Seven past six, twenty twenty six 13 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,919 Speaker 2: holds the most promise in years. Mike Jones, economist at 14 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 2: the ASP, said that like all numbers men, he's had 15 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 2: to look at the year ahead. How to think about 16 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,919 Speaker 2: what we're in for. Uncertainty is one absolute. Personally, I'm 17 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 2: finding it a mix of fascinating, stimulating and exciting at 18 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 2: the moment, ram I mad The rules globally, of course, 19 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 2: are being rewritten in front of our eyes. Tests of 20 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 2: all sorts of leadership and backbones are being played out daily, 21 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 2: and as an observer at the bottom of the world. 22 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 2: Know there isn't a lot you can do about it, 23 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 2: but boy, it's unreal to watch at the moment, don't 24 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 2: you think. And from what I've learned so far, this 25 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 2: all enhances us as a place of some respite and escape. 26 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 2: I think we're going to be fine. But back to 27 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 2: the year, things basically are looking up. And that is 28 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 2: why you got what you got in the PM State 29 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 2: of the Nation yesterday. Nothing specific. If you read Richard 30 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 2: Prebble's piece which was very good a week or so 31 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 2: back in the Herald, he mentioned the amount of reform 32 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 2: this government is undertaken. And in that observation is your 33 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: answer to the speech. Given all that's going on, all 34 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,839 Speaker 2: that you had to unfold and play out, why would 35 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 2: you need to drop anything new. Say whatever you want 36 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 2: about the Prime Minister, but he's working pretty hard at 37 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 2: being the adult in the room. True to the business background. 38 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 2: This is about the big picture, about decisions, big decisions, 39 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 2: the foundations, the long term deal. The foundations have or 40 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,559 Speaker 2: are being put in place. The election is about showing 41 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 2: us some results. That's where the Jones observation comes in. 42 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 2: And also to remind us that professionals hold the reins 43 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 2: and this is all going to pay off over the 44 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 2: next period of time. Whether enough of it is evident 45 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 2: to your average voter is of course what makes this 46 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 2: year gripping. As always, there will be no shortage those 47 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 2: telling us you what mess, it's all gone wrong and 48 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 2: only they can help. But the key to the speech 49 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 2: yesterday was the fact that there were no lollies, no enticements, 50 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 2: for they would have been seen surely as signs of 51 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 2: panic bribery. And election year is the surest indicator that the 52 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 2: people who run the joint of freaking out. The speech yesterday, 53 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 2: with its outline, its vision, its reassurance, it's a good 54 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 2: sign they feel good about the direction of travel as well. 55 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 2: They might from manufacturing to confidence to GDP. As Jones says, 56 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: twenty six holds the most promise in years. 57 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 3: Wow, news of the world in ninety seconds. 58 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 2: So we begin with record amounts of anks around Greenland's 59 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 2: The key has been rolled out to try his best. 60 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 4: Any decision about the future status of Greenland belongs to 61 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 4: the people of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark alone. 62 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 4: The use of tariffs against allies is completely wrong. 63 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: In Darbos, where all the money lovees gather this time 64 00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 2: of year. Of course the IMF, they're trying hard to 65 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 2: run the old free trade line. 66 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 5: Increasing tariffs is something that will hurt both the country 67 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 5: that is putting the tariffs on, as we've seen as 68 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 5: have just discuabed for the case of the US, of course, 69 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 5: it's also hurning other countries. 70 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 2: But as the red of the lib dims, if it's 71 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 2: tried bazooka time, then how about we grow up. 72 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 6: I was a bit disappointed by the Prime Minister at 73 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 6: its prefit conference when he took retality tariffs off the table. 74 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 6: The only wants them, but we need to work with 75 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 6: our European allies they've kept on the table. That's the 76 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 6: sort of language that Trump might listen to. 77 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 2: Tied into all of us through the revelation that Trumpy 78 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 2: went ballistic after we got a letter from Norway oversee 79 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 2: tariffs and all of a sudden peace and nobills or 80 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 2: the back of them, and what's really important. 81 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 7: Considering your country decided not to give me the Nobel 82 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 7: Peace Prize for having stopped eight wars plus I no 83 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 7: longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace. Denmark 84 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 7: cannot protect that land from Russia or China. And why 85 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 7: do they have a right of ownership Anyway, it's only 86 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 7: their boat landed there hundreds of years ago. 87 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 2: Meantime, in London, US American relations have never bitter. Speaker 88 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 2: Johnson meet speak of oil. You know a special relationship. 89 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 2: We've got to make it a. 90 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 3: Very special relationship. 91 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 2: Oh we've got a tribe double. 92 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 8: Speaking of a very special relationship. I like that. 93 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 9: That's a good theme. 94 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 10: I'm going to pick up. 95 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 2: So it's an important time, right, yes, yes, yes, Then 96 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 2: to this train disaster and Spain, the PM's travel to 97 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 2: the site and done what PM's do. 98 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 3: Missmo Momento. 99 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 11: I think from the very moment when it's tragedy occurred, 100 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 11: the government has acted as it should do, inunity and 101 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 11: a coordinated fashion and with loyalty. 102 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 2: And that was news of the world in ninety I 103 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 2: begain to by the way. I think I started talking 104 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 2: about this before I left for the holiday, so it's 105 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 2: been going on a while. Anyway, they got around to 106 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,679 Speaker 2: the presidential vote. I use the word vote really loosely. Anyway, 107 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 2: Miss seventy who was running the place, is going to 108 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 2: be running the place against seventy percent of the voters 109 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 2: and He's got seventy five percent of the actual vote 110 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 2: from seventy percent. Bobby Wine, who was against him. I 111 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 2: think he was a singer once. Anyway, they randed him up. 112 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 2: He's just that's how it goes in You again did 113 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 2: twelve past six. 114 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: The mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, followed 115 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: by News Talks EB. 116 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 2: Now, the good news is Syria's cutter deal. There's a 117 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 2: peace deal. The immediate nationwide ceasefire they've been scrapping with 118 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 2: the SDF, which is the Kurdish led Syrian Democratic Forces 119 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 2: of the government be the forces a couple of weeks 120 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 2: of fighting, a fourteen point plan. The Americans are involved, 121 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 2: so Trump will probably say that's war number nine. I 122 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 2: don't know, but any ideals a deal fourteen passed. 123 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 3: Well, I went to my brother from. 124 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 2: Breg Smith morning to you Morning to Mike. Five percent 125 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 2: from China. Do we like that or not? 126 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 12: Well, the headline number was pretty good, being in line 127 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 12: with the gunment's target, But yeah, I think just some 128 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 12: question marks over the quality and yeah, particularly what it 129 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 12: was driven by. So exports. They accounted for the largest 130 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 12: year of growth since nineteen eight ninety seven record one 131 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 12: point two trillion dollar trade. Sip plet's that way, it's 132 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 12: too well of the White House. And yeah, the domestic 133 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 12: story pretty weak. So Chinese stocks actually finished the session 134 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 12: fairly flat, which gives you a bit. 135 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 9: Bit of a clue. 136 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 12: So just looking below the headline number, growth slowed in 137 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 12: the December quarter four and a half percent. That was 138 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 12: the weakest since post COVID reopening. Industrial output that was 139 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 12: a good story. There was up five point nine percent, 140 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,799 Speaker 12: that's the strongest since twenty twenty one. Five percent December line, 141 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 12: but retail sales are just three point seven percent high 142 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 12: for the year. They've been trying to obviously increased household demand, 143 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 12: it's not quite working. Consumers still under pressure from the 144 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 12: housing slump. Speaking of that, property investment that was down 145 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 12: seventeen percent. So the Malaysia is not really getting any better, 146 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,239 Speaker 12: no real sign of recovery. John Markett's still relatively weak 147 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 12: in deflation if you look at the nominal growth just 148 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 12: four percent, So deflation for the third straight years. So 149 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 12: I suppose in addition to the quality Mike, you know, 150 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 12: there's I suppose investors are wondering when this stimnus Berzuk 151 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 12: is going to come. But it appears positive makers are 152 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 12: choosing stability over stimulus. I don't want another property bubble 153 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 12: or igniting that and blowing out debts. So I suppose 154 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 12: that's the big risk here. And also that demand at 155 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 12: home is going to remain weak, and that means that 156 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 12: Chinese firms are going to pursue exports more aggressively, and 157 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 12: that's not going to sit well with the US and Europe. 158 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 2: No, it is not speaking of China to say two things. Interesting. 159 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 2: So the birth rate's down. A two's on hold, Yeah, 160 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 2: that's yeah for sure. 161 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 12: So that the birth rate was a question actually over 162 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 12: what the announcement was going to come from. Sort of 163 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 12: A two just went to a training hold in Australia. Anyway, 164 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 12: not much really happened here, but yeah, the shares were 165 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 12: down significantly on the day, down ten percent. So birth 166 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 12: rate fell to its lowest since nineteen forty nine. China 167 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 12: is the largest market for A two and it's the 168 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 12: fourth largest brand there, so it certainly has a big impact. 169 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 12: Seven point nine million babies that was down seventeen percent 170 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 12: on the years. It was much worse than expected. A 171 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 12: number of births per thousand people that's five point six 172 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 12: that's the lowest since the founding of the People's Republic. 173 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 12: So Beijing's obviously been trying to get people to have kids, 174 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 12: rolling out subseeds that's not really working. Of course, they 175 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 12: abandoned those birth controls, as most people would know back 176 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:19,679 Speaker 12: in twenty sixteen. But yeah, changing views on marriage, education, rapidabilization, 177 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 12: also just higher cost of raising children, so we did 178 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 12: see a bit of a false dam I suppose the 179 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 12: Year of the Dragon twenty twenty four things got a 180 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 12: bit exciting in terms of birth rates, but that looks 181 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 12: now to be a bit of an outlier. So yeah, 182 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 12: a fewer babies, tougher industry for infant milk. I suppose 183 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 12: one positive if we want to look flip it and 184 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 12: look at it that way for a two. Yeah, the 185 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,839 Speaker 12: birth rate's been a week for some time, stripping out 186 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 12: twenty twenty four, and they'll be taking market share they've 187 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 12: been posishing themselves as a premium offering. And also marriages 188 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 12: actually rose in twenty twenty five, so that's one positive. 189 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 12: That's up around about ten percent year on year in China. 190 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 12: That's as you would expect a leading indicator for birth. 191 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 12: So maybe we get avery in twenty twenty six. But 192 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 12: I guess the real question are we going to have 193 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 12: persistently low birth rates? Is just something structural really relevant 194 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 12: to A two and a bit of a lagger as well. 195 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 12: Most their products are for kids six months plus, so 196 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 12: A two have been pretty tight lit. We might have 197 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 12: to wait till the results in MIDFIEB are expected to 198 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 12: be good. But let's see, right, I need the numbers 199 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 12: very good. 200 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 2: Okay. 201 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 12: The youth markets are closed for Martin Luther King Junior Day, 202 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 12: so not much happening there, but the rest of it's 203 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 12: pretty weak. FOOTS one hundred down point four percent, ten 204 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 12: one nine eight stocks fifty in Europe down one point 205 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 12: six percent.

He needs to be more energy. 251 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 2: He was in a big room and the audience were 252 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 2: either bored or boring, or accommodation of both one or 253 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 2: the other. It was low key. The whole thing was 254 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 2: low key, and he had a good message to sell, 255 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 2: but by the end of the speech is seemingly run 256 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 2: out a puff, you know, physically run out a puff. 257 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 2: He needs to sell himself more.

It never ceases to 326 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 2: irritate me.

It's 328 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 2: the first thing I thought up at three o'clock this morning. 329 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 2: I thought, this is ridiculous. So the claimers there is 330 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 2: a twelve percent increase in teacher vacancies, what does that mean? 331 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 2: In fact, the number of vacancies around the country of 332 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 2: the home is only four hundred, which in a profession 333 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 2: of tens of thousands.

Before that we go to a very 336 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 2: angsty Europe Greenland of course, as well as Darbus Catherine Field. 337 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 2: Shortly twenty three to seven the news from the energy sector. 338 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 2: I think it's a good use of US oil and 339 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 2: gas company jet X has applied for a permit to 340 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 2: extract cold seam gas near Huntley. Meantime, in Taranaki, the 341 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 2: Australian based z ener they've lodged an application for an 342 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 2: offical petroleumpermit. Now John Carnegie is, of course the chief 343 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 2: executive Energy Resources are to her back with us with 344 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 2: the new year. John morning, Good morning, Mike. Is this 345 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 2: a go at last? Is this the sort of the 346 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 2: tangibles we've been waiting for? 347 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 15: Well, Mike, look, this is what a restart of an 348 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 15: industry looks like. Small players, tentative steps, stipping their toes 349 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 15: back in the water here. But we do need to 350 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 15: be honest. Restarting an entire sector is going to be 351 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 15: hard work. But it is great to see companies like 352 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 15: jet X and nxet Energy coming forward, and for reasons 353 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 15: we all know our sector is now concentrated at the 354 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 15: mature end of the pipeline, and what we're now seeing 355 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 15: is rebuilding a pipeline of prospects for the future, and 356 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 15: that means new entrants, new work programs, and new possibilities. 357 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 2: It's funny hours too. I was reading about the Taranaki 358 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 2: side of the equation, so that we know that what 359 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 2: happens under the rules. Correct me if I'm wrong, as 360 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 2: you apply, say I want to do this, They then 361 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 2: go right. Is there anybody else who wants to have 362 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 2: a crack. Nobody did. Now MB's going to have a 363 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 2: look at the environment, all that sort of stuff. Is 364 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 2: that process workable, doable, sensible and that's where we want 365 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 2: to be heading. 366 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 15: Look, I think it's signals that New Zealand is open 367 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 15: for business again because it now balances a first come, 368 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 15: first served approach with the potential for a competitive bid. 369 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 15: So if you think there's opportunity there, you've got a 370 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 15: clear window to come in and put your money behind 371 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 15: a strong work program and compete on merit. And so, 372 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 15: as you said, Chief X is now in a three 373 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 15: month competitive window where the race is wide open to 374 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,479 Speaker 15: provide the best work program. 375 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 2: I can't work out. So this is good news. These 376 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 2: guys are actually tangible, They're really here, they want to 377 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 2: do business. Is this that or will there are others 378 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 2: looking at going, well these guys go, I can go 379 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 2: as well. And is the government's two hundred million dollars 380 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 2: skin in the game thing? Is that part of the equation? 381 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 15: Well, given the damaged state of the industry, Mike, I'm 382 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 15: actually happy to see any investor with confidence in both 383 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 15: the future of the sector and the contribution that they 384 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 15: can make to New Zealand's economic prosperity and energy security. 385 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 15: And look as whether there will be any other applicants, 386 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 15: We'll just have to wait and see. But what actually 387 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 15: would help is to have politicians stop treating gas producers 388 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 15: and uses like political footballs. 389 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 18: Correct. 390 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 2: What's your vibe on gas and oil? After I read 391 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 2: another article over the holiday period that suggested from one 392 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,479 Speaker 2: of the power companies, Hydros the future if you want 393 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 2: to run things, hydros your answer, as opposed to looking 394 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 2: for something that is increasingly hard to find. 395 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 15: We need to stop having binary, one dimensional conversations in 396 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 15: the energy sector, Mike. I think what we do need 397 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 15: is we need diversity of fuel types and technology types. 398 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 15: And it's widely acknowledged both across right across the energy 399 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 15: sector that natural guests will continue to play a vital 400 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 15: role in maintaining New Zealand's affordable and secure energy good. 401 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 2: Just while I've got you and I have no idea 402 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 2: whether this is a new wheelhouse or not, this NDP 403 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 2: goal merger, is that materially going to change the landscape 404 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 2: for me filling my car? 405 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 15: Yeah? Look, I mean I'm not quite sure about that, Mike. 406 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 15: My guess is that the investors have decided that don't 407 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 15: be able to make operational efficiencies, so at least it 408 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 15: would place some downward pressure on fuel prices. 409 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 2: All right, let's see how it goes. Nice to catch up, John, 410 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 2: go well, we'll catch up during the year. John Knigi, 411 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 2: who's the boss of Energy Resources? Are to your right? Yes, Greenland? 412 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 2: What are we going to do? Is it going to 413 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 2: make any difference at Davos? And how angsty is Europe? 414 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 2: Catherine shortly nineteen two. 415 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 416 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: by News Talks. 417 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,640 Speaker 2: It be, Mike, why aren't we building more dams? They're 418 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 2: reliable and green? Seems ridiculous. We wouldn't. Well, I can 419 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 2: answer that question because the last dam we built was 420 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 2: behind time and over budget by some considerable margin, and 421 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 2: getting anything done in this country up until recently has 422 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 2: been a nightmare. But nevertheless, do look up an article 423 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 2: a Prince a moment ago. Mike rhones his name. He's 424 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 2: the Meridian chief executive appears on the program periodically. Anyway. 425 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 2: He was featured in an article about a week ago, 426 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 2: maybe a bit more in the Herald Meridian. Boss backs 427 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 2: more hydro after the twenty twenty four winter price shock. 428 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 2: A couple of things came out of that that I 429 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 2: found interesting. One, he's all about hydro, and I was 430 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 2: thinking it was all very well to be all about hydro, 431 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 2: but we're not a country that's into building stuff of 432 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 2: that size and quality anymore. He thinks. He talks about Poukhack, 433 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 2: which I find interesting. He wants to somehow extend that 434 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 2: to sort of onslow it, make it a bucket. But 435 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 2: he also says that that deal they've done at Huntley, 436 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 2: which is the irony of the article. The deal they've 437 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 2: done at Huntley, this is coal of course, between all 438 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 2: of the power companies, solves our problem. So this business 439 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 2: of being in winter and having no power, that's now, 440 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,479 Speaker 2: he says, solved. So I was very reassured by that. 441 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 2: So whether we ever get around to it's like retirement, 442 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 2: isn't it. We'll talk about that later as well. It's 443 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 2: like the young we've got to solve the retirement problem. 444 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 2: Here we go again. It's like, well we've got to 445 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 2: build more hydro. Damns we I mean, there are some 446 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 2: things we can do. Some things we just keep talking about. 447 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 19: Six forty five International correspondence with ENSI eye insurance, peace 448 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 19: of mind for New Zealand business. 449 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 2: Catherine Field, how are you. 450 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 20: I'm wonderful, Thank you very much. Mike, welcome back. 451 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 2: Thank you very much. It's a pleasure to be back 452 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 2: and to hear your glorious voice. Now, my thinking on 453 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 2: this from the other side of the world is, I 454 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 2: know you're all angsty, and I know what Trump's like 455 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 2: and all that stuff, but he's not invading Greenland. He's 456 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 2: not going to buy it. Something eventually will be sorted. 457 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 2: Do you agree, Well, the bullers. 458 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,959 Speaker 20: In the China shop, let's put it that way. And 459 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 20: no one knows quite what to do. This has been 460 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 20: coming for a long time. The EU still can't agree 461 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 20: on what it needs to do. They have really split. 462 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 20: The Germans are very clear that what needs to be 463 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 20: done is the hind closed door. Be more combative, but 464 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 20: in public, be more conciliatory. French President Emmanuel Macron says, hey, no, 465 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 20: this has gone too far. Let's use the what they're 466 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 20: calling the bazooka, which is imposed a one hundred and 467 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 20: ninety billion New Zealand dollar limit worth of tariffs on 468 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,719 Speaker 20: the Americans and put into play. Spot's called an anti 469 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 20: coercion instrument which would shut off American companies from the 470 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 20: EU Single Market, so that means American companies would not 471 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 20: have access to five hundred million consumers, it would limit 472 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 20: trade licenses, and they wouldn't be able to get involved 473 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 20: in public procurement. But they can't agree on that at 474 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 20: the moment. So what we're all looking for, Mike is Wednesday, 475 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,959 Speaker 20: the big day. Everyone's going to be in DeVos, hoping 476 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 20: to get that chance to buttonhole the US President Donald Trump, 477 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 20: to say to him this has got to stop. We're 478 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 20: determined you can't go on like this. But of course 479 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 20: we've been done this before. Trump just keeps ramping up 480 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 20: the pressure, and of course there's going to be that 481 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 20: big US presidence at Davos, you've got Secretary of State, 482 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 20: Treasury Commerce. But certainly now, Mike, I have to say, 483 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 20: everyone's holding their breath wondering how much further can this escalate? 484 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 2: And where does this leave NATO? If Trump does whatever 485 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 2: Trump means up doing with Greenland, what happens with. 486 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 20: NATO, Well, NATO can actually survive without the US. It's 487 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 20: just going to be a lot more expensive because NATO 488 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 20: members would have to really quickly buy lots of equipment. 489 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 20: I think the thing you have to remember, Mike, is 490 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 20: NATO has a framework, it's got a command structure, it's 491 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 20: got a doctrine, it's got a way of doing business 492 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,919 Speaker 20: that's been built up over what seventy five years, so 493 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 20: they could still work out that way. So it's a 494 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,959 Speaker 20: very successful military alliance. If it does disappear, it will 495 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 20: go done in history. Is one that kept the piece 496 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 20: for many generations. Thirty two member states, so it will 497 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 20: have to up its game again. We're looking at the 498 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 20: problem of how do you get tough with Trump without 499 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 20: having him just walk away from the Ukraine peace process. 500 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 21: That's the problem. 501 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 20: However, in the last couple of hours, the French President 502 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 20: of Manual Macron has told his cabinet, the big cabinet 503 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 20: meeting at the LUSA Palace and I'm quoting here, to 504 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 20: be free, you have to be feared. We weren't feared enough. 505 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 2: No, okay, Well we'll see what happens over the next 506 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 2: couple of days. I guess by the way that Louver robbery. 507 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 2: But they found anything of anything happened to that? 508 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 20: No, nothing, Actually, that's still got four suspects and custody. 509 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 20: It would seem that they're not talking the original suggestion 510 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 20: that this was just an opportunist heist, since we've been 511 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 20: going out the window because of the way those four 512 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 20: actually operated afterwards, abandoned their scooters for a van, knew 513 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 20: where to change to from their scooters to a van 514 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,479 Speaker 20: an area that didn't have closed circuit TV, and they 515 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 20: still haven't found the jewels. 516 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 2: Good to catch up, Katherine Catherine Field back next Tuesday. 517 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,360 Speaker 2: Of course. The other thing I note in that particular 518 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 2: part of the world is reading over the holidays, Algeria's 519 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 2: parliament unanimously passed a law declaring France's colonization of their 520 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 2: country are a crime, and they want an apology and 521 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 2: they want reparations. So we'll see where that goes. The letter, 522 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 2: by the way, Visa v. Trump and Greenland and Norway 523 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 2: and the prize, we're a big baby Norway wrote to them. 524 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 2: They didn't even say anything. Pactor Big said, I'll read 525 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 2: you the letter. In the moment ten to seven, the. 526 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: Mic Hosking breakfast with Bailey's Real Estate News dogs, they'd. 527 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 2: Be dear mister President, dear Donald on this from a 528 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 2: guy called Store who's the Prime Minister of agreement on 529 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 2: the contact across the Atlantic, on Greenland, Gaza, Ukraine and 530 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 2: your tariff announcement yesterday. You know our position on these issues, 531 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 2: but we believe we should all work to take this 532 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 2: down and de escalate. So much is happening around us 533 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 2: where we need to stand together. We are proposing a 534 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 2: call you later today with both of us or separately, 535 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 2: give us a hint of what you prefer best. Alex 536 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 2: and Jonas. Alex is short for the Alexander Stubb who's 537 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 2: the president of Finland, and from that came his spray 538 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 2: about it's not about peace and we don't need to 539 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 2: do this and that and anymore. He's unhinged. There's no 540 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 2: question about the fact he's unhinged. See an n poll 541 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 2: this morning, six percent of Americans are satisfied with the 542 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 2: Epstein thing. I got bored witless by the Epstein thing. Personally. 543 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 2: I don't think there's anything in it. And the problem 544 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 2: with it is in the Democrats have blown this for 545 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 2: themselves because they keep releasing those stupid photos. And you 546 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 2: saw Clinton in a spa pool and you think, oh, 547 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 2: Clinton a spar Paul. But once you got past the 548 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 2: fact that Clinton, he's a grub and he's in a 549 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 2: spar pool. There's no crime. Where's the smoking gun? You 550 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 2: can release photos of people and names and things that 551 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 2: get blue in the face. Where's the smoking gun? And 552 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 2: of course, given that there are millions of these bits 553 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 2: of paper, I mean, then Trump made it worse for 554 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 2: himself by saying they can release them all. When we're 555 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 2: expected to see them all released, they weren't. About one 556 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 2: percent has been released. Now they've commandeered every man and 557 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 2: his dog in the department to oversee all the redactions 558 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 2: that they need to make. So nothing's happening quickly, and 559 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 2: people are getting frustrated. And the next thing you know, 560 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 2: you get a poll that just six percent of Americans 561 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,880 Speaker 2: are satisfied with how much has been released sixteen percent. 562 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 2: So the government is making an effort, but it's one 563 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 2: of those classic scenarios where no one's winner. It's just 564 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 2: a big mess. Five minutes away from seven well. 565 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 3: The ins and the outs. 566 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,360 Speaker 1: It's the FIARZ with business fiber take your business productivity 567 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: to the next level. 568 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,679 Speaker 2: Back to the movies from the animated records that were 569 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 2: told you about about half an hour ago to the 570 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 2: year ahead twenty five was okay, Actually, twenty twenty five 571 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,719 Speaker 2: could be a springboard for twenty six. So numbers out 572 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 2: of the US and Canada ticket sales were up four 573 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 2: percent last year. That's good. So they pulled in fifteen 574 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 2: point six billion. Disney made up twenty seven percent of that, 575 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 2: Warner's twenty one percent, Universal nineteen. That Netflix thing is interesting, 576 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 2: isn't it. Warner Brothers, Netflix, et cetera. We're interested to 577 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 2: see where that goes. Anyway, where was I Warner Brothers 578 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,360 Speaker 2: twenty one Universe or nineteen Smaller Players, Sony, Paramount, lions Gate. 579 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,679 Speaker 2: They all had single digit slices of the market. Analysts 580 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 2: reckon this year it will be easily eclipsed their words 581 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 2: from twenty five. So twenty six bit in the twenty 582 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 2: five easily. Why Well, the big boys are out Disney, 583 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 2: they've got a new Star Wars, They've got Toy Story five, 584 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 2: they've got another Mowana, another installment of the Avengers franchise. 585 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,120 Speaker 2: Other studios are going to be releasing a new Spider Man, 586 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 2: Dune Part three, Minions three, the third Jamanshi film is 587 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 2: coming out. So all of that leads to a very 588 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 2: good box officer. I watched one movie over the holidays, 589 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 2: and it was F one and that had a lot 590 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 2: of hype around it. And I'm not sure whether the 591 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 2: hype came only from the F one people, because they 592 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 2: were so heavily involved in the movie, co directed or 593 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 2: produced or whatever you call it. By Bruckhamer did it, 594 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,239 Speaker 2: but Lewis Hamilton was involved, and they had a lot 595 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 2: of the F one actual F one circus, and they're right, 596 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 2: the cutting of the splicing of Brad's car with the 597 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 2: real cars, the racing around the tracks, all that sort 598 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 2: of stuff brilliantly done. Lord knows how long it took 599 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 2: in the editing suite. But as for the movie itself, 600 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 2: what a load of crap, What a glorious waste of time, money, 601 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 2: and energy. And I just I really felt wet and 602 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 2: dirty at the end of it. High Way. 603 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 14: I had no idea that you could just sort of 604 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 14: wander in to race day at any given GP and 605 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 14: decide I'm going to race today. 606 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 2: And the fact that he expected you to believe that, 607 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 2: and that Brad at his age could do that and 608 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 2: far less go on to win. Oh I spoiled it. 609 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 2: I spoiled it. He went on to win anyway, really 610 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 2: what a waste of time. Jobs teaches a lot of them. 611 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 2: But here's the good news from my reading this morning, 612 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 2: I've actually solved the teacher shortage problems. So that's good 613 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 2: because Erica Stanford is but moments. 614 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 3: Away credible, compelling. 615 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: The breakfast Oh you can't best it's the mic asking 616 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: breakfast with Bailey's real Estate doing real estate differently since 617 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three, news togs had been only. 618 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 2: Seven past seven. So we're back in the teacher shortage business. 619 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,479 Speaker 2: We've got four hundred and forty five jobs currently vacant. Now, 620 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 2: depending on how you read these things, and this is 621 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 2: the key to the story or lack of story, are 622 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 2: that's twelve percent up on last year. But is four 623 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 2: hundred odd jobs, which is what it is in a 624 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 2: sector with literally thousands of one thousands of them? Is 625 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 2: that a thing? Seventy five percent of these jobs, by 626 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 2: the way, are in the North Island, Auckland's heavily represented. 627 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 2: Maths and physics. Are your problems? Erica Stanford Education Minister 628 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 2: back with us. Morning, Good morning, Mike, Hi, I'm well, 629 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 2: happy new year to you. Now four forty five is 630 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 2: this the thing? Is a union press release. 631 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 22: Well, the unions are certainly going hard at the moment. 632 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 22: It's not really the correct figures to look at. Every 633 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 22: year we release the teacher supply numbers, which the Ministry 634 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 22: of Education go around the country and are extraordinarily accurate. 635 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 22: We know it by region for the first time last 636 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 22: year rather than just overall, and we'll get that in 637 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 22: the next month or so. It's not very accurate just 638 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 22: to look at the vacancy rate this year compared to 639 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 22: last year, because they may not be and they mostly 640 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 22: are not full time roles. So four hundred and fifty 641 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 22: vacancies does not mean four hundred and fifty classrooms without teachers. 642 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 22: Some of those could be for a part time teacher. 643 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 22: But the important thing to remember is I would have 644 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 22: expected this time of the year, right now, and certainly 645 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 22: this year, for there to be a higher vacancy rate 646 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 22: because we have funded in this year's budget a huge 647 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 22: amount of more support teachers one hundred and forty three 648 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 22: maths intervention teachers and other seventy eight literacy intervention teachers 649 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 22: and two hundred and sixteen learning support coordinators, so they 650 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 22: will all be advertised right now for this coming year. 651 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 22: So I expected there to be a smaller increase. 652 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 2: Okay, do we have a problem or not. 653 00:31:55,640 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 22: We certainly have a problem in certain regions. Overall, we 654 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 22: know that, you know, for example, in Northland, we have 655 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 22: a teacher supply problem. But it's why we need to 656 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 22: wait for these detailed numbers that come out from the 657 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 22: Ministry to see exactly where the problems are. They can 658 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 22: be very localized. But we have invested extraordinarily heavily and 659 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 22: to teacher supply in the last two years. I mean 660 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 22: the on site teacher training program. We've boosted the numbers 661 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 22: by six hundred and the first budget and then another 662 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,719 Speaker 22: five hundred and thirty and the second budget. We're training 663 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 22: up principles in our Principal Leadership program. We're paying teacher 664 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 22: registration fees that got hundreds of teachers back into the workforce. 665 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 18: In the last year. 666 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 22: So we've done a huge amount and it's paying off 667 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 22: because last year we saw that what two and a 668 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 22: half percent more teachers are in the workforce, thirty percent 669 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 22: increase on teachers who are training, So the numbers are 670 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 22: for the future are looking really good. But that doesn't 671 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 22: mean we don't have a you know, still have a 672 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 22: bit of a sticky problem in certain regions at the moment. 673 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 22: But we're doing everything we can, including regional boost programs 674 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 22: and all. 675 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 2: Sorts of that training thing. Is that solving the problem 676 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 2: long term? In other words, are people wanting to be teachers? 677 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 2: Because I'm just reading this morning and here's my good 678 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 2: news for you. There's people in Scotland can't get work. 679 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 2: So the teachers in Scotland, they're on the waiting list 680 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 2: for years. There are lack of permanent jobs. They're leaving 681 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 2: the country. So there are teachers out there. Do we 682 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 2: need to bring them in or train them? 683 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 22: We need to a bit of both. And we've always 684 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 22: said that, I mean, we'd love training our own. And 685 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 22: we are training, as I say, thirty percent more this 686 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 22: year than we were last year, which is a huge increase. 687 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 22: But we know in places like Northern Ireland, we know 688 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 22: in Finland, and we know in Scotland that they have 689 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 22: an oversupply of primary school teachers especially And we pay 690 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 22: a relocation fee of ten thousand dollars and we also 691 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 22: offer straight to residence pathways which we just changed, rather 692 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 22: than a two year work to residence. So we are 693 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 22: pulling out all of the stops to make sure that 694 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 22: we're doing everything we can to get teachers and quality 695 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 22: teachers in front of students. 696 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 2: All right, appreciate your time, Erica Stanford, Education Minister, eleven 697 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 2: minutes past seven. It's still a bit of verbal over 698 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 2: the profits an interest rates. So Amzida bumped bumped asn't 699 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 2: hiked their floating rates. So in today bed cunning in 700 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 2: these Squirrel mortgages, boss who suggests that that will add 701 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 2: twelve million to the bank's bottom line. He's the CEO 702 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 2: of Squirrel, of course, and he's with as David morning, 703 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,760 Speaker 2: Hello mate, trick hereers do others follow? 704 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 16: Well, no, because all pan zeb was doing was adjusting 705 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,759 Speaker 16: upwards to where other banks were. It was almost like 706 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 16: they misstepped and went a little bit far and hooks well, 707 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 16: others are higher. So in this extremely competitive banking market, 708 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:31,879 Speaker 16: let's match everyone else. 709 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,320 Speaker 2: So that's not that's not a goopoly. That's a scandal. 710 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,799 Speaker 2: That's that's into the Minister of Finance to fix the 711 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,359 Speaker 2: competition problem. Or is it. 712 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,959 Speaker 16: Well, well, no, it's it's it's not a scandal. It's 713 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 16: just the way the banking system and ologopolies work. You know, 714 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 16: they gravitate to the same to the same price. And 715 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 16: you had the Azz on your show last year last year, 716 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 16: and as she said, you know you put your price down. 717 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 16: If one matches, you put your broth down. Again, everyone matches, 718 00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,280 Speaker 16: and it's a race to the bottom and no one wins. 719 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 16: So why Bob was almost implication who wins the banks? 720 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,839 Speaker 16: Who loses the customer? So as a customer, you've got 721 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:06,439 Speaker 16: to play the game. 722 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 2: Who's in floating? 723 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 16: Anyway, about ten percent of all the balances of home 724 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 16: loans are in New Zealand. In New Zealander so sitt 725 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,319 Speaker 16: A close to four hundred billion of home loans, so 726 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:20,399 Speaker 16: about ten percent is forty billion, so everyone's often people 727 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 16: have a better on floating for flexibility the bulk on 728 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,839 Speaker 16: fix than when your fixed rate finishes, you're automatically roll 729 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 16: for floating. So that happened to me last year, my 730 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 16: own roll to floating. I forgot and suddenly I was 731 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 16: paying one and a half percent more. 732 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 2: You forgot. So you're the heat of David. You're the 733 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,320 Speaker 2: head of Squirrel Mortgages and you're not in charge of 734 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 2: your own mortgage. 735 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 16: Well, you know it does your life talking to you 736 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 16: and others, but you know this is what happens, and 737 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,320 Speaker 16: so you know that bolsters bank profits because here's the 738 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 16: think like the floating rates five seventy nine, the one 739 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 16: you fixed rates four point four to nine. Simple question, 740 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 16: why it's just a bolstering bank profit. So you add 741 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 16: up to that forty billion sorry, yeah, forty billion, and 742 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 16: multiplier by one, you know, one point three percent. You're 743 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 16: talking set of five hundred million. 744 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 2: Of the scalability. If I look at the number and 745 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 2: go zero point one, I go, what do I care? 746 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,919 Speaker 2: But when you do it tens of thousands of times. 747 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 2: But that's where your twelve million comes from. And that's 748 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,280 Speaker 2: why it bankspect the money they do right. 749 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 16: Exactly, and it's probably about twenty five dollars each year 750 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 16: for a few hundreds of thousands of people. And that's 751 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 16: that's the secret. And banking is it a little bit here, 752 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,840 Speaker 16: multiplied by many people. And mostly it's an electronic system 753 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 16: these days. So yeah, you costs don't go up, but yeah, you. 754 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 3: Know your revenue does. 755 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:33,280 Speaker 18: So welcome to banking. 756 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 2: Oligopley always good to talk to you, David go Well, 757 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,799 Speaker 2: David Cunningham, who's the boss of Squirrel Mortgages. By the way, 758 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 2: when was I reading one route the other day. Lending 759 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,800 Speaker 2: rose nineteen percent in November. These are the latest numbers, 760 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,800 Speaker 2: nineteen percent in November. So that's eight point eight billion 761 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 2: dollars of new mortgages, which seems to indicate that the 762 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 2: housing market is at least got a little bit of 763 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:55,760 Speaker 2: life into it. Fourteen past seven. 764 00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: The Like Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on Hard Radio 765 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 1: powered by News Talks. 766 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,240 Speaker 2: Ad Be Blair Chuks back with us after eight o'clock 767 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,320 Speaker 2: this morning. The second round of the sailing is coming 768 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 2: our way after the weekend and Perth, of course, I 769 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:12,759 Speaker 2: assume he picked up all the bits of boat that 770 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 2: were left in the water and bluing them back together 771 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 2: or whatever they do these days. Would that been anyway? 772 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 2: That's still to come. Sixteen past seven, So housing that's 773 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 2: going to be part of the election year debate. Of course. 774 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,720 Speaker 2: Now the government appear to have read the room. In Auckland. 775 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,879 Speaker 2: They're about to backtrack on what they call Plan one 776 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 2: twenty basically as the council has to plan. They were 777 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 2: made to plan for up to two million homes. Troy 778 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:36,360 Speaker 2: Churton is the Iraqi Local Board member and Planning Portfolio lead. Troy, 779 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 2: good morning to you. What am I I never understood 780 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 2: and I don't want to bore the rest of the 781 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,440 Speaker 2: country with Auckland's many and varied problems, but I never 782 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 2: understood how the government thought that going two million houses 783 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:48,319 Speaker 2: wouldn't freak people out. 784 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 23: No, I don't think many Aucklanders understood why Minister Bishop 785 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 23: and lower Hut would have led such a campaign. But 786 00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:00,319 Speaker 23: what I think Aucklanders do appreciate and was create of 787 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 23: the government to recently indicate that it might look at 788 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,880 Speaker 23: reviewing this, was that that PC two twenty was an 789 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,880 Speaker 23: attempt to accelerate change, and the government's always been very 790 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 23: keen to accelerate change for housing on the perception that 791 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,279 Speaker 23: there's some sort of housing crisis. But the scale and 792 00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 23: the bluntness of that change as clearly undermined the durability 793 00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:21,800 Speaker 23: of the whole system. 794 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 2: Right, tell you what happened. If I go to these 795 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,399 Speaker 2: houses and the first thing I asked the real estate 796 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,279 Speaker 2: agent is they go, what's getting built over there? And 797 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,359 Speaker 2: of course their answers I would have a clue. Who 798 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 2: would know at which point I go, I'm not buying 799 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 2: that house. 800 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,399 Speaker 23: Yeah yeah, And if you look around, I mean there 801 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 23: are lots of developers who are doing developments near train 802 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,799 Speaker 23: stations and arterials at the moment, who are succeeding I 803 00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 23: mean simplicity, And I can come to mind the existing 804 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:48,319 Speaker 23: settings aren't denying housing supply. And I think the thing 805 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,479 Speaker 23: that personally aggravates me is that we think that there's 806 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 23: a bigger problem here at play, and we can do 807 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:57,040 Speaker 23: a much more considered process to get the settings for 808 00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 23: intensification right than we being forced to do under PC 809 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:02,320 Speaker 23: one twenty. 810 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,240 Speaker 2: And the law change key is what sort of back 811 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,320 Speaker 2: down do you think they've got it or do you 812 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 2: think they're going to say something that's going to further 813 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:09,759 Speaker 2: piss you off. 814 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,759 Speaker 23: Well, I think any plan changes that are based on 815 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 23: a figure of housing capacity are always going to be 816 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 23: subject to scrutiny. That what the AUP process told us 817 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 23: was that when you go through a slower, considered, evidence 818 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 23: based approach, you get far better outcomes. And that's the 819 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 23: heart of it, Weaver. You know, I was in a 820 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,759 Speaker 23: planning workshop and heard Mayor Brown say that maybe if 821 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,879 Speaker 23: the figure was one point four million, it we would 822 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 23: have ended up with a better outcome. But whether it's 823 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 23: one point four or one point six or one, it's 824 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:48,759 Speaker 23: the process that's that's involved in getting the outcome, which 825 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 23: is more important. And in my argument is that if 826 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 23: we were to do the statue required unitary plan review process, 827 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,440 Speaker 23: that we would have saved millions and we would have 828 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,919 Speaker 23: ended up with a far better outcome. And it's still 829 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 23: available to the government to go down that route. And hopefully, 830 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,840 Speaker 23: you know, Chris Luxon has to be applauded in my 831 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,600 Speaker 23: view for acknowledging that a reset is still on the table. 832 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 2: Exactly, good on you, Troy, Well, explained Troy Churton, who's 833 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,720 Speaker 2: the IRAQI local board member. He might be my local 834 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 2: board member. Actually, for all I know, I think I'm 835 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,799 Speaker 2: in that area. Isn't it pathetic that I don't know 836 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,400 Speaker 2: what area? I'm almost certain i'm in that area. 837 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:24,399 Speaker 14: Did you vote for him? 838 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,279 Speaker 2: I don't think so. Not that I didn't vote for 839 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 2: him or against him, but I didn't vote for the members. 840 00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 2: I only do the mayor thing. 841 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:32,719 Speaker 14: Oh wow, there we go. 842 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, welcome back, Mike, So good to have you back. 843 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 2: G Eric is good, isn't she? And as usual, the 844 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,440 Speaker 2: unions are skewing the numbers to make the situation look 845 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,319 Speaker 2: worse than it really is. I don't know. All I 846 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,719 Speaker 2: know is that lots of businesses have lots of vacancies. 847 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,560 Speaker 2: And what I know also from personal experience, they had 848 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 2: a couple of teachers who left a school last year, 849 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 2: and they left a school because they are sick of 850 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,160 Speaker 2: the school. It's the individual school. Now they've all gone 851 00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,719 Speaker 2: and got jobs and they're perfectly happy moving forward. But 852 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 2: you've got to also look at the individual circumstances around 853 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,799 Speaker 2: the school. Zeraha pointed out there are certain regions that 854 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 2: have always been hard to staff and hard to staff 855 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 2: in everything far less teaching. Seven twenty. 856 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:13,760 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 857 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:14,839 Speaker 1: by News Talks EP. 858 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 2: By the way, that one twenty thing, that that back down, 859 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,279 Speaker 2: turn around, rethink, whatever you want to call it, I 860 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 2: think is being announced tomorrow because the nets are gathering 861 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,000 Speaker 2: in christ Church for their annual you know what, and 862 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,480 Speaker 2: they're announcing the election date. I think tomorrow is the 863 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,719 Speaker 2: election date. And the backdown on one twenty. Well, so 864 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 2: I'm led to believe seven twenty three. Now, of all 865 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,879 Speaker 2: the nutty stuff Trump is up to at the moment, 866 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 2: the most egregious I think is the DOJ. Powell investigation. 867 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,080 Speaker 2: Jerome Powell, I have got not one shadow of doubt, makes, 868 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,840 Speaker 2: along with his board members, decisions based on traditional economic 869 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,719 Speaker 2: or monetary thinking. Trump does not. Of course. Of course, 870 00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:53,439 Speaker 2: you can debate, as we have in this country, whether 871 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,400 Speaker 2: a governor or a chair or a central banker is 872 00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,200 Speaker 2: doing the right thing or a good thing. But what 873 00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,839 Speaker 2: you don't do is weaponize the law to hunt them down. 874 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,000 Speaker 2: The central bank's independence is the cornerstone of how a 875 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 2: lot of the world's economy works. It matters, which is 876 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,280 Speaker 2: why so many central bank chiefs came out in defense 877 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,360 Speaker 2: of Powell, one of which was our newly limited governor, 878 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:15,400 Speaker 2: doctor Bremer. She is now, it seems in trouble. Winston, 879 00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 2: I didn't take that seriously, actually, but Willis I do, 880 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 2: and together I most certainly do. Both now have spoken 881 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,720 Speaker 2: out against her move. Willis says she should have taken advice. 882 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:24,279 Speaker 18: Now. 883 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,279 Speaker 2: Bremen says she didn't want to wake Willis at three 884 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,200 Speaker 2: in the morning. Now that in itself worries me. I've 885 00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:31,879 Speaker 2: woken the boss here at three in the morning because 886 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 2: my computer password doesn't work, and I would have no 887 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 2: hesitation ringing Willis. At a similar time, I worry about 888 00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:41,600 Speaker 2: Bremen's weakness, but more importantly, advice on what Bremen is 889 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 2: independent irony is the entire debate around Powell is about 890 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,879 Speaker 2: independence and the defense of it. Can Bremen now only 891 00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:51,879 Speaker 2: be independent if the government says so? Is that what's 892 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,040 Speaker 2: going on? And if that's the case, how far removed 893 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 2: from the Trump view of the world as Peters and 894 00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 2: Willis are Willis and Peter's scared of America and the 895 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:02,600 Speaker 2: White House and the advice have been Look, obviously you're independent, 896 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,640 Speaker 2: but please keep in mind we're scared witless of the 897 00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,840 Speaker 2: nut job in Washington, so anything you can do to 898 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 2: stop things getting messy would be appreciated. Or or if 899 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,000 Speaker 2: we are universally agree that Breman should have taken advice, 900 00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:17,160 Speaker 2: is she in fact a loose unit? Have we hired 901 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,160 Speaker 2: the wrong person, a person who's put a foot in 902 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 2: it having only been in the job about fifteen minutes. 903 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,160 Speaker 2: So which is it? She's independent and good honor, or 904 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,240 Speaker 2: she's a puppet of the government and she's in trouble, 905 00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:33,360 Speaker 2: basically trouble waiting to happen. Answers please asking Mike disagree 906 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,440 Speaker 2: ref one. This is the movie I was banging on 907 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 2: about it's a fantasy hero move fantasy. It's not a fantasy. 908 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,320 Speaker 2: It's a fantasy hero movie except that, and it was 909 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,720 Speaker 2: quite enjoyable. Mike, Guess what if One was a movie? 910 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,400 Speaker 2: You know, that entertainment thing that we watch for escapism 911 00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,160 Speaker 2: and fun. She sh lighten up some nice eye candy 912 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:51,920 Speaker 2: in a bit of fun, not a bloody documentary. Now 913 00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,840 Speaker 2: you're missing the point completely. What they were trying to 914 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 2: do was walk the line between the node or F 915 00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:02,400 Speaker 2: one fans like me and present a story of some 916 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 2: liberty and entertainment that would bring people who know nothing 917 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:11,799 Speaker 2: about IF One into the equation. They failed in both spectacularly. Morning, Mike, 918 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,160 Speaker 2: welcome back. I couldn't agree more with your f one 919 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,480 Speaker 2: movie comment and overhyped waste of time that should only 920 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,560 Speaker 2: appeal to editing gigs dribble on steroids. It was very 921 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:23,239 Speaker 2: well edited, Mike. Best movie I saw last year Dead 922 00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:27,720 Speaker 2: to Right. Well, really, I don't know what movies you're watching, 923 00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:29,959 Speaker 2: but they're not very good ones, are they. How much 924 00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:34,320 Speaker 2: time do you want to spend on the retirement issue? 925 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:38,800 Speaker 2: So lux and yesterday goes as the retirement age inevitably rises. 926 00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:42,080 Speaker 2: Now that's not true. If we were running a lie, Detective, 927 00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,400 Speaker 2: how was that? Ce and n guy on untruths that 928 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,000 Speaker 2: the leader told in his speech. I would have gone that, hey, 929 00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:48,920 Speaker 2: can we get him to do that? Maybe we should, 930 00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,920 Speaker 2: because that's not actually true. It's not a foregone conclusion 931 00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 2: at all. It's an opinion. He's entitled to the opinion. 932 00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,760 Speaker 2: He's had that opinion for a while. He was merely 933 00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:01,239 Speaker 2: expressing that opinion. Now what I know is one he 934 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,120 Speaker 2: will win the election. Two he will need Winston Peters 935 00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:07,000 Speaker 2: to form the government. Three Winston Peters is not changing 936 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,719 Speaker 2: the retirement age. Therefore, the aforementioned idea is not inevitable 937 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:14,080 Speaker 2: at all. Which brings me to Jane Wrightson, who is 938 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,319 Speaker 2: the Retirement Commissioner, who I think wants the retirement age 939 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:21,560 Speaker 2: to go up. But she's also leaving a job, so 940 00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:23,040 Speaker 2: I don't know that she's going to be there long 941 00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,560 Speaker 2: enough to influence anybody Somewhere in This is me who's 942 00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,520 Speaker 2: left to ask some questions. 943 00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,560 Speaker 3: No fluff, just facts and fierce debate. 944 00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:36,800 Speaker 1: The mic Hosking Breakfast with a Vita, Retirement, Communities, Life 945 00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:38,360 Speaker 1: your Way, News, Togs dead b. 946 00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 2: I've got a little bit of good news around the 947 00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,839 Speaker 2: tennis in this country for you shortly, but twenty three 948 00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,080 Speaker 2: minutes away from Mabletchu by the way, speaking of sport 949 00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,319 Speaker 2: from the Black Boyle sales gup and all that after 950 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,840 Speaker 2: eight for us. But the meantime part of yesterday stated 951 00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:53,200 Speaker 2: the nation g up for the NATT was a revisit 952 00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,719 Speaker 2: once again to the thorny old issue of the retirement age. 953 00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:55,840 Speaker 15: Now. 954 00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,719 Speaker 2: Christoph Laxen called for greater ambition around savings, including high 955 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:03,279 Speaker 2: key say contributions of course that would be offset well. 956 00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,000 Speaker 2: What he suggested was the inevitable, the inevitable. This is 957 00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:07,719 Speaker 2: the Ketha willerd This is the inevitable lift in the 958 00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,919 Speaker 2: retirement age now. Joan Writeson is the Retirement Commissioner, of course, 959 00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:14,240 Speaker 2: and is with us. Jane, good morning, good morning mate. 960 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:15,759 Speaker 2: You're pro upping the age, aren't you. 961 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:21,239 Speaker 18: I am pro having a really. 962 00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:24,319 Speaker 21: Careful look at the system. Yes, but it's not just 963 00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,480 Speaker 21: it's not just a single issue like putting up the age. 964 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,759 Speaker 21: It's quite complicated. What it needs is a long term 965 00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 21: set of thinking around it. It's not just a fiscal issue. 966 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:37,080 Speaker 21: It's an issue for the people of New Zealand. What's 967 00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:38,920 Speaker 21: good about this is that it seems to be on 968 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,680 Speaker 21: the political agenda this year, So I'm hoping that all 969 00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:45,680 Speaker 21: parties will set out a kind of view about what 970 00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:49,360 Speaker 21: they think might be a good way to move forward. 971 00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,120 Speaker 21: And then what we really need is a good cross 972 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,000 Speaker 21: party conversation somehow to say, what is the next ten years? 973 00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 18: Got quite? What are these competing tensions? Got quite? If 974 00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:02,320 Speaker 18: we do the age, who benefits? Who who's hurt? 975 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,000 Speaker 21: If we don't do the age, one of the physical implication, 976 00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:09,319 Speaker 21: who benefit who hurts? You know, it's not impossible this, 977 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,560 Speaker 21: but it's not just a single problem, and it's a 978 00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,440 Speaker 21: system that involves both ends and super and key we 979 00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:15,200 Speaker 21: savor together. 980 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:17,920 Speaker 2: And no, it is not impossible. But can I suggest 981 00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:22,439 Speaker 2: that it's unlikely that any strong Yeah, see, we're going 982 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,280 Speaker 2: nowhere with us, are we? Jane? 983 00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,200 Speaker 21: Or going nowhere with its simply means we talk about 984 00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:30,040 Speaker 21: it or that and change may or may not be inevitable. 985 00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,160 Speaker 21: But I think we need a kind of clear ten 986 00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:35,239 Speaker 21: year direction. Right, So if we say we're not going 987 00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,040 Speaker 21: to change the system for ten years, but in ten 988 00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:38,840 Speaker 21: years we're going to do this, or we're going to 989 00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,799 Speaker 21: change the system in five years, and meantime, these are 990 00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,680 Speaker 21: the other settings changes we need to look at or 991 00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,920 Speaker 21: or but otherwise this football will just continue to be 992 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 21: kicked around. Yes, I don't necessarily think that major changes 993 00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:57,719 Speaker 21: is desperately needed, but you know, if it is, then 994 00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:59,600 Speaker 21: let's do it in a really considered way, and let's 995 00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,480 Speaker 21: do it in a way that focuses on what the 996 00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,840 Speaker 21: future retirees of New Zealanders need, of New Zealand needs. 997 00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:06,959 Speaker 2: I was saying to someone earlier on I started working 998 00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:10,520 Speaker 2: nineteen eighty two, and I distinctly you're so young. I 999 00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:16,440 Speaker 2: distinctly remember in nineteen eighty two thinking to myself, superannuation 1000 00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:20,040 Speaker 2: won't be a thing by the time I retire, and 1001 00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,640 Speaker 2: so it still is. So I took care of myself. 1002 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:24,040 Speaker 2: Is that the answer? 1003 00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,359 Speaker 18: Well, it's a mixture of both, isn't it. It's a 1004 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:27,960 Speaker 18: mixture of. 1005 00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:31,360 Speaker 21: What the underlying government support looks like and what the 1006 00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:32,560 Speaker 21: self provision looks like. 1007 00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:35,799 Speaker 18: The pension will always be with us in one form 1008 00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:36,200 Speaker 18: or another. 1009 00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:38,879 Speaker 21: It has to be, because not all people that look 1010 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,560 Speaker 21: after themselves, and not all people can, you know, survive 1011 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,600 Speaker 21: forty years of working and not working life without life shocks. 1012 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,000 Speaker 18: So it's really important. 1013 00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:51,680 Speaker 21: So you need you need financial education, absolutely true. You 1014 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,400 Speaker 21: need the right incentives to put money aside at the 1015 00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,680 Speaker 21: right time. You need careful nudging to make sure you 1016 00:48:57,719 --> 00:48:59,920 Speaker 21: stay on track, because god, you know we're not perfect, 1017 00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:01,560 Speaker 21: are we We go off track all the time and 1018 00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:05,160 Speaker 21: all sorts of things, and we need consistent government policy 1019 00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 21: that allows us to trust the system that says, by 1020 00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,800 Speaker 21: the time I get to the stage where I can't work, 1021 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,319 Speaker 21: then this is the system that we'll be facing me. 1022 00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,120 Speaker 21: All right, Jo, I mean, by the way, it's not 1023 00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:18,279 Speaker 21: that hard the practice it is. 1024 00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:20,480 Speaker 2: No, it doesn't. Are you leaving? 1025 00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:22,399 Speaker 17: I am? 1026 00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,040 Speaker 18: Yes, I am. My twom finishes in a month or so. 1027 00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:25,880 Speaker 2: What are you going to do. 1028 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:30,840 Speaker 18: I'm going to semi retire, but I'll still be working 1029 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:31,680 Speaker 18: in various ways. 1030 00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,480 Speaker 21: But yes, you know, I'm doing what I say people 1031 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,400 Speaker 21: should always do is step down, slowly, step off the 1032 00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:38,120 Speaker 21: cliff immediately. 1033 00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:39,840 Speaker 2: Very good, indeed, nice to talk to you. Appreciate it 1034 00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:42,799 Speaker 2: very much, Jane writam who is the retirement commissioner for 1035 00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:46,040 Speaker 2: another month or so, nineteen minutes away from eight Sloop. 1036 00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:46,399 Speaker 18: Very good. 1037 00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,520 Speaker 2: Police, speaking of which, it was a massive study. It 1038 00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:51,560 Speaker 2: was in the Washington Post, but a massive study. These 1039 00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,480 Speaker 2: blokes tracked the transactions of more than half a million 1040 00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:58,200 Speaker 2: American since twenty fourteen, and they looked at what happened 1041 00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:02,279 Speaker 2: when home prices rose in any in countries and how 1042 00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,520 Speaker 2: people adapted their thinking and their spending, and the conclusion 1043 00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,040 Speaker 2: you should look it up. It was under the headline 1044 00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:12,000 Speaker 2: abandoning home ownership may be changing how people behave at 1045 00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,359 Speaker 2: work and home. And so the theory was these two 1046 00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,520 Speaker 2: economists looked at it. If you grow up in a 1047 00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:22,040 Speaker 2: world where you have decided, rightly or wrongly, that you 1048 00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:24,920 Speaker 2: will never own a home, what do you then do 1049 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:28,000 Speaker 2: with your money? And the answer they came to all 1050 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:29,840 Speaker 2: the conclusion they came to by following these half a 1051 00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:33,520 Speaker 2: million Americans, is you basically fritter it away. And they 1052 00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:36,400 Speaker 2: seem to indicate that this has got very, very serious 1053 00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,520 Speaker 2: long term implications, because yes, it's fantastic that you're going 1054 00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,120 Speaker 2: to the movies and plays and traveling more often, but 1055 00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,440 Speaker 2: you will get to sixty five or whatever the retirement 1056 00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:47,000 Speaker 2: age in your country is, and you'll have nothing because 1057 00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,120 Speaker 2: part of saving has always been home ownership. And this 1058 00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:50,759 Speaker 2: is applicable all over the world. It's not just in 1059 00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:54,080 Speaker 2: New Zealand. But if you have nothing, and you might 1060 00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,239 Speaker 2: have had a good time, but then so in other words, 1061 00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:59,280 Speaker 2: that it's a time bomb building. And so the argument 1062 00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:00,880 Speaker 2: is there's one of two things. One you've got to 1063 00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,040 Speaker 2: change the attitude, or b you've got to convince people, 1064 00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:04,680 Speaker 2: the young people of today, that they can own a 1065 00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:07,200 Speaker 2: home and they will own a home. And I've got 1066 00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,600 Speaker 2: five kids who are all broadly speaking of the same 1067 00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:11,120 Speaker 2: view they're never going to own a home, and I 1068 00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:15,399 Speaker 2: keep telling them that's simply not true. But they're too 1069 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:18,000 Speaker 2: young to understand that things will change materially for them 1070 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,359 Speaker 2: in a comparatively short period of time. But as long 1071 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,600 Speaker 2: as you've got generations of people thinking they're never going 1072 00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:25,360 Speaker 2: to own a home, we've got a massive In other words, 1073 00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,160 Speaker 2: we are less than solving the problem, we're making the 1074 00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,480 Speaker 2: problem worse. Eighteen to two, The. 1075 00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:35,960 Speaker 1: Vike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by 1076 00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:36,840 Speaker 1: News talks at b. 1077 00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,879 Speaker 2: A store called Ruby. It's in a street called High Street, 1078 00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:42,840 Speaker 2: which is in Auckland, which is a very nice street 1079 00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,160 Speaker 2: in the central part of Auckland City. Once again, I 1080 00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,360 Speaker 2: apologize them on boring the rest of the country Whitler's 1081 00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:50,040 Speaker 2: but the problem is to a degree anyway, nationwide anyway, 1082 00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:53,000 Speaker 2: Ruby's closing permanently. They announced us yesterday they're closing their 1083 00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:56,520 Speaker 2: High Street shop permanently after twenty four years. They cite 1084 00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:00,320 Speaker 2: Now this is the media beat up or is the 1085 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:04,560 Speaker 2: a genuine story here? They're citing safety. So the headline 1086 00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:08,080 Speaker 2: was safety concerns right of Downtown's dreadful. It's a problem. 1087 00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:11,800 Speaker 2: Here's another shop closing up. So they cited safety concerns, 1088 00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:16,640 Speaker 2: changing energy in the CBD. I don't know what that means. 1089 00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:20,720 Speaker 2: And and here's a big clue need for a bigger space, 1090 00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:24,439 Speaker 2: and they reiterated that their High Street store was no 1091 00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:27,200 Speaker 2: longer big enough for the business. So is it a 1092 00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:31,440 Speaker 2: size thing or is it a safety thing. We've reached 1093 00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,359 Speaker 2: a point where the ongoing realities of Auckland CBD mean 1094 00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,680 Speaker 2: High Street is no longer the right place for us. 1095 00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:38,799 Speaker 2: We have been holding on, but in the end that 1096 00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,279 Speaker 2: space is no longer where or what we need for 1097 00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:43,680 Speaker 2: our retail environment. Now, all of that's fine, they can 1098 00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,560 Speaker 2: think and say whatever they like. In present day Auckland, 1099 00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:49,879 Speaker 2: the central city has had a rough time. There are 1100 00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:54,520 Speaker 2: genuine and ongoing safety concerns for our team. So they've 1101 00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,560 Speaker 2: got a bit of everything going on there now. The 1102 00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,160 Speaker 2: only reason I raised this with you is twofold one 1103 00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:03,839 Speaker 2: Mark Mitchell's on the program tomorrow two. It was part 1104 00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:06,440 Speaker 2: of the Prime Minister's speech yesterday in which he feels 1105 00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,400 Speaker 2: very confident to talk about law and order, and so 1106 00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,000 Speaker 2: he should. Broadly speaking, this government has done it very 1107 00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,319 Speaker 2: very under the auspices of Mitchell, are done a very 1108 00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,399 Speaker 2: very good job on law and order. Law in order 1109 00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:19,600 Speaker 2: is nothing like the issue it used to be in 1110 00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,880 Speaker 2: this country. However, we are still standing by in the 1111 00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,439 Speaker 2: Auckland CBD area, are we not? For the move on orders? 1112 00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:27,319 Speaker 2: What happened to that? Before Christmas? They were sorting it 1113 00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:29,399 Speaker 2: all out, and all the homeless people and the drug 1114 00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,960 Speaker 2: adult and the drink addult who still frequent the area 1115 00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,440 Speaker 2: are seemingly still there. And I cite the second part 1116 00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,640 Speaker 2: of the story where we were downtown on Saturday to 1117 00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:42,080 Speaker 2: celebrate Katie's birthday at a very high end a restaurant 1118 00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:46,279 Speaker 2: in a part of Auckland that I found fascinating. It 1119 00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,600 Speaker 2: was a small street in which at one end you 1120 00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:50,799 Speaker 2: could look at the worst of Auckland, and at the 1121 00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:52,239 Speaker 2: other end of the street you could look at the 1122 00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,800 Speaker 2: best of Auckland and this restaurant was somewhere in the middle, 1123 00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:59,200 Speaker 2: and if their punt pays off, all of Auckland will 1124 00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:00,960 Speaker 2: be what they wanted to be. And I wish them 1125 00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,000 Speaker 2: the best with it, and I hope they're right, because 1126 00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,560 Speaker 2: clearly the fit out of the restaurant was spectacular and 1127 00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:08,040 Speaker 2: a lot of money had been spent, and with that 1128 00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:10,640 Speaker 2: money a lot of optimism that maybe things would eventually 1129 00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,719 Speaker 2: come right. But to come right, they need to get 1130 00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:15,319 Speaker 2: these move on or what is sorted. They need to 1131 00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:17,360 Speaker 2: get these people out of the downtown area, and they 1132 00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:19,360 Speaker 2: need to solve this problem. And this is where the 1133 00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:22,280 Speaker 2: government needs to actually be seen to be doing something tangible, 1134 00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,719 Speaker 2: because for all the speeches Luxeon can make. As I 1135 00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:29,680 Speaker 2: wandered into lunch with my family on Saturday, on the 1136 00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,239 Speaker 2: bench outside the restaurant was yet another one of these 1137 00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:40,440 Speaker 2: drug addled losers, yelling, screaming, causing mayhem. She eventually wandered 1138 00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:43,560 Speaker 2: off of her own volition, only to be followed by 1139 00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:47,200 Speaker 2: another one wheeling a shopping cart, and we sat down 1140 00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:50,480 Speaker 2: on the restaurant and the music seemed abnormally loud, so 1141 00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:53,040 Speaker 2: loud that we couldn't really hear ourselves talk of that much, 1142 00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:55,600 Speaker 2: and it suddenly occurred to me the reason the music 1143 00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:58,239 Speaker 2: was so loud is to drown out the screaming on 1144 00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:01,480 Speaker 2: the street of the dead are out there causing problem. 1145 00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:05,120 Speaker 2: So you've spent a fortune fitting out your restaurant, you've 1146 00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,480 Speaker 2: got these losers out on the street causing any amount 1147 00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:09,200 Speaker 2: of mayhem and putting people off. And of course this 1148 00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:11,279 Speaker 2: was a part of Auckland where all the tourists are, 1149 00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:13,879 Speaker 2: and so god knows what they think when they can't 1150 00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:15,560 Speaker 2: get into the restaurant where they'd like to go and 1151 00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:17,640 Speaker 2: have some lunch. Because these people are causing any problem, 1152 00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:19,680 Speaker 2: So have they solved the problem or not. So for 1153 00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:23,000 Speaker 2: all the speeches Luxeon and Mitchell can make, every time 1154 00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:24,920 Speaker 2: I individually run into one of these people on a 1155 00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,439 Speaker 2: park bench preventing me having lunch or spoiling my lunch, 1156 00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:29,600 Speaker 2: I'm thinking to myself, they haven't done their job properly. 1157 00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:33,279 Speaker 2: And in election year, those stories count. Turn Away from. 1158 00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:37,320 Speaker 1: Eight Heather Duplessy Allen on the mic, asking Breakfast with 1159 00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:40,600 Speaker 1: a Vita retirement, Communities News, Togs head Bes. 1160 00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:42,480 Speaker 2: Shitting away from It's got some good news around the tennis. 1161 00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:44,880 Speaker 2: If you watch the holiday tournaments out of Auckland. You 1162 00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:46,719 Speaker 2: will have seen once again rain delays. But now we've 1163 00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:50,319 Speaker 2: got a timeline all lines. Ideally the roof goes on 1164 00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:52,520 Speaker 2: there's at Stanley Street. Of course the roof goes on 1165 00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:54,920 Speaker 2: by next year, more realistically twenty eight. So it could 1166 00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:56,959 Speaker 2: be twenty seven, could be twenty eight anyway. Run West 1167 00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,480 Speaker 2: is the CEO of Tennis Auckland and is with us round. 1168 00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:02,840 Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Mike. Can you doing very well? Indeed, 1169 00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,000 Speaker 2: for what I've been reading and hearing, the tournaments men's 1170 00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:07,319 Speaker 2: and women's was a success this year? Fair equip fair 1171 00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:08,080 Speaker 2: enough to say. 1172 00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:13,920 Speaker 8: That absolutely on virtually every matrix that we monitor and measure, 1173 00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:16,719 Speaker 8: I think we're going to be setting a lot of 1174 00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:17,560 Speaker 8: records this year. 1175 00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:20,120 Speaker 2: Okay, Why do these things and roofs take so long? 1176 00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,520 Speaker 2: The conversation's gone forever. I know the government came to 1177 00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:24,320 Speaker 2: the party to the tune of a handful of million 1178 00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,879 Speaker 2: dollars last year. Why does it take so long? 1179 00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:32,560 Speaker 8: Well, if anyone's been involved in major construction or even 1180 00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:37,200 Speaker 8: building your home, people know that it does take quite 1181 00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:42,560 Speaker 8: a while to get a major construction project completed. Where 1182 00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:46,000 Speaker 8: only days, if not a couple of weeks away from 1183 00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:49,360 Speaker 8: issuing our full tender pack to go out to the 1184 00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:54,239 Speaker 8: market to get our roofing and main contractor partner. So 1185 00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:57,399 Speaker 8: that's going to take a little while, probably a month 1186 00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:00,319 Speaker 8: or so to get those responses back in and we've 1187 00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:03,920 Speaker 8: got the process of a now analyzing. That's getting the 1188 00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:09,600 Speaker 8: final plans done and the dreaded building consent phase. But 1189 00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:13,239 Speaker 8: thankfully we've got great friends at the council. They are 1190 00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:21,080 Speaker 8: fully supporting the project with both finances and also the 1191 00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:24,920 Speaker 8: professional people behind the scenes. So we've already prepped them 1192 00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:28,200 Speaker 8: about the building consent and they're right behind us, and 1193 00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:33,080 Speaker 8: we'll try and circumvent as much time as possible. Then 1194 00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:36,120 Speaker 8: we've got the actual construction Mike and a few people 1195 00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:41,440 Speaker 8: probably and most people won't know that the ASB Classic starts. 1196 00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:45,480 Speaker 8: It's temporary build usually the first week of October every year, 1197 00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:48,600 Speaker 8: and it takes about three months to put everything in place, 1198 00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:53,160 Speaker 8: so we actually need to stop construction of a roof 1199 00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:56,280 Speaker 8: or have it completed by the first weekend of October 1200 00:57:56,320 --> 00:58:00,720 Speaker 8: every year. So between now and then, that's that's only 1201 00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:06,080 Speaker 8: seven months. So to have such a big project done 1202 00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:09,280 Speaker 8: in seven months, it is possible. I'm not saying it's not, 1203 00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:13,320 Speaker 8: but it is probably unlikely. So and then the last 1204 00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:17,440 Speaker 8: thing is our court is it may sound like it's 1205 00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,080 Speaker 8: or look like it's quite hard, but it's what's called 1206 00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:23,640 Speaker 8: a cushioned acrylic hard court surface and has actually quite 1207 00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:27,080 Speaker 8: soft So if you actually came down here and rammed 1208 00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:31,120 Speaker 8: your thumbnail into the court, it actually leaves a dent. 1209 00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:35,080 Speaker 8: So to construct the and install the roof, we will 1210 00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:39,080 Speaker 8: have to put some very large truck cranes on center court. 1211 00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:42,520 Speaker 8: We'll protect it as we always do when we have 1212 00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:45,800 Speaker 8: equipment on it, but we do need some time to 1213 00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:50,920 Speaker 8: then analyze what that equipment might do in terms of 1214 00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:54,360 Speaker 8: damage to the court and make the repairs. So if 1215 00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:56,840 Speaker 8: we don't have an operable court, we don't have a 1216 00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:57,640 Speaker 8: nice spe trailing. 1217 00:58:57,680 --> 00:58:59,960 Speaker 2: You do not exactly. Well, I'm glad the wheels finally, 1218 00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:02,880 Speaker 2: but I'm saying twenty eight not twenty seven, because from 1219 00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:04,920 Speaker 2: what you've just explained, that's going to take till twenty eight, 1220 00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:06,320 Speaker 2: not twenty seven. But I wish you were were at 1221 00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:08,320 Speaker 2: Rome West, who's the the boss of Auckland Tennis. There 1222 00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:11,360 Speaker 2: was a bit of random rain around the place over 1223 00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:14,040 Speaker 2: somewhere and they lost some time. Once again, Mike no 1224 00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:16,320 Speaker 2: one goes to town. It's all your set simply isn't true. 1225 00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:19,160 Speaker 2: Having been in the Auckland CBD a couple of times 1226 00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:22,560 Speaker 2: over of the summer period, I've noted a marked, marked 1227 00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:27,280 Speaker 2: change one in Auckland. Generally there are more people in Auckland. 1228 00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:29,640 Speaker 2: I said the other day yesterday, I couldn't work out 1229 00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:31,960 Speaker 2: whether a lot of people have come to Auckland from 1230 00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:33,680 Speaker 2: outside for the holidays or where there's just a lot 1231 00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:36,000 Speaker 2: of Auckland people didn't leave Auckland anyway. I've noticed that 1232 00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:40,120 Speaker 2: change and also downtown have been downtown specificly hardcore CBD 1233 00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,880 Speaker 2: a couple of times, and I've been surprised. 1234 00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:46,720 Speaker 14: Most importantly, you haven't told us how was Popeye's Like? 1235 00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:48,400 Speaker 2: It's incredible. 1236 00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:49,600 Speaker 14: Yeah, I haven't been yet. 1237 00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:54,320 Speaker 2: Hear those flavorate chips, good stuff, but it was some 1238 00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:56,280 Speaker 2: nice birthdays.

The 1247 01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:26,880 Speaker 2: competition heading towards its second round in New Zealand. For 1248 01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:28,840 Speaker 2: this year, round one over the weekend got the headlines 1249 01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:30,760 Speaker 2: of course, as olboat got nailed and we had to 1250 01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:34,600 Speaker 2: pick bits up out of the water.

It was at all hands to the deck. 1255 01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:46,520 Speaker 24: No. 1256 01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:48,240 Speaker 9: I did manage to get a couple of weeks off, 1257 01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:48,919 Speaker 9: which was nice. 1258 01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:53,560 Speaker 24: But yeah, we finished that last season what early December, 1259 01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:56,920 Speaker 24: and then this one was just last on the weekend 1260 01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:59,520 Speaker 24: with the prep bleeding ends. It wasn't it wasn't too 1261 01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:01,800 Speaker 24: much time off, but nice to be in New Zealand 1262 01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:03,120 Speaker 24: spend some time with friends and family. 1263 01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:05,120 Speaker 2: So what do you do? Did you pick all the 1264 01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:06,880 Speaker 2: pieces up out of the water if you glued them 1265 01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:08,560 Speaker 2: make together? How does that work these days? 1266 01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:11,760 Speaker 9: Yeah, it certainly wasn't a good moment for us. 1267 01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:15,800 Speaker 24: In Perth on the weekend, one of the bigger incidents 1268 01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:21,480 Speaker 24: have been involved with. Just yeah, really unfortunate, Mike. You know, 1269 01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:23,960 Speaker 24: the racing rules are sailing are one thing, and through 1270 01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,560 Speaker 24: that moment when you're maneuvering like that, two boats are maneuvering, 1271 01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:29,800 Speaker 24: the rules are changing between probably three different rules in 1272 01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:33,720 Speaker 24: this space of a few seconds. The umpires deemed us 1273 01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:37,520 Speaker 24: to be in the wrong what people would probably recognize 1274 01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:39,480 Speaker 24: as a clear port star but it although it all 1275 01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:43,960 Speaker 24: happen quick, but outside of the racing rules, there's an 1276 01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:46,560 Speaker 24: obligation on all boats to try and keep the boats apart, 1277 01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:52,280 Speaker 24: and the aggressive move by the Swiss was quite dangerous 1278 01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:55,840 Speaker 24: in my opinion, and trying to clear out behind us 1279 01:01:55,920 --> 01:02:00,440 Speaker 24: rather than diverging them steer back to the left, you know, 1280 01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,360 Speaker 24: was what caused the Bigginson in my opinion. So yeah, 1281 01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:05,400 Speaker 24: pretty frustrated to be ruled out of the weekend, but 1282 01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:08,320 Speaker 24: at the same time glad that everyone's okay, especially Pete 1283 01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:11,000 Speaker 24: at the back. There was very close to where the 1284 01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:12,160 Speaker 24: bow went through our boat. 1285 01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:16,360 Speaker 2: Is the fixed difficult? And is it time? Is it money? 1286 01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:16,959 Speaker 2: Is it both? 1287 01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:22,600 Speaker 24: Yes, it's difficult first answer, but the sale GP technology 1288 01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:25,360 Speaker 24: seems very good now they're up and running in the 1289 01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:29,360 Speaker 24: new facility in Southampton in the UK, and what will 1290 01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:31,400 Speaker 24: happen from here will be that a new part of 1291 01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:35,640 Speaker 24: the boat will be made, or they're going to take 1292 01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:38,400 Speaker 24: a part of the boat that's actually in one of 1293 01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:39,960 Speaker 24: the boats that was coming online next season. 1294 01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,400 Speaker 9: So I'll take the port stern of one of those boats. 1295 01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:45,160 Speaker 24: They'll cut that or lay up a new one the 1296 01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:48,000 Speaker 24: last one meter and a half or two meters, and 1297 01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:50,760 Speaker 24: then they'll fly that down to Auckland, which they should 1298 01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:54,720 Speaker 24: rendezvous with our boat coming from Perth on around the 1299 01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:57,880 Speaker 24: fourth or fifth of February, and then here in Auckland 1300 01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:02,640 Speaker 24: they'll splice the two together and we should be racing 1301 01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:04,080 Speaker 24: on the fourteenth and fifteenth. 1302 01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:05,040 Speaker 9: That's the plan. 1303 01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:07,320 Speaker 24: All going well, but it's going to need some work. 1304 01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:09,920 Speaker 24: But really confident in the team they've got there to 1305 01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:10,600 Speaker 24: do that for us. 1306 01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:12,760 Speaker 2: Who pays for that? How does the system work? Because 1307 01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:15,160 Speaker 2: I'm an F one gig and so you've got your 1308 01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:17,800 Speaker 2: own budgets, your own teams, you fix your own problems. 1309 01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:21,960 Speaker 2: So you've got a centerpiece in Britain. Is it covered 1310 01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:22,920 Speaker 2: as part of the competition. 1311 01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:25,920 Speaker 9: No, this will be covered by the team. 1312 01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:30,480 Speaker 24: However it gets fixed by the all the boats in 1313 01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:36,040 Speaker 24: sales GP are owned by the league themselves, and we 1314 01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:39,760 Speaker 24: charted them off off the league. However, any costs like 1315 01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:43,400 Speaker 24: this would be incurred by the teams. Wow, and different 1316 01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:45,960 Speaker 24: teams have different variants of levels of insurance cover this 1317 01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:50,160 Speaker 24: sort of thing. So yeah, it's a fairly significant cost. 1318 01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:55,240 Speaker 24: But the racings type moments like these are happening every 1319 01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:58,760 Speaker 24: other weekend. Like I said right the headline, I guess 1320 01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:04,800 Speaker 24: just disappointed at the action where they came aggressive to 1321 01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:06,360 Speaker 24: go behind us rather than divert your way. 1322 01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:10,240 Speaker 2: I speaking to you as a CEO, co CEO that, 1323 01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:12,800 Speaker 2: by the way, are you enjoying that away from how 1324 01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:16,400 Speaker 2: much away from sailing CEO is going on for you? 1325 01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:17,960 Speaker 3: Oh a lot? 1326 01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:20,760 Speaker 24: No, That's definitely where I've seen my future, and that 1327 01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:23,560 Speaker 24: evolution on my role over the last few years has 1328 01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:28,000 Speaker 24: been something that I've loved. That's challenged me more than 1329 01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:31,360 Speaker 24: what the sailing has right, that's sailing over the last 1330 01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:36,280 Speaker 24: few years I've rased in America's Cups were racing the Olympics.

Is that? 1342 01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:02,640 Speaker 2: Is that a good way of operating? 1343 01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:06,520 Speaker 9: Yes, I think the model's proven itself. 1344 01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:10,479 Speaker 24: We're into season six now, and yeah, the numbers speak 1345 01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:14,640 Speaker 24: for themselves. Sal GPS growing at a huge you know, 1346 01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:15,920 Speaker 24: it's on a huge trajectory. 1347 01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:18,640 Speaker 9: Both the league itself but also. 1348 01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:24,280 Speaker 24: The individual teams averaged eighteen million dedicated broadcast views per 1349 01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:27,880 Speaker 24: event last year. Social media grows, the events are growing. 1350 01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:33,400 Speaker 24: I took the opportunity actually on Sunday, which was was 1351 01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:36,200 Speaker 24: tough to swallow, to go sit in the grandstands. And 1352 01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:41,160 Speaker 24: once I got over myself and started enjoying it, it 1353 01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:43,320 Speaker 24: was an awesome experience and I wouldn't get that otherwise. 1354 01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:45,040 Speaker 24: And I wanted to go put in my CEO head. 1355 01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:48,600 Speaker 24: I wanted to go and sit in there and trying 1356 01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:51,240 Speaker 24: to enjoy it and understand that side of the business. 1357 01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:54,640 Speaker 24: And yeah, that's a seriously cool sporting property I have. 1358 01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:56,280 Speaker 2: I have several questions around that for you in just 1359 01:05:56,320 --> 01:05:58,040 Speaker 2: a moment, hold on, I go away. Blair Chuke is 1360 01:05:58,040 --> 01:05:58,800 Speaker 2: with us more than a moment. 1361 01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:03,480 Speaker 1: Thirteen past the Mic Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on 1362 01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:05,800 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio powered by News Talks. 1363 01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:08,600 Speaker 2: It be News Talks that we caught a past a 1364 01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:10,640 Speaker 2: Bleir too, because I guest Blear. I was reading the 1365 01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:12,960 Speaker 2: You talked about the audiences and the growth and all 1366 01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:14,880 Speaker 2: that time looking at the metrics and how many people 1367 01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:17,480 Speaker 2: are watching. Do you have a view, either as a 1368 01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:20,360 Speaker 2: sportsman or a CEO. It seems to me there are 1369 01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:22,320 Speaker 2: certain sports in the world. Yours is one of them. 1370 01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:26,320 Speaker 2: The growth is exponential. People can't get enough of sport. 1371 01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:29,959 Speaker 2: There are eyeballs, there are ticket sales, that are broadcasting rights, 1372 01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:33,840 Speaker 2: there's huge money involved in it all. Why what's happened 1373 01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:35,440 Speaker 2: to sport that has become so big? 1374 01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:40,920 Speaker 9: Well, I think for us it's a it's a new 1375 01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:41,800 Speaker 9: sporting property. 1376 01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:44,920 Speaker 24: Yes it's a it's a sailing race, but it's a 1377 01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:47,840 Speaker 24: sailing race that hasn't been seen before, and it's been 1378 01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:52,800 Speaker 24: built for the fans from the outset and because of 1379 01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:56,600 Speaker 24: that nature and because there was no yes, we race 1380 01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:59,480 Speaker 24: sort of under the racing rules of sailing. But it's 1381 01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,880 Speaker 24: just started up from it from scratch, and the league 1382 01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:04,600 Speaker 24: and all the teams have been able to pivot and 1383 01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:09,240 Speaker 24: are just much like a startup bill would. And so 1384 01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:11,960 Speaker 24: we've just pivot followed what what the fans want, what 1385 01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:14,960 Speaker 24: the commercial partners want, and that's helped us with that 1386 01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:20,600 Speaker 24: trajectory and it's a it's a really exciting thing to watch. 1387 01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:23,760 Speaker 24: I know you're a big F one fan and when 1388 01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:25,400 Speaker 24: you what you see with the growth of F one, 1389 01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:28,520 Speaker 24: when you're at F one race, you're seeing one corner 1390 01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:30,720 Speaker 24: or one one straight, whatever it might be. 1391 01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:33,480 Speaker 9: At a SALGP race, you see the whole course. 1392 01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:36,960 Speaker 24: So there's action a plenty and I saw that firsthand 1393 01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:40,880 Speaker 24: free on the weekend where you're seeing boats whether it're 1394 01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:44,600 Speaker 24: in first or back in tenth or eleventh, are coming 1395 01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:47,240 Speaker 24: into the bottom marks, crashing and you're seeing the whole thing. 1396 01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:52,680 Speaker 24: So that's the big machines and that and it is 1397 01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:57,400 Speaker 24: capturing people's imaginations and dragging people to it and it's 1398 01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:02,800 Speaker 24: bringing its salgyps. Ever been about getting the sailing fans involved. 1399 01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:05,800 Speaker 24: It's always been about that racing fans and trying to 1400 01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:08,720 Speaker 24: convert them across from other types of sports and that's 1401 01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:11,520 Speaker 24: happening where people want to see action and they get. 1402 01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:13,760 Speaker 2: That was my that was my next question. Are the 1403 01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:15,560 Speaker 2: people who are coming do you know what does the 1404 01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:18,559 Speaker 2: league know? Are they coming from other sports or are 1405 01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:22,040 Speaker 2: these just it's tech, it's speed And if you've got 1406 01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:23,800 Speaker 2: tech and speed together, you've got a fan. 1407 01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:28,280 Speaker 24: Yes, that's the primary fan, is what we deem the 1408 01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:32,559 Speaker 24: racing fans. So that's the someone that likes this type 1409 01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:35,519 Speaker 24: of sport and sees this and goes, well, I want 1410 01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:38,479 Speaker 24: to watch it, try and alarm myself with the team 1411 01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:41,880 Speaker 24: that's first and foremost, and that's happening and big numbers 1412 01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:44,200 Speaker 24: right across the world. And you know, for us at 1413 01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:46,680 Speaker 24: the Black Foils, we've we've got people that might have 1414 01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:48,880 Speaker 24: been America's Cup fans in the past, or Pete and 1415 01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:51,400 Speaker 24: Blair fans through the Olympics, and they are now becoming 1416 01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:55,080 Speaker 24: Black Foils fans and they're learning the leos, the lives 1417 01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:59,320 Speaker 24: and they are becoming their own stars, stars in their own. 1418 01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:02,280 Speaker 9: So that's it's different different markets. 1419 01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:04,240 Speaker 24: And we're lucky here in New Zealand we've got that 1420 01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:10,800 Speaker 24: big foundation of sailing support. So when you get that 1421 01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:12,439 Speaker 24: combination it's powerful. 1422 01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:15,240 Speaker 2: Do you have a breakdown in that sense? Is it 1423 01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:17,320 Speaker 2: young people? Everybody? 1424 01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:17,679 Speaker 22: Men? 1425 01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:20,080 Speaker 9: Women, Yes, it's. 1426 01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:25,160 Speaker 24: It's pretty even gender wise, and it's I think the 1427 01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:26,080 Speaker 24: average fan. 1428 01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:28,759 Speaker 9: Thirties. 1429 01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:31,479 Speaker 24: We've still got which so it's not the super young, 1430 01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:36,680 Speaker 24: but it is low right. And then there's also there's 1431 01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:38,800 Speaker 24: people that are watching at home. But then there's also 1432 01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:41,840 Speaker 24: the people coming to enjoy the events, as you know, 1433 01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:43,599 Speaker 24: we'll see in Auckland where people want to come out, 1434 01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:45,360 Speaker 24: they want to have a good day out. Sure there's 1435 01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:48,080 Speaker 24: some sailing on, but it's more about the whole experience 1436 01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:50,480 Speaker 24: rather than just the sailing. 1437 01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:53,640 Speaker 2: And the appendages to the competition, like renewable power, the 1438 01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:57,599 Speaker 2: sort of the messaging around that. How important is that 1439 01:09:57,720 --> 01:10:01,920 Speaker 2: as a model to present to a wider public? I mean, 1440 01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:03,960 Speaker 2: does it mean anything to the average fan or are 1441 01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:05,080 Speaker 2: you just watching a bit of sailing? 1442 01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:06,400 Speaker 20: No? 1443 01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:13,559 Speaker 24: I think having that foundation there of you know, for us, 1444 01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:16,160 Speaker 24: it's racing in partnership with live otion. Different teams have 1445 01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:20,519 Speaker 24: got different organizational chows are aligned with. For us, it's 1446 01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:23,040 Speaker 24: it's right now the DNA as a team and it 1447 01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:25,600 Speaker 24: has been from the start, so it's not like it 1448 01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:28,439 Speaker 24: was something that said, oh we need to go clean 1449 01:10:28,439 --> 01:10:30,080 Speaker 24: and green and tie us to something. 1450 01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:30,800 Speaker 9: So let's do it. 1451 01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:32,680 Speaker 24: And you can kind of see from the outside that 1452 01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:37,080 Speaker 24: it's just just token for us as and with the team, 1453 01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:38,880 Speaker 24: and has been from the start. I mean we started 1454 01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:44,360 Speaker 24: liveotion before the Black Foils. So I think obviously we've 1455 01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:46,639 Speaker 24: seen a lot of change in the in the world 1456 01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:49,160 Speaker 24: over the last couple of years where countries are pulling 1457 01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:53,559 Speaker 24: back and organizations are pulling back in this area, but 1458 01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:57,200 Speaker 24: it's still really core to the whole of svaldyp as 1459 01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:58,920 Speaker 24: a league and the individual teams. 1460 01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:01,200 Speaker 2: Did you think what it is today is what it 1461 01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:03,879 Speaker 2: would be? I mean, someone's a genius as Coots a genius. 1462 01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:11,840 Speaker 24: Yeah, he's got a very good vision for this and 1463 01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:16,120 Speaker 24: he and Larry. Obviously without Larry there to underride it 1464 01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:19,800 Speaker 24: and get it going, wouldn't have wouldn't have happened. But 1465 01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:23,080 Speaker 24: now that you're seeing the sponsors, they are involved and 1466 01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:27,400 Speaker 24: are involved, big global brands, ten year plus deals. 1467 01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:32,040 Speaker 9: That's this is the real deal. So it's yeah, it's. 1468 01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:34,519 Speaker 24: Still early, like right, it seems like five six years, 1469 01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:38,360 Speaker 24: but this is still early doors for where all going to. 1470 01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:42,120 Speaker 2: How do you personally view it? I mean, is it 1471 01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:45,880 Speaker 2: still exciting to get on those little boats that you 1472 01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:48,719 Speaker 2: used to win Olympics in or is that now just 1473 01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:51,080 Speaker 2: so far down the rear view mirror it's not worth 1474 01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:53,360 Speaker 2: talking about. And is the America's Cup still a thing 1475 01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:56,559 Speaker 2: because of its glamor in history or is the tech 1476 01:11:56,600 --> 01:11:59,280 Speaker 2: and the speed where it's all going to be at? 1477 01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:04,320 Speaker 9: Well, I think the first part of that question. 1478 01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:06,479 Speaker 24: The forty nine is always going to have a special 1479 01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:10,040 Speaker 24: part in my heart. Is such a big chunk of 1480 01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:13,400 Speaker 24: Pete and myself's career and it's what led us to 1481 01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:17,360 Speaker 24: so so much where there was America's Cup or all 1482 01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:21,760 Speaker 24: this the Black Foils. But yeah, no one's ever going 1483 01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:24,200 Speaker 24: to take away from your leading the country into the 1484 01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:28,439 Speaker 24: into the Madicana Stadium in Rio, or winning that gold medal, 1485 01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:31,479 Speaker 24: and that's such a such a huge thing. And there's 1486 01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:33,760 Speaker 24: a lot of young guys and girls coming up through 1487 01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:36,759 Speaker 24: the Olympic sailing in New Zealand now that are sailing 1488 01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:39,799 Speaker 24: those boats and they'll have bright futures. So that's still 1489 01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:44,040 Speaker 24: that still is very much a pathway with regards to 1490 01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:46,800 Speaker 24: America's Cup. I think, you know, I really do hope 1491 01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:51,720 Speaker 24: that both sporting properties have a successful future, and I 1492 01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:54,400 Speaker 24: think the America's Cup, like you mentioned, has has that 1493 01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:58,120 Speaker 24: long history and that they will always that and that 1494 01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:00,280 Speaker 24: that sets them up really well from a brand point 1495 01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:03,839 Speaker 24: of view. You know, they've made some quite big changes 1496 01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:08,800 Speaker 24: this edition and some continuity and try and take out 1497 01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:12,200 Speaker 24: the big laos for sale GP that's been part of 1498 01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:14,080 Speaker 24: it from the start where we race.

We did have a discussion over the holiday period. 1547 01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:32,840 Speaker 2: I said, I don't care if they've got my health 1548 01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:36,880 Speaker 2: records such as they are, publish them till they're blue 1549 01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:40,400 Speaker 2: in the face. I'm not interested. Could go out there 1550 01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:43,280 Speaker 2: and anyway, I do understand other people have got health 1551 01:15:43,320 --> 01:15:45,439 Speaker 2: issues may not want them made public. Anyway. The last 1552 01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:48,720 Speaker 2: deadline for ransom was Gen nine. By the way, I 1553 01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:51,880 Speaker 2: wasn't compromised. The doctor wrote to me and said, we 1554 01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:53,960 Speaker 2: all got emails at the same time. Funnily enough, we 1555 01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:55,960 Speaker 2: all came in at the same time and we all 1556 01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:57,400 Speaker 2: I didn't look till the end of the day. 1557 01:15:57,400 --> 01:15:59,479 Speaker 14: Because once it's the same doctor who told you you 1558 01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:00,439 Speaker 14: were five ten. 1559 01:16:00,680 --> 01:16:03,400 Speaker 2: Now that doctor's moved on. Turns out didn't have a license. 1560 01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:05,960 Speaker 2: Who would have thought anyway? They wrote to us all 1561 01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:09,400 Speaker 2: at the same time. We all got emails and everyone 1562 01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:11,360 Speaker 2: in the house was going, oh, I'm not involved, I'm 1563 01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:13,360 Speaker 2: not involved. I couldn't even be bothered looking at my 1564 01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:16,040 Speaker 2: email because I couldn't care less at the end of 1565 01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:19,120 Speaker 2: the day when I'm clearing my emails, I wasn't involved. 1566 01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:21,320 Speaker 2: So anyway, where was I? Jen nine was the deadline 1567 01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:24,320 Speaker 2: and we've heard nothing from the hackers since. No word 1568 01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:26,240 Speaker 2: as to whether ransom was paid, because of course they're 1569 01:16:26,240 --> 01:16:29,480 Speaker 2: a private company. They can do whatever they like. Jan fourteen, 1570 01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:32,240 Speaker 2: Managed my Health admitted it told the wrong people they 1571 01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:35,320 Speaker 2: were compromised. So anyway, that still seems to be sort 1572 01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:37,479 Speaker 2: of lied, because there are plenty of aggrieved people around 1573 01:16:37,479 --> 01:16:39,759 Speaker 2: the way that that was handled by that particular company. 1574 01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:40,879 Speaker 2: Twenty two minutes away. 1575 01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:45,000 Speaker 19: From nine International correspondence with ends in eye Insurance Peace 1576 01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:46,400 Speaker 19: of mind for New Zealand business. 1577 01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:48,760 Speaker 2: Now here's a voice I've been looking forward to hearing again, 1578 01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:49,880 Speaker 2: Rod Little, how are you? 1579 01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:51,559 Speaker 10: I'm very well. 1580 01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:53,599 Speaker 9: Happy New Year, mate, and to you too. 1581 01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:56,600 Speaker 2: Just let me I've got a series of holiday questions 1582 01:16:57,080 --> 01:17:00,400 Speaker 2: that involves your country. That that I've been reading about 1583 01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:05,880 Speaker 2: the words Rossendell Jinrick as a Howie wind. Does it 1584 01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:08,160 Speaker 2: stop in our reform the real deal? 1585 01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:13,439 Speaker 10: I don't think it does stop, or at least it 1586 01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:16,880 Speaker 10: doesn't stop until Reform show signs of sagging, and they 1587 01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:19,320 Speaker 10: are sagging a little in the polls there, down from 1588 01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:23,320 Speaker 10: thirty to twenty seven. But Rossendell is quite a capture. 1589 01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:27,720 Speaker 10: He's not the same profile as Robert Jenrick, but he 1590 01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:31,920 Speaker 10: is a sitting MP who you represents Rodford, so it's 1591 01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:37,920 Speaker 10: absolutely prime territory East End of London for a reform seat, 1592 01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:41,840 Speaker 10: and he probably saw which way the wind was blowing. 1593 01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:47,160 Speaker 10: But he's always been on that populist reformish side of 1594 01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:51,040 Speaker 10: the Conservative Party, so it's not a huge surprise. There 1595 01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:55,720 Speaker 10: is some resistance, probably not to Rossendell, but probably to 1596 01:17:55,800 --> 01:17:58,880 Speaker 10: Robert Jenwick and certainly to the rather oil in that 1597 01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:06,840 Speaker 10: Deems Zahawi from Reform members. About twenty percent of them say, look, 1598 01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:09,439 Speaker 10: just stop all this. We've had enough tourris coming in. 1599 01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:12,080 Speaker 10: This isn't going to be the Tory Party Mark too, 1600 01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:16,800 Speaker 10: and you know, okay, generic's a big name, but Nadeem Saharawi, 1601 01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:20,720 Speaker 10: who was in trouble for his financial dealings, you know, 1602 01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:23,120 Speaker 10: we don't want any of that. That's the stuff we're 1603 01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:23,920 Speaker 10: rebelling against. 1604 01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:28,200 Speaker 2: So would that lead to no coalition arrangement deal whatever 1605 01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:29,960 Speaker 2: between them and the Tories come election time. 1606 01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:33,840 Speaker 10: Some people are saying that, but I don't think so. 1607 01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:37,000 Speaker 10: I think that pragmatics will come into play in three 1608 01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:39,160 Speaker 10: years time, which is a long way away, of course, 1609 01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:43,000 Speaker 10: and if it looks as if the Tories and Reform 1610 01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:46,240 Speaker 10: can do some sort of casual deal in order to 1611 01:18:46,840 --> 01:18:50,639 Speaker 10: ensure the maximum success on both sides, then they will 1612 01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:52,640 Speaker 10: do it. And I don't think there's much doubt about that, 1613 01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:54,960 Speaker 10: no matter what Kenny Badeno might say. Now. 1614 01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:58,519 Speaker 2: Other bits of holiday reading Government to water down business right, 1615 01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:02,960 Speaker 2: rise for pubs Government, Paul's Hills Law amendment after becklash, 1616 01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:06,080 Speaker 2: Government drops plans for mandatory digital ID to work in 1617 01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:09,559 Speaker 2: the UK headlined Starmer's thirteenth U turn. Does he have 1618 01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:10,519 Speaker 2: a clue what he's doing? 1619 01:19:11,640 --> 01:19:14,599 Speaker 10: No, not the remotest clue, certainly, not on domestic policy, 1620 01:19:15,360 --> 01:19:17,840 Speaker 10: no idea whatsoever. There have been new turns after U 1621 01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:21,400 Speaker 10: turns after U turns, and also failures to implement laws 1622 01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:24,519 Speaker 10: which are causing them problems all over the place, such as, 1623 01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:30,080 Speaker 10: for example, the Supreme Court in April last year made 1624 01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:33,960 Speaker 10: it absolutely clear that, well it came to public spaces, 1625 01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:37,080 Speaker 10: somebody's sex meant their sex, you know, none of this 1626 01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:40,639 Speaker 10: gender nonsense. And the government still hasn't got to groups 1627 01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:46,600 Speaker 10: without another tribune and aw was ruled against the transgender 1628 01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:51,080 Speaker 10: activist argument on Friday. And yet the government is terrified 1629 01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:53,559 Speaker 10: of its own left wing backbenchers who will object to 1630 01:19:53,640 --> 01:19:56,080 Speaker 10: all of this. So there have been new turns and 1631 01:19:56,160 --> 01:19:59,720 Speaker 10: new turns. We haven't yet seen a proper U turn 1632 01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:02,800 Speaker 10: on the pubs, by the way, and that's it's a 1633 01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:06,040 Speaker 10: frightening one. You know, pubs are already under the cosh. 1634 01:20:06,160 --> 01:20:11,160 Speaker 10: The smoking ban hurt pubs, COVID hurd pubs, and the 1635 01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:15,080 Speaker 10: fact that you know, the grosthing no no, no alcoholic 1636 01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:18,080 Speaker 10: beers and so on has really hurt the pubs as well. 1637 01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:20,760 Speaker 10: This this, this is the final death knell. 1638 01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:24,120 Speaker 2: I think it's interesting, yet another hitdline. I was reading 1639 01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:27,280 Speaker 2: about the question was why does labor not like pubs? 1640 01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:29,280 Speaker 2: And I thought that's a good question to ask, because 1641 01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:31,640 Speaker 2: you know, working class, all that stuff. What what is this? 1642 01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:35,000 Speaker 10: It doesn't like the working class mine, It's never liked 1643 01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:39,800 Speaker 10: the wig clubs, the working class. It despises what they like. 1644 01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:45,600 Speaker 10: It despises their food, their culture, their their behavior. It 1645 01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:48,280 Speaker 10: has no time for them whatsoever. It's now a party 1646 01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:50,600 Speaker 10: of the public sector middle class. 1647 01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:53,280 Speaker 2: So what happens over the next three years given, I mean, 1648 01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:55,160 Speaker 2: this is just my reading over the summer period. For 1649 01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:59,479 Speaker 2: goodness sake, three three years of this continues. Presumably Starmer 1650 01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:02,000 Speaker 2: doesn't last the distance, or somebody wakes up and guys 1651 01:21:02,040 --> 01:21:04,240 Speaker 2: were going for a loss of the election. How does 1652 01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:06,480 Speaker 2: it all unfold? 1653 01:21:06,800 --> 01:21:09,439 Speaker 10: Well, the sensible way to say it unfolds at the 1654 01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:13,680 Speaker 10: moment is to say that reform becomes the government. But 1655 01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:17,360 Speaker 10: there are things which Starmer has up his sleeves. The 1656 01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:21,000 Speaker 10: economy is picking up a little bit, wages are picking 1657 01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:24,479 Speaker 10: up a little bit. And what was meant to be 1658 01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:31,480 Speaker 10: his kind of his execution moment, which was the May elections, 1659 01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:35,479 Speaker 10: have been circumvented a little bit because he's managed to 1660 01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:38,920 Speaker 10: persuade twenty five percent of local councils not to have 1661 01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:42,519 Speaker 10: elections at all. So they banned local elections because they're 1662 01:21:42,560 --> 01:21:47,280 Speaker 10: rearranging local government. It's shocking. It's genuinely shocking, you know, 1663 01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:54,040 Speaker 10: So that the trouble he will have got from having 1664 01:21:54,080 --> 01:21:57,160 Speaker 10: lost hundreds and hundreds of seats isn't going to happen 1665 01:21:57,280 --> 01:22:00,360 Speaker 10: almost certainly because there are enough seats up for grabs now. 1666 01:22:01,680 --> 01:22:03,679 Speaker 10: So I think he may well persist. 1667 01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:08,720 Speaker 2: We persist, Sorry, on does he have as I hid 1668 01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:11,560 Speaker 2: in one I've written one story this morning on c CNBC. 1669 01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:14,240 Speaker 2: They refer to his magic and he was going to 1670 01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:18,800 Speaker 2: roll out his magic to quill Trump visa v. Greenland. 1671 01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:20,080 Speaker 2: Does he have such magic? 1672 01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:25,559 Speaker 10: No, he is the least magical person with the world 1673 01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:30,879 Speaker 10: has ever seen. I think is probably the answer to that. However, however, 1674 01:22:31,240 --> 01:22:33,840 Speaker 10: he has played a carry as up set you many 1675 01:22:33,840 --> 01:22:37,759 Speaker 10: times before. He's played a Cannie line when dealing with Trump. 1676 01:22:39,439 --> 01:22:42,920 Speaker 10: It may be two canny this time. You know that 1677 01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:45,120 Speaker 10: the Europeans sent a whole bunch of people to a 1678 01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:49,040 Speaker 10: whole bunch of servicemen to the Antarctic, to the Arctic 1679 01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:55,320 Speaker 10: rather to Greenland to patrol and stay there as a 1680 01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:59,720 Speaker 10: kind of presence, and we've sent one person. And in 1681 01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:03,360 Speaker 10: his response to Trump's latest demands on Greenland. He has 1682 01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:07,200 Speaker 10: been by far, by far the most equivocal of all 1683 01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:10,679 Speaker 10: the European leaders. Now he's obviously anxious not to ruin 1684 01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:14,719 Speaker 10: a relationship with the USA, but if we get cropped 1685 01:23:14,840 --> 01:23:17,599 Speaker 10: by ten percent tariffs, which is what Trump is threatening, 1686 01:23:17,880 --> 01:23:20,120 Speaker 10: that won't do it some anthing good at all. Given 1687 01:23:20,280 --> 01:23:23,280 Speaker 10: that Trump it looks to me at the moment, I 1688 01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:25,000 Speaker 10: don't know what you think, Mike, but it looks to 1689 01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:27,760 Speaker 10: me as if NATO is dead in the water with 1690 01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:28,600 Speaker 10: all this going on. 1691 01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:31,080 Speaker 2: Well, I was going to ask for a prediction NATO, 1692 01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:33,719 Speaker 2: So you say, did in the water. How does Greenland 1693 01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:36,200 Speaker 2: get resolved? There is an increased NATO presence, there is 1694 01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:38,960 Speaker 2: an increased American prison. Do they sell it to America? 1695 01:23:38,960 --> 01:23:40,400 Speaker 2: What do he reckon happens? 1696 01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:42,840 Speaker 10: I don't think they sell it to America. I just 1697 01:23:42,880 --> 01:23:47,479 Speaker 10: don't think that's going to happen. I still don't think 1698 01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:51,439 Speaker 10: that Trump will send troops or try to tell her. 1699 01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:55,240 Speaker 10: So I think it remains as a sort of grouchy 1700 01:23:55,360 --> 01:24:02,120 Speaker 10: impass with Denmark still in control of Greenland. NATO basically, 1701 01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:06,840 Speaker 10: aside from America, supporting that rule of Greenland because of 1702 01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:12,160 Speaker 10: course it is that country, and with and and you know, 1703 01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:15,680 Speaker 10: don't forget there's only there's only two and a half 1704 01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:19,720 Speaker 10: to three years left of Trump, and Greenland's lasted with 1705 01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:21,160 Speaker 10: Denmark a lot longer than that. 1706 01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:23,080 Speaker 2: Very good point. Always good to have you on the program. 1707 01:24:23,160 --> 01:24:25,840 Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Rod Little back on Thursday morning. 1708 01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:27,000 Speaker 2: It's already fourteen. 1709 01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:32,440 Speaker 1: Two the Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio 1710 01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:34,000 Speaker 1: powered by News Talks. 1711 01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:33,960 Speaker 16: At be. 1712 01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:38,439 Speaker 2: Just we were mentioning Ruby the Sharp earlier on downtown 1713 01:24:38,439 --> 01:24:41,640 Speaker 2: Auckland downtown issues, et cetera. Some news is coming on 1714 01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:44,559 Speaker 2: that with another business who will be filling the space 1715 01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:47,240 Speaker 2: and expanding. So that's encouraging. So I'm excited about that. Mike, 1716 01:24:47,240 --> 01:24:50,959 Speaker 2: don't forget about the college championship today. See one person's 1717 01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:55,440 Speaker 2: discomfort and upset and misery and concern as another person's opportunity, 1718 01:24:55,479 --> 01:24:58,120 Speaker 2: isn't it. That's life. Don't forget the college championship today. 1719 01:24:58,160 --> 01:25:01,160 Speaker 2: I'm not really into college football to be I just 1720 01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:05,120 Speaker 2: don't have time in general. But it's Miami Indiana today. 1721 01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:08,080 Speaker 2: Indiana has been quite the story and Miami are at home, 1722 01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:10,080 Speaker 2: which is highly unusual. They happened to be playing it 1723 01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:12,880 Speaker 2: in Miami, which brings us to the question and who 1724 01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:14,920 Speaker 2: have you got for the Super Bowl? Well, as of yesterday, 1725 01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:19,280 Speaker 2: I think I've got New England to play Seattle. Seattle. 1726 01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:21,080 Speaker 2: I've got to beat LA yet, but based on what 1727 01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:24,400 Speaker 2: I saw yesterday from LA, they will be beaten by Seattle, because, 1728 01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:27,439 Speaker 2: mind you, LA were in Chicago, and in Chicago at 1729 01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:29,280 Speaker 2: the moment, it's about a minus three hundred and twenty 1730 01:25:29,280 --> 01:25:31,760 Speaker 2: five and LA are not used to playing in the snow, 1731 01:25:31,760 --> 01:25:33,519 Speaker 2: and it was snowing yesterday and it was a very 1732 01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:35,760 Speaker 2: tight game. It was a grouping game, it was the 1733 01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:38,360 Speaker 2: game for the ages. It was winter overtime, and it 1734 01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:42,559 Speaker 2: was absolutely fantastic. But the Rams should have beaten the 1735 01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:45,439 Speaker 2: Bears more than they did, so that worries me. Then 1736 01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:47,960 Speaker 2: you've got New England who looked good and Denver who 1737 01:25:47,960 --> 01:25:50,479 Speaker 2: are the number one seeds. But Denver's lost their quarterback 1738 01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:53,479 Speaker 2: to an ankle broken ankle or bone in the foot, 1739 01:25:54,040 --> 01:25:57,240 Speaker 2: and their filand quarterback as somebody you've never heard of. 1740 01:25:57,800 --> 01:25:59,960 Speaker 2: And despite the coach saying, oh, I think he's ready, 1741 01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:02,200 Speaker 2: I don't think he is ready because he hasn't played 1742 01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:04,639 Speaker 2: professional football. He hasn't taken a snap for three years. 1743 01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:07,439 Speaker 2: If you hadn't done something for three years, and they said, 1744 01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:11,080 Speaker 2: this is the championship game, give it a go. Would 1745 01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:12,800 Speaker 2: you feel good about that? I don't think you'd feel 1746 01:26:12,840 --> 01:26:14,840 Speaker 2: that good about that. So New England will beat Denver. 1747 01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:17,200 Speaker 2: They'll go on to play Seattle in the Super Bowl 1748 01:26:17,320 --> 01:26:19,679 Speaker 2: and toss a coin nine to nine. 1749 01:26:20,360 --> 01:26:24,240 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's real Estate news dogs 1750 01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:24,920 Speaker 1: there'd be Mike. 1751 01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:27,519 Speaker 2: Fletchers have announced a sale of its construction division two 1752 01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:30,720 Speaker 2: French Vincy. I haven't seen that yet, but I take 1753 01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:32,719 Speaker 2: you word they've been looking to do that for a while, 1754 01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:35,960 Speaker 2: not to the French necessarily, but to I mean the 1755 01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:38,200 Speaker 2: tailor wo for Fletchers over the last couple of years. 1756 01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:41,439 Speaker 2: It's the stuff of a very large book, broadly speaking 1757 01:26:41,479 --> 01:26:44,960 Speaker 2: related growth IMF for out this morning. I should have 1758 01:26:44,960 --> 01:26:48,439 Speaker 2: got this earlier, actually, because quite important anyway. They're quite 1759 01:26:48,479 --> 01:26:51,439 Speaker 2: bullish on the world the IMF. They did do this 1760 01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:55,160 Speaker 2: before Trump went post along Greenland and threatened those tariffs 1761 01:26:55,200 --> 01:26:58,679 Speaker 2: on those eight countries in Europe.
