1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: New Zealand's home for trusted news and views, the mic 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: Hosking for Expert with Rangrover leading by example news. 3 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,320 Speaker 2: Togstead Boy was today of the meeting I were in Washington. 4 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 2: The building changes and what they actually mean and when 5 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 2: they actually start. Got some insight from a couple of 6 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 2: company results and what they tell us about our socled 7 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 2: economic recovery. Ryan would another one of these young kiwee 8 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 2: rock stars from Supercows with us after right Catherine Field 9 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 2: and France Ron Lidtle is in Great Britain. Prosky, Welcome 10 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 2: to the day, fourteen past six. Do you note the 11 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 2: irony of the course from Auckland to Wellington for Wellington 12 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 2: to do something to help Auckland. This all started the 13 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 2: other day when the employment stats came out. They were 14 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 2: not as bad as figured, of course, if you remember, 15 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 2: five point two percent instead of the expected five point three. 16 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 2: Auckland though in a basket case all of its own 17 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 2: six point one massive increase, worst of any region. So 18 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 2: the Maya wants a bed tax. The head of the 19 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 2: Chamber of Commerce wants central government help, which was part 20 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 2: of the irony because the head of the Chamber of 21 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 2: Commerce used to run the party that currently runs the country, 22 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 2: of course, and the beleague at heart of the city folk. 23 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 2: They want central government help as well. Part of the 24 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 2: reason Auckland has ended up in the state it has 25 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 2: is because the people who run Auckland have overseen one 26 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 2: of the most destructive periods of isolationism. I've witnessed in 27 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 2: my lifetime. I've been given while I've been lucky enough 28 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,759 Speaker 2: to live in four main centers. I come from christ Church. 29 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 2: I see what a city on its knees can do. 30 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 2: I mean, yes, with the help of central government. But 31 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 2: then what got them on their knees wasn't Wellington's faulter 32 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 2: indeed anyone. Wellington is in similar shape to Auckland, hit 33 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 2: a little harder, I guess by the public service knife 34 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 2: last year. But you can hardly call the local council 35 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 2: cutting edge. You're organized, or professional or forward looking. It's 36 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 2: a dysfunctional mess, which makes auld kind of a unique 37 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: I suppose. I mean the council don't fight like Wellington, 38 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,839 Speaker 2: or if they do, they keep it on the delo. 39 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 2: But the artworkings of their ideology has seen the biggest 40 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 2: cities downtown area basically destroyed. Auckland is a pre planned 41 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 2: disaster between the cones, the lanes for anything but cars, 42 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 2: the lack of parking, the resulting clog traffic, the lights 43 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 2: that aren't FaZe, the crime, and the closure of the 44 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 2: businesses that couldn't get a customer to the door because 45 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 2: the CRL is years late and billions overdue. All of 46 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 2: it was predictable, though was defended. All of it was 47 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 2: sold as the big, bright new thing and the brilliant tomorrow, 48 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 2: and yet all of it turned out to be a 49 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 2: desert with tumbleweed and an attitude to match. And now 50 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 2: having watched it all unfold, they want Wellington's help. They 51 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: hate Wellington unless it comes with a checkbook. You actually 52 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 2: want them to stew in their own mess if it 53 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 2: wasn't for the fact that one and a half million 54 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: of us are also stewing as well, and we didn't 55 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 2: ask for any of it. 56 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: News of the world in ninety six, well. 57 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 2: Lord knows how it's all going to unfold. But here's 58 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 2: what the bloke from Ukraine's after. 59 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 3: He wrote on a social media that Russia could only 60 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 3: be forced into peace through strength, adding Donald's Trump had 61 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 3: that strength. 62 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: As far as NATO goes, this is what they want. 63 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 4: They obviously want the United States involved. The United States 64 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 4: provides certain capabilities that aren't available to anybody else on 65 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 4: the globe, and so that discussion is going to be 66 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 4: a big part of what the Europeans today talk. 67 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 2: Part of the trouble might be, you just can't slice 68 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 2: up territory because you know you want. 69 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 5: It legally through the Ukrainian constitution. They can't see sovereign 70 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 5: territory that the president doesn't have authority, that the net's 71 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 5: got blust which is incredibly important to Ukraine. It holds 72 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 5: around seventy percent of Ukraine's vast mineral resources and wealth. 73 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 2: Whitcarth who pulls a lot of strings, of course, has 74 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 2: an idea of what it looks like we. 75 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 6: Get to real consensus, we're able to come back to 76 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 6: the Russians and push this piece steal forward and get 77 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 6: it done and start. 78 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: The killing Stama. 79 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 7: Well, this is what Damas is hugely impacted. The Ukrainian 80 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 7: see suffered hugely, but it's also to Europe. It's impacted 81 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 7: every single family and community is united King built and 82 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 7: so everybody wants it to end. 83 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 2: Obvious is that what he done. The other thing they're 84 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 2: keeping an eye on. By the way, in the States 85 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 2: at the moment is Erin, which is the big hurricane 86 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 2: of the season. 87 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 8: We may not even get a drop of rain from 88 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 8: this hurricane, but bore, these beaches are going to be battered. 89 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,119 Speaker 9: If you're going to the beach. 90 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 8: The next several days between Jersey and Florida. Here the 91 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 8: lifeguard warnings, just be safe. We don't want anybody to 92 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 8: lose their lives because of the surf and the rip currents. 93 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 2: Finally, new words. This is from Cambridge Dictionary. They're adding 94 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 2: six thousand of them to the language. It's evolving the 95 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 2: old language. Skibbity, skibbity, skimmity, liberity, liberty, No, Delulu tradwife, 96 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 2: roligarchy is my favorite. Skibbity, by the way, means cool 97 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 2: or bad. De Lulu short for delusional. You are delulu 98 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 2: tradewifey surely you know that. And roligarchy is bro and oligarchy. 99 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 2: And that is news of the wo wo in line. 100 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,559 Speaker 2: See where it tell you what's being ignored this morning 101 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 2: because of what's happening in Washington is a I think 102 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 2: they got a piece of deal in the Middle East. 103 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 2: So her master is reported has agreed to the proposal 104 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 2: from the regional mediators, the regional mediators of course, being 105 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 2: Egypt and Guitar, that we've got a cease fire and 106 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: a hostage release.

Now the green shoots have come to 129 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 2: a great, big grinding hole because I'm looking at forty 130 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 2: eight point nine and that's not what it needs to be? 131 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 2: Is it yet? 132 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 10: No? 133 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 11: But I'm not so sure. So busy week this week, 134 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 11: isn't it? My coming is reporting week? Lots on then 135 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 11: you got to you throw in the rbn Z. You 136 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 11: got that Jackson Hole conference towards the end of the week, 137 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 11: Global happening. It's busy time, lots of important stuff to 138 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 11: talk about. Happy days for us, really, isn't it now? 139 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 11: The services sector yes, so Fray, We've got the update 140 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 11: on the manufacturing sector which was a positive freed so 141 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 11: that sector expanding, It was very welcome to see. But 142 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 11: arguably the service sector in New Zealander is you know, 143 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 11: it's bigger, it's a much larger part of GDP the 144 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 11: manufacturing sector. Unfortunately, Yes, the services sector is still in 145 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 11: the doldrums, but look at direction of travel. It's not 146 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 11: as deeply in the doldrums as it was last one. 147 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 2: So the headline number. 148 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 11: Print of forty eight point nine, so it's an improvement 149 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 11: from June of one point three points. Moving in the 150 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 11: right direction. 151 00:06:58,640 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. 152 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 11: I hesitate to point out though, that the long term 153 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 11: average is fifty two point nine. And if you look 154 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 11: back in May, this was at forty four point three, 155 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 11: which was really grim seventeen months since the survey indicated 156 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 11: that these service sector was expanding seventeen months. So it 157 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 11: does point to this a kneemic economy that we've had, 158 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 11: you know, sort of trying to recover from that post 159 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 11: twenty twenty one. 160 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 2: Sugar rust boom. 161 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 11: Look at the SUTHER indexes activity sales forty seven and 162 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 11: a half, new orders unchanged at fifty, but employment and 163 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 11: this is a this is a sad number, forty seven 164 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 11: point one, twenty consecutive months of contraction and that measure. 165 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 11: What's interesting, Mike is that globally the services sector has 166 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 11: been much stronger, So we're out of step on this. 167 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 11: JP Morgan Global Services Sector fifty three point four. However, Mike, 168 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 11: you talked about the green shoots. In the commentary, this 169 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 11: is the BN said Business New Zealand PSI.

Card transactions the PMI, you know, is the 174 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 11: tide turning? 175 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:11,679 Speaker 12: Are we there yet? 176 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 11: Are the green shots there? Well, we're flirting with it, 177 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 11: so we're going to have to next couple of weeks 178 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:18,239 Speaker 11: cross your fingers. 179 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 2: Hopefully we can see more stuff.

I think you're gonna talk to 183 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 11: Contact this morning and then convey to the honey industry. 184 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 11: So good news there, freightways. I guess this is in 185 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 11: support of the sense that the tide is turning so fully. 186 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 11: Results look pretty good. Net profit up twelve point nine percent, 187 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 11: the earnings were up six point three percent, Revenue up 188 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 11: six point six percent to one point three billion, So 189 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 11: those are good numbers. And yes, you recognize the brand 190 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 11: express packages things like New Zealand couriers out at Express, 191 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 11: they've got the refrigerated business Big Chill now as well 192 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 11: does have exposure across the Tasman and relatively stronger economic 193 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 11: conditions over there have helped this result. The result was 194 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 11: very much in line with expectation, maybe a smidge and below, 195 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 11: but you do get this sense that the demand side 196 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 11: of the equation is getting a little better. So they 197 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 11: said a modest improvement in volume over the last six 198 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 11: months and they would expect this build to build momentum 199 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 11: into the twenty twenty six financial years. So that's the 200 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 11: improved network parce of volume growth. So Express packages up 201 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 11: twelve percent, so sort of sort of supporting that Green 202 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 11: shoots there as well. 203 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, and what about a two. I mean they're 204 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 2: not sure to cash are they? 205 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 11: Man a billion dollars on the balance sheet? 206 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 12: Have a look around. 207 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 11: What are the companies have got in New Zealand have 208 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 11: got a billion dollars on the back on the balance sheet, 209 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 11: strong operating result yesterday, Mike. This is their financial year 210 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 11: twenty five, but all the focus was on their deals. 211 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 11: They're buying your Shill's New Zealand processing plant and pok 212 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 11: and over two hundred and eighty two million that's right 213 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 11: next door to the sinile plant, so there are two 214 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 11: plants Pocono at the same time. They've sold Matara Valley 215 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 11: Milk to Open Country Dairy. The first bit, the purchase 216 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 11: that was probably expected. The second bit, second bit was 217 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 11: a little bit less less expected. 218 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 2: I guess. Now. 219 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 11: The thing about these chili plant, Mike is it's registered 220 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 11: to provide China label product into China. So you buy 221 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 11: it and you get the regulatory approval. It creates a 222 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 11: growth runway for a to milk. They're going to invest 223 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 11: further money to plant. They're going to employ one hundred people, 224 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,239 Speaker 11: as I say, one hundred million coming in from Matara. 225 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 11: Assuming they get the regulatory approval for those China label 226 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 11: registrations and the Matara deal goes ahead, they'll return three 227 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 11: hundred million in special dive into shareholders. The market's pretty 228 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 11: happy with a two mic despite that tough market in China. 229 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 11: Share price up twenty three cents yesterday two point six four. 230 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 11: It's sort of climbing its way back.

Of course, 270 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 2: no one in Australias particularly interested. Pole came out thirty 271 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 2: six percent do not believe that recognizing Palestine would affect 272 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 2: the situation in the Middle East. Of course it won't. 273 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 2: Twenty five percent thought it would say they're delusional, but 274 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 2: twenty five percent three yeah, it's a tiny number. Twenty 275 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 2: four percent supported the proposition that Australia should recognize Palestine 276 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 2: at the UN meeting, regardless of who's empower thirty two percent, 277 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 2: so they believe Australia should wait until Hamas has removed. 278 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 2: Twenty four percent said they did not support changing Australia's 279 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,079 Speaker 2: current position for not recognizing Palestine. Labor, but even labor 280 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 2: voters or eavingly split. So when you look at it, 281 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 2: no one's really that interested in it, knowing full well 282 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 2: of course that it's all symbolism six twenty five trending. 283 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: Now with one square house, you're one start for Father's 284 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 1: Day fragrances, so it's recognizable. 285 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 2: You listen to this, would you go, oh, yeah, I 286 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 2: know what this is about. Our old mate Sarah Jessica 287 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 2: Park has been talking to the New York media about 288 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 2: the wrap of and just like that, I watched the 289 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 2: last one as a two party. Finally other day I 290 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 2: watched that. You can't remember when to watch it must 291 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 2: have been last week. Anyway, the series ended, and the 292 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 2: finale has been widely panned, with many saying it will 293 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 2: go down as one of the worst TV endings of 294 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 2: all time, which simply isn't true. That's just bored people 295 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 2: who've got nothing better to do with their lives. It 296 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 2: wasn't great. I mean, don't get me wrong, it wasn't great, 297 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 2: but it's certainly I can name a lot of things 298 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 2: that have been worse on television when you're talking about 299 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 2: all the time. Anyway, she did an interview and she's 300 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 2: asked about people who hate watched the show, and she says, 301 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 2: and this is why we like it. I don't think 302 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 2: I have the constitution to have spent a lot of 303 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 2: time thinking about that. I guess I don't really care, 304 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 2: which is the best way to be. I don't really care. 305 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 2: And the reason I don't care is because it has 306 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 2: been so enormously successful and the connections it's made with 307 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 2: audiences has been very meaningful. The woman realized she wasn't alone, 308 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 2: she was on her own. That's the key line at 309 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 2: the very end, because she's writing a book. If you've 310 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 2: never watched the program, I won't bore you with it. 311 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 2: But anyway, she's writing a book and she comes to 312 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 2: the conclusion once her relationship is ended, and it had 313 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 2: to end because the guy was an idiot, and you 314 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 2: couldn't you couldn't work out why she was with him, 315 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 2: because such a smart woman was with a Dufus And 316 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 2: so in her book, she goes the woman realized she 317 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 2: wasn't alone, she was on her own. I still love her. 318 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 2: I love her more than I love the show. That's 319 00:14:59,160 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 2: probably my thing. 320 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 9: Did you make Kate watch there? Or did she make 321 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 9: you watch? 322 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 13: Oh? 323 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 2: No, Katie loved it.

I think 342 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 13: they've they've done some pretty hard work over the last 343 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 13: couple of years and really neat to see it come 344 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 13: out in a full year result. 345 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 2: Your individual company's careers post Taste, Big Chill, Do they 346 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 2: vary widely in performance at any given time or do 347 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 2: you give them all the same treatment therefore they roll 348 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 2: along the same They. 349 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 13: Can vary a little bit, so Big Chills finding it 350 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 13: a little bit harder at the moment because they deliver 351 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 13: a lot of premium food into restaurants, cafes, hospitality, and 352 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 13: so you're not really seeing that sector recover. So yeah, 353 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 13: they're struggling a little bit more than say New z 354 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 13: In couriers or post haste that are delivering e commerce 355 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 13: and business to business deliveries. 356 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 2: What do I look at in your result and what 357 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 2: does it tell me about the broader New Zealand economy 358 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 2: of anything. 359 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 13: We've got a key measure where we look at all 360 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 13: of our existing customers and we see how well they're trading. 361 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 13: And for the last two and a half years, it's 362 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 13: like we've been riding into a bloody headwind, so they've 363 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 13: been trading down for two and a half years. In 364 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 13: the last six months there's just a sliver of growth 365 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 13: amongst those customers. So that's really the green tinge. I 366 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 13: don't know if it's a shoot, but the green tinge 367 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 13: that we're looking for is those customers just doing a 368 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 13: little bit better. 369 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 2: NBR has got a headline this morning. It says you 370 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 2: are the guide to the start of the New Zealand 371 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 2: economic recovery. Is that fair? 372 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 13: Look, we're a more diversified business these days. About a 373 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 13: third of our revenue and earnings come from Australia. But 374 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 13: if you do look at those courier businesses and the 375 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 13: customers there, there's about fifty thousand business customers, so there's 376 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 13: a pretty good cross section of New Zealand and I 377 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 13: guess we feel just a little bit of a turnaround. 378 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 13: I've been through three recessions of this business and they're 379 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 13: all a little bit different. But I think with this one, yeah, 380 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 13: we might have just broken the back of it. 381 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 2: Good express package volume zero point four compared to Australia's twelve. 382 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 2: Is that just the tale of two countries and economies. 383 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 13: Oh, taiale of two different niches. Really, the business we 384 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 13: have in Australia's picking up a lot of market share, 385 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 13: does a really good job in a niche. Their customers 386 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,239 Speaker 13: are growing really well, which is not really symptomatic over 387 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 13: the Aussie economy. It's just that they've got some customers that. 388 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 14: Are doing a bloody good job. 389 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 13: So yeah, you can't really read New Zealand Australian colomy 390 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 13: into those two numbers. 391 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 2: I get you back here in November December? Do you 392 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 2: tell a more positive story of New Zealand?

Yeah, I think we will, Mike. 396 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 13: I think it'll keep improving from here on out. I'm 397 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 13: not sure it'll be quick. I don't think it'll happen 398 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 13: in a great rush, but I think there'll be a 399 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 13: very very slow sety improvement from here on. 400 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,239 Speaker 2: Great, great stuff.

Catherrin's 453 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 2: good this morning, Catherine, good morning, Mine. What's at stake 454 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 2: for Europe apart from everything. 455 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 18: Pretty much that you've got the wedge being pushed between 456 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 18: Europe and the Americas, which wuld cause Vladimir Putin loves 457 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 18: it would also bring about enormous divisions within the NATO 458 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 18: military alliance. So you've got that at stake, and I 459 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 18: think really just about twenty four hours ago, French President 460 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 18: Emmanuel Macron came out with a statement and said, look 461 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 18: back in nineteen thirty nine, people were saying, what do 462 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,479 Speaker 18: we care about chechos of ourkare, what do we care 463 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 18: about Poland. 464 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 19: It's a long way away. So it does matter. 465 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 18: These things matter, and they matter in more ways and 466 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 18: people's lives then you really want to know about. 467 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 2: So how does this thing on? I've got a million 468 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 2: different questions for you, not least of which is Zelensky 469 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 2: is in no position to agree to anything today. Europe's 470 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,239 Speaker 2: in no position to agree to anything today other than 471 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 2: to make a few nice words. Go back to Europe, 472 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 2: and I assume deal with a whole bunch of parliaments. 473 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 18: Yeah, well, this is what they're saying. In public, they 474 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 18: are saying we are there to as a unified block 475 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 18: to support Zelensky, to stand behind him defend his red lines. 476 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 18: In private, though, Mike, they are saying that they are 477 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 18: there to contain as much as possible Donald Trump and 478 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 18: Vladimir Putin. 479 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 19: That's what they're going there for. 480 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 18: Everything else, Yeah, they could hope to hear that Donald 481 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 18: Trump will give support to possibility of US troops as 482 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 18: part of the security guarantee. Essentially, Mike, they are there 483 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 18: playing for time, trying wherever they can to not let 484 00:22:58,800 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 18: this go too far. 485 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 2: Tell me why this wouldn't happen. They come out of 486 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 2: all of this and Europe, although still backing Ukraine, would go, look, 487 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 2: we put billions into this, give them a little slice 488 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 2: of the right hand side of your country mate. We've 489 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 2: got the security guarantees and let's get on with life. 490 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 2: Why won't that happen. 491 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 18: That won't happen because there are so many other instances 492 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 18: when it has. 493 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 19: Happened and they've just wanted more. 494 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 18: What everyone is saying, and it's not just the Lensky, 495 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 18: it's also NATO member nations are saying, if they give 496 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 18: him that little sliver of Ukraine they given the Dombas, 497 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 18: then that is a springboard for future incursions into Ukrainian territory. 498 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 18: And you just look at areas where the Russia has 499 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 18: had a little slither of land, for example Tresnistia in Moldova, 500 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 18: halfway between you know, Moldova and Ukraine. 501 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 19: Enormous unrest there. It has never been a stable area. 502 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 18: You look at other areas, Georgia in the Causes, You've 503 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 18: got Georgia U You've had Russia invaded there. They've taken 504 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 18: Abhazia at South Assetia. They've also continued to destabilize Georgia. 505 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 18: What they're saying is this is an example of what 506 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 18: happens if you give him just a little sliver of land, 507 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 18: you don't get any peace. 508 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 2: I've just watched the photo opportunity. They're all there now 509 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 2: and they're just doing the little snapshot and they're going 510 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 2: in for a meeting. Is anyone in charge of the Europeans? 511 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 2: Who's the boss there? I mean? Or is it just 512 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 2: a whole lot of voices in the room. 513 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 18: Everyone seems to have divided up the responsibility. 514 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 19: I mean, you look through it. 515 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 18: There are some strange people there. Has understood the Finnish president. 516 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 18: He's there because a they've got a very long border 517 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 18: with Russia and they've had a war against Russia, so they. 518 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 19: Didn't know the Russians very well. 519 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 18: But he has become a bit of a golfing buddy 520 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 18: with Trump, so he's been brought along for that. You've 521 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 18: got Bloni there, the Italian Prime Minister that she's known 522 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 18: as a Trump whisperer, but she's also very big Atlantic, 523 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 18: says she believes in Europe, she believes in the Transatlantic Alliance. 524 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 18: You've also got the UK Prime minister Starmer he's there. 525 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 18: He's got in his pocket that invitation to Trump for 526 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 18: a state visit, which he knows Trump wants. You've got 527 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 18: Macron there, who talks exactly what Donald Trump wants to hear, 528 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,479 Speaker 18: which has been the financial burden of war. And then 529 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 18: of course you've got the German Chancellor Freddie Matz. He 530 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 18: has been very strong. He's been saying, look, even though 531 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 18: the devil is in the. 532 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 19: Detail, let's just remember. 533 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 18: And he told this's remember back in June twenty twenty 534 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 18: five at the G seven when Trump said that it 535 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 18: was wrong that Putin was not part of the G 536 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 18: seven anymore, and Matz came out and publicly said, look, 537 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 18: the G seven is not a format for warlords of 538 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 18: war criminals. So Matz is going to bring that along 539 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 18: his tough talking, and of course he's going to go 540 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 18: back and he's going to be reminding Donald Trump that 541 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 18: his grandfather was born in Germany. So everyone's bringing something 542 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 18: else to the table, and they're hoping. 543 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 2: That that winns the day beentestic into like Catherine Wild 544 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 2: and Catherine Field out of France. This morning, we watch 545 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 2: and we wait to the seventh. 546 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: The nighthosking breakfast with Rain thrown used talks dead beat. 547 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 2: The White House dining room all sitting round the table 548 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 2: and just before they start this is Trump Live. We 549 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 2: got them or not? 550 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 9: Well, thank you very much. 551 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 6: It's a great honor to have you here. Special place, 552 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 6: White House is special no matter where you're from. Represent 553 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 6: so much and it truly is beautiful. And thank you 554 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 6: for all of the wonderful things that took place today. 555 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 6: We've had a very successful day thus far, important discussions 556 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 6: as we work to end the killing and stop the 557 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 6: war in Ukraine. We're all working for the same goal, 558 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 6: very simple goal. We want to stop the killing, get 559 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 6: this settled. I've just had the honor of being with 560 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 6: President Zelenski and all of the discussions that we've had, 561 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 6: we covered a lot of territory and I spoken directly 562 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,959 Speaker 6: with President Putin today. We're gonna call President Putting right 563 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 6: after this meeting. I'm sure we're gonna have a solid meeting, 564 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 6: good meeting, maybe a great meeting. 565 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 2: And so what he's saying, just to bring you up 566 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 2: to speak with all of this. He's met with Zelensky, 567 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 2: he is now about to meet with all the other 568 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 2: European leaders. They've just done the photo opportunities that they 569 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 2: do the press have the meeting, So he did the press, 570 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 2: did the meeting with Zelensky. He's done the press and 571 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 2: is about to have the meeting with the European leaders. 572 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 2: The fact that Zelenski's still there, I guess is a 573 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 2: good thing. And there's a lot of smile, so the 574 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 2: vibe seems reasonable. If they get anything out of that, 575 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 2: they then get putin on the phone and then they 576 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 2: will go from there. So as I'm saying, we watch 577 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 2: him wait five minutes away from seven. 578 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 1: All the inns are the else it's the fizz with 579 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 1: business fiber take your business productivity to the next level. 580 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 2: Sort of the light they've given it is Trump, the 581 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 2: administration of the terrorists. We've got to report this morning 582 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 2: on Fox from the Joint Economic Committee Minority, they say 583 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 2: the tariffs could slash US manufacturing investment buy as much 584 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,880 Speaker 2: as eight hundred and twenty five billion dollars by twenty 585 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 2: twenty nine. So that's not good. That would be a 586 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 2: thirteen percent drop in manufacturing investment. So what's going on here? 587 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 2: As they think businesses can defer or may defer key 588 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 2: investments because of trade uncertainty. So you get neufactories, plants, 589 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 2: production facilities, research development, buying, advanced manufacturing equipment. None of 590 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,719 Speaker 2: it happens because you're going, I don't know what's going on. 591 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 2: The report drew comparisons between tariff ambiguity and brixit and 592 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 2: the UK's experience with that. Numbers are based on projections 593 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 2: from the Congressional Budget Office back in January. Now they 594 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 2: acknowledge those numbers could be slightly out of date because 595 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 2: First Floor and the reporters Wallstree hasn't reacted the way 596 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 2: many people thought. Initially, Wallscrey went what the hell? And 597 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 2: then they've sort of bounced back. It says even if 598 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 2: trade fears were sold immediately, the turmoil businesses face in 599 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 2: just one month, and they look at a month of 600 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 2: April could still lower investment by an average one percent 601 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 2: annually through the twenty twenty nine that's equal to about 602 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 2: forty two point two billion dollars in lost manufacturing spending. 603 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 2: So the whole trade tariff story has yet to fully 604 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 2: play out, because of course it hasn't hit the US 605 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 2: economy full tilt as yet. So back to Washington, Lauren 606 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 2: to Marci is working with Channel nine. She's there, she's 607 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 2: in the room, so she's observing what's going on. So 608 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 2: we'll get the update from her shortly see whether this 609 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 2: goes Chris Pig yesterday, they keep saying things like this 610 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 2: is the biggest change in twenty years. That's really only 611 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 2: applicable because we haven't done anything in twenty years. So 612 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 2: I'm not really sure what he announced yesterday, which is 613 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 2: basically spreading the responsibility for people who build bad buildings. 614 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 2: But then my first question is surely going to be 615 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 2: do we still build bad buildings? Having built so many 616 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 2: bad buildings and had the leaky building fiasco, did we 617 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 2: not learn anything? Therefore we don't build bad buildings, therefore 618 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 2: we don't need the change of roads. I'll ask that question. 619 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 2: And from Supercars, another one of these up and comers, 620 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 2: twenty one year old Ryan Wood is having the season 621 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 2: of his life. Ryan Wood's with us after eight o'clock meantime. 622 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 2: Here's this next on the MIC hosting breaks. 623 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: The Breakfast Show, Kiwi's Trust to Stay in the Know, 624 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: The Mic Hosking Breakfast with A Veda, Retirement, Communities, Life 625 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: Your Way News, togs. 626 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 2: Head be seven past seven. So in a place that 627 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 2: holds a lot of important meetings, today seems bigger than most. 628 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 2: Of course, half of Europe's leaderships at the White House 629 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 2: as we speak, in support of the Ukrainian president. The 630 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 2: plan seems to be a security guarantee from Russia, but 631 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 2: no NATO for Ukraine a chunk of land, and for that, 632 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 2: apparently the war is over. It seems at this point anyway. 633 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 2: They're all sitting around the dining table. It seems at 634 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 2: this point anyway, there will be some sort of trilateral. 635 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 15: We will discuss on the level of leaders during trilateral meeting, 636 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 15: and President Trump will try to organize such meeting. 637 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 19: And he said that he will come or not come. 638 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 19: Ukraine will be. 639 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 15: Happy if if you, if you, if you won't. 640 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 12: Be there, I will be there. Yeah, yeah, thank you. 641 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 9: And I think this is very important. 642 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 2: Okay, So it's good vibe so far. Lauren Tomas his 643 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 2: Channel nine US correspondent. She's at the White House and 644 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 2: is with us. Lauren morning, Good. 645 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 20: Morning to you, Mike. 646 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 2: What's the vibe. 647 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 20: Look, it's been really interesting today because coming in this 648 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 20: we knew that the tone and tenor of this meeting 649 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 20: was going to be so critical for Ukraine, and overall 650 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 20: it has been really warm so far. Vladimir Zelenski arrived 651 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 20: here interestingly he was actually wearing a suit coat, which 652 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 20: may seem inconsequential, but last time he was wearing his 653 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 20: standard military fatigues and that's something Donald Trump took issue with. 654 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 20: And he commented today, the US President, that he was 655 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 20: looking nice. As he got out of the vehicle, they 656 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 20: kind of gave each other a pat on the back 657 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 20: and then went into that Oval Office meeting. And certainly 658 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 20: it was much more friendly inside the Oval Office as 659 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 20: reporters asked questions. But look, one big thing is we're 660 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 20: not looking at a ceasefire now. Donald Trump says he 661 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 20: wants a peace steal and that is much harder to obtain. 662 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 20: And Donald Trump says that the fighting will keep on 663 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 20: going until they obtained that peace deal. 664 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 2: Watching them sit around the dining table at the moment, 665 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 2: this is all playing out the world to see. And 666 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 2: I assume at some point they're going to go behind 667 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 2: closed doors. Zelensky's been behind closed doors. The fact it 668 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 2: still seems friendly, I guess, is a good sign, isn't it. 669 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 17: Yeah. 670 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 20: Really interesting so that they weren't actually inside the Oval 671 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 20: Office alone for that long, perhaps around forty five minutes 672 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 20: or so, And we don't know if Zelensky had the 673 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 20: opportunity to brief his European colleagues and allies ahead of this, 674 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 20: this big meeting with Donald Trump. But certainly it seems 675 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 20: very I don't know how to call it chummy if 676 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 20: you like. I mean. Donald Trump was commenting and saying 677 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 20: that the German Chancellor's tan was looking very good. So 678 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 20: it's a room full of friends, is the appearance today, 679 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 20: and that certainly, you know, it is a good thing 680 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 20: for Europe who has come into this supporting Zelenski because 681 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 20: they know that the security of Ukraine will have ramifications 682 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 20: on Europe. 683 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 2: The tangible out of today must be a trilat, I'm 684 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 2: assuming because none of them is in any position to 685 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 2: make cast iron guarantees have got to go to to 686 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 2: parliaments and countries, don't. 687 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 20: They exactly right, And that's something that Donald Trump appears 688 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 20: to be making progress, or so he says, making progress 689 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 20: on and that's the next big things to come out 690 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 20: of this. But of course then you look back to Alaska. 691 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 20: Donald Trump going into that said the next meeting would 692 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 20: be the important one, and we expected to see that 693 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 20: trilateral meeting faster, and now we don't yet have a date, 694 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 20: a day, a time, a location for the trilateral meeting. 695 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 20: But Donald Trump did say that Vladimir Putin is expecting 696 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 20: his call as his meetings here at the White House 697 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:32,479 Speaker 20: wrap up. 698 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 2: Fantastic, Lauren, appreciate it very much. We'll stay in and touch. 699 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 2: Lauren to MARSI, who's channel lines US correspondent at the 700 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 2: White House this morning, Tim minus past seven. I scared 701 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 2: you have to remind you, get right, they're sitting around 702 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 2: the dining table at the White House at the moment, 703 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 2: it's all in public view, and they're just it's all 704 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 2: it's all hot air at the moment. I mean, there's 705 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 2: going to be some business done behind some closed doors. 706 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 2: And then at the end of that we get the 707 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 2: Putin phone call. I'm assuming they go back to Alaska 708 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 2: for a trilateral though, why wouldn't you They probably hadn't 709 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 2: packed up from the other day. Anyway, We'll keep you 710 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 2: post back home. More change for housing and construction. Couple 711 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 2: of key changes. Councils will no longer be the last 712 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,800 Speaker 2: checkbook standing if things go south, Developers, builders, potentially owners 713 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 2: will carry more of the responsibility. Chris pink as the 714 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 2: Building Construction Ministries with US. Good morning, Moning, Mike, how 715 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,399 Speaker 2: much of this still goes on? How many people are 716 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,240 Speaker 2: building bad buildings that will come back to bite us? Therefore, 717 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,839 Speaker 2: how much do we actually need to change these rules. 718 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 21: There's not a. 719 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,359 Speaker 22: Lot of that activity going on, but we do need 720 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 22: to change the rules, partly because it's the fear of 721 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 22: that in every case that makes the council so risk averse. 722 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 22: So that's a lot that's got to blame for the 723 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 22: delays that we see. So without the Fickture hanging over 724 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,359 Speaker 22: the council, they can get on and do your job 725 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 22: in a way that reflects a proportionate risks that they take. 726 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 2: The proportionate liability that you talked about yesterday, and the 727 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 2: fact it's been in Australia for decades, why haven't we 728 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 2: done it? 729 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 22: I mean a number of people have talked about it 730 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 22: for many years, that all commissions written a couple are 731 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 22: very long and where their reports. I'm not sure how 732 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,360 Speaker 22: many people have reasen but things for me and O 733 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 22: brainer including because they do it over the other side 734 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 22: of the tessment as you say, so are we just 735 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 22: think it's time to get on. 736 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 2: And do it. And how do you work out proportionality? 737 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 2: Because here's the problem. I get consent, I'm starting to build, 738 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 2: the council comes down, the council looks, the council ticks 739 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 2: it off. Turns out to be a crap building. But 740 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 2: the council signed it off. So that's the council's fault, 741 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 2: isn't it. 742 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 22: Yeah, I mean you're failing for you. That case might 743 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,760 Speaker 22: be that it might be fifty percent libel for the 744 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,720 Speaker 22: designer or the architecture and fifty percent for the council. 745 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 2: So I mean, but who would decide that? 746 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,839 Speaker 22: How a court does? A court does so, and they 747 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 22: are portionate all the way through as long as the 748 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 22: number adds up to a hundred percent liability, so that 749 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 22: the homeowner or the other building owner isn't less carrying 750 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 22: in the camp? 751 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 2: Am I on the hook as of the homeowner at 752 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 2: any point? And who decides? And how do we decide that? 753 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 22: Yeah, you're not on the hook because you haven't you know, 754 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 22: you're not to take the blame for the design or 755 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 22: the workmanship. The only question I think we do need 756 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 22: to answer is what the consumer prefection measures are there 757 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 22: fit alongside that, because what we don't want is you 758 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 22: is the homeowner to have work that's done poorly and 759 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 22: do you want to see or have responsible for you know, 760 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 22: it's just been twenty percent whatever for the cost of 761 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,800 Speaker 22: some of the defects by a trade who's up and gone. 762 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 22: And that's why we're looking at our measures like whether 763 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 22: we have professional and given any insurance to be compulsory 764 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:26,479 Speaker 22: for architects and engineers and other insurance and guaranteed games 765 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 22: that already exists. Maybe we sort of lean on those 766 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 22: a bit more. 767 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 2: The other piece of work, the sharing of resources with counsels. 768 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 2: Are they into this? Are they cooperative or are you 769 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 2: going to have to bang heads? 770 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 22: No, they are into it. It's precisely because they have 771 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 22: asked for that. Of the different range of options that 772 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 22: we put to them over the last year, this is 773 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 22: the one that they say, we're ready to go, we 774 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 22: want to do it, we want to share the resources 775 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:50,400 Speaker 22: that helps us out, Please do it. 776 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,919 Speaker 2: And so we are so in totality. Once you've got 777 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 2: all of this in place, and you've got your pink 778 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 2: bats and you're building products and your new paperwork and 779 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 2: your garden sheds and all the stuff you've done, how 780 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 2: much difference do you reckon you've made? 781 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,239 Speaker 22: Well, we think it will make a big difference if 782 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:07,839 Speaker 22: you add all those up. You know, none of them 783 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 22: in itself we would claim as a silver bullet. And actually, 784 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,319 Speaker 22: of course it also goes alongside s freeing up the 785 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,880 Speaker 22: land and the resource management rules that Chris Bishop is leading. 786 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 22: So I think when we do all that, you're definitely 787 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 22: downward pressure of prices in a significant way. 788 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 2: Good stuff. Chris Pink Construction Minister with us. By the way, 789 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 2: related matters sort of our energy system report on that 790 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 2: this morning. We're actually not doing too badly if you 791 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 2: can believe that, I'll work you through that. And ironically 792 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 2: we happened also to be talking to Contact Energy this morning. 793 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 2: Their profits up, it's up forty one percent. So are 794 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,279 Speaker 2: you furious at that? You go, how come they're making 795 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 2: that much money? How come I can't turn my lights 796 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,239 Speaker 2: on on a cold morning, but they're making up forty 797 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,440 Speaker 2: one percent more profit. So we'll go through that as well. 798 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 2: For your fourteen parts. 799 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,440 Speaker 1: The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, Howard 800 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 1: By News talks that'd. 801 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 2: Be camera's about to be turned off in the media, 802 00:37:58,120 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 2: are about to be booted out of the White House 803 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 2: dining room. Then get down to the nitty gritty, so 804 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,359 Speaker 2: we'll keep you posted. Obviously seventeen past seven. A lot 805 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 2: of things going well currently, obviously for operators of the 806 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 2: land in this country. But Honey does have trouble, our 807 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,799 Speaker 2: largest MANUCA supplier, as we told you earlier completed they 808 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 2: were subject to a takeover bid yesterday. We've got apparently 809 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,880 Speaker 2: over supply, inflated prices, global volatility. Now. Karen Costs is 810 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 2: the chief executive of Agriculture in z And as with us. 811 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 2: Karen morning, good morning. Is this a domestic or an 812 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 2: export story or both. 813 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 10: It's a bit of both, and I think it's really 814 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,799 Speaker 10: helpful to give you some context. If I take you 815 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,800 Speaker 10: back to twenty nineteen, we had a recall one million 816 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 10: five Today we're just under five hundred thousand in our register. 817 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:46,680 Speaker 10: Beekeeper numbers were at ten thousand and twenty nineteen now 818 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,360 Speaker 10: about seven thy six hundred. And at the same time, 819 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,760 Speaker 10: we had some really big production years, some honey harvest 820 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:59,240 Speaker 10: year's records, and then unfortunately on the demand side post COVID, 821 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 10: particularly in to our largest markets, for example China, we 822 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,720 Speaker 10: saw some real softening of demand that global uncertainty rarely 823 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 10: impacted on our Manuka honey sales exports and that is 824 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,720 Speaker 10: our largest export of the export honey by far. 825 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 2: Is the retail around plan. 826 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 10: Yes, So I think the key thing is no one 827 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,279 Speaker 10: wants to repeat the mistakes of the past. We're going 828 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,840 Speaker 10: around the country at the moment talking to beekeepers, talking 829 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 10: to exporters and getting a real sense that the contraction 830 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:36,759 Speaker 10: has happened. It's been very painful, it's very difficult, but 831 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 10: it's a good chance to reset. So we developed a 832 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 10: honey strategy. There are certainly components of that that we 833 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 10: want to reinvigorate. But I think he is having a 834 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 10: unified industry, being able to build a sufficient red litary 835 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 10: framework so that we can take a stronger lead and 836 00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,479 Speaker 10: how we self regulate around quality and standards, but also 837 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 10: just looking at better industry coordinations. I look at some 838 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:09,400 Speaker 10: of the other sectors, for primary sectors, they have great data, 839 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,160 Speaker 10: they have great information that can really inform the industry. 840 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 10: We don't have that, So there are lots of things 841 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,920 Speaker 10: that we can do. I will say that there is 842 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 10: an ongoing demand for good quality New Zealand honey, and 843 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,840 Speaker 10: in talking to beekeepers and exporters around the country, I 844 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,400 Speaker 10: do get a sense that honey is moving, which. 845 00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 2: Is great, fantastic. Well, I wish you the very best 846 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 2: with it. We'll stay in touch. Karen cos who's the 847 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,320 Speaker 2: chief executive of Atpiculture News and Ryan Would.

If you follow the Australian restaurants scene, 852 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:46,400 Speaker 2: they do hats. Sydney Morning Herald for the years have 853 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,080 Speaker 2: done hats, so you get a three headed restaurant, two 854 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 2: headed restaurant. Anyway, they held the rewards here last night 855 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 2: and they're starting to do those hats, so that's encouraging. 856 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,320 Speaker 2: We'll talk to the winner later seven twenty. 857 00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, Call 858 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 1: it by NEWSTALKZIP. 859 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 2: Now, if you're a sales leader, you know how important 860 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:08,760 Speaker 2: it is to respond to the request for a proposal, 861 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:10,799 Speaker 2: of course from a potential customer, and you need to 862 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,840 Speaker 2: do that quick, smart and effectively.

If Grant Robinson thinks the 879 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,040 Speaker 2: COVID inquiry is a show trial, then what is about 880 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 2: to unfold at the High Court as of the end 881 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,319 Speaker 2: of this month can't be far behind. We've got a 882 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 2: bunch of unions who are taking the government to court 883 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,319 Speaker 2: over pay equity. Now they're having several stabs. The Bill 884 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,960 Speaker 2: of Rights is in play. Democratic process is up the debate. 885 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,920 Speaker 2: One of the things the unions claim may happen is 886 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 2: if they win is a select committee would have to 887 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,960 Speaker 2: hear submissions and a debate in Parliament would have to 888 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,520 Speaker 2: take place. Oohoo, that's the show trial part. I mean 889 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,960 Speaker 2: select committees here from people you would expect to hear from, 890 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,480 Speaker 2: broadly people opposed to whatever change of the law is 891 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,760 Speaker 2: in play, and a debate in parliament. Here's both sites, 892 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:41,040 Speaker 2: one for one against, with the Government of the day prevailing. 893 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,760 Speaker 2: Given it is they who have the numbers, and indeed 894 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:47,319 Speaker 2: that is why they're the government, which is essentially why 895 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:49,839 Speaker 2: court is a waste of time. Remembering, of course the 896 00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,600 Speaker 2: government is the ultimate court. And if they want to 897 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,600 Speaker 2: pass the law, guess what they can. Making it complicated 898 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,280 Speaker 2: is the whole pay equity calculation. Of course, that's a mess. 899 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,520 Speaker 2: Secondary teachers, for example, were one of the many claimants 900 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,200 Speaker 2: putting in equity claim forward before the law was changed. Now, 901 00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:05,880 Speaker 2: to my eye, correct me if I'm wrong, but to 902 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 2: my eye, being a high school teacher is not an 903 00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 2: equity issue. Men do it. Women do it, lots of them, 904 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,520 Speaker 2: and they aren't paid on gender. It is not a profession. 905 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,760 Speaker 2: We're ninety nine percent of them are women, and because 906 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,520 Speaker 2: the women, they're poorly paid. High school teachers are paid 907 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,920 Speaker 2: actually quite well. You could equally argue they're not paid 908 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,400 Speaker 2: as well as they could be because the union insists 909 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,399 Speaker 2: that they all get paid the same based on time 910 00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,400 Speaker 2: in the classroom. If they got paid on merit, now, 911 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,160 Speaker 2: that would be a whole different world. Christine Bartlett's case 912 00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,360 Speaker 2: became famous because we could all see the care industry 913 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 2: was mainly female and the pay was poor. Now, I 914 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,319 Speaker 2: would still argue the pay was poor because the work, 915 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:43,280 Speaker 2: although kind and worthy, is not of great numerical value. 916 00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,839 Speaker 2: If it was, rest Holmes would pay more, and they 917 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 2: would charge residents more, and we'd all happily fit the bill. 918 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,000 Speaker 2: But we don't want to do that, do we. Anyway? 919 00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,560 Speaker 2: The upshot is the best the unions can hope for 920 00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,799 Speaker 2: is a court win. The wind can then be used 921 00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:58,920 Speaker 2: to beat the government about the head as big bad meanings, 922 00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,359 Speaker 2: but it will still not get them paid under an 923 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 2: equity deal because the court is not the government pasking now, 924 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,239 Speaker 2: which brings us to Judith Collins and this apology that 925 00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,279 Speaker 2: the text alluded to before. So she came on this 926 00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,480 Speaker 2: program last week, and she said one hundred and forty 927 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,279 Speaker 2: seven thousand. A lot of people in contact to me 928 00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,560 Speaker 2: and went, what are you serious, How is this possible? 929 00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,200 Speaker 2: We got the research unit onto it. It is possible. 930 00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:23,480 Speaker 2: She wasn't incorrect. Where she was incorrect and where the 931 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,560 Speaker 2: apology has come is she suggested it was an average. 932 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,880 Speaker 2: It is not an average. You can get to one 933 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,680 Speaker 2: hundred and forty seven, but it is not the average. 934 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 2: Her suggestional inference was that after ten years you get 935 00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,280 Speaker 2: paid one hundred and forty thousand dollars. So the parliament 936 00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,680 Speaker 2: press release came out you could earn up to one 937 00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:41,960 Speaker 2: hundred and forty seven, that the average salary for a 938 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 2: secondary teacher was one hundred That broadly's right. The following morning, 939 00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:48,879 Speaker 2: she said, it was on this program, if you've got 940 00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:52,120 Speaker 2: ten years experience with the normal allowances that would you'd 941 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,560 Speaker 2: be getting. That's one hundred and forty seven thousand a year, 942 00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,239 Speaker 2: and you add in the fact that there's still three 943 00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,120 Speaker 2: months paid leave. Who else gets that? On that she 944 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:03,480 Speaker 2: was technically incorrect. More than four hundred and fifty secondary 945 00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,520 Speaker 2: teachers earned more than one hundred and forty thousand fifteen 946 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:08,920 Speaker 2: thousand more than earn about one hundred thousand and more 947 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:10,520 Speaker 2: than eight thousand and one hundred and ten to one 948 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:14,319 Speaker 2: hundred and forty thousand dollars. As we showed you you 949 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,600 Speaker 2: can do it. You need some extra allowances. Not everybody 950 00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:21,000 Speaker 2: gets it, but the average for a secondary school teacher 951 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,400 Speaker 2: is one hundred thousand, nine hundred and thirty three dollars. 952 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:29,640 Speaker 2: She apologizes for mixing the message verbally, so technically she 953 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:33,360 Speaker 2: was correct. Verbally, she mangled at a bit news for 954 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:34,719 Speaker 2: you next. 955 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:40,400 Speaker 1: Your source of breaking news, challenging opinion and honored facts, 956 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:45,120 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast with Range Rover, leading by example, News, 957 00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:45,800 Speaker 1: Togs deadvs. 958 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,919 Speaker 2: Restaurant of the Year winner from last night for you shortly, Ryan, 959 00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,200 Speaker 2: we're out of supercows for you after eight o'clock this morning, 960 00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:52,680 Speaker 2: Rod little stool, the calm on the program, and I 961 00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,720 Speaker 2: will get you through this new study into New Zealand's 962 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,480 Speaker 2: energy system, which is probably surprising for a lot of 963 00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,960 Speaker 2: people anyway. Twenty three minutes to open seven related Matt 964 00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:02,880 Speaker 2: the business.

You're 973 00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:24,000 Speaker 2: fizzing at the moment. 974 00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,360 Speaker 21: Look, it's the result of a lot of hard work 975 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,000 Speaker 21: and building some serious projects over the last four to 976 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:34,000 Speaker 21: five years and working hard with customers. So yes, we're 977 00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,840 Speaker 21: very proud of the result. I think it's something to 978 00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,040 Speaker 21: be stand. 979 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,839 Speaker 2: Tall on manuwa For people who haven't followed this, you've 980 00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,120 Speaker 2: sort of integrate that, you bought that. How does that 981 00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:44,240 Speaker 2: play out in the future. 982 00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:48,400 Speaker 21: Ah, Look, so we're now integrating the business. But the 983 00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:52,880 Speaker 21: big benefit there is the complementary Hydro. They are what 984 00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:56,200 Speaker 21: we call winter weighted and in the North Island and 985 00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 21: our existing Hydro is in the South Island, and so 986 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,239 Speaker 21: the two portfolio complement each other phenomenally. 987 00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:02,439 Speaker 1: Well. 988 00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,000 Speaker 2: How fine a line do your walk as a company 989 00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:08,200 Speaker 2: or as a CEO?

It's due to those projects that we've 995 00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,480 Speaker 21: worked very hard on. Buildings. They're innovative, the g therm 996 00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,120 Speaker 21: or the base load, they're good for the country and 997 00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,319 Speaker 21: we want to do more. So No, this is a 998 00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:31,040 Speaker 21: result of investment, and we're investing more than what we 999 00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,359 Speaker 21: actually earned and profit last year. 1000 00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:35,960 Speaker 2: Those connections when they go, I mean there's a lot 1001 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:38,439 Speaker 2: of customers, six hundred and forty six thousand people. Why 1002 00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,799 Speaker 2: do they come to you? What is going How much 1003 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:42,240 Speaker 2: churn is there in the market. 1004 00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:45,960 Speaker 21: Ah, look, the churn probably averages somewhere between eighty and 1005 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,719 Speaker 21: twenty percent. We've got a good telco offering that we 1006 00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,799 Speaker 21: put around it. And then we also have what we 1007 00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,400 Speaker 21: call the good plans, which give people the three hours 1008 00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,440 Speaker 21: of free power or the free power on the weekends, 1009 00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:57,799 Speaker 21: and that helps people move their load and it helps 1010 00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:59,239 Speaker 21: them save costs and they seem to like that. 1011 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,239 Speaker 2: Okay, the battery at glen Brook. How much of the 1012 00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,000 Speaker 2: future is our battery? Do you think? 1013 00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:09,479 Speaker 21: Oh no, look batteries will form an absolute critical part 1014 00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:12,759 Speaker 21: of the infrastructure and the going forward. So there's a 1015 00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:16,160 Speaker 21: battery at Glenbrook. We've applied for resource consent've got more 1016 00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,319 Speaker 21: batteries at Glenbrook. They will take the edge of the 1017 00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:22,840 Speaker 21: morning and evening peaks and just leave the gaspeakers to 1018 00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:26,160 Speaker 21: run what we call the shoulders over the autom and spring. 1019 00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:27,920 Speaker 2: And you've also got to send out. I don't know 1020 00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:31,080 Speaker 2: if you've seen it, but at Prince King Charles has 1021 00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:35,080 Speaker 2: got a massive solar farm at Kensington Palace now in 1022 00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,600 Speaker 2: a paddock, and I saw it the other days. I 1023 00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,440 Speaker 2: just cannot visually get my head around it. They're ugly, 1024 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:41,960 Speaker 2: is that a thing or not? Really? 1025 00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:47,200 Speaker 21: Look you put them on land which is not otherwise 1026 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 21: going to be used and just absolutely perfect. You can 1027 00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:54,319 Speaker 21: actually run agriculture in between the panels, but you put 1028 00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,399 Speaker 21: them on land which is otherwise So that's why we're 1029 00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,000 Speaker 21: putting it in the land round christ a chairport that's 1030 00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,239 Speaker 21: otherwise fallow and so you may as well use it 1031 00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:02,000 Speaker 21: for something product. 1032 00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:03,839 Speaker 2: So no one, it's not going to be a thing 1033 00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,520 Speaker 2: eventually where people go, you know what. There are just 1034 00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,040 Speaker 2: too many of them and it's ugly, So that won't beginning. 1035 00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,839 Speaker 21: No, No, Unfortunately in New Zealand, looking at the weather 1036 00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,040 Speaker 21: out there this morning, we don't quite have the resource. 1037 00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,440 Speaker 21: They will be part of the system. We will build 1038 00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,600 Speaker 21: a few, but looking at the rain out there this morning, 1039 00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:23,520 Speaker 21: they're not going to become the thing and dominate the landscape. 1040 00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,400 Speaker 2: The electricity Authority is I'm sure you will. We're announced 1041 00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:28,799 Speaker 2: some sort of investigation. What's going on. You've got the 1042 00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,000 Speaker 2: concom there, You've got Nickeoler in the background. But the 1043 00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:34,400 Speaker 2: vibe in the industry generally are things what are they? Tense? 1044 00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:35,919 Speaker 2: Business is usual. 1045 00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 21: Look, we always have to keep an eye on what 1046 00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:44,279 Speaker 21: stakeholders saying, and so we acknowledge that. And that investigation 1047 00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:46,799 Speaker 21: was prompted by the stress in the gas market and 1048 00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:50,160 Speaker 21: gas apply and we understand that. But really, look, the 1049 00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:53,680 Speaker 21: big thing now, we're booming in terms of renewable energy build. 1050 00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:55,759 Speaker 21: We want to keep building. As I said last night, 1051 00:49:56,760 --> 00:50:02,080 Speaker 21: it's created strong economic growth and like Taupo, and if 1052 00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,640 Speaker 21: we can continue out across the whole country, that would 1053 00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:05,200 Speaker 21: be a great thing. 1054 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:06,840 Speaker 2: Good stuff. Nice to talk to you as always. Mike 1055 00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,760 Speaker 2: Fushi is the chief executive officer at Contact Energy, speaking 1056 00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:13,040 Speaker 2: of which it's nineteen two. So this study comes to 1057 00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,440 Speaker 2: us from the Business New Zealand Energy Council BECK the 1058 00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,920 Speaker 2: energy system, our energy system are fifteen other countries. So 1059 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:21,520 Speaker 2: out of the fifteen countries, you want to know what 1060 00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:28,080 Speaker 2: the countries are, all right, I'll tell you Australia, Canada, Chile, China, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Pakistan, Qatar, 1061 00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:32,879 Speaker 2: South Africa, Switzerland, Uruguay, Uosa. So of those countries, where 1062 00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:34,680 Speaker 2: do you reckon? We come the answer I'm going to 1063 00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:36,640 Speaker 2: tell you in a minute. So they look at different 1064 00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:40,680 Speaker 2: categories energy, import, dependency. Well, you know what the answer 1065 00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:43,360 Speaker 2: there is. Diversity of electricity generation. We're probably going to 1066 00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:48,800 Speaker 2: score pretty well. They're strategic fuel reserves, not really share 1067 00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:52,880 Speaker 2: of renewables we're probably okay. Share of renewables and electricity generation, 1068 00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:58,359 Speaker 2: energy intensity, electricity, wholesale volatility. We're hopeless at that air 1069 00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,760 Speaker 2: quality scene. Now, this is where I object. I understand 1070 00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:05,480 Speaker 2: why they do it, but what we really want correct 1071 00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,520 Speaker 2: me if I'm wrong when it comes to how good 1072 00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,280 Speaker 2: is our power system is? Does it work when I 1073 00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,960 Speaker 2: want the lights on? Do they work? Are they telling 1074 00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,480 Speaker 2: me not to heat my floor because it's a cold 1075 00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:17,680 Speaker 2: winter's morning. And if I do hit my floor, do 1076 00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:19,040 Speaker 2: I get a bill for one thousand dollars at the 1077 00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:21,319 Speaker 2: end of the month. That's what I'm really interested in. Yes, 1078 00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,040 Speaker 2: altruistically fantastica but we can clean the air as well. 1079 00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,759 Speaker 2: But anyway, they take everything on board and add it 1080 00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:29,040 Speaker 2: all up together, and they compare us to all those 1081 00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:33,080 Speaker 2: other countries, and we end out of fifteen. What do 1082 00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:36,920 Speaker 2: you reckon? I'll tell you shortly eighteen two the. 1083 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:41,440 Speaker 1: Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by 1084 00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:42,040 Speaker 1: the News Talks. 1085 00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:50,720 Speaker 2: It'd be fourteen away from Mike twelfth. Sorry, Coler, Mike's 1086 00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:54,640 Speaker 2: solar farms are so ugly, Yes they are. Have a 1087 00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,239 Speaker 2: look at King Charles's one. It's ugly. It was where 1088 00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:58,880 Speaker 2: the horses, where he's taking the horses out, and he's 1089 00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,960 Speaker 2: put solar paneters in. The whole runs now on solar panels, 1090 00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:03,920 Speaker 2: so I get why he is doing it. And the 1091 00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:05,799 Speaker 2: photo is taken from the air so you can hide 1092 00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:07,760 Speaker 2: it behind trees. I get all of that, and nothing's 1093 00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:09,520 Speaker 2: going to change just because we think they're ugly. But 1094 00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:13,240 Speaker 2: they are ugly. Fifth, fifth out of fifteen. 1095 00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:18,600 Speaker 9: Where was our energy not intense enough to go entire. 1096 00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,279 Speaker 2: In some areas it was intense, in other areas it 1097 00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:21,880 Speaker 2: was lacking. 1098 00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:24,320 Speaker 9: Well, that was the one that I didn't really understand 1099 00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:24,879 Speaker 9: what that means. 1100 00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:30,000 Speaker 2: Well, important dependency diversity about electricity generation, strategic fuel reserves, 1101 00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:34,719 Speaker 2: share of renewables, share of renewables, and generation energy intensity. 1102 00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:37,520 Speaker 2: Now the top one there is Ireland and Switzerland. It 1103 00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:42,000 Speaker 2: is calculated by taking each country's total energy consumption, dividing 1104 00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,360 Speaker 2: it by countries, GDP and US dollars. 1105 00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:46,080 Speaker 9: That's how you get intensity. 1106 00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,920 Speaker 2: You certainly don't, well, we don't have any US dollars, 1107 00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:50,920 Speaker 2: and when we take our currency and compare it to 1108 00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:54,000 Speaker 2: US dollars, you need tremendous numbers of them to even compete. 1109 00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:56,120 Speaker 2: This is getting intense, I think is part of the problem. 1110 00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,959 Speaker 2: Next question for the morning. If you were the prime 1111 00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:03,600 Speaker 2: and somebody said to you, and you had and this 1112 00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,320 Speaker 2: was Sunday, Sunday in the early hours of the morning, 1113 00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,200 Speaker 2: and you had Mike Hosking on Monday morning, and you 1114 00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,399 Speaker 2: had a press conference in cabinet later on in the day, 1115 00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,440 Speaker 2: and they said to you, hate Prime Minister Starmer and 1116 00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,600 Speaker 2: Macron are getting together at one o'clock in the morning, 1117 00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:19,000 Speaker 2: our time for a little get together via the zoom 1118 00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:23,439 Speaker 2: to coalition at the willing you know the war, would 1119 00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,799 Speaker 2: you join the meeting? So Luxon didn't, And when he 1120 00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,200 Speaker 2: was asked about it at the postcap press conference yesterday, 1121 00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:34,640 Speaker 2: he looked embarrassed, close to embarrassed, moderately embarrassed, but he 1122 00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,799 Speaker 2: said he was represented. He said Amanda turned up. She 1123 00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,239 Speaker 2: got it. No, it's not true. He had officials there, 1124 00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:42,920 Speaker 2: but he didn't go to the one o'clock. Now here's 1125 00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,399 Speaker 2: my problem. I defend him for not turning up to it. 1126 00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:48,080 Speaker 2: Most other people everyone's running with it this morning. The 1127 00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:50,080 Speaker 2: media is running with it this morning. Now I can't 1128 00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:51,759 Speaker 2: work out whether the media is running with it this 1129 00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,680 Speaker 2: morning because they hate Luxon and they're out to get them, 1130 00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,080 Speaker 2: or whether the media is running it this morning because 1131 00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:58,960 Speaker 2: as a prime minister you should actually be there at 1132 00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,320 Speaker 2: one in the morning. I side with the Prime minister, 1133 00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,160 Speaker 2: not fully but partially. And this is why I'm not 1134 00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:09,160 Speaker 2: prime minister, because what I would have said yesterday and 1135 00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:11,960 Speaker 2: I'd be dealing with the fallout this morning is when 1136 00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:13,800 Speaker 2: they asked me why I wasn't there at one o'clock 1137 00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,080 Speaker 2: in the morning, I go, well, you know full well 1138 00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:19,480 Speaker 2: that it was just yet another gab fest on Zoom 1139 00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:22,640 Speaker 2: with Starmer and Macron, and they've got nowhere so far, 1140 00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:24,720 Speaker 2: and Trump's the one who's going to sort this problem. 1141 00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:27,120 Speaker 2: So why would I waste my early hours of Sunday 1142 00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:29,560 Speaker 2: morning knowing I had hosking in a few hours, Although 1143 00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:31,640 Speaker 2: I wouldn't say hosking because I would be the prime Minister, 1144 00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:33,440 Speaker 2: so I wouldn't refer to myself and the third person. 1145 00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:35,200 Speaker 9: He could never do that. 1146 00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:36,880 Speaker 2: I mean no, I wouldn't do that, and there'd be 1147 00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:38,400 Speaker 2: someone else doing the show, and I wouldn't want to 1148 00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,080 Speaker 2: be on the program anyway. So anyway, I say, I 1149 00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:41,760 Speaker 2: wouldn't be there because it was a waste of time 1150 00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:44,800 Speaker 2: and they've done nothing so far, and it's got nowhere. 1151 00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:46,960 Speaker 2: And we rated the used cabinet and we gave them 1152 00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,080 Speaker 2: some blankets and some helbets and three and a half 1153 00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:51,640 Speaker 2: thousand dollars and so what you want me to waste 1154 00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:52,200 Speaker 2: my sleep for? 1155 00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:53,840 Speaker 9: Yeah? But he didn't say that, though, did he? What 1156 00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:55,359 Speaker 9: did he say? What did he say? 1157 00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:58,360 Speaker 2: Mike? He said, I had people representing me and was 1158 00:54:58,360 --> 00:54:59,680 Speaker 2: there and I had a busy morning and I had 1159 00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:00,520 Speaker 2: Mike Ho do. 1160 00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:04,400 Speaker 9: It and there was a time difference. 1161 00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:07,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, the times. Yeah, the time zone was his problem 1162 00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:10,680 Speaker 2: because it was one o'clock in the morning. So if 1163 00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,400 Speaker 2: he had been honest, he could have got away with it. 1164 00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:15,680 Speaker 2: I mean, yes, there would be fall out this morning 1165 00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:18,280 Speaker 2: from other countries, but at least he would have been honest, 1166 00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:20,960 Speaker 2: Whereas now he's just got a whole lot of stories 1167 00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,200 Speaker 2: to deal with and there's more image problems and the 1168 00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:25,160 Speaker 2: media are picking on him and he probably feels bad 1169 00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:27,320 Speaker 2: about him.

What's expected of you? 1317 01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:27,840 Speaker 2: I mean, what specifically do they tell you how much 1318 01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,120 Speaker 2: pressure is on you and and do you feel that. 1319 01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:34,680 Speaker 23: I guess for me, you know, you always have pressure 1320 01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:38,280 Speaker 23: growing up because you're always trying to prove yourself and 1321 01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:40,680 Speaker 23: and that sort of stuff. And I felt like last 1322 01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:45,760 Speaker 23: year I didn't have any added pressure from anyone but myself. 1323 01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:49,320 Speaker 23: But I felt like the biggest thing was actually, you know, 1324 01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:53,320 Speaker 23: just being able to handle the workload of everything, which 1325 01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:54,240 Speaker 23: is quite a bit different. 1326 01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:55,960 Speaker 22: I went from. 1327 01:02:55,880 --> 01:03:00,320 Speaker 23: Racing six weekends of a year to fifteen, so being 1328 01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:03,120 Speaker 23: able to cope with that was probably the biggest step up. 1329 01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:06,720 Speaker 23: And you know, for me, trying to get my head 1330 01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:09,920 Speaker 23: around that. And I guess the pressure of ratings has 1331 01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:12,440 Speaker 23: always been there since you were seven years old, but 1332 01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:15,720 Speaker 23: you're only again doing a few weekends of the year. 1333 01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:21,720 Speaker 23: I guess the biggest part is the mental and the 1334 01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:25,120 Speaker 23: physical side of racing in main game Supercars is a 1335 01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:28,560 Speaker 23: lot higher than the junior ranks. And you know, over 1336 01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,880 Speaker 23: a race weekend, we're meeting hundreds and hundreds of different 1337 01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:35,760 Speaker 23: people and fans that make our sport go round, which 1338 01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:39,360 Speaker 23: is probably the coolest part of my job, and being 1339 01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:42,560 Speaker 23: able to meet everyone and that sort of stuff. But 1340 01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:45,360 Speaker 23: to keep up with that is a full time job 1341 01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:48,200 Speaker 23: just about it in itself. So yeah, I wouldn't say 1342 01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:52,000 Speaker 23: the pressure side is something I worry about too much 1343 01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:54,720 Speaker 23: because you're always out there trying to do your best. 1344 01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:56,920 Speaker 23: But at the end of the day, you know you 1345 01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:59,479 Speaker 23: can only do so much with the tools you're given 1346 01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:02,400 Speaker 23: and how much preparation you put in. And I feel like, 1347 01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:05,640 Speaker 23: you know, for me, it's just about making sure I 1348 01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:07,840 Speaker 23: turn up to the racetrack as well prepared as that 1349 01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:08,240 Speaker 23: can be. 1350 01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:10,600 Speaker 2: Here's the thing. Every time we have one of you 1351 01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:13,280 Speaker 2: guys race car driver on the program, people always comment 1352 01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:16,520 Speaker 2: and say how articulate everybody in the sport is? What 1353 01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:20,120 Speaker 2: do you reckon? It is about motorsport that levels people out. 1354 01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:24,400 Speaker 2: You know, decent people emerge because of your sport. 1355 01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:26,919 Speaker 23: I would say it's probably because a lot of people 1356 01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:30,000 Speaker 23: have had to sacrifice a lot, so being in the 1357 01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:33,560 Speaker 23: position they are in, they probably feel very fortunate and 1358 01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:37,240 Speaker 23: appreciative of what they have and that's probably something that 1359 01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:42,760 Speaker 23: I'm I've taken on board. It's interesting you say that 1360 01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:45,560 Speaker 23: because I wouldn't say everyone's an all some bloken motorsport, 1361 01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:51,600 Speaker 23: but it's yeah, definitely. You know, you surround yourself with 1362 01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:54,680 Speaker 23: some cool people, and you get to meet amazing families 1363 01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:58,200 Speaker 23: that are along the way. And yeah, I guess the 1364 01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:03,600 Speaker 23: best part about motorsport is you make lifelong friends. So yeah, 1365 01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:05,960 Speaker 23: I would say, I don't know what it is. It's 1366 01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:08,960 Speaker 23: probably just because, like I said, you sacrifice so much 1367 01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:11,360 Speaker 23: to get there, and once you're there, you're sort of, 1368 01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:13,800 Speaker 23: you know, just enjoying the moment. 1369 01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:15,920 Speaker 2: Of course you do. Hold on, mate, We'll come back 1370 01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:18,320 Speaker 2: with more in a moment. Ryan would out of supercows 1371 01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:20,280 Speaker 2: for us. This morning on the Gold Coast twelve past. 1372 01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:24,720 Speaker 1: Eight, the Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, 1373 01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:26,120 Speaker 1: Howard By News Talks. 1374 01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:28,960 Speaker 2: It be News Talks have been caught a past eight 1375 01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:32,600 Speaker 2: Ryan Wood of Walking Sure Andretty United is with the 1376 01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:35,440 Speaker 2: supercars we talk of course, now listen what I want 1377 01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:38,640 Speaker 2: to know Ryan, Your observation on AGEV experience because you're young? 1378 01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:41,760 Speaker 2: Of course? Yes, Is it experience that potentially holds you 1379 01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:45,800 Speaker 2: back or accelerates you or do you reckon its age? 1380 01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:49,440 Speaker 23: It's a tough one because there're only two years in 1381 01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:53,440 Speaker 23: so I can't come in on either. But I know 1382 01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:55,560 Speaker 23: for a fact it's very hard to get into the 1383 01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:59,840 Speaker 23: supercars and main game being young because they always wanted 1384 01:05:59,880 --> 01:06:02,440 Speaker 23: to experience, but you can only get experience if you're 1385 01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:04,440 Speaker 23: giving a shot. And I was lucky enough to be 1386 01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:07,720 Speaker 23: given a shot by walking Sir Andrew to United And 1387 01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:12,400 Speaker 23: you know, I think, fingers crossed, I can be here 1388 01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:14,919 Speaker 23: for a long time and be able to prove to them, 1389 01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:19,120 Speaker 23: you know, age and experiences and are worry for me 1390 01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:21,520 Speaker 23: and we can just you know, go out there and 1391 01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:24,240 Speaker 23: want as many races as we can and that sort 1392 01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:26,720 Speaker 23: of stuff. I'm not too sure to answer your question, 1393 01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:29,600 Speaker 23: but all I know is I'm twenty one trying to 1394 01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:32,600 Speaker 23: get as much experience as I can, and you know, 1395 01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:35,600 Speaker 23: that's sort of where I'm at, and. 1396 01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:38,240 Speaker 2: What's what's the big picture plan? Because I mean, at 1397 01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:40,320 Speaker 2: twenty one, you look at a guy out and I liked, say, 1398 01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:43,640 Speaker 2: Will Davidson. So the gap between you and him age 1399 01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:45,800 Speaker 2: wise is here. You could be there for many, many, 1400 01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:46,560 Speaker 2: many years. 1401 01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:50,240 Speaker 23: Yeah, it's funny you say that, Like I was actually 1402 01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:54,160 Speaker 23: training with Tim Slade this morning and we're you know, 1403 01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:57,800 Speaker 23: different ends of our career and he's obviously older and 1404 01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:01,080 Speaker 23: I'm younger, and he's had a really long and successful 1405 01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:03,360 Speaker 23: career and you look at that and that's something obviously 1406 01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:07,720 Speaker 23: I want to achieve, but I don't really have my 1407 01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:12,800 Speaker 23: site set on anything other than supercars, so that's sort 1408 01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:17,360 Speaker 23: of my short term plan. But obviously if I go 1409 01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:21,320 Speaker 23: out there and win a championship and Bathurst in the 1410 01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:22,560 Speaker 23: next two years, then. 1411 01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:26,000 Speaker 2: Who knows old Bathurst Day now that's what two race 1412 01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:28,680 Speaker 2: meetings away. Are you thinking about that already? 1413 01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:32,240 Speaker 23: Yeah, you're thinking about Bathists all year long. So I 1414 01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:34,680 Speaker 23: can't wait to get there. That's why I'm sort of 1415 01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:38,680 Speaker 23: up on the Goldie at the moment, doing a training 1416 01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:41,640 Speaker 23: camp to really make sure that I get to the 1417 01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:44,760 Speaker 23: mountain and when I'm well prepared and can last the 1418 01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:48,280 Speaker 23: track walk because I tell you what, walking around that 1419 01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:52,000 Speaker 23: place is hard work. So looking forward to getting back there. 1420 01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:54,840 Speaker 23: And you know, for me, last year was my first 1421 01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:58,920 Speaker 23: Bathurst one thousands, so I felt like I've learned a 1422 01:07:58,920 --> 01:08:03,880 Speaker 23: lot over the last twelve And yeah, it's just can't 1423 01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:06,400 Speaker 23: wait to get going. We've obviously got Taylor Bin coming 1424 01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:09,440 Speaker 23: up and that should be a nice little curtain raiser 1425 01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:13,840 Speaker 23: and then the big dance, so I'm pretty sure everyone's 1426 01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:15,000 Speaker 23: pretty excited for it. 1427 01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:17,439 Speaker 2: It's just such a different races and I mean, you're 1428 01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:20,120 Speaker 2: into the endurance end of the season anyway. But Bathurst 1429 01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:23,240 Speaker 2: is like, I mean, you're all good drivers. What's the 1430 01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:26,240 Speaker 2: magic is it? Luck? I mean, anything can happen on 1431 01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:26,920 Speaker 2: the day, can't it. 1432 01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:32,000 Speaker 23: I think Bathurst chooses to win away before you know 1433 01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:36,200 Speaker 23: we've got any any saying it. So, yeah, we'll see 1434 01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:40,080 Speaker 23: how we go. Hopefully the mountain has chosen us nicely 1435 01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:43,360 Speaker 23: this year and we can go from there. But it's 1436 01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:48,320 Speaker 23: obviously just such an amazing atmosphere and event two nations 1437 01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:50,519 Speaker 23: get around it, the whole world sort of gets around 1438 01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:54,200 Speaker 23: it to a certain degree, so you've got eyes on 1439 01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:57,080 Speaker 23: you from all parts of the world, which is really exciting, 1440 01:08:57,720 --> 01:08:59,760 Speaker 23: and just you know, it makes you when I over 1441 01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:03,000 Speaker 23: member getting there last year, being with FABS, I couldn't 1442 01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:06,400 Speaker 23: have asked for anyone better for my first year to 1443 01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:09,639 Speaker 23: really guide me through it and enjoy the moment because 1444 01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:13,200 Speaker 23: you only get your first batist once and you know 1445 01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:15,719 Speaker 23: this year there's definitely a bit more I guess pressure 1446 01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:20,880 Speaker 23: to execute and have a good race. So I think 1447 01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:24,160 Speaker 23: just what makes you stand out is you know, it's 1448 01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:27,560 Speaker 23: a mountain and it's a it's a built in racetrack. 1449 01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:31,479 Speaker 23: It's something you don't see very often, so it's pretty exciting. 1450 01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:34,400 Speaker 2: Now we haven't mentioned Greg Murphy yet, and I know 1451 01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:36,920 Speaker 2: Greue pretty well, and everyone speaks so well of what 1452 01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:39,680 Speaker 2: Greg's doing with you and helping you out. What's his 1453 01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:42,800 Speaker 2: magic in terms of what he's helping you with. 1454 01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:49,240 Speaker 23: I'd say Mervh's biggest thing is that he keeps me accountable. 1455 01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:53,639 Speaker 23: You know, he's on my I'm asked a lot, which 1456 01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:57,400 Speaker 23: is amazing for me. Sometimes it gets tiring. If you 1457 01:09:57,439 --> 01:10:00,400 Speaker 23: know him well, then you know what he's like. But 1458 01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:03,519 Speaker 23: the biggest thing with Murphy is he's been there and 1459 01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:07,400 Speaker 23: done everything that I'm going through. It's not more so 1460 01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:10,080 Speaker 23: to have someone like that being able to lean on 1461 01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:13,679 Speaker 23: him and you know, really make sure that I'm getting 1462 01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:16,840 Speaker 23: the most out of myself and that sort of stuff 1463 01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:21,200 Speaker 23: is second to none.

Is about optimizing every second of its use, 1514 01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:29,599 Speaker 2: which is all about constantly calculating, measuring and analyzing. Anyone 1515 01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:32,280 Speaker 2: who's the best at these is unquestionably going to be articular. 1516 01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:34,759 Speaker 2: It's a very good point. You want a better breaking 1517 01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:41,760 Speaker 2: news just putting some stuff in the rubbish, it's not 1518 01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:46,200 Speaker 2: really breaking news. It's moderately interesting. The Electricity Authority remember them, 1519 01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:49,639 Speaker 2: they came to life a couple of days ago. They've 1520 01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:51,960 Speaker 2: been hanging around forever. We asked them last year where 1521 01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:54,479 Speaker 2: they were in the crisis when the spot price went 1522 01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:59,720 Speaker 2: through the roof, but they were weren't that interested at 1523 01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:02,479 Speaker 2: the time. But suddenly they've decided to get interested. I 1524 01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:05,320 Speaker 2: suspect I gave the Prime mister a free hit on 1525 01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:07,160 Speaker 2: the programmes today, but he didn't take it. I said, 1526 01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:09,280 Speaker 2: is it because people have written to him? Which they had. 1527 01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:11,200 Speaker 2: The whole lot of users had written to Prime mister 1528 01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:12,840 Speaker 2: and said this is ridiculous. You might want to get 1529 01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:16,439 Speaker 2: the EA to do something. My strong thinking is that 1530 01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:18,680 Speaker 2: he probably did. Anyway, So the EA have woken up 1531 01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:20,559 Speaker 2: and they've announced this morning a number of options. They 1532 01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:23,759 Speaker 2: are moving. They are moving ladies and gentlemen to level 1533 01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:26,719 Speaker 2: the playing field. That's right, remember we heard at first 1534 01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:30,759 Speaker 2: they're moving to level the playing field. Are four large 1535 01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:34,280 Speaker 2: gent Taylors, so we're talking Genesis, Contact, Meridian, Mercury. The 1536 01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:38,000 Speaker 2: options three targeted interventions, no less ladies and gentlemen. Three, 1537 01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:40,120 Speaker 2: not just one. There's the EA we're dealing with them. 1538 01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:43,160 Speaker 2: I'm looking around with one. They're gore three three targeted interventions. 1539 01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:47,719 Speaker 2: The authority is progressing these pro competition interventions at pace 1540 01:13:48,520 --> 01:13:50,760 Speaker 2: so they'll be in place they think by mid next year. 1541 01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:52,880 Speaker 2: So you can see the sort of pace they move out. 1542 01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:56,920 Speaker 2: One Yeah, pacy options for requiring Gen Taylor's to trade 1543 01:13:56,920 --> 01:14:00,000 Speaker 2: minimum volumes of the new Zealand wholesale electricity hedge product 1544 01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:02,840 Speaker 2: introduce in January to help independent participants manage the risk. 1545 01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:05,879 Speaker 2: It's not bad, it's good idea code change is necessary 1546 01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:08,880 Speaker 2: to introduce mandatory non discrimination obligations for the for lunch. 1547 01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:11,919 Speaker 2: Gen Taylor's draft code amendments published for feedback in October, 1548 01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:15,880 Speaker 2: so we're looking for some feedback. And third, a review 1549 01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:18,720 Speaker 2: of the market making in the electricity futures market to 1550 01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:21,519 Speaker 2: ensure it promotes healthy competition and transparency. This will be 1551 01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:26,040 Speaker 2: published for OH feedback in November. So some feedbacks coming one. 1552 01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:28,920 Speaker 2: Two of the three involve feedback, and none of it 1553 01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:31,360 Speaker 2: seems to be The authority is also ready to intervene 1554 01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:35,120 Speaker 2: with urgent regulation if there's a sudden material reduction in 1555 01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:39,439 Speaker 2: the supply of shaped hedges. If you've got problem with 1556 01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:43,040 Speaker 2: your shaped hedges, there's a man with a van for that. 1557 01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:47,720 Speaker 2: But that's another matter. You might have perhaps thought there 1558 01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:50,559 Speaker 2: I was taking the piss out of them, and you'd 1559 01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:54,200 Speaker 2: be right, because it's the electricity authority and they cannot 1560 01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:56,080 Speaker 2: possibly be taken series. 1561 01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:01,920 Speaker 1: The only report you need like your Day, the my casting, 1562 01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:06,559 Speaker 1: Breakfast with a Vida, Retirement, Communities, Life, your Way, News, 1563 01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:07,719 Speaker 1: togs head be I never. 1564 01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:11,240 Speaker 2: Mentioned it, probably while mainly because nothing to mention. They 1565 01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:13,639 Speaker 2: are in the meeting. Still the meeting is taking place, 1566 01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:15,479 Speaker 2: mind you, If you looked at earlier on when we 1567 01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:19,000 Speaker 2: were featuring the chat around the dining table where each 1568 01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:21,120 Speaker 2: of them got to say, you can see why these 1569 01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:23,400 Speaker 2: things take so long, because as you hear one person 1570 01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:29,000 Speaker 2: articulates something, everyone else sits around going and so it 1571 01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:31,280 Speaker 2: goes roun Anyway, this is what starm has said before 1572 01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:32,200 Speaker 2: we went in. 1573 01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:35,639 Speaker 24: A trilateral meeting. Seems the sensible next step so thank 1574 01:15:35,680 --> 01:15:38,519 Speaker 24: you for being prepared to take that forward, because I 1575 01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:44,400 Speaker 24: think if we can ensure that that is the progress 1576 01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:47,040 Speaker 24: out of this meeting, both security guarantees and some sort 1577 01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:50,960 Speaker 24: of progress on trilateral meeting of some sort to bring 1578 01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:54,600 Speaker 24: some of the difficult issues to a head, then I 1579 01:15:54,640 --> 01:15:58,479 Speaker 24: think today we'll be seen as a very important day in. 1580 01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:03,280 Speaker 17: Recent Yearsnetill correspondence with ends inn Eye Insurance, peace of 1581 01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:05,439 Speaker 17: mind for New Zealand business nine. 1582 01:16:05,479 --> 01:16:08,160 Speaker 12: Let's gather, but lot morning to you, Good morning to you, Mike. 1583 01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:10,400 Speaker 2: So half of Europe now one's left in Britain, of course, 1584 01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:12,800 Speaker 2: because half of Europe is in Washington as we speak, 1585 01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:15,880 Speaker 2: at the big meeting in the chinway, as Starmer left. 1586 01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:19,519 Speaker 2: What hope does Britain see that this could end well? 1587 01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:25,240 Speaker 12: More hope than we had, I say yesterday, and indeed 1588 01:16:25,320 --> 01:16:31,479 Speaker 12: on Saturday, Friday and Saturday our time one had only 1589 01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:37,439 Speaker 12: fully grave reservations about the Trump Putin summit, especially given 1590 01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:42,320 Speaker 12: the treatment meeted out of that of Imputin by Donald Trump. 1591 01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:47,759 Speaker 12: And since then the European leaders have been ringing Donald 1592 01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:53,680 Speaker 12: Trump and speaking with greater and greater urgency to him, 1593 01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:56,280 Speaker 12: which is to say, you know, Russia can't come out 1594 01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:58,599 Speaker 12: of this with more land than it has of the moment, 1595 01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:02,880 Speaker 12: which is one of the central issues. But now we've 1596 01:17:02,920 --> 01:17:08,760 Speaker 12: had both Zelensky and indeed Sekir Starma. Zelenski said these 1597 01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:12,080 Speaker 12: have been the best talk so far, and Starma's saying 1598 01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:15,360 Speaker 12: that he thinks that they can make real progress to 1599 01:17:15,479 --> 01:17:18,280 Speaker 12: end the war. That are trilateral meeting is the sensible 1600 01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:21,280 Speaker 12: next step, and it would be a historical step forward. 1601 01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:25,240 Speaker 12: I think that comes about if you look at what 1602 01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:32,639 Speaker 12: Vladimya Putinies has offered us his conditions for peace. If 1603 01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:38,479 Speaker 12: Russia got the whole of the donbas I think that Britain, France, 1604 01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:43,360 Speaker 12: Germany would complain. I think there would be fury amongst 1605 01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:46,160 Speaker 12: the Western European leaders if that happened, apart from in 1606 01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:50,320 Speaker 12: Hungary obviously, But if there could be some deal done 1607 01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:53,679 Speaker 12: which involved just part of the donbasali the Eastern region 1608 01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:56,320 Speaker 12: that it is split into two, then I think that's 1609 01:17:57,000 --> 01:18:00,839 Speaker 12: that's more likely. That's something which is possible to achieve. 1610 01:18:01,439 --> 01:18:04,000 Speaker 12: But that being said, it's a long way. 1611 01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:06,560 Speaker 2: Away yet, Yes it is. What's more important to a 1612 01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:10,360 Speaker 2: Starma or Europe for that matter, is is it the 1613 01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:12,960 Speaker 2: security guarantee that if you give put in a chunk 1614 01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:15,960 Speaker 2: of land. That's it, and we believe that's it, or 1615 01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:18,000 Speaker 2: is it just the security guarantee and you give away 1616 01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:19,880 Speaker 2: any thing you want because it's not yours in the 1617 01:18:19,880 --> 01:18:20,360 Speaker 2: first place. 1618 01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:23,760 Speaker 12: I think it's it's two or three things. Firstly, a 1619 01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:26,120 Speaker 12: domestic political front. He needs to be seen to be 1620 01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:30,759 Speaker 12: strong Starma, and he's been reasonably strong on the Ukraine. 1621 01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:34,000 Speaker 12: Not a strong perhaps as Boris Johnson, but still reasonably strong. 1622 01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:39,240 Speaker 12: Then on the more pragmatic realms, Western Europe really does 1623 01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:43,719 Speaker 12: not want to see Vladimir Putin rewarded for his invasion 1624 01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:48,080 Speaker 12: in twenty twenty two because they fear, with some justification, 1625 01:18:48,160 --> 01:18:50,839 Speaker 12: that it could lead to another invasion, either of Ukraine 1626 01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:53,080 Speaker 12: again or indeed of one of the Baltic states or 1627 01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:59,200 Speaker 12: mold Over wherever. So that is the strategically important thing. 1628 01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:02,320 Speaker 12: I think the third important thing for Starmer is to 1629 01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:05,439 Speaker 12: ensure that what ever happens at this meeting, there is 1630 01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:10,000 Speaker 12: no rift to be seen between the Western European leaders 1631 01:19:10,479 --> 01:19:17,800 Speaker 12: and Donald Trump, because this meeting kind of is it 1632 01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:21,000 Speaker 12: does bring to the amount of possibilities that NATO could 1633 01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:21,679 Speaker 12: be under threat. 1634 01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:23,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, if you go back to the beginning that 1635 01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:26,519 Speaker 2: was what I mean. When Trump stormed into office, he 1636 01:19:26,600 --> 01:19:28,599 Speaker 2: basically said, well, you know, NATO's a pain, and you've 1637 01:19:28,600 --> 01:19:30,719 Speaker 2: only paid two percent and you need to pay five percent. 1638 01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:32,800 Speaker 2: You've been doing nothing in America pays the bills and 1639 01:19:32,840 --> 01:19:34,160 Speaker 2: the whole thing look for a while. To be a 1640 01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:38,200 Speaker 2: complete cluster. Is Starmer in lockstep with Europe. 1641 01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:45,240 Speaker 12: Probably slightly more inclined to the American position than the 1642 01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:52,439 Speaker 12: French or Germans, but nowhere near us closely aligned. You 1643 01:19:52,479 --> 01:19:55,200 Speaker 12: know that some of the visit grab states are aligned 1644 01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:59,439 Speaker 12: with We're alligned actually with Russiam if we're honest. I 1645 01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:03,679 Speaker 12: think Starmer sees himself with some justification. What's a kind 1646 01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:08,200 Speaker 12: of mid Atlantic stepping stone between the Europe and the USA? 1647 01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:11,960 Speaker 12: And that's certainly the role which has been playing for 1648 01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:15,680 Speaker 12: the last year, and indeed before that, before even he 1649 01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:17,360 Speaker 12: was he became Prime minister. 1650 01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:19,640 Speaker 2: All right, might ketch up on Thursday. Appreciate it very much. 1651 01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:21,320 Speaker 2: Rod a little out of Britain. Just a couple of 1652 01:20:21,320 --> 01:20:23,080 Speaker 2: things in that particular part of the world. It's eighteen 1653 01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:25,880 Speaker 2: minutes away from nine to Hosking. You'll know about the 1654 01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:27,840 Speaker 2: horse racing. They're going on strike for a day. The 1655 01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:30,880 Speaker 2: tenth of September. Rachel Reeves is aiming for some more Texas. 1656 01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:31,720 Speaker 19: I must ask. 1657 01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:33,679 Speaker 2: I don't know if she'd tell me. But Nicola Willis 1658 01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:37,400 Speaker 2: was in Britain last week talking with Rachel Reeves. I 1659 01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:39,000 Speaker 2: don't know if she'd go. I'll tell you what she 1660 01:20:39,080 --> 01:20:41,720 Speaker 2: told me. That was really interesting. I'll ask her when 1661 01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:43,120 Speaker 2: she's next on. But I don't hold out now. 1662 01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:45,240 Speaker 9: Don't she make that work with the time difference. 1663 01:20:45,720 --> 01:20:48,439 Speaker 2: She went there. That's what they should have done. They 1664 01:20:48,439 --> 01:20:50,320 Speaker 2: should have gone. Look, there's a meeting at one o'clock 1665 01:20:50,360 --> 01:20:53,000 Speaker 2: in the afternoon in the morning, Prime Minister, Sunday morning, 1666 01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:54,680 Speaker 2: one am. Can you do? 1667 01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:54,800 Speaker 13: It? 1668 01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:57,880 Speaker 2: Goes absolutely not. I've got hosking at seven. But I'll 1669 01:20:57,880 --> 01:21:00,400 Speaker 2: tell you what what I could do is I could 1670 01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:04,400 Speaker 2: fly there and that would then be one o'clock in 1671 01:21:04,439 --> 01:21:06,880 Speaker 2: the afternoon. That'll work out perfectly. I wonder if he 1672 01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:09,720 Speaker 2: thought of that. Iceland, by the way, you're a supermarket 1673 01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:13,360 Speaker 2: chain in Britain. They're offering one pound if you report 1674 01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:17,720 Speaker 2: a shoplifter. It goes on your Iceland bonus card. So 1675 01:21:17,800 --> 01:21:20,000 Speaker 2: it cost them twenty million pounds a year. People nicking 1676 01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:23,519 Speaker 2: stuff you do not necessarily need to apprehend the person. 1677 01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:27,720 Speaker 2: So I certainly wouldn't for a pound. What a stupid there? 1678 01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:29,400 Speaker 9: Would you do it for two pound? 1679 01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:32,720 Speaker 2: I'd do it for a tenor I'd ankle tap them 1680 01:21:32,760 --> 01:21:35,840 Speaker 2: for a five and beat the Jesus out of them 1681 01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:38,280 Speaker 2: for twenty. Oh, give me fifty and I'll finish them up. 1682 01:21:38,439 --> 01:21:41,080 Speaker 2: He added that encouraging customers to take part in crime 1683 01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:43,800 Speaker 2: prevention could potentially help reduce the prices and stores. Well, 1684 01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:46,599 Speaker 2: that's crap. And the other thing that I'm moderately excited 1685 01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:50,160 Speaker 2: about is top Shop. Obviously I've never shopped in there, 1686 01:21:50,160 --> 01:21:52,120 Speaker 2: but I know people who do. Katie's a big fan 1687 01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:54,600 Speaker 2: of top Shop, and when we've been in Britain, we 1688 01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:56,519 Speaker 2: like top Shop. Or she liked to go in, and 1689 01:21:56,560 --> 01:21:58,640 Speaker 2: I like to stand outside on Oxford Street waiting for 1690 01:21:58,640 --> 01:22:01,040 Speaker 2: her to come back out again. They went barey up 1691 01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:03,960 Speaker 2: because remember Sir Philip Green, the Arcadia Group, big fat 1692 01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:06,200 Speaker 2: ball guy. I had a big shot off to his 1693 01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:10,080 Speaker 2: luxury yacht. Remember those photos. Anyway, they're coming back. They've 1694 01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:12,080 Speaker 2: opened a standalone shop on the High Street and the 1695 01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:16,000 Speaker 2: Ice Street. They hosted their first catwalk over the past weekend, 1696 01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:20,320 Speaker 2: so we wish them well as well. Sixteen to two the. 1697 01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:24,840 Speaker 1: Like Asking Breakfast Fall Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by 1698 01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:25,680 Speaker 1: news Talks. 1699 01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:25,680 Speaker 18: At B. 1700 01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:29,679 Speaker 2: Thirteen away from nine. This is what they're up against. 1701 01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:32,160 Speaker 2: A very funny story and newsroom if you want to 1702 01:22:32,160 --> 01:22:35,120 Speaker 2: read the full detail. But what happened was so despite 1703 01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:37,320 Speaker 2: what many of you or in ded I would believe, 1704 01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:40,519 Speaker 2: part of the coalition agreement was we stopped naming things 1705 01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:43,080 Speaker 2: in Maory government departments and murray, we've got to stop 1706 01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:46,400 Speaker 2: at Health New Zealand New Zealand Transport Agency. They were 1707 01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:48,720 Speaker 2: the early ones and then of course it seemed to 1708 01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:51,120 Speaker 2: stall and they gave up at that particular point. Well, 1709 01:22:51,160 --> 01:22:55,120 Speaker 2: not so apparently slowly, but surely and quietly. Behind the scenes, 1710 01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:58,439 Speaker 2: all the government departments have been changing their names back 1711 01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:01,679 Speaker 2: to English. First. Now this is what the government fight 1712 01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:04,200 Speaker 2: because the latest is the Department of Internal Affairs. Now, 1713 01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:07,160 Speaker 2: let's be honest. The Department of Internal Affairs in Mari 1714 01:23:07,360 --> 01:23:12,320 Speaker 2: is tetari tey feinua or Typhenawa. Now you have no 1715 01:23:12,439 --> 01:23:14,400 Speaker 2: idea If I said that to you, you wouldn't have any 1716 01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:18,839 Speaker 2: idea what the department is internal affairs. We all understand 1717 01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:22,519 Speaker 2: it anyway, So Brooke asn't Van Velden, who's in charge 1718 01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:24,320 Speaker 2: of that, said let's get this sorted out. So they 1719 01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:26,439 Speaker 2: come to her and this is literally you'd want to 1720 01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:30,080 Speaker 2: shoot them. They come to her instead of going yes sir, no, sir, 1721 01:23:30,160 --> 01:23:32,400 Speaker 2: three bags full, sir, we'll change our name back to 1722 01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:35,439 Speaker 2: the New Zealand or English way. First they come and say, 1723 01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:40,519 Speaker 2: this paper sets out four options. Four options for what 1724 01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:43,960 Speaker 2: advised to consider relevant guidance set out in the Mari 1725 01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:47,479 Speaker 2: Language Act of twenty sixteen, note the current Waitangi Tribunal 1726 01:23:47,560 --> 01:23:50,320 Speaker 2: urgent inquiry into the use of Terreo in the public sector, 1727 01:23:50,600 --> 01:23:54,080 Speaker 2: blah blah blah. And then they go an estimate this 1728 01:23:54,120 --> 01:23:57,439 Speaker 2: would require at least fifty hours of their time to 1729 01:23:57,560 --> 01:24:00,479 Speaker 2: change it all fifty hours. So here are four options, 1730 01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:03,280 Speaker 2: and by the way, it's going to take fifty hours 1731 01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:07,520 Speaker 2: of our time, Brooks. Having none of that, I instructed 1732 01:24:07,520 --> 01:24:11,040 Speaker 2: the department to change its branding and communications to English first, 1733 01:24:11,360 --> 01:24:13,640 Speaker 2: to make it easier for New Zealanders to interact with 1734 01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:16,479 Speaker 2: the department. However, I also made it clear that I 1735 01:24:16,600 --> 01:24:20,320 Speaker 2: disagreed with the time and cost estimate, suggesting I could 1736 01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:24,200 Speaker 2: do this myself on Photoshop for nearly zero. So these 1737 01:24:24,240 --> 01:24:26,519 Speaker 2: are the kind of dickheads who want to come in 1738 01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:29,760 Speaker 2: and waste your time and they're running an agenda, and 1739 01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:32,559 Speaker 2: you know they're running an agenda. The department agreed the 1740 01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:35,120 Speaker 2: cost could drop, and I understand its cost less than 1741 01:24:35,160 --> 01:24:39,160 Speaker 2: a thousand dollars. A spokesman for the department actually came 1742 01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:41,040 Speaker 2: up with the cost in the end, So instead of 1743 01:24:41,040 --> 01:24:43,080 Speaker 2: the fifty hours worth of nonsense, it came in at 1744 01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:46,960 Speaker 2: seven hundred and forty one dollars plus gist. See, and 1745 01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:48,640 Speaker 2: now they got it back to the way it should be. 1746 01:24:48,720 --> 01:24:51,120 Speaker 2: And so if you had to deal with that every 1747 01:24:51,160 --> 01:24:56,160 Speaker 2: single day, you'd be over it in five minutes, wouldn't you. 1748 01:24:56,200 --> 01:24:57,760 Speaker 2: I mean, who wants to get into politics when you're 1749 01:24:57,760 --> 01:25:00,280 Speaker 2: dealing with that sort of nonsense? Ten to nine The 1750 01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:03,760 Speaker 2: Mic Hosking Breakfast with rainfrow bun use togs dead b. 1751 01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:06,360 Speaker 2: Now the old saying goes, you should work smarter, not harder, 1752 01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:08,479 Speaker 2: of course, but a question for yourself, is the credit 1753 01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:10,400 Speaker 2: card helping you do that? Is it a well? The 1754 01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:13,040 Speaker 2: American Express Airpoints Platinum card.

Because when you have an American Express Airpoints 1761 01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:30,680 Speaker 2: Platinum card, you can be safe in the knowledge that 1762 01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:33,120 Speaker 2: particular credit card is working harder for you even when 1763 01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:35,840 Speaker 2: you're relaxing.

So I gave you yesterday the Australian 1773 01:26:07,160 --> 01:26:09,320 Speaker 2: numbers and how everyone's not going to America and they're 1774 01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:13,920 Speaker 2: all going to Asia.
