1 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 1: Addressing the newsmakers to get the real story. It's Heather 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 1: Duplicy Ellen Drive with One New Zealand to coverage like 3 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: no one else News Talk Savy. 4 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 2: Good afternoon, Welcome to the show. Coming up today, The 5 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 2: NATS on why they've changed the four year electoral term bill, 6 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 2: the co founder of event Finder on selling it to 7 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 2: the global giant ticketect Today. Lincoln on whether it's fair 8 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 2: to make all of the students redo the exam if 9 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 2: only a few use the AI n cheated and Salt 10 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 2: Funds on why so many overseas investors are interested in 11 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 2: buying New Zealand businesses. 12 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 3: Heather duper Cy Ellen. 13 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 2: Look, I think it is significant that David Seymour has 14 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 2: walked away from supporting his own bill to bring in 15 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 2: four year terms for government. Now he was the one 16 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 2: who introduced the bill. He's now pulled ACT support. Every 17 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 2: other party in Parliament appears to steal back it, but 18 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 2: he's pulled ACT support because the safeguards that he wanted 19 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 2: are gone. 20 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 4: Now. 21 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 2: His idea was that we increase the terms from three 22 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,319 Speaker 2: to four years. You vote the government and yet three 23 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 2: years and now he wants to make it four years, 24 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 2: which basically means giving the government more power, but he 25 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 2: was only okay with that if we balance it out 26 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 2: by taking away some power and then and his idea 27 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 2: was to allow the opposition parties to control every single 28 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 2: Select committee, giving them the power. But that part of 29 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 2: the plan, the select Select committee part of the plan 30 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 2: has been removed, so David Seymour doesn't support his own 31 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 2: idea anymore, which frankly I think is a good idea 32 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 2: because he has ended up exactly where I have been 33 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 2: this entire time. No to four year terms unless there 34 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 2: are new limits, because as it is, governments in this 35 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 2: country do not have much in the way of limits. 36 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 2: If they want to pass the law, they can, They 37 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 2: can do it under urgency. If they want to, they 38 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,559 Speaker 2: can announce and pass it in literally the same day. 39 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 2: That is what happened with the pay equity law. Did 40 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 2: you like that? You want some more of that, because 41 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 2: that would would happen, but just for four years. This 42 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 2: is why Jeffrey Palmer said that we have the fastest 43 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 2: law in the West. Other countries have ways to limit 44 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 2: or control or check the power of the executive. They 45 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 2: have upper houses, they have senates. Whatever we've got nothing now, 46 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 2: given that everyone else, and Parliament seems to support this. 47 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 2: It seems to me a fair chance this is going 48 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 2: to go to referendum for us to decide, perhaps at 49 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 2: the next election. And people who want four years will 50 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 2: tell you that you must say yes because governments don't 51 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 2: have enough time to do what they want, which is 52 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 2: utter bollocks, because they do have enough time. I've realized 53 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 2: in the last couple of years. It's not because a 54 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 2: lack of time they don't get things done. It's because 55 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: of a lack of will. This government had enough time 56 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 2: to make changes to the supermarkets and take make changes 57 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 2: to the banks, and make changes to the energy sector. 58 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,399 Speaker 2: They've talked about it enough. They haven't done it because 59 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 2: they don't want to do it, because it takes balls. Now, 60 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: I don't want four years because two blocks of three 61 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 2: years of Jacinda Ardun's lunatic labor administration was enough. Can 62 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 2: you imagine how broke the country would be after two 63 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: blocks of four years? No, unless there are new safeguards 64 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 2: brought in, and there are no safeguards proposed, so it's 65 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 2: a hard no. 66 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 3: Heather duper c Ellen. 67 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 2: Can let you know what you think. Nine two ninety 68 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 2: two is the text number. As I said, we'll talk 69 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 2: to the NATS about what their big thinking is on 70 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 2: this after five o'clock now on social media. If you 71 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 2: didn't already think that it's a bit of a grim 72 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 2: place for teenagers, he has a little bit more proof. 73 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 2: There's a documentary maker who set out to find what 74 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 2: an imaginary thirteen year old girl would get served up 75 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 2: by the algorithm. None of it's good news. She only 76 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 2: liked stuff like funny cat videos and Taylor Swift content, 77 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 2: but was really quickly confronted by content about eating disorders 78 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 2: and other mental health issues. And that documentary maker Nadia 79 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 2: Maxwell is with us. Hey Nadia, Hey, hey doing I'm 80 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 2: very well, thank you? So what did you see? 81 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 5: So there was two parts to the experiment. I first 82 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 5: started as before the new teen settings came in, and 83 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 5: like you said, I was searching for you know, Tailiswift 84 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 5: exercise cats. But really quickly the algorithm led me down 85 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 5: a pipeline from exercise videos to what I eaten the 86 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 5: day videos to weight last tips and then within the 87 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 5: four days really heavy eating disorder content. Okay yah yeah, 88 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 5: and then Instagram announced, you know, good news where we're 89 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 5: bringing in teen settings. You know, peace of mind to 90 00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 5: her parents. 91 00:03:58,480 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 2: We've got your backs. 92 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 5: So I waited for those to come in and I 93 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 5: revisited the account. So you know, not only was distressing 94 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 5: content still prevalent, but even when I reported specific content 95 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 5: which clearly breached eating disorder standards by any normal person's standard, 96 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 5: it wasn't taken down. 97 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 2: So did it get better when they're brought in the 98 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 2: new safeguards? 99 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 5: The only positive difference that I saw was that in 100 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 5: part one there was a lot of really over sexualized content, 101 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 5: and so that's dropped down. But in terms of kind 102 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 5: of the sort of content that you'd want your average 103 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 5: fifteen year olds sitting down in front of for hours 104 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 5: a day, you know, there's just still so much heavy 105 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 5: distressing stuff. 106 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 2: Nadia, Look is it stuff that is you know you 107 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 2: can see that it would have a negative effect rein 108 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 2: eating disorder like you might be able to see it. 109 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 2: Or was it absolutely hard out? No, this is really 110 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 2: bad for a thirteen you know what I mean? Is 111 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 2: there any great area? 112 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 6: Yeah? 113 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, for the settings come and definitely there was some 114 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 5: really hard out content. And of course, you know the 115 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 5: irony is, you know, when I was putting together that video, 116 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 5: I had to kind of be careful about what clips 117 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 5: that I selected, because I was hoping that, you know, 118 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 5: that that media would pack it up and help me 119 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 5: get the story out. And of course we've got broadcasting 120 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 5: standards you know, in the real world, but online can 121 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 5: stumble upon this anytime. And part two of the experiment, 122 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 5: some of the more heavy eating just sort of content 123 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 5: didn't come up straight away, but there was still a 124 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 5: loss of Areta recovery content, which you know, you know, 125 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 5: arguably could help somebody in recovery. But this was a 126 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 5: thirteen year old who was never looking for this content, 127 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 5: who was searching for you for liking it. 128 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 2: Do you think that the social media companies are actually 129 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 2: good guys here who really want to protect the children, 130 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 2: or are they just like, actually I don't care, or worse, 131 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 2: actually actively sending it to the kids and just trying 132 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 2: to pretend that they're doing good things here. 133 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 5: Look, I think the problem, you know, is that there's 134 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 5: a huge thing to serve up this distressing content. You know, 135 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 5: their model, their model is engagement. And you know, this 136 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 5: is not really new to us, right, you know, films 137 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 5: like Social Dilemma came out in twenty twenty, so we've 138 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 5: kind of known this for five years. The whole business 139 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 5: model is based on keeping newss on for as long 140 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 5: as possible. 141 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 6: And maybe it's not. 142 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 5: That they're evil, but their algorithm, which you know is 143 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 5: a soulless algorithms, has figured out that actually, you know what, 144 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 5: emotionally charged content keeps kids on long longer. 145 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 2: So I know, yeah, so what is your problem? What 146 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 2: do you reckon? What do you reckon we should do here? 147 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 2: Having had a good old look at it, do you 148 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 2: reckon we take it? Yeah? 149 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 5: Look, I absolutely think we need to follow Australia's lead 150 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 5: and raise the minimum age to sixteen. You know, it's 151 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 5: about empowering parents and we need to reset the social 152 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 5: norms on this. And I think I do already feel 153 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 5: strongly that the appetite is different parents. 154 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 6: You know, we're all tired. 155 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 5: Of having to have these kind of individual battles in 156 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 5: our own homes. 157 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, you got kids. 158 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 5: I've got two girls, yes, two days? 159 00:06:59,440 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 4: Yep? 160 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 2: Yes, what are you doing? 161 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,559 Speaker 5: I My girls aren't on social media? But I would 162 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 5: just like to say that, you know, like I've been 163 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 5: researching this for eighteen months, so when you're kind of 164 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 5: in it every day, it's really it's why you're a 165 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 5: lot easy? 166 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 7: Whod neve you it? 167 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 6: Yeah? 168 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 2: Why you shouldn't apologize for it?

Keith, this 197 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 2: is fair because she got an in twenty twenty, twenty twenty, 198 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 2: which means we would have gone to the vote again. 199 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,199 Speaker 2: So Twitter, No, hold on, when did she come in? 200 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 2: But Laura help me out.

You would have 204 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 2: had fully eight years of her. 205 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 8: Would have depended when we switched to four years as well, 206 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 8: Like that question, It always depends. If we've gone to 207 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 8: four years, you know, ten years before that, then then 208 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 8: we have voted her in twenty eighteen like you. 209 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 2: Know, oh, you've ever complicated it?

So from a sports 215 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 9: point of view, four years is comfortable. 216 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 2: We can build our lives around a lot more. We 217 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 2: can stagger it. We could go New Zealand government elections 218 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 2: must fall halfway between rugby World. 219 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 9: Cups and then we'll know because that pretty much is 220 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:39,959 Speaker 9: more important than new An election. 221 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, to some it is.

I thought they might have split 230 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 9: it up. They would have had one pass to watch 231 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 9: the whole lot. The free to air side of things, 232 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 9: which is the all whites playing, which is basically the 233 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 9: lure to get in there and match passes or day passes.

He's running Zellant 242 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 9: Golf now, but of course he was the man bind 243 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 9: Sparks Sports, so yeah, he's got a he'll have a 244 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 9: clue about what the pit falls were, what the Judda 245 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 9: bars are, what they did wrong. I think they were 246 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 9: ahead of their time because at that stage the technology 247 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 9: wasn't there, people weren't used to using that platform. They 248 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 9: whatever could go wrong went wrong, and it was a 249 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 9: seriously big event. So I was asking for trouble. They 250 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 9: got through. So what did they learn out of that? 251 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,719 Speaker 9: What can they say to TV, hey watch this, But 252 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 9: people are now used to this as an idea. They're 253 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 9: not so resistant to streaming, to climbing on board somewhere 254 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 9: else to get what they want, and with the smart 255 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 9: TVs and a skybox, even someone like me can clown 256 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 9: my way through it and make it work. Okay, So 257 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 9: it's it's brave and I'm interested if it is something 258 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 9: they capitalize and they move further into it and they 259 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 9: become a bigger player in televised sport, if they've got 260 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 9: that inch and that muscle, and I know a lot 261 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 9: of major global organizations love the freedom wear aspect as well. Yeah, 262 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 9: it's god of got that nice balance. So after this, 263 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 9: what do they go for next if this is a success, 264 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 9: and how far that goes? So just going to join 265 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 9: us tonight's talk about it that I'll ask the people 266 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 9: as well if they're resistant after what happened with Spark 267 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 9: because football is not small.

Tvns ha'd better 300 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 2: be careful what they wished for, because Sparksport was disgraceful, 301 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 2: especially for rural New Zealand. Andy, thank you for that. 302 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 2: That is a fair point for twenty five. 303 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 4: Now. 304 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 2: I don't know if you've been you were aware of it, 305 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 2: But overnight there was a search off the coast of Wellington, 306 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 2: which looks increasingly like it might have been a hoax. 307 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 2: So what happened is that about ten o'clock last night 308 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 2: there was a mayday call in the cook Straight person 309 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 2: was calling via VHF channel fourteen, indicated that they were 310 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 2: in distress, said they were three nautical miles south of 311 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 2: Carori Rock. They indicated their boat was taking on water 312 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 2: and there were two people on board. Now obviously that 313 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 2: freaked out the people who took the call, who immediately 314 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 2: tried to get back in touch with them, and then 315 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 2: they didn't respond. They wouldn't. There was no more response, 316 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 2: which again freaked out the people even more. What they 317 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 2: did is they started searching immediately. Everybody went out. Even 318 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 2: when it sounds like even one of the Blueberry Blue, 319 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 2: the Blue the Fairies what are they called, I've got 320 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 2: baby brain really bad. No, the other one, Breebridge, thank 321 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 2: you lord. The baby brain's hit me hard. Okay, brace 322 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 2: yourself with this, guys, because we're gonna have troubles. I'm 323 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 2: like a I'm like a dodgy tv Z in connection 324 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 2: right now. Anyway, the Blue Bridge was out there, the 325 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 2: inter Islander was out there. They had the passengers on 326 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 2: the inter islander looking over board trying to help, and 327 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 2: stuff turned up absolutely nothing. So the cops have now 328 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 2: called off the search they found. They said they found 329 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 2: no objects of interest in the strait, and no objects 330 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 2: during searches the shoreline or the boat ramps, and no 331 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 2: boaties have been reported missing all over due. But even 332 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:45,359 Speaker 2: more importantly, police are making inquiries into the distress radio transmission, 333 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 2: they say, to determine its source and veracity, which, if 334 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 2: you're reading between the lines, is they think it's a hoax.

They're trying to track 397 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 2: her down and she's dropped off the face of the earth, 398 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 2: hasn't she.

And Asia is of the 412 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,479 Speaker 15: view that it's not the only attacks that Iran has 413 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 15: been orchestrating from long distance, but via the offices of 414 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 15: the Iranian embassy in Canberra. As far as the Prime 415 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,479 Speaker 15: Minister's concerned, he says, it's just the most dreadful thing 416 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 15: you can imagine. Imagine another government orchestrating ady submitting attacks 417 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 15: in a second country. So the ambassador's going so to 418 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,719 Speaker 15: a number of staff and Australia's embassy in Iran has 419 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 15: been suspended. And by the way, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard 420 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 15: has been able to listened as a terrorist organization, so 421 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 15: you know, it's it is a developing situation. It's still 422 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 15: I'm really interested to see what it's going to unfold. 423 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 15: Later in the afternoon and the end of the evening, 424 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 15: as our television news bulletins get more information and package 425 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 15: it up for evening consumption, because there's still moving and 426 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,360 Speaker 15: there's still lots of little bits and pieces that I'm 427 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 15: really interested in mass. 428 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,400 Speaker 2: Any indication as to why Iran was targeting Australia in particular. 429 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 4: Well, we don't know at this point. 430 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 12: I mean. 431 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 4: Perhaps mister Albanezi alluded to it. Heather, I'll give you 432 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 4: a quote. 433 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 15: Now, Australian people don't want conflict of the Middle East 434 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 15: to be brought here, and he says Iran has sought 435 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 15: to do just that. They've sought to harm and terrorize 436 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 15: Jewish Australians and so hatred and division in our community 437 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 15: here in Australia, and the actions of my government, says 438 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 15: ALBANIZI send a clear message to all Australia. We stand 439 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 15: against anti Semitism, we stand against violence, and we're not 440 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 15: going to stand for another country like Iran carrying out 441 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 15: these attacks Orchestralian, these attacks on Australian soil. 442 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, good stuff. Okay. Now tell me about these two 443 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 2: police officers killed in the shooting. What's gone down here? 444 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:39,360 Speaker 4: Well, they were ambooks. 445 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 15: According to reports that are coming out of the Victorian 446 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 15: High Country, there were three police executing a warrant that 447 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 15: were investigating historical sex abuse allegations and they were allegedly 448 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 15: ambooshed by a fellow who lived on this property in 449 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 15: a bus. 450 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 4: It's about three hundred kilometers northeast of Melbourne. 451 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 15: For those who know the area, perhaps you've cycled up 452 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 15: through their hiking and you know it's a lovely, beautiful, 453 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 15: peaceful part of the Australian high Country. So these two 454 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 15: officers have been shot dead, the third one hitting the leg. 455 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,719 Speaker 15: Now a huge police presence there, as you might imagine 456 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 15: this afternoon because the government's still on the run. They've 457 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 15: got police and camouflage gear. This is a very very 458 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 15: difficult part of the country to get around. It's very 459 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 15: dense bush, very steep and rocky terrain. We understand a 460 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 15: little bit about the chap they're looking for. He's believed 461 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 15: to be a self proclaimed sovereign citizen. These are people 462 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 15: who consider themselves to be off the grid as far 463 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 15: as any police, any government, any normal societal involvement is concerned. 464 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 15: They don't believe in anything along those lines. Distrust for law, 465 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,199 Speaker 15: distrust for government. He's even changed his name to reflect 466 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 15: as sovereign status. And apparently the two weapons that the 467 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 15: fatally shot officers were carrying were taken from their bodies. 468 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 15: So again unfolding situation. It's a hell of a mess 469 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 15: down there. Of course the Prime Minister you heard that clip, 470 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 15: and of course the Victorian Premier also expressing just the 471 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 15: deepest shock and sadness met what's happened? 472 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 2: Yeah too, right now. Brendan Smith is in a lot 473 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 2: of trouble, isn't He. 474 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 4: Could be could be my word, Brandon Smith for those 475 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 4: who don't know, he's twenty nine years. 476 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 15: Old, a fabulous rugby league player, played I think thirteen 477 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 15: fourteen times for the kiwis also played for the Maori 478 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 15: rugby league side, currently playing for the South Sydney Bunnies 479 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 15: after one hundred and forty odd games with the Storm. 480 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 4: I mean, he's a very good player. 481 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 15: But he's apparently it's emerged that he's in being investigated 482 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 15: for allegedly organizing a cocaine drop for his then teammates. 483 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 4: A bunch of them were up on the Gold Coast 484 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 4: on a bye weekend, the weekend off from rugby league 485 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,120 Speaker 4: up there on a golf. 486 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 15: Trip and they wanted a bit of Bolivian marching powder apparently, 487 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 15: and Brandon Smith. The allegation is that he's put his 488 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 15: hand him said I can sort that out for you. 489 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 15: So there's no suggestion any drugs were consumed or changed hands. 490 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 15: The suggestion is that Smith was perhaps caught on some 491 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 15: sort of listening device, suggesting that it wouldn't be a 492 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 15: problem in Queensland. It's pretty strict under Queensland law. A 493 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 15: person who supplies the drug, whether that in the state 494 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 15: or not, is guilty of a crime if they're convicted. Now, look, 495 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 15: he's had a few other issues in the past. He 496 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 15: made comments about a boozy culture at the Storm that 497 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 15: did not endear him his teammates, and suggestions that he 498 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 15: was involved in taking illegal substances with the Roosters last 499 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 15: year in twenty twenty four season twenty four. So there's 500 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 15: a whole again, another moving story. He had the lots 501 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 15: of moving parts.

It was incredible. Just 532 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 7: over a week ago I was at his eightieth birthday 533 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 7: and the speeches from John and his lovely wife Sarah wonderful. 534 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 7: And I ran into him on Sunday when I was 535 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 7: out walking a little girl and we had a long 536 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,120 Speaker 7: chat then and he died later that day. I found 537 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 7: it absolutely extraordinary. This man was an absolute legend. I've 538 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 7: known him for more than forty years, and in fact 539 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 7: we're involved in business trying to get TV three up 540 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 7: and running in the nineteen eighties. But he went on 541 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 7: to do amazing things in South Pacific Pictures he owned. 542 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 7: He put out those wonderful movies among ten of the 543 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 7: top grossing films in New Zealand. Foot Rock Flats, while 544 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 7: Rider Sione's wedding once were Warriors and the sequel What 545 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 7: Became of the Broken Hearted? You know, an incredible man, 546 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 7: short outrageous fortune. They were his programs as well. And 547 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 7: you know, John was never a man to brag about 548 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 7: what his achievements were, but they were legendary. And the 549 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 7: tributes that have been pouring in for him today are 550 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 7: you know, what would be expected of a man of 551 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 7: this caliber. It's a very sad day for the film 552 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:24,719 Speaker 7: industry in New Zealand. 553 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it is. And also it seems kind 554 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 2: of sad for him because he was so happy. 555 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 7: Oh well, I've never seen John incredibly got married for 556 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 7: the first time in his life at seventy eight, and 557 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 7: he went to New York to get married, and you know, 558 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 7: came back and had a wonderful occasion here with all 559 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 7: his friends. But you know, he I thought at his 560 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 7: eightieth I thought John was the happiest I've ever seen him. 561 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 7: And in fact, when I talked to him on Sunday, 562 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 7: we were talking about age and John was saying, one 563 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 7: thing you've got to do is you've got to keep 564 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 7: he always keep busy, always have a project. I'll tell 565 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 7: you what it does do though, whether it brings home 566 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 7: to you. And I'm sure a lot of listeners listening 567 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 7: to this and so it brings your own mortality home 568 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 7: to you. 569 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 2: And yeah, you just never know what's going on. I mean, 570 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 2: you know, particularly for you at your age. Again, No, 571 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 2: that's not what I mean. 572 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 11: It's not too old, isn't it. 573 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,479 Speaker 2: No, No, I do, I mean I mean that. I mean, 574 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 2: I think I think for for you know, when you 575 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 2: see your peers start falling over your big people in 576 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 2: your life, John Barnett, Bob Jones, people who are important, 577 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 2: it's very confronting. So yeah, sorry, Barry, I won't choose 578 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 2: you about your age anymore. 579 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 4: Thank you. 580 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 2: Okay, now is it? Does it appear to you that 581 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 2: Winston Peters may be getting a bit pissy at the 582 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 2: Prime minister over Palestine. 583 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 3: Oh he is. 584 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 7: And they've said from the start though, in Winston in particular, 585 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 7: and said that look, they'll be making a statement to 586 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 7: the General Assembly in Septeve in New York. And you 587 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 7: know they'll be making a statement essentially to an empty 588 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 7: auditorium because New Zealand being the country of its size, 589 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 7: and I've been there many times with prime ministers, they 590 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 7: stand up New Zealand at the end of the day 591 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 7: most people have gone home, and they deliver a statement. Well, 592 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 7: will I would imagine most certainly recognize Palestine providing this 593 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 7: a two state We've always said there should be a 594 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 7: two state solution. But in the meantime, Winston says that 595 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 7: he's not happy about people running on at the mouth 596 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 7: and giving a running commentary essentially of what's going on there. Well, 597 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 7: the person that's been doing that is the Prime Minister. 598 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 7: But I'm sorry, I think the Prime Minister is well 599 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 7: within his rights. He is the leader of the country 600 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 7: and if he wants to express a view that maybe 601 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 7: outside the gamut of foreign affairs who are quite conservative 602 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 7: in these things, I think the Prime Minister is going to. 603 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 2: Run can I ask you? 604 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 4: Though? 605 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 2: And fair enough with the position that he holds, he 606 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 2: does have a right. But given the man sitting there, 607 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 2: the Foreign Affairs Minister is one of the most experienced 608 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 2: foreign affairs all these countries ever had, would you not 609 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 2: defer to him or listen to him if he is 610 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 2: saying because what Winston is saying is constant commentary on 611 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 2: this is not helpful. So should Luxon not listen to him? 612 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 7: Well, yes he should, but he is the boss and 613 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 7: if he wants to make a statement, I mean you 614 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 7: look at all the other countries around the world that 615 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 7: have made statements about the madness of Netanyahu and lux 616 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 7: and saying he lost the plot. I think that's absolutely 617 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 7: fair commentary. 618 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 2: We don't know what's going on in the background. So 619 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 2: sitting aside, sitting aside the fact that Luckson is the boss, 620 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 2: because he is your rights ultimately his call. If you 621 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 2: had to choose between Winston or Chris Luxon being right 622 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 2: on this, who would you choose? 623 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 7: Well, there is no right on this, I don't think. 624 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 7: I mean, you know, you can say you can tread 625 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 7: very carefully on this and take all the facts into account, 626 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 7: but you know you only have to turn on the 627 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 7: television every night to see what's happening in gars and 628 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 7: the occupation of Garza City to say, well, look, so 629 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,239 Speaker 7: isn't right here, and we've got I think we've got 630 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 7: a duty as a country to speaker. 631 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 2: Now, Baro, I don't have a long time, so just 632 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 2: hit me with your spray on the four years go on. 633 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 7: Oh well, I see, I've always been an advocate for 634 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 7: four years, and I said so in the referendum number 635 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 7: of years ago. That was lost. But you know the 636 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 7: idea that you can decide between three and four years. 637 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 7: You can get four years if you give the chairmanship 638 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 7: of select committees to the opposition is. 639 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 2: Patiently David was overly complicated. But were you imagining this. 640 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 7: If the chair of a select committee had the casting 641 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 7: vote on every piece of legislation and it happened to 642 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 7: be the opposition, you would never get anything. 643 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 4: Done in Parliament. 644 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 7: And you know you say there are checks and balances, 645 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 7: and there are in many systems of Senates in the 646 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 7: United States and the House of Lords in Britain. We've 647 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 7: got after our higher House that we did have here 648 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 7: until the fifties, we've got the select committee process.

It 673 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 2: sounds like it's not just business parcels. It's like any 674 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 2: parcel you can't seend Christmas parcels, you can't send anything. 675 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 2: Am I right in that? That's what it sounds like. Yeah, 676 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 2: I am right in that. Seasons well, I'm checking everything, 677 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 2: referring everything up today because we've got a hectic case 678 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 2: of baby brain. Anyway, It's not just us, so don't 679 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 2: be hating on New Zealand Post. European parcels also suspended. 680 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 2: Australian parcels also suspended. It's basically because of the tariffs. 681 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 2: It's so complex because you've got it. If you're the 682 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 2: person sending it, you have to figure out where your 683 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 2: goods are manufactured in the parcels and then you have 684 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 2: to figure out with the tariff. What a pain in 685 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 2: the butt. So as a result, New Zealand Post are 686 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 2: figuring out how to deal with it and it might 687 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 2: be weeks before you can send parcels again, hopefully in 688 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 2: time for Christmas. Listen Lincoln University, funny thing has happened there, well, 689 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 2: funny ish. I suppose the kids have been busted with 690 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 2: the AI cheating. So they were in a coding class 691 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 2: of doing coding for the computers and yeah, some of 692 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 2: them quite quite clearly had been using the AI. So 693 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 2: what they did was they got everybody who sat the 694 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 2: exam to come in and do it again and they 695 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 2: have to do a verbal expls nation this time, which 696 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 2: is quite harsh because it affects everybody, but it does 697 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 2: be but you know you. Basically, the theory is if 698 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 2: you can't explain your code, explain your code, then you 699 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 2: didn't write your code. That's how they're going to figure 700 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 2: it out. But it does make you wonder if maybe 701 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 2: that's what they should have done in the first place, 702 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 2: because obviously AI was going to be used in anything 703 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 2: to do with computers. At the moment, the young kids 704 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 2: are all over it. Anyway, we'll have a chat to 705 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 2: Lincoln about that after half past five. Next up, though, 706 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 2: let's talk to the Nats about the four year term. 707 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: Newstalks the only drive show you can trust to ask 708 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: the questions, get the answers, find the fag and give 709 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: the analysis. Here the duplicl and Drive with one New 710 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: Zealand and the Power of Satellite Mobile newstalgs V afternoon. 711 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 2: Looks like we're getting closer to a referendum on the 712 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 2: four year term for governments. The Justice Select Committee has 713 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 2: recommended stripping out some of the more complicated parts of 714 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 2: this particular law, which is cause David Seymour, who actually 715 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 2: sponsored the law, to walk away from supporting it. But 716 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 2: it does seem that every other party in Parliament still 717 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 2: supports it. Andrew Bailey is the chair of the Justice 718 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 2: Select Committee and with us hey Andrew Hello, is the 719 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 2: National Party going to vote for this? 720 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:21,879 Speaker 17: Oh look, that's a decision for a caucus, but it's 721 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 17: had almost unanimous agreement across the committee that we should 722 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 17: put it to a referendum. 723 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 2: The question is when twenty twenty six. 724 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 17: Well, from a committee's perspective, we suggested both twenty twenty 725 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 17: six or twenty twenty nine, but we did note that 726 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 17: if you want to try and do it next year, 727 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 17: it's the government's call whether it might. At there a 728 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 17: couple of issues significant issues. One is that how do 729 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 17: you coincide central central government elections alongside local council elections, 730 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 17: So under the proposed term that was going to be variable, 731 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 17: so might end up having elections in the same year. 732 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 17: And the second thing, there's quite a large reform of 733 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 17: electoral laws going through that the committee's looking at the moment, 734 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 17: and so we've said, given that and the capacity issues 735 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 17: within Electoral Commission to be able to handle all that, 736 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 17: we just said, if you want to do it next year, 737 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 17: there will be challenging. 738 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 2: Okay, so more likely twenty twenty nine. Then what checks 739 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 2: are you putting in to replace what you've stripped out? 740 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 2: Read the select committees? 741 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 10: We haven't. 742 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 18: The issue was. 743 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 17: Did the proposal in the bill work? And there are 744 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 17: a lot of submitters who said that it wouldn't and 745 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 17: the committee came to a view apart from active, and 746 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 17: it came to view that the complicated structure around the 747 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 17: different types of committee arrangements just wouldn't work under that situation. 748 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 17: That doesn't mean that a future government might look at 749 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 17: other options around it. But I think the central theme 750 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 17: around whether we should have a referendum on three year 751 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 17: or four year term centers around the issue around is 752 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,880 Speaker 17: it more effective for governments and ministers are able to 753 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 17: do their job in that longer term. And one might 754 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,959 Speaker 17: argue that if it is a four year term, maybe 755 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 17: it's more lucky that governments get turfed out after only 756 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 17: one term of four years rather than three years. 757 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 2: Which are you arguing, Are you arguing you don't need 758 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 2: any more checks, you don't need to add in a 759 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 2: new layer of checks. 760 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 17: No, I'm not arguing that. I'm just saying the committee 761 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 17: we had to consider the bill that was in front 762 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 17: of us, and that had a certain proposal in it 763 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 17: which the Committee came to a view that was too complicated, 764 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 17: so on that basis we couldn't support it. That doesn't 765 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 17: mean that might be other ways looking at do. 766 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 2: You think that there should be if we extend it 767 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 2: from three to four years, we should add another check in. 768 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:48,239 Speaker 17: You asked me personally, Well, that's a different thing. I 769 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:52,399 Speaker 17: can say what the committee's view on it. I think 770 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,239 Speaker 17: personally I think that's a benefit about having a four 771 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 17: year term. But you know, there's a lot of different 772 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 17: views on that. But the issue is I think the 773 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 17: central issues where that we get more effective government around 774 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 17: having a longer term. 775 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,439 Speaker 2: Okay, hey, Andrew, thanks very much, appreciate it. Andrew Bailey, 776 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 2: chair of the Justice Select Committee. 777 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 3: Either do for cellen. 778 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 2: Australian Intelligence Services say Iran was behind two anti Semitic 779 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 2: attacks on Australian soil. The attacks were on Adas Israel 780 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 2: Synagogue in Melbourne and then Lewis Continental Kitchen and Bondi. 781 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,760 Speaker 2: Both were allegedly arranged by Iran through intermediaries. The Iranian 782 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 2: ambassad has been expelled must leave Australia in the next week. 783 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,359 Speaker 2: Charles Crounscher is Channel nine chief political editor with US 784 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 2: now h Charles, Hey, Heather, Have they explained how they 785 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:35,359 Speaker 2: know it was a run? 786 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,279 Speaker 19: No, they haven't because there are people that have been 787 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 19: arrested in this situation. So that we still investigations going on, 788 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:42,799 Speaker 19: and there will be the chance that these people become 789 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 19: prose prosecuted, which is unusual when it comes to the 790 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 19: intelligence operations. But also this is an unusual situation. This 791 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 19: would be the first time since World War Two that 792 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 19: Australia has been attacked at the behest of a foreign government. 793 00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 19: It's certainly one of the first times we've expelled an 794 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,839 Speaker 19: ambassador since World War Two as well. So we are 795 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 19: in unusual circumstances here, but the government azo the Australian 796 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:12,319 Speaker 19: Federal Police confident enough to make that announcement today. Our 797 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:17,399 Speaker 19: embassy in Iran has been evacuated. The ambassador over there 798 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 19: and any embassy staff have left the country and that's 799 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 19: the expectation that Iran's ambassador will do so within a week. 800 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 2: Have they explained why Iran wanted to target Australia of all. 801 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 3: Places, Yeah, they have. 802 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 19: The idea here is they say the motivation is to 803 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 19: cause a fracturing of the society in some ways and 804 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 19: also to isolate Jewish Australians here in particular. 805 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 3: As for why, of. 806 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 19: All the countries in the world, we would be choosing 807 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 19: to take Australia in our part of the world that's 808 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 19: not clear now. 809 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 2: The Australian diplomats in Irana ware. 810 00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 19: A third country. They haven't said where they've evacuated two. 811 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 19: Given that area, I guess it's one of the other 812 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 19: Arab states that we do have better relations with, but 813 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 19: they won't say where. 814 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:08,080 Speaker 3: They are at the moment. 815 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 19: Only they were told yesterday to get out, so it 816 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 19: was it would be a fairly hairy in twenty four 817 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 19: hours to clear out an embassy and get out of 818 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 19: the country, all while raising as little suspicion as possible 819 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 19: throughout Tehran as this is going on. 820 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Charles listen, thanks for talking us through to 821 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,360 Speaker 2: appreciate it. As Charles Croucher, Channel nine's chief political editor, 822 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 2: Heather duper c ellen, whether I work for a software 823 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,400 Speaker 2: development company and our devs are relishing AI and how 824 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 2: much work it is cutting down for them and universities 825 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,320 Speaker 2: need to get on board with us, I would agree 826 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 2: with it, wouldn't you agree that. I had a conversation 827 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,279 Speaker 2: about this the other day because I asked one of 828 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,480 Speaker 2: the because we're in the reporting season at the minute, 829 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 2: and I think I'm going to be the spark boss. 830 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,359 Speaker 2: I asked her what are you doing with the AI? 831 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 2: What are you using it for? And she's using it 832 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 2: for a whole bunch of stuff. And then one of 833 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,239 Speaker 2: my friends piped up and said, oh, yeah, I heard that. 834 00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:57,919 Speaker 4: Yeah. 835 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 2: One of the other chief executives around New Zealand, not 836 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 2: naming any names, organized his entire holiday using AI, right 837 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,399 Speaker 2: down to booking. Well, he didn't the AI, didn't book 838 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 2: the accommodation, but he asked AI like, I've got two 839 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,080 Speaker 2: children or whatever I want to go, blah blah whatever 840 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 2: do this do that needs to be four star whatever 841 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:16,800 Speaker 2: it needs to be, and AI gave him all. It 842 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:18,640 Speaker 2: needs to be in trendy part of town to did 843 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,719 Speaker 2: the AI gave him everything and he used that and 844 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,440 Speaker 2: then booked his trip based the entire thing on AI. Anyway, 845 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,800 Speaker 2: So my friends and I got talking about it, and 846 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 2: then one of my friends was like, you need to 847 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 2: ask literally every CEO what they're using AI for. So 848 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:31,719 Speaker 2: why do you why do you want me to do that? 849 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 2: She said, Oh, because people are still freaked out about 850 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 2: AI and we need to normalize it for them. And 851 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 2: do you know what I think that's bang on. I 852 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,279 Speaker 2: think people are weirdly freaked out about AI and we 853 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 2: need to normalize it. And by the way, if you're 854 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 2: not using AI for your job, and we are literally 855 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 2: all answer you're using AI. No, he's the no surprise, 856 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,520 Speaker 2: no surprise either. Rest of us are using AI for 857 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,799 Speaker 2: our job every single day.

Why do you think 921 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,080 Speaker 2: that is? Is there a genuine interest in us for 922 00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 2: some reason? 923 00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:00,760 Speaker 20: I think this is the path. I think we We're 924 00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 20: a small country down here in New Zealand, five million 925 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,919 Speaker 20: people and if you can get to the point where 926 00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:09,240 Speaker 20: you're ready to take that product offshore into much bigger markets, 927 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 20: this is really the way that you do it. 928 00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, brilliant stuff. Hey, thank you very much, James, James McGlenn, 929 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:15,480 Speaker 2: event find a co founder. 930 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:16,160 Speaker 12: Listen. 931 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,480 Speaker 2: As I said to you earlier, apparently there's heaps of 932 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,239 Speaker 2: international interest in buying New Zealand businesses. It's now at 933 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 2: an all time high. This is according to a survey 934 00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:27,920 Speaker 2: by Simpson Grierson. Forty nine percent of respondents considered plowing 935 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,719 Speaker 2: more cash in here in the next year. This is 936 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,839 Speaker 2: obviously international firms. That's up from forty percent last year. 937 00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,799 Speaker 2: Apparently what's going well is the government going around saying 938 00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:39,200 Speaker 2: we're open for business. They're hearing it, they are registering it, 939 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,239 Speaker 2: and they're seeing it and so they're coming in for it, 940 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,600 Speaker 2: but also they're also seeing the policy changes right the 941 00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,319 Speaker 2: reforms to the Overseas Investment Act talk about the foreign 942 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,120 Speaker 2: buyers being able to get into the houses and so 943 00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,640 Speaker 2: on and so on. There may also be an aspect 944 00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:54,160 Speaker 2: of it is that New Zealand businesses are relatively cheap 945 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,120 Speaker 2: compared to others. But we're going to canvas all of 946 00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:57,560 Speaker 2: this when we have a chat to Salt Funds, they 947 00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,560 Speaker 2: will be with us just after half past six twenty one. 948 00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,120 Speaker 1: The name you trusted to get the answers you need, 949 00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:08,520 Speaker 1: it's Heather dup clan drive with one New Zealand coverage 950 00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,120 Speaker 1: like no one else us talk the'd be Whither're. 951 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,120 Speaker 2: A window manufacturer in Palmerston North also sold last week 952 00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,320 Speaker 2: to two Australians and that would have been worth millions. 953 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:17,919 Speaker 6: Brilliant stuff. 954 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:18,680 Speaker 3: Well done you guys. 955 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,840 Speaker 2: Five point twenty four. Now let's talk about tv and 956 00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:22,560 Speaker 2: Z putting the FIFA behind a paywall. 957 00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:23,279 Speaker 6: Now. 958 00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,279 Speaker 2: I think TVZ got a little bit over excited on 959 00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,800 Speaker 2: the television news last night when it was an exclusive 960 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 2: lead story and then they called it the game changer. 961 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,320 Speaker 2: It's not really a game changer, is it? 962 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:33,640 Speaker 4: For you? 963 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,840 Speaker 2: And I I mean, if we didn't have the FIFA 964 00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,359 Speaker 2: World Cup partly free to air and then partly behind 965 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,800 Speaker 2: TVNZ's paywall, we simply have had it on Sky, partly 966 00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:46,040 Speaker 2: free to air and partly behind their skate their paywall. 967 00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 2: So the game is not, as they say, changed for 968 00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,440 Speaker 2: us the customers, but for them it is absolutely a 969 00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,320 Speaker 2: game changer because this will be the first time that 970 00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,680 Speaker 2: TV and Z is popping content up behind a paywall, 971 00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 2: and I'm amped for them. I really hope for them 972 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,239 Speaker 2: that it goes well, mainly for selfish reasons, which is 973 00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,760 Speaker 2: that we taxpayers then don't have to end up bailing 974 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,440 Speaker 2: TVNZ out in the future. I think the days I mean, 975 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:08,960 Speaker 2: I've come to terms with the fact that the days 976 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,920 Speaker 2: of TV and Z paying the government a dividend are 977 00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,160 Speaker 2: probably long gone. The way it looks right now with 978 00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,359 Speaker 2: the media market, I think what we should be hoping 979 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,600 Speaker 2: for is that TVNZ just washes its own face and 980 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:19,880 Speaker 2: doesn't come looking for help to survive. But for that 981 00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:21,879 Speaker 2: to happen, they need to figure out how to take 982 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:25,480 Speaker 2: themselves from a linear TV free to all offering to 983 00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,280 Speaker 2: a digital streaming, some of it behind a pay wall offering. 984 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,080 Speaker 2: This is the only way that they're going to make 985 00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,879 Speaker 2: enough money to keep broadcasting to us without us having 986 00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,000 Speaker 2: to chuck heaps of money at them. And even as 987 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:36,960 Speaker 2: I say that, I suspect that we will still have 988 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:38,640 Speaker 2: to chuck heaps of money at them in the future 989 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,400 Speaker 2: just to keep Kiwi shows available. Maybe the best that 990 00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,280 Speaker 2: we can hope for is that it's actually not heaps, 991 00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,600 Speaker 2: just a little bit of money that we're chucking at them. 992 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,640 Speaker 2: Who knows, And maybe it's not even just for selfish reasons. 993 00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,560 Speaker 2: Maybe I'm also hoping it'll work because I'm hoping that 994 00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,279 Speaker 2: our national television broadcaster finds a way to survive and 995 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,759 Speaker 2: thrive in a new digital world so that we can 996 00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,440 Speaker 2: keep watching ourselves as kiwis back on Telly, which I 997 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:03,040 Speaker 2: do think is either way, I have my fingers crossed 998 00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,160 Speaker 2: for them that they nailed this and that this is 999 00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:06,879 Speaker 2: the start of something really good for them. 1000 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,239 Speaker 3: Heather Duplasla Either I. 1001 00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,840 Speaker 2: Use AI every night for dinner and spo I'm on 1002 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,000 Speaker 2: a budget, so I tell it my ingredients and I 1003 00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,600 Speaker 2: get several options, and it's brilliant. I've never been disappointed 1004 00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,840 Speaker 2: with the AI response. How good is that? Hither I 1005 00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,239 Speaker 2: love using AI. My two kids booked a holiday in 1006 00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,880 Speaker 2: Japan using it. Because I'm a cautious gen xer. I 1007 00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,960 Speaker 2: got them to double check everything. They eventually noticed one 1008 00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,680 Speaker 2: of the hotels that recommend it didn't actually exist. It 1009 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,239 Speaker 2: is great, but use it with caution. I think we've 1010 00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,800 Speaker 2: all realized the old hallucinations are a real thing on 1011 00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,600 Speaker 2: the AI. I used it yesterday to double check a 1012 00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,879 Speaker 2: fact that I knew and it just made up a fact. 1013 00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,920 Speaker 2: So you do have to and that could be time consuming. 1014 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,000 Speaker 2: I'm starting to feel like, you know, you've got to 1015 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,000 Speaker 2: You've got to use it, building in a bit of 1016 00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,319 Speaker 2: time for the old double checking Hither I use chat 1017 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,759 Speaker 2: GPT to plan an eight week trip through Europe. The 1018 00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,800 Speaker 2: itinery and the accommodation were fabulous. James Aki, do you 1019 00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,000 Speaker 2: know what I used it for the other day, which 1020 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,560 Speaker 2: the German told me off, you know, big way for 1021 00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:04,239 Speaker 2: was I put my kid's photos into it and I said, 1022 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,160 Speaker 2: tell me what this child is going to look like 1023 00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,319 Speaker 2: at twenty one, And it came back for the three 1024 00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,240 Speaker 2: and a half year old boy, and I thought, jeez, 1025 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:12,800 Speaker 2: you're going to be you are going to be a 1026 00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,920 Speaker 2: handsome young man. You are And then I put in 1027 00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:18,279 Speaker 2: the I think she might have been about three months 1028 00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,080 Speaker 2: at that stage. I put in the three month old. 1029 00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:22,759 Speaker 2: I said, tell me what this child is going to 1030 00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,759 Speaker 2: look like at twenty one, and I thought, geez, you're 1031 00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:27,719 Speaker 2: going to be a handsome young man as well, which 1032 00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:31,200 Speaker 2: is a surprise, because AI couldn't tell the difference, couldn't 1033 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:33,239 Speaker 2: tell it was a baby girl, which, to be fair, 1034 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,960 Speaker 2: is fine. I mean, much of the time we're relying 1035 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,319 Speaker 2: on the color combo of the outfit, aren't we. They 1036 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:40,240 Speaker 2: all look the same. They just look like little turnips 1037 00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,840 Speaker 2: at that stage, it little old men. Anyway. Then I 1038 00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:44,960 Speaker 2: said that, by the way, I thinks a lot, it 1039 00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:47,440 Speaker 2: is a girl, and she came, she's beautiful, she's good, 1040 00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:49,720 Speaker 2: and I can see it, you know. Anyway, the German 1041 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:51,960 Speaker 2: told me off. She said, I'm harvesting my own children's 1042 00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,319 Speaker 2: photos and I shouldn't be doing that. But you can 1043 00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:56,839 Speaker 2: do that, and it's quite it's quite a fun little thing. 1044 00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:58,760 Speaker 2: You're welcome, Lincoln Next. 1045 00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,120 Speaker 1: On your smart speaker, on the iHeart app, and in 1046 00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:11,200 Speaker 1: your car on your drive home, it's Heather Duplicy Ellen 1047 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,719 Speaker 1: Drive with One New Zealand and the power of satellite 1048 00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:16,480 Speaker 1: Mobile news talk zab. 1049 00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:20,760 Speaker 4: To have value. 1050 00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,879 Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, big day for this company. Owner 1051 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,360 Speaker 2: of nz ME, Oh sorry, owner of newstalk zib in 1052 00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,400 Speaker 2: the eral. The NZME has reported results today. Actually not 1053 00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,800 Speaker 2: doing too badly considering how badly every other media company 1054 00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,680 Speaker 2: is doing. Just spent a lot of money, spent a 1055 00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:41,520 Speaker 2: lot of money on lawyers trying to stop that board takeover. Anyway, 1056 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,360 Speaker 2: we'll talk to the boss after six o'clock about that. 1057 00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,960 Speaker 2: The huddle standing by right now. It's twenty five away 1058 00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:46,640 Speaker 2: from sex. 1059 00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,479 Speaker 3: Now together, duplicy Ellen. 1060 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:52,040 Speaker 2: An entire class of Lincoln University students are being retested 1061 00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,440 Speaker 2: because it is suspected that some of them usday I 1062 00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,160 Speaker 2: to cheat. More than one hundred students are now going 1063 00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,919 Speaker 2: to have to orally explain the code that they wrote 1064 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,319 Speaker 2: for their exam to the professor to ensure that they 1065 00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:06,359 Speaker 2: understand their work. Chad Hewitt is the provost professor at 1066 00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:10,719 Speaker 2: Lincoln University in christ Church and with US now high Chad, Hello, 1067 00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:14,240 Speaker 2: out of the one hundred, how many students are suspected 1068 00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:14,920 Speaker 2: of using AI? 1069 00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:19,600 Speaker 21: I'm not sure about that. The academic canvolve do it. 1070 00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:23,200 Speaker 21: The course has just identified a high number of suspected 1071 00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:26,759 Speaker 21: cases As a consequence, the easiest thing to do is 1072 00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:31,400 Speaker 21: to bring the students in and to ask them questions. 1073 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,880 Speaker 2: Is it fair to make the whole class reset it 1074 00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:36,640 Speaker 2: rather than just the ones you guys. 1075 00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:40,160 Speaker 21: Suspect Well, I think the challenge is to get a 1076 00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:46,200 Speaker 21: normative understanding of the understanding of the assignment, the mechanisms 1077 00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:49,839 Speaker 21: by which the students wrote the code. I think it's 1078 00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:53,240 Speaker 21: not an onerous task to ask the students' questions. 1079 00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,719 Speaker 2: Okay, should this not have been how you tested them 1080 00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:58,960 Speaker 2: in the first place with oral exams? 1081 00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:00,279 Speaker 13: No? 1082 00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:05,279 Speaker 21: In this instance, for fintech, they're very interested in the 1083 00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:09,759 Speaker 21: student's ability to write code. We won't know how the 1084 00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:13,200 Speaker 21: students undertake the work, so usually you would do that. 1085 00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:19,800 Speaker 21: The students were very clearly identified that the desire was 1086 00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,879 Speaker 21: to understand their work and how they wrote the code, 1087 00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,040 Speaker 21: with the expectation that some students would make mistakes and 1088 00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:30,120 Speaker 21: therefore you learn through those mistakes. In this case, there 1089 00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:34,480 Speaker 21: were a very large number of students that indicated a 1090 00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:38,320 Speaker 21: high level of proficiency, which is unexpected. 1091 00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,880 Speaker 2: So okay, let me just try to understand what you 1092 00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:44,200 Speaker 2: just said. So, if it was the case that only 1093 00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:46,880 Speaker 2: a few students had cheated, you'd let it slide, But 1094 00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:48,640 Speaker 2: because lots of them cheated, you're not going to let 1095 00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:49,080 Speaker 2: it slide. 1096 00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:53,960 Speaker 21: No, we would not let it slide. The challenge, of 1097 00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,360 Speaker 21: course is finding out and being able to detect the 1098 00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:59,600 Speaker 21: use of generative artificial intelligence. 1099 00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,759 Speaker 2: But come on, I mean, the thing is, if kids 1100 00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,320 Speaker 2: are using computers, every single one of them has the 1101 00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:09,719 Speaker 2: option at least of cheating. So should we not, as universities, 1102 00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,920 Speaker 2: be moving to using oral exams more. I mean, sure, 1103 00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:14,680 Speaker 2: get them to write the code, but then make the 1104 00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,120 Speaker 2: oral exam part of it in order to get around 1105 00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:17,479 Speaker 2: the AI. 1106 00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:21,200 Speaker 21: Well, that may be a mechanism that we employ in 1107 00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,440 Speaker 21: the future. But of course, this is a course of 1108 00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:26,680 Speaker 21: one hundred and twenty students, and you do try and 1109 00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:31,520 Speaker 21: identify things that will allow you to measure the performance 1110 00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:37,080 Speaker 21: of the course through simple terms. Obviously, in this case, 1111 00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:41,360 Speaker 21: resetting all of the students is an unexpected change of events, 1112 00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,720 Speaker 21: but it's better than actually turning them into the productor 1113 00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:46,279 Speaker 21: and having an investigation occur. 1114 00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,160 Speaker 2: So the problem is basically that when you have this 1115 00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,600 Speaker 2: many students, it's just too hard to go through the 1116 00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:53,319 Speaker 2: whole kerfuffle of oral exams. Yeah. 1117 00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:55,360 Speaker 3: No, the oral. 1118 00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:59,480 Speaker 21: Exams will give you a lesson in terms of some material, 1119 00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:01,800 Speaker 21: but it's not actually what we're trying to test. We 1120 00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,680 Speaker 21: want to know how the students think and code, so 1121 00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:09,000 Speaker 21: having them actually do and perform the task is critical. 1122 00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,040 Speaker 2: In terms of no, Chad, I think you misunderstand me. 1123 00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:13,879 Speaker 2: I'm not saying that you replace one with the other. 1124 00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,200 Speaker 2: I just think in the age of AI, we're going 1125 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,520 Speaker 2: to have do, aren't we, With everything moved towards getting 1126 00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:22,480 Speaker 2: the kids right in front of you, explaining that they 1127 00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:23,920 Speaker 2: understand it, whatever the subject. 1128 00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:31,320 Speaker 21: Possibly, I think there are instances where the assessments can 1129 00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:34,279 Speaker 21: be focused where we allow AI use and then we 1130 00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:38,280 Speaker 21: expect the students to criticize it. There are other instances 1131 00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,880 Speaker 21: where we allow the AI use but for it to 1132 00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:44,600 Speaker 21: be clearly articulated and declared. In this case, the students 1133 00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:46,640 Speaker 21: were expected to use their own brain. 1134 00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,480 Speaker 2: Okay, Chad, thanks very much, appreciate it. Chad Hewitt, who's 1135 00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,600 Speaker 2: the provost professor at Lincoln University. 1136 00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:58,400 Speaker 1: The huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty find your. 1137 00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,040 Speaker 2: One of a Kind, added me this evening we have 1138 00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,560 Speaker 2: Craig rinny c to you economist and the legot of 1139 00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:08,560 Speaker 2: infrastructure New Zealand. Hell, are you too, Craig? Do you 1140 00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:09,239 Speaker 2: use the AI? 1141 00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:11,560 Speaker 22: I try not to. 1142 00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:15,640 Speaker 18: Occasionally I do, but generally speaking it's not something that 1143 00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:16,480 Speaker 18: really works for me. 1144 00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:17,080 Speaker 4: Why not. 1145 00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:22,560 Speaker 18: I'm dealing with complicated data sets and there's a consequence. 1146 00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:25,399 Speaker 18: It's really hard to get the AI to work that way. 1147 00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:28,160 Speaker 18: And see, Frank, I'm quite old fashioned. I still own 1148 00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,719 Speaker 18: a calculator. I still prefer to do it that way 1149 00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:31,479 Speaker 18: rather than. 1150 00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:36,040 Speaker 2: Just for like, you know, I've got I've got I 1151 00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:40,400 Speaker 2: don't know, potato and three carrots in a tender tuna. 1152 00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:42,040 Speaker 2: What should I make for dinner? You don't even use 1153 00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:42,320 Speaker 2: it for that? 1154 00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:47,680 Speaker 18: At that point I'd pick up deliver easy and get 1155 00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:49,480 Speaker 18: that to solve the problem. But I think it's a 1156 00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:54,080 Speaker 18: really interesting question from your previous interview, which is how 1157 00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:58,640 Speaker 18: you stop students from using AI to answer the question 1158 00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:02,000 Speaker 18: about being asked about how you didn't use AI. You 1159 00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:06,479 Speaker 18: know in your previous exam. It's everywhere, and it's really 1160 00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:09,680 Speaker 18: hard to get people, even in an oral exam, to 1161 00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:12,359 Speaker 18: stop them from learning via AI the thing that they 1162 00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:13,640 Speaker 18: should have learned in the first place. 1163 00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:15,120 Speaker 2: Absolutely, what do you reckon? 1164 00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:15,359 Speaker 6: Nick? 1165 00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:18,600 Speaker 4: Look? 1166 00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:19,120 Speaker 2: Are you there? 1167 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,000 Speaker 22: I wondered, why, Oh, yes, sir, I am sorry. 1168 00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:28,400 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, did you have any people would like that? Okay? Arry? I. 1169 00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:33,480 Speaker 22: I thought your interview was very interesting because you were 1170 00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:37,360 Speaker 22: thinking ahead here there are asking questions about how we 1171 00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:39,600 Speaker 22: deal with this in the future, and I just don't 1172 00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:46,200 Speaker 22: think I think it's that the the academic chaps, you know, 1173 00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:49,399 Speaker 22: he was struggling with that, and I think that's representative 1174 00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:51,879 Speaker 22: of society, like we are going to have to jump 1175 00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:55,640 Speaker 22: ahead and consider, well, if everybody's doing this, how do 1176 00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:58,800 Speaker 22: we measure their knowledge and their understanding in the future. 1177 00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:01,480 Speaker 22: I thought the oral test was quite a good one, 1178 00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:05,320 Speaker 22: you know, for this particular assessment. And you know, the 1179 00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:08,080 Speaker 22: other question that sort of came into my mind as 1180 00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:11,600 Speaker 22: I listened to your questioning was how are we going 1181 00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:13,839 Speaker 22: to look back at this in three or five years time. 1182 00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:15,239 Speaker 22: Are we going to look back and go, yeah, I 1183 00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:17,480 Speaker 22: know we're on the right track sticking to our guns, 1184 00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:20,320 Speaker 22: thinking that everybody had to be retested or is the 1185 00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:23,320 Speaker 22: world just going to have moved on because of AI 1186 00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,480 Speaker 22: and the way everybody just uses it without even thinking? 1187 00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:27,800 Speaker 22: So you know what the problem? 1188 00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:29,719 Speaker 2: But was it obvious to you what the problem is? 1189 00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:29,960 Speaker 12: Nick? 1190 00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:32,520 Speaker 2: The problem for universities is that they try to pump 1191 00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:35,760 Speaker 2: kids out nowadays, just like it's just like a sausage 1192 00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:37,359 Speaker 2: factory eight Like a kid goes in and they come 1193 00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,120 Speaker 2: up with a degree. And so if you have to 1194 00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,399 Speaker 2: slow that process down and test one hundred and twenty 1195 00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:45,239 Speaker 2: kids in every single class, verbally, you're not going to 1196 00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:46,960 Speaker 2: be able to make as much money. There's your problem. 1197 00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:50,719 Speaker 22: Well, I just think that probably they're quite rigid in 1198 00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,600 Speaker 22: the way they've decided, you know, and they want to 1199 00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:56,279 Speaker 22: assess students. And that's what I was picking up is 1200 00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:58,920 Speaker 22: that they just shiver as we don't have another way 1201 00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:02,040 Speaker 22: of doing this, and we can't deviate. Now I understand 1202 00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:04,759 Speaker 22: that from practical a practical perspective, I just think we're 1203 00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:08,640 Speaker 22: going to have to evolve very quickly. Do you use method. 1204 00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:10,759 Speaker 2: Nick? 1205 00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:11,799 Speaker 22: Sorry? 1206 00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:12,120 Speaker 3: What was that? 1207 00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:13,160 Speaker 2: Do you use ai? 1208 00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:15,959 Speaker 22: Does the Pope wear a little red hat? Of course? 1209 00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:16,160 Speaker 3: I do? 1210 00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:17,280 Speaker 2: What useful? 1211 00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:24,800 Speaker 22: I use it for everything, interestingly, a lot of generating thought, 1212 00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:26,640 Speaker 22: you know, thought for me, you know, like, oh, I've 1213 00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:28,600 Speaker 22: got a question about such and such and it might 1214 00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:30,520 Speaker 22: be a work related topic or it might not be, 1215 00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:34,440 Speaker 22: and it can give me immediately because it knows men. 1216 00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:39,360 Speaker 22: Because I educate it. It knows exactly the direction I want. 1217 00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,520 Speaker 2: To go off, Like, give you an example, what kind 1218 00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:43,240 Speaker 2: of existential questions are you asking it? 1219 00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:43,880 Speaker 3: Oh? 1220 00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:47,240 Speaker 22: Well, okay, let me think you know what, what are 1221 00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:51,880 Speaker 22: some interesting infrastructure delivery models in Scandinavia? 1222 00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:58,560 Speaker 2: And even I'm so sorry for AI. AI hates you. 1223 00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:01,520 Speaker 2: AI wishes that you were not a customer. Hey, it's 1224 00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:03,440 Speaker 2: much more interested than what I'm doing, which is sending 1225 00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:05,600 Speaker 2: my kids photo Craig, do you see that you're being 1226 00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:06,840 Speaker 2: left behind? You being it on with it? 1227 00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:11,560 Speaker 18: It's just I don't know. When we talk about the university, 1228 00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:14,320 Speaker 18: I wouldn't want us to lose the currency of the 1229 00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:17,920 Speaker 18: qualifications that we have. Yes, I wouldn't want us to 1230 00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:18,480 Speaker 18: lose you know. 1231 00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:19,720 Speaker 3: You know, we go there. 1232 00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,560 Speaker 18: We give these institutions the ability to award people with 1233 00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:25,800 Speaker 18: degrees and certificates that allow them to earn lots more 1234 00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:28,680 Speaker 18: money to make, you know, decisions for other people. You know, 1235 00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:31,760 Speaker 18: AI is really important. Clearly, we've got to design you know, 1236 00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:34,919 Speaker 18: institutions around you know, the different environment in which they're 1237 00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:36,040 Speaker 18: going to be in and we're all going to be 1238 00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:39,600 Speaker 18: in in the future. But it's really important that individuals 1239 00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:42,800 Speaker 18: when they leave university have the knowledge and the skills 1240 00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:46,560 Speaker 18: regardless of AI that you know, and it's really important 1241 00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:47,600 Speaker 18: that we don't lose. 1242 00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:48,920 Speaker 3: That in thinking about the act. 1243 00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:50,280 Speaker 18: That really worries me. 1244 00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:52,680 Speaker 2: It may be something close to an existential crisis for 1245 00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,000 Speaker 2: our universities. Actually, I guys will take a break, come 1246 00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:55,880 Speaker 2: back shortly quarter. 1247 00:58:55,800 --> 00:59:00,240 Speaker 1: Two the huddle with New Zealand Southby's International Realty, the 1248 00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,520 Speaker 1: global leader in luxury real estate. 1249 00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:04,960 Speaker 2: Right, you're back of the huddle, Craig really and Nick 1250 00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,320 Speaker 2: leagez Right, I'm going to start with you Craig, because 1251 00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:08,880 Speaker 2: I know Nick is going to give us a spray 1252 00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:11,320 Speaker 2: on this four year terms yes or no. 1253 00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:16,080 Speaker 18: It's a yes from me. It's the other center. It 1254 00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:19,320 Speaker 18: really is having worked in government, having worked in opposition, 1255 00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:23,120 Speaker 18: three years is just too short. By the time you 1256 00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:25,160 Speaker 18: get an election out of the way, by the time 1257 00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:29,120 Speaker 18: you get through coalition negotiations, you basically have eighteen months 1258 00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:32,720 Speaker 18: of governing the country. In the real world, it doesn't 1259 00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:34,440 Speaker 18: lead to good long term government. 1260 00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:38,000 Speaker 2: With Craig, with or without Safeguard's extra checks though, oh. 1261 00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:41,920 Speaker 18: No, absolutely according't you know. We absolutely need more safeguards. 1262 00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:47,240 Speaker 18: We absolutely need more opportunities to hold ministers, so I 1263 00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:49,160 Speaker 18: would spend more time in the House. We have a 1264 00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:53,520 Speaker 18: really good select committee process, but we ignore the results 1265 00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:57,280 Speaker 18: of too many select committee processes. We don't spend long 1266 00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:01,280 Speaker 18: enough debating bills and look at them properly in the House, 1267 01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:04,960 Speaker 18: and we use urgency far too often. Both parties have 1268 01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:07,960 Speaker 18: used urgency far too often. So I think we need 1269 01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:10,040 Speaker 18: to If you're going to have a four year term, 1270 01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:12,040 Speaker 18: you're going to have to slow the house down and 1271 01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:16,040 Speaker 18: make better laws. But it's it's so. I think it 1272 01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:18,919 Speaker 18: would provide so much more stable government, and it would 1273 01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:22,320 Speaker 18: provide much better planning for delivering the infrastructure and the 1274 01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:22,960 Speaker 18: things we all need. 1275 01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:25,360 Speaker 2: Okay, now, Nick, I think that probably is what you think. 1276 01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:28,600 Speaker 22: Yes, well, I was going to say, I don't need 1277 01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:33,200 Speaker 22: to speak. Craig has said everything that that I believe 1278 01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:36,480 Speaker 22: on the subject. Look, either, I know that you've had 1279 01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:39,240 Speaker 22: a go at it, and I understand your reasons why. 1280 01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:42,800 Speaker 22: But if New Zealand wants different results, if we want 1281 01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,680 Speaker 22: to be more productive, if we want to get better 1282 01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:48,920 Speaker 22: value out of our public services and our infrastructure, we've 1283 01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:52,600 Speaker 22: got to do some things differently. And giving a governing 1284 01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:57,600 Speaker 22: party or parties longer periods to actually get their policy 1285 01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:01,240 Speaker 22: agenda through and make things work. Seems to me to 1286 01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:06,360 Speaker 22: be a pretty good attempt at doing that. And why 1287 01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:09,680 Speaker 22: is this country? You know, we talk about your program 1288 01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:12,520 Speaker 22: every day. You talk about things that are wrong, and 1289 01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:14,880 Speaker 22: I agree with you on much of it. But here's 1290 01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:17,720 Speaker 22: the way. Here's an actual solution that might improve the 1291 01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:21,800 Speaker 22: way we govern. And yes, like Craig, I think urgency 1292 01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,120 Speaker 22: is used far too often. We've got to have a 1293 01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:27,200 Speaker 22: much higher bar. We've got a strength in our select 1294 01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:31,440 Speaker 22: committees so they actually properly scrutinize and listened to when 1295 01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:35,560 Speaker 22: they do scrutinize and come up with amendments to legislation. 1296 01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:39,920 Speaker 22: And we've got to allow parties to actually get an 1297 01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:45,480 Speaker 22: agenda lodged and humming at the moment. And I take 1298 01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:48,280 Speaker 22: your point. You don't get to change a four year 1299 01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:50,760 Speaker 22: term it. You've got to wait to vote the party out. 1300 01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:53,240 Speaker 22: But also you get to see the cut of their 1301 01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:57,160 Speaker 22: jib and you might give them a second term left 1302 01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:57,480 Speaker 22: oft them. 1303 01:01:57,800 --> 01:01:59,400 Speaker 2: Here's the thing though, Look I don't mind it, but 1304 01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:02,080 Speaker 2: all we talk about, well I do mind it. Without 1305 01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:04,480 Speaker 2: the safeguards. All we're talking about is a four year term. 1306 01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,160 Speaker 2: But no one because it's not sexy to talk about 1307 01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:08,680 Speaker 2: all the other stuff that you need to do, like 1308 01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:10,640 Speaker 2: the changes you need to do at Select Committee. And 1309 01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:13,920 Speaker 2: but that's so fundamental. And so do you think that 1310 01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:15,560 Speaker 2: if we went to a referendum and we were like 1311 01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:17,720 Speaker 2: New Zealand, do you want a four year term? Would 1312 01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:19,880 Speaker 2: we also have all of that stuff baked in so 1313 01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:21,320 Speaker 2: that we could know that it would be safe. 1314 01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:25,240 Speaker 22: Well, I think there needs to be a political consensus 1315 01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:30,000 Speaker 22: around that, and in a sense we have to safeguard 1316 01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:33,880 Speaker 22: those things that go along with it because and I 1317 01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:35,640 Speaker 22: don't know how you're sabbath that. I mean, I don't 1318 01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:40,640 Speaker 22: want to see that question on the referendum voting paper. 1319 01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:42,640 Speaker 22: But we do have to have it baked in, don't we. 1320 01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:45,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, we totally totally do, really quickly. What do you think, 1321 01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:48,320 Speaker 2: Craig about the TV and Z payoffering? You like this idea? 1322 01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:53,000 Speaker 18: I haven't really seen it as the pad TV offer. 1323 01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:53,919 Speaker 4: I don't. 1324 01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:56,880 Speaker 18: I'm not a big fan of peds TV, particularly for 1325 01:02:57,560 --> 01:02:59,720 Speaker 18: where there's big sporting events. It's one of the few 1326 01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:03,600 Speaker 18: times the country can actually get together and free. 1327 01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:04,480 Speaker 2: Do you like football? 1328 01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:07,320 Speaker 18: By the way, I'm not actually a big giant fun 1329 01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:11,240 Speaker 18: of sport generally, but in terms of really, I'm not 1330 01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:14,600 Speaker 18: as a new customer needed fun, you know, it's just 1331 01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:16,360 Speaker 18: a permanent exercise and disappointment. 1332 01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:20,360 Speaker 17: But in terms of the in terms of the in 1333 01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:21,360 Speaker 17: terms of what I think. 1334 01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:23,800 Speaker 18: The more opportunities we can actually use TV in the 1335 01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,760 Speaker 18: media to actually come together rather than making an excusive 1336 01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:30,000 Speaker 18: and holding and stopping some people from viewing it, that 1337 01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:32,240 Speaker 18: to me is a much better way than than actually, 1338 01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:33,920 Speaker 18: you know, putting up tea walls. 1339 01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,840 Speaker 22: What about you, neck, Well, I think if the if 1340 01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:41,360 Speaker 22: the underlying TV channel is no longer financial, you've got 1341 01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:44,080 Speaker 22: to look at ways to generate revenue to keep it going. 1342 01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:47,920 Speaker 22: But I agree with Craig's sentiment actually in terms of 1343 01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:51,680 Speaker 22: we do need free to wear big sporting matches available 1344 01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:55,560 Speaker 22: for everybody, but actually we've also got to have you know, 1345 01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:59,840 Speaker 22: we know that our current media structures are waning in place, 1346 01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:02,320 Speaker 22: than we need to look their ways to keep them going. 1347 01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:05,800 Speaker 22: And that does mean revenue generation for these sort of things. 1348 01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:07,320 Speaker 22: So it might be a reality. 1349 01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:07,720 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1350 01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:09,720 Speaker 2: I mean, the thing is the all whites games are free, 1351 01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:11,160 Speaker 2: so we'll have our games. I don't know if i'd 1352 01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:13,160 Speaker 2: call them big, but we will have them guys. Thank you, 1353 01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:15,840 Speaker 2: Craig Rennie Nick Leggett. I'll huddle this evening eight away 1354 01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:16,200 Speaker 2: from six. 1355 01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:20,680 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Dupless Allen Drive Full Show podcast on 1356 01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:23,880 Speaker 1: my Heart Radio powered by News TALKSB. 1357 01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:27,600 Speaker 2: Hither I use AI to describe photos for me because 1358 01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:30,240 Speaker 2: I'm blind. That's quite a good way of using it, Heather. 1359 01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:32,520 Speaker 2: Doesn't this just show that these types of jobs will 1360 01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:34,840 Speaker 2: be obsolete soon? With AI? Teach the kids to be 1361 01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:38,080 Speaker 2: tradees or Sparky's or engineers, as these will be the 1362 01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:41,160 Speaker 2: people that actually build something that the AI uses. Thoughts, Well, 1363 01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:43,760 Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? I think we all 1364 01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:45,360 Speaker 2: need to accept that there will be jobs that will 1365 01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:48,440 Speaker 2: be will become non existent or simply you won't need 1366 01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:50,640 Speaker 2: as many people to be doing things right you simply 1367 01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:52,920 Speaker 2: what like, for example, think about do you use olive? 1368 01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:56,640 Speaker 2: I love olive Olive? Do you use olive? Olive? Oliver 1369 01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:59,640 Speaker 2: is the chat assistant with Woolworths. So when you get 1370 01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:02,600 Speaker 2: your you order your grocery. I love all Worth order 1371 01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:05,080 Speaker 2: my groceries online and then they deliver it to my 1372 01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:07,160 Speaker 2: door and then they've forgotten to put the beer in 1373 01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:09,800 Speaker 2: because somebody's not I don't know why. But they didn't, 1374 01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:12,080 Speaker 2: and so I just talked to Olive us just like, oh, 1375 01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:15,280 Speaker 2: head up, Olive. I was like, Olivia didn't need a refund. 1376 01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:17,200 Speaker 2: And then Olive prompts you, it's like, what's the name, 1377 01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:19,000 Speaker 2: what's your number? But not even put that in? What's 1378 01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:21,360 Speaker 2: your emailogies? Put that in? What number? What on the 1379 01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:23,960 Speaker 2: in voice? You put that in? How many didn't you 1380 01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:26,800 Speaker 2: get one? And you're done and you don't have to 1381 01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:29,120 Speaker 2: talk to anybody. That's somebody's job olives taken because there 1382 01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:30,680 Speaker 2: would have been somebody before who would have answered the 1383 01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:32,720 Speaker 2: phone and done that. So absolutely there'll be jobs that 1384 01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:34,919 Speaker 2: are gone, right, but I think most of our jobs 1385 01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:37,200 Speaker 2: will still exist. The vast majority of our jobs will 1386 01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:39,160 Speaker 2: still exist. We'll just have fewer of them. But it's 1387 01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:41,520 Speaker 2: probably not a bad idea to be training the kids. 1388 01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:43,560 Speaker 2: The kids be doing the old hands on stuff, you know, 1389 01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:46,920 Speaker 2: because AI is hardly going to be doing your electrical 1390 01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:48,880 Speaker 2: work for a little while. And by the way, did 1391 01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:51,680 Speaker 2: you see the bruise on Donald Trump's hand, Because there's 1392 01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:53,440 Speaker 2: been a bruise on Donald Trump's hand for a week while, 1393 01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:55,320 Speaker 2: but it's now massive. Should go and have a look. 1394 01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:58,280 Speaker 2: That's an enormous bruise. They this was seen at the 1395 01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:01,920 Speaker 2: Executive Ordering Order sign on Monday and then later in 1396 01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:03,800 Speaker 2: the day with the meeting of the South Korean President. 1397 01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:06,480 Speaker 2: They're still putting it down to the aspirins and the handshaking, 1398 01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:09,080 Speaker 2: and maybe it works. I don't really I haven't. I 1399 01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:10,880 Speaker 2: haven't been on the aspirins. I haven't done that many 1400 01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:13,440 Speaker 2: handshakes and none of us have, so maybe it's plausible. 1401 01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:15,480 Speaker 2: I don't know, but it does look rather large. Now, 1402 01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:17,960 Speaker 2: just really quickly, can I just say I'm very disappointed 1403 01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:20,720 Speaker 2: in Auckland Council because I thought Auckland Council was doing 1404 01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:23,920 Speaker 2: an okay job managing the money because their rates rises 1405 01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:25,760 Speaker 2: were so low. It was like five point eight percent 1406 01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:28,960 Speaker 2: or something ridiculously low. But Auckland Council has been busted 1407 01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:32,040 Speaker 2: being just as frivolous as Tory in Wellington. They have 1408 01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:34,400 Speaker 2: pot up about a quarter of a million dollars worth 1409 01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:37,560 Speaker 2: of fairy lights at Silo Park. How do you spend 1410 01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:41,360 Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty thousand dollars on fairy lights? What 1411 01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:43,560 Speaker 2: are you doing? Anyway? Well, we all need to go 1412 01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:45,680 Speaker 2: down to Silo Park and Auckland now go and gaze 1413 01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:47,120 Speaker 2: at it because geez were paid a lot for it. 1414 01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:48,640 Speaker 2: Do you know how many people paid? Do you know 1415 01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:52,960 Speaker 2: how many households? How many households rates were used to 1416 01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:57,720 Speaker 2: pay for those fairy lights? Sixty That's ridiculous, isn't it. Disappointed? 1417 01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:01,000 Speaker 2: Disappointed in New Auckland Council sort it out.

The company which owns The Herald, and of 1432 01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:48,240 Speaker 2: course ourselves in the newstalk ZEDB made a four hundred 1433 01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:50,520 Speaker 2: thousand dollars loss for the first half year half of 1434 01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:52,800 Speaker 2: the year, down from one point nine million dollar profit 1435 01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:54,760 Speaker 2: in the previous year. It was the one off costs 1436 01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:57,360 Speaker 2: of just over five million dollars that drag the results 1437 01:07:57,400 --> 01:08:00,000 Speaker 2: into the red. Michael Bogs is the chief executive High 1438 01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:03,440 Speaker 2: Good Afternoons, So if you take out the one offs, 1439 01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:05,960 Speaker 2: then Insig's actually been doing really well at a time 1440 01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:08,000 Speaker 2: when I can't think of any other media company that 1441 01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:10,640 Speaker 2: has been doing well. How are you doing it well? 1442 01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:12,640 Speaker 10: I think you're exactly right. You know, we're really pleased 1443 01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:15,160 Speaker 10: from an underlying perspective to have delivered a really strong 1444 01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:18,680 Speaker 10: result Ebit Dhara improvement year on year, and it is 1445 01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:22,040 Speaker 10: a tough economic environment. The good news is we are 1446 01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:25,680 Speaker 10: seeing some of the large businesses back advertising again, so 1447 01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:28,280 Speaker 10: they're going, actually, we want to start spending on brand again. 1448 01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:31,320 Speaker 10: It's the small business, small medium businesses that really are 1449 01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:31,920 Speaker 10: doing it tough. 1450 01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:33,800 Speaker 2: So why are the big guys doing okay? 1451 01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:35,680 Speaker 10: I think they're just getting ahead of it. They can 1452 01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:37,920 Speaker 10: see that things will get better. They're like they've got 1453 01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:41,479 Speaker 10: the bigger budgets and they've really come into radio and 1454 01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:43,519 Speaker 10: into print, which has been really good to. 1455 01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:45,360 Speaker 2: See do you think they're right? Are we through the 1456 01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:45,800 Speaker 2: worst of it? 1457 01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:48,080 Speaker 10: Well, if you listen to the commentators, even in the 1458 01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:51,120 Speaker 10: last couple of days, seems to be people are seeing 1459 01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:54,560 Speaker 10: green shoots. But sadly, I've been saying that for the 1460 01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:56,720 Speaker 10: last year and every one of our results announcements. So 1461 01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:58,479 Speaker 10: in our pack today we did actually. 1462 01:08:58,280 --> 01:08:58,720 Speaker 3: Put it out. 1463 01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:00,360 Speaker 2: How do you know then that this time isn't a 1464 01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:00,880 Speaker 2: full storm? 1465 01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:03,639 Speaker 10: And so this time we've not done any forecast based 1466 01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:06,080 Speaker 10: on green shoots. All of our guidance has been based 1467 01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:08,559 Speaker 10: on the economy as we see it today, and that's 1468 01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:09,800 Speaker 10: an improvement on last year. 1469 01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:13,040 Speaker 2: Okay, what's going on with revenue radio? I see the 1470 01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:13,640 Speaker 2: revenues up. 1471 01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:16,120 Speaker 10: Yes, indeed, so for the first time and some time, 1472 01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:19,960 Speaker 10: we've seen terrestrial radio increasing as well as digital radio increasing. 1473 01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:23,519 Speaker 10: We've seen our overall revenue market share come back to 1474 01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:26,080 Speaker 10: where it has been previously, and we're doing some really 1475 01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:28,560 Speaker 10: neat things around audience. You'll hate to hear this, but 1476 01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:31,040 Speaker 10: you know I heart Country New Zealand. 1477 01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:33,679 Speaker 2: I do hate that at all. Why would I hate 1478 01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:36,680 Speaker 2: I don't know you, no, I know what's going on. 1479 01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:38,519 Speaker 2: You're looking at me and you're going I'm too cool 1480 01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:39,280 Speaker 2: to like country. 1481 01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:39,720 Speaker 12: That was it? 1482 01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:43,680 Speaker 2: Thank you, I appreciate that. Excellent and yet I'm not 1483 01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:45,720 Speaker 2: that cool at all. Now tell me how much did 1484 01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:47,880 Speaker 2: you spend on the lawyers and stuff for fighting off 1485 01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:48,800 Speaker 2: the board takeover bit? 1486 01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:50,720 Speaker 10: Well, it was a small portion of our one off. 1487 01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:52,400 Speaker 10: So you will have seen during the period. 1488 01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:54,040 Speaker 2: Read at the start like it was millions. 1489 01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:56,720 Speaker 10: It's exactly right, that's right. So some people have misreported 1490 01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:59,240 Speaker 10: that today, actually that there was five million dollars of 1491 01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:00,800 Speaker 10: one off. The social with that, I can tell you 1492 01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:03,639 Speaker 10: is less than a million dollars, and it's million dollars 1493 01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:06,479 Speaker 10: we prefer not to spend obviously, So without that five 1494 01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:09,880 Speaker 10: million dollars of one off, which included you know, well, 1495 01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:11,920 Speaker 10: I think you know, it brought some clarity to the 1496 01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:16,160 Speaker 10: business being changed at the board. Our shareholders obviously wanted change, 1497 01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:19,439 Speaker 10: and it's working really well for us today. 1498 01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:22,000 Speaker 2: That the shareholders who are behind that may regret that 1499 01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:24,320 Speaker 2: given that they now realize the cost of it. 1500 01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:26,840 Speaker 10: Oh look, I can't talk for them, because I would. 1501 01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:29,479 Speaker 2: And there's a lot of money to have squandered on 1502 01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:31,800 Speaker 2: something like that. Tell me how this editorial board is 1503 01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:32,200 Speaker 2: going to work. 1504 01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:35,240 Speaker 10: Well, A great news is I think Murray Kirknis, who 1505 01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:38,519 Speaker 10: runs our newsroom here. He's been intimately involved in designing 1506 01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:41,000 Speaker 10: the charter of the editorial Board, as has our board. 1507 01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:44,040 Speaker 10: It reports to the board as in an advisory fashion. 1508 01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:48,400 Speaker 10: It has no executive influence as such. And the great 1509 01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:50,160 Speaker 10: news is that Murray and I are able to be 1510 01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:52,720 Speaker 10: part of those meetings while we don't specifically sit on 1511 01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:54,000 Speaker 10: the board. So I think it's a really good way 1512 01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:55,840 Speaker 10: to bring different perspectives, different voices. 1513 01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:57,479 Speaker 2: I mean, it sounds like can tell me if I'm wrong, 1514 01:10:57,520 --> 01:10:58,920 Speaker 2: But it sounds like what they're going to be doing 1515 01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:02,000 Speaker 2: is basically just listening to the radio, reading the papers, 1516 01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:03,800 Speaker 2: and then coming at you and saying, look, we think 1517 01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:06,599 Speaker 2: that maybe this is not working or that is working. 1518 01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:08,120 Speaker 2: It's kind of informal like that. 1519 01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:10,559 Speaker 10: I think it is. But they'll, I think they'll take 1520 01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:13,320 Speaker 10: a much more long titudor review of what have we 1521 01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:15,360 Speaker 10: been talking about for the last three years, five years, 1522 01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:18,120 Speaker 10: ten years? Are we covering topics good enough? 1523 01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:18,599 Speaker 6: Right? 1524 01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:20,080 Speaker 2: So they may come to you and say, hey, this 1525 01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:21,920 Speaker 2: is a really big issue that you are not covering 1526 01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:23,120 Speaker 2: it all and you should. 1527 01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:24,680 Speaker 10: Be absolutely And you know, I think it can be 1528 01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:26,720 Speaker 10: quite easy at times. Sometimes we can be focused on 1529 01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:28,559 Speaker 10: the here and now. So if you've got some people 1530 01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:31,080 Speaker 10: standing back with a little more time coming and giving advice, 1531 01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:32,160 Speaker 10: so I think that's really helpful. 1532 01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:33,920 Speaker 2: Is this a political leaning thing? 1533 01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:35,000 Speaker 3: Absolutely not. 1534 01:11:35,479 --> 01:11:36,880 Speaker 10: The Charter and I'm not sure if you had a 1535 01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:39,280 Speaker 10: chance to read it says it must be from diverse 1536 01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:42,200 Speaker 10: backgrounds and that's political spectrum as well. 1537 01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:44,920 Speaker 2: What I mean is is it possible that for a 1538 01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:47,880 Speaker 2: long time, I think the criticism has been fair that 1539 01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:50,160 Speaker 2: many media outlets, and I'm not going to name anybody, 1540 01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:52,559 Speaker 2: but that many media outlets have allowed themselves to become 1541 01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:55,720 Speaker 2: perhaps overly caught up in what we would consider to 1542 01:11:55,760 --> 01:12:00,000 Speaker 2: be quite left wing views or woke views. Some would say, 1543 01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:02,360 Speaker 2: is it possible that they will come to you and say, 1544 01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:05,400 Speaker 2: you know, hey, you guys are going down this particular 1545 01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:07,479 Speaker 2: path and that's not a good path to go down, 1546 01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:08,320 Speaker 2: or balance it out. 1547 01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:10,640 Speaker 10: Yeah, I think they could definitely give some perspectives of 1548 01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:13,080 Speaker 10: what we're covering, on what we're not and are we 1549 01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:15,680 Speaker 10: being balanced and everything. But I think the other thing 1550 01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:17,320 Speaker 10: is you will have seen from some of the recent 1551 01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:19,799 Speaker 10: research by Curia that says we are the most balanced 1552 01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:22,160 Speaker 10: of all media, and so that's something we should hold 1553 01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:23,040 Speaker 10: our heads proud with Yeah. 1554 01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:26,760 Speaker 2: Absolutely. Now what about the situation with herold, Now, how's 1555 01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:27,120 Speaker 2: that going? 1556 01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:29,120 Speaker 10: He pleased with it, very pleased with it. So we're 1557 01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:32,520 Speaker 10: seeing really strong take up not only on our own platforms, 1558 01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:36,000 Speaker 10: but certainly externally as well. So obviously on the Herald 1559 01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:38,400 Speaker 10: website you can see it a little harder to see 1560 01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:40,640 Speaker 10: on the Herald app, and we'd like to improve that experience. 1561 01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:41,960 Speaker 2: Actually that's a good point. 1562 01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:44,519 Speaker 10: But we're seeing huge take up on YouTube for example. 1563 01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:46,519 Speaker 10: Are you so many people sitting at home? 1564 01:12:46,600 --> 01:12:48,240 Speaker 2: What are people doing? Are they going back and watching 1565 01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:49,240 Speaker 2: the interviews again. 1566 01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:50,519 Speaker 10: They are, or even watching it live. 1567 01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:53,640 Speaker 2: How many people have you got sitting down over their 1568 01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:55,320 Speaker 2: breakfast watching it on their laptop? 1569 01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:58,559 Speaker 10: I think you would see there would be many, many thousands. 1570 01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:00,719 Speaker 2: Are you being deliver really a bit vague? 1571 01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:00,960 Speaker 3: Yeah? 1572 01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:02,080 Speaker 2: I am confidential? 1573 01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:02,559 Speaker 11: Fair enough? 1574 01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:04,479 Speaker 2: Okay, where are we at? By the way, with the 1575 01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:06,040 Speaker 2: Google and the Facebook guys paying. 1576 01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:07,840 Speaker 10: For news, there's nothing more we're doing at the moment. 1577 01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:08,080 Speaker 18: You know. 1578 01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:10,479 Speaker 10: I think the New Zealand government's very focused on what's 1579 01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:13,639 Speaker 10: happening in Australia and likely to be a fast follower. 1580 01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:17,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll have to first watch what they do. 1581 01:13:17,680 --> 01:13:19,200 Speaker 2: We're not going to do anything until then, and then 1582 01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:20,439 Speaker 2: we might follow them very quickly. 1583 01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:20,960 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 1584 01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:23,559 Speaker 2: Okay, Now, Boxy, tell me when you think everybody's going 1585 01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:25,720 Speaker 2: to feel better about the economy. Like it's one thing 1586 01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:29,080 Speaker 2: to talk about green shoots and and things turning around 1587 01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:31,040 Speaker 2: in the big advertisers coming in, but what about the 1588 01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:33,280 Speaker 2: average guy out there? When is he going to feel better? 1589 01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:35,840 Speaker 10: Maybe you you get more commentators in here than I 1590 01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:37,880 Speaker 10: do every day to talk about that. You know, we've 1591 01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:39,920 Speaker 10: been playing a part of our role in the last 1592 01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:42,240 Speaker 10: few months. We've written over or just under sorry, five 1593 01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:45,479 Speaker 10: hundred stories titled on the app trying to tell good 1594 01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:47,320 Speaker 10: news stories about what's happening in business. 1595 01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:48,400 Speaker 18: Is it working? 1596 01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:51,360 Speaker 10: And I think people are going Actually those are really 1597 01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:54,639 Speaker 10: good stories. We've seen communities engaging in them and people 1598 01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:56,240 Speaker 10: going we just like more of that things. 1599 01:13:56,840 --> 01:13:58,599 Speaker 2: Boxy, it's good to talk to you.

By the way, just on that news out 1602 01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:06,799 Speaker 2: of Australia this afternoon, is that Trump is demanding countries 1603 01:14:06,920 --> 01:14:09,800 Speaker 2: back down on tech regulation or he's going to slap 1604 01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:12,360 Speaker 2: them with big new tariffs. And that is obviously aimed 1605 01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:15,040 Speaker 2: squarely at Australia and what they are up to.

So, Federated farmers like 1632 01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:28,720 Speaker 2: the fact that the Reserve banks having a look at 1633 01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:30,360 Speaker 2: those those bank capital rules. 1634 01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:34,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, exactly. I mean, I think Adrian Or's for 1635 01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:37,560 Speaker 6: Old Adrian, He's right in the firing line at the moment. 1636 01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:37,680 Speaker 4: Isn't he? 1637 01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:40,559 Speaker 6: He was responsible for this one or it certainly happened 1638 01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:44,799 Speaker 6: under his watch that banks had to require enough capital 1639 01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:48,200 Speaker 6: to withstand a one and two hundred year shock. And 1640 01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:51,120 Speaker 6: I guess the double whammy for the likes of the 1641 01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:53,800 Speaker 6: farmers was they had to hold twice The banks had 1642 01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:57,800 Speaker 6: to hold twice as much capital for rural lending as 1643 01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:00,880 Speaker 6: they did for residential on heather. The real irony and 1644 01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:03,879 Speaker 6: that at the moment is Auckland and Wellington house prices 1645 01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:10,759 Speaker 6: fall and probably becoming risky investments compared to farm prices 1646 01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:13,880 Speaker 6: that are going up. So yeah, the Federated Farmer's banking 1647 01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:19,360 Speaker 6: guy Mark Hooper has taken over from Richard McIntyre, both Calcock. 1648 01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:21,200 Speaker 6: He's both done a really good job on this. The 1649 01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:24,559 Speaker 6: FEDS have in fact, and they're glad that they've got 1650 01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:28,000 Speaker 6: this through or it's going to be looked at. Look. 1651 01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:30,799 Speaker 6: I think the biggest surprise for me, Heather, was yesterday 1652 01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:33,360 Speaker 6: morning when the PM was talking to Mike Hosking and 1653 01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:36,680 Speaker 6: he was, you know, putting his ore or putting a 1654 01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:39,720 Speaker 6: spanner in the works. Almost there, And he's on my 1655 01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:42,160 Speaker 6: show tomorrow. I'm going to ask him this. Did he 1656 01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:44,360 Speaker 6: did he overstep the mark? I mean, good on him. 1657 01:16:44,360 --> 01:16:47,400 Speaker 6: I think he's exactly right. But it's meant to be 1658 01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:49,960 Speaker 6: the Reserve Bank's meant to be an independent entity. And 1659 01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:52,840 Speaker 6: maybe the Prime Minister got into their air and shoot 1660 01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:53,439 Speaker 6: at big time. 1661 01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:53,840 Speaker 4: Who knows? 1662 01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:57,200 Speaker 2: Who knows? How good is this price looking now that 1663 01:16:57,280 --> 01:16:58,800 Speaker 2: the Bager Group have settled. 1664 01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:02,360 Speaker 6: What about three point eight four billion, which is a 1665 01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:04,840 Speaker 6: hell of a lot of money. It's now four point 1666 01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:07,760 Speaker 6: to two billion. I heard you talking about it. I 1667 01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:10,479 Speaker 6: think between four and five, Heather. Yeah, so they got 1668 01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:14,840 Speaker 6: the licenses. They agreed on that one. It's great. The 1669 01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:17,920 Speaker 6: Fonterra is still targeting, by the way, a capital return 1670 01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:22,080 Speaker 6: of two dollars per share for the farmer shareholders. So 1671 01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:26,599 Speaker 6: of that four point two billion, three point two billion 1672 01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:30,080 Speaker 6: of it will be a capital distribution, providing, of course, 1673 01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:34,960 Speaker 6: the farmer shareholders vote for it, and turkeys don't vote 1674 01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,080 Speaker 6: for an early Christmas and the fight. That's not a 1675 01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:39,360 Speaker 6: good example, and the farmers will be thinking, I'm calling 1676 01:17:39,439 --> 01:17:42,479 Speaker 6: them turkeys there, but complete, the complete, the opposite. This 1677 01:17:42,640 --> 01:17:45,440 Speaker 6: is Christmas for the farmers. And I know that theoretically 1678 01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:48,400 Speaker 6: some of them are saying, look, we should be keeping 1679 01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:51,120 Speaker 6: our consumer brands. But you'd have to back Miles Hurrel, 1680 01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:54,600 Speaker 6: Peter McBride and the team at Fonterra. They're doing a 1681 01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:57,680 Speaker 6: pretty good job. This three point two billion, A lot 1682 01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:00,760 Speaker 6: of it will go to paying down debt. Remember that 1683 01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:03,320 Speaker 6: even though the shares were trading up to six bucks today, 1684 01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:06,479 Speaker 6: some of those farmers bought shares six or seven or 1685 01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:08,519 Speaker 6: even eight dollars when they picked. So they're going to 1686 01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:10,760 Speaker 6: pay down a bit of debt. But also I think 1687 01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:13,679 Speaker 6: there's a lot of pent up capital expenditure that needs 1688 01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:17,200 Speaker 6: to happen on farms, and I'm talking about replacement tractors, 1689 01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:22,479 Speaker 6: maybe capital fertilizer. You combine that with lower interest rates 1690 01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:27,240 Speaker 6: and better returns, and I think this farming season twenty 1691 01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:28,800 Speaker 6: five twenty six is going. 1692 01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:29,320 Speaker 4: To be a ripper. 1693 01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:31,280 Speaker 2: Have you figured out how much you're going to get? 1694 01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:38,720 Speaker 6: Well, you mean me a dairy farmer. Well, Heather, I'll 1695 01:18:38,760 --> 01:18:41,000 Speaker 6: let you in on a wee secret. I'm in an 1696 01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:46,320 Speaker 6: equity partnershops, so I'm only one vote in six back 1697 01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:48,840 Speaker 6: in the day, and I voted the other way, but 1698 01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:51,360 Speaker 6: you've got to go with majority. We sold our Fonterra 1699 01:18:51,479 --> 01:18:56,080 Speaker 6: shares and we supply Open Country, and honestly, Open Country 1700 01:18:56,120 --> 01:18:59,840 Speaker 6: a very good company to supply as well watertime. 1701 01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:02,920 Speaker 2: Jamie, thank you very much, appreciate it. Jamie mckaye, host 1702 01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:05,840 Speaker 2: of the Country. Hither this is read Michael Boggs. It 1703 01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:08,120 Speaker 2: was on just before, Heather. I agree that editorial is 1704 01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:12,520 Speaker 2: generally fair and balanced at endzied me. However, the cartoonists 1705 01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:16,200 Speaker 2: are very biased. They never send up the left. Now, James, 1706 01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:19,400 Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to agree with you or that. I 1707 01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:21,920 Speaker 2: have been noticing this, and this is not just Enzi 1708 01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:25,840 Speaker 2: me cartoonist, it's actually cartoonists across the board. I've noticed 1709 01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:27,519 Speaker 2: that that every time I look at it, I go, oh, 1710 01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:31,960 Speaker 2: that's some that's an interesting take. It's not always wrong. 1711 01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:33,640 Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's wrong. It just I just look 1712 01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:35,960 Speaker 2: at it and go, it's interesting take. Yeah, where's the 1713 01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:37,559 Speaker 2: other or no, no, no other side. 1714 01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:38,600 Speaker 4: But but. 1715 01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:42,600 Speaker 2: When I say that, you shouldn't trust me on this 1716 01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:46,240 Speaker 2: because I don't look at the cartoons very often anymore, 1717 01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:49,639 Speaker 2: do you? I mean, like, who looks at cartoons nowadays? 1718 01:19:49,640 --> 01:19:52,400 Speaker 2: And I'm asking this genuinely, who actually looks at cartoons nowadays? 1719 01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:56,639 Speaker 2: Only do they even do cartoons on the weekend papers 1720 01:19:56,800 --> 01:19:59,160 Speaker 2: because those are the only papers that the work sends me. Now, 1721 01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:00,920 Speaker 2: I don't get them a y the week they send 1722 01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:02,360 Speaker 2: me the weekend ones to have a look at. I 1723 01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:04,760 Speaker 2: never see a cartoon, and that's because I don't know. 1724 01:20:04,920 --> 01:20:06,439 Speaker 2: Am I not looking for the cartoon? Am I not 1725 01:20:06,520 --> 01:20:09,439 Speaker 2: interested in it? Have the days of cartoons passed by 1726 01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:12,640 Speaker 2: in the digital age? When actually you don't need to 1727 01:20:12,680 --> 01:20:14,720 Speaker 2: look at a drawn picture. You can look at I 1728 01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:17,120 Speaker 2: don't know, the actual picture, like the actual picture of 1729 01:20:17,200 --> 01:20:20,400 Speaker 2: what really happened. Very clever cartoonists, but they are always 1730 01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:23,280 Speaker 2: quite left leaning, aren't they? And maybe maybe a little 1731 01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:25,280 Speaker 2: bit of an anachronism six twenty three. 1732 01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:28,600 Speaker 3: If it's to do with money, it matters to you. 1733 01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:32,639 Speaker 1: The Business Hour where the Heather, duperic Ellen and Mas 1734 01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:37,040 Speaker 1: for Trusted Home Insurance Solutions news talks that'd be hither. 1735 01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:39,320 Speaker 2: The problem with cartoons is we don't have Tremaine Scott 1736 01:20:39,439 --> 01:20:42,400 Speaker 2: and their ilk anymore. Heather, bring back Peter Bromhead. Very 1737 01:20:42,479 --> 01:20:45,840 Speaker 2: clever man, Yeah, nostalgia. By the way, Genesis reported it's 1738 01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:48,639 Speaker 2: profit up twenty nine percent, but the shares fell. Shares 1739 01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:52,479 Speaker 2: felt because the forward outlook is apparently quite disappointing, and 1740 01:20:52,640 --> 01:20:55,320 Speaker 2: it's disappointing because they've used up all their cheap carbon 1741 01:20:55,360 --> 01:20:56,920 Speaker 2: credits and they're gonna have to pay more for carbon, 1742 01:20:57,080 --> 01:20:59,920 Speaker 2: so it eats into the old profits and stuff like that. Also, 1743 01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:02,040 Speaker 2: so the CEO has expressed a hope that the government 1744 01:21:02,080 --> 01:21:04,880 Speaker 2: would resist calls for the four big generated retailers the 1745 01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:07,600 Speaker 2: gentailors to start running their generation and retail arms of 1746 01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:10,599 Speaker 2: separate businesses. I think he'll be okay. So I don't 1747 01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:14,400 Speaker 2: think this government's demonstrated an abbetite to do anything particularly difficult, 1748 01:21:14,479 --> 01:21:16,120 Speaker 2: so he should be fine. Six twenty six. 1749 01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:19,120 Speaker 3: Ever, Duper se Ellen, Okay, here's. 1750 01:21:18,880 --> 01:21:27,479 Speaker 2: Your Showbur's news. Snoop is in trouble. No, he doesn't 1751 01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:29,719 Speaker 2: care because he's a gangster, but he's still in trouble. 1752 01:21:30,120 --> 01:21:32,120 Speaker 2: He said something a little bit of our eyebrow raising. 1753 01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:35,320 Speaker 2: When he was on the It's Giving podcast with his wife, 1754 01:21:35,680 --> 01:21:37,800 Speaker 2: talked a lot about fatherhood and about being a husband, 1755 01:21:37,840 --> 01:21:39,559 Speaker 2: and then he told the story about going to see 1756 01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:42,879 Speaker 2: light Year. Now, light Year is the toy story prequel 1757 01:21:43,160 --> 01:21:44,639 Speaker 2: that came out a couple of years ago, and if 1758 01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:46,880 Speaker 2: you haven't heard of it, that's because it's bad now. 1759 01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:48,720 Speaker 2: He said he went to see it with his grandson 1760 01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:50,920 Speaker 2: and he felt a bit put off because he didn't 1761 01:21:50,960 --> 01:21:52,639 Speaker 2: know that there was going to be a lesbian couple 1762 01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:53,160 Speaker 2: in the film. 1763 01:21:53,479 --> 01:21:57,000 Speaker 3: And she had a baby.

Park it like it's hard, park. 1787 01:22:56,600 --> 01:22:59,839 Speaker 3: It like it's crushing the numbers and getting the results. 1788 01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:03,000 Speaker 1: It's Heather d for Sea Ellen with the Business Hour 1789 01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:07,360 Speaker 1: and MAS for Trusted Home Insurance Solutions news talks. 1790 01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:07,680 Speaker 3: That'd be. 1791 01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:19,160 Speaker 2: But Andy Brady's out of the UK for us in 1792 01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:21,639 Speaker 2: about ten minutes time. By the way, restaurant brands they've 1793 01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:24,080 Speaker 2: reported as well, not great for them. This is the 1794 01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:27,960 Speaker 2: lot that owns KFC normal normally during a recession, you 1795 01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:31,280 Speaker 2: think again, we start eating the old fast food doesn't 1796 01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:34,000 Speaker 2: appear to have happened this time, and normally New Zealand 1797 01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:36,240 Speaker 2: is the most successful market for them, but the sales 1798 01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:39,559 Speaker 2: have been flat, and that's even though they've opened six 1799 01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:41,920 Speaker 2: new stores. In just the last year, same store sales 1800 01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:45,160 Speaker 2: for the same store sales fell three point one percent. 1801 01:23:45,240 --> 01:23:47,759 Speaker 2: They reckon that it'll get better as the economy improves. 1802 01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:50,439 Speaker 2: But yeah, I think that's probably a fair prediction for everybody. 1803 01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:53,120 Speaker 2: Twenty four away from seven now, we've apparently never had 1804 01:23:53,200 --> 01:23:56,679 Speaker 2: more overseas interest in buying New Zealand businesses. A survey 1805 01:23:56,760 --> 01:23:59,400 Speaker 2: of foreign investors by Simpson Gresson has found that forty 1806 01:23:59,479 --> 01:24:02,080 Speaker 2: nine percent them are considering investing in New Zealand next year. 1807 01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:04,920 Speaker 2: That's up from forty percent last year. Not much of 1808 01:24:04,960 --> 01:24:07,640 Speaker 2: a surprise considering we've seen about fifty takeover deals in 1809 01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:10,360 Speaker 2: the last year, including our Vida Sparks, data center, business 1810 01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:13,840 Speaker 2: and event Finder. Matt Goodson is Salt Funds Managements, managing 1811 01:24:13,880 --> 01:24:17,839 Speaker 2: directories with us. Hey, Matt, evening, why are our businesses 1812 01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:18,919 Speaker 2: so popular overseas? 1813 01:24:21,080 --> 01:24:23,200 Speaker 23: I think it's probably not too different to normal. 1814 01:24:23,280 --> 01:24:23,400 Speaker 4: Now. 1815 01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:25,680 Speaker 23: We've seen a lot of takeovers on the insie x, 1816 01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:28,640 Speaker 23: but some of them them have been local and as 1817 01:24:28,720 --> 01:24:30,320 Speaker 23: you say, some of them have gone to offshore. 1818 01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:33,160 Speaker 2: And so it does seem like it's slightly high at 1819 01:24:33,160 --> 01:24:34,680 Speaker 2: the moment, does it not. I mean, apparently we have 1820 01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:37,760 Speaker 2: we have had extra interest at the moment. 1821 01:24:38,720 --> 01:24:38,920 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1822 01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:41,880 Speaker 23: Now, we've certainly lost quite a few companies, especially at 1823 01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:45,320 Speaker 23: the small runes, and I think the tough economy has 1824 01:24:45,360 --> 01:24:49,760 Speaker 23: weighed on valuations there. And it's hard yards if you're 1825 01:24:49,800 --> 01:24:52,679 Speaker 23: not a big company in the indices that the passive 1826 01:24:52,760 --> 01:24:55,720 Speaker 23: funds have to buy. So that has possibly made a 1827 01:24:55,760 --> 01:25:00,280 Speaker 23: few of those smaller companies a bit vulnerable. And something 1828 01:25:00,280 --> 01:25:02,400 Speaker 23: happens all the time. But the burial warriors, there haven't 1829 01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:03,400 Speaker 23: been any new ones list. 1830 01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:03,760 Speaker 4: No. 1831 01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:06,200 Speaker 23: Normally you lose some and then you gain some more. Yeah, 1832 01:25:06,200 --> 01:25:08,120 Speaker 23: but we just haven't been seeing the new ones. 1833 01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:08,479 Speaker 2: Why not? 1834 01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:14,080 Speaker 23: State of the economy. I think it's a global thing 1835 01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:16,920 Speaker 23: as well. A lot of private equity companies are holding 1836 01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:19,000 Speaker 23: on to firms that they would have exited by now. 1837 01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:22,960 Speaker 23: And also the fixed costs have been listed just keep 1838 01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:27,720 Speaker 23: creeping up, the compliance costs, the cut carbon disclosure requirements, 1839 01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:31,160 Speaker 23: et cetera, et cetera. And you know in the typical 1840 01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:33,920 Speaker 23: size for a Kiewe firm. Being a small economy is 1841 01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:36,160 Speaker 23: a bit smaller, so those fixed costs can really weigh 1842 01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:37,400 Speaker 23: on people who are considering it. 1843 01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:39,679 Speaker 2: Is this a case of them needing to send David 1844 01:25:39,720 --> 01:25:41,719 Speaker 2: Seymour and his team and to cut some red tape. 1845 01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:47,000 Speaker 23: I wouldn't do any harm a better economy. It would 1846 01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:50,640 Speaker 23: also help, yeah, And so look, you know, hopefully in 1847 01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:53,160 Speaker 23: the next twelve to eighteen months we will see some 1848 01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:56,800 Speaker 23: new listings, but right now at this minute, there aren't 1849 01:25:56,800 --> 01:25:57,840 Speaker 23: too many that I'm aware of. 1850 01:25:57,960 --> 01:25:59,840 Speaker 21: In the word work is. 1851 01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:02,960 Speaker 2: Part of the reason that the international buyers are interested, 1852 01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:05,799 Speaker 2: because our businesses are actually presenting is quite a bargain 1853 01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:06,240 Speaker 2: at the minute. 1854 01:26:08,600 --> 01:26:12,880 Speaker 23: It's some are, some aren't. If you look at equity 1855 01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:15,640 Speaker 23: markets all around the world, what you see is the 1856 01:26:15,800 --> 01:26:19,120 Speaker 23: largest companies are really high valuations by and large at 1857 01:26:19,160 --> 01:26:21,600 Speaker 23: the moment, but a lot of smaller companies have been 1858 01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:24,519 Speaker 23: left behind, so S and P and the US all 1859 01:26:24,600 --> 01:26:28,639 Speaker 23: time record. But the average company is trading it perfectly 1860 01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:32,000 Speaker 23: bang on its average evaluation. You've seen that about here 1861 01:26:32,040 --> 01:26:34,920 Speaker 23: as well, So you know, I think it's just a 1862 01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:40,040 Speaker 23: case of where people can see an opportunity target whereas 1863 01:26:40,080 --> 01:26:42,759 Speaker 23: some synergies I've been making a move. 1864 01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:44,679 Speaker 2: Now even find it. When we spoke to them earlier 1865 01:26:44,720 --> 01:26:46,720 Speaker 2: about the sales to Ticketek, they said, in order to 1866 01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:49,880 Speaker 2: be able to upsize and go global, they would need 1867 01:26:50,200 --> 01:26:52,120 Speaker 2: the likes of Ticketek to take them there. Why can't 1868 01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:52,919 Speaker 2: they do it themselves? 1869 01:26:56,320 --> 01:26:59,599 Speaker 23: Kiwi companies I have had a long struggle going global. 1870 01:26:59,680 --> 01:27:05,120 Speaker 23: Many've tried, Yeah, not many have succeeded. Capital base, You're 1871 01:27:05,200 --> 01:27:09,439 Speaker 23: up against very deep, deep pocketed competitors, often, oversays, unless 1872 01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:12,360 Speaker 23: what you're doing has a real edge. So in other 1873 01:27:12,520 --> 01:27:18,720 Speaker 23: likes of Zero have succeeded, although chiefly in Australia and 1874 01:27:19,160 --> 01:27:22,479 Speaker 23: still really struggling in the US. But you know a 1875 01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:25,080 Speaker 23: lot of companies have tried and failed. Yeah, Or you 1876 01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:27,519 Speaker 23: really need a technical edge like Fisher and Pipal Healthcare 1877 01:27:27,600 --> 01:27:29,800 Speaker 23: of course, which is probably our poster child. 1878 01:27:30,680 --> 01:27:30,880 Speaker 4: Matt. 1879 01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:32,120 Speaker 2: It's good to talk to you. Thank you so much. 1880 01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:36,120 Speaker 2: Matt Goodson, Salt Funds Management, Managing Director. So some of 1881 01:27:36,200 --> 01:27:38,680 Speaker 2: the numbers behind it is that it seems to be 1882 01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:39,559 Speaker 2: post COVID. 1883 01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:39,760 Speaker 4: Well. 1884 01:27:39,880 --> 01:27:42,000 Speaker 2: Prior to COVID we were doing well, COVID slumped US, 1885 01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:43,800 Speaker 2: and then post COVID we're doing up well again. So 1886 01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:47,040 Speaker 2: in twenty eighteen we had deals worth about eight billion 1887 01:27:47,479 --> 01:27:49,439 Speaker 2: that fell back in twenty nineteen. That'll be when just 1888 01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:52,680 Speaker 2: Sinder started getting a clause into the place. Yes, I 1889 01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:55,720 Speaker 2: was being deliberately mean, I was in despite the text 1890 01:27:55,880 --> 01:27:57,880 Speaker 2: telling me to ease off. I just find I can't. 1891 01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:00,920 Speaker 2: Twenty twenty it fell again, and that's because of COVID. 1892 01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:03,120 Speaker 2: So the deals fell back to about three billion. Then 1893 01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:06,400 Speaker 2: it bounced up again. Twenty twenty one deals hit ten billion, 1894 01:28:06,439 --> 01:28:08,479 Speaker 2: and then foul again fell again. Twenty twenty three it's 1895 01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:10,280 Speaker 2: down to about five billion, and since then it's been 1896 01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:12,519 Speaker 2: going up again. So it's definitely it's definitely on the up, 1897 01:28:12,560 --> 01:28:13,240 Speaker 2: twenty away. 1898 01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:14,920 Speaker 3: From seven due Allen. 1899 01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:16,960 Speaker 2: Now, the Democrats have been told in a memo to 1900 01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:20,760 Speaker 2: stop using woke language. They got this is post. They're 1901 01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:24,439 Speaker 2: loss with Kamala Harris Banks being thrashed by the Orange Boy. 1902 01:28:25,160 --> 01:28:27,320 Speaker 2: They got Third Way in third Way is a center 1903 01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:30,320 Speaker 2: left think tak tank, and third Way has accused the 1904 01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:32,919 Speaker 2: Democrats of using an awful lot of words and phrases 1905 01:28:32,960 --> 01:28:35,519 Speaker 2: no ordinary person would ever dream of saying. They call 1906 01:28:35,600 --> 01:28:39,920 Speaker 2: it therapy speak, and they've given a list of Honestly, 1907 01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:42,360 Speaker 2: I wouldn't know what half of this was if it 1908 01:28:42,479 --> 01:28:45,519 Speaker 2: wasn't that it was explained to me. They've instructed left 1909 01:28:45,560 --> 01:28:51,080 Speaker 2: wing politicians to stop using terms such as inseminated person 1910 01:28:51,960 --> 01:28:56,439 Speaker 2: instead of pregnant woman. That's right. This is nothing sexier 1911 01:28:56,520 --> 01:29:00,360 Speaker 2: than being called an inseminated person. Awesome, You're going to 1912 01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:01,920 Speaker 2: be put out there with the herd, with Daisy the 1913 01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:04,519 Speaker 2: cow in a minute. They've also told them to stop 1914 01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:08,320 Speaker 2: using the phrase chest feeding for obvious reasons. You're numpties, 1915 01:29:08,600 --> 01:29:14,320 Speaker 2: it's breastfeeding. Official policy papers written by Joe Biden's administration 1916 01:29:14,479 --> 01:29:19,679 Speaker 2: referred to justice involved populations as opposed to prisoners. Justice 1917 01:29:19,720 --> 01:29:23,880 Speaker 2: involved populations as opposed to prisoners. Instead of just calling 1918 01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:27,640 Speaker 2: them convicts or ex convicts, they were calling them previously 1919 01:29:27,800 --> 01:29:32,640 Speaker 2: incarcerated individuals. I mean, honestly. Third Way points out that 1920 01:29:32,760 --> 01:29:37,559 Speaker 2: prisoners were regularly described by Democrats as incarcerated people who 1921 01:29:37,640 --> 01:29:42,160 Speaker 2: were suffering from involuntary confinement. That is exactly what is 1922 01:29:42,240 --> 01:29:45,320 Speaker 2: going on. It's called a jail. When it came to race, 1923 01:29:45,439 --> 01:29:49,400 Speaker 2: the papers said that Democrats often used sociology buzzwords such 1924 01:29:49,439 --> 01:29:57,040 Speaker 2: as latin X. My I can't even say this word minratorized. 1925 01:29:58,360 --> 01:29:59,760 Speaker 2: I just have to make sure I've got all the 1926 01:30:00,120 --> 01:30:08,920 Speaker 2: Lisa's hold on minoritized, minoritized, minoritized communities. What is that minoritize? 1927 01:30:08,920 --> 01:30:11,519 Speaker 2: Is it a minority community but it's been minoritized by 1928 01:30:11,560 --> 01:30:12,120 Speaker 2: something else? 1929 01:30:12,560 --> 01:30:12,840 Speaker 4: Does that? 1930 01:30:13,280 --> 01:30:19,639 Speaker 2: Is that a relational thing? Anyway? And intersectionality I tend 1931 01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:26,000 Speaker 2: to agree terms to be avoided included privilege, othering, progressive stack, 1932 01:30:26,160 --> 01:30:30,360 Speaker 2: whatever the hell that is, body shaming, and safe space. 1933 01:30:31,080 --> 01:30:33,640 Speaker 2: So yeah, hopefully things will get better for them in 1934 01:30:33,680 --> 01:30:36,160 Speaker 2: a minute if they stop doing that. Hands up. If 1935 01:30:36,200 --> 01:30:38,200 Speaker 2: you've got a beach house, no, actually, don't put it 1936 01:30:38,240 --> 01:30:40,519 Speaker 2: down immediately, or even a house near the sea. I 1937 01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:42,560 Speaker 2: don't want to know that you've got it, because you 1938 01:30:42,720 --> 01:30:45,160 Speaker 2: might be in trouble. An economist reckons that if you 1939 01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:47,400 Speaker 2: own a host a house in what is known as 1940 01:30:47,439 --> 01:30:51,000 Speaker 2: a hazardous area, your house is probably over value to 1941 01:30:51,040 --> 01:30:53,200 Speaker 2: the tune of about thirty or forty percent. Now, if 1942 01:30:53,240 --> 01:30:55,600 Speaker 2: you own a beach house, that's immediately immediately you go, 1943 01:30:55,760 --> 01:31:00,519 Speaker 2: oh that sucks. I went yay, because I've got my 1944 01:31:00,600 --> 01:31:03,000 Speaker 2: eyes on a beach house, but it's so bloody expensive. 1945 01:31:03,080 --> 01:31:05,720 Speaker 2: I'm only going to get it when I'm definitely at 1946 01:31:05,760 --> 01:31:08,400 Speaker 2: retirement age, and I thought, yeay, if I take forty 1947 01:31:08,400 --> 01:31:11,519 Speaker 2: percent of that, it's almost affordable. But no, probably not anyway. 1948 01:31:11,520 --> 01:31:14,080 Speaker 2: I'll explain why not in a minute. This is Belinda's story. 1949 01:31:14,280 --> 01:31:16,920 Speaker 2: She does research work on climate change risks. She's given 1950 01:31:16,960 --> 01:31:20,040 Speaker 2: a lecture, a Guesst lecture to Treasure recently. Treasury recently, 1951 01:31:20,120 --> 01:31:22,759 Speaker 2: she says houses that are vulnerable to coastal erosional flooding 1952 01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:25,559 Speaker 2: or land slide. So that's basically anything near the sea 1953 01:31:25,840 --> 01:31:28,599 Speaker 2: or anything with a seaview are probably overvalued by about 1954 01:31:28,640 --> 01:31:30,720 Speaker 2: thirty to forty percent because we keep on with the 1955 01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:33,000 Speaker 2: belief that the government will bail people out if something 1956 01:31:33,080 --> 01:31:35,360 Speaker 2: bad happens, which is obviously what we still believe is 1957 01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:37,040 Speaker 2: going to happen. And as long as we do, those 1958 01:31:37,120 --> 01:31:40,680 Speaker 2: property values will continue to be mispriced. So when I 1959 01:31:40,760 --> 01:31:42,719 Speaker 2: read that, I thought, oh yeah, coming from my place. 1960 01:31:42,760 --> 01:31:44,599 Speaker 2: I'm coming from my house. I take forty percent off 1961 01:31:44,640 --> 01:31:47,640 Speaker 2: and then it becomes affordable. But unfortunately, we still are 1962 01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:50,519 Speaker 2: continuing with this right, so we still do the thing 1963 01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:52,640 Speaker 2: where the government is the insurer of last resorts. So 1964 01:31:53,080 --> 01:31:55,320 Speaker 2: as long as we continue with that, my dream beach 1965 01:31:55,400 --> 01:31:58,519 Speaker 2: house is still going to it will stay several several 1966 01:31:58,600 --> 01:32:01,640 Speaker 2: several several several millions, But heads up if you've got 1967 01:32:01,680 --> 01:32:04,200 Speaker 2: a beach house, because it could change on you sixteen 1968 01:32:04,200 --> 01:32:04,840 Speaker 2: away from seven. 1969 01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:08,440 Speaker 3: Whether it's macro microbe or just plain economics. 1970 01:32:08,760 --> 01:32:12,000 Speaker 1: It's all on the Business hours with Heather Duplicy, Ellen 1971 01:32:12,120 --> 01:32:16,440 Speaker 1: Danmes for Trusted Home Insurance Solutions use talks. 1972 01:32:16,160 --> 01:32:18,519 Speaker 2: That'd be Oh, by the way, if you thought that 1973 01:32:18,560 --> 01:32:21,120 Speaker 2: I'm done with you after reading reading you that bit 1974 01:32:21,160 --> 01:32:24,800 Speaker 2: about previously incarcerated persons.

Now the dog 1994 01:33:22,360 --> 01:33:24,680 Speaker 11: days of August are normally when you won't see a 1995 01:33:24,720 --> 01:33:25,840 Speaker 11: politician in Westminster. 1996 01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:27,000 Speaker 3: For love nor money. 1997 01:33:27,439 --> 01:33:30,519 Speaker 11: Nothing will drag them back to the office. And it's 1998 01:33:30,640 --> 01:33:33,880 Speaker 11: quite telling that Forage is coming out today while everyone 1999 01:33:33,960 --> 01:33:37,040 Speaker 11: else is away. He clearly sees it as a political 2000 01:33:37,080 --> 01:33:40,200 Speaker 11: opportunity for him. People have had enough. I mean, I've 2001 01:33:40,280 --> 01:33:42,759 Speaker 11: just driven back from Ireland all the way through Wales 2002 01:33:43,080 --> 01:33:47,160 Speaker 11: as soon as we got into English motorways yesterday. I've 2003 01:33:47,240 --> 01:33:50,439 Speaker 11: only been away ten days. Huge number of England flags, 2004 01:33:50,520 --> 01:33:54,280 Speaker 11: cross of Saint George everywhere. There's been a big upsurge 2005 01:33:54,360 --> 01:33:57,840 Speaker 11: in the last two weeks. Really, people are feeling very 2006 01:33:57,960 --> 01:34:00,280 Speaker 11: patriotic and I think a lot of people but are 2007 01:34:00,320 --> 01:34:03,479 Speaker 11: listening to Farage with him saying let's sort this out. 2008 01:34:04,680 --> 01:34:07,559 Speaker 2: So he does play things quite well. Does this mean 2009 01:34:07,680 --> 01:34:09,920 Speaker 2: what do you think that this means for how they're 2010 01:34:09,960 --> 01:34:12,640 Speaker 2: going to do in central government elections? Potentially? 2011 01:34:13,840 --> 01:34:16,639 Speaker 11: I think Reform will do really well. They're currently polling 2012 01:34:16,680 --> 01:34:21,360 Speaker 11: twenty five twenty six percent. Well, they've got to hold 2013 01:34:21,400 --> 01:34:23,679 Speaker 11: it for four years if he wants to become prime minister. 2014 01:34:23,840 --> 01:34:27,360 Speaker 11: That's the challenge. He's only got three other MPs. Reform 2015 01:34:27,479 --> 01:34:31,040 Speaker 11: is a party of four politicians. But he's not stupid 2016 01:34:31,200 --> 01:34:33,519 Speaker 11: and he knows that there is an appetite for change. 2017 01:34:33,880 --> 01:34:36,880 Speaker 11: People have had enough of Starmar already. It's it's a 2018 01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:40,960 Speaker 11: fascinating time. But look, if he wants to fulfill everything 2019 01:34:41,040 --> 01:34:42,880 Speaker 11: he's trying to do, he will have to take the 2020 01:34:43,080 --> 01:34:45,920 Speaker 11: UK out of the European Court of Human Rights on 2021 01:34:46,080 --> 01:34:46,439 Speaker 11: day one. 2022 01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:48,080 Speaker 2: Does reefs get rolled? 2023 01:34:50,360 --> 01:34:54,040 Speaker 11: This is interesting. Look, she's definitely got this budget coming 2024 01:34:54,120 --> 01:34:57,160 Speaker 11: in autumn, and I think if we don't start seeing 2025 01:34:57,200 --> 01:35:00,360 Speaker 11: some growth, but like you just think the just keep 2026 01:35:00,439 --> 01:35:03,560 Speaker 11: saying growth or we're waiting for growth. The key to 2027 01:35:03,640 --> 01:35:07,080 Speaker 11: Britain not having growth is directly linked to leaving the 2028 01:35:07,160 --> 01:35:10,920 Speaker 11: European Union and breaks it and join the dots up. 2029 01:35:11,160 --> 01:35:14,400 Speaker 11: If you know, we're in a very strange trading time 2030 01:35:14,560 --> 01:35:17,439 Speaker 11: globally now with Trump and tariffs and everything else, and 2031 01:35:17,560 --> 01:35:19,679 Speaker 11: the UK is weaker because it breaksit. 2032 01:35:19,960 --> 01:35:21,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just wonder if I mean the reason I 2033 01:35:21,560 --> 01:35:23,599 Speaker 2: asked you that question is I wonder if Reeves does 2034 01:35:24,240 --> 01:35:27,679 Speaker 2: if Stamach can hold Reeves, and if Reeves gets rolled, 2035 01:35:27,800 --> 01:35:31,760 Speaker 2: isn't that such an obvious sign that everything's imploding. It 2036 01:35:31,880 --> 01:35:33,960 Speaker 2: makes you wonder whether Nigel Farage will really have to 2037 01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:36,560 Speaker 2: hold these numbers four four years or whether they go 2038 01:35:36,600 --> 01:35:36,960 Speaker 2: to the park. 2039 01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:41,000 Speaker 11: I think I think if Reeves gets rolled, Starmer will 2040 01:35:41,080 --> 01:35:43,360 Speaker 11: ultimately have to go as well, because the two were 2041 01:35:43,439 --> 01:35:46,160 Speaker 11: inextricably linked, because he has back to her and you 2042 01:35:46,200 --> 01:35:48,720 Speaker 11: remember the other week when she cried in Parliament and 2043 01:35:48,880 --> 01:35:51,720 Speaker 11: it all looked very awkward. I think the two of 2044 01:35:51,760 --> 01:35:54,120 Speaker 11: them are in it together now. But there is no 2045 01:35:54,280 --> 01:35:57,680 Speaker 11: growth here. We have nine point two million adults not 2046 01:35:57,880 --> 01:36:00,960 Speaker 11: working and not in education or training, nine point two 2047 01:36:01,040 --> 01:36:02,679 Speaker 11: million doing nothing. 2048 01:36:03,040 --> 01:36:05,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's definitely demands for change. Hey, thank you 2049 01:36:05,400 --> 01:36:08,400 Speaker 2: very much and I really appreciate it. Endo Brady, UK 2050 01:36:08,520 --> 01:36:12,000 Speaker 2: correspondent By the way, Yeah, if you listen to Trump, 2051 01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:14,240 Speaker 2: but really, do us sound as if the putin Zelenski 2052 01:36:14,320 --> 01:36:16,840 Speaker 2: meeting is not gonna happen because has language. 2053 01:36:16,840 --> 01:36:17,280 Speaker 6: I mean the man. 2054 01:36:17,400 --> 01:36:19,599 Speaker 2: The man has no poker face. Ah, So you can 2055 01:36:19,680 --> 01:36:22,280 Speaker 2: sort of see how things are going just by by 2056 01:36:22,439 --> 01:36:26,600 Speaker 2: how he's behaving. He says, Putin's dislike of Zelenski is 2057 01:36:26,640 --> 01:36:28,519 Speaker 2: what's holding up the meeting between the two of them. 2058 01:36:28,600 --> 01:36:30,719 Speaker 2: He says he doesn't like him, as in Putin doesn't 2059 01:36:30,760 --> 01:36:33,360 Speaker 2: like Zelenski. I have people I don't like and I 2060 01:36:33,439 --> 01:36:36,360 Speaker 2: don't meet with them as in that's totally fine. So 2061 01:36:36,680 --> 01:36:38,559 Speaker 2: I think you can see this is not going to happen. 2062 01:36:39,320 --> 01:36:41,960 Speaker 2: Just as to whether he takes the slying down or 2063 01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:44,240 Speaker 2: gets crossed with Putin doesn't sound like he's terribly cross 2064 01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:46,880 Speaker 2: does it. Nine away from seven it's the. 2065 01:36:46,960 --> 01:36:51,000 Speaker 1: Heather Toople see Allan Drive Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio 2066 01:36:51,240 --> 01:36:52,679 Speaker 1: powered by news dog Zebbi. 2067 01:36:54,520 --> 01:36:56,120 Speaker 2: All right, are you ready for us? Because we're not 2068 01:36:56,160 --> 01:36:59,280 Speaker 2: finished with stupid things? Six away from seven, So there 2069 01:36:59,360 --> 01:37:01,320 Speaker 2: is a piece that up on the news websites here 2070 01:37:01,360 --> 01:37:03,880 Speaker 2: in New Zealand today telling you that kids must floss 2071 01:37:03,880 --> 01:37:06,320 Speaker 2: their teeth. How young. Oh, we know kids should los 2072 01:37:06,400 --> 01:37:08,000 Speaker 2: the teth. Everybody should have lost their teeth. But there's 2073 01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:10,880 Speaker 2: a reasonable age which kids, you know, which age you 2074 01:37:10,920 --> 01:37:13,200 Speaker 2: start flossing at kid's teeth, like a kid should be 2075 01:37:13,240 --> 01:37:16,200 Speaker 2: able to dress themselves from the age of about three 2076 01:37:16,240 --> 01:37:18,720 Speaker 2: and a half, right, and a kid should you know, 2077 01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:20,920 Speaker 2: do we we standing up in the toilet from the 2078 01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:24,599 Speaker 2: age of two and a half three there's a reasonable age. 2079 01:37:24,800 --> 01:37:27,360 Speaker 2: So from what age should a child floss their teeth? 2080 01:37:28,479 --> 01:37:31,600 Speaker 2: Six months? From the age of six months. Children need 2081 01:37:31,680 --> 01:37:33,920 Speaker 2: to floss their teeth at the point at which teeth 2082 01:37:33,920 --> 01:37:36,320 Speaker 2: are upped and touch each other, and you must do 2083 01:37:36,439 --> 01:37:39,599 Speaker 2: it or you're ruining your child's chances at life. Let 2084 01:37:39,640 --> 01:37:42,600 Speaker 2: me quote. You may think flossing is not worth the 2085 01:37:42,680 --> 01:37:45,240 Speaker 2: time or the trouble, especially for younger children who'll lose 2086 01:37:45,280 --> 01:37:47,800 Speaker 2: their baby teeth in a few years. Anyway, However, baby 2087 01:37:47,840 --> 01:37:50,640 Speaker 2: teeth play a vice will role in how children's joelbones 2088 01:37:50,720 --> 01:37:53,400 Speaker 2: develop and how their faces appear. If you don't floss them, 2089 01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:56,519 Speaker 2: they're going to be ugly and losing baby teeth early 2090 01:37:56,720 --> 01:38:00,439 Speaker 2: due to the dentil decay that can arise from not flossing. 2091 01:38:00,760 --> 01:38:03,639 Speaker 2: Can have several effects as a child that can change 2092 01:38:03,680 --> 01:38:06,559 Speaker 2: their speech and appearance. These can affect a child's self 2093 01:38:06,680 --> 01:38:09,040 Speaker 2: esteem and impact their well being depending on their age. 2094 01:38:09,479 --> 01:38:11,640 Speaker 2: Losing baby teeth early can also affect them as a 2095 01:38:11,680 --> 01:38:14,320 Speaker 2: teenager or an adult.
