Are motar is back, 6 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 2: but not in a good way. I'm afraid the PM 7 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 2: pops and are Stephen Frye pops in? After eight? Catherine 8 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 2: Field has the French staff, and Roderick Little covers the 9 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 2: Mighty UK for us Husking. Here we go for a 10 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 2: Tuesday morning at seven past six. A question for you? 11 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 2: Is there too much self interest in the Auckland Airport 12 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 2: upset over increased visitor levy fees? Auckland Airport bosses worried 13 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 2: about flat line tourism spending That was your headline yesterday? 14 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 2: Are they? Why now? Why not last year or the 15 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 2: year before that? Why not went on this program? For 16 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 2: over two years now, we've been crying out for someone 17 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 2: to listen to the fact that it was becoming increasingly 18 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 2: clear that we had managed to butcher our second or 19 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 2: first biggest foreign income earner. For years it was dairy tourism, tourism, 20 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 2: dairy back and forth dueling for the title of the 21 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 2: biggest foreign income earner for this country. Where were they then? 22 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: A small irony? Also, if the airport are worried about 23 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,199 Speaker 2: increased charges, ask the airlines whether the airport has shown 24 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,839 Speaker 2: the same concern over their charges to fund their expansion anyway. 25 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 2: Is the airport worried about tourism because we should all 26 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 2: be worried about tourism, or is the airport worried about 27 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 2: tourism because it affects their bottom line and ability to 28 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 2: funnel money back to the shareholders and are worrying about 29 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 2: the visitor levy? Is that something that genuinely affects tourism 30 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 2: numbers anyway, or simply a scapegoat for much larger problems. 31 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 2: I would argue the latter. Yes, any increased cost is 32 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 2: to be avoided if we can. But when you're coming 33 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 2: to New Zealand from London or Washington or Beijing, another 34 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 2: seventy bucks isn't going to break you. And if it 35 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 2: is the difference, you wouldn't be traveling long Hall in 36 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 2: the first place. The real issue is New Zealand inc. 37 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 2: The closed borders, lack of international contact, our inability post 38 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 2: COVID to get out there effectively enough and hustle. Nothing 39 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 2: is more expensive if you want to look at travel 40 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 2: than London, Paris, New York, or the med in the 41 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 2: peak of the European or northern summer. But people and 42 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: they pay, and their stats aren't our stats. Not to 43 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 2: mention our dollar makes everything cheaper anyway, The cold hard 44 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 2: truth is our fundamentals aren't right, our settings are off. 45 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 2: Our reputation is in need of major repair, if not overhauled. 46 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 2: Worry about seventy bucks is to miss the point. 47 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: News of the world in ninety seconds. 48 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: Well, they've been voting in Moldova. Two things to think about. 49 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 2: We've got a presidential race and whether to join the. 50 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 3: EU hunble to thirty thousand Moldovan voters got bank cards 51 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 3: are from Russians banks, and they were paid through these 52 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 3: cards to vote in a way that was demanded by 53 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 3: Russian supported candidates. 54 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 2: And only cards exactly. And so that's why it's suspicious 55 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: our crunch the numbers for you in mind, but also 56 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 2: voting are those particularly eager. In the u United States 57 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 2: of America, the Dems have worked out their policies aren't 58 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 2: hitting home, so they're now resorting to trying to freak 59 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 2: the voter out. 60 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 4: He's becoming increasingly unstable and unhinged. I think the American 61 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 4: people are seeing it, witnessing in real time, and I 62 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 4: think the American people deserve better than someone who acts 63 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 4: actually seems to be unstable. 64 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 2: If you're an NFL fan and you watch Pittsburgh take 65 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 2: on New York yesterday, and New York played abysmally, but 66 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 2: that's another anyway, you might have heard this small clue 67 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 2: that's not for Harris. The war the Israelis aren't finished 68 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 2: with by route yet. 69 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 5: The force of the explosion has completely pancaked this building. 70 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 5: Now in the upper levels you can see people's possessions. 71 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 5: I'm seeing a kitchen cupboard, a washing machine, even the 72 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 5: building opposite. The walls have been ripped out on people's homes. 73 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 2: And an Australia, the King was out and about. 74 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 6: In my many visits to Australia, I have witnessed the 75 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 6: courage and hope that have guided the nations long and 76 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 6: sometimes difficult journey towards reconciliation. 77 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 2: Unfortunately, so were some of the lower hanging fruit from 78 00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 2: the Parliament. 79 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 7: Calling Global Truth, telling about the royals who cause so 80 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 7: much devastation to not only our people in this country, 81 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 7: but indigenous people around the world. 82 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 2: Brian Late pediatricians are worried teenagers are consuming too many supplements. 83 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 2: We've got some new numbers from the US National Upholes 84 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 2: revealed forty percent of them they're taking protein supplements, boys 85 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 2: more likely than girls. Of the forty six percent of 86 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 2: boys who were taking them, more than half said it 87 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 2: was for muscle. Girls said it was for weight loss 88 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 2: or for replace a meal when they're busy. The dietician 89 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 2: saying that it's really advised that teams need any form 90 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 2: of supplement at all and could put them at risk 91 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 2: of dehydration and kidney issues. And that is news of 92 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 2: the world. In ninety seconds, China, we can't stop talking 93 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 2: about China. Another twenty five points. People's Bank of China 94 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 2: one year loan prime rate down to three point one, 95 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 2: five year LPR trim to three point six. The one 96 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 2: year influences the corporate loans and a lot of household loans. 97 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 2: The five year does the mortgages, so it's not like 98 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 2: they're not trying. Twelve past six. 99 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 100 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: by News Talks i'b. 101 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 2: Yes, mold over fascinating. So two bots, one for the presidency. 102 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 2: There is the claim of interference from the Russians. The 103 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 2: Russians not particularly keen on the Moldomens joining the EU, 104 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: of course, so they're going to a second round and 105 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 2: the presidential race because it's one of those if you 106 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 2: don't get fifty percent, you go again. Then when it 107 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 2: came to joining Europe, fifty point one six percent seed yes, 108 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 2: so some question mark's ober where that goes. So we'll 109 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 2: talk to Catherine about that. In half an hour's time. 110 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 2: Fourteen passes, they haven't funds management. Greg Smith, morning to you. 111 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 2: More into Mike, Glad you raised this because this fascinates me. 112 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 2: So we're going to need to get over our fixation 113 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 2: in this country with our attitude to you the old 114 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 2: nuclear because if you look at Amazon and Google and Microsoft, 115 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 2: this is the future. And if you want to run 116 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 2: a data center, this is whay. Probably we're going to 117 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 2: have to go, isn't it. 118 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 8: Yeah, that's right. I'm sending a big signal. See look 119 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 8: at some of the deals in the past week. So 120 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 8: if you look at appose, you know that the woods 121 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 8: demand for sort of clean energy. You know, the proliferation 122 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 8: of AI, in particularly gener of AI is really accelerating. 123 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 8: And say, look the typical Google search, it con chums 124 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 8: a few watts of energy. A generative AI model that 125 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 8: might use several hundred. So that's pretty much. So you 126 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 8: had a big technolok and to get ahead of the 127 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 8: game preps because they see that, you know, renewables will 128 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 8: be your battery paw don't doesn't cut it in terms 129 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 8: of other ord teramative. So look at Amazon, they are 130 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,119 Speaker 8: cloud computing business. They are investing more than five hundred 131 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 8: million and three nuclear power projects in the US, so 132 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 8: they've got a deal with Virginia's utility company and so 133 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 8: they building these small module and new Kiley erectors, which yeah, 134 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 8: seeing as being more efficient obviously cheaper than larger nuclearrectors, 135 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 8: and they'll still take a few years to build, so 136 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,919 Speaker 8: you've got to plan for them. Google they've announced that 137 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 8: they'll purchase power from and developer Chiros to develop similar 138 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 8: small module in nuclearrectors. And you look at Microsoft, so 139 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 8: they've got a twenty ideal of constellation purchase pair from 140 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 8: three Mile Island in Pennsylvania and that's set to reopen 141 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 8: in twenty twenty eight, just on that point three mile 142 00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 8: that was actually the start of the worst nuclear accident 143 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 8: history and had a melt down back in nineteen seventy nine. 144 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 8: So I suppose that's been part of the thing holding 145 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 8: back nuclear power, those safety concerns. Obviously we had fuck 146 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 8: Shima that was back in twenty eleven. Now that was 147 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 8: caused obviously to a tsunami, so uranium that was shunned 148 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 8: in the aftermath. But yeah, needs must as you say, 149 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 8: and I think our attitudes are changing. So the World 150 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 8: Nuclear Association lack in nuclear CAPACI is going to grow 151 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 8: nearly eighty percent in demand for uranium. That's going to 152 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 8: double by twenty forty. So I've actually got four hundred 153 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 8: operable reactors globally, sixty under construction thereabouts and over one 154 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 8: hundred plans. So it still takes a long time to 155 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 8: build them up to ten years. Uranian prices they have 156 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 8: been volatile, but yeah, sheares in nuclear energy companies and 157 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 8: companies that build reactors, I've been running up to record levels. 158 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 8: Constallation Energy, They've got the largest fleet of reactors in 159 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 8: the US. They've seen a cheer price up one hundred 160 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 8: and thirty percent this year in uranium minor chemico that 161 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 8: was up again overnight record high. So yeah, times are 162 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 8: a changing mic and needs masks. 163 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 2: Yes, indeed. And then we come to Genesis, which is interesting. 164 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 8: What was their update, Well, their update was was a 165 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 8: pretty good one from their perspective. It just shows you, 166 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 8: you know, obviously we've got fantastic hydrogeneration, but that can 167 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 8: be problematic when lake's low, when the weather is dry, 168 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 8: and obviously we've seen that in recent months. So they've 169 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 8: had their update and they said showing that Huntley was 170 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 8: kept very busy. So Huntley it's gonna be around about 171 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 8: eight percent of national electricity supply, so that stepped up 172 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 8: during August to around twenty percent. So they literally kept 173 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 8: the light sign during the drive with them, particularly in 174 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 8: particular in ukham White, so a lot of coal going 175 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 8: on the fire. They have looked at trial and biomass 176 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 8: and they want to do that, but you know, for 177 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 8: the moment it's largely coal, so that a third unit 178 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 8: going there. So one thousand and eighty one Gigat's prayer. 179 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 8: It was up fifty two percent on a year ago 180 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 8: generation up eighteen percent and getting a good. 181 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 2: Price for it. 182 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 8: As well. If you look at the average price, it 183 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 8: was three in the thirty eight bucks and meg go 184 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 8: it out and it was up from one hundred and 185 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 8: thirty one a year ago. So it just shows you 186 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 8: the tight market, but that they did know how New 187 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 8: zeal needs to work on. You've alluded to this our 188 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 8: energy security and you look at Huntley, she said that 189 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 8: it's going to be an economic beyond twenty twenty eight. 190 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 8: So what happens if you don't have a dry spell 191 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 8: in a few years time. They said, that's going to 192 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,719 Speaker 8: require a lot of investment and they and they need 193 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 8: to have some sharing in it. And then they in 194 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 8: this coupe, they've got forty six percent of that production 195 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 8: down eighteen percent there and our guests supplies are also 196 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 8: running out, and of course the previous government put a 197 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 8: band on new expiration, so or bit of a problem. Yeah, 198 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 8: wind and solar are great, but not so good when 199 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 8: wind's not blying and the sun's not shining. But you 200 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 8: have got this push into renewables. Obviously the deal of 201 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,319 Speaker 8: t Wise helping their genesis is also on that journey. 202 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 8: They've got a solar farm at Lauriston that's on track 203 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 8: for December. But yeah, overall good update and they should be.

I know these races are important. Nobody 282 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 12: needs to tell me that, and I know that for me, 283 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 12: my goal is just to be in Formula one next 284 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 12: year and these races are are a ticket to doing that. 285 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 12: So plenty more to come, a lot more to learn 286 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 12: as well. 287 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 2: We're really mate. It was Christian Horner who had just 288 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 2: been answering questions about how museless careers is and what 289 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 2: they need to do about that, and needed this. 290 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 13: It's a sample of one, and I think I thought 291 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 13: he jumped in and he looked like a veteran. To 292 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 13: be honest with you, I mean he's a great racer. 293 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 13: I think he can be very happy with that drive today. 294 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 13: I thought he drove a great Grand Prix.

Yes, he is. Helmet 303 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 2: Marco was full of praise as well, which is also 304 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 2: very important. It was suggested to me by more than 305 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 2: one person within the racing community that watch Mexico, which 306 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 2: is this coming weekend if Perez continues to underperform, because 307 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 2: you've got to remember, at this particular point, it's the 308 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 2: constructors that's at play. Red Bull were going to bolt 309 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 2: home with the constructors. This is where all the money is. 310 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 2: There's no prize money for winning the drivers, so the 311 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 2: Stap and Mail may not win. The driver's no prize 312 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 2: money for that. The money is in the constructors and 313 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 2: Red Bull. We're winning. Now they're losing. They're not only second. 314 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 2: They've got Ferrari breathing down their neck. And what they 315 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 2: need in Christian Horner was busy saying this yesterday with 316 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 2: the Delta is what you need is two people hunting together. 317 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 2: The Ferraris were one and two, Red Bull were three 318 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 2: and seven, and so Perez is not holding up his 319 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 2: end of the bargain. And if they think they've got 320 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 2: a driver that can get the more points between now 321 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 2: and the end of the season. This is where my 322 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 2: two contacts came in and said, do not be surprised 323 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 2: if Perez is jettison out of the car after Mexico 324 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 2: and Lilliam's in a Red Bull before the end of 325 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 2: the season.

Overall. We've gone 331 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 2: from one point two seven und nine hundred and forty, 332 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 2: so that's about three hundred million dollars, so that's a 333 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 2: lot less.

It's literally you're 362 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 2: on that road and you're thinking, God, I wish we'd 363 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 2: done this twenty years ago. My life is so much 364 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 2: easier because of it. That's what you're in for in 365 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 2: the Hawks Bay. 366 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 16: Oh, I can't wait. 367 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 2: It's exciting.

I personally drive 371 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,199 Speaker 16: it every single day. So it's going to make a 372 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 16: massive difference to many many people in the region. 373 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 2: For people who have not been on it. When they 374 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 2: called it an expressway, is it express Is it a 375 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 2: good road as it stands? Or passed its use by? 376 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 16: No passa use by. It is not an expressway at all. 377 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 16: That word should not be used for that road. It 378 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 16: is quite the opposite, especially at peak times, and it's 379 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 16: been like that for a long time, but considerably worse 380 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 16: since Cyclone Gabriel. 381 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 2: I was going to say, so unique set of circumstances 382 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 2: in your particular part of the world. Is the Gabriel 383 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 2: experience reminded you of the value of good efficient roading. 384 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 16: Absolutely, we were reminded that we aren't as resilient as 385 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 16: we should be, and we need to improve that so 386 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 16: that we're never in that position ever. 387 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 2: Again, what sort of use is the road getting for 388 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 2: people who have not used it? Is this will improve 389 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 2: mainly for trucks and transport that sort of thing, or 390 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,199 Speaker 2: is it a commuter bit of roadway as well? 391 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 16: It's both. It actually spans across many things, so a 392 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 16: lot of tracks come through there to go to our port, 393 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 16: which is incredibly important for our freight. But our commuters 394 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 16: that go between Napier and Hastings every single day is. 395 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 2: Huge, fantastic. What's the vibe in the bay given I've got. 396 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 16: You, Oh, the vibe in the bay. We are really 397 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 16: looking forward to summer. Good, So it's here, it's not 398 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 16: pretending to be here. Obviously we come from a primary 399 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 16: industry region that we're growing our crops is incredibly important. 400 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 16: So the summer's coming out and things are looking really 401 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 16: good for Hawks Bay and this news is exactly what 402 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 16: we need going in summer. 403 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 2: Very good to hear.

The average salary in the Public 412 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 2: Service Commission is one hundred and fifty five thousand dollars. 413 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 2: Second is the Social Investment Agency, which as far as 414 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 2: I know doesn't even exist yet. That's the one that 415 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 2: cost is going to.

How much is 461 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 2: Russia involved and how worried are we that Russia's potentially involved. 462 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,360 Speaker 18: We are worried, and it comes at a time when 463 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 18: there's just really is no good news coming from the 464 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 18: East of Europe. Yes, it is pretty much being said 465 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 18: openly here now that Russia was very heavily evolved in 466 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 18: disinformation and possibly even vote buying and to influence not 467 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 18: just this referendum on closer tied to the European Union, 468 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 18: but also in the presidential election. It had been assumed 469 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 18: that the incumbent president that she would get a second term. 470 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 15: She didn't. 471 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 18: She fell well short of that, got only forty two percent. 472 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 18: And this means she now goes up against the pro 473 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 18: Russian socialist candidate who campaigns in Russian, who really appeals 474 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 18: to the Russians in Moldova. Extraordinary that we're talking about 475 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 18: the small, landlocked country might two point six million people, 476 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 18: but it's where it is so strategic. It's because it's 477 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 18: sort of sandwiched there in between Romania and also to Ukraine, 478 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 18: and the real fear is that if Russia gets more 479 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 18: of a foothold there, then it really does not only 480 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 18: seem as though Russia's closer to NATO's border because it 481 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 18: would be on the other side of Ukraine, if you like, 482 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 18: but also would mean that there would be that great 483 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 18: stretch of Russian occupied territory coming right through across from 484 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 18: Crimea right up to the Romanian border. 485 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,959 Speaker 2: Jeez, it's interesting geopolitically at the moment, which does I 486 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 2: suppose to I've tail into this business of North Korea. 487 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 2: Are the North Koreans rolling into Ukraine to fight on 488 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 2: behalf of the Russians or not? 489 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,479 Speaker 18: A good question, Mike. The South Korean National Intelligence Service 490 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 18: says that around fifteen hundred special troops from North Korea 491 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 18: have gone to Russia. 492 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 14: Now. 493 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 18: The reason that they have gone is because, let's not 494 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 18: forget about a month or so ago, Russia and North 495 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 18: Korea signed a partnership treaty which includes military assistance of 496 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 18: either country is attacked. So what we're hearing from the 497 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 18: Ukrainian side is, boy, there better not be because this 498 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 18: would take everything to another level of escalation. It would 499 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,959 Speaker 18: not just violate you in resolutions, it would not as 500 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 18: violate international law, but it would escalate it even further 501 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 18: because it would mean that there are growing military cooperation 502 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 18: from outside the region. It would also mean there's more 503 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,679 Speaker 18: arms transfer and actually soldiers' boots on the ground. So 504 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 18: the concern is will they be sent to Ukraine. Well, 505 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 18: it could be that they would just go and defend 506 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 18: that Russian border region which is to the east of Ukraine, 507 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 18: which Ukraine is firing missiles into all the time. Would 508 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 18: those North Koreans be going there to train or to fight? 509 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 18: There have been some North Korean offices seen in the 510 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 18: east of Ukraine, but there's nothing like that large number 511 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 18: of actual troops there. But certainly this is the big 512 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 18: concern at the moment, is that this would widen the 513 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 18: conflicts so be so much that you know, where do 514 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 18: you go from here exactly? 515 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 2: I don't know if you're following this at all, but 516 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 2: I'm semi fascinated this Bricks meeting that starts today in Russia, 517 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 2: hosted by Russia and Putna noted the other day said 518 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 2: most of the world's christ coming out of the Bricks organization. 519 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 2: I mean, do you guys sit in Europe wonder about 520 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 2: all of this? And they seem to be growing And 521 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 2: then the North Koreans are involved and the war's gone 522 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 2: on for years now, and Trump might win the election 523 00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 2: and that's the end of the money. I mean, there's 524 00:24:59,400 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 2: a lot to think about. 525 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 18: There is a lot to think about. Yes, we have 526 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 18: heard in the last last couple of weeks that there 527 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 18: is a special unit now being set up in a 528 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,439 Speaker 18: sort of London Lions office the head of the European 529 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 18: Commission this what do we do if Trump has re 530 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,360 Speaker 18: elected that learn lessons from the past, build everything up. 531 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 18: I think what a lot of people are talking about here, 532 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 18: Mike is and now it finally is being said that 533 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 18: there is a Cold War II now happening, and you 534 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 18: can't you can't just hide it away anymore. That we're 535 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 18: right back to where we were in the sixties, where 536 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 18: you've got these two big blocks. The difference, of course is, Mike, 537 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,479 Speaker 18: are the other players in the neighborhood. Now you've got China, 538 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 18: You've got North Korea, You've got these countries that have 539 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,959 Speaker 18: got mini more weapons that we saw in the in 540 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 18: the first Cold War, and they're also looking at areas 541 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 18: much further away. You hear all the time here now 542 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 18: all the time people talking about Taiwan. Is Taiwan going 543 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 18: to to be the flashpoint? Is it going to be 544 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 18: what Berlin was in the First Cold War? Is that 545 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 18: what Taiwan is going to bee? 546 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 2: Is that interesting? All right? Nice to talk to Catherine. 547 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,439 Speaker 2: Go well, catch up next week. Catherine Field in front 548 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,199 Speaker 2: and my ongoing fascination with India. We are desperate to 549 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 2: do business with India, I mean not China's bad enough 550 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 2: at the moment. China's at the bricks meeting, and India 551 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 2: is at the bricks meeting, and we can't fall over 552 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 2: ourselves enough to do business with India for obvious reasons. 553 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 2: And yet they're sitting there in the middle of Russia. 554 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 2: So on, completely the opposite side to us. Speaking of which, 555 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 2: Assange's father, who's at the bricks meeting in Russia. Assange's 556 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 2: father says, he's grateful to putin for the long standings 557 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 2: of for all you lovies who loved Julian Assange. He's 558 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 2: grateful to putin for the long standing support of the 559 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 2: son and his ongoing persecution by Western authorities. As a 560 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 2: John Shipton rived in Moscow Sunday for the bricks meeting, 561 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 2: Putin was the quote unquote the first head of state 562 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 2: to defend Julian's interests. Just the sort of person you 563 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 2: want on your site. Nine away from seven. 564 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: On my costing Breakfast with al Vida Retirement Communities News, togs. 565 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 2: Hed be like, Nope, I don't think those wages of 566 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:12,679 Speaker 2: the public servants are out of step with where they 567 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 2: should be. Most of those positions will need to be 568 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 2: held with university degrees. If I had agree, I would 569 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 2: expect one hundred thousand dollars. I think there's probably fair enough. 570 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 2: By the way, speaking of universities, there's a growing angst 571 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 2: at the moment of the number of people applying to 572 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 2: go to university in terms of halls and residents and 573 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 2: stuff and missing out. So I'll come back to that 574 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 2: later on in the program. Mike, how many public servants 575 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 2: get paid more than MPs? My guess is thousands? Are 576 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 2: I think you guess would be wrong. It would be hundreds, 577 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,439 Speaker 2: but certainly not thousands, which doesn't seem right. Surely members 578 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 2: of Parliament should be at the top of the public 579 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 2: salary tree. Why because they're so brilliant, Because they are 580 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 2: little individual pieces of genius that we can't pay enough. 581 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 2: I don't think so. Five minutes away from seven. 582 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: Well, the ins and the outs, it's the fizz with 583 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: business favor take your business productivity to the next level. 584 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,439 Speaker 2: But some are idiots. According to the House of Travel 585 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 2: cooations are trending. We're just making up words these days. 586 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 2: Is this is what the travels as cool cations cool caations, 587 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 2: So that hashtag see it says, is that what it is. 588 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 2: You travel during the shoulder season, so that's the period 589 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 2: between peak and off, and you travel to places that 590 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 2: are cooler weather, fewer crowds, good deals. But for the 591 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 2: first time ever, callcations to Europe are expected to match 592 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,360 Speaker 2: summer volumes of travel next year. Isn't it incredible? They're 593 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 2: already seeing a fourteen percent increase in caucation travel bookings 594 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 2: to Europe next year compared with this year. The numbers 595 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 2: up thirty six percent on twenty twenty three. They expected 596 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 2: to keep climbing as the ocr cuts fuel the travel demand. 597 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 2: The moment we get a bit more money. 598 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 11: Let's go somewhere. 599 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 2: Italy is the top caucation destination, followed by Spain and France. 600 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 2: In Spain, you'll be met at the airport by person 601 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 2: spraying you with a water pistol, saying go home, go home, 602 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 2: But you won't you'll go on your calcation.

What we like to do? No one 606 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 2: loves a river cruise more than a good old kei. 607 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 2: We callcation river cruise.

Walking and cycling is gaining and popularity. 612 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 2: We are so dynamic as a group, aren't we. We 613 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 2: go for a good walk in a cycle with Brian 614 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 2: and Janis in a small group tour on our calcation 615 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 2: before we hop on a river cruise.

The mic Hosking 628 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: breakfast with the range rover villa designed to intrigue can 629 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 1: use tog zed b. 630 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 2: It is seven past seventh morning. Change coming to the 631 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 2: three strikes rais human jails is going to be allowing 632 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 2: at the threshold entry point currently based around the two 633 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 2: year sentence that'll be have to won. The Law Association 634 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 2: Vice president Julian Kincaid's with us on this Julian morning 635 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 2: to you, good morning. Make you're disappointed? Will that be 636 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 2: a fair emmation of your view? 637 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 19: Very disappointed. We did make submissions to the committee about 638 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 19: the issues that we saw with the three strikes as 639 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 19: it was currently drafted prior to the United slant yesterday 640 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 19: by Nicola McKay. And this is just exascerbating a problem 641 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 19: that will exist anyway. 642 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 2: Is it the three strikes or is it the trigger point. 643 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 19: It's a combination of it all. First of all, there's 644 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 19: no evidence that this actually works in the way that 645 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 19: people want to work. 646 00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 2: It's not a. 647 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 19: Deterrent and fortunately what we want all of us want 648 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 19: less crime and less serious crime. But this is actually 649 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 19: going to capture all sorts of people who shouldn't necessarily 650 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 19: be there. For example, sentencing is very nuanced and difficult, 651 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 19: and some people might be sent to jail simply because 652 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 19: they don't have a house in which they can do 653 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 19: an electronically monitored sentence. It will lead to unfair and 654 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 19: unjust outcomes. 655 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 2: Is it nuanced because they've made it nuanced, and it 656 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:25,959 Speaker 2: doesn't have to be as nuanced as it is. 657 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 19: No sentencing must be nuanced. There are so many factors 658 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 19: in human beings that apply. We look first at the 659 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,959 Speaker 19: offense always in sentencing, and the judge takes a starting 660 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 19: point based on the offense, and then they look at 661 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 19: factors that are unique to that offender. And there's a 662 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 19: balance that has to be performed with all sentences. And 663 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 19: it's complex, and that complexity might not always come across 664 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 19: in a newspaper article, which I think is where a 665 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 19: lot of the people who see problems get their information. 666 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 2: Those people have a vote as to you and this 667 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 2: is where we're at. We're at the intersection of public 668 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 2: opinion versus the legal fraternity, aren't we. 669 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 19: Yes, one would expect that any changes are based on evidence. 670 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 19: And if they seriously want there to be a difference 671 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 19: made to serious offending, they need to put more money 672 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 19: into mental health and other rehabilitation processes which help to 673 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 19: keep make sure, take away the causes of crime, and 674 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 19: that will impact on the people committing crimes. 675 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 2: True to say, if you're in jail, you don't commit crime. 676 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 19: Actually it's not true. 677 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 2: You're not breaking into my house while you're in jail. 678 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 19: No, you're not breaking into your house. But there are 679 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 19: other crimes that people commit allegedly at the moment, there's 680 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 19: a few cases before the courts whilst they're in jail. 681 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 19: That is not the issue. I'm also very very concerned 682 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 19: about the lack of parole. Parole is an incentive for 683 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 19: good behavior and it encourages people, incentivises them to do 684 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 19: engage with psychology, just and take programs, understand the trigger points. 685 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 19: And this under this regime, the most serious offenders will 686 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 19: be not allowed any parole, they won't be given any rehabilitation. 687 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 19: We can say that now and then they'll be chucked 688 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 19: out on the street without this strong support that parole 689 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 19: the parole system puts around people to make sure they 690 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 19: transition back. 691 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 14: Into our society. 692 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 19: This is actually going to achieve exactly the opposite of 693 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 19: what they want to achieve, and that's what concerns us. 694 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 2: Julien kN Kay, appreciate your time very much, Mike. We 695 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 2: don't want a deterrent. We want more bad people in 696 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 2: prison for longer. 697 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 20: Mike. 698 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 2: The reason we have so many recidibus criminals is because 699 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 2: of that defense lawyer're making excuses for them and why 700 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 2: they offend. And so neither party shall agree. Ten minutes 701 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 2: past seven, tasking another chapter in the convoluted, highly confusing 702 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 2: world of medical jobs. From next month, applications for certain 703 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 2: roles from certain countries will be fast tracked, the targets 704 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 2: twenty days. Australia has just implemented a similar policy last week. 705 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 2: Royal New Zealand College of GP's president Cement the Mettens 706 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 2: will a Samantha morning. 707 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 14: To you, good morning. 708 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 2: How are you are we paying basic wells? Are we 709 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 2: basically playing catch up with Australia? 710 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 21: Yeah? 711 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 14: Well, the conversations about this have gone on synchronously, so 712 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 14: we knew that they were doing the same sort of 713 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 14: thing that we also were doing, and we do work 714 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 14: sort of hand in hand. 715 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 2: It's not ketch up, right are we actually do we 716 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 2: have any jobs? It's just last time I looked, there 717 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 2: was about a thousand nurses that turned up in the 718 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 2: country and that couldn't find a job. It seems to 719 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 2: be a convoluted mess. 720 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 14: Yeah, and complex is exactly what health is. I think 721 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,359 Speaker 14: we do have jobs in certain areas, and so in 722 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 14: general practice, there are plenty of roles available. In psychiatry, 723 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 14: there are in some of the antcevitics. There's plenty of 724 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 14: jobs available. So it's just a matter of being able 725 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 14: to have someone who's coming, not wait for months on 726 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 14: ends to get your registration. 727 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,879 Speaker 2: So it's in a hospital, I need an anesthetist, there's 728 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,279 Speaker 2: one in Australia and Sydney wants to move. So in 729 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 2: other words, what we're tidying up here is the joining 730 00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 2: of the dots and the paperwork, and we're going to 731 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 2: get that done more efficiently. So there is a job, 732 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 2: there is a person. We're just doing better administration. 733 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 14: Yes, it is a much better administration. 734 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:09,839 Speaker 2: How is it possible that we're sitting here in twenty 735 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 2: twenty four having this conversation. We didn't do this about 736 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 2: I don't know one hundred years ago. 737 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 14: I think the thing about medicine is we want people 738 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 14: to come in to our services that are safe, and 739 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 14: we have slowly got better and better systems at looking 740 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,759 Speaker 14: at each other's clinicians and saying, yes, this is what 741 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 14: safety looks like for a commission clinician. We can have 742 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 14: it on paper, but it doesn't mean that that person's 743 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,799 Speaker 14: not a rogue. And so the joined upness of the 744 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,360 Speaker 14: Medical Council's globally has started to happen. So it helps 745 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,359 Speaker 14: a lot for us to know exactly what other jurisdictions 746 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 14: are doing so that we know what we're getting when 747 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 14: they come in. 748 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 2: Are we attractive? 749 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 14: We're attracted because we're a great country and we are 750 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 14: a little way away but much better than some political 751 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 14: environments that other people live in, and so there are 752 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 14: a lot of people who do want to come. And 753 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 14: we have forty one percent of our medical professions are 754 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 14: overseas graduates, so we do attract a lot. Good hid yeah, good, 755 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 14: but positive. 756 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 2: I almost had a health and positive conversation there were here, Samantha, 757 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,240 Speaker 2: So that worked out well, Samantha Merton, Royal College of GPS, 758 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 2: because I am worried about the health system the way 759 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:18,840 Speaker 2: it doesn't seem to be functioning at the moment. Thirteen 760 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 2: minutes past seven sea, should we all be speaking of 761 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 2: jobs training?

And 835 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 2: that's the problem, isn't it. As I was trying to say, 836 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,839 Speaker 2: it's the intersection between what the legal profession and most 837 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:00,759 Speaker 2: of it. To be fair to the legal most of 838 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 2: the legal profession are not fans of three strikes. It's 839 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,400 Speaker 2: just us of rest of us out here in the 840 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 2: real world.

Your hearing's floard those glims Actually because 864 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 2: he thought did he just drop the F bomb? And 865 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 2: he went and checked and he didn't, he said, shocking. 866 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,640 Speaker 22: That's why I'm here, because I investigate these things on 867 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 22: behalf of people with. 868 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:25,399 Speaker 2: Bad hearing, precisely seven twenty three now there are. I'm 869 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,920 Speaker 2: here to tell you more people than ever with private 870 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:29,680 Speaker 2: medical insurance. Let me give you some numbers, and the 871 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 2: so called costs a little bit crisis. Over fifteen thousand 872 00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,560 Speaker 2: more people joined Southern Cross last year. That's just one company. 873 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,560 Speaker 2: They've got almost a million customers now. So having dealt 874 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,279 Speaker 2: with my company, which isn't Southern Cross recently over a 875 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 2: series of issues, I can inform you I pay over 876 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 2: four thousand dollars a year and I've never made a 877 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,360 Speaker 2: claim in my life. So so far they're winning. But 878 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 2: I know a person who had an OP the other 879 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,319 Speaker 2: day that had a value attached to it. A forty 880 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,399 Speaker 2: thousand dollars. Wasn't a big op, wasn't a major op. 881 00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,919 Speaker 2: Forty thousand dollars. The surgeon did seven of them that day, 882 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,280 Speaker 2: seven times forty thousand dollars operators. Seven ops had forty 883 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,680 Speaker 2: thousand dollars. That's a lot of business for just one surgeon, 884 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,759 Speaker 2: one day, one clinic, which would explain why Southern Cross 885 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:13,879 Speaker 2: are paying out six million dollars a day last year. 886 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 2: Think about that, six million dollars for every business day 887 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:20,160 Speaker 2: last year. So my obvious question is what's wrong with us? 888 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,839 Speaker 2: I mean, half of members made a claim last year, 889 00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:27,360 Speaker 2: there were over three million actual claims. How's that possible? 890 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,480 Speaker 2: As a result of all these claims, Southern Cross ran 891 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,920 Speaker 2: a deficit, no kidding. They also had to deal with 892 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,720 Speaker 2: increased costs of claims. That's fifty percent, the fifty percent 893 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 2: of them. By the way, that's gone up from thirty 894 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 2: three percent. Used to be a third of people making 895 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,840 Speaker 2: a claim. Now it's fifty percent. That was in twenty nineteen. 896 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,000 Speaker 2: So in the past handful of years there's been an 897 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 2: explosion in medical claims. Why knees are up seventeen percent. 898 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,840 Speaker 2: Colonoscopies are up seventeen percent, hips are up eleven percent. 899 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:52,799 Speaker 2: I mean is that age? Are we all that now? 900 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:57,160 Speaker 2: Just literally falling apart? The simple reality is this can't continue. Well, 901 00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 2: I mean it can, but at a price. And is 902 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 2: it any prize your price is going up. Part of 903 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,440 Speaker 2: the reason the numbers are getting in it's going up 904 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,799 Speaker 2: in terms of insurance, I've got no doubt is because 905 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 2: the public system is under pressure. And who would want 906 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 2: to deal with the public system if you've got the 907 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 2: wherewithal not to So a public system not working well 908 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,080 Speaker 2: on anything outside of emergencies, and the private system under 909 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:18,400 Speaker 2: pressure from ever growing numbers of claims. Is it possible 910 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 2: we are not well as a country? How come so 911 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,319 Speaker 2: many people are actively engaged with the health system? Are 912 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,760 Speaker 2: we worse than Australia for example? And if so, why 913 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,920 Speaker 2: how long can a private model go for? Whereby the 914 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,239 Speaker 2: prices just go up and up and up and up. 915 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,720 Speaker 2: Along with the claims, we seemingly are getting sicker and sicker. 916 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,000 Speaker 2: Why is this not the cold hard truth that when 917 00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,719 Speaker 2: they say health is a bottomless pit, it is in 918 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:45,960 Speaker 2: fact true, because these numbers show it is asking as 919 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,120 Speaker 2: sort of pleased yesterday. I don't want to rain on 920 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,399 Speaker 2: Golera's garrim and she's had a tough enough time as 921 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:54,160 Speaker 2: it is. But she appealed, as you're well aware her convictions, 922 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:58,320 Speaker 2: she pled guilty and then appealed it. And part of 923 00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,319 Speaker 2: the reason around her appeal appeared to be that she 924 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,720 Speaker 2: may or may not have applied to the International Criminal 925 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,799 Speaker 2: Court for a job as part of the lack of 926 00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,200 Speaker 2: information in the case that day, she may or may 927 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 2: not even have her license to be able to apply 928 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,040 Speaker 2: for the job that may or may not be in evidence, 929 00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,279 Speaker 2: and she may may not have applied to a job 930 00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:19,040 Speaker 2: that may or may not have existed. Her lawyer also 931 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,360 Speaker 2: argued that it could be a bit difficult for the 932 00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,719 Speaker 2: old mental health now, all of which are coach and 933 00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,040 Speaker 2: arguments I'm sure I heard in court every single day, 934 00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:27,879 Speaker 2: and I was hoping to myself that she wouldn't get 935 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:31,160 Speaker 2: let off because there's then no point of the justice system. 936 00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:32,480 Speaker 2: Then we come back down to the beginning of the 937 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,400 Speaker 2: discussion we had before. If you're going to start committing 938 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:36,640 Speaker 2: crimes and pleading guilty to crimes and then go, please, 939 00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,239 Speaker 2: can I have some sort of excuse to get out 940 00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,600 Speaker 2: of it. So I personally wish a well. I don't 941 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,680 Speaker 2: know her, I wish her well. She's had a hell 942 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,040 Speaker 2: of a time and I hope she gets on with 943 00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,879 Speaker 2: a life and does okay for herself. But I am 944 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 2: pleased the justice system stood its ground and you can't 945 00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,799 Speaker 2: do what she did and then start laying out some 946 00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 2: sort of mayor culp for that you're special or different 947 00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:02,319 Speaker 2: or unusual. But then again, speaking of crimes in the 948 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:08,799 Speaker 2: mailbox yesterday addressed to mister m n J. Hosking was 949 00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:13,360 Speaker 2: a speeding ticket and the first that I have had, 950 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,719 Speaker 2: and I couldn't remember, but it would be I mean, 951 00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:22,759 Speaker 2: certainly a decade, possibly longer. But there's some problems with it, 952 00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:24,719 Speaker 2: so we'll have to get into this in the next 953 00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:26,480 Speaker 2: half hour of the program. Actually, I might ask the 954 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,120 Speaker 2: Prime Minister to fix it for me and make it 955 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 2: go away. We'll see how that goes. Chris Luxon next. 956 00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:37,000 Speaker 1: Your trusted source for news and fews, the Mike Hosking 957 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 1: Breakfast with Bailey's Real Estate, your local experts across residential, commercial. 958 00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:43,040 Speaker 15: And rural news. 959 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,560 Speaker 2: Togsendb I've got my hands on the members of the 960 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,960 Speaker 2: esteemed Ehemota Steering Committee, so I'll work you through their 961 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,399 Speaker 2: credentials in a couple of moments. Stephen Fry by the way, 962 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,640 Speaker 2: after eight o'clock this morning, meantime being a Tuesday, the 963 00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:59,759 Speaker 2: Prime Minister's with us. Christopher Luxeon, Good morning, Lawton. Is 964 00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:00,520 Speaker 2: he there or not? 965 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:01,040 Speaker 14: Oh? 966 00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:02,239 Speaker 2: He is there? Are you with us? 967 00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:02,800 Speaker 17: Yeah? 968 00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:04,800 Speaker 20: I am? I just say how good is Liam Lawson? 969 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:08,680 Speaker 2: He was absolutely fantastic And you won't have spent some 970 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:10,640 Speaker 2: time watching it because you've got a country to run 971 00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:12,239 Speaker 2: and I just run a breakfas show, so I had 972 00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:15,440 Speaker 2: more time. But what he did was just just exceptional nomenal. 973 00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:19,120 Speaker 2: And do you get frustrated because as I watched yet 974 00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:24,040 Speaker 2: again slavishly to your post cabinet press conference, you opened 975 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,200 Speaker 2: with that very thought that you know, New Zealand had 976 00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,799 Speaker 2: a fantastic sporting weekend. What's the point of doing that 977 00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,120 Speaker 2: given you know that none of those people sitting in 978 00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:34,799 Speaker 2: front of you deal with any of that and will 979 00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:36,640 Speaker 2: never ask you a question about it ever. 980 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:41,080 Speaker 20: Well, like I'm also talking through the media to people 981 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,120 Speaker 20: across his own so I always think it's a good 982 00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,080 Speaker 20: chance to acknowledge, you know, what was a great weekend, 983 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,280 Speaker 20: and you know that's how I opened this one yesterday, 984 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,719 Speaker 20: And we had some good news yesterday around the roads 985 00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,239 Speaker 20: of national significance. We've actually kicked off one, which is 986 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:53,960 Speaker 20: the Hawks Bay Expressway. 987 00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:55,719 Speaker 2: They didn't ask about those either. 988 00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:58,960 Speaker 20: No, but we'll upbelded that for about twelve to fifteen 989 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:00,960 Speaker 20: months sooner. And that's pretty progress I reckon in the 990 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,920 Speaker 20: first year to get going with that. So there's a 991 00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,680 Speaker 20: lot more to do. Obviously there's a big program will 992 00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:06,720 Speaker 20: work on roads, but you know that was the focus. 993 00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,480 Speaker 20: But then obviously it goes into general topics of the day. 994 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,400 Speaker 2: Right, what did they ask you about? 995 00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,040 Speaker 20: There was conversations around Andrew Bailey. 996 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:17,840 Speaker 2: There was conversation, So the conversation is going to be 997 00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:22,880 Speaker 2: around Andrew Bailey, just just for my edification, correct me 998 00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,560 Speaker 2: if I'm wrong. But the coverage of the story has 999 00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:29,160 Speaker 2: been convoluted to the extent that nobody actually knows what happened. 1000 00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:32,400 Speaker 2: Do you know specifically what happened. 1001 00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:37,120 Speaker 20: Yes, you know. What happened was he visited a business, 1002 00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:40,680 Speaker 20: he engaged with staff there. He thought he was making 1003 00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,799 Speaker 20: some lighthearted comments and bentter and he clearly got it 1004 00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:47,319 Speaker 20: very very wrong and unintentionally made someone feel pretty hurt 1005 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,319 Speaker 20: and insulted, and so as a consequence, you know, he's 1006 00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,120 Speaker 20: a knowledge that he got that wrong. He feels quite 1007 00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:56,360 Speaker 20: mortified about that, quite rightly. So he's apologized most importantly 1008 00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 20: to the complainant, but also to me, and then assured 1009 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,520 Speaker 20: me that that's the behavior that won't happen again, because frankly, 1010 00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,320 Speaker 20: that fell short of the senas I expect from my minister's. 1011 00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:05,160 Speaker 2: Did he know the person? 1012 00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,239 Speaker 20: No, not that I'm aware of. No, he was just 1013 00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:09,560 Speaker 20: visiting a business. 1014 00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:14,520 Speaker 2: Which to my I assumed he knew somebody, because I 1015 00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,040 Speaker 2: cannot fathom in my mind if I'd known. Oh good 1016 00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:18,480 Speaker 2: out there, Chris, how are you? 1017 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:18,759 Speaker 8: Yeah? 1018 00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:20,400 Speaker 2: I haven't seen you for five years? What are you 1019 00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:21,160 Speaker 2: still doing here? 1020 00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:21,399 Speaker 15: Mate? 1021 00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,880 Speaker 2: Oh god, what a loser? Are you still working here? 1022 00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,319 Speaker 2: Et cetera. I get that, not just make it right, 1023 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,200 Speaker 2: but I get it. How do you explain a minister 1024 00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,359 Speaker 2: of the crown going up to a person that he's 1025 00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:35,399 Speaker 2: literally never met in his life in going why don't 1026 00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,799 Speaker 2: you get some wine and f off you, loser? How 1027 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,080 Speaker 2: does that evolt? 1028 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,080 Speaker 20: I mean, he got it very very wrong. I mean 1029 00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:46,759 Speaker 20: there's you can sort of dispute stories on both sides 1030 00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,120 Speaker 20: as to what exactly was said or wasn't said. But 1031 00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,799 Speaker 20: the bottom line is from his perspective, he owns it 1032 00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,080 Speaker 20: completely and that's why you saw him front it very 1033 00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,960 Speaker 20: strongly on can you father? Well, I mean again, no, 1034 00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:00,680 Speaker 20: I can't. I mean that's I said to him. It's 1035 00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:03,920 Speaker 20: pretty disappointing because it's very disappointing because they aren't the 1036 00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:05,799 Speaker 20: standards or the language or the behavior that I would 1037 00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,080 Speaker 20: expect to my ministers. You hold the position twenty four 1038 00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,719 Speaker 20: to seven, as I've said to the cabinet from day one, 1039 00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:14,839 Speaker 20: and the reality is, you know, he caused hurt an 1040 00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:18,000 Speaker 20: insult to somebody. He's acknowledged that. You know, he has apologized, 1041 00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:21,359 Speaker 20: it's genuine. He's reached out I think twice he's offered 1042 00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,720 Speaker 20: to meet with the individual if that helps. It's ultimately 1043 00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,239 Speaker 20: up to them as to whether they do or don't 1044 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,880 Speaker 20: want to do that, and most importantly, to assure me 1045 00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:28,680 Speaker 20: it won't happen again. 1046 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,360 Speaker 2: Is there something underhand in the bloke or the company 1047 00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,080 Speaker 2: alerting all of the political parties? 1048 00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,120 Speaker 20: Well, look, I mean the bottom line is, you know, 1049 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,960 Speaker 20: he's got to own it, in front it because regardless 1050 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:44,240 Speaker 20: of what people think about the actual circumstances. The reality 1051 00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,200 Speaker 20: is he caused hurt an insult, and he acknowledges that 1052 00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:49,560 Speaker 20: as soon as it was raised with me. He wrote 1053 00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:53,040 Speaker 20: immediately to apologize to an individual. He's apologized again. He's 1054 00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,720 Speaker 20: offered to reach out, talk on phone, go meet in person, 1055 00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:59,680 Speaker 20: do whatever's needed, and he genuinely, you know, it feels 1056 00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:01,360 Speaker 20: like he was he was trying to engage in some 1057 00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:03,399 Speaker 20: light handed, lighthearted banter, which I. 1058 00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,040 Speaker 2: Just don't see. If he'd known him, he got so 1059 00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,040 Speaker 2: so wrong. If he had known him, if he had 1060 00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:09,840 Speaker 2: met him, if he had some connection with the company. 1061 00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:11,760 Speaker 2: I take there's no connection with the company either. 1062 00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:13,640 Speaker 20: Not that I'm aware of it. 1063 00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,319 Speaker 2: So it's just just a random minister turns up and 1064 00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,600 Speaker 2: tell somebody to off, go home, grab some wine and 1065 00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:22,080 Speaker 2: what I'll lose. I just it's totally totally got it wrong. 1066 00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:26,719 Speaker 20: Yep, totally got it wrong, and you know really understands that, 1067 00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,399 Speaker 20: which is important to me, but again cannot happen again. 1068 00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:32,480 Speaker 2: Okay, have you seen the advice that sim has seen 1069 00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:33,120 Speaker 2: on Wellington. 1070 00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,440 Speaker 20: I haven't seen the advice, but we're in conversation about that. 1071 00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,000 Speaker 20: He will, he will obviously work his way through that 1072 00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:41,520 Speaker 20: and come to a decision shortly. 1073 00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:43,480 Speaker 2: Has he told you what the advice is roughly? 1074 00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,239 Speaker 20: Well, I mean, again, it's sort of obvious to us 1075 00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,600 Speaker 20: that there's some dysfunction going on on the council. There's 1076 00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:53,640 Speaker 20: obviously been a big gap with respect to the long 1077 00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,400 Speaker 20: term plan. And frankly, when I've looked at the balance 1078 00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,640 Speaker 20: sheets and the financials, you know that you know there's 1079 00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:01,680 Speaker 20: there's there's there's a balance sheet there that should be 1080 00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,640 Speaker 20: managed in a much better way. So those have been 1081 00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,719 Speaker 20: at concerns coming through this process. He's taken advice on it, 1082 00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:11,319 Speaker 20: he's considering that right now. It's important he gets it right. 1083 00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:14,600 Speaker 20: But he'll have more right, I'm sure, surely. Well, I 1084 00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:16,440 Speaker 20: mean he's got to make sure that he's actually you 1085 00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:18,799 Speaker 20: know that there's a basis if he's going to make 1086 00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,120 Speaker 20: any intervention that that's you know, well. 1087 00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,400 Speaker 2: The basis is what you've so clearly and publicly stated 1088 00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,320 Speaker 2: over the last couple of weeks, you will as Browning 1089 00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:28,000 Speaker 2: wrong with the council. 1090 00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:30,560 Speaker 20: Yeah, well that's why that's not exactly why we are 1091 00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:32,840 Speaker 20: where we are today, because he's asked for further advice 1092 00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:39,040 Speaker 20: on that. Well, what specifically, as a Minister of Local government. 1093 00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,719 Speaker 20: He has a series of powers, and he just wants 1094 00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,399 Speaker 20: to make sure that he understands those powers well before 1095 00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:46,880 Speaker 20: he pulls the trigger. Yeah, but before he makes a 1096 00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:47,960 Speaker 20: decision on one way or the other. 1097 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:49,839 Speaker 2: Well, pulls the trigger and makes a decision, or has 1098 00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:51,279 Speaker 2: he already made his decision. 1099 00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:53,200 Speaker 20: Well, he'll heaven what to say about that shortly. 1100 00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:55,440 Speaker 2: I just can't work out why it's so complicated. A 1101 00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:59,000 Speaker 2: government can't go round threatening councils without actually following through 1102 00:51:59,000 --> 00:51:59,560 Speaker 2: with the threat. 1103 00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:04,360 Speaker 20: Well, I think we've raised our concerns pretty consistently and 1104 00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,120 Speaker 20: clearly not that long ago. He's got to make sure 1105 00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,920 Speaker 20: he follows proper process so that he does that well 1106 00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,360 Speaker 20: and right. And he's got to take that advice and 1107 00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:15,560 Speaker 20: consider a few things. And so you know, I'm rest 1108 00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:17,680 Speaker 20: assured he'll be moving quickly through it and he'll have 1109 00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:20,480 Speaker 20: something to say shortly. But for now, he's still considering 1110 00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:20,920 Speaker 20: that advice. 1111 00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:22,839 Speaker 2: Who got did you go and told her to fall 1112 00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:23,440 Speaker 2: on a sword? 1113 00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:25,080 Speaker 20: Sorry? Say that again? 1114 00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,000 Speaker 2: Who got to the solicitor general and told her to 1115 00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:27,800 Speaker 2: fall on his sword? 1116 00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:28,719 Speaker 15: Well? 1117 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:31,280 Speaker 20: Look, I mean we welcome her independent decision to withdraw 1118 00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:33,200 Speaker 20: and further review those prosecution guidelines. 1119 00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:34,879 Speaker 2: I mean, have you got that written down in front 1120 00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:40,120 Speaker 2: of you. That's what I said. Who got to us? 1121 00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:42,279 Speaker 2: You shouldn't wake up one morning and change your mind? 1122 00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:43,200 Speaker 2: Who got to it? 1123 00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:45,839 Speaker 20: Well, I mean that the Journey General made it very 1124 00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:47,760 Speaker 20: clear that we expect all New Zealanders to be treated 1125 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,719 Speaker 20: equally under the law. The law should be colorblind, and 1126 00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:54,160 Speaker 20: she articulated that to this list of to General and yeah, 1127 00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:56,560 Speaker 20: that's a core principle of law in New Zealand. So 1128 00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,840 Speaker 20: it's good to see that she's come to a decision. 1129 00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:02,880 Speaker 20: She's withdrawing that guidelines and she'll have another go at it. 1130 00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:04,600 Speaker 2: So the age you can get to the SG is 1131 00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:06,440 Speaker 2: the SG actually independent. 1132 00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:10,080 Speaker 20: Well, I mean the AG this she is appointed by 1133 00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:13,360 Speaker 20: the AG. And it's actually important that you know, she 1134 00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:14,880 Speaker 20: made it very clear to her that, you know, we 1135 00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,040 Speaker 20: expect all these Islanders to be treated equally under the law. 1136 00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,600 Speaker 20: That's that's exactly how it is. You should be held 1137 00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,080 Speaker 20: to account for your actions, regardless of what your background is. 1138 00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:25,080 Speaker 20: And so it's a core principle of the law. It's 1139 00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:28,320 Speaker 20: a core principle of our government obviously, and I suspect 1140 00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:31,400 Speaker 20: all governments. And so she got this one wrong and 1141 00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,480 Speaker 20: quite rightly. I think has made the right decision to 1142 00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:34,840 Speaker 20: withdraw it and to resubmit it. 1143 00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,920 Speaker 2: Oftimately, we had Chris Finlayson on earlier on in the program. 1144 00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:39,960 Speaker 2: He said, you should sack the people at her motel. 1145 00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,600 Speaker 2: This group doing nothing, earning half a million dollars, are 1146 00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:43,560 Speaker 2: you going to sack them? 1147 00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,080 Speaker 20: Well, I know Toma Potaka had some remarks about that 1148 00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,080 Speaker 20: over the last twenty four hours and he's looking into 1149 00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,080 Speaker 20: that very carefully because clearly it's taken. 1150 00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,800 Speaker 2: Getting the same advice an getting before he says anything. 1151 00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:57,279 Speaker 20: No, No, We're just important that we make sure that 1152 00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,840 Speaker 20: we take the advice and then ministers will make decisions. 1153 00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:03,560 Speaker 20: And you know the ministers have strong views on things, 1154 00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,120 Speaker 20: wh as they should do. They can take advice. There's 1155 00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:08,799 Speaker 20: a range of advice. We don't always take it, and 1156 00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:11,399 Speaker 20: it's just important that we get all the process clean 1157 00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,279 Speaker 20: and sorted and quickly delivered. In the background. But you know, 1158 00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:16,440 Speaker 20: as you've heard Thomas ay, he's got concerns given the length, 1159 00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:17,920 Speaker 20: the time it has, the amount of money that's been 1160 00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:19,640 Speaker 20: spent in the absence of a result. 1161 00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,400 Speaker 2: Can I take from your comments yesterday is there a 1162 00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:24,520 Speaker 2: game being played between you and Grant Dalton that he 1163 00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:26,520 Speaker 2: can ring you, but you ring him. And if it's 1164 00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:28,920 Speaker 2: not you, it's Chris Buship, but Chris Buship can't ring him. 1165 00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:32,120 Speaker 2: And who's ringing hard? Does anybody ring anybody? 1166 00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,320 Speaker 20: Well, we're very happy just to engage in a conversation. 1167 00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:37,880 Speaker 20: It's not about who sends what and who does what 1168 00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:41,000 Speaker 20: to who. I guess the thing is ultimately just recognizing look, 1169 00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:44,040 Speaker 20: it is the team New Zealand's decision. We are very 1170 00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:47,880 Speaker 20: open to a conversation and having that conversation. I do 1171 00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,920 Speaker 20: want to say upfront, as you well understand, it's difficult 1172 00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:51,720 Speaker 20: economic times. 1173 00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:51,920 Speaker 15: You know. 1174 00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:53,919 Speaker 20: I think last time, Mike, it was one hundred million 1175 00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:57,399 Speaker 20: dollars the government almost put forward as an offer. We've 1176 00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,040 Speaker 20: got a lot of priorities, you know when you're looking 1177 00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,880 Speaker 20: at hospital, school, roads other things that we're in hell 1178 00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:03,360 Speaker 20: of a mess. We've got to sort some things out. 1179 00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:05,359 Speaker 20: So but what I do want to be is really 1180 00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,040 Speaker 20: clear in that conversation, which is let's have the conversation, 1181 00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:10,360 Speaker 20: but let's get clarity up front, and then let's not 1182 00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:13,320 Speaker 20: of course one hundred million. You look at SHA experiences. 1183 00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:15,520 Speaker 20: Oh look, I think I think the New Zealand public 1184 00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:18,120 Speaker 20: would find that quite challenging, to be honest. You know, 1185 00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,440 Speaker 20: I think and I don't know what that cap would be, 1186 00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,239 Speaker 20: and I really want to understand what they would be 1187 00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:24,320 Speaker 20: thinking and happy to engage in that conversation. 1188 00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,440 Speaker 2: So so if it's more than one hundred million, forget it. 1189 00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:28,040 Speaker 2: If it's less than one hundred million, we could do 1190 00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:28,920 Speaker 2: some business pop mode. 1191 00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:30,960 Speaker 20: You could see last You could see last time, as 1192 00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:32,800 Speaker 20: I owner said, it got to ninety nine million dollars 1193 00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:35,960 Speaker 20: from memory, and it was all you know, that was 1194 00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,759 Speaker 20: the government obviously massively stretched at that point in time. 1195 00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:40,719 Speaker 20: What I just say to you are worse. Nations are 1196 00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:45,080 Speaker 20: even worse, and it's incredibly challenging. And the reality is, 1197 00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:46,680 Speaker 20: I think the New Zealand public, if you say to them, 1198 00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:48,400 Speaker 20: do you want a hundred million dollars spent doing this 1199 00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:50,160 Speaker 20: or do you want a hundred million dollars spent doing 1200 00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:53,160 Speaker 20: something that improves education or healthcare law in order, that's 1201 00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:56,120 Speaker 20: probably where they'd be at the moment, quite rightly. So 1202 00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:58,319 Speaker 20: you know, I just in fairness, but I also don't 1203 00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:00,000 Speaker 20: want to know. I've watched and you would have watched 1204 00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:03,480 Speaker 20: to Over the years, there's just been these ongoing negotiation 1205 00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:06,520 Speaker 20: experiences that I think I don't want to repeat. Let's 1206 00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:09,160 Speaker 20: just get clarity upfront, so everyone's got clarity and can 1207 00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:10,440 Speaker 20: move on one way. 1208 00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:10,719 Speaker 15: Or the other. 1209 00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:13,360 Speaker 2: Did those punks on the roof worry get some chicken 1210 00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:14,120 Speaker 2: and some car. 1211 00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:17,600 Speaker 20: No, we've got six still up there. I think thirteen 1212 00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:19,960 Speaker 20: went up there late last night. Six are up there 1213 00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:23,040 Speaker 20: as I came to onto your call. And you know, 1214 00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:25,280 Speaker 20: we've got police and OT doing a good job actually 1215 00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:28,960 Speaker 20: talking them down. But no, they're not coming down for KFC, 1216 00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:31,560 Speaker 20: but they you know, these are some of our most 1217 00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:34,400 Speaker 20: serious and high coore young offenders. You know what I 1218 00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,200 Speaker 20: just say is what's interesting, Mike is there was fifteen 1219 00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:39,799 Speaker 20: rooftop instances last year in twenty twenty three. This is 1220 00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:42,439 Speaker 20: the first we've had this year. We've got more work 1221 00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:45,800 Speaker 20: to do on hardening the infrastructure post the Mike Bush report, 1222 00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:48,080 Speaker 20: but the Minister and the team are working through that. 1223 00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,319 Speaker 20: So yeah, the key thing is let's get these kids 1224 00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,640 Speaker 20: down safely and then move forward. 1225 00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:56,320 Speaker 2: Appreciate your time, Primate as Chryso Blacks and twelfth away. 1226 00:56:56,840 --> 00:57:01,279 Speaker 1: Cool the mic Asking Breakfast a full show.

It's been shockingly explained 1231 00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,880 Speaker 2: to the wider world by the media because there were 1232 00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:16,320 Speaker 2: more questions and answers as I tried to outline yesterday, 1233 00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:17,680 Speaker 2: and all you have to do in the media if 1234 00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:20,280 Speaker 2: you don't know the detail that you know that people 1235 00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:23,080 Speaker 2: want to know, just say, hey, obviously at home, you're 1236 00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:26,040 Speaker 2: asking this question, this question, this question, and this question. 1237 00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,160 Speaker 2: We don't know the answers to that hints It seems 1238 00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,800 Speaker 2: a bit convoluted and complex.

Event on 1306 01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:52,880 Speaker 17: doing some work for Australian Well in two days time. 1307 01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:58,120 Speaker 17: I'm currently recording a second series of Jeopardy, the American Quisho, 1308 01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:01,480 Speaker 17: which I do in Britain, and I do a version 1309 01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:04,640 Speaker 17: for Australian television as well. And so I'm doing eight 1310 01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:09,560 Speaker 17: shows for Australian Jeopardy starting on Friday, Saturday, Saturday and Sunday. 1311 01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:12,280 Speaker 2: What is your attitude given you raise that you know 1312 01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:15,439 Speaker 2: to work generally? Because I've never seen a person work more. 1313 01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:20,920 Speaker 17: Yes, I mean the sort of lazy thing I say 1314 01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:25,640 Speaker 17: in messages and emails and in conversation when people say, 1315 01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:27,960 Speaker 17: is that really what you're doing this week or whatever? 1316 01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:31,320 Speaker 17: When I explain why I can't get to a party 1317 01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:34,120 Speaker 17: or whatever, and I always say, well, I suppose I 1318 01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:37,320 Speaker 17: must like it, or I wouldn't do it. And I 1319 01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:42,040 Speaker 17: think that's true. I am fortunate in that I don't 1320 01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:44,919 Speaker 17: need to work that hard just in order to put 1321 01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:50,600 Speaker 17: bread on the table, so it must just be some desire. 1322 01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:55,360 Speaker 17: It's like I suppose. I mean, you know, I've got 1323 01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:59,080 Speaker 17: a big waistline because I'm greedy and I really like food, 1324 01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:03,040 Speaker 17: and I've got a fat diary because I'm greedy and 1325 01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:06,080 Speaker 17: really like work. That's the best I can do. 1326 01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:08,600 Speaker 2: The flip side of that, I guess you're in demand. 1327 01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:09,840 Speaker 2: And that's a wonderful thing. 1328 01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:14,680 Speaker 17: It is. It's incredibly touching, and you know, we all 1329 01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:16,640 Speaker 17: have I guess I don't know a human being that 1330 01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:21,439 Speaker 17: doesn't have a touch of imposter syndrome somewhere. Sometimes too much, 1331 01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:24,240 Speaker 17: and sometimes you feels isn't enough in some people. But 1332 01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:27,160 Speaker 17: we all wonder whether we really deserve it, and we 1333 01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:29,560 Speaker 17: have to pinch ourselves and that doesn't go away. Even 1334 01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:34,000 Speaker 17: after nearly five decades of doing this, I still kind 1335 01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:36,240 Speaker 17: of think, can it be true? I still think of 1336 01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:40,920 Speaker 17: myself as the little boy watching Parkinson interview comedy stars 1337 01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:44,400 Speaker 17: and film stars and so on, and just dreaming of 1338 01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:49,400 Speaker 17: the amazing idea of being famous and you know, working 1339 01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:54,000 Speaker 17: on in television and you know, it's extraordinary. I think 1340 01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:56,560 Speaker 17: after all these years it would have lost its luster, 1341 01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,280 Speaker 17: But actually it hasn't. 1342 01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:02,280 Speaker 2: About the breadth of work, which sort of you know, 1343 01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:04,560 Speaker 2: brings me to your show, which is why you're coming 1344 01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:06,280 Speaker 2: to the country. When you put a show together for 1345 01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:08,600 Speaker 2: your life's work. I mean most of it isn't even 1346 01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:11,080 Speaker 2: in there, because I mean otherwise it'll been not like 1347 01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:12,080 Speaker 2: nine hours long. 1348 01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:16,080 Speaker 17: Yes, yeah, and most of the course it's very dull. 1349 01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:16,320 Speaker 21: You know. 1350 01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:19,880 Speaker 17: You turn up an on the appointed date and do 1351 01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:22,200 Speaker 17: the job and then go away and there's not much 1352 01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:26,040 Speaker 17: to say. There aren't stories, you know, And then hilariously 1353 01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:31,200 Speaker 17: Ronekinson exploded. You know that actually hasn't happened. We just 1354 01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:34,000 Speaker 17: sort of get on with things. But as it happens, 1355 01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:40,440 Speaker 17: I have had a life of some interest. Particularly when 1356 01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:43,320 Speaker 17: I was young. I was constantly being expelled from schools, 1357 01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:47,520 Speaker 17: and then I went to prison. And I'm sort of 1358 01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:50,920 Speaker 17: aware that I have an affect, I suppose it's the 1359 01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:56,480 Speaker 17: smart word for it. A demeanor, a look of feel 1360 01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:59,480 Speaker 17: that is confident, English, old fashioned. 1361 01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:00,280 Speaker 18: Uh. 1362 01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:06,040 Speaker 17: And and so this this wild frankly Australian kind of 1363 01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:13,760 Speaker 17: or in the New Zealand kind of slightly more Laraquin 1364 01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:17,560 Speaker 17: or whatever you wild colonial boy sort of. I wasn't 1365 01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:20,800 Speaker 17: exactly ned, Kelly. I mean, I essumed violence, but but 1366 01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:24,480 Speaker 17: I was a rebel as a child, and so much 1367 01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:26,400 Speaker 17: so I went to prison. As I said, so there's 1368 01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:32,200 Speaker 17: some strange stories about what rescued me and and so yeah, 1369 01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:38,160 Speaker 17: and even once I was rescued, I had an extraordinary 1370 01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:43,320 Speaker 17: run in with my own mental health and drug use 1371 01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:46,760 Speaker 17: and things. Again that as I don't come across as 1372 01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:50,919 Speaker 17: being like that, but so for you know, for all that, 1373 01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:53,280 Speaker 17: for all that I work on, and I'm very lucky 1374 01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:57,320 Speaker 17: and very fortunate, I also sometimes feel I'm always ready 1375 01:04:57,640 --> 01:05:00,520 Speaker 17: just to tip over and do something incredibly stupid. 1376 01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:03,760 Speaker 2: Interesting. There's a whole on a couple of moments, Stephen 1377 01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:05,440 Speaker 2: Fry coming too the Country. I give you the details 1378 01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:07,960 Speaker 2: on the show in just a couple of moments. More 1379 01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:09,960 Speaker 2: from Stephen Frye shortly twelve past eight. 1380 01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:14,400 Speaker 1: The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on I Heard 1381 01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:16,200 Speaker 1: Radio powered by News Talks. 1382 01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:19,600 Speaker 2: It be News Talks fourteen past eight. Stephen Frye is 1383 01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:22,760 Speaker 2: with us for it. Now you're talking about your frailties, Stephen, 1384 01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:25,120 Speaker 2: just before the break, but without putting you on the 1385 01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:27,800 Speaker 2: psychiatrists counch. I mean, I remember distinctly it was the 1386 01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:31,600 Speaker 2: nineties you disappeared. I mean, you went off to Europe. 1387 01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:34,040 Speaker 2: You just vanished, and I thought, what the hell has 1388 01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:36,840 Speaker 2: happened there? And yet the funny thing is you put 1389 01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:39,800 Speaker 2: yourself out in front of people, you ask for applause 1390 01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:42,120 Speaker 2: or acceptance, or you know, whatever the case may be, 1391 01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:45,320 Speaker 2: and yet there's a fragility there. How do you explain 1392 01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:45,680 Speaker 2: all that? 1393 01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:48,960 Speaker 17: I mean, I've become more confident in explaining it, not 1394 01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:54,160 Speaker 17: necessarily in unraveling it and giving reasons, but in understanding 1395 01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:57,040 Speaker 17: that it is a part of a lot of people's lives, 1396 01:05:57,040 --> 01:06:02,040 Speaker 17: that I'm hardly alone in having this propensity to lose 1397 01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:07,560 Speaker 17: faith in the purpose of existence. That's sounds so dramatic 1398 01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:10,640 Speaker 17: put that way, but that phrase that one can utter, 1399 01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:15,240 Speaker 17: what is the point you know we're right to. You know, 1400 01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:17,320 Speaker 17: it's like, if you want to get an intellectual about it, 1401 01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:20,240 Speaker 17: it's like sort of existential or as Sam Beckett or 1402 01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:24,080 Speaker 17: you know, this sense that the absurdity and the meaningless 1403 01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:29,680 Speaker 17: of life, the fatuous nonsense of existence that is born 1404 01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:35,360 Speaker 17: to decay and ruin and you know, just oblivion generally 1405 01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:42,280 Speaker 17: to the v l VI, the nothing, and mostly we 1406 01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:45,520 Speaker 17: sort of don't mind. We know it. We know life 1407 01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:50,000 Speaker 17: is pointless, but we find meaning in relationships. We find 1408 01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:53,840 Speaker 17: meaning in self fulfillment. I mean, goodness, I haven't really 1409 01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:55,320 Speaker 17: thought this through, so I don't know how I'm going 1410 01:06:55,400 --> 01:07:00,920 Speaker 17: to end saying this, but generally speaking, I've fine fulfillment. 1411 01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:03,600 Speaker 17: And maybe that's why I work so hard what we 1412 01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:08,320 Speaker 17: began with that I'm trying to delay the realization that 1413 01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:12,360 Speaker 17: it's all meaningless and pointless. I've got to the age 1414 01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:16,680 Speaker 17: now where people actually that I was at school university 1415 01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:20,240 Speaker 17: where some of them have died of natural causes and 1416 01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:24,760 Speaker 17: you know, cancers and things that are early perhaps in 1417 01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:28,479 Speaker 17: the mid sixties. In these days, it's quite I don't 1418 01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:32,160 Speaker 17: expect to die necessarily, but you know, people are starting 1419 01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:36,800 Speaker 17: to and see my face, I see you know, every year, 1420 01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:44,000 Speaker 17: my nipples go another three inches further south. The mechanisms 1421 01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:52,240 Speaker 17: of age, and you know it's so crazy when someone dies, 1422 01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:55,840 Speaker 17: how quickly they've forgotten. I don't want, of course, I'm 1423 01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:59,080 Speaker 17: trying to sell my show now. I gather tickets are 1424 01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:01,960 Speaker 17: going very well, so nice, But but if people come, 1425 01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:04,520 Speaker 17: I'm not going to I'm not going to bring the 1426 01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:07,280 Speaker 17: whole evening right down by talking like that. But though 1427 01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:10,240 Speaker 17: I'm very open to talking about things like that, because 1428 01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:12,800 Speaker 17: the second half of the show, I'm not quite sure 1429 01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:14,320 Speaker 17: having in to do it. I've done it before with 1430 01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:17,240 Speaker 17: QR codes in the beginning and at the interval, so 1431 01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:20,360 Speaker 17: people point their cameras and then that takes them to 1432 01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:22,360 Speaker 17: a site where they can ask a question. And then 1433 01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:26,800 Speaker 17: in the interval I triarge the questions and answer them, 1434 01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:29,720 Speaker 17: because I don't like stage shows where there's someone with 1435 01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:33,439 Speaker 17: a torch going up the and a microphone going up 1436 01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:36,679 Speaker 17: the rows and passing the microphone and it's always disaster 1437 01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:40,160 Speaker 17: and it's sort of eggy. So I'll have a nice 1438 01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:42,960 Speaker 17: basket full of slips of paper with the questions of 1439 01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:45,559 Speaker 17: which we've been written on during the interval, and people 1440 01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:48,080 Speaker 17: are free to ask questions as serious as they like, 1441 01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:54,719 Speaker 17: but also as frivolous as they like. But as you've 1442 01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:58,439 Speaker 17: discovered your despair. I'm not someone who finds it difficult 1443 01:08:58,439 --> 01:08:58,800 Speaker 17: to talk. 1444 01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:01,760 Speaker 2: No, no, not at all. We're loving every moment. Can 1445 01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:04,960 Speaker 2: I ask you just quickly to explain the Austrian situation 1446 01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:09,240 Speaker 2: of people don't know you now have full Austrian citizenship. 1447 01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:12,280 Speaker 2: Does that mean you can vote? And did you vote 1448 01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:13,320 Speaker 2: in the recent election? 1449 01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:19,200 Speaker 17: Yes, I do have Austrian citizenship. It's a you know, 1450 01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:23,559 Speaker 17: they have this fast track for descendants. I think up 1451 01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:26,400 Speaker 17: until great great grandchildren, I did think great great the 1452 01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:30,240 Speaker 17: great grandchildren. I'm a grandchild of an Austrian citizen, but 1453 01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:39,200 Speaker 17: particularly Jewish descendants whose ancestors were expelled, that persecuted, killed 1454 01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:44,040 Speaker 17: in the case of my great grandparents, and they offer 1455 01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:47,400 Speaker 17: citizenship and it's done quite quickly. And I spoke to 1456 01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:49,760 Speaker 17: my mother about my mother's still with us and to say, 1457 01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:53,880 Speaker 17: and she obviously was her mother and father who were 1458 01:09:54,000 --> 01:10:00,439 Speaker 17: from Central Europe, and she has no bitterness towards Austria 1459 01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:06,160 Speaker 17: and the Austrian people in one particular Austrian citizen adult obviously, 1460 01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:10,280 Speaker 17: but so she thought it was a nice idea, you know, 1461 01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:12,439 Speaker 17: she loves the culture as I do, and I was 1462 01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:15,639 Speaker 17: pleased that they're doing it, and I like the idea 1463 01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:18,040 Speaker 17: of having another passport, which just sort of struck me 1464 01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:21,040 Speaker 17: as appealing. But currently, yes, there is this worry of 1465 01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:27,240 Speaker 17: the the fdo that I appear, and that which is 1466 01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:30,439 Speaker 17: the far right party that has gained quite a lot 1467 01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:35,879 Speaker 17: of seats at the recent election, in which I verteds 1468 01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:37,920 Speaker 17: as I have the full right to do now, and 1469 01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:39,559 Speaker 17: it struck me as a you know, it's always a 1470 01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:44,760 Speaker 17: duty and the democracy, isn't it, And so I, yes, 1471 01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:49,400 Speaker 17: it seems a strange time to choose if there are 1472 01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:52,799 Speaker 17: anti Semitic elements in that party, and I'm not fully 1473 01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:55,519 Speaker 17: informed enough about it to know, but I wouldn't be surprised, 1474 01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:59,960 Speaker 17: because far right parties attract even further fringe people to them, 1475 01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:04,920 Speaker 17: some of whom have really revolting views on race, and 1476 01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:07,160 Speaker 17: so it may seem a strange time to join. But 1477 01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:10,120 Speaker 17: on the other hand, I think it's also a kind 1478 01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:18,160 Speaker 17: of commitment to a belief in people that one wants 1479 01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:20,160 Speaker 17: to belong to their country, and this is the country 1480 01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:24,920 Speaker 17: of Mozarts and Heighten and Schubert and Freud and Mather 1481 01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:29,839 Speaker 17: and Senberg and Spike, you know, the most unbelievable artistic 1482 01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:35,680 Speaker 17: center in the world for certain periods, and you know 1483 01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:38,759 Speaker 17: you can't. You know, if if you make a mistake 1484 01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:42,280 Speaker 17: of thinking this culture and these people are rotten, then 1485 01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:45,599 Speaker 17: you're making the same racist mistake as those who say that, 1486 01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:48,400 Speaker 17: you know, all Jews are rotten, are all black people 1487 01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:52,840 Speaker 17: are rotten. The point is we're all all sisters under 1488 01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:57,960 Speaker 17: the skin, as Radio Kipling put it, And so I 1489 01:11:58,000 --> 01:11:59,960 Speaker 17: don't know, it's it's I mean, some people find it 1490 01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:02,160 Speaker 17: mysterious that I would do that, and maybe it is 1491 01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:07,439 Speaker 17: part of my trying not to be the quintessential Englishman 1492 01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:11,240 Speaker 17: that people always accuse me if it is an accusation. 1493 01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:15,840 Speaker 17: And also, you know, I suppose you realize life is 1494 01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:20,400 Speaker 17: short and the longer you live, the more experiences you have, 1495 01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:23,720 Speaker 17: and so a fresh and new experience is all the 1496 01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:27,840 Speaker 17: more welcome.

I haven't 1558 01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:19,120 Speaker 2: got the latest one because I was busy doing something else. 1559 01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:21,599 Speaker 2: But earlier on this morning they were reporting on these 1560 01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:26,040 Speaker 2: youths on the top of the facility, and they demanded, 1561 01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:28,759 Speaker 2: according to our new service, fast food and cigarettes, why 1562 01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:31,679 Speaker 2: they didn't include the getaway car. I've got no idea, 1563 01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:35,320 Speaker 2: because everyone else is they want a getaway car, and 1564 01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:38,040 Speaker 2: that to me just makes it that little bit extra 1565 01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:41,439 Speaker 2: comedic because you don't take them seriously in the first place. 1566 01:15:41,439 --> 01:15:44,280 Speaker 2: So fast food's bog standard, cigarettes bog standard, But a 1567 01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:49,080 Speaker 2: getaway car puts it into the realm of being moderately insane, 1568 01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:50,200 Speaker 2: if not just a little bit. 1569 01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:53,080 Speaker 22: That's understanding themselves because most of the hostage movies I've 1570 01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:54,960 Speaker 22: ever seen it, you ask for a helicopter, don't you. 1571 01:15:55,160 --> 01:15:57,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, yeah, they won't have thought about that, And 1572 01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:00,960 Speaker 2: that's the unfortunate position that they find themselves. And they're 1573 01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:02,360 Speaker 2: not hardened enough. 1574 01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:04,400 Speaker 11: And I guess they're only keeping themselves hostages. 1575 01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:06,760 Speaker 2: Well exactly, and so you know, maybe next time they'll 1576 01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:08,960 Speaker 2: think of a helicopter, but certainly they will if they 1577 01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:10,840 Speaker 2: get a getaway car. I wonder if they've had a 1578 01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:13,880 Speaker 2: conversation as to what sort of getaway car. By the way, 1579 01:16:14,080 --> 01:16:17,559 Speaker 2: the average wage in this country, just going back to 1580 01:16:17,560 --> 01:16:19,439 Speaker 2: the public servants and the one hundred thousand dollars in 1581 01:16:19,479 --> 01:16:23,000 Speaker 2: our exercise about that average wage.

Morning to you. 1591 01:16:45,040 --> 01:16:46,080 Speaker 10: Good morning mate. 1592 01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:49,280 Speaker 2: Keba or Carba. Chris the story and most of us 1593 01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:51,200 Speaker 2: won't know it. So he got shot? 1594 01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:56,120 Speaker 21: Why well, this is one of those stories which could, 1595 01:16:57,040 --> 01:16:59,160 Speaker 21: if it turns out the wrong way, end up as 1596 01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:03,879 Speaker 21: being the cattle for enormous protest, enormous changed, enormous anger, 1597 01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:06,839 Speaker 21: and it was a catalyst for enormous anger. 1598 01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:11,200 Speaker 10: Initially, Chris Caver was twenty four years old. He lived 1599 01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:14,640 Speaker 10: in North London and he was shot by the Metropolitan 1600 01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:17,920 Speaker 10: Police when he tried to evade them trying to stop 1601 01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:23,840 Speaker 10: his car, and he was supposedly unarmed at the time. 1602 01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:27,400 Speaker 10: This caused outrage in the black community of North London 1603 01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:32,080 Speaker 10: and calls for the Metropolitan Police officer to be charged 1604 01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:35,559 Speaker 10: with murder, which is what happened, and today we have 1605 01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:40,439 Speaker 10: the verdict from that from that charge and the officer 1606 01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:45,160 Speaker 10: was found not guilty. And gradually, of course, the backstory 1607 01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:48,519 Speaker 10: came out that Kava had tried to evade the car 1608 01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:53,280 Speaker 10: on numerous occasions. He had several previous convictions, including being 1609 01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:58,160 Speaker 10: linked to gun crime at a drive by shooting. He'd 1610 01:17:58,200 --> 01:18:02,200 Speaker 10: been arrested for possessing a false firearm. He'd also been 1611 01:18:02,280 --> 01:18:09,040 Speaker 10: arrested for domestic abuse. So this picture which we had 1612 01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:13,200 Speaker 10: painted by his local community of Chris cabrasby an absolutely 1613 01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:16,840 Speaker 10: top bloke, upstanding member of the community who had a 1614 01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:20,920 Speaker 10: lot of potential, slightly modified by the time we came 1615 01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:25,920 Speaker 10: to hear what happened, and pleased to say that the 1616 01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:30,439 Speaker 10: Metropolitan Police officer will now resume his duties immediately tomorrow morning, 1617 01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:31,800 Speaker 10: having been accelerated. 1618 01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:36,120 Speaker 2: Having watched the video, they obviously knew who they were chasing, 1619 01:18:36,160 --> 01:18:38,920 Speaker 2: and they knew his gun crime background, and therefore, because 1620 01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:41,880 Speaker 2: it seemed to escalate extremely fast, that was their defense 1621 01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:42,200 Speaker 2: in court. 1622 01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:45,400 Speaker 10: Yes it did, Yes it did, And I think that's 1623 01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:47,840 Speaker 10: what came out in court as well, much as did 1624 01:18:48,360 --> 01:18:52,120 Speaker 10: testimony from other police officers who were at the scene 1625 01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:55,439 Speaker 10: and who said that had had this particular officer I've 1626 01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:59,080 Speaker 10: shot him, then they would have done because they feared 1627 01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:01,599 Speaker 10: that he posed a diar res threat to the life 1628 01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:04,560 Speaker 10: of other police officers and indeed to other people in 1629 01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:08,800 Speaker 10: the surrounding area. And you know, this was twenty twenty two, 1630 01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:11,760 Speaker 10: this happened, so we were just coming out of the 1631 01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:16,879 Speaker 10: tale of the Black Lives Matter movement and George Floyd, 1632 01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:19,800 Speaker 10: and there was a lot of high feeling at the time. 1633 01:19:20,240 --> 01:19:22,559 Speaker 10: And as ever was that sort of high high feeling 1634 01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:28,080 Speaker 10: and fury, it turned itself into a witchhunt against this 1635 01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:31,800 Speaker 10: particular police officer. Obviously it's a tragedy that Chris Caver 1636 01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:35,080 Speaker 10: was shot. Obviously he had something to do with that, 1637 01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:36,080 Speaker 10: shooting himself. 1638 01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:38,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. How much covered you have you got with 1639 01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:42,480 Speaker 2: Charles and the Senator Lydia Thorpe yesterday in Australia. 1640 01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:49,599 Speaker 10: Yeah, we love Lydia Thorpe. She's great. Everywhere Charles goes. 1641 01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:54,280 Speaker 10: Now there are protests about colonialism, they are rarely as 1642 01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:59,040 Speaker 10: shrill or as illiterate as those which were revealed by 1643 01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:03,720 Speaker 10: Ludia Thorpe in Australia, and I think is what has 1644 01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:07,240 Speaker 10: actually gone down incredibly well with the British public is 1645 01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:12,719 Speaker 10: a degree to which the Australians kind of gathered together 1646 01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:16,879 Speaker 10: to say, look, this really isn't on. And that included 1647 01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:19,800 Speaker 10: a large number of people, of course, who want Australia 1648 01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:22,679 Speaker 10: to be a republic rather than a monarchy of the King. 1649 01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:25,760 Speaker 10: Charles and I think the Prime Minister summed it up 1650 01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:28,559 Speaker 10: when he said, you know, this man has been suffering 1651 01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:30,920 Speaker 10: from cancer, travels all this way to talk to us, 1652 01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:33,320 Speaker 10: and that's not the way to talk to him. That 1653 01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:38,320 Speaker 10: that kind of common decency scene goes down very very 1654 01:20:38,360 --> 01:20:40,760 Speaker 10: well indeed with the British public. And I think that 1655 01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:45,000 Speaker 10: has been a bit lapped up. And Lydia's orbe is 1656 01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:48,920 Speaker 10: it is playing quite widely. It's it's you know, the 1657 01:20:48,920 --> 01:20:51,040 Speaker 10: front pages of two or three of the newspapers at 1658 01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:55,519 Speaker 10: the moment, though we are in a peculiar kind of 1659 01:20:56,080 --> 01:20:58,400 Speaker 10: late summer here where nothing much else. 1660 01:20:58,240 --> 01:21:02,400 Speaker 2: Is happening interesting do they? And it was before he left, 1661 01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:05,720 Speaker 2: But this whole business of a broad based apology for 1662 01:21:05,840 --> 01:21:10,439 Speaker 2: slavery many years ago, is there a thing that will 1663 01:21:10,439 --> 01:21:13,160 Speaker 2: ever come to anything more than a headline before he 1664 01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:14,720 Speaker 2: goes and travels anywhere or not. 1665 01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:19,360 Speaker 10: I think not. I think not. And the Foreign Secretary 1666 01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:23,320 Speaker 10: David Lammy, God, it still causes me pain in the 1667 01:21:23,439 --> 01:21:26,400 Speaker 10: heart to say those words. But the Foreign Secretary David 1668 01:21:26,439 --> 01:21:32,520 Speaker 10: Lammy lasked six years ago for Britain to pay reparations 1669 01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:36,439 Speaker 10: to the Caribbean countries for slavery, and indeed, in two 1670 01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:40,560 Speaker 10: thousand and nine called for the British government to apologize 1671 01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:43,080 Speaker 10: to all black people in the country, which would of 1672 01:21:43,080 --> 01:21:47,200 Speaker 10: course involve David apologizing to himself as he is part 1673 01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:53,800 Speaker 10: of the government. And it's not got any traction and interestingly, 1674 01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:57,880 Speaker 10: it hasn't got any traction with Sakia Starmer, who is 1675 01:21:57,920 --> 01:21:59,920 Speaker 10: a man who was prepared if you remember to go 1676 01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:03,040 Speaker 10: down on one knee with Angela Rainer. I don't think 1677 01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:06,960 Speaker 10: there is any appetite for it, and in a way 1678 01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:09,720 Speaker 10: I'm quite in favor of it, because if you have 1679 01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:13,280 Speaker 10: to dig down and look at the causes of slavery 1680 01:22:13,680 --> 01:22:17,920 Speaker 10: and who was particularly culpable without slavery, I think you 1681 01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:21,360 Speaker 10: would on earth a can of worms, which perhaps those 1682 01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:24,479 Speaker 10: who are demanding it to happen I wouldn't expect. 1683 01:22:24,680 --> 01:22:26,280 Speaker 2: I think you're quite right well then Mike will catch 1684 01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:28,640 Speaker 2: up on Thursday. As always Roderick Little out of the 1685 01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:32,120 Speaker 2: mighty UK for us this morning, sixteen to night the. 1686 01:22:32,160 --> 01:22:36,559 Speaker 1: Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by 1687 01:22:36,600 --> 01:22:37,120 Speaker 1: News Talks. 1688 01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:39,640 Speaker 2: It'd be cannot tell you thirteen away from that, by 1689 01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:41,240 Speaker 2: the way, can't tell you how many texts we've got 1690 01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:43,920 Speaker 2: this morning along the lines of as regards the guys 1691 01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:47,800 Speaker 2: on the roof, hosing them, leaving them there, not giving 1692 01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:50,800 Speaker 2: them food, not giving them cigarettes. Certainly no getaway car, 1693 01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:55,400 Speaker 2: latest one helicopter with a monsoon bucket. Interesting approach. Back 1694 01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:57,680 Speaker 2: to these wages. Seventy two hundred and fifteen is the 1695 01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:00,400 Speaker 2: average wage in this country. This is out this morning. 1696 01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:02,400 Speaker 2: Executive in general management, you'll get an average of one 1697 01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:04,400 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty one thousand, six hundred and fifty three. 1698 01:23:04,439 --> 01:23:06,479 Speaker 2: This is just in comparison to the public service. If 1699 01:23:06,479 --> 01:23:08,920 Speaker 2: you got yourself a bit exercised about it, all it 1700 01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:12,880 Speaker 2: one hundred and nine thousand, Banking, finance and insurance ninety 1701 01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:16,879 Speaker 2: seven thousand, So you're below the threshold, the six figure threshold. 1702 01:23:16,920 --> 01:23:17,120 Speaker 15: There. 1703 01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:21,639 Speaker 2: Customer service wages below the average customer service sixty grand, 1704 01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:26,320 Speaker 2: HOSPO and Tourism sixty two, Manufacturing Operation sixty four. Average 1705 01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:29,839 Speaker 2: Capital once again wins the prize at seventy six thousand 1706 01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:32,160 Speaker 2: Smidje over seventy six thousand nine average, So you earn 1707 01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:33,880 Speaker 2: more in the capitol than you were in the country 1708 01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:36,240 Speaker 2: Auckland seventy five thousand and four and twenty. See the 1709 01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:38,360 Speaker 2: capital is if you look at the cost of housing, 1710 01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:40,679 Speaker 2: so your biggest cost in life is your cost of housing. 1711 01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:43,759 Speaker 2: The cost of housing in Wellington is but a fraction 1712 01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:46,840 Speaker 2: of the cost of housing in Auckland, so not only 1713 01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:49,880 Speaker 2: are you earning more, you're paying out less, so in 1714 01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:51,800 Speaker 2: other words, you quids in and that's before you get 1715 01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:55,639 Speaker 2: to a targo, which is the third highest average wage 1716 01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:57,400 Speaker 2: in the country at seventy two thousand. And the cost 1717 01:23:57,439 --> 01:24:00,880 Speaker 2: of housing in Dunedin is nothing. Transported nothing because you 1718 01:24:00,920 --> 01:24:02,640 Speaker 2: live close to town, so you're close to town, so 1719 01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:06,160 Speaker 2: your transports nothing, you're housing's nothing, and you're earning good coin, 1720 01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:09,439 Speaker 2: which goes back to my age old argument. If you 1721 01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:13,040 Speaker 2: can earn that sort of money on average and doing 1722 01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:14,800 Speaker 2: one of those jobs where you could do it here 1723 01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:16,840 Speaker 2: where you wanted, why wouldn't you go to a place 1724 01:24:16,920 --> 01:24:20,960 Speaker 2: like Otargo and earn good money and pay little and 1725 01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:24,120 Speaker 2: feel wealthier and more satisfied than you would elsewhere around 1726 01:24:24,120 --> 01:24:26,720 Speaker 2: the country. Mike, disappointing. You haven't got around to talking 1727 01:24:26,760 --> 01:24:29,599 Speaker 2: about Trump talking about Nicholson's penis for thirteen minutes straight, 1728 01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:33,640 Speaker 2: and this, unfortunately is the problem with the dissection of 1729 01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:35,920 Speaker 2: the media these days. Alan, thank you for your text. 1730 01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:39,600 Speaker 2: When you say Nicholson, do you mean Nicholas. 1731 01:24:39,160 --> 01:24:40,559 Speaker 11: Or do you vet mean Anol Palmer? 1732 01:24:40,760 --> 01:24:43,479 Speaker 2: And when you mean Nicholas, do you mean Arnold Palmer, 1733 01:24:43,520 --> 01:24:46,040 Speaker 2: which is in fact what Trump was indeed talking about. 1734 01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:49,320 Speaker 2: I don't know whether it was thirteen minutes long or not, 1735 01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:56,439 Speaker 2: but we did that yesterday. So wrong name, wrong golfer, 1736 01:24:57,600 --> 01:24:58,400 Speaker 2: wrong day. 1737 01:24:59,120 --> 01:25:05,240 Speaker 22: Wrong penis, the glen, the speeding ticket. 1738 01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:09,080 Speaker 2: So I got a ticket yesterday. First one boss comes 1739 01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:10,960 Speaker 2: straight and goes. I think it was the only teen 1740 01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:13,320 Speaker 2: years I remember, And it's not true. We couldn't find 1741 01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:15,000 Speaker 2: a single time I've got a speeding ticket anyway, so 1742 01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:16,720 Speaker 2: I think it's at least a decade since I've got 1743 01:25:16,760 --> 01:25:18,600 Speaker 2: a speeding ticket that arrives in the mail. Yesterday it 1744 01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:21,880 Speaker 2: was from a camera and I was doing in a 1745 01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:25,840 Speaker 2: one hundred k zone. I was doing one hundred and 1746 01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:33,400 Speaker 2: seven one hundred and seven k's And to get me 1747 01:25:33,479 --> 01:25:36,680 Speaker 2: on now, the significance of the one hundred k's is 1748 01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:40,160 Speaker 2: this was on a road of national significance, the very 1749 01:25:40,360 --> 01:25:43,719 Speaker 2: road that they are going to about to have already 1750 01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:46,320 Speaker 2: announced they want to make one hundred and twenty, So 1751 01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:49,519 Speaker 2: the very same road that it could be tomorrow, they 1752 01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:52,160 Speaker 2: make the speed limit one hundred and twenty, and yet 1753 01:25:52,160 --> 01:25:54,360 Speaker 2: at one hundred and seven on one day now, obviously 1754 01:25:54,400 --> 01:25:56,760 Speaker 2: at the moment it's one hundred, I was breaking the law. 1755 01:25:57,000 --> 01:25:59,080 Speaker 2: I will pay the fine. I'm not complaining about that 1756 01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:02,320 Speaker 2: because the finds that dollars. It's a joke. So does 1757 01:26:02,439 --> 01:26:05,760 Speaker 2: the fine make me want to go less than one 1758 01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:08,599 Speaker 2: hundred and seven? No, because the difference between a one 1759 01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:10,840 Speaker 2: hundred and one hundred and seven is so fin it 1760 01:26:10,920 --> 01:26:13,439 Speaker 2: happens in such a split second. I might have been 1761 01:26:13,479 --> 01:26:15,080 Speaker 2: going ninety seven to one hundred and seven, to one 1762 01:26:15,120 --> 01:26:16,280 Speaker 2: hundred and two to one hundred and one to one 1763 01:26:16,360 --> 01:26:18,679 Speaker 2: hundred and three, just bang, bang bang. That's how speed 1764 01:26:18,680 --> 01:26:20,960 Speaker 2: works on the road. So does it change anything, does 1765 01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:23,720 Speaker 2: it achieve anything? Not at all? And on a road 1766 01:26:23,760 --> 01:26:26,040 Speaker 2: that will be very shortly one hundred and twenty k's. Anyway, 1767 01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:28,960 Speaker 2: I'm doing thirteen k's less than what the road should do. 1768 01:26:29,200 --> 01:26:31,400 Speaker 2: And yet they still have the resource to have a 1769 01:26:31,439 --> 01:26:33,880 Speaker 2: person by the side of the road with his camera 1770 01:26:34,120 --> 01:26:36,800 Speaker 2: pointing at the cars and then sending me out a 1771 01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:37,639 Speaker 2: thirty dollar ticket. 1772 01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:39,040 Speaker 11: I don't think he's a person involved. 1773 01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:41,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, there was.
