It is eight minutes after. 18 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: Four News Talk, said B. 19 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 2: So this week we discovered that Health News Zealand has 20 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 2: bad systems for managing financial information. Therefore, the board did 21 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 2: not get an accurate picture of the finances. Therefore, the 22 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 2: ministers didn't get a snapshot, and nobody knew what was 23 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 2: going on. Now, look, I say bad because after a 24 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 2: couple of weeks of routing around, the true picture was found. 25 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 2: So it can't have been all bad. It wasn't that 26 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 2: they had no information, but it was still pretty bad, 27 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 2: so bad that the board has now been replaced by 28 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 2: a commissioner, Dr. Lester Levy, and he's been told to 29 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 2: fix the poor financial management now. To be fair, all 30 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 2: Lester can do in his job is demand that the 31 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 2: Health New Zealand executive get it right, fix it up, 32 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 2: and if you don't, I'll sack you. Or you could 33 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 2: do what Christopher Luxon suggested today, which has sacked them now, 34 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 2: and get better managers. I'm actually when I look at 35 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 2: this in other cases, I feel sorry for politicians like 36 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 2: Andrew Little. So Andrew Little, once upon a time, asked 37 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: Health New Zealand to collapse twenty dhps into one organization. 38 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 2: The executive goes off and says, that's what the minister said, 39 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 2: and they start doing that and then they completely ignore 40 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 2: putting in financial management plans and that's their fault, is 41 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 2: it not. And Little was probably sitting there thinking, oh, 42 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 2: I suppose they've got that sorted and if it didn't, 43 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 2: the board will pick it up. But they didn't do 44 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 2: that either. And the question is is it the minister's 45 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 2: job to have to tell well paid professionals and the 46 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 2: executive their job as a former trade union official supposed 47 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 2: to know how to financially monitor our health system better 48 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 2: than full time health executive professionals. And by the way, 49 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 2: Andrew Little has now paid the price for the bad 50 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 2: idea and the bad execution. He's gone, the board's gone, 51 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 2: but the public servants the executive are still there now. Obviously, 52 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 2: Nikola Willis knows more about running stuff than Andrew Little 53 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 2: because she saw the problem and rooted it out. But 54 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 2: the public services had obviously been hiding it or they've 55 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 2: been ignoring it. And there's still a lot of those 56 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 2: public servants around that can make any government's plans fail, 57 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 2: even if they're Nicolo Wise's or Chrystper Luxeen's. So my 58 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 2: take on it is I get rid of them personally. 59 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 2: I think they've given bad advice to all the ministers. 60 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 2: And my take on that, why aren't they good enough 61 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 2: to do this? Why don't they know that you need 62 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 2: to monitor things financially. It's probably because they're just not 63 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 2: paid enough. Because they're not good enough, and anyone who 64 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 2: actually knows what they're doing are earning far more overseas 65 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 2: or they're working in the private sector, and what we're 66 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 2: left with is the third tier. And I'm sorry, I'm sorry, 67 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 2: I'm being brutal to those public servants, but you are 68 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: the third tier, the up and covers the intention, and 69 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 2: that's why we don't pay you so much. In Singapore, 70 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: the public servants CEOs are the highest paid in the 71 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 2: corporate world and the political world. Why because they're the 72 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 2: best talent and they're the ones who always kick the goals. 73 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 2: News Talk said, be still even after four thousands fewer 74 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 2: family cases are being investigated by police. In March, police 75 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 2: announced that officers would no longer have to attend all 76 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 2: family for callouts. Well, this decision has had an immediate impact, 77 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 2: thousands fewer. In fact, official data shows nearly three thousand 78 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 2: fewer cases were investigated last month compared to December last year. 79 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 2: So I'm joined now by Women's Refuge CEO dtr Ang Jury. 80 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 3: Hello, dr Ang, it's Ange actually Andrew and Tura and 81 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 3: thanks for having me on. 82 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 2: I thank you. Was there a sign eamist? That doesn't matter? Hey? 83 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 4: Is it? 84 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 3: Sah? 85 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 5: Yeah? 86 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 2: Okay, there we go. Is this happening directly as a 87 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 2: result of that mandatory attendance policy being removed? 88 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 3: Well, I'm not entirely sure where the information has come 89 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 3: from and how the article in the Herald was put together. 90 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 3: One thing, I I am a little bit worried about 91 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 3: the numbers that are being mentioned there comparing apples and oranges. 92 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 3: You know, you can't compare figures for June with figures 93 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 3: for December. The November is always a really really high 94 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 3: volume month. 95 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: But the difference is three thousand, and that's still big 96 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 2: and and what is the point of that, Because what 97 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 2: we're seeing is less police turning up to family harm incidents, 98 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 2: and that's bad for the families. 99 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 3: The police haven't actually started implementing this policy yet, apart 100 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 3: from in two relatively small roof of concept sites. They 101 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 3: are still building the new system. Either that or I'm 102 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 3: being directly misinformed. 103 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 2: Have they asked to be involved? See that the call 104 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 2: has gone out in March, is will no longer have 105 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 2: to attend all family arm callouts. I would have thought 106 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 2: the next process was then to talk to interested players 107 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 2: to come up with a system that would then cope 108 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 2: with that, to make sure that agencies were involved, and 109 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 2: I would have thought that your agency, Women's Refuge would 110 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 2: be involved in that consultation process. So my question for 111 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 2: you is have you been consulted on this. 112 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 3: Yes, I've been talking to the commissioner about this policy 113 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 3: and we've had some robust discussions about it. I mean, 114 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 3: obviously I've got concerns, and it would be fair to 115 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 3: say probably that police does as well. But the point 116 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 3: remains that the volume of work that they were being 117 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 3: expected to attend under the mandatory policy, which by the way, 118 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 3: hasn't actually been removed. They've signaled that it's going to 119 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 3: be once the new triaging system is in place. So 120 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:03,799 Speaker 3: I have some sympathy for them. We can't have decent, 121 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 3: robust investigations if police have to roll up to an 122 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 3: incident every fifteen minutes. 123 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 2: And this is true, and this is why the change 124 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 2: was there mooted. The question is how much impact will 125 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 2: they have now or even more so in the future, 126 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 2: and as you mentioned, they are going to go for 127 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 2: a triage system whereby a call center operator then you know, 128 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 2: here's a call from somebody in the middle of a 129 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 2: family harm incident and then makes a call as to 130 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 2: whether that's worthy of having a police person co along. 131 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 2: Now is that a good system because that's putting a 132 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 2: lot of pressure on call centers. 133 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 3: It certainly is. And we haven't seen the risk framework, 134 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 3: the risk assessment framework that's been going to be used. 135 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 3: I mean, obviously there are really niggly worries about it, 136 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 3: and I think the signal that themselves and their advice 137 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 3: to the to the minister. 138 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 2: Well, and we'll keep we'll keep our eye on it 139 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 2: because the parlicy is in process and we'll keep an 140 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 2: eye and see whether it's going to work or not. 141 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 2: And I thank you so much. That's Doctor and Jury 142 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 2: Women's Refuge CEO. And this is news Talks here to 143 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 2: be and Darcy Waldegrave here at a moment. Much excitement 144 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 2: of course during the day because we thought, what the hell, 145 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 2: the French are going to do it anyway, They're going 146 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 2: to go what's the problem with the dirty water?

We thought so of it. 151 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 2: Then they you know, I won't say, checked out, but 152 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 2: suddenly thought, perps, we should delay one day, and they 153 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 2: could possibly delay two days. And will they ever go 154 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 2: for the dw athen or Biathan or whatever they want 155 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 2: to call it. I think it's a dew athen.

Meanwhile, here's US 339 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 2: Secretary of State Anthony Buncoln. 340 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 13: We have serious concerns that the result announced does not 341 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 13: reflect the will or the votes of the Venezuelan people. 342 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 13: It's critical that every vote he counted fairly and transparently. 343 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 2: Now to the horror that the whole world has recoiled from, 344 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 2: and that is two children killed in a stabbing attack 345 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 2: in the UK. A seventeen year old boy has been 346 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 2: arrested in connection with the attack. And here is the 347 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 2: meuse Side police Chief Constable. 348 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 14: I'm here to advise that two children have died as 349 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 14: a result of the injuries sustained in this morning's nine attack. 350 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 14: Nine other children have been injured and six of them 351 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 14: are in a critical condition. All those injured have suffered 352 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,360 Speaker 14: stab wounds sustained during the attack. 353 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 2: And finally, a domestic flight from Houston to Boston. Has 354 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 2: been forced to divert to Washington in DC because of 355 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 2: a biohazard on board. We don't know what exactly the 356 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 2: bio hasard was, but it sounds like it was pretty 357 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 2: bad because here's a pilot, the crew. 358 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 15: Is vomity and passengers all around are. 359 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 2: Are apt for bath as nobody knows the bio hasard's 360 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 2: name or his address. Nobody needed medical attention as a 361 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 2: result of this bio hazard. But the plane is undergoing 362 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 2: a deep. 363 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: Clean international correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of 364 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business. 365 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 2: So after Australia we go Murray Old's welcome to the program. 366 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 2: How they was? 367 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 9: Andrew has things buddy. 368 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 2: Very good, very good. Immigration is the big topic. Tony Berg, 369 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 2: the replacement immigration minister, is getting slammed by the opposition. 370 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 16: Well he is, yeah, but look it's water off Burg's pack. 371 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 16: He's been there a long time. He's the most capable 372 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 16: and the almost one of the most experienced in Albanese's cabinet. 373 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 9: Over here. 374 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,959 Speaker 16: Andrew Giles was the immigration minister, great friend of Anthony Albanize, 375 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 16: but he had to go. He's like a rabbit in 376 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 16: the headlights and it's such a sensitive portfolio. Burke is 377 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 16: from the New South Wales right wing. It's the hardest 378 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 16: branch of the Labor Party by far over here in Australia. 379 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 16: And he's a head kicker par excellence. I mean, Giles 380 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 16: was under intense pressure, you know, the High Court bit 381 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 16: of no favors when it said it ruled against indefinite detention. 382 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 16: But he simply failed to defend the government's position. Burke 383 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 16: nowhere as soft, if we can put it that way. 384 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 16: He was a previous immigration minister under Kevin Rudd and 385 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 16: he's on the front foot right away. The Opposition Shadow 386 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 16: Minister said, oh, Tony Burke's going to be soft when 387 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 16: conducting security checks for migrants because there's lots of Muslims 388 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 16: in his electorate in Western Sydney. And Burke's replied, what 389 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 16: an idiotic comment from someone who's never ever been a minister. 390 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 9: Just this flea in the Senate. 391 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 16: So it's on for one and all, and I don't 392 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 16: think you're going to see Tony Burke taking it backward 393 00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 16: step no. 394 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 2: No, no. But here's the thing is he's quite a bit 395 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 2: of argibadgie. Because Andrew Giles let in one hundred and 396 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 2: fifty detainees and they have been causing trouble. There's like 397 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 2: twenty six reports of crimes by those detainees. Yeah, for 398 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 2: sure in just three months, muzz I mean, their productivity 399 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 2: is enormous and they are trouble. 400 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 16: But the governments have been arguing its hands are tired. 401 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 16: It can't defive the High Court and lock these people 402 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 16: up again unless they do something else. And that's the problem. 403 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 16: That's what that's the that's the big problem the government's had. 404 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 16: The High Court said you can't lock people up indefinitely. 405 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 16: And you know, and these were bad people been sorted 406 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 16: out and seeded out if you like, and identified as 407 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 16: potential problems. Well the high courts let them out of 408 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 16: the community and they've proved to be problems big time. 409 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 9: And yes, you say, some pretty serious crime. 410 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right to Barnaby Joyce and his apology after 411 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 2: his colorful I mean, what do you call it, his language, 412 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 2: his metaphors, his analogies. 413 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 9: Yeah, look, look. 414 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 16: He's a serial buffet and opens his mouth to change 415 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 16: feet all that sort of stuff. 416 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 9: His electorate loves the guy. 417 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 16: He's up there in northern New South Wales and the 418 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 16: country Barnaby, Joyce can walk on water up there. 419 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 9: What he did at there was a. 420 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 16: Big protest rally against a wind farm, you know, the 421 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,679 Speaker 16: right wing of he hates anything to do with renewable energy. 422 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 16: And Joyce said, listen, when you hop into the ballot 423 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 16: box necktime. Next time, make those ballot papers bullets, load 424 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 16: the magazine and these little pieces of paper of bullets, 425 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 16: and get ready to load your magazine. Goodbye Bowen, which 426 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 16: is the Energy Minister, Chris Bowen, and goodbye Elbow of 427 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 16: course the Prime Minister. For his part, Albanese says, a 428 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 16: Peter Dutton should sack Barnaby. 429 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 9: Well, that's not going to happen anytime. 430 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 2: Soon, got it. And I was just thinking about all 431 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 2: your you've said already in this thing.

I mean, if we ever get stuck 435 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 2: on some colorful language, it will will be a poorer place, 436 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 2: that's right, particularly with you Murray. And finally, a woman 437 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 2: sent to jail after she forced her daughter to marry 438 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,640 Speaker 2: an older man who later killed her. 439 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 16: Yes, six weeks into the marriage.

I'll get to 501 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 18: the accusations of racism soon, but there were some other 502 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 18: light zingers that came beforehand, such as this excellent Shane 503 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 18: exchange between Aischaviril and Shane RETTI have a listen. 504 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 19: Isn't it a bit rich to accuse others of being 505 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 19: poor governors when one week after his announcement he's still 506 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 19: not really clear what the management structure of Tifatura really is. 507 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 20: Mister speaker, what is not rich as Health New Zealand 508 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 20: because of the deficit that member left. 509 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 19: Does his private health insurance cover injury sustained while being 510 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 19: thrown under the bus by the PM. 511 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 18: I think doctor Shane got the better of doctor Verel there, but. 512 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 2: Of course he came back so fast. There is quick reflexes, 513 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 2: quick humor. That's very good done. 514 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 18: It is and you don't often see that from doctor Shane, 515 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 18: who's usually quite clinical and quite black and white in 516 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 18: what he says. But I thought it had quite a 517 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 18: bit you could hear in the background. But the real 518 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 18: problem today happened when a Green Party MP of Ricardo 519 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 18: Menendez March stood up in the house instead the following. 520 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 21: Just wanted to raise a matter of that it take 521 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 21: personal offense to just finished a matter that I took 522 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 21: personal offense to. Oh yeah, so after the point of 523 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 21: forwarder that I did in relationship to Tamotha Paul's question, 524 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 21: Todd McLay, the Minister of Trade, through a bar back, saying, quote, 525 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 21: as best as I can understand, you're not in mexicanal, 526 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 21: we don't do things like that here. 527 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 18: So, in case you didn't hear, he said, you're not 528 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 18: in Mexico now, we don't do that things here. Is 529 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 18: that what he alleged that Todd McClay said in the house. 530 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 18: Now Tod McLay, of course, being the Trade minister, and 531 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 18: Riccardo is from Mexico. So Speaker Jerry brownly did the 532 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 18: basically the one thing that he could in this instance 533 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 18: and asked Todd McLay, if he did do it, to 534 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 18: stand up, withdraw and apologize for the comment. So the 535 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 18: house watched as sheepish Todd McLay stood up and addressed 536 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 18: his peers, I withdrawal apologize so you can hear in 537 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 18: the backgrounds what you say. Oh my gosh, In fact, 538 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 18: Chris Hipkins saying good luck getting a trade deal with Mexico. 539 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 18: Now on that one. Now speaking to me to outside 540 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 18: the house, Riccardo called out McLay further follow. 541 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 21: Trade Minister, who represents this in the world stage. I 542 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 21: think those outright racist and cenaphobic comments I'm defending off 543 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:29,919 Speaker 21: a trade minister and it was listen, it's. 544 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 18: Just plain stupid from McLay. I mean there's microphones everywhere. 545 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 18: He sits quite close to the opposition MPs, and of 546 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 18: course it's offensive and I think that he should have probably, 547 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 18: you know, he owes Riccardo more than just an apology here. 548 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 18: I think he should probably go and make amends. But 549 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,880 Speaker 18: it's just as stupid distraction for the government, I think. 550 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, and that's what the House is for. For 551 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 2: a bit of this fun speaking of the heightened levels 552 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 2: of tensions. Here some real stuff. The Maori Wards legislation 553 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 2: had its third reading today and how did that play out? 554 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 18: Indeed, that is correct. It is just went through the 555 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 18: House and that has been scrapped. It's been repealed. The 556 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 18: third reading went through. You can probably imagine how it 557 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 18: played out in the House today. Here's a bit of it. 558 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 22: This is a shameful day for our parliament, mister Speaker, 559 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 22: as we pass another piece of legislation that discriminates against Marty, 560 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 22: that treats Marty differently to other New Zealanders. 561 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 18: So I'll go through the legislation now because everybody's pretty 562 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 18: under clued up on what it is. But there was 563 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 18: a lot of opposition to it, including of course by 564 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 18: Tipati Marti. And here's what MP Mariameno Kappaccini said about 565 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 18: it just moments ago. 566 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 23: The removal of Marti Wards is merely another open invite 567 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 23: to race this across this fenua to the open season 568 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 23: against Ewie Madi. This open invite is welcomed by this 569 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 23: government and in fact it reinforces their agenda that would 570 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 23: see our open and upfront extermination as a people, in 571 00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 23: whatever sense that may be. 572 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 18: So you know, extermination is probably a bit extreme here. 573 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 18: It's not really surprising given the use of inflammatory language 574 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,719 Speaker 18: that's been used by Ti Parti Marti in the House before. 575 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 18: But the party you know there last week were the 576 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 18: ones that called for a bit more decorum in the house. 577 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 18: So again I said it was ironic at the time. Now, 578 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 18: one person who was not happy about this was National's 579 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 18: James Mega, who had had a guts full of the 580 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 18: opposition today. 581 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 24: So here's a message to the tens of thousands of individuals, 582 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 24: of children, of young people, of workers out there in 583 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 24: New Zealand who identify who fuck Papa Maldi, who don't 584 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 24: look like them, who don't think like them, who don't 585 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 24: share their worldview, and who they think don't count. Well, 586 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 24: those people do count, and we share the view that 587 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 24: their individual views count. Whether they share the views of 588 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 24: Willie Jackson or to Party Maldi, their views count. 589 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 18: So you can tell how worried the opposition is about 590 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 18: that certain MP with all the background noise. And I 591 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 18: tell you what, James Meagher gets up to speak, he 592 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 18: gets a lot of feedback from the opposition, so I 593 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 18: would say he's certainly one to watch good stuff. 594 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 2: Jason, Can I just say that I've found some of 595 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 2: the stuff that DEPARTI Marley have seen some of their 596 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 2: rhetoric to be far more aggressive than anything you've ever 597 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:15,479 Speaker 2: reported on today. 598 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 18: This is unfortunately getting pretty par for the course, Like 599 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 18: this is not even the first time they've used the 600 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 18: word extermination in the house. 601 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 2: So yeah, pot kettle black and I thank you so 602 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 2: much for your time today.

It seems like Karen 726 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,359 Speaker 4: Anx and police officers at the scene all agree they 727 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,360 Speaker 4: saw kind of that cut, a graze or something in 728 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:10,239 Speaker 4: the middle of his forehead. Here's Constable Andrew Rowlands, like 729 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 4: pretty much right. 730 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 10: In the center of his forehead. How would you describe it, Ah, 731 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,360 Speaker 10: It's probably about maybe no bigger than the size of 732 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:23,400 Speaker 10: a golf ball in terms of the diameter, And it 733 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,799 Speaker 10: was more like a graze. It didn't like as if 734 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:27,919 Speaker 10: you know, you'd bang your head on concrete or something. 735 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 10: Didn't look like a deep cut or anything. 736 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,480 Speaker 2: Chelsea did because we'll say anything else, because he was 737 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 2: the one who got poking Hern's first statement. 738 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,320 Speaker 4: Yes, so he was. In that statement, which took about 739 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,320 Speaker 4: forty odd minutes to take, he explained the events of 740 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,279 Speaker 4: the night before and that morning. He had mentioned that 741 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,880 Speaker 4: Hannah had his history of depression. She was taking antidepression. 742 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 10: Pauline has been on and off depressed for several years. 743 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 10: She takes some antidepressant medication. I'm not sure what it's called. 744 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,920 Speaker 10: She has been taking it for several years. I'm not 745 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,880 Speaker 10: sure if she still has been taking it recently. She 746 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 10: has also suffered from bolimia about five years ago. She 747 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 10: has been taking weight reduction medication. Also, Pauline has been 748 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:23,720 Speaker 10: exhausted in recent times. This has been mainly from working 749 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:25,360 Speaker 10: such long hours. 750 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,840 Speaker 4: After Polkinghorn finished giving his statement, he read each cage 751 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,320 Speaker 4: and he signed them a comfortable Roland then handed the 752 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:38,560 Speaker 4: signed document over to his sergeant, Chris Duillian gave him. 753 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:43,520 Speaker 10: All the papers and at that point Sergeant Chris had 754 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 10: written on his hand the number one in the letter 755 00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 10: C and he showed it to me, which is basically 756 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,439 Speaker 10: police code for suspicious circumstances. 757 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 4: So by late morning, before Polkinghorn's statement was finished, officers 758 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,440 Speaker 4: were treating this seen as suspicious. We'll be hearing more 759 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,239 Speaker 4: from the crown witnesses tomorrow as well. 760 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 2: And indeed, just a little while ago in the court 761 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,880 Speaker 2: we heard a bit more detail about Pauline Hannah's body 762 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:10,839 Speaker 2: and the injuries she had. 763 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, so Detective Comfortable Brook Everson gave evidence this afternoon. 764 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 4: She was in charge of Hannah's body. She was found 765 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,880 Speaker 4: on the ground covered with a douvet with a pillow 766 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,439 Speaker 4: under her hand, lying on her back. She was wearing 767 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,319 Speaker 4: a white dress and down tied with a knot at 768 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,120 Speaker 4: the waist. It's kind of like a robe waistband. Her 769 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 4: head was tilted to the left and there was obvious 770 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,320 Speaker 4: markings on her neck about three centimeters in width in 771 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,280 Speaker 4: a cliss cross kind of pattern. On the right side 772 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 4: of the front of her neck. There was a cut 773 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,760 Speaker 4: on the left side of the bridge of her nose. 774 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 4: It was fresh, not scabbed over, she said, and there 775 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 4: was blood coming from her left to ear. There was 776 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,840 Speaker 4: some bruising on her inner right side, and on her 777 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,520 Speaker 4: left hand. There was blood between her four and middle fingers, 778 00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 4: but that didn't appear to be a cut. It was 779 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 4: just so we'll hear more about that tomorrow. 780 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 2: Chelsea Daniels, thank you. So much.

So we had four hours four hours morning. 826 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 2: You had four hours warning and Hayden, of course, we 827 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 2: went to bed the night before, he'd done all the 828 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 2: dietary preparations. I would have presumed to get ready for 829 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 2: race the next day at four in the morning, I 830 00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:21,360 Speaker 2: presume he's still asleep. 831 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 5: He was still asleep. Yeah, he woke up. 832 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 28: He woke up about five o'clock, as did Dylan McCulloch, 833 00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,440 Speaker 28: and they came out of their rooms. 834 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,239 Speaker 5: We've got a small apartment just close to the. 835 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,759 Speaker 28: Race menu for the night before the race, so we 836 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,360 Speaker 28: moved in yesterday afternoon and so yeah, they woke up 837 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,839 Speaker 28: this morning at five and came out of the room 838 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 28: and I gat in the news and they promptly went 839 00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:41,359 Speaker 28: back to bed and felt went back asleep. 840 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,040 Speaker 5: So're still in be able to sleep now? 841 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,839 Speaker 2: Well, how debilitating is this for some of the most 842 00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 2: finely tuned bodies on the planet who have spent four 843 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:54,440 Speaker 2: years practicing, eating and working towards a particular day and 844 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:55,520 Speaker 2: a particular race. 845 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,160 Speaker 28: Yeah, it's funny you say it, because Hayden's comment was, 846 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,320 Speaker 28: I've wasted all these mornings getting up at six am 847 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 28: for an eight am start when I you know, if 848 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:05,879 Speaker 28: it was going to be ten forty five, I would 849 00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:07,960 Speaker 28: have got up later to all my training session. So 850 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,759 Speaker 28: so I mean, I think one of the key things 851 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 28: about being an a lead athlete is that you're adaptable 852 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,400 Speaker 28: and you're able to take these kind of things in 853 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,000 Speaker 28: your stride and not let it bother you. So you know, 854 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,120 Speaker 28: I'm sure both these two boys here will be We'll 855 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 28: be doing that for the rest of the day and 856 00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:24,680 Speaker 28: then we'll just get ready we have to go again tomorrow. 857 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:26,600 Speaker 2: This is a fascinating story, but with terribly late. I've 858 00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,959 Speaker 2: got one big question for you. Would you be shocked 859 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,360 Speaker 2: if the race was postponed again? And what would happen 860 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,439 Speaker 2: if it becomes a de athlete? How do you feel 861 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:34,759 Speaker 2: about that? 862 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:38,400 Speaker 5: I wouldn't be shocked. 863 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,319 Speaker 28: I'd be disappointed if it was cancer again or postponed again. 864 00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 28: They do have some other dates later in the in 865 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,759 Speaker 28: the schedule for the Olympics to run the event, if 866 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:48,879 Speaker 28: that's if it comes to that, so and the last 867 00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:52,400 Speaker 28: resorters it turns into a juazzalon. Personally, I think the 868 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:56,120 Speaker 28: juasalone would suit Hayden really well, Like he's a real, 869 00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:59,279 Speaker 28: very strong runner and he'd better expose Alex Year on 870 00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,359 Speaker 28: the bike on a kind of one on one match 871 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:02,360 Speaker 28: up almost so. 872 00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,160 Speaker 5: We've actually seen them really well.

The government has 923 00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 2: switched on some new satellite dishes which we are meant 924 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,880 Speaker 2: to save us all from fog delays at the airport. 925 00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,520 Speaker 2: It's a new facility in Southend and that's going to 926 00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 2: work along with another station in Australia.

Is the Land Information Minister 930 00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:05,520 Speaker 2: and joins me. Now, hello Chris, good afternoon. So does 931 00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:07,880 Speaker 2: this mean my plane will no longer be delayed by 932 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:09,120 Speaker 2: the fog and Auckland airport? 933 00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,239 Speaker 29: Well, it should certainly reduce the number of delays and 934 00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,520 Speaker 29: cancelations as a result of bad weather, whether it's failed 935 00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,640 Speaker 29: or other restrictive visibility. So we're really excited if that 936 00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,520 Speaker 29: makes you more able to get around the country without 937 00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,279 Speaker 29: those destructions. In think search and rescue as well. There's 938 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,120 Speaker 29: a whole heap of different applications that's going to help out, 939 00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,000 Speaker 29: even just in aviation, and then you've got a whole 940 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,719 Speaker 29: heap of other uses for it as well. So that's 941 00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:33,719 Speaker 29: really exciting, I know. 942 00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,560 Speaker 2: But the planes right up and down the country wherever 943 00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,840 Speaker 2: there are fogs, that's a direct cost of productivity. So 944 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,759 Speaker 2: if we get an increase in there, that's good for 945 00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:46,200 Speaker 2: New Zealand. In what sort of increase in productivity, increase 946 00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,080 Speaker 2: in the number of flights that we will go in 947 00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:49,240 Speaker 2: fog will we get. 948 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,120 Speaker 29: Well, look, it's difficult to know the exact number because 949 00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:55,440 Speaker 29: the technology is improving all the time. And look the 950 00:47:55,520 --> 00:48:00,640 Speaker 29: difference between what you've cited as a meta accuracy and 951 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,200 Speaker 29: what it actually might be In some cases down to 952 00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:06,800 Speaker 29: ten centimeters would you believe could make all the difference 953 00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,520 Speaker 29: between a flight being able to land safely or not. 954 00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:13,040 Speaker 29: So as the technology improves over time and we get 955 00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:17,480 Speaker 29: refined positions with various repeater stations around New Zealand and Australia. 956 00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,040 Speaker 29: The possibilities just become endless. 957 00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:22,600 Speaker 2: Well, I understand that er Young has already modeled this 958 00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:24,920 Speaker 2: and said sixty five percent drop in the number of 959 00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:25,600 Speaker 2: flights canceled. 960 00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:25,960 Speaker 5: That's good. 961 00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:28,600 Speaker 29: Yeah, that'll be incredible, won't it. 962 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:28,960 Speaker 9: Yeah. 963 00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:30,879 Speaker 29: I mean any kind of change, like you say, from 964 00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,480 Speaker 29: a productivity point of view, and not having people sitting 965 00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:37,040 Speaker 29: around calling their heels in the airport, but also just 966 00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 29: on a human level, you know, to have that certain 967 00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:43,600 Speaker 29: t that can get around much more confidently and suddenly 968 00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:45,600 Speaker 29: it's going to provide a huge boom. 969 00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,000 Speaker 2: So what is the cost? How much did this piece 970 00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:48,719 Speaker 2: of kit cost? 971 00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:52,480 Speaker 29: I don't know if you have a breakdown for the 972 00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,880 Speaker 29: individual bits of kit, but I mean suddenly a serious. 973 00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,160 Speaker 2: As a project. As a project, how much does this 974 00:48:58,239 --> 00:48:58,920 Speaker 2: project costs? 975 00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:01,759 Speaker 29: I don't actually a bit from in front of me, 976 00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,520 Speaker 29: which is remissive me. But what I will say is 977 00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,960 Speaker 29: that to give credit where it's too, it's been a 978 00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,480 Speaker 29: cost that's been committed to over successive governments. You know, 979 00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,160 Speaker 29: these are not long these these are our long run 980 00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,160 Speaker 29: investments that need to be made. So the fact that 981 00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,560 Speaker 29: the last government picked up our previous work in the 982 00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:20,919 Speaker 29: fact we're carrying Oh, I think this is good things 983 00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,279 Speaker 29: about the value of it to New Zealand. Inkame that 984 00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,640 Speaker 29: doesn't need to be a particularly political metter. 985 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,640 Speaker 2: Therefore, very good Chris pink Land, Information Minister, and I 986 00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:30,959 Speaker 2: thank you for your time.

And speaking of costs, the New Zealand Film 990 00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,240 Speaker 2: Commission had a couple of parties, one for saying goodbye 991 00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:43,120 Speaker 2: to a chief executive and one for saying hello to 992 00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,160 Speaker 2: the new one.

And 1014 00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,000 Speaker 2: so reality is starting to kick in a little bit. 1015 00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,520 Speaker 2: People are not mitigating their behavior, but what can they do. 1016 00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,399 Speaker 2: We've got a mathematics professor in to actually really quench 1017 00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:04,880 Speaker 2: the numbers and get down and get into it and 1018 00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:06,880 Speaker 2: look at the science.

Andrew, Look another week another adjoining your show 1035 00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:12,200 Speaker 15: or joining zb if to get another story of the 1036 00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:15,799 Speaker 15: Film Commission spaffing money up the wall. If I had 1037 00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,480 Speaker 15: that sort of behavior, the idea of me signing off 1038 00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,400 Speaker 15: on or scratching the back of my replacement and him 1039 00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,319 Speaker 15: scratching my back to sign off on each of these 1040 00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:27,000 Speaker 15: parties in any private sector organization, you'd be marched down 1041 00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,359 Speaker 15: the road, but not at the Film Commission. They seem 1042 00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,200 Speaker 15: to live on another planet funded by other people. 1043 00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:34,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, sixteen four hundred and thirty one dollars is what 1044 00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,760 Speaker 2: they blew. There are fifty four staff. They don't actually 1045 00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,600 Speaker 2: make a film, They just wonder about whether a film 1046 00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:43,000 Speaker 2: should be made. Why is it these public servants haven't 1047 00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,320 Speaker 2: actually got the memo that says don't spend money for 1048 00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:46,880 Speaker 2: a bit survived till twenty. 1049 00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:50,440 Speaker 15: Five because the Film Commission actually don't think that the 1050 00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:54,000 Speaker 15: rules apply to them. I mean, let's you know, I 1051 00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:57,480 Speaker 15: wasn't exaggerating that. You know that we're always talking about 1052 00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:00,560 Speaker 15: the Film Commission. You know they've had two party. There 1053 00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:02,400 Speaker 15: was not just one party for the outgoing guy and 1054 00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:04,200 Speaker 15: one for the incoming you know, they had to have 1055 00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:07,879 Speaker 15: one in each of Wellington and Auckland. And if only 1056 00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,719 Speaker 15: they didn't go through many, so many CEOs. Of course, 1057 00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,560 Speaker 15: you remember David Strong cost taxpayers and the only seven 1058 00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:15,960 Speaker 15: hundred thousand to get rid of him, including a four 1059 00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,080 Speaker 15: hundred and forty thousand dollars golden good bye. You know, 1060 00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:23,640 Speaker 15: there's very clearly problems at the Film Commission. You know, 1061 00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:27,520 Speaker 15: they spend six and a half million dollars on staff costs, 1062 00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:31,240 Speaker 15: fifty four people to dole out only thirty million in grants. 1063 00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:35,280 Speaker 15: The films that they give money to the box office 1064 00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:40,080 Speaker 15: is less than the subsidies that taxpayers front up and 1065 00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:44,120 Speaker 15: pay for. You know that there's real questions here. Taxpayers 1066 00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:47,239 Speaker 15: Union were set up to sort of highlight government waste. Look, 1067 00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:48,840 Speaker 15: this whole organization is. 1068 00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:52,719 Speaker 2: So can we cut them some slack? For instance, the 1069 00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:56,160 Speaker 2: approval for the spending was done in mid twenty twenty three, 1070 00:53:56,560 --> 00:54:02,160 Speaker 2: arguably before this government's big savings drive, so they could 1071 00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,680 Speaker 2: argue ignorance. 1072 00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:08,439 Speaker 15: Couldn't they No whether it was wasted a year ago 1073 00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:12,560 Speaker 15: or today, it's still taxpayer money. I think even even 1074 00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:15,600 Speaker 15: the last government wouldn't for a moment defend this. I mean, 1075 00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:19,000 Speaker 15: the whole point of this agency, as best we can tell, 1076 00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,839 Speaker 15: is to use taxpayer funded champagne to cope another Lord 1077 00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:24,759 Speaker 15: of the Rings. But they're not even doing that. 1078 00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,680 Speaker 2: Do you think, though, that the government should actually send 1079 00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,239 Speaker 2: out a directive? I mean, the hinters obviously have been 1080 00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,279 Speaker 2: sent out loud and clear, but they have to do 1081 00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:33,680 Speaker 2: they have to put it out on paper and say 1082 00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:35,400 Speaker 2: just no more parties. 1083 00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,640 Speaker 15: Well it's yeah, I mean, Paul Goldsmith's the Minister of 1084 00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,800 Speaker 15: yards the Ministry uts to do his job. Call in 1085 00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,680 Speaker 15: the political appointments that sit on this board and say 1086 00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:48,799 Speaker 15: do your job. You have to your successive chief executives 1087 00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:52,200 Speaker 15: that what first got themselves into trouble. And now the 1088 00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,560 Speaker 15: middle one and the most recent are clearly showing they 1089 00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:00,440 Speaker 15: can't read the room. You know, a year ago were 1090 00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:04,440 Speaker 15: still under there, still under the cost of living pressure. 1091 00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,880 Speaker 15: You know that we've previously called out the Film Commission 1092 00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:11,920 Speaker 15: for sending half a dozen people to literally the purpose 1093 00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:15,040 Speaker 15: of going to Alas to attend the after parties at 1094 00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:18,560 Speaker 15: various awards and the hopes of schmoozing someone with our 1095 00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:21,040 Speaker 15: money to come and set up and do something in 1096 00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:24,680 Speaker 15: New Zealand. I mean this is this is literally a 1097 00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:29,640 Speaker 15: government agency that just operates totally outside the rules. They're 1098 00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:32,160 Speaker 15: allowed to have modest farewell parties. 1099 00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,640 Speaker 2: I hope so okay had four of them.

They turn over thirty four 1142 00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:26,800 Speaker 31: million dollars a year, They have to work with people 1143 00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,160 Speaker 31: like Jackson. They have to go to LA to meet 1144 00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,280 Speaker 31: these people. And if Jordan wants to call it smooth, 1145 00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:34,320 Speaker 31: we can. But he's really just got to stop making this. 1146 00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,040 Speaker 2: At Tim Wilson. That's not It's not called it a party. 1147 00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:38,960 Speaker 2: YT's not even call it an event. Let's call it 1148 00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,480 Speaker 2: practicing for schmoozing for when they do schmoozing on the 1149 00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:43,240 Speaker 2: big stages. How about that would that work for you? 1150 00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:46,000 Speaker 30: Well, I I don't know, have you ever been to 1151 00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:49,520 Speaker 30: one of these farewell and welcome parties that the word party? 1152 00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,520 Speaker 30: Maybe you do might be more appropriate. So it's quite 1153 00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:55,640 Speaker 30: ye know, it's quite making at an event, Yeah, exactly. 1154 00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:59,760 Speaker 30: But maybe the team wrote four dues over two months. 1155 00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:03,360 Speaker 30: Maybe they could have just amalgam at sixteen sixteen and 1156 00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:04,840 Speaker 30: a half k. Maybe they just could have had the 1157 00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:08,320 Speaker 30: one for five k and you really pushed out of 1158 00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:10,240 Speaker 30: the boost budget or maybe put in the cash bar. 1159 00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:13,400 Speaker 30: What I thought was interesting though the guy leaving was 1160 00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:16,080 Speaker 30: thirty years service. I've got to say that if I 1161 00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:18,840 Speaker 30: see a sort of TV with thirty years in the 1162 00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:22,560 Speaker 30: same place, I'd ask some questions. But that establishes a 1163 00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,760 Speaker 30: measure eight k for thirty years, So then if the 1164 00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:28,760 Speaker 30: next CEO does three years, it can be ten percent. 1165 00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,320 Speaker 30: And so you've got a budget of eight hundred bucks 1166 00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,160 Speaker 30: spenters deaveloys and it finishes before the last bus of 1167 00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:35,960 Speaker 30: Candala good stuff. 1168 00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:39,200 Speaker 2: Tim Wilson and Alie Jones. I've always said that a 1169 00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:41,000 Speaker 2: lot of public service these days of the young up 1170 00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:43,120 Speaker 2: and comers and the indentured. So thirty years sounds a 1171 00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:43,480 Speaker 2: bit like that. 1172 00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:44,000 Speaker 5: But there we go. 1173 00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:45,640 Speaker 2: It's fifteen to six. We're back in a month. 1174 00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:50,960 Speaker 1: The Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International realty, exceptional marketing 1175 00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:52,840 Speaker 1: for every property, all. 1176 00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,280 Speaker 2: Right, not on the huddle, Tim Wilson and Alie Jones. Now, 1177 00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:58,760 Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, I've seen the saddest white board on Earth. 1178 00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:01,040 Speaker 2: I went into the control room just down the road 1179 00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:04,160 Speaker 2: from the news talks at b for our commentary's team 1180 00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:08,520 Speaker 2: at the Olympic Games, and there's a competition they like 1181 00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:12,000 Speaker 2: to play amongst each other. It's like who gets to 1182 00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:14,360 Speaker 2: call the most medals? So up there and there's a 1183 00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:16,800 Speaker 2: table medal table there, and then it's got the names. 1184 00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:21,640 Speaker 2: It's got the names Alders, Coops, Elliott, Malcolm, Nick, Compiney 1185 00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:25,600 Speaker 2: our commentators. And then it's got gold, silver and bronze. 1186 00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:31,200 Speaker 2: And there's not one medal, not one medal. Normally apparently 1187 00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,520 Speaker 2: Malcolm Malcolm Jordan wins. He gets the most medals to call. 1188 00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:38,680 Speaker 2: So you're chuckling already, are How are you feeling about 1189 00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:41,920 Speaker 2: the total lack of metal in our in our larder? 1190 00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:45,160 Speaker 30: Well, we had we had to wait a week. We 1191 00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:48,400 Speaker 30: had to wait a week in Beijing, in Athens and Sydney. 1192 00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:52,760 Speaker 30: Maybe maybe kiwis are just like starters anyway, sports about participation, 1193 00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:57,440 Speaker 30: Like guys stop winning or losing. Are you saying winnings 1194 00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:57,920 Speaker 30: for winners? 1195 00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:00,080 Speaker 2: It was about branding and national pride and also to 1196 01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,120 Speaker 2: make yourself feel better in the cost of living crisis. 1197 01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:05,600 Speaker 31: Ali, No, No, I'm a Crusader supporter, and we know 1198 01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:08,080 Speaker 31: how to pace ourselves down here and still come out winners. 1199 01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:09,160 Speaker 31: So I'm not panicking. 1200 01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:11,280 Speaker 2: You also learned how to lose this year. Can I 1201 01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:13,040 Speaker 2: just say, hey, look. 1202 01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:14,720 Speaker 31: Let's just look go there for the moment. I'm talking 1203 01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:17,400 Speaker 31: about previous years, Andrew, you should know that. And actually, 1204 01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:19,760 Speaker 31: is it about the meddle count as Tim just said, 1205 01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:21,760 Speaker 31: you know, I would rather it be just as much 1206 01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:24,120 Speaker 31: about the stories of the games and the athletes and 1207 01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:27,000 Speaker 31: the opening ceremony and the naked blue guy. I mean, 1208 01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:30,080 Speaker 31: I think that stuff is really important to give us 1209 01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:32,840 Speaker 31: a flavor of the games. One thing you might know, 1210 01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:35,360 Speaker 31: because I haven't been following them and don't follow them closely. 1211 01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:37,480 Speaker 31: Are our best events still to come? 1212 01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:39,240 Speaker 12: Is that part of this issue? 1213 01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:39,520 Speaker 9: Yeah? 1214 01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:43,160 Speaker 2: Rowing, sailing, Aaron Gates is cycling.

There's nothing lazier or 1219 01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:57,960 Speaker 30: silly of the blasphemy. 1220 01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:02,040 Speaker 17: Let's oh you know I should know that. 1221 01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:03,680 Speaker 31: Come, I'm sorry, this. 1222 01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:09,800 Speaker 2: My agreeably, Tim, Tim, can I say, okay, I'm going 1223 01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:12,320 Speaker 2: to disagree with you there because I as I understand it, 1224 01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:15,120 Speaker 2: that naked blue guy was Dansis, who was actually part 1225 01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:17,480 Speaker 2: of a takeoff of a French painting which is all 1226 01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:20,840 Speaker 2: about the gods at Olympus, which was painted by a 1227 01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:23,200 Speaker 2: painter who was inspired by the picture of the Last Supper, 1228 01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:25,240 Speaker 2: So it wasn't in fact, that's first. How do you 1229 01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:25,720 Speaker 2: feel about that? 1230 01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:28,960 Speaker 30: Yeah, no, I've heard I've heard that theory. But the 1231 01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:31,800 Speaker 30: Olympics did apologize about mocking the Last Supper, so if 1232 01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:34,280 Speaker 30: they apologized for it, probably. 1233 01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:37,840 Speaker 2: Doing it, they should really be apologizing for the absolute 1234 01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:42,720 Speaker 2: lack of you know, swimmi our medals and the swim water. 1235 01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:48,440 Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's heartbreaking too, all right, Okay McDonald's 1236 01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:53,680 Speaker 2: grappling with falling sails, now, Tim, you feed children, this 1237 01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:54,160 Speaker 2: must be. 1238 01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:55,880 Speaker 26: It is. 1239 01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:58,920 Speaker 30: It is expensive, and they're they're they're doing this at 1240 01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:01,280 Speaker 30: a time when I think out and Dominoes they're having 1241 01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:03,520 Speaker 30: a price war.

But the kids always want a drink, 1245 01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,520 Speaker 30: so discount the drink. That's what I'm saying to macs 1246 01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:15,120 Speaker 30: free drinks. 1247 01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:17,560 Speaker 2: You know what, I just asked our research department to 1248 01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:19,919 Speaker 2: tell me how much it is for a big mac, 1249 01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:22,400 Speaker 2: a medium coked medium phrase in other words, known as 1250 01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,560 Speaker 2: the medium combo, because as I understand that that is 1251 01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:28,680 Speaker 2: a standard for all currencies, just like gold and all 1252 01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:31,680 Speaker 2: sorts of other things you can compare internationally. You can 1253 01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:34,000 Speaker 2: compare the state of the economies by the cost of 1254 01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:36,720 Speaker 2: a big mac medium combo. And then our research department 1255 01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:39,280 Speaker 2: says it changes in every restaurant nowadays, And I thought, well, 1256 01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:39,919 Speaker 2: that's just wrong. 1257 01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:42,320 Speaker 30: Yeah, that's true. 1258 01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:45,360 Speaker 31: See I remember going overseas and going into restaurants, and 1259 01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:46,880 Speaker 31: you were supposed to look at the price of the 1260 01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:48,600 Speaker 31: big Mac. I don't know about the combo thing, but 1261 01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:52,120 Speaker 31: certainly the big big Mac was an indication. Then you 1262 01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:55,720 Speaker 31: know your takeaway food term, that is unbelievable.

Heather dupleic Allen drive with 1277 01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:30,960 Speaker 1: one New Zealand one Giant Leap for Business News Talk ZIBBB. 1278 01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:34,440 Speaker 2: I'm Andrew Dickinson for Heather. She's back on Monday. We've 1279 01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:36,160 Speaker 2: got the news coming up at six and then we're 1280 01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:38,560 Speaker 2: right into it. We'll look at the New Zealand ditching 1281 01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:40,560 Speaker 2: the emission reduction targets, and then later we're going to 1282 01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:45,800 Speaker 2: talk to Casey Costello about this interesting tobacco excise story, 1283 01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:49,280 Speaker 2: which is a little a little confusing and a little complex. 1284 01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:53,840 Speaker 2: The story goes that the government and Associate Health Minister 1285 01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:57,360 Speaker 2: Casey Costello, who is also the Custom Minister, have decided 1286 01:03:57,440 --> 01:04:00,320 Speaker 2: to make a fifty percent cut to the excise on 1287 01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:04,400 Speaker 2: a thing called htps. Now, they are a new cigarette 1288 01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:08,680 Speaker 2: that's where tobacco is heated into a vapor rather than burnt. 1289 01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:13,320 Speaker 2: So it's apparently better for you, and the tobacco companies 1290 01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:16,520 Speaker 2: are thinking, excellent, we can keep selling something and we 1291 01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:19,360 Speaker 2: can keep making money even as everyone starts to give 1292 01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:23,600 Speaker 2: up smoking. So we cut the XCIZE tax on those 1293 01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:28,920 Speaker 2: products by fifty percent. Now, it has been found out 1294 01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,880 Speaker 2: in a cabinet paper released without fanfare on the Health 1295 01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:35,280 Speaker 2: Ministry's website that Cabinet has agreed to set aside two 1296 01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:38,560 Speaker 2: hundred and sixteen million dollars to cover the lost revenue. 1297 01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:42,520 Speaker 2: Now that is a lot of htps. So at the moment, 1298 01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:45,800 Speaker 2: we sell about six million dollars worth of htps because 1299 01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:48,800 Speaker 2: it's a new product. To get two hundred and sixteen 1300 01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:52,120 Speaker 2: million dollars worth of XCIZE tax off the things suggests 1301 01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:55,000 Speaker 2: that they're thinking that this is going to explode, that 1302 01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:58,360 Speaker 2: the use of the htps is going to explode. Now, 1303 01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:01,360 Speaker 2: the government, or Casey Costello in particular, will argue that 1304 01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:08,480 Speaker 2: this is a tobacco sensation I shouldn't say sensation cesstation device. 1305 01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:10,760 Speaker 2: But at the same time, this is a very good 1306 01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:13,160 Speaker 2: deal for the tobacco companies who are desperately looking to 1307 01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:15,919 Speaker 2: make some money. So we'll ask Casey about this whole 1308 01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:18,080 Speaker 2: thing which is causing some ructions about the place, whether 1309 01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:20,680 Speaker 2: it's actually good for smokers, whether they've got the money, 1310 01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:23,000 Speaker 2: whether it's the right thing to cut the tax on. 1311 01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:27,680 Speaker 2: In about half an hour time, but next yes, the 1312 01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:30,480 Speaker 2: Air New Zealand options. Right here on News Talks it 1313 01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:34,560 Speaker 2: be I'm Andrew Dickins, some rock and roll, please thank you? 1314 01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:41,080 Speaker 1: What's up? 1315 01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:42,160 Speaker 9: What's down on? 1316 01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:45,320 Speaker 1: What will the major calls and how will it affect 1317 01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:48,720 Speaker 1: the economy of the big business questions on the Business 1318 01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:52,919 Speaker 1: Hour with Andrew Dickens and my Hr on us Talks 1319 01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:53,200 Speaker 1: it be. 1320 01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:56,600 Speaker 2: As Brad Olson's on the way. But right now with 1321 01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:59,040 Speaker 2: the time at eight minutes of six, let's talk about 1322 01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:02,680 Speaker 2: what's up with a New Zealand. They are ditching their 1323 01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:04,960 Speaker 2: carbon reduction targets. So they're going to withdraw from a 1324 01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:07,840 Speaker 2: science based target's initiative that they have only been in 1325 01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:11,360 Speaker 2: for two years now. They plan to cut carbon intensity 1326 01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:14,040 Speaker 2: twenty eight point nine percent by twenty thirty. But now 1327 01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:16,160 Speaker 2: the airline says we're not going to do that. We're 1328 01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:19,200 Speaker 2: not going to get our new fuel efficient planes until later, 1329 01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:22,320 Speaker 2: and the affordability of alternative fuels is also an issue, 1330 01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:24,920 Speaker 2: so it's off the table. So to talk about this, 1331 01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:27,320 Speaker 2: I'm joined by Sam Dean, who is a principal scientist 1332 01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:30,040 Speaker 2: for Climate from newha Sam. Welcome to the show. 1333 01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:32,800 Speaker 32: Good evening, Andrew Margot, it were you. 1334 01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:35,120 Speaker 2: Surprised at this or was it writing pretty much on 1335 01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:36,960 Speaker 2: the wall really because of many reasons? 1336 01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:41,560 Speaker 32: Yeah, I mean many reasons. I think reducing emissions in 1337 01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:43,600 Speaker 32: aviation is one of the biggest challenges. 1338 01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:44,200 Speaker 12: You know. 1339 01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:49,160 Speaker 32: They don't have many choices. They're fundamentally their business is 1340 01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:54,160 Speaker 32: about flying planes. And as they as they openly said, 1341 01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:56,040 Speaker 32: they're dependent on a whole lot of the things that 1342 01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:59,280 Speaker 32: are out of their control with new planes, whether they're 1343 01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:03,400 Speaker 32: available to and access to buy a fuels that are 1344 01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:07,120 Speaker 32: cheap enough rate that they can actually run their business economically. 1345 01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:10,080 Speaker 2: And the fact of the matter is that New Zealanders 1346 01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:12,360 Speaker 2: still want to fly. New Zealanders still want to get 1347 01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:13,920 Speaker 2: on a plan and they want to go to Tuscany, 1348 01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:15,400 Speaker 2: and they want to go all over the world. And 1349 01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:18,240 Speaker 2: they have not they have not stopped their travel bug 1350 01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:21,000 Speaker 2: in any way, shape or form and Air New Zealand 1351 01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:24,960 Speaker 2: have responded to to the demand, which is a mandate, 1352 01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:26,920 Speaker 2: which is kind of like a mandate for Air New 1353 01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:28,400 Speaker 2: Zealand to go out there and burn. 1354 01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:30,200 Speaker 12: In. 1355 01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:34,240 Speaker 32: New Zealand's business is about flying people and the more 1356 01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:37,559 Speaker 32: people that fly, the more money will make. They are 1357 01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:40,439 Speaker 32: talking about their intensity, so you know how much is 1358 01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:42,280 Speaker 32: you know, per person traveling? 1359 01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:44,160 Speaker 2: What what what that that that. 1360 01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:47,439 Speaker 32: Efficiency is and how much emissions are associated with it? 1361 01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:50,839 Speaker 32: But yes, they're if they grow more people flying New Zealanders. 1362 01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:53,640 Speaker 32: We're a small country at the you know, trade is 1363 01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:56,160 Speaker 32: important to us, travel is important to us, into connectivity 1364 01:08:56,400 --> 01:08:59,599 Speaker 32: is important to us. But that doesn't mean we don't 1365 01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:02,280 Speaker 32: need to reduce submissions, right, So it's going to If 1366 01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:04,600 Speaker 32: we don't do it in aviation, you know we're going 1367 01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:06,400 Speaker 32: to have to do it in other sector of the economy. 1368 01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:08,759 Speaker 2: We have a unique thing, quite right, Air New Zealand 1369 01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:12,760 Speaker 2: and New Zealanders have no other options. You know, if 1370 01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:16,719 Speaker 2: you're in Croatia, you can get somewhere on a train 1371 01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:20,519 Speaker 2: and it's powered by electricity. But we are on three islands, 1372 01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:22,800 Speaker 2: four if you count the Chathams, right in the middle 1373 01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:24,880 Speaker 2: of the ocean. The only way where you can really 1374 01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:27,360 Speaker 2: get out and about and do this stuff. Isn't a plane. 1375 01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:33,280 Speaker 32: I agree, it's very difficult for New Zealand, but you know, 1376 01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:36,960 Speaker 32: that's so reducing. It's good that the New Zealand is 1377 01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:40,200 Speaker 32: being upfront and saying they they don't see how they 1378 01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:43,200 Speaker 32: can meet those targets at the stage. They're being honest 1379 01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:47,800 Speaker 32: and upfront and so flying remains an unfriendly climate activity, 1380 01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:51,040 Speaker 32: but we're going to have to reduce submissions somehow, so 1381 01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:52,880 Speaker 32: it just puts pressure on us to reduce them in 1382 01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:55,920 Speaker 32: other ways. And there are things in transport, you know, 1383 01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:59,000 Speaker 32: where we have technologies like electro vehicles on the shelf 1384 01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:02,320 Speaker 32: that are you know, only marginally more expensive than petrol 1385 01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:05,200 Speaker 32: vehicles and things like that where we can make productions 1386 01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:06,479 Speaker 32: and emissions true. 1387 01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:09,560 Speaker 2: It would help if we finished off the electrification of 1388 01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:12,400 Speaker 2: the main railway, of course, which we started and then 1389 01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:13,639 Speaker 2: stopped and have never finished. 1390 01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:14,080 Speaker 32: But there we go. 1391 01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:15,600 Speaker 2: But here's the things. 1392 01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:17,680 Speaker 32: Completely air. 1393 01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:20,000 Speaker 2: New Zealand has talked a lot about wanting to become 1394 01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:24,240 Speaker 2: more sustainable. They hired a chief Sustainability officer. They've got 1395 01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:27,599 Speaker 2: former Climate Change Minister James Shaw who's clipping the ticket 1396 01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:31,240 Speaker 2: as an advisor but as you said, the entire model 1397 01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:37,000 Speaker 2: is antithetic to ever achieving that. So you know there's 1398 01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:39,040 Speaker 2: a bit of virtue signaling in the whole thing, don't 1399 01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:39,360 Speaker 2: you think. 1400 01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:42,920 Speaker 32: Well, I mean, in the long term, they may well 1401 01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:45,439 Speaker 32: have options to reduce emissions. I guess they're signaling out 1402 01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:48,200 Speaker 32: to two thousand and thirty. They don't see themselves achieving 1403 01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:51,280 Speaker 32: the target they previously set. But this is a this 1404 01:10:51,439 --> 01:10:53,960 Speaker 32: is a big question. I feel like this is the decade, right, 1405 01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:56,360 Speaker 32: This is the time where the rubber's hitting the road, 1406 01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:59,120 Speaker 32: where these great ambitions that people have put down on 1407 01:10:59,200 --> 01:11:02,879 Speaker 32: the tables reducing emissions are coming up against the reality 1408 01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:04,800 Speaker 32: of how hard that's going to be. I mean, New 1409 01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:08,000 Speaker 32: Zealand has made in a commitment under the Paris Agreement, 1410 01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:13,719 Speaker 32: and we don't expect to meet that as the reduction 1411 01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:15,960 Speaker 32: of emissions in New Zealand. So we're the only way 1412 01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:17,439 Speaker 32: to do that then is to buy offshore, and that's 1413 01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:18,479 Speaker 32: going to be hideous expensive. 1414 01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:21,080 Speaker 2: We don't want to do that as a present problem 1415 01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:23,840 Speaker 2: here as well as a precedent though. This is quite 1416 01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:27,000 Speaker 2: awkward really because other companies will look at what Air 1417 01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:29,880 Speaker 2: New Zealand has done and possibly feel emboldened by that 1418 01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:32,479 Speaker 2: pullback and says, well, look, any New Zealand's not doing it, 1419 01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:33,040 Speaker 2: why should I? 1420 01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:38,519 Speaker 32: Yeah, I mean that's it's a New Zealand wants it. 1421 01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:41,160 Speaker 32: I think any New Zealand is genuine in its desire 1422 01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:44,720 Speaker 32: and commitment to reduce its carbon intensity. It's saying it 1423 01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:49,960 Speaker 32: doesn't have pull available CASKID, but you can't do so 1424 01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:52,960 Speaker 32: economically at the moment in the short next five to 1425 01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:55,960 Speaker 32: six years. I think we have to keep telling the 1426 01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:58,479 Speaker 32: story that in other parts of the New Zealand economy 1427 01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:01,439 Speaker 32: we do have options to reduce ambissions economically and can 1428 01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:05,200 Speaker 32: do so. And yes, there is a risk, as you highlighted, 1429 01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:08,120 Speaker 32: that people see this as you know that they can't 1430 01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:10,639 Speaker 32: do it, why should I work in anyone? It's all hopeless. 1431 01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:12,120 Speaker 32: I don't think we can look at it that way. 1432 01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:15,760 Speaker 32: I think there are real opportunities. It's just going to 1433 01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:19,440 Speaker 32: it just was always the case that aviation was extremely 1434 01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:21,479 Speaker 32: difficult and it's probably the last problem we're going to 1435 01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:24,599 Speaker 32: be able to solve because electric planes are not really 1436 01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:25,400 Speaker 32: yet feasible. 1437 01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:28,200 Speaker 2: Sam. Thank you so much. Thank you for your work. 1438 01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:33,639 Speaker 2: Sam as the principal scientist for Climator for Climate at MIGWA. 1439 01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:36,960 Speaker 2: The second word isn't part of his title in any way, 1440 01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:39,160 Speaker 2: shape or form. It is six thirteen. This is news 1441 01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:40,960 Speaker 2: Talks here. Big brad Olsen's on the way. Also some 1442 01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:43,120 Speaker 2: good news for Smith and Coe which I'd like to 1443 01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:46,759 Speaker 2: talk about and suggest some ideas to any venture capitalists 1444 01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:48,920 Speaker 2: out there crunching. 1445 01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:51,479 Speaker 1: The numbers and getting the results. It's Heather Dup for 1446 01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:54,800 Speaker 1: c Ellen with the Business Hour thanks to my HR, 1447 01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:59,120 Speaker 1: the HR platform for SME on news talksb if it's 1448 01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:02,519 Speaker 1: to do with money, it matters to you. The Business 1449 01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:06,959 Speaker 1: Hour with Andrew Dickens and my HR the HR platform 1450 01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:07,719 Speaker 1: for SME. 1451 01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:10,360 Speaker 2: Us talks, they'd be texts through ninety two ninety two. 1452 01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:13,000 Speaker 2: Good point, Andrew. Why was the main trunk line not 1453 01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:15,680 Speaker 2: completely electrified? Be because the government didn't believe in it. 1454 01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:19,880 Speaker 2: So the idea of electric electrifying the main trunk line 1455 01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:23,439 Speaker 2: was first started in November nineteen eighteen, and that was 1456 01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:26,080 Speaker 2: because we had a coal shortage, so they said let's 1457 01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:28,920 Speaker 2: electrify it. Then we started electrifying it after report in 1458 01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:32,479 Speaker 2: nineteen seventy four. Now there are three sections of the 1459 01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:36,240 Speaker 2: main trunk line which are electrified or conserveive network essential 1460 01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:40,160 Speaker 2: a central section from past the north to Rapper and 1461 01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:43,479 Speaker 2: the Wellington urban network in the rest aint because a 1462 01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:46,599 Speaker 2: government didn't believe in it and then nobody ever talks 1463 01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:46,880 Speaker 2: about it. 1464 01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:47,439 Speaker 9: But there we go. 1465 01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:48,479 Speaker 17: Right. 1466 01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:52,080 Speaker 2: It is now seventeen minutes after six and the government's 1467 01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:56,240 Speaker 2: tax cuts are coming into force tomorrow. Inflation has been 1468 01:13:56,280 --> 01:14:00,080 Speaker 2: tracking firmly in the right direction recently, so the FEDS 1469 01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:02,320 Speaker 2: Minister will be crossing her fingers and to's that these 1470 01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:05,960 Speaker 2: tax cuts have absolutely no impact on inflation. Who knows 1471 01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:08,719 Speaker 2: about that, Brad Olsen who joins me now, HALLI Brad 1472 01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:15,880 Speaker 2: good evening any risk that these tax cuts are inflationary, I. 1473 01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:18,280 Speaker 33: Mean, certainly, given the way they've been funded, I don't 1474 01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:21,040 Speaker 33: think there's as much risk as as some people have 1475 01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:23,560 Speaker 33: made it out to be previously. The government has of 1476 01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:26,840 Speaker 33: course been or decided to spend less money itself and 1477 01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:29,559 Speaker 33: instead let people effectively keep more of their own money, 1478 01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:32,360 Speaker 33: and therefore, in a sense it's a switch in terms 1479 01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:34,479 Speaker 33: of who's spending it, rather than sort of a huge 1480 01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:37,800 Speaker 33: additional amount of stimulus into the economy. You're right though 1481 01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:41,000 Speaker 33: as well, with inflation at three point three percent in 1482 01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:43,880 Speaker 33: the latest quarter, things are trending in the right direction. 1483 01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:47,600 Speaker 33: There might well be a slight boost in retail activity 1484 01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:50,280 Speaker 33: because of the tax cuts, but I think that's probably 1485 01:14:50,360 --> 01:14:53,320 Speaker 33: going to be far overshadowed by the high interest rates 1486 01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:56,080 Speaker 33: that people are still dealing with. Shops are still not 1487 01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:59,240 Speaker 33: going to be ringing off their hinges come tomorrow, and 1488 01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:01,479 Speaker 33: so it's it'll make a bit of a difference, but 1489 01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:04,360 Speaker 33: it's certainly not going to completely up end the economic track. 1490 01:15:04,720 --> 01:15:07,640 Speaker 2: Listening to talk about this afternoon with Simon Barnett and 1491 01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:09,759 Speaker 2: James Daniels, so I heard a lot of people complaining 1492 01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:11,680 Speaker 2: about it and that the government is giving with one 1493 01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:13,639 Speaker 2: hand and taking with the other. And they were talking 1494 01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:18,240 Speaker 2: about how cuts to government services, like what subsidies towards 1495 01:15:18,280 --> 01:15:22,479 Speaker 2: public transport all ends out with bills going into their pockets. 1496 01:15:22,680 --> 01:15:24,280 Speaker 2: And the big one for them was rates. They were 1497 01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:27,400 Speaker 2: complaining about rates all afternoon long, saying those rates are 1498 01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:30,120 Speaker 2: going to sky high. They're the ones driving that's driving 1499 01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:33,719 Speaker 2: inflation in a real term for New Zealanders in their wallets, 1500 01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:34,439 Speaker 2: isn't it. 1501 01:15:35,560 --> 01:15:36,799 Speaker 1: Well not in particular. 1502 01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:38,880 Speaker 33: I mean, rates are only three percent of the total 1503 01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:40,880 Speaker 33: inflation basket, so there's a lot of other things. I 1504 01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:42,720 Speaker 33: mean the likes of insurance, I'd point a lot more 1505 01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:44,840 Speaker 33: of a finger at than the likes of rates. But 1506 01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,320 Speaker 33: also I think that also speaks to the decisions that 1507 01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:50,080 Speaker 33: central government will have to make with the money that 1508 01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:52,360 Speaker 33: it's got, you know, because we know, for example, that 1509 01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:55,920 Speaker 33: local government's only collecting about ten percent of total sort 1510 01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:59,639 Speaker 33: of taxation, both rates and central government taxes and similar 1511 01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:02,479 Speaker 33: they're responsible for twenty five percent of the infrastructure. So 1512 01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:05,600 Speaker 33: if we want decent infrastructure, someone's got to pay for it, 1513 01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:08,519 Speaker 33: and at the moment that's got to come partly from 1514 01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:10,960 Speaker 33: rates funding the debt on these sorts of things. But 1515 01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:13,080 Speaker 33: I think probably a lot of households, and the point 1516 01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:14,960 Speaker 33: they're right is that a lot of households will have 1517 01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:18,040 Speaker 33: effectively spent the tax cut before it even hits their 1518 01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:20,760 Speaker 33: back pocket because of those higher costs across the board. So, 1519 01:16:21,160 --> 01:16:23,040 Speaker 33: like I say, I mean, we've heard from retailers that 1520 01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:24,400 Speaker 33: aren't expecting a big boost. 1521 01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:25,840 Speaker 5: I think that's very much right. 1522 01:16:26,280 --> 01:16:29,080 Speaker 33: We're not expecting sort of things to massively change. But 1523 01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:31,240 Speaker 33: for some households, you look at those sort of figures, 1524 01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:34,719 Speaker 33: the like some minimum wage worker, for example, getting twelve 1525 01:16:34,720 --> 01:16:38,720 Speaker 33: dollars fifty a week, more. That's also important given that 1526 01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:41,760 Speaker 33: we haven't changed these tax rates for fourteen years, and 1527 01:16:41,840 --> 01:16:43,920 Speaker 33: that means that back when they were last set, someone 1528 01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:46,160 Speaker 33: on the minimum wage was earning about twenty seven K, 1529 01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:49,160 Speaker 33: far far away from the next tax bracket. On the 1530 01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:52,519 Speaker 33: current figures before tomorrow's change, the person on the minimum 1531 01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:54,760 Speaker 33: wage working a full time job but actually hit the 1532 01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:56,840 Speaker 33: top tax the thirty percent tax bracket. 1533 01:16:57,120 --> 01:16:58,240 Speaker 5: That seems pretty insane. 1534 01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:00,560 Speaker 2: I don't even like cuting them to cuts with it, 1535 01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:02,680 Speaker 2: because these are changes to the threshold levels and they 1536 01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:04,760 Speaker 2: should have been CPI linked right from the start. In 1537 01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:08,080 Speaker 2: every government since what is it, for fourteen years, knew 1538 01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:11,360 Speaker 2: exactly what happened that every time that they text us, 1539 01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:15,840 Speaker 2: they got inflation up again, just quickly, wholesale rates, you know, 1540 01:17:17,320 --> 01:17:20,000 Speaker 2: plunging downwards. The retail banks are really starting to say, 1541 01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:22,439 Speaker 2: come on now, people are starting to talk about an 1542 01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:25,360 Speaker 2: OCR cut in August and not November and hoping that 1543 01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:27,559 Speaker 2: the Reserve Bank here is do you think they are 1544 01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:29,719 Speaker 2: hearing or do you think they're going to stick to November. 1545 01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:31,960 Speaker 11: I think they're looking at the data. 1546 01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:34,960 Speaker 33: I mean, remember they know they themselves haven't even uttered 1547 01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:38,000 Speaker 33: an idea about November. Their official last word on the 1548 01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:41,360 Speaker 33: matter as recently as May was they don't think it's 1549 01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:43,920 Speaker 33: happening till August next year. So if they do bring 1550 01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:46,000 Speaker 33: it forward, and I think they well could, they're also 1551 01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:48,560 Speaker 33: going to have explain. Need to explain to all of 1552 01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:50,519 Speaker 33: us why they got it so wrong back in May 1553 01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:52,960 Speaker 33: and how they think they need to adjust their expectations 1554 01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:54,839 Speaker 33: so quickly ten months in advance. 1555 01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:56,960 Speaker 2: Good stuff brand, always good to talk, Thank you so much. 1556 01:17:57,040 --> 01:17:59,720 Speaker 2: At A six twenty one, Jamie McKay is on the 1557 01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:04,200 Speaker 2: way and we're talking about a champion of the rural 1558 01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:07,519 Speaker 2: sector who has passed away. The rural sector is very 1559 01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:09,280 Speaker 2: own felicity fare. That's all still to come. 1560 01:18:09,880 --> 01:18:13,120 Speaker 1: The Rural Report on the Heather dupers Elan Drive with 1561 01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:16,519 Speaker 1: n's Kofoods New Zealand's Finest Beef and Lamb. 1562 01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:20,960 Speaker 2: Jamie McKay from the Country dot Co dot M said, Hey. 1563 01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:23,760 Speaker 17: Jamie, how are you good day, Andrew, how are you going? 1564 01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:26,479 Speaker 2: I'm good sad news the death of a great agri 1565 01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:30,720 Speaker 2: business journalist, David Anderson, young to just fifty seven. Tell 1566 01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:31,800 Speaker 2: us about his work. 1567 01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:36,120 Speaker 17: Yeah, while he was obviously a long time member of 1568 01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:39,040 Speaker 17: the rural media, had a real spark in his eye. 1569 01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:41,880 Speaker 17: I would call him the Felicity fair At Andrew of 1570 01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:45,760 Speaker 17: rural media because he used to run a column and 1571 01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:49,920 Speaker 17: it's still going since his passing, called the Hound and 1572 01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:53,920 Speaker 17: Rural News, where he would have a swipe at anyone 1573 01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:59,000 Speaker 17: deemed woke PC and or labor politicians, especially poor old 1574 01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:02,920 Speaker 17: Damien o'connoran. David Parker seemed to be in the sites 1575 01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:05,639 Speaker 17: of the Hound. But look he's He's a good bloke. 1576 01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:08,040 Speaker 17: Grew up on a sheep and bee farm, went to Lincoln, 1577 01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:12,080 Speaker 17: studied farm management, took finish that he went sharing working 1578 01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:16,439 Speaker 17: at the freezing works.

Now to other topics, and of course 1589 01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:52,200 Speaker 2: the big hope for New Zealand farmers in terms of 1590 01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:56,680 Speaker 2: emission reduction is reducing the methane in the fats and 1591 01:19:56,720 --> 01:20:00,680 Speaker 2: the boops. And now a new compound us farmers are 1592 01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:01,280 Speaker 2: a step closer. 1593 01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:02,800 Speaker 9: Yeah. 1594 01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:04,840 Speaker 17: Well I just picked up on this one today. I 1595 01:20:04,920 --> 01:20:06,920 Speaker 17: think I saw it in Farmers Weekly. I better give 1596 01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:10,559 Speaker 17: them a bit of credits for that one. So because 1597 01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:13,720 Speaker 17: the government Andrew has talked about having tools because they're 1598 01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:15,920 Speaker 17: not going to charge for emissions till twenty thirty now, 1599 01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:20,040 Speaker 17: and they're talking about having tools available for farmers as 1600 01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:23,920 Speaker 17: soon as twenty twenty seven. Well, a company called a 1601 01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:27,640 Speaker 17: Room in eight, good name actually with the numeric eight 1602 01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:32,600 Speaker 17: on the end, registered its speed additives with the Agricultural 1603 01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:36,799 Speaker 17: Compounds and Veterinary Medicines Board in Australia and New Zealand. 1604 01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:39,080 Speaker 17: I've got an organic compound. They claim it to be 1605 01:20:39,160 --> 01:20:42,759 Speaker 17: the most effective of all actives tested from methane reduction 1606 01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:48,519 Speaker 17: and livestock. They're conducting as we speak trials. They're doing 1607 01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:52,559 Speaker 17: one trial in the Whykado measuring the methane out put 1608 01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:56,559 Speaker 17: from lactating dairy. Carl cows being offered the supplement three 1609 01:20:56,600 --> 01:20:59,160 Speaker 17: times a day over forty five days. Now it's easy 1610 01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:02,160 Speaker 17: to op to offer dairy cows who are coming in 1611 01:21:02,240 --> 01:21:05,120 Speaker 17: and out of milking sheds supplements. They're much easier to 1612 01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:09,280 Speaker 17: treat than say, beef cattle out on an extensive grazing regime. 1613 01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:12,320 Speaker 17: So they've also got a beef trial being conducted at 1614 01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:16,040 Speaker 17: AG Research in Palmerston North. The company, interestingly, Andrew is 1615 01:21:16,160 --> 01:21:18,040 Speaker 17: backed by Bell Gates, so they're not going to be 1616 01:21:18,120 --> 01:21:21,360 Speaker 17: shorter money.

All 1627 01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:48,519 Speaker 2: well and good, but I want to ask about what's 1628 01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:51,040 Speaker 2: going to happen to the tower. I've got a beautiful 1629 01:21:51,040 --> 01:21:53,479 Speaker 2: building built in nineteen twenty nine and they've got an 1630 01:21:54,600 --> 01:21:57,320 Speaker 2: eight story tower block behind which is currently showing the 1631 01:21:57,360 --> 01:22:00,200 Speaker 2: World Press Photo Exhibition. It will make a lovely the 1632 01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:04,479 Speaker 2: building or who are making even better character hotel right 1633 01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:06,960 Speaker 2: beside the Civic in Central Auckland, right beside the new 1634 01:22:07,040 --> 01:22:09,600 Speaker 2: train station, and then Smith and Coey's will be in 1635 01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:11,800 Speaker 2: the lobby. They'll have a regular stream of customers that 1636 01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:14,800 Speaker 2: will revive Midtown orcan which is currently stagnating. Now this 1637 01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:17,840 Speaker 2: is just my idea, but if you have some money, 1638 01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:21,160 Speaker 2: feel free to pick it up and run with it 1639 01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:24,080 Speaker 2: and save one of the most beautiful retail buildings in 1640 01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:24,920 Speaker 2: all of New Zealand. 1641 01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:29,360 Speaker 7: You always side that when you drink and. 1642 01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:34,240 Speaker 2: Wish it did maybe ten percent. News and Supports Next, 1643 01:22:34,280 --> 01:22:34,960 Speaker 2: it's a short. 1644 01:22:35,080 --> 01:22:41,040 Speaker 1: Beat crunching the numbers and getting the results. It's Andrew 1645 01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:44,800 Speaker 1: Dickins with the Business Hour thanks to my HR, the 1646 01:22:45,040 --> 01:22:47,680 Speaker 1: HL platform for SME on US talks. 1647 01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:58,639 Speaker 34: By Welcome to the program, Ahidioth of July. 1648 01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:02,519 Speaker 2: I'mandra Victims heads back on Monday. She's on leave. Right 1649 01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:04,560 Speaker 2: about now, we should be watching Hayden Wild winning the 1650 01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:06,840 Speaker 2: triath and we're not because it's been postponed because the 1651 01:23:06,920 --> 01:23:13,080 Speaker 2: Senate is filthy. On the Olympics, Vincent Macavenny, our UK correspondent, 1652 01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:14,479 Speaker 2: is going to join us to talk about the UK, 1653 01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:17,280 Speaker 2: but he's going to be doing this from Paris because 1654 01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:19,439 Speaker 2: he's there covering the Olympics for other media as well. 1655 01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:21,439 Speaker 2: So we'll talk to him about Paris and of course 1656 01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:25,479 Speaker 2: the tragedy of the Southport stabbing that happened during a 1657 01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:27,120 Speaker 2: Taylor Swift dance class. 1658 01:23:28,320 --> 01:23:28,519 Speaker 17: Um. 1659 01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:33,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, very sad news. Also on the Olympics some of 1660 01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:35,320 Speaker 2: the things. One thing I'm really regretting is I was 1661 01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:37,800 Speaker 2: watching the Telly today and out came the eighth and 1662 01:23:37,920 --> 01:23:40,479 Speaker 2: there was USA leading the race, and I said there going, oh, 1663 01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:42,280 Speaker 2: do we have an eight? And so I went to 1664 01:23:42,360 --> 01:23:44,920 Speaker 2: Clay Wilson, out sports director, and said New Zealand doesn't 1665 01:23:44,920 --> 01:23:47,280 Speaker 2: have an eights in the Olympics and he said, no, no, 1666 01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:49,360 Speaker 2: we do not, which is tragic. We have won the 1667 01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:51,559 Speaker 2: eight so many times. Who won last time we won, 1668 01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:54,599 Speaker 2: of course famously back in seventy six, But no more 1669 01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:56,880 Speaker 2: eights in New Zealand and eight's have found. I think 1670 01:23:56,920 --> 01:23:59,519 Speaker 2: we should always have an eights maybe next time it 1671 01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:03,759 Speaker 2: is our twenty three to seven zibby. So the government 1672 01:24:04,160 --> 01:24:07,799 Speaker 2: has agreed to set aside two hundred and sixteen million 1673 01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:10,519 Speaker 2: dollars because it may need that money to pay for 1674 01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:16,120 Speaker 2: the tax cuts for heated tobacco products otherwise known as htps. 1675 01:24:16,720 --> 01:24:20,479 Speaker 2: Now htps is a new thing where the tobacco is 1676 01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:23,559 Speaker 2: heated to a vapor rather than burnt, so no oil, 1677 01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:26,680 Speaker 2: there is tobacco. It's heated to a vapor rather than 1678 01:24:26,760 --> 01:24:29,759 Speaker 2: burnt and then ingested. So earlier this month, the government 1679 01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:32,080 Speaker 2: announced a fifty percent cut to the excise tax on 1680 01:24:32,160 --> 01:24:35,480 Speaker 2: the heated tobacco products, which are seen as an alternative 1681 01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:39,320 Speaker 2: to vaping and regular cigarettes. They're good for cessation of 1682 01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:42,439 Speaker 2: tobacco use, they say. Cabinet agreed that they're likely to 1683 01:24:42,520 --> 01:24:44,840 Speaker 2: go be there's likely to be a huge uptake of 1684 01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:47,080 Speaker 2: these products, so much so that they had to put 1685 01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:50,240 Speaker 2: aside two hundred and sixteen million dollars in four gone 1686 01:24:50,360 --> 01:24:53,560 Speaker 2: tax income over the next four years. So Casey Costello 1687 01:24:53,920 --> 01:24:56,800 Speaker 2: is the Associate Health Minister and Customs Minister and joins 1688 01:24:56,840 --> 01:24:57,920 Speaker 2: in Now hell, Casey. 1689 01:24:58,840 --> 01:24:59,920 Speaker 17: Hi, how are you good? 1690 01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:02,439 Speaker 2: See that two hundred and sixteen million dollar figure is 1691 01:25:02,479 --> 01:25:06,000 Speaker 2: pretty big, and you know, it presumes a big uptake. 1692 01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:07,400 Speaker 2: Do you believe that's going to happen? 1693 01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:11,719 Speaker 12: No, And it was based upon the Treasury did some modeling. 1694 01:25:12,360 --> 01:25:17,280 Speaker 12: They used Japan's figures as a benchmark to apply it 1695 01:25:17,439 --> 01:25:21,240 Speaker 12: to Pen doesn't have vaping, So that's why the modeling 1696 01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:24,080 Speaker 12: wasn't particularly helpful. So I think to put some perspectives, 1697 01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:28,960 Speaker 12: we're talking about in total smokeless tobacco products in twenty 1698 01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:32,880 Speaker 12: twenty three was about six million dollars worth of egg size. 1699 01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:36,360 Speaker 12: That's that HTP is only a small component of that, 1700 01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:41,479 Speaker 12: So we're talking about a small number we're hoping of 1701 01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:43,519 Speaker 12: the two hundred and eighty five thousand people that are 1702 01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:44,120 Speaker 12: still smoking. 1703 01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:47,559 Speaker 2: Are you just presuming though, that people on vapes aren't 1704 01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:49,840 Speaker 2: going to go for htps because they're so happy with vapes. 1705 01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:52,519 Speaker 2: But even so, this is actually a tobacco product, and 1706 01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:55,400 Speaker 2: they might be saying to themselves, I'm missing the tobacco product, 1707 01:25:55,720 --> 01:25:57,320 Speaker 2: you know, and this apparently is still good for me. 1708 01:25:57,640 --> 01:25:59,439 Speaker 2: Do you think they're going to stay loyal to the 1709 01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:00,400 Speaker 2: vakes go to. 1710 01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:04,240 Speaker 12: The h I think it baits will remain shaper, which 1711 01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:07,160 Speaker 12: is the other component. But there's no excize on boats 1712 01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:10,519 Speaker 12: at all, so that it still remains a price differentials. Okay, 1713 01:26:10,920 --> 01:26:12,920 Speaker 12: And I think I think that's what's really helpful is 1714 01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:15,760 Speaker 12: to get some perspective around us. This is to try 1715 01:26:15,960 --> 01:26:18,879 Speaker 12: and deal with those who are hard core addicted smokers 1716 01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:20,360 Speaker 12: who don't want to take up bathing. 1717 01:26:20,680 --> 01:26:22,639 Speaker 2: Here's a question for you. Then here's a question. Then 1718 01:26:23,160 --> 01:26:27,040 Speaker 2: if you do not believe it's true, why did cabinet 1719 01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:31,240 Speaker 2: and all your good colleagues agree to putting aside two 1720 01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:32,639 Speaker 2: hundred and sixteen million dollars. 1721 01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:36,680 Speaker 12: So this is over a four year period, and it's 1722 01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:40,560 Speaker 12: a projection of you know, what might be forgone. So 1723 01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:43,080 Speaker 12: it's not money we have and we're not you know, 1724 01:26:43,360 --> 01:26:46,120 Speaker 12: we're not spending or anything. This is just a projection 1725 01:26:46,200 --> 01:26:50,479 Speaker 12: of what it's going to cost. Hopefully it will well, 1726 01:26:50,680 --> 01:26:52,320 Speaker 12: it won't be anywhere near thats aga. 1727 01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:54,479 Speaker 2: I don't know if you heard Mike hustling this morning 1728 01:26:54,520 --> 01:26:56,960 Speaker 2: and he looked at that cabinet paper, and that cabinet 1729 01:26:57,000 --> 01:26:59,920 Speaker 2: paper reckons that seven two hundred people will quit smoking 1730 01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:02,640 Speaker 2: in start on these alternative products instead, and then he 1731 01:27:02,720 --> 01:27:04,880 Speaker 2: freaked out because that means it's going to cost eight 1732 01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:07,000 Speaker 2: thousand dollars each to the taxpayer to pay for each 1733 01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:08,960 Speaker 2: one of those two hundred people. 1734 01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:13,760 Speaker 12: Yeah, and it's yeah, it's I think it's it's kind 1735 01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:16,679 Speaker 12: of false economy because you're talking about it. It's money. 1736 01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:20,400 Speaker 12: This is about providing an alternative. We're doing a twelve 1737 01:27:20,520 --> 01:27:24,160 Speaker 12: month trial to see if it impacts. If there is 1738 01:27:24,280 --> 01:27:26,760 Speaker 12: take up a meeting next month with all the quick 1739 01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:30,519 Speaker 12: smoking providers to talk to them about how we're going 1740 01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:33,479 Speaker 12: to measure this and how how they sing the uptake 1741 01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:36,960 Speaker 12: will be. It is less harmful. It is an opportunity 1742 01:27:37,040 --> 01:27:39,839 Speaker 12: to get those that are hardcore smokers to stop smoking, 1743 01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:41,640 Speaker 12: and that's what we're focused on. 1744 01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:44,519 Speaker 2: Right The fifty percent cut to the XCISE tax will 1745 01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:47,920 Speaker 2: make htps, which are mainly marketed by tobacco companies, a 1746 01:27:48,080 --> 01:27:52,200 Speaker 2: lot cheaper. Now you have to wonder, are you making 1747 01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:55,599 Speaker 2: this change as a favor to tobacco companies to give 1748 01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:58,760 Speaker 2: them a replacement product as we get rid of cigarettes, 1749 01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:01,439 Speaker 2: or are you actually truly trying to do this to 1750 01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:03,120 Speaker 2: get smokers to quit. 1751 01:28:04,520 --> 01:28:08,800 Speaker 12: And it's just such a distracting narrative. I have absolutely 1752 01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:12,720 Speaker 12: no relationship with tobacco, never met with them. I have 1753 01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:16,000 Speaker 12: no concern about what tobacco industry is doing. I have 1754 01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:22,320 Speaker 12: absolutely targeted to help people quit smoking, and that's the 1755 01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:25,720 Speaker 12: goal and objective. I want people to not smoke at all, 1756 01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:28,800 Speaker 12: and everything I'm doing is to try and focus on 1757 01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:32,799 Speaker 12: that target. And this noise and distraction that's been thrown around. 1758 01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:38,519 Speaker 12: I have absolutely beyond I have been scrutinized beyond anybody 1759 01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:41,640 Speaker 12: that I know of around any possible connection. There has 1760 01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:45,519 Speaker 12: been no connection between me and the tobacco industry. I 1761 01:28:45,640 --> 01:28:49,200 Speaker 12: have met all my obligations around conflicts of interest. I 1762 01:28:49,360 --> 01:28:52,320 Speaker 12: am focused on getting people to quit smoking and that's 1763 01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:52,920 Speaker 12: my target. 1764 01:28:53,439 --> 01:28:55,800 Speaker 2: Now, a lot of talk about the vapes, people start going, 1765 01:28:55,920 --> 01:29:00,160 Speaker 2: are they really as a good tobacco cessation product? As 1766 01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:03,640 Speaker 2: they say that there's awful a lot of respiratory stuff, popcorn, 1767 01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:06,120 Speaker 2: lung all that sort of thing. Do you believe these 1768 01:29:06,360 --> 01:29:09,519 Speaker 2: htps are in fact going to be an awful lot 1769 01:29:09,680 --> 01:29:11,480 Speaker 2: less harmful to smokers? 1770 01:29:13,120 --> 01:29:16,880 Speaker 12: They are definitely a lot less harmful. That's what we know. 1771 01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:21,599 Speaker 12: Because the carcinogenic of smoking is the burning of the tobacco. 1772 01:29:22,120 --> 01:29:25,720 Speaker 12: It's that combustion that is the big issue. Now, that 1773 01:29:25,840 --> 01:29:29,840 Speaker 12: doesn't mean there isn't other risks of cancers around oral 1774 01:29:29,880 --> 01:29:32,200 Speaker 12: tobacco products. And that's the whole thing we're going to 1775 01:29:32,240 --> 01:29:35,519 Speaker 12: look at as a separate discussion. We know with vaping, 1776 01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:39,439 Speaker 12: two hundred and thirty thousand people quit smoking over the 1777 01:29:39,560 --> 01:29:43,080 Speaker 12: last three years, so we know vaping has been a 1778 01:29:43,280 --> 01:29:46,800 Speaker 12: really good tool to get people to stop smoking. But 1779 01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:49,120 Speaker 12: it's not safe and we know that we know that 1780 01:29:49,200 --> 01:29:51,720 Speaker 12: there are health issues around it, but it's a lot 1781 01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:54,920 Speaker 12: safer than smoking, and that's why we're looking at other 1782 01:29:55,040 --> 01:29:59,280 Speaker 12: products that might help those who who haven't been successful 1783 01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:02,479 Speaker 12: for this listing products and that's that's fully focused on. 1784 01:30:02,760 --> 01:30:05,080 Speaker 2: Ohiksekasell I thank you very much for your time today, 1785 01:30:05,160 --> 01:30:08,280 Speaker 2: Casey of course as the Associate Health Minister and the 1786 01:30:08,360 --> 01:30:10,360 Speaker 2: Customers Minister. And that is the trick. If you give 1787 01:30:10,439 --> 01:30:12,920 Speaker 2: up smoking and start vaping, the idea is then to 1788 01:30:13,040 --> 01:30:15,439 Speaker 2: move on and give up the vaping too, if you 1789 01:30:15,520 --> 01:30:17,920 Speaker 2: really want to live a long and healthy life. It 1790 01:30:18,040 --> 01:30:19,519 Speaker 2: is seventeen to seven. 1791 01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:20,200 Speaker 4: Thanks. 1792 01:30:20,240 --> 01:30:24,080 Speaker 1: Whether it's macro, micro or just plain economics, it's all 1793 01:30:24,160 --> 01:30:27,760 Speaker 1: on the Business Hour with Andrew Dickens and my HR. 1794 01:30:28,120 --> 01:30:31,720 Speaker 1: The HR platform for sme us toxip it. 1795 01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:34,960 Speaker 2: Is fourteen to seven and Vincent mcavinny is our UK 1796 01:30:35,160 --> 01:30:36,559 Speaker 2: correspondent and he joins us. 1797 01:30:36,600 --> 01:30:38,879 Speaker 11: Now, Hello, Vincent, good afternoon. 1798 01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:41,599 Speaker 2: The whole world is a gag. The two children did 1799 01:30:41,680 --> 01:30:43,080 Speaker 2: and the knife attech and Southport. 1800 01:30:43,160 --> 01:30:43,720 Speaker 5: What do you know? 1801 01:30:44,920 --> 01:30:47,320 Speaker 11: Yeah, this is a horrific story. It is the summer 1802 01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:50,599 Speaker 11: holidays here in the UK now, and these children were 1803 01:30:50,600 --> 01:30:55,559 Speaker 11: attending a Taylor Swift themed dancervent in Southport, Merseyside, which 1804 01:30:55,600 --> 01:30:58,960 Speaker 11: is in the northwest of England. We understand that a 1805 01:30:59,080 --> 01:31:03,639 Speaker 11: seventeen year old from Lancashire, who was wearing a COVID mask, 1806 01:31:04,240 --> 01:31:06,560 Speaker 11: was able to access the facility because they have to 1807 01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:08,880 Speaker 11: have the doors unlocked for fire safety reasons, and he 1808 01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:12,400 Speaker 11: then went on a horrific rampage. He's believed he killed 1809 01:31:12,640 --> 01:31:16,439 Speaker 11: two children. Nine were injured. Six are said to be 1810 01:31:16,560 --> 01:31:20,559 Speaker 11: in a critical condition, and two adults who are thought 1811 01:31:20,600 --> 01:31:24,599 Speaker 11: to be those involved with running the class who were 1812 01:31:24,800 --> 01:31:27,519 Speaker 11: trying to protect the children and to stop the knifemen, 1813 01:31:28,120 --> 01:31:29,920 Speaker 11: have also been injured. They are said to be in 1814 01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:33,439 Speaker 11: a critical condition, all of them in hospital at the moment. 1815 01:31:33,800 --> 01:31:37,120 Speaker 11: The seventeen year old is under arrest. He has not 1816 01:31:37,400 --> 01:31:41,200 Speaker 11: been yet charged. Police say they do not know yet 1817 01:31:41,280 --> 01:31:43,639 Speaker 11: the motive for the attack, but it has not been 1818 01:31:43,680 --> 01:31:47,560 Speaker 11: treated as terror. Related and obviously the local community is 1819 01:31:47,640 --> 01:31:51,360 Speaker 11: incredibly shocked. The Prime Minister as well as the King 1820 01:31:51,680 --> 01:31:55,600 Speaker 11: and Queen have led tributes offering their heartfelt condolences to 1821 01:31:55,640 --> 01:31:58,080 Speaker 11: what has a really horrible start to the summer holidays 1822 01:31:58,360 --> 01:31:59,360 Speaker 11: here in the UK. 1823 01:32:00,240 --> 01:32:03,120 Speaker 2: Should have been a joyous day for young kids and 1824 01:32:03,200 --> 01:32:05,639 Speaker 2: it ended up being a very, very terrible day. We'll 1825 01:32:05,640 --> 01:32:08,360 Speaker 2: follow their story very closely, and digerally want to know 1826 01:32:08,520 --> 01:32:10,880 Speaker 2: his motive. Now we have a far lift just to 1827 01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:13,160 Speaker 2: risk over the French railway vandalism. 1828 01:32:14,520 --> 01:32:17,280 Speaker 11: Yes, that's right. Well, France has managed to recover from 1829 01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:19,680 Speaker 11: that damage quite quickly. They got their trains back up 1830 01:32:19,720 --> 01:32:21,800 Speaker 11: and running by Monday. But of course it wasn't the 1831 01:32:21,880 --> 01:32:25,760 Speaker 11: start that they wanted to their Olympics, having about eight 1832 01:32:25,880 --> 01:32:30,040 Speaker 11: hundred thousand people have their journeys disrupted. Now, what's been 1833 01:32:30,080 --> 01:32:32,200 Speaker 11: strange is that the French government haven't come forward and 1834 01:32:32,240 --> 01:32:34,599 Speaker 11: actually said who has done it, and no one has 1835 01:32:34,680 --> 01:32:37,720 Speaker 11: claimed responsibility, So there was thoughts of is it a 1836 01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:40,600 Speaker 11: political group, is it sort of an eco group, or 1837 01:32:40,720 --> 01:32:43,200 Speaker 11: is it a foreign government, perhaps Russia deciding to be 1838 01:32:43,280 --> 01:32:45,840 Speaker 11: a bit nefarious at the start of these games. But 1839 01:32:45,960 --> 01:32:48,200 Speaker 11: it was curious that no one had come forward now. 1840 01:32:48,640 --> 01:32:54,000 Speaker 11: Yesterday we learned that on Monday, a sorry on Sunday, 1841 01:32:54,200 --> 01:32:58,760 Speaker 11: a Ultra Left militant was arrested in northwest France. He 1842 01:32:58,920 --> 01:33:02,880 Speaker 11: had been behaving suspicion near a railway line and when 1843 01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:06,280 Speaker 11: he was detained, officers who searched the man's car found 1844 01:33:06,439 --> 01:33:11,080 Speaker 11: technical guides, pliers, a set of universal keys, and literature 1845 01:33:11,439 --> 01:33:14,360 Speaker 11: linked to the Ultra Left. He was twenty eight years 1846 01:33:14,360 --> 01:33:17,839 Speaker 11: old from the city of Rua and he's now being questioned. 1847 01:33:17,880 --> 01:33:20,680 Speaker 11: So it is unclear yet whether or not he was 1848 01:33:20,920 --> 01:33:24,280 Speaker 11: involved with the group that did this on Friday, or 1849 01:33:24,320 --> 01:33:26,080 Speaker 11: of this as someone else who's decided to try and 1850 01:33:26,160 --> 01:33:28,479 Speaker 11: take advantage of it, seeing that someone else has done 1851 01:33:28,520 --> 01:33:31,000 Speaker 11: this and has also tried to get in on the act. 1852 01:33:31,080 --> 01:33:34,880 Speaker 11: But now the Tejuve, the famous franch train system, does 1853 01:33:34,960 --> 01:33:37,120 Speaker 11: seem to be back up and running at full strength, 1854 01:33:37,200 --> 01:33:39,719 Speaker 11: because that is the primary way of getting around France 1855 01:33:40,040 --> 01:33:42,600 Speaker 11: to all the events has come not in Paris for 1856 01:33:42,640 --> 01:33:44,680 Speaker 11: the Olympics, for the spectators here. 1857 01:33:45,320 --> 01:33:48,439 Speaker 2: You should and you should rule am perfectly. I think 1858 01:33:48,439 --> 01:33:50,800 Speaker 2: you've got some French and you mate, I. 1859 01:33:51,240 --> 01:33:53,640 Speaker 11: Might have grown up in Luxembourg for a couple of years, so. 1860 01:33:53,800 --> 01:33:54,200 Speaker 31: There you go. 1861 01:33:54,560 --> 01:33:56,640 Speaker 2: And the other thing is you're in Paris right now, 1862 01:33:56,760 --> 01:33:57,879 Speaker 2: so how's your Olympics. 1863 01:33:58,760 --> 01:34:01,320 Speaker 11: I am in Paris. I've been a fantastic few days. 1864 01:34:01,360 --> 01:34:04,000 Speaker 11: I'm sad to go home. Today. We started with that 1865 01:34:04,200 --> 01:34:08,000 Speaker 11: opening ceremony. It was unique. It's possibly the best way 1866 01:34:08,120 --> 01:34:11,080 Speaker 11: to describe it. It was very very wet. I don't 1867 01:34:11,080 --> 01:34:12,799 Speaker 11: think I've ever been more soaked through. 1868 01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:15,120 Speaker 2: And it was very very long. 1869 01:34:16,040 --> 01:34:18,080 Speaker 11: It was very very long. Now as don't understand it. 1870 01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:21,639 Speaker 11: They'd never done a full technical rehearsal, and I think 1871 01:34:21,680 --> 01:34:25,000 Speaker 11: it overran significantly by about thirty to forty minutes, because 1872 01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:27,920 Speaker 11: you know, going about on boats isn't the quickest way 1873 01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:30,040 Speaker 11: of travel sometimes that you're having to sort of wait 1874 01:34:30,120 --> 01:34:32,240 Speaker 11: for that horse to go through the entire length of 1875 01:34:32,720 --> 01:34:35,040 Speaker 11: central Paris, and then you know that boat with Serena 1876 01:34:35,160 --> 01:34:37,080 Speaker 11: Nadel where they were getting soaked and it was bumping 1877 01:34:37,080 --> 01:34:38,720 Speaker 11: in the wave that had to come back up. So 1878 01:34:39,280 --> 01:34:41,240 Speaker 11: it was a bit long. I'm glad that I was 1879 01:34:41,360 --> 01:34:43,760 Speaker 11: just a reporter and managed to watch it for free, 1880 01:34:43,800 --> 01:34:46,320 Speaker 11: because I'd be a bit disappointed if i'd paid. If 1881 01:34:46,360 --> 01:34:47,840 Speaker 11: you were in a stadium and you pay, you know, 1882 01:34:47,920 --> 01:34:50,519 Speaker 11: you see everything in the round, don't you see the 1883 01:34:50,560 --> 01:34:53,240 Speaker 11: whole couple of hours, whereas the people that I was 1884 01:34:53,280 --> 01:34:55,519 Speaker 11: with that had paid tickets, they could just see, you know, 1885 01:34:55,680 --> 01:34:59,479 Speaker 11: one little bit of a performance, the performance where you 1886 01:34:59,520 --> 01:35:01,599 Speaker 11: saw the to a nette. We could sort of see 1887 01:35:01,680 --> 01:35:03,840 Speaker 11: that building and that was it, and then we saw 1888 01:35:03,880 --> 01:35:05,600 Speaker 11: the boats of teams of course, but the rest of 1889 01:35:05,680 --> 01:35:08,080 Speaker 11: the time we were just standing in the rain watching 1890 01:35:08,120 --> 01:35:10,600 Speaker 11: the big screen together to get the whole experience. So 1891 01:35:10,960 --> 01:35:13,439 Speaker 11: that was a little disappointing. But the weather has turned 1892 01:35:13,560 --> 01:35:15,479 Speaker 11: nice since then and all the events I've been to, 1893 01:35:15,520 --> 01:35:18,360 Speaker 11: the rugby sevens at the South of France absolutely sold 1894 01:35:18,439 --> 01:35:21,000 Speaker 11: out electric atmosphere. I think that's been something great actually 1895 01:35:21,280 --> 01:35:23,360 Speaker 11: that we've had trouble. We know, we had this in 1896 01:35:23,439 --> 01:35:26,120 Speaker 11: London where there were big seats, patches of seats that 1897 01:35:26,160 --> 01:35:28,599 Speaker 11: were empty. I think they've cracked down a little bit 1898 01:35:28,640 --> 01:35:32,120 Speaker 11: on the corporate hospitality. The seats were much more reasonably 1899 01:35:32,160 --> 01:35:35,080 Speaker 11: priced this time. Every event I've been to has been packed. Today. 1900 01:35:35,120 --> 01:35:37,880 Speaker 11: There are no tickets available apart from handball if you 1901 01:35:37,920 --> 01:35:40,800 Speaker 11: want to go to anything last minute. But at the 1902 01:35:41,080 --> 01:35:43,599 Speaker 11: beach volleyball of the Eiffel Tower on Sunday, and yes 1903 01:35:43,680 --> 01:35:46,200 Speaker 11: there was a roll on Garrass for the tennis, it's 1904 01:35:46,240 --> 01:35:50,120 Speaker 11: been really well managed, lots of friendly volunteers. They're doing 1905 01:35:50,160 --> 01:35:52,880 Speaker 11: a real party atmosphere, lots of music and djaying in 1906 01:35:53,000 --> 01:35:55,840 Speaker 11: the little breaks between sets or in between games of 1907 01:35:55,880 --> 01:35:58,680 Speaker 11: the sport that you're doing. And the French seem to 1908 01:35:58,680 --> 01:35:59,200 Speaker 11: have really got. 1909 01:35:59,120 --> 01:35:59,519 Speaker 9: On board with it. 1910 01:36:00,200 --> 01:36:03,519 Speaker 2: Okay, Vincent McAvennie, I thank you, and hey, I want 1911 01:36:03,560 --> 01:36:05,640 Speaker 2: to say something about the Paris Olympics. You've got to 1912 01:36:05,720 --> 01:36:07,840 Speaker 2: realize that the French are doing a big job on 1913 01:36:07,920 --> 01:36:10,600 Speaker 2: this because a couple of reasons. Nobody else wants to 1914 01:36:10,680 --> 01:36:13,000 Speaker 2: do this, because it's too expensive. They want it to 1915 01:36:13,040 --> 01:36:15,240 Speaker 2: be sustainable, and they're trying to do it on the cheap. 1916 01:36:15,439 --> 01:36:17,280 Speaker 2: That's why they're doing the stuff at Start de France. 1917 01:36:17,280 --> 01:36:20,240 Speaker 2: They haven't built a new stadium, and if they don't 1918 01:36:20,240 --> 01:36:23,080 Speaker 2: get it right, there's some thought that maybe the Olympic 1919 01:36:23,120 --> 01:36:24,960 Speaker 2: Games as we know it will not be the same. 1920 01:36:25,080 --> 01:36:26,920 Speaker 2: So I wish them all the best of luck and 1921 01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:29,120 Speaker 2: sell every ticket that you can. It is eight to 1922 01:36:29,240 --> 01:36:30,679 Speaker 2: seven news Talk ZB. 1923 01:36:33,640 --> 01:36:37,479 Speaker 1: Whether it's macro micro or just playing economics, it's all 1924 01:36:37,560 --> 01:36:41,200 Speaker 1: on the Business Hour with Heather Dupleicy Ellen and my HR. 1925 01:36:41,560 --> 01:36:43,839 Speaker 1: The HR platform for SME used. 1926 01:36:43,640 --> 01:36:45,880 Speaker 5: TALKSB New Talks. 1927 01:36:45,920 --> 01:36:47,760 Speaker 2: Heb I'm Andrew Dickens. Almost time for me to go, 1928 01:36:47,840 --> 01:36:50,360 Speaker 2: of course, Darcy Watergrave coming up after seven o'clock. Darcy 1929 01:36:50,439 --> 01:36:52,600 Speaker 2: reported to me today that he's never been fitter and 1930 01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:55,240 Speaker 2: healthier than he is right now, he said, going to 1931 01:36:55,280 --> 01:36:58,280 Speaker 2: the gym. His diet is bang on. He has lost 1932 01:36:58,320 --> 01:37:00,919 Speaker 2: a lot of weight. He says, I am so gorgeous, 1933 01:37:01,280 --> 01:37:03,880 Speaker 2: and I had to agree with him, so that is good. 1934 01:37:03,920 --> 01:37:05,559 Speaker 2: He is also going to be talking to the head 1935 01:37:05,600 --> 01:37:09,160 Speaker 2: of Triathan New Zealand after the seven o'clock news, and 1936 01:37:09,280 --> 01:37:13,200 Speaker 2: this is because, of course the Triathan's being postponed. My parents. 1937 01:37:13,280 --> 01:37:16,320 Speaker 2: This is their one big, big mistake. Apparently the water 1938 01:37:16,400 --> 01:37:18,840 Speaker 2: in the center is too filthy.
