1 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: Digging through the spiths to find the real storygory. It's 2 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: Heather Dupascylan Drive with One New Zealand let's get connected 3 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: news talks that'd be good afternoon. 4 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 2: Welcome to the show. Coming up today. Paul Goldsmith was 5 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,279 Speaker 2: making some good and then also some really strange changes 6 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,639 Speaker 2: to voting rules. He'll explain after five. Nikola Willis on 7 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 2: the calls for the Reserve Bank chair now to follow 8 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 2: Adrian or out the door, and should the politicians give 9 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 2: up their private health care while they're in power? Heather 10 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 2: Dupericy Allen, So, I'm heartened by where we've ended up 11 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 2: on this gnarly issue of transgender inclusion in community sport today. 12 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 2: This hat, I think we can all see the potential 13 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 2: to get pretty ugly and be pretty hurtful to some people, 14 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 2: but it hasn't gone there. Instead, we've taken the politics 15 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 2: and the culture wars out of this, by the looks 16 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 2: of things, and we've ended up in a common sense place, 17 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 2: which is trusting adults to work through these issues themselves. Now, 18 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 2: if you haven't followed the back and forth on this, 19 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 2: I'll just bring you up to speed. Previously, the situation 20 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 2: was that sport New Zealand, who are in charge of 21 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 2: all of the sports Sport new Zealand published some guidelines 22 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 2: during the last labor government, and they didn't specifically. These 23 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 2: guidelines didn't specifically force community sports to include trans athletes, 24 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 2: but they made it pretty clear through associated commentary that 25 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 2: that was the expectation trans athletes would be included. New 26 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 2: Zealand first then hit the election campaign arguing against that 27 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 2: they were threatening to They were basically owned completely the 28 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 2: other way, threatening to withdraw taxpayer funding from sports that 29 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 2: did include trans athletes. Where we've ended up today is 30 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 2: a middle ground. The guidelines are gone, there are no 31 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 2: expectations one way or the other. There are no threats 32 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 2: of funding cuts. It is now up to community sports 33 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 2: themselves to decide what to do. This is how it 34 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 2: should be, because it should actually be a decision made 35 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 2: by each individual sporting body, because different sports should approach 36 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 2: this differently. I mean, netball, for example, can probably make 37 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 2: a very good case that including trans athletes trans women 38 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 2: poses little to no physical risk to CIS women who 39 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 2: are playing. But boxing is a completely different story. Boxing 40 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 2: should not let trans women box against SIS women, So 41 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 2: it's different for every sport. Now I'm sure there are 42 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 2: going to be some sporting bodies who will be unhappy 43 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 2: about this decision because they will have no rules and 44 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 2: no guidelines and no one else to blame for the 45 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 2: decision that they ultimately have to end up making. They're 46 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 2: going to have to make these tough calls themselves. But 47 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 2: that's life, and if today is anything to go by, 48 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 2: maybe actually they can make those tough calls without the 49 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: rank orps and the culture war carry on that we've 50 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 2: seen in some other countries. And actually credit to us 51 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 2: for doing this today and ending up in the right 52 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 2: place with the decorum that we. 53 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 3: Have ever dupericy Ellen. 54 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,519 Speaker 2: Nine two ninety two is the text number standard text 55 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 2: fees apply. Now Give a Little says it has shut 56 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 2: down multiple fundraising pages for guards and citizens because of 57 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 2: money laundering concerns. Ten tens of thousands of dollars that 58 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 2: are meant for Palestinian aid are now locked with at 59 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 2: least four pages shut down due to operational risk. Mike 60 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 2: Seawright is the founder of Relief eight. He still has 61 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 2: an active give a fundraiser for Gaza and he's with us. Hey, Mike, hi, Heather, 62 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 2: how are you very well? Thank you? Why have these 63 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 2: pages been shut down? 64 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 4: Well, we're only looking at this from an external perspective, Heather, 65 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 4: but it looks like Give a Little concerned about where 66 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 4: the end use of the funds will be. And while 67 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 4: I wouldn't like to comment on the individual cases itself, 68 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 4: because we haven't been following those in many respects, that's 69 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 4: a good question and a question certainly we ask ourselves 70 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 4: if you look at it from a charity perspective, what's 71 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 4: important to us and what's important to our donors is 72 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 4: that when they give to us, we know exactly what's 73 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 4: happening to that money. And we do this in our 74 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 4: case by making sure, in the case of Gaza, that 75 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 4: when our trucks roll out with water, our teams are 76 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 4: sitting on those trucks and making sure it gets to 77 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 4: the people that we actually intended to get. 78 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 3: And it is our team. 79 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 2: You are actually being You're taking the money from New 80 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 2: zealand you're putting it into the water. The water is 81 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 2: getting to people in Gaza. 82 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 4: Exactly, and that's I think this is one of the 83 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 4: fundamental questions that Give a Little has is how can 84 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 4: if we're doing peer to peer giving, how can you 85 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 4: guarantee that what you're giving is being received in the 86 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 4: right way at the other end. And there are other issues. 87 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 4: Of course, there's legal and compliance issues that also go 88 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 4: with that, but ultimately giving is good and giving responsibly 89 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 4: is also a critical part of that action. 90 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 2: So I'm a little bit confused though, as to what 91 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 2: their reasons are for locking these pages. I don't want 92 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 2: to cast any aspersions on these pages, but are they 93 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 2: concerned about money laundering? Are they concerned about people being scammed? 94 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 2: Are they concerned that some of the money is making 95 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 2: its way to come asked? Do you know? 96 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 4: Well, I don't know. To be completely honest. As a charity, 97 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 4: this is a question I think that Give a Little 98 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 4: can answer. But as a charity, these are questions that 99 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 4: we raise in our own space when we're dealing with 100 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 4: our banks, for example, who ask us questions like can 101 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 4: you control your money? Do you have systems and processes 102 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 4: it ensure it gets to where it's intended? Do you 103 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 4: know what's happening on the ground? Both the problem, but 104 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 4: are you managing the solution? And I guess I go 105 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 4: back to this idea that our team are sitting on 106 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 4: the truck's delivering aid where it's needed most so that 107 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 4: when people ask us donors, banks or otherwise, when they 108 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 4: ask us, where did our money go? 109 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 3: How did you. 110 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 4: Make sure that what we intended happen, we say, well, 111 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 4: we physically saw it. And I'm guessing when give a 112 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 4: little looks at these pages, they are asking first of all, 113 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 4: that question, you know, is it helping in the right way? 114 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 4: They're also asking questions around are you being swindled? Is 115 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 4: there some you know dodgy cause how do you validate that? 116 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 4: And asking some questions around that. I'm only reading between 117 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 4: the lines looking at the public commentary on this. And 118 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 4: then they're also fulfilling their legal requirements. And this is 119 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 4: not to defend give a little, but nonetheless they are 120 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 4: operating in a very similar space to us and saying, look, 121 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 4: we've got legal responsibilities here that we're not funding terrorism 122 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 4: or other any other element. 123 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 2: Mike, how are you getting water? And if the borders 124 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 2: are shut as tightly sealed as they are in the 125 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 2: idea is controlling things to the extent that they are well. 126 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 4: This was one of the big changes we made through 127 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 4: as the war in Gaza progressed. We had initially brought 128 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 4: food across the border from Egypt. This became very difficult, 129 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 4: in fact very long as well. It took us seven 130 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 4: weeks to get our first truck of food across the border. 131 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 4: At the same time, we were doing water distributions in Gaza, 132 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 4: sourcing water from inside Gaza. So this means we take 133 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 4: the water out of boreholes where we get the money 134 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 4: the water, I should say out of boreholes. It goes 135 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 4: into our trucks and goes out to families inside Gaza. 136 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 4: So we're not crossing any borders. So what did this 137 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 4: allow us to do? Even when the borders are closed 138 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 4: as they are right now. Really, Fade's able to turn 139 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 4: a dollar in New Zealand into water, to a dollar 140 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 4: in New Zealand today into water Gaza tomorrow because everything 141 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 4: happens within Gaza itself. 142 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 2: Mike, I appreciate you taking the time to talk to us. 143 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 2: Mike see Wright, founder of Relief Ate. Fourteen past four 144 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 2: So the adrian Or email has come out. This is 145 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 2: the email that we were talking about yesterday. What's happened 146 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 2: is two weeks before adrian Or suddenly resigned, adrian Or's boss, 147 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 2: Neil Quiggley, emailed a staffer at Treasury and said I'm 148 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 2: sorry that Adrian lost his cool with you this afternoon. 149 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 2: Your question was not surprising and he should have been 150 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 2: able to give you a more dispassionate answer. So this 151 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 2: is looking very much like confirmation that the whistleblower was 152 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 2: in fact correct. That Adrian or did in fact swear 153 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 2: in a meeting with Treasury, which is presumably what this 154 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 2: apology email was for. And then he did swear in 155 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 2: a meeting with Nikola Willis, and then his boss Neil 156 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 2: emailed him a list of bad behaviors, and then he quit. 157 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 2: There is more on this. Bearwith quarter past. 158 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: It's the Heather to Bussy allan drive full show podcast 159 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio powered by News Talk zeb. 160 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 2: Right, well, Darcy has forgotten his headphones. Here he is 161 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 2: with me. 162 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, I forgotten my headphones. This should 163 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 5: be provided as a workplace necessity. I'm blaming somebody else 164 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 5: and here comes and you. 165 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 2: I have just witnessed my headphones on. 166 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 5: I've never experienced that twenty five years of right, oh my. 167 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 2: This is a lovely producer and has been reduced to 168 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 2: coming in plugging the headphones in for Darcy and then 169 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 2: putting them on his head whilst I was grossing while 170 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 2: he rants rants at us and it's you chocolate fish for 171 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,719 Speaker 2: you later on spectacular anyway, So tell me, listen, I 172 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 2: think that we've ended up in the right place with 173 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 2: the Sport New Zealand transgender guidelines. What do you think. 174 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 5: Yes, people might go surprise because they now almost workers 175 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 5: the next time. That to me, to me, this is 176 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 5: this is great. This is no overreach from the government. 177 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 5: There is the government saying you make your own minds up. 178 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 5: We're not going to do it anymore. It's none of 179 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 5: our business, really, and it isn't so good on them 180 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 5: for doing that. And I think taking off of the 181 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 5: website some of their guidelines is probably not great because 182 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 5: I think their guidelines were a good idea. They weren't 183 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 5: mandated guidelines. Let's consider this. Consider that when you make 184 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 5: your decisions, you know that you know that that's what 185 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 5: the guidelines are. 186 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 2: The guidelines. The guidelines were a very strong indication to 187 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 2: Sport that they needed to include transgender athletes. And if 188 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 2: you don't believe me, go and read Railing Carlos Castle's 189 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 2: comments around it when she released them. It was very 190 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 2: clearly designed to be inclusive, but. 191 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 5: It wasn't rubber stamp you have to follow these guidelines 192 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 5: take them out them? Well, but couldn't they just say 193 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 5: these are still guidelines. 194 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 2: Have a read. 195 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 5: It might be helpful. Isn't a situation here with transgenders 196 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 5: so difficult? 197 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 2: It need like this is the thing you don't need 198 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 2: to publish for people on your special website how to 199 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 2: do something. It's already out there. You just ask chat GPT. 200 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 6: It sounds like you're a student. 201 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 5: Complaints I get from my one about chet you've got, Dawn, 202 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 5: I'll tell you they're all doing it. I think it's 203 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 5: a good thing though, that the government's going to fly 204 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 5: and in each different organization can work out what they 205 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 5: want to do. Mike Kester is going to join us 206 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 5: on the show this evening. He's the boss of participation 207 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 5: at a community level for New Zealand Rugby Planning. It's 208 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 5: big for them. What does this say about what they're doing? 209 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 5: How does this affect them? What have they put in place? 210 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 5: What have they learned in this time? I know I've 211 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 5: along with ants the most majestic producer in the world. 212 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 5: He puts people's headphones on. Have both been He's actually yeah, 213 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 5: she declined I was just about to say, we're both trying, 214 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 5: but like you're you're the boss, So I rang up 215 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 5: and the morning bro, are you chasing Raylen? 216 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 3: Yeah? 217 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 5: Declined but never mind, what was the line? We've said 218 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 5: everything we want to say in our there's nothing else 219 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 5: to say, so Lisa's yeah, Wow, who knows that? I'm 220 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 5: not a soul upset by that? Leave it to the 221 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 5: sports to make the decision at that community to live 222 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,719 Speaker 5: on the other The big thing on this is I 223 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 5: don't want to sound uncaring or unloving, because I'm not. 224 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 5: But the percentage of athletes that actually directly affects is 225 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 5: so small, and the ferrari around it is so big. 226 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,839 Speaker 5: It correct really completely out of balance. It's like it's over. 227 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 2: Expressed and has the risks to get so ugly. So 228 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 2: I'm glad it's been dealt with by grown ups in 229 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 2: a grown up way. Darcy, thank you, looking forward to 230 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 2: your show this evening.

The Darcy's headphone 233 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 2: entitlement sounds like the kind of behavior one would expect 234 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 2: from Adrian or. 235 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 5: I'm being compared to somebody important, then. 236 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 3: One getting the facts discarding the fluff. 237 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: It's Heather duplicy Ellen drive with one news Land, let's 238 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 1: get connected news talks. 239 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 3: That'd be Yeah. 240 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 2: There has anyone actually heard from Raleigh Castle today. I 241 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 2: remember when the Labour loons were pushing this mad gender ideology. 242 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 2: She was lockstep with the narrative and on every radio 243 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 2: show in the country. Matt good, good, very good question 244 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 2: four twenty four. Now the government is bringing in a 245 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 2: bunch of changes to our voting laws. One of the 246 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 2: ones which I think all of us will agree with 247 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 2: is that they've made it clearly you cannot do the 248 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 2: carry on that was happening at Manette Wa Marai at 249 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 2: the last election. You know, the music and the posters 250 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 2: and the vouchers and the barbecues and the I don't 251 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,719 Speaker 2: know what else was going on there. They have made 252 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 2: it clear that providing free food, free drink, free entertainment 253 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 2: within one hundred meters of a voting booth will be 254 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 2: punishable by up to ten thousand dollars. I think is 255 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 2: a smart idea. It just clarifies that there's no more 256 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 2: of this kind of gray area. What they've also done, 257 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 2: which I am much less enthusiastic about, is that they're 258 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 2: bringing in the change that you now cannot enroll on election. 259 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 2: Do I remember remember how it's been in the last 260 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 2: few years. You could turn up at the voting booth, 261 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 2: you go, I'm not enrolled, but can I enroll now? 262 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 2: And then can I vote? And that was totally fine. 263 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 2: You can now not do that. You cannot do that 264 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 2: on voting dabit. You also cannot do that while early 265 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 2: voting is going on, which goes on for what is 266 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 2: it two weeks or something like that, There is it 267 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 2: would appear no change, no chance whatsoever that the government 268 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 2: is going to change its mind on it if you 269 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 2: go by what David Seymour thinks of these people. 270 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 7: Frankly, I'm a sick of dropkicks that can't get themselves 271 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 7: organized to follow the law which registering to vote is 272 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,719 Speaker 7: a legal requirement in going along and voting, to tax 273 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,559 Speaker 7: away hard working people's money and have people that make 274 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 7: laws that restrict their freedoms. 275 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 2: Dropkicks. Okay, So if you're that guy, if you voted, 276 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 2: if you enrolled on the day, you're a drop kick. 277 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 2: I'll tell you why I'm uncomfortable about this. I'm uncomfortable 278 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 2: about this because you know, and I know that the 279 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 2: people most likely to enroll on the day will be 280 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 2: people who vote left, because it will largely be people 281 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 2: like people who have a bit itinerant, you know, maybe 282 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 2: they're moving in moving and moving they haven't they haven't 283 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 2: got themselves enrolled, they've been between houses. Tend to kind 284 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 2: of I mean, I'm making a huge assumption here, but 285 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 2: I'm tending to think that they would vote left. I'm 286 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 2: also thinking largely students. If there is a person who 287 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 2: cannot get their life in order, it's a student, right, 288 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 2: So it's gonna be have a bunch of students. So 289 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 2: you know that the students love greens, you know. So 290 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 2: it just feels a bit cynical to me, does it 291 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 2: not you anyway? And I'm uncomfortable about that. I think 292 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 2: democracy comes, democracy comes before everything else. Don't dick around 293 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 2: with it, and this feels like sticking around with it. 294 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 2: Paul Goldsmith will be with us after five. We'll have 295 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 2: a chat to him about that. Brigitte Macron and Emmanuel 296 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 2: Macron are suing Candace Owens for spreading the conspiracy theory 297 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 2: that Brigitte was born a man. They say that it 298 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 2: is a relentless and unjustified smear campaign and they are 299 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 2: so angry at Candace Owens for doing this that they 300 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 2: even prepare to travel to the US for the case. Now, 301 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 2: Candace Owens is not the only person who has been 302 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 2: spreading this theory online. I would say probably the most 303 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 2: prominent person who's been spreading it online. But you know 304 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 2: there was another lot who did it for four hours 305 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 2: on a YouTube video. So you know, you pick and choose. 306 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 2: But they're gonna go after Candace, and I mean fair enough, right, 307 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 2: because fair enough? But is it like a tiny part 308 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 2: of you that thinks that the reason that they're suing 309 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 2: Candas is just so that they can appear united after 310 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 2: she gave them the bash in the aeroplane and we 311 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 2: all saw it, is that what it's really was to 312 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 2: look like a united couple like Emmanual will defend as 313 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 2: woman in't it? Obviously? Because until now no one cared 314 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 2: about it anyway. Headlines next. 315 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: Putting the challenging questions to the people at the heart 316 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: of the story, it's hither duplicy Ellen Drive with one 317 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: New Zealand let's get connected news talks that'd be. 318 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 2: Hey, you are going to want to hear how the 319 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 2: French are ripping you off if you're a tourist and listen. 320 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 2: Let's be honest about it.

Hither. 332 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 2: I totally agree with Goldsmith and Seymour's bill that new 333 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 2: voters have had plenty of time to enroll since turning eighteen. 334 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 2: I've seen scrutiny as handing out lollies at polling booths. 335 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 2: That's from Sue Heather, and it just goes on. So 336 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm unswayed by your criticism of my opinion, 337 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 2: though I truly do believe it. I think this kind 338 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 2: of gerrymandering nonsense has no place in New Zealand politics. Anyway. 339 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 2: Paul Goldsmith can answer it when he's with us shortly 340 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 2: embarrassop will be with us in ten minutes to give 341 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 2: us his hot take anyway, twenty four away from five. 342 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 3: It's the World Wires on news Dogs. 343 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 2: He'd be drive more Epstein trouble for President and Trump. 344 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 2: According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump is mentioned by 345 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 2: name in the Epstein files. Now this doesn't mean he's guilty, 346 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 2: but he isn't there a lot. Gillaine Maxwell has also 347 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 2: been subpoena to testify to Congress next month. House Speaker 348 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,360 Speaker 2: Mike Johnson says she's not a trustworthy witness. 349 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 8: I mean, this is a person who's been sentenced to many, 350 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 8: many years in prison for terrible, unspeakable conspiratorial acts and 351 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 8: acts against innocent young people. I mean, can we trust 352 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 8: what she's going to say. 353 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 2: Australia has dropped its span on American beef imports. Trump 354 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 2: has previously criticized the span They. 355 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 5: Won't take any of our beef. 356 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 4: They don't want it because they don't want it to 357 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 4: affect their farmers. 358 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 5: And you know what, I don't blame them, but we're 359 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 5: doing the same thing now. 360 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 2: The Australian Trade Minister hasn't straight up said that they're 361 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 2: dropping the band to help with tariff negotiations, but he 362 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 2: has said this. 363 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 9: The job of the Albanezi government is to prosecute the 364 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 9: argument with the Americans until such time as they realize 365 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 9: that these tariffs on Australia are a mistake. 366 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 2: And finally, a British ship that fought in the American 367 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 2: Revolutionary War has turned up on a beach in the 368 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 2: Orkney Islands now. The wreckage was found last year and 369 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 2: it's now been identified as the HMS hind which sat 370 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 2: which sank near the islands in seventeen eighty eight. The 371 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 2: ship appears to have been buried under the beach sand 372 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 2: after it ran aground, but it has now been revealed 373 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 2: because of climate change. 374 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 1: International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance Peace of Mind 375 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business. 376 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 2: Murray ols Ossi correspondents with us Hey muzz. 377 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 10: Chio Bellahead, A very good afternoon to you. 378 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 2: So why has Australia really dropped the ban on the beef. 379 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 10: Well, I think it's pretty obvious. It's certainly to gain 380 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 10: favor in terms of the Trump administration which is threatening 381 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 10: all sorts of tariffs against Australia. Don Farrell, the Trade 382 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 10: Ministry you heard there, He says, there's nothing to see here. Basically, look, 383 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 10: American beef's been allowed into Australia since twenty nineteen. The 384 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 10: band that was in place until now related only to 385 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 10: beef sourced from Mexico and from Canada, slaughtered in the 386 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 10: United States and then shipped to Australia and around the world. 387 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 10: The government says there's been no compromise at all in 388 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 10: terms of biosecurity rules, and these rules, obviously, like New Zealand, 389 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 10: in place for decades to stop any threat of importing 390 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 10: diseases that could devastate the agricultural industries of both our countries. 391 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 10: Also and says it's got nothing to do with the 392 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 10: peasing President Trump. Oh really, it's been a long time coming. 393 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 10: The blanket band lifted, as I say, in twenty ninety. 394 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 10: The opposition over here says this and many questions have 395 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 10: to be answered and independent review must be done. But 396 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 10: Australian beef farmers are saying, guess what, it's no big 397 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 10: deal pull. There won't be a flood of American beef. 398 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 10: It'll be poorer quality and more expensive. So are we 399 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 10: going to be buying that? I mean, Australian bee's body 400 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 10: will dear enough as it is. You go, you know, 401 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 10: you go to the supermarket and try and buy some 402 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 10: decent steak. You go to the butcher's good luck legal 403 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 10: lambs about forty Australian dollars these day, so. 404 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 11: You know, like a. 405 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 10: Sudden a beef roast about forty bucks as well defeated 406 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 10: the family. So look, Australian it's good quality. Doesn't matter 407 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 10: which way the government was to cut it. It's clearly 408 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 10: designed in my view, to appease the Trump administration and 409 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 10: try to gain a bit of traction in these negotiations 410 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 10: about tariff. 411 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, you make a very good point there. Now what 412 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 2: do you make of Scomo talking about China. 413 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 10: Well, it's not unrelated to the whole question about Australian beef. 414 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 10: I mean, Morrison's appeared before the US House Committee on 415 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 10: China and basically the message from Scott Morrison he's warning alliances, 416 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 10: alliances and partnerships that Washington has with other nations around 417 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 10: the world like Australia, these alliances and partnerships have got 418 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 10: to be strengthened, not diminished, to better resist Chinese and 419 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 10: I'm quoting here Chinese economic coercion. Now, Morrison, of course 420 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 10: was Prime Minister here twenty eighteen to twenty twenty two. 421 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 10: He was in charge when COVID broke out, and he's 422 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 10: told the committee that Australia was basically single for punishment 423 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 10: by Beijing because it was an American ally, not because 424 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 10: he demanded an independent international inquiry. And where COVID came from. 425 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 10: He says a China belted Australia with illegal trade bands, 426 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 10: diplomatic estrangement basically put us in the deep freeze in 427 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 10: terms of Australian exports of wine, you know, all the 428 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 10: stuff that it still brought a truckload of Australian iron 429 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 10: ore and coal because it needed all of those things, 430 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 10: but no beef, no wine. That's sort of twenty billion 431 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 10: dollars worth of lobsters and wine and all the rest 432 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 10: of the stuff in Australia selves to China anyway. Scott 433 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 10: Morrison says, listen, that was my experience as Prime Minister 434 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 10: under labor. Beijing has changed tac since Albanese has been elected. 435 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 10: Charm and flattery of China's weapons of choice, not just 436 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,439 Speaker 10: for Australia, he says, Beijing is trying to influence public 437 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 10: opinion right around the world and Western democracies. Morrison, I 438 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 10: loved this. He said, you've got to stand up with 439 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 10: your mates and resist coercion. I mean whether or not 440 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 10: the US House a Committee on China listens to him. 441 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 3: I don't know. 442 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 2: Good stuff. Thanks so much, muz, look after yourself. Murriold's 443 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 2: Australia correspondent. Okay, this is what you need to watch 444 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 2: out for when you go to Paris. So there is 445 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 2: a paper in It's been a lot Contexters. For the 446 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 2: longest time. There has been suspicion that the Parisians rip 447 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 2: you off if you are a tourist, and I mean 448 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,679 Speaker 2: any of these tourist hotspots, they go for you if 449 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 2: you're a tourist, right because I think you're an idiot, 450 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 2: especially if you sound like an American. And so what's 451 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 2: happened is that one of the leading papers over in 452 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 2: Paris decided to put this to the test. So they 453 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,239 Speaker 2: got a bona fide French person and they sent them 454 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 2: into a cafe, and then they got another I think 455 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 2: I think it was one of their reporters. And then 456 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,679 Speaker 2: they got another one of their reporters, and they dressed 457 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 2: this person up to look like an American tourist and 458 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 2: force this poor chap to speak in an American accent 459 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 2: and sent him in as well, and they ordered exactly 460 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 2: the same thing. They ordered water, and they ordered a 461 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 2: co or I think they just ordered a Coca cola. 462 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 2: The Parisian got given a free glass of water and 463 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 2: wasn't charged for it, and was given a Coca cola 464 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 2: for six euro fifty. The American tourist was charged six 465 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 2: euro for the water that the present had got for free, 466 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 2: and the Coca cola they were charged nine euro fifty, 467 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 2: which the other one had got for six euro fifty. 468 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,719 Speaker 2: So the difference in the bill was well, I mean, 469 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 2: it's more than double. Like the French person ended up 470 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 2: paying six euro fifty and the American tourist ended up 471 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 2: paying fifteen euro fifty. But and so I think that 472 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,479 Speaker 2: settles that right. But that's not the only example of it. 473 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 2: There's another example where I think it was the same. No, 474 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 2: it is the same. It's the same. Two of them 475 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 2: then go sent to another cafe to go and see 476 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 2: what happens there. The French one gets the obligatory ten 477 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,360 Speaker 2: percent service charge just added to their bill and they 478 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 2: pay it and that's the end of it. The American 479 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 2: one is told that they don't have to pay it, 480 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 2: but there's an expectation of a ten percent service charge 481 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 2: to the American agrees to it, but then the waiter 482 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 2: shields what they're doing and doesn't type in ten percent, 483 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 2: types in fifteen percent, and the American gets ripped off. 484 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 2: And there is another example of an undercover familiar ordering 485 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 2: a glass of Chebley which costs about or nine euro, 486 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 2: and gets served instead of the sap because they will 487 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 2: know the difference, obviously being a familiar. Instead of getting 488 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 2: served the Shibley at nine euro gets served the cheapest 489 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 2: drink on the menu five eurosav but still pays the 490 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,959 Speaker 2: nine Euroshibley price. Watch out when you go to Paris, 491 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 2: they don't like you. Sixteen away from. 492 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:29,400 Speaker 1: Five politics with centric credit, check your customers and get payments. 493 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 2: Certainy, it's fourteen away from five and Barry so Bo 494 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 2: our senior political correspondents with me. Hey Barry, good afternoon heaven. 495 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 2: So do you think these electoral changes are justified? Let's 496 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 2: start with the treating. The treating is fair enough, isn't 497 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 2: it so? 498 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 6: Because I think we're going to disagree here, and it's 499 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 6: unlike me to disagree with you here though, But treating, yes, 500 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,160 Speaker 6: I do believe that. And we saw it the manue 501 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 6: or made last year oh sorry, last election, where people 502 00:24:56,040 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 6: were encouraged at the voting place to change roles and 503 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 6: offer often incentives to do that. And that's totally appose. 504 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 6: It's not democratic as bringing pressure on people when they're 505 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 6: about to make their democratic vote. As far as the 506 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 6: drop kicks turning up on the day and expecting to 507 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 6: vote if they're not enrolled, I think they are dropkicks. 508 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 6: I don't think. I think if they want to take 509 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 6: part in democracy, they've got under these new rules, thirteen days. 510 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 6: That's a couple of days before early voting starts. Now 511 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 6: that the advertising campaign will, there'll be a blitz and 512 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 6: people will be well aware that the elections not only on, 513 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 6: but when they should be enrolled and if they can't 514 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 6: get their butts into gear and enroll on time. Then 515 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 6: they've got themselves to blame if their vote's not counted. 516 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 6: The thing is either by narrowing this time down and 517 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 6: not allowing and rolling on the day. It means that 518 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 6: come election night, we'll find out the result earlier than 519 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 6: what we do at the moment, just about a fortnight, 520 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 6: and it could be up to three weeks off this 521 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 6: ridiculous situation. 522 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 2: And how much earlier would we find out? 523 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,199 Speaker 6: Hopefully? You know that those special votes I guess you 524 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 6: know overseas voters, they have to be counted. But this 525 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 6: would preclude a lot of the nonsense that oh I 526 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 6: would imagine probably a week earlier. 527 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 2: Did you just make that up? What's your problem with it? 528 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 2: I mean, what you're doing is you're punishing them for 529 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 2: being stupid. 530 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 5: Vote well you know, I mean you should punish voters. 531 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 2: Stupid people are allowed to have as much. 532 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 6: Votes. I've got to say, but I noticed that you 533 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,959 Speaker 6: say it with more lean to the left. So what 534 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 6: you're saying is the left voters are stupid, more stupid 535 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 6: than those vot I have dug yourself into a hole 536 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 6: here as well. 537 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 2: So this will affect people who are predominant who move addresses. Right, 538 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 2: So we're talking about students, talking about we're talking about 539 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 2: people who are itinerant, maybe people who are. 540 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 6: Not making excuses for dropkicks. 541 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 2: I just I just don't. I just I think that 542 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 2: the punishment is completely disproportionate to the other. 543 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 6: Not allowed to vote. Well, I'll tell you what next 544 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 6: connection they'll be out in time. 545 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 2: Tell me what's happened with out here? Or why is 546 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 2: this a problem again? 547 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 6: Well, I love it because Winston can't stand the word 548 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 6: being used in a question in Parliament. He gets really 549 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 6: uptired about it. The word that he says that this 550 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 6: country is known as a word is New Zealand. That's 551 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 6: what we are, not art Roer. And there was only 552 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 6: ironically only one question on the order paper today that 553 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 6: are to roll in it, and thank goodness it wasn't 554 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 6: erected at Winston because he refuses to answer. Well, I've 555 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 6: got to say to justify his case as to why 556 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 6: the word should not be used instead of New Zealand. 557 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 6: Peters quoted the New Zealand Geographic Board, which failed to 558 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 6: impress speak of jury. 559 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 9: Brownly, the board has no jurisdiction over the country name 560 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 9: of New Zealand And. 561 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 5: To change it would require an Act of Parliament and 562 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 5: of quotes. 563 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,479 Speaker 12: Members may speak in any of the three languages at 564 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,719 Speaker 12: any time. If other members do not like certain words, 565 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 12: they do not have to use them. In his time 566 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 12: serving New Zealand the capacity of Minister of Foreign Affairs, 567 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 12: he would have presented the New Zealand passport at various 568 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 12: passport stations around the world and never had questioned the 569 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 12: fact that our passport has the word altioa on the 570 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 12: front of it. That's for all of those years I 571 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 12: might use the term familiar with the member. Not a syllable, 572 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 12: not a sound, not a mutter, not a murmur, No 573 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 12: condemnation whatsoever from a government he was part of. 574 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 13: That is the end of the matter. 575 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 6: There you go, Wisdon take that, put that in your 576 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 6: pipe and smoke. 577 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 2: Its stupid anyway.

We've pumped billions and billions of 618 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 16: dollars into kind or AURA and other programs, and homelessness increased. 619 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 3: So money is not necessarily the answer. 620 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 10: Back tomorrow at six am the Mic Hosking Breakfast with 621 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 10: a Vida News talk. 622 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 2: Z b oh Well, I am very sorry to say 623 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 2: that Auckland Council has been wasting its time today on 624 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 2: the helicopter issue because they've been here, because you know that, 625 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 2: you know, there are some people who are very angry 626 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 2: at the Mobras for having the halipads set up in 627 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 2: westme or wherever the hell it is on that side 628 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 2: of things, and there are some people who want to 629 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 2: get rid of helicopters all together across Auckland City, and 630 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 2: so they've been they've been bending Auckland councils there about 631 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,959 Speaker 2: it today, telling them why we need to get rid 632 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 2: of all of them.

Resign his job because 658 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 2: he has misled the public, because he told us that 659 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 2: Adrian resigned in a personal decision where clearly it's not 660 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 2: a personal decision. He was behaving like a clown and 661 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 2: there was pressure on him to quit anyway. Nikola Willis 662 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 2: obviously as the person who ultimately I think is the 663 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 2: one who decides, at least politically, She's going to be 664 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 2: with us shortly to explain that.

Heather Dupasy on Drive with one 669 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: New Zealand let's get connected news talks. 670 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 5: That'd be good afternoon. 671 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 2: The government is changing the rules around voting. Free food, 672 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 2: free drinks, free entertainment. Near voting booths are going to 673 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 2: be banned and same day enrollments are gone, which means 674 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 2: that you can't vote unless you remember to enroll before 675 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 2: voting starts. Paul Goldsmith as the Justice Minister, High Paul 676 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 2: hi Hen, very well, thank you. These rules around treating 677 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 2: that's to avoid a repeat of the manere Wami situation. 678 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 17: Right, Well, that sort of thing. Yes, I mean, obviously 679 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 17: it's important that we have the rules that are robust 680 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 17: and worked and so we're just amping them up a bit. 681 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 2: And why are you changing the rules around voting on 682 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 2: election day and in advanced voting. 683 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 17: Well, look, fundamentally you were acall that we had to 684 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,280 Speaker 17: wait three weeks to get an out the final outcome 685 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 17: of the election last time. It always used to take 686 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,359 Speaker 17: two weeks. It's gone to three. And the advice I 687 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 17: was getting was if we didn't do anything, we're hitting 688 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 17: going to struggle to even make three might be onto four. 689 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,800 Speaker 17: And it's putting a lot of pressure on the system. 690 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 17: And what's happened over the last few years is the people. 691 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 17: More and more people have been enrolling on election day 692 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,240 Speaker 17: or just before, and that all has to be sorted 693 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 17: out before they can do the vote counting. And so 694 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 17: we're just having to get the system sustainable because we 695 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 17: want you know, we're proud of our electoral system. We 696 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 17: wanted to work. 697 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 2: Well, how many people would do this? Is Labor correct 698 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 2: to say it's about one hundred and ten thousand people? 699 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 17: Well, yeah, about one hundred thousand people enrolled on election 700 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,399 Speaker 17: day and you you could never used to be able 701 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,399 Speaker 17: to do that. It was only a couple of five 702 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,439 Speaker 17: years ago that Labor introduced election day enrollments. So look, 703 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 17: we're perfectly confident people with a clear message, No, you've 704 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 17: got to get enrolled earlier. We'll be able to do it, 705 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 17: but we need to send that clear message. 706 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 2: Is that one hundred thousand is that election day and 707 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 2: advanced voting. 708 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 17: Or just election day no election day? 709 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 2: So geez, it could be a lot bigger than that 710 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 2: if you count the two weeks of advanced voting as well. 711 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, there's a sort of a probably two or 712 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 17: three hundred thousand people that have gotten into the habit 713 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 17: of doing that, and so we've just got to change 714 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:23,840 Speaker 17: the way. 715 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 2: For do we not run the risk that two to 716 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 2: three one hundred thousand people forget or expect the same 717 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 2: kind of behavior as last time and just do not 718 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:32,880 Speaker 2: get the chance to vote. 719 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,319 Speaker 17: Well, I mean that's I mean one of the core 720 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 17: roles of the electoral commissioners to encourage people to get enrolled, 721 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,319 Speaker 17: and that they've got plenty of millions of dollars to 722 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,840 Speaker 17: do that, and they will. I mean the Aussie's you know, 723 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 17: they close their role twenty six days before the election, 724 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,840 Speaker 17: and you know, so if the Aussies can manage it, 725 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 17: I'm sure we can. 726 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 2: Why don't we just get more people counting the votes 727 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 2: to get through it faster? 728 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 17: Well, it already costs nearly three hundred million dollars over 729 00:35:59,239 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 17: three years. 730 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,320 Speaker 2: So come on, that's not all the counting people with 731 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 2: that expensive Well, how much to the counting people cost? 732 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 17: Well, there's a lot of them, and that's a broader issue. 733 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 17: We need to get some better technology in terms of 734 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 17: vote counting. 735 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,359 Speaker 2: Are sure this is a good idea, Paul? It doesn't 736 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:17,800 Speaker 2: sound like a good idea. 737 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 17: Oh, I think it's a perfectly good idea. In the UK, 738 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 17: it's twelve days before election day. There's many countries do this. 739 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,240 Speaker 17: You send a clear signal if you want to engage, 740 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 17: you want to vote, you make sure you're enrolled. It's 741 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 17: actually legal. You are required legally to enroll within one 742 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 17: month of any change of circumstances. And we're also changing 743 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 17: the rules so that they can automatically update enrollment so 744 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 17: it's easier for people. It's all just about trying to 745 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 17: get the system as efficient as we can so we 746 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,319 Speaker 17: can get an outcome sooner rather than later. 747 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 2: Okay, thank you appreciate it, Paul Goldsmith, Justice Minister. 748 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 3: Heather due for see Allen. 749 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,360 Speaker 2: There is yet another revelation about Adrian or and emails 750 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 2: now being released in which his boss Neil Quigley apologizes 751 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,320 Speaker 2: to a Treasury staffer about U's behavior in a meeting 752 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 2: which happened two weeks before he quit. Neil Quigley says, 753 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 2: I'm sorry Adrian lost is call with you this afternoon. 754 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:05,839 Speaker 2: He should have been able to give you a more 755 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:06,880 Speaker 2: dispassionate answer. 756 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:07,279 Speaker 15: Now. 757 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 2: This has led to renewed calls for Neil Quigley to 758 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 2: leave his job for misleading the public because he said 759 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,279 Speaker 2: Adrianaw's resignation was actually a personal decision. Nikola Willis is 760 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 2: the Finance Minister and with us now high Nikoler, Hello, 761 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 2: When we you informed that there were concerns about Adrianaw's. 762 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:28,360 Speaker 15: Behavior, Well, I was obviously aware that emotions were running 763 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 15: high about discussions over the funding agreement and how that 764 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 15: those were progressing. I was aware that the former governor 765 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 15: was uncomfortable with the way those discussions were progressing. And 766 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 15: I also became aware that he and the bank board 767 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 15: had differing views about how much funding was necessary for 768 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,279 Speaker 15: the bank to meet it's Yes, but I. 769 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,240 Speaker 2: Mean how different opinions is different to concerns about behavior. 770 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 2: When we you told about concerns about behavior. 771 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 15: Well, I had heard reports that there had been a 772 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,120 Speaker 15: meeting with the Treasury in which emotions ran high. But 773 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,320 Speaker 15: I was not at that meeting, and it was clear 774 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 15: to me in my meeting with Adrian Or that emotions 775 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 15: were running high. 776 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,239 Speaker 2: Did he swear in front of you? No, there was 777 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 2: no swearing in the meeting that you were in. 778 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:12,920 Speaker 18: No. 779 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 2: Was there swearing in the Treasury meeting. 780 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 15: Not that I am aware of. 781 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,840 Speaker 2: Okay, did he quit amid these concerns about his behavior? 782 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:29,320 Speaker 15: Well, obviously, as I have communicated previously, Adrian Or made 783 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 15: a decision to resign. The employment discussions that preceded that 784 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 15: that occurred between him and the Reserve Bank Board. I 785 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 15: was not a party too, and so I am very 786 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,319 Speaker 15: conscious of the independence of the Reserve Bank and its 787 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 15: position as the employer both of the former governor and 788 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 15: the future government governor, and it's very important I respect 789 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,279 Speaker 15: their independence. The second constraint is that I have had 790 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 15: throughout this, I've been very conscious that my public commentary, 791 00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:02,840 Speaker 15: my observations, my speculation could potentially create legal or financial 792 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 15: risk for New Zealand. 793 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 2: Tax Adrian Or may sue you, as in. 794 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:12,920 Speaker 15: There is an employment relationship that existed between Adrian Or 795 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,319 Speaker 15: and the Reserve Bank Board, and as you well know, 796 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 15: employment matters are always very sensitive through that employment relationship. 797 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 2: No, has he threatened to sue the Reserve Bank. 798 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:31,759 Speaker 15: No on the public No, I am not. So this 799 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 15: is on the public record. An exit agreement was reached 800 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,840 Speaker 15: between the Reserve Bank Board and the former governor. I 801 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 15: have not been informed of the terms of that agreement, 802 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 15: but I am conscious that as the employer, they have 803 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 15: obligations to their former employee. 804 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 2: Okay, Nicholas, So I have known about concerns about adrian 805 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:53,920 Speaker 2: Or's behavior for probably I would say three years, from 806 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 2: the highest levels of the Reserve Bank. When were you 807 00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,880 Speaker 2: first informed of concerns around adrian Or's behavior. 808 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,439 Speaker 15: Well, when I was in opposition, I heard the same 809 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:05,759 Speaker 15: speculation that you did. 810 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,799 Speaker 2: Yes, And when you became the Finance minister, when were 811 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:10,920 Speaker 2: you first informed? Because Treasury has to inform you of 812 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,520 Speaker 2: the stuff, when did they first tell you that there 813 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 2: were concerns? 814 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 15: I did not have the formal reports of that nature. 815 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,959 Speaker 2: Not from Treasury. What about from Reserve Bank? 816 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 15: I had not had formal reports of nature. It is 817 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 15: on the public record, however, that I was made aware 818 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 15: of a complaint by an employee at the New Zealand Initiative, 819 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:36,879 Speaker 15: and that I took that complaint forward to the chair 820 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,080 Speaker 15: of the Reserve Bank Board because I viewed that it 821 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 15: went to an employment relationship. And I've been at pains 822 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 15: Heather not to get involved. 823 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 2: No, I understand. 824 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,440 Speaker 15: Actually the flip side of all of this, The thing 825 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 15: is that Master Finance gets into the employment relationship between 826 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,439 Speaker 15: the Reserve Bank Board and the governor. That is an 827 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 15: inappropriate over Nichola. 828 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,840 Speaker 2: It is becoming increasingly difficult to believe that the reason 829 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 2: that Adrian Orquitt was just because he had just made 830 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,160 Speaker 2: a personal decision one day. It is starting to look 831 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,359 Speaker 2: incredibly like something has gone down here with his behavior. So, 832 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,719 Speaker 2: given that Neil Quigley has told us, and I would, 833 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:10,960 Speaker 2: I would go so far as to say he's misled 834 00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,799 Speaker 2: us by saying it was a personal decision, do you 835 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,880 Speaker 2: have confidence in Neil Quigley if he is prepared to 836 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:18,759 Speaker 2: go out there and fib to the public. 837 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 15: Like that, Well, those are your words, not mine, and yes, 838 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,400 Speaker 15: I do have confidence in Neil quickly. I have also, however, 839 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:29,360 Speaker 15: previously shared my disappointment at the way information on this 840 00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 15: matter has been shared with New Zealanders. Today I had 841 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,840 Speaker 15: apprecieduled meeting with the entire board of the Reserve Bank, 842 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 15: and at that meeting I sought to convey to everyone 843 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:44,480 Speaker 15: present that I was disappointed with the way that this 844 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:48,800 Speaker 15: matter had been handled, given the ongoing public speculation. Because 845 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:53,400 Speaker 15: it's in New Zealand's interests that the Reserve Bank maintain 846 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 15: its reputation at all times, and I think would be 847 00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:00,880 Speaker 15: for handling, we wouldn't still be having these interviews this discussion. 848 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 2: Why did Adrian or quit Nicola. 849 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 15: Well, that is a matter that has been previously communicated 850 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:13,400 Speaker 15: by the Chairman of the Reserve Bank, and I allow 851 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 15: him to characterize that. 852 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 2: Okay, thank you very much, appreciate your time.

Hi, Julianne Kyodra, 883 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 2: how are you going good? 884 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:42,480 Speaker 3: Thanks? 885 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 2: Where do you want it? 886 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,719 Speaker 19: Well, we're here in Torona today, so we're calling to 887 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:53,320 Speaker 19: extend to who are services to be from Toronger, including 888 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:57,359 Speaker 19: Hamilton and Auckland. We've also talked about a night train 889 00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:01,160 Speaker 19: between Auckland and Wellington with Modern Come triple sleeper cars 890 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 19: and the southerner down in the South Island probably crash 891 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,400 Speaker 19: Church to Dunedin in the first instance. 892 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:09,800 Speaker 2: And how much would that all cost. 893 00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 19: Well, in the short term, there's some operating costs, like 894 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,880 Speaker 19: we could get to who you extended to Torona for 895 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,840 Speaker 19: maybe two million a year two and a half million 896 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,279 Speaker 19: a year, So we budgeted ten million over four years, 897 00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,040 Speaker 19: but it's going to be a bit. 898 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,960 Speaker 2: More to get the long term total budget, which. 899 00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:33,640 Speaker 19: Would be well, total budget for all the projects, including 900 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,520 Speaker 19: like a transformational improvement to the round network, which would 901 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,240 Speaker 19: mean a two and a half hour train journey between 902 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,760 Speaker 19: Torang and Auckland, is about five and a half billion 903 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:44,359 Speaker 19: over five years. 904 00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 15: So that's camps and operating. 905 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,319 Speaker 2: That's a lot more than I was expecting. Like I 906 00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,359 Speaker 2: was gearing up for like a cool one to two 907 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:51,719 Speaker 2: and I was going to I was going to call 908 00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 2: bs on that, but five and a half Hey, where 909 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:55,120 Speaker 2: you going to get that money? 910 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,360 Speaker 19: Well, it's less than twenty percent of what the government's 911 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:04,680 Speaker 19: currently planned to spend on its expensive highways program. And 912 00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,520 Speaker 19: there's a lot of potential funding methods, Like you know, 913 00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:11,840 Speaker 19: because obviously rail development, if you're doing really transformation or 914 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:16,200 Speaker 19: rail development. It's uplifting property values and it's usually leading 915 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,600 Speaker 19: to a lot of development, so that would be one 916 00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,200 Speaker 19: of the tools. But basically in our budget, you know, 917 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:22,719 Speaker 19: I don't know if you saw, we had a fully 918 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,839 Speaker 19: costed oh budget and now a week before budget. Yeah, 919 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,359 Speaker 19: so we we had some increases in taxation, but most 920 00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,640 Speaker 19: of the transport spend was coming from a reduction in 921 00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 19: some of the planned kapex on highways. And the great 922 00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,520 Speaker 19: thing about investing in rail is it not only benefits 923 00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,680 Speaker 19: the people who take the train, it actually benefits the 924 00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:44,479 Speaker 19: roads as well. 925 00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:44,919 Speaker 18: Yeah. 926 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,919 Speaker 2: Well, because there are a few people anyway. Listen, wonderful idea. 927 00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 2: Thank you, Juliane, appreciate it, Julie engine too, Green Party 928 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 2: transport spokesperson. Not going to happen obviously, five twenty two. 929 00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:59,160 Speaker 1: Checking the point of the story, it's hither duplicy lan 930 00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:03,239 Speaker 1: drive one New Zealand, let's get connected and us talk. 931 00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,480 Speaker 2: Sa'd be heither do I put my boat on the 932 00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,640 Speaker 2: shelf above my seat when I'm catching the train to 933 00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,319 Speaker 2: my batch and Totinger. Don't even do that, Cameron, you 934 00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:14,279 Speaker 2: will just rip Julianne's undease completely. Now five twenty five 935 00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:15,920 Speaker 2: let's be honest with each other about something. 936 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:16,200 Speaker 3: Right. 937 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,920 Speaker 2: That increase in in rough sleeping that the cities are 938 00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:23,680 Speaker 2: anecdotally reporting to that Homelessness report will be caused by 939 00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:25,960 Speaker 2: the shutting down of those emergency motels. I mean, I 940 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:27,920 Speaker 2: know the government's trying to avoid having to admit that, 941 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,920 Speaker 2: but that is the big thing that's changed since the election. 942 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 2: They've shut down the motels, and some of the people 943 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,239 Speaker 2: who were in those motels, or who might have gone 944 00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,080 Speaker 2: to those motels, have ended up on the streets. And 945 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,160 Speaker 2: I don't think that that's unexpected, that that is not 946 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,279 Speaker 2: an unexpected consequence of taking a tougher line on the motels. Now, 947 00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:47,400 Speaker 2: don't see me as tough, like hard hearted on this. 948 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,279 Speaker 2: I don't want anyone sleeping on the streets, and I 949 00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,920 Speaker 2: venture most of us don't. But I still think that 950 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,160 Speaker 2: shutting down those motels was a good idea because that 951 00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,440 Speaker 2: was out of hand, wasn't it. I mean, spending one 952 00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,319 Speaker 2: point four billion dollars on emergency accommodation in six years 953 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,319 Speaker 2: was just way too much money. I prefer that I 954 00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,640 Speaker 2: prefer the line the government's taking at the moment, which 955 00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:06,879 Speaker 2: is to put the obligation where it actually should be, 956 00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,600 Speaker 2: which is on family and friends, Which is to say 957 00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,839 Speaker 2: that if someone finds themselves god forbid, without a roof 958 00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:14,719 Speaker 2: over their heads, the first place that they should go 959 00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,000 Speaker 2: for help is not the state. It should be their 960 00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,640 Speaker 2: mum or their brother, or their auntie, or their son 961 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:21,719 Speaker 2: or their friend. And only then when all of their 962 00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,000 Speaker 2: options are exhausted and they really have no one to 963 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:27,440 Speaker 2: turn to, then should they turn to the state. But 964 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,560 Speaker 2: that is not what was happening with the emergency motels. 965 00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:31,440 Speaker 2: The state was the first port of call right if 966 00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:33,440 Speaker 2: you think about it, Actually, the state has stepped in 967 00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:35,760 Speaker 2: to take over a lot of roles that we normally 968 00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:37,520 Speaker 2: would have relied on each other for and in some 969 00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,040 Speaker 2: cases the sun avoidable and in some cases for the best, 970 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:43,520 Speaker 2: for example police or whatever. But in this case, let's 971 00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,600 Speaker 2: be honest, one point four billion dollars is a lot 972 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,239 Speaker 2: of money that could have been spent on anything else 973 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 2: that we are running dry on right now, healthcare, cops, education. 974 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,359 Speaker 2: So actually, first place you turn to if you don't 975 00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,759 Speaker 2: have somewhere to sleep is your family. Only at the 976 00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,480 Speaker 2: end of the road should the state step in here 977 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:03,760 Speaker 2: the heather, Why are you still banging on about Adrian 978 00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:06,200 Speaker 2: Or he quit months ago. You're making a fool of yourself. Listen, 979 00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,279 Speaker 2: none of us want to be None of us want 980 00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,200 Speaker 2: to be banging on about Adrian. All right, I don't 981 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:12,680 Speaker 2: want to be banging on about Adrian Or. But the 982 00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,120 Speaker 2: problem is there's so much dishonesty here, and there's so 983 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,680 Speaker 2: much evidence now that there was a concerted effort to 984 00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,359 Speaker 2: try to hide what really happened here. That is kind 985 00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,000 Speaker 2: of forcing us into banging on about it. And also, 986 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,799 Speaker 2: it's not just a random ministry. It's the Reserve Bank. 987 00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,120 Speaker 2: He's the Reserve he was the Reserve Bank governor. It's 988 00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:29,959 Speaker 2: supposed to be a political and you're supposed to trust 989 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,000 Speaker 2: the guy implicitly. Anyway, I feel like that's a that's 990 00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,600 Speaker 2: enough Adrian Or for now, isn't it? We talk about 991 00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:41,759 Speaker 2: something else. Have you seen Sasha Baron Cohen's body? Now, 992 00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,080 Speaker 2: I mean from one extreme to the other, Adrian or 993 00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,319 Speaker 2: his body to Sasha Baron Cohen's body.

Now, have you got private healthcare? 1036 00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:42,440 Speaker 3: No? I do not. 1037 00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:44,680 Speaker 22: Why not kind of ford it? 1038 00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,879 Speaker 20: We've had I've got previous medical issues, so I kind 1039 00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:48,279 Speaker 20: of thought it. 1040 00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:50,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, this is actually the part of the problem, 1041 00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:53,040 Speaker 2: isn't it? Like there will be some MPs now who 1042 00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,120 Speaker 2: have medical issues and if they give up their private 1043 00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:58,799 Speaker 2: health care for the sake of appeasing some people, they 1044 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:00,400 Speaker 2: may never be able to get it again. Is it 1045 00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:00,839 Speaker 2: worth it? 1046 00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:03,000 Speaker 20: Well, they don't have to give it up. They just 1047 00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,080 Speaker 20: have to wave their rights to private health care. 1048 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,399 Speaker 2: That's so they keep on paying for it. But then 1049 00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:11,680 Speaker 2: then they only exclusively use the public health system. 1050 00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:13,640 Speaker 20: Yeah, I think that that means that they actually have 1051 00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:15,600 Speaker 20: some skin in the game, isn't it? Like Simon Brown says, 1052 00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:17,920 Speaker 20: he doesn't have private insudance and I respect him for that, 1053 00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:20,120 Speaker 20: So he should just say make it policy. Now you 1054 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:21,840 Speaker 20: know he's got nothing.

Are they going to make their 1077 00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:18,640 Speaker 23: kids go to state schools so that you know, their 1078 00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:22,160 Speaker 23: kids can experience you know, state schools, so. 1079 00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:25,200 Speaker 2: Actually allies get and angelo they can send their kids 1080 00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:26,279 Speaker 2: to public schools too. 1081 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,320 Speaker 23: Oh, how bloody ridiculous. What are they going to do? 1082 00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,040 Speaker 23: Make them move into low socioeconomic housing areas as well, 1083 00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:33,839 Speaker 23: sell their cars so they've got to walk and catch 1084 00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:37,399 Speaker 23: the train that Julianne's banging on about. No, I mean, 1085 00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,919 Speaker 23: all this is is just basically trying to get into 1086 00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,279 Speaker 23: the news. And I'm really pleased that they have, but 1087 00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:43,880 Speaker 23: it's a ridiculous idea. 1088 00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:48,520 Speaker 11: Yeah, Phil, Yeah, I think with the sun and there's 1089 00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:51,920 Speaker 11: somewhere forty percent, call zero percent of all New Zealanders 1090 00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,440 Speaker 11: have some sort of health insurance, which demonstrates what they're 1091 00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,359 Speaker 11: saying is completely wrong. That cannot be by definition only 1092 00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:01,919 Speaker 11: wealthy New Zealanders. It must be working people and so on. 1093 00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:04,560 Speaker 11: And of course what's also happening is that health insurance 1094 00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:07,560 Speaker 11: is not just for its for sorts of things, whether 1095 00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:10,120 Speaker 11: it's for dental care or for major medical emergency and 1096 00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:13,040 Speaker 11: so on. And then if she helps New Zealand. In Australia, 1097 00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,440 Speaker 11: they take this so seriously that they give you an 1098 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,880 Speaker 11: tax incentive to go and get private health insurance because 1099 00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,120 Speaker 11: they know that that takes pressure off the public system. 1100 00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,000 Speaker 11: So it's a silly thing to say. And I think 1101 00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:26,480 Speaker 11: actually we should be proud that New Zealanders and such 1102 00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,600 Speaker 11: numbers are prepared to take out an investment on making 1103 00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:31,360 Speaker 11: sure that they just get the best care they possibly 1104 00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:32,520 Speaker 11: can they want. 1105 00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:35,360 Speaker 23: The should celebrate phil I think you know and have 1106 00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:37,719 Speaker 23: this is something people aren't talking about. It's not only 1107 00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,960 Speaker 23: the politicians that make these decisions, which is what you know. 1108 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,400 Speaker 23: These people are wanting the politicians to be aware of 1109 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,560 Speaker 23: what the public health systems like. Are you going to 1110 00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,919 Speaker 23: make all the bureaucrats that write the reports and feed 1111 00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:49,840 Speaker 23: into the policy, You're going to make them experience the 1112 00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:52,440 Speaker 23: public health system as well? It doesn't make sense. 1113 00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:52,440 Speaker 3: I think. 1114 00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:56,719 Speaker 2: And the thing I suppose that it seems to feel 1115 00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,799 Speaker 2: that they believe that politicians are not motivated by trying 1116 00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:01,680 Speaker 2: to do the best thing for the country, right, Like 1117 00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:04,000 Speaker 2: the insinuation there is if they don't have skin in 1118 00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:06,000 Speaker 2: the game, then they're going to make crappy decisions for us, 1119 00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:07,879 Speaker 2: whereas if they have skin in the game, they'll actually try. 1120 00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:10,120 Speaker 2: But I believe politicians, even if I disagree with them, 1121 00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:11,000 Speaker 2: are actually trying. 1122 00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:15,080 Speaker 11: Don't you think it's exactly right? That's what it's a stunt. 1123 00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,960 Speaker 11: I mean, I don't know have a single politician of 1124 00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:20,759 Speaker 11: any for I don't have many, many thousands, probably over 1125 00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:23,440 Speaker 11: the years now that didn't take these kinds of things 1126 00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:25,160 Speaker 11: seriously and didn't what we'ren't trying to do their very 1127 00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:27,520 Speaker 11: best for New Zealanders. They've got three different views. 1128 00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:28,160 Speaker 3: About how to do that. 1129 00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:30,719 Speaker 11: But of course what we all need to understand is 1130 00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:32,480 Speaker 11: we want money, lots of money spent on all sorts 1131 00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,680 Speaker 11: of things, and the nature of politics is it's about choices, 1132 00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,040 Speaker 11: and literally it's about rationing. We can't have a four 1133 00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:41,680 Speaker 11: lane highway were either, because politicians are rationing in a 1134 00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:44,520 Speaker 11: pretty rational fashion. Usually, how that money might be spent, 1135 00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:46,560 Speaker 11: and I think we should give them a bit more 1136 00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:48,719 Speaker 11: respect than that allow them to carry on their private lives, 1137 00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:50,880 Speaker 11: and they should call them to account for the performance 1138 00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,799 Speaker 11: that they have about creating a great health system rather 1139 00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:57,480 Speaker 11: than some performative thing some stunt about whether they have 1140 00:54:57,480 --> 00:54:58,400 Speaker 11: private insurance or not. 1141 00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:00,560 Speaker 2: Right now, Alie, do you think people who who don't 1142 00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:03,600 Speaker 2: remember to enroll before voting day should be prohibited from voting? 1143 00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:05,239 Speaker 4: No? 1144 00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:09,440 Speaker 23: I don't, but I really hate that comment from Seymour. 1145 00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:13,400 Speaker 23: I mean, who uses words like dropkick these days? And 1146 00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:17,480 Speaker 23: you know these people are meant to be professional and statesman. 1147 00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,120 Speaker 23: But I heard that and just cringed, and he's just 1148 00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:23,719 Speaker 23: opening himself up and the argument actually to huge criticism. 1149 00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,319 Speaker 23: I do agree with Missus Goldsmith talking about how this 1150 00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:31,040 Speaker 23: takes the pressure off come election day. I mean, we 1151 00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:33,040 Speaker 23: saw it last time. It just takes a long time 1152 00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:36,280 Speaker 23: to process everything when you're also processing so many people, 1153 00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:37,600 Speaker 23: you know, enrolling on the day. 1154 00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:40,160 Speaker 2: So I do support it, Phil. 1155 00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:42,359 Speaker 11: Yeah, I think it's the right thing to do. Bear 1156 00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:45,359 Speaker 11: in mind Australia that she is twice as long even 1157 00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,480 Speaker 11: what's out on forwardeen days now, Australias got twenty eight 1158 00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:51,319 Speaker 11: and I think the voting. Voting is not just a right, 1159 00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,000 Speaker 11: it's also a responsibility. And I think to take you, 1160 00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:54,200 Speaker 11: do you. 1161 00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,560 Speaker 2: Realize how many people might lose the ability to vote 1162 00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:58,960 Speaker 2: as a result of this, well stupidity. 1163 00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:00,680 Speaker 11: But still I don't think it's I don't think it's 1164 00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,080 Speaker 11: going to be that big because human nature, you can't 1165 00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,800 Speaker 11: wait till the last minute to enroll, and it's the 1166 00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:07,759 Speaker 11: last one of the sporting days out not on the day. 1167 00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:10,160 Speaker 11: I think you'll find quite a few more people will 1168 00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:10,799 Speaker 11: actually get roll. 1169 00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:12,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right. I mean people will see the deadline 1170 00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:14,480 Speaker 2: and some of them will get their a energy. But 1171 00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:16,240 Speaker 2: what if it is fill as big as three hundred 1172 00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:18,520 Speaker 2: thousand people, which Paul Goldsmith was a number that he 1173 00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:19,480 Speaker 2: pulled out, that's massive. 1174 00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,040 Speaker 11: Well fish, I doubt it is that big. But even 1175 00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:24,359 Speaker 11: if it is, as I say, voting is a responsibility 1176 00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:25,920 Speaker 11: as well as a right. If you're not prepared to 1177 00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:28,799 Speaker 11: take the responsibility, teeshy, look at what the policies are 1178 00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,759 Speaker 11: to register yourself in good time and to enable the 1179 00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:34,520 Speaker 11: electoral result to be known more quickly than was the 1180 00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:36,560 Speaker 11: case last time. They I don't think that's good for 1181 00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:37,200 Speaker 11: the country either. 1182 00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:41,040 Speaker 23: It's not part of our life though, right, why aren't 1183 00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:43,480 Speaker 23: we teaching civics and schools? I mean that's another thing. 1184 00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:46,000 Speaker 23: People don't understand what's going on, and I. 1185 00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:46,239 Speaker 11: Think it was. 1186 00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:48,359 Speaker 23: Actually if it was actually a part of our curriculum, 1187 00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:50,359 Speaker 23: then people would be able to carry that through into 1188 00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:51,959 Speaker 23: adulthood and they might enroll. 1189 00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:54,200 Speaker 2: You don't think people already know Ali, They see the 1190 00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:56,359 Speaker 2: Orange Man, they know that that's part of the job 1191 00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:57,480 Speaker 2: that I think they just can't be. 1192 00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:01,160 Speaker 23: They know that they don't care. You're right, they don't care. 1193 00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:03,239 Speaker 23: But what I'm saying is, if you're teaching civics and 1194 00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:05,879 Speaker 23: school you can actually explain to people how important it 1195 00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:08,120 Speaker 23: is the exercise that democratic right. 1196 00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:10,319 Speaker 2: Okay, I see I am going soft to my old age. 1197 00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:13,800 Speaker 2: Will take a break, come back and talk about should 1198 00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:17,480 Speaker 2: we ao ao not Australian open think about it? Sixteen 1199 00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:18,280 Speaker 2: away from six. 1200 00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:23,200 Speaker 1: The Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty, the Ones 1201 00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:24,760 Speaker 1: for Unmasked Results. 1202 00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:28,120 Speaker 2: Whither you have become soft. You shouldn't have read Justinder's book. 1203 00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:30,080 Speaker 2: That was my mistake, Dennis, that was bang on. That 1204 00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:33,880 Speaker 2: was my mistake. She's gotten to my head. Actually, I'll 1205 00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,920 Speaker 2: talk about a book I'm reading in just a minute, Phil, Okay, 1206 00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:38,600 Speaker 2: do we want to talk about Adrian All. 1207 00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:40,640 Speaker 11: If you want? 1208 00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:44,120 Speaker 2: Should Neil quickly could well? 1209 00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:48,320 Speaker 11: Is the just the whole thing was just a mess, 1210 00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:50,600 Speaker 11: wasn't it? The who way the whole thing was handled. 1211 00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:55,439 Speaker 11: So where I think Neil Quickly should be considering how 1212 00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:57,600 Speaker 11: he reacted and what he should do about it was 1213 00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:01,480 Speaker 11: not necessarily because maybe someone misfit, maybe he didn't disclose 1214 00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:04,160 Speaker 11: something was the whole process was a bit of a mess, 1215 00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:07,520 Speaker 11: and it shouldn't have been because, of course, the confidence 1216 00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:11,040 Speaker 11: of the financial markets is very much defined by the 1217 00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:13,320 Speaker 11: Reserve Bank being seen as very stable and above board. 1218 00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:15,520 Speaker 11: So it was the whole way the thing was treated 1219 00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:17,919 Speaker 11: that I think got everybody in trouble. And the fact 1220 00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,040 Speaker 11: we're still raking over the coals just demonstrate. 1221 00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:22,760 Speaker 2: But the only reason we're raking over the coals fill 1222 00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:24,920 Speaker 2: because they didn't tell us everything up front, right, And 1223 00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:27,680 Speaker 2: then you go you OIA the Treasury, you get a 1224 00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:29,440 Speaker 2: whole bunch of documents, but you don't get this, and 1225 00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,200 Speaker 2: you go back in u o IA again. Now you 1226 00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:35,120 Speaker 2: get this email. It's a it's just it really is 1227 00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:37,160 Speaker 2: making them look like they tried to hide it. 1228 00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:40,280 Speaker 11: Well, that's exactly right. And whether they did or not, 1229 00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:42,800 Speaker 11: and I, you know, I had a lot of trust 1230 00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:44,960 Speaker 11: and faith in near Quickly is a very high quality 1231 00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:48,840 Speaker 11: New Zealander. But that sort of process is just unacceptable 1232 00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:53,000 Speaker 11: in a public position of the type that the Reserve 1233 00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:54,959 Speaker 11: Bank governor is, you know, So you can't just hide 1234 00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:57,120 Speaker 11: behind privacy and say, wollw I'm not going to see here. No, 1235 00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:00,440 Speaker 11: you need to explain to the markets and to everybody else, 1236 00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:02,800 Speaker 11: because the reserve banks so important at all of our lives, 1237 00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:05,640 Speaker 11: exactly what happened in otherwise you'll get people not having 1238 00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:08,560 Speaker 11: confidence in the Reserve Bank. So that's really what I 1239 00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:11,120 Speaker 11: think You'll Quickly and the Board of the Reserve Bank 1240 00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:13,240 Speaker 11: should be thinking about did we do that right? What 1241 00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:18,000 Speaker 11: should be the consequences of that? And there's that matter resignation. 1242 00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:20,280 Speaker 11: I don't know the answer the question, but that's really 1243 00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:23,240 Speaker 11: the conversation I think, rather than you know, was there 1244 00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:26,120 Speaker 11: a misleading conversation about a particular statement that was made? 1245 00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:27,680 Speaker 2: Alie, what do you think? 1246 00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:30,040 Speaker 23: Yeah, look, I agree, Look I think this is front footing. 1247 00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:32,280 Speaker 23: Now I think that they were I mean, if I 1248 00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:34,240 Speaker 23: was advising them, they need to come out. It needs 1249 00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:36,400 Speaker 23: to be in their culpra. I don't think this is 1250 00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:39,160 Speaker 23: a sackable offense. I get very tired of people wanting 1251 00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:43,080 Speaker 23: people's heads on sticks. People make mistakes, and I think 1252 00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:46,360 Speaker 23: this was a mistake. It was poorly handled, as you said, Phil, 1253 00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:48,600 Speaker 23: but I think now they need to come out and 1254 00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:52,280 Speaker 23: say that and own it and allow everyone to move on. 1255 00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:55,560 Speaker 23: And by not actually doing that, as you said earlier here, 1256 00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:57,840 Speaker 23: that this is just going on and on and on 1257 00:59:58,080 --> 00:59:58,760 Speaker 23: enough already. 1258 00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:01,560 Speaker 2: Yep, I agree with that. Right now, I'm feeling reasonably 1259 01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:04,600 Speaker 2: chuffed with ourselves, with all of us collectively filth for 1260 01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:07,720 Speaker 2: the way that we've handled the transgender rules. Are the inclusive, 1261 01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:10,760 Speaker 2: you know, the participation in community sport without it getting ugly. 1262 01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:11,680 Speaker 2: What do you think? 1263 01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:13,760 Speaker 11: Yeah, I think we have actually we managed to dodge 1264 01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:15,720 Speaker 11: I think you you're right about dodging a bottle of 1265 01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:17,800 Speaker 11: this because in other countries of the UK, of the 1266 01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:19,840 Speaker 11: US and so on, it's just turned into a mess. 1267 01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:22,640 Speaker 11: And I actually agree what the government's trying to do here, 1268 01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:25,840 Speaker 11: even that, even if I wasn't trying to be anti woke, 1269 01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:27,680 Speaker 11: you know, in the way that they are will certainly 1270 01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:29,920 Speaker 11: the New Zealand first, guys are because I think it 1271 01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:32,920 Speaker 11: should be down to a decision of the sport, given 1272 01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:36,120 Speaker 11: the kind of the best basic nature of each individual sport. 1273 01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:38,680 Speaker 11: And I was thinking this afternoon, there's a big difference 1274 01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:42,040 Speaker 11: between rugby on the one hand, a contact sport, and snooker. 1275 01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:44,720 Speaker 11: So maybe if you're the head of the snooker sport, 1276 01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:46,560 Speaker 11: you say, well, here's here's some rules, because it doesn't 1277 01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:48,640 Speaker 11: matter so much. But in the case of rugby, there's 1278 01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:50,960 Speaker 11: a physical safety issue involved, so you can have a 1279 01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:53,520 Speaker 11: different think about that. And I think so I think 1280 01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:55,680 Speaker 11: it should be that left down to each individual sport, 1281 01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:58,200 Speaker 11: but I think the overarching thing should be that people 1282 01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:01,160 Speaker 11: should be able to participate. Of course, that's the idea, 1283 01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:03,800 Speaker 11: but you know, the different sports act in different ways, 1284 01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:05,800 Speaker 11: and so you've just got to I think it's the 1285 01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:06,880 Speaker 11: right thing that comments, don't you. 1286 01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:08,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, Ali, I agree, And at least you know it 1287 01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:10,560 Speaker 2: didn't go full ugly like it was going to go 1288 01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:13,520 Speaker 2: with Winston Peters wanted to withhold funding and stuff like that. 1289 01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:16,520 Speaker 23: Ah No, I agree, but and I agree with you 1290 01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:18,960 Speaker 23: as well, and Phil, I think they have dodged a bullet. 1291 01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,080 Speaker 23: But my question is I'm going to sound like Luckxon. Now, 1292 01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:23,960 Speaker 23: my question to you is should we have dodged the bullet? 1293 01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,919 Speaker 23: Is this about dodging a bullet? What I get frustrated 1294 01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:29,040 Speaker 23: about is that no one seems to be prepared to 1295 01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:31,600 Speaker 23: have a conversation about these things. And the more we 1296 01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:34,000 Speaker 23: dodge the bullet and the more we don't talk about it, 1297 01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:36,360 Speaker 23: the more we don't actually get it out into the ore. 1298 01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:39,600 Speaker 2: We aren't going to have the conversation because every single 1299 01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:41,480 Speaker 2: sport is going to have to have the conversation, right, 1300 01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:43,040 Speaker 2: so the hard stuff actually out ahead? 1301 01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:46,480 Speaker 23: Yes, yeah, but is that fair too? I mean by 1302 01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:49,720 Speaker 23: removing the guidelines, you're essentially going not our problem and 1303 01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:52,080 Speaker 23: handing it over to each individual group. Now, is it 1304 01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:54,640 Speaker 23: fair for each individual group and their community to be 1305 01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:56,880 Speaker 23: able to or have to be dealing with it in 1306 01:01:57,480 --> 01:01:58,120 Speaker 23: their community. 1307 01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:01,520 Speaker 2: Politicians can't just make one rule for as Phil was saying, 1308 01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:03,480 Speaker 2: rugby that also applies to snooker. 1309 01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:06,080 Speaker 23: No, and you don't have to. So the guidelines should 1310 01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:08,400 Speaker 23: have taken that into consideration. I think this is really 1311 01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:10,280 Speaker 23: slack of the government. Yeah, I think they should have 1312 01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:13,920 Speaker 23: provided the guidelines and then allow the organization some movement 1313 01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:16,440 Speaker 23: within those. But the conversation's got to be had. We 1314 01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:17,760 Speaker 23: can't keep dodging the bullet. 1315 01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:21,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, guys, listen, Yes, I think it's I. 1316 01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:24,920 Speaker 11: Think it's the best handled closest to those participating in 1317 01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:27,720 Speaker 11: the sport bureaucrats in Wellington deciding what sugar should not 1318 01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:30,480 Speaker 11: happen actually is what leads to those kinds of arguments. 1319 01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:32,720 Speaker 11: I think it's much better to be done by sports 1320 01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:36,720 Speaker 11: people and by sports administrators closer to the action, closer 1321 01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:39,520 Speaker 11: to their communities, and they'll see what's acceptable to their 1322 01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:41,240 Speaker 11: communities and they'll be able to handle that. So I 1323 01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:42,840 Speaker 11: actually think it's the right thing to do, not just 1324 01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:46,720 Speaker 11: in terms of result of getting it out, but also 1325 01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:47,880 Speaker 11: in terms of resolving it. 1326 01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:50,760 Speaker 2: Guys, lovely to chat to the pair of you.

So he held his press conference and 1367 01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:37,920 Speaker 2: he held it in christ Church today and he was 1368 01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:41,240 Speaker 2: asked all of the questions like should he discount the 1369 01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:42,920 Speaker 2: butter that he sells in New Zealand. 1370 01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:44,960 Speaker 21: We know have an obligation to sell here in New 1371 01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:47,320 Speaker 21: Zealand and we do that and we support news and economy, 1372 01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:49,280 Speaker 21: but our job is going to not come in with 1373 01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:52,600 Speaker 21: a two tier pricing system to your question and discount 1374 01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:54,080 Speaker 21: here in the news in a market where we have 1375 01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:56,360 Speaker 21: an international obligations to it to operator as well. 1376 01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:58,000 Speaker 2: They did not like that, so they asked and that 1377 01:04:58,040 --> 01:04:59,160 Speaker 2: again but I have an. 1378 01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:01,240 Speaker 21: Obligation to try support the news in an economy at 1379 01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:03,240 Speaker 21: the same time, so as a very small. 1380 01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:04,560 Speaker 13: Portion of that a solar New Zealand. 1381 01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:07,320 Speaker 21: My job to think about us as the role we 1382 01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:09,720 Speaker 21: play in the international market and the role we play 1383 01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:10,480 Speaker 21: here in New Zealand. 1384 01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:12,800 Speaker 2: Then this was probably the most awkward part. 1385 01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:13,960 Speaker 22: What do you get paid? 1386 01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:16,360 Speaker 21: It's not about what I get paid, but what do 1387 01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:17,840 Speaker 21: you get paid by? You can see that at the 1388 01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:19,640 Speaker 21: end your report which comes out a few months time. 1389 01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:20,920 Speaker 2: Just under six million dollars. 1390 01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:23,880 Speaker 21: It's about what we can do to support. 1391 01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:24,400 Speaker 18: The news on economy. 1392 01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:26,920 Speaker 2: And then finally he was asked, but how do we 1393 01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:28,320 Speaker 2: actually fix the butter price? 1394 01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:32,560 Speaker 21: Ultimately, consumers that make their own calls on that, you know, 1395 01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:36,200 Speaker 21: making sure we've got the right retail settings and play 1396 01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:39,720 Speaker 21: to encourage the right level of competition. You'll see competition 1397 01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:41,920 Speaker 21: make their own calls around lost leaders. That's not our 1398 01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:46,320 Speaker 21: call to get involved in. Basically becomes a decision for 1399 01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:48,520 Speaker 21: the consumer how much they consume at what price. 1400 01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:52,000 Speaker 2: Basically what he's saying is you can't fix the butter price, right. 1401 01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:55,160 Speaker 2: You just need more, You need more supermarket competition. You 1402 01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:57,520 Speaker 2: need to buy smarter you need to make a trip 1403 01:05:57,520 --> 01:06:00,120 Speaker 2: to Costco who are selling it at a at a 1404 01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:02,440 Speaker 2: cut rate price. As a lost leader, you need to 1405 01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:04,240 Speaker 2: make those decisions. That's the only way to bring it 1406 01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:08,800 Speaker 2: down anyway.

That's a long stint. 1451 01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:05,600 Speaker 24: You know, I've got to think about, you know, my 1452 01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:09,280 Speaker 24: career and where I'm at with it. You know, probably 1453 01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:13,560 Speaker 24: would like another exec role if I can find one before, 1454 01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:15,640 Speaker 24: you know, before you sort of try and you know, 1455 01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:18,680 Speaker 24: maybe get into governance type activity. If I don't do, 1456 01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:20,759 Speaker 24: if I don't make that step now, then it starts 1457 01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:24,160 Speaker 24: to become too late. So you know, you've got to 1458 01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:26,640 Speaker 24: make these tough calls.

I was hoping to talk about 1599 01:14:35,479 --> 01:14:38,080 Speaker 9: the Federated Farmer's Banking survey, but never mind, I'll do 1600 01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:40,720 Speaker 9: as I'm told. Look, this is a humorous story. I 1601 01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:43,519 Speaker 9: was found in the Otago Daily Times last weekend. So 1602 01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:47,480 Speaker 9: protesters who are not fans of being pepper sprayed, handcuffed 1603 01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:50,519 Speaker 9: or locked up in a police spell spent two hours 1604 01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:54,479 Speaker 9: last week learning how to protest properly. Now, this protest 1605 01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:59,280 Speaker 9: Skills Night was put on by Climate Liberation atro and 1606 01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:02,080 Speaker 9: it was aimed at showing protests how to demonstrate their 1607 01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:08,160 Speaker 9: points using nonviolent direct action techniques. So event coordinator Carra 1608 01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:11,280 Speaker 9: Scott said, we're trying to upscal these students and how 1609 01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:14,479 Speaker 9: to protest in anticipation of a nationwide action they're going 1610 01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:17,519 Speaker 9: to take very shortly against the a n Z Bank. 1611 01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:19,479 Speaker 9: And this has all got to do with the Batist 1612 01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:24,439 Speaker 9: mining resource on the Denniston Plateau. Shane Jones is going 1613 01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:27,360 Speaker 9: to dig up, dig a hole and take out twenty 1614 01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:30,320 Speaker 9: million tons of coal. Miss Scott went on to say, 1615 01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:33,240 Speaker 9: we'll be showing them how to stay calm at protests 1616 01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:37,280 Speaker 9: and not respond emotionally to high stress situations. It's a 1617 01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:40,799 Speaker 9: pretty versatile skill set in my opinion, and I'm thinking, 1618 01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:43,800 Speaker 9: why are we subsidizing a university I'm standing like a 1619 01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:46,120 Speaker 9: grinch here and a grumpy old boomer, but why are 1620 01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:48,880 Speaker 9: we subsidizing university education to learn this set? 1621 01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:52,160 Speaker 2: No, no, it's no, that's absolutely fair enough. So basically 1622 01:15:52,160 --> 01:15:54,400 Speaker 2: they're learning how to do breathing exercises by the sounds 1623 01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:57,439 Speaker 2: of things. I don't know kids learning that at kindy. 1624 01:15:57,479 --> 01:15:58,800 Speaker 2: I mean I could have just sorted them out for 1625 01:15:58,960 --> 01:16:00,760 Speaker 2: that out for them. Okay, Jomie, thank you appreciate it. 1626 01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:03,240 Speaker 2: Jamie McKay, you could talk about the survey later.

I 1629 01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:10,960 Speaker 2: think just you know, if you will hit up, if 1630 01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:14,760 Speaker 2: you're sitting there going, oh, just just be honest with 1631 01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:17,080 Speaker 2: yourself about how much butter you're eating every week. Like, 1632 01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:21,080 Speaker 2: if you're eating one block, it's ten dollars, Yeah, ten dollars, Yeah, 1633 01:16:21,160 --> 01:16:23,559 Speaker 2: fair enough, it could be five, but now it's ten. 1634 01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:28,759 Speaker 2: But like, really we're doing all of this about that anyway? 1635 01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:33,880 Speaker 2: Talk about Miles Hurrale next twenty past six rather whether. 1636 01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:37,640 Speaker 1: It's macro microbe or just playing economics.

The butter 1640 01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:51,720 Speaker 2: conversation is crazy. People will pay seven dollars for a 1641 01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:54,000 Speaker 2: coffee they consume in fifteen minutes. But butter that last 1642 01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:57,280 Speaker 2: summer week is apparently horrendous. Girl on the money. Now, look, 1643 01:16:57,479 --> 01:16:59,600 Speaker 2: can I I'm going to talk about Miles hurral This 1644 01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:01,560 Speaker 2: is the thing that Jamie wants to hear. I'm just 1645 01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:05,280 Speaker 2: gonna talk about Miles Harroff for a minute because Miles 1646 01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:08,519 Speaker 2: is unfortunately looking like he's being weird about the price 1647 01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:10,320 Speaker 2: of butter. Now, Miles is not being weird about the 1648 01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:12,160 Speaker 2: price of butter, but what's actually going on is different 1649 01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:14,479 Speaker 2: to how it looks Okay, So I feel sorry for Miles. 1650 01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:16,240 Speaker 2: I want to say that upfront, because I don't think 1651 01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:18,880 Speaker 2: that Miles is doing anything wrong. And Miles did not 1652 01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:20,840 Speaker 2: get He did not ask to get dragged into this 1653 01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:24,200 Speaker 2: by political will by Nikola Willis for political purposes, and 1654 01:17:24,479 --> 01:17:27,320 Speaker 2: he didn't ask to get chased down the Parliamentary full 1655 01:17:27,400 --> 01:17:30,439 Speaker 2: court by Mikey Sherman and all that kind of nonsense. 1656 01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:33,120 Speaker 2: And I think he's got a perfectly good explanation for 1657 01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:34,960 Speaker 2: why the price of butter is slightly higher than it 1658 01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,599 Speaker 2: normally would be. But what is weird is that has 1659 01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:39,599 Speaker 2: pressed him, has quite clearly told him not to come 1660 01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:41,160 Speaker 2: on the radio and talk about it. So I gave 1661 01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:43,200 Speaker 2: him a call today because they declined all so he 1662 01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:46,519 Speaker 2: had this press conference in christ Church today. Now, no 1663 01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:49,840 Speaker 2: disrespect to reporters in christ Church, but when you do 1664 01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:53,759 Speaker 2: a press conference in christ Church, you do a press 1665 01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:56,080 Speaker 2: conference in christ Church because you want to avoid getting 1666 01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:57,639 Speaker 2: the hard questions, do you know what I mean? Because 1667 01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:01,040 Speaker 2: you don't want because in Wellington they are rabbit and 1668 01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:04,240 Speaker 2: in Auckland they can be rabbit, but in christ Church 1669 01:18:04,240 --> 01:18:07,040 Speaker 2: it's it's just a it's a gentle vibe. And so 1670 01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:09,080 Speaker 2: if you I mean, here's a free piece of advice. 1671 01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:11,200 Speaker 2: If you ever find yourself in a difficult situation and 1672 01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:13,280 Speaker 2: you want a story, you want you want an easy interview, 1673 01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:15,479 Speaker 2: hold a press conference in christ Church. And that's exactly 1674 01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:18,200 Speaker 2: what happened. I listened to twenty five minutes something that 1675 01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:20,120 Speaker 2: made me want to go to sleep today. It got 1676 01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:21,960 Speaker 2: tiny bit awkward for a minute, hot little minute, and 1677 01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:24,280 Speaker 2: then it stopped being awkward. So they got what they wanted. 1678 01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:25,920 Speaker 2: But what was weird about it is I said, well, 1679 01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:27,719 Speaker 2: why doesn't Miles come on the radio with us, because 1680 01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:30,240 Speaker 2: I'm sympathetic to his position, like I want to chat 1681 01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:32,519 Speaker 2: through this and how ridiculous it is with him. No, 1682 01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:34,559 Speaker 2: And I was like, well tell me, for God's sake, 1683 01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:36,320 Speaker 2: you're at least going to go on with Mike Hosking 1684 01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:39,800 Speaker 2: tomorrow morning, who I can hear has exactly the same 1685 01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:43,040 Speaker 2: no what is going on? And so I think he's 1686 01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:46,479 Speaker 2: getting bad advice because I think what's happening, Like I 1687 01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:50,360 Speaker 2: frankly think the Fonterra team are very lucky that most 1688 01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:52,599 Speaker 2: of us here at Newstalk z'b are actually you know, 1689 01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:55,320 Speaker 2: rational about economics, and we're not going to give Miles 1690 01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:57,200 Speaker 2: a hard time for turning up. But geez, that was 1691 01:18:57,240 --> 01:18:59,200 Speaker 2: a line call, wasn't it, Because there'll be some rabbid 1692 01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:02,040 Speaker 2: people out there who will But anyway, whatever I think, 1693 01:19:02,040 --> 01:19:03,559 Speaker 2: when you don't turn up on the radio, you look 1694 01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:05,680 Speaker 2: like you're being shady and weird and trying to hide something. 1695 01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:07,599 Speaker 2: They've got nothing to hide, so they should just front 1696 01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:09,640 Speaker 2: up and get the interview done with and move on. 1697 01:19:10,040 --> 01:19:12,320 Speaker 2: But the advice has not been great to him, unfortunately. 1698 01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:15,880 Speaker 2: But yeah, as I say, they're lucky because we all 1699 01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:18,519 Speaker 2: think that Miles is awesome, because Miles is awesome because 1700 01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:21,519 Speaker 2: have you seen how he's turned Fronterra around? So anyway, 1701 01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:22,480 Speaker 2: six twenty. 1702 01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:24,560 Speaker 3: Five together, du for see Allen. 1703 01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:28,479 Speaker 2: In some show biz news. 1704 01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:30,040 Speaker 13: I'm going down South. 1705 01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:31,519 Speaker 18: I'm going to have myself to. 1706 01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:35,280 Speaker 2: South Park has kicked off its twenty seventh season with 1707 01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:37,439 Speaker 2: a parody of Donald Trump, and they're not holding back 1708 01:19:37,479 --> 01:19:40,519 Speaker 2: this season. They've got Trump in bed with Satan in 1709 01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:43,639 Speaker 2: the White House making jokes about the Epstein List, which 1710 01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:46,840 Speaker 2: is just you know, subtle. The creators of South Park 1711 01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:49,679 Speaker 2: have recently signed a mass of one point five billion 1712 01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:53,719 Speaker 2: one point five billion dollar deal with paramount paramount, of course, 1713 01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:55,840 Speaker 2: being the studio who had to settle a sixteen million 1714 01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:59,000 Speaker 2: dollar lawsuit with the President just recently. The deal will 1715 01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:01,719 Speaker 2: see fifty new episodes of south Park over the next 1716 01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:04,840 Speaker 2: five years, and this didn't stop the South Park team 1717 01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:09,080 Speaker 2: from parodying the studio's recent legal trouble. The season premiere 1718 01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:12,439 Speaker 2: centered on Trump suing the town of south Park, forcing 1719 01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:14,479 Speaker 2: them to come to a settlement. But settling comes with 1720 01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:14,880 Speaker 2: a catch. 1721 01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:17,360 Speaker 1: As part of the settlement, we also had to agree 1722 01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:19,120 Speaker 1: to doing pro Trump messaging. 1723 01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:22,479 Speaker 13: How are we supposed to do pro Trump messaging? 1724 01:20:23,200 --> 01:20:24,840 Speaker 1: Come on, guys, We're south Park. 1725 01:20:25,080 --> 01:20:28,879 Speaker 3: We can do it. Yeah, trut work together. 1726 01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:33,280 Speaker 2: Even more offensive is that there is currently no way 1727 01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:35,599 Speaker 2: to watch old episodes of south Park in New Zealand, 1728 01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:39,160 Speaker 2: and someone probably needs to get on to that. So 1729 01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:42,439 Speaker 2: there you go, Donald Trump, south Park. What a combination. Now, 1730 01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:44,839 Speaker 2: speaking of Donald Trump, actually, the White House has reacted 1731 01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:47,080 Speaker 2: really badly to that report in the Wall Street Journal 1732 01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:50,599 Speaker 2: that Trump's name appears multiple times in the Epstein files. 1733 01:20:50,640 --> 01:20:54,080 Speaker 2: I feel like, look, I feel like, for the purposes 1734 01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:56,320 Speaker 2: of not getting too hit up about this and kind 1735 01:20:56,360 --> 01:20:58,680 Speaker 2: of just keeping our minds on this, let's keep our 1736 01:20:58,680 --> 01:21:01,400 Speaker 2: common sense. Here are hundreds of people who are named 1737 01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:04,320 Speaker 2: in the Epstein files, and being named in the Epstein 1738 01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:06,920 Speaker 2: files is not in and of itself a sign of guilt, right, 1739 01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:09,799 Speaker 2: But what it does do is it continues the ongoing 1740 01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:13,120 Speaker 2: bad coverage for President Trump, and it continues the pressure 1741 01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:15,639 Speaker 2: on him to do something and release these Epstein files. 1742 01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:17,400 Speaker 2: And he doesn't want that anyway. So the White House 1743 01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:20,760 Speaker 2: has reacted by going septic. Nothing more than a continuation 1744 01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:23,040 Speaker 2: of the fake news story is concocted by the Democrats 1745 01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:27,040 Speaker 2: and the liberal media, said one spokesperson. Another fake news story, 1746 01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:29,439 Speaker 2: just like the previous story by the Wall Street Journal, 1747 01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:35,080 Speaker 2: said another spokesperson. So you know they are not taking 1748 01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:37,439 Speaker 2: it hard, are they? Anyway? Take the news next, and 1749 01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:39,600 Speaker 2: then we'll talk to Sam Dickey about what's going on 1750 01:21:39,680 --> 01:21:41,160 Speaker 2: with US healthcare. 1751 01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:59,639 Speaker 1: Everything from SMEs to the big corporates, the Business Hour, 1752 01:22:00,160 --> 01:22:02,600 Speaker 1: the hand of DO for c Ellen and MAS for 1753 01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:04,480 Speaker 1: trusted Home Insurance solutions. 1754 01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:07,920 Speaker 3: News talks that'd be Are you. 1755 01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:09,479 Speaker 9: To have. 1756 01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:13,480 Speaker 5: That tone? 1757 01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:18,960 Speaker 2: What Big Right and Brady's going to be with us 1758 01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:19,800 Speaker 2: out of the UK? 1759 01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:20,320 Speaker 12: Surely? 1760 01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:20,519 Speaker 3: Oh? 1761 01:22:20,520 --> 01:22:22,240 Speaker 2: By the way, Yes, the Essex Police health I was 1762 01:22:22,240 --> 01:22:24,200 Speaker 2: telling you about that. Yes, how the press conference over 1763 01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:27,519 Speaker 2: and I'll get you across that shortly. Also, we're gonna 1764 01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:29,880 Speaker 2: have to talk about IID funny little thing. Funny little 1765 01:22:29,920 --> 01:22:33,320 Speaker 2: thing there twenty five away from seven. Now, America's healthcare 1766 01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:35,960 Speaker 2: sector is a bit of a crossroads. The US spends 1767 01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:38,559 Speaker 2: almost twenty percent of its GDP on healthcare. It's nearly 1768 01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:41,919 Speaker 2: double the OECD average. But there is pressure to cut wastage, 1769 01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:44,080 Speaker 2: and this of course has implications for the big healthcare 1770 01:22:44,120 --> 01:22:46,760 Speaker 2: players who've all been reporting over the last little while. 1771 01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:49,520 Speaker 2: Sam Dickey from Fisher Funds is with us evening. Sam, 1772 01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:51,439 Speaker 2: good evening. You give us a little bit of a 1773 01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:53,639 Speaker 2: detail on the big picture here and what the government 1774 01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:54,599 Speaker 2: is trying to do about it. 1775 01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:57,800 Speaker 25: Yes, this ties into what you and I were talking 1776 01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:01,639 Speaker 25: about in June. So remember US cup debt to GDPs 1777 01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:03,960 Speaker 25: one hundred and twenty five percent versus say New Zealand 1778 01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:07,439 Speaker 25: at fifty and healthcare spinning is an obvious target. Like 1779 01:23:07,520 --> 01:23:10,920 Speaker 25: you say, almost twice the OECD average as a percentage 1780 01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:14,160 Speaker 25: of GDPs spent on healthcare, which is five trillion dollars 1781 01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:17,080 Speaker 25: and at least a trillion dollars of that, experts say 1782 01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:21,799 Speaker 25: is wasted. So how's that wasted? Administrative bloat is massive, 1783 01:23:21,960 --> 01:23:26,080 Speaker 25: So the US has an incredibly convoluted patchwork of public 1784 01:23:26,120 --> 01:23:30,120 Speaker 25: and private insurers with thousands of different insurance plans, and 1785 01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:35,000 Speaker 25: big hospitals, for example, dedicate entire departments with hundreds of 1786 01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:38,800 Speaker 25: employees just to hand all the insurance claims, the denials, 1787 01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:43,360 Speaker 25: the resubmittances. Then there's the middlemen that distributors everyone with 1788 01:23:43,400 --> 01:23:46,240 Speaker 25: their handout clapping the ticket and to feed all those mouths. 1789 01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:49,439 Speaker 25: US drug prices are extremely inflated versus the rest of 1790 01:23:49,479 --> 01:23:52,679 Speaker 25: the world. So to take the EpiPen or ozepic for example, 1791 01:23:52,720 --> 01:23:55,280 Speaker 25: that the popular weight loss drug, they sell it ten 1792 01:23:55,400 --> 01:23:57,840 Speaker 25: times the price in the US versus say the UK 1793 01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:01,000 Speaker 25: or Ossie. So that's the problem, but it's really really 1794 01:24:01,040 --> 01:24:05,760 Speaker 25: hard to fix. So in twenty eighteen, Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos, 1795 01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:09,840 Speaker 25: and Jamie Diamond set up a joint venture to tackle 1796 01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:12,519 Speaker 25: this bloat. So think about those three guys. You probably 1797 01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:15,280 Speaker 25: couldn't get three more capable people on Earth together in 1798 01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:18,040 Speaker 25: a room to solve a problem, and they failed. So 1799 01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:21,240 Speaker 25: the joint venture quietly dissolved. Defeated by the sheer amount 1800 01:24:21,240 --> 01:24:24,600 Speaker 25: of greed, vested interests and massive political clout of the 1801 01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:25,439 Speaker 25: healthcare players. 1802 01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:28,160 Speaker 2: So, as I said earlier, we've had some of these 1803 01:24:28,600 --> 01:24:31,120 Speaker 2: big healthcare players reporting over the last little while. What 1804 01:24:31,479 --> 01:24:33,040 Speaker 2: have the results told us about this? 1805 01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:34,880 Speaker 3: That's right. 1806 01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:38,879 Speaker 25: So companies like Boston Scientific, Danaher and child of Surgical, 1807 01:24:38,880 --> 01:24:41,559 Speaker 25: and Icon of all reported results. So in child of 1808 01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:43,920 Speaker 25: Surgical that we've spoken about this one before, the leading 1809 01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:47,760 Speaker 25: soft tissue robotic surgery company, they sell their robots to 1810 01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:51,200 Speaker 25: hospitals and they said on the result that hospitals not 1811 01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:53,640 Speaker 25: just in the US but around the world are tightening 1812 01:24:53,760 --> 01:24:59,639 Speaker 25: the purse strings. Danaher, who manufactures the tools that big 1813 01:24:59,680 --> 01:25:02,760 Speaker 25: farm companies used to develop a mass produce drugs, said 1814 01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:07,000 Speaker 25: it's big farmer customers like Pfizer continue cutting costs as 1815 01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:10,639 Speaker 25: government pressure mounts to reduce drug prices. And Icon, who 1816 01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:16,040 Speaker 25: are a outsourced clinical trial company that tests drugs for 1817 01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:18,400 Speaker 25: farmer companies that has been under immense pressure. 1818 01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:21,280 Speaker 2: What does this all mean for investors? 1819 01:25:23,080 --> 01:25:25,439 Speaker 25: Well, the good news is both Democrats and Republicans support 1820 01:25:25,439 --> 01:25:27,600 Speaker 25: cutting waste. So you've had the Inflation Reduction Act in 1821 01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:31,960 Speaker 25: twenty twenty two, which reduced prices the government pays for drugs, 1822 01:25:31,960 --> 01:25:35,280 Speaker 25: and Trump's Most Favored Nation policy aims to tie US 1823 01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:37,799 Speaker 25: drugs to the lowest prices paid by the developed countries. 1824 01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:41,800 Speaker 25: But as an investor, it's critical to determine whether the 1825 01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:44,840 Speaker 25: healthcare company you own is contributing to the problem or 1826 01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:48,360 Speaker 25: helping solve it. So big farmer companies charging excessive US 1827 01:25:48,439 --> 01:25:50,760 Speaker 25: drug prices are right in the cross is as are 1828 01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:54,880 Speaker 25: distributed as and middleman. But Boston Intuitive and Icon, for example, 1829 01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:57,760 Speaker 25: they're part of the solution. So Icon's clinical research expertise 1830 01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:00,800 Speaker 25: can complete drug trials twelve months faster and up to 1831 01:26:00,800 --> 01:26:05,040 Speaker 25: twenty percent cheaper than than their farmer customers. Boston reported 1832 01:26:05,160 --> 01:26:08,600 Speaker 25: forty percent higher patient through put out its cardiac or 1833 01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:13,080 Speaker 25: heart centers, they reduced unnecessary patient stays by twenty five 1834 01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:16,640 Speaker 25: percent and cut procedure times by fifteen percent over the 1835 01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:20,559 Speaker 25: last few years, and Tudor's robotic systems massively speed up 1836 01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:23,479 Speaker 25: surgical backlog. So make sure you're part of the solution 1837 01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:27,280 Speaker 25: as an investigator, But tread carefully generally, because if the 1838 01:26:27,360 --> 01:26:31,360 Speaker 25: bloated supertanker that is the US healthcare system is finally turning, 1839 01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:32,240 Speaker 25: you do not want to be. 1840 01:26:32,200 --> 01:26:32,759 Speaker 3: In its path. 1841 01:26:32,920 --> 01:26:35,400 Speaker 2: A very good advice, Sam, Thank you so much as always, Sam, 1842 01:26:35,439 --> 01:26:37,200 Speaker 2: Dickie Fisher Funds will talk to you again soon as 1843 01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:40,919 Speaker 2: twenty one away from seven ever, I thought this was fascinating, 1844 01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:44,720 Speaker 2: right Nanogirl, You know nanogirl. Nanogirl owes ird more than 1845 01:26:44,720 --> 01:26:48,400 Speaker 2: two hundred and sixty five thousand dollars. The business went 1846 01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:50,800 Speaker 2: into liquidation in November and it's split up. I think 1847 01:26:50,800 --> 01:26:52,559 Speaker 2: it's something like one hundred and eighty thousand dollars in 1848 01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:55,799 Speaker 2: unpaid GST and about eighty six and a half thousand 1849 01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:59,599 Speaker 2: dollars on PAI. Anyway, that's not the thing I'm interested in. Actually, 1850 01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:02,639 Speaker 2: what I'm interested in is this comment from Damien Grant, 1851 01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:06,639 Speaker 2: who's the director of an insolvency firm called Waterstone. He says, 1852 01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:09,559 Speaker 2: a one hundred and eighty thousand dollar GST debt is 1853 01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:14,599 Speaker 2: very small quote. I doubt an IRD enforcement officer would 1854 01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:17,120 Speaker 2: get up from their desk for that. I looked at that, 1855 01:27:17,240 --> 01:27:21,000 Speaker 2: I thought, I mean, it's small in the context of 1856 01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:22,960 Speaker 2: the economy, I suppose. But you get a few of 1857 01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:25,120 Speaker 2: those together and it's not small anymore. You get you 1858 01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:27,000 Speaker 2: get ten of those together, and you're paying for Sunny 1859 01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:30,719 Speaker 2: Kochial's out. But aren't you just like that? Anyway? Feels 1860 01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:33,160 Speaker 2: to me like I'm reading into that. I'm guessing that 1861 01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:35,000 Speaker 2: we're leaving a whole bunch of one hundred and eighty 1862 01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:37,120 Speaker 2: thousand dollar debts out there unclaimed. Anyway, I said this 1863 01:27:37,120 --> 01:27:39,519 Speaker 2: in the newsroom today store, I don't know, this seems 1864 01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:42,360 Speaker 2: like a lot of money. That's like two people's pay packets. 1865 01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:45,120 Speaker 2: And then somebody piped up and said, well, actually, yeah, no, 1866 01:27:45,240 --> 01:27:47,200 Speaker 2: this happens all the time. I've got a family member 1867 01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:50,280 Speaker 2: who has a four hundred thousand dollar debt outstanding to 1868 01:27:50,320 --> 01:27:54,760 Speaker 2: ID for ten years. ID hasn't even come knocking. I mean, hello, hello, 1869 01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:57,519 Speaker 2: can we give you? Know how we gave ID a 1870 01:27:57,560 --> 01:27:59,479 Speaker 2: few more resources and they went hard on the people 1871 01:27:59,479 --> 01:28:02,120 Speaker 2: who were not paying their student loans. Can we give 1872 01:28:02,160 --> 01:28:05,000 Speaker 2: them some more resources? Go hard on this the GST bills. 1873 01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:06,800 Speaker 2: This sounds like a really good idea. It seems like 1874 01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:12,160 Speaker 2: some low hanging fruit there. Now, Rebel Wilson, you read 1875 01:28:12,160 --> 01:28:15,479 Speaker 2: about this bird a and I don't know, starting I 1876 01:28:15,680 --> 01:28:19,839 Speaker 2: worry for Rebel Wilson that maybe Rebel needs an intervention. 1877 01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:24,400 Speaker 2: So Rebel Wilson, you know, Rebel the Hollywood star who's 1878 01:28:24,400 --> 01:28:28,960 Speaker 2: from Australia. She's facing another lawsuit, and this time the 1879 01:28:29,040 --> 01:28:32,400 Speaker 2: lawsuit claims that she deliberately blocked her own film's release 1880 01:28:32,479 --> 01:28:35,360 Speaker 2: with legal threats and falsely outed a young actor as 1881 01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:38,240 Speaker 2: a victim of sexual misconduct. What it is is that 1882 01:28:38,320 --> 01:28:41,439 Speaker 2: there's a movie called The deb which is a musical 1883 01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:44,720 Speaker 2: comedy based on a stage show, and it stars a 1884 01:28:44,760 --> 01:28:48,479 Speaker 2: young one called Charlotte, Charlotte mcinness. Now, what happened in 1885 01:28:48,600 --> 01:28:51,800 Speaker 2: July last year is that Rebel Wilson claimed that she 1886 01:28:51,880 --> 01:28:55,240 Speaker 2: had reported bad behavior by the film's producers, and she 1887 01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:58,519 Speaker 2: names three of them, and she says not minor things, 1888 01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:02,040 Speaker 2: big things, inappropriate behavior towards the lead actress of the film. 1889 01:29:02,040 --> 01:29:05,679 Speaker 2: This is Charlotte mcinness, embezzling funds from the film's budget, etc. 1890 01:29:06,240 --> 01:29:08,160 Speaker 2: One of the allegations that she's made is that one 1891 01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:10,559 Speaker 2: of the producers asked the young one to shower with 1892 01:29:10,640 --> 01:29:14,160 Speaker 2: her and a BONDI will shower with him. I'm assuming 1893 01:29:14,200 --> 01:29:18,000 Speaker 2: actually in a BONDI penthouse apartment, and that it was 1894 01:29:18,320 --> 01:29:20,479 Speaker 2: some sort of sexual assault or sexual abuse or something 1895 01:29:20,520 --> 01:29:22,160 Speaker 2: like that. Anyway, she said, I made the movie, this 1896 01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:24,720 Speaker 2: great movie, The deb and then you know, almost at 1897 01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:26,639 Speaker 2: the finish line, they're saying, you know, it can't come out. 1898 01:29:26,640 --> 01:29:28,360 Speaker 2: They might not release it, they might bury it. 1899 01:29:28,600 --> 01:29:28,760 Speaker 15: All. 1900 01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:31,479 Speaker 2: The producers are not happy about these allegations. They have 1901 01:29:31,600 --> 01:29:34,120 Speaker 2: now launched a lawsuit in the United States claiming that 1902 01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:36,680 Speaker 2: Wilson has in fact a famed them. They say she 1903 01:29:36,760 --> 01:29:39,840 Speaker 2: has knowingly spread false information online and breached her contractual 1904 01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:43,600 Speaker 2: duties by effectively blocking the film's release. She threatened the 1905 01:29:43,640 --> 01:29:46,000 Speaker 2: Australian distributor of the film that she would obtain an 1906 01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:48,439 Speaker 2: injunction when she actually can't. But as a result of 1907 01:29:48,439 --> 01:29:51,120 Speaker 2: that threat, the Australian distributor with drew its proposal to 1908 01:29:51,160 --> 01:29:55,519 Speaker 2: distribute the film. And it's probably notable that the thing 1909 01:29:55,600 --> 01:29:58,839 Speaker 2: premiered in September last year at the Toronto Film Festival, 1910 01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:02,240 Speaker 2: but as yet to reach cinema a moduling allegations between 1911 01:30:02,240 --> 01:30:06,000 Speaker 2: Win Wilson and her business partners. Anyway, if you read 1912 01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:09,000 Speaker 2: there is even I am giving you a pricey by 1913 01:30:09,040 --> 01:30:11,320 Speaker 2: the way of this, there is even more. There is 1914 01:30:11,400 --> 01:30:12,960 Speaker 2: more back and forth on this, and when you read 1915 01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:15,599 Speaker 2: some more, you do start to worry about how Rebel 1916 01:30:15,680 --> 01:30:19,479 Speaker 2: is going, because it does feel slightly conspiratorial and weird anyway, 1917 01:30:19,720 --> 01:30:21,360 Speaker 2: doesn't sound like we're ever going to see the deb 1918 01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:23,040 Speaker 2: does it? Seventeen away from seven? 1919 01:30:23,960 --> 01:30:26,519 Speaker 3: If it's to do with money, it matters to you. 1920 01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:30,880 Speaker 1: The Business Hour with Heather dupic Ellen and Mes for 1921 01:30:31,040 --> 01:30:33,880 Speaker 1: Trusted Home Insurance Solutions, News Talks Dead be. 1922 01:30:34,240 --> 01:30:38,080 Speaker 2: End Brady UK Correspondence with US Evening Ender. Hello, I 1923 01:30:38,160 --> 01:30:39,439 Speaker 2: have very great to speak to you, Ga, It's good 1924 01:30:39,479 --> 01:30:41,040 Speaker 2: to chat to you. So Starma is going to sign 1925 01:30:41,040 --> 01:30:43,879 Speaker 2: a major trade deal today, yes. 1926 01:30:43,760 --> 01:30:47,559 Speaker 13: With India. So the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Moldy is 1927 01:30:47,680 --> 01:30:50,800 Speaker 13: here and they're going to meet at Checkers, which is 1928 01:30:50,880 --> 01:30:54,320 Speaker 13: the country retreat of the UK Prime Minister in Buckinghamshire. 1929 01:30:54,600 --> 01:30:57,080 Speaker 13: So it will all be very formal. But there is 1930 01:30:57,120 --> 01:30:59,719 Speaker 13: a lot of money behind this and Starma is banging 1931 01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:02,680 Speaker 13: this rum. It will eventually be worth somewhere in the 1932 01:31:02,720 --> 01:31:06,520 Speaker 13: region of about ten billion dollars to the UK economy. 1933 01:31:06,840 --> 01:31:10,519 Speaker 13: That kind of figure getting injected in is badly, badly needed. 1934 01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:13,720 Speaker 13: So Stammer's painting this as a win. And what we'll 1935 01:31:13,760 --> 01:31:17,120 Speaker 13: see as well is major reductions in tariffs on UK 1936 01:31:17,240 --> 01:31:21,479 Speaker 13: goods going into India, so car parts and vehicles for example, 1937 01:31:21,520 --> 01:31:24,360 Speaker 13: will be reduced. It's a big win for the Scottish 1938 01:31:24,360 --> 01:31:28,679 Speaker 13: whiskey industry because Scotch whiskey is extremely popular with middle 1939 01:31:28,680 --> 01:31:32,280 Speaker 13: class India and right now they have huge tariffs, so 1940 01:31:32,640 --> 01:31:35,839 Speaker 13: they will be reduced as well, and in return, India 1941 01:31:36,280 --> 01:31:38,479 Speaker 13: will have tariffs reduced on the kind of goods day 1942 01:31:38,560 --> 01:31:42,600 Speaker 13: scent here, from mangoes and grapes to clothing and textiles. 1943 01:31:42,640 --> 01:31:45,880 Speaker 13: And interestingly, they've also asked for twelve hundred visas for 1944 01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:48,720 Speaker 13: yoga instructors to come to the UK, so we may 1945 01:31:48,720 --> 01:31:51,640 Speaker 13: be getting a better standard of yoga instructor out of this. 1946 01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:52,240 Speaker 3: Wow. 1947 01:31:52,360 --> 01:31:54,760 Speaker 2: So is it a visa for a visit or is 1948 01:31:54,760 --> 01:31:57,520 Speaker 2: it a visa for living for long term? 1949 01:31:58,479 --> 01:32:01,000 Speaker 13: I think it'll be long term working And that in 1950 01:32:01,040 --> 01:32:03,880 Speaker 13: itself is controversial of course, because Starmer's trying to drive 1951 01:32:03,960 --> 01:32:07,920 Speaker 13: down migration numbers. And in addition to that, there's also 1952 01:32:07,960 --> 01:32:10,840 Speaker 13: a proviso here for Indians coming to the UK on 1953 01:32:10,920 --> 01:32:14,360 Speaker 13: short term contracts to not pay national insurance, which is 1954 01:32:14,400 --> 01:32:17,000 Speaker 13: another form of tax. But they've ironed it all out. 1955 01:32:17,120 --> 01:32:19,599 Speaker 13: The deal has been done and in two hours time 1956 01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:21,479 Speaker 13: Moody and Starmer will sign it. 1957 01:32:21,600 --> 01:32:24,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, brilliant stuff. Are you going to watch the mastershift. 1958 01:32:26,439 --> 01:32:29,000 Speaker 13: Do you know what, out of curiosity I will the 1959 01:32:29,040 --> 01:32:31,640 Speaker 13: BBC having announced that the season that they already have 1960 01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:34,720 Speaker 13: filmed and in the can and ready to go. The 1961 01:32:34,800 --> 01:32:38,040 Speaker 13: problem they have with screening this is it features Greg 1962 01:32:38,080 --> 01:32:41,120 Speaker 13: Wallace and John Torode, both of whom will not be 1963 01:32:41,200 --> 01:32:45,639 Speaker 13: coming back various allegations. There was one allegation of bad 1964 01:32:45,720 --> 01:32:49,519 Speaker 13: language and behavior upheld against Turoad, which he denied. Wallace 1965 01:32:49,720 --> 01:32:54,599 Speaker 13: had something like forty five allegations of inappropriate behavior and 1966 01:32:55,040 --> 01:32:59,679 Speaker 13: touching and groping everything He denied. Forty five allegations upheld 1967 01:32:59,680 --> 01:33:02,360 Speaker 13: against Greg Wallace. So the BBC are saying it was 1968 01:33:02,360 --> 01:33:05,960 Speaker 13: a very difficult decision to make, but ultimately they owe 1969 01:33:05,960 --> 01:33:09,240 Speaker 13: it to the contestants to screen it, and they say 1970 01:33:09,280 --> 01:33:11,839 Speaker 13: it will be edited heavily so that the show features 1971 01:33:11,880 --> 01:33:12,880 Speaker 13: more of the contestants. 1972 01:33:14,400 --> 01:33:17,040 Speaker 2: Are they going to try and edits Greg and John 1973 01:33:17,080 --> 01:33:18,280 Speaker 2: down as much as possible? 1974 01:33:19,320 --> 01:33:22,080 Speaker 13: I think it'll be pretty much Hello, this is Master 1975 01:33:22,200 --> 01:33:24,759 Speaker 13: Chef and then goodbye. That was this week's Master Chef. 1976 01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:27,800 Speaker 13: I think if the editors get their way, that would 1977 01:33:27,840 --> 01:33:30,439 Speaker 13: be it. But how Greg Wallace got on Master Chef 1978 01:33:30,520 --> 01:33:32,400 Speaker 13: is a mystery to me. He was a fruit and 1979 01:33:32,439 --> 01:33:35,479 Speaker 13: vege guy off of Greengrocers. Best look to him. He 1980 01:33:35,479 --> 01:33:37,639 Speaker 13: made it work for himself for as long as it lasted. 1981 01:33:37,680 --> 01:33:40,080 Speaker 13: But I don't know. I find that he's one of 1982 01:33:40,080 --> 01:33:42,360 Speaker 13: the mysteries of UK TV. Greg Wallace. 1983 01:33:42,439 --> 01:33:44,200 Speaker 2: What wasn't he brought in to sort of be their 1984 01:33:44,240 --> 01:33:46,439 Speaker 2: working class guy and just appeal a little bit more 1985 01:33:46,479 --> 01:33:47,639 Speaker 2: to the working class viewers. 1986 01:33:48,760 --> 01:33:52,760 Speaker 13: Oh, look at some BBC management bods. They've obviously done 1987 01:33:52,880 --> 01:33:55,920 Speaker 13: some kind of polling and they've realized that there's an 1988 01:33:55,960 --> 01:33:59,719 Speaker 13: awful lot of kind of so we say middle aged 1989 01:33:59,720 --> 01:34:02,040 Speaker 13: ball the white men who watch TV and they need 1990 01:34:02,080 --> 01:34:05,040 Speaker 13: to see a reflection of themselves. And that's how Greg 1991 01:34:05,080 --> 01:34:07,400 Speaker 13: Wallace ended up on Mastershift. Good luck to him. 1992 01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:10,880 Speaker 2: Now, how do you make fifteen million dollars on a 1993 01:34:10,920 --> 01:34:12,639 Speaker 2: property in what like one year? 1994 01:34:14,120 --> 01:34:18,759 Speaker 13: So this is Ellen DeGeneres, the famous TV American host 1995 01:34:19,080 --> 01:34:23,599 Speaker 13: who basically came over here after Trump's victory. She had 1996 01:34:23,640 --> 01:34:27,240 Speaker 13: bought a property last summer in the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire, 1997 01:34:27,680 --> 01:34:31,400 Speaker 13: and yeah, she's done some renovations to it, but she's 1998 01:34:31,439 --> 01:34:34,120 Speaker 13: doing what they call flipping, buying something do with up 1999 01:34:34,160 --> 01:34:37,680 Speaker 13: and then sell it on. Yeah, so the price increase 2000 01:34:37,880 --> 01:34:41,880 Speaker 13: in one year is fifteen million and z dollars. People 2001 01:34:41,920 --> 01:34:45,200 Speaker 13: are scratching their heads. Apparently she's only moving because her wife, 2002 01:34:45,240 --> 01:34:49,479 Speaker 13: who's from Australia, wants more land for their horses and 2003 01:34:49,520 --> 01:34:52,599 Speaker 13: this property doesn't really have that. But I mean, why 2004 01:34:52,600 --> 01:34:54,960 Speaker 13: wouldn't you've you've got all the money they have, wouldn't 2005 01:34:54,960 --> 01:34:57,800 Speaker 13: you have taught about the horses a year ago? The 2006 01:34:57,840 --> 01:35:01,880 Speaker 13: price tag is fifteen million eg more than they bought 2007 01:35:01,920 --> 01:35:04,479 Speaker 13: it for. If you've got forty five million spare you 2008 01:35:04,520 --> 01:35:08,280 Speaker 13: can buy Ellen DeGeneres's place in the Cotswoltz. The downside 2009 01:35:08,360 --> 01:35:09,360 Speaker 13: is you'll be living next door. 2010 01:35:09,479 --> 01:35:13,400 Speaker 2: Jeremy Clarkson, Oh okay, this is all suddenly becoming quite 2011 01:35:13,400 --> 01:35:16,640 Speaker 2: attractive to me. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. 2012 01:35:16,720 --> 01:35:20,360 Speaker 2: Ender Brady UK, Chris, I mean, I was wondering, I 2013 01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:22,000 Speaker 2: don't know were you wandering. I was wondering what am 2014 01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:24,559 Speaker 2: I gonna do with that fifteen million dollars plus you 2015 01:35:24,560 --> 01:35:27,200 Speaker 2: know plus plus? I thought, geez, I could put in 2016 01:35:27,240 --> 01:35:29,400 Speaker 2: the share market, or I could just buy Ellen's house. 2017 01:35:29,680 --> 01:35:32,519 Speaker 2: It seems like a you know, slam dunk. There By 2018 01:35:32,560 --> 01:35:35,040 Speaker 2: the way, if you do have some spare cash now 2019 01:35:35,120 --> 01:35:37,360 Speaker 2: is the time. Now is the time to get the 2020 01:35:37,400 --> 01:35:40,439 Speaker 2: renovation done. Now's the time to get the the whatever 2021 01:35:40,520 --> 01:35:42,519 Speaker 2: done that you need to get done. Get the pool 2022 01:35:42,520 --> 01:35:45,080 Speaker 2: out the back, get the deck, get the whatever, get 2023 01:35:45,080 --> 01:35:48,400 Speaker 2: the get the granny flat. Because construction firms are reportedly 2024 01:35:48,439 --> 01:35:52,480 Speaker 2: slashing and with some sadness that I say this, construction 2025 01:35:52,560 --> 01:35:55,880 Speaker 2: firms are slashing their their quotes by fifty percent at 2026 01:35:55,920 --> 01:35:59,240 Speaker 2: the moment. They are so hard up work that they 2027 01:35:59,280 --> 01:36:01,439 Speaker 2: will they will do it at a cut rate. I mean, 2028 01:36:01,840 --> 01:36:04,640 Speaker 2: surely at fifty percent. Surely at fifty percent they're not 2029 01:36:04,680 --> 01:36:06,400 Speaker 2: even making money. So maybe they're just trying to keep 2030 01:36:06,400 --> 01:36:08,920 Speaker 2: the things ticking over. But anyway, if it you know, 2031 01:36:09,240 --> 01:36:11,040 Speaker 2: it works for you, and it works for them to 2032 01:36:11,120 --> 01:36:12,720 Speaker 2: do the work now rather than waiting for it to 2033 01:36:12,760 --> 01:36:14,680 Speaker 2: pick up. Because if you get them now, then you 2034 01:36:14,800 --> 01:36:17,080 Speaker 2: tied them over and you get a decent deal on that. 2035 01:36:17,120 --> 01:36:19,880 Speaker 2: The only problem you're going to have is that rain 2036 01:36:20,400 --> 01:36:23,720 Speaker 2: that just keeps on delaying everything. Twenty What was I 2037 01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:25,800 Speaker 2: going to say? Twenty away from seven? Let's try again? 2038 01:36:25,880 --> 01:36:26,800 Speaker 2: Eight away from seven. 2039 01:36:27,920 --> 01:36:31,160 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Tooper c Allen Drive Full Show podcast 2040 01:36:31,320 --> 01:36:34,360 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio powered by Newstalk ZBI. 2041 01:36:35,280 --> 01:36:37,760 Speaker 2: Okay, so Essex, I was telling you about this yesterday, right, 2042 01:36:37,800 --> 01:36:40,960 Speaker 2: This is the Essex Police being being busted with footage 2043 01:36:41,360 --> 01:36:44,960 Speaker 2: escorting people protesters to accounter protest at the Migrant Hotel. 2044 01:36:45,200 --> 01:36:48,080 Speaker 2: The police boss there, the Chief Constable of the Essex Police, 2045 01:36:48,360 --> 01:36:51,680 Speaker 2: has held a press conference overnight New Zealand Time and 2046 01:36:51,880 --> 01:36:54,760 Speaker 2: urged political leaders to consider the consequences of their words. 2047 01:36:54,800 --> 01:36:57,280 Speaker 2: And that was basically directed at Nigel Farage, because Nigel 2048 01:36:57,280 --> 01:37:00,280 Speaker 2: Farage had demanded that he resign over it. And he 2049 01:37:00,680 --> 01:37:05,080 Speaker 2: is absolutely adamant that they didn't escort because it would 2050 01:37:05,080 --> 01:37:08,160 Speaker 2: appear that what he's saying is they didn't bust anyone 2051 01:37:08,560 --> 01:37:12,160 Speaker 2: to the counter protest. They just walked them to the 2052 01:37:12,200 --> 01:37:14,519 Speaker 2: counter protest, you know, to keep them safe, and then 2053 01:37:14,560 --> 01:37:18,120 Speaker 2: they walked them away again to keep them safe. I guess. 2054 01:37:18,160 --> 01:37:21,439 Speaker 2: I guess people will decide for themselves how they feel 2055 01:37:21,479 --> 01:37:24,880 Speaker 2: about it, and it's and time will tell how this 2056 01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:26,960 Speaker 2: goes down and whether people in Essex are convinced by it. 2057 01:37:27,040 --> 01:37:30,320 Speaker 2: There's some question for you. Okay, this is really Colbert. 2058 01:37:30,360 --> 01:37:34,479 Speaker 2: What's his first name, Stephen, Stephen Colbert. Is it sadder 2059 01:37:35,200 --> 01:37:39,120 Speaker 2: that there were people who turned up to protest outside 2060 01:37:39,120 --> 01:37:43,839 Speaker 2: CBS to protest CBS and say please keep this wonderful 2061 01:37:43,840 --> 01:37:46,320 Speaker 2: show going. Is it sadder that they are protesting such 2062 01:37:46,360 --> 01:37:50,559 Speaker 2: a lame, not funny show, or is it sadder that 2063 01:37:50,680 --> 01:37:54,840 Speaker 2: only a few dozen of them turned up. I'm gonna 2064 01:37:54,840 --> 01:37:56,760 Speaker 2: go with both. I'm going to go with the fact 2065 01:37:56,760 --> 01:37:58,360 Speaker 2: that there are only a few dozen who turned up 2066 01:37:58,360 --> 01:38:00,679 Speaker 2: out of a country as big as America. I feel 2067 01:38:00,680 --> 01:38:02,439 Speaker 2: like the fact that a few doesn't turned up is 2068 01:38:02,439 --> 01:38:05,200 Speaker 2: pretty sad and probably an indication of the fact that 2069 01:38:05,240 --> 01:38:06,040 Speaker 2: it's a crappy show. 2070 01:38:06,200 --> 01:38:09,000 Speaker 22: And I remember when there was a big protest movement 2071 01:38:09,040 --> 01:38:11,679 Speaker 22: here to get KFC to keep hot and spicy year round, 2072 01:38:11,680 --> 01:38:13,559 Speaker 22: and I'm pretty sure there was like a couple hundred 2073 01:38:13,600 --> 01:38:15,200 Speaker 22: people who protested outside the KFC. 2074 01:38:15,400 --> 01:38:17,400 Speaker 2: That's right, New Zealand more about KFC. 2075 01:38:17,479 --> 01:38:19,320 Speaker 22: Yeah, you need a couple hundred to save a TV show. 2076 01:38:19,520 --> 01:38:22,000 Speaker 2: I also appreciate that a lot of your conversations look 2077 01:38:22,080 --> 01:38:22,759 Speaker 2: back to KFC. 2078 01:38:23,320 --> 01:38:24,599 Speaker 22: I'll tell you what I think I need to start 2079 01:38:24,680 --> 01:38:26,240 Speaker 22: charging them.
