1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,840
Speaker 1: Might be a little bit of help, maybe some light

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: for beleagued businesses in the capital. The mayor is considering

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: support for those affected by the Golden Mile construction. Between

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,319
Speaker 1: the cost of living, the job cuts, employees working from home,

5
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: all of that. Downtown is in real trouble, as I'm

6
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: sure you're well aware, Guardian of the Golden Miles spokespurs

7
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: and Barry Wilson's back. Whether it's very morning to you,

8
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: good morning's hold the bait that's going on in Wellington

9
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: at the moment, you know, whether it's dying or not.

10
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: What's your view?

11
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: Generally the players is not dying and we're not in

12
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: the rigid waters, but we are in some deep trouble,

13
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 2: pretty more so than your goodhood. No, we've got a

14
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 2: lot of dumb stuff going on, a lot of too

15
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 2: much work, too much disruption, too much mad planning and

16
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 2: too much training around reitnessy and too many raid cones.

17
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: Is there any sense of what the council could do

18
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: apart from not do the Golden Mile by way of

19
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: help for businesses.

20
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: It's basically possible to do. It's just a fantasy of

21
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 2: the mere and various of the people that a Chile

22
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: is no, they're cant afford this. I mean when the

23
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: interventions in Bond Street and like every a few years ago,

24
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: or they're closed off Bond Street that you might require

25
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: some majestic power business round fifty percent? Well, how do

26
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 2: you commentate fifty percent? Unless they give over commensation aid numbers,

27
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: you've lost. It won't work. Little attitudes and small help

28
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,839
Speaker 2: and the small gifts means nothing.

29
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: That's correct. This is a council that's crippled by debt.

30
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: They had their credit rating lowered this week by SMP.

31
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: How is it they have money, they can spend money.

32
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: They don't have saving businesses that are going under because

33
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: of the actions that they won't accept are the actions

34
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: that are driving the businesses under in the first place.

35
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 2: Good points you make them and said we're singing. Is

36
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 2: that's planners and os on face embarking that. I mean

37
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: the left we call them the gray the gray green left,

38
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 2: just business bangers. They have no idea, no background the business,

39
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: no idea about money, how to earn it, save it,

40
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: guard it, they spend it. There's absolutely reckless pirates.

41
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: Really, is there any possibility that the rejing of the

42
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: Golden Mile won't happen or are they helping.

43
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 2: Well, I know they help end, but I think we've

44
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 2: got it pretty much cut out of the pass. I

45
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: mean they've changed so many things that it's really meant

46
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 2: that they're defying Minister's peer words. I mean they're taking

47
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: away two critical boat stops they say they can't replace

48
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: and put back leats is done, because that would be

49
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 2: a positive just finally to do the positives. But the

50
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: biggest thing we found out this is the news of today.

51
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: Read what the news recently. Marris Orders, a very leaning journalist,

52
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: found us out. We have a Waker Katahi board a

53
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: minute or a brief from Brett Ginnon and Robin Elston

54
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: to the board which says that the Golden Mile has

55
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: business support. That was absolute falsehood. And so we're saying

56
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 2: now that the border of Walker Kadahi to end to

57
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: borrow of the one three nine million was based on

58
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 2: a falsehood by officers. And that's when with Walker Caday,

59
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 2: all these people are walking in lockstip with the council

60
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 2: officers through a whole bend on Miss Looney Golden Mile.

61
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: They care a revitalization, it's a ruin.

62
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: Has Mike good only Wilson. Barry appreciate it very much.

63
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: Barry Wilson, Guardian into the Golden Mile. The State of

64
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: Homebrigade aren't helping as well. I wonder whether there's some

65
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: sort of role for the government, and that Shane Jones,

66
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: by the way, who's sort of tied up his associate

67
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: Energy Minister and regional Minister. He'll be with us after

68
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: seven on the Windstone thing. But Wellington in terms of

69
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: people being at home, has been an ongoing problem of course.

70
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to

71
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,320
