1 00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:04,360 Speaker 1: Pressing the newspakers to get the real story. 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,400 Speaker 2: It's Francesca Runkan on Heather Duplicy Alan Drive with One 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 2: New Zealand. 4 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,400 Speaker 1: Let's get connected, news folk. 5 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 3: Said, be. 6 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 4: Good evening, Welcome to Friday on Heather U Policy Alan Drive. 7 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 4: I'm Francesca Budkin filling in for Heather. Heather. We'll be 8 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 4: back with you on Monday. On the show Today, Energy 9 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 4: Minister Simeon Brown joins us to talk about how he 10 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 4: expects the Electricity Authority to get more competitive in an 11 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 4: effort to curb electricity prices. One New Zealand has been 12 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,599 Speaker 4: given the go ahead to start testing their Starlink satellite 13 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,880 Speaker 4: to mobile service Here in New Zealand. We find out 14 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 4: when it will be up and running and migration figures 15 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 4: they're not good here. We's are leaving in record numbers. 16 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 4: More on this after five Francesca so. In April last year, 17 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 4: it was announced New Zealand as living in Australia suddenly 18 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 4: afforded similar rights to Australians who live in New Zealand 19 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 4: when it comes to having a pathway to citizenship. The 20 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 4: change meant that from the first of July twenty twenty three, 21 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 4: New Zealanders who have lived in Aussie for four years 22 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 4: on temporary or special category visas and met the standard 23 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 4: Australian citizenship criteria, they could apply for citizenship. So kiwi's 24 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 4: who've been living in Australia since two thousand and one 25 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,919 Speaker 4: could apply directly for citizenship without gaining permanent residency. First, 26 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 4: Kwei children born in Australia will become citizens at birth 27 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 4: rather than waiting till late turn ten. It was a 28 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 4: game changer for kiwi's already living in Australia, but the 29 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 4: question of whether it would contribute to a brain drain 30 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 4: like the one we saw in twenty eleven and twenty 31 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 4: twelve was yet to be seen. Yeah, So, today Stats 32 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 4: New Zealand released their provisional data for annual migration figures 33 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 4: for the year ending in August. Migrant arrivals were down 34 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 4: seventeen percent to one hundred and eighty eighty one hundred, 35 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 4: But the surprising figure in all this was the number 36 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 4: of migrant departures, which was up twoty seven percent to 37 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 4: one hundred and thirty four thousand. Out of those one 38 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 4: hundred and thirty four thousand departures, eighty one thousand, two 39 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 4: hundred of them were Kiwi citizens. That figure one hundred 40 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 4: and thirty four thousand, I think it was one hundred 41 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,559 Speaker 4: and thirty four thousand, three hundred migrant departures is provisionally 42 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 4: the highest on record for an annual period. This is 43 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 4: not good news. So yeah, those new regulations in Australia 44 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 4: probably did have an impact, or at least act as 45 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 4: a tipping point that has sent some Kiwis on their way. 46 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 4: In the year ending March twenty twenty four, fifty three 47 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 4: percent of New Zealand citizen migrant departures were to Australia. 48 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 4: But of course they're not just heading off to Australia, 49 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 4: They're going everywhere post COVID. The pressure has been on 50 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 4: the Government of the day to convince people New Zealand 51 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 4: is a great place to live and work, not just 52 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 4: to keep talented Kiwis at home or encourage them to return, 53 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 4: but to attract the men any skilled workers we currently 54 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 4: need at a time when the rest of the world 55 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 4: is in pursuit of those same workers. This has not 56 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 4: been achieved. The net migration gain in the last year 57 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 4: to the end of August was fifty three eight hundred 58 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 4: it was down sharply on the gain of around just 59 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 4: over sixty seven thousand for the July year. Economists are 60 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 4: concerned this may lead to zero net migration next year, 61 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 4: which could impact the economy's actual and potential growth rates, 62 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 4: the balance of our labor market pressures expect, the tax take, 63 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 4: and of course the housing market. I don't know how 64 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 4: to convince someone who sees a better job, a better income, 65 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 4: a better lifestyle somewhere else to stay. Providing them with 66 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 4: the same or close opportunity here in New Zealand is 67 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 4: most likely the only solution to the discontent that has 68 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 4: settled over the country. But how likely is that? The 69 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 4: government is working hard to get this country back on track, 70 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 4: and it could hardly work faster. But it is going 71 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 4: to take time. I'll tell you what, though, the government 72 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 4: will be hoping this is as bad as these figures 73 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 4: get and a turnaround is on the horizon for those 74 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 4: of us still here. I certainly hope so, Francesca. So 75 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 4: we are going to be talking a little bit more 76 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 4: about these migration figures after five. I'd love to hear 77 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 4: from you if you've got a solution as how we 78 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 4: keep talented kiwis in this country, or we attract the 79 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 4: skilled workers. It seems we've kind of operated the leavers 80 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 4: that we can to bring in the people that we 81 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,239 Speaker 4: need in things. But this is a really, really slippery slope, 82 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 4: and of course people are leaving because they are not 83 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 4: happy with the state of the economy. And if we 84 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 4: do not get this immigration situation sorted out, that economy 85 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 4: is going to struggle to grow. So keen to hear 86 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 4: your thoughts. You can text on ninety two ninety two. 87 00:04:58,839 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: Right. 88 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 4: Two months ago, Auckland appeared ready to change the rubbish 89 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 4: collection to a fortnightly service, but now counselors have voted 90 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 4: to trial the change in instead of implementing it or 91 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 4: retaining the weekly service. So Angela Dalton is counselor for 92 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 4: Manyoea Pupacorda a Ward and voted in support of the trial. 93 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 4: Angela joins me, now, good afternoon. Oh hang on, we're 94 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 4: just getting Angela. Yes she is. Hi, Angela, Hi, Francesca, 95 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 4: sorry about that. You support You supported the trial? Why 96 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 4: did you vote for it? What did you want to 97 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 4: see come out of it? 98 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 5: I think the trial is a really good opportunity to 99 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 5: test out how a fortnightly collection will go across Auckland, 100 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 5: so selecting parts of Auckland that can be measured as 101 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 5: to the success. I think the important thing for me 102 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 5: has been able to target the households who are struggling 103 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 5: with weekly collections and just find out why that is. 104 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 5: There's lots of alternatives for households that are struggling with 105 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 5: their rubbish collections. This will be a good time to 106 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 5: see what the issue is, what. 107 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 4: Kind of alternatives. 108 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 5: There's about fourteen options of different types of bin choices 109 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,799 Speaker 5: for people. There's three different red lid bins. If people 110 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 5: need a bigger bin, because I'm saying it's a small 111 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 5: bin that's being propped open with the red lips propped 112 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 5: open with rubbish, you know that those people need a 113 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 5: bigger bin. Do they need toibins? Are they using the 114 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 5: recycling then? Do they need to food waste bins? So 115 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 5: there are options for people who are struggling if it 116 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 5: is just with the one red bin. I think getting 117 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 5: a closer look at that is going to be really 118 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 5: helpful through the trial process. 119 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 4: Do you think the community is ready for fortnightly collection. 120 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 5: No, they said they weren't. Having said that it was 121 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 5: pretty split, so fifty. You know, it's pretty split. So 122 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 5: half of Auckland does and half of Auckland doesn't. So 123 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 5: let's not not do it because half don't. Let's give 124 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 5: it a try and let's see if we can. You know, 125 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 5: if it will work. And this will not start until 126 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 5: twenty twenty six. 127 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 4: You know just what you've explained to me, then, Angela, 128 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 4: it makes so much makes me relax a little bit 129 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 4: more about the whole thing, because I'm probably one of 130 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 4: those Aucklanders who wasn't quite ready to go a fortnightly collection. 131 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 4: But the minute you say you know what, there can 132 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 4: be alternatives. You need to work out what you need. 133 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 4: You might need a bigger bin or two pins, so 134 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 4: there are those options. Does it change what we would 135 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 4: then pay in your rates or would it still be 136 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:42,119 Speaker 4: a set fee? 137 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 5: Well, the different bins come at a different cost per 138 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 5: a year. I think what we could do, and I'm 139 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 5: not probably we're going to do this, but I think 140 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 5: what we could and should do is upgrade that then 141 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 5: at no cost, because at the moment it would cost 142 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 5: forty dollars for someone to upgrade their bin. So let's 143 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 5: see if we can just get that bin to them 144 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 5: for free. And the variance across Auckland. We do have 145 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 5: people contacting us at want a monthly collection, to the 146 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 5: point where it's something we want to seriously look at. 147 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 5: Where we do have people that do only need a 148 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 5: four weekly collection and that will be our rates decrease 149 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 5: for them. And I think we need to meet the 150 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 5: needs of all Aucklanders and this the trial, I think 151 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 5: is really going to help us home and on what 152 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 5: that is. 153 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 4: And I'd like to thank the elderly ladies who live 154 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 4: next to me Angela, who very sweetly occasionally tell me 155 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 4: that I can use their empty bin. There we go, 156 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 4: and that's what happens. Right. You can have one person 157 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 4: living alone, then you can have a family of eight, 158 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 4: you know, so it is quite different. We should be 159 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 4: we should be making sure we cater to everybody fairly. 160 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 4: I feel like we're going to need some education on 161 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 4: rubbish sorting before we just take the collection away, because 162 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 4: I wonder whether people if they go, Okay, I've got 163 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 4: this red bin, it's every two weeks, I'm just going 164 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 4: to put a little bit more stuff in recycle linger I'm. 165 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 5: Going to Okay, Yeah, that's what happens. But we're some 166 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 5: amazing local community organizations. I've got one out my way 167 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 5: called Talking Trash and they work with those families and 168 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 5: those households and they soon get them sorting out the 169 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:21,479 Speaker 5: you know, their recycling from their waste, redbin waste and 170 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 5: their food waste. So it is you're absolutely right, it's 171 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 5: about education. I'm not the best in myself. Don't hold 172 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 5: me up as a model recycler, but you know I 173 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 5: do my bit, and that's the big thing with what 174 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 5: we're trying to do. We're in the twelfth year of 175 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 5: our waste plan waste management plan to achieve the targets 176 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 5: set by central government, so it's not council coming up 177 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 5: with a great idea out of the ear. We have 178 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 5: transitioned our way here. So part of that was implementing 179 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 5: the community recycling centers. That's been a huge game danger 180 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 5: for communities in terms of their recycling. We did take 181 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 5: away for an organic in the streets to make it 182 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 5: on within the household area. And there also has been 183 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 5: a big change in terms of making sure that we're 184 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 5: getting the right rubbish through the right recycling places. So 185 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 5: lots of steps and fortnightly rubbish collections for the next 186 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 5: cave off the rank didn't fly, so let's go with 187 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 5: a trial and see if we can get that. 188 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, it sounds like a good idea. Angela, thank you 189 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 4: so much for your time. That was all COLLINGD counselor 190 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 4: Angela Dalton. You know, look, I've got my worms are 191 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 4: compost I'm very good at recycling. But there was just 192 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 4: there's just something about when someone mentions fortnightly rubbish collections. 193 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 4: I just bristle and I'm just like, I just know 194 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 4: that it's too hard, and I'm going to be really 195 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 4: honest it is. It's just too hard. I'm being pathetic. 196 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 4: But then you hear Angela and you say, we look, 197 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 4: we're going to make sure there's lots of options for people. 198 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 4: We're not going to let We're not going to say 199 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 4: to you you have to just stick with your little 200 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 4: bin for two weeks. There are options. So then I 201 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 4: just calm down again. Gay to hear from you on 202 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 4: this ninety two ninety two is the text Stas and 203 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 4: Pine is next talking sport.

I've 216 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 6: actually got some longs on at the moment, you know, 217 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 6: being a Friday and everything. Ah yeah, bit old, isn't it? 218 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 6: You and I speaking on a Friday afternoon, But here 219 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 6: we are. 220 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 4: I think I didn't realize that you didn't dress formally 221 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 4: for me in the weekend. Anyway, America's Cap is underway. 222 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 4: I am actually really excited, to be honest. IVE pretty 223 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 4: much ignored the tournament, the regatta up till now. But 224 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 4: we're at the pointy end and I'm really hoping these 225 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 4: races are close and exciting and I'm all in. 226 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,719 Speaker 6: I think you've spoken for most of us. I think 227 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 6: that basically sums up how we all feel. It's kind 228 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 6: of hard to get invested in it when it's a 229 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 6: in the middle of the night and B we're not 230 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 6: in it yet. But now that we are in it 231 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 6: and the actual America's Cup race itself or races plural, 232 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 6: have arrived, I think there'll be a much greater investment. 233 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 6: The one o'clock in the morning thing is still nigli 234 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 6: to a lot of people that you know, most people 235 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 6: are doing other things at that time, most notably sleeping. 236 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 6: So it's I think a lot of people may wake 237 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 6: up in the morning and check how it went. But 238 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 6: as it goes, and if it's tight, like you say, 239 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 6: and if it's exciting racing, then I think people will 240 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 6: be setting their arms and maybe getting up and having 241 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 6: a look at it during during the nocturnal hours. Yeah, 242 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 6: I think there's still a school of thought that we 243 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 6: shouldn't be defending offshore, but that ship has probably sailed, 244 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 6: if that's the right thing to say. 245 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 3: So. 246 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, but I think, you know, you think back to 247 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 6: the previous America's Cup campaigns and we've got right in 248 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 6: behind them. Let's hope it's the same with this one. 249 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 6: But I'm I'm not entirely sure that it will be. 250 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 4: I think it is time to sort of put aside 251 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 4: where it's hold, how it's run all that. Now it's 252 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 4: you know, it's okay, you're allowed to be sort of 253 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,079 Speaker 4: late to the party, but you're going to skip behind 254 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 4: the team. 255 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:12,719 Speaker 7: Zell. 256 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 4: My teenagers have this belief that there is no point 257 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 4: watching sport unless you watch it live. That is the 258 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 4: whole point it is to watch it life knowing it 259 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,599 Speaker 4: has happened right then and there, which I mean, I 260 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 4: take a much more sensible approach to these things. I 261 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 4: will not be getting up at one o'clock in the morning. 262 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 4: I'm more than happy to get up at wake up 263 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 4: at seven, not look at my phone. 264 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 8: You know. 265 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 6: So you're gonna try and what You're gonna watch it 266 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 6: without knowing the results. And I'm with your teenagers. I 267 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 6: can't do that either. I just because I know, I 268 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,719 Speaker 6: know that it's not happening right then and there, and 269 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 6: if I wanted to, I could check my phone and 270 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 6: find out what was going on. But look, I respect 271 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 6: the you know, the the compromise you make on your 272 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 6: sleeping patterns and things like that, but I'm a bit 273 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 6: the same. If I'm gonna watch it, I'll watch it live. 274 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 6: It's a bit like rate your test you know, yeah, 275 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 6: I can. 276 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 4: It just frustrates me. I'm like, no, no, no, let's all 277 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 4: watch it together. We'll just pre record. It's in the 278 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 4: middle of the night watching football and Formula One and 279 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 4: I'm just like, I don't get it. Just don't look 280 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 4: at your phone, get up, turn it on, watch the 281 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 4: replay off. 282 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 8: You go. 283 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 6: Well, if any of my kids, if my kids are 284 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 6: anything to go by, they won't be paying any attention 285 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 6: to you, so you know, they'll probably just do what 286 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 6: they do. 287 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 4: MPC quarter finals are underway. The sevening Wellington for his 288 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 4: counties YEP. 289 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 6: Wellington County is the first of four quarter finals. The 290 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 6: home side should win. Wellington Bay have plenty Tallannucky and 291 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 6: Tasman over the next three days. If there is an upset, 292 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 6: it might even come tonight. Counties Manecow beat Wellington a 293 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 6: couple of weeks ago by fifty points. Maybe that was 294 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 6: an aberration. I don't know. Camroy Guard will play for 295 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 6: Counties Manicout tonight and t J Peninada will play his 296 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 6: final final final game on New Zealand soil when he 297 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 6: starts for Wellington, so the two half backs are kind 298 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 6: of front and centers. Tonight, I think Wellington should win, 299 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 6: but if there is an upset there it may come 300 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 6: tonight at sky Stadium. 301 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 4: Thank you so much, Piney, I look forward to talking 302 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 4: to you on Sunday.

Francisca, I do not believe 319 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 4: that half of Auckland want fortnightly collections. Also, does it 320 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 4: mean a reduction in our rates? Yes, the different sized 321 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 4: bins will make a difference. Stupid idea. All these options 322 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 4: just end up accosting us money.

Fortunately it wasn't 407 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 14: as dire situation as a lot of the folks that 408 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 14: were looking at this before it struck Florida were predicting. 409 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 14: And that's a good thing. But having said that, it 410 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 14: did cause quite a mess as it sort of marched 411 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,959 Speaker 14: through you know, that part of Florida near the Gulf Coast. 412 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 14: Most of the damage was because of flooding, although there 413 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 14: was an expected surge in the Tampa Bay area that 414 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 14: did not happen. Fortunately that would have been absolutely catastrophic. 415 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 14: But there were nonetheless flooding in some other areas as 416 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 14: the hurricane diminished in strength, but again, you know, moved 417 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 14: through Florida and eventually exited at the Atlantic Ocean. There 418 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 14: were some deaths, unfortunately, not as many as initially feared, 419 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 14: and interestingly, most of them on the east coast of Florida, 420 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 14: and because of tornadoes, tornadoes that were formed as the 421 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 14: hurricane was actually approaching the west coast of Florida. So 422 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 14: that is what ended up happening. The Governor of Florida 423 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 14: has said, you know that it is not as bad 424 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 14: a situation as they hope, but nonetheless it is going 425 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 14: to take quite some time to get homes rebuilt, to 426 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,239 Speaker 14: get the water, you know, back to normal levels. Some 427 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 14: three million plus residents, i should point out in that 428 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 14: state are still without electrical power because the electric lines, 429 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 14: of course were knocked down by either the winds or 430 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 14: because of the floods. 431 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 4: Charles Biden has lashed out at Trump's response to the hurricanes. 432 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 14: Yes, he has, I mean former President Trump has been 433 00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 14: saying untruthfully. I should add that FEMA money. FEMA is 434 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 14: the federal agency here that basically supplies the personnel and 435 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 14: the money to help people in catastrophic situations like floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, 436 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,400 Speaker 14: that sort of thing. Trump has been claiming that money 437 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 14: that should have gone to help people from this hurricane 438 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 14: Milton and the one that struck that area only a 439 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 14: couple of weeks back, lean that that money had been 440 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 14: diverted and it was being given to illegal immigrants. None 441 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 14: of that is true, by the way, And in fact, 442 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 14: there is money that's given to people who are immigrants 443 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 14: coming into the US, but it's this totally different pool 444 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 14: of money, so it had nothing to do with the 445 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 14: pot that's available to help people citizens when they have 446 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 14: catastrophic occurrences. So to sort of counter these untruths that 447 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 14: mister Trump has been saying at his campaign rallies, yeah, 448 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 14: Biden has said that that kind of talk is not helpful, 449 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 14: that it's patriotic, and at one point, I believe said 450 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 14: of Trump that he should get a life child. 451 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 4: Some good news in Colorado, where there's been this terrible 452 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 4: accident at a former gold mine that is now a 453 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 4: tourist attraction. 454 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 14: Yeah, there were twelve people who were just actually within 455 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:27,199 Speaker 14: the past hour or so, rescued from that elevator. And 456 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 14: you're right, a lot of people may be baffled by 457 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 14: why people would be in an elevator one thousand feet 458 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 14: beneath the surface of the earth. And the reason is 459 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 14: that Colorado, the state of Colorado, is dotted with these 460 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 14: abandoned gold mines, most of which were founded back in 461 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 14: the eighteen hundreds. Well, of course, now what do you 462 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 14: do with an abandoned gold mine, Well you turn it 463 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 14: into a tourist attraction, and this was one of them. 464 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 14: People go for a one hour tour. Something happened to 465 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 14: that elevator. It is still unclear what exactly the neat 466 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 14: true that the incident was, except that for several hours, 467 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 14: about twelve people were trapped. One person unfortunately died as 468 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 14: a result of this incident. But as you correctly point out, 469 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 14: now everybody is back on the surface. And my understanding 470 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 14: is that we're given a reward, if you want to 471 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 14: call it, that of pizza. 472 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 4: As you do just what you want, have to be 473 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 4: trapped underground exactly you want a pizza. Thank you so much, Charles. 474 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 4: Really nice to talk to you. That was our US correspondent. 475 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 4: Up next politics, it's quarter to five. 476 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 2: Politics with Centrics Credit, check your customers and get payments certainty. 477 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 4: And joining us now from Lasos.

I was in the room for 489 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 15: the opening remarks and Mody spoke to Luxen through a 490 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 15: translator saying it was a pleasure to finally meet him 491 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 15: and talk through some important issues, and he later invited 492 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 15: Luxon to visit him in India, a visit that, as 493 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,959 Speaker 15: we discuss, would be critical to Luckson's goal of a 494 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 15: free trade agreement this term. Luxon said he and Mody 495 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 15: did actually discuss a free trade agreement in this meeting, 496 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 15: and he said Mody was keen to progress trade connections further. 497 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 15: The pair appeared quite close at last night's gala dinner, 498 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 15: and Luxon made a bit of a beeline for Mody 499 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 15: at the East Asia Summit, which began about an hour ago. 500 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 15: So Luson says there actually is quite warm and genuine 501 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 15: connection between the pair. Now, there was also another really 502 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 15: interesting first time meeting ahead of this sit down with Mody. 503 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 15: This one slightly more impromptu, was a handshake between Chris 504 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 15: Lukhin and new Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Shiba, and Luxon 505 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:23,719 Speaker 15: shukar Shiba's hand and congratulated him on recently becoming prime minister. 506 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 4: What's on the agenda for the summit meeting tonight. 507 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,199 Speaker 15: Yeah, so that's happening as we speak, Francesca. Obviously, the 508 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 15: East Asia Summit is the reason we are all here 509 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,919 Speaker 15: in Laos this week, and it's a really significant international 510 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 15: forum because, aside from the Asian partners who convened the summit. 511 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 15: There are quite a lot of major world powers here 512 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 15: as well, the US, China, Russia, India, And speaking to 513 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 15: Luxon earlier today, he says regional security will be really 514 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 15: high on the agenda, and he spoke about how connected 515 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 15: this is as well to New Zealand trade relationships. There 516 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 15: are tensions in the disputed era of the South China 517 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 15: Sea for example, not to mention worries around North Korea's 518 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 15: nuclear and ballistic missile program, and conflict in this region 519 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 15: would have the potential to seriously disrupt, disrupt trade routes 520 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 15: that are really important to New Zealand. So this makes 521 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 15: peace in the region not only critical for reasons of security, 522 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 15: but also for economic reasons. So, as I mentioned, this 523 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 15: meeting is taking place as we speak, and will be 524 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 15: interested to perhaps here a bit from lux And afterwards 525 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 15: about what might have been raised. 526 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 4: And Sophie Win, does the summit wrap up? 527 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 11: It should? 528 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 15: It should be wrapping up within within a few hours, right, Well, 529 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 15: wheels off home to home to New Zealand. 530 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 4: Shortly Thikidoki and look talking about hitting back home. Immigration 531 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 4: numbers out today they're pretty grim. What's the government's response been, yeah, 532 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 4: that's right. 533 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 15: The numbers that have come out today show that more 534 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 15: people are moving out of New Zealand than ever before. 535 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 15: I think it was an annual net migration gain of 536 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,880 Speaker 15: nearly fifty four thousand people in the year to August. 537 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 15: So definitely not what the government will be wanting. And 538 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 15: when we spoke to Chris Luxon about this, he says 539 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 15: he is trying to build the kind of New Zealand 540 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 15: where people see a future for themselves and their kids, 541 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 15: growing the economy and providing better public services. 542 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 4: And he also says a big part. 543 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 15: Of growing the economy and making New Zealand a better 544 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 15: place to be long term is harnessing those international ties 545 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 15: establishing strong trade links, which is part of what he's 546 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 15: doing here in Southeast Asia this week, and he also 547 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 15: talked a bit about this when addressing the Business and 548 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 15: Investment Summit last night, where he made a keynote address. 549 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 15: Luxon spoke about promoting New Zealand is a great place 550 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 15: to work and travel, as well as putting out a 551 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 15: bit of a call for investors to perhaps consider New 552 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 15: Zealand for their next ventures. 553 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 4: Might take a bit more than that, though, Sophie. 554 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: That's true, that's true. 555 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 15: But yeah, Luxon says that he's very focused on he 556 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 15: believes we'll keep people in New Zealand and building the 557 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 15: economy and sort of bolstering those public services. He says 558 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 15: other things that the government's doing to keep more people 559 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 15: in New Zealand. So we'll have to wait and see 560 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 15: as to you know, if these numbers start to turn 561 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 15: around in the coming years. 562 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 4: Sophie, thank you very much for your time today.

The answer to his question is, well, 578 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 3: you should have got your mate Graham to be under 579 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 3: much greater control three or four years ago, and maybe 580 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 3: we wouldn't be having to make these sorts of decisions. 581 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 13: Back Monday, from six am, the Mike asking Breakfast with 582 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 13: the rain drove of the lawn News talk. 583 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 4: ZB thank you for your feedback.

You know, if the user 589 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 4: pays is more obvious, it will make you think differently, 590 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 4: won't it. Mike was very kind and complimented on how 591 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 4: refreshing it was that I managed to make an interview 592 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 4: about rubbish collection interesting and positive.

And another text tier Francisca, why would skilled 605 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 4: migrants to New Zealand when recent governments have been promoting 606 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 4: two tiers of New Zealand citizenship. If your kids are 607 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 4: treated differently from a kid with a tiny bit of 608 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 4: multi blood, that's not equal opportunity and it's divisive. The 609 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 4: media refused to talk about this. Well, there you go, 610 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 4: I have read your text.

Obviously they're very very keen for people to 620 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 4: be investing in renewables, but actually how it might impact 621 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 4: you and I and things on a daily basis when 622 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 4: it comes to paying our bills.

That 649 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 18: the aultricy Authority needs to ensure that they are focused 650 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:37,839 Speaker 18: on competition, affordability and security of supply and that they're 651 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 18: not focused on what type of fuel is actually being used. 652 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 18: We've been very clear as a governments that actually we 653 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 18: want to keep the lights on and that means they 654 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 18: need to make sure the market is operating in a 655 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,800 Speaker 18: competitive way to deliver that affordable energy to New Zealanders. 656 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:56,720 Speaker 4: So those expectations are the competitive, good, supply and affordability. 657 00:34:56,120 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 18: Right, That's correct, That's the key focus to govern was 658 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 18: focused on. Under the last government, they were pursuing significant 659 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,320 Speaker 18: interventions into the ultriacy markets, such as the Lake Honslow 660 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 18: scheme they were making. They were at a policy of 661 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 18: one hundred percent renewable energy by twenty thirty, which would 662 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,360 Speaker 18: have caught the country billions of dollars to try and achieve. 663 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 18: We've been direct clear, we're full agnostic. We know that 664 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,760 Speaker 18: there is going to be more renewable generation becoming online. However, 665 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 18: the altricty Authority's role is to focus on competition, security 666 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 18: of supply and reliability for consumers rather than what type 667 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 18: of fuel is being consumed. 668 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:43,320 Speaker 4: Yes, of course, reliability apologies. How does the electricity authority 669 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 4: therefore enforce these expectations that you've put on them? 670 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 18: So the government sets the policy direction and that is 671 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 18: what we've done today. The ultricity authorities is required to 672 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 18: have regard to that as they make decisions in regards 673 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 18: to the code. They play a really important role in 674 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 18: terms of regulating the market. There's a lot that they need, 675 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 18: they have that they need to do in terms of 676 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 18: responding to this. We want to see more distributed forms 677 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 18: of energy able to participate in the market. We want 678 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 18: to see more competition in the wholesale market. They'll have that. 679 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 18: They have the role of regulating participants to do that, 680 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,320 Speaker 18: but also it's about setting a clear expectation to wholesale 681 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 18: participants that they need to manage their risks more appropriately. 682 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,760 Speaker 18: What we saw this year with the wholesale wholesale price 683 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 18: being eight hundred dollars a mega what now for many 684 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 18: for a number of weeks through August was unacceptable. We 685 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:38,839 Speaker 18: need to make sure the fuel is in the right 686 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 18: place to manage those dry year risks, rather than that 687 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 18: risk being externalized out into key households and businesses. That's 688 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,240 Speaker 18: unacceptable and our message is very clear to the OCTUS, 689 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 18: the authority, and to wholesale participants that that risk needs 690 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 18: to be better managed to ensure that keey households and 691 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 18: businesses aren't facing the brunt of those high prices. 692 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 4: As a household. When can I expect to see the 693 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 4: impact of this GPS. 694 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,920 Speaker 18: Well, Ultimately, this is about setting our expectations clear. The 695 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 18: regulator now has to put a work program together around 696 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,840 Speaker 18: how they intend to give effect to it. They have 697 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 18: regard to it, they will be There's a number of 698 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,359 Speaker 18: changes that they need to continue to evolve as there's 699 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 18: different forms of becoming online. Ultimately, this is about our 700 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 18: expectations so that the market is operating more competitively to 701 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,840 Speaker 18: deliver that those prices to consumers. In terms of the 702 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 18: impactful consumers, we're obviously very clear that the electricity Authority 703 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 18: has to be very focused on next winter. Next winter 704 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 18: is looking like a very tight winter again like this winter. 705 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 18: So acting now in terms of making sure that wholesale 706 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:55,840 Speaker 18: participants are managing those risks, rather than those risks being 707 00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 18: coming to fruition in the middle of winter. They need 708 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 18: to be managed before Christmas in terms of making sure 709 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 18: the fuel is there in the right places, rather than 710 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,760 Speaker 18: us entering next winter with those risks in place. 711 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,200 Speaker 4: So then you would expect next winter the market has 712 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 4: reacted and we can all enjoy more competitive affordable power prices. 713 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,440 Speaker 18: Well, ultimately, you know, the outlook for next winter is 714 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 18: concerning in terms of there is significant risks in place 715 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,759 Speaker 18: in terms of you know what we saw this year 716 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:31,720 Speaker 18: around low hydro inflows, low wind. Some of the forecasts 717 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 18: are concerning again for next winter. But what our message 718 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,640 Speaker 18: is to the ultrot Authority and to the market participants 719 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,960 Speaker 18: is that those risks need to be managed ahead of 720 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 18: entering winter rather than being managed during winter. And I'll 721 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 18: give you an example around you know, we had a 722 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:53,319 Speaker 18: twenty percent reduction in gas supply this year and that's 723 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 18: a number of reasons behind it, including the last government's 724 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,440 Speaker 18: ban on ail and gas exploration. But the key issue 725 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 18: was that that gas wasn't you know methdex is the 726 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 18: largest user of gas, that that gas has been used 727 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,359 Speaker 18: to make meth at all, rather than put into eltricity market, 728 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 18: and that deal wasn't done until the middle of August 729 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 18: to actually ensure that was being made available to produce eletricity. 730 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 18: Those type of arrangements in making sure the fuel's in 731 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:23,319 Speaker 18: the right place, those conversations and those arrangements need to 732 00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,400 Speaker 18: be sorted ahead of time. Risks need to be managed. 733 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,799 Speaker 18: Securio supply to be mentioned in the long term, not 734 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,399 Speaker 18: just the short term, so that consumers and businesses aren't 735 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 18: put in those risky positions as we saw this year. 736 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,279 Speaker 4: Minister, if you wouldn't mind, would you mind taking your 737 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 4: energy hat off and just putting your local government hat 738 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 4: on just for a quick moment. What did you think 739 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 4: about Wellington City Council's decision on the airport shares yesterday? 740 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,400 Speaker 4: Do you think the Government will end up intervening? 741 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,360 Speaker 18: Well, look, I think it's concerning. Ultimately it's a significant 742 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:55,400 Speaker 18: decision to make a significant what it's a significant change, 743 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 18: will repose change to their long term plan my concerns 744 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 18: for Wellington rate payers and the potential impact this may 745 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,400 Speaker 18: have on their rates bills. They've already received one of 746 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 18: the highest rates bills in the country and so look, 747 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,760 Speaker 18: the Government's keeping an eye on what's happening here. Councils 748 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 18: are able to amend their long term plans, but what 749 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 18: I would say is this is concerning. It is a 750 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 18: significant change. I'm concerned about what the impact it will 751 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 18: have on Wellington rate payers who are wanting to have 752 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,040 Speaker 18: a council which is focused on making long term decisions 753 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,880 Speaker 18: and actually sticking to them rather than constantly changing their minds. 754 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,319 Speaker 4: Energy Minister Simon Brown, thank you very much for your time. 755 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,239 Speaker 4: I appreciate it. Coming up later this hour, we have 756 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 4: got the sports huddle and Rafa Nadahal has, at the 757 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,759 Speaker 4: age of thirty eight, finally confirmed that he's going to 758 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 4: retire from professional tennis after the Davis Cup Finals in 759 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:50,799 Speaker 4: Spain this November twenty two time Grand Slam winner, he 760 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 4: has finally called it quits on his amazing career and 761 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,080 Speaker 4: I think it's going to be quite emotional because who 762 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:56,359 Speaker 4: doesn't like this guy? 763 00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:56,719 Speaker 1: Right? 764 00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 4: I don't think it's been a huge surprise he's been 765 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,239 Speaker 4: struggling with injuries. Has n he's been recovered from his 766 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:05,080 Speaker 4: hip operation. But I think it's great that he's announced it. 767 00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 4: Now everyone can celebrate him and things. But I feel 768 00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:09,799 Speaker 4: that there's a real end to an era, and I'm 769 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 4: keen to talk to the sports Huddle about this nearer 770 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,360 Speaker 4: the end of the hour as well, because of course 771 00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:21,839 Speaker 4: there was the Big three Federer, Djokovic, and Nadel, and 772 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 4: Federer retired a couple of years ago. Novak Djokovic is 773 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 4: still out there performing and now raf is gone. Federa 774 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 4: was quite serious, wasn't he. The Darl's just a bit kookie, 775 00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,360 Speaker 4: and Raffa was just the one we all loved. He 776 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 4: just kind of came across as a nice guy. I'm 777 00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 4: pretty sure there's a lot more to his legacy than 778 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,520 Speaker 4: just being a nice guy. So the sports Huddle will 779 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,919 Speaker 4: cover it off later this hour. It is fifteen past five. 780 00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,120 Speaker 4: Choice is good, isn't it? At least that's what we've 781 00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,280 Speaker 4: all been told. But if you're anything like me, sometimes 782 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 4: too much choice can be overwhelming, especially when you're a 783 00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,399 Speaker 4: small business with one thousand and one decisions to make. 784 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 4: So to make life a little easier, One New Zealand 785 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,360 Speaker 4: have created two brilliantly simple broadband plans that take the 786 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 4: hassle out of keeping your business connected.

Team New 800 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:57,000 Speaker 4: Zealand take on the British team of Ineosprtania with the 801 00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:01,200 Speaker 4: first to win seven races crowned champions. Mark Orham's is 802 00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,759 Speaker 4: a sailing professor and commentator from a ut and he 803 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,080 Speaker 4: joins me, now, good evening, evening. Do you think people 804 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 4: are genuinely excited about this event or not. 805 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 8: Well, certainly the sailing community is, but I think it'll 806 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 8: take a little bit of time to build up for 807 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,840 Speaker 8: those people who perhaps are a little bit late to 808 00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,279 Speaker 8: get on board. As we move through this America's Cup 809 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 8: and we start to draw towards a conclusion, I think 810 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,319 Speaker 8: the excitement will pull people in. 811 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,800 Speaker 4: You Well, now we're at the exciting end of the tournament. 812 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,479 Speaker 4: I'm definitely being pulled in. And I don't really care 813 00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 4: where it's held, how it's run, what the boats are. 814 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,520 Speaker 4: I'm just kind of I'm just sort of getting on board. 815 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,520 Speaker 4: Why should Kiwis care about it? It's not here in 816 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,279 Speaker 4: our backyard as a defense normally is. And I know 817 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,360 Speaker 4: that that's a bit of a sticking point. 818 00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:52,759 Speaker 8: For some Yeah, I can completely understand that. I don't 819 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:58,400 Speaker 8: think anybody would would be sort of in favor of 820 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,360 Speaker 8: it having it out of New Zeland. Really, this is 821 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,600 Speaker 8: the city of Sales and Auckland, and it would be 822 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 8: wonderful to be having it here, but it isn't, So 823 00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 8: we just have to get our heads around that. I 824 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,319 Speaker 8: think the thing to really focus on is that this 825 00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:17,279 Speaker 8: is New Zealand competing in a very high technology and 826 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:22,080 Speaker 8: an extremely high end sport that has a massive history 827 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:25,279 Speaker 8: that goes back over one hundred and fifty years, and 828 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,880 Speaker 8: what we are doing as a small maritime nation is 829 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,480 Speaker 8: competing at the very top end. In fact, dominating to 830 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:37,640 Speaker 8: New Zealand has been this century the most dominant team 831 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:42,400 Speaker 8: in this game. And remembering we're competing against nations that 832 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,560 Speaker 8: are not only much larger than ours, with deeper pockets, 833 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 8: but with a lot of technology that we don't have 834 00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,120 Speaker 8: access to. So thinking about the United States and outfits 835 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,920 Speaker 8: like NASA and companies like Bowing the UK and how 836 00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,960 Speaker 8: they're drawing on their Formula one expertise with any ospri 837 00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,360 Speaker 8: Cania and so on. So a little old New Zealand 838 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:06,680 Speaker 8: here piecing together an amazing legacy in the sport of sailing. 839 00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,040 Speaker 8: And when I talk to people from outside of New 840 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,760 Speaker 8: Zealand in the sport of sailing, they just shake their heads. 841 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,160 Speaker 8: They think, how do you do it? How can you 842 00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:19,560 Speaker 8: do something that these really large superpowers are not able 843 00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,239 Speaker 8: to do? And so it's something really special to be 844 00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,480 Speaker 8: proud of that we're able to not only compete, but 845 00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,680 Speaker 8: to dominate in this kind of way. 846 00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:31,120 Speaker 4: That's a great perspective on it, Mark, how much of 847 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,520 Speaker 4: an advantage do you think Emert's Team New Zealand have. 848 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,360 Speaker 4: They haven't raced intensely for weeks, like any ofs. I 849 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,759 Speaker 4: suppose it's got its pros and cons having that break. 850 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,720 Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely, And of course the Brits are race hardened. 851 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,320 Speaker 8: They've had eighteen races over the last months and hard 852 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,840 Speaker 8: close races too, so they are certainly very battle hardened, 853 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,480 Speaker 8: very race ready. Meanwhile, Emirates Team New Zealand's had no 854 00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:57,840 Speaker 8: racing at all, but what they have been able to 855 00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,680 Speaker 8: do is to watch very very careful, to analyze all 856 00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,319 Speaker 8: of the data coming off the boats, particularly with a 857 00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:08,680 Speaker 8: focus now on Aniospritannia, and to continue to develop TAI 858 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,320 Speaker 8: Hortos so that it can be as fast as possible. 859 00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,560 Speaker 8: And what they know is that in the history of 860 00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:17,600 Speaker 8: the America's Cup, the fastest spot always wins, so their 861 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,040 Speaker 8: focus is going to be certainly preparing as best they're 862 00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:23,120 Speaker 8: able for the racing, but making sure they're optimizing TI 863 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,319 Speaker 8: Hoto to be as quick as it possibly can be. 864 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,799 Speaker 8: And they've actually broken out some new equipment just in 865 00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,920 Speaker 8: the last few days that they'd be working on and 866 00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,759 Speaker 8: keept back in the shed until now, and some of 867 00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,799 Speaker 8: those I think are big steps forward. So the team 868 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,960 Speaker 8: will have a lot of confidence in the preparation they've 869 00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,800 Speaker 8: done for the boat, and then they'll build into the 870 00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 8: regatta as it gets underway. 871 00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,879 Speaker 4: So Ben Ainsley versus Berlin, do you think we'll see 872 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:47,600 Speaker 4: some niggle here? 873 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,680 Speaker 8: I don't think from Pete Berlin, he's a very very cool, 874 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:56,520 Speaker 8: calm character, fighter pilot like sort of calm and that 875 00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,960 Speaker 8: it doesn't seem to matter what's happening around him. He's unfaithed. 876 00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,319 Speaker 8: So Ben Ainsley's quite different. You know. He's an enormously 877 00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:08,120 Speaker 8: experienced and very very talented sailor, the most successful Olympic 878 00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,520 Speaker 8: sailor in history. But he's also somebody who I wouldn't 879 00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,800 Speaker 8: say is a hot head. But simmering under the surface 880 00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:18,080 Speaker 8: of that huge determination can sometimes be a bit of 881 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:22,000 Speaker 8: frustration that boils over into the if he doesn't get, 882 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:25,000 Speaker 8: for example, umpire calls that go his way, or a 883 00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,600 Speaker 8: mistake that's made, particularly if it's a mistake that he's 884 00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:32,320 Speaker 8: made personally. So there quite different personalities. Equally talented sailors, 885 00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:35,000 Speaker 8: no question, but quite different personalities. 886 00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:39,000 Speaker 4: Mike Alams thank you so much for your time, really appreciated. 887 00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:40,879 Speaker 4: It is twenty three past five. 888 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,040 Speaker 1: Newstalks that'd be digging deeper into the day's headlines. 889 00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:47,240 Speaker 2: It's Francesca Runkin on hand of Dupless the Island drive 890 00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,200 Speaker 2: with one New Zealand let's get connected us. 891 00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,680 Speaker 4: Dogs, that'd be I thank you very much for your feedback. 892 00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,800 Speaker 4: Just talking to Mark that surely that gets you a 893 00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,800 Speaker 4: bit more excited if you hadn't been excited already about 894 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,120 Speaker 4: the America's Cup. I do want to know if anyone's 895 00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:04,560 Speaker 4: gonna get up at one o'clock and watch it in 896 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:06,719 Speaker 4: the morning. I know my friend dave O will be 897 00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:08,879 Speaker 4: He's been following it intimately. I know he'll be watching, 898 00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,880 Speaker 4: and I know there's others of you. I'm just you know, 899 00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,040 Speaker 4: are you gonna jump on board now? I'm not going 900 00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:15,400 Speaker 4: to jump on board and get up at one in 901 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,520 Speaker 4: the morning, but I definitely will watch a little bit later. 902 00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:19,680 Speaker 4: Maria text to say, be hilarious if it ended up 903 00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,000 Speaker 4: in Europe because Grant Dalton took it away from New Zealand. 904 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:26,239 Speaker 4: I'm not sure it would be hilarious, Maria, but I 905 00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:30,719 Speaker 4: get the sentiment. Coming back to electricity, of course we're 906 00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:35,600 Speaker 4: just talking to Energy minister there Simeon Brown, who's yet Okay, 907 00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,360 Speaker 4: So I'm going to give him to next winter, because 908 00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,920 Speaker 4: that's what I wanted to know as a consumer. When 909 00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,000 Speaker 4: am I actually going to see an impact on the 910 00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:43,520 Speaker 4: measures that the government is trying to put on the 911 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:47,480 Speaker 4: electricity Authority? And I'm taking from that conversation that hopefully 912 00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:49,319 Speaker 4: we'll have some leavers in place. It will mean that 913 00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:53,000 Speaker 4: next winter might be looking a bit better. Total nonsense, 914 00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:55,719 Speaker 4: simon text to say we should have the cheapest electricity 915 00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:58,120 Speaker 4: in the world. Asset sales and privatization has been a 916 00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,919 Speaker 4: total failure. Re national Is it all now? 917 00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:01,600 Speaker 11: Hello? 918 00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:05,040 Speaker 4: For cheaper power bills. The government needs to change the 919 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,120 Speaker 4: law that enables all generators to charge the highest price 920 00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:11,000 Speaker 4: offered every half hour on the markets. Thank you very much, 921 00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,680 Speaker 4: and you're with News Talk ZB. We'll be back after headlines. 922 00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:21,520 Speaker 2: The day's newsweak is talk to Francesca First, Francesca Rudkin 923 00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,359 Speaker 2: on Heather Dup to see allan drive with One New 924 00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,880 Speaker 2: Zealand let's get connected news talk. 925 00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:27,120 Speaker 1: As it'd be. 926 00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:29,080 Speaker 14: He love me. 927 00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 4: And good to have you with us. We've been talking 928 00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:42,799 Speaker 4: quite a bit about the Prime minister's trip to the 929 00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:46,279 Speaker 4: East Asia Summit and about the fact that he met 930 00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:49,640 Speaker 4: with India's Prime minister, who has invited him to visit 931 00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:54,360 Speaker 4: India in the new year. This was quite big news, 932 00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:56,560 Speaker 4: and we're going to talk about this after six just 933 00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:58,879 Speaker 4: kind of get to the bottom of the significance of it. 934 00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:02,480 Speaker 4: I have a funny feeling there's nothing immediate is going 935 00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,760 Speaker 4: to come out of this. The Prime Minister is playing 936 00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,719 Speaker 4: the long game and very much building up his relationship 937 00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,359 Speaker 4: to be able to continue it on, to have more 938 00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:15,520 Speaker 4: substantial meetings about a free trade deal and security in 939 00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:18,799 Speaker 4: various other things. But we'll talk to an international geopolitical 940 00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:23,640 Speaker 4: analyst after six to get their thoughts on it. Francisco 941 00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,880 Speaker 4: so Kewi's are leading the country and record numbers stats. 942 00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,000 Speaker 4: New Zealand figures show New Zealand had an annual net 943 00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,360 Speaker 4: migration gain of nearly fifty four thousand people in the 944 00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:36,760 Speaker 4: year to August. However, departures are the highest on record 945 00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,359 Speaker 4: at one hundred and thirty four thousand, driven by more 946 00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:42,720 Speaker 4: than eighty one thousand Kiwis heading overseas. So one hundred 947 00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:45,280 Speaker 4: and eighty eight thousand migrants entered the country with Indian 948 00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,319 Speaker 4: citizens making up the largest group. I might have been 949 00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:54,320 Speaker 4: talking about that. Francis Collins is a psychology sociology professor 950 00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:58,520 Speaker 4: at Auckland University and he joins me. Now, Hi, Francis 951 00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:01,960 Speaker 4: here it a Franciscan. Most nice to talk to you too, Hey, 952 00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:05,759 Speaker 4: how do these levels compare to the brain drain of 953 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,040 Speaker 4: twenty eleven twenty twelve. 954 00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:13,200 Speaker 19: Well, it's actually quite markedly different in a lot of ways. 955 00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,480 Speaker 19: Back in twenty eleven twenty twelve, we were seeing a 956 00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:18,960 Speaker 19: lot of New Zealand citizens apart, It's not quite as 957 00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,640 Speaker 19: high as we're seeing now, but pretty high. But I 958 00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,520 Speaker 19: guess the difference back then was that the arrival of 959 00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,560 Speaker 19: non New Zealand citizens, so people from India you mentioned, 960 00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,000 Speaker 19: but from China, from the Philippines were much lower back then, 961 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,760 Speaker 19: so we actually had an overall net loss of people 962 00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,640 Speaker 19: through migration, whereas it right now, as you mentioned, even 963 00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,719 Speaker 19: though the rate's coming down, net migration is very very 964 00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,400 Speaker 19: high by historical standards. 965 00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,239 Speaker 4: Do you think this trend of more people leaving and 966 00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:48,640 Speaker 4: fewer arriving is going to continue from the levels that 967 00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:49,120 Speaker 4: we've seen. 968 00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:56,520 Speaker 19: Well, so that the flows of New Zealand citizens, what 969 00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,440 Speaker 19: you can say, is it consistently over time that's being 970 00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,640 Speaker 19: very large numbers of New Zealand citizens who have left 971 00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:05,160 Speaker 19: New Zealand and not returned. That patterns very clear stance 972 00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,480 Speaker 19: the late nineteen seventies, around eight hundred, eight hundred and 973 00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:10,399 Speaker 19: fifty thousand New Zealand citizens have left and not come 974 00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,200 Speaker 19: back if we think about overall. But it doesn't remain 975 00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:14,759 Speaker 19: the same all the time, so there's a lot of 976 00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:18,799 Speaker 19: even flow. So there are times when the level of 977 00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,600 Speaker 19: New Zealand citizens leaving and not returning as much lower 978 00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:25,000 Speaker 19: and there are times like right now where it's particularly high. 979 00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:28,160 Speaker 19: And the same actually goes for migrant arrivals as well, 980 00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,840 Speaker 19: which which do even flow, and often they're often associated 981 00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:34,640 Speaker 19: with the economic cycle, but also also associated when you 982 00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:37,520 Speaker 19: know there are issues around inequality for example, that can 983 00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,799 Speaker 19: that can lead to increase increased migration as well. 984 00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:44,000 Speaker 4: What does it mean for our skills or shortage our 985 00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:44,760 Speaker 4: labor market. 986 00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,640 Speaker 19: Well, again, just come back to the point where there 987 00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:52,120 Speaker 19: is a very large number of the departure of New 988 00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,920 Speaker 19: Zealand citizens, but the net migration rate is positive, in 989 00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:59,959 Speaker 19: fact it's very high, so arguably there's actually there's actually 990 00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,239 Speaker 19: an increase in the number of people available or coming 991 00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:05,040 Speaker 19: to New Zealand. Many of them will be coming here 992 00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:07,840 Speaker 19: to work. I think the question is the difference between 993 00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:11,440 Speaker 19: those groups, right, we're talking about citizens and non citizens, 994 00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,640 Speaker 19: and of course then the mix of people in different occupations, 995 00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:16,560 Speaker 19: which would need to get a bit more granular with 996 00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:18,800 Speaker 19: the data to really unpack that a bit more. 997 00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:23,120 Speaker 4: Do you know how we keep people here? That sounds terrible, 998 00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:24,959 Speaker 4: doesn't that we're going to lock them up or something front? 999 00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,160 Speaker 4: How do we encourage people to stay in New Zealand? 1000 00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:28,759 Speaker 4: You know, the people that we need to stay here? 1001 00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:35,279 Speaker 19: Well, I mean, I mean, from my perspective, you can't 1002 00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,560 Speaker 19: keep people here right in New Zealand. There's a kind 1003 00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:42,279 Speaker 19: of moderl of democracy. Can't enforce rules of departure right, 1004 00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:45,960 Speaker 19: which some countries who do. It's relatively uncommon. But what 1005 00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,680 Speaker 19: we can think about is what kind of society do 1006 00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:52,120 Speaker 19: we have? And one of the biggest drivers of immigration, 1007 00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:55,319 Speaker 19: and I would argue that New Zealand citizen immigration is inequality. 1008 00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:58,040 Speaker 19: And it's quite clear that over the last few decades 1009 00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:01,680 Speaker 19: inequality in the country has increased, you know, it's evident, 1010 00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:05,000 Speaker 19: and issues within the health sector and health inequity, but 1011 00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:08,000 Speaker 19: it is evident in housing and affordability and the precarity 1012 00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:10,560 Speaker 19: and the rental housing sector, and I don't think that's 1013 00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:13,320 Speaker 19: actually getting any better right now. So while immigration is 1014 00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:16,160 Speaker 19: not new and there's not suddenly a new pattern of 1015 00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,800 Speaker 19: New Zealand citizens believing it's been a had for some time, 1016 00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:22,319 Speaker 19: it is we have very high numbers now, much higher 1017 00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:25,719 Speaker 19: than what used to be the highest levels of immigration. 1018 00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:27,319 Speaker 19: I think a lot of that is to do with 1019 00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:31,560 Speaker 19: the growth of inequality over many decades, which you know, 1020 00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:36,080 Speaker 19: it's not really being substantially addressed by governments. And for me, 1021 00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:38,520 Speaker 19: I would say, you want to address immigration levels, you 1022 00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:41,680 Speaker 19: need to make me deal in an inclusive society where 1023 00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,200 Speaker 19: there's a focus on social justice and a focus on 1024 00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:48,759 Speaker 19: creating opportunities people to see viable lives for themselves and 1025 00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:49,560 Speaker 19: for their families. 1026 00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,040 Speaker 4: Francis, thank you so much for your thoughts. That was 1027 00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:57,719 Speaker 4: psychology sociology excuse me, sociology professor at Augland University of 1028 00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:01,320 Speaker 4: Francis Collins.

And some of these young boys have 1039 00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:36,600 Speaker 11: never played with them. They grew up watching them, So 1040 00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:39,520 Speaker 11: to get a game with teachers I know something that they'll. 1041 00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:40,759 Speaker 1: Be looking forward to as well. So it'll be a 1042 00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:41,280 Speaker 1: nice way. 1043 00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:42,839 Speaker 11: To send them off.

I'll get up, 1054 00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:13,799 Speaker 4: I won't look at the news and want look at 1055 00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:15,960 Speaker 4: my phone, and I will watch it and very much 1056 00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:18,320 Speaker 4: enjoy it. In a pre recorded manner. 1057 00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,600 Speaker 20: Yeah, well I heard what Plenty said is that maybe 1058 00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:23,359 Speaker 20: a lot of people will and I feel like I'm 1059 00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:27,080 Speaker 20: in this boat. Is maybe see you get up in 1060 00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:29,560 Speaker 20: the morning and watch those replays check in with that. 1061 00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:31,560 Speaker 11: But then when it gets to the pointing if it starts. 1062 00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:34,000 Speaker 20: To get close, then maybe I'll drag myself out of 1063 00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,960 Speaker 20: bed or pull the phone up in bed, you know, 1064 00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,040 Speaker 20: and watch watch it live at that time in the morning. 1065 00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:41,680 Speaker 20: But it will be interesting to see how many kiwis 1066 00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:43,759 Speaker 20: get in and around it, given it's not on our 1067 00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:44,680 Speaker 20: shores this time around. 1068 00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:48,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the races need to be close, don't they, Alex. 1069 00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:50,399 Speaker 4: They need to be close to draw people in. 1070 00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:54,439 Speaker 22: I mean, I think Clay's got it, like absolutely right there. 1071 00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:57,280 Speaker 22: Kiwis will get behind it if it's close. But also 1072 00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,040 Speaker 22: if team's on, get up and win a few races. 1073 00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,799 Speaker 4: That simple, okay, So that's what they have to do 1074 00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,040 Speaker 4: if they want us on board. They've just got to. 1075 00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:08,480 Speaker 22: Well we've been going back and forth over this Barcelona 1076 00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:11,279 Speaker 22: thing for a few years now. Everything that needs to 1077 00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,359 Speaker 22: be said has been said. So once they're out there, 1078 00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:14,839 Speaker 22: and if they weren't a few, then everyone will get 1079 00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:16,320 Speaker 22: on board. I think that is that symbol. 1080 00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:18,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it is. And the other thing too 1081 00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:20,400 Speaker 4: is I think that ANYOSS I wouldn't be surprised did 1082 00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:22,240 Speaker 4: they take out the first two races. Just because they've 1083 00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:25,240 Speaker 4: been racing so consistently, there'll be sharper on their starts, 1084 00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:27,200 Speaker 4: I reckon it. We just it might take as little 1085 00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,240 Speaker 4: while to get rolling clay. What do you reckon? 1086 00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:30,880 Speaker 11: Yeah, potentially. 1087 00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:32,640 Speaker 20: I mean obviously, Tim New Zealand got to race in 1088 00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:37,000 Speaker 20: the early part of the time in Barcelona that preliminary regatta, 1089 00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:38,919 Speaker 20: so they did get a few of racing under their belt. 1090 00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:41,280 Speaker 20: But of course these other teams have been going head 1091 00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:43,680 Speaker 20: to head for the last two or three weeks now, 1092 00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:47,360 Speaker 20: so I mean there's nothing like a bit of match fitness. 1093 00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:47,560 Speaker 16: So to speak. 1094 00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:49,440 Speaker 11: So we may see something like that. 1095 00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:51,760 Speaker 20: But I think it's pretty widely regarded that Team New 1096 00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,160 Speaker 20: Zealand have a fast boat and you know we're the 1097 00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:57,360 Speaker 20: team to chase in that preliminary regatta. So it'll be 1098 00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:59,200 Speaker 20: interesting just to see how much ANYOS has closed the 1099 00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,160 Speaker 20: gap and how much they're That kind of match fitness 1100 00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:01,840 Speaker 20: plays into it. 1101 00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:06,400 Speaker 4: Alex Shawn Johnson's back, I know, how good is it? 1102 00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:06,680 Speaker 1: Good? 1103 00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:09,160 Speaker 22: Would have been great. See well, I mean yes and no. 1104 00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:11,959 Speaker 22: The narrative's great that Sean Johnson gets to potentially sign 1105 00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:13,600 Speaker 22: off on a HiPE. But I mean the worrying thing 1106 00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:16,439 Speaker 22: is just the Kewis don't have any other halves. 1107 00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:22,320 Speaker 4: When you put it like that, Clay. 1108 00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:23,240 Speaker 20: Yeah, well, I mean that's pretty much what it got to, 1109 00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:26,160 Speaker 20: and it was looking pretty dire, you know, like in 1110 00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:27,680 Speaker 20: the latter part of the season when a few people 1111 00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:30,040 Speaker 20: started to fall over and we all had our hopes 1112 00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:32,480 Speaker 20: pinned on Jerome Hughes and then of course played in 1113 00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:34,800 Speaker 20: the Grand Final and now has been ruled out. 1114 00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:37,280 Speaker 11: So like Alex, he is a great narrative. I mean, 1115 00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:38,720 Speaker 11: I'm a Sean Johnson fan. 1116 00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:40,320 Speaker 20: I love what he's done for the Warriors and what 1117 00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:43,120 Speaker 20: he's done who he's been throughout his career. Will he 1118 00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,440 Speaker 20: be enough to turn what is you know, a really 1119 00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:49,800 Speaker 20: heavily impacted by injury and departures and people going to 1120 00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:53,160 Speaker 20: rugby union in terms of the Kiwi's their squad. I 1121 00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:54,720 Speaker 20: don't know if he'll be enough to perhaps turn it 1122 00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:57,200 Speaker 20: around against the side like Australia, But who knows. I mean, 1123 00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:01,480 Speaker 20: Sewan Johnson has been mercurial times throughout his career and 1124 00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:03,160 Speaker 20: you know what he's done so far. 1125 00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:04,680 Speaker 11: Wouldn't you want to put it against. 1126 00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:06,960 Speaker 20: Him to come in and do something pretty magic for 1127 00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,720 Speaker 20: a Kiwis outfit that's missing a number of players. 1128 00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:12,320 Speaker 4: Aside from Johnson Alex, are you happy with the rest 1129 00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:14,000 Speaker 4: of the Kiwi's team. 1130 00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:17,920 Speaker 22: I mean, there are so many players that you look 1131 00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:19,800 Speaker 22: at and go, well, if they were there, that would 1132 00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:21,320 Speaker 22: just make this team a lot better. But I think 1133 00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:23,840 Speaker 22: that is the risk of playing international rugby league. At 1134 00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:25,680 Speaker 22: the end of the NFL season. The NRAL takes up 1135 00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:27,680 Speaker 22: thirty one weeks of the year, so guys are going 1136 00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:30,960 Speaker 22: to get banged up. I think the positive for Kiwis 1137 00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:33,320 Speaker 22: fans here is that Australia in a pretty similar boat. 1138 00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:35,439 Speaker 22: I mean, look, who aren't playing for them just through 1139 00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:38,200 Speaker 22: four man injury. Nathan Cleary's not there daily, Cherry Evers 1140 00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:40,880 Speaker 22: and James Desko being dropped, Jake Taboya which isn't there's 1141 00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:44,040 Speaker 22: that's both state of origin captains there, So you'd say 1142 00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:46,840 Speaker 22: Australia are probably slightly in front in terms of the 1143 00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:49,880 Speaker 22: Pacific Championships. But we saw what this Kiwis team did 1144 00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:50,439 Speaker 22: last year. 1145 00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:52,520 Speaker 4: All right, guys, we're going to take a quick break 1146 00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:53,680 Speaker 4: back with the sports Huddle in. 1147 00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:57,440 Speaker 2: Just a moment, the Friday Sports Huddle with New Zealand 1148 00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:00,840 Speaker 2: Southby's International Realty elevate the market of your home. 1149 01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:04,320 Speaker 4: And on the sports Huddle today I have Clay Wilson 1150 01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:08,560 Speaker 4: and Alex Powell. Guys, how much of Bathhurst do you enjoy? Alex, 1151 01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:09,600 Speaker 4: You'll be a fan, wouldn't you? 1152 01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:11,800 Speaker 1: I'd love Bathurst. 1153 01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,600 Speaker 22: I think in motorsport there's only really a handful of 1154 01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:16,640 Speaker 22: great races that you get. So in F one you 1155 01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:19,000 Speaker 22: get the Monaco Grand Prix, Indica, you get the NDY 1156 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:22,240 Speaker 22: five hundred, NASCAR, the Daytona five hundred, and Bathurst is 1157 01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:24,640 Speaker 22: our one. So I think this is a really good 1158 01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,040 Speaker 22: time of year to be a motorsport fan and just 1159 01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:28,320 Speaker 22: park up all weeken. 1160 01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:28,720 Speaker 1: And chuck it on. 1161 01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:32,120 Speaker 4: How much of it is hype, Alex A. 1162 01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:34,280 Speaker 22: I mean a lot of it. But that's the whole point, 1163 01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:37,000 Speaker 22: you know, we need hype for these things because without it, 1164 01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:37,760 Speaker 22: what's the point? 1165 01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:38,400 Speaker 4: You amped? 1166 01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:40,680 Speaker 1: Clay Well, I. 1167 01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:42,240 Speaker 20: Used to watch a lot of Bethists and I used 1168 01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:43,320 Speaker 20: to get a quite off and sit down on the 1169 01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:44,480 Speaker 20: Sunday afternoon and watch it. 1170 01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:46,760 Speaker 11: Probably not much as much though anymore. 1171 01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:48,480 Speaker 20: That's probably more of a stage of life thing, to 1172 01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:52,320 Speaker 20: be honest, But yeah, certainly, I think probably you know, 1173 01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:55,040 Speaker 20: when we had the likes of Scott McLaughlin and Shane 1174 01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:57,720 Speaker 20: BEng Gersberg and you know, going head to head or 1175 01:00:57,720 --> 01:00:58,520 Speaker 20: in the continent for. 1176 01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:01,200 Speaker 11: The championship, probably for you know, your casual KEI we 1177 01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:03,760 Speaker 11: motorsport fan, there was a bit more interest. But I 1178 01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:04,880 Speaker 11: mean it's a great series. 1179 01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:07,880 Speaker 20: It's always super competitive, the coverage is excellent of it. 1180 01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,760 Speaker 11: So if you're someone you know who can has. 1181 01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:12,840 Speaker 20: The time to sit down and watch, you will. And 1182 01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:14,560 Speaker 20: you know, I have already spoken to a couple of 1183 01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:17,080 Speaker 20: people this week. You have, you know, parties at their 1184 01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:19,040 Speaker 20: flat planed or parties at their house or you know, 1185 01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:21,680 Speaker 20: sit out on the deck and put a temporary TV 1186 01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:22,959 Speaker 20: up kind of kind of style. 1187 01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:24,360 Speaker 11: So I think it still does happen, and. 1188 01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:26,400 Speaker 20: It is, like Alex says, in our part of the world, 1189 01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:28,400 Speaker 20: something that motorsport fans can really get around. 1190 01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:34,680 Speaker 4: I gave Raffer a very bad rap on his twenty 1191 01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:37,400 Speaker 4: two Grand Slam career earlier in the show when I went, oh, 1192 01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:39,560 Speaker 4: we're losing one of the nice guys. I mean, I 1193 01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:41,760 Speaker 4: think there's a little bit more to his tennis, to 1194 01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:45,200 Speaker 4: Nadal's tennis legacy than just we're losing. You know, obviously 1195 01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:47,000 Speaker 4: part of the big three. Someone did remind me about 1196 01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:50,400 Speaker 4: any Murray it was a big form, but maybe what 1197 01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:52,560 Speaker 4: do you see his legacy as Clay. 1198 01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:56,000 Speaker 20: Well, for me, I was thinking about this, and you know, 1199 01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:58,960 Speaker 20: obviously I think it is really a big three. While 1200 01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:00,600 Speaker 20: you know a lot of people loved and you murry 1201 01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:04,120 Speaker 20: to me, it's a big three. You looked at Jokovic 1202 01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:08,240 Speaker 20: and feder they sort of people that some people loved, 1203 01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:10,400 Speaker 20: some people didn't love so much, especially in the case 1204 01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:12,680 Speaker 20: of Jokovic, and I feel like Nadal was probably the 1205 01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:15,240 Speaker 20: one in the middle that everyone kind of liked. 1206 01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:17,960 Speaker 11: And I don't know too many people that really were. 1207 01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:20,920 Speaker 20: Tennis fans or sports fans that didn't like Rapha Nadal 1208 01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:22,560 Speaker 20: in terms of what he was as a tennis player, 1209 01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:26,560 Speaker 20: but also just his personality such like a dogged, determined 1210 01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:29,120 Speaker 20: athlete who you know, you really got the best out 1211 01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:29,760 Speaker 20: of his talents. 1212 01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:31,480 Speaker 11: And while he was incredibly talented, to. 1213 01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:33,800 Speaker 20: Compete in that era, you know, you had to have 1214 01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:37,120 Speaker 20: other attributes and that's what that that was his was 1215 01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:40,240 Speaker 20: to be just so determined get every single ball back 1216 01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:42,960 Speaker 20: and chase everything down. So you know, I think, you know, 1217 01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:47,040 Speaker 20: it's very firmly among that three as players that will 1218 01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:48,440 Speaker 20: be remembered forever in that sport. 1219 01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:50,480 Speaker 4: That was clearly an issue with my tennis. If it 1220 01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:52,880 Speaker 4: was a bit too far away, just really couldn't be bothered. 1221 01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:54,960 Speaker 4: Alex thoughts on Nadhal. 1222 01:02:56,960 --> 01:02:58,800 Speaker 22: I really echo a lot of what Clay said. I 1223 01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:01,040 Speaker 22: think the big thing about and the big thing about 1224 01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:03,240 Speaker 22: sport in that regard is you need the rivalries. And 1225 01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,400 Speaker 22: for a lot of time it was Federer v. Nadal, 1226 01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,800 Speaker 22: they were doing it against each other before Jokovic came along, 1227 01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:10,920 Speaker 22: and obviously, like to be honest, when it came when 1228 01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:12,520 Speaker 22: I saw the news that he'd retired, in my head, 1229 01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:15,600 Speaker 22: I thought, didn't already retire because he does feel like 1230 01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,720 Speaker 22: he's just been injured for about ten years now, retired, 1231 01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:21,920 Speaker 22: his body retired, but always good to get out there 1232 01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:23,600 Speaker 22: and get those last paychecks why you can. 1233 01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:29,080 Speaker 4: But no, I mean, that's crol. Alex already think I 1234 01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:30,479 Speaker 4: don't know if it wre man. You know, he hasn't 1235 01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:31,840 Speaker 4: played that much in the last few year because he 1236 01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:34,440 Speaker 4: had the hip operation of various things. But I don't know, 1237 01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:35,880 Speaker 4: you should be allowed to put the time. I don't 1238 01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:37,760 Speaker 4: feel like he was out there trying to turn up 1239 01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:39,200 Speaker 4: when he couldn't perform. 1240 01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:41,000 Speaker 22: Well, when was the last time he won anything? 1241 01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:49,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll just google that. Yeah, exactly, all right, point made, 1242 01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:52,720 Speaker 4: point made anyway, I still feel like we're losing one 1243 01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:56,080 Speaker 4: of the lovely ones staying with tennis though, when Woden 1244 01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:58,880 Speaker 4: is moving to the electronic line umpiring. That was the 1245 01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:01,280 Speaker 4: other sort of big news week, which is really just 1246 01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:03,760 Speaker 4: a sort of a you know, you just have to 1247 01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:05,520 Speaker 4: get over a bit of tradition really. I mean, it's 1248 01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:07,640 Speaker 4: what most of the Grand Slams do, isn't it Clay? 1249 01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:11,080 Speaker 20: Yeah, and you know what Like in terms of technology 1250 01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:14,600 Speaker 20: and sport, I've certainly been someone who's been a critic 1251 01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:16,440 Speaker 20: of some of it and is still not a big fan, 1252 01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:19,080 Speaker 20: especially in the likes of rugby and cricket. But I 1253 01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,880 Speaker 20: think tennis, you know, the sport lends itself to it 1254 01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:23,600 Speaker 20: a bit because you know, the balls in and out, 1255 01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:25,680 Speaker 20: but the way they do it, the speed they do 1256 01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:29,560 Speaker 20: it with to have one of the majors not using it, 1257 01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:31,120 Speaker 20: and I know the French Open doesn't use it, but 1258 01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:33,800 Speaker 20: of course we have the clay which can define that. 1259 01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:35,920 Speaker 20: It makes it a bit easier and I think it 1260 01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:38,360 Speaker 20: just makes sense, doesn't it. Like it's been around for 1261 01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:40,600 Speaker 20: so long and all the other tennis tournaments and all 1262 01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:41,040 Speaker 20: the other. 1263 01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:44,760 Speaker 11: Majors that you know, it's sad to lose the tradition. 1264 01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:46,320 Speaker 11: I'm a purist of sport as well. 1265 01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:48,440 Speaker 20: It is a bit sad in that sense, but I 1266 01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:50,600 Speaker 20: think it's, you know, a logical decision at the end 1267 01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:53,720 Speaker 20: of the day, you know, for a massive, massive sporting event. 1268 01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:56,040 Speaker 4: Thank you both very much for joining me on the huddle. 1269 01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:58,360 Speaker 4: That was Clay Wilson and Alex Powell.

Heather duple c Allen drive 1273 01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:10,560 Speaker 2: with one New Zealand one Giant Leap for Business News 1274 01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:11,480 Speaker 2: Talk Zebby. 1275 01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:14,200 Speaker 4: Thank you very much for your feedback. Francesca. People are 1276 01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:16,520 Speaker 4: overlooking that Team New Zealand was out on the water, 1277 01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:18,560 Speaker 4: racing up and down outside the course during the Louis 1278 01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:21,200 Speaker 4: Vuitton Cup. I was there in Barcelona and watched them. 1279 01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:23,440 Speaker 4: Cunning strategy that got out in the same conditions and 1280 01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:25,640 Speaker 4: tested themselves. Very good to know I thought it was 1281 01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:27,520 Speaker 4: very strange the way that they also were in the 1282 01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:30,800 Speaker 4: very first was it the Challengers Cup that was the 1283 01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:33,720 Speaker 4: very first one that began like a month ago. They 1284 01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:35,720 Speaker 4: also raced in that, so they sort of they've had 1285 01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:40,680 Speaker 4: an opportunity to sort of, you know, eye up the competition. 1286 01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:47,040 Speaker 4: Regarding the migration numbers, how much impact has the many 1287 01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,680 Speaker 4: many who returned to New Zealand during COVID lockdowns around 1288 01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:51,840 Speaker 4: the world, a number came home. How many of them 1289 01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:53,920 Speaker 4: decided to head back out there again? Thank you? Well, 1290 01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:55,840 Speaker 4: I think that's a really good question. I think there 1291 01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:59,280 Speaker 4: were probably quite a few who did that. And also 1292 01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:01,320 Speaker 4: Bruce Texas when she scrid love to know how many 1293 01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:03,439 Speaker 4: people live in New Zealand were immigrants who came here 1294 01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:07,520 Speaker 4: to get a better education and get New Zealand citizenship 1295 01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:10,160 Speaker 4: to make it easier to get into countries like Australia. Yeah, 1296 01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:11,960 Speaker 4: I hear that that is quite common. People come and 1297 01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:14,760 Speaker 4: work here, they get the qualification and then head off 1298 01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:17,880 Speaker 4: to Ozzie.

Good to have you with us. 1307 01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:51,440 Speaker 4: Coming up this hour, we're going to talk to an 1308 01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:55,960 Speaker 4: international geopolitical analyst about the significance of a prime minister 1309 01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:59,280 Speaker 4: for Christopher Luxon and his meeting with the Indian Prime Minister. 1310 01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:01,960 Speaker 4: One New Zealand has been given the go ahead to 1311 01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:06,120 Speaker 4: start testing their Starlink satellite to mobile service here, so 1312 01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:08,680 Speaker 4: we're going to find out when that might become available, 1313 01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:10,800 Speaker 4: and of course we will head to the UK and 1314 01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:14,200 Speaker 4: talk to Gavin Gray near the end of the hour. 1315 01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:18,480 Speaker 4: Right inflation appears to be easing, although some costs are 1316 01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:21,840 Speaker 4: continuing to search. The latest figures from Stats New Zealand 1317 01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:24,880 Speaker 4: show petrol is fourteen point nine percent cheaper than a 1318 01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:28,320 Speaker 4: year ago, and food prices rose one point two percent. 1319 01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:31,840 Speaker 4: Fruit and veggie is eight point three percent cheaper, but 1320 01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:36,520 Speaker 4: olive oil is fifty eight percent price here man is it? Ever? 1321 01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:41,160 Speaker 4: While butter chocolate, biscuits and alcohol have also been getting dearer, 1322 01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:45,800 Speaker 4: asb Senior economist Mark Smith joins me. Now, good evening, Mark, 1323 01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:46,360 Speaker 4: how are you doing? 1324 01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:47,360 Speaker 21: Good evening? 1325 01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:47,640 Speaker 16: Good? 1326 01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:47,919 Speaker 21: Thanks? 1327 01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:48,680 Speaker 8: How are you a bit of. 1328 01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:51,439 Speaker 4: A mixed bag? There isn't it? Some highs and lows? Yes? 1329 01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:55,120 Speaker 4: Are we seeing though signs inflation is getting under control. 1330 01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:58,960 Speaker 21: Yes, yeah, there are welcome signs of that happening. But 1331 01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:01,320 Speaker 21: as you said, this quite a lot of variation. But 1332 01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:03,920 Speaker 21: really what we've done to see is the general tendency 1333 01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:08,200 Speaker 21: for price increases is slowing and that is really encouraging. 1334 01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:11,280 Speaker 21: Two households have really been under the cosh over the 1335 01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:12,120 Speaker 21: last few years. 1336 01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:14,400 Speaker 4: So what are still the biggest drivers of inflation. 1337 01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:17,640 Speaker 21: Well, really, when you look at it, you've got the 1338 01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:22,160 Speaker 21: external environment. So as you see, petrol prices fell in 1339 01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:25,560 Speaker 21: the quarter and that's likely to bear a major contributed 1340 01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:29,240 Speaker 21: towards falling external prices that we expect for the year, 1341 01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:31,800 Speaker 21: so down around one and a half percent. But on 1342 01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:35,360 Speaker 21: the other side, the domestic component of inflation remains elevated 1343 01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:39,320 Speaker 21: at around five percent. Now, looking at those certain areas, 1344 01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:43,000 Speaker 21: there are some welcome signs things like construction cost inflation 1345 01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:46,439 Speaker 21: should sharply fall in the quarter, but Unfortunately, there are 1346 01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:49,680 Speaker 21: a lot of cost increases. Things like local authority rates 1347 01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:53,320 Speaker 21: and insurance will keep that domestic in placement rate high. 1348 01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:56,240 Speaker 4: Will they also to help ease any of this? I'm 1349 01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:58,360 Speaker 4: sort of thinking about rents and things. 1350 01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:02,720 Speaker 21: Really, the OCR is responding to the inflation rate rather 1351 01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:05,000 Speaker 21: than the other way around. But what we are seeing 1352 01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:08,200 Speaker 21: now is as the economy is calling inflationary pressures are 1353 01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:11,280 Speaker 21: starting the call and as a result, the OCR is 1354 01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:14,679 Speaker 21: moving lower. Now at four point seventy five percent, it's 1355 01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:18,320 Speaker 21: still pretty much on the tighter side of neutral, which 1356 01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:21,799 Speaker 21: is around three to four percent, but encouragingly, it's starting 1357 01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:22,519 Speaker 21: to move lower. 1358 01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:25,919 Speaker 4: Okay, what do you think this means for the CPI 1359 01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:27,000 Speaker 4: next Wednesday? 1360 01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:31,360 Speaker 21: We expect a two point two percent and increase, but 1361 01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:33,760 Speaker 21: as you said, there's quite a lot of variation, but 1362 01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:36,880 Speaker 21: we do expect signs there to really confirm that the 1363 01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:41,280 Speaker 21: central kndcien price increases is falling, core inflation is falling, 1364 01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:43,640 Speaker 21: and as a result, the official cash rate needs to 1365 01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:44,120 Speaker 21: move lower. 1366 01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:47,679 Speaker 4: From here, would you be happy with that two point 1367 01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:49,760 Speaker 4: two percent increase? What would you like to see? 1368 01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:53,160 Speaker 21: Again? Again, the lower the better. It would depend on 1369 01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:56,360 Speaker 21: the composition, But really, what we're seeing it's the reserve 1370 01:09:56,439 --> 01:10:00,280 Speaker 21: bank if worked hard. But as a result, inflation is 1371 01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:03,320 Speaker 21: certainly calling. So as a result, we expect at least 1372 01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:05,680 Speaker 21: the fifty basis point cup in the official cash rate 1373 01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:06,400 Speaker 21: in November. 1374 01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:09,679 Speaker 4: Yeah, we sort of we're just sort of we're edging 1375 01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:12,000 Speaker 4: along and now we're taking quite big leaps with the 1376 01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:15,680 Speaker 4: ocr aren't we. Do you think that will continue? 1377 01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:18,920 Speaker 21: I think until we get to sort of more neutral levels. 1378 01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:21,200 Speaker 21: So at the moment, the OCA is at four point 1379 01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:24,639 Speaker 21: seventy five percent if you like the Goldilocks zones, you know, 1380 01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:27,120 Speaker 21: three to four percent, So they need to move it 1381 01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:31,080 Speaker 21: pretty quickly now with evidence inflation is pretty much you know, 1382 01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:34,360 Speaker 21: it's been beaten. The inflation beef has been beaten. Never 1383 01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:37,960 Speaker 21: say never, but signs is certainly encouraging. So as a 1384 01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:40,240 Speaker 21: result they need to really take the foot off the 1385 01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:44,639 Speaker 21: brake pedal and move into neutral. Unfortunately, if the economy 1386 01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:47,080 Speaker 21: really weakens, they might need to actually put the foot 1387 01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:49,800 Speaker 21: on the accelerator and that means the official cash rate 1388 01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:50,759 Speaker 21: lower than three percent. 1389 01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:52,760 Speaker 4: Okay, oh, look good to talk to you. Thank you 1390 01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:54,600 Speaker 4: very much Mark for talking us through that.

It's head dup to 1394 01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:08,240 Speaker 2: c Ellen with the Business Hour. Thanks to my HR, 1395 01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:11,360 Speaker 2: the HR platform for SME on news talks EDB. 1396 01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:15,080 Speaker 4: Maria has texted me and thank you very much for 1397 01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:15,479 Speaker 4: texting me. 1398 01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:15,880 Speaker 14: Maria. 1399 01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:18,479 Speaker 4: I'm going back to the sports huddle here just before 1400 01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:21,160 Speaker 4: the news and we were talking about Nadala and how 1401 01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:24,280 Speaker 4: he is retiring at the end of the year and things, 1402 01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:26,160 Speaker 4: and there was a bit of a snide comment about well, 1403 01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:28,439 Speaker 4: wen did he One of my contributors said, well when 1404 01:11:28,439 --> 01:11:31,240 Speaker 4: did he win something last? And Maria has just made 1405 01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:33,800 Speaker 4: the point. Only two years ago, twenty twenty two, he 1406 01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:36,559 Speaker 4: won the French Open. So thank you very much for 1407 01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:38,320 Speaker 4: pointing that out. We deserve a bit of a serve 1408 01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:40,680 Speaker 4: for that. You'd think that miss sports Huddle would know that, 1409 01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:44,320 Speaker 4: but you know, here we go just giving a bit 1410 01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:48,599 Speaker 4: of kudos back to nadal There right a step forward 1411 01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:52,200 Speaker 4: for New Zealand's relations with India. The Prime Minister Christopher 1412 01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:55,439 Speaker 4: Luxen is in last for the East Asia Summit, where 1413 01:11:55,479 --> 01:11:59,920 Speaker 4: today he met with India's Prime Minister Nerendi Modi who 1414 01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,799 Speaker 4: invited him to visit India in the new year. Luxon 1415 01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:05,600 Speaker 4: says New Zealand's relationship with India is moving in the 1416 01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:08,040 Speaker 4: right direction, with the two discussing trade in other ways 1417 01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:11,840 Speaker 4: to work together pre election national pledge to secure a 1418 01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:15,200 Speaker 4: free trade deal with India. But this is the first 1419 01:12:15,439 --> 01:12:19,480 Speaker 4: face to face the prime ministers have had. International geopolitical 1420 01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:23,040 Speaker 4: analyst Jeffrey Miller joins me now on this good evening, Jeffrey. 1421 01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:26,000 Speaker 16: Good evening, Franchester, What what have they. 1422 01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:27,559 Speaker 4: Talked about in this meeting? 1423 01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:31,400 Speaker 16: Look, I think this is the first safe to safe meeting, 1424 01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:34,360 Speaker 16: so it will be very much getting to know each 1425 01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:37,920 Speaker 16: other and just setting the ground for that visit by 1426 01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:41,559 Speaker 16: Christopher Luxan to Indiana which is going to come early 1427 01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:43,120 Speaker 16: next year. So I guess that was the real win 1428 01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:45,720 Speaker 16: to come out of this meeting, the confirmation of an 1429 01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:48,679 Speaker 16: invitation to visit India for Christopher Luxen. 1430 01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:52,160 Speaker 4: It's really just an opportunity to say, yes, we'd be 1431 01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:56,040 Speaker 4: happy to have some conversations in the future, isn't it Jeffrey. 1432 01:12:57,360 --> 01:13:00,439 Speaker 16: Essentially, yes, it's the beginning of the conversation. A free 1433 01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:03,280 Speaker 16: trade deal is a very long way away. This is 1434 01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:05,719 Speaker 16: a marathon, not a sprint when it comes to India. 1435 01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:08,200 Speaker 16: I mean, Christopher Luxen is right to focus on India 1436 01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:11,160 Speaker 16: as one of his foreign policy priorities. He makes the 1437 01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:12,920 Speaker 16: point that India is going to be the third biggest 1438 01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:16,880 Speaker 16: economy by twenty thirty. It's already the world's most populous nation. 1439 01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:20,280 Speaker 16: It's the leader arguably of the global South. So yes, 1440 01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:23,000 Speaker 16: India should absolutely be in the mix. At the same time, 1441 01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:26,600 Speaker 16: India's the two way trade that New Zealand has with 1442 01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:29,759 Speaker 16: India is less than ten percent of what New Zealand 1443 01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:32,360 Speaker 16: has with China, and that's a relationship which is hugely 1444 01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:36,080 Speaker 16: important to New Zealand. And Yet Christopher Luxen didn't have 1445 01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:41,719 Speaker 16: a meeting with his Chinese counterpart in lass and Winston 1446 01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:45,120 Speaker 16: Peters didn't meet with his Chinese counterpart of the UN 1447 01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:48,479 Speaker 16: a couple of weeks ago, unlike Australia's Penny Wong. So 1448 01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:50,880 Speaker 16: I think that perhaps is a crisis brewing when it 1449 01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:53,880 Speaker 16: comes to New Zealand's engagement or lack thereof, with China, 1450 01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:57,160 Speaker 16: because there's absolutely no visit on the horizon for Christopher 1451 01:13:57,200 --> 01:13:59,920 Speaker 16: Luxe in to China or a visit Eban by wis 1452 01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:02,160 Speaker 16: in Peter's the foreign when to start and we're one 1453 01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:04,439 Speaker 16: year into this government now, I find that quite concerning. 1454 01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:06,240 Speaker 4: Mkay. Do you think that this meeting takes a bit 1455 01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:08,040 Speaker 4: of a focus off our relationship with China. 1456 01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:12,040 Speaker 16: Well, look, it's clear that this government wants to refocus 1457 01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:17,080 Speaker 16: New Zealand's international relations. We've seen the move towards Australia, 1458 01:14:17,160 --> 01:14:19,679 Speaker 16: the United States, the fact that New Zealand is becoming 1459 01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:22,600 Speaker 16: interested in joining Pillar two of August. So that's the 1460 01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:27,120 Speaker 16: context we're operating in, and clearly China is something that 1461 01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:29,479 Speaker 16: is a bit difficult to handle for New Zealand. We 1462 01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:33,400 Speaker 16: had that very positive visit by Lee Chang, the Chinese premier, 1463 01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:36,439 Speaker 16: back in June, but since then, Christopher Luxon has actually 1464 01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:40,240 Speaker 16: taken a fairly hawkish turn, you would say. He attended 1465 01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:43,400 Speaker 16: the NATO summit in July, he gave quite a hawkish 1466 01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:47,519 Speaker 16: speech in to the Lowe Institute in Sydney back in August, 1467 01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:52,080 Speaker 16: and also hiked visa fees. Now that's applied to all nationals, 1468 01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:54,200 Speaker 16: but China is one of our biggest tourism markets and 1469 01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:56,160 Speaker 16: I think they would have taken it as something of 1470 01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:59,479 Speaker 16: a slight given that they provided visa free access to 1471 01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:03,200 Speaker 16: New zeal And Citizens for Tourism at that meeting back 1472 01:15:03,240 --> 01:15:06,200 Speaker 16: in June when Lee Chang, the Chinese premier, came to 1473 01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:08,960 Speaker 16: New Zealand. So I think there's a there's a crisis 1474 01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:11,519 Speaker 16: brewing in some ways with China. I think New Zealand 1475 01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:15,639 Speaker 16: really needs to step up its engagement with China while 1476 01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:19,559 Speaker 16: not overlooking opportunities of the future when it comes to India. 1477 01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:21,680 Speaker 4: And you can do both, right, I mean, you know, 1478 01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:24,000 Speaker 4: as you say, it's always a bit difficult and a 1479 01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:26,320 Speaker 4: fine line dealing with China, but they are an important 1480 01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:28,960 Speaker 4: trade partner and we have to be able to do 1481 01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:31,439 Speaker 4: hard things. Jeffrey, we you can't just. 1482 01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:37,080 Speaker 16: Go on different indeed, and absolutely that the truths here. Look, 1483 01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:39,840 Speaker 16: New Zealand has thirty eight billion dollars worth of two 1484 01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:42,799 Speaker 16: way trade with China. They are our biggest trading partner 1485 01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:45,760 Speaker 16: by far. I find it quite concerning that it was 1486 01:15:45,800 --> 01:15:48,800 Speaker 16: not a priority to meet with Lee Chang at the 1487 01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:53,000 Speaker 16: stage of summit and rebalance New Zealand's relations to some degree. 1488 01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:56,080 Speaker 16: You know, New Zealand's often said that New Zealand places 1489 01:15:56,479 --> 01:16:00,280 Speaker 16: walks as tightrope or has his balancing act, but there's 1490 01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:04,000 Speaker 16: not a lot of balancing up going on At the moment, 1491 01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:07,280 Speaker 16: it seems to be largely one way traffic. New Zealand 1492 01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:11,120 Speaker 16: diversifying its relations away from China. You know, that is 1493 01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:13,240 Speaker 16: a big risk for New Zealand. I think if New 1494 01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:16,160 Speaker 16: Zealand doesn't get its relations with China back on an 1495 01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:19,040 Speaker 16: even keel, you know, at some point there may be 1496 01:16:19,040 --> 01:16:20,760 Speaker 16: some repercussions in New Zealand. Ter faith. 1497 01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:25,280 Speaker 4: Any other outtakes from the summitch that you have diffree well. 1498 01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:28,120 Speaker 16: I thought one comment was really interesting by Christopher Luxon 1499 01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:30,839 Speaker 16: at the media stand up today, and it was he 1500 01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:33,240 Speaker 16: had absolutely no intention of meeting Sergey Lover of the 1501 01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:35,840 Speaker 16: Russian Foreign Minister at the meeting. I think that's really 1502 01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:39,240 Speaker 16: interesting when you look at this wider context of Christopher 1503 01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:43,240 Speaker 16: Luxe and being happy to meet Narendramodi, the Indian Prime Minister, 1504 01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:47,559 Speaker 16: because of course India talks to everyone. India has good 1505 01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:51,360 Speaker 16: relations with Russia, good relations with Western countries overall. I 1506 01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:54,400 Speaker 16: think New Zealand is a small state absolutely has the 1507 01:16:54,439 --> 01:16:57,200 Speaker 16: power to play this role in terms of dialogue, diplomacy, 1508 01:16:57,280 --> 01:17:01,280 Speaker 16: de escalation and actually that thing. It's that helpful to 1509 01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:02,880 Speaker 16: just say I don't want to talk to sege lover 1510 01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:05,680 Speaker 16: of the Russian Foreign Minister. While he's got the opportunity 1511 01:17:05,720 --> 01:17:07,519 Speaker 16: to do so, I think he should and put New 1512 01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:10,640 Speaker 16: Zealand's position when it comes to war in Ukraine and 1513 01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:14,840 Speaker 16: at least have a conversation and keep some dialogue open 1514 01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:18,880 Speaker 16: with Russia while he had the opportunity. I mean, you 1515 01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:21,000 Speaker 16: can argue he shouldn't go out of his way to 1516 01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:23,000 Speaker 16: meet his Russian counterparts, but I think it's a bit 1517 01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:25,240 Speaker 16: it's a bit silly actually, just to say no, I 1518 01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:26,840 Speaker 16: don't want to go and talk to him. I won't 1519 01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:28,080 Speaker 16: talk to him at all while I'm here. 1520 01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:30,800 Speaker 4: Okay, And look, finally, do you think Christopher Laximith's meeting 1521 01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:33,400 Speaker 4: with more global counterparts than Chris Hipkins did? Or it 1522 01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:37,000 Speaker 4: is my memory just fading? Or is it also because 1523 01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:38,679 Speaker 4: he's just so new in the PM seat. 1524 01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:42,240 Speaker 16: Well, I went through the list of his foreign trips 1525 01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:44,960 Speaker 16: this year that Christphluxen has made, and we're up to already. 1526 01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:47,479 Speaker 16: I think trip number eleven. We're just quite you know, 1527 01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:50,639 Speaker 16: I think quite something, or might be over the year 1528 01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:53,320 Speaker 16: since he became Prime Minister, and might include those ones 1529 01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:56,200 Speaker 16: at the end of last year. But either way, that's 1530 01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:59,519 Speaker 16: a significant number of trips, and it's quite clear that 1531 01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:02,920 Speaker 16: Christopher lux And does prioritize international relations and foreign policy. 1532 01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:05,040 Speaker 16: I think that's a good thing for New Zealand. I 1533 01:18:05,040 --> 01:18:07,560 Speaker 16: think it's good that Winston Peters of course is prioritizing 1534 01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:12,000 Speaker 16: traveling as well. He's tried to get to every country 1535 01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:14,679 Speaker 16: in the Pacific Islands for and I think he's managed 1536 01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:19,720 Speaker 16: all of the countries now territories apart from New Caledonia. 1537 01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:22,760 Speaker 16: But I'm sure you'll get there in the coming year. 1538 01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:26,000 Speaker 16: So I think it's very good to prioritize just getting 1539 01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:28,960 Speaker 16: out there, and especially after all that COVID period where 1540 01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:32,639 Speaker 16: New Zealand just wasn't getting out there and traveling enough 1541 01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:35,400 Speaker 16: when it comes to our Prime minister and Foreign minister. 1542 01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:37,880 Speaker 4: Appreciate your thoughts. Jeffrey, really nice to talk to you. 1543 01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:42,320 Speaker 4: And that was international geopolitical analyst Jeffrey Miller. It is 1544 01:18:42,439 --> 01:18:44,559 Speaker 4: twenty one past six years News Talks ZBB. 1545 01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:48,200 Speaker 1: If it's to do with money, it matters to you. 1546 01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:52,040 Speaker 2: The Business Hour with friend Jessica Rudkin and my HR 1547 01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:56,080 Speaker 2: the HR Solution for Fuzzy Smy's Fun News Talk ZB. 1548 01:18:57,040 --> 01:18:59,479 Speaker 4: I thank you very much for your feedback as somebody 1549 01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:03,280 Speaker 4: to make the point if the Prime Minister met, if 1550 01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:06,360 Speaker 4: he did meet with the Russian Minister of the media 1551 01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:09,280 Speaker 4: would have had a field day saying we're supporting Russia 1552 01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:14,639 Speaker 4: in some way. Essentially, if just Sinda durn another text 1553 01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:16,720 Speaker 4: read he's got an invite to visit India, would it 1554 01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:20,080 Speaker 4: be played down? Like hely, India has more potential for 1555 01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:22,800 Speaker 4: growth in China, who we already do a lot with. 1556 01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:24,800 Speaker 4: But I did think that was really interesting. Actually, Jeff, 1557 01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:28,559 Speaker 4: we're just making that comment where you're there. Why wouldn't 1558 01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:32,880 Speaker 4: you make that effort to just, you know, continue that 1559 01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:36,720 Speaker 4: relationship on just gently with China. So that was very 1560 01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:39,320 Speaker 4: interesting to hear his thoughts there. At the end of 1561 01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:42,160 Speaker 4: the hour, we're going to head to the UK to 1562 01:19:42,200 --> 01:19:43,920 Speaker 4: talk to Gavin Gray and I'm really keen to know 1563 01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:47,960 Speaker 4: whether he has read former Prime Minister Boris Johnson's memoir 1564 01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:51,200 Speaker 4: which has just been released today. It's called Unleashed, even 1565 01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:53,559 Speaker 4: though I think he's always unleashed, isn't he. The book 1566 01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:56,040 Speaker 4: covers his time as the London mayor, the Brexit campaigner, 1567 01:19:56,160 --> 01:19:59,080 Speaker 4: foreign secretary and the Prime Minister, and most of the 1568 01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:02,639 Speaker 4: time when a form released as a memoir you generally 1569 01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:05,840 Speaker 4: expect there to be some reflection within it. Apparently this 1570 01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:09,640 Speaker 4: is not the case worth Boris Johnson's book. Apparently he 1571 01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:12,280 Speaker 4: gives his version of all the big episodes, but then 1572 01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:14,639 Speaker 4: he sort of dodges all the large issues they raised. 1573 01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:17,200 Speaker 4: There's no reflection going on there at all. He's just 1574 01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:20,439 Speaker 4: kind of rewriting history to suit his narrative. Anyway, He's 1575 01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:22,040 Speaker 4: been all over the media in the last week selling 1576 01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:23,880 Speaker 4: this book, and he's been making quite a splash for 1577 01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:26,559 Speaker 4: his statements. In the book. He claims the Queen had 1578 01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:30,120 Speaker 4: bone cancer. He wrote, I had no one for a 1579 01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:32,439 Speaker 4: year or more that she had a form of bone 1580 01:20:32,479 --> 01:20:35,200 Speaker 4: cancer in her Doctors will worried that at any time 1581 01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:38,160 Speaker 4: she would enter a sharp decline. He wrote about the 1582 01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:40,879 Speaker 4: final time meeting the late monarch, describing her as stooped 1583 01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:43,560 Speaker 4: and having bruises on her hands from drips or injections. 1584 01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:47,639 Speaker 4: Not usually sure that's respectful for the Queen or whether 1585 01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:49,800 Speaker 4: she would be interested in that information, Begaup. I have 1586 01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:53,320 Speaker 4: no idea whether it's correct or not. This one amused me. 1587 01:20:53,400 --> 01:20:56,920 Speaker 4: He had to have the flat in number ten redecorated 1588 01:20:56,920 --> 01:21:00,200 Speaker 4: when he became Prime Minister because the previous incumbent had 1589 01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:03,840 Speaker 4: left it looking like a crack den. The incumbent was 1590 01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:08,960 Speaker 4: the reason. May probably wouldn't describe to reason they as 1591 01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:12,080 Speaker 4: a crack addict, But then how does Boris know what 1592 01:21:12,120 --> 01:21:15,439 Speaker 4: a crack den looks like? Anyway? Other stories of note 1593 01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:20,439 Speaker 4: that are making the realms. He seemed to have seriously 1594 01:21:20,479 --> 01:21:24,400 Speaker 4: contemplated making a ludicrous armed raid on the Netherlands in 1595 01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:27,679 Speaker 4: order to bring millions of Astrazeneka vaccine doses to Britain. 1596 01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:31,439 Speaker 4: Apparently he almost drowned on holiday in Scotland in summer 1597 01:21:31,479 --> 01:21:34,479 Speaker 4: twenty twenty two because he was determined to sit out 1598 01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:37,479 Speaker 4: at sea in an inflatable kayak to avoid the Highland 1599 01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:42,240 Speaker 4: midg midges. Then he comes super close to implying that 1600 01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:46,360 Speaker 4: Benjamin Netanyahu personally planted a listening device in his private 1601 01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:50,000 Speaker 4: department bathroom. Honestly, it just goes on and on. I'm 1602 01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:51,600 Speaker 4: gonna be honest with you. I'm going to put my 1603 01:21:51,680 --> 01:21:53,599 Speaker 4: name down on list for the library for this because 1604 01:21:53,680 --> 01:21:56,439 Speaker 4: it just we all need to laugh, don't we. And 1605 01:21:56,600 --> 01:21:58,720 Speaker 4: I think that we're going to get one. You're with 1606 01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:00,920 Speaker 4: a new stocks he'dbhades are up. 1607 01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:12,680 Speaker 2: Next crunching the numbers and getting the results. It's Francesca 1608 01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:16,439 Speaker 2: Ruggan with the Business Hour thanks to my HR the 1609 01:22:16,640 --> 01:22:20,040 Speaker 2: HR solution for busy SMS on News Talk ZB. 1610 01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:34,920 Speaker 4: You know it is twenty five two seven. 1611 01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:35,200 Speaker 12: Hey. 1612 01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:38,439 Speaker 4: Look, if you are waiting for someone to get off 1613 01:22:38,479 --> 01:22:41,519 Speaker 4: the Blue Bridge ferry the Connie Marra, and they haven't 1614 01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:45,120 Speaker 4: texted you or ready to tell you, the ship lost 1615 01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:47,520 Speaker 4: power to one of its engines just after five pm. 1616 01:22:48,320 --> 01:22:54,800 Speaker 4: Apparently it is fully operational again.

It's really no longer breaking news. Is it 1626 01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:27,519 Speaker 4: anything to do with theories. It's just kind of part 1627 01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:29,400 Speaker 4: of our day to day life here in New Zealand. 1628 01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:31,000 Speaker 4: Let's hope that the government are going to get on 1629 01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:34,000 Speaker 4: and sort out what they can with the fairies that 1630 01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:43,559 Speaker 4: they look after. Right twenty three to seven, Francesca One 1631 01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:45,559 Speaker 4: New Zealand has been given the go ahead to start 1632 01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:49,840 Speaker 4: testing of their Starlink satellite to mobile service here in 1633 01:23:49,880 --> 01:23:52,240 Speaker 4: New Zealand, so forty percent of the country currently has 1634 01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:56,840 Speaker 4: no mobile coverage and one in New Zealand en Z 1635 01:23:57,120 --> 01:24:00,960 Speaker 4: says satellite to sell a place a vital in keeping 1636 01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:04,639 Speaker 4: people connected, and the CEO of One New Zealand, Jason Paris, 1637 01:24:04,720 --> 01:24:05,200 Speaker 4: joins me. 1638 01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:06,960 Speaker 1: Now, good, evening good. 1639 01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:09,439 Speaker 4: How does this technology work? 1640 01:24:11,360 --> 01:24:18,320 Speaker 23: So think of the cell towers that you see around 1641 01:24:18,360 --> 01:24:22,760 Speaker 23: your neighborhood. Some people like them, some people admittedly. What 1642 01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:28,120 Speaker 23: happens is they basically get strapped to satellites, and then 1643 01:24:28,160 --> 01:24:32,040 Speaker 23: those satellites get strapped to rockets, and then the rockets 1644 01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:37,759 Speaker 23: get launched three hundred and fifty kilometers up into space 1645 01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:44,160 Speaker 23: into lower orbit, and then those satellites they get distributed 1646 01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:51,880 Speaker 23: into a constellation of other satellites and they've been signals 1647 01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:54,800 Speaker 23: back to your mobile phone back in little old New 1648 01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:58,640 Speaker 23: Zealand to allow you to be able to make a 1649 01:24:58,680 --> 01:25:02,960 Speaker 23: text message, make a phone call, or use or use data, 1650 01:25:03,120 --> 01:25:06,240 Speaker 23: so it's quite extraordinary technology that we're. 1651 01:25:06,200 --> 01:25:09,080 Speaker 4: Bringing to us on Jason, how many satellites do you need? 1652 01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:12,920 Speaker 23: So it depends on what you want to do. So 1653 01:25:14,080 --> 01:25:16,360 Speaker 23: if you want to text, you need about three hundred, 1654 01:25:17,439 --> 01:25:20,080 Speaker 23: which we're on track to have by the end of 1655 01:25:20,120 --> 01:25:23,760 Speaker 23: the year. So these rockets with satellites on them are 1656 01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:30,400 Speaker 23: being launched every week. To do voice, you need fifteen hundred, 1657 01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:33,880 Speaker 23: so oney, five hundred of them. The reason you need 1658 01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:39,599 Speaker 23: more with voice is you need constant coverage. When you've 1659 01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:42,559 Speaker 23: got when you're making a phone call, it can't trap 1660 01:25:42,600 --> 01:25:45,519 Speaker 23: where when you've got when you're doing a text message. 1661 01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:47,599 Speaker 23: If I sent you to a text and it took 1662 01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:49,599 Speaker 23: a minute to send and for you to receive it, 1663 01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:52,280 Speaker 23: you wouldn't know that. And if then you receive and 1664 01:25:52,320 --> 01:25:54,800 Speaker 23: send a text message, expect to me, I wouldn't know 1665 01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:56,960 Speaker 23: that it took an extra you a minute to do that. 1666 01:25:57,080 --> 01:26:01,559 Speaker 23: So you need three hundred with satellites to do text 1667 01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:05,200 Speaker 23: messaging and there'll be a delay of a few minutes. 1668 01:26:05,880 --> 01:26:07,960 Speaker 23: But you need a lot more than that if you 1669 01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:11,400 Speaker 23: want to do our voice, which is about twelve months later. 1670 01:26:12,360 --> 01:26:15,200 Speaker 4: Testing is going to kick off very shortly. What does 1671 01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:16,160 Speaker 4: the testing look like. 1672 01:26:17,640 --> 01:26:20,599 Speaker 23: So we have done a bunch of testing so far 1673 01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:26,719 Speaker 23: already we have sent text messages and we've tested also 1674 01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:31,640 Speaker 23: the kind of we've altered in some video calling. But 1675 01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:34,040 Speaker 23: we now need to do that at scale, and so 1676 01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:37,639 Speaker 23: we just got to approve all this suite from the FCC, 1677 01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:42,040 Speaker 23: which is the US regulator, to be able to launch 1678 01:26:42,120 --> 01:26:45,880 Speaker 23: this service from a testing perspective in New Zealand. So 1679 01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:51,040 Speaker 23: from the next week we'll do ten weeks testing. We'll 1680 01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:53,840 Speaker 23: do that testing on a whole bunch of different devices, 1681 01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:59,000 Speaker 23: so a range of different smartphones. We'll use those smartphones 1682 01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:03,120 Speaker 23: smartphone all and right across the country in different places, 1683 01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:06,760 Speaker 23: just to make sure that before we launch this to 1684 01:27:06,920 --> 01:27:12,960 Speaker 23: everyone that we're confident that it works on every device 1685 01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:15,840 Speaker 23: that we say it can and all the locations that 1686 01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:16,400 Speaker 23: we've set it with. 1687 01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:20,240 Speaker 4: How much coverage will this give New Zealand. 1688 01:27:22,080 --> 01:27:26,800 Speaker 23: So just to explain again, the satellites when they are 1689 01:27:26,960 --> 01:27:31,679 Speaker 23: up in lower orbits, they beam back down from space 1690 01:27:32,040 --> 01:27:37,400 Speaker 23: to New Zealand. So the advantage that you have with 1691 01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:42,320 Speaker 23: this coverage from space is that it covers the higher country. 1692 01:27:42,360 --> 01:27:45,559 Speaker 23: So as a satellite is flying through space at twenty 1693 01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:48,679 Speaker 23: seven thousand kilometers, an hour. That's how fast they are going, 1694 01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:53,120 Speaker 23: and there's another one right behind it. They are constantly 1695 01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:57,439 Speaker 23: beaming signals back down to New Zealand. So at the 1696 01:27:57,479 --> 01:28:01,000 Speaker 23: moment we've got forty percent of the country that doesn't 1697 01:28:01,080 --> 01:28:04,640 Speaker 23: have coverage, that doesn't have three G or four G 1698 01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:09,160 Speaker 23: or five G coverage. This will sort that and it 1699 01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:13,200 Speaker 23: will also mean that right out to see so our 1700 01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:17,080 Speaker 23: license is twelve nautical miles off the coast of Museum. 1701 01:28:17,120 --> 01:28:20,360 Speaker 23: It means even if you're in a fishing boat, then 1702 01:28:20,640 --> 01:28:23,000 Speaker 23: you will be able to have a smartphone in your 1703 01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:27,520 Speaker 23: hand see the sky and you'll be able to send 1704 01:28:27,560 --> 01:28:32,519 Speaker 23: a text message. Once we've been demonstrating and finishing all 1705 01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:36,639 Speaker 23: the testing that seeing the sky is an important another 1706 01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:41,040 Speaker 23: important one franchise. So at the moment we know that 1707 01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:45,439 Speaker 23: if you can see the sky, the service works. We 1708 01:28:45,600 --> 01:28:48,360 Speaker 23: know that it actually works if you're in a room 1709 01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:51,400 Speaker 23: and you've got you and you're by the window. We 1710 01:28:51,520 --> 01:28:54,240 Speaker 23: need to do a whole bunch of other testing inside 1711 01:28:54,240 --> 01:28:59,720 Speaker 23: and outside buildings, the bridges and dense bush, all that 1712 01:28:59,840 --> 01:29:03,120 Speaker 23: time of stuff to make sure that when we say 1713 01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:06,080 Speaker 23: to someone if you're a remote part of New Zealand 1714 01:29:07,040 --> 01:29:09,759 Speaker 23: and you need to you need to get in contact 1715 01:29:09,800 --> 01:29:10,320 Speaker 23: with someone that. 1716 01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:13,040 Speaker 4: You can When will the service be on offer to 1717 01:29:13,120 --> 01:29:15,080 Speaker 4: the public, So. 1718 01:29:17,479 --> 01:29:19,160 Speaker 23: In the early in the new year, so that the 1719 01:29:19,240 --> 01:29:24,479 Speaker 23: plan was to launch this in twenty twenty four. The 1720 01:29:24,640 --> 01:29:28,400 Speaker 23: delay wasn't actually from a technical perspective, so the rocket 1721 01:29:28,479 --> 01:29:33,000 Speaker 23: has been launching on time. All of the satellites are 1722 01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:36,840 Speaker 23: working well. The testing that I said was ifore work 1723 01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:41,520 Speaker 23: pretty well. But there were a few complaints from Talco's 1724 01:29:42,080 --> 01:29:47,360 Speaker 23: in the United States who thought that the satellite service 1725 01:29:47,479 --> 01:29:53,920 Speaker 23: might interfere with their existing networks, and the SCC, which 1726 01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:56,200 Speaker 23: is the US regulator, had to take its time to 1727 01:29:56,320 --> 01:30:01,439 Speaker 23: work through that. That's now been sorted and we can 1728 01:30:01,560 --> 01:30:04,479 Speaker 23: move into testing. Our government, by the way, has given 1729 01:30:04,600 --> 01:30:08,120 Speaker 23: us approval to launch the service many months ago, so 1730 01:30:08,880 --> 01:30:13,519 Speaker 23: there's been no similar concern from from New Zealand. That's 1731 01:30:13,600 --> 01:30:16,320 Speaker 23: the way that we're deploying that technology will interfere with 1732 01:30:16,520 --> 01:30:18,839 Speaker 23: existing with existing networks. 1733 01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:20,960 Speaker 4: Thank you so much Jason for talking us through that. 1734 01:30:21,040 --> 01:30:23,320 Speaker 4: There was CEO of one New Zealand, Jason Paris. I 1735 01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:24,920 Speaker 4: thought it was really interesting when he was talking about 1736 01:30:24,960 --> 01:30:26,200 Speaker 4: at the moment, you know, you need to be able 1737 01:30:26,200 --> 01:30:28,600 Speaker 4: to see the sky because and they have to be 1738 01:30:28,720 --> 01:30:30,640 Speaker 4: very careful about how they do promote this and when 1739 01:30:30,640 --> 01:30:32,360 Speaker 4: they say that it's going to mean that New Zealand 1740 01:30:32,360 --> 01:30:35,519 Speaker 4: will have one hundred percent coverage. As somebody who loves 1741 01:30:35,560 --> 01:30:38,519 Speaker 4: to head into the bush and go quite remote in 1742 01:30:38,560 --> 01:30:40,840 Speaker 4: the middle of nowhere, I always carry a personal location 1743 01:30:40,920 --> 01:30:43,040 Speaker 4: beacon with me and even when this is in place, 1744 01:30:43,240 --> 01:30:46,280 Speaker 4: I still will because you just cannot really be one 1745 01:30:46,360 --> 01:30:48,320 Speaker 4: hundred percent guaranteed, can you that you will get the 1746 01:30:48,360 --> 01:30:51,400 Speaker 4: reception that you need if you need it. Hey, look, 1747 01:30:51,479 --> 01:30:53,519 Speaker 4: if you are a bit of a stargazer though, and 1748 01:30:53,640 --> 01:30:56,280 Speaker 4: you want to enjoy the sky before it is covered 1749 01:30:56,320 --> 01:31:01,320 Speaker 4: in satellites durpling around New Zealand, and New Zealanders are 1750 01:31:01,360 --> 01:31:04,000 Speaker 4: going to be treated to a dazzling night sky display. 1751 01:31:04,120 --> 01:31:07,120 Speaker 4: Fingers crossed. There is a geo tonight. There is a 1752 01:31:07,200 --> 01:31:10,400 Speaker 4: geomagnetic storm bound for New Zealand and it's bringing with 1753 01:31:10,479 --> 01:31:14,679 Speaker 4: it the possibility of more aurora activity. So the aurora 1754 01:31:14,720 --> 01:31:18,839 Speaker 4: activity each might be visible in the Lower North Island 1755 01:31:19,360 --> 01:31:23,720 Speaker 4: and the South Island tonight. There are clear skies forecast 1756 01:31:23,800 --> 01:31:27,080 Speaker 4: across central and Northern North Island, but not in the East. 1757 01:31:28,280 --> 01:31:31,080 Speaker 4: And as you probably know, the aurora they're generally not 1758 01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:33,360 Speaker 4: visible with the naked eye, but can be seen with 1759 01:31:33,479 --> 01:31:36,480 Speaker 4: taking a long exposure photograph. 1760 01:31:37,040 --> 01:31:37,560 Speaker 16: So there we go. 1761 01:31:38,280 --> 01:31:40,200 Speaker 4: If you happen to be in the Lower North Island 1762 01:31:40,240 --> 01:31:42,680 Speaker 4: and the South Island tonight and it's a beautiful, clear night, 1763 01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:45,360 Speaker 4: not too chilly out there, head out when it gets 1764 01:31:45,439 --> 01:31:51,640 Speaker 4: dark with your with your camera, take a long exposure 1765 01:31:51,720 --> 01:31:55,839 Speaker 4: photo and see what you come up with. Sounds wonderful. 1766 01:31:56,040 --> 01:31:58,840 Speaker 4: It is a fifteen to six. We are going to 1767 01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:01,960 Speaker 4: head to the UK shortly oh seven. 1768 01:32:02,439 --> 01:32:06,160 Speaker 2: Whether it's Macro micro or just playing economics, it's all 1769 01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:09,320 Speaker 2: on the Business Hour with friend Jessica Rudkins and my 1770 01:32:09,680 --> 01:32:15,880 Speaker 2: HR the HR solution for busy SMEs New stalksbur. 1771 01:32:14,479 --> 01:32:16,759 Speaker 4: Listener makes a very good point on the text machine 1772 01:32:16,920 --> 01:32:19,360 Speaker 4: that my personal location Beacon will had the same restrictions 1773 01:32:19,400 --> 01:32:22,080 Speaker 4: as both sending signals to a satellite. I think when 1774 01:32:22,120 --> 01:32:27,040 Speaker 4: you know that your PLB it's batteries, all good and everything, 1775 01:32:27,240 --> 01:32:29,080 Speaker 4: I still think it's good to have both there. I 1776 01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:31,400 Speaker 4: mean I'd probably take too many photos and run down 1777 01:32:31,479 --> 01:32:34,680 Speaker 4: my phone battery and things like that, you know. 1778 01:32:34,920 --> 01:32:35,200 Speaker 16: I don't know. 1779 01:32:35,240 --> 01:32:37,120 Speaker 4: I just feel like there's more that can go wrong there. 1780 01:32:37,439 --> 01:32:39,120 Speaker 4: That's just me, just in my head. But thank you 1781 01:32:39,240 --> 01:32:42,080 Speaker 4: very much for pointing that out. I appreciate that we're 1782 01:32:42,120 --> 01:32:44,600 Speaker 4: going to head to the UK and Europe. Now it 1783 01:32:44,720 --> 01:32:47,360 Speaker 4: is time to catch up with Gavin Gray. Good evening, Gavin. 1784 01:32:48,400 --> 01:32:50,479 Speaker 12: Him Francisca, good to talk to you. 1785 01:32:50,600 --> 01:32:50,720 Speaker 2: Now. 1786 01:32:50,800 --> 01:32:55,559 Speaker 4: The UK government is investigating thirty seven UK linked businesses 1787 01:32:55,640 --> 01:32:58,439 Speaker 4: but potentially breaking Russian oil sanctions. 1788 01:32:58,520 --> 01:33:02,080 Speaker 12: Tell me about this, yeah, well, of course the Russians. 1789 01:33:02,439 --> 01:33:05,040 Speaker 12: The sanctions brought in against Russia were introduced by the 1790 01:33:05,160 --> 01:33:08,000 Speaker 12: UK and other countries following the invasion of Ukraine in 1791 01:33:08,040 --> 01:33:11,519 Speaker 12: twenty twenty two, but since then critics said they're not 1792 01:33:11,720 --> 01:33:14,559 Speaker 12: very effective because the latest figures actually show the Russian 1793 01:33:14,600 --> 01:33:17,720 Speaker 12: economy is growing. So the question is how is that 1794 01:33:17,920 --> 01:33:21,360 Speaker 12: being allowed to happen. Well, a report out suggests there 1795 01:33:21,360 --> 01:33:24,479 Speaker 12: are thirty seven businesses that have links to the UK. 1796 01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:29,320 Speaker 12: It is thought that they are potentially maritime insurance firms. 1797 01:33:29,800 --> 01:33:32,920 Speaker 12: Why does that matter? Well, because what it's enabling Russia 1798 01:33:33,040 --> 01:33:38,400 Speaker 12: to do, if it's true, is effectively to have Russian 1799 01:33:38,640 --> 01:33:43,800 Speaker 12: oil refined in another country and then bought around the world. So, 1800 01:33:43,920 --> 01:33:47,880 Speaker 12: in other words, a loophole in the sanctions effectory effectively 1801 01:33:48,760 --> 01:33:52,920 Speaker 12: and some of the oil is being exported into the UK, 1802 01:33:53,160 --> 01:33:57,840 Speaker 12: but because it's being refined third country, then it sort 1803 01:33:57,840 --> 01:34:02,679 Speaker 12: of is escaping these very sanctions. So although the government 1804 01:34:02,760 --> 01:34:05,640 Speaker 12: and authority see are saying, look that this cap is 1805 01:34:06,479 --> 01:34:10,040 Speaker 12: reducing Russia's tax revenues from oil, it does appear there 1806 01:34:10,040 --> 01:34:12,040 Speaker 12: are loopholes around it. We don't know the names of 1807 01:34:12,080 --> 01:34:15,840 Speaker 12: the companies involved, and we do know there are some 1808 01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:20,120 Speaker 12: fairly hefty sanctions fines that can be given out to 1809 01:34:20,200 --> 01:34:24,679 Speaker 12: companies who break these rules, but so far no finding 1810 01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:28,320 Speaker 12: and many a calling for these sanctions to be tightened 1811 01:34:28,400 --> 01:34:29,320 Speaker 12: up considerably. 1812 01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:35,160 Speaker 4: Gavin good times for people under thirty five and Portugal, yeah, 1813 01:34:35,320 --> 01:34:35,800 Speaker 4: very much so. 1814 01:34:36,320 --> 01:34:40,920 Speaker 12: They are absolutely the government in Portugal absolutely slashing the 1815 01:34:41,240 --> 01:34:44,280 Speaker 12: amount of tax that they have to pay if you're 1816 01:34:44,439 --> 01:34:47,920 Speaker 12: under thirty five. And it's all an attempt to try 1817 01:34:47,960 --> 01:34:52,639 Speaker 12: and dissuade people from emigrating from Portugal and also encourage 1818 01:34:52,720 --> 01:34:57,000 Speaker 12: foreigners to settle in Portugal. So this has been presented 1819 01:34:57,080 --> 01:35:00,479 Speaker 12: to Parliament. The center right government of the Prime is 1820 01:35:00,479 --> 01:35:04,120 Speaker 12: aiming to reduce income tax for young people considerably, so 1821 01:35:04,560 --> 01:35:07,880 Speaker 12: those with an average salary of just under thirty five 1822 01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:12,240 Speaker 12: thousand New Zealand dollars currently paid twenty six percent rate 1823 01:35:12,400 --> 01:35:16,920 Speaker 12: of tax on the money they earn over roughly it's 1824 01:35:16,960 --> 01:35:20,120 Speaker 12: sort of roughly over about twenty thousand New Zealand dollars 1825 01:35:20,240 --> 01:35:22,000 Speaker 12: twenty five thousand New Zealand dollars. 1826 01:35:22,360 --> 01:35:22,880 Speaker 7: But under the. 1827 01:35:22,880 --> 01:35:27,439 Speaker 12: Government's plans, those I have anander can earn up to 1828 01:35:27,960 --> 01:35:30,920 Speaker 12: fifty thousand New Zealand dollars and will pay nothing at 1829 01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:33,759 Speaker 12: all in tax for the first year. The tax burnden 1830 01:35:33,800 --> 01:35:37,439 Speaker 12: will then progressively increase over ten years. And this does measure. 1831 01:35:37,800 --> 01:35:41,840 Speaker 12: This measure does apply to foreigners as well. It's all 1832 01:35:41,880 --> 01:35:44,960 Speaker 12: because in recent years many foreigners are flocked to Portugal, 1833 01:35:45,080 --> 01:35:48,080 Speaker 12: lured by affordable rents, mild weather and natural beauty, but 1834 01:35:49,080 --> 01:35:52,400 Speaker 12: many others of the under thirty five age bracket are 1835 01:35:52,520 --> 01:35:56,320 Speaker 12: leaving Portugal with low salary in that country a major 1836 01:35:56,439 --> 01:36:02,440 Speaker 12: major issue, combined with rents going up considerably in particularly 1837 01:36:02,520 --> 01:36:05,120 Speaker 12: the towns and cities of Portugal. So this is a 1838 01:36:05,160 --> 01:36:07,240 Speaker 12: bold move. I wait to see if it works, wait 1839 01:36:07,280 --> 01:36:08,240 Speaker 12: to see if it does come in. 1840 01:36:08,720 --> 01:36:10,519 Speaker 4: Well, Kevin, we've just been talking on the show today 1841 01:36:10,560 --> 01:36:12,719 Speaker 4: about the migration issues we have here in New Zealand 1842 01:36:12,760 --> 01:36:15,639 Speaker 4: and trying to keep our young talented New Zealanders here 1843 01:36:15,800 --> 01:36:17,759 Speaker 4: and now they're probably are just going to heat the Portugal. 1844 01:36:17,880 --> 01:36:21,120 Speaker 4: So thank you for thank you for The Princess of 1845 01:36:21,200 --> 01:36:25,320 Speaker 4: Wales has made an unexpected appearance alongside the Prince of Wales. 1846 01:36:26,760 --> 01:36:31,080 Speaker 12: Yeah, significant step. I think it's her first official public 1847 01:36:31,120 --> 01:36:35,559 Speaker 12: engagement since she finished her chemotherapy treatment and she visited 1848 01:36:35,720 --> 01:36:40,280 Speaker 12: southpot which is in northwest England and where three children 1849 01:36:40,360 --> 01:36:42,439 Speaker 12: were killed in a knife attack back in July that 1850 01:36:42,560 --> 01:36:47,280 Speaker 12: we were reporting on.
