the Business Hour thanks to my HR, the HR 1546 01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:37,519 Speaker 1: solution for busy Smmy's on News Talk ZB. 1547 01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:40,800 Speaker 2: Host of the Country, Jamie McKay joins me. Now, Hi, 1548 01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:42,839 Speaker 2: Jamie gooda. 1549 01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:46,519 Speaker 26: Fr Francisca get it right, long time listener, her first 1550 01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:48,640 Speaker 26: time caller. Lovely to talk to you. 1551 01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:51,200 Speaker 2: I'm the same. I am a longtime listener of the 1552 01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:53,640 Speaker 2: country as well. Hey, tell me about what's happening in 1553 01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:56,000 Speaker 2: South On. The Federated Farmers are calling for local farmers 1554 01:18:56,040 --> 01:19:00,360 Speaker 2: to boycott fishing game and remove fishing access across the land. 1555 01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:04,200 Speaker 26: Yeah, it's a bit like the gunfight at the Ok Corral. 1556 01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:08,040 Speaker 26: So the guts behind this is that farmers have always 1557 01:19:08,040 --> 01:19:10,960 Speaker 26: allowed anglers to walk across their land down to the 1558 01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:15,200 Speaker 26: river to go fishing. But that goodwill, says Federated Farmers, 1559 01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:19,080 Speaker 26: has been completely eroded by fish and Game South and 1560 01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:21,920 Speaker 26: they're saying Federated Farmers are saying, we're fed up with 1561 01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:26,599 Speaker 26: fishing games, persistent belligerent anti farming rhetoric, and their opposition 1562 01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:29,560 Speaker 26: to everything we do. He goes on to say, this 1563 01:19:29,720 --> 01:19:32,800 Speaker 26: is Jason Herrick from Federated Farmers, the local president down there. 1564 01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:35,479 Speaker 26: We're now calling for local farmers to join us in 1565 01:19:35,640 --> 01:19:39,479 Speaker 26: boycotting fishing licenses, so don't buy any fishing licenses, and 1566 01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:42,680 Speaker 26: to remove fishing access for anglers by taking down the 1567 01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:47,000 Speaker 26: access signs. Farmers can replace those signs with an orange 1568 01:19:47,120 --> 01:19:50,360 Speaker 26: ribbon to show their frustration with fish and game. Now 1569 01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:54,400 Speaker 26: Herrick emphasizes that the boycott is in Southland only. It's 1570 01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:57,960 Speaker 26: come about or been sparked by a recent court decision 1571 01:19:58,040 --> 01:20:01,839 Speaker 26: around the silly RIMA. Would require more than three thousand 1572 01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:04,599 Speaker 26: Southland farmers. That's probably about how many are down there 1573 01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:09,559 Speaker 26: to apply for a resource consent francisca just to keep 1574 01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:12,760 Speaker 26: on farming. Fish and Game was one of the main 1575 01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:15,960 Speaker 26: groups leading the charge for this legislation or supporting it. 1576 01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:19,000 Speaker 26: Feeds are saying it's an absolute kick in the guts 1577 01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:21,800 Speaker 26: for the farmers. They say Fish and Game are using 1578 01:20:21,920 --> 01:20:25,519 Speaker 26: license funds against farmers and against all New Zealanders by 1579 01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:28,160 Speaker 26: making land use so difficult, and for what it's worth. 1580 01:20:29,200 --> 01:20:31,040 Speaker 26: I'm with Federated Farmers on this one. 1581 01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:33,840 Speaker 2: So, Jamie, why would you have to apply for a 1582 01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:35,679 Speaker 2: resource consent to continue farming? 1583 01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:39,240 Speaker 26: What was the reason behind some stupid clause in the 1584 01:20:39,479 --> 01:20:42,200 Speaker 26: RAMA Act? And my eyes glaze over when you mentioned 1585 01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:48,080 Speaker 26: that acronomic it's section seventy Francesca. But no, well, no 1586 01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:50,880 Speaker 26: one understands. David Park is the only one who understands, 1587 01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:54,160 Speaker 26: and thank goodness he isn't there anymore. But look, it's 1588 01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:57,800 Speaker 26: basically a glitch. It will get fixed. I was talking 1589 01:20:57,880 --> 01:21:01,280 Speaker 26: to a Federated Farmer's executive member, Bernadette Hunt on my 1590 01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:03,240 Speaker 26: show today. She said, we will get rid of this, 1591 01:21:03,400 --> 01:21:06,680 Speaker 26: but in the meantime they're just rarely peeveed off that 1592 01:21:06,840 --> 01:21:09,680 Speaker 26: Fish and Game have been leading the charge against them, 1593 01:21:09,720 --> 01:21:13,240 Speaker 26: because up until recently they've lived harmoniously together and I've 1594 01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:16,840 Speaker 26: got farming friends who farm on the river rivers down 1595 01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:19,880 Speaker 26: in South and they're happy for anglers to go down 1596 01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:21,639 Speaker 26: to the river as long as they shut the gates 1597 01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:22,200 Speaker 26: after them. 1598 01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:26,599 Speaker 2: Jamie, are you excited about these ten solar farms which 1599 01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:29,959 Speaker 2: planned and are going to hopefully come through the government's 1600 01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:31,160 Speaker 2: Fast Track Approvals Bill. 1601 01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:34,880 Speaker 26: Well, I'm not quite sure if I'm as excited as 1602 01:21:35,040 --> 01:21:36,960 Speaker 26: the Minister of digging it up and damming it up, 1603 01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:40,040 Speaker 26: Shane Jones Francisca. But look, it's good. Of these one 1604 01:21:40,120 --> 01:21:43,920 Speaker 26: hundred and forty nine projects that he's fast tracked, ten 1605 01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:48,240 Speaker 26: of them are solar farms. There's another or they're part 1606 01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:53,439 Speaker 26: of twenty two renewable electricity projects. The remaining twelve include 1607 01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:58,559 Speaker 26: wind farms and hydro electricity plus and those solar farms, 1608 01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:01,320 Speaker 26: by the way, range from two hundre nineteen hectes six 1609 01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:04,880 Speaker 26: hundred and seventy hectis. That's a sizable soul of farm. 1610 01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:08,160 Speaker 26: And I think the interesting one for me that's back 1611 01:22:08,240 --> 01:22:10,840 Speaker 26: on the table now is the Ruetani Far Dam in 1612 01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:14,519 Speaker 26: Central Hawk's Bay. It got kai boss for a number 1613 01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:17,800 Speaker 26: of reasons, but certainly fast tracking it might help that 1614 01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:20,840 Speaker 26: go through because that region getting very dry at the moment, 1615 01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:23,280 Speaker 26: needs more water storage. Simple as that. 1616 01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:26,840 Speaker 2: I brought a lot of ticket last night, Jamie. I 1617 01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:29,200 Speaker 2: was hoping to pocket just a sweet fifteen million, but 1618 01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:32,200 Speaker 2: that wouldn't be enough to get me close to buying 1619 01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:34,840 Speaker 2: Tasmania's large As farm, which is back on the market. 1620 01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:38,280 Speaker 26: Yeah, and it's owned by a New Zealand farming family, 1621 01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:41,920 Speaker 26: an iconic farming family that of the late Allan Pye. 1622 01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:45,599 Speaker 26: He purchased the farm in nineteen ninety six for eight 1623 01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:50,320 Speaker 26: million dollars. He's hoping to get one hundred million when 1624 01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:52,320 Speaker 26: it comes back on the market. That's a twelve hundred 1625 01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:55,200 Speaker 26: percent return on investment. Albeit he brought it way back 1626 01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:59,320 Speaker 26: in nineteen ninety six. Look, this is twenty two thousand hectares, 1627 01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:03,400 Speaker 26: about fifty thousand acres. It's got everything you want in 1628 01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:08,679 Speaker 26: a farm that size. It runs dairy, beef and sheep, 1629 01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:11,800 Speaker 26: has extensive irrigation. It was listed to sale in twenty 1630 01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:14,600 Speaker 26: seventeen at a poultry seventy million. It's now on the 1631 01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:19,240 Speaker 26: market for one hundred million and since then Francesca Rushi 1632 01:23:19,360 --> 01:23:22,519 Speaker 26: lagoon As. The farm has been slated for a multi 1633 01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:25,400 Speaker 26: billion dollar wind farm development. So that'll be money for 1634 01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:27,519 Speaker 26: jam as well, getting all the money off that, so 1635 01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:30,240 Speaker 26: it'll be interesting. Alan Pie, by the way, the late 1636 01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:32,880 Speaker 26: Alan Pie, who passed away earlier this year, made his 1637 01:23:33,120 --> 01:23:35,960 Speaker 26: fortune from spuds. A true blue farmer. 1638 01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:37,880 Speaker 2: Oh Jamie, you should have snuck in there when it 1639 01:23:37,960 --> 01:23:38,880 Speaker 2: was only seventy million. 1640 01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:41,960 Speaker 26: Yeah, I should have. It's just out of my reach now. 1641 01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:44,960 Speaker 2: So nice to talk to you, Jamie.

How are you doing, Sam? 1675 01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:41,400 Speaker 27: Good evening, Good Wells good to talk to you. 1676 01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:45,120 Speaker 2: Now, the China economy and stock market, they're usually in 1677 01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:46,680 Speaker 2: the press for all the wrong reasons. Like it we 1678 01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:49,599 Speaker 2: were talking about weak economic growth or too much debt 1679 01:25:49,760 --> 01:25:53,080 Speaker 2: or unwanted government intervention and a week stock market all that, 1680 01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:56,760 Speaker 2: But the China stock market is by far one of 1681 01:25:56,840 --> 01:25:59,840 Speaker 2: the best performing markets in the world so far this year. 1682 01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:02,839 Speaker 2: What's going on and what does this mean for global investors? 1683 01:26:04,720 --> 01:26:06,560 Speaker 27: Yeah, it's a very good point and a bit of 1684 01:26:06,640 --> 01:26:10,719 Speaker 27: context there. It is interesting though, there's not many times 1685 01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:14,800 Speaker 27: in history that such an important economy has been viewed 1686 01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:18,040 Speaker 27: so negatively by so many. So Cha roared into the 1687 01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:20,599 Speaker 27: world stage after it entered the WTO in two thousand 1688 01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:23,200 Speaker 27: and one, and it was a growth miracle. Let's not forget. 1689 01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:25,400 Speaker 27: It pulled more people out of poverty in the shortest 1690 01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:28,280 Speaker 27: time in the history. And then I think the rocks 1691 01:26:28,280 --> 01:26:30,960 Speaker 27: set in during the GFC, and the government panicked and 1692 01:26:31,080 --> 01:26:34,640 Speaker 27: splurged about eight trillion remen b or you are, and 1693 01:26:34,760 --> 01:26:37,800 Speaker 27: they built bridges and nowhere gohs cities and tons of 1694 01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:40,800 Speaker 27: other wastage, and the country became addicted to it and 1695 01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:44,559 Speaker 27: plowing that into property and infrastructure. At the first sign 1696 01:26:44,600 --> 01:26:46,719 Speaker 27: of any slowdown, and you add an aging and shrinking 1697 01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:49,400 Speaker 27: population and a property slump that is kind of three 1698 01:26:49,479 --> 01:26:53,160 Speaker 27: years old in counting now, And that's really the history 1699 01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:54,720 Speaker 27: of the Chinese economy. 1700 01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:56,960 Speaker 2: Okay, So what's been going on with the stock market? 1701 01:26:57,040 --> 01:27:00,960 Speaker 27: Then, well, the economy drive the stock market like in 1702 01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:05,000 Speaker 27: other countries, but with China's was a twister or sting 1703 01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:09,320 Speaker 27: in the tail too. So for years you could avoid 1704 01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:12,479 Speaker 27: the low quality state owned enterprises or soees like the 1705 01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:17,080 Speaker 27: bloated banks and the steel companies, and invest in fabulous companies, 1706 01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:20,280 Speaker 27: fabulous private companies like ten Cent, for example. So for 1707 01:27:20,760 --> 01:27:24,960 Speaker 27: the decade ending our inning twenty twenty one, the SOE 1708 01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:29,080 Speaker 27: heavy Broad China index was dead flat, did nothing for 1709 01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:32,000 Speaker 27: a decade. The private companies like Tencent were up two 1710 01:27:32,040 --> 01:27:36,800 Speaker 27: thousand percent. So then the charismatic founder of Ali Baba, 1711 01:27:36,880 --> 01:27:38,840 Speaker 27: Jack Maher, reportedly got a little bit too big for 1712 01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:42,080 Speaker 27: his boots, and that kick started a rolling series of 1713 01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:45,640 Speaker 27: crackdowns on private companies and typhoons. So all of that, 1714 01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:51,960 Speaker 27: Francesca culminated in a fourteen year ninety percent under performance 1715 01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:55,160 Speaker 27: by the Chinese stock market versus the US stop market. 1716 01:27:56,880 --> 01:27:58,200 Speaker 2: So is it just a few that have made a 1717 01:27:58,240 --> 01:27:59,840 Speaker 2: difference as to what's happening today. 1718 01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:05,160 Speaker 27: So what's happened today, that's right, private companies for a 1719 01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:09,120 Speaker 27: long period of time did well. But what's happened today 1720 01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:12,519 Speaker 27: is the economy has been tracking along pretty poorly, and 1721 01:28:12,760 --> 01:28:17,400 Speaker 27: in fact, inflation, which is a key focus for the 1722 01:28:17,479 --> 01:28:20,679 Speaker 27: Chinese government given how much debt they've got, has actually 1723 01:28:20,720 --> 01:28:23,200 Speaker 27: slipped sort of flat or negative. So we're actually a 1724 01:28:23,840 --> 01:28:26,439 Speaker 27: sort of partial deflation in China now. So a couple 1725 01:28:26,479 --> 01:28:32,320 Speaker 27: of weeks ago, government fired another stimulus bazooka, so they 1726 01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:36,160 Speaker 27: cut interest rates, they flushed excess liquidity into the financial markets, 1727 01:28:36,640 --> 01:28:39,559 Speaker 27: they cut mortgage rates, they lowered the down payments on property, 1728 01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:43,519 Speaker 27: and they infused liquidity into local government so they can 1729 01:28:43,640 --> 01:28:46,320 Speaker 27: lend on infrastructure and other projects. So that was all 1730 01:28:46,360 --> 01:28:49,640 Speaker 27: in a roughly a trillion dollar shot in the arm 1731 01:28:49,680 --> 01:28:51,680 Speaker 27: for the economy and one of the biggest packages we've 1732 01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:54,719 Speaker 27: ever seen in China, almost as big as the GFC 1733 01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:58,760 Speaker 27: panic stimulus. So that's what's happening at the moment, and 1734 01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:01,679 Speaker 27: you can see our focus they are on avoiding defation 1735 01:29:01,840 --> 01:29:04,280 Speaker 27: given how much debts they have, because if we start 1736 01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:07,439 Speaker 27: to see asset prices go down and obviously debt remains fixed. 1737 01:29:08,520 --> 01:29:09,240 Speaker 27: That's not pretty. 1738 01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:12,360 Speaker 2: So with that change, what does it mean for investors? 1739 01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:17,280 Speaker 27: Yeah, so it's it's important. Of course we need to 1740 01:29:17,320 --> 01:29:19,160 Speaker 27: watch it. The world's second biggest economy and one of 1741 01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:23,000 Speaker 27: our major training trading partners, we should care. And it 1742 01:29:23,120 --> 01:29:26,639 Speaker 27: is a reminder of investors that if everyone is telling 1743 01:29:26,680 --> 01:29:29,360 Speaker 27: you a country is uninvestable, it pays to push against 1744 01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:32,160 Speaker 27: the crowd. Because the stock market is the strongest stock 1745 01:29:32,200 --> 01:29:34,519 Speaker 27: market on earth this year, and it's up. It was 1746 01:29:34,600 --> 01:29:36,799 Speaker 27: up sort of forty percent in two weeks. 1747 01:29:39,320 --> 01:29:40,880 Speaker 6: Thanks again. 1748 01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:43,880 Speaker 27: I was I was going to say, look, I think 1749 01:29:43,920 --> 01:29:46,480 Speaker 27: the question we often get asked is that strength sustainable. 1750 01:29:46,520 --> 01:29:48,679 Speaker 27: And this is not a new technique by the Chinese government. 1751 01:29:48,720 --> 01:29:52,240 Speaker 27: We have seen these massive stimulus packages before and this 1752 01:29:52,400 --> 01:29:54,760 Speaker 27: is this is huge, but the same old issues haven't changed. 1753 01:29:54,800 --> 01:29:59,840 Speaker 27: Francesca's so tough demographic demographics and aging population, high youth 1754 01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:02,519 Speaker 27: employment and too much debt. So you can wait and 1755 01:30:02,640 --> 01:30:05,160 Speaker 27: see whether this big shot in the arm translates into 1756 01:30:05,240 --> 01:30:06,160 Speaker 27: better economic growth. 1757 01:30:06,720 --> 01:30:08,840 Speaker 2: Interesting times. Thank you so much, Sam. That was Sam 1758 01:30:08,920 --> 01:30:14,360 Speaker 2: Dickey there from Fisher Funds. Francesca, okay, so, in a 1759 01:30:14,400 --> 01:30:17,679 Speaker 2: crucial step towards reducing scams. Banks will introduce a confirmation 1760 01:30:17,840 --> 01:30:20,240 Speaker 2: of payee system next month, to be fully in placed 1761 01:30:20,240 --> 01:30:23,080 Speaker 2: by Easter of next year. The system notifies a customer 1762 01:30:23,080 --> 01:30:25,880 Speaker 2: whether the name and account they're paying to match up 1763 01:30:26,320 --> 01:30:29,439 Speaker 2: or don't. Similar schemes have been successful in Australia and 1764 01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:33,080 Speaker 2: the UK.

So it just is another level of security 1773 01:31:03,320 --> 01:31:07,560 Speaker 21: and comfort for customers in terms of being confident of 1774 01:31:08,200 --> 01:31:10,120 Speaker 21: when they're paying money away to someone. 1775 01:31:11,160 --> 01:31:15,280 Speaker 2: Is it an instant mechanism when consumers make an online payment. 1776 01:31:16,640 --> 01:31:18,960 Speaker 21: Yes, because it will happen in real time when you're 1777 01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:21,479 Speaker 21: about to enter the deep, when you're entering the details 1778 01:31:21,560 --> 01:31:24,360 Speaker 21: of who you're paying money who and the account number, 1779 01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:26,479 Speaker 21: and it'll give you that it'll give you that feedback. 1780 01:31:27,080 --> 01:31:30,439 Speaker 2: Well, fantastic before you make the payment, Okay, So it's 1781 01:31:30,560 --> 01:31:32,679 Speaker 2: not like you make a payment and then the bank's 1782 01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:34,360 Speaker 2: going to check check it all off, and then they're 1783 01:31:34,360 --> 01:31:35,800 Speaker 2: going to come back to in process that there's going 1784 01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:37,200 Speaker 2: to be no delay on payments. 1785 01:31:37,240 --> 01:31:42,240 Speaker 21: Then no, because it'll be it'll be checking checking with 1786 01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:45,880 Speaker 21: you that you're confident that that's the right match before 1787 01:31:45,920 --> 01:31:47,720 Speaker 21: the payment is actually made. 1788 01:31:48,600 --> 01:31:51,479 Speaker 2: How well will this protect consumers against scams? 1789 01:31:52,640 --> 01:31:55,559 Speaker 21: Well, it will certainly help in the war against scams, 1790 01:31:56,320 --> 01:31:59,519 Speaker 21: which are a real scourge on our society. But it's 1791 01:31:59,520 --> 01:32:02,439 Speaker 21: really import to remember there is no silver bullet here. Franchise, 1792 01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:04,679 Speaker 21: but there is no one thing that's going to stop 1793 01:32:04,760 --> 01:32:08,680 Speaker 21: scams altogether, because scammers are tricky and clever and they 1794 01:32:08,760 --> 01:32:12,400 Speaker 21: will find workarounds wherever they can. So it's really important 1795 01:32:12,479 --> 01:32:16,519 Speaker 21: that customers are vigilant in terms of their behavior and 1796 01:32:16,640 --> 01:32:19,639 Speaker 21: think about really care think ready carefully about who they're 1797 01:32:19,680 --> 01:32:23,400 Speaker 21: paying and what they're paying for. But this is another 1798 01:32:23,520 --> 01:32:26,080 Speaker 21: level of protection that will help them in that process. 1799 01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:28,400 Speaker 2: Who drove action for this change. 1800 01:32:29,640 --> 01:32:32,280 Speaker 21: Oh, look at the industry has been working on it 1801 01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:35,559 Speaker 21: for quite some time. This is quite a big piece 1802 01:32:35,640 --> 01:32:38,639 Speaker 21: of work that the government also encouraged us to look 1803 01:32:38,680 --> 01:32:43,320 Speaker 21: at but the industry has worked collaboratively to install this 1804 01:32:43,439 --> 01:32:46,880 Speaker 21: across the teen retail banks so that they can work 1805 01:32:46,920 --> 01:32:49,519 Speaker 21: together on this for customers. 1806 01:32:50,280 --> 01:32:52,280 Speaker 2: Can I be honest with you, Roger kind of feel 1807 01:32:52,360 --> 01:32:53,880 Speaker 2: like this would have been a sensible thing to have 1808 01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:57,960 Speaker 2: in place earlier, you know, when we started doing online banking. 1809 01:32:58,000 --> 01:32:59,840 Speaker 2: I'm surprised that someone didn't think about it, but obviously 1810 01:32:59,880 --> 01:33:01,360 Speaker 2: we didn't have the technology then. 1811 01:33:02,880 --> 01:33:05,840 Speaker 21: Yeah, Look, we have moved at pace to implement this 1812 01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:09,400 Speaker 21: where we're working on a very very type time frame 1813 01:33:09,479 --> 01:33:12,840 Speaker 21: to get this live as quickly as possible. And you know, 1814 01:33:13,560 --> 01:33:16,280 Speaker 21: we'll be one of a handful of countries around the 1815 01:33:16,400 --> 01:33:21,200 Speaker 21: world that have this level of technology. So it's not commonplace. 1816 01:33:21,479 --> 01:33:25,679 Speaker 21: It's actually limited in the number of jurisdictions that actually 1817 01:33:25,720 --> 01:33:26,400 Speaker 21: have it in place. 1818 01:33:27,280 --> 01:33:30,080 Speaker 2: And you know, banks are hoping to induce the system 1819 01:33:30,200 --> 01:33:32,200 Speaker 2: next month. It's going to be fully in priced, but 1820 01:33:32,560 --> 01:33:36,000 Speaker 2: fully in place by Easter next year. What does that mean. 1821 01:33:36,080 --> 01:33:39,200 Speaker 2: It's sort of it's sort of what's happening in that 1822 01:33:39,360 --> 01:33:40,160 Speaker 2: in that time frame. 1823 01:33:41,120 --> 01:33:44,280 Speaker 21: Yeah, it's being phased, and that's because banks need to 1824 01:33:44,360 --> 01:33:48,920 Speaker 21: do proper testing of the systems and technology and make 1825 01:33:49,040 --> 01:33:52,400 Speaker 21: sure that it works appropriately, and they have to make 1826 01:33:52,560 --> 01:33:55,880 Speaker 21: changes to each of the way his customers interact with 1827 01:33:55,960 --> 01:33:59,120 Speaker 21: their banks, so they'll have to do their online banking, 1828 01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:02,840 Speaker 21: they'll have to do mobile banking apps, and they'll have 1829 01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:06,160 Speaker 21: to do an in branch and in customer. All as 1830 01:34:06,880 --> 01:34:11,160 Speaker 21: quite unique out ways of providing the service. So it's 1831 01:34:11,560 --> 01:34:14,240 Speaker 21: quite complex and it's important that they get it right. 1832 01:34:14,400 --> 01:34:17,439 Speaker 21: So it's a much safer an appropriate way to have 1833 01:34:17,560 --> 01:34:20,320 Speaker 21: it staggered and do it when that confident. 1834 01:34:20,680 --> 01:34:22,559 Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Roger.

It's not 1872 01:36:20,240 --> 01:36:23,479 Speaker 2: really about her.

So let's move on. 1885 01:36:53,640 --> 01:36:57,080 Speaker 2: Tell me about these two pro Palestinian protesters arrested at 1886 01:36:57,120 --> 01:36:59,439 Speaker 2: the National Gallery after throwing red paint on the floor. 1887 01:37:00,640 --> 01:37:04,160 Speaker 12: So young people, and they're attached to a youth movement 1888 01:37:04,200 --> 01:37:08,280 Speaker 12: that has links to just Stop Oil.

They were trying to stick the image of 1893 01:37:22,200 --> 01:37:26,439 Speaker 12: the Palestinian mother and child over Picasso's painting. Now there 1894 01:37:26,479 --> 01:37:28,680 Speaker 12: was no damage done to the painting. And then they 1895 01:37:28,720 --> 01:37:33,200 Speaker 12: threw some red paint on the floor, obviously symbolizing bloodshed. 1896 01:37:33,680 --> 01:37:36,519 Speaker 12: Very very quickly arrested, but they've made their point.
