Looks like there's real growth there too. 6 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,240 Speaker 2: Corey Kent, you know the name. He's in the country 7 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,279 Speaker 2: with Jason el Dean, so he's in for some music 8 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,920 Speaker 2: chat after eight o'clock this morning. Catherine Fields in Europe, 9 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 2: Rod Little does the UK wos Posky, Welcome to the day, 10 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 2: seven past six, now this time around the Brook van 11 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 2: Velden lead. Employment law changes which I've got passed in 12 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 2: Parliament a couple of days ago have been described as 13 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 2: a shakeup. In fact, some call it a major shakeup. 14 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 2: But as someone who well remembers the Employment Contracts Act 15 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 2: and Bill birch Watt's being offered as merely a writing 16 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 2: of a badly out of whack employment market, the usual 17 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 2: whining from the unions has ensued. In a nutshell. There's 18 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 2: a limit on personal grievance procedures. It defines what a 19 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 2: contractor is as opposed to an employee. The thirty day 20 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 2: trial is gone. If you earn a lot ie over 21 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 2: two hundred thousand dollars, you can't go an employer for 22 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 2: wrongfuld dismissal. I actually have experience in this area. I 23 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 2: was effectively effectively sacked by TBN said about twenty five 24 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 2: years ago. I was on over two hundred thousand dollars. 25 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 2: Under that particular law or under this law, I couldn't 26 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 2: have gone after them. But guess what, I didn't go 27 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 2: after them anyway? Why? Because who wants to work for 28 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 2: people that treat you that way? And that, in essence 29 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 2: is a lot of what the workplace is actually about. 30 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 2: There are bad employers and good employers and a lot 31 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,479 Speaker 2: of employers in between. Rules are based on worst case scenarios. 32 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 2: It's never been you'll be surprised to hear this. It's 33 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 2: never been a better time to be a worker in 34 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 2: this country. I mean, yes, jobs are tight as of late, 35 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 2: but if you are good and determined, you can one 36 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 2: get work because good people are hideously hard to find, 37 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 2: and two you can succeed quickly. Most people and I 38 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 2: cite forty five years in the workplace here at the 39 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 2: very least mean well, many are actually quite good work 40 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 2: should be about enjoyment and learning and development of skills 41 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 2: and the climbing of ladders. If you are bogged down 42 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 2: in worst case scenarios, you go nowhere. Equally, as an employer, 43 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 2: how do you grow your business when you're ankle tapped 44 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 2: by a mindset that infers your bad news? So all 45 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 2: sorts of guard rails need to be enacted in law. 46 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: Bill Birch's law was not the end of the world. 47 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 2: Brook van Velden's won't be either. The workplace recipe should 48 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 2: not be complex, work hard, you do well. If you're 49 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 2: slack and entitled, you need to be sacked. If you're 50 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 2: young and inexperienced, you don't get to be the boss 51 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 2: in your second week. Not all your personal problems are 52 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,959 Speaker 2: your employers' problems. Not all employers are out to get you. 53 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 2: Unions buying larger trouble, negative and potentially ruinous, and I've 54 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 2: yet to see one that has the country's best interests 55 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,119 Speaker 2: at heart. We're all in this together. Too much employment 56 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 2: law pits us against each other, and no one wins. 57 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 2: Van Velden's laws are fine. No one is going to die. 58 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,959 Speaker 1: News of the world in ninety seconds. 59 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 2: Inflation read for the UK it's not bad and that's 60 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 2: the sort of thing that you battle PM needs. 61 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 3: You may have seen this morning that inflation has come 62 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 3: down again now to three percent and it's scheduled to 63 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 3: come down further. That will affect all of you because 64 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 3: that's not just a statistic, that is how much it 65 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 3: costs to do things Meantime. 66 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 2: Robert Jenerick, former Tory newly minted reform chancellor and waiting, 67 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 2: he has his own economic vision. 68 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 4: I commit to you today that if we win the 69 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 4: next election, reform will diffuse the benefits bomb that is 70 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 4: set to bankrupt Britain. We are developing the most comprehensive 71 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 4: plan for welfare reform in British politics. 72 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 2: As we celebrate Zoe Silber and Arrow so Beck, the 73 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 2: Olympic Committee is brought to fight by allowing some Russian 74 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 2: and Belo Russian athletes to perform under the flag at 75 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 2: the Paragames. Now that's led to Ukraine pulling the pin. 76 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 5: There will be debates, I think around going ongoing debates 77 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 5: about the integrity of these kind of things and also 78 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 5: the questions of if this is going to happen now 79 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 5: for the Paralympic games in Milankotina in March. Is that 80 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 5: going to happen? 81 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 2: Is that setting a president? Now the bed question? Then stightside, 82 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 2: the family of Jesse Jackson are paying tribute. 83 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: My father, our dad. 84 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 6: We part in the readership. 85 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: We call him reverend. 86 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 7: He has set such an example for us and. 87 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: Our city and our family. He has been a lion 88 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: among lions, stubborn to the very very end. 89 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 2: That's one of his sons. He had six kids. This 90 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 2: is Jesse Jackson junior. 91 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 7: Dad would have wanted us to have a great meeting 92 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 7: to discuss our differences, to find ways of moving forward 93 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 7: and moving together, and if his life becomes a turning 94 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 7: point in our national political discourse. 95 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 2: A man, does he sound like Baraco Bomber about thirty 96 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 2: years ago? 97 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 8: Or what? 98 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 2: And to the weather? America is so cold right now? 99 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: Now we want to show you Lake Superior. 100 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 7: We've got a store morning on Lake Superior right now, 101 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 7: five to eight footers. 102 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 6: Look at this. 103 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 7: Have you ever seen Lake Superior like this in person? 104 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 6: I have not. 105 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: Look at the snow I'm stepping in here. 106 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 6: Look at this. 107 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 2: Oh he didn't fall in He's still alive. Finally insight 108 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 2: into the GLP Revolution of one hundred and thirteen thousand 109 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 2: users renalized by a health foundation think tank called Boy. 110 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 2: Interesting thing is men and the elderly are statistically the 111 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 2: most in need of them, but almost eighty percent of 112 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 2: the jabs are being used by women, especially between the 113 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 2: ages of thirty and forty nine, So that's cosmetic as 114 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 2: opposed to medical. Sharp drop off in use after the 115 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: age of sixty. But do they work, Yes, they do, 116 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 2: and the UK alone GP visits have been freed up 117 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 2: by eighteen percent since the NHS began rolling out these jabs, 118 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 2: So that is news the world and a lighter world 119 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 2: at that. In ninety Yeah, before mentioned inflation rates, Sikiso 120 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 2: accurately pointed out three percent. That's a sharp fall. They 121 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 2: expected to fall in line to two percent by April. Meantime, 122 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 2: Oil yesterday was down because we decided that Iran wasn't 123 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 2: going to get bombed. But then JD comes out this 124 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 2: morning and go I didn't like the way those talks went, 125 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 2: So Oil's back up more shortly twelve past six. 126 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio how 127 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: It By News talks. 128 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 2: Eppy the war Russia, Ukraine, US in Geneva. Today's talks 129 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 2: only lasted two hours. The word is difficult. Nothing happened 130 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 2: fifteen Curing Partners Andrew Kella had good morning, very very 131 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 2: good morning, Mike. Cash rate wasn't really the story. The 132 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 2: commentary was would you make of it? 133 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 9: Yeah, so it's the latest missive from the RBNZA and 134 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 9: the first fall delivery from the new governor. Yeah, you're right, 135 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 9: no surprises. The RBNZ had left the OCR change at 136 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 9: two and a quarter. We talked about this yesterday morning. 137 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 9: It wasn't about that. We were interested in the detail 138 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 9: in this case. That's what is in the Monetary Policy Statement. 139 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 9: The first thing I'd note that this was a unanimous 140 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 9: decision Mike, by the Monetary Policy Committee, so no dissent 141 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 9: would suggests the committee as well. We can only infer 142 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 9: that they're working well now if we go back to 143 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 9: the last. 144 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 2: MPs so November. 145 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 9: What we have now is an expectation that we'll see 146 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 9: this official cash rate rise a little earlier. It's not 147 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 9: a seismic shift though. And if you look at the 148 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 9: OCR track, you know the RBNZAD they've got a model 149 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 9: which spits out numbers. It's got the OCR at two 150 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 9: point three eight percent by the end of this year, 151 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 9: so it's a touch higher than the current rate of 152 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 9: two and a quarter, which suggests the OCR is possibly 153 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 9: moving harder towards the end of this year, but certainly 154 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 9: by the beginning of next year. Look, there are what 155 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 9: I would call some encouraging trends in the statement, Mike, 156 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 9: I would stress that I think it's very much a 157 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 9: glass half full approach. I mean, in a nutshell, you've 158 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 9: got this beautiful combo of inflation, moderating growth, improving growth 159 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 9: drivers also broadening, which does feel like you because you've 160 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 9: got the spare capacity and the economy allowing that growth 161 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 9: to be absorbed without sparkling inflation problem. It does feel 162 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 9: like quite an optimistic view. Inflation is forecast to sort 163 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 9: of slowly temper and be back inside the target range 164 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 9: by by the end of the year, which is under 165 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 9: three percent, and then slowly and gradually it moves towards 166 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 9: the midpoint of the target range over twenty twenty seven, 167 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 9: and it's companied by an equally gradual increase in the OCR. 168 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 9: Over the course of twenty twenty seven, it tops out 169 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 9: at sort of three percent. I think it's twenty twenty eight. 170 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 9: By then again the risks to inflation scenes being balanced. 171 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 9: Now something I'm really worried about, Mike. The growth forecasts 172 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 9: are are quite optimistic. I think if you see that 173 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 9: material economic recovery, I think a lot of businesses that 174 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 9: have been doing it hard are going to want to 175 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 9: recapture their margins, recapture profitability, and they'll put their prices up. 176 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 9: The downside, though, is issues such as households continue to 177 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 9: sort of ration their spending, and particularly if you don't 178 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 9: get a house price recovery which is not forecast, the 179 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 9: thing is an overly hawkish statement I think would have 180 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 9: potentially exaggerated that risk. Look in general, the tone of 181 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 9: the statement was probably a little more dubbish than the 182 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 9: market had been expecting it was. That's evidenced by wholestal 183 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 9: interstrates falling in a lower New Zealand dollar over the 184 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 9: course of the day. Yes, say, we've got a positive 185 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 9: response on the ins andex as well. I think my 186 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 9: sort of final word, Mike, I think it's a sensible, pragmatic, 187 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 9: but potentially a little overly optimistic start to the Brendan 188 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 9: era at the RBNZ. 189 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 2: Well, I'm looking forward to talking to it. I will 190 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 2: put that to after seven thirty. Now, the whole that 191 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 2: Fletchers have found themselves in, they're still there. Are they digging? 192 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 2: What's going on? They're digging. 193 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 9: I mean, it's been a tumultuous and sponsoruous few years 194 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 9: for Fletcher Building. They released their half year results yesterday. Look, 195 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 9: they recorded an arter tax loss. But the thing is 196 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 9: there's a whole bunch of significant items in there. So 197 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 9: this is the continuation of the construction project legacy costs. 198 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 9: These are just the gifts that keep on giving. They 199 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 9: have now sold the construction business, so it's gone, but 200 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 9: it does retain some liabilities and projects like the International 201 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 9: Convention Center. If you look through that, you've got underl 202 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 9: earnings of one hundred and forty five million. They see 203 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 9: no meaningful improvement in their New Zealand market volumes until 204 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 9: the calendar year twenty twenty seven, encouraging that the second 205 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 9: quarter of the half year was than the first quarter. 206 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 9: They're continuing to look for cost out initiatives. They're still 207 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 9: working through this turnaround plan. The balance sheet looks pretty solid. 208 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 6: Still no dividend there. 209 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 2: Just note little things in here. 210 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 10: Mate. 211 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 9: So the distribution business, which hasn't it Things like placemakers 212 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 9: that made a loss, which tells you how tough it's 213 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 9: been in that sort of in that area over the 214 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 9: past year. Look, they'll be encouraged. I would have thought 215 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 9: by those growth projections in the RB and Z statement. 216 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 9: Share price yesterday is pretty stable. It sort of did 217 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 9: improve in the last quarter of twenty twenty five, pulled 218 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 9: back a bit in February. 219 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 2: But look they're getting there. 220 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 9: I think the market would really like to see some 221 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 9: real material improvements and those legacy project losses becoming a 222 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 9: historical issue.

You've got a real mix 338 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 11: within the construction sexor so it going to be some 339 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 11: roles that are very plentiful in terms of the available talent, 340 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 11: and there'll be some that are difficult to fill. Broadly speaking, 341 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 11: that the amount of available talent in the market at 342 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 11: the moment is pretty strong. 343 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 2: Okay, so once so they soak that up. I'm trying 344 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 2: to think big picture here. Do we get to a 345 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 2: point where if an area or industry like that continues, 346 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,959 Speaker 2: you then start to potentially suck people back from places 347 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 2: like Australia or not. 348 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 11: Possibly we tend to be a net loser to Australia unfortunately. 349 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 11: But there are other markets where we obviously bring in talent. 350 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 11: You know, obviously the Philippines is a pretty important market 351 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 11: for New Zealand in particular construction sector. So with net 352 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 11: migration being quite low at the moment, you know, that 353 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 11: is a possibility and we might start to see that 354 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 11: grow at all. 355 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 2: Wellington's up, which is good given the Wellington story, but 356 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 2: a three point three percent rise in government, I mean 357 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 2: I thought they were sort of I mean, any job's 358 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 2: a good job, but the public service thing gets a 359 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 2: bit political, doesn't it. 360 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 11: It does a little bit. I mean obviously that covers 361 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 11: a lot of the regional councils as well, and they've 362 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 11: had a hell of a time over the last eighteen months. 363 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 11: So look, it's a little bit of a recovery. Not 364 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 11: nearly back to the levels it was, but it's good 365 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 11: to see that, you know, they're rebounding, just like the 366 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 11: rest of the country. 367 00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 2: Is really what's the Auckland story. 368 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 11: Is in absolute terms, you know, good growth numbers, but 369 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 11: in percentage terms, is lagging the rest of the country. 370 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 11: I think the real story geographically is still a South 371 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 11: Island you know, up sort of twenty percent in terms 372 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 11: of job add volumes, and that's you know, that's off 373 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 11: the back of some things going their way. Obviously good 374 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:22,479 Speaker 11: population growth, infrastructure, recovering tourism sector and a growing egg sector. 375 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 11: So things are going pretty well in the South. 376 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 2: As you have that egg sector, you've got it still growing. 377 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 2: How much longer? How big does agg get and how 378 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 2: reliant do we become on a single thing? And is 379 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 2: that like Noki're on the farm? 380 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 11: Well you hope not. I mean, obviously it's it's reasonably 381 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 11: broad in terms of what that sector covers. Really pleasing 382 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 11: to see that both beef and sheep are doing well, 383 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 11: you know, off the back of some pretty torrid times, 384 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 11: but obviously derry continues to be to be strong. So 385 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 11: you're generally speaking, eggs going really well across the market. 386 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 2: Okay, and where do we get that? Where's that line? 387 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 2: So presumably as things, you know, people listen this in 388 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 2: the go, I might get back into the market. So 389 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 2: these your participation rate going up juxtaposing against the five 390 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 2: point four when does that drop? 391 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 11: We would expect that to start topping pretty soon. You know. 392 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 11: We tend to be a quite a good lead indicator 393 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 11: in terms of obviously employment in the market, and we've 394 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 11: seen that sort of six months growth unemployments obviously forecast 395 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 11: to come down over time, which is encouraging. And if 396 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 11: you are a job seeker, you know, the more jobs available, 397 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,919 Speaker 11: the less competitive it gets, and obviously that's been pretty 398 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 11: tough for job seekers over the last little while with 399 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 11: application rates being so high. 400 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 2: Well, it's good to have you on the program, mate, 401 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 2: appreciate it. Rob Clark, who's the SEAK country manager Morning Mike. 402 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 2: You mentioned earlier there's limited opportunity for growth and agriculture 403 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 2: horticulture has unlimited opportunities. Deerries focused on added value very 404 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 2: successfully as the world craves protein sheep and beef for 405 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 2: revving up sheep, especially with all back in scope. What 406 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 2: a shame we thought carbon credits and cheap and beef 407 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 2: country was in our best interests. I hope you're right 408 00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 2: on that duty. Appreciate at nineteen. 409 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 1: Two the Mic Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio 410 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: powered by News Talks. 411 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,719 Speaker 2: It be now most of us pretty good at routine 412 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 2: health checks, I think, aren't we. We see the old GP. 413 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 2: When something feels a bit off, we go to the 414 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 2: dentists regularly. We book those iteas. Some people even get 415 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 2: the old mold maps. You know, stay on top of things. 416 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 2: But hearing. Hearing is one of those areas we tend 417 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 2: to ignore. And hearing changes slowly, so it's super easy 418 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 2: to adapt without even realizing what you're missing, and before 419 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,199 Speaker 2: long it becomes normal. So the problem is hearing affects 420 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 2: more than just sound, of course, it affects how you communicate, 421 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 2: how tired you feel, how confident you are in social situations, 422 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 2: how connected your stay to people around you. So that's 423 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 2: why checking the old hearing should be part of looking 424 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 2: after your overall health, not something you leave until it 425 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 2: becomes a problem. This is where Resonate come and Resonate 426 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 2: Health's ear three sixty assessment that looks at you're hearing, 427 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 2: how it's impacting your everyday life, not not just what 428 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 2: you hear in a booth. So if you mention Mike 429 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 2: sent you when your book, you're going to get fifty 430 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 2: percent off. So we've arranged something nice for you there. 431 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 2: Fifty percent off that three sixty assessment. So if you 432 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 2: believe in prevention and prevented of health, it's worth adding 433 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 2: to the list. Eight hundred seven three seven sixty six two. 434 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 2: You got that eight hundred seven three seven sixty six 435 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 2: to two Resonatehealth dot co dot m z Pasky if 436 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 2: one testing day one of three, Part two of testing 437 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 2: in Bahrain, Lawson looks good rustles the fastest more shortly 438 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 2: six forty. 439 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: Five International correspondence with NZI Eye Insurance Peace of Mind 440 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business. 441 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 2: Rights Katherine, how are you? I'm great, Thank you very 442 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 2: I find the seamlessly fascinating, but I could well just 443 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 2: be a wonk. But this Legarde stuff has been floating 444 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 2: for a while and it keeps floating, and I always 445 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 2: believe the something in it is she leaving early or not? 446 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,719 Speaker 2: And if so, why, Okay, Well, what you're talking about there? 447 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 12: Christine Legard the President of the European Central Bank, probably 448 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 12: one of the most powerful bankers in Europe. Command the 449 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 12: position commands enormous financial firepower. She was appointed twenty nineteen 450 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 12: for an eight year term. The rumor is, as you say, 451 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 12: it's been around for a long time, that she's contemplating leaving. 452 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 12: She's seventy years old. She doesn't have to leave until 453 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,199 Speaker 12: her term actually ends late twenty twenty seven, but the 454 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 12: buzz is that she needs to go now, relatively soon, 455 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 12: so as French President Emanuel Macwell and German Chancellor Frederick 456 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 12: Mez can appoint someone like minded into the position. They're 457 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 12: really frightened about what will happen if the far right 458 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 12: get into power in some of the more the larger 459 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 12: European economies, let's put it that way. So that's why 460 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 12: it's come back again. These European Central Bank earlier on 461 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 12: today said no, she's going to be there. She's happy 462 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 12: she's staying, but certainly there is concern that you, especially 463 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 12: with what we saw in the US the Federal Reserve, 464 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 12: perhaps it's time to what they call future proof these 465 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 12: are institutions. 466 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 2: And does that same thinking apply to Macron at home 467 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 2: with the Bank of front It. 468 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 12: Would seem to depends really on who you speak to 469 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 12: about that, Mike. If you speak to sort of people 470 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 12: who don't like him, Manual Macron, they say, while all 471 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,719 Speaker 12: he's doing is he's putting his chums in positions, thanking 472 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 12: them for supporting him while he was president, because next 473 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 12: year he's up for reelection and he can't stand again. 474 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 12: Now that means that what has happened is the governor 475 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 12: of the Bank of France has stepped down. 476 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 5: A year early. 477 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 12: So we're all waiting to hear who gets that job. 478 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 12: We've also just heard that the new government auditor or 479 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 12: state auditor, really it's a powerful oversight position has been 480 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 12: given to one of Macron's early political ally is a woman, 481 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 12: a Alida Monchelon. She is very new to politics. She 482 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 12: had joined politics in twenty seventeen. She's only forty years old, 483 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 12: so she'll be in that job for quite some time, 484 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 12: probably till she's forced to retire at age sixty eight. 485 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 12: That mat Kron has appointed to the Constitutional Authority, to 486 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 12: the Constitutional Council, he's appointed right hand man there. So 487 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 12: it depends on who you believe. Is he ring fencing 488 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 12: it ahead of a possible far right government or is 489 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 12: he giving his chum's job to thank them for their support. 490 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, and how independent are they in that sense? Because 491 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 2: we've just gone through the process here, we've got a 492 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 2: brand new Reserve Bank governor. She came in from offshore 493 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 2: and from Sweden. We see it, broadly speaking as independent. 494 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 2: You don't in America do people look at the guard 495 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:30,959 Speaker 2: and whoever they put in the Bank of France and go, 496 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 2: you know, no matter who appointed them, they're legit, straight 497 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 2: up and down. 498 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 12: Yeah, it's sort of that. One of the things about 499 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 12: France and also Germany is they have these schools, I 500 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 12: think we can call them schools where they produce bureaucrats. 501 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 12: And these bureaucrats are either lawyers or their accountants, and 502 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 12: they just know how to serve the state. And you know, 503 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 12: it's a really big European concept, the notion that you 504 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 12: are part of the state and not belonging to a 505 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 12: political party, and it's thought that once you leave government 506 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 12: and that you leave behind your party legends. But of 507 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 12: course you know someone like Christie mcguard obviously, you know 508 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 12: she's on that side of the market. At the same 509 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 12: as Manual macran banking background legis said, so you know 510 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 12: it's hard, but they do say they're appointed by the state, 511 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 12: not by the people. 512 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 2: What would you get a couple of quick questions on 513 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 2: the Olympics, What would you say. I mean, you're in 514 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 2: a different part of the world and you're into the 515 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 2: skis and the slipes and the Alps and all that 516 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,439 Speaker 2: sort of stuff. Here we struggle a bit. We've got 517 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 2: a team of seventeen. There's only a small part of 518 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 2: the country that produces these sort of sports. Has it 519 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 2: been a big deal? Is it a big deal? 520 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 5: Oh? 521 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 12: Huge deal? And not just because France is fourth and 522 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 12: the medals table best Winter Olympics so far there was 523 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 12: seventeen medals. I think what it's becoming very interesting to 524 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 12: look at the Winter Olympics is the effect that climate 525 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 12: change is having on it. You look at where it's 526 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 12: being held at the moment. There's three areas in Italy, Olivierno, 527 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 12: Milan and Cortina. They had some quite good snow a 528 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,439 Speaker 12: couple of weeks ago, but enough so the way that 529 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 12: the Winter Olympics are that they're usually held in February. 530 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 12: Climate change. It's much warmer now than it used to 531 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 12: be in February, so you've got, particularly these particular Olympics, 532 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 12: eighty five percent of the snow is artificial. 533 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 2: So do they need to change? 534 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 12: It's what they're changing, and they're saying that they're going 535 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 12: to make this happen is if you're going to have 536 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 12: the Winter Olympics. There's only actually now so many places 537 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 12: in the world, and they say that there's about thirty 538 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 12: nations who have got the climate and the facilities to 539 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 12: be able to host this. 540 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 2: Big, huge thing. 541 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 12: And so what they're looking at is you have these 542 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 12: this core group of countries and it will rotate around them. 543 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 12: And they're also saying eighty percent of the venues have 544 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 12: got to be existing. So keep an eye at Mike 545 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 12: because it's in France and twenty thirty. 546 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. It's the same thing with summer, isn't it. London, 547 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 2: La Paris, China, et cetera. Kine, nice to talk to you. 548 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 2: We'll see and we'll see you next week on Tuesday 549 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 2: here on the Mic asking break this nine to seven. 550 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: The mic host Breakfast with Bailey's Real Estate US Dogs. 551 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 2: They'd be the very brief summation. George Russell fastest for 552 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 2: the day with Mercedes McLaren got some good laps and 553 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 2: Piastre was second at one one hundredth of a second 554 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 2: slower than Russell. So the consumers they had last week 555 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 2: that there were big gaps seems to be getting sorted out. 556 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 2: Lando came in fourth, had you had trouble water system 557 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 2: issue with the car. The big four were in the 558 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 2: top seven, so we thought they'd be they kind of ore. 559 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 2: Williams is in the midfield. Aston had a few technical issues, 560 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 2: so Alonso was limited to twenty eight laps. Lance had 561 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 2: a few problems, he was limited to twenty six. So 562 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 2: Aston is still trying to get that together. Cadillac reliability problems. 563 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 2: Perrier has only got out twenty four laps for the day. 564 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 2: Lawson came in as I mentioned, twelfth, so that's day 565 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 2: one of three, but we'll keep you posted five to seven. 566 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: Well, the ins and the outs, it's the fizz with 567 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 1: business favor, take your business productivity to the next level. 568 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 2: Sorry, more good news. Z espree full season forecasts twenty 569 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 2: five to twenty six. Records are just being shattered, left, right, 570 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 2: and center. So hectares portray increased from November forecast for green, 571 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 2: organic green, and organic sun gold. The per tray returns 572 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 2: for sun gold, Sweet green, and ruby red. They're in 573 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 2: line with the November forecast. So what does that mean? 574 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 2: They've sold a record crop of two hundred and fifteen 575 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 2: million trays, which is up twenty seven percent. Sales window 576 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 2: is going to be a month longer all the way 577 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 2: into March, thank the good Lord, because we don't want 578 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 2: to import that Italian crap. That's awful. Green growers now 579 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 2: have a forecast return of ten dollars a tray and 580 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 2: we're set to break the record again as early estimates 581 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 2: have us producing a record two hundred and twenty million trays. 582 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 2: So the texture was right the hot text earlier on 583 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 2: in the program. So this is this is why the 584 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 2: government is going to be so interesting this morning. If 585 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 2: we're not getting immigration and housing isn't driving the economy, 586 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 2: what is? And the answer is kiwi fruit and cows 587 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 2: and sheep and things of beef. And lamb and wool, 588 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 2: if it's on the farm, if it's in the field, 589 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 2: if somebody is growing something, that's where the money's coming from. 590 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 2: And it just keeps on keeping on. But the question 591 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 2: you ask, I mean, you saw the dairy auction result 592 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 2: yesterday again, four or four so far this year bang 593 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 2: bang bang bang up up up and up will crash 594 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 2: through ten dollars. That's all great, but you've got to 595 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 2: be at some point you've got to ask how high 596 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 2: can it go and for how long? And how long 597 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 2: is or how dangerous is it for an economy to 598 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 2: be so reliant on sheep and beef and kiwi fruit 599 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 2: before when the world demand does change, and it will 600 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 2: that we have nothing else to rely on. Where's the manufacturing, 601 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 2: where's the industrial you know, where's the tech? All of 602 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 2: those sort of questions. Bradley Olson's been listening to the governor. 603 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 2: He's with us directly after seven. He thinks she's missed something. 604 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: He's next the newsmakers and the personalities, the big names 605 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: talk to Mike the Mic asking breakfast with Bailey's real 606 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: estate altogether better across residential, commercial and rural news. 607 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 2: Togs Head be falling seven past seven right. The resis 608 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 2: the bank was extra interesting for a couple of reasons. 609 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 2: One we've built a new governor, she's with us shortly, 610 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 2: and two it's their first outing of the year. Of course, 611 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 2: cash right too too far, that wasn't the news. The 612 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 2: word dubvish was used by some Brad Olsen as the 613 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 2: chief executive, of course, principal economists and informetrics and with 614 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 2: us Brad morning, good morning. This lars a fair attitude. 615 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 2: She seems to have. Inflation Is that going to pop 616 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 2: right back into the box the way she seems to 617 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 2: indicate it will? 618 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: Well, that's the. 619 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 13: Reserve banks expectations. They've said pretty clearly that they are 620 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 13: confident that inflation will be back within the box within 621 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 13: the current quarter and then back to two percent within 622 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 13: the next twelve months. Again, I'm hopeful of that, but 623 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 13: the bank did seem to be a little bit less 624 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 13: phase than we probably were expecting, with having inflation out 625 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 13: the top of the band and just some of the 626 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 13: pressures that are sitting there. In fact, the bank said 627 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 13: quite specifically that they thought that risks to the inflation 628 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 13: outlook were balanced. There's both potential for a bit more 629 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 13: pressure if the economy started to keep going a bit quicker. 630 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 13: But equally there's the ability for inflation to fall away 631 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 13: quite a bit quicker if the economy recovery started to stall. 632 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 13: Now I'm sort of more of the view that there's 633 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 13: probably upside risk. It's more likely to be worse than 634 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 13: it is to get better. But the Bank's got a 635 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 13: slightly different view. Importantly, they haven't changed anything particularly. They haven't, 636 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 13: you know, completely whip swored. They have just provided a 637 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 13: little bit more of a guidance around where interest rates 638 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 13: might go over the next year. 639 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,479 Speaker 2: Do you think that's the Bremen thing? In other words, 640 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 2: she in her heart of hearts, goes, I don't want 641 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 2: to scare any horses on my first time out. Let's 642 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 2: just walk a tight rope, say a bit of this 643 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 2: and a bit of that, and we'll see how we go. 644 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 2: Is there anything in that? 645 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 13: I think the governor is just generally playing with a 646 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 13: pre straight bat. She's also got a wider committee. It's 647 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 13: not just the one person who makes the decision on 648 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 13: how things are communicated. But even in her press conference yesterday, 649 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 13: I think she tried to highlight all the different challenges 650 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 13: that are out there that the Reserve Bank's got to 651 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 13: grapple with. I mean, it is a real toss up, 652 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 13: if you will, Given that the economy still doesn't feel 653 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 13: like it's fully got that recovery momentum, the Reserve Bank 654 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 13: doesn't want to cut that off at the knees too 655 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 13: quickly by spooking anyone. But equally they have got to 656 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 13: always be sort of focused on inflation. So it's a 657 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,239 Speaker 13: tricky balance, and I think the Governor actually played it 658 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 13: very well. It's a pretty straight bat. Everyone can get 659 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 13: something out of it. It was ever so slightly dubvish 660 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 13: relative to expectations, but I don't think we should read 661 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 13: too much into that. It wasn't the big pivots that 662 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 13: we've had in previous years. 663 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 2: You're still calling Lake this year for a hike. 664 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 13: At the moment, yes, December seems to be that the 665 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 13: likely month. Markets are picking a bit earlier, sort of 666 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 13: September October, and I could see that happening. I don't 667 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 13: think it's any earlier than that, But I also don't 668 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 13: know if the Reserve Bank will be able to wait 669 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 13: it out till twenty twenty seven. At some point, those 670 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 13: inflationary pressures and realities will come through, especially if the 671 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 13: economic recovery does get going, which would be a good thing, 672 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 13: but they will need to normalize interest rates and get 673 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 13: it back to that Goldilock zone where they're not adding 674 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 13: anything specific to the economy, but they're not taking away 675 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 13: anything either. That's a happy balance and we're getting closer, 676 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 13: but we're clearly not there yet. 677 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 2: Bradley, it is little shelter of shearer joy as always, 678 00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 2: brad Olsen out of infometrics this morning, ten and it's 679 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 2: past seven. Must get another report into the way we 680 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 2: treat some of our kids. Since twenty twenty one, twenty 681 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 2: four kids have been killed, most under five, and they 682 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 2: are all known to the state agencies. Of course, we 683 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 2: find the system has gaps, no kidding. Major recommendations from 684 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 2: earlier reviews haven't been implemented, no kidding. Aaron Jones is 685 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 2: the Independent Children's Monitor Chief executive and is with us. Aaron, 686 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 2: very good morning to you. 687 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 14: Yeah, good morning to hear mate. 688 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 2: Awfully depressing, This isn't it? 689 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 11: It is? 690 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, and has been for years and I don't know 691 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 2: how many interviews I've done on the subject, and nothing 692 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 2: changes will it ever? 693 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 14: And that's the point We've had reports after reports over 694 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 14: decades now that are calling from improvements to a child 695 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 14: protection system, and those changes aren't happening, or certainly aren't 696 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 14: happening fast enough. 697 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 2: My long held view is we ask too much of 698 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 2: the agencies. In other words, you are dealing with a 699 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 2: slice of New Zealand, as small as it may be, 700 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 2: that is so depraved and unusual. No agency can realistically 701 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 2: be expected to do miracles. Basically, is that unfair? 702 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 14: We thing It's a real is challenging work, and you're right, 703 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 14: we've got a real issue in news in terms of 704 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 14: domestic violence, family violence, and then harmed children, and there 705 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 14: are some deep seated issues that go well beyond what 706 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 14: these agencies can do to respond. But at the end 707 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 14: of the day, there's certainly things that can be improved 708 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 14: for those agencies. That's what Dame Karen was calling out 709 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 14: in their recommendations, and it's happening to see that the 710 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 14: last year government finally accepted all of those recommendations she 711 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 14: made and now they're going to put some things in place, 712 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 14: and our jobs to see whether those things are making 713 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 14: a difference. 714 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,759 Speaker 2: The lack of implementation up to this point is that 715 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,879 Speaker 2: deliberate or in competence or both. 716 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 11: Oh. 717 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 14: I think it's about prioritization, and you know, it's making 718 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 14: sure that this is front and mind of not just 719 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 14: ordering a tamariki, but all government agencies that have a 720 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 14: role to play. And it is really disappointing that we've 721 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,360 Speaker 14: not seen the progress. You know, only two of the 722 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 14: recommendations that Dame Karen made had been implemented by the 723 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 14: time we finished this report. 724 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 2: The old argument that you don't pull league kids out 725 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 2: of the families enough and get them out and away, 726 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 2: and that's highly political, moral, social, racial, the whole thing. 727 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:03,840 Speaker 2: Is there something in that or not. 728 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 14: Look, a child protection agency has to remove kids when 729 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 14: they are in harm's way and when that's the right 730 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 14: thing to do. But at the end of the day, 731 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 14: kids generally they want to be with their parents. They 732 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 14: just want the harm to stop, and there's an important 733 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,320 Speaker 14: role to play about how we prevent an intervene early. 734 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 14: You know, this is the investment approach, Mike, that you're 735 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 14: here to actually help and prevent things escalating and then 736 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 14: ultimately harm happening to kids. And that's what we're talking 737 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 14: about in this report is how can we invest in 738 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 14: community agencies who can do that intervention and prevention work 739 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 14: so that they don't come to the attention of adding 740 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 14: a tamariki in the first place. 741 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,359 Speaker 2: Aaron, appreciate your time. Aaron Jones, have we heard that before? 742 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 2: Or have we heard that before? Thirteen minutes past seven, 743 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 2: ask at great watching Parliament television yesterday, actually seeing the 744 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 2: Prime Minister firing back at Hipkins and pointing out what 745 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 2: he did the economy in response to his line of 746 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 2: questioning around the cost of living. Sam couldn't agree with 747 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,919 Speaker 2: you more. I don't get Luxeon. I watch Question Time 748 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 2: every day. Sometimes I look at luxon yesterday was an example, 749 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 2: and that's why you pointed out. I thought, man's on fire, 750 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,360 Speaker 2: he's got an argument, he's set to go. It's election, 751 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 2: you give it to him. And other days he looks 752 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 2: like he's had the wind taken out of the sales. 753 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 2: He doesn't know what he's saying, he's babbling around. So 754 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 2: it's sort of two Luxn's and I just don't know 755 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 2: what's happening with him. He's not a consistent performer as 756 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 2: this problem. I mean, this is advice is free, by 757 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 2: the way, but you've got to I've said it a 758 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 2: million times. You've got to use if you're the Prime minister, 759 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 2: you use question line, question time as your domain. You've 760 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 2: got the floor. The country is listening to you. You 761 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 2: tell the story. I forget the question the questions irrelevant. 762 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 2: Start telling people what's going on. That's the beauty of 763 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,359 Speaker 2: question time. And and doing that, you're doing two things, one 764 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 2: educating the country and two bolstering your troops. And that's 765 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:47,239 Speaker 2: the value of question Time. 766 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 1: Fourteen past the Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio. 767 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: Howard By News talks at b. 768 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,360 Speaker 2: By kentson the Country.

Seventeen past. 771 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 2: Part of the aforementioned problem a moment ago that we 772 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 2: were talking about and kids being bashed and stuff. Is 773 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 2: it cause drug abuse? As it turns out, we've got 774 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 2: a new data and the Drug Detection Agency. This is 775 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 2: for Q four of the last year. What's going on 776 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 2: in the workplace? Well, cocaine positives are up one hundred 777 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 2: and forty eight percent, Thank you very much. Love the 778 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 2: cocaine and fetamine type substances love those as well are 779 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,799 Speaker 2: present in twenty four point five percent of positive test. 780 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 2: Lean Dobson Drug Detection Agency bosses back with us, Glenn, 781 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:28,359 Speaker 2: good morning to you. 782 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 8: Yeah, good morning, Mike. 783 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 2: Your business is booming. 784 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 8: I'm assuming, Oh, look, our business is around to get 785 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 8: this information out there and keep them workplaces safe. And 786 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 8: this just reinforces that there's still a lot of drugs 787 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,880 Speaker 8: out there. The trends are changing, I guess regionally, and 788 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 8: we want to go on top there and keep their 789 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 8: message out there so employers can make some risk assessments. 790 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:49,799 Speaker 2: What sort of businesses are these? 791 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,799 Speaker 8: Generally workplace drug test centers what we call safety center 792 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:59,400 Speaker 8: of industries. You know, things where machinery where dangerous activities 793 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,399 Speaker 8: are happening and if you're affected by drugs, you could 794 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 8: hurt yourself with somebody else. But what we are also 795 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 8: seeing is there's a growing trends globally in the workplace 796 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,840 Speaker 8: drug testing industry where the white collar and professional services 797 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,279 Speaker 8: are also stand at drug tests as well. 798 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 2: So are we outliers in our drug use or as 799 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:16,839 Speaker 2: the whole world on this stuff. 800 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,760 Speaker 8: Globally? The whole world's definitely on the stuff. What changes 801 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 8: around the world is the type of drug be using. 802 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 8: The huge increase in the percente of coke that we're 803 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 8: seeing from this Q four report is really an outlier. 804 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,839 Speaker 8: We're also seeing that fine enough in Australia as well. 805 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 8: So Australasia is seen from the cartail market. I guess 806 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,360 Speaker 8: as a target we pay a lot of money for 807 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 8: our drugs down here. We obviously like our drugs and 808 00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,279 Speaker 8: the cartails like to make money from us. 809 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 2: So if you went into wider businesses away from safety 810 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:53,360 Speaker 2: and just to any general office, would that same stats 811 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 2: or stats be reflected. 812 00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:57,200 Speaker 15: Yeah. 813 00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,360 Speaker 8: Look, this is a snapshot of society. Obviously, this is 814 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,879 Speaker 8: a snaps of workplaces and a specific type of work 815 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 8: based genera in society. But look right across the board, 816 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:07,759 Speaker 8: if you look at the Waistwader stats as well that 817 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 8: we've seen that come out of the National Drug Intelligence Bureau, 818 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,279 Speaker 8: they're all pointed of the same thing. We've got a 819 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 8: really strong use based from ffnomen across the country and 820 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 8: now we stand here really increasing coke as well, which 821 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,239 Speaker 8: is as a royal concern for us. 822 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,880 Speaker 2: No kidding, Glenn, nice to talk to you again, Glenn Dobson. 823 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,279 Speaker 2: What cost of living christis I mean, yeah, come on, 824 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 2: you've got the money for the coke and you complain 825 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 2: about the price of butter. Get real, Mike shock horror. 826 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 2: With house prices remaining flat and not leading a recovery 827 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,280 Speaker 2: based on lack of supply, how will this affect labour's 828 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,279 Speaker 2: plans for a CGT? Good question. Two things there. One, 829 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,800 Speaker 2: there's not a lack of supply. What there is is 830 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 2: a lack of demand. Lack of demand based on the 831 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 2: fact no one's coming into the country and they built 832 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,359 Speaker 2: a whole lot of houses in the last couple of years. 833 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,960 Speaker 2: But the CGT questions very good. Read the IMF report 834 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 2: into Australia and their economy. They recommend the CGT being 835 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,200 Speaker 2: a real problem. Their line was simple, the more you 836 00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:00,160 Speaker 2: tax something, the less of it you have. So when 837 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,480 Speaker 2: you start taxing houses, the less of them you have. 838 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,719 Speaker 2: And if you have less houses or fewer houses, guess 839 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 2: what happens to the price seven. 840 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:14,160 Speaker 1: The mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, How 841 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 1: It by News Talks eb. 842 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 2: When you're looking to invest that hard earned money you want, 843 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 2: what do you want?

They're 849 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 2: proudly keeping their profits right here in the country, which 850 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,920 Speaker 2: we love now.

There was your headline two and a half 867 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,840 Speaker 2: thousand job applications. That's got clickbait written all over it, 868 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,680 Speaker 2: doesn't it? One job two and a half thousand applications, 869 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:36,600 Speaker 2: One headline added? In fact, company boss shocked OPO is 870 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,399 Speaker 2: your company, and in the story their job they're looking 871 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,560 Speaker 2: for is well, there's actually some good news in the 872 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 2: story if you actually read it, mainly that the job 873 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 2: is here not long ago it wasn't. It's a call 874 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 2: center job, and the call center has been relocated back 875 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,080 Speaker 2: to New Zealand, which is one of those weird job things. 876 00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,480 Speaker 2: I thought we went through this years ago when it 877 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,879 Speaker 2: was broadly accepted that call center's offshore did save you money. Yes, 878 00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:58,960 Speaker 2: but language and actual help on the phone generally was 879 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,760 Speaker 2: so bad they gave up. Anyway, They must have advertised 880 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,279 Speaker 2: the job globally through international sites, because, as it turns out, 881 00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 2: only forty four percent of the applicants were actually from 882 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 2: New Zealand, So two and a half thousand suddenly becomes 883 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,359 Speaker 2: a pretty misleading number, doesn't it. Forty four percent still 884 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,560 Speaker 2: a lot of applicants, of course, But here's the other 885 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,040 Speaker 2: thing you will have learned in this type job market 886 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 2: of late, a lot of people apply for literally everything, 887 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,480 Speaker 2: whether they want it, can do it or not. They apply, 888 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,319 Speaker 2: they waste people's time, they're not genuine applicants, and they're 889 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,840 Speaker 2: a nightmare for HR. Now, just for the record, this 890 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,759 Speaker 2: is not to say jobs aren't tight. We all know 891 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,600 Speaker 2: they are. But the inference in these stories is that 892 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:37,319 Speaker 2: times are desperate and they're not. Jobs are available if 893 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 2: you're determined, which is the next point. Those who have 894 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,680 Speaker 2: dealt with call centers, and that's most of us don't 895 00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,719 Speaker 2: get what you would loosely call a world class experience, 896 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,719 Speaker 2: do we. I mean, like a lot of jobs that 897 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:50,640 Speaker 2: are front facing in this country these days, they are 898 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:54,840 Speaker 2: filled with how do we put it nicely, gormless people, 899 00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,799 Speaker 2: people who have bad attitudes, don't want to help, don't 900 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,239 Speaker 2: know how to help, don't know what you're asking, don't 901 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,279 Speaker 2: have answers, are not empowered to basically do anything. A 902 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,719 Speaker 2: lot of useless people have work. Have you noticed this? 903 00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,479 Speaker 2: A lot of useless people have jobs. It's a frightening fact. 904 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:13,000 Speaker 2: Are all the people without work better than the useless 905 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:17,360 Speaker 2: ones with work? Or are they even worse? Also, tragically, 906 00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,359 Speaker 2: that many applications for a low skilled job tells you 907 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,719 Speaker 2: the decay of our economy. Sadly, too many people with 908 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,160 Speaker 2: too little to offer. Answering a phone is not a 909 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,839 Speaker 2: career path. So what do we end up with? Two 910 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 2: five hundred applications? And shock see like too many stories, 911 00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,719 Speaker 2: not the real story, pasking Mike Blood the reference to 912 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,719 Speaker 2: Noki're on the farm. So much more we can do 913 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,600 Speaker 2: to improve quality and scale to achieve a higher volume 914 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,160 Speaker 2: of exports at the top dollars. That's Andrew who is 915 00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:49,200 Speaker 2: the Nokia country manager. Belieguer. Mike saw a T fifty 916 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 2: Gordon Murray designed hypergar with foreign plates parked outside the 917 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:55,719 Speaker 2: interconte in Wellington yesterday, not something you see every day. Well, 918 00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:57,680 Speaker 2: what a joy it was? What a thrill for you 919 00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:00,799 Speaker 2: because the T fifty Gordon Murray. By the way, you 920 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:02,879 Speaker 2: say V twelve six hundred and sixty break horse power, 921 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,239 Speaker 2: you are right, reps to twelve thousand, you are right. 922 00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 2: Cosworth Engine of course, six speed manual. Do you know 923 00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 2: how many of the T fifty Gordon Murray's were made? 924 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,920 Speaker 2: I think it was about one hundred, so one hundred 925 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,120 Speaker 2: were ever made, and one of them was outside the 926 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 2: Continental and Wellington yesterday and you saw it. That is 927 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:23,320 Speaker 2: a thrill. It's like warbirds over Wanaka, except for cars. 928 00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,279 Speaker 16: It's still called Gordon though, isn't it. 929 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, But if you met Gordon Murray though, you know 930 00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,680 Speaker 2: he's a genius. Now we've got the Reserve Bank governor. 931 00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 2: Interesting commentary. Some people disagree with it already. How reel's 932 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,360 Speaker 2: the recovery? Does it take off? When are the hikes coming? 933 00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,719 Speaker 2: There's debate around all of that and more so. We'll 934 00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:44,759 Speaker 2: talk to the Reserve Bank governor after the news. Which 935 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 2: is next?

I think New Zealanders 955 00:45:56,120 --> 00:46:00,800 Speaker 15: are underestimating actually the potential going forward. In the news economy, 956 00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:06,400 Speaker 15: we're already seeing some sectors doing really well. Agriculture, manufacturing 957 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,200 Speaker 15: is starting going and I do expect this to broaden 958 00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:12,760 Speaker 15: in this year. So I'm very positive. 959 00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:16,120 Speaker 2: The level of confidence with which you delivered your comments yesterday. 960 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,279 Speaker 2: How confident are you that you are right? 961 00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,680 Speaker 15: Well, of course I'm confident, but you know, we have 962 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:26,879 Speaker 15: a very uncertain global environment, so I think the key 963 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,680 Speaker 15: thing is to always be very vigilant and look around 964 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,360 Speaker 15: what's happening and seeing how that will affect New Zealand 965 00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 15: going forward. So I'm confident that you know the potential 966 00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:37,719 Speaker 15: is there, but there's always the risk there will be 967 00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 15: some global shock that will hit the New Zealand economy. Again, 968 00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:42,919 Speaker 15: unfortunately that is the case. 969 00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,480 Speaker 2: Let me quote your Tony Alexander, well known economist in 970 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,360 Speaker 2: this part of the world. This tells us that despite 971 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,920 Speaker 2: underestimating inflation by zero point four percent, the committee is 972 00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,440 Speaker 2: probably still in the same mindset that has prevailed in 973 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,839 Speaker 2: recent decades. That is tight and too late and too 974 00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,920 Speaker 2: much then after that is too late, and feel encouraged 975 00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:05,200 Speaker 2: to ease too much. If he's wrong, what makes you right, well, what. 976 00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:08,279 Speaker 15: Makes me right is that we will adjust according to 977 00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,719 Speaker 15: how we see the economy evolving. So, you know, we 978 00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:15,000 Speaker 15: do a really careful assessment of what's happening in the economy. 979 00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,399 Speaker 15: We see we're in early stages of the recovery, we 980 00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,640 Speaker 15: expect inflation to fall, and if we see that things 981 00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:24,520 Speaker 15: evolve differently, we will act. So, you know, it is 982 00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:27,960 Speaker 15: a difficult thing to do forecasting, it always is, but 983 00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,400 Speaker 15: we will adjust to ensure that we reached the inflation target. 984 00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,640 Speaker 15: Because inflation has been too high for too long. Households 985 00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,160 Speaker 15: have been suffering. So we do need to see inflation 986 00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,839 Speaker 15: coming down now because that's when household we get their 987 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:43,040 Speaker 15: purchasing power back, and that will boost the growth, It 988 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,640 Speaker 15: will boost the labor market, so you know, we are 989 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,799 Speaker 15: really focused on getting inflation down, are you. 990 00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:50,839 Speaker 2: The reason I asked that question is, of course we've 991 00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,880 Speaker 2: been here before and we've lived through it, and what 992 00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,120 Speaker 2: he says is technically correct. And when you say you 993 00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,400 Speaker 2: were just yes, you do. But he's suggesting you werejust 994 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:00,600 Speaker 2: too late. Now you're new, but the people on your 995 00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:02,960 Speaker 2: committee are not. They're the ones who made the mistakes. 996 00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:04,560 Speaker 2: How confident in that committee are you? 997 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,920 Speaker 15: Well, I'm very confident in the committee, and i'm you know, 998 00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:14,400 Speaker 15: I'm we are going to ensure that we get inflation 999 00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,239 Speaker 15: back to target, and we are looking very carefully at 1000 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,319 Speaker 15: the data, so you know, it's always a difficult thing 1001 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:22,880 Speaker 15: at the moment and know where the economy is heading. 1002 00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,640 Speaker 15: And afterwards it might look like, oh, it was obvious 1003 00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,960 Speaker 15: you should have done this, But we're living in a 1004 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:32,080 Speaker 15: situation where where there are lots of global shocks that 1005 00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:35,560 Speaker 15: are constantly hitting the New Zealand economy and we are 1006 00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:39,560 Speaker 15: looking for those and focusing on ensuring that inflation gets 1007 00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:41,960 Speaker 15: back to a low and stable level and then stays 1008 00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 15: at the low and stable level. 1009 00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:44,200 Speaker 14: And we have good people. 1010 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:46,919 Speaker 2: What makes you so confident on inflation because what we've 1011 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:48,800 Speaker 2: also lived through in the last couple of years. Mainly 1012 00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:52,200 Speaker 2: it's power, it's right, its insurance, which is it's us, 1013 00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,080 Speaker 2: it's here, and it's cost plus accounting. And I don't 1014 00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 2: see the end of that, and you somehow do what 1015 00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:58,600 Speaker 2: are you seeing that I don't? 1016 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,520 Speaker 15: Well, I do. I mean, we do see now that 1017 00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,480 Speaker 15: insurance costs, for example, have come down. Food prices is 1018 00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,400 Speaker 15: a big issue because we saw in some preliminary data 1019 00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:11,319 Speaker 15: from January that food prices were going up again. If 1020 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,720 Speaker 15: you look at global food prices, they have actually been falling. 1021 00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:18,200 Speaker 15: So if you look throughout this year, you know, we 1022 00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,680 Speaker 15: do expect food price growth to not increase as much 1023 00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,040 Speaker 15: as it has in previous years. But it is a 1024 00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,480 Speaker 15: problem because these are necessities. So these are things that 1025 00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,919 Speaker 15: households have to buy, and when those prices are high, 1026 00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:33,160 Speaker 15: it makes it that crowds out other types of consumption, 1027 00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,680 Speaker 15: so then you know the demand is really weak. So 1028 00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:38,640 Speaker 15: and that's actually what we're seeing in the data. If 1029 00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:41,440 Speaker 15: you look at other prices, they are not so high, 1030 00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:46,440 Speaker 15: but you have these prices like food prices insurance that 1031 00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,200 Speaker 15: I have have been really high, and that is a 1032 00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,640 Speaker 15: that is the tricky issue. For us, it is when 1033 00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:53,359 Speaker 15: it does crowd out other consumers. 1034 00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,400 Speaker 2: Which flies into the psychology of the recovery. And this 1035 00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,879 Speaker 2: is what worries me. Uh, we're desperate for recovery. We're 1036 00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:01,440 Speaker 2: desperate for people to space and to feel good about 1037 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,880 Speaker 2: themselves by saying what you said yesterday, and we start 1038 00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,239 Speaker 2: to talk about things like interest rate rises before the 1039 00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:09,719 Speaker 2: end of the year, Do you worry that we're so 1040 00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:14,200 Speaker 2: psychologically fragile will freeze now? 1041 00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,239 Speaker 15: Not because I think that also, you know, after this 1042 00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,200 Speaker 15: year that's been really hard on many households, I do 1043 00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:23,880 Speaker 15: think that there is a need to increase consumption. So 1044 00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,520 Speaker 15: when houses start seeing that the labor market is actually 1045 00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:30,840 Speaker 15: improvement improving, and you know, we actually see employment growth now, 1046 00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:34,040 Speaker 15: so unemployment is still held high, but more people are 1047 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:37,920 Speaker 15: entering the labor market, so there is actually employment growth now, 1048 00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,440 Speaker 15: and people start seeing that getting a little bit easier 1049 00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,400 Speaker 15: to get a new job, you know, inflation forces a 1050 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,640 Speaker 15: little bit more and the purchasing power comes back, then 1051 00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:50,320 Speaker 15: I think we will actually see some more positive consumption growth. 1052 00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,080 Speaker 15: But it is one of the risks that we're saying. 1053 00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:55,040 Speaker 15: We are concerned that household spending is still weak and 1054 00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:56,960 Speaker 15: that's the reason why we also think is going to 1055 00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,759 Speaker 15: be hard for firms to high prices, and that's why 1056 00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:01,760 Speaker 15: we say, I think that inflation will fall further. 1057 00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:03,239 Speaker 14: So it does. 1058 00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:05,799 Speaker 15: It does make sense to us. 1059 00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,600 Speaker 2: But playing in it's been tough. Of course it has, 1060 00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:10,640 Speaker 2: of course it has. But here's the difficult what's to 1061 00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,319 Speaker 2: say about our capacity is an economy? If suddenly we 1062 00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,840 Speaker 2: start to grow this year a bit and then you 1063 00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:18,080 Speaker 2: know what about October, November, December, you go and hike 1064 00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,120 Speaker 2: the rights, we go hold on? Is that that's as 1065 00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:21,040 Speaker 2: good as it was? 1066 00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:21,239 Speaker 6: Was it? 1067 00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:25,920 Speaker 2: That's our capacity? We lack capacity, don't we. 1068 00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,279 Speaker 15: Well, we actually think there's quite a lot of what 1069 00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,799 Speaker 15: we call spare capacity in the economy. So we think 1070 00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:34,400 Speaker 15: that the economy can grow at a higher pace without 1071 00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:39,160 Speaker 15: causing so much inflationary pressures because there is still high unemployment. 1072 00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:43,400 Speaker 15: Firms can increase, you know, manufacturing without how they're starting 1073 00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,719 Speaker 15: to invest actually, which is also really good to see. 1074 00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,560 Speaker 15: So we do think there is spare capacity, and I 1075 00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:52,320 Speaker 15: you know, people, there is a lot of good potential 1076 00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,439 Speaker 15: in this economy. People should be a bit more optimistic, all. 1077 00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,879 Speaker 2: Right, We'll take that advice onboard. Appreciate Anna Breman, Doctor 1078 00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:00,279 Speaker 2: Randa Breman, Who is the Reserve Bank gun? What do 1079 00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:01,719 Speaker 2: you make of a sixteen too? 1080 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:07,160 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1081 00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:08,239 Speaker 1: by News Talks. 1082 00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:10,840 Speaker 2: At be Mike. The difference is chalk and cheese compared 1083 00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:12,680 Speaker 2: with the previous governor of the Reserve Bank. Thank you, 1084 00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:16,000 Speaker 2: Daryl Cavity Council's forecast seven percent Mike rate increases for 1085 00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:18,000 Speaker 2: the next nine years. No spere cash at my house. 1086 00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:20,920 Speaker 2: She just said insurance has come down. It hasn't. People 1087 00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:23,640 Speaker 2: are insuring less due to costs insurance prices having come down. 1088 00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,480 Speaker 2: My god, more fancy. She will be looking at the 1089 00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,680 Speaker 2: bank looks at a lot of insurance, not just you're 1090 00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,600 Speaker 2: and you're right. The numbers came out this week. In 1091 00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:35,080 Speaker 2: Auckland it's down for domestic insurance that's houses, stuff like that. 1092 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:38,000 Speaker 2: That's come down eleven percent. In Wellington it's gone up. 1093 00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,880 Speaker 2: Christ Church it's gone up. She'll be looking at bigger 1094 00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:44,960 Speaker 2: insurance pictures, you know, business and reinsurance and all that 1095 00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,120 Speaker 2: sort of stuff. My concern of the reason I raised it, 1096 00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,480 Speaker 2: and Tony Alexander writing in one roof was very wise 1097 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,440 Speaker 2: to raise it, and that is that the consume we 1098 00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:54,000 Speaker 2: always had with Adrian Or was he was out of 1099 00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:55,799 Speaker 2: touch with the real world. So, if you haven't followed 1100 00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:59,120 Speaker 2: this closely enough, Tony Alexander brad Olsen are basically saying 1101 00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:03,680 Speaker 2: the same thing what the Reserve Bank are saying may 1102 00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,040 Speaker 2: not if you listen to Tony and Bradon believe them, 1103 00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:09,000 Speaker 2: may not be what's actually happening in the economy. And 1104 00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:12,200 Speaker 2: so what these guys get spreadsheets bits of paper, They 1105 00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:14,080 Speaker 2: sit in a room and they sort of analyze it 1106 00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,919 Speaker 2: because they're wonts meantime out here in the real world 1107 00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,080 Speaker 2: there's a different story being told. And we've said that 1108 00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:21,160 Speaker 2: a million times with Adrian Or and that's why I 1109 00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:24,120 Speaker 2: cocked it up so badly. My concern. She seems like 1110 00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:27,319 Speaker 2: very likable person, but be that as it may. She's 1111 00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:30,080 Speaker 2: come from the outside in. She doesn't understand the New 1112 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:33,920 Speaker 2: Zealand economy. Yet she can't because she hasn't lived in it. 1113 00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:35,560 Speaker 2: You've got to live in an economy you can't. You 1114 00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:37,279 Speaker 2: can look at all the spreadsheets till you blue in 1115 00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:41,040 Speaker 2: the face, you can fill your brain with numbers until 1116 00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:43,600 Speaker 2: you fall asleep, but until you've lived it, breathed it 1117 00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,799 Speaker 2: and vibe it, you can't really know it. And that 1118 00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:51,080 Speaker 2: was always Adrian's problem. Now my concern. She's outside looking in. Yes, 1119 00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:52,759 Speaker 2: she'll be learning, and she may well be bright and 1120 00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:54,440 Speaker 2: well qualified and all that sort of stuff. But she 1121 00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:56,640 Speaker 2: turns to a left and the silk's there. She turns 1122 00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:58,719 Speaker 2: to a right, mister Conway's there. And they were there 1123 00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,040 Speaker 2: last time as well, the ones who cocked it up 1124 00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:05,360 Speaker 2: as well. So is she sitting there going new clowns? 1125 00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:07,759 Speaker 2: Don't know what you're doing? Or does she believe in 1126 00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:11,600 Speaker 2: what they're saying? And so it worries me that there's 1127 00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:13,920 Speaker 2: only one new person in the room, is what I'm 1128 00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:15,440 Speaker 2: trying to tell you. More good news. You want more 1129 00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:18,719 Speaker 2: good news. Car sales for January up. So it's been 1130 00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:22,200 Speaker 2: a weird January in certain areas, but in this it's good. 1131 00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,080 Speaker 2: So we had the job numbers earlier on healthy opening 1132 00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:27,640 Speaker 2: for the year eight point nine percent, increasing the number 1133 00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:30,440 Speaker 2: of new car sales for January eleven. Eight hundred and 1134 00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:34,480 Speaker 2: six of them were registered in January higher rental registration. 1135 00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:37,120 Speaker 2: That's directly off the back of the tourism industry. Of course, 1136 00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:41,239 Speaker 2: steady business demand. So we'll take all of that in 1137 00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:42,920 Speaker 2: bank it thank you very much, tender. 1138 00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:47,560 Speaker 1: Way, the Mike Hosking Breakfast with a Vita Retirement, Communities 1139 00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:48,480 Speaker 1: News togs Head be. 1140 00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:50,919 Speaker 2: Now poll out this morning, which I'll spend no time 1141 00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:53,560 Speaker 2: on because it's as wrong as any other pole. It's 1142 00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:57,080 Speaker 2: a post freshwater pole. Labors on thirty seven, Labors on 1143 00:54:57,080 --> 00:55:00,759 Speaker 2: thirty seven, so we've had of one, two, three, four, 1144 00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,799 Speaker 2: five poles. Now all the polls show the government being 1145 00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:06,719 Speaker 2: elected by one which has a hung government. But just 1146 00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:08,520 Speaker 2: let me run you through the labour number depending on 1147 00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:10,640 Speaker 2: what pole, because they've all come out recently. Labor as 1148 00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:14,480 Speaker 2: though on thirty five, thirty four, thirty thirty two or 1149 00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:17,920 Speaker 2: thirty seven, so thirty or thirty seven, See what I mean. 1150 00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,560 Speaker 2: It's a complete and utter waste of time, which is 1151 00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,680 Speaker 2: why Gallop in America have announced they will stop tracking 1152 00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:30,080 Speaker 2: presidential approval ratings after nearly ninety years declining response rate 1153 00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:34,200 Speaker 2: structural pressures inside the polling industry. Those pressures are not temporary, 1154 00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:37,640 Speaker 2: they're systemic. They've been building for years. Anyone who works 1155 00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:40,760 Speaker 2: in political measurement understands this. The old model is straining 1156 00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:44,240 Speaker 2: under modern conditions. In the seventies, telephone surveys routinely produced 1157 00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:49,280 Speaker 2: response rates of about thirty percent. Today, according to Pure Research, 1158 00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:55,759 Speaker 2: it's six six percent. Respond to poles, We're asking a 1159 00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:58,439 Speaker 2: shrinking slice of Americans to represent three hundred and thirty 1160 00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:01,279 Speaker 2: million people. Worse, that's lices is not random, and here's 1161 00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:03,719 Speaker 2: where we really need to worry. So an article in 1162 00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:07,480 Speaker 2: the Public Opinion Quarterly examined partisan non response bias in 1163 00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:11,440 Speaker 2: modern election polling found that differential response by partisans can 1164 00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:18,800 Speaker 2: introduce measurable distortion even after standard waiting adjustments. Then comes 1165 00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:22,120 Speaker 2: in the University of Michigan, who say, when the probability 1166 00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:26,480 Speaker 2: of responding is correlated with political attitudes themselves, traditional waiting 1167 00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,359 Speaker 2: approaches struggle to fully correct the imbalance. So, in other words, 1168 00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:32,800 Speaker 2: the poles are bias. This is not a temporary technical hiccup, 1169 00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:37,680 Speaker 2: but a structural fugility. Do you approve or disapprove of 1170 00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:40,319 Speaker 2: the job the president is doing? So we ask the 1171 00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,520 Speaker 2: same question as the country on the right or wrong track? 1172 00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:46,160 Speaker 2: Do you like luxon or do you like hipkins the world? 1173 00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:51,839 Speaker 2: That world, they say, no longer exists. Partisan identity now 1174 00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:56,719 Speaker 2: functions as social identity, shaping emotional reactions and group behavior. 1175 00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:01,200 Speaker 2: Isn't that true? Opinion now moves like a market. We 1176 00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:05,080 Speaker 2: live inside a feedback loop. So in other words, we 1177 00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:07,880 Speaker 2: are literally wasting our time now. These things, as I've 1178 00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:10,000 Speaker 2: said a million times on the program, costs a lot 1179 00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:12,719 Speaker 2: of money. And as a business, if you want to 1180 00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,000 Speaker 2: spend money polling people and getting some broad idea of 1181 00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,760 Speaker 2: what's going on, fine do it. I don't care. But 1182 00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:19,600 Speaker 2: the political thing, and this is where I think I 1183 00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:23,080 Speaker 2: probably end up agreeing with Winston Peters. You've got to 1184 00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:27,320 Speaker 2: accept that polling now is so ropey, it's basically pointless. 1185 00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:32,160 Speaker 2: And therefore if you then interjected into an election campaign, 1186 00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:34,320 Speaker 2: because what happens is there is no question. If I 1187 00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:37,120 Speaker 2: tell you this morning that labor on this post pole 1188 00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:39,480 Speaker 2: is thirty seven percent, if you're a labor's forty, go yeah, 1189 00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:41,240 Speaker 2: who we're going to win the election? You are not 1190 00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,439 Speaker 2: because they're not on thirty seven percent. The same way 1191 00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,040 Speaker 2: when Mikey Sherman yesterday of the day before whenever it 1192 00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:50,720 Speaker 2: was interviewed the Greens and said you Greens are down 1193 00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,400 Speaker 2: for and then you're up for? What's up with you Greens? 1194 00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,480 Speaker 2: She clearly doesn't understand polling either. The Greens are not 1195 00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:59,880 Speaker 2: down for and they're not up for. They're probably unmoved 1196 00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:03,400 Speaker 2: because that's just the fragility of the polling. And four 1197 00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:07,040 Speaker 2: percent in the Greens case is well outside the margin 1198 00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:09,400 Speaker 2: of error. And that's before you get to the fact 1199 00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:12,080 Speaker 2: that in an MMP environment in New Zealand, the center 1200 00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:14,200 Speaker 2: left set to right blocks all account. There's an article 1201 00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:17,520 Speaker 2: and stuff they're trying to run their little agenda this 1202 00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:19,840 Speaker 2: morning saying that Nationals losing traction or not able to 1203 00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:22,600 Speaker 2: gain traction, doesn't matter. It's center left set to right. 1204 00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,120 Speaker 2: If National loses something to New Zealand First or to 1205 00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:27,200 Speaker 2: act doesn't matter. The overall number stays the same. And 1206 00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:29,120 Speaker 2: that's why if you look if you want to collect 1207 00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:31,760 Speaker 2: all the numbers up together, which is I suppose the 1208 00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:33,160 Speaker 2: only way to look at poles, if you get four 1209 00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:34,720 Speaker 2: or five or six of them and get a rough 1210 00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:37,640 Speaker 2: estimate roughly down the middle, and roughly what it says 1211 00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:41,280 Speaker 2: is that the government gets re elected. But you didn't 1212 00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:42,520 Speaker 2: go down for it, and you didn't go up for 1213 00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:46,200 Speaker 2: why because things don't happen that way. You don't wake 1214 00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:48,480 Speaker 2: up that vast ways of New Zealanders don't wake up 1215 00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:50,320 Speaker 2: one morning go you know I hate the greens now, 1216 00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:52,400 Speaker 2: Oh no, I don't I suddenly love the greens on 1217 00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:54,840 Speaker 2: It doesn't happen that way. That's not how humans operate. 1218 00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:58,320 Speaker 2: But because you're dealing with such a small slice of 1219 00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:01,000 Speaker 2: the population now, is gallop right quite rightly has worked 1220 00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:06,320 Speaker 2: out after ninety years, It's basically a futile exercise. Corey Kent, 1221 00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,320 Speaker 2: let's meet him and talk comes to music after the news, 1222 00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:11,280 Speaker 2: which is next your news talks?

Funnily enough, may I take it? You 1248 01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:26,600 Speaker 2: know the name Paul Simon. He married Edibrook Hill and 1249 01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:31,080 Speaker 2: Paul Simon lived in upstate New York for Montalk for years. Yep, 1250 01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:34,040 Speaker 2: and I noticed just moved to Texas because she's. 1251 01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:34,800 Speaker 10: Down in the hill country. 1252 01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,600 Speaker 17: That's what happens from And you know what's crazy is 1253 01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:40,840 Speaker 17: I have a friend named Kevin Fowler who is on 1254 01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:44,720 Speaker 17: the same management. He's a Texas country legend, like Texas 1255 01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:48,640 Speaker 17: has its own sub genre of country music. And Kevin 1256 01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:52,200 Speaker 17: sold Paul Simon his ranch. So Kevin has this crazy. 1257 01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:55,960 Speaker 17: I mean, it's it's wild. So what Kevin did and 1258 01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:58,880 Speaker 17: I had a podcast for a while where I would 1259 01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:00,760 Speaker 17: just basically bring my friend end on and we would 1260 01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:04,800 Speaker 17: just have normal conversations like we would, but somebody put 1261 01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:06,280 Speaker 17: a mic in front of us and filmed it. You know, 1262 01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:09,120 Speaker 17: that was the only difference. And so I was talking 1263 01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:12,520 Speaker 17: to Kevin about obviously, you know, him selling this ranch 1264 01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:15,960 Speaker 17: to Paul Simon, and he was telling me that they they. 1265 01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:16,680 Speaker 10: Found a way. 1266 01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:21,560 Speaker 17: They bought the oldest barn in Texas, like the oldest structure, 1267 01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:24,480 Speaker 17: and they found a way to float it down the 1268 01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:26,960 Speaker 17: river to this new property. 1269 01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:28,160 Speaker 2: Was that the one he records? 1270 01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:32,040 Speaker 17: I believe, so I don't know for fact, but they 1271 01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,240 Speaker 17: found a way to float this barn down the river 1272 01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:36,280 Speaker 17: and put it on this property, and that ended up 1273 01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:39,520 Speaker 17: being the property that Paul Simon bought. And uh yeah, 1274 01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:42,400 Speaker 17: just crazy, but yeah, that's what happens. You married a Texan, 1275 01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:43,440 Speaker 17: you you pretty much. 1276 01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:47,280 Speaker 2: Coming up with some random pull Simon story and you 1277 01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:49,880 Speaker 2: know the guy who sold the I mean, come on, 1278 01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:54,440 Speaker 2: I mean was that twenty million? Well speaking of his people, 1279 01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:57,240 Speaker 2: the Willie Nilson story, Yeah, how old were you? 1280 01:01:57,920 --> 01:01:59,920 Speaker 10: I would have been in sixteen doing. 1281 01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:01,560 Speaker 2: Well, just standingly watching Willie Nilson. 1282 01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:04,600 Speaker 17: Well, yeah, there's a long backstory to it. I grew 1283 01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:09,919 Speaker 17: up playing Western swing music in the Tulsa area, which 1284 01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:13,800 Speaker 17: is like the northeast corner of Oklahoma. There's really nothing there, 1285 01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:18,280 Speaker 17: but it has a rich history of Western swing music 1286 01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,280 Speaker 17: and a couple of really key venues there that are 1287 01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:24,640 Speaker 17: that are just you know, revered. But I ended up 1288 01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:27,080 Speaker 17: coming up in that. In that world, it sounds like 1289 01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:29,720 Speaker 17: I was some sort of child prodigy, and I wasn't. 1290 01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:33,080 Speaker 17: I promise you, I was no more talented than the 1291 01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:36,240 Speaker 17: next kid. But I got this opportunity to be a 1292 01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:39,160 Speaker 17: part of a Western swing band that was like ages 1293 01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:43,920 Speaker 17: eleven to fifteen, and all I wanted to do was, 1294 01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:47,000 Speaker 17: you know, get stage time and performed. 1295 01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:49,040 Speaker 10: So this was the way I could do that. 1296 01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:51,480 Speaker 17: I didn't really know anything about that type of music, 1297 01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:53,520 Speaker 17: but we had some hall of famers that took us 1298 01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:55,880 Speaker 17: under our under their wing and taught us about the 1299 01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:58,200 Speaker 17: heritage of this music, and then they put us on 1300 01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:00,680 Speaker 17: stage and then at the end, you know, if we 1301 01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:03,240 Speaker 17: sold enough tickets, we get some money.

I mean, 1315 01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:41,800 Speaker 17: you're gonna hear two hour spiel about why Willie Nelson 1316 01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:44,680 Speaker 17: is the best of all time. And so you know, 1317 01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:47,560 Speaker 17: I've heard this for years growing up. Obviously I know 1318 01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:50,480 Speaker 17: his music. I know he's a living legend, and I 1319 01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:53,480 Speaker 17: was like, I need to go see him before I 1320 01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:55,720 Speaker 17: can't see him right, Like, who knows when he's gonna 1321 01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:57,919 Speaker 17: hang this up? Little did I know he'd be going 1322 01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:00,080 Speaker 17: for like twenty more years, still doing it. 1323 01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:01,920 Speaker 10: But I scalped a ticket. 1324 01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:05,360 Speaker 17: The concert started, there was a guy outside, I got 1325 01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:10,560 Speaker 17: a cheap ticket, walked in. I just always had this 1326 01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:12,560 Speaker 17: feeling every time I was at a show. I couldn't 1327 01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,280 Speaker 17: enjoy the show because I wanted to be up there 1328 01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:17,080 Speaker 17: I was like, what would I do if I got 1329 01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:19,080 Speaker 17: the chance to be up there? And would I be ready? 1330 01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:21,280 Speaker 17: And what would I sing? And what would I you know, 1331 01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:23,360 Speaker 17: how would I carry myself? And I was just always 1332 01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:26,320 Speaker 17: thinking these thoughts, and this night felt different, and so 1333 01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:29,800 Speaker 17: it just felt like that might actually happen. So I 1334 01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:33,360 Speaker 17: went to the concession stand. I asked this sweet lady 1335 01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:35,960 Speaker 17: for a piece of cardboard. She pulled something out of 1336 01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:38,640 Speaker 17: the dumpster. I was like, you have a marker or something, 1337 01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:40,200 Speaker 17: and I wrote, it's my dream to play a song 1338 01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:44,240 Speaker 17: with you. And I went and I just walked down 1339 01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:47,480 Speaker 17: to the front in the pit and I held this 1340 01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:51,800 Speaker 17: sign up and he leaned over, saw the sign and 1341 01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:54,360 Speaker 17: was like, this kid's blocking everybody's view with this sign. 1342 01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:59,080 Speaker 17: So so he grabs the bandana off his head and 1343 01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:02,320 Speaker 17: he throws it to me. And I catch this bandana 1344 01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:04,480 Speaker 17: and I put it in my pocket and then I 1345 01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:07,960 Speaker 17: hold the sign back up and he leans over again. 1346 01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:10,440 Speaker 17: Probably a couple songs later, it throws me another bandana, 1347 01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:13,320 Speaker 17: and so I'm like, I'm giving this one to my grandpa, 1348 01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:15,439 Speaker 17: you know, And then I put the sign back up, 1349 01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:18,760 Speaker 17: and the third time he leans over and he goes 1350 01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:21,160 Speaker 17: all right, kid, what do you want to sing? And 1351 01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:24,439 Speaker 17: because I've always had that thought of like what would 1352 01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:27,840 Speaker 17: I do? Would I be ready? I knew that nobody 1353 01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:30,360 Speaker 17: wanted to see a no name kid singing Willie Nelson song. 1354 01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:33,440 Speaker 17: So I was like, Willie Nelson loves western swing music. 1355 01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:35,400 Speaker 17: I've seen him play some of the songs that me 1356 01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:37,840 Speaker 17: and my band play.

I never thought he'd leave Montok because he's 1518 01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:17,000 Speaker 2: been in Montoku forever. But he's moved to Texas. And 1519 01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:19,200 Speaker 2: this cabin that he's in where he records all his 1520 01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:22,160 Speaker 2: music and stuff is just the whole place is just 1521 01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:23,880 Speaker 2: a niful So have a look at that if you 1522 01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:26,080 Speaker 2: get some time today.

So we told you're talking to 1530 01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:06,280 Speaker 2: Steve yesterday that a bunch of Australian Isis brides left 1531 01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:10,479 Speaker 2: their camp in Syria started heading allegedly back towards Australia 1532 01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:13,040 Speaker 2: before they got turned around return to their camp. Everyone 1533 01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:15,320 Speaker 2: goes to Albaneza going what the hell's going on here? 1534 01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:17,960 Speaker 2: He goes, nothing to do with me. I'm not helping them. 1535 01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:20,640 Speaker 2: We're not helping them. They made their bed, they can 1536 01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:23,759 Speaker 2: lie in it. Quote unquote, that's what he said later 1537 01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:26,040 Speaker 2: in the day as in yesterday. Suddenly the bloke who's 1538 01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:28,760 Speaker 2: running the camp goes, quote I saw the passports. So 1539 01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:30,920 Speaker 2: in other words, how do you get passports if they're 1540 01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:33,160 Speaker 2: Australian citizens, how do you get your passports from the 1541 01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:35,640 Speaker 2: embassies or the consulate or whatevers in that part of 1542 01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:40,160 Speaker 2: the world without assistance? And they go back to Elbon 1543 01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:42,080 Speaker 2: and he goes, well, I don't know anything about it. 1544 01:14:42,160 --> 01:14:45,240 Speaker 2: So somewhere in there is the real story. But there 1545 01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:48,599 Speaker 2: is growing concern and they were already angsty over race 1546 01:14:48,680 --> 01:14:50,880 Speaker 2: issues and bosom issues and Jewish issues and all that 1547 01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:52,720 Speaker 2: sort of stuff that's been going on Australia of late. 1548 01:14:53,200 --> 01:14:55,639 Speaker 2: Somewhere in their lives the real story. So we'll see 1549 01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:57,080 Speaker 2: if we can't get to that over the next twenty 1550 01:14:57,080 --> 01:14:58,639 Speaker 2: four hours, twenty two minutes away from. 1551 01:14:58,640 --> 01:15:02,920 Speaker 1: Nine International correspondence with ends in eye insurance, peace of 1552 01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:04,240 Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business. 1553 01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:09,080 Speaker 6: But now bring Rod little money mate, Good morning, good morning. 1554 01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:13,320 Speaker 2: Chagos is the weirdest story. So when I started playing 1555 01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:14,800 Speaker 2: attention to it, I thought a bit of be on 1556 01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:16,760 Speaker 2: top of this. So I started reading about Chagos and 1557 01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:19,880 Speaker 2: you know, the military base and then the deal and 1558 01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:22,200 Speaker 2: we had to wait for Trump, and Trump said that's fine, 1559 01:15:22,240 --> 01:15:24,679 Speaker 2: and then nothing happened, and then suddenly said it wasn't fine. 1560 01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:27,920 Speaker 2: Then it was fine. Now where is this thing at. 1561 01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:34,680 Speaker 6: It's in real, real trouble for Starma and it's like 1562 01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:40,519 Speaker 6: everything else Starma does, it turns to dust. It's like 1563 01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:44,479 Speaker 6: a Lego model built by a four year old inba Seal. 1564 01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:48,920 Speaker 6: Everything he does crumbles in the end. And Chagos is 1565 01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:54,559 Speaker 6: crumbling right now. And it's an important story. We owned 1566 01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:58,920 Speaker 6: this island and labor because of its ideology, wants to 1567 01:15:58,960 --> 01:16:01,080 Speaker 6: give it back, and it's giving it back to the 1568 01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:04,200 Speaker 6: wrong people. It's giving it to the Mauritians, who are 1569 01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:07,920 Speaker 6: allies of the Chinese, and not to the czech Ossians. 1570 01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:11,920 Speaker 6: And we are now at the point, the remarkable point 1571 01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:15,840 Speaker 6: where the British government is threatening to arrest Cchaic Ossians 1572 01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:21,000 Speaker 6: for traveling to the items to make their protests, which 1573 01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:23,960 Speaker 6: is a remarkable occurrence. And we've got the leader of 1574 01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:28,640 Speaker 6: the Chickossian opposition, a guy called Misley Mandarin, who is 1575 01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:31,640 Speaker 6: right now on the Cchagos Islands, are waiting to be 1576 01:16:31,760 --> 01:16:35,920 Speaker 6: arrested by the British for the crime of objecting to 1577 01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:38,880 Speaker 6: the fact that his islands have been given to the 1578 01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:42,640 Speaker 6: Mauritians with above billions of pounds as well. It is 1579 01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:46,799 Speaker 6: a remarkable misstep by this government. And Trump is waighing 1580 01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:50,719 Speaker 6: in again to say this deal must not go ahead. 1581 01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:53,800 Speaker 2: So what do they do because Trump might say the 1582 01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:55,559 Speaker 2: deal could go ahead again? 1583 01:16:57,479 --> 01:17:01,439 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I mean, in fairness, I don't think I mean, 1584 01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:04,240 Speaker 6: between you and me, Mike, I don't think Trump's a 1585 01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:10,400 Speaker 6: man the detail when he first saw this, I don't 1586 01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:14,280 Speaker 6: think he quite grasped what we were doing. Later more 1587 01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:17,160 Speaker 6: latterly he has and he said we were utterly stupid 1588 01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:19,680 Speaker 6: to do it, and he's now saying it shouldn't go 1589 01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:25,680 Speaker 6: ahead at all. But just the sheer mood music of 1590 01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:29,720 Speaker 6: the British government in its desperate attempts to look hi 1591 01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:36,559 Speaker 6: and decolonizing, will be putting in prison for three years 1592 01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:41,360 Speaker 6: the very people it's supposed to have liberated. It just 1593 01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:47,600 Speaker 6: an incredible missteps. 1594 01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:48,320 Speaker 2: Yet another hitterche he doesn't need What I didn't realize, 1595 01:17:48,360 --> 01:17:50,240 Speaker 2: by the way, and again reading up more about this 1596 01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:52,679 Speaker 2: this bi election when you're blast on the program Coupital 1597 01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:54,360 Speaker 2: of days ago, we talked about the backdown on the 1598 01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:57,479 Speaker 2: local body of bilections. What I didn't realize is the 1599 01:17:57,479 --> 01:18:02,280 Speaker 2: government having to pay Farag's legal bills, which which might 1600 01:18:02,360 --> 01:18:03,520 Speaker 2: it even more embarrassing. 1601 01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:08,600 Speaker 6: Yes, that's right they are. And incidentally Farag's in the 1602 01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:13,760 Speaker 6: take are silence at the moment, cheerfully triumphing over the 1603 01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:17,799 Speaker 6: government's latest mis steps. But yes, that's right. The council 1604 01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:22,280 Speaker 6: elections which have now been reinstated after a long campaign 1605 01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:25,639 Speaker 6: by the Daily Telegraph, and also it has to be said, 1606 01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:30,320 Speaker 6: by Reform UK under Nitel Farage they're going to have 1607 01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:34,800 Speaker 6: to pay his legal fees. It is a catastrophe, and 1608 01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:39,320 Speaker 6: every decision he makes turns into a catastrophe because there 1609 01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:44,080 Speaker 6: is no principle behind the decision, no spine to see 1610 01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:48,519 Speaker 6: that decision through, and because he is terribly, terribly badly 1611 01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:52,680 Speaker 6: advised and is also probably useless himself. I mean, it 1612 01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:54,559 Speaker 6: just gets worse and worse. 1613 01:18:55,120 --> 01:19:00,280 Speaker 2: Steve Reid, who's the local government secretary, he was trying 1614 01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:01,760 Speaker 2: to spin it and say it had nothing to do 1615 01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:04,240 Speaker 2: with VERAJ and the advice change, and they just moved on. 1616 01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:07,760 Speaker 2: The suggestion being that some of these councilors who apparently 1617 01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:11,320 Speaker 2: weren't ready even less ready now because they weren't expecting 1618 01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:13,240 Speaker 2: to have an election but now are having an election 1619 01:19:13,320 --> 01:19:15,040 Speaker 2: and times running out, is that fear. 1620 01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:20,320 Speaker 6: It's partly part of It's fair. I mean, it is 1621 01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:23,479 Speaker 6: undoubtedly true that, you know, have we not had any 1622 01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:25,720 Speaker 6: of this rubbish, that the councils would have prepared for 1623 01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:28,960 Speaker 6: an election and been able to see them through. But 1624 01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:31,880 Speaker 6: now given that we're so late in the day, it 1625 01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:34,120 Speaker 6: probably is going to be quite hard for some of them. 1626 01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:36,599 Speaker 6: The idea that you can blain the council though, when 1627 01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:39,160 Speaker 6: the government makes a decision do you want to have 1628 01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:43,160 Speaker 6: this election or not, and the majority of councils, being labor, 1629 01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:46,040 Speaker 6: said oh, actually no, no, you come to mention it 1630 01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:51,840 Speaker 6: decided against. I mean, it's ridiculous Steve Reid. Incidentally, it's 1631 01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:54,360 Speaker 6: one of the better members of the cabinet, you know. 1632 01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:56,640 Speaker 6: That's where we are. 1633 01:19:56,920 --> 01:20:00,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, dear the weather, how bad it seems to have 1634 01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:02,200 Speaker 2: been a difficult winter. As everything. 1635 01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:08,320 Speaker 6: It's been appalling. I have never known such depressing weather 1636 01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:11,479 Speaker 6: in the sixty five years of my life. There are 1637 01:20:11,479 --> 01:20:13,840 Speaker 6: places in this country and mine is close to being 1638 01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:17,360 Speaker 6: one of them where we haven't seen the sun since 1639 01:20:17,479 --> 01:20:22,120 Speaker 6: January the first. It has rained and rained and rained. 1640 01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:25,000 Speaker 6: It has been gray. It's all to do with something 1641 01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:27,360 Speaker 6: to do with the jet stream, but it has been 1642 01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:32,400 Speaker 6: stackeringly miserable, and I think that plays into the national mood, 1643 01:20:32,479 --> 01:20:34,680 Speaker 6: which is Mike, if I might put it like this, 1644 01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:36,360 Speaker 6: stackeringly miserable. 1645 01:20:37,360 --> 01:20:39,439 Speaker 2: The interesting you should say that because of reading the 1646 01:20:39,479 --> 01:20:42,080 Speaker 2: other day, Aberdeen had twenty one days of no son 1647 01:20:42,160 --> 01:20:43,559 Speaker 2: and I think that was a record for them. But 1648 01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:47,080 Speaker 2: also travel bookings for what now have you had midterms 1649 01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:50,519 Speaker 2: or half terms or holidays of some sort that just said, 1650 01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:54,840 Speaker 2: travel bookings were up and noticeably, as people couldn't like 1651 01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:57,000 Speaker 2: to get out of the country because everyone's down on 1652 01:20:57,000 --> 01:20:57,720 Speaker 2: the dumps. 1653 01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:01,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right, And in fact, I've spent most of 1654 01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:04,679 Speaker 6: sub tone trying to book up a trip to Kerala. 1655 01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:07,200 Speaker 6: Let's go to India and sit on a beach for 1656 01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:10,400 Speaker 6: six weeks, you know that would be it. No, indeed, 1657 01:21:10,439 --> 01:21:14,080 Speaker 6: you're right. People are trying to get out because it 1658 01:21:14,160 --> 01:21:17,240 Speaker 6: has been It's no fault of the government, obviously, though 1659 01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:21,200 Speaker 6: the government doesn't help. But it has been just horrible weather. 1660 01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:25,600 Speaker 6: Not whether that kills people, not the kind of avalanches 1661 01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:31,439 Speaker 6: we're seen in Italy and France and Switzerland, just sheer 1662 01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:35,600 Speaker 6: misery added into the fact. Of course, the January and 1663 01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:38,519 Speaker 6: February are the two most miserable months of the year generally. 1664 01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:41,840 Speaker 2: Anyway, all right, you can go, well, good weekend. We'll 1665 01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:44,280 Speaker 2: catch up next week, Rod Little in Britain. For Us, 1666 01:21:44,280 --> 01:21:45,040 Speaker 2: it is sixteen to. 1667 01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:51,280 Speaker 1: Nine the mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on High 1668 01:21:51,280 --> 01:21:53,160 Speaker 1: Heart Radio powered by News Talks. 1669 01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:56,880 Speaker 2: It be the California avalanche. By the way, eight did 1670 01:21:57,040 --> 01:22:01,400 Speaker 2: six rescued in, one still missing. If you're following that story, 1671 01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:03,120 Speaker 2: I should have mentioned this earlier but didn't get to it. 1672 01:22:03,160 --> 01:22:05,639 Speaker 2: But Peru's something going on Peru. Peru doesn't get enough 1673 01:22:05,640 --> 01:22:07,960 Speaker 2: coverage because it sounds like a fascinating place anywhere. The 1674 01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:11,080 Speaker 2: president's been bounsted censured by Congress, and it's one of 1675 01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:14,160 Speaker 2: those frustrating stories where you see a line you go, 1676 01:22:14,240 --> 01:22:16,679 Speaker 2: what the hell. Anyway, So the thing to know about 1677 01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:19,120 Speaker 2: Peru is none of the presidents hang around long. So 1678 01:22:19,200 --> 01:22:22,599 Speaker 2: this guy, Jerry, that's his surname, not his Christian name, 1679 01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:26,760 Speaker 2: Jose Jerry, one hundred and thirty days. Castillo, you may 1680 01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:28,679 Speaker 2: remember from twenty one. He was there for four hundred 1681 01:22:28,680 --> 01:22:31,160 Speaker 2: and ninety seven days. Segusta back in twenty twenty was 1682 01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:32,680 Speaker 2: there for two undred and fifty four days. But no 1683 01:22:32,720 --> 01:22:36,200 Speaker 2: one beats Marino. Manuel Marino, he was there for a 1684 01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:39,559 Speaker 2: full five days, so they turn him over fairly quickly. Anyway. 1685 01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:42,200 Speaker 2: The latest guy is out because he held an unofficial 1686 01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:45,840 Speaker 2: meeting with Chinese business people on one occasion while wearing 1687 01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:49,639 Speaker 2: a hood. Now, obviously the question you're asking is why 1688 01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:51,080 Speaker 2: was he wearing a hood? Hasn't it I mean, isn't 1689 01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:53,479 Speaker 2: that the most obvious question? The answer no one tells you. 1690 01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:56,200 Speaker 2: In that no one tells you in the story obvious question, 1691 01:22:56,320 --> 01:22:58,559 Speaker 2: why is he wearing a hood? So what was it 1692 01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:00,800 Speaker 2: that tipped him over? Was it the meeting the hood 1693 01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:04,800 Speaker 2: was a combination of the two. Anyway, he's gone. This 1694 01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:07,760 Speaker 2: India FTA is getting right up my nose. I am 1695 01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:10,880 Speaker 2: sick and tired of it. So this morning story is 1696 01:23:11,040 --> 01:23:15,960 Speaker 2: Nita Bushman, who is our outgoing I believe, a commissioner 1697 01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:18,240 Speaker 2: in that particular part of the world, the Indian High Commissioner. 1698 01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:20,720 Speaker 2: She said, this business of the twenty billion that we've 1699 01:23:20,720 --> 01:23:24,000 Speaker 2: got to invest in India is an aspiration. So in 1700 01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:26,240 Speaker 2: other words, you know, do it or don't. I mean, 1701 01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:28,920 Speaker 2: what it's based on is that we do business. There's 1702 01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:31,920 Speaker 2: more business, there's more opportunities. We land a plane, we 1703 01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:33,680 Speaker 2: go and see a whole lot of people, shake some 1704 01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:37,000 Speaker 2: hands and do some investment. Fantastic. That's what FTAs are about. 1705 01:23:37,360 --> 01:23:40,519 Speaker 2: Somehow Winston's got it as if it's not the number 1706 01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:43,320 Speaker 2: of people coming to the country through immigration, suddenly there's 1707 01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:45,840 Speaker 2: twenty billion things a thing labors hung up on it 1708 01:23:45,880 --> 01:23:51,040 Speaker 2: as well. She doesn't foresee any potential issues for New 1709 01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:58,000 Speaker 2: Zealand if the twenty billion wasn't invested in India. So 1710 01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:00,080 Speaker 2: that should be the beginning of the middle and the 1711 01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:02,200 Speaker 2: end of it. But it's not because Peters, who's got 1712 01:24:02,240 --> 01:24:03,960 Speaker 2: to be in his bonnet and is back in election 1713 01:24:04,080 --> 01:24:07,160 Speaker 2: year mode and going down my ranking of people I 1714 01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:11,040 Speaker 2: like at a rate of knots. Guys, there's no layer 1715 01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:14,640 Speaker 2: I am and like, come on, I mean, if you 1716 01:24:14,680 --> 01:24:18,040 Speaker 2: watched him in the House yesterday, he's a disgrace. And 1717 01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:20,200 Speaker 2: I won't repeat what he did in the House yesterday, 1718 01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:22,760 Speaker 2: but he tried one on with the Greens and he 1719 01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:27,600 Speaker 2: used race and it's just at his best, he's exceptional 1720 01:24:27,760 --> 01:24:29,960 Speaker 2: and as a foreign Ministry who's been brilliant and I've 1721 01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:34,200 Speaker 2: got a lot of time for him. As an electioneering politician, 1722 01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:38,479 Speaker 2: he's a pillock and he's not putting the country first, 1723 01:24:39,160 --> 01:24:42,800 Speaker 2: and the FTA is needlessly being held up by him 1724 01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:45,639 Speaker 2: and Labor when it doesn't need to be. Turn away 1725 01:24:45,640 --> 01:24:46,320 Speaker 2: from nine. 1726 01:24:47,160 --> 01:24:51,040 Speaker 1: The Mike Hocking Breakfast with Bailey's Real Estate News Dogs. 1727 01:24:51,040 --> 01:24:53,479 Speaker 2: There'd be moment on any New Zealand road and we've 1728 01:24:53,479 --> 01:24:55,320 Speaker 2: all been there.
