1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: You're trusted home for news, for its entertainments, opinion and 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: Mike the my Hosking breakfast with the range rover villa 3 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: designed to intrigue can use togs Head. 4 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 2: Being any welcome, you don't make any easier for the 5 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 2: traders to get on with the job. Ironically, we've also 6 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 2: got a new report into how hard it is to 7 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 2: make small business work, new stats on kids who don't 8 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 2: go to school and what ultimately they cost us. Politics Wednesday, 9 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 2: after rates the Price in Australia. Richard Arnold on the 10 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 2: trail in the States asking it is seven past six, 11 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 2: Welcome to the day. Kia Starmer's budget tonight. Of course 12 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:32,919 Speaker 2: he's got a lot on his plate. Hes just back 13 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 2: from Chogham, where too many people for his liking. We're 14 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 2: insisting on talking about slavery and how Britain knows literally 15 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 2: trillions of dollars. Britain doesn't have trillions of dollars, of course, 16 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 2: and opening that particular can of worms as a road 17 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 2: to fiscal ruin. If you think the White tanging process 18 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 2: has been tortuous for this country, you ain't seen nothing 19 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 2: yet on slavery. Even the King cognizant of what it 20 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 2: might mean if they go down this never ending track, said, 21 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 2: no one is capable of changing the past anyway. Not 22 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 2: just that for stuff, but also his lack of popularity. 23 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 2: It's been a long time since the prime minister has 24 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 2: won an election so spectacularly and squandered the honeymoon so quickly. 25 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 2: Part of his problem is the issue most labour governments 26 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 2: in Western democracies seem to have the line they walk 27 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 2: between what is perceived as a labor party and the 28 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 2: modern world. We've seen it here, we're seeing it in 29 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 2: Australia currently. Elbow is also famously unpopular. And in Britain, 30 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 2: where the budget will involve tax increases, labor parties love taxes. 31 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,919 Speaker 2: Except Starmer promised he wouldn't increase taxes for working people. 32 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 2: And then that lies the problem. What is a working person? 33 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 2: He can't and hasn't been able to define it historically. 34 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 2: Of course, it's a unionized grafter, a minor, a trucky, 35 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 2: someone who works in the steel mills, but those days 36 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 2: are largely gone. What it really is, but they can't say, 37 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 2: is a rich prick. Cullen famously said it here, of 38 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 2: course by a mistake, but that's who they're after. But 39 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 2: the problem with modern economies is working people can become 40 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,559 Speaker 2: rich pricks. Not every working person. In fact, increasingly few 41 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 2: are destined to a life of low wages. Modern democracies 42 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 2: allow many to start at the bottom and work their 43 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 2: way to the top. New Zealand, like Britain, like Australia, 44 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 2: is full of people with businesses and homes and badgers 45 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,399 Speaker 2: and god for bid European cars who've actually done quite 46 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 2: well for themselves. You would like to think that sort 47 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 2: of thing is encouraged, but that's the modern problem with 48 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 2: labour parties. They're stuck in the past and self made 49 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 2: success isn't celebrated. It's text. And we will see how 50 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 2: tortuous that path they tread is tonight in the UK. 51 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: Wow News of the World in ninety seconds, doing. 52 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 2: The pressures on the Chancellor, laying it on thick in 53 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 2: terms of how bad it is. 54 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 3: We inherited a twenty two billion pound black hole in 55 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 3: the public finances and we will set out the detail 56 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 3: of that at the budget tomorrow. But because of that 57 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 3: we've had to make very difficult choices. 58 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 2: By increasing texts they claim they can improve. 59 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 4: Health, there will be people waiting on trolley's in corridors 60 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 4: this winter. I can't turn that sit situation around that fast. 61 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 4: What I can say is that we are going into 62 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 4: this winter with NHS leaders able to prepare for winter 63 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:02,959 Speaker 4: rather than preparing for strikes. 64 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 2: In the US rights the Trump's back at Marilango making 65 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 2: some climes that may or may not be true. 66 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 5: The election itself is going very well. 67 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 6: We're leading. 68 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 5: I believe in all seven swim suits, so I appreciate 69 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 5: everybody's work. 70 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,239 Speaker 2: And the spirit is unbelievable. 71 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 5: I don't think there's ever been anything like in it. 72 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 2: Upper Michigan Leadiums have got problems with some boaters over 73 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 2: the war in the Middle East. 74 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 7: If I think mister Trump will do something for what's 75 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 7: going on in because Dan, probably I'll work for him. 76 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 8: I just don't like what Kamala Harris is doing right 77 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 8: now when it comes like Israel and Palestine. 78 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: I don't know if Trump is going to help so much, 79 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 2: but I know he's not going to support it the 80 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 2: wace he is.

Plenty of fall out from the Israelis 82 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 2: move on the UNID agency. 83 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 9: This decision brings down an agency, a UN agency that 84 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 9: has been leading to him in attended response, especially in 85 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 9: Gaza since the start of this current genocide and this Gaza. 86 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 2: But the israelis not short on accusations. 87 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 10: Every single terrorist that carried out the outrages which they 88 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 10: did on October the seventh, the rapes, the beheadings, the 89 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 10: burning of families, every single one of those people were 90 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 10: graduates of the UNRA education system. 91 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 2: Finally, news from the Art World twenty nineteen.

No money changed hands, but I 117 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 2: don't think they're friends. Fifteen pass six telling her good morning, 118 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 2: Very good morning, Mike Jobs, talk to me. How are 119 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 2: we going? 120 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, we mentioned the jobs market yesterday morning. 121 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 8: I mean I was talking about consumer confidence and I 122 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 8: speculated that consumer confidence may be affected by the weakening 123 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 8: jobs market. Now, yesterday Stats New Zealand released what is 124 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 8: called the Monthly Employment Indicator. 125 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 6: This gives us a measure called filled jobs. 126 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 8: We get the big official read on the labor market 127 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 8: next week there on the sixth and November. That's Household 128 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 8: Labor Force Survey, Labor Costs Index, Quarterly Employment Server, all 129 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 8: those surveys. The monthly employment indicator a bit different because 130 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 8: it comes from income tax. 131 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 6: Data, it's not a survey. 132 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 8: Now, employment by this measure was flat in September, so 133 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 8: the monthly change zero point zero percent, so it was 134 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 8: the same as the previous month. 135 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 6: Now, if I look at the. 136 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,119 Speaker 8: Annual change, we're now seeing a fall in the number 137 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 8: of filled jobs of zero point nine percent and in 138 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 8: number terms circer approximately twenty thousand fewer jobs than a 139 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 8: year ago. Now, recently we've seen a sort of a 140 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 8: trend of down revisions as data August was revised down. 141 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 8: So if that trend continues, that would put the September 142 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 8: number into the negative. Just looking at the breakdown, construction 143 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 8: sector over the year down five percent. Admin and support 144 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 8: series A work as that's down six point eight percent. 145 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 8: Healthcare is growing though. That's a little bright light in 146 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 8: the employment sector. And actually my last week I attended 147 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 8: a presentation by Australia's most celebrated celebrated statistician and demographer 148 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 8: He basically said, age care. That's going to be the 149 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 8: biggest job in Australia as time was honest, we age 150 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 8: Now we've got jobs number next week. We're expecting or 151 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 8: speculating once again that that employment rate could have a. 152 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 6: Five on it. So around the five number, right? 153 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 2: What about gold? 154 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 11: Hey? 155 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 2: When does that stop? 156 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 12: Oh? 157 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 6: Who would know? 158 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 8: I dutifully read out the gold price every morning. We 159 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 8: tend to and look like we tend to talk about shares, 160 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 8: we talk about the economy and interest rates. 161 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 6: In the last couple of years, the. 162 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 8: Investment market has seen a real rise in exposure to 163 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 8: what we call alternative assets, so everything that isn't cash. Shares, 164 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 8: bonds and commodities and precious metals are part of that 165 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 8: mix and this is really growing in terms of its 166 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 8: presence and investor portfolios. In terms of acidelic so gold. 167 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 8: There's been a very healthy rise in the price of gold. 168 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 8: Now the price convention we use as an ounce the 169 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 8: cost of announcing US dollars, so there's currency factor here at. 170 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 6: Play with you coming from New Zealand. 171 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 8: But this year the price has risen from two thousand 172 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 8: and sixty three US dollars at the beginning of there 173 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 8: to two thousand, seven hundred and sixty four dollars. That's 174 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 8: a thirty four percent rise, so a very healthy move 175 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 8: so far this year in the price of goals. So 176 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 8: what's kind of happening? Because gold doesn't really have a U. 177 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 8: I mean, you're using jewelry some industrial applications. The key 178 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 8: feature of those that's seen is a store of value, 179 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 8: a hedge against uncertainty and inflation, So a store of 180 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,599 Speaker 8: value at uncertain times. Right now, we've got significant uncertainty 181 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 8: in terms of the fiscal sense, because governments around. 182 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:45,959 Speaker 6: The world are spending a heck of a lot of money. 183 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 8: Not here, but I think the US, you've got economic uncertainty, 184 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 8: you've got geopolitical uncertainty. So one of the key supports 185 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 8: this year, Mike, has been central banks buying gold. Central 186 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 8: banks are building up their stock, and in particular the 187 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 8: big player you probably already know this, it's the Chinese 188 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 8: Central Bank. The Chinese Central Bank is being villain it. 189 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 8: So it sort of plays about these concerns about what 190 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 8: we call fiat currencies, so the real currencies that we use, 191 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 8: and a potentially reflects an underlying concern about the ongoing 192 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 8: reserve currency status of the US dollars, so we measure 193 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 8: everything in US dollars. 194 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 6: Is they are borrowing so much money, they're running that. 195 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 8: Such a big physical deficit that if that was to 196 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 8: continue unchecked over time, it potentially leads to a debt 197 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 8: spiral for the US. So it's you know, looking out 198 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 8: a long way in the future. So they're buying a 199 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 8: lot of gold. I think Poland's in there as well. 200 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 8: I'm not sure why Poland's are buying gold. And plus 201 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 8: you're seeing this run into the retail side as well. 202 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 8: I think you can go into Costco. You can buy 203 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,719 Speaker 8: gold bars in Costco, and there've been a run on them. 204 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 8: They can't keep up with them. 205 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 6: And of course you can only they're doing platinum. You 206 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 6: can do platinum as well as gold. Go to Costco 207 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 6: get your platinum ritten. 208 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 2: Now, what are the numbers? 209 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 8: So the Dow Jones US, Yeah, I said a consumer 210 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 8: commondents through the roof. But job starter was a bit 211 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 8: bit weak, what they called alt starter, so a bit 212 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 8: sort of bit each way there. The Dow Jones forty 213 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 8: two thousand, three hundred and thirty seven is down fifty points. 214 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 8: The sm P five hundred five eight four three.

I might I might have something to 246 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 2: say about that in just a second. But he also 247 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 2: made this claim. 248 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 5: He didn't know too much about what was happening. Maybe 249 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 5: that was exposed during the debate, and yet still the 250 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 5: way they took that away from him was not. 251 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 2: Was not right. 252 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 5: It was it ray should it happened that they walked 253 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 5: in they said we're taking it away. 254 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 6: They took it. 255 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 5: They stilled the presidency of the United States. You can 256 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 5: call it a coup, you can call it whatever. But 257 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 5: they stole they went in like taking candy from a 258 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 5: baby's to Biden. 259 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 2: He also claimed that he's leading in all the early 260 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 2: voting turns out, apparently, according to the University of Florida 261 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 2: Election lab not to be true. Early voting data shows 262 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 2: more Democrats than Republicans are voting in advance. There are 263 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 2: more registered Republicans voting early in Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina 264 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 2: than there are Democrats. But the surgeon Republicans casting their 265 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 2: ballots in the swing states could be a sign of 266 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 2: a boost for Trump. That's the upside. Or it may 267 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 2: simply mean that people who used to vote on election 268 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 2: day are showing up earlier than usual.

But 323 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 2: if the polls nationally are wrong, but they're right in 324 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 2: the Swing States versus being wrong in the Swing States 325 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 2: and right nationally, you just don't know where you end up. 326 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 2: So in other words, no one's got a clue.

They've 344 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 2: got a thing called Reducing Compliance Burden Report and the 345 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 2: CEO Catherine Riches with us on this Catherine Morning to you. 346 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 15: Good morning. 347 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 2: It was an association with the Business Innovation Employment People. 348 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 2: In other words, the government do the government want to help? 349 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 2: Because god knows how many interviews are done over the 350 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 2: years on small businesses who known about red tape? 351 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 15: Yes, I think they do, and that's why this work 352 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 15: has created a really practical shopping list of changes that 353 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 15: can be made that can start helping small business almost immediately. 354 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 15: The report was excellent because businesses were very clear about 355 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 15: what their pain points were. They listed out a lot 356 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 15: of the issues. Some were new, some were not so new, 357 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 15: But with a Minister of Regulation, the Minister of Commerce 358 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 15: and Nicole McKee coming out, they're really clear they want 359 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 15: to make some changes. 360 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 2: Good how ideologically driven is all of this? In other words, 361 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 2: this government might want to help, but the next one 362 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 2: might not. 363 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 15: Look a lot of the ideas on the list are 364 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 15: very practical because a lot of the debate about small 365 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 15: business ends up making vague, vague statements about we want 366 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 15: to cut red tape, but you've got to get into 367 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 15: the specifics about what you're actually going to do. So 368 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 15: this is a list of things that could make big 369 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 15: changes not such to small business generally, but to entire sectors. 370 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 15: For example, our hairdressers and barbers have been much ignored 371 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 15: throughout the last fifty years or so. Many of their 372 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 15: regulations date back to the Keith Holyoake's time. Now that's 373 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 15: a one point four billion dollar sector and we get 374 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 15: modern regulations for them. That could speed up an entire sector. 375 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 15: But it's a lot of other things, from employment agreements, 376 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 15: food control plants. An early childhood center has to get 377 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 15: a consultant and more or less to spend thousands of 378 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 15: dollars to help them serve sandwiches and cut apple. 379 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 2: The scale of do we all come from the same place? 380 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 2: When you gather all the people in the room, do 381 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 2: we all go yep? Actually, you're right. It's too convoluted. 382 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 2: So we're starting with the right intent. 383 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 15: We start with the right intent, But often policymakers make 384 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 15: things overly complicated because they're thinking about the big guys, 385 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 15: not how it's going to be aplemented by small business. 386 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 15: I mean things like the anti money launching rules. They 387 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 15: had good intensions, but it's ended up being a convoluted 388 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 15: process where you're having to prove who you are and 389 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 15: where you live almost every three months. 390 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 2: That's absurd. The interesting thing I don't know if you 391 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 2: caught up with, was a story floating around yesterday about immigration, 392 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 2: which ties in with small business. You know, still trying 393 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 2: to get somebody into the country, still trying to get 394 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,199 Speaker 2: a visa, it's too long. How much variability within the 395 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 2: government is therefore any given small business. In other words, 396 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 2: you can ring a department who's quite good in other 397 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 2: department are completely useless. 398 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 15: Yeah, there is a lot of variability, and small business 399 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,439 Speaker 15: just wants clarity. They just want to be able to 400 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 15: look things up and get a clear idea of what 401 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 15: they are supposed to do. And that's why one of 402 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 15: the suggestions was that all government departments should look at 403 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 15: things through the lens of the small business in terms 404 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 15: of the way they explained things. Immigration is a good example, 405 00:19:55,280 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 15: but equally employment issues, holidays at issues, fringe benefit tex 406 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 15: is a very good example. No, hardly anyone has some 407 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 15: more small business understands that. 408 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 2: All right, nice to talk to you, Catherine, and I 409 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 2: wish you nothing but the very best in getting this 410 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 2: sorted out. Katherine Rich's the Business in New Zealand CEO 411 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 2: eleven weeks. I'll come back to this later at the 412 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 2: visas on immigration eleven weeks for employer accreditation, twelve weeks 413 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 2: for a job check, four months for a work visa. 414 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 2: I'm not proud of that in any way. Now, who 415 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 2: said that. I'm not proud of that in any way? 416 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 2: Who said that? The person in charge? 417 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 1: Eighteen to two the Mic Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast 418 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio powered by News talksp. 419 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 2: Now, this is exciting. We've all been stuck in the 420 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 2: middle of no where, no phone signal at some point, 421 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 2: and it's incredibly frustrating. Obviously not overly surprising, though, given 422 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 2: forty percent of this country's land mass doesn't have cell 423 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 2: phone coverage. But that here's the good news is about 424 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 2: to change because One New Zealand is bringing satellite to 425 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,399 Speaker 2: mobile technology to this country. So soon One New Zealand 426 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 2: customers with an eligible phone and mobile plan are going 427 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 2: to be able to send a text message from anywhere, 428 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 2: literally anywhere, as long as you can see the sky. 429 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 2: The service is going to give agricultural forestry workers, anyone 430 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 2: heading into our national parks are vital link to the 431 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 2: outside world in an emergency.

Some forty thousand people are expected, as she 452 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 17: will ask hervebackers to turn the page on the Trump 453 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 17: Europe while Trump is trying to get over his own 454 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 17: big rally, the one at Madison Square Garden in New York. 455 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 17: This square where he might have botched his own campaign finale. 456 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 17: As you've been saying, the selection is so close it 457 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 17: to all come bound to the battle down state of Pennsylvania. 458 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 17: That is certainly a possibility, and that is a place 459 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 17: where there are nearly half a million people of Puerto 460 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 17: rican To said, that's why the joke at the Trump 461 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 17: event by comedian Tony Hinchcliff, who often does those celebrity 462 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 17: race went down pretty flat when he called Puerto Rico 463 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 17: a floating island of garbage. There is a huge ongoing 464 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 17: backlash to this. The Democrats VP picked Tim Walls saying 465 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 17: this was not just a racist dog whistle, more like 466 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 17: a siren. Kamala Harris says this is more of the 467 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 17: same and maybe more vivid than usual. Donald Trump spends 468 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 17: full time trying. 469 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 7: To have Americans point they finger at each other. 470 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 18: Fans the fuel of. 471 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 7: The hate and division, and that's why people are exhausted 472 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 7: with kem Well. 473 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 17: The Trump rally joke was slammed by Bad Bunny and 474 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 17: Rookie Martin, as well as Jennifer Lopez, with a combined 475 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 17: social media following of three hundred and fourteen million people. 476 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 17: Good idea to insult folks and ask with their votes. 477 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 12: Maybe not. 478 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 17: Congressman Richie Torres says he is inclined to call the 479 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 17: comedian racist garbage, but adds to do so would be 480 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 17: an insult the garbage. Now we find the Trump aides 481 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 17: cut one joke from Hinchcliff's script. He planned to call 482 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 17: Harris the Sea Wood. They scratched that at the last moment, 483 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 17: but they knew the tone of things meantime. You had 484 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 17: some of the crazy nonsense from the rally yesterday. But 485 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 17: if not, I think is Elon musk He has palmed 486 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 17: around two hundred million dollars in New Zealand to a 487 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 17: Trump supporting pack. In US history, people like of Hearst 488 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 17: back in the day and Rockefeller, Carnegie, JP Morgan tried 489 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 17: to buy the US presidency. But musk Is is pretty 490 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 17: high on it. And here is a clip from the 491 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 17: world's richest man waving his arms around for Trump the future. 492 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 2: It's gonna be amazing. 493 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 6: You guys are awesome Honestly, this. 494 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 8: Is like USA USA, USA, usaid. 495 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 17: What yes, so elon pretending to be Tarzan. 496 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 2: Then we come to started out with the La Times. 497 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 2: Now we've moved to the Washington Post. 498 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 17: Yes, an Amazon boss, Jiff Bezos, is trying to halt 499 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 17: the bleeding after he stepped into quash an endorsement of 500 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 17: Kamala Harris by the Post. Bezos pulling the endorsement at 501 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 17: the very last moment, and that timing is a key 502 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 17: part of the criticism he's getting for the move. The 503 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 17: La Times, is you note also held back from endorsing 504 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 17: anyone this time around owned by another billionaire. But in 505 00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 17: the case of the Post, some two hundred thousand p 506 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 17: people have pulled their Washington Post subscriptions in protests. That 507 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 17: seems to be a lot of readers. Some editorial staff 508 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 17: also have quit, so the Post is dealing with a 509 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 17: real ongoing crisis over this. Dave Jorgensen, the Post self 510 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 17: described TikToker, issued this little video over a supposed Jeff 511 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 17: Bezos interview. 512 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 19: Well, as you may know, I'm not a billionaire, yes, 513 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 19: and many of us billionaires own multiple companies. Yeah, we 514 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 19: know you own the Washington Post and Blue origin, which 515 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 19: happens to have billions of dollars in cloud computing contracts 516 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 19: with the federal government. So you're worried about retribution if 517 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 19: Trump would I didn't say that. 518 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 2: Enough said so yes, sir, mate, appreciate it. Richard arnld State. So, 519 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 2: by the way, later at polling has Harris. Currently this 520 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 2: is a polar pulse. Currently she leads in battleground states 521 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 2: worth forty one electoral College votes, twenty seven Trump is 522 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 2: in charge of, and the rest twenty six are effectively tied. 523 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 2: If you want to go to the betting market, Betfair 524 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 2: have gone and summarized bookmakers' predictions using live data and 525 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 2: the betting markets themselves. They have ever been so confident 526 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 2: in a Trump victory. So in sixteen Trump defined everybody 527 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 2: gave him only a twenty six percent chance of winning. 528 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 2: He did win. In twenty twenty gave him thirty four 529 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 2: percent chances of beating Biden, he didn't. This time around, 530 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 2: they've got him this morning sixty two percent chance of winning. 531 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 2: So if you put weight on, follow the money, he's 532 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 2: in nine away from seven on. 533 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: My costal breakfast with the Range River Villa news talks 534 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: that had been. 535 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 2: Before we leave the States. I note that they've cut 536 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 2: a deal in Baltimore. Remember the ship ran into the 537 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 2: bridge in Baltimore. The owners of that ship that crashed 538 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 2: its Francis Scott Key Bridge, they've been ordered to pay 539 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 2: one hundred million dollars the Gray Ocean Private Limited and 540 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 2: Synergy Marine Private Limited. There the companies that owned the Daly. 541 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 2: And so they've cut a deal at last. And that 542 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 2: seems who have been sorted once and for all six 543 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 2: away from seven. 544 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: Well, the ins and the outs. It's the fizz with 545 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: business fiber take your business productivity to the next level. 546 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 2: Speaking of cars, speaking of America, a leading car brand 547 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 2: in the US, economist say, if you look at the 548 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 2: leading car brand in the US, they sort of you 549 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 2: get an indication as to how people are feeling about 550 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 2: the overall economy. So Ford is your brand. They've got 551 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 2: the best selling truck, have had the best selling truck 552 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 2: of the last forty two years, the F one fifty. Anyway, 553 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 2: Q three, what do we got? They brought in just 554 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 2: over forty six billion in revenue, which was higher than 555 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 2: the forty one point nine billion the street expected. That's 556 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 2: despite the fact that they had to find a couple 557 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 2: of billion in cost cuts and have continued to pay 558 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 2: hundreds of millions in warranty costs that cause them to 559 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 2: miss earnings and expectations back in Q two. So what's 560 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 2: that mean? That turns into nine hundred million dollars of 561 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 2: net income. Q three are led by their new pro 562 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 2: commercial and fleet businesses Ford Blue earned one point six 563 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 2: three billion. Whether they lose some money, I wonder where 564 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 2: they lost some money? Modelly that unit lost one point 565 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 2: and what's the E stand for? I hear you ask 566 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,679 Speaker 2: not energy electric? That unit lost one point two to 567 00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 2: two billion during the quarter. Is that bad? 568 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 6: Yes, it is. 569 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 2: They lost a little bit less than they lost a 570 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 2: year ago. But that's because basically they didn't sell as 571 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 2: many cars. So if you don't sell as many cars, 572 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 2: you don't bring any money. Just how that works. As 573 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 2: reading internationally, this morning end of the Road for electric 574 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 2: cars shocking chart reveals how EV sales have slumped. This 575 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 2: is globally. They're citing Tesla quarterly sales from four eighty 576 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 2: four thousand down to three eighty six thousand. Byd Their 577 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 2: global EV sales have crashed. First quarter sold three hundred thousand, 578 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 2: down from five hundred and twenty six thousand in the 579 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 2: last quarter of last year. I mean that's quite the four, 580 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 2: isn't from five to twenty six thousand down to three 581 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 2: hundred thousand, and then even Volkswagen. Volkswagen, they're a story 582 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 2: to follow because they're a major, major player in the 583 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 2: European car market, not to mention the EV market is 584 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 2: a story in and of itself. Volkswagen are now looking 585 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 2: at closing factories in Germany and of course that'll have 586 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,959 Speaker 2: a material effect on the German economy. They're looking at 587 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 2: laying off workers. So they sold two andred thirty nine 588 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 2: five hundred evs and Q four of twenty twenty three, 589 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 2: and that's gone down the following quarter to one hundred 590 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 2: and thirty six So from two thirty nine down to 591 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty six thousand, So they are really struggling. 592 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 2: They've done some research into all of this. It's the 593 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 2: usual thing that reduced incentives all over the world that 594 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 2: you don't get the incentives used to get and the 595 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 2: uncertainty about resale value, and given the resale value is 596 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 2: not particularly good, people go, why would I bother? UK 597 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 2: government's going to ban the engines they're going to have 598 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 2: to review that by twenty thirty. Currently in the UK, 599 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 2: for example, only three point seventy five percent of newcow 600 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 2: sales the EV. So the EV market is a troubled 601 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 2: one building houses. Speaking of trouble, can we make it easier? 602 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 2: Let's have a look at the new rules in just 603 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 2: a couple of moments. 604 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: The Breakfast Show You Can Trust, the mic Hosking Breakfast 605 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: with a Vita Retirement Communities, Life Your Way News TOGS DBS. 606 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 2: Seven past seven. So has some common sense arrived at 607 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 2: a building site near you? On average takes almost nineteen 608 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 2: months to get a house build and consented. So come 609 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 2: on in self certification. Some tradees will be able to 610 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 2: sort jobs for themselves. Builders at scale will have life 611 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 2: made easier. 612 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 14: GJ. 613 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 2: Gardener, General Manager Oli Sunstrom is with us Oli morning, 614 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 2: Good morning, Mike.

Yeah, I'd like to you know, behlf of 617 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 7: our business. Congratulate the current government for taking this first 618 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 7: step and making what we seem to be a common 619 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 7: sense prevails piece of legislation priority. 620 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 2: Do you see risk in it or not? 621 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 20: Oh? 622 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 7: Look, I think you know, there's there's certainly risk that 623 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 7: it needs to be calculative risk, and really that where 624 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 7: the measures that are set up and put in place 625 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 7: to manage the process, to manage the criteria needs to 626 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 7: be needs to be strict and visible. 627 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 2: So what is it what they're saying about a company 628 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 2: like yours? As you build some of the homes all 629 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 2: the time, therefore, I've seen one, I've seen them all. 630 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 2: Is it about that, in other words, of you do 631 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,719 Speaker 2: the same thing over and over again? Or is it 632 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 2: about you being good people who can manage yourself anyway 633 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 2: no matter what you build. 634 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 14: Oh? 635 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 7: Look, you know, certainly we consider ourselves to be good people, 636 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 7: no doubt about that. But really it comes down to 637 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 7: our build performance and what we delivered to our customers. 638 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 11: You know. 639 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 7: Might we have a very much approven track record in 640 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 7: this country and in this market. We've delivered right across 641 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 7: our national network over twenty three thousand homes to Kiwis 642 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 7: with every home that we've started completed, which says a 643 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 7: lot about our track record and the strict disciplines we use. 644 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 7: We're building track customers. 645 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 2: How much of what you do you just stand there 646 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 2: and literally say, this is a waste of time in 647 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 2: terms of paperwork and compliance. 648 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,479 Speaker 7: Oh look, you know, there's no doubt that you know, 649 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 7: a lot of the bureaucracy and red tape that's involved 650 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 7: in some of these processes that we're talking about slows 651 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 7: this down fairly significantly, you know, and it's difficult when 652 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 7: you can't control some of those things. So yeah, look, 653 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 7: it certainly has an impact. And we believe that, you know, 654 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 7: with this proposed piece of legislation from from the current government, 655 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 7: that we can really you know, speed up the process 656 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 7: as it stands. 657 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 2: What's the key benefit? Is it speed or is it 658 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 2: savings for the person buying the house? 659 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 11: Oh? 660 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 7: I think it's both, you know, you know, to give 661 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 7: you an idea, you know, pre but the red tape 662 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 7: challenges that we're talking about. We could build and hand 663 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 7: over a two hundred square meter home from one of 664 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 7: our concept plans. You know, I'm talking three bedroom, two bathroom. 665 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 7: We could deliver that home and you know circle forteen 666 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 7: fifteen weeks. You know, the delays we are talking about 667 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 7: can add forty to fifty percent of that time frame. So, 668 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 7: you know, with the right criteria, and it needs to 669 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 7: be the right criteria, you know, for builders such as 670 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 7: ourselves with a proven track record, you know, you know, 671 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 7: I don't see why we can't get back to these 672 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 7: time frames because it's the stairs product and material and 673 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 7: labor supply and not an issue. 674 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 2: Good on you, Mully, go well with it. Appreciate Olie Sunstrom, 675 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 2: who's with GJ. Gardner's Kieren mcinnaughty. I don't know why 676 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 2: he's the acting, but he's the acting in this particular portfolio. 677 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 2: And I not happens to be on the program updre 678 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 2: eight o'clock. He seems to be behind it as well. 679 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 2: So common sense might well win the day ten minutes 680 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 2: past seven passing, but not everyone's thrilled. So what are 681 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 2: the risks here of the New Zealand Institute of Building Survey, 682 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 2: As President Dave Clifton's with us, David morning, Yeah, good boy, Mike, 683 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,479 Speaker 2: you for having it on in no worries at all. 684 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 2: Are you up against it in the sense that everyone's 685 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 2: just going to go, thank God for the some sick 686 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 2: of paperwork, let's get on with it, and you're going 687 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 2: to You've got a fairly tough old road a ho 688 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 2: here In terms of red flags. 689 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 20: I think it's a case of we've got the devil's 690 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 20: in the detail and the other simplification that's come out 691 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 20: might be the issue. I mean, we've got to look 692 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 20: at the key issues here is that you know, the 693 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 20: talk of the consent very expensive and time consuming, and 694 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 20: they can be, but they also provide the consumer protection 695 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 20: that we need in the industry and in the construction sector. 696 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,839 Speaker 20: And they provide the trust levels that consumers need that 697 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 20: things are being done properly. And I think when you 698 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 20: look at there are lots of really really good builders 699 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 20: out there, and there's some that aren't so good. And 700 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 20: I think we still have an issue of a high 701 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 20: failure rate of inspections within the industry. And we do 702 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,280 Speaker 20: need to make sure that our education processes for builders 703 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,879 Speaker 20: and consultants is up to scratch and that our sort 704 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 20: of continued professional development is there as well. I think 705 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 20: those are really important factors that need to be worked 706 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 20: on first before we start doing self certification. I think 707 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 20: it's something that we can work towards, but I think 708 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,279 Speaker 20: it's something that we've got to work towards, not just 709 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 20: start doing. I think also there's mention of the professional 710 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 20: dentity insurance as far as we're aware that's not really 711 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 20: a perfe indemptory insurance market for this in New Zealand. Great, well, 712 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,800 Speaker 20: it will be created potentially, but it's at the moment 713 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 20: it's it's not there, and it takes a lot to 714 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 20: trade a new market in this sort of space. Professional 715 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 20: indemnity insurance like we hold as redistive building surveyors is 716 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 20: as a as a high threshold, high cost element and 717 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 20: backed by international markets and the like. A large scale 718 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 20: design and build contracts have them, and they're they're expensive policies. 719 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 2: That Sparky they still sertify. 720 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 20: Yeah, I think, but when you look at the failure 721 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 20: rates that we see from those in that in that sector. 722 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:44,840 Speaker 2: Specifically spark in my life, No. 723 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,839 Speaker 20: But the failure rates for those those people is incredibly low. 724 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 20: So Sparky's failure rates on inspections and also I think 725 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 20: it's very very low, whereas in general construction and we 726 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 20: still have very high rates of failure of inspections. And 727 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,160 Speaker 20: that is the key for fundamental here. We have to 728 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 20: make sure that we're getting it right first before we 729 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,720 Speaker 20: can go off and do it by our Would. 730 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 2: You be convinced once we actually see the legislation and 731 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 2: what's going to get passed by way of law. Could 732 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 2: you be convinced that they're onto it, they know what 733 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,440 Speaker 2: they're doing, and we could actually be improving things or not. 734 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 20: Oh yeah, I think Look, it's all devi al of 735 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 20: the detail here, and it's all about just getting our 736 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 20: baselines and our foundations right, education, getting our inspection processes right, 737 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,840 Speaker 20: getting our build processes right. If those things are created 738 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,880 Speaker 20: in the right space, in the right way, and built 739 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 20: on then these things can happen. And you know, they'll 740 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,720 Speaker 20: still need to be random inspections and audits and checks 741 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 20: to make sure that everybody is still playing by the 742 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 20: same rules and there aren't corder's cut and we don't 743 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,240 Speaker 20: end up where we were twenty years ago exactly. 744 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 2: David, appreciate it very much. David Clifton, New Zealand Institute 745 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 2: of Building Survey as fourteen minutes past seven. Yet quickly, 746 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,399 Speaker 2: while I'm on housing, the rental prices for the month 747 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,479 Speaker 2: rout we've hit an eight month low median price around 748 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 2: the country six thirty. It's down ten bucks of one 749 00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 2: point six percent. Biggest decreases Marlborough down to their bucks, 750 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 2: Canterbury down twenty five Hawk's Bay down to six hundred 751 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 2: and ten bucks, down to six hundred and forty. Places that 752 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 2: have gone up Northland, Nelson, Tasman, Southland. But mind you 753 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 2: and south And you're still only paying an average of 754 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 2: four hundred and seventy five dollars a week, so it's 755 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 2: not the end of the world. 756 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 1: Fourteen past the Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on 757 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio powered by News Talks at b. 758 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 2: Right oh, seventeen past seven.

So how good 762 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 2: are they and what's it doing to the value of 763 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 2: the real thing if you've got the real thing? Holland 764 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,240 Speaker 2: co owner Greg Hollins, Well, it's Greg Morning, Good morning White. 765 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,399 Speaker 2: Correct me if I'm wrong, But I think lab grind 766 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,920 Speaker 2: has been around for years, haven't They's just have they 767 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,840 Speaker 2: suddenly improved in quality? Heints, we're all excited about them. 768 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 13: Yes, Look, there actually nothing new about lab grown. Back 769 00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:55,759 Speaker 13: in the fifties, General Electric managed to figure out how 770 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,399 Speaker 13: to create a labor and diamond. 771 00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,839 Speaker 2: Right between you like, can I tell the difference between 772 00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:01,759 Speaker 2: a one and a lab DROWND nowadays or not? 773 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 14: No? 774 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,759 Speaker 13: The short answer is no, unless you're a gymologist and 775 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 13: you've got a magnification. 776 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:08,319 Speaker 11: You can see growth. 777 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 13: Lines and a lab grown diamond, but you need pretty 778 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 13: pretty intense magnification to see that. So no, to the 779 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 13: naked eye, you can't see the. 780 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 2: Difference high quality one carrot real versus one carrot man made. 781 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 2: What's the price difference? 782 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 13: Oh, it's significant, it's roughly half. 783 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:25,279 Speaker 2: So why would I buy real? 784 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,760 Speaker 13: Well exactly, But I would say that they're not everyone's 785 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 13: cup of tea. I mean, I've got customers that will 786 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,120 Speaker 13: just absolutely don't want to even to look at a 787 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 13: lab grown for whatever reason. 788 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 2: That might be, and others, I mean that's about snobbery. 789 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 13: Yeah, potentially, yep, But no, there's no doubt about it. 790 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 13: They are an increasing trend and are they here to stay? 791 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 13: And lab grown diamonds are definitely an option for a 792 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,320 Speaker 13: customer looking for anegagement rings. 793 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,799 Speaker 2: I have followed this for a couple of years internationally. 794 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 2: The price of the real stuff, when you're dealing with 795 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:55,919 Speaker 2: the VS and all those sort of people, The price 796 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,799 Speaker 2: of the real stuff has come down because of all this, 797 00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:58,279 Speaker 2: hasn't it? 798 00:38:58,560 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 11: Yes? It has? 799 00:38:59,160 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 14: Yeah? 800 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 11: Absolutely, Yeah. 801 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,759 Speaker 2: So how come because a diamond is a diamond is 802 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 2: a diamond, and that hasn't changed other than people's perceptions. 803 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 2: So it's the perceptions that's the price, that's all it is. 804 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 13: Yeah, and the supply obviously to the lab growns, you know, 805 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,360 Speaker 13: and we're seeing huge amount of supply coming through, so 806 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 13: the price of labrons has dropped as well. 807 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 2: Do people have a stigma when they come in and 808 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 2: go I'd like to when you're standing there with your 809 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 2: bride to be and they go, I'd like a real 810 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 2: one echo like lab ground?

Kind of odd. I thought that 860 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 2: it took Jeff Bezos to explain what I would have 861 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 2: thought was the bleeding obvious. So there is as if 862 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,680 Speaker 2: you were listening to Richard Arnold earlier A two do 863 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,279 Speaker 2: in the US election among the elites over a couple 864 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 2: of newspapers not endorsing a candidate. Now, this is a 865 00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,719 Speaker 2: very American thing. We don't do it here, Thank god, 866 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:00,960 Speaker 2: we're very wise not to. It started with the Los 867 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,160 Speaker 2: Angeles Times, who decided no endorsement would be made. This 868 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,279 Speaker 2: led to one of the editorial board quitting and a 869 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,759 Speaker 2: lot of whining. Then came the Washington Post. This is 870 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 2: the paper Bezos owns. The editor said it was their 871 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,399 Speaker 2: call not to endorse. This was disputed. Several board members walked, 872 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,799 Speaker 2: and allegedly a couple one hundred thousand subscribers as of 873 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,840 Speaker 2: yesterday quit the paper, and a Beezos who wrote a 874 00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,160 Speaker 2: couple of self explanatory things. Firstly, he wished that no 875 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,319 Speaker 2: endorsement move had come earlier, not in the heat of 876 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 2: the battle. He then pointed out, quite correctly, not a 877 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:32,520 Speaker 2: single undecided voter ever anywhere had their mind made up 878 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,800 Speaker 2: by a newspaper. And then, most importantly of all, he suggested, 879 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,520 Speaker 2: once again quite correctly, the media is not trusted by 880 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,440 Speaker 2: the American public, and wandering around pretending to be neutral 881 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 2: while endorsing people is not going to help their reputation. 882 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,399 Speaker 2: Not surprisingly, both papers were going to endorse Harris, of course, 883 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,840 Speaker 2: and whether from a point of view of true balance 884 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,560 Speaker 2: or not, a media already seemed to be hopelessly left 885 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 2: leaning and in the Democrats pocket was not going to 886 00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 2: tilt the balance their way by further enhancing the reputation 887 00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,319 Speaker 2: as anti Trump. The endorsement business comes, of course from 888 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,760 Speaker 2: a different age, an age when paper is actually matted. 889 00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,280 Speaker 2: Some still do, but not many, and as the media 890 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,360 Speaker 2: is diluted, it matters less and less. The problem with 891 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,600 Speaker 2: the problem, of course, is those in the middle of 892 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 2: it still clearly suffer from another age old problem of 893 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 2: the media. Too many take themselves too seriously. I bet 894 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,480 Speaker 2: many of them actually believe that people don't make up 895 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,759 Speaker 2: their mind until they're told to. Many of them will 896 00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,680 Speaker 2: think an endorsement swings the race or moves the needle. 897 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 2: Many of them will think that Abezos as owner really 898 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:36,280 Speaker 2: doesn't get to make the calls when guess what he does. 899 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:40,240 Speaker 2: The upside might just be that a tired old habit 900 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:44,840 Speaker 2: ie endorsement by newspaper might just have died in the 901 00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:48,600 Speaker 2: race of twenty four faskingm Ike spent several years in 902 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,319 Speaker 2: the diamond industry. Blood diamonds were an hour, a complete myth. 903 00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,480 Speaker 2: The concept was created by the Bees after they bought 904 00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,120 Speaker 2: billions of them from rebels in various African civil wars. 905 00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,440 Speaker 2: Once the diamonds, you can't tell where it's from. Its 906 00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,880 Speaker 2: great industry built entirely on marketing, So good luck to 907 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,000 Speaker 2: lab grown guys, Mike. The issues with the building inspectors 908 00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,239 Speaker 2: is that they and the counsels they work for are 909 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,680 Speaker 2: so risk averse, and every inspector has their own view 910 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:12,040 Speaker 2: and opinion. Couldn't agree more with you. I speak from 911 00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:15,360 Speaker 2: personal experience that depending on who you get on what 912 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 2: given day, and whether or not they're a nice person 913 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:22,840 Speaker 2: or not a nice person or a pedantic pratt, depends 914 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,720 Speaker 2: on what the outcome is. Mike. My wife has recently 915 00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,920 Speaker 2: bought a three carrot grind diamond, which cost her about 916 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,160 Speaker 2: six thousand compared to sixty thousand for the real thing. 917 00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 2: She's also sold to real diamonds. I think it's an 918 00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,840 Speaker 2: ethical thing to do. Well if you sell them to somebody, 919 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,880 Speaker 2: what's ethical about that? The diamond still exists. No one saved. 920 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:41,960 Speaker 2: You haven't saved anybody because of it. Somebody else that's 921 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,319 Speaker 2: just got a nice diamond do they shine the same, 922 00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,600 Speaker 2: Yes they do. We all know what diamond Katie's got. Now, no, 923 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:51,000 Speaker 2: you don't. Diamond that Katie wears is real diamond because 924 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,360 Speaker 2: my love for Katie is real, real love, real diamonds, 925 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,640 Speaker 2: so how Mike sees it. And you're never going to 926 00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:58,480 Speaker 2: be able to afford a diamond if you don't go 927 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,040 Speaker 2: to school kids. So anyway, we'll talk about this in 928 00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,480 Speaker 2: just a couple of moments. The Er and Ruth Shanoda 929 00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,960 Speaker 2: is back with us and good news from Rugby. There 930 00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,520 Speaker 2: are more people playing, The registrations are up, so what's 931 00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:10,320 Speaker 2: going on there? 932 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,000 Speaker 14: What big news? 933 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:18,200 Speaker 1: Bold opinions the mic Hosking breakfast with the range rovervillare 934 00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 1: designed to intrigue and use TOGSB. 935 00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,799 Speaker 2: The Australians have got their first COVID report out and 936 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:30,680 Speaker 2: the findings are stark and worrying and probably importantly for us, 937 00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,239 Speaker 2: I doubt they will be anything different to what we 938 00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,360 Speaker 2: would have come up with, it says and I quote. 939 00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:39,799 Speaker 2: The most disturbing finding from the year long COVID inquiry 940 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,560 Speaker 2: is trust among the Australian community has been eroded. So 941 00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:44,960 Speaker 2: I'll have more for you in just a couple of 942 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:48,399 Speaker 2: moments on that twenty three to eight Politics Wednesday, Curre 943 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,200 Speaker 2: Macinaty and Virginny and Mark Mitchell did the business upright 944 00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:51,520 Speaker 2: for you? 945 00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:51,799 Speaker 10: Now. 946 00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:53,799 Speaker 2: Meantime, we've got a new look at the ongoing mess 947 00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:57,160 Speaker 2: that is school absinceaism by the age of twenty. The 948 00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:01,120 Speaker 2: er the Education Review Officers claims chronically absence students cost 949 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,920 Speaker 2: the state three times as much as those going to school. 950 00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,279 Speaker 2: That stuff you would expect the cost in crime and 951 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:08,239 Speaker 2: social housing, all that sort of thing. So last two 952 00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:12,480 Speaker 2: eighty thousand students were chronically absent. That's missing three weeks 953 00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,280 Speaker 2: in a term. At the head of Bro's education evaluation 954 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,319 Speaker 2: see to Ruth Jerodisbeck. Well, this is Ruth, very good 955 00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,520 Speaker 2: morning to you. Good morning you depressed about this. 956 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,520 Speaker 18: Very We think we've got a chronic absence crisis. Has 957 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:26,719 Speaker 18: bought the number of students of chonic absence in the 958 00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,880 Speaker 18: last decade and actually nearly trickled in primary school. 959 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 2: How do you explain them? 960 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,279 Speaker 18: So students we talked to, so there's a range of 961 00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,600 Speaker 18: fact that half of them said their mental health and issues, 962 00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:38,759 Speaker 18: but being bullied at school and not feeling safe at 963 00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,360 Speaker 18: schools and issues or things going in their family lives, 964 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,719 Speaker 18: for example, moving around a lot. But what we do 965 00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,440 Speaker 18: know is the support we've got in place to respond 966 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,280 Speaker 18: to this is just not adequate and isn't adequately resourced. 967 00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,320 Speaker 2: See what's interesting about this for me, apart from the 968 00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,759 Speaker 2: fact that it's depressing, is when this goes back to 969 00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,520 Speaker 2: twenty fifteen. So everyone up until now is blaming COVID. 970 00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,839 Speaker 2: Twenty fifteen's well before COVID. So something was going on, 971 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:00,680 Speaker 2: wasn't it. 972 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,200 Speaker 18: Yeah, So we know that this has been growing since twenty fifteen. 973 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:07,000 Speaker 18: So these factors that are contributing to a long standing 974 00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,960 Speaker 18: and we've got to have better support in place. Half 975 00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,120 Speaker 18: the schools don't refer to attendance services because attendant services 976 00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,600 Speaker 18: are often not effective because they're overwhelmed. Some of them 977 00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:19,240 Speaker 18: have got like five hundred student caseloads for a single worker. 978 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:20,319 Speaker 18: It's just not enough. 979 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,000 Speaker 2: Okay. So the caret and stick thing that's going on 980 00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,359 Speaker 2: with the current government about attendance and making schools all 981 00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,760 Speaker 2: that is that helping is then an approach that works 982 00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:29,040 Speaker 2: or not. 983 00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:33,680 Speaker 18: We know that knowing where they are step attendance response, 984 00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:35,799 Speaker 18: where we're going to be doing more to understand what's 985 00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:37,880 Speaker 18: going on. Monitor them and act early. That is a 986 00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,200 Speaker 18: key part of it. But we're also saying we need 987 00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,160 Speaker 18: more effective, targeted support and we need to do more 988 00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,640 Speaker 18: to retain students when they do make it back to school, 989 00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,080 Speaker 18: and schools need to be funded and services need to 990 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,040 Speaker 18: be funded to do this. There's some things we can 991 00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:53,520 Speaker 18: move off schools, for example, prosecutions or information sharing, so 992 00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,719 Speaker 18: schools could focus on what they do best, which is 993 00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:57,160 Speaker 18: working with the kids and their parents. 994 00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,440 Speaker 2: Is it solvable to the extentes that like crime? In 995 00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:02,080 Speaker 2: other words, it's all very well to get to the 996 00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,439 Speaker 2: kid and help them, but then they go back home 997 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,520 Speaker 2: to where the problems started, and as long as you're 998 00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,680 Speaker 2: doing that bit, that's where you trouble lies. 999 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,280 Speaker 18: It's definitely solvable because we've looked at really effective systems 1000 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,279 Speaker 18: both here and abroad, and they are end to end. 1001 00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 18: But you're right, it has to be relentlessly removing those barriers. 1002 00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,040 Speaker 18: Some of those are with parents and families, but some 1003 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,440 Speaker 18: of them is about the school. Students most often said 1004 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:25,319 Speaker 18: it was kind of school factors that stopped them going 1005 00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,080 Speaker 18: to school, and parents also said they want to work 1006 00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:29,920 Speaker 18: more closely to school, and we know school are doing 1007 00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:31,920 Speaker 18: their best they're just not set up to succeed. 1008 00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:34,959 Speaker 2: I don't know how to put it at the light ay, 1009 00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:36,720 Speaker 2: And you know, in other words, I don't like school, 1010 00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:38,640 Speaker 2: I don't like the teachers, I'm bullied, all that stuff 1011 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,799 Speaker 2: we all went through that have we just become a 1012 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:43,840 Speaker 2: bit soft and that's suddenly a reason not to go 1013 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,480 Speaker 2: to school as opposed to it sucks, but that's life. 1014 00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:49,560 Speaker 18: What we talked to these students, it was more serious 1015 00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,200 Speaker 18: things with mental health and also barriers like physical health, 1016 00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,799 Speaker 18: because these are kids are missing three weeks a term. 1017 00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:56,040 Speaker 18: It's not missing a day or two. 1018 00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:56,359 Speaker 14: Here. 1019 00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,360 Speaker 18: They've got really significant isshes, many of them, and we 1020 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,399 Speaker 18: need to work through that so that they. 1021 00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:02,160 Speaker 20: Can get back to school. 1022 00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:05,239 Speaker 2: Segnificant issue. I mean we I mean, I don't want 1023 00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,960 Speaker 2: to sound like a dinosaur, but we were all bullied 1024 00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,360 Speaker 2: at school, weren't we. Every one of us was bullied 1025 00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:13,080 Speaker 2: at school. We didn't call it mental health. It was 1026 00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,719 Speaker 2: just we got bullied at school. Is that what you're 1027 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:17,759 Speaker 2: talking about, though, No. 1028 00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,440 Speaker 18: We're talking about a range of things. For example, and 1029 00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:23,520 Speaker 18: if you're struggling with anxiety or issues like that, and 1030 00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:25,880 Speaker 18: also if your family's moving around a lot. And I've 1031 00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,000 Speaker 18: seen quite a lot of that. And if your family's 1032 00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:29,720 Speaker 18: moving and you go into three or four different schools 1033 00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,480 Speaker 18: a year, it's really hard to create those habits of 1034 00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,960 Speaker 18: going regularly that help you succeed. And unfortunately you saw 1035 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,120 Speaker 18: in the report, if kids aren't going regularly, these students 1036 00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:42,040 Speaker 18: are much less likely to succeed in life, less than 1037 00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,399 Speaker 18: half of the end level two and by the age 1038 00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,439 Speaker 18: of twenty five, nearly half for receiving a benefit rather 1039 00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,200 Speaker 18: than being in work. So this education they're missing out 1040 00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:53,000 Speaker 18: actually really damages their life chances. 1041 00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:56,560 Speaker 2: So no, none of that's surprising. Unfortunately, having said that, 1042 00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:00,360 Speaker 2: is what you're saying that, because you've been around a while, 1043 00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:05,440 Speaker 2: is life for a young person now profoundly different in 1044 00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,759 Speaker 2: their interaction with school than it was thirty years ago 1045 00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:12,640 Speaker 2: for example, something just just obviously different. Therefore we've got 1046 00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:13,520 Speaker 2: these problems. 1047 00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,040 Speaker 18: What we're saying is it's a mixture of things. So 1048 00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,080 Speaker 18: definitely students have got new pressures and new anxieties, and 1049 00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,880 Speaker 18: we're seeing that across education and social media and other 1050 00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,400 Speaker 18: things to put pressures. But we're also saying that somehow 1051 00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:27,200 Speaker 18: in these in and we've lost this sort of importance 1052 00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,239 Speaker 18: of education and across attendance. We're seeing that we're just 1053 00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:32,719 Speaker 18: not taking going to school seriously enough, so there are 1054 00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:35,239 Speaker 18: real barriers. But also with all of us got to 1055 00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:37,080 Speaker 18: do more to get our kids going to school regularly 1056 00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,840 Speaker 18: because the more you do it, there's the biggest predictor 1057 00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,280 Speaker 18: of attendance is going to school regularly. 1058 00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:43,000 Speaker 13: It's a habit. 1059 00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:47,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree? Do we are we an outlier? I mean, 1060 00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,439 Speaker 2: as Australia got the same problem we had, what about 1061 00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:51,640 Speaker 2: Britain all that sort of stuff? Are we doing something wrong? 1062 00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:54,080 Speaker 2: Or as every western country got the same. 1063 00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,920 Speaker 18: Issue, so we did look at that, and other countries 1064 00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,440 Speaker 18: don't really measure chronic absence in the way that we do. 1065 00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:02,520 Speaker 18: We do know attendance a class issue. In New Zealand 1066 00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,040 Speaker 18: is one of the poor performers and we need to 1067 00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,440 Speaker 18: do better. And this report, hopefully sais that how we 1068 00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:10,360 Speaker 18: can because our really effective things that we can do 1069 00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:12,600 Speaker 18: that will make a difference if we do it together. 1070 00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,439 Speaker 2: Good stuff. Ruth appreciate company is always Ruth Shanoda, who's 1071 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:18,279 Speaker 2: the head of the eero's Education Evaluations Center. It is 1072 00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,640 Speaker 2: seventeen minutes away from mate asking is the postling a 1073 00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:23,839 Speaker 2: big deal? I got the Vibe yesterday, tell me if 1074 00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:27,960 Speaker 2: I'm hopelessly out of touch. They announce MB who run 1075 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,200 Speaker 2: New Zealand Post, that we're going to have to do 1076 00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:32,440 Speaker 2: something because none of us seen mail anymore and it's 1077 00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:33,920 Speaker 2: gone down to next to nothing, and they think it 1078 00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:36,239 Speaker 2: will be one hundred million pieces by twenty twenty eight. 1079 00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:38,920 Speaker 2: It was eight hundred and thirteen. So it's plummeting over 1080 00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,319 Speaker 2: the last twenty years. And we all know this. But 1081 00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,160 Speaker 2: once upon a time when they used to say, oh, 1082 00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:44,719 Speaker 2: we're going to cut up from seven days a week 1083 00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:46,239 Speaker 2: to six days a week, to five days a week, 1084 00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,080 Speaker 2: et cetera, everyone will go, oh my god, the end 1085 00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:49,920 Speaker 2: of the world. Whereas now I noted yesterday with the 1086 00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,359 Speaker 2: announcement which they're thinking, you bring it down to three 1087 00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,200 Speaker 2: and two days a week, depending on where the country 1088 00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:57,720 Speaker 2: you are. Does anyone care anymore because there's so little 1089 00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:02,560 Speaker 2: male and therefore it doesn't affect us. Is it just 1090 00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,640 Speaker 2: like that's life? Or have I completely misread that? Seventeen 1091 00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,000 Speaker 2: to two. 1092 00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:12,280 Speaker 1: Love Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1093 00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:12,960 Speaker 1: by News. 1094 00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:14,120 Speaker 6: Talks at be Right. 1095 00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,160 Speaker 2: I can't think of any mail item that can't wait 1096 00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,200 Speaker 2: three days I mean, the last thing I got and 1097 00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,920 Speaker 2: that was unusual was the speeding ticket I told you 1098 00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,080 Speaker 2: about last week, and that was the first speeding ticket 1099 00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:24,560 Speaker 2: in years. And therefore I can't think of a single 1100 00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:26,680 Speaker 2: other thing I've got in the mail in the year's mind, 1101 00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:29,600 Speaker 2: you I don't clear the box? Do you not think devices, 1102 00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,600 Speaker 2: Mike and social media has a bearing on children's behavior 1103 00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,080 Speaker 2: in school attendance this year these days and they wouldn't 1104 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,440 Speaker 2: thirty years. I think that's probably val a fair point. 1105 00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:41,080 Speaker 2: Back to the immigration When are we going to get 1106 00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,640 Speaker 2: this sorted out? So I'm reading a fascinating piece yesterday 1107 00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:47,400 Speaker 2: where the person who runs immigration in this country admits 1108 00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:51,000 Speaker 2: that what they're doing is pretty much useless. Eleven weeks 1109 00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:54,520 Speaker 2: for employer accreditation, twelve weeks for a job check, four 1110 00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:56,839 Speaker 2: months for a work visa. I'm not proud of that 1111 00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,680 Speaker 2: in any way. I admit it's not good enough. And 1112 00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,600 Speaker 2: I can assure you that the team we're working with 1113 00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:06,040 Speaker 2: alongside the minister is doing everything we can. This is 1114 00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:10,239 Speaker 2: Alison McDonald, who's the Immigration New Zealand head. But they're 1115 00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,560 Speaker 2: talking to all sorts of people who just literally they 1116 00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:16,319 Speaker 2: claim their businesses are going to fall over what worries me. 1117 00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:18,040 Speaker 2: There was one example of a person who wanted a 1118 00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:23,280 Speaker 2: sales manager for a bar. Now, I'm all for immigration. 1119 00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:26,000 Speaker 2: I love immigration. I think immigration's fantastic for all sorts 1120 00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:29,120 Speaker 2: of reasons. But is it true to say that you 1121 00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:31,799 Speaker 2: can only bring a sales manager in from offshore? The 1122 00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:34,080 Speaker 2: claim being they couldn't find a sales manager and if 1123 00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:36,160 Speaker 2: they couldn't get a sales manager because of all the delays, 1124 00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:39,480 Speaker 2: their business was going to go under. Is that really true? 1125 00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:41,840 Speaker 2: So all you need is a sales manager. You're not 1126 00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:44,839 Speaker 2: after a magician, it's just a sales manager. And you're 1127 00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:46,520 Speaker 2: telling me in all of New Zealand there's not a 1128 00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,239 Speaker 2: single person you can hire locally available. You've got to 1129 00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,000 Speaker 2: bring someone in prom ovacies. But in that, I suppose 1130 00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,880 Speaker 2: is the complication of immigration settings. Anyway, they talk to 1131 00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,600 Speaker 2: a guy called Tobias who's an advisor, and he says, 1132 00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:02,520 Speaker 2: not just it's all over the place. Bigger companies at 1133 00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:04,400 Speaker 2: the moment tend to be saying we don't see the 1134 00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:07,360 Speaker 2: point in renewing accreditation because you've got to have be 1135 00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:10,520 Speaker 2: accredited as an employer, or we don't believe it's worth 1136 00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:13,840 Speaker 2: engaging in the process. Skilled people they're not bothering with 1137 00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,600 Speaker 2: New Zealand anymore. This is once again like the tourism, 1138 00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,600 Speaker 2: like all the other issues we've gotten, foreign investment. You know, 1139 00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:22,440 Speaker 2: we're just not seen as a cool place. They don't 1140 00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:24,680 Speaker 2: like us. The world just doesn't like the cut of 1141 00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:28,560 Speaker 2: our GiB. At the moment, skilled people they're not bothering 1142 00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:32,360 Speaker 2: with New Zealand anymore. There's better options elsewhere. The application 1143 00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,480 Speaker 2: fees have massively increased. The systems really are cain and 1144 00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:38,279 Speaker 2: challenging for employers and migrants, and there's been so much 1145 00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,279 Speaker 2: change that a lot of people are just going, I'm 1146 00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:46,360 Speaker 2: just going to go elsewhere. So New Zealand Inc. Doesn't 1147 00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:49,200 Speaker 2: have a particularly good reputation. What worries me about this 1148 00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:52,919 Speaker 2: is that probably the most competent minister the current government has, 1149 00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:55,920 Speaker 2: in the form of Erica Stanford's in chargeable of this 1150 00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,879 Speaker 2: and they've been in power now for a year and 1151 00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,359 Speaker 2: I'm still reading reports it's about what a basket case 1152 00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:03,360 Speaker 2: it is, and the head of the basket case admits 1153 00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,560 Speaker 2: it's a basket case. So things need to change in quickly. 1154 00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:12,800 Speaker 2: Turn away from it, breaks with news given away from it. 1155 00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,080 Speaker 2: So Rugby might be on a bit of a revival. 1156 00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:17,840 Speaker 2: Role player registration numbers and new numbers. Registrations are up 1157 00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:19,480 Speaker 2: six percent on the year. We got one hundred and 1158 00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:23,480 Speaker 2: fifty six thousand registered players across the country Heartland provinces. 1159 00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:25,600 Speaker 2: They're run setting new records, which is good. Now the 1160 00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:28,920 Speaker 2: ends it ours Community Rugby general manager Steve Lancaster with 1161 00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:31,239 Speaker 2: us good morning morning, Mike. Tell you what your If 1162 00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:35,160 Speaker 2: you watch the MPC final, which I did, that makes 1163 00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:36,600 Speaker 2: you want to play rugby, doesn't it. 1164 00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:40,560 Speaker 11: Would hope. So, I mean we had we had two 1165 00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:42,560 Speaker 11: finals and two weeks that went to extra time. So 1166 00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,200 Speaker 11: across the I think across the Fire Palmer Cup, the 1167 00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,879 Speaker 11: Heartland Championship in the NPC, we we've had some great 1168 00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:50,080 Speaker 11: advertisements for the community game in the last month. 1169 00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:53,000 Speaker 2: What what drives registration. 1170 00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:58,360 Speaker 11: The participants experience more than anything, right, and so then 1171 00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:00,560 Speaker 11: that speaks to attention as much as anything. But if 1172 00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:02,279 Speaker 11: people are having a good time and coming back, they're 1173 00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:05,160 Speaker 11: really telling other people about it, speaking positively about the game, 1174 00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,520 Speaker 11: and that draws more people. So a lot of our 1175 00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:11,719 Speaker 11: focus is on ensuring that our participants, where they players, coaches, referees, 1176 00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,400 Speaker 11: volunteers are enjoying their experience. 1177 00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:16,520 Speaker 2: And is it school or is it club? 1178 00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:20,800 Speaker 11: It's all of that and the numbers that we've released 1179 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:24,280 Speaker 11: this week, we've seen growth across all segments really pleasingly. 1180 00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:28,280 Speaker 11: We've seen just over five percent increase in teenage boys, 1181 00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:30,359 Speaker 11: which is an area that is often called out as 1182 00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:34,200 Speaker 11: a declining area for Station, but we're also seeing club 1183 00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:35,719 Speaker 11: growth across the spectrum as well. 1184 00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:38,680 Speaker 2: Steve, That's exciting, isn't it. And in the Heartland, is 1185 00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:41,640 Speaker 2: it different and you're seeing success there because of the 1186 00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:43,200 Speaker 2: community aspect of it or not? 1187 00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:46,640 Speaker 11: Yeah? I think so. I mean the numbers across the 1188 00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:48,319 Speaker 11: Heartled the unions are at a record high, So we've 1189 00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:50,839 Speaker 11: got more people playing rugby and Heartland provinces than ever 1190 00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:54,320 Speaker 11: have before. And that's really exciting. And I think that 1191 00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:56,479 Speaker 11: is true that there's a slightly different experience in Rugby 1192 00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:59,160 Speaker 11: holds a slightly different place than those communities. So we're 1193 00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:00,520 Speaker 11: really pleased with that with God as well. 1194 00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:03,000 Speaker 2: So have you turned the tide or was the tide 1195 00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,480 Speaker 2: never needing turning? Because the reputation or the myth or 1196 00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:07,840 Speaker 2: the whatever you want to call it, was that rugby's dying. 1197 00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:10,120 Speaker 2: People don't play it anymore, they all get injured, Mum 1198 00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:11,799 Speaker 2: and dad can't take you across to the game, so 1199 00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:15,160 Speaker 2: the whole thing's in trouble. Was that ever true? 1200 00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:17,880 Speaker 11: No, I don't think so. I think the rhetoric of 1201 00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:21,080 Speaker 11: that outweighed the reality, if we're honest. Although look, we 1202 00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:23,560 Speaker 11: don't shy away from the fact that we have had 1203 00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,040 Speaker 11: declining numbers in some segments, and so it's nice to 1204 00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:30,080 Speaker 11: see them all rebounding after COVID. But you've touched on it. 1205 00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:34,760 Speaker 11: There's perceptions, particular perceptions around injury that actually just aren't accurate, 1206 00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:36,400 Speaker 11: and so a lot of our work now is on 1207 00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:39,320 Speaker 11: ensuring that we're putting factual information out there about those 1208 00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:40,160 Speaker 11: sort of things as well. 1209 00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,080 Speaker 2: And do you see the connection between more people playing 1210 00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:45,479 Speaker 2: and the All Blacks the elite level of the game, 1211 00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:48,040 Speaker 2: or are they completely separate things. A great player is 1212 00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:50,120 Speaker 2: going to be a great player, whether you're a bunch 1213 00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:51,440 Speaker 2: of kids play it at school. 1214 00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:54,840 Speaker 11: No, we do see a connection, and that's something we've 1215 00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,760 Speaker 11: actually we've debated a lot internally, is whether in fact 1216 00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:00,720 Speaker 11: that the long term success of the All Blacks dependent 1217 00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,080 Speaker 11: on the game being you know, the game of choice 1218 00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,560 Speaker 11: for these cylinders. But where we've blended. Is that it 1219 00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,840 Speaker 11: is that you know, it can only enhance the prospects 1220 00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:11,160 Speaker 11: of the All Blacks continuing to an on the world stage, 1221 00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:13,480 Speaker 11: that more people are playing the game at all levels. 1222 00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:16,200 Speaker 2: I think that's true. Steve go well, Steve Lancaster ends 1223 00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:18,960 Speaker 2: at our community Rugby general manager. Looking forward to the weekend, 1224 00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:22,400 Speaker 2: of course in Britain, brought back memories. There are the 1225 00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:27,280 Speaker 2: surely under sevens. Those were the days Mike got accredited 1226 00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:31,880 Speaker 2: employer status two days after applying. New employee straight to 1227 00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,600 Speaker 2: residency in three months. Holdup was medical counsel, but after 1228 00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:36,720 Speaker 2: a phone call that came through quickly. This is a 1229 00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:40,680 Speaker 2: third overseas employee we've employed and the system works. Takes 1230 00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:43,600 Speaker 2: a few months, but then so did finding the right employee. 1231 00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:47,360 Speaker 2: We have a very reliable immigration consultant. That's the important part. 1232 00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:52,320 Speaker 2: There you go, hold my beer. Clash of stories. Who's 1233 00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:55,840 Speaker 2: right now? Elbow Alban easy con't wait to catch up 1234 00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:58,600 Speaker 2: with Steve Price. Elbow, as I alluded to on the 1235 00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,520 Speaker 2: program yesterday, isn't a whirled of pain because he was 1236 00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:04,240 Speaker 2: busy ringing Ellen Joyce getting upgrades for himself and his 1237 00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:08,000 Speaker 2: family for personal trips on Airlines at Quantas and he 1238 00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:11,400 Speaker 2: yesterday was sort of asked about this and he got 1239 00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:15,000 Speaker 2: all teaching and he started looking to blame Dutton and 1240 00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:17,120 Speaker 2: every other politician. But of course, and he said, it's 1241 00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:19,480 Speaker 2: all the claud told a Clad it's old a Clad. 1242 00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:22,720 Speaker 2: But declaring what you did wrong doesn't make it right, 1243 00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:24,880 Speaker 2: of course. So anyway, more on at the sleep Price 1244 00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:28,080 Speaker 2: later in the morning. But politics Wednesday, it is next. 1245 00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:31,800 Speaker 16: Demanding the answers from the decision makers. 1246 00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:36,080 Speaker 1: The mic asking breakfast with Bailey's real estate, your local 1247 00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:39,760 Speaker 1: experts across residential, commercial and rural news talks head be 1248 00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:40,920 Speaker 1: baby Dad. 1249 00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:44,760 Speaker 17: In a soler soon and a hard box car with 1250 00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:48,720 Speaker 17: a seatbell around his neck and the needle in his 1251 00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:55,000 Speaker 17: arm were smokeouting the cocking up the hound convenience shows. 1252 00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:57,680 Speaker 2: I bought a cup and of grounds to eat off him. 1253 01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:04,320 Speaker 2: Usconator is the name of the album Johnny Pops Chamelion 1254 01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:09,160 Speaker 2: Halsey mates. I'm not calling it that. I don't know 1255 01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:11,120 Speaker 2: much about her, but that's what they're calling to you 1256 01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:14,240 Speaker 2: as we pick.

Can you sort of what's going 1268 01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:56,680 Speaker 2: on there? Do you reckon? 1269 01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:01,960 Speaker 21: Well, I assume you're referring to the recent mistake that 1270 01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:06,640 Speaker 21: she made by sharing that Facebook post or Instagram post. Yeah, yeah, No, 1271 01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:08,600 Speaker 21: I can't explain that. I neither can she. She said 1272 01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:11,120 Speaker 21: it was a mistake. She said she regrets it and 1273 01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:13,240 Speaker 21: she's apologized, which is the appropriate thing to do. 1274 01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:17,240 Speaker 2: That is true. I just wonder do you have, like 1275 01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:20,360 Speaker 2: I don't know, classes courses for people going if there's 1276 01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:22,680 Speaker 2: a red flag, a presence of a red flag, the 1277 01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:24,480 Speaker 2: thought of a red flag, you know, this might get 1278 01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:27,000 Speaker 2: you any of those sort of advice floating around the 1279 01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:29,200 Speaker 2: Labour caucus at any point in time. 1280 01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:31,680 Speaker 14: Oh. 1281 01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:36,040 Speaker 21: Look, it is appropriate that she apologized, and it's appropriate 1282 01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:37,840 Speaker 21: that she regrets doing it. I'm not going to shy 1283 01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:39,680 Speaker 21: away from that. But I don't think we should make 1284 01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:43,120 Speaker 21: this out to be worthy of those sorts of courses. 1285 01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:44,200 Speaker 21: I mean, at the end of the day, it was 1286 01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:46,480 Speaker 21: a shared post. If she'd said this to the king 1287 01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:48,840 Speaker 21: or said this in person about the King, then that 1288 01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:51,840 Speaker 21: would be very serious. But sharing a post and then 1289 01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:53,640 Speaker 21: regretting it doesn't warrant those sorts of things. 1290 01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:53,959 Speaker 12: Mate. 1291 01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:55,360 Speaker 2: Are you on social media? 1292 01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:55,680 Speaker 14: Mark? 1293 01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:01,120 Speaker 22: Yes, But I'm not a big The great frustrations for 1294 01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:03,840 Speaker 22: our social media team is that I'm not as president 1295 01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:08,000 Speaker 22: as they think I should be.

Put them on social media? 1315 01:02:56,400 --> 01:03:00,960 Speaker 14: Yeah? I thought about doing that, actually, Karen. I am 1316 01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:01,800 Speaker 14: way of the hotel. 1317 01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:07,320 Speaker 2: Okay, I'm excited almost to see you seemingly backing the 1318 01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:12,760 Speaker 2: government on this building consent stuff. Broadly speaking, it makes sense, 1319 01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:13,200 Speaker 2: doesn't it. 1320 01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:17,400 Speaker 21: Yeah, it does, And it was something that I've been 1321 01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:21,000 Speaker 21: personally speaking with the Master Plumbers about for some time 1322 01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:24,320 Speaker 21: and have held some sympathy for their position there. I mean, 1323 01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:29,240 Speaker 21: you've got guys that many of their members aren't just plumbers. 1324 01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:30,720 Speaker 14: But are also guessed for it as as well. 1325 01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:33,200 Speaker 21: So for one of their trade they're able to self certify, 1326 01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:35,840 Speaker 21: and for another they're not. And we mustn't forget that 1327 01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:40,200 Speaker 21: the leaky building saga that we went through wasn't the 1328 01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:44,520 Speaker 21: fault of plumbers. But we also need to and reasonably 1329 01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:48,720 Speaker 21: express potential concerns to make sure we get the balance 1330 01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:51,000 Speaker 21: right here, you know, We've got world class trades people 1331 01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:53,640 Speaker 21: in this country, but they've been plagued by cowboys for 1332 01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:55,560 Speaker 21: as long as they've been around, and we can't let 1333 01:03:55,680 --> 01:04:00,120 Speaker 21: that integrity be undermined. And we also can't put homeowners 1334 01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:03,320 Speaker 21: and the site here because they've already suffered enough through 1335 01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:05,480 Speaker 21: Vicky building. So there is a balance that I think 1336 01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:07,840 Speaker 21: we can strike and it's reasonable to point it out 1337 01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:08,360 Speaker 21: that way. 1338 01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:11,160 Speaker 2: Right, would you see yourself navigating safely through this mark? 1339 01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:14,800 Speaker 14: Well? I agree. I just think that there is a 1340 01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:15,280 Speaker 14: balance here. 1341 01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:16,520 Speaker 22: But the one thing that we do have to do 1342 01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:18,880 Speaker 22: as a country is we have to look at sensible 1343 01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:21,080 Speaker 22: ways and making it easier and cheaper to build houses. 1344 01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:23,920 Speaker 22: And I look, and I agree with Kieran, is that 1345 01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:26,480 Speaker 22: we have world class trades people that can be trusted, 1346 01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:29,200 Speaker 22: and right now some of them are. They can self certify, 1347 01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:32,280 Speaker 22: So you know Chris Pink is working through that in 1348 01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:33,080 Speaker 22: a careful way. 1349 01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:35,880 Speaker 2: How do I does it not put the onus on 1350 01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:37,880 Speaker 2: me the punter? So you go along with a JUJ 1351 01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:40,560 Speaker 2: Gardener on earlier on so Juj Gardener got a good reputation, 1352 01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:42,680 Speaker 2: I go to JJ Gardener. I can feel confident at 1353 01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:44,640 Speaker 2: this self certifying. What if I go down to Bob. 1354 01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:46,640 Speaker 2: Bob seems like a nice guy, but Bob turns out 1355 01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:47,160 Speaker 2: to be a croc. 1356 01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:51,600 Speaker 22: How do I tell, yeah, I mean that's what That's 1357 01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:54,480 Speaker 22: exactly what Kieren's sort of talking about us. How do 1358 01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:57,840 Speaker 22: we still have all the ability for consumers to be 1359 01:04:57,880 --> 01:04:59,360 Speaker 22: able to sort of check that out and make sure 1360 01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:03,000 Speaker 22: they are dealing someone that's reputable in a proper trades 1361 01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:04,439 Speaker 22: person that will actually do a good job. 1362 01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:07,320 Speaker 14: But look that I'm not in that detail. 1363 01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:09,640 Speaker 22: Obviously it's christ Pink's line of work, but I think 1364 01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:10,240 Speaker 22: that does have. 1365 01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:10,800 Speaker 14: To be addressed. 1366 01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:15,160 Speaker 21: Bring indemnity insurance is crucial, Like ultimately, if people meet 1367 01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:19,439 Speaker 21: certain criteria that gives consumers confidence, then we'll be able 1368 01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:22,200 Speaker 21: to move forward. If that's not there, or it's wishy washy, 1369 01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:25,840 Speaker 21: or there's loopholes, that's where things can fall over. So 1370 01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:28,520 Speaker 21: at the moment, the government's put out a consultation document, 1371 01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:31,160 Speaker 21: and I imagine people will engage with that. We certainly will, 1372 01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:33,320 Speaker 21: And you know, I've got a lot of time for 1373 01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:35,439 Speaker 21: Chris Penky's a reasonable guy and I think he will 1374 01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:37,800 Speaker 21: work with us to try and get this right. Everyone 1375 01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:39,760 Speaker 21: wants certainty, and this is a good way to go 1376 01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:40,920 Speaker 21: about it when you work together. 1377 01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:44,000 Speaker 2: Brief break, brief break, More in the Moment.

When everyone's 1398 01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:41,200 Speaker 2: on it, it's all fantastic. But what I saw from 1399 01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:43,600 Speaker 2: what they were doing is no one's on it. They 1400 01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:46,280 Speaker 2: sort of ran rampant when nuts went home and you 1401 01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:49,000 Speaker 2: guys just wander around going, oh, don't worry, we're we're 1402 01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:50,360 Speaker 2: on top of the gangs. They didn't seem to be 1403 01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:51,439 Speaker 2: on top of the gangs at all. 1404 01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:52,960 Speaker 14: Caught the opposite. 1405 01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:55,120 Speaker 22: For the last twelve months they have been controlled. They're 1406 01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:56,040 Speaker 22: being print now. 1407 01:06:56,080 --> 01:06:57,560 Speaker 2: I'm talking about yesterday. 1408 01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:57,760 Speaker 14: Around these game. 1409 01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:00,439 Speaker 22: CoV was Yeah, I know, it was just to carry 1410 01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:01,880 Speaker 22: on what they've been doing for twelve months. 1411 01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,440 Speaker 14: Is they had plenty of police resources there the roads. 1412 01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:06,600 Speaker 22: Yes, the police warned the day before that there's going 1413 01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:08,120 Speaker 22: to be conditioned because when you get a lot of 1414 01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:11,200 Speaker 22: vehicles coming into an area, then that happens. But they 1415 01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:14,760 Speaker 22: kept the traffic flowing. There were no risks because there 1416 01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:17,640 Speaker 22: was no illegal behavior. Yes, there was a bit of 1417 01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:19,280 Speaker 22: disorder around dooble stuff and. 1418 01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:19,760 Speaker 14: Things like that. 1419 01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,520 Speaker 22: The police will follow up on that, but fundamentally they 1420 01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:25,680 Speaker 22: do the outstanding job of controlling these convoys. Normally they 1421 01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:28,680 Speaker 22: just come and take over roads, drive into oncoming traffic, 1422 01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:34,240 Speaker 22: abuse in ciminate all sorts of stuff, but the police 1423 01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:36,520 Speaker 22: really did handle it very well used today. 1424 01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:39,680 Speaker 2: Do you reckon that's true, Karen, I do. 1425 01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:43,040 Speaker 21: I think the police do an exceptional job with the 1426 01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:46,040 Speaker 21: resources that they've got. We've had an incident and wided 1427 01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:50,800 Speaker 21: up recently where the police that us proud and basically 1428 01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:55,200 Speaker 21: managed to deal with an incredibly serious situation that could 1429 01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:57,919 Speaker 21: have been life threatening, and I think actually the way 1430 01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:00,600 Speaker 21: the police handed it was able to preserve life because 1431 01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:02,400 Speaker 21: it could have got out of hand really quickly with 1432 01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:06,920 Speaker 21: many people breaking cars and bumping into people trying to 1433 01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:07,760 Speaker 21: do skids, et cetera. 1434 01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:09,520 Speaker 14: These board races and spectators. 1435 01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:14,160 Speaker 21: It's a real worry, particularly when crowds outnumber the police 1436 01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:18,040 Speaker 21: that are on hand, and the reality is that you 1437 01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:20,759 Speaker 21: won't be able to have the number of police required 1438 01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:24,519 Speaker 21: at any given time in a town like Mastered. The 1439 01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:27,879 Speaker 21: solution to that is ensuring that communication is strong and intelligent, 1440 01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:30,320 Speaker 21: sharing is strong so that resources can be shifted when 1441 01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:33,200 Speaker 21: it's required. But those local police that dealt with that 1442 01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:34,960 Speaker 21: recently did an exceptional job. 1443 01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:37,840 Speaker 22: They're running big operations against these guys, Mike, and I 1444 01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:39,840 Speaker 22: think Qan raises a really good point in relation to 1445 01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:42,719 Speaker 22: our polices that I was at an awards ceremony recently. 1446 01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:45,280 Speaker 22: We're most of the awards handed out to police officers 1447 01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:48,800 Speaker 22: for saving lives. We don't often talk about that. It's 1448 01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:50,639 Speaker 22: not always visible to the public. And by the way, 1449 01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:52,759 Speaker 22: one of them was saving the life of an offender. 1450 01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:56,800 Speaker 22: So they just we should be very proud of our 1451 01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:59,680 Speaker 22: police service. They do an outstanding job, and they are 1452 01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:02,880 Speaker 22: making hard running operations and really are starting here on 1453 01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:05,840 Speaker 22: top of this boy racer and the games, and I'm 1454 01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:06,880 Speaker 22: really proud of the what they're doing. 1455 01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:10,320 Speaker 2: Good stuff, Karen. I watch parlor, I watch question Time, 1456 01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:13,840 Speaker 2: and I see you stand up a lot, and I'm 1457 01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:15,840 Speaker 2: to say, point of order, mister speaker, point of order. 1458 01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:19,000 Speaker 2: All that sort of stuff is brownly ruining question time. 1459 01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:21,439 Speaker 14: No, I don't think so. 1460 01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:24,719 Speaker 21: I have a really good working relationship with the Speaker. 1461 01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:28,480 Speaker 21: In fact, I think if you look back to previous parliaments, 1462 01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:31,439 Speaker 21: people in my role, the shadow leader of the House role, 1463 01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:33,760 Speaker 21: actually stood up for more points of order. I've got 1464 01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:36,439 Speaker 21: to the point where I'd like to think that if 1465 01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:38,120 Speaker 21: I do stand up for a point of order, it's 1466 01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:40,200 Speaker 21: because I have a genuine point. It's not because I'm 1467 01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:42,400 Speaker 21: trying to make a political point. That's not my style 1468 01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:45,120 Speaker 21: because you want to be taken seriously and at the 1469 01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:48,200 Speaker 21: end of the day, points of order are there to 1470 01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:52,679 Speaker 21: raise a question of parliamentary privilege, of which I'm learning 1471 01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:55,360 Speaker 21: a lot, and I like to think that we've got 1472 01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:56,520 Speaker 21: a good working relationship. 1473 01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:59,280 Speaker 2: Okay, what about you, Mark? I mean, you spend a 1474 01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:01,639 Speaker 2: lot of time in so Knee and not in the House. 1475 01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:03,639 Speaker 2: And every time I see Luxe and how, I say, 1476 01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:06,439 Speaker 2: why aren't you opening the house up? Whether whether anyone 1477 01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:08,880 Speaker 2: supports your government or not. You've got a lot of 1478 01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:11,160 Speaker 2: work on and you can only pass law if the 1479 01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:13,320 Speaker 2: house is open. And the house never seems to be open. 1480 01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:16,280 Speaker 14: Well, what does a spell the rumor that I spend 1481 01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:17,719 Speaker 14: a lot of time in Sydney? I don't. 1482 01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:25,360 Speaker 22: I think that I'm over here to the point of mate, 1483 01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:27,120 Speaker 22: that they had to show last night at the Sydney 1484 01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:30,479 Speaker 22: oper House. But look, Karen's that You're right. He does 1485 01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:35,080 Speaker 22: his job as the opposition leader of the House. He 1486 01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:37,559 Speaker 22: has to raise points of order because he has to 1487 01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:39,320 Speaker 22: try and make sure the opposition are given a fair 1488 01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:40,080 Speaker 22: crack in the house. 1489 01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:43,599 Speaker 14: I think Jerry does an outstanding job as a speaker. 1490 01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:47,479 Speaker 22: He's got grevitas and you know, and it's a boisterous 1491 01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:50,000 Speaker 22: house at times, and sometimes it should be. It's a 1492 01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:53,280 Speaker 22: place where there should be some pretty boorchous debaate going on. Look, 1493 01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:55,200 Speaker 22: there's a bit of ben that goes on between Kieran 1494 01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:57,080 Speaker 22: and Eyes that we score each other in terms of 1495 01:10:57,400 --> 01:11:00,479 Speaker 22: how many how successful he's on with his points of ordering, 1496 01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:03,720 Speaker 22: and he reminds me how unsuccessfully with my points for order. 1497 01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:08,960 Speaker 14: Good study, It's true, that's true. 1498 01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:10,880 Speaker 21: But look, it's not to say that we're not happy 1499 01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:13,800 Speaker 21: with the behavior of certain members and ministers. But the 1500 01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:16,479 Speaker 21: Christian was about the speaker, and I think he's doing 1501 01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:17,000 Speaker 21: a good job. 1502 01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:18,800 Speaker 2: Okay, good stuff.

A lot of good feedback on Kira macinulty bliming, 1533 01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:44,120 Speaker 2: I'm actually starting to like kieren refreshing. Why isn't Kurrying 1534 01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:46,000 Speaker 2: the leader of a Kiren the leader of the Labour parties? 1535 01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:48,719 Speaker 2: Very good, Mike, very refreshing to hear Mark and Kieran 1536 01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:50,599 Speaker 2: on today. Could actually hear some of the chat, Mike, 1537 01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:53,200 Speaker 2: Kieran might well be the only grown up in the 1538 01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:55,880 Speaker 2: Labour Party. My word, this is refreshing. These two are 1539 01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:58,439 Speaker 2: being fair and respectful. Gives me faith from the system. Mike, 1540 01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:01,920 Speaker 2: what party is Kierenan? Sounds all too reasonable, Mike, of Kieran, 1541 01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:04,920 Speaker 2: it was the leader, they'd have a very good chance 1542 01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:07,960 Speaker 2: of winning the next election. Very straightforward. One thing I 1543 01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:10,600 Speaker 2: didn't have time for this morning, and it got a 1544 01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:12,559 Speaker 2: little bit of coverage. I think over the weekend sometime 1545 01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:14,559 Speaker 2: I can't remember, but there's a private members bill and 1546 01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:15,880 Speaker 2: I think it's yet to be pulled. I don't think 1547 01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:18,599 Speaker 2: it has been pulled. It's in the biscuit tin as 1548 01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:22,600 Speaker 2: they say. It's the act MP Simon Court and he 1549 01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:25,679 Speaker 2: wants to get rid of these these trusts, alcohol trusts 1550 01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:29,959 Speaker 2: places like west Auckland and in Southland. And I didn't realize, 1551 01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:32,839 Speaker 2: but the one in Southland goes back to the forties. 1552 01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:35,559 Speaker 2: The Invercargol Trust, the Licensing Trust was set up in 1553 01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:37,479 Speaker 2: nineteen forty four. My tower is set up in nineteen 1554 01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:40,559 Speaker 2: fifty five, and a couple of the Auklam ones were 1555 01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:43,920 Speaker 2: set up in the seventies. His argument is that it 1556 01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:47,599 Speaker 2: stifles competition, the prices are too high. The counter argument 1557 01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:49,679 Speaker 2: to that is there's some control over how much booze 1558 01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:51,200 Speaker 2: is in the community, and of course there's far too 1559 01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:54,120 Speaker 2: much booze in the community generally at retail level. And 1560 01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:55,840 Speaker 2: of course a lot of the money goes back into 1561 01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:58,439 Speaker 2: community good and services and projects and stuff like that. 1562 01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:02,160 Speaker 2: So there's like all, there's good on both sides. But 1563 01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:04,400 Speaker 2: his argument is if he pulls the thing about the 1564 01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:08,120 Speaker 2: members bill, is would he have the numbers? Would national 1565 01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:10,680 Speaker 2: support something like that? So if I remember next week, 1566 01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:13,479 Speaker 2: I might try and get a get a vibe for it. Meantime, 1567 01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:16,360 Speaker 2: scandal time in Australia, they got the same problems. A 1568 01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:18,719 Speaker 2: couple of retailers one to ask Steve about their going 1569 01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:21,240 Speaker 2: bust or have gone bust or gone into administration, so 1570 01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:23,240 Speaker 2: they got their own retail problems at the moment. And 1571 01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:26,240 Speaker 2: of course Elbow and his business of upgrades with Allan Joyce. 1572 01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:29,400 Speaker 2: More shortly, your. 1573 01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:33,840 Speaker 1: Trusted source for news and fews, the Mic Hosking Breakfast 1574 01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:38,240 Speaker 1: with a Vita, Retirement Communities, Life your Way, News, togs 1575 01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:38,559 Speaker 1: Head be. 1576 01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:40,760 Speaker 2: Mike read the West Talk and Trust. If they were 1577 01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:43,000 Speaker 2: doing such a great job and the community and keeping 1578 01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:45,679 Speaker 2: alcohol off the streets, then why don't we have them everywhere? 1579 01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:47,960 Speaker 2: It's a not unreasonable question, Mike. The Trust and the 1580 01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:51,439 Speaker 2: Cargills crippled the hospow industry. It's an old argument, it's 1581 01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:53,320 Speaker 2: not even a new argument. And we all know the 1582 01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:56,439 Speaker 2: argument around liquor licensing. And they put money into the community. 1583 01:14:56,479 --> 01:14:58,640 Speaker 2: But then again you've got restricted competition, then you've got 1584 01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:01,280 Speaker 2: the price issues and stuff. All I'm saying is there's 1585 01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:03,559 Speaker 2: a private member's bill and it may well get pilled up, 1586 01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:05,639 Speaker 2: but just be interesting to see whether anything would actually 1587 01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:07,880 Speaker 2: happen to it or not. Twenty three minutes away from. 1588 01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:12,280 Speaker 16: Nine International Correspondence with ends Inneye Insurance Peace of Mind 1589 01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:13,640 Speaker 16: for New Zealand Business. 1590 01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:16,000 Speaker 2: And I strates to do post morning to you, good 1591 01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:19,280 Speaker 2: a dad. I was watching Albanezy trying to defend himself 1592 01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:22,559 Speaker 2: yesterday by saying everything had been declared, and I thought, 1593 01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:24,800 Speaker 2: that's not answering the question, mate, and you know it. 1594 01:15:24,840 --> 01:15:27,679 Speaker 2: And then he started raising Dutton and private planes and stuff. 1595 01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:30,960 Speaker 2: What is it about him that he doesn't have the 1596 01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:34,679 Speaker 2: this somehow, in some way is going to come back 1597 01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:37,519 Speaker 2: and bite me in the bum in a major way. 1598 01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:41,400 Speaker 12: Not sure I can even answer that question. Watching that 1599 01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:44,280 Speaker 12: same train repress conference yesterday, I just could not believe it. 1600 01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:46,439 Speaker 12: I mean, he was being asked direct questions, did you 1601 01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:49,559 Speaker 12: ever bring up Allen Joyce nast an upgrade? It then 1602 01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:53,040 Speaker 12: waffled on about two flights that were completely different from 1603 01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:55,320 Speaker 12: the ones that are causing him trouble. The ones that 1604 01:15:55,320 --> 01:15:58,800 Speaker 12: are causing him trouble are private flights on holidays, got 1605 01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:01,360 Speaker 12: nothing to do with government business. That's point number one. 1606 01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:04,240 Speaker 12: So the flights that everyone wants to know about. And 1607 01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:07,760 Speaker 12: a simple question, did you directly lobby Alan Joyce the 1608 01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:10,880 Speaker 12: SEO to get an upgrade or you know the way how. 1609 01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:11,599 Speaker 14: This all works? 1610 01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:15,000 Speaker 12: Fuck you go by an economy ticket if you've got 1611 01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:18,559 Speaker 12: contacts within the airline, you hope that you can possibly 1612 01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:21,920 Speaker 12: get a vacant business class or an international flight that's 1613 01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:25,880 Speaker 12: first class seat Albanies. He wouldn't answer that question now, 1614 01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:29,320 Speaker 12: he could have just said no, because I imagine the 1615 01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:32,759 Speaker 12: way this would have worked, certainly now that he's PM, 1616 01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:35,640 Speaker 12: would be that someone in his office ring someone in 1617 01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:38,759 Speaker 12: Condis and that's the way that works. But the problem 1618 01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:43,679 Speaker 12: he has is he was either Transport Minister under Kevin 1619 01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:49,480 Speaker 12: Rudd and Juliet Gillard, and then he was opposition Transport spokesman, 1620 01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:52,800 Speaker 12: went in opposition, and then he was Transport Minister again, 1621 01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:56,640 Speaker 12: then he was Prime Minister. So that's different from you, 1622 01:16:56,960 --> 01:17:00,320 Speaker 12: Joe blow the public getting an upgrade because he has 1623 01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:04,320 Speaker 12: influence over what the airline can and can't do and 1624 01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:06,840 Speaker 12: over airline policy. And this all comes back to that 1625 01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:09,840 Speaker 12: decision last year that not many people could understand when 1626 01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:12,720 Speaker 12: Katar tried to get more plugs into Australia and they 1627 01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:15,839 Speaker 12: were told by the current government, headed by Anthony Albanize 1628 01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:17,840 Speaker 12: that no, we're not going to let you do that. 1629 01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:20,840 Speaker 12: We don't think that the competition requires it. So he 1630 01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:24,559 Speaker 12: hasn't answered the questions Peter Dutton, I mean Peter Dutton's 1631 01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:27,280 Speaker 12: now said oh, well, he should you turn himself into 1632 01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:29,439 Speaker 12: the Anti Corruption commisional. He's not going to do that. 1633 01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:32,920 Speaker 12: And Anthony Abanize, as you said yesterday, went on about 1634 01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:37,479 Speaker 12: Peter Dutton flying on Gina Rhinhart's private yet, well, Anthony 1635 01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:40,160 Speaker 12: Albanezi flew to a place very close to where I'm 1636 01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:44,960 Speaker 12: sitting right now on trucking magnet Lindsay Fox's private helicopter 1637 01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:47,720 Speaker 12: have a barbecue with Dan Andrews, the then premier. So 1638 01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:51,559 Speaker 12: he's in a world of pain. Interestingly, I woke up 1639 01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:54,360 Speaker 12: earlier this morning thinking about your Prime Minister, who of 1640 01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:56,360 Speaker 12: course would know all about this because he ran an 1641 01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:59,599 Speaker 12: airline and you imagine how many people used to ring 1642 01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:02,040 Speaker 12: up Prime Minister luxe and then say can I have 1643 01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:05,840 Speaker 12: an upgrade money? He would be laughing his head off 1644 01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:06,400 Speaker 12: about all of this. 1645 01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:08,320 Speaker 2: Do you get to see it's a weird thing. I'm 1646 01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:10,360 Speaker 2: sure you're following the starma thing in Britain as well, 1647 01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:12,559 Speaker 2: where they you know, he's getting free suits and his 1648 01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:17,160 Speaker 2: wife's getting dresses and they're picking up free glasses reading glasses, 1649 01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:21,960 Speaker 2: and it's like it doesn't happen here. It's like you 1650 01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:24,960 Speaker 2: just don't get that sort of thing. And it's just 1651 01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:27,439 Speaker 2: it's sort of foreign to us. It's too you know, 1652 01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:30,519 Speaker 2: you're in an exalted position at the best of times. 1653 01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:32,599 Speaker 2: To think you can ring somebody up and say put 1654 01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:34,559 Speaker 2: me at the front of the plane, mate, and that 1655 01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:37,439 Speaker 2: not come back and haunt you as seems astonishing to me. 1656 01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:41,519 Speaker 12: Yeah, particularly when you often run the line that you know, 1657 01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:44,519 Speaker 12: how remarkable it is that I'm Prime Minister, given I 1658 01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:47,160 Speaker 12: grew up in social housing in Western Sydney with a 1659 01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:50,920 Speaker 12: single mom who had no money. This is not the 1660 01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:53,320 Speaker 12: first time that Anthony Albanye has had this sort of issue. 1661 01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:54,760 Speaker 12: I mean, then you know, you don't have to go 1662 01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:58,600 Speaker 12: back what three weeks and he's entitled to buy a 1663 01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:00,960 Speaker 12: four point three million dollar beach house. But we're in 1664 01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:02,840 Speaker 12: the middle of a house in crisis, in the middle 1665 01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:05,640 Speaker 12: of a cost of living crisis. So I don't know, 1666 01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:09,600 Speaker 12: maybe when you do come out of you know, a 1667 01:19:09,760 --> 01:19:14,360 Speaker 12: not so privileged background, he was hardly underprivileged, and you're 1668 01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:17,599 Speaker 12: a professional politician for thirty five years, maybe it just 1669 01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:18,240 Speaker 12: goes to your head. 1670 01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:18,720 Speaker 14: I don't know. 1671 01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:22,160 Speaker 2: Amazing this COVID report, I mean it's not a surprise, 1672 01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:25,320 Speaker 2: but what one what are they going to do with it? 1673 01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:27,800 Speaker 2: And will they learn any real lessons. And two do 1674 01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:31,200 Speaker 2: they have any confidence that in the next pandemic anyone's 1675 01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:32,760 Speaker 2: going to follow any instructions at all? 1676 01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:35,479 Speaker 12: Well, the question, the answer to all those questions is no. 1677 01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:37,200 Speaker 12: It will end up in the bottom drawer of some 1678 01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:42,040 Speaker 12: minister's office. Interestingly, the PM yesterday didn't was not the 1679 01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:44,120 Speaker 12: person who released it. It's an eight hundred and eighty 1680 01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:47,640 Speaker 12: eight page report. Mark Butler, the Health Minister, was the 1681 01:19:47,640 --> 01:19:49,680 Speaker 12: man that came out and talked about, how you know, 1682 01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:52,519 Speaker 12: during the pandemic we weren't ready for it. It was 1683 01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:55,240 Speaker 12: called a forensic assessment. I don't know that it was 1684 01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:59,080 Speaker 12: that forensic. Interestingly, when they commissioned it, they did not 1685 01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:03,519 Speaker 12: ask the people running this investigation into the COVID response 1686 01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:06,599 Speaker 12: what they thought of things like state boarder closures, shut 1687 01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:10,840 Speaker 12: down of schools and playgrounds. But the report itself came 1688 01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:13,599 Speaker 12: out and said, well, that was not a good thing 1689 01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:15,880 Speaker 12: to do. It's eight hundred and sixty eight pages. I 1690 01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:19,759 Speaker 12: should say you noted this report that they closed schools 1691 01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:22,200 Speaker 12: which quote had a significant impact on the mental health 1692 01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:26,600 Speaker 12: of children despite and there's no real criticism in there. Interesting, 1693 01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:30,479 Speaker 12: they are no names about the politicians like Daniel Andrews, 1694 01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:35,640 Speaker 12: like Anastasia Palache, like Mark McGowan in wa no criticism 1695 01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:38,080 Speaker 12: of the way they handled it. What we wanted to 1696 01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:40,360 Speaker 12: know was, you know, should they have been telling us 1697 01:20:40,360 --> 01:20:42,960 Speaker 12: that we couldn't go out of our house at after 1698 01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:45,040 Speaker 12: nine o'clock at night? You can only walk for an 1699 01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:47,600 Speaker 12: hour and with one person? I mean, you know what 1700 01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:50,400 Speaker 12: it did for me when I started reading the assessment 1701 01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:52,639 Speaker 12: of it, it just took me back they did nine years. 1702 01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:55,959 Speaker 2: Got I agree more? Well, the person who ran our pandemic, 1703 01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:58,040 Speaker 2: of course, got a Dame hood out of it and 1704 01:20:58,160 --> 01:21:00,400 Speaker 2: is now sitting at Harvard wandering around the world collecting 1705 01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:03,240 Speaker 2: twenty thirty thousand dollars every times he speaks publicly about it. 1706 01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:05,800 Speaker 2: And you've still got you still got mandates on you. 1707 01:21:07,479 --> 01:21:09,920 Speaker 12: Well, this came out and coincidentally on the day that 1708 01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:12,960 Speaker 12: report came out, So you've got the son of bush 1709 01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:18,000 Speaker 12: fire season about to start and dozens of unvaccinated firefighters 1710 01:21:18,120 --> 01:21:21,439 Speaker 12: are Can you believe this still banned from going to 1711 01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:26,000 Speaker 12: work three years after being stood down without pay? Now 1712 01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:30,559 Speaker 12: that's just extraordinary. Thirty nine operational firefighters and ten other 1713 01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:34,519 Speaker 12: staff who work at Fire Rescue Victoria are still prohibited 1714 01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:38,040 Speaker 12: from working because they're unvaccinated. I mean, that's just ridiculous. 1715 01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:41,800 Speaker 12: It's the last public service agency in Victoria to do that. 1716 01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:45,559 Speaker 12: But when you trust, when you need firefighters, who now 1717 01:21:46,080 --> 01:21:47,840 Speaker 12: asks you if you're vaccinated or not? 1718 01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:50,960 Speaker 2: Exactly? Hey, listen, I mentioned Harald's to you last week, 1719 01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:55,320 Speaker 2: who went into administration, the well known clothing shop Mosaic 1720 01:21:55,439 --> 01:21:57,680 Speaker 2: brands who run they're here as well, of course, and 1721 01:21:57,720 --> 01:21:59,760 Speaker 2: they're running Katies and Millers and non d and all that. 1722 01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:03,800 Speaker 2: They got three thousand employees there into administration. What's your 1723 01:22:03,840 --> 01:22:07,719 Speaker 2: assessment of retail in Australia generally? Are you in trouble? 1724 01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:10,720 Speaker 12: Yeah? I think so. And those two cases are the 1725 01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:15,840 Speaker 12: ones that highlight it most. And that's you know, that's 1726 01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:19,200 Speaker 12: the mid range of clothing retail. So it's not the 1727 01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:21,519 Speaker 12: top well, Harold's at the top end, but what you 1728 01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:24,439 Speaker 12: just mentioned there those other stores are very much mid range. 1729 01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:26,679 Speaker 12: And so it just shows that the economy is still 1730 01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:29,960 Speaker 12: very shaky. People are not going out updating their wardrobe. 1731 01:22:29,960 --> 01:22:32,600 Speaker 12: They can't afford they can't afford to pay their electricity 1732 01:22:32,600 --> 01:22:36,760 Speaker 12: in gas bill. So it comes as no surprise. And interestingly, 1733 01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:40,400 Speaker 12: Jim Charmers the Treasurer Alas Dodger's questions about that, says, oh, well, 1734 01:22:40,439 --> 01:22:43,919 Speaker 12: you know, economy's going okay, we've got a budget surplus. 1735 01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:46,040 Speaker 12: Well that doesn't do any good for anyone who can't 1736 01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:47,080 Speaker 12: afford to put food. 1737 01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:47,360 Speaker 11: On the table. 1738 01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:49,160 Speaker 2: Exactly, all right, mat go well see you next week. 1739 01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:52,000 Speaker 2: Appreciate it very much. Steve Price out of Australia, by 1740 01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:54,360 Speaker 2: the way, just before we leave their Maya, speaking of retail, 1741 01:22:54,479 --> 01:22:56,719 Speaker 2: yesterday signed a nine hundred and fifty million dollar deals 1742 01:22:56,720 --> 01:22:59,320 Speaker 2: so they're bullish. They bought a bunch of Solomon Lose. 1743 01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:02,080 Speaker 2: Solomon Lose amous as a businessman apart from anything, but 1744 01:23:02,160 --> 01:23:06,720 Speaker 2: probably best known here for Peter, Alexander and Smiggle. But 1745 01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:10,839 Speaker 2: he also also known here had just jeans, JJ's Portman's 1746 01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:16,280 Speaker 2: Jackie Dotty. That's the stuff he's sold to Meyer. For 1747 01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:19,799 Speaker 2: the total deals nine hundred million, he collects eighty two million, 1748 01:23:19,840 --> 01:23:22,160 Speaker 2: but they give him shares, and by getting the shares, 1749 01:23:22,200 --> 01:23:24,599 Speaker 2: he ends up on the Meyer board, which I suspect 1750 01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:28,200 Speaker 2: is where he wanted to be. Fourteen away from nine. 1751 01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:32,400 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, Howard 1752 01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:33,440 Speaker 1: By News talks. 1753 01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:35,760 Speaker 2: At b eleven away from Niner Housing, Christis, Mike, is 1754 01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:37,200 Speaker 2: not the wrong time to buy a four point three 1755 01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:39,479 Speaker 2: million dollar house. It's the perfect time. It's probably full 1756 01:23:39,479 --> 01:23:41,160 Speaker 2: and a million bucks. Should we have waited until it 1757 01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:43,559 Speaker 2: went up again to avoid upsetting a few jealous people. 1758 01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:45,640 Speaker 2: I've done well in life shore to walk around in 1759 01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:47,400 Speaker 2: a Hessian shirt. I think the point that Steve was 1760 01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:49,640 Speaker 2: making and Need you're right. I mean it is the 1761 01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:51,760 Speaker 2: right time, at the perfect time. Of course you buy 1762 01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:55,000 Speaker 2: at the bottom. But it's the optics is what he 1763 01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:56,400 Speaker 2: was referring to, not the price of the house. 1764 01:23:56,439 --> 01:23:56,639 Speaker 11: Mike. 1765 01:23:56,720 --> 01:23:58,640 Speaker 2: I did a study in nineteen ninety one on the 1766 01:23:58,680 --> 01:24:01,479 Speaker 2: licensing trusts. It's one of the advantages of having such 1767 01:24:01,479 --> 01:24:04,599 Speaker 2: a large audience. Has anyone don a study on licensing trusts? 1768 01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:06,800 Speaker 2: Who's listening this morning? Oh yes, it turns out to 1769 01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:09,519 Speaker 2: you nineteen ninety one of the licensing trusts. As a 1770 01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:12,439 Speaker 2: largely free marketer, I thought that they would have a 1771 01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:15,960 Speaker 2: limited future, but concluded that without the Masterton wouldn't have 1772 01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:18,599 Speaker 2: the sol Way, Gore wouldn't have the Croydon, and very 1773 01:24:18,640 --> 01:24:21,080 Speaker 2: unlikely that Invercargo would have the Ascot. As many others 1774 01:24:21,120 --> 01:24:23,160 Speaker 2: in the trust controlled provincial New Zealand. So do we 1775 01:24:23,200 --> 01:24:25,720 Speaker 2: send the boot sales profits to Australia and allow our 1776 01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:28,000 Speaker 2: countdown to sell in these areas not so cut and dry. 1777 01:24:28,040 --> 01:24:30,000 Speaker 2: That's a very good point, great insight. By the way. 1778 01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:31,559 Speaker 2: The other thing I was going to raise with Steve, 1779 01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:33,960 Speaker 2: but I can raise with you. And this is my 1780 01:24:34,040 --> 01:24:36,080 Speaker 2: ongoing thing that you know, for all the green grass 1781 01:24:36,080 --> 01:24:38,639 Speaker 2: allegedly that's in Australia and attracting the tens of thousands 1782 01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:40,320 Speaker 2: of New Zealanders to that part of the world, not 1783 01:24:40,360 --> 01:24:43,880 Speaker 2: only as that retail sector. Dyer yesterday, I'm reading about 1784 01:24:43,880 --> 01:24:49,240 Speaker 2: the construction sector boom and bust, zombies, zombie apocalypse Australian 1785 01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:51,960 Speaker 2: and they've got a housing crisis. Housing is much more 1786 01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:53,960 Speaker 2: and we talked about this briefly on the program the 1787 01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:57,240 Speaker 2: other day with people leaving in terms of jobs and 1788 01:24:57,320 --> 01:24:59,760 Speaker 2: trades and stuff like that. Buying a house in a 1789 01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:03,200 Speaker 2: stree Ralia is for many people, especially in the main centre, 1790 01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:07,000 Speaker 2: is prohibitively expensive if you want to mind about it here. 1791 01:25:07,120 --> 01:25:10,000 Speaker 2: It's even worse in Australia and their housing crisis at 1792 01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:12,120 Speaker 2: the moment. The problem is no one can afford to build. 1793 01:25:12,479 --> 01:25:14,679 Speaker 2: The only building going on. There's plenty of cranes about 1794 01:25:14,680 --> 01:25:17,160 Speaker 2: the place, but they're all commercial and there are lots 1795 01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:20,720 Speaker 2: of companies that are in zombie state. Is from KPMG 1796 01:25:20,840 --> 01:25:24,880 Speaker 2: Australia yesterday. The number of ASX listed zombies has spiked 1797 01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:27,160 Speaker 2: from thirty one percent in just six months to ninety 1798 01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:28,840 Speaker 2: four from a ninety four to one hundred and twenty 1799 01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:31,960 Speaker 2: two companies. A zombie company is a company that still trades, 1800 01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:34,320 Speaker 2: so in other words, it hasn't gone bust. It's just 1801 01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:36,639 Speaker 2: they're not doing anything, and they're not doing anything because 1802 01:25:36,640 --> 01:25:38,640 Speaker 2: they can't afford to do anything, whether or not you 1803 01:25:38,960 --> 01:25:42,120 Speaker 2: can't afford to pay the workers, or no one's building 1804 01:25:42,120 --> 01:25:43,960 Speaker 2: houses because they can't afford to pay it on a 1805 01:25:44,040 --> 01:25:48,080 Speaker 2: per square meter basis. So for all of the roast 1806 01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:50,719 Speaker 2: tinted glass viewing that's going on, there's a lot going 1807 01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:56,320 Speaker 2: on wrong in Australia. Currently nine away from nine. 1808 01:25:56,360 --> 01:25:58,240 Speaker 1: The mic costing breakfast with. 1809 01:25:58,400 --> 01:26:01,800 Speaker 2: The Range River Flan like our sun works. In the 1810 01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:05,320 Speaker 2: car industry in Queensland's bottoms dropped out. That's only recent actually, 1811 01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:07,360 Speaker 2: because I followed the car market in Australia. It's been 1812 01:26:07,360 --> 01:26:09,679 Speaker 2: going gangbusters up until the last couple of months. Speaking 1813 01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:13,320 Speaker 2: of Australia. I read dumb yesterday the Office Australia as 1814 01:26:13,320 --> 01:26:16,559 Speaker 2: in the television program the local addition, I must say 1815 01:26:16,600 --> 01:26:19,920 Speaker 2: I saw the promo of it and I thought that 1816 01:26:20,479 --> 01:26:26,160 Speaker 2: looks crap. But then yesterday it's on Prime Video. It's 1817 01:26:26,200 --> 01:26:30,880 Speaker 2: a hit. It's the top show in Australia streaming number 1818 01:26:30,880 --> 01:26:34,680 Speaker 2: one and four other territories, which includes New Zealand, Singapore, 1819 01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:37,639 Speaker 2: top three and thirty seven countries. Around the world, it's 1820 01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:40,280 Speaker 2: in the top five and sixty five countries, and it's 1821 01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:43,040 Speaker 2: the top ten in one hundred and two countries. So 1822 01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:47,800 Speaker 2: they've got themselves a gangbuster. So I started watching it 1823 01:26:47,880 --> 01:26:50,160 Speaker 2: last night, the actually episode, not the promo, and in 1824 01:26:50,200 --> 01:26:54,480 Speaker 2: the first five minutes it was it looked okay. Recommendation 1825 01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:56,479 Speaker 2: take it or leave it. The other one I read yesterday, 1826 01:26:56,479 --> 01:26:58,479 Speaker 2: I read a review and I've seen an episode. My 1827 01:26:58,520 --> 01:27:01,439 Speaker 2: wife has seen more episodes and she's on it. But 1828 01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:06,639 Speaker 2: got four stars yesterday. Rivals. It's based on Jilly Cooper's 1829 01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:11,360 Speaker 2: nineteen eighty eight Rivals book. It's over acted, it's it's 1830 01:27:11,360 --> 01:27:14,240 Speaker 2: set and it's on a television station. It's got David Tennant. 1831 01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:15,200 Speaker 2: It's quite good. 1832 01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:18,400 Speaker 13: You have you been watching Shrinking, she. 1833 01:27:18,479 --> 01:27:20,240 Speaker 2: Does, I don't. I don't find shrinker. 1834 01:27:20,280 --> 01:27:23,320 Speaker 12: I think it's the Seasons, I would say is even 1835 01:27:23,360 --> 01:27:25,400 Speaker 12: more tightly scripted than the first. 1836 01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:27,080 Speaker 6: And it is funnier, I. 1837 01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:29,120 Speaker 2: Think, a more sophisticated than I am. 1838 01:27:29,520 --> 01:27:31,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, A lot of people say that, any. 1839 01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:34,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, and so that's why she likes it. You like it, 1840 01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:38,160 Speaker 2: But I find it just a bit subtle for exactly 1841 01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:40,640 Speaker 2: a lot of people say that she doesn't wish she 1842 01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:43,160 Speaker 2: married you, though, And I think, and that's the problem. 1843 01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:47,120 Speaker 2: I could be wrong. Five minutes away from nine trending. 1844 01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:51,320 Speaker 1: Now with chemist Well's keeping Kiwi's healthy all year round. 1845 01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:53,280 Speaker 2: I think she says she didn't want to marry. Maybe 1846 01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:56,479 Speaker 2: she did. Maybe we all got mixed up. This is CNN. 1847 01:27:56,560 --> 01:27:58,400 Speaker 2: Listen to this. This is a bust up.
