1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,159
Speaker 1: Barry Soper, Senior Political Correspondence with US. Now, hey Barry,

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: good afternoon, Heather. The government will be stoked at that

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: official cash right cart.

4
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 2: Right, Well, yes it will be. I mean they'd be

5
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 2: on tenterhooks waiting for this, and it's the first cut

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: since March twenty twenty, so it's a hell of a

7
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 2: long time. In recent months, economic data shows that inflation

8
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: is under control or coming under control, unemployment is rising

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: and economic growth is stalling, which is the downside to it.

10
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 2: But both Chris Luxon and Nicola will has faced the

11
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 2: press gallery at Parliament a short time ago and the

12
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 2: first question that was asked of them was they seem

13
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 2: to be taking all the credit when in fact this

14
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 2: was the Reserve Banks decision. Well, that put them on

15
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 2: the front foot.

16
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 3: And we've stopped adding costs on businesses that push up

17
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 3: prices like the ute tax and the Auckland Regional fuel

18
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 3: tax and landlord taxes like interest seductibility and bright line.

19
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 3: We've also reduced economic bottlenecks, cut red tape by restoring

20
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 3: ninety day trials and abolishing mandatory union bargaining and fixing

21
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 3: the triple CFA and support of that fiscal discipline and

22
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 3: economic plan. Inflation is now tracking down fast, down to

23
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 3: three point three percent from seven point three percent, which

24
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: is the lowest in three years.

25
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 4: The cost of living crisis that New Zealand has endured

26
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 4: has been characterized by high inflation and high interest rates.

27
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 4: So today Marx an important milestone and beating both those beasts.

28
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 2: And the point that Nichola Willis made was that if

29
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: inflation wasn't coming down, then they would be blamed for it.

30
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 2: So you can't win sometimes, can you. You know? I

31
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 2: think they have set the scene when you think of

32
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: the inflation the way the way it was fueled by

33
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: excess borrowing and money being shelled out by the last

34
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: labor government.

35
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: Arry the boot camps are one as a fortnight and

36
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: one kidd is lead how much longer ago in the trunk? Oh?

37
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 2: I think it's three months? Yes, about three months? And

38
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: I thought the Children's Minister Karen Shaw was actually quite

39
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: wise today putting out a statement and admitting that one

40
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: had pulled out. And obviously this kid was causing trouble

41
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: for his fellow participants. They say that it was in

42
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 2: his best interests, his funnel's best interests, and the other participants. Now,

43
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: what does that tell you? Ready? Between that line that

44
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: is that he was obviously a stir and he is

45
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 2: better off our Exactly what I love is, though, is

46
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: what they have to get up to in the morning.

47
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 2: These young people, they have to they have a set

48
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 2: morning routine, starting with breakfast, shower and military style drills.

49
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: Daily hygiene routines such as ensuring their rooms are clean,

50
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 2: clothes are ironed, and taking pride in their present day.

51
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: I think it's fantastic.

52
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: How old are these kids seventeen around seventy?

53
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 2: Look, I remember being in police School at TRENTAM when

54
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: I was around the same age. We had the same

55
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 2: requirements on us. And I'll tell you what, if you

56
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: didn't do it, you get a swift boot up the back.

57
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: So you ever picked up an iron before you went

58
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: to police college?

59
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: Oh? Yes? Okay?

60
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: Well, I just think modern kids won't have.

61
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: Well, they probably don't know.

62
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 5: And it's not a reflection of whether they're naughty or not.

63
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 5: I just think that I just think we spoil a

64
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 5: little buggers. Now, speaking of which, we're going to start

65
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 5: the ironing tomorrow. Okay, So Luxeon's off to Australia tomorrow.

66
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: He has been over a few times now, isn't He.

67
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: Has been over, but this is his first official visit,

68
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 2: so you know, they make a big deal of this.

69
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: He'll on Friday go to Canberra after going to Sydney

70
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 2: tomorrow and he'll be talking a business essentially in Sydney

71
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: and then going off to have a chat with Albanzi,

72
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: who he says as an old friend. And of course

73
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: he will be speaking slowly and in mono big English.

74
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: I would imagine, although keeping it simple, should take a

75
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: sign language person over with him, although the accents might

76
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: get confused, as he did. But what I want and

77
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: as my bug bear, and of course it won't happen,

78
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: is the.

79
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: Thetas to stop. It's not going to happen.

80
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 2: Well, you know, since they've come how I was going

81
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 2: through the crimes that these people have committed, well over

82
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 2: three thousand now have come out of Australia, some of

83
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: them have no association with New Zealand just and seemed

84
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 2: to present it when she met with Scott Morrison as

85
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 2: though the situation was about to be basically made more humane.

86
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: But in fact they've tightened up and you've got that

87
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 2: fellow Peter Dutton He referred to the deportees you'll remember

88
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: as trade they are, Barry, well, some of them are.

89
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,559
Speaker 1: I don't want them either.

90
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: Well, no, we don't want them. But you know these people,

91
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 2: some of them went there is Can I get that many?

92
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: You can hardly? Like I tell you what if this

93
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: was news, if it was New Zealand, you'd be wanting

94
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: to toss on to No.

95
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: I think we have to. I think you have to

96
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 2: take some responsibility. Is like a parent taking some responsibility

97
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: for your children. These people were born and brought up,

98
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 2: or not born, but brought up in Australia and learned

99
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: all their bad time.

100
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: I'm glad you didn't become a cop because you would

101
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: have been a soft one. Actually, I've got a real champion.

102
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: I would have been the commissioner then.

103
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: Absolutely you and Andy. I've got a champion heading our way.

104
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: Five oh one d put I'll tell you about later, Barry.

105
