There's a 54 00:02:40,813 --> 00:02:43,373 Speaker 2: nice jacket, Yeah, but then nice jacket's not getting very 55 00:02:43,373 --> 00:02:45,012 Speaker 2: warm and I can't I can't go from jacket to 56 00:02:45,013 --> 00:02:47,893 Speaker 2: T shirt. I'm going to a complicated middle ground here. Okay, 57 00:02:48,173 --> 00:02:50,532 Speaker 2: you stop calling me a wortz just because I've pumped 58 00:02:50,532 --> 00:02:52,533 Speaker 2: the temperature up on the conditioning. 59 00:02:52,532 --> 00:02:54,093 Speaker 3: I had a look before and it's actually at twenty 60 00:02:54,093 --> 00:02:55,813 Speaker 3: seven degrees. I'm gonna have to take my shirt off 61 00:02:55,813 --> 00:02:59,333 Speaker 3: and nobody wants to see that. Right before we get 62 00:02:59,373 --> 00:03:01,853 Speaker 3: to the show, you wanted to mention something about sausage rolls. 63 00:03:01,893 --> 00:03:03,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I I've complained about sausagells on the 64 00:03:03,972 --> 00:03:09,132 Speaker 2: show before. But there's a very sausage right, a thing 65 00:03:09,213 --> 00:03:11,773 Speaker 2: that do not need any flar. When you go to 66 00:03:11,813 --> 00:03:13,933 Speaker 2: eat a sausage roll, you expect a certain thing. You 67 00:03:13,972 --> 00:03:15,573 Speaker 2: want to dip it in your sauce, and you want 68 00:03:15,573 --> 00:03:19,373 Speaker 2: to eat it. And at this very fancy pants event 69 00:03:19,453 --> 00:03:22,173 Speaker 2: that I was just speaking at earlier today, they had 70 00:03:22,213 --> 00:03:25,213 Speaker 2: sausage rolls. I was so excited. I skipped off stage 71 00:03:25,252 --> 00:03:27,693 Speaker 2: past the crowd and I could see the sausage rolls 72 00:03:27,893 --> 00:03:30,293 Speaker 2: in the other room, and I skipped over there. I 73 00:03:30,293 --> 00:03:33,453 Speaker 2: was so excited, and then I went to eat them 74 00:03:33,453 --> 00:03:36,133 Speaker 2: and it was a fancy pants sausage roll with too 75 00:03:36,253 --> 00:03:39,893 Speaker 2: much flavor. And I think that is a betrayal of trust. 76 00:03:40,933 --> 00:03:42,133 Speaker 2: I mean, it's worse when it turns out to be 77 00:03:42,133 --> 00:03:44,493 Speaker 2: a vegan one you find out it's a check pea 78 00:03:44,533 --> 00:03:48,413 Speaker 2: sausage roll. But just can we just standardize all sausage 79 00:03:48,493 --> 00:03:52,213 Speaker 2: rolls have to be there's a one flavor, slightly oniny 80 00:03:52,813 --> 00:03:54,773 Speaker 2: flavor of a sausage roll, and let's just make that 81 00:03:54,813 --> 00:03:56,853 Speaker 2: blanket across the country. Don't try and reinvent it. 82 00:03:56,893 --> 00:03:59,293 Speaker 3: Okay, but you can't trust a sausage roll or do, 83 00:03:59,613 --> 00:04:01,213 Speaker 3: and that's what that was right. It was one of 84 00:04:01,253 --> 00:04:03,373 Speaker 3: those they hand it round on we plates as they 85 00:04:03,373 --> 00:04:05,813 Speaker 3: go around the event. Never trust those sausage rolls because 86 00:04:05,813 --> 00:04:08,853 Speaker 3: they're not real saucy rolls. They're too fancy. I'm with 87 00:04:08,893 --> 00:04:11,293 Speaker 3: you anyway, it's ruined my life. 88 00:04:11,653 --> 00:04:13,133 Speaker 2: I don't know how. I don't think I'll ever come 89 00:04:13,173 --> 00:04:15,853 Speaker 2: back from the disappointment of that sausage roll being too good. 90 00:04:16,333 --> 00:04:18,373 Speaker 3: It will be hard, be hard, but we'll get you there. Mate. 91 00:04:18,453 --> 00:04:20,613 Speaker 3: On to today's show because it is a doozy of 92 00:04:20,693 --> 00:04:23,573 Speaker 3: a show after three point thirty.

We've 106 00:05:04,853 --> 00:05:06,653 Speaker 2: got one of the worst rates in the world and 107 00:05:07,733 --> 00:05:10,133 Speaker 2: people need help out there.

People hitting the 121 00:05:56,853 --> 00:05:59,373 Speaker 2: streets and protesting about the mount of tourists. We know 122 00:05:59,373 --> 00:06:02,333 Speaker 2: when the America's Cup was in Spain, there were protests 123 00:06:02,373 --> 00:06:04,173 Speaker 2: against it because they were like, you're just bringing more 124 00:06:04,173 --> 00:06:04,653 Speaker 2: people here. 125 00:06:04,733 --> 00:06:05,293 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know. 126 00:06:05,333 --> 00:06:07,813 Speaker 2: Meanwhile in New Zealand like please come, please come back. 127 00:06:07,893 --> 00:06:11,693 Speaker 2: Although I do remember before COVID there was talk that 128 00:06:11,733 --> 00:06:14,573 Speaker 2: we had peak, it would hit peak tourism in this 129 00:06:14,613 --> 00:06:17,253 Speaker 2: country and we didn't want anymore. So the question is 130 00:06:17,333 --> 00:06:19,733 Speaker 2: have you been to any of these very famous European 131 00:06:19,853 --> 00:06:22,452 Speaker 2: spots and they've just been totally ruined by the amount 132 00:06:22,453 --> 00:06:25,053 Speaker 2: of tourists there. I've heard horror shows at the coliseum 133 00:06:25,453 --> 00:06:27,733 Speaker 2: And is there a peak number of tourists that that 134 00:06:27,893 --> 00:06:30,493 Speaker 2: New Zealand should take. You know, we're now back to 135 00:06:30,533 --> 00:06:33,773 Speaker 2: eighty percent of pre COVID levels. Is that enough or 136 00:06:33,773 --> 00:06:35,333 Speaker 2: do we want to get up to two hundred percent 137 00:06:35,333 --> 00:06:37,853 Speaker 2: and just ram as many tourists through the system, fleece 138 00:06:37,853 --> 00:06:39,773 Speaker 2: them for money and try and get ourselves out of 139 00:06:39,773 --> 00:06:40,333 Speaker 2: this recession. 140 00:06:40,373 --> 00:06:42,453 Speaker 3: Looking forward to that chat after two o'clock, But right now, 141 00:06:42,813 --> 00:06:44,933 Speaker 3: let's have a chat about the census. The days of 142 00:06:44,973 --> 00:06:47,013 Speaker 3: trying to get every New Zealander to fill out those 143 00:06:47,053 --> 00:06:50,493 Speaker 3: forms are over. Minister of Statistics doctor Shane Ready announced 144 00:06:50,493 --> 00:06:52,453 Speaker 3: today that stats in z will move to an admin 145 00:06:52,573 --> 00:06:55,413 Speaker 3: data first census. So this means using data the government 146 00:06:55,493 --> 00:06:58,213 Speaker 3: or has already collected when trying to assemble data sets 147 00:06:58,373 --> 00:07:01,413 Speaker 3: that include all of us. For example, instead of asking 148 00:07:01,453 --> 00:07:03,973 Speaker 3: for your income on a sense of for our census form, 149 00:07:04,013 --> 00:07:07,613 Speaker 3: STATS in z will instead ask inland revenue how much 150 00:07:07,773 --> 00:07:09,813 Speaker 3: you earn? So we want to have a chat to you. 151 00:07:09,933 --> 00:07:12,013 Speaker 3: Is this a sad state of affairs we are at 152 00:07:12,013 --> 00:07:13,973 Speaker 3: in New Zealand that we can't even be bothered to 153 00:07:14,013 --> 00:07:17,693 Speaker 3: fill out something like the census? And it is incredibly important. 154 00:07:17,773 --> 00:07:20,893 Speaker 3: It collects a lot of data that is vital for 155 00:07:20,933 --> 00:07:23,693 Speaker 3: governments and other agencies to use to direct funds where 156 00:07:23,733 --> 00:07:24,293 Speaker 3: they need to go. 157 00:07:24,413 --> 00:07:26,733 Speaker 2: Yeah, because one of the reasons why they're not doing it. 158 00:07:26,413 --> 00:07:29,053 Speaker 2: They gave several reasons why they're not going to do it, 159 00:07:29,093 --> 00:07:31,773 Speaker 2: but one of them is the difficulties in getting people 160 00:07:31,773 --> 00:07:34,373 Speaker 2: to fill it out. It will save money. So this 161 00:07:34,493 --> 00:07:37,653 Speaker 2: is what Mary Craig, acting Stats New Zealand Chief Executive 162 00:07:37,733 --> 00:07:41,293 Speaker 2: and Government Statitions said, this is an exciting and necessary change, 163 00:07:41,333 --> 00:07:43,133 Speaker 2: so she's really into it. The traditional way of running 164 00:07:43,133 --> 00:07:45,893 Speaker 2: a nationwide survey on Census day can no longer be 165 00:07:45,973 --> 00:07:48,653 Speaker 2: justified due to rising costs, and this is the bit 166 00:07:48,733 --> 00:07:51,813 Speaker 2: that I think is pathetic of New Zealand as declining 167 00:07:51,933 --> 00:07:55,973 Speaker 2: survey response rates and disruption from events like Cyclone Gabriel 168 00:07:56,013 --> 00:07:59,373 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three. From twenty thirty, New Zealand sensor 169 00:07:59,453 --> 00:08:02,093 Speaker 2: data and statistics will be produced every year in a 170 00:08:02,133 --> 00:08:07,173 Speaker 2: cost effective and sustainable manner. So whether that is cost 171 00:08:07,213 --> 00:08:10,653 Speaker 2: effective and sustainable and it looks like it will be cheaper, 172 00:08:10,973 --> 00:08:12,493 Speaker 2: you know, I think we're going to say one hundred 173 00:08:12,493 --> 00:08:14,173 Speaker 2: and twenty three odd million on it. So that's a 174 00:08:14,213 --> 00:08:16,133 Speaker 2: good thing. But does that, as you say, Tyler, say 175 00:08:16,173 --> 00:08:18,693 Speaker 2: something about a country that we can't even get together 176 00:08:18,813 --> 00:08:22,333 Speaker 2: full out a census, that such large amounts of people 177 00:08:22,733 --> 00:08:25,773 Speaker 2: can't even be bothered filling in a form for the 178 00:08:25,773 --> 00:08:27,693 Speaker 2: good of their country and the good of their community. 179 00:08:28,093 --> 00:08:30,053 Speaker 2: That that is one of the reasons why we're canceling 180 00:08:30,053 --> 00:08:30,733 Speaker 2: the old census. 181 00:08:30,853 --> 00:08:32,933 Speaker 3: Yeah, we never used to freak out about it so much. 182 00:08:32,933 --> 00:08:35,053 Speaker 3: It used to be Census day or Census night. You'd 183 00:08:35,093 --> 00:08:37,893 Speaker 3: get the forms in the in you let a box, 184 00:08:37,933 --> 00:08:39,773 Speaker 3: and you'd sit around as a family just ticking it 185 00:08:39,773 --> 00:08:41,492 Speaker 3: all off because you knew it was the right thing 186 00:08:41,492 --> 00:08:44,653 Speaker 3: to do as a citizen. It was important information that 187 00:08:44,693 --> 00:08:47,372 Speaker 3: the government needed to make sure again, the funds get 188 00:08:47,413 --> 00:08:49,373 Speaker 3: to where they need to get It wasn't a big deal, 189 00:08:49,413 --> 00:08:51,413 Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, for some reason, a 190 00:08:51,413 --> 00:08:53,973 Speaker 3: lot of people said, nah, you don't get to know. 191 00:08:54,173 --> 00:08:56,292 Speaker 3: And it's just confusing to me about why people took 192 00:08:56,333 --> 00:08:56,852 Speaker 3: that stance. 193 00:08:57,012 --> 00:08:59,412 Speaker 2: Well, I think people are just lame and lazy and 194 00:08:59,852 --> 00:09:02,213 Speaker 2: don't think that they need to do anything for their country. 195 00:09:02,252 --> 00:09:03,652 Speaker 2: I think that's right. As I stayed up so late, 196 00:09:03,653 --> 00:09:05,293 Speaker 2: look on bitter about it because I stayed up late 197 00:09:05,413 --> 00:09:09,333 Speaker 2: and it was complex working out on my kids, tribes 198 00:09:09,693 --> 00:09:11,613 Speaker 2: and staff, and there was a lot going on, and 199 00:09:11,653 --> 00:09:12,932 Speaker 2: I got stressed and I was like, I've got to 200 00:09:12,973 --> 00:09:14,852 Speaker 2: get this done census day and time. And I got 201 00:09:14,852 --> 00:09:16,253 Speaker 2: it done. And then the news next day is no 202 00:09:16,252 --> 00:09:19,973 Speaker 2: one did it and that's fine, nothing happens to them. 203 00:09:19,973 --> 00:09:22,293 Speaker 2: And then later the news was we're giving people rewards 204 00:09:22,293 --> 00:09:22,893 Speaker 2: for not doing it. 205 00:09:22,973 --> 00:09:25,013 Speaker 3: Yeah, so you missed out on Warrior's tickets, you missed 206 00:09:25,012 --> 00:09:27,933 Speaker 3: out on KFC.

Matt Heath and Taylor Adams afternoons used talks. 220 00:10:02,852 --> 00:10:06,213 Speaker 3: That'd be good afternoon. We are talking about the census. 221 00:10:06,252 --> 00:10:10,132 Speaker 3: The days of the traditional census done. According to the government. 222 00:10:10,132 --> 00:10:13,852 Speaker 3: Minister of Statistics, doctor Shane Ready, has announced this morning 223 00:10:13,892 --> 00:10:16,053 Speaker 3: that stats n Z will move to an admund data 224 00:10:16,413 --> 00:10:20,253 Speaker 3: first census. It effectively means they'll use organizations government departments 225 00:10:20,293 --> 00:10:23,453 Speaker 3: already in existence. They have information about you to collect 226 00:10:23,492 --> 00:10:24,252 Speaker 3: data for the census. 227 00:10:24,252 --> 00:10:26,093 Speaker 2: For example, if they want to know how much you paid, 228 00:10:26,132 --> 00:10:29,733 Speaker 2: they'll just ask the IID yeah, instead of asking you exactly, 229 00:10:29,773 --> 00:10:31,893 Speaker 2: which is interesting that they believe what people said. 230 00:10:32,252 --> 00:10:34,213 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's right. Yeah. 231 00:10:34,252 --> 00:10:36,253 Speaker 2: But my thing with it is, as I get it, 232 00:10:36,252 --> 00:10:38,293 Speaker 2: maybe there it is more efficient, but just do you 233 00:10:38,333 --> 00:10:40,252 Speaker 2: think that one of the main reasons was that people 234 00:10:40,293 --> 00:10:42,933 Speaker 2: won't fill it out. Just says a little bit says 235 00:10:42,933 --> 00:10:45,492 Speaker 2: something about our country. I believe, whether it's right or 236 00:10:45,492 --> 00:10:47,773 Speaker 2: wrong to get rid of it, it just says that we've 237 00:10:47,813 --> 00:10:51,652 Speaker 2: become just either so mistrustful of the government that we 238 00:10:51,693 --> 00:10:53,693 Speaker 2: will do it, or just a bit lazy and don't 239 00:10:53,693 --> 00:10:55,253 Speaker 2: care about your fellow countrymen. 240 00:10:55,413 --> 00:10:57,372 Speaker 3: Yeah.

I mean, 245 00:11:11,693 --> 00:11:14,613 Speaker 4: I'm nearly fifty of field. Nff you, and that was 246 00:11:14,653 --> 00:11:18,052 Speaker 4: the biggest racist, gender bending bunch of crap off you 247 00:11:18,093 --> 00:11:21,733 Speaker 4: ever seen in my life. It was ridiculous and I've 248 00:11:21,732 --> 00:11:23,093 Speaker 4: got the only else to play. 249 00:11:23,293 --> 00:11:25,333 Speaker 2: What kind of questions did you not like in it? Glenn? 250 00:11:26,813 --> 00:11:30,093 Speaker 4: What is the difference if I'm Maori or parkih I'm 251 00:11:30,132 --> 00:11:33,253 Speaker 4: in New Zealander? What is the difference? There is no difference. 252 00:11:33,933 --> 00:11:37,973 Speaker 4: What is it if I am a transitioning person, if 253 00:11:38,012 --> 00:11:40,173 Speaker 4: I'm a man who identify as a man, what that 254 00:11:40,372 --> 00:11:44,213 Speaker 4: is not the census. The census is Helbig is Roxburgh 255 00:11:44,573 --> 00:11:48,693 Speaker 4: doesn't need a hospital, Helberg is Kutia doesn't need a 256 00:11:48,732 --> 00:11:51,733 Speaker 4: new hospital. That's what the census is for. None. All 257 00:11:51,813 --> 00:11:54,813 Speaker 4: this crap from people who got se minus in yearly 258 00:11:54,973 --> 00:11:59,292 Speaker 4: in third year level political science who are now running 259 00:11:59,293 --> 00:12:02,772 Speaker 4: the standard Department's people are over it. It's crap. 260 00:12:03,173 --> 00:12:03,573 Speaker 3: What about? 261 00:12:03,612 --> 00:12:06,132 Speaker 2: What about some of the questions though, Glenn, there are 262 00:12:06,173 --> 00:12:08,333 Speaker 2: some questions though, like what did you think about the 263 00:12:08,413 --> 00:12:10,652 Speaker 2: questions like have you got black mold in your house? 264 00:12:10,732 --> 00:12:12,333 Speaker 2: Did you? Did you? Do you think that was an 265 00:12:12,372 --> 00:12:12,933 Speaker 2: all right question? 266 00:12:14,372 --> 00:12:16,573 Speaker 4: It's a good question. Yeah, it is to talk and 267 00:12:16,612 --> 00:12:19,052 Speaker 4: think you should be asking, right, because that leads to 268 00:12:19,093 --> 00:12:22,852 Speaker 4: building stands, which leads to how to build new houses. Right. 269 00:12:24,053 --> 00:12:26,053 Speaker 4: There was a whole section of that which I skipped 270 00:12:26,093 --> 00:12:27,333 Speaker 4: down it because they're off the end of the fence. 271 00:12:27,612 --> 00:12:28,813 Speaker 4: It was absolutely crap. 272 00:12:28,933 --> 00:12:31,492 Speaker 2: Well because that's because that's something because Glenn, that's something 273 00:12:31,533 --> 00:12:34,413 Speaker 2: they'll miss. But they can't ask those questions where they 274 00:12:34,413 --> 00:12:35,933 Speaker 2: know there's a problem and they need to find out 275 00:12:35,973 --> 00:12:37,852 Speaker 2: exactly where it is that but that's not going to 276 00:12:37,892 --> 00:12:40,813 Speaker 2: come up and just the government and Edmund stats. 277 00:12:40,533 --> 00:12:40,772 Speaker 5: Is it. 278 00:12:42,293 --> 00:12:44,333 Speaker 4: No, and they only got themselves to blame. I mean, 279 00:12:45,293 --> 00:12:46,973 Speaker 4: it actually caught funny. Do you go back and read 280 00:12:46,973 --> 00:12:51,173 Speaker 4: through those questions. It is horrendous just trying to put 281 00:12:51,173 --> 00:12:53,773 Speaker 4: it one into a little and you're this age in 282 00:12:53,813 --> 00:12:55,613 Speaker 4: this colored skin, so you get to egg this way. 283 00:12:55,653 --> 00:12:58,253 Speaker 4: And that's what ststy zone does and has been wrong 284 00:12:58,293 --> 00:13:01,453 Speaker 4: for a very long time. And that's finally New Zealander said, 285 00:13:01,453 --> 00:13:04,132 Speaker 4: you know what, you're irrelevant and now these guys are 286 00:13:04,173 --> 00:13:05,892 Speaker 4: finding out that they are ill. 287 00:13:06,612 --> 00:13:09,253 Speaker 3: Do you worry how they'll find find out this information 288 00:13:09,372 --> 00:13:12,252 Speaker 3: now though, Glenn, because arguably and the nuts and bolts 289 00:13:12,293 --> 00:13:14,653 Speaker 3: are still to be worked out in the detail of this, 290 00:13:14,852 --> 00:13:16,492 Speaker 3: but it appears to be you know, if they need 291 00:13:16,533 --> 00:13:19,013 Speaker 3: to find out this information, they'll be using your health records. 292 00:13:19,053 --> 00:13:21,733 Speaker 3: They'll be using all of this private information that you 293 00:13:21,813 --> 00:13:25,372 Speaker 3: give to individual departments. Hoping and knowing is they should 294 00:13:25,573 --> 00:13:28,573 Speaker 3: keep that within that department so that then is used 295 00:13:28,573 --> 00:13:33,292 Speaker 3: by wider a collection of government workers that will be 296 00:13:33,413 --> 00:13:35,093 Speaker 3: upsetting to a lot of people. So they'll find this 297 00:13:35,173 --> 00:13:38,053 Speaker 3: information out anyway. It just means your health data is 298 00:13:38,053 --> 00:13:39,053 Speaker 3: going to go further afield. 299 00:13:40,852 --> 00:13:43,612 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think I hope that the that the 300 00:13:43,653 --> 00:13:46,373 Speaker 4: Director's Tax New Zealand gives himself a better of an 301 00:13:46,413 --> 00:13:49,173 Speaker 4: upper cap for falling into the track that he did, 302 00:13:49,533 --> 00:13:52,333 Speaker 4: and that's little she did on who who's running the show? 303 00:13:52,693 --> 00:13:54,853 Speaker 4: But they I mean, as I said, they've only got 304 00:13:54,892 --> 00:13:58,693 Speaker 4: themselves to blame. It was pathetic. It was not asked. 305 00:13:58,693 --> 00:14:01,372 Speaker 4: They were asking the questions which were cool at the time. 306 00:14:02,093 --> 00:14:04,612 Speaker 4: Argu you're going to drive the deven four to the 307 00:14:04,693 --> 00:14:06,053 Speaker 4: next twenty years and sthetic. 308 00:14:06,252 --> 00:14:09,453 Speaker 2: So you don't like questions about and you don't like 309 00:14:09,533 --> 00:14:13,252 Speaker 2: questions about gender identity? What about religion? Do you mind 310 00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:15,172 Speaker 2: them asking or do you think that's any business of 311 00:14:15,213 --> 00:14:17,333 Speaker 2: the government what religion you are, because that's always one 312 00:14:17,333 --> 00:14:19,213 Speaker 2: of the questions in the center census. 313 00:14:19,813 --> 00:14:22,813 Speaker 4: I think it's I think it's pretty important when you start, 314 00:14:22,973 --> 00:14:25,213 Speaker 4: when you come to the realization how much land is 315 00:14:25,253 --> 00:14:26,973 Speaker 4: owned by churches and they don't pay text to them 316 00:14:26,973 --> 00:14:30,412 Speaker 4: and got that, like you know, it's it's it's it's 317 00:14:30,453 --> 00:14:33,693 Speaker 4: certainly informative of how big the congregation is compared to 318 00:14:33,693 --> 00:14:36,173 Speaker 4: the Essey value. And yeah, so those sorts of things 319 00:14:36,213 --> 00:14:41,853 Speaker 4: are actually can Dross legislate to change? Yeah, So so 320 00:14:42,373 --> 00:14:45,292 Speaker 4: to me it is about finding out what le slavor 321 00:14:45,413 --> 00:14:47,453 Speaker 4: change needs to be and where the investment needs to go. 322 00:14:47,533 --> 00:14:50,293 Speaker 4: That's what the census is for, not trying to prove 323 00:14:50,613 --> 00:14:54,173 Speaker 4: some guy's theory because he did honors paper in political science. 324 00:14:54,373 --> 00:15:00,293 Speaker 4: And so I want to like that cause your job 325 00:15:00,613 --> 00:15:02,613 Speaker 4: being going with a your head around job. 326 00:15:03,373 --> 00:15:04,613 Speaker 2: All right, thank you for you Corglin. 327 00:15:04,733 --> 00:15:05,613 Speaker 3: Yeah, very passionate. 328 00:15:05,853 --> 00:15:09,893 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that is odd what they ask the 329 00:15:10,653 --> 00:15:12,413 Speaker 2: what they I'll be interested to know what the process, 330 00:15:12,453 --> 00:15:15,973 Speaker 2: what whether why they decide something has to be on 331 00:15:16,013 --> 00:15:18,173 Speaker 2: the census. Who decides what the question that needs to 332 00:15:18,173 --> 00:15:20,613 Speaker 2: be on the census? And because I argue you, the 333 00:15:20,653 --> 00:15:24,053 Speaker 2: census is about knowing where to allocate you know, you 334 00:15:24,093 --> 00:15:26,733 Speaker 2: need another school in this area? Yeah, essentially, yeah, yeah, 335 00:15:26,773 --> 00:15:28,813 Speaker 2: and so that makes sense to find out how how 336 00:15:28,813 --> 00:15:30,653 Speaker 2: many young kids you've got in the area, you know, 337 00:15:31,013 --> 00:15:33,213 Speaker 2: obviously at a very basic level, right, Yeah. 338 00:15:33,253 --> 00:15:35,133 Speaker 3: But Glenn, I mean he was it was pretty worked 339 00:15:35,173 --> 00:15:37,013 Speaker 3: up about that, and he's getting a bit of support 340 00:15:37,053 --> 00:15:39,653 Speaker 3: on text.

Traditional census 512 00:24:01,653 --> 00:24:04,333 Speaker 3: has been done away with the government will instead use 513 00:24:04,333 --> 00:24:07,693 Speaker 3: information it already has on you to formulate the data 514 00:24:07,733 --> 00:24:08,213 Speaker 3: that it needs. 515 00:24:08,453 --> 00:24:10,532 Speaker 2: Do you know what, I've had a total misunderstanding. So 516 00:24:10,533 --> 00:24:12,853 Speaker 2: I started saying that I thought people went fully out 517 00:24:12,853 --> 00:24:15,293 Speaker 2: the census and the majority because they were lazy and 518 00:24:15,573 --> 00:24:19,453 Speaker 2: they they couldn't be bothered. But judging by this text machine, 519 00:24:19,773 --> 00:24:22,693 Speaker 2: a lot of people just don't trust the government and 520 00:24:22,773 --> 00:24:27,693 Speaker 2: didn't want to give the government any any information or 521 00:24:28,893 --> 00:24:31,532 Speaker 2: just didn't like the questions and the census and just 522 00:24:31,733 --> 00:24:34,333 Speaker 2: hated the whole thing. So that wasn't so much that 523 00:24:35,093 --> 00:24:36,693 Speaker 2: judging by this, I mean, I don't know what the 524 00:24:36,733 --> 00:24:38,693 Speaker 2: exact numbers of people that couldn't be bothered doing it 525 00:24:38,813 --> 00:24:41,773 Speaker 2: and could potentially be coaxed by KFC or whatever it was, 526 00:24:42,613 --> 00:24:44,853 Speaker 2: and the people that just actively didn't want to do it, 527 00:24:45,213 --> 00:24:48,173 Speaker 2: But a whole lot of people put the effort into 528 00:24:48,253 --> 00:24:51,733 Speaker 2: not doing it because they hate the whole thing, which 529 00:24:51,773 --> 00:24:53,373 Speaker 2: is interesting. I didn't know that. 530 00:24:53,573 --> 00:24:56,173 Speaker 3: Very Yeah, but I do wonder with this new approach 531 00:24:56,573 --> 00:25:00,013 Speaker 3: whether they're going to have access to more information about people. 532 00:25:00,053 --> 00:25:02,253 Speaker 3: That is the ironic thing that I think having more 533 00:25:02,293 --> 00:25:05,333 Speaker 3: access to government departments that traditionally keep it within that 534 00:25:05,373 --> 00:25:07,693 Speaker 3: department and only they can see it on your behalf, 535 00:25:08,333 --> 00:25:10,293 Speaker 3: eventually that gets opened up to more well. 536 00:25:10,813 --> 00:25:12,293 Speaker 2: As I was saying, before the Woe and the Week 537 00:25:12,293 --> 00:25:15,853 Speaker 2: computer was attacked in nineteen eighty two by Neil Roberts, 538 00:25:15,853 --> 00:25:18,453 Speaker 2: a twenty two year old because it contained this information 539 00:25:18,533 --> 00:25:25,613 Speaker 2: on US transport courts and corrections information, fire incences, traffic offending, 540 00:25:25,933 --> 00:25:29,173 Speaker 2: your motor license number, and driver's license, and that was 541 00:25:29,293 --> 00:25:31,813 Speaker 2: enough back then for someone to go this is a 542 00:25:31,893 --> 00:25:34,333 Speaker 2: massive breach of my rights them having all this information 543 00:25:34,413 --> 00:25:36,333 Speaker 2: and blow themselves up at the door of it. Yes, 544 00:25:36,653 --> 00:25:38,653 Speaker 2: but a lot of people seem to be quite happy 545 00:25:38,653 --> 00:25:40,133 Speaker 2: that the government's got that much information on. 546 00:25:40,173 --> 00:25:40,973 Speaker 3: Us now exactly. 547 00:25:41,053 --> 00:25:42,413 Speaker 2: Oh, I tell you what. A lot of people seem 548 00:25:42,573 --> 00:25:44,532 Speaker 2: quite happy to put nearly all their information up on 549 00:25:44,533 --> 00:25:45,093 Speaker 2: social media. 550 00:25:45,173 --> 00:25:52,853 Speaker 12: They certainly do. Craig, how are you ged a Craig, Craig, 551 00:25:53,813 --> 00:25:56,093 Speaker 12: Greggy waggy Craig, Greg? 552 00:25:56,413 --> 00:25:56,973 Speaker 3: Are you teaching? 553 00:25:58,173 --> 00:26:01,933 Speaker 9: There is I must be a cloud hopper, but I'm 554 00:26:01,973 --> 00:26:03,133 Speaker 9: a birth guye. 555 00:26:03,013 --> 00:26:04,533 Speaker 3: And there's cloud hopper behavior, Craig. 556 00:26:05,053 --> 00:26:08,013 Speaker 9: Look, I sat down, opened up the census, read it 557 00:26:08,133 --> 00:26:11,853 Speaker 9: all and put it in the fireplace. I went goring 558 00:26:11,933 --> 00:26:13,893 Speaker 9: to fill it out. And I think the new system 559 00:26:13,933 --> 00:26:15,653 Speaker 9: is a lot better. But I don't think they will be. 560 00:26:17,093 --> 00:26:19,373 Speaker 9: You know, if they want health questions, I'll go to 561 00:26:19,453 --> 00:26:23,293 Speaker 9: practitioners or wide amount of health or whatever and now go, okay, 562 00:26:24,733 --> 00:26:26,733 Speaker 9: that what's the percent of the people that are being 563 00:26:27,893 --> 00:26:30,053 Speaker 9: monitored for bal cancer and that kind of thing. You'll 564 00:26:30,093 --> 00:26:33,413 Speaker 9: get percentages. You're not going to get individuals called out. 565 00:26:34,493 --> 00:26:37,773 Speaker 9: And that's the same as within that revenue. You'll get 566 00:26:37,813 --> 00:26:41,333 Speaker 9: percentages of people that earn certain amounts in that, but 567 00:26:41,813 --> 00:26:44,173 Speaker 9: putting your name on it. And I've got to admit 568 00:26:44,253 --> 00:26:48,333 Speaker 9: probably since COVID, well, since they're just into a Duran government, 569 00:26:49,493 --> 00:26:54,213 Speaker 9: I lost all faith in government. And I think a 570 00:26:54,253 --> 00:26:57,133 Speaker 9: lot of Kiwis are along the same line. They just 571 00:26:57,173 --> 00:26:58,413 Speaker 9: don't trust government now. 572 00:26:59,573 --> 00:26:59,653 Speaker 1: And. 573 00:27:01,333 --> 00:27:04,173 Speaker 9: The least amount of information they get with my name 574 00:27:04,253 --> 00:27:05,413 Speaker 9: attached the better. 575 00:27:06,253 --> 00:27:06,373 Speaker 13: Right. 576 00:27:06,493 --> 00:27:09,013 Speaker 2: That's interesting? And when you say so you got sent 577 00:27:09,133 --> 00:27:11,653 Speaker 2: a paper you did a paper census that you threw 578 00:27:11,693 --> 00:27:13,613 Speaker 2: in the bin. Was that a metaphorical throwing it in 579 00:27:13,693 --> 00:27:14,933 Speaker 2: the in the fire from you? 580 00:27:15,333 --> 00:27:16,893 Speaker 9: No, No, we've got we've got a we've got a 581 00:27:16,933 --> 00:27:20,693 Speaker 9: paper one. And then about it's a couple of weeks 582 00:27:20,733 --> 00:27:23,413 Speaker 9: three weeks after and people pulled up the driveway and 583 00:27:23,493 --> 00:27:25,733 Speaker 9: they had paper one saying we hadn't filed it out 584 00:27:27,093 --> 00:27:28,813 Speaker 9: or actually we posted it and and they left and 585 00:27:28,853 --> 00:27:34,253 Speaker 9: it went in then serator. But because I don't trust 586 00:27:34,293 --> 00:27:38,013 Speaker 9: government now, I don't, But I don't mind the maxis 587 00:27:38,093 --> 00:27:40,093 Speaker 9: in my details without the name attached. 588 00:27:40,453 --> 00:27:43,813 Speaker 2: Right, yeah, Now, what about I brought this up a 589 00:27:43,853 --> 00:27:46,173 Speaker 2: couple of times, so I might be repeating myself. But 590 00:27:46,493 --> 00:27:48,613 Speaker 2: the one question that stood out to me, which seemed 591 00:27:48,653 --> 00:27:51,093 Speaker 2: to be helpful that the government would not be able 592 00:27:51,173 --> 00:27:54,893 Speaker 2: to bring together with the administrative information that they have 593 00:27:54,973 --> 00:27:57,253 Speaker 2: about all of us. Was the question on black mold. 594 00:27:57,773 --> 00:28:00,573 Speaker 2: So black mold is a big issue in housing in 595 00:28:00,653 --> 00:28:03,973 Speaker 2: New Zealand, especially in places I've lived in the South Island, 596 00:28:05,733 --> 00:28:08,093 Speaker 2: and so they asked, do you have black mold in 597 00:28:08,133 --> 00:28:11,293 Speaker 2: your That's that kind of question. It is pretty handy 598 00:28:11,413 --> 00:28:14,813 Speaker 2: to have someone answer the question, isn't it in the 599 00:28:14,893 --> 00:28:15,453 Speaker 2: census form? 600 00:28:16,573 --> 00:28:18,613 Speaker 9: Look there, I think you should be able to have 601 00:28:19,013 --> 00:28:22,893 Speaker 9: voluntary things that you could possibly go online and if 602 00:28:22,893 --> 00:28:25,133 Speaker 9: you if you've got a concern about black mold and 603 00:28:25,213 --> 00:28:29,493 Speaker 9: you want your concern listed, maybe there's a voluntary a 604 00:28:29,573 --> 00:28:32,253 Speaker 9: website you can go to and it's like a census website, 605 00:28:32,733 --> 00:28:34,373 Speaker 9: but you can do it anonymously. 606 00:28:35,093 --> 00:28:37,853 Speaker 2: That's interesting. So you then you just advertise, Look, if 607 00:28:37,893 --> 00:28:40,773 Speaker 2: you've got these issues, these are the issues that the 608 00:28:41,133 --> 00:28:43,133 Speaker 2: government is worried about, and we want to know the 609 00:28:43,253 --> 00:28:46,533 Speaker 2: areas where this is a problem. Advertise that, go online 610 00:28:46,733 --> 00:28:49,213 Speaker 2: and click and if these problems are in your area, 611 00:28:49,373 --> 00:28:51,013 Speaker 2: you sort of flip it around the other way. 612 00:28:51,173 --> 00:28:53,653 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean there's no perfect system, but 613 00:28:53,733 --> 00:28:57,613 Speaker 9: I think there is a lot of trust been lost 614 00:28:57,853 --> 00:28:59,933 Speaker 9: between society and government. 615 00:29:00,253 --> 00:29:03,133 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely seems to be a long time. Judging by 616 00:29:03,173 --> 00:29:05,773 Speaker 2: this text machine, there definitely seems to people people that 617 00:29:05,853 --> 00:29:08,933 Speaker 2: were just like yourself. I'm not calling that out for 618 00:29:08,973 --> 00:29:10,573 Speaker 2: you guys, because I don't trust you in your It was. 619 00:29:10,533 --> 00:29:13,173 Speaker 3: A protests element, absolutely get there. But Craig, genuinely because 620 00:29:13,173 --> 00:29:15,093 Speaker 3: the one we do know and has been mentioned by 621 00:29:15,133 --> 00:29:18,053 Speaker 3: the Minister is ird's information that it's got on you. 622 00:29:18,253 --> 00:29:20,693 Speaker 3: So that is using your name on how much you earn, 623 00:29:20,733 --> 00:29:23,813 Speaker 3: how much text you're paying. You know what if you've 624 00:29:23,813 --> 00:29:26,853 Speaker 3: got trusts under your name, are you comfortable with Stats 625 00:29:26,893 --> 00:29:28,413 Speaker 3: New Zealand accessing that information? 626 00:29:29,493 --> 00:29:32,293 Speaker 9: Look, they will, the government will get that. If they 627 00:29:32,373 --> 00:29:35,693 Speaker 9: want that information, they'll get it. They don't need me 628 00:29:35,853 --> 00:29:36,413 Speaker 9: to tell them. 629 00:29:36,613 --> 00:29:36,813 Speaker 5: Yeah. 630 00:29:37,413 --> 00:29:40,933 Speaker 2: And also and also why do they trust us to 631 00:29:41,013 --> 00:29:43,653 Speaker 2: tell the truth? I mean we all remember those campaigns 632 00:29:43,693 --> 00:29:46,933 Speaker 2: to get Jedi as one of the major religions or 633 00:29:46,973 --> 00:29:48,813 Speaker 2: one to register as a religion in New Zealand. I 634 00:29:48,853 --> 00:29:50,853 Speaker 2: think it had to be over a certain percentage before 635 00:29:50,893 --> 00:29:53,013 Speaker 2: it was listed in the in the stats. And so 636 00:29:53,373 --> 00:29:55,893 Speaker 2: there was this whole campaign to put your religion as Jedi. Right, 637 00:29:56,373 --> 00:29:59,293 Speaker 2: So if that is out there. How could Stats New 638 00:29:59,333 --> 00:30:02,173 Speaker 2: Zealand even trust the information that's come through. Maybe I 639 00:30:02,693 --> 00:30:04,253 Speaker 2: was sitting there. I'm sitting there and I feel it 640 00:30:04,293 --> 00:30:05,733 Speaker 2: makes me feel a little bit better to pretend to 641 00:30:05,773 --> 00:30:07,613 Speaker 2: be richer than I am on the census to so 642 00:30:07,973 --> 00:30:09,893 Speaker 2: it's point just so I feel a little bit better 643 00:30:09,893 --> 00:30:11,093 Speaker 2: about myself or something, you know. 644 00:30:11,933 --> 00:30:15,493 Speaker 9: Oh, one hundred percent, And it's just you know, people 645 00:30:15,573 --> 00:30:19,013 Speaker 9: are doing something out of they don't want to do it, 646 00:30:19,173 --> 00:30:21,333 Speaker 9: they feel legally they have to do it. They're not 647 00:30:21,373 --> 00:30:24,693 Speaker 9: going to be one hundred percent honest, and some people 648 00:30:24,813 --> 00:30:28,093 Speaker 9: just won't do it. The more you know, I had 649 00:30:28,733 --> 00:30:31,813 Speaker 9: the system that is being mooted as the best system 650 00:30:33,373 --> 00:30:38,373 Speaker 9: and go for me and mate, it's yeah, at least 651 00:30:38,413 --> 00:30:39,933 Speaker 9: I have to do with government for better. 652 00:30:40,293 --> 00:30:41,853 Speaker 2: Good on you, Craig, thank you for the call. Well, 653 00:30:41,853 --> 00:30:43,853 Speaker 2: I'm not sure if I'm let's not saying good on 654 00:30:43,933 --> 00:30:45,693 Speaker 2: you for having listed with the government. I'm not sure 655 00:30:45,693 --> 00:30:47,333 Speaker 2: where I sit on that one. But good on you 656 00:30:47,413 --> 00:30:49,293 Speaker 2: for your call and having such a strong opinion on it. 657 00:30:49,413 --> 00:30:50,933 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the one I one hundred and eighty ten. 658 00:30:50,933 --> 00:30:53,293 Speaker 2: I mean, ideally, we'd want a government that we that 659 00:30:53,373 --> 00:30:56,533 Speaker 2: we trust and we and that we know we'll do 660 00:30:56,613 --> 00:30:58,093 Speaker 2: the best for us, but a lot of people don't 661 00:30:58,093 --> 00:30:58,733 Speaker 2: think that's the case. 662 00:30:58,853 --> 00:31:00,973 Speaker 3: Certainly been eroded over the last few years. 663 00:31:01,493 --> 00:31:03,853 Speaker 2: Adrian says, black mold was recently found to be no 664 00:31:03,973 --> 00:31:06,933 Speaker 2: more harmful than any other mold. It was a misdiagnosis 665 00:31:07,013 --> 00:31:09,813 Speaker 2: from a study done in the American eighties, since proven 666 00:31:09,893 --> 00:31:10,413 Speaker 2: to be false. 667 00:31:11,093 --> 00:31:14,333 Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know, Adrian. You need to come and studio. 668 00:31:14,413 --> 00:31:15,893 Speaker 3: We'll have some black mold for you and you can 669 00:31:15,933 --> 00:31:17,333 Speaker 3: eat it in front of us and we'll see how. 670 00:31:17,333 --> 00:31:17,973 Speaker 4: You go there. 671 00:31:18,493 --> 00:31:20,453 Speaker 2: I trust that I've been spending quite a lot of 672 00:31:20,493 --> 00:31:22,453 Speaker 2: my life worried about black mold. It turns out I 673 00:31:22,493 --> 00:31:24,773 Speaker 2: didn't need to anyway. I'll look into that. 674 00:31:25,133 --> 00:31:26,653 Speaker 3: Yeah.

The studio was starting to feel 911 00:42:22,093 --> 00:42:24,172 Speaker 3: a little bit like bath Alona, and that is kind 912 00:42:24,213 --> 00:42:26,093 Speaker 3: of what we're talking about. So the square guns have 913 00:42:26,213 --> 00:42:29,933 Speaker 3: returned to the streets in Spain as thousands gathered for 914 00:42:29,973 --> 00:42:32,893 Speaker 3: the long planned protests against mass tourism and cities across 915 00:42:32,933 --> 00:42:36,733 Speaker 3: southern Europe. Same in Genoa, in Italy and Lisbon and Portugal, 916 00:42:37,373 --> 00:42:40,653 Speaker 3: and also at the Louver, the world's most visited museum, 917 00:42:40,733 --> 00:42:43,773 Speaker 3: it has now closed its doors. Staff as striking. They 918 00:42:43,893 --> 00:42:47,213 Speaker 3: say the institution is crumbling under the weight of mass tourism. 919 00:42:47,973 --> 00:42:49,573 Speaker 3: So the question we want to put to you is 920 00:42:50,373 --> 00:42:52,693 Speaker 3: have you actually been to any any of these sites? 921 00:42:52,733 --> 00:42:55,413 Speaker 3: Have you been to Bathlona, have you been to Italy? 922 00:42:55,493 --> 00:42:57,453 Speaker 3: Have you been to Lisbon? Have you been to the Coliseum? 923 00:42:57,733 --> 00:42:58,812 Speaker 3: Have you been to the Louver? 924 00:42:58,933 --> 00:42:59,693 Speaker 4: And what was it like? 925 00:42:59,893 --> 00:43:02,133 Speaker 3: Was it cram full of tourists? What was the response 926 00:43:02,293 --> 00:43:04,773 Speaker 3: like from the locals? Did you feel their wrath? Did 927 00:43:04,813 --> 00:43:07,733 Speaker 3: you feel unwelcome at those particular places? 928 00:43:08,413 --> 00:43:10,493 Speaker 2: Because I've heard some horror stories from friends that were 929 00:43:10,573 --> 00:43:13,533 Speaker 2: recently visiting the Colisseum and they see it. It's just 930 00:43:14,013 --> 00:43:17,813 Speaker 2: freaking horrible, absolutely rammed trying to get in. There's people 931 00:43:17,933 --> 00:43:21,893 Speaker 2: running scams on you NonStop. And I you know, I 932 00:43:22,013 --> 00:43:23,733 Speaker 2: was in Paris at the end of last year and 933 00:43:24,773 --> 00:43:30,173 Speaker 2: wherever you go there's people running socricuur up socricu, you know, 934 00:43:30,613 --> 00:43:33,652 Speaker 2: re enacting for a video the fight scene from john 935 00:43:33,693 --> 00:43:37,573 Speaker 2: Wick four. But there was just so many people there 936 00:43:37,973 --> 00:43:40,812 Speaker 2: and so many scams being run. There were people coming 937 00:43:40,893 --> 00:43:44,853 Speaker 2: up and they were saying, you know, sign this, you know, 938 00:43:44,973 --> 00:43:47,933 Speaker 2: sign this petition to save soccer CLU and then and 939 00:43:48,013 --> 00:43:49,613 Speaker 2: then when you sign it, they say, well at the 940 00:43:49,613 --> 00:43:52,733 Speaker 2: bottom it says you that's twenty euros donation and then 941 00:43:52,773 --> 00:43:55,133 Speaker 2: they do, you know, standover tactics to get get the 942 00:43:55,573 --> 00:43:58,813 Speaker 2: get the money off you. So but is it just 943 00:43:59,093 --> 00:44:01,653 Speaker 2: too horrible to go to those places now? Is it 944 00:44:01,893 --> 00:44:04,573 Speaker 2: just too intense to go to the full tourist traps 945 00:44:04,893 --> 00:44:09,733 Speaker 2: of Europe? And second question, we're sitting eighty percent levels, 946 00:44:09,773 --> 00:44:12,213 Speaker 2: I believe just looking at the most recent stats of 947 00:44:12,373 --> 00:44:14,853 Speaker 2: pre COVID tourism levels to New Zealand, and before COVID 948 00:44:14,973 --> 00:44:16,652 Speaker 2: there was talk that we had too many tourists come 949 00:44:16,653 --> 00:44:20,773 Speaker 2: into our country there was would have people flipped on 950 00:44:20,853 --> 00:44:23,453 Speaker 2: that now and would we just desperately love to have 951 00:44:23,693 --> 00:44:26,733 Speaker 2: ridiculous amounts of tourists in the country blocking all our services. 952 00:44:27,013 --> 00:44:28,853 Speaker 3: I think we've got short memories because now we're at 953 00:44:28,893 --> 00:44:31,333 Speaker 3: eighty percent and we need some more tourists coming in 954 00:44:31,453 --> 00:44:33,613 Speaker 3: so we can fleece them, as you've mentioned before, and 955 00:44:33,693 --> 00:44:36,573 Speaker 3: take more money off them. But you're right, places like Queenstown, 956 00:44:36,813 --> 00:44:40,613 Speaker 3: the Mackenzie District, rotorua Wanakat, a lot of the locals 957 00:44:40,653 --> 00:44:42,692 Speaker 3: were screaming saying no more tourists. But I think that's 958 00:44:42,773 --> 00:44:45,333 Speaker 3: drastically changed. You'd hope so. But then when they come 959 00:44:45,373 --> 00:44:48,373 Speaker 3: in again and we're at two hundred percent capacity of tourists, 960 00:44:48,773 --> 00:44:51,053 Speaker 3: guarantee people will get their quirt guns out and go 961 00:44:51,293 --> 00:44:52,172 Speaker 3: South European on them. 962 00:44:52,213 --> 00:44:54,212 Speaker 2: Well, you can see, you know, the point of view 963 00:44:54,253 --> 00:44:56,853 Speaker 2: from people in Buffalona, and it's similar to people that 964 00:44:56,893 --> 00:44:59,573 Speaker 2: live in Queenstown, the right payers of somewhere like Queenstown 965 00:44:59,893 --> 00:45:02,053 Speaker 2: that you know there's a small rate paying pool and 966 00:45:02,133 --> 00:45:05,573 Speaker 2: then there's just thousands and thousands and thousands of people 967 00:45:05,653 --> 00:45:08,973 Speaker 2: coming into the country and going straight to queen and 968 00:45:09,053 --> 00:45:13,093 Speaker 2: they use the facilities they test the infrastructure, but don't 969 00:45:13,093 --> 00:45:15,813 Speaker 2: pay the rates to be there so you can you 970 00:45:15,893 --> 00:45:18,772 Speaker 2: can see if it gets too big. And then there's 971 00:45:18,773 --> 00:45:21,373 Speaker 2: a problem with tourism in New Zealand and tourism in 972 00:45:21,413 --> 00:45:23,333 Speaker 2: Europe as people just go to the same places. It's 973 00:45:23,373 --> 00:45:26,453 Speaker 2: not equal distantly spread out across the whole place. 974 00:45:26,333 --> 00:45:26,493 Speaker 4: Is it. 975 00:45:26,613 --> 00:45:28,493 Speaker 3: Yeah?

But the 1043 00:48:37,373 --> 00:48:39,933 Speaker 19: big key to all of these places, whether it be 1044 00:48:40,093 --> 00:48:43,133 Speaker 19: Rome or Barcelona or whatever, if you want to do 1045 00:48:43,253 --> 00:48:44,933 Speaker 19: the tourist thing, you've got to be out there at 1046 00:48:44,973 --> 00:48:48,252 Speaker 19: seven in the morning, do it first thing, right, Yeah, 1047 00:48:49,493 --> 00:48:51,812 Speaker 19: because Europeans tend to like to sleep in a little 1048 00:48:51,813 --> 00:48:54,692 Speaker 19: bit and you know, they're not out in about till 1049 00:48:54,733 --> 00:48:58,493 Speaker 19: nine or ten. And yeah, we've never you know, roam. 1050 00:48:58,573 --> 00:49:00,573 Speaker 19: None of it was really a big problem. The Mouseea 1051 00:49:00,613 --> 00:49:04,213 Speaker 19: Coast was traffic wise. Driving It was a little bit 1052 00:49:04,213 --> 00:49:09,093 Speaker 19: of an issue just because they're crazy. But yeah, and 1053 00:49:09,493 --> 00:49:12,453 Speaker 19: I currently live in Queenstown uh and a half years 1054 00:49:12,653 --> 00:49:15,773 Speaker 19: and the biggest problems here traffic ways are caused by 1055 00:49:16,293 --> 00:49:18,653 Speaker 19: all the construction. I'm in construction. All the trade is 1056 00:49:18,693 --> 00:49:20,373 Speaker 19: going to work at you know, seven thirty eight in 1057 00:49:20,413 --> 00:49:22,093 Speaker 19: the Morning's traffic jown, not the turs. 1058 00:49:22,933 --> 00:49:26,093 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, So you're you're you're a Queenstown resident, and 1059 00:49:26,333 --> 00:49:28,453 Speaker 2: you think that you've got room for more tourists to 1060 00:49:28,533 --> 00:49:29,933 Speaker 2: start coming back into the system. 1061 00:49:31,173 --> 00:49:36,613 Speaker 19: Absolutely, moral hotels being built, the roadworks are still you 1062 00:49:36,653 --> 00:49:40,133 Speaker 19: know an issue from the airport into the township. So 1063 00:49:40,253 --> 00:49:43,413 Speaker 19: they really do need to work on their tme putting 1064 00:49:43,453 --> 00:49:50,253 Speaker 19: an aerial skyway in or yeah, from the airport to downtown. 1065 00:49:50,333 --> 00:49:54,293 Speaker 2: I'm excited to go on left. Yeah yeah, Now now 1066 00:49:54,373 --> 00:49:56,893 Speaker 2: you're right, payer Hugh in that area. 1067 00:49:57,373 --> 00:49:59,493 Speaker 19: Absolutely absolutely, And so. 1068 00:49:59,533 --> 00:50:01,933 Speaker 2: Because that's some some of the complaints before COVID anywhere 1069 00:50:01,973 --> 00:50:05,093 Speaker 2: we're from right pays. That's saying that a small population 1070 00:50:05,213 --> 00:50:07,893 Speaker 2: of right paths we're having to cover the infrastructure to 1071 00:50:08,133 --> 00:50:12,133 Speaker 2: you of just teens and teens of thousands of tourists 1072 00:50:12,213 --> 00:50:14,453 Speaker 2: coming into the city, but you know into the area 1073 00:50:14,493 --> 00:50:15,813 Speaker 2: does that but that doesn't bother you. 1074 00:50:17,773 --> 00:50:17,893 Speaker 1: Uh. 1075 00:50:18,013 --> 00:50:19,933 Speaker 19: And in the sense that those tens and tens of 1076 00:50:20,013 --> 00:50:23,893 Speaker 19: thousands of tourists bring in the money, you know, without them, 1077 00:50:23,973 --> 00:50:27,933 Speaker 19: this town wouldn't exist. So people need to keep that 1078 00:50:28,053 --> 00:50:29,893 Speaker 19: in the back of their mind that we are a 1079 00:50:29,933 --> 00:50:33,133 Speaker 19: tourist based town whether we like it or not. And 1080 00:50:33,453 --> 00:50:35,093 Speaker 19: it is a stunning place to live. 1081 00:50:35,813 --> 00:50:35,933 Speaker 18: Uh. 1082 00:50:36,213 --> 00:50:38,453 Speaker 19: And I don't think our rates are not much higher 1083 00:50:38,493 --> 00:50:39,373 Speaker 19: than Auckland rates. 1084 00:50:39,893 --> 00:50:43,093 Speaker 2: Get that off right, And so you were you in 1085 00:50:43,213 --> 00:50:49,213 Speaker 2: Queenstown pre COVID, Yes, so what about that level of tourism? 1086 00:50:49,293 --> 00:50:51,653 Speaker 2: Would you want to go above that level of tourism? 1087 00:50:51,893 --> 00:50:53,853 Speaker 2: Would you think that was heading a peak at that point? 1088 00:50:56,573 --> 00:50:56,933 Speaker 1: Rarely? 1089 00:50:57,613 --> 00:51:00,253 Speaker 19: So, as most locals, we don't tend to go to 1090 00:51:00,373 --> 00:51:02,773 Speaker 19: the waterfront and Queenstown. Yeah, we don't need to go 1091 00:51:02,853 --> 00:51:07,253 Speaker 19: there for shopping. We've got Frankdin or five mile remarkables 1092 00:51:07,293 --> 00:51:11,013 Speaker 19: areas that we can access everything we need. But it 1093 00:51:11,133 --> 00:51:14,853 Speaker 19: is quite fun to be when visitors come to see us, 1094 00:51:14,933 --> 00:51:17,853 Speaker 19: to go downtown and be a tourist and get the buzz. 1095 00:51:18,613 --> 00:51:21,613 Speaker 19: And it's still not that I think there are at 1096 00:51:21,613 --> 00:51:25,733 Speaker 19: the occasional school holidays for instance, art but you know 1097 00:51:25,893 --> 00:51:28,413 Speaker 19: right now when if he went down at six of 1098 00:51:28,453 --> 00:51:29,013 Speaker 19: what that name. 1099 00:51:29,213 --> 00:51:31,573 Speaker 3: Yes, the balance is always there here, isn't it with 1100 00:51:31,653 --> 00:51:34,093 Speaker 3: a place like Queenstown. And as you say, arguably you 1101 00:51:34,133 --> 00:51:35,653 Speaker 3: could do with some more tourists coming in there and 1102 00:51:35,733 --> 00:51:37,573 Speaker 3: spending money. That was good for all the businesses and 1103 00:51:37,613 --> 00:51:40,173 Speaker 3: good for everybody, but their balance of looking after the 1104 00:51:40,253 --> 00:51:43,053 Speaker 3: locals who still spend money in the cafes and restaurants 1105 00:51:43,093 --> 00:51:47,053 Speaker 3: and making sure it's accessible for them, but also accommodating 1106 00:51:47,133 --> 00:51:49,413 Speaker 3: for the tourists. That's always that fine balance, and that 1107 00:51:49,733 --> 00:51:52,493 Speaker 3: was my understanding of some of the concern before COVID, 1108 00:51:52,493 --> 00:51:54,053 Speaker 3: when it was starting to heave at the seam a 1109 00:51:54,093 --> 00:51:54,453 Speaker 3: little bit. 1110 00:51:56,093 --> 00:52:01,613 Speaker 19: I think the bigger issues probably around affordable housing. You know, 1111 00:52:01,653 --> 00:52:05,453 Speaker 19: I'm fortunate enough to own property, but for a lot 1112 00:52:05,533 --> 00:52:11,373 Speaker 19: of people on a hospitality income, having some places to 1113 00:52:11,453 --> 00:52:12,453 Speaker 19: live is very tough. 1114 00:52:12,573 --> 00:52:14,133 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, of course, Thank you so much for 1115 00:52:14,173 --> 00:52:16,133 Speaker 2: your call.

Is that what you call Las vegaans yep. 1120 00:52:28,093 --> 00:52:30,292 Speaker 2: And they never go to the Strip, but the Strip 1121 00:52:30,413 --> 00:52:33,693 Speaker 2: is absolutely Their idea of Las Vegas is just a suburban, 1122 00:52:33,893 --> 00:52:37,653 Speaker 2: nice schools, nice town place to live. They have absolutely 1123 00:52:37,733 --> 00:52:39,293 Speaker 2: nothing to do with the sin city part of it 1124 00:52:39,413 --> 00:52:42,173 Speaker 2: and would never go there.

So you 1174 00:54:40,693 --> 00:54:43,373 Speaker 2: enter the Louver in October last year, I believe. 1175 00:54:43,933 --> 00:54:47,093 Speaker 17: Yes, during our New Zealand school holidays, just we're lucky 1176 00:54:47,173 --> 00:54:50,053 Speaker 17: enough to have a couple of friends and family to 1177 00:54:50,253 --> 00:54:54,413 Speaker 17: stay with for a very quick trip, and didn't do everything, 1178 00:54:54,533 --> 00:54:58,173 Speaker 17: but booked a time slot about a week before, and 1179 00:54:58,933 --> 00:55:01,933 Speaker 17: it was admittedly an afternoon slot, like three o'clock or something, 1180 00:55:02,053 --> 00:55:06,732 Speaker 17: and then one day during the week and stood in line, 1181 00:55:06,853 --> 00:55:09,653 Speaker 17: got in. But it was insane. But my point the 1182 00:55:09,693 --> 00:55:11,733 Speaker 17: reason I ran saying, you know, even though we booked 1183 00:55:11,733 --> 00:55:13,493 Speaker 17: a time slot thinking that would save us hours in 1184 00:55:13,493 --> 00:55:14,973 Speaker 17: a cure, it probably saved us a couple of hours 1185 00:55:15,013 --> 00:55:18,413 Speaker 17: in a que But it was extraordinarily busy. I had 1186 00:55:18,453 --> 00:55:21,053 Speaker 17: been lucky enough to be in two thousand and five, 1187 00:55:21,933 --> 00:55:24,013 Speaker 17: two thousand and four, it was only the time then, 1188 00:55:24,093 --> 00:55:26,773 Speaker 17: and I remember being busy, and that was like the beginning. 1189 00:55:26,893 --> 00:55:29,173 Speaker 17: That was April in the morning, you know, Like, so 1190 00:55:30,093 --> 00:55:33,973 Speaker 17: I guess these places are this yeah, overrun. I'd like 1191 00:55:34,093 --> 00:55:36,173 Speaker 17: to say too that I felt that it wasn't. It 1192 00:55:36,293 --> 00:55:39,213 Speaker 17: wasn't the museums and stuff in Europe, the couple of 1193 00:55:39,293 --> 00:55:41,013 Speaker 17: ones I went to this time with my children. It 1194 00:55:41,053 --> 00:55:43,933 Speaker 17: didn't seem particularly expensive, you know, I felt it was 1195 00:55:44,013 --> 00:55:46,533 Speaker 17: quite RESTful, and maybe that's part of a problem, you know, 1196 00:55:46,573 --> 00:55:50,053 Speaker 17: they want to keep it accessible, but yeah, yeah it was. 1197 00:55:50,253 --> 00:55:50,453 Speaker 22: It was. 1198 00:55:51,293 --> 00:55:54,173 Speaker 17: It was insane in the sort of auditorium area of 1199 00:55:54,253 --> 00:55:57,573 Speaker 17: the love that that afternoon inside. Once you got in, 1200 00:55:57,693 --> 00:56:01,652 Speaker 17: you sort of yeah, it was yeah, crazy, thousands of people. 1201 00:56:01,973 --> 00:56:05,973 Speaker 2: So was this thousands and thousands of art lovers that 1202 00:56:06,093 --> 00:56:09,493 Speaker 2: are packing in there to stand back from look through 1203 00:56:09,533 --> 00:56:11,772 Speaker 2: all the paintings and observe them for a long period 1204 00:56:11,813 --> 00:56:13,652 Speaker 2: of time. Was it just a mob trying to see 1205 00:56:13,653 --> 00:56:14,293 Speaker 2: the Mona Lisa. 1206 00:56:15,653 --> 00:56:19,693 Speaker 17: Well, most, I would say a good portion were exactly 1207 00:56:19,813 --> 00:56:24,453 Speaker 17: just making a beeline for the Mona Lisa. But and 1208 00:56:24,493 --> 00:56:26,093 Speaker 17: then of course they'd like to move you on from that, 1209 00:56:26,253 --> 00:56:28,053 Speaker 17: Like you don't get to stand back and appreciate it 1210 00:56:28,093 --> 00:56:30,253 Speaker 17: because you're kind of moved on quite quickly, you know, 1211 00:56:30,413 --> 00:56:32,973 Speaker 17: like because there's just like this wave of people coming 1212 00:56:33,013 --> 00:56:33,533 Speaker 17: into the room. 1213 00:56:33,813 --> 00:56:35,813 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not to move on. And this is going 1214 00:56:35,853 --> 00:56:38,053 Speaker 2: to be controversial, but it's not even that good the moment. 1215 00:56:39,133 --> 00:56:41,172 Speaker 2: I mean, the only reason why we believe that it's 1216 00:56:41,253 --> 00:56:43,133 Speaker 2: the greatest painting in the world is it was stolen 1217 00:56:43,173 --> 00:56:45,533 Speaker 2: at one point and it was a news story that 1218 00:56:45,573 --> 00:56:47,812 Speaker 2: went around the world. And then that at that point, 1219 00:56:47,813 --> 00:56:49,692 Speaker 2: before it was stolen, it was down in a little 1220 00:56:49,773 --> 00:56:52,133 Speaker 2: corner in the louver and it wasn't even considered a 1221 00:56:52,213 --> 00:56:55,373 Speaker 2: very significant da Vinci. And then it was necked and 1222 00:56:55,373 --> 00:56:57,252 Speaker 2: then the stories went round this is the greatest painting 1223 00:56:57,293 --> 00:57:00,013 Speaker 2: in the world, and it just became incredibly famous. But 1224 00:57:00,093 --> 00:57:03,453 Speaker 2: I mean there's there's more amazing things in the louver. 1225 00:57:03,533 --> 00:57:06,772 Speaker 2: I mean, the Venus de Milo's in there, yep, yep. 1226 00:57:07,053 --> 00:57:09,133 Speaker 17: No lots of things to look at, but the thing, yeah, 1227 00:57:09,213 --> 00:57:16,173 Speaker 17: and lots of different era you know, different time frames 1228 00:57:16,253 --> 00:57:18,253 Speaker 17: and stuff like that, you know, throughout history to see, 1229 00:57:18,493 --> 00:57:21,773 Speaker 17: you know, and so but I guess, yeah, just that 1230 00:57:21,933 --> 00:57:26,613 Speaker 17: that just creates, yes, created its own problem, and there's 1231 00:57:27,093 --> 00:57:28,933 Speaker 17: like and also the other thing is that you couldn't 1232 00:57:28,933 --> 00:57:30,933 Speaker 17: even if you wanted to do it properly, of course, 1233 00:57:30,973 --> 00:57:33,333 Speaker 17: even a day, it's not really not even enough. 1234 00:57:33,693 --> 00:57:36,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, if you wanted to spend ten minutes looking at 1235 00:57:36,253 --> 00:57:39,853 Speaker 2: each painting, like you should possibly give it the time 1236 00:57:39,973 --> 00:57:44,613 Speaker 2: to fully sort of understand and observe the painting, then 1237 00:57:44,653 --> 00:57:46,533 Speaker 2: you would be in there for a lifetime. 1238 00:57:47,773 --> 00:57:49,573 Speaker 17: Yeah, So you know, that was just it was when 1239 00:57:49,613 --> 00:57:51,533 Speaker 17: you mentioned the louver, I said, I'd call because yeah, 1240 00:57:51,533 --> 00:57:52,813 Speaker 17: we had been there relatively recently. 1241 00:57:53,213 --> 00:57:53,453 Speaker 2: Thank you. 1242 00:57:54,773 --> 00:57:57,933 Speaker 17: But can I just say one thing, yeah, one really 1243 00:57:58,013 --> 00:58:00,493 Speaker 17: quickly about content et cetera and the infrastructure and all 1244 00:58:00,493 --> 00:58:02,373 Speaker 17: the rest of it. But I thought that there was 1245 00:58:02,453 --> 00:58:04,973 Speaker 17: a tourist text when you when tourists flew enginews and 1246 00:58:05,373 --> 00:58:08,413 Speaker 17: so I presume the councils can apply for money. I 1247 00:58:08,613 --> 00:58:09,853 Speaker 17: can't remember what it was for. I thought it was 1248 00:58:09,893 --> 00:58:15,053 Speaker 17: for this of creating infrastructure to help with the tourists. 1249 00:58:15,773 --> 00:58:19,173 Speaker 2: To know whether that is allocated for where the tourists go, 1250 00:58:19,653 --> 00:58:21,533 Speaker 2: because it's taken when they arrive in the country. But 1251 00:58:21,733 --> 00:58:25,013 Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised. I don't know, but I can 1252 00:58:25,053 --> 00:58:27,573 Speaker 2: imagine it just going into the system and beings. 1253 00:58:28,293 --> 00:58:30,773 Speaker 3: As I understand it as a contestable fund, so it 1254 00:58:30,853 --> 00:58:34,213 Speaker 3: all goes to Tourism New Zealand and then the regions 1255 00:58:34,413 --> 00:58:36,533 Speaker 3: right contest for the funding that they say they need. 1256 00:58:36,733 --> 00:58:38,693 Speaker 2: Oh that's good, all right, thank you so much for 1257 00:58:38,733 --> 00:58:41,973 Speaker 2: your call, Ruth. I'd like to see the astronomer. You 1258 00:58:42,013 --> 00:58:46,053 Speaker 2: know that picture is Johann Vermier. Just look that's in 1259 00:58:46,093 --> 00:58:48,613 Speaker 2: the louver.

Hey, I remember because obviously listening 1339 01:02:46,253 --> 01:02:48,013 Speaker 5: to your fine radio for a number of years now, 1340 01:02:48,053 --> 01:02:50,773 Speaker 5: well they've been driving around and of course different presenters 1341 01:02:50,813 --> 01:02:54,413 Speaker 5: back in the day raised the issues around tourism being 1342 01:02:54,453 --> 01:02:56,933 Speaker 5: a big problem in New Zealand and the biggest problem 1343 01:02:57,013 --> 01:03:00,573 Speaker 5: that we had before COVID was the type of tourists 1344 01:03:00,573 --> 01:03:03,013 Speaker 5: we were seeing, so we were the biggest issue was 1345 01:03:03,053 --> 01:03:06,093 Speaker 5: the freedom campers and the juicy rental guys and the 1346 01:03:06,213 --> 01:03:08,733 Speaker 5: only ones that made money off them really pack and 1347 01:03:08,813 --> 01:03:12,733 Speaker 5: save some baked beans and spaghetti. So they were the 1348 01:03:12,773 --> 01:03:15,253 Speaker 5: biggest issue in our country at the time as I 1349 01:03:15,373 --> 01:03:17,733 Speaker 5: remember it. Anyway, it wasn't so much we got a 1350 01:03:17,853 --> 01:03:20,173 Speaker 5: lot of tourists. We just got a particular type of 1351 01:03:20,253 --> 01:03:23,493 Speaker 5: tourist that we're here purely just to drive beat up 1352 01:03:23,533 --> 01:03:28,613 Speaker 5: little vans. Juicies was an upgrade. Let's be honest and 1353 01:03:29,213 --> 01:03:31,133 Speaker 5: be a major problem. Drive on the wrong side of 1354 01:03:31,133 --> 01:03:34,253 Speaker 5: the road too, which is a poor boy. That happened 1355 01:03:34,293 --> 01:03:34,733 Speaker 5: quite a bat. 1356 01:03:34,933 --> 01:03:37,333 Speaker 2: That's not a good, no, it's not. 1357 01:03:37,813 --> 01:03:40,253 Speaker 5: And a lot of the times they didn't even speak 1358 01:03:40,573 --> 01:03:42,533 Speaker 5: our language, you know, because they're from different parts of 1359 01:03:42,573 --> 01:03:44,933 Speaker 5: the world obviously, so made it a little bit hard 1360 01:03:45,013 --> 01:03:47,173 Speaker 5: and challenging with our road rules, I guess, and maybe 1361 01:03:47,213 --> 01:03:49,253 Speaker 5: some of the signs I don't know, but they struggled. 1362 01:03:49,653 --> 01:03:52,413 Speaker 5: But yeah, it was is the way they went about 1363 01:03:52,653 --> 01:03:55,493 Speaker 5: their tourism in our country. So I guess the high 1364 01:03:55,653 --> 01:03:57,493 Speaker 5: end ones. I guess the ones that come here and 1365 01:03:57,973 --> 01:04:00,453 Speaker 5: play goal for whatever else they do. I guess they're 1366 01:04:00,653 --> 01:04:02,653 Speaker 5: they're the ones we probably want because they add to 1367 01:04:02,773 --> 01:04:07,013 Speaker 5: our in our country, don't they? But how do you 1368 01:04:07,053 --> 01:04:07,613 Speaker 5: get money here? 1369 01:04:07,853 --> 01:04:09,173 Speaker 3: How do you do that? 1370 01:04:09,373 --> 01:04:09,533 Speaker 9: Though? 1371 01:04:09,813 --> 01:04:13,053 Speaker 2: How do you restrict urism to the point that you 1372 01:04:13,093 --> 01:04:14,533 Speaker 2: want the ones that are going to spend some money 1373 01:04:14,573 --> 01:04:17,053 Speaker 2: and not mess up the infrastructure and drive on the 1374 01:04:17,173 --> 01:04:18,733 Speaker 2: correct side of the road and stuff. How do you 1375 01:04:19,213 --> 01:04:23,253 Speaker 2: prioritize I guess you could advertise, you know, if we 1376 01:04:23,333 --> 01:04:24,813 Speaker 2: spend a certain amount of money on the one hundred 1377 01:04:24,813 --> 01:04:29,093 Speaker 2: percent pure campaign only in flash magazines. 1378 01:04:29,213 --> 01:04:29,653 Speaker 4: I don't know. 1379 01:04:31,893 --> 01:04:33,573 Speaker 5: I don't think there is an answer to it, lad. 1380 01:04:33,693 --> 01:04:37,453 Speaker 5: We certainly haven't seen that return since COVID. It's certainly 1381 01:04:37,533 --> 01:04:40,733 Speaker 5: not the problem used it was prior. I don't know. 1382 01:04:40,813 --> 01:04:42,493 Speaker 5: It's it's a bit of a word of mouth thing. Hey, 1383 01:04:42,533 --> 01:04:43,893 Speaker 5: you know, a whole bunch of twenty year olds get 1384 01:04:43,893 --> 01:04:45,333 Speaker 5: together and they have a great time, and then they 1385 01:04:45,373 --> 01:04:46,893 Speaker 5: go and tell a whole bunch of other twenty year 1386 01:04:46,893 --> 01:04:48,973 Speaker 5: olds they had a great time, and by all means 1387 01:04:49,013 --> 01:04:50,533 Speaker 5: come to our country and have a great time, because 1388 01:04:50,533 --> 01:04:53,373 Speaker 5: it is fantastic. But what I'm sort of saying here, lads, 1389 01:04:53,453 --> 01:04:56,613 Speaker 5: is that that was the problem that was pre COVID. 1390 01:04:56,893 --> 01:05:00,053 Speaker 5: Before COVID, that was that was the big concern. Everyone 1391 01:05:00,173 --> 01:05:02,533 Speaker 5: got grumpy. You know that these guys were taking poos 1392 01:05:02,573 --> 01:05:05,053 Speaker 5: onside the road, and I can vouch I did see 1393 01:05:05,093 --> 01:05:08,693 Speaker 5: that on State Highway four. Ye campers just taking a 1394 01:05:08,773 --> 01:05:11,013 Speaker 5: dump right on the grass on the edge. 1395 01:05:10,893 --> 01:05:14,693 Speaker 2: Of the road sometimes sometimes you know, being a sometimes 1396 01:05:15,053 --> 01:05:17,013 Speaker 2: that as locals that are doing that. Though we've got it, 1397 01:05:17,053 --> 01:05:19,493 Speaker 2: we can't rule out the disgusting locals that have. 1398 01:05:19,813 --> 01:05:24,413 Speaker 3: Driven to take it on the side of the road too. 1399 01:05:26,533 --> 01:05:30,253 Speaker 2: But what about the segment, Scott. You hear this argument 1400 01:05:30,333 --> 01:05:35,293 Speaker 2: quite a lot that these say American or European backpackers, 1401 01:05:35,333 --> 01:05:37,333 Speaker 2: they come here when they're young and they love it 1402 01:05:37,453 --> 01:05:39,813 Speaker 2: so much. They have such a fantastic time. They're poor 1403 01:05:39,853 --> 01:05:41,973 Speaker 2: at that point, but then they go away, they become 1404 01:05:42,093 --> 01:05:44,573 Speaker 2: wealthy and they talk about their trip to New Zealand 1405 01:05:44,613 --> 01:05:46,853 Speaker 2: so much. They then come back years later with their 1406 01:05:46,933 --> 01:05:51,013 Speaker 2: family and spend up cash. So it's sort of a 1407 01:05:51,093 --> 01:05:52,533 Speaker 2: long game in a way. 1408 01:05:54,053 --> 01:05:55,773 Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess it sort of comes back to what 1409 01:05:55,813 --> 01:05:57,293 Speaker 5: I sort of said, You don't want to turn them away, 1410 01:05:57,333 --> 01:05:59,773 Speaker 5: and we can't write they're allowed to come into our country. 1411 01:05:59,773 --> 01:06:02,213 Speaker 5: They applied for a visa for a holiday and they 1412 01:06:02,253 --> 01:06:04,253 Speaker 5: can come. It doesn't matter now what they're doing if 1413 01:06:04,293 --> 01:06:07,293 Speaker 5: they're driving a you know, a tesla around the countryside, 1414 01:06:07,333 --> 01:06:12,213 Speaker 5: or they're driving a and this and caravan. But you're right, 1415 01:06:12,413 --> 01:06:14,373 Speaker 5: there has to be an environment where one that they 1416 01:06:14,533 --> 01:06:16,293 Speaker 5: enjoy and they want to come back and spend money. 1417 01:06:17,053 --> 01:06:19,453 Speaker 5: I would welcome that. There's no way we can stop it. 1418 01:06:19,813 --> 01:06:22,413 Speaker 5: But I guess you'd look at the Auckland def Sea owner, right, So. 1419 01:06:22,533 --> 01:06:24,173 Speaker 16: He came here on a holiday with an old bunch 1420 01:06:24,173 --> 01:06:27,133 Speaker 16: of tourists, really loved the place, brought wineries and now 1421 01:06:27,173 --> 01:06:29,893 Speaker 16: he's invested with the sports club and he's also going 1422 01:06:29,933 --> 01:06:32,733 Speaker 16: to invest in Auckland infrastructure all on his own. 1423 01:06:33,053 --> 01:06:35,733 Speaker 5: I mean, how fantastic is that? And that's a great 1424 01:06:35,813 --> 01:06:38,853 Speaker 5: advert for New Zealand and about what we can offer 1425 01:06:38,933 --> 01:06:41,533 Speaker 5: people from overseas as a country, a better way of 1426 01:06:41,613 --> 01:06:44,253 Speaker 5: living and a great environment for you for your children 1427 01:06:44,293 --> 01:06:44,733 Speaker 5: to grow up. 1428 01:06:44,773 --> 01:06:46,173 Speaker 2: And so on one hand you've got it, you've got 1429 01:06:46,213 --> 01:06:48,533 Speaker 2: to balance it out. Potentially, Scott, you've got you know, 1430 01:06:49,613 --> 01:06:53,693 Speaker 2: one thousand freedom campers defecating on the side of our 1431 01:06:53,813 --> 01:06:58,533 Speaker 2: roads and one Bill Foley coming here investing in a 1432 01:06:58,693 --> 01:07:02,053 Speaker 2: fantastic football club and then investing in the company. So 1433 01:07:02,493 --> 01:07:06,173 Speaker 2: maybe it's a sort of a driftnet fishing type approach 1434 01:07:06,573 --> 01:07:10,053 Speaker 2: to getting people that actually help the country. And hey, 1435 01:07:10,093 --> 01:07:10,613 Speaker 2: thanks some of it. 1436 01:07:10,813 --> 01:07:12,653 Speaker 5: Some white netlds. 1437 01:07:12,613 --> 01:07:14,213 Speaker 3: Exactly just need the big one. 1438 01:07:14,293 --> 01:07:14,653 Speaker 21: Thanks for you. 1439 01:07:14,733 --> 01:07:15,213 Speaker 2: Call Scott. 1440 01:07:15,333 --> 01:07:17,173 Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the 1441 01:07:17,253 --> 01:07:19,693 Speaker 3: number to call.

And also, if you've been to some of 1445 01:07:26,773 --> 01:07:28,973 Speaker 3: these hot spots in Europe where these mass protests are 1446 01:07:29,013 --> 01:07:31,453 Speaker 3: taking place, what was it like? Was it jam packed 1447 01:07:31,533 --> 01:07:34,933 Speaker 3: full of punishing tourists?

But look, 1484 01:09:36,612 --> 01:09:38,253 Speaker 18: you're kind of going to break it into two things. 1485 01:09:39,452 --> 01:09:39,772 Speaker 5: I guess. 1486 01:09:39,853 --> 01:09:42,053 Speaker 18: First of all, whether Europe we're actually going over and 1487 01:09:42,492 --> 01:09:48,253 Speaker 18: ten days and stuff, And the problem is you alluded 1488 01:09:48,293 --> 01:09:51,412 Speaker 18: to it before. You've got day trippers and influencers who 1489 01:09:51,492 --> 01:09:54,853 Speaker 18: just want to tick a box. Yeah, And then combined 1490 01:09:54,973 --> 01:09:57,053 Speaker 18: with that, you've got the tour groups which are doing 1491 01:09:57,452 --> 01:10:00,053 Speaker 18: like fifty two cities in a week type of thing, 1492 01:10:00,853 --> 01:10:04,173 Speaker 18: and so there's pressure to get somewhere quick and see 1493 01:10:04,253 --> 01:10:07,692 Speaker 18: stuff and then move on. But we've never had a 1494 01:10:08,612 --> 01:10:11,772 Speaker 18: issue because we stay in these places for like four 1495 01:10:11,893 --> 01:10:15,372 Speaker 18: or five, six, seven days, so you can sort of 1496 01:10:15,452 --> 01:10:19,213 Speaker 18: pick and choose when you go to do things and 1497 01:10:19,333 --> 01:10:22,612 Speaker 18: it's much more relaxing than rushing here and rushing there. 1498 01:10:24,612 --> 01:10:28,173 Speaker 18: And as far as New Zealand is concerned, I think 1499 01:10:28,333 --> 01:10:31,053 Speaker 18: pre COVID the issue was with a lot of tour 1500 01:10:31,133 --> 01:10:35,732 Speaker 18: groups coming down here, especially from Asia, where all of 1501 01:10:35,812 --> 01:10:40,053 Speaker 18: the money was spent in Asia and not much was 1502 01:10:40,133 --> 01:10:43,812 Speaker 18: spent here, and they were doing the same thing that 1503 01:10:43,893 --> 01:10:47,812 Speaker 18: were jamming up the infrastructure, if you like, in a 1504 01:10:48,053 --> 01:10:51,133 Speaker 18: push to get around to see things, but all of 1505 01:10:51,173 --> 01:10:53,532 Speaker 18: their money, apart from the odd cup of coffee or 1506 01:10:53,572 --> 01:10:56,612 Speaker 18: souvenir here and there, had already been banked. 1507 01:10:59,133 --> 01:11:02,612 Speaker 2: Saying that is that the fishbowl tour or the glass 1508 01:11:04,173 --> 01:11:05,692 Speaker 2: everything's out of the window of a tour bus. 1509 01:11:06,572 --> 01:11:09,412 Speaker 18: Yeah, that's right exactly that. I mean, like people fly 1510 01:11:09,532 --> 01:11:12,813 Speaker 18: into Aukhan and they do I don't know why tawpet 1511 01:11:12,853 --> 01:11:16,133 Speaker 18: a sort of in three days, you know, But if 1512 01:11:16,133 --> 01:11:18,173 Speaker 18: you get them to stay another day or two days, 1513 01:11:18,652 --> 01:11:20,972 Speaker 18: that makes all the difference because then the money gets 1514 01:11:21,013 --> 01:11:24,852 Speaker 18: spread around locally. It's like it's like if you go 1515 01:11:24,933 --> 01:11:26,972 Speaker 18: to Figi, right, you have a good time in Figi, 1516 01:11:27,772 --> 01:11:30,572 Speaker 18: but all of the money you spend ends up in 1517 01:11:30,652 --> 01:11:33,973 Speaker 18: a corporations bank account. None of it ends up in 1518 01:11:34,013 --> 01:11:38,253 Speaker 18: the local economy, and so it's we're doing to Fiji, 1519 01:11:38,572 --> 01:11:41,333 Speaker 18: for example, what has been done to us, and we've 1520 01:11:41,333 --> 01:11:43,732 Speaker 18: got to try and switch that around to get more 1521 01:11:44,692 --> 01:11:50,013 Speaker 18: people living locally, buying locally, ending them money locally. So 1522 01:11:50,213 --> 01:11:53,572 Speaker 18: if you look at a venice, you know, sixty five 1523 01:11:53,652 --> 01:11:58,532 Speaker 18: thousand people live there, thirty million tourists a year. Most 1524 01:11:58,572 --> 01:12:00,892 Speaker 18: of those are day trippers. They come off the boat 1525 01:12:00,933 --> 01:12:05,972 Speaker 18: where they've had they got free or prepaid meals a day, 1526 01:12:06,492 --> 01:12:09,772 Speaker 18: They walk around, clogging up the street, don't buy anything, 1527 01:12:09,893 --> 01:12:11,372 Speaker 18: and then go behind the ship at night. 1528 01:12:11,572 --> 01:12:13,532 Speaker 2: Yeah, so they're not even going to a restaurant. They're 1529 01:12:14,013 --> 01:12:16,652 Speaker 2: eating on the boat and getting off. Because you're exactly right, 1530 01:12:16,692 --> 01:12:18,412 Speaker 2: we want we want the people getting off the bus 1531 01:12:18,652 --> 01:12:21,333 Speaker 2: and going and trying a myriad of restaurants. So so 1532 01:12:21,452 --> 01:12:24,293 Speaker 2: it's spread out across across our place. 1533 01:12:24,853 --> 01:12:25,013 Speaker 5: Try. 1534 01:12:25,133 --> 01:12:26,852 Speaker 18: Yeah, what what you really want, I guess in the 1535 01:12:26,933 --> 01:12:29,372 Speaker 18: perfect world is you want people to say, Okay, we'll come, 1536 01:12:30,133 --> 01:12:32,173 Speaker 18: we'll come into Auckland and we'll go north for a 1537 01:12:32,253 --> 01:12:34,973 Speaker 18: week and then and then we'll go south down to 1538 01:12:35,013 --> 01:12:37,253 Speaker 18: Wellington and we'll fly and then we'll work over the 1539 01:12:38,253 --> 01:12:40,892 Speaker 18: you know, and then we'll do the south over say 1540 01:12:40,933 --> 01:12:44,972 Speaker 18: three or four weeks, because then everyone along the chain 1541 01:12:45,053 --> 01:12:50,453 Speaker 18: has got the opportunity of gaining revenue from that exchange. 1542 01:12:50,973 --> 01:12:54,692 Speaker 18: But if they come in on a tour dinner bus, 1543 01:12:55,652 --> 01:12:56,892 Speaker 18: you're never going to see their money. 1544 01:12:57,173 --> 01:13:01,132 Speaker 13: Yes, interesting, it's an interesting the places where. 1545 01:13:00,973 --> 01:13:04,772 Speaker 18: They have have souvenirs queens count you know a lot 1546 01:13:04,812 --> 01:13:08,572 Speaker 18: of those shops are probably Yeah, and so they go 1547 01:13:08,612 --> 01:13:11,333 Speaker 18: and buy the sheepskin rug. Yeah, a thousand dollars for it, 1548 01:13:11,412 --> 01:13:13,253 Speaker 18: But it's all going back to and there's a kick. 1549 01:13:13,372 --> 01:13:15,213 Speaker 2: There's a kick back back to the bus company to 1550 01:13:15,213 --> 01:13:17,652 Speaker 2: stop out the front of it, and they fleece them 1551 01:13:17,692 --> 01:13:20,732 Speaker 2: for some fleeces and then they get going when just 1552 01:13:20,893 --> 01:13:22,652 Speaker 2: just to finish up, Alan, thanks so much for your call. 1553 01:13:22,732 --> 01:13:24,812 Speaker 2: You make a lot of sense. But I was, you know, 1554 01:13:25,133 --> 01:13:28,053 Speaker 2: a little pushback. I was in Fiji and I thought 1555 01:13:28,093 --> 01:13:29,973 Speaker 2: one day, like I'll go out and suv and just 1556 01:13:30,053 --> 01:13:32,932 Speaker 2: actually experience Fiji rather than hanging out at the resort 1557 01:13:33,053 --> 01:13:36,293 Speaker 2: good Man, and I got mud. I got mugged at 1558 01:13:36,372 --> 01:13:36,852 Speaker 2: knife point. 1559 01:13:37,492 --> 01:13:40,572 Speaker 3: You deserved it, though, that's the difference. You know, you're 1560 01:13:40,572 --> 01:13:41,732 Speaker 3: probably asking for it, knowing. 1561 01:13:41,853 --> 01:13:43,293 Speaker 2: It's one of those scams they come up with the 1562 01:13:43,372 --> 01:13:45,213 Speaker 2: carving and they say, oh, what's your name? You go, 1563 01:13:45,692 --> 01:13:48,053 Speaker 2: you go, Matt, they go, and then they carve it 1564 01:13:48,093 --> 01:13:50,612 Speaker 2: on there and they go fifty bucks and then they 1565 01:13:50,692 --> 01:13:52,333 Speaker 2: hold the little thing they carved it to to. 1566 01:13:52,412 --> 01:13:54,732 Speaker 18: Your throat, and I thought that was just for the 1567 01:13:54,772 --> 01:13:56,293 Speaker 18: little kids to get can that way. 1568 01:13:57,893 --> 01:13:58,093 Speaker 13: Kids. 1569 01:13:58,173 --> 01:13:59,213 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you've said it out. 1570 01:13:59,652 --> 01:14:01,572 Speaker 2: I felt that one Hodline and Sinker. 1571 01:14:01,812 --> 01:14:04,492 Speaker 18: Yeah, yeah, I did too when I first went over there. 1572 01:14:05,213 --> 01:14:10,173 Speaker 18: So yeah, but the point is that, you know, we 1573 01:14:10,293 --> 01:14:13,012 Speaker 18: are quite happy to do that, and a good point 1574 01:14:13,612 --> 01:14:16,333 Speaker 18: something like that, Yeah, we're spending all of our money 1575 01:14:16,532 --> 01:14:20,372 Speaker 18: apart from the bartab has spent in New Zealand. 1576 01:14:21,372 --> 01:14:22,732 Speaker 3: I mean, I know. I did a little bit of 1577 01:14:22,772 --> 01:14:26,612 Speaker 3: work for a tourism outfit a few years ago, Ellen, 1578 01:14:26,652 --> 01:14:30,652 Speaker 3: and one of the issues was that they all compete 1579 01:14:30,692 --> 01:14:33,173 Speaker 3: with each other, and I always thought that was, you know, 1580 01:14:33,333 --> 01:14:35,692 Speaker 3: a bit self defeating, because that's what happens exactly. What 1581 01:14:35,772 --> 01:14:37,892 Speaker 3: you say is that these tourists come in, they don't 1582 01:14:37,933 --> 01:14:39,492 Speaker 3: know too much about it, and then they kind of 1583 01:14:39,612 --> 01:14:42,213 Speaker 3: travel to as many places as they can get and 1584 01:14:42,333 --> 01:14:44,133 Speaker 3: only stay there for a couple of hours. I just 1585 01:14:44,213 --> 01:14:46,333 Speaker 3: thought there needed to be some sort of central hub 1586 01:14:46,772 --> 01:14:50,572 Speaker 3: to try and encourage tourists on on tours that are 1587 01:14:50,572 --> 01:14:53,053 Speaker 3: actually going to be beneficial for our economy. But it's 1588 01:14:53,093 --> 01:14:54,652 Speaker 3: not that easy, you know. There is a lot of 1589 01:14:54,692 --> 01:14:56,893 Speaker 3: discussion and tourism circles about how best to do that, 1590 01:14:57,053 --> 01:14:58,452 Speaker 3: but they do all compete with each other. 1591 01:14:59,452 --> 01:15:02,732 Speaker 18: Yeah, yeah, that's right. I mean there's a movement in 1592 01:15:02,812 --> 01:15:05,333 Speaker 18: Europe that started in Europe called slow travel, and all 1593 01:15:05,412 --> 01:15:09,652 Speaker 18: it does is encourage people to spend three or four 1594 01:15:09,732 --> 01:15:12,133 Speaker 18: days in a place instead of five hours. 1595 01:15:12,253 --> 01:15:12,492 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1596 01:15:12,692 --> 01:15:15,972 Speaker 18: Yeah, so we need to encourage that sort of thinking. 1597 01:15:16,173 --> 01:15:18,293 Speaker 3: Yeah, good on you, Ellen, Thank great caller, Thank you 1598 01:15:18,452 --> 01:15:20,333 Speaker 3: very much.

Oh, eight hundred and eighty 2014 01:35:51,293 --> 01:35:52,973 Speaker 3: ten eighty is the number to call, and if you 2015 01:35:53,013 --> 01:35:54,732 Speaker 3: want to text through, you more than welcome. Nine to 2016 01:35:55,333 --> 01:35:57,932 Speaker 3: nine to two, Gareth. I've come in thick and fast, 2017 01:35:57,973 --> 01:36:02,133 Speaker 3: so we'll get straight into it with this one. Hey, guys, 2018 01:36:02,893 --> 01:36:04,852 Speaker 3: my wife works in retails, so it was not allowed 2019 01:36:04,853 --> 01:36:08,532 Speaker 3: to take holidays during November or December, leaving hoot ten 2020 01:36:08,612 --> 01:36:11,133 Speaker 3: months of the year to take holidays. Because one of 2021 01:36:11,173 --> 01:36:14,213 Speaker 3: her permanent days is a Saturday and they are permanently 2022 01:36:14,372 --> 01:36:17,053 Speaker 3: short staff, she is never allowed to take one or 2023 01:36:17,133 --> 01:36:19,772 Speaker 3: two weeks at a time because there was no one 2024 01:36:19,853 --> 01:36:22,972 Speaker 3: to cover her Saturday shift. I'm sure this is illegal. 2025 01:36:23,093 --> 01:36:23,932 Speaker 3: Can you please advise? 2026 01:36:25,093 --> 01:36:25,293 Speaker 6: Yeah? 2027 01:36:25,572 --> 01:36:28,372 Speaker 11: I mean the issue have not been able to take 2028 01:36:28,652 --> 01:36:33,452 Speaker 11: holidays over the Christmas period. That's not unusual in retail, 2029 01:36:34,772 --> 01:36:37,973 Speaker 11: but the inability to take a week or two of 2030 01:36:38,053 --> 01:36:42,293 Speaker 11: holiday at a time, that is an issue. And you 2031 01:36:42,532 --> 01:36:47,532 Speaker 11: do need to allow your staff to take a period 2032 01:36:47,612 --> 01:36:50,012 Speaker 11: of leave rather than a day here or a day there. 2033 01:36:50,532 --> 01:36:54,572 Speaker 11: So this is one of those situations where the caller's 2034 01:36:54,612 --> 01:36:59,452 Speaker 11: wife might want to constructively raise this with the employer. 2035 01:37:00,692 --> 01:37:02,692 Speaker 11: You know, it's a health and safety risk as well, 2036 01:37:03,933 --> 01:37:06,213 Speaker 11: and the employer's got to think about do they want 2037 01:37:06,213 --> 01:37:09,612 Speaker 11: to run the risk of a stress claim, because if 2038 01:37:09,612 --> 01:37:13,333 Speaker 11: you're not actually getting getting time to take an extended break, 2039 01:37:13,612 --> 01:37:16,133 Speaker 11: then you're going to be stressed out, You're going to 2040 01:37:16,173 --> 01:37:18,412 Speaker 11: be tired, you're most probably not going to be performing 2041 01:37:18,452 --> 01:37:18,972 Speaker 11: at your best. 2042 01:37:19,293 --> 01:37:20,293 Speaker 3: Yeah, good answer. 2043 01:37:21,053 --> 01:37:24,372 Speaker 2: We'll go to James A. You've had a complaint laid 2044 01:37:24,492 --> 01:37:25,253 Speaker 2: against you at work? 2045 01:37:26,853 --> 01:37:27,333 Speaker 6: Yeah, I did. 2046 01:37:27,412 --> 01:37:30,173 Speaker 18: It was a little while ago now, but I had 2047 01:37:30,893 --> 01:37:33,732 Speaker 18: one of the people in my team lay a bullying 2048 01:37:33,853 --> 01:37:39,093 Speaker 18: complaint against me, which I thought was pretty unfair at 2049 01:37:39,133 --> 01:37:41,812 Speaker 18: the time given what had happened. Anyway, we went through 2050 01:37:42,213 --> 01:37:45,493 Speaker 18: a process of about ten weeks of they're an investigation, 2051 01:37:45,692 --> 01:37:47,772 Speaker 18: being shut up and all that sort of stuff, and 2052 01:37:48,612 --> 01:37:54,093 Speaker 18: this person's complaint was circulated to some senior management within 2053 01:37:54,173 --> 01:37:57,293 Speaker 18: the company a day or two before the investigation was 2054 01:37:57,372 --> 01:38:00,972 Speaker 18: due to start. I was told of the complaint's being dropped, 2055 01:38:01,853 --> 01:38:04,173 Speaker 18: but also, this person is now no longer going to 2056 01:38:04,213 --> 01:38:06,012 Speaker 18: report to you, but you're still going to be working 2057 01:38:06,093 --> 01:38:08,852 Speaker 18: in the same team. So I said, I wasn't happy 2058 01:38:08,893 --> 01:38:10,572 Speaker 18: with that at the time. I felt that we should 2059 01:38:10,572 --> 01:38:12,692 Speaker 18: have been going ahead with the investigation. And I'm just 2060 01:38:12,772 --> 01:38:15,612 Speaker 18: wondering whether there's any obligation on the part of the 2061 01:38:15,652 --> 01:38:20,013 Speaker 18: company to investigate a claim like that given the circumstances. 2062 01:38:21,692 --> 01:38:25,893 Speaker 11: Yeah, that's a really tricky situation, both for you and 2063 01:38:26,253 --> 01:38:31,732 Speaker 11: for your employer. The difficulty that employers often grapple with 2064 01:38:32,053 --> 01:38:36,532 Speaker 11: is where someone's unhappy, they make a complaint, but they 2065 01:38:37,173 --> 01:38:39,852 Speaker 11: either withdraw the complaint, as appears to have been the 2066 01:38:39,933 --> 01:38:43,412 Speaker 11: case here, or they want the complaint to be kept confidential. 2067 01:38:43,732 --> 01:38:50,692 Speaker 11: Now it's pretty tricky for an employer because arguably you've 2068 01:38:50,893 --> 01:38:55,852 Speaker 11: still got to do an investigation if the concerns being raised. Now, 2069 01:38:56,213 --> 01:39:01,053 Speaker 11: this seems incredibly unfair for you because you've gone through 2070 01:39:01,213 --> 01:39:03,852 Speaker 11: all of the upset of having that complaint made against you. 2071 01:39:04,013 --> 01:39:09,532 Speaker 11: All the preliminary steps, and so there is an argument that, yes, 2072 01:39:09,732 --> 01:39:14,372 Speaker 11: the investigation should have gone ahead, But as a practical matter, 2073 01:39:14,452 --> 01:39:17,293 Speaker 11: I think the fact that it was withdrawn is most 2074 01:39:17,333 --> 01:39:20,893 Speaker 11: probably a good thing. And you never really know what 2075 01:39:21,133 --> 01:39:25,492 Speaker 11: investigations are going to show. And you know, investigators tried 2076 01:39:25,532 --> 01:39:29,412 Speaker 11: their best, but they aren't there. They don't actually know 2077 01:39:29,532 --> 01:39:33,213 Speaker 11: what happened, and so even though you've done nothing wrong, 2078 01:39:33,893 --> 01:39:36,213 Speaker 11: there's no guarantee that that's what the outcome would be. 2079 01:39:36,893 --> 01:39:39,452 Speaker 11: So I'd be inclined to just chalk it up as 2080 01:39:39,452 --> 01:39:42,452 Speaker 11: a negative experience and move on. Of course, if there 2081 01:39:42,492 --> 01:39:46,692 Speaker 11: are more issues with this teammate, I would really be 2082 01:39:46,853 --> 01:39:52,492 Speaker 11: on my guard. And if you start feeling uncomfortable, then 2083 01:39:52,532 --> 01:39:54,012 Speaker 11: it's your turn to raise a complaint. 2084 01:39:54,812 --> 01:39:57,652 Speaker 2: Thank of you call James. It's an interesting one, isn't it. 2085 01:39:57,812 --> 01:40:03,452 Speaker 2: Is there any pushback against I guess, low level complaints 2086 01:40:03,492 --> 01:40:07,053 Speaker 2: of bullying or erroneous complaints of bullying, or people using 2087 01:40:07,093 --> 01:40:11,013 Speaker 2: complaints of bullying as a way to you know, for 2088 01:40:11,093 --> 01:40:13,572 Speaker 2: their own career, or punishment because they don't like someone, 2089 01:40:13,572 --> 01:40:15,572 Speaker 2: Because that must happen quite quite a lot, right. 2090 01:40:15,893 --> 01:40:20,213 Speaker 11: Oh, definitely, you know. I sometimes joke that there hasn't 2091 01:40:20,253 --> 01:40:23,572 Speaker 11: been a single person who's been performance managed that hasn't 2092 01:40:23,652 --> 01:40:30,333 Speaker 11: claimed bully. It's almost guaranteed these days. And I think 2093 01:40:31,372 --> 01:40:33,852 Speaker 11: I think some of this comes from a lot of 2094 01:40:33,973 --> 01:40:38,532 Speaker 11: managers don't actually have any management training. Yeah right, And 2095 01:40:39,013 --> 01:40:40,412 Speaker 11: you know it was key with none of us want 2096 01:40:40,452 --> 01:40:44,053 Speaker 11: to be the bad guy or bad girl, and so 2097 01:40:45,173 --> 01:40:50,293 Speaker 11: we have a bit of difficulty managing people sometimes and 2098 01:40:51,013 --> 01:40:52,732 Speaker 11: as soon as you do try and manage someone, you 2099 01:40:52,812 --> 01:40:54,692 Speaker 11: get accused of being a bully. 2100 01:40:55,173 --> 01:40:55,372 Speaker 2: Yeah. 2101 01:40:55,612 --> 01:40:58,333 Speaker 3: Do you find with the smaller businesses they are a 2102 01:40:58,412 --> 01:41:01,053 Speaker 3: bit more lost at seeing those situations because they're not 2103 01:41:01,093 --> 01:41:05,333 Speaker 3: big enough to have an HR department. When that situation unfolds, 2104 01:41:05,372 --> 01:41:07,372 Speaker 3: clearly they should speak to someone like you, Gareth, but 2105 01:41:07,612 --> 01:41:10,933 Speaker 3: they feel, you know, a bit lost about what to 2106 01:41:11,013 --> 01:41:11,852 Speaker 3: do and how to deal with it. 2107 01:41:12,333 --> 01:41:15,293 Speaker 11: Oh definitely. I mean you look at New Zealand's economy. 2108 01:41:15,372 --> 01:41:20,893 Speaker 11: It's made up mainly of small and medium enterprises. You know, 2109 01:41:21,612 --> 01:41:24,972 Speaker 11: someone in their partner and maybe an apprentice or something 2110 01:41:25,093 --> 01:41:28,613 Speaker 11: like that. It's it's pretty difficult to navigate the complexities 2111 01:41:28,652 --> 01:41:33,133 Speaker 11: of employment law. And you know, getting advice is not cheap. 2112 01:41:33,612 --> 01:41:36,812 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Tyler gave me a pretty i'd say, pretty lame. 2113 01:41:36,893 --> 01:41:38,692 Speaker 2: Thank you for a coffee that I got him there. 2114 01:41:38,652 --> 01:41:42,012 Speaker 3: About I bully him every day, Gareth, He's raised complaints. 2115 01:41:42,013 --> 01:41:43,893 Speaker 2: It doesn't get anyway. Does he ask for it? 2116 01:41:44,452 --> 01:41:44,772 Speaker 17: He does. 2117 01:41:44,973 --> 01:41:47,452 Speaker 2: It was a microaggression, not thanking me enough for the 2118 01:41:47,492 --> 01:41:48,173 Speaker 2: coffee I got it. 2119 01:41:49,133 --> 01:41:51,652 Speaker 3: I remember that for tomorrow.

The boss of one of my jobs wants 2134 01:42:31,853 --> 01:42:34,532 Speaker 3: to change my hours which conflict with my other job. 2135 01:42:34,772 --> 01:42:36,933 Speaker 3: Do I need to accept the change of hours they 2136 01:42:36,973 --> 01:42:38,492 Speaker 3: are set in my contract from June. 2137 01:42:41,412 --> 01:42:43,772 Speaker 11: It really depends on what else is in your contract. 2138 01:42:43,853 --> 01:42:46,892 Speaker 11: A lot of contracts have a clause that the employer 2139 01:42:47,133 --> 01:42:51,052 Speaker 11: can vary the hours if there's a genuine business reason 2140 01:42:51,173 --> 01:42:53,372 Speaker 11: for it, as long as they consult with you first. 2141 01:42:54,532 --> 01:42:58,933 Speaker 11: Of course, there is that overlying duty to act reasonably. 2142 01:42:59,253 --> 01:43:03,293 Speaker 11: So I guess the question is why does the boss 2143 01:43:03,412 --> 01:43:06,372 Speaker 11: of one of the jobs want to change this person's hours, 2144 01:43:07,013 --> 01:43:11,652 Speaker 11: and in the agree are they legally entitled to You know, 2145 01:43:11,853 --> 01:43:13,933 Speaker 11: I'd have a discussion with them. There may be a 2146 01:43:14,053 --> 01:43:16,852 Speaker 11: genuine reason, and if you don't agree to it, they 2147 01:43:16,933 --> 01:43:19,572 Speaker 11: may do a restructure and just establish the role. So, 2148 01:43:21,133 --> 01:43:24,173 Speaker 11: you know, try and be constructive and try and find 2149 01:43:24,213 --> 01:43:25,412 Speaker 11: a way that works for both of you. 2150 01:43:25,973 --> 01:43:28,372 Speaker 3: I imagine that it could be also quite tricky, Gareth 2151 01:43:28,412 --> 01:43:30,852 Speaker 3: if she if this person is working two jobs and 2152 01:43:31,013 --> 01:43:32,972 Speaker 3: one of the bosses doesn't know about the other job, 2153 01:43:33,053 --> 01:43:36,012 Speaker 3: that can create some tension, right that if they don't 2154 01:43:36,053 --> 01:43:38,732 Speaker 3: know you're working in another position and you're not giving 2155 01:43:38,772 --> 01:43:41,293 Speaker 3: your full attention to the job that you're yet you're 2156 01:43:41,333 --> 01:43:44,013 Speaker 3: employed to do. Yeah, yeah, so. 2157 01:43:44,452 --> 01:43:47,772 Speaker 11: Your employer can't prevent you from having a second job, 2158 01:43:48,013 --> 01:43:50,692 Speaker 11: but they can prevent you from having a second job 2159 01:43:51,093 --> 01:43:56,372 Speaker 11: if it conflicts with your obligations under that job. And 2160 01:43:56,532 --> 01:43:58,573 Speaker 11: you know, this is kind of one of those situations, 2161 01:43:58,692 --> 01:43:58,973 Speaker 11: isn't it. 2162 01:43:59,133 --> 01:44:02,213 Speaker 3: Yeah, keep those ticks coming through a nine two nine two. 2163 01:44:02,412 --> 01:44:05,652 Speaker 3: But let's go to the phones. Joe, you've got a 2164 01:44:05,692 --> 01:44:06,333 Speaker 3: question for Gareth. 2165 01:44:07,213 --> 01:44:13,572 Speaker 21: Oh, hey, Gareth, I'm Joe here. I am a manager 2166 01:44:13,612 --> 01:44:16,333 Speaker 21: of a company at a small company. I've got a 2167 01:44:16,452 --> 01:44:20,532 Speaker 21: new recruit. He's just four months old. He's got a 2168 01:44:20,612 --> 01:44:24,532 Speaker 21: probation period of six months, so going forward, we would 2169 01:44:24,572 --> 01:44:28,412 Speaker 21: not like to continue with him. So I would like 2170 01:44:28,532 --> 01:44:30,732 Speaker 21: know all bit of consequences that I'll have to face 2171 01:44:31,412 --> 01:44:33,092 Speaker 21: if I give him a notice. 2172 01:44:34,452 --> 01:44:37,013 Speaker 11: Yeah, if you give the person notice now and you 2173 01:44:37,133 --> 01:44:40,292 Speaker 11: haven't gone through the process that's set out in the contract, 2174 01:44:41,812 --> 01:44:46,412 Speaker 11: it could be very expensive, indeed, because it would most 2175 01:44:46,572 --> 01:44:51,333 Speaker 11: likely be an unfair dismissal and they may get compensation, 2176 01:44:51,973 --> 01:44:55,692 Speaker 11: they may get lost wages, and of course they may 2177 01:44:55,772 --> 01:45:00,093 Speaker 11: be reinstated to their roles. So you may dismiss this 2178 01:45:00,253 --> 01:45:03,973 Speaker 11: person and then find that the court says they are 2179 01:45:04,213 --> 01:45:08,013 Speaker 11: entitled to come back. So I would strongly suggest that 2180 01:45:08,732 --> 01:45:11,333 Speaker 11: in a situation like this you take some advice or 2181 01:45:11,412 --> 01:45:14,213 Speaker 11: at a very minimum, follow the process that's set out 2182 01:45:14,333 --> 01:45:18,053 Speaker 11: in the agreement in the probationary period. I know two 2183 01:45:18,133 --> 01:45:20,412 Speaker 11: months seems like a long time, but if you get 2184 01:45:20,492 --> 01:45:22,492 Speaker 11: this wrong, it's going to cost you a lot more 2185 01:45:22,572 --> 01:45:23,652 Speaker 11: than two months wages. 2186 01:45:24,812 --> 01:45:27,652 Speaker 21: All right, But in my agreement, it clearly states that 2187 01:45:27,853 --> 01:45:30,652 Speaker 21: the probation within the probation period, the notice pit is 2188 01:45:30,732 --> 01:45:33,333 Speaker 21: just one week, so I just need to give him 2189 01:45:33,372 --> 01:45:34,372 Speaker 21: a week's notice, right. 2190 01:45:34,812 --> 01:45:37,612 Speaker 11: Well, you need to follow the process that's set out, 2191 01:45:37,732 --> 01:45:40,612 Speaker 11: so you can't under a probationary period. It's not like 2192 01:45:40,652 --> 01:45:44,173 Speaker 11: a trial period. You can't just tell someone that it's 2193 01:45:44,213 --> 01:45:47,213 Speaker 11: not working out and they need to go. You still 2194 01:45:47,293 --> 01:45:48,933 Speaker 11: have to act in good faith and you have to 2195 01:45:49,013 --> 01:45:54,013 Speaker 11: consult with them. So this is not really a straightforward 2196 01:45:54,253 --> 01:45:58,452 Speaker 11: ABC type thing. I strongly suggest that you get some 2197 01:45:58,572 --> 01:46:00,612 Speaker 11: advice on this one, because if you get it wrong, 2198 01:46:00,973 --> 01:46:02,173 Speaker 11: it's going to be expensive. 2199 01:46:02,612 --> 01:46:05,772 Speaker 3: So good luck, Joe, good luck, Thank you, all right, 2200 01:46:05,853 --> 01:46:06,612 Speaker 3: thank you very much. 2201 01:46:07,253 --> 01:46:07,492 Speaker 13: Dan. 2202 01:46:08,333 --> 01:46:09,172 Speaker 3: How are you this afternoon? 2203 01:46:10,293 --> 01:46:10,492 Speaker 4: Yeah? 2204 01:46:10,853 --> 01:46:11,013 Speaker 22: Mate? 2205 01:46:11,013 --> 01:46:11,652 Speaker 25: You good yourself? 2206 01:46:11,812 --> 01:46:12,012 Speaker 3: Yeah? 2207 01:46:12,053 --> 01:46:12,213 Speaker 13: Good? 2208 01:46:12,293 --> 01:46:14,812 Speaker 3: Gareth is standing my oday? 2209 01:46:14,893 --> 01:46:15,173 Speaker 17: Gareth. 2210 01:46:15,973 --> 01:46:19,933 Speaker 25: I'm a pretty much a leading hand here at this 2211 01:46:20,013 --> 01:46:23,053 Speaker 25: construction industry. We work in civil and infrastructure and all 2212 01:46:23,093 --> 01:46:28,213 Speaker 25: that so pretty much what my issue was. I've pretty 2213 01:46:28,253 --> 01:46:32,052 Speaker 25: much started probably two weeks ago, and as the last 2214 01:46:32,133 --> 01:46:35,932 Speaker 25: week had gone by, I had been paid in short 2215 01:46:37,732 --> 01:46:41,812 Speaker 25: due to a few opinions that my employer, Reckons had, 2216 01:46:43,213 --> 01:46:45,253 Speaker 25: you know, sort of for the public holiday. So what's 2217 01:46:45,293 --> 01:46:48,372 Speaker 25: happened is I started about two weeks ago on the Monday, 2218 01:46:48,452 --> 01:46:51,812 Speaker 25: which we all know was a public holiday or King's Birthday, 2219 01:46:52,492 --> 01:46:55,612 Speaker 25: and there clearly states in my contract also. But with 2220 01:46:55,973 --> 01:47:01,492 Speaker 25: that with a start, he had pretty much forwarded me 2221 01:47:01,532 --> 01:47:04,532 Speaker 25: another email saying can we have you start on the third, 2222 01:47:04,853 --> 01:47:08,772 Speaker 25: which on a Tuesday, and then well, pretty mu following 2223 01:47:08,812 --> 01:47:12,293 Speaker 25: up to my next pay week, I was paid short 2224 01:47:12,492 --> 01:47:17,093 Speaker 25: eight LS, and I'll pretty much argued the point with him, 2225 01:47:17,253 --> 01:47:19,612 Speaker 25: but he reckons that. Oh he sent me a follow 2226 01:47:19,692 --> 01:47:22,213 Speaker 25: up email saying that the third is my start date, 2227 01:47:22,253 --> 01:47:25,293 Speaker 25: which then avoids him paying eight LS. Just wanting to 2228 01:47:25,372 --> 01:47:28,492 Speaker 25: know any way around this or if if he's correct 2229 01:47:28,532 --> 01:47:29,492 Speaker 25: or if I'm incorrect. 2230 01:47:30,213 --> 01:47:33,173 Speaker 11: Gosh, that sounds a bit rough. Not a great way 2231 01:47:33,253 --> 01:47:35,452 Speaker 11: to start off an employment relationship, is it. 2232 01:47:37,053 --> 01:47:37,093 Speaker 1: Not? 2233 01:47:37,253 --> 01:47:37,492 Speaker 9: Really? 2234 01:47:37,612 --> 01:47:39,732 Speaker 25: I mean, I'm not really looking to battle it out either, 2235 01:47:39,812 --> 01:47:42,293 Speaker 25: because I'm not a bit worried that I'll lose all 2236 01:47:42,612 --> 01:47:44,612 Speaker 25: the benefits that I do have at the moment, which 2237 01:47:44,652 --> 01:47:45,692 Speaker 25: is not in my contract. 2238 01:47:45,772 --> 01:47:51,333 Speaker 11: But you know, yeah, definitely, it really depends on what 2239 01:47:52,093 --> 01:47:55,213 Speaker 11: was actually agreed. If it was agreed that the Monday 2240 01:47:55,293 --> 01:47:57,893 Speaker 11: would be your start date, I think you've got a 2241 01:47:58,093 --> 01:48:02,612 Speaker 11: very good case that you should be paid for the 2242 01:48:03,293 --> 01:48:08,812 Speaker 11: public holiday. An employer can't just change your STUF update 2243 01:48:09,013 --> 01:48:12,093 Speaker 11: if that has already been agreed, and if that was 2244 01:48:12,133 --> 01:48:14,852 Speaker 11: agreed in the contract and both people signed it, well, 2245 01:48:15,372 --> 01:48:17,212 Speaker 11: I think it's it's going to be a bit difficult 2246 01:48:17,253 --> 01:48:21,492 Speaker 11: for your employer to argue that it changed. 2247 01:48:23,173 --> 01:48:23,532 Speaker 2: That's it. 2248 01:48:24,053 --> 01:48:27,093 Speaker 11: As you said before, do you really want to die 2249 01:48:27,133 --> 01:48:32,572 Speaker 11: in a ditch over this one as pay? And you know, 2250 01:48:33,213 --> 01:48:37,133 Speaker 11: if if your employer is adamant that he's right, even 2251 01:48:37,173 --> 01:48:41,013 Speaker 11: if he's not, things are going to get unpleasant and 2252 01:48:42,452 --> 01:48:45,893 Speaker 11: you may choose just to swallow it on this occasion. 2253 01:48:47,293 --> 01:48:50,893 Speaker 11: But yeah, it doesn't seem right and I wouldn't be 2254 01:48:51,013 --> 01:48:51,852 Speaker 11: very happy if it was me. 2255 01:48:54,492 --> 01:48:59,892 Speaker 20: Yeah, it's just it's a hard one. At one time, 2256 01:48:59,933 --> 01:49:02,452 Speaker 20: you don't really want to battle it out and lose, 2257 01:49:02,612 --> 01:49:04,932 Speaker 20: you know, the good faith of your employer. But then 2258 01:49:05,293 --> 01:49:07,293 Speaker 20: the other hand, you don't really want to be taken 2259 01:49:07,293 --> 01:49:08,253 Speaker 20: advantage of as well. 2260 01:49:08,772 --> 01:49:11,492 Speaker 11: So totally And I guess the thing I would be 2261 01:49:11,612 --> 01:49:15,652 Speaker 11: thinking is, you know, if someone wants to screw me 2262 01:49:15,732 --> 01:49:18,652 Speaker 11: out of a day's public holidays, is that someone that 2263 01:49:18,732 --> 01:49:21,053 Speaker 11: I really want to be working with? And you know, 2264 01:49:21,213 --> 01:49:24,293 Speaker 11: maybe maybe you should be looking for other opportunities? 2265 01:49:25,652 --> 01:49:25,852 Speaker 5: Yeah? 2266 01:49:26,812 --> 01:49:30,972 Speaker 3: Yeah, probably good luck and a bit to think about there. 2267 01:49:31,812 --> 01:49:34,852 Speaker 3: This is an interesting question. Hi, I own a retail 2268 01:49:34,893 --> 01:49:37,532 Speaker 3: shop with security cameras covering the sales floor and office. 2269 01:49:37,572 --> 01:49:40,532 Speaker 3: The cameras record audio as well as video. But as 2270 01:49:40,572 --> 01:49:43,253 Speaker 3: far as my employees know, it's just video. Do I 2271 01:49:43,372 --> 01:49:45,732 Speaker 3: have to let them know that it's covering audio as well? 2272 01:49:46,293 --> 01:49:46,492 Speaker 13: Yes? 2273 01:49:47,293 --> 01:49:49,612 Speaker 11: And why are you recording audio? 2274 01:49:50,173 --> 01:49:50,452 Speaker 3: Thanks? 2275 01:49:51,133 --> 01:49:55,012 Speaker 2: So the recording audio makes it and such another level, 2276 01:49:55,093 --> 01:49:55,492 Speaker 2: doesn't it? 2277 01:49:55,772 --> 01:49:55,972 Speaker 4: Yeah? 2278 01:49:56,253 --> 01:49:57,132 Speaker 2: Totally creepiness. 2279 01:49:57,933 --> 01:50:01,013 Speaker 11: I'd be really uncomfortable with that if if I was 2280 01:50:01,452 --> 01:50:04,452 Speaker 11: one of the employees, and I'd be going, well, hang on, 2281 01:50:04,612 --> 01:50:07,253 Speaker 11: why are you spying on me? You know, you've you've 2282 01:50:07,293 --> 01:50:11,932 Speaker 11: got to have a genu one reasonable reason to record 2283 01:50:12,013 --> 01:50:17,132 Speaker 11: people in the workplace. Now, video surveillances is not unusual. 2284 01:50:17,253 --> 01:50:20,452 Speaker 11: There's there's really good health and safety reasons for that. 2285 01:50:20,572 --> 01:50:24,612 Speaker 11: There's security reasons for that. But why are you recording audio, 2286 01:50:26,253 --> 01:50:27,692 Speaker 11: you know, just turn. 2287 01:50:27,612 --> 01:50:29,933 Speaker 2: It off and look, you'll hear them backstabbing about you. 2288 01:50:30,253 --> 01:50:33,093 Speaker 2: And that's what they do that people, employees backstad about 2289 01:50:33,093 --> 01:50:35,132 Speaker 2: their bosses. It's just how they get let out steam. 2290 01:50:35,133 --> 01:50:36,213 Speaker 2: And you just feel bad. 2291 01:50:36,853 --> 01:50:37,532 Speaker 11: You don't want to hear it. 2292 01:50:37,652 --> 01:50:39,412 Speaker 4: You do not want to hear. 2293 01:50:39,652 --> 01:50:41,133 Speaker 2: You don't want to hear what your employees are saying 2294 01:50:41,133 --> 01:50:41,412 Speaker 2: about you. 2295 01:50:41,973 --> 01:50:44,852 Speaker 11: And if they find out that you are recording audio 2296 01:50:45,133 --> 01:50:47,732 Speaker 11: and you haven't told them, not only are they going 2297 01:50:47,772 --> 01:50:50,253 Speaker 11: to have grounds for personal grievance, they are also going 2298 01:50:50,333 --> 01:50:52,212 Speaker 11: to have grounds to make a complaint to the Privacy 2299 01:50:52,213 --> 01:50:54,732 Speaker 11: Commissioner and and it's going to be all bad. 2300 01:50:55,053 --> 01:50:57,053 Speaker 3: So we don't do iteless. 2301 01:50:57,133 --> 01:50:59,292 Speaker 2: They're recording audio on our workplace, Tyler. 2302 01:50:59,173 --> 01:51:03,412 Speaker 3: How dare they to hear that I'm taking share people by? 2303 01:51:03,452 --> 01:51:08,093 Speaker 2: They're blatant with these big microphones in our faces. And 2304 01:51:08,532 --> 01:51:11,093 Speaker 2: how many times this text ask can a twelvemonth fixed 2305 01:51:11,173 --> 01:51:14,212 Speaker 2: term role be rolled on before it becomes permanent? 2306 01:51:15,053 --> 01:51:15,293 Speaker 15: Ah? 2307 01:51:15,812 --> 01:51:16,252 Speaker 3: Correct? 2308 01:51:17,093 --> 01:51:21,253 Speaker 11: So there's some large organizations in New Zealand that make 2309 01:51:21,333 --> 01:51:25,652 Speaker 11: a habit of these rolling twelvemonth fixed term contracts, and 2310 01:51:25,772 --> 01:51:29,253 Speaker 11: I think they are shaky as here legally and if 2311 01:51:29,293 --> 01:51:34,253 Speaker 11: anyone tests it. The organizations might be running for the hills. 2312 01:51:35,333 --> 01:51:38,253 Speaker 11: You've got to have a genuine business reason to have 2313 01:51:38,372 --> 01:51:41,692 Speaker 11: a fixed term agreement, and one of those reasons can't 2314 01:51:41,812 --> 01:51:45,293 Speaker 11: be that you're not sure about funding. The courts have 2315 01:51:45,372 --> 01:51:47,612 Speaker 11: made it very clear that in a situation like that, 2316 01:51:48,372 --> 01:51:50,372 Speaker 11: if there's not enough funding, then you need to have 2317 01:51:50,492 --> 01:51:55,133 Speaker 11: a restructure. So I can't see many good reasons for 2318 01:51:55,213 --> 01:51:57,333 Speaker 11: a rolling twelvemonth fixed term contract. 2319 01:51:57,772 --> 01:52:00,452 Speaker 3: Brilliant as always, Gareth.
