1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: Pressing the newsmakers to get the real story. It's Heather 2 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: duplicy Ellen Drive with One New Zealand let's get connected. 3 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 2: You stalk said, be. 4 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 3: Hey, good afternoon, welcome to the show. Coming up today, 5 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 3: we're going to go to Florida for the latest on 6 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 3: the Trump assassination attempt. After five, the Polkinghorn trial is 7 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 3: wrapping up. The prosecutors have said what the most compelling 8 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 3: evidence against him is? They think at least and Nikola 9 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 3: Willis is with us as per usual. 10 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 4: After six o'clock, ever, duplicy Ellen. 11 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 3: Weirdly, Okay, my first reaction to the news this morning 12 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 3: that someone had tried to shoot Donald Trump was not shock. 13 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 3: Isn't that weird? Miss? Someone tried to shoot again a 14 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 3: past president of the United States, a man who could 15 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,639 Speaker 3: well be president again in just a few months, and 16 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 3: who was one of the most famous men on the 17 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 3: earth at this point in time. I wasn't shocked that 18 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 3: they tried to shoot him. I think it's a combination 19 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 3: of things. I think it's because it's the second attempt 20 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 3: on his life in just the last few months. I 21 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 3: think it's because, unlike the first, he wasn't actually there 22 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 3: is no footage, so it feels a lot less dramatic. 23 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 3: Almost for us to be shocked, I feel like it 24 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 3: has to be more dramatic than the last time. I 25 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 3: also think it's because we know the depths of the 26 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 3: loathing for this man that some people in some groups 27 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 3: in the United States have. But I also think that 28 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 3: it's because we're getting a little used to political violence 29 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,279 Speaker 3: in the States. I mean, he's had a previous attempt 30 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 3: on his life. There was the assault on Nancy Pelosi's husband, 31 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 3: Capital Riots and so on. I think it's becoming just 32 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 3: ever so slightly normalized. The first thing I actually did 33 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 3: think instead of shock was to it was to wonder 34 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 3: whether this actually will help him to get re elected, 35 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 3: And after thinking about it for a few hours, I 36 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,839 Speaker 3: don't think it will. And I think it's largely because 37 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 3: we're not shocked, right. I don't think that this is 38 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 3: an experience unique to me, and I think there will 39 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 3: not be an outpouring of sympathy this time like there 40 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 3: was last time, no rallying around the flag effect. Probably 41 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 3: the best that Donald Trump will get from this is 42 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 3: just a lot of extra media coverage. Now that's good 43 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 3: for him. That is extremely helpful. Right, because what are 44 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 3: we not talking about again? We're not talking about Karmela 45 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 3: are we? We're talking about Donald Trump. But the truth 46 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 3: of the matter is Donald Trump can and does generate 47 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 3: this kind of media coverage for himself quite easily, doesn't 48 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 3: need the help of an assassination attempt to do it 49 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 3: so weirdly and like absolutely bizarrely. Rather than this being 50 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 3: something incredible that's just happened, this just feels like another 51 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 3: day in this US election campaign, doesn't it ever do? 52 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: For ce Allen, two is. 53 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 3: The text number. Standard text fees apply back here. Great 54 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 3: news for Hamilton and Dunedin trans Tasman flights are gonna 55 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 3: make a return next year. Jetstar has announced it's going 56 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 3: to operate three return flights a week from Hamilton and 57 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 3: Dunedin to the Gold Coast, and then four return flights 58 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 3: a week from Hamilton to Sydney starting in June next year. Now, 59 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 3: last time dneed An Airport had international flights was twenty twenty, 60 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 3: and the last time Hamilton had international flights was twenty twelve. 61 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 3: Jetstar Group CEO is Stephanie Tully has Stephanie. 62 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 5: Hi heaven, how are you doing? 63 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 3: I'm good? Thank you Hamilton hasn't been doing this for 64 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 3: twelve years. I mean they do, they still have the infrastructure. 65 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 5: They need to do a little bit of work, but 66 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 5: they're very excited to have jets doted. This is the 67 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 5: first time jets will fly into Hamilton. So we're really 68 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 5: excited about the work we've done with Hamilton Airport to 69 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 5: get this going. And obviously, as you said, Dunedin as well. 70 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, what kind of work do they have to do 71 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 3: to set it up? 72 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 5: I think they've just got a bit of touch up 73 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 5: to do on their whole customs and immigration sort of 74 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 5: areas because obviously they haven't had international flying for a while. 75 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 5: But apart from that, I think the airport's good to 76 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 5: go to. Just obviously where the flights start next June, 77 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 5: so they've got a bit of time to make sure 78 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 5: they're ready for us. 79 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 3: Why are you doing this? Why are you flying into 80 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 3: those two spots instead of Auckland. 81 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 5: Oh, look, we just think there's opportunity for jet It's 82 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 5: what we do. We open up new demand and we 83 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 5: look at those catchments, both Hamilton and need and we 84 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 5: see growth and we see lots of opportunity and some 85 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 5: fantastic tourism spots nearby, so it's you know, it's an 86 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 5: alternative way to enter the North Island, which we think 87 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 5: is a good idea. 88 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 3: This is not designed to put pressure on All Clan Airport. 89 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 5: I look, our jobs just to provide lowfares to customers 90 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 5: and if it puts pressure on auk On airport, that's 91 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,839 Speaker 5: not a bad thing, Heaver. But our job is really 92 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 5: stimulate the demand and we think there'll be a great 93 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 5: demand both ways to Hamilton. And as you say, it's 94 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 5: an alternative which is good for competition, because. 95 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not wrong if I think that you 96 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 3: guys are annoyed about what's going on at All Clan 97 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 3: the airport and the fact that they're going to push 98 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:24,679 Speaker 3: the fees up right. 99 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 5: Absolutely, We've said for a long time that we think 100 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 5: that the infrastructure, their buildings not fit for purpose and 101 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 5: therefore the costs are high and for an ellen that 102 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 5: just so. We see our role as providing lowfares and 103 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 5: competition in the New Zealand market and we'd hate to 104 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 5: see cost got to a point where it puts that 105 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 5: at risk at all. So we absolutely think there needs 106 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 5: to be intervention on that. Heather, What kind of intervention 107 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 5: I would love the government to look at how they 108 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 5: can play a regulatory role with that. And ultimately our 109 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 5: job is to make sure that gets our stays around 110 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 5: and our fairs stay low. And our job is to 111 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 5: I had a real competitor for your national carrier over there, 112 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 5: so we you know, we our job is to make 113 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 5: sure that the cost of the right amount so we 114 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 5: can keep providing warfares to New Zealanders. 115 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 3: So what do you want Auckland Airport to do? Just 116 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 3: scale back what they're planning. 117 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, we think that it's overdone for what's needed. There's 118 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 5: lots of examples across Australia of similar sized airports that 119 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 5: have not nearly spent that much in their redevelopments. So 120 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 5: we think there's definitely opportunities and we've provided some of 121 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 5: that input that there's an opportunity to or less a 122 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 5: grand infrastructure development. And we're not sure that the right 123 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 5: consultation went on from the airport in this process, so 124 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 5: we're really keen that that happens and that obviously jet 125 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 5: Staff stays as a competitor in both the domestic and 126 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 5: the trans Tasmin markets. 127 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 3: Hey, so how big is the catchment? Do you think 128 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 3: of people who would travel to Hamilton Airport to fly 129 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 3: out of there. 130 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 5: Oh look, it's it's not that far from Auckland, as 131 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 5: you know, probably better than me. But also a lot 132 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 5: of people during COVID I understand, moved down that way 133 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 5: as well, and we're commuting back to Auckland and it's 134 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 5: close to Obviously the road ERU and the Theay have plenty, 135 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 5: so there's lots of opportunity. I think all of you 136 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 5: heading down to Taupa as i am in December, you know, 137 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 5: there's a lot of opportunity to have that alternate entrance 138 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 5: to the North Island, which I think it'll be really 139 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 5: appreciated by not only the New Zealanders as a way 140 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 5: of getting over to Sydney and the Gold Coast, but 141 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,679 Speaker 5: also there's a lot of New Zealanders living in Sydney 142 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 5: and the Gold Coast that will appreciate that direct direct flight. 143 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 6: Yeah. 144 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 3: And then the Dunedan thing. I mean, if I was 145 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 3: sitting in Sydney and want to come to New Zealand, 146 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 3: I'd fly into Queenstown, not Dunedan. So is this more 147 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 3: about flying out of New Zealand. 148 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 5: It's both ways. Dunedan's the second biggest city in the 149 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 5: South Island. And there's we think the right flows both ways. Again, 150 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 5: there's visiting friends and relatives. There's also people that many 151 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 5: Australians and other countries that come into New Zealand. They 152 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 5: start at one end of the country and end up 153 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 5: at the other end. So it gives you the opportunity 154 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 5: to really see, you know, the beauty of New Zealand. 155 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 3: Stephanie, thank you really appreciate your time. That Stephanie Tully 156 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 3: Jetstar Group CEO on the assassination attempt apparently, so what 157 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 3: happened if you haven't followed, this is basically the Secret 158 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,239 Speaker 3: Service guys or whoever spotted the barrel of the rifle 159 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 3: sticking out of the bush, and so they fired on him, 160 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 3: and he took off in his little in the sand 161 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 3: or whatever the car was, and they went to check 162 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 3: out his belongings that eventually got a hold of him. 163 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 3: But they checked out his belongings left behind in the bush, 164 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 3: and they found two backpacks and each of them had 165 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 3: ceramic tiles in them. Now why, obviously, Well, one theory 166 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 3: is that it is possible that he may have planned this, 167 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 3: as the suspect may have planned to use the backpacks 168 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 3: as body armor, because the ceramic tiles or plates are 169 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 3: likely the kind that they use as protection from gunfire. 170 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 3: So presumably you put the tile in the backpack, put 171 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 3: the back one on the front, one on the back, 172 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 3: and therefore you're a little bit safe. Didn't have them 173 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 3: on him, though, so that wasn't a good plan, was it? 174 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 3: Quarter past? 175 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: Digging deeper into the day's headlines, it's Heather Duper c 176 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: Allen Drave with One New Zealand one. 177 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 6: J E. 178 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: Leaf for Business US Talks b Sport with tab Get 179 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: your Bed on R eighteen, Bet Responsibly. 180 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 3: Jason Pine Sports Talking Weekend Sport host, Hey Piney. 181 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 2: Hello, Heather. 182 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 3: The black Fern's a charming off the field, but on 183 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 3: the field not so good. 184 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 7: M Yeah, they were twenty four nieled down to They 185 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 7: lost twenty four to twelve. Got a cople of late tries. 186 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 7: England are just quite good. I know that that is, 187 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 7: you know, that's only one part of the equation and 188 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 7: we need to get better. 189 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 2: But that's two tests now. They've beaten us. 190 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 7: They beat us in the back in the last year 191 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 7: in WXV one and again over the weekend. 192 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 2: We've got another crack at them in about three. 193 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 7: Weeks and this this year's edition of w x V 194 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 7: one they host the World Cup. Next year final will 195 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 7: be at Twickenham, so it's given our team a chance 196 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 7: to play there. But yeah, I've better catching up to do. 197 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 7: I think you would say, over the next twelve months 198 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 7: or so. 199 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 3: Do you feel like who ever named this competition WXV 200 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 3: one stuff that up? Yeah, it's I mean today on 201 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 3: paper it looks also, Yeah, saying it out loud is 202 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:03,319 Speaker 3: really bad. 203 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 7: I think graphically probably okay, lots of you know, lots 204 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 7: of straight lines and sharp edges. But yeah, WXV one. 205 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 7: If you walked down the street and said, oh, hey, 206 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 7: you're going to be watching the WXV one, people would say, 207 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 7: what are. 208 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 3: You talking about? Talking about motor racing for a start, Yes, yes, yeah, yes, yeah. 209 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 3: I feel like maybe I feel like if anybody from 210 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 3: ENZR is listening to this, or whoever's in charge of this, 211 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 3: maybe they need to change that. Piney, Now, this Commonwealth 212 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 3: Games thing is fascinating to me, right, So Glasgow's going 213 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 3: to do it in twenty twenty six. They are up 214 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 3: against it. Can they seriously do it? 215 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 2: Yeah? 216 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 7: Well, what they do have is the infrastructure from twenty fourteen. 217 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 7: They hosted it in twenty fourteen, so a lot of 218 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 7: the stuff is still there. Money wise Australia, you know Victoria, 219 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 7: see yeah, will do it and then they said, oh no, 220 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 7: we're not going to do it anymore. Part of having 221 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 7: to get out of that, or trying to get out 222 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 7: of it, was that they have said, look, if it 223 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 7: goes over a certain budget, Glasgow will give you the rest, 224 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 7: will underwrite anyway. Why are they doing that? I think 225 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 7: they feel bad for renegging. I think they feel bad 226 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 7: for pulling out Australia and you man. 227 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 3: Come on, you think Australians are going to part with 228 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 3: hard cold cash because that feel bad? 229 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 7: I think they will, and they budgeted the money anyway. Honestly, 230 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 7: I know it's a rare thing to try and get 231 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 7: your head around. But no, I think they because they 232 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 7: said you will do it and then they haven't. 233 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 3: They've basically worried about reputational risk curacy. 234 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 2: Yes, I think. I think. 235 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 7: So They're hosting the Olympic Games and where's and wins 236 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 7: Brisbane twenty what I went now, twenty twenty four, twenty 237 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 7: thirty two is in Brisbane, So you don't you don't 238 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 7: want to annoy the sporting world. It'll be scale back 239 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 7: as well either, you know, we won't. At the last 240 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 7: Commonwealth Games there were twenty three sports by my account, 241 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 7: I think twenty twenty six left ten to thirteen from 242 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 7: what I'm reading, So it'll be scale back a little bit. 243 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 7: We'll have athletics and swimming and then I guess it'll 244 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 7: be a bonfight for the rest. 245 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 3: Piney, I've read that it's privately funded. Who's funding it? 246 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 7: Well, I think I read that too, and I'm I'm 247 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 7: at a bit of a loss to work it out. 248 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 2: I think a lot. 249 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 7: I mean, usually these things are funded by government, right 250 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 7: Natral government or in the case of Victoria state government, 251 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 7: which was why they said, you know what, We're not 252 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 7: going to subject our ratepayers to what will be a 253 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 7: massive financial hit. So no, I don't know who's funding. 254 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 7: I presume some very very generous and rich sporting fanatics 255 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 7: from Scotland. 256 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 3: Now, Piney, you've been around a long enough time, so 257 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 3: you'll be one of the best judges of this, I 258 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 3: would imagine. But how is this going to play out 259 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 3: for the common Games? Is this the sort of just 260 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 3: the death wobble as it sort of slowly works its 261 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 3: way towards being an irrelevancy. 262 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 7: I think it probably more likely is a move towards 263 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 7: a reimagined Commonwealth Games. It won't be the same as 264 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 7: it's been, you know, excuse me down the years. It'll 265 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,119 Speaker 7: be something that's hosted perhaps by more than one city, 266 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 7: by a country. New Zealand, you know, have put in 267 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 7: an expression of interest for twenty thirty four, but they've said, look, 268 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 7: it's not just going to be one city. 269 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 2: We want to spread it around. 270 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 7: So that might be what it looks like it might be, 271 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 7: you know, like I say, a scale down version, fewer sports, 272 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 7: that sort of thing. 273 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 2: I think the Commonwealth Games will survive. 274 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 7: I think this was a real threat to it, and 275 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 7: I think if Glasgow hadn't picked it up then I'm 276 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 7: not sure that there would have been anymore. Yeah, nobody 277 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 7: is but for twenty thirty yet. So yeah, I think 278 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 7: it's just a reimagination of what it actually looks like. 279 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 3: Piney, thank you look after yourself. There's Jason Pine and 280 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 3: Sports Talk Coast and also weekend sport host Listen.

When the husband said to 284 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 3: me this morning, pizza huts are brought back for a 285 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 3: limited time for all you can eat buffet. I thought, 286 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 3: that's a good time, right there, bound to happen. Sold 287 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 3: out in an hour it went on. So this is 288 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 3: only in Auckland, by the way, not even around the country. 289 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 3: And they had to release tickets to this event because 290 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 3: it's a pop up that's been hosted in central Auckland, 291 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 3: not even in a Pizza Hut site. Do Andy, does 292 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 3: Pizza Hut still exist?

I'm sure of it. Full 306 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 3: twenty three. 307 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: Digging deeper into the day's headlines, it's Heather Duper Clan 308 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: drive with one New Zealand let's get connected and us. 309 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 3: Talk said big thank you for the explanation.

Okay, So this morning, when I was 321 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 3: talking to the producer about the Donald Trump assassination attempt, 322 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 3: she said to me her first thought that he was 323 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 3: that he'd staged the whole thing, And I thought, geez, 324 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 3: I work with a lunatic. I have got a series 325 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 3: of text messages, and I'm not like multiple multiple text 326 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 3: messages saying the same thing, Heather, How did the guy 327 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 3: know that Donald Trump would be at the golf course? 328 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 3: Has a bit of a smell to it, doesn't it? 329 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 3: Hither This assassination attempt seems a bit stage. Hither My 330 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 3: first thought read Trump was that he set the set 331 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 3: this up himself to generate publicity. Come on here that 332 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 3: the shooting was clearly staged. Here the knowing Trump and 333 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 3: how desperate to hears this attempted assassination wouldn't surprise me 334 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 3: if it was set up by him and those close 335 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 3: to him as a false flag. What does that say? 336 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 3: I mean, look, I really doubt that, but obviously I 337 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 3: Laura the producers, not a lunatic. This has obviously occur 338 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 3: to a lot of people. What does that say about 339 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 3: our trust in politics and politicians that it's fallen through 340 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 3: the floor. We think they even stage assassination attempt. I'm 341 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 3: gonna go to Florida after five o'clock at the latest 342 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 3: on what we know about the guy who tried to 343 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 3: do it. The single most significant piece of evidence in 344 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 3: the Polkinghorn trial according to the prosecutors they've laid out 345 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 3: today because they're doing their closing arguments. We're in the 346 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 3: final stages of this trial. They reckon, it's evidence from 347 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 3: her best friends, this is Pauline Hannah, that he had 348 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 3: tried to strangle her already once and she told them 349 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 3: this thirteen months before she died. They reckon, that's the 350 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 3: game changer. They reckon, that's the smoking gun right there. 351 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 3: She says he tried to do it one time. Thirteen 352 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 3: months later, she's dead by strangulation. We're going to talk 353 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 3: to our court reporter. Also ten past five or thereabouts. 354 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 3: Headline's next.

I'm sure Burier we across them as well. 366 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 3: Got a new poll out Taxpayers Union Curier poll. A 367 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 3: couple of interesting things. Nationals up one point four points 368 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 3: to thirty nine. Act is down point three, I mean 369 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 3: the down point three in New Zealand first down point five. 370 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 3: That stuff hardly matters, you know, So Acts on eight 371 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 3: point eight, let's rounded up, say nine, New Zealand first 372 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 3: on seven. Labor Is dour Is on twenty six, up 373 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 3: zero point eight points. Sabati Mahdi is up one point 374 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 3: five points to five. That will be So that's an 375 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 3: interesting thing because that will be the result of the 376 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 3: Treaty Principals bill conversation. Right, they are reaping the rewards 377 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 3: of that. They're up to five percent. The Greens have 378 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 3: come back one point five points. That looks like it's 379 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 3: gone straight to the Maori party. They are on eleven percent. 380 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 3: That's Darlene Darline is hurting them. Darlene is weirdly hurting 381 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 3: them more than Goldris hurt them more than Julianjina shouting 382 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 3: and people's faces hurt them. All of that stuff, because 383 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 3: I think it's their own incompetence in handling the thing 384 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 3: that's hurting them on this one. The other interesting thing 385 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 3: is that Christopher Luxen has come back as the preferred 386 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 3: prime minister to thirty three percent. He's come back a 387 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 3: couple of points. Chris Hopkins, I mean, Chris Hopkins is 388 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 3: beyond repair here. I would imagine he's sitting on thirteen percent. 389 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 3: He's come back six points. Barrysop will give us his 390 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 3: thoughts when he's with us in about ten minutes. It's 391 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 3: twenty three away from five. 392 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: It's the world wires on News Talks, Ey Drive for me. 393 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 3: US President Donald Trump will not debate Karmala Harris again. 394 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 3: He's ruled out the possibility of a second debate ball 395 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 3: third if you include the Biden world while speaking at 396 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 3: a campaign event. 397 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 9: So, because we've done two debates and because they were successful, 398 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 9: there will be no third debate. It's too late anyway, 399 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 9: the voting's already begun. You gotta go out and vote. 400 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 3: Ukraine is seeking permission from its allies to strike targets 401 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 3: inside Russia with long range missiles. 402 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 10: If this decision is made, it will mean nothing other 403 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 10: than direct but this supation of NATO countries, the United 404 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 10: States European countries in the war in Ukraine, and this 405 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 10: of course significantly changes the very essence of the conflict. 406 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 3: He has a little bit more information on the suspect 407 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 3: in the Donald Trump assassination attempt. 408 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 11: Ryan Wesley Ralph, fifty eight year old individual who has 409 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 11: lived in Hawaii, has worked as a construction worker in 410 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 11: North Carolina, is in Florida today in custody.

You know, Australians beat the New Zealander 487 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 13: isn't something else, like it's just easy to. 488 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 6: Rub it in. 489 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, I can see cheap wins there, but you 490 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 3: know that's okay, whatever cost Well in your case it's 491 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 3: very bloody expensive wins. To be honest. Hey, this old 492 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 3: chap who was found dead after waiting for the ambo, 493 00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 3: what happened here terrible. 494 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 13: So he fell in his home in Victoria on Saturday 495 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 13: night at about two am, and his neighbors could hear 496 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 13: his cries for help. They called an ambulance. This our 497 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 13: neighbors had a fall. It took four hours for an 498 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 13: ambulance to arrive. At six o'clock in the morning he 499 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 13: was dead. And Victorian Ambulance authorities, the paramedics, they had 500 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 13: fifty crews header call in sick on Saturday night, so 501 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 13: you can understand there's so under stuff. They't had about 502 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 13: ninety crews on the road. And you know, our hospitals 503 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,360 Speaker 13: are choked at the moment. I'm sure it's the same 504 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 13: in New Zealand where ambulance as sit for hours and 505 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 13: hours on ends outside hospitals with patients who are ramped 506 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 13: and they can't clear those patients out of their responsibility 507 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 13: before going to get the next patient. But that is 508 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 13: just a horrible situation. The Ambulance Union of Victoria is 509 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 13: looking into it. They say it's a terrible situation. Shouldn't 510 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 13: have happened, obviously reports being prepared for the coroner, but 511 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 13: you would expect a lot better service out of that. 512 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 13: If you're calling triple zero for a paramedic on a 513 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 13: Saturday night. 514 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 3: Who, right, did anybody go and hang out with the 515 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 3: old chep while he was lonely? 516 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 13: That's what we don't know. I mean, if you're the 517 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 13: neighbor and you hear somebody screaming out for help, then 518 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,360 Speaker 13: surely you're going in as well to see if they're 519 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 13: okay or try and break down the door, right, And 520 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 13: if you haven't heard an ambulance, or if you're the 521 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 13: person that made that phone call and an ambulance hasn't 522 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 13: arrived within fifteen twenty minutes, I mean, I'd be doing 523 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 13: everything I can to try and expedite the urgency of saying, hey, 524 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 13: I've now tried to knock knock on his door's not 525 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 13: opening the door. You might not be here anymore. What's 526 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 13: going on? So we don't know that level of detail yet, 527 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 13: but it's just a terrible situation. This could happen in Melbourne, 528 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 13: Victoria on the weekend. 529 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 3: Quite by the way. On another subject, so I quite 530 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 3: like the fact that Albanize is holding the line on 531 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 3: the social media bullies. 532 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 13: Aim, Look, it is good. I mean there's a little 533 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 13: bit in this. It's a little bit of cat and mouse. 534 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 13: Don't get me wrong. I think the idea of the 535 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 13: age limit to help people and to help parents and 536 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 13: to set a bit of an example is good. I've 537 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 13: come full circle on it. But there's a bit of 538 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 13: cat and mouse in this in terms of the social 539 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 13: media organizations not wanting to pay Australian news companies, you know, 540 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 13: again a pretty penny for that content. 541 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 6: So I like that. I see. 542 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 3: Also, are you suggesting, Olie that because of the debate 543 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 3: that's happening about paying media for news content, Albanize has 544 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 3: decided to crack down on them on the age limit 545 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 3: for kiddies, to kind of punish them. 546 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,959 Speaker 13: Awey bit on, Oh yeah, got on to say, hey, 547 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 13: you're not given to give us the cash, Well, I'm 548 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 13: going to make life more difficult for you. I would 549 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 13: hazard a guest header. If all of a sudden, Elon 550 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 13: Musk and Mark Zuckerberd say you know what, We'll continue 551 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 13: to pay for Australian news and content. I reckon this 552 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 13: issue would disappear. 553 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 15: Do you really think so? 554 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 3: But what about the kids? 555 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 13: Absolutely, well, everybody can be bought, can't I? 556 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 3: Who cares about the kids? Ollie? 557 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 6: Thank you? 558 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 3: I appreciated, Oliver Peters and six PR Perth Life presenter. Actually, 559 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 3: I'm planning to talk to Nikola Willis, the Finance Minister 560 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 3: about this when she's with us six o'clock after six o'clock, 561 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 3: because she is the mother of four kids. Her kids 562 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 3: will be around about the age the eldest at least 563 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 3: where they will be starting to get into the old 564 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 3: social medium begging now can I have a phone? Can 565 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 3: I have a phone? Can I have a phone? You 566 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 3: know that kind of carry on. Get her take on 567 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 3: what we're going to do because Luxein's kept the door 568 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 3: open to the possibility that we do actually ban the 569 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 3: social media for kids under whatever age, but hasn't said 570 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 3: much more. They've been quite non committal on it. So 571 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 3: where are we at with it? Are we going to 572 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 3: do it? Would we use it as leverage if they 573 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,959 Speaker 3: don't pay up for the news media with a digital 574 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 3: bargaining bill and so on and so on. So we'll 575 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 3: have a chat to her about that after six o'clock. 576 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 3: Barry Soap is next Quarter two. 577 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 1: Politics with centrics credit, check your customers and get payments. 578 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 3: Certainty Barry Soaper, senior political correspondence with US Now. 579 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 2: Hi, Barry, good afternoon. 580 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,439 Speaker 3: Heyes, So the announcement in the post cabinet press conference 581 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 3: today is that they're going to do the sentencing changes 582 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 3: this week. 583 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 8: Yes, they are, and it's rather interesting that at the 584 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 8: very same time they looked at the targets. Who remember 585 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:37,479 Speaker 8: they set themselves quarterly targets. One was on emergency housing. 586 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 8: That's looking good. That target is quite healthy. But one 587 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 8: target that certainly isn't as good as what they would expected. 588 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 8: They were hoping to have twenty thousand fewer people that 589 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 8: were victim of a violent assault well or a sexual 590 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 8: assault or robbery, but the June reporters found that the 591 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 8: number had increased by thirty thousand over the period that 592 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 8: was captured. So with that in mind, then they tell 593 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 8: us the good news about sentencing. So it was I 594 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 8: guess to deflect from properly what was a bit of 595 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 8: a failure there. But the sentencing bill will come in 596 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 8: this week, so they're getting on with it. They'll be 597 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 8: capping sentence discounts, as we know by judges at forty 598 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 8: percent you know how they take all sorts of things 599 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 8: into account, preventing repeat discounts for youth and for those 600 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:35,719 Speaker 8: who show remorse. They are encouraging the use of cumulative 601 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 8: sentences for offenses committed while on bail or on parole. 602 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 8: And the interesting thing is that there's a two additional 603 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 8: things that they're going to look at in this bill 604 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 8: that comes in this week, and it was a labor idea. 605 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 8: One is adults who exploit children and young people by 606 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 8: aiding and obetting them to offend. That'll become part of 607 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 8: this new sending law. And defenders who glorify their criminal 608 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 8: activities by live streaming or posting them online, there'll also 609 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 8: be another offense. 610 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:08,719 Speaker 6: Now. 611 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 8: Paul Goldsmith, who was standing alongside Chris Luxon at the 612 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 8: news conference today, he says even tougher laws could be 613 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 8: introduced for glorifying crimes and this could be just the start. 614 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 16: These changes send a clear message that social media cannot 615 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 16: be a tool to glorify or celebrate the actions of 616 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 16: callous individuals, nor should the adults exploit children and young 617 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 16: people in the commission of crime. We think it's important 618 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 16: to reinforce to the courts that victims interests should always 619 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 16: be at the front of mind and sentencing. Today you've 620 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 16: heard what the government has agreed to, but now we 621 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 16: want to hear from you New Zealanders as to whether 622 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 16: this goes far enough. We're open for change, We're open 623 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 16: to going further so. 624 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 8: That going further select committee process, people can have their own. 625 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 3: There verry apart from the fact that they've announced that 626 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 3: they're doing it this week, is there anything actually substantially. 627 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 2: New in this No, not from what we already know. 628 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 3: Okay, so am I wrong in starting to get a 629 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 3: little irritated by this? This is exactly the kind of 630 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 3: stuff that the last government was doing. The doing government 631 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 3: was announcements of announcements of announcements of announcements, and then 632 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 3: you'd have like seven announcements before you actually got. 633 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 8: The The new announcement here is that it is coming 634 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 8: in this week, and you know. 635 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 3: There's well that's not exciting, is it? 636 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 6: Just do it? 637 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 8: It's coming in this week? 638 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 3: Getting on my tap toping so frustrated? 639 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 8: For goodness, it takes time. 640 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 3: To go you what can I tell you where I'm 641 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 3: coming from.

That's the 647 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 8: point that I'm making a legislator. The legislative process does 648 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 8: take some time. 649 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 3: Oh, thank you for explaining that. 650 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 13: Very all right. 651 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 3: What do you make of the poll? 652 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 8: Well, you know, I mean it's it's okay, but it's 653 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 8: I don't think there'll be dancing in the aisles on 654 00:28:58,640 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 8: this one. 655 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 3: That there's the Darians hurt the Greens that way. 656 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 8: So yes, absolutely, this is the taxpayers Union curier pole. 657 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 8: National's gone up one point four percent. Well again not 658 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 8: a lot, but it's on thirty percent, again not a 659 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 8: high rating for a party of this age. And Government 660 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 8: Labors are up itself by point eighty percent. Again neither 661 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 8: here nor there. They are on twenty six point seven percent, 662 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 8: so you know, they're pretty much evil even pegging these 663 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 8: two parties. The Greens are down one and a half percent. 664 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 8: But yeah, I mean, it's it's nothing to write home 665 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 8: about this pole. But the interesting thing is when you 666 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 8: look at the personal the preferred prime minister rating, that's 667 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 8: the thing that interests me. Now, Chris lax and he's 668 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 8: down from July one point eight percent to thirty two 669 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 8: point seven. But it's Chris Hopkins that'll be in fact 670 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 8: not very happy about that. He's down six point one 671 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 8: percent to just twelve and a half percent. So Hopkins 672 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 8: is not looking that good in Labor at the moment. 673 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 8: And I know there's quite a lot of talking. A 674 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 8: lot of people have asked me who's going to be 675 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 8: the next leader of the labor pather. 676 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 3: I mean this is a reflection of the fact that 677 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 3: I would say that everybody knows that he's just a 678 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 3: care tail. 679 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 8: Well, I think so yes, I think so yeah. I 680 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 8: think there's a general acceptance in the party of that. 681 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 3: Now, Barry, thank you. I really appreciate it's very so 682 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 3: for senior political correspondence eight away from five. 683 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: Putting the tough questions to the newspeakers, the mic asking breakfast. 684 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 18: Government's moving to all our unregistered teachers to relieve classes. 685 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 18: Unions don't like it because in the minister as Eric 686 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 18: at Stamford, who's with us. 687 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 19: What we're experiencing at the moment is a huge increase 688 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 19: in teacher sickness that's compounded with teachers out the classroom 689 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 19: through professional learning and development.

But when it comes to a motive 779 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:54,840 Speaker 3: as to why. 780 00:34:54,840 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 23: He may have allegedly carried out this attempted assassination, just 781 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 23: don't know. 782 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 3: There is a lot of criticism right now of the 783 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 3: Secret Service for the fact that this guy was able 784 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,359 Speaker 3: to get this close to Donald Trump. Should they not, also, though, 785 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 3: be praised for actually stopping it, And. 786 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,839 Speaker 23: Certainly there is both of that from both sides here 787 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 23: in Florida tonight. There is questions as to how you know, 788 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 23: for the second time in two months, could a person 789 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 23: with a weapon get within striking this stance of Donald Trump. 790 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 23: But look, the Secret Service certainly acted very quickly. 791 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 14: This time. 792 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,320 Speaker 23: It was an agent who was one hole ahead of 793 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 23: Donald Trump on the golf course. They scout ahead of 794 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,800 Speaker 23: the former president as he's playing, and they spotted that 795 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 23: tip of the rifle in the bushes coming through the 796 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 23: fence of the outskirts of Donald Trump's golf course, and 797 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 23: the move to act quickly, Around four to six shots 798 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 23: were fired, and that's what sent Ryan Ralph running to 799 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 23: his vehicle. So certainly praise for the Secret Service for 800 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 23: acting quickly there, but also questions as to why the 801 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,439 Speaker 23: perimeter of the golf course wasn't secured in the perth place, 802 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,760 Speaker 23: and local authorities here in West Palm Beach in Florida 803 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 23: are saying, Look, if he was the sitting president, it 804 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 23: may have been a different story. But it's certainly setting 805 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 23: an awful president of political violence here in the United States. 806 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,800 Speaker 3: It's too right, Lauren, do you think he gets a 807 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 3: bump in the polls? Does this help him to get 808 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 3: re elected or has the previous assassination attempt already pushed 809 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 3: that out to its maximum limit. 810 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,400 Speaker 23: Look, it's such a rocky road here on the polls 811 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 23: in the United States. It's been up and down, and 812 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,839 Speaker 23: this is an election cycle like you just we've never 813 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 23: seen before in America. After that last attet, did the 814 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 23: assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania a couple of months ago. Certainly 815 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 23: Donald Trump had that boost of support, as you say, 816 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 23: and he went into the Republican Convention riding that high. 817 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:53,359 Speaker 23: But then around comes car Laharis, changing up this road 818 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 23: to the White House once again things were different, and 819 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 23: it's been neck and neck in the polls now, so 820 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 23: how does this, you know, impact his supporters. We'll have 821 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 23: to wait and see. 822 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,360 Speaker 3: But look, the thing that is different here is. 823 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 23: This suspected shooter who is accused of carrying out or 824 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 23: trying to carry out this attempt at assassination is alive 825 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,760 Speaker 23: and he will be able to answer questions for police. 826 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 23: So there's a lot to unpack here, certainly. 827 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, Lawrence, and thank you very much for running us 828 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 3: through that. Lauren Tomasi Channel nine's US correspondent. 829 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 1: Heather Do for c Ellen. 830 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 3: The governments announced it will tough en up the sentencing 831 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 3: laws this week. They will include extra punishment for bragging 832 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 3: online about a crime, as well as using a youth 833 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 3: or a child to commit a crime. Justice Minister Paul 834 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 3: Goldsmith is with me. Hey, Paul, hi, how are you 835 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 3: very well? Thank you? How long before this is through 836 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:42,839 Speaker 3: the whole process and his law? 837 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 20: Well, we're going to introduce it later this week as 838 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,759 Speaker 20: his first reading goes off to Slick Committee where it's 839 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 20: in the hands Parliament. But my expectation is that'll be 840 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,239 Speaker 20: reported back at probably the end of January and past 841 00:37:58,320 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 20: early February. 842 00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 3: Good stuff, how much tougher. Will it be the sentences 843 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 3: for bragging online about a crime? 844 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,320 Speaker 20: Well, I mean that's up to the judges. But what 845 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 20: we're doing here is making that an aggravating factor when 846 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 20: it comes to sentencing. When somebody is caught and I've 847 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 20: done a particular crime, whether it's aggravated robbery or burglary, 848 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,319 Speaker 20: and it might be a sort of a starting point 849 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 20: at ten years, and then there's various discounts applied, and 850 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,719 Speaker 20: part of the main purpose of the legislation is to 851 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 20: reduce those number of discounts to forty percent. You might 852 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,319 Speaker 20: get a discount for pleading guilty, but were worried about 853 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,839 Speaker 20: all these excessive discounts that were being added. And then 854 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,319 Speaker 20: there's aggravating factors which go the other way and such 855 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 20: as being a gang member. And this is another one 856 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,320 Speaker 20: that we've added to that list to send a signal. So, 857 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 20: I mean, what Parliament does through the Sentencing Actor is 858 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 20: it sends the message to the judiciary and then they 859 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 20: apply their discretion. But the basic message that we're sending 860 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 20: is that we want tougher sentences and more real consequences 861 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:01,719 Speaker 20: for because that's what the community wants to see. 862 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 3: Why is the number of victims of violent crime up 863 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 3: by thirty thousand. 864 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 20: Well, the measure that we're using there is a survey, 865 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 20: it's the Victims of Crime Survey, and the question that's 866 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 20: asked is have you experienced crime in the past twelve months? 867 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 20: And so what we're looking at is a rolling sort 868 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,919 Speaker 20: of average over a year, and so that includes people 869 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 20: who were asked in July last year what they did, 870 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 20: what happened to them twelve months before, so there's a 871 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,840 Speaker 20: kind of a two year lag and so what I 872 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 20: think we're witnessing is that there was a big increase 873 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,720 Speaker 20: in violent crime last year that peaked and we're hoping 874 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 20: that it'll be starting to turn down. But I think 875 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 20: it represents the fact that we've still got a massive 876 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 20: challenge when it comes to violent crime. That's why we 877 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 20: more the things we're doing. 878 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 3: Paul, thank you, appreciate your time. Paul Goldsmith, the Justice 879 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,320 Speaker 3: Minister Heather to the Emmys. We can claim one of 880 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 3: the winners is our own love doing this, even if 881 00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 3: it's tenuous, but I reckon this is one of ours. 882 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:04,840 Speaker 3: Japanese act Anna Sawai has one Outstanding Lead Actress and 883 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,880 Speaker 3: she's one of the winners for Showgun, which is a 884 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,240 Speaker 3: Japanese series which has just cleaned up at the Emmys. 885 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,279 Speaker 3: She was born in New Zealand moved to Japan when 886 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 3: she was ten. Basically ours like that would be she's 887 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 3: she could be she could be five oh one, do 888 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 3: you know what I mean? So if she could be 889 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 3: five oh one, she's ours. We'll take the bad guys, 890 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 3: will take the good guys too, Anna Sawai one of ours. 891 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,959 Speaker 3: Outstanding Actor, Jeremy Allen White and The Bear Ebon moss 892 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,360 Speaker 3: a backrack one.

He's one Outstanding Supporting Actor. 894 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 3: Also in The Bear, which is also cleaned up by 895 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,000 Speaker 3: the way, and then Outstanding Supporting Actress also went to 896 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 3: The Actress and The Bear. Showgun won total of eighteen awards. 897 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,839 Speaker 3: Outstanding Actor and a Drama was one of the ones 898 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 3: that they also won. Actually, the guy who won that 899 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,240 Speaker 3: beat out the likes of Idris Alba and Gary Oldman 900 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,239 Speaker 3: and Dominic Wester. He's done really well. Unfortunately. Oh then 901 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,680 Speaker 3: also maybe Reindeer is one a few of those ones, 902 00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,160 Speaker 3: so you know, worth seeing. Unfortunately, what we do in 903 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 3: the Shadows, which is one of our locally made ones 904 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,400 Speaker 3: here didn't clean up anything at all. Fourteen pass. You're 905 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 3: going to talk about David Seymour in just a minute. 906 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:07,480 Speaker 14: Right now. 907 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 3: It's seventeen past five. Now we are on the very 908 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 3: last bit of the trial against Philip Polkinghorn. Today Crown prosecuted. 909 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 3: The Crown prosecutor summed up her case against Polkinghorn. 910 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 17: There is an arrogance and doctor Polkinghorn, I suggest that 911 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 17: you should not underestimate. The crown case is that he 912 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:34,480 Speaker 17: has taken his wife's life and he has blamed her 913 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:42,320 Speaker 17: for it. As he blamed her in life, he blames 914 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:43,920 Speaker 17: her in death. 915 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 3: Now Polkinghorn's case is actually that Pauline Hannah committed suicide. 916 00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,759 Speaker 3: She wasn't murdered. The Crown told the jury they have 917 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,640 Speaker 3: to decide what's true. This case is binary. 918 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 19: If it's not suicide, it's murder. 919 00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,879 Speaker 3: The Herald's court reporter George Block has been sitting through 920 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:00,799 Speaker 3: the trialers with us. 921 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 24: Now George evening here, how are you. 922 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,359 Speaker 3: I'm very well, thank you. What were the main points 923 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,279 Speaker 3: of the prosecution impressed on the jury today? 924 00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:13,000 Speaker 24: Essentially an Alisia mclintock's closing address today, which is almost finished. 925 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 24: She said that Polkinghorn in Hannah's lives were sort of 926 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,840 Speaker 24: on a collision course. Before her death. She said, Hannah 927 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,279 Speaker 24: was doing quite well or really well at work. She 928 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,960 Speaker 24: was by all accounts, holding it together despite some in 929 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,520 Speaker 24: the minute struggles. But on the other hand, polking Horn 930 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,439 Speaker 24: was using an increasing amount of myth, the prosecution said, 931 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:35,800 Speaker 24: and in her words, being an older white man didn't 932 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,080 Speaker 24: make him immune from the effects of methamphetamine. There was 933 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,879 Speaker 24: a thirty seven point seven grams found in his house 934 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:47,319 Speaker 24: indicating what the Crown said was regular use. And we've 935 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 24: heard from Crown the experts cited by the prosecutor Andy 936 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,920 Speaker 24: closing address, saying that that increases your aggression. And in 937 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,520 Speaker 24: the midst of all this, he was setting up a life, 938 00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 24: the prosecution said, with or planning. He set up a 939 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,920 Speaker 24: life medicination, This Ossie escort he was seeing. So the 940 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,600 Speaker 24: prosecution will say all those factors sort of conspired to 941 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 24: come to a sort of crescendo on April five, twenty 942 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,759 Speaker 24: twenty one, leading to what they said was there was 943 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 24: the strangulation of Pauline Hannah George. 944 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,399 Speaker 3: Throughout the trial, they talked about the fact that paul 945 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:18,799 Speaker 3: and Hannah died by strangulation. But there was nothing more 946 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,200 Speaker 3: than that, right, nothing exact about it. What did the 947 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:22,280 Speaker 3: crowns say about that today? 948 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 6: That's right. 949 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:28,120 Speaker 24: They said that if you had to solely rely on pathologists, 950 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,080 Speaker 24: then every case would be tried only by a pathologists. 951 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:31,279 Speaker 6: Right. 952 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 24: What Alicia McClintock's point was that the pathology is open. 953 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,520 Speaker 24: It leaves it says that she died via net compression. 954 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,120 Speaker 24: But all four pathologists said that you couldn't really determine 955 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:50,759 Speaker 24: if it was definitively strangulation or suicide by hanging. Now, 956 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:56,200 Speaker 24: the defense pathologist said that he would have concluded suicide 957 00:43:56,239 --> 00:44:00,400 Speaker 24: by hanging because the lack of defensive wounds, but the 958 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,600 Speaker 24: prosecutor said, no, that that just leaves the door open 959 00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 24: to any cause of net compression. And you had to 960 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:11,040 Speaker 24: look at the circumstantial evidence like Polkinhorn's Google searches right 961 00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:12,840 Speaker 24: after his wife's death, for example, And. 962 00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:14,960 Speaker 3: According to the crown, the most important piece of evidence 963 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:16,919 Speaker 3: they have is the fact that she had thirteen months 964 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,879 Speaker 3: earlier said that he tried to strangle her before. 965 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:20,680 Speaker 25: Yeah, that's right. 966 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,600 Speaker 24: Yeah, they seized on that as a real sign of 967 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,600 Speaker 24: likelihood of future domestic violence. We know they brought him 968 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:34,279 Speaker 24: that law right for strangulation attacks because someone strangling the 969 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,400 Speaker 24: intimate partner is such a predictor of future violence. And 970 00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,520 Speaker 24: Alisha McLintock said that that was the most important piece 971 00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,440 Speaker 24: of single piece of evidence, that he had put his 972 00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:45,279 Speaker 24: hands on her neck previously and said I could do 973 00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,400 Speaker 24: this any time, and that, she said, was a predictor 974 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,759 Speaker 24: of future violence. And that's what came to fruition on 975 00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:50,120 Speaker 24: that night. 976 00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,799 Speaker 3: She said, George, thank you very much for runningus through 977 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 3: and I appreciate your time very much. That's George Block. 978 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,680 Speaker 3: The Herald's Court report of five twenty one, the. 979 00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 1: Name you trust to get the answers you need had 980 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,400 Speaker 1: a dup to c Allen Drive with one New Zealand 981 00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:05,759 Speaker 1: let's get connected the New talk as they'd be. 982 00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,920 Speaker 3: Hey, now, if you've been following what the government's been 983 00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,200 Speaker 3: doing with the contractors and the Uber case, you'll be pleased. 984 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,520 Speaker 3: I'd imagine you'd be pleased to see that the government 985 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,160 Speaker 3: stepped in to fix up the contractor's law. And this 986 00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 3: is really freaking out there. They did this over the weekend. 987 00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:22,440 Speaker 3: It's really freaking out the unions and of course it's 988 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,960 Speaker 3: freaking out the unions. And if it's not obvious why 989 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,400 Speaker 3: it's freaking out the unions, I'll explain to you later why. 990 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,120 Speaker 3: But we're going to talk to Business New Zealand about 991 00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,399 Speaker 3: it in about twelve minutes time. It's five point twenty 992 00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,520 Speaker 3: four at the moment. Now I've got a bit of 993 00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,800 Speaker 3: respect for what David seem was admitted. Just over the weekend, 994 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,239 Speaker 3: he's written a chapter for a political science book about 995 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,120 Speaker 3: last year's election, and in this book he's admitted that 996 00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:45,280 Speaker 3: the single biggest mistake that caused the act Parties support 997 00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,120 Speaker 3: to collapse last year was a mistake that he himself 998 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,800 Speaker 3: had made. And the mistake was that he said publicly 999 00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:52,239 Speaker 3: that if he didn't get what he wanted out of 1000 00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,160 Speaker 3: National and Coalition negotiations, he just wouldn't join the government. 1001 00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,320 Speaker 3: He was going to sit on the cross benches. And 1002 00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,279 Speaker 3: if you remember Castile, mind back and remember that that's 1003 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,880 Speaker 3: exactly what happened. People freaked out and his support collapsed 1004 00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,399 Speaker 3: and it went over to National. His right to say 1005 00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,600 Speaker 3: that that was the big mistake, and we know it 1006 00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:09,759 Speaker 3: was the big mistake, but you know, even though you know, 1007 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,080 Speaker 3: it still takes a lot for the person who makes 1008 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,000 Speaker 3: the mistake, and especially one that big to admit it 1009 00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:18,680 Speaker 3: was them. So good on him for having the self awareness. However, 1010 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,360 Speaker 3: he might not want to just stop there with the 1011 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,640 Speaker 3: self examination because frankly, that was just one example, the 1012 00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,080 Speaker 3: most egregious one, but just one example of a pattern 1013 00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,040 Speaker 3: of behavior from David Seymour. Actually he can be a 1014 00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 3: bit of a brat, he really can. He's been doing 1015 00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,839 Speaker 3: it recently, even now that he's in government. He said 1016 00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:36,880 Speaker 3: he didn't believe Remember, if you think about the Treaty 1017 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,720 Speaker 3: Principle's Bill, said he didn't believe Chris Luxon. When Luxon 1018 00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 3: said he would kill the Treaty Principle's Bill after the 1019 00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:43,880 Speaker 3: second reading, he implied that Luxon would flip if the 1020 00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,239 Speaker 3: bill was popular. Now, he may or may not be right, 1021 00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,759 Speaker 3: but you don't say that out loud. About a week ago, 1022 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:50,400 Speaker 3: he revealed to media that he was going to kill 1023 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:54,480 Speaker 3: another cabinet minister's supermarket regulation. He also beat down the 1024 00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,520 Speaker 3: same cabinet minister over the buy now, Pay later scheme regulation, 1025 00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,960 Speaker 3: which the media then found out about stuff that had 1026 00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,239 Speaker 3: happened in cabinet. We're generally not supposed to find out 1027 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,359 Speaker 3: about that stuff, And if you cast your mind back 1028 00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,120 Speaker 3: to the COVID days, you'll remember there was another massive 1029 00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,239 Speaker 3: clanger from David Seymour, which was that he released the 1030 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,880 Speaker 3: Maori Party the Maori priority vaccination codes on Twitter. Do 1031 00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,759 Speaker 3: you remember now. I don't have a problem with his 1032 00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,800 Speaker 3: ideological position on any of these things. In fact, I 1033 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:20,799 Speaker 3: think he's right on most of them, if not all 1034 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,040 Speaker 3: of them. And politically, yes, he does need to hold 1035 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:25,840 Speaker 3: his line and he does need to let his voters 1036 00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,680 Speaker 3: know that he's holding his line on these things. But 1037 00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:30,520 Speaker 3: there is more than one way to skin a cat. 1038 00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,200 Speaker 3: It is possible to hold a line on something like 1039 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,719 Speaker 3: a statesman and not like a brat And judging by 1040 00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:38,480 Speaker 3: the fact that David Seymour is still being a wee 1041 00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,560 Speaker 3: bit bratty about it in the last week, even that's 1042 00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,160 Speaker 3: still something that is a distinction he clearly still needs 1043 00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:45,800 Speaker 3: to figure out for himself. But he might want to 1044 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 3: figure that one out because the way our politics works 1045 00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,640 Speaker 3: in New Zealand, it's slightly presidential. Voters have to like 1046 00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,600 Speaker 3: what you do, but they also have to like you. 1047 00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,440 Speaker 1: Heather duper se Ellen. 1048 00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,200 Speaker 3: Talk to the huddle about it when they are with us. 1049 00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,520 Speaker 3: Very shortly Joe SPIEGANI and David Farrell will bear us 1050 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,319 Speaker 3: this evening. If you're looking for an e scooter, boy, 1051 00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 3: have I got a bag and for you? You know 1052 00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,800 Speaker 3: Beam e scooters. These are the ones that got themselves 1053 00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,399 Speaker 3: canceled for a bit of I'm gonna get in trouble 1054 00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,160 Speaker 3: if I say they're being a bit dishonest. Now they 1055 00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,719 Speaker 3: were being dishonest, hard out. They were being dishonest and 1056 00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,360 Speaker 3: they got busted anyway. They had their license canceled in 1057 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,880 Speaker 3: Auckland and Wellington. So where is the result. They're selling 1058 00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:26,120 Speaker 3: off the scooters now, these apparently are Segway scooters. The 1059 00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,080 Speaker 3: retail equivalent is fifteen hundred bucks. If you buy them 1060 00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:31,720 Speaker 3: new fifteen hundred bucks. You can buy them from Beam 1061 00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:35,040 Speaker 3: right now for towe ninety nine. Hey, how about that? 1062 00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,080 Speaker 3: You can buy one of those scooters and then you 1063 00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,360 Speaker 3: can go to Pizza Hut and buy two pizzas you 1064 00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,720 Speaker 3: still have money left over. Headlines next, he still said. 1065 00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:42,680 Speaker 24: Be. 1066 00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,719 Speaker 1: On your smart speaker, on the iHeart app, and in 1067 00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,720 Speaker 1: your car on your drive Heather due to see allan 1068 00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:05,120 Speaker 1: drive with one New Zealand let's get connected, and news 1069 00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:05,960 Speaker 1: Talk said be. 1070 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:09,239 Speaker 6: Still bread. 1071 00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,480 Speaker 3: I'm planning by going to be with us very shortly 1072 00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,839 Speaker 3: and Nikola Willis Finance Minister after six o'clock. Heather, aren't 1073 00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,200 Speaker 3: you a brat most times? Yep? But I'm not trying 1074 00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:25,120 Speaker 3: to get elected, am I? Who ever said a radio 1075 00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,480 Speaker 3: host with statesman like right? So I get away with it. 1076 00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:28,960 Speaker 3: I think I've got a free bounce on that one. 1077 00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,520 Speaker 3: Hither I disagree. I like David symore just the way 1078 00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:33,359 Speaker 3: he is and for what he does. I'm sure I'm 1079 00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:37,160 Speaker 3: not the only one. Don't change David. David made by 1080 00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,440 Speaker 3: the way, David made a very very good point on 1081 00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,080 Speaker 3: the media that is absolutely worth discussing. I'm going to 1082 00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,239 Speaker 3: run you through it later because I reckon he's bang on. 1083 00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,000 Speaker 3: What's going wrong with the country, with the media in 1084 00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:48,520 Speaker 3: this country at the moments. We'll deal with it in 1085 00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,520 Speaker 3: the next hour or so. Now, at the moment, it's 1086 00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,279 Speaker 3: twenty four away from six, the government is stepping into 1087 00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,839 Speaker 3: tidy up the contract, a situation created by the Uber 1088 00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:59,160 Speaker 3: court decision. The courts have created a bit of confusion 1089 00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,239 Speaker 3: here because they rule that for Uber drivers were actually employees, 1090 00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:05,240 Speaker 3: not contractors. Catherine Beard is the advocacy director at Business 1091 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,200 Speaker 3: New Zealand. Hi Katherine, Hi you think very well? 1092 00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:08,440 Speaker 6: Thank you? 1093 00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,440 Speaker 3: Do these do you think these four tests that the 1094 00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,600 Speaker 3: government is introducing will will basically clear the situation up? 1095 00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:19,279 Speaker 25: Yes, absolutely, It's makes it very clear what definition and 1096 00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:23,000 Speaker 25: a contractor is. And we've been advocating for this to happen. 1097 00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:28,279 Speaker 25: You know, we feel that that court case potentially put 1098 00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:32,240 Speaker 25: at risk all platform kind of business models, but potentially 1099 00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:38,160 Speaker 25: also anyone in business who uses contractors. So yeah, nobody 1100 00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:41,520 Speaker 25: really wants to end up in court. It's expensive, it 1101 00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:47,640 Speaker 25: creates uncertainty, and this will just give everyone, including contractors, 1102 00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,520 Speaker 25: a much better idea of where they stand. 1103 00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,239 Speaker 3: What was going on here that this actually happened. Was 1104 00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:54,600 Speaker 3: there just some sort of like ambiguity in the in 1105 00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:56,320 Speaker 3: the legislation around contractors or what? 1106 00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:01,560 Speaker 25: Look, I think to be honest, the unions are not 1107 00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:06,360 Speaker 25: terribly keen on the whole gig economy. So they you know, 1108 00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:10,239 Speaker 25: find a few drivers that maybe are working you know 1109 00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:15,160 Speaker 25: a lot, maybe exclusively with one platform, and decided to 1110 00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:18,840 Speaker 25: take a court case to test it out. So I 1111 00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,719 Speaker 25: think the majority, to be honest, so I have seen 1112 00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:25,000 Speaker 25: that Uber did it got an independent market research company 1113 00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:29,120 Speaker 25: to survey the drivers and most well, the vast majority 1114 00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:32,880 Speaker 25: were very happy with the with the arrangement gives them 1115 00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:36,719 Speaker 25: lots lots of flexibility. They can work for any other platform, 1116 00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,360 Speaker 25: you know, they're not tied to one platform, et cetera. 1117 00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:43,920 Speaker 25: So yeah, most people find that, you know, it fits 1118 00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,440 Speaker 25: into their lives and gives them options. 1119 00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:50,160 Speaker 3: The unions, particularly the seat use is that this will 1120 00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,680 Speaker 3: encourage with these changes go through, this will encourage businesses 1121 00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:56,239 Speaker 3: to exploit the contractor loophole. What do they mean by that? 1122 00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:01,279 Speaker 25: Yeah, I'm not sure really because actually our view of 1123 00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:03,640 Speaker 25: what this will do is to take back to the 1124 00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:07,239 Speaker 25: status quo before that, before the Ober Court case came along. 1125 00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:09,359 Speaker 3: It feels to me like the implication on what they're 1126 00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:12,920 Speaker 3: saying is that everybody wants to be an employee and 1127 00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,680 Speaker 3: the boss will force you into a contractor situation, which 1128 00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,520 Speaker 3: is a subpar arrangement. But that's not necessarily the case 1129 00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:19,200 Speaker 3: for people, is it. 1130 00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:22,359 Speaker 25: Well, no, and de pick you know, as I say, 1131 00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,520 Speaker 25: did the market research with an independent company, and the 1132 00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:29,000 Speaker 25: vast majority of people were extremely happy with the arrangement. 1133 00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:32,200 Speaker 25: You know, it means they can work for any other platform. 1134 00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,960 Speaker 25: I mean, people have have choices. They could go work 1135 00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,239 Speaker 25: for Blue Bubble if they wanted, you know, they could 1136 00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:42,080 Speaker 25: go be a career driver. They have options. So you know, 1137 00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,040 Speaker 25: there's a whole range of reasons people want the platform 1138 00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:49,600 Speaker 25: kind of opportunity. They might be trying to boost their 1139 00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,359 Speaker 25: you know, their their income. They might have a regular job. 1140 00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,200 Speaker 25: A lot of them do you know, we all talk 1141 00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:59,360 Speaker 25: to our drivers. They might be students, they you know, 1142 00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:04,800 Speaker 25: they might be mums or dads, juggling childcare doings, et cetera. 1143 00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:06,719 Speaker 25: So you know, there's a lot of benefits to it. 1144 00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:09,880 Speaker 3: Catherine, appreciate talking to you, Catherine Beer, Business New Zealand 1145 00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:10,760 Speaker 3: Advocacy Director. 1146 00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:15,040 Speaker 1: The Huddle with New Zealand Southerby's International Realty, local and 1147 00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:16,680 Speaker 1: global exposure like no. 1148 00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,040 Speaker 3: Other on the Huddle of this has even got Joseph Gani, 1149 00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:22,319 Speaker 3: CEO of ChildFund, and David farah Key we blogging Curierpolster 1150 00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:22,960 Speaker 3: Hello you two. 1151 00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:25,040 Speaker 26: Hello Josie. 1152 00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:26,400 Speaker 3: Good move from the government on this. 1153 00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,920 Speaker 27: Well, we do need certainty, so yes, it's good to 1154 00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,320 Speaker 27: get some certainty. I think the issue though I'm not 1155 00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:34,960 Speaker 27: sure it really helps. You use the Uber drivers as 1156 00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,440 Speaker 27: an example. So one of the tests that government has, 1157 00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:42,440 Speaker 27: one of the four tests is things like you know, 1158 00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:45,200 Speaker 27: you can work for multiple platforms, as Catherine just said, 1159 00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:48,480 Speaker 27: but the reality is a lot of Uber drivers will 1160 00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:50,440 Speaker 27: tell you is it's just not realistic. You know, you 1161 00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:53,520 Speaker 27: tend to work for one over the other and if 1162 00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:55,520 Speaker 27: you don't take a job. So one of the other 1163 00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:59,680 Speaker 27: tests is that you can turn down an activity or 1164 00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,120 Speaker 27: a job, you know, or some something that the employers 1165 00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:02,759 Speaker 27: asked you to do. 1166 00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:05,480 Speaker 26: And what the Uber drivers. 1167 00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:07,680 Speaker 27: Find that if you turn down too many rides, then 1168 00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:11,200 Speaker 27: you get logged out. You're basically having it terminated. So 1169 00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:15,959 Speaker 27: I think Catherine's absolutely right that that, you know, people 1170 00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:19,080 Speaker 27: want the flexibility of contracting, but it's a take it 1171 00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,680 Speaker 27: or leave it approach. I think in some sectors you 1172 00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,040 Speaker 27: need to be able to sort of have a negotiation 1173 00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:26,200 Speaker 27: as to whether you want to be an employee, have 1174 00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:30,080 Speaker 27: sick leave, holiday pay, or whether you are a contractor. 1175 00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:32,080 Speaker 26: And I think that's part of the problem. It's just 1176 00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:33,319 Speaker 26: to take it or leave it thing. 1177 00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:34,640 Speaker 3: David. Are you still there? 1178 00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:41,879 Speaker 14: Yes, I am sorry, just ahead, call coming, David. 1179 00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:42,480 Speaker 3: Are you still there? 1180 00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:52,160 Speaker 26: I'm still here. David's the contract that contractor, David. 1181 00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,080 Speaker 3: Because all we're hearing is beeping and then you just 1182 00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:57,240 Speaker 3: disappear for ages. David Listen, I feel like the reason 1183 00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:59,839 Speaker 3: that the unions are fighting so hard on this one 1184 00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:03,040 Speaker 3: is because they want us to be employees, not contractors, 1185 00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:06,239 Speaker 3: because they can only represent employees not contractors. This is 1186 00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:07,960 Speaker 3: about protecting their own future, isn't it. 1187 00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:12,279 Speaker 14: Oh to a large degree, yes, because the vast majority 1188 00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:15,399 Speaker 14: of Uber drivers don't want to be employees, they want 1189 00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:16,319 Speaker 14: to be contractors. 1190 00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:18,440 Speaker 6: That has the flexibility. 1191 00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:21,319 Speaker 14: Where even though Josie's right to say, like, once you're 1192 00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:23,839 Speaker 14: on the job there can be issues if you're turn 1193 00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:27,120 Speaker 14: them down, there's no one there that if you decide 1194 00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:30,400 Speaker 14: tomorrow I want to work for one hour or six hours, 1195 00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:31,719 Speaker 14: it's totally up to you. 1196 00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:33,480 Speaker 6: So you've got the flexibility of. 1197 00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:37,839 Speaker 14: Contracting, but the courts then saying well, no, maybe you're 1198 00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,360 Speaker 14: not at c And in the end, it really just 1199 00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,640 Speaker 14: comes down to do you want certainty where if you 1200 00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:47,359 Speaker 14: agree with someone, I'm going to be a contractor, can 1201 00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,680 Speaker 14: you have the certainty that the courts aren't then going 1202 00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,000 Speaker 14: to go in and say, well, actually we've got a 1203 00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:52,640 Speaker 14: different view. 1204 00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,520 Speaker 27: I think there's an issue here though, David, and you're 1205 00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:58,080 Speaker 27: absolutely right about the union's Heather. I think the unions 1206 00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:01,040 Speaker 27: need to get much more savvy about how they represent 1207 00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:04,040 Speaker 27: contractors in a way that's realistic, right, rather than just 1208 00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:06,360 Speaker 27: wishing they were all employees, because a lot of us 1209 00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:08,600 Speaker 27: want to be contractors. And I worked in the film 1210 00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:11,759 Speaker 27: industry for years as a contractor, and I liked that. 1211 00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:13,799 Speaker 27: We want to be you know, work for three months, 1212 00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:15,239 Speaker 27: then we go off and we go and work on 1213 00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:18,439 Speaker 27: another commercial or a film. The problem is when you're 1214 00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,160 Speaker 27: to take that sector, when you're working on a long 1215 00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,960 Speaker 27: term project like Lord of the Rings for like two years, 1216 00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:26,400 Speaker 27: and you go, well, hold on a minute, I'm basically 1217 00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,880 Speaker 27: becoming an employee for two years, and I quite like 1218 00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:29,840 Speaker 27: to have sick. 1219 00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:32,520 Speaker 26: Leave and holiday pay and minimum wage. 1220 00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:32,640 Speaker 6: And so on. 1221 00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:35,239 Speaker 26: So I think that's the problem. The unions can get 1222 00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:36,040 Speaker 26: much better. 1223 00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:40,160 Speaker 27: At representing that where the gray areas are when you 1224 00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:41,120 Speaker 27: become an employee. 1225 00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:43,520 Speaker 3: Yep, I understand that. I think they also might want 1226 00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:45,760 Speaker 3: to tone down their rhetoric because it sounds so ridiculous 1227 00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:47,960 Speaker 3: you can hardly listen to them. Now, David, do you 1228 00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,400 Speaker 3: reckon that the assassination attempt on Donald Trump is going 1229 00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:51,240 Speaker 3: to help us reelection? 1230 00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:54,160 Speaker 6: Not necessarily? 1231 00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:59,120 Speaker 14: The first one I think undoubtedly did, partly because it 1232 00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:01,680 Speaker 14: was so shock he got hit. 1233 00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:05,440 Speaker 6: His actions were so iconic. 1234 00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:09,839 Speaker 14: The second one certainly probably helps Raoul his base up. 1235 00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:13,960 Speaker 14: They're pretty angry about her and it's a bit strang 1236 00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,640 Speaker 14: you know. This one looks politically motivated. 1237 00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:17,960 Speaker 6: The first one. 1238 00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:21,120 Speaker 14: I think the guy just wanted death by cop and 1239 00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:24,680 Speaker 14: was going for anyone famous. But willould still be a 1240 00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:28,120 Speaker 14: factor in six weeks time. Probably not, because I was 1241 00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:33,200 Speaker 14: surprised how quickly the impact from the first one faded, yeah, etc. 1242 00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:35,960 Speaker 14: Where it's not really still an issue. So it was 1243 00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:39,400 Speaker 14: very sad what happened, and thankfully they stopped it. It 1244 00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:41,880 Speaker 14: may help him a bit, but I think mainly around 1245 00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:42,520 Speaker 14: the margins. 1246 00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:46,120 Speaker 3: I am Josie was surprised at my reaction to it 1247 00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:47,640 Speaker 3: when I heard about it this morning, which was not 1248 00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:49,720 Speaker 3: to be shocked at all, And then I subsequently have 1249 00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:51,920 Speaker 3: read there's a piece I think it might have been 1250 00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:54,240 Speaker 3: on the Sydney Morning Herald which basically argues the same 1251 00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:56,000 Speaker 3: thing that the fact that we are not all that 1252 00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:58,680 Speaker 3: shocked by it is kind of freaking is kind of 1253 00:57:58,680 --> 00:57:59,880 Speaker 3: freaking in its own way, isn't it. 1254 00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:03,640 Speaker 27: Yeah, And I think it's partly that this time it 1255 00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:06,720 Speaker 27: just makes Trump look sort of in the center of chaos. 1256 00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,600 Speaker 27: And I think he's had a bad few weeks with 1257 00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:13,400 Speaker 27: Kamala having the winning the debate and sort of winning 1258 00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:16,480 Speaker 27: the Democratic National Convention and so on. 1259 00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:18,840 Speaker 26: So I think it just that's part of the problem 1260 00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:20,320 Speaker 26: is we just look at it and go, oh my god, 1261 00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:21,560 Speaker 26: not more chaos. 1262 00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:24,120 Speaker 27: You know, and even the sort of slightly comical image 1263 00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:26,760 Speaker 27: rather than the iconic image, this time, we have an 1264 00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:30,600 Speaker 27: image of some weird shooter in the shrubbery with an 1265 00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:33,200 Speaker 27: AK forty seven sneaking through on the golf course, and 1266 00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:36,400 Speaker 27: you kind of think it almost looks kind of ridiculous, 1267 00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:39,560 Speaker 27: and how on earth did another shooter get so close 1268 00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:43,000 Speaker 27: to a former president. So I think secret Service in 1269 00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:46,120 Speaker 27: the in the use the phrase in the gun again 1270 00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:49,200 Speaker 27: about you know what of our systems and protocols. So 1271 00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:52,400 Speaker 27: I think it just looks negative this time. And part 1272 00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:54,600 Speaker 27: of the problem for Trump is that he's fallen into 1273 00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:58,240 Speaker 27: this sort of combative style the hiatiins that immigrants are 1274 00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:02,840 Speaker 27: eating up hats rather than when he's positive. And where 1275 00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:05,520 Speaker 27: you have to say he has currency is when the 1276 00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,919 Speaker 27: Republicans and Trump talk about border controls and cost of living, 1277 00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:12,080 Speaker 27: and that feels kind of positive, like you we're going 1278 00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:15,400 Speaker 27: to fix this problem now it just looks negative and chaotic. 1279 00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:17,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's actually a very good point. Guys will take 1280 00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:19,200 Speaker 3: a break, come back very shortly talking about David Seymore 1281 00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:20,480 Speaker 3: Quarter two, the. 1282 00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:24,520 Speaker 1: Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty, elevate the marketing 1283 00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:26,000 Speaker 1: of your home back with. 1284 00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,760 Speaker 3: The Huddle of Got Joseph Gani and David Ferrer. David 1285 00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:32,320 Speaker 3: David Seymour is right, isn't he when he basically takes 1286 00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:36,080 Speaker 3: responsibility for having tanked the Act party support during the campaign. 1287 00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:38,560 Speaker 8: Yeah, well it's not. 1288 00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:40,960 Speaker 14: All down to him, but he is the leader and 1289 00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:43,600 Speaker 14: I thought it was very ballsy or him actually too 1290 00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:47,320 Speaker 14: to talk quite openly about that. 1291 00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:52,000 Speaker 6: The campaign didn't go well that and hindsight. 1292 00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,720 Speaker 14: They were worried about losing bohust New Zealand first, so 1293 00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:58,760 Speaker 14: they started attacking New Zealand first and that turned out 1294 00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:02,200 Speaker 14: with Heinze to be a mistake and also trying to 1295 01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:05,600 Speaker 14: play it tough with National saying maybe what we won't 1296 01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:10,600 Speaker 14: support you unless we get more policy ones, etc. So 1297 01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:14,720 Speaker 14: you know, most parties make mistakes and campaigns. It's pretty 1298 01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:17,920 Speaker 14: rearre to have a party quite so blunt about what 1299 01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:19,040 Speaker 14: the mistakes were. 1300 01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you think Josie? Does he deserve some 1301 01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:22,640 Speaker 3: applause for that? 1302 01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:23,640 Speaker 6: Oh? 1303 01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:27,640 Speaker 27: Absolutely, any politician. And it's the Tony Blair mantra. You know, 1304 01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:30,080 Speaker 27: if you lose an election. He didn't lose, but he 1305 01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:33,560 Speaker 27: dropped half of his support during the campaign. If you 1306 01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:36,240 Speaker 27: do that, the first question you ask yourself is not 1307 01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:38,880 Speaker 27: what's wrong with the voters, but what do we do wrong? 1308 01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:41,800 Speaker 26: You know, well, what mistakes do we make? So, yes, 1309 01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:43,600 Speaker 26: he does deserve credit for that. 1310 01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,840 Speaker 27: I think there's another mantra in politics, which is who 1311 01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:49,160 Speaker 27: you succeed when you own the future. 1312 01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:51,040 Speaker 26: And I think for act. 1313 01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:56,000 Speaker 27: They succeed when they're positive, when they're talking about things like, 1314 01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:59,680 Speaker 27: you know, small governments, lower taxes, libertarian stuff. 1315 01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:01,520 Speaker 26: That's what they stand for. It's not what I vote for, 1316 01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:03,920 Speaker 26: but I but I really respect what they stand for. 1317 01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:06,040 Speaker 26: And when they do that, they win. 1318 01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:08,400 Speaker 27: When they do the race bating, when they do the 1319 01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:11,360 Speaker 27: attack Winston Peters in New Zealand. First, he's a terrible, 1320 01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:12,280 Speaker 27: terrible person. 1321 01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:14,760 Speaker 26: People don't like it. It's negative. 1322 01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:16,800 Speaker 3: Well, so I would disagree with you on the race 1323 01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:19,080 Speaker 3: bating because I think if you paint a future, if 1324 01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:21,240 Speaker 3: you race bait that's not going to get you into air. 1325 01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:23,680 Speaker 3: But if you paint a picture of a future New 1326 01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:27,320 Speaker 3: Zealand where everybody is treated equally instead of treated in 1327 01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:30,160 Speaker 3: an unequal manner based in your ethnicity, that's positive. 1328 01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,160 Speaker 26: Yeah, and ACT can do that. 1329 01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:35,760 Speaker 27: ACT can do that in a way which is really 1330 01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:38,440 Speaker 27: consistent with their principles. And we've talked about this before, 1331 01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:40,720 Speaker 27: where they do devolution, where you know, look, we'll give 1332 01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:43,240 Speaker 27: Mary the right to have a say individual rights, you know, 1333 01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:44,920 Speaker 27: the right to have a say over their own people 1334 01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:48,280 Speaker 27: and their own service provision. That's a very ACT principle. 1335 01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:51,200 Speaker 27: But when they do this treaty principles Bill, whatever you 1336 01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:54,520 Speaker 27: think of it, it's always going to be divisive. And 1337 01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:56,560 Speaker 27: the problem is you've got to party Mari, who are 1338 01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:58,160 Speaker 27: going fantastic, thank you very much. 1339 01:01:58,280 --> 01:01:58,480 Speaker 6: ACT. 1340 01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:01,360 Speaker 27: We will play that role in to visit two, and 1341 01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:04,720 Speaker 27: everyone along the sidelines is going, I don't like this. 1342 01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:06,840 Speaker 27: This isn't the way we should be talking about New 1343 01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:09,440 Speaker 27: Zealand in the future. So I think it's back fired 1344 01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:09,640 Speaker 27: on that. 1345 01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:11,960 Speaker 3: I do think David and I did say this earlier 1346 01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,200 Speaker 3: that David Seymour and I'd noticed it in the last 1347 01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:16,840 Speaker 3: week especially. I just thought you could have, you could 1348 01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:18,400 Speaker 3: afford to be a little less bratty. 1349 01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:24,680 Speaker 6: Do you not think you want to be bratty but 1350 01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:33,280 Speaker 6: not too bratty? Yes? Is you want to get across 1351 01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:33,960 Speaker 6: here in the media. 1352 01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:36,760 Speaker 14: You want to be stirring things up about but you 1353 01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:40,600 Speaker 14: don't want people thinking that's all you're doing now to 1354 01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:42,520 Speaker 14: be few to them. I don't think they are. And 1355 01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:45,760 Speaker 14: with the talk of the Treaty Principal's bill, I only 1356 01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:48,640 Speaker 14: rediscovered this a couple of days ago. But for all 1357 01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:52,400 Speaker 14: theory about her, did you know in two thousand and 1358 01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:57,000 Speaker 14: six the entire labor carcus voted for a bill at 1359 01:02:57,120 --> 01:03:00,080 Speaker 14: first reading because it was in their coalition agreement to 1360 01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:06,800 Speaker 14: delete the principles of the treat of writing ladder of 1361 01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:10,240 Speaker 14: the coverage that this has got that. 1362 01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:13,760 Speaker 26: Politics is entirely rational, and that we would go, oh, no, 1363 01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:14,280 Speaker 26: that's right. 1364 01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:16,120 Speaker 3: When politicians are now will. 1365 01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:19,800 Speaker 26: Be consistent and say something, yeah, the same. How naive 1366 01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:20,480 Speaker 26: of you, David. 1367 01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:22,680 Speaker 2: I appreciate that very much. 1368 01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:25,280 Speaker 3: Hey, very quickly, David.

I don't know whether 1468 01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:19,599 Speaker 15: that's what they're looking for here, but they have been 1469 01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:22,800 Speaker 15: pretty vocal in their opposition to this legislation on the. 1470 01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:26,000 Speaker 3: Social media companies, which is kind of related to Google. 1471 01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:29,120 Speaker 3: Would you guys consider going as far as Australia and 1472 01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:30,960 Speaker 3: banning the kids off the social media. 1473 01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:34,120 Speaker 15: It is something that the Prime Minister has said that 1474 01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:36,559 Speaker 15: he wants to look into and get a bit more 1475 01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:39,960 Speaker 15: advice about. You know, it's one of those issues where 1476 01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:42,559 Speaker 15: on the one hand, there's all of the practical questions 1477 01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:44,639 Speaker 15: about how would you enforce that and make that happen. 1478 01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:48,879 Speaker 15: On the other hand, there is emerging evidence that extensive 1479 01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:51,360 Speaker 15: social media use by young people can be pretty harmful, 1480 01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:53,000 Speaker 15: and as a mother of a fourteen year old, I 1481 01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:56,720 Speaker 15: can tell you that stuff is really, really addictive and 1482 01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:59,280 Speaker 15: I'm pretty sure it's not growing brain cells, right, so 1483 01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:04,200 Speaker 15: why not do it? Well, it's about enforcibility, and it's 1484 01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:07,320 Speaker 15: also about the role of parents versus the role of government. 1485 01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:10,439 Speaker 15: And I think the question is would it be a 1486 01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:13,360 Speaker 15: really big help to parents or would parents say well, actually, 1487 01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:15,439 Speaker 15: in the case of my child, I think the benefits 1488 01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:17,200 Speaker 15: out weigh the costs. Those are some of the things 1489 01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:18,040 Speaker 15: we need to work through. 1490 01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:20,920 Speaker 3: Cool fair to say that at the moment we're not 1491 01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:21,479 Speaker 3: going to do it. 1492 01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:25,840 Speaker 15: Well, it's not something that Cabinet has actively considered, but 1493 01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:28,360 Speaker 15: the Prime Minister has said, well, let's have a look 1494 01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:31,640 Speaker 15: at what these other countries are doing, let's consider what 1495 01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:34,479 Speaker 15: the evidence is telling us, and let's work through that. 1496 01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:36,200 Speaker 26: But it's not top of the priority list here. 1497 01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:38,600 Speaker 3: But as a parent, I mean, look, I tend to 1498 01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:41,639 Speaker 3: agree with you that obviously the responsibility and the actual 1499 01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:44,240 Speaker 3: safety does lie with parents. We're the ones who have 1500 01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:45,880 Speaker 3: to teach the kids how to handle the stuff, not 1501 01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:47,599 Speaker 3: just when they're small, but when they're big as well 1502 01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:50,479 Speaker 3: and adults. But would it not be helpful to be 1503 01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:54,120 Speaker 3: able to say to your child, no, actually the law 1504 01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:57,120 Speaker 3: says you can't have it at whatever age and also 1505 01:09:57,360 --> 01:09:59,959 Speaker 3: then know that there are all of these extra obstacles 1506 01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:01,479 Speaker 3: they have to get through in order to be able 1507 01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:02,080 Speaker 3: to get on there. 1508 01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:05,360 Speaker 15: Well, that's right. It just makes it a bit easier 1509 01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:08,760 Speaker 15: if I can say to my son and my daughter, hey, look, 1510 01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:11,200 Speaker 15: no one's allowed to be on these social media platforms. 1511 01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:12,800 Speaker 15: If you want to get in touch with your friend, 1512 01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:16,559 Speaker 15: just give them a call, because often they will say, oh, look, 1513 01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:18,360 Speaker 15: I'm just going on to message my friend about a 1514 01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:21,000 Speaker 15: bike ride, and then somehow they get caught out watching 1515 01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:23,920 Speaker 15: ten reels in a row about absolutely nothing. 1516 01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:26,360 Speaker 3: So what's the harm in doing it? I mean, I 1517 01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:28,080 Speaker 3: take your point that it's hard to enforce, and I 1518 01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:29,719 Speaker 3: take all of the points I thought about the stuff 1519 01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:30,559 Speaker 3: as well. But what's the harm. 1520 01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:34,200 Speaker 15: Well, I think that the harm could be that some 1521 01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:36,960 Speaker 15: parents may say, look for my child, this is a 1522 01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:41,720 Speaker 15: really important place of social connection and engagement. Or they 1523 01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:43,479 Speaker 15: might just say, bigger off, I don't want the government 1524 01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:43,880 Speaker 15: telling me. 1525 01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:45,400 Speaker 3: How to parent my kids nanny states. 1526 01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:48,720 Speaker 15: So yeah, there is that to be considered, But also 1527 01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:51,400 Speaker 15: just that practical dimension of is this actually a band 1528 01:10:51,439 --> 01:10:53,960 Speaker 15: that would be enforceable or would it lead to us 1529 01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:56,800 Speaker 15: being the laughing stock of teenagers? Who would find workarounds 1530 01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:59,840 Speaker 15: very quickly. So all of that needs to be worked through. 1531 01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:02,280 Speaker 15: I think what's clear, and I know as the Prime 1532 01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:05,840 Speaker 15: Minister's concern, is that there is emerging evidence that social 1533 01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:09,280 Speaker 15: media can do quite a lot of harm to teenagers 1534 01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:12,080 Speaker 15: and young people when it's not used well, and we 1535 01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:14,559 Speaker 15: have to be conscious of that. It's also a big distraction. 1536 01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:15,320 Speaker 6: You know. 1537 01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:17,960 Speaker 15: I feel really lucky that as a teenager I didn't 1538 01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:20,800 Speaker 15: get distracted by social media and that actually I just 1539 01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:23,439 Speaker 15: had to hang out with real people and do real things. 1540 01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:25,760 Speaker 3: Yeah too, right, Hey, are you up for changing the 1541 01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:27,200 Speaker 3: Foreign Investment Fund rules? 1542 01:11:29,120 --> 01:11:31,960 Speaker 15: I'm up for more foreign investment coming into New Zealand 1543 01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:34,720 Speaker 15: and changing the Overseas Investment Act to support that. 1544 01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:35,120 Speaker 23: Yes. 1545 01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:37,280 Speaker 3: Would you not have to change the fift rules as well, though, 1546 01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:39,240 Speaker 3: because it sounds like it's keeping people with money out 1547 01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:39,759 Speaker 3: of the country. 1548 01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:43,880 Speaker 15: Look, that is something that we have on the Text 1549 01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:46,680 Speaker 15: working program and it is something that I am up for. 1550 01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:50,720 Speaker 3: Yes, what is your timeline? 1551 01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:55,519 Speaker 15: It's something that I have asked in Land Revenue for 1552 01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:58,960 Speaker 15: advice on, and that is on the Text policy program. 1553 01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:02,080 Speaker 15: Thing that lots of people have raised with me. 1554 01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:02,519 Speaker 13: That's you. 1555 01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:05,839 Speaker 15: Look, there are some really smart people who might otherwise 1556 01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:08,680 Speaker 15: keep their investments in New Zealand, who want to be here, 1557 01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:10,519 Speaker 15: who want to live here, that these tax rules are 1558 01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:13,000 Speaker 15: catching about, And so I've said, let's go and look 1559 01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:15,160 Speaker 15: at those rules and see if we can make them 1560 01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:15,960 Speaker 15: work more sensibly. 1561 01:12:16,240 --> 01:12:18,280 Speaker 3: Okay, you don't sound like it's the top of your 1562 01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:19,040 Speaker 3: priority list. 1563 01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:19,320 Speaker 6: Is that? 1564 01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:22,040 Speaker 3: Because why there aren't that many people caught. 1565 01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:23,160 Speaker 6: Up by it? Oh? 1566 01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:25,720 Speaker 15: It is something that I've asked for advice on, and 1567 01:12:26,280 --> 01:12:28,880 Speaker 15: I don't ask for advice on everything either. It's one 1568 01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:30,519 Speaker 15: of those ones that I put on the program of 1569 01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:33,719 Speaker 15: this looks like something that it might be sensible to change. 1570 01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:35,640 Speaker 15: Give me some advice on what that would look like 1571 01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:37,640 Speaker 15: so we can consider it in fact as part of 1572 01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:38,439 Speaker 15: our budget process. 1573 01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:41,519 Speaker 3: Okay, cool, listen, Are you worried about method X now 1574 01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:43,800 Speaker 3: also downsizing? And if you are, what can you do 1575 01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:44,240 Speaker 3: about it? 1576 01:12:45,320 --> 01:12:45,519 Speaker 6: Well? 1577 01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:49,080 Speaker 15: Look, I'm worried about any firm that's falling over because 1578 01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:51,559 Speaker 15: I worry about the loss of jobs. I worry about 1579 01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:54,599 Speaker 15: the loss of export income. I worry about the local 1580 01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:55,559 Speaker 15: economic effects. 1581 01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:57,120 Speaker 14: What can we do about it? 1582 01:12:57,320 --> 01:13:01,040 Speaker 15: Well, first, there's the megaeconomy. That's where we've said, get 1583 01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:04,200 Speaker 15: inflation under control, interest rates come down, everyone feels better, 1584 01:13:04,439 --> 01:13:08,000 Speaker 15: get your regulations in better condition, get infrastructure going better. 1585 01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:08,839 Speaker 26: All of that matters. 1586 01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:11,400 Speaker 15: And the case of Method X in some of these 1587 01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:15,479 Speaker 15: other firms, it's very specifically, I think electricity policy that 1588 01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:18,960 Speaker 15: we need to look at because New Zealand needs affordable 1589 01:13:19,160 --> 01:13:22,440 Speaker 15: energy into the future if we're going to have industrial 1590 01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:26,000 Speaker 15: players like Methods and so that's why we have brought 1591 01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:29,360 Speaker 15: forward changes in that sector. That's why we've got the 1592 01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:33,560 Speaker 15: Commerce Commission and Electricity Authority looking into competition issues with 1593 01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:36,280 Speaker 15: their task force. But you make high prices from the 1594 01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:38,360 Speaker 15: wholesale market of problematic yes methods. 1595 01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:40,200 Speaker 3: That's really a gas problem. And what they're saying is 1596 01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:42,920 Speaker 3: that unless you guys are able to attract in the 1597 01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:45,360 Speaker 3: foreign investors again to start drilling in the ground, they 1598 01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:47,479 Speaker 3: are going to have to shut down. Are you getting 1599 01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:48,840 Speaker 3: anywhere with getting these guys in. 1600 01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:53,240 Speaker 15: Well, for us, it's a very high priority to make 1601 01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:55,920 Speaker 15: sure that we can have oil and gas exploration happening again, 1602 01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:58,080 Speaker 15: and we are looking at what the options are because, 1603 01:13:58,160 --> 01:14:01,320 Speaker 15: as you know, the issue for these overseas investors is 1604 01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:04,200 Speaker 15: not our government. They know that we're embracing them. The 1605 01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:06,400 Speaker 15: issue is they look down the pipe and say what 1606 01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:11,439 Speaker 15: if one day a Labor green government got elected, then 1607 01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:13,519 Speaker 15: that could be the end of our business. So we're 1608 01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:15,840 Speaker 15: looking at how can we give them some confidence and 1609 01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:19,320 Speaker 15: assurance that this country isn't going to be a banana 1610 01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:22,719 Speaker 15: republic that turns off the gas when clearly it's required 1611 01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:25,160 Speaker 15: for energy and economics. 1612 01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:26,960 Speaker 3: But what can you do about it? I mean short 1613 01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:30,080 Speaker 3: of Labour actually changing their minds, and they clearly happened 1614 01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:32,360 Speaker 3: at the moment, so they continue to repel these guys. 1615 01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:34,839 Speaker 3: So are we still at the position where the overseas 1616 01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:37,280 Speaker 3: investors are saying not going to come in labor. 1617 01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:40,640 Speaker 15: I've got two reasons for hope. The first is if 1618 01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:43,200 Speaker 15: Labor ever gets serious about winning an election, they'll have 1619 01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:45,240 Speaker 15: to realize that you need to look after the economy. 1620 01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:47,679 Speaker 15: You can't do that without affordable energy and with that gas. 1621 01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:51,760 Speaker 15: The second reason for hope is that there may be 1622 01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:55,960 Speaker 15: contracting obligations that we could put in that could give 1623 01:14:56,040 --> 01:14:58,560 Speaker 15: some assurance. So that's one of the areas that I 1624 01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:01,760 Speaker 15: know that Shane Jones is working on with officials and 1625 01:15:01,840 --> 01:15:02,800 Speaker 15: we'll see what comes out of that. 1626 01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:05,519 Speaker 3: Fingers crossed, Hey, have you seen Wayne Brown's bridge idea? 1627 01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:06,080 Speaker 3: For Auckland. 1628 01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:10,080 Speaker 26: I haven't looked into this in any great detail. Is 1629 01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:11,439 Speaker 26: it a good idea or a bad idea? 1630 01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:11,800 Speaker 6: Well? 1631 01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:13,880 Speaker 3: I think it might be a good idea, but because 1632 01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:15,639 Speaker 3: what it is is that instead of sort of spending 1633 01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:19,040 Speaker 3: huge amounts of money on a tunnel or a traditional bridge, 1634 01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:21,599 Speaker 3: you build on the Meola reef which goes eighty percent 1635 01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:24,240 Speaker 3: across the way from Points Chevalier to Cody Point on 1636 01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:26,280 Speaker 3: the other side. Does that kind of sound to you 1637 01:15:26,479 --> 01:15:29,439 Speaker 3: like this? Okay, this is the problem. Nickeler Point chev 1638 01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:30,880 Speaker 3: is going to be cross with you bringing all the 1639 01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:33,000 Speaker 3: cars in and you know it's middle class winds there, 1640 01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:35,240 Speaker 3: and then Cody Points is a bit of a reservey thing. 1641 01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:36,640 Speaker 3: So the Greens are going to be upset about that. 1642 01:15:37,439 --> 01:15:37,639 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1643 01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:39,640 Speaker 15: Well, look, the thing with all of these projects is 1644 01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:41,240 Speaker 15: you've got to look at the business case. You've got 1645 01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:42,720 Speaker 15: to say it, does it stack out? There are all 1646 01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:45,719 Speaker 15: sorts of ideas, but then it's bringing things to fruition. 1647 01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:48,519 Speaker 15: That's why we've put out our transport plan saying here 1648 01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:51,040 Speaker 15: are the big projects we're committed to, because otherwise we 1649 01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:53,000 Speaker 15: could all spend the next ten to twenty years drawing 1650 01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:56,240 Speaker 15: diagrams on the backs of Africans at the cafe. Let's 1651 01:15:56,240 --> 01:15:57,760 Speaker 15: get on and build the things we know I needed. 1652 01:15:57,880 --> 01:15:59,400 Speaker 3: Have I have I just done it? Like have I 1653 01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:02,320 Speaker 3: weet your wrapp. I've done some lobbying here for Wayne 1654 01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:02,840 Speaker 3: Brown for you. 1655 01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:04,360 Speaker 6: Well, I know that. 1656 01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:06,479 Speaker 15: Wayne Brown knows a thing or two about roads, So 1657 01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:08,080 Speaker 15: you've weted my appetite. 1658 01:16:08,120 --> 01:16:10,519 Speaker 3: I'll go ahead, great, fantastic. I'm going to charge him 1659 01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:12,920 Speaker 3: for that, Nicola, thank you very much appreciated, Nichola Milli's 1660 01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:15,600 Speaker 3: finance mins. There's a lobbying fee coming straight at them. 1661 01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:20,120 Speaker 3: Sixteen past six, crunching the numbers and getting the results. 1662 01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:23,640 Speaker 1: It's Heather Duplice Ellen with the business hours thanks to 1663 01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:27,680 Speaker 1: my HR, the HR platform for SME on news talks V. 1664 01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:31,040 Speaker 3: Get on your here to keep on about the second bridge. 1665 01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:33,160 Speaker 3: It's a no brainer. We need it. Speaking of which 1666 01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:36,600 Speaker 3: on that, somebody has the idea at the moment is 1667 01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:39,000 Speaker 3: that we keep funneling everybody down state Hiwa on the 1668 01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:41,240 Speaker 3: existing State Hiwa one which goes over the Harbor Bridge, right, 1669 01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:42,800 Speaker 3: and then we just make a little off shoot somewhere 1670 01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:44,680 Speaker 3: and we do a little tunnel or something nearby, you know, 1671 01:16:44,680 --> 01:16:46,320 Speaker 3: and then every bridge just like oh on this one 1672 01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:48,800 Speaker 3: road over and under the bridge and they came out 1673 01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:52,200 Speaker 3: the other side. How dumb is that? Obviously that's just 1674 01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:54,680 Speaker 3: going to create a gigantic pinch point. Obviously, what you 1675 01:16:54,760 --> 01:16:57,120 Speaker 3: want to do is have a second because we do 1676 01:16:57,280 --> 01:16:59,240 Speaker 3: have a second crossing. It's a state ivory. What's the 1677 01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:01,720 Speaker 3: one that goes north? Is that Stay Highway sixteen? To 1678 01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:04,280 Speaker 3: say she got stay Iver one going north? State Highway 1679 01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:06,519 Speaker 3: sixteen going north. Imagine if we had like State Highway 1680 01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:09,599 Speaker 3: eighty seven or something going through Point Chef, how good 1681 01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:11,960 Speaker 3: would that be? A three ways across and you could 1682 01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:14,120 Speaker 3: pick any one of them. That's what I'm into. Twenty 1683 01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:17,240 Speaker 3: past six, Shane Solly, Harbor Asset Management is with us now, 1684 01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:19,960 Speaker 3: Hey Shane, Hey, hey, what did you make? 1685 01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:21,040 Speaker 6: What's that? 1686 01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:22,240 Speaker 8: Love? 1687 01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:22,320 Speaker 17: You? 1688 01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:22,680 Speaker 6: Love? 1689 01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:24,639 Speaker 28: You to push on the next half across? 1690 01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:25,439 Speaker 6: And I wouldn't. 1691 01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:26,760 Speaker 28: Let's get it go this, Shane. 1692 01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:28,320 Speaker 3: This is said as a man who does not live 1693 01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:28,879 Speaker 3: in Point. 1694 01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:32,280 Speaker 28: Chief, right, I've watched I don't live in Point Shed No. 1695 01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:34,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's okay, so great. That makes too for the. 1696 01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:37,439 Speaker 28: People Point Chief, that's that's an issue for sure. 1697 01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:39,920 Speaker 3: I'm kirkaha to them and the rest of us want 1698 01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:41,840 Speaker 3: to drive through. So you and myself and Wayne Brown 1699 01:17:41,840 --> 01:17:43,200 Speaker 3: and the three of us are going to make this happen. 1700 01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:43,560 Speaker 6: I love it. 1701 01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:46,479 Speaker 3: Hey, what do you make of the Auckland Airport equity raise? 1702 01:17:47,439 --> 01:17:51,200 Speaker 28: Yeah, look, massive raise today, one of the biggest equity 1703 01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:53,519 Speaker 28: raises we've seen in some time here in New Zealand. 1704 01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:56,680 Speaker 28: The Orkan Airport raising one point four billion of new 1705 01:17:56,760 --> 01:18:00,439 Speaker 28: equity and that's the fund it's current capital developed program. 1706 01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:03,719 Speaker 28: And today they announced a eight hundred million dollar contract 1707 01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:07,240 Speaker 28: with Hawkins to build new domestic terminals. So one point 1708 01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:09,439 Speaker 28: four b in one point two b in of that 1709 01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:14,280 Speaker 28: is a underwritten placements that's happening right now, mainly institutional vestors. 1710 01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:16,719 Speaker 28: And there's two hundred million available for retail on thisstess 1711 01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:20,400 Speaker 28: that everybody gets a chance, pricing six dollars ninety five 1712 01:18:20,479 --> 01:18:22,759 Speaker 28: and that's a seven percent discount on where it crows 1713 01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:26,280 Speaker 28: last Friday, seven forty eight. And this is about giving 1714 01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:29,720 Speaker 28: the company comfort against their debt metrics as they go 1715 01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:31,880 Speaker 28: through this major capital works and also gives them a 1716 01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:35,760 Speaker 28: bit of flexibility for future capital investments. So yeah, big move, 1717 01:18:36,400 --> 01:18:37,519 Speaker 28: significant for the country. 1718 01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:40,479 Speaker 3: Do you assume that Auckland Council is going to try 1719 01:18:40,560 --> 01:18:43,559 Speaker 3: to retain its holding or just allow it to be diluted. 1720 01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:45,400 Speaker 28: I don't look to be honest with either. 1721 01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:46,280 Speaker 25: I don't have a view. 1722 01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:49,479 Speaker 28: You know, it's a tough one for the council. Clearly 1723 01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:53,040 Speaker 28: they are looking to reduce their investment and the import 1724 01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:55,599 Speaker 28: and create the spitture funds. So it's a tough tough 1725 01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:59,040 Speaker 28: call for them. Let's see, let's see what happens overnight. 1726 01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:01,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, central bank announcements, we're going to have them 1727 01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:03,240 Speaker 3: this week. What are you looking for here? 1728 01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:05,679 Speaker 28: Yeah, it's a bit of a frenzy for central banks, 1729 01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:08,000 Speaker 28: a bit of a geek geek stuff for me and 1730 01:19:08,080 --> 01:19:10,200 Speaker 28: the others in the capital markets. Big one is the 1731 01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:12,880 Speaker 28: US Schedule Reserve known is a FID expected to cut 1732 01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:15,080 Speaker 28: rates by zero point two five percent, quarter of a 1733 01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:17,880 Speaker 28: percent on Wednesday. It's a few people picking half a percent, 1734 01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:20,040 Speaker 28: but I'm not sure that data's not quite there to 1735 01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:22,519 Speaker 28: support that. And it's the key thing here is about 1736 01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:25,439 Speaker 28: the tone, you know, whether there is it's an aggressive 1737 01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:28,320 Speaker 28: we've got to go faster with there's consecutive cuts, and 1738 01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:31,240 Speaker 28: that'll be what capital markets really watched for. But then 1739 01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:32,639 Speaker 28: later in the week here that we've got the bank 1740 01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:35,200 Speaker 28: of Japan coming out. Normally people don't worry about that 1741 01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:37,760 Speaker 28: too much, but last time last month, they came out 1742 01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:41,479 Speaker 28: with an unusual increase in rates that people expected and 1743 01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:43,479 Speaker 28: that gave a bit of a shock to capital market. 1744 01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:46,120 Speaker 28: So we're going to watch that. And just as a 1745 01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:48,280 Speaker 28: bit of a left field, we had some more week 1746 01:19:48,520 --> 01:19:50,920 Speaker 28: data in China over the weekend, so there's a little 1747 01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:54,519 Speaker 28: bit of anticipation that actually China central bankers could actually 1748 01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:57,120 Speaker 28: start to get active and try and stimulate the economy. 1749 01:19:57,160 --> 01:20:00,200 Speaker 28: And even here in New Zealand on Thursday with got 1750 01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:03,439 Speaker 28: our musing on GDP number. Again, maybe not the market 1751 01:20:03,520 --> 01:20:05,960 Speaker 28: mover some of these other events are, but certainly it 1752 01:20:06,080 --> 01:20:08,200 Speaker 28: might tell us just how bad things have been. So yeah, 1753 01:20:08,360 --> 01:20:09,040 Speaker 28: quite a lot going on. 1754 01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:12,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, looking forward to that. Did the presidential debate in 1755 01:20:12,160 --> 01:20:14,000 Speaker 3: the end massive to the capital markets? 1756 01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:17,679 Speaker 28: Look, it was a bit of a increased volatility around 1757 01:20:17,720 --> 01:20:19,640 Speaker 28: the edges, But the answer is no, you know, it 1758 01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:23,160 Speaker 28: didn't really provoke any lasting moves. What we've seen is 1759 01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:26,640 Speaker 28: capital markets at the margin have favored some of the 1760 01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:29,560 Speaker 28: beneficiaries of a Harris winds. So we've seen companies like 1761 01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:32,599 Speaker 28: some of the companies in the sustainable energy sector. For example, 1762 01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:35,439 Speaker 28: the ones in solar or wind have a bit of 1763 01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:38,840 Speaker 28: a lift because if mister Trump and the Republicans come in, 1764 01:20:38,960 --> 01:20:42,000 Speaker 28: they're looking to where they winebacks support there. But I 1765 01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:46,960 Speaker 28: think overall we do see volatility increasing. Capital markets don't 1766 01:20:47,120 --> 01:20:50,120 Speaker 28: like this lead up period to an election. I'm not 1767 01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:52,320 Speaker 28: sure many people do something. We get pretty excited about it, 1768 01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:55,800 Speaker 28: but kepital markets get upset about it. So that's probably 1769 01:20:55,840 --> 01:20:58,080 Speaker 28: the only real takeout is that we're going to expect 1770 01:20:58,120 --> 01:20:58,839 Speaker 28: some more volatility. 1771 01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:00,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, fair enoughpeciate.

David Seymour on 1783 01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:31,439 Speaker 3: the Media He says in this chapter that he's written, 1784 01:21:31,520 --> 01:21:33,160 Speaker 3: he got cross to the media for three different things 1785 01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:36,160 Speaker 3: that happened during the election campaign, and one of them 1786 01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:38,320 Speaker 3: was the scuffle I don't know if you remember that 1787 01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:40,760 Speaker 3: happened at the ACT party's campaign launch and it was 1788 01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:44,960 Speaker 3: between camera operators and ACT supporters, and David Seymour says 1789 01:21:45,080 --> 01:21:47,280 Speaker 3: that the media were actually involved in that, but then 1790 01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:51,240 Speaker 3: refused to acknowledge its involvement, and he reckons he saw 1791 01:21:51,280 --> 01:21:53,599 Speaker 3: footage that made it pretty clear that the media were 1792 01:21:53,680 --> 01:21:55,560 Speaker 3: involved in this. And actually this is no surprise to 1793 01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:57,519 Speaker 3: me because I had heard from I had heard behind 1794 01:21:57,560 --> 01:22:02,600 Speaker 3: the scenes they were really upset with news Hub over that. 1795 01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:04,960 Speaker 3: He didn't name news Hub, but I just did. There 1796 01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:06,400 Speaker 3: you go, that's a gift for you, asn't it was 1797 01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:08,720 Speaker 3: news Hub. They were really really upset about the way 1798 01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:09,559 Speaker 3: that that thing was handled. 1799 01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:09,960 Speaker 16: He says. 1800 01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:12,600 Speaker 3: The journalists involved know who they are. It needs to 1801 01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:15,200 Speaker 3: be recorded that they did enormous damage to journalism and 1802 01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:19,600 Speaker 3: democracy through their actions. Having defended journalism from various accusations 1803 01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:22,080 Speaker 3: of bribery and bias over many years, I have little 1804 01:22:22,160 --> 01:22:26,040 Speaker 3: faith left and I see no reason to defend them. Unfortunately, 1805 01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:28,639 Speaker 3: they are every bit as venal and incompetent as their 1806 01:22:28,680 --> 01:22:32,599 Speaker 3: worst critics contend. Actions like these deserve to be recorded. 1807 01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:35,680 Speaker 3: The people deserve to know how these journalists act and 1808 01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:40,240 Speaker 3: their bosses condone. As the debate about the future of 1809 01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:42,840 Speaker 3: media unfolds, what's become clear is it's not just the 1810 01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:46,400 Speaker 3: business model, it's the product. Isn't he right about that? 1811 01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:48,600 Speaker 3: If you think about it, right, I mean, some of 1812 01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:50,680 Speaker 3: it is the business model, right, some of it is 1813 01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:53,040 Speaker 3: the way that the media are running their businesses is 1814 01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:54,519 Speaker 3: a bit crappy and they don't really know what they're 1815 01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:56,320 Speaker 3: doing in their way. Too sentimental about the media and 1816 01:22:56,320 --> 01:22:58,519 Speaker 3: blah blah blah, but a lot of it is actually 1817 01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:04,240 Speaker 3: what you'll being given. Some content is becoming really hard 1818 01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:06,479 Speaker 3: to consume lately. I don't know, I'm not gonna name names, 1819 01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:09,120 Speaker 3: but geez, I'll tell you some radio that I have 1820 01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:12,680 Speaker 3: to listen to. G was it's just like it kills you. 1821 01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:15,839 Speaker 3: You're like, there's nothing in this, it's not even interesting anymore. 1822 01:23:16,200 --> 01:23:18,519 Speaker 3: And so I feel like he's got a point. He's 1823 01:23:18,560 --> 01:23:21,599 Speaker 3: got a point that actually it's not just what's happening 1824 01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:23,439 Speaker 3: to the media, but it's also what the media give 1825 01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:25,640 Speaker 3: you is just like it's like crappy Coca cola. You 1826 01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:28,799 Speaker 3: go buy better coca cola elsewhere, don't you. News dogs'd 1827 01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:29,599 Speaker 3: be headlines next. 1828 01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:36,600 Speaker 1: If it's to do with money, it matters to you. 1829 01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:40,800 Speaker 1: The Business Hour with Heather duplic Al and My HR 1830 01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:44,960 Speaker 1: The HR Solution for busy sms on Newstalk. 1831 01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:51,240 Speaker 3: ZB Gavin Gray's going to be us out of the 1832 01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:53,440 Speaker 3: UK and ten minutes time have we had the tornadoes 1833 01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:57,560 Speaker 3: and Auckland yet? Have they arrived? Apparently we're supposed to 1834 01:23:57,600 --> 01:23:59,880 Speaker 3: get them. I always, I always get excited about stuff 1835 01:23:59,920 --> 01:24:02,479 Speaker 3: like this because I always you know how I feel 1836 01:24:02,520 --> 01:24:06,720 Speaker 3: about these predictors of the weather. It's always woo and 1837 01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:08,439 Speaker 3: then nothing, and then it's always like now it's going 1838 01:24:08,479 --> 01:24:11,560 Speaker 3: to be chill, guys, flooding or cleaned. So yeah, I 1839 01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:14,920 Speaker 3: feel like I don't know which way this is going 1840 01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:17,080 Speaker 3: to go. If they're predicting tornadoes, it's either going to 1841 01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:19,400 Speaker 3: be just fine out there or it's going to be 1842 01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:22,880 Speaker 3: like there's something refect. Isn't it the worst when you've 1843 01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:25,000 Speaker 3: ever seen in your entire life, wipes out the entire 1844 01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:27,519 Speaker 3: city type thing. Anyway, don't know if there are tornadoes 1845 01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:30,000 Speaker 3: coming better apparent. Well, obviously we don't because it's a 1846 01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:32,880 Speaker 3: bet service prediction. But they say that they're coming. And 1847 01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:36,200 Speaker 3: also there is a pole of oltex, which is the 1848 01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:37,720 Speaker 3: reason for it. And I don't know about you, but 1849 01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:39,559 Speaker 3: I'm here for a pole of all tex. That sounds 1850 01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:44,040 Speaker 3: really exciting. I'm really enjoying. How as if the weather 1851 01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:47,080 Speaker 3: is not exciting enough just because it impacts every single 1852 01:24:47,160 --> 01:24:50,479 Speaker 3: one of us, the guys who forecast the weather that 1853 01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:53,160 Speaker 3: feel like they've got to lift the like, really lift 1854 01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:56,560 Speaker 3: lift the energy and the hype on the weather and 1855 01:24:56,760 --> 01:24:59,599 Speaker 3: just bring in all of these like intense sounding things 1856 01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:01,800 Speaker 3: that are have happening. It's already intense, mate, it's cold. 1857 01:25:02,240 --> 01:25:03,559 Speaker 3: You don't need to call it a pole of all 1858 01:25:03,640 --> 01:25:07,920 Speaker 3: text for me to be into it. Anyway, listen, full disclosure, right, 1859 01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:09,880 Speaker 3: I've been sitting on a bunch of texts telling me. 1860 01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:13,760 Speaker 3: I need to tell you that I am way off 1861 01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:16,439 Speaker 3: with everybody on the Ruby tooe thing. Judging by the 1862 01:25:16,520 --> 01:25:19,200 Speaker 3: texts that I have received, Literally no one else thought 1863 01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:21,040 Speaker 3: that that was funny. They thought that she was rude. 1864 01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:25,639 Speaker 3: Ruby Tooey is a rude, silly, little smart ass blah 1865 01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:28,599 Speaker 3: blah blah, says a text Heather Ruby Tooey is playing 1866 01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:30,360 Speaker 3: rude Heather. When I met the royal family a number 1867 01:25:30,360 --> 01:25:33,439 Speaker 3: of years ago, I was informed of the protocols for Ruby, 1868 01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:36,040 Speaker 3: Towey and the New Zealand rugby team to perform specta 1869 01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:37,599 Speaker 3: King Charles. In the way that they did was nothing 1870 01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:42,120 Speaker 3: short of being disrespectful. Now, fair point. Fair point to 1871 01:25:42,200 --> 01:25:45,640 Speaker 3: people who believe that this was done for attention. Of 1872 01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:47,800 Speaker 3: course it was done for attention. Ruby was miked up 1873 01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:49,720 Speaker 3: and there was a camera there right, so obviously she 1874 01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:51,400 Speaker 3: was hamming it up. But I do believe this is 1875 01:25:51,439 --> 01:25:53,400 Speaker 3: true to her nature. She just kind of amplified her 1876 01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:56,680 Speaker 3: own nature. But yeah, fair point. I mean it was 1877 01:25:56,800 --> 01:25:59,400 Speaker 3: rude to the King. Please remember I'm a Republican, so 1878 01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:01,439 Speaker 3: I don't care about being rude to the king. Twenty 1879 01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:04,679 Speaker 3: two away from seven Heather dup s Allen. This week 1880 01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:07,559 Speaker 3: staff of yet another Pulp Mell will find out their fate. 1881 01:26:07,640 --> 01:26:09,760 Speaker 3: This is og Pulp. They've got the mill and pen 1882 01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:12,479 Speaker 3: Rose have been considering the closure there. Seventy five jobs 1883 01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:15,360 Speaker 3: are on the line. We're expecting a decision on Wednesday. 1884 01:26:15,479 --> 01:26:19,479 Speaker 3: First union organizer Justin Wallace is with us. Now, Hey, Justin, Hey, 1885 01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:22,000 Speaker 3: are you well, thank you. Which way do you think this. 1886 01:26:22,120 --> 01:26:22,519 Speaker 6: Is going to go? 1887 01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:27,920 Speaker 29: Well, we're fighting all the way through till Wednesday morning, 1888 01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:33,320 Speaker 29: so you know, we're looking for the positive out of this. Also, 1889 01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:37,200 Speaker 29: they'll potentially be a negative, but we'll be there supporting 1890 01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:39,559 Speaker 29: the members through whatever decisions made. 1891 01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:41,800 Speaker 3: You sound to me like you're expecting them to close. 1892 01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:46,479 Speaker 29: No, well, I mean, hey, Helen, pigs might fly, who knows. 1893 01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:50,439 Speaker 29: I mean, the way things are going, the submissions information 1894 01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:53,280 Speaker 29: that we've put in, the feedback that we've received, our 1895 01:26:53,320 --> 01:26:57,639 Speaker 29: submissions had value. The responses we had back went overly 1896 01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:04,880 Speaker 29: positive towards those looks. It's another sign of manufacturing having 1897 01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:09,000 Speaker 29: to leave the country because these large employers of these 1898 01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:13,320 Speaker 29: large sites are struggling when it comes to paying fixed 1899 01:27:13,360 --> 01:27:16,320 Speaker 29: prices for power and spot prices for power, even though 1900 01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:20,280 Speaker 29: the power cost now has reduced considerably. I think the 1901 01:27:20,360 --> 01:27:23,400 Speaker 29: decision was already made quite a while ago. And of 1902 01:27:23,479 --> 01:27:27,200 Speaker 29: course now we're going to be seeing product being sent 1903 01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:32,040 Speaker 29: overseas to Malaysia to then be made into paper which 1904 01:27:32,120 --> 01:27:34,400 Speaker 29: then could be brought back into New Zealand and sold. 1905 01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:35,719 Speaker 3: Both our paper mill. 1906 01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:39,800 Speaker 29: Pretty much yeah, that recycles cardboard and paper and it 1907 01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:42,960 Speaker 29: uses Auckland and the surrounds and parts of the country. 1908 01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:46,240 Speaker 29: So you know, it's this whole recycling model Helen, right, 1909 01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:49,040 Speaker 29: Like you know, it's this clean green image that we're 1910 01:27:49,080 --> 01:27:51,680 Speaker 29: trying to put out there, but we just don't have 1911 01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:54,560 Speaker 29: the processes and play to be able to do it. 1912 01:27:54,680 --> 01:27:57,880 Speaker 29: So it's it's disappointing that og have decided to do this. 1913 01:27:58,120 --> 01:28:00,960 Speaker 29: I mean, we've argued today have a social license on this. 1914 01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:03,840 Speaker 29: You know, they have a responsibility to keep this plant running. Yeah, 1915 01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:06,160 Speaker 29: we also believe that there are parts of the business 1916 01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:09,360 Speaker 29: that they could make a bit better, Helen. We're talking 1917 01:28:09,360 --> 01:28:12,439 Speaker 29: about a plant that is efficient, right, We're not talking 1918 01:28:12,479 --> 01:28:16,759 Speaker 29: about a rundown old mill that's not producing good quality product. 1919 01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:20,160 Speaker 29: They are doing all that. This decision is being made 1920 01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:22,400 Speaker 29: at a higher level, and it's going to cost the 1921 01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:26,760 Speaker 29: seventy five workers potentially and seventy five families. Now those 1922 01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:29,920 Speaker 29: are just the direct impact. We're also talking about the 1923 01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:33,400 Speaker 29: you know, the impact of workers that feed into this 1924 01:28:33,560 --> 01:28:36,519 Speaker 29: pulp mill. So we're talking about a lot more than 1925 01:28:36,600 --> 01:28:39,759 Speaker 29: seventy five people who and families who could be affected 1926 01:28:39,800 --> 01:28:40,400 Speaker 29: by this closure. 1927 01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:43,040 Speaker 3: And we aren't really going to send paper all the 1928 01:28:43,080 --> 01:28:45,439 Speaker 3: way to Malaysia and then bring it back here again, 1929 01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:47,200 Speaker 3: are we I mean, the carbon footprint on that and 1930 01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:49,280 Speaker 3: the cost must speak extraordinary. Why don't we just burn 1931 01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:50,759 Speaker 3: We're going to be chucking on the landfill. 1932 01:28:51,479 --> 01:28:53,840 Speaker 29: Well, because there's money in it, Helen, Right, This, this 1933 01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:56,599 Speaker 29: is how they've been able to tap into this industry 1934 01:28:56,640 --> 01:28:58,400 Speaker 29: to make money out of it. Right, it makes sense. 1935 01:28:58,439 --> 01:29:00,519 Speaker 29: I mean, it's it's simple. It makes since. You just 1936 01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:03,960 Speaker 29: it's the full circle sort of ideal. Right, you keep 1937 01:29:04,040 --> 01:29:06,680 Speaker 29: recycling so you can keep making the same product. The 1938 01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:09,880 Speaker 29: problem we've got here is that and and this is 1939 01:29:09,960 --> 01:29:12,120 Speaker 29: successive governments. I'm not not here to pick on any 1940 01:29:12,160 --> 01:29:14,679 Speaker 29: specific government, but this is successive governments. 1941 01:29:14,760 --> 01:29:14,880 Speaker 6: Right. 1942 01:29:14,920 --> 01:29:18,559 Speaker 29: We have failed for decades to get our a mt 1943 01:29:18,680 --> 01:29:20,960 Speaker 29: G when it comes to this sort of model. You know, 1944 01:29:21,040 --> 01:29:24,080 Speaker 29: we've allowed businesses to come into the country, get their 1945 01:29:24,439 --> 01:29:27,800 Speaker 29: footprint in here, and then they'll use our product or 1946 01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:30,920 Speaker 29: use our expertise or knowledge and then take it away 1947 01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:33,320 Speaker 29: back home and then start selling it back to us. 1948 01:29:33,439 --> 01:29:35,599 Speaker 29: It's just I mean, we did it with wood, we're 1949 01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:38,599 Speaker 29: doing it with our meal products. It just doesn't seem 1950 01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:41,439 Speaker 29: to work. And yet, and yet now at the moment, 1951 01:29:41,520 --> 01:29:44,160 Speaker 29: there seems to be more concerned about teachers dealing lunches 1952 01:29:44,200 --> 01:29:48,240 Speaker 29: and road cones. I mean, where is the you know, 1953 01:29:48,360 --> 01:29:50,840 Speaker 29: where's the full process at the moment in central government? 1954 01:29:50,880 --> 01:29:54,160 Speaker 29: They should not be allowing this to happen because I think, 1955 01:29:54,240 --> 01:29:55,880 Speaker 29: I mean this, this is the sneic of Mehale and 1956 01:29:56,080 --> 01:29:58,120 Speaker 29: that you see tends to be a need to move 1957 01:29:58,360 --> 01:30:01,160 Speaker 29: up unemployment. I just under whether this government at the 1958 01:30:01,200 --> 01:30:03,320 Speaker 29: moment is trying to get unemployment to a point where 1959 01:30:03,960 --> 01:30:06,040 Speaker 29: once it gets to that level, they'll start looking at 1960 01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:09,320 Speaker 29: making decisions on keeping the rest of the country in jobs. 1961 01:30:09,400 --> 01:30:10,680 Speaker 29: And are these workers not. 1962 01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:15,200 Speaker 3: Just the government does not trying to help, Well, they're not. 1963 01:30:15,560 --> 01:30:18,320 Speaker 29: I mean, there hasn't been any sort of suggestion. Well, well, 1964 01:30:18,360 --> 01:30:20,360 Speaker 29: this is the thing, Helen. They haven't even bothered the 1965 01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:23,000 Speaker 29: coming of conversations. I mean, they are one of the 1966 01:30:23,120 --> 01:30:26,000 Speaker 29: largest shareholders within the power companies. What can they do 1967 01:30:26,320 --> 01:30:29,280 Speaker 29: justin well, well, they could come in and start having 1968 01:30:29,320 --> 01:30:30,400 Speaker 29: conversations like they did with. 1969 01:30:31,120 --> 01:30:32,360 Speaker 3: It's not going to save the jobs. 1970 01:30:33,080 --> 01:30:34,960 Speaker 29: It's not going to save the jobs. But they haven't 1971 01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:39,160 Speaker 29: even bothered to engage. We do simply what they what 1972 01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:41,439 Speaker 29: they did with t y point, come into these companies 1973 01:30:41,479 --> 01:30:44,400 Speaker 29: and start giving them some financial support in trying to 1974 01:30:44,439 --> 01:30:46,840 Speaker 29: get through this right, have a look at the gen 1975 01:30:46,920 --> 01:30:49,680 Speaker 29: Taylor's and have some conversations about reducing the prices through 1976 01:30:49,720 --> 01:30:50,240 Speaker 29: these periods. 1977 01:30:50,280 --> 01:30:53,720 Speaker 3: I don't know, yep, okay, I mean, neither of them 1978 01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:55,920 Speaker 3: are going to work, but at least you have ideas. 1979 01:30:56,360 --> 01:30:58,840 Speaker 3: Justin thank you very much, really appreciate it. Justin Wallace, 1980 01:30:58,880 --> 01:31:05,080 Speaker 3: first union organized six times, I started counting up. I 1981 01:31:05,200 --> 01:31:08,080 Speaker 3: was like, nah, that first one was a mistake. After 1982 01:31:08,160 --> 01:31:11,000 Speaker 3: three times I started counting, it was a full six Helen's. 1983 01:31:11,160 --> 01:31:12,559 Speaker 3: And then I didn't want to tell him you're talking 1984 01:31:12,600 --> 01:31:15,040 Speaker 3: to Heather because then he might be like, oh, dear god, 1985 01:31:15,160 --> 01:31:17,080 Speaker 3: am I talking to Heather diplicy Allen? Oh no, hell no, 1986 01:31:17,280 --> 01:31:18,560 Speaker 3: and then hung out. And I didn't want that to 1987 01:31:18,640 --> 01:31:20,519 Speaker 3: happen on air. So I was like, let's just continue 1988 01:31:20,560 --> 01:31:23,400 Speaker 3: to Let's allow him to believe it's Helen. I don't 1989 01:31:23,479 --> 01:31:25,759 Speaker 3: know that there's an interviewer in this country called Helen 1990 01:31:25,840 --> 01:31:29,479 Speaker 3: on the radio. But it got us through, didn't it. 1991 01:31:29,880 --> 01:31:35,320 Speaker 3: It did anyway, it made my ego, which really bruised it. 1992 01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:35,519 Speaker 24: Though. 1993 01:31:35,560 --> 01:31:41,480 Speaker 3: I six, I don't know if it's worse than Hoskings. 1994 01:31:41,680 --> 01:31:43,640 Speaker 3: I think it's worse because at least with him is 1995 01:31:43,720 --> 01:31:45,960 Speaker 3: just another s with me as a completely different person. 1996 01:31:46,040 --> 01:31:47,320 Speaker 3: Sixteen away from seven. 1997 01:31:47,640 --> 01:31:51,320 Speaker 1: Crunching the numbers and getting the results. It's Heather duplessy 1998 01:31:51,400 --> 01:31:54,960 Speaker 1: Ellen with the Business Hour thanks to my HR, the 1999 01:31:55,200 --> 01:31:59,519 Speaker 1: HR solution for busy smys on news TALKSB I got it. 2000 01:31:59,560 --> 01:32:01,400 Speaker 3: Silky through what's gone on with you? I don't know 2001 01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:03,240 Speaker 3: if you realize this, but there is like merchandise. It 2002 01:32:03,280 --> 01:32:05,200 Speaker 3: comes up with with mari language. But you've got to 2003 01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:07,439 Speaker 3: run you through that shortly. Right now, it's thirteen away 2004 01:32:07,439 --> 01:32:10,000 Speaker 3: from seven and Gavin Gray are UK correspondence with us. Now, 2005 01:32:10,040 --> 01:32:16,559 Speaker 3: Hey Kevin, Kevin, now, oh there you are. 2006 01:32:16,600 --> 01:32:16,800 Speaker 6: Hello. 2007 01:32:16,960 --> 01:32:21,000 Speaker 3: Sorry, we're having well, we're having issues with the phones today. Anyway, 2008 01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:23,000 Speaker 3: it's good to talk to you. Hugh Edwards. What do 2009 01:32:23,080 --> 01:32:23,320 Speaker 3: you reckon? 2010 01:32:23,360 --> 01:32:26,439 Speaker 4: He's going to get in sentencing, Yeah, back in for 2011 01:32:26,560 --> 01:32:30,880 Speaker 4: sentencing today. The forty one year old does potentially face 2012 01:32:31,640 --> 01:32:34,080 Speaker 4: up to three years in jail or could receive a 2013 01:32:34,160 --> 01:32:36,960 Speaker 4: community order with a condition that he undergoes a sex 2014 01:32:37,080 --> 01:32:40,920 Speaker 4: offender treatment program. So this is all because he has 2015 01:32:41,400 --> 01:32:46,080 Speaker 4: pleaded guilty to charges involving having and receiving in decent 2016 01:32:46,160 --> 01:32:49,599 Speaker 4: images of children they were sent to him on WhatsApp, 2017 01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:53,759 Speaker 4: including some showing a victim age between seven and nine, 2018 01:32:54,640 --> 01:32:58,120 Speaker 4: and therefore very very serious on the scale of these 2019 01:32:58,200 --> 01:33:01,519 Speaker 4: sorts of things. At his last appearance he pleaded guilty 2020 01:33:01,560 --> 01:33:04,559 Speaker 4: to three counts of making indecent images of children. Now, 2021 01:33:04,600 --> 01:33:07,840 Speaker 4: to be clear, that means you could just open an 2022 01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:11,240 Speaker 4: attachment with an indecent image, so it is a rather 2023 01:33:11,360 --> 01:33:14,120 Speaker 4: sort of catch or phrase. But under the law as well, 2024 01:33:14,160 --> 01:33:17,200 Speaker 4: those images can mean photos or video clips. So this 2025 01:33:17,360 --> 01:33:19,599 Speaker 4: is very very serious for him. He has of course 2026 01:33:19,720 --> 01:33:22,040 Speaker 4: now left the BBC, but this is a man who 2027 01:33:22,120 --> 01:33:26,559 Speaker 4: guided the nation through elections, through the death of Queen Elizabeth, 2028 01:33:26,640 --> 01:33:29,640 Speaker 4: through the coronation of King Charles. I mean, one just 2029 01:33:29,760 --> 01:33:32,840 Speaker 4: can't stress how important he's been in British sort of 2030 01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:36,439 Speaker 4: news and society. So this is a big, big downfall. 2031 01:33:36,560 --> 01:33:39,560 Speaker 4: And perhaps the last chapter in this could be in 2032 01:33:39,840 --> 01:33:42,160 Speaker 4: roughly two and a bit ours time when he's due 2033 01:33:42,160 --> 01:33:44,040 Speaker 4: in court at Westminster Forth sentence. 2034 01:33:44,160 --> 01:33:45,639 Speaker 3: It's going to be fascinating to see how it plays 2035 01:33:45,680 --> 01:33:48,320 Speaker 3: that Gevin not going well for the government with the 2036 01:33:48,400 --> 01:33:49,080 Speaker 3: early release of the. 2037 01:33:49,080 --> 01:33:53,360 Speaker 4: Prisoners, is it I no, it's not so we reported, 2038 01:33:53,400 --> 01:33:56,439 Speaker 4: didn't we about how the government's got overcrowding in prisons here. 2039 01:33:56,720 --> 01:33:59,280 Speaker 4: The current government is blaming that on the previous government. 2040 01:33:59,479 --> 01:34:02,080 Speaker 4: And when I say overcrowding, I do mean pretty much 2041 01:34:02,280 --> 01:34:05,880 Speaker 4: every single space being used. So they've decided to release 2042 01:34:05,960 --> 01:34:09,639 Speaker 4: people early. The normal status is to release somebody after 2043 01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:13,040 Speaker 4: good behavior, after they've served half their sentence. The government 2044 01:34:13,120 --> 01:34:16,720 Speaker 4: reduced that to forty percent, and so last week two 2045 01:34:16,840 --> 01:34:20,240 Speaker 4: thousand prisoners were released. Now we learn that a thirty 2046 01:34:20,360 --> 01:34:24,000 Speaker 4: one year old man who had just been released was 2047 01:34:24,120 --> 01:34:28,599 Speaker 4: rearrested after he allegedly sexually assaulted a woman. So I mean, 2048 01:34:28,640 --> 01:34:30,599 Speaker 4: you couldn't make it up, really, could you. The Ministry 2049 01:34:30,600 --> 01:34:33,400 Speaker 4: of Justice said the early release scheme is necessary because 2050 01:34:33,439 --> 01:34:36,080 Speaker 4: it had inherited prisons in crisis and on the brink 2051 01:34:36,080 --> 01:34:38,400 Speaker 4: could collapse. But the government is saying, look, we have 2052 01:34:38,680 --> 01:34:42,120 Speaker 4: to do this. Whereas this particular man, a Mari Ward, 2053 01:34:42,200 --> 01:34:44,760 Speaker 4: is alleged to have intentionally touched a woman who did 2054 01:34:44,840 --> 01:34:48,839 Speaker 4: not consent in Kent in Southeast England. He was arrested 2055 01:34:48,920 --> 01:34:52,479 Speaker 4: at an address later in South London, charged with sexual assault, 2056 01:34:52,600 --> 01:34:55,680 Speaker 4: denied bail and recalled to prison. The government said we 2057 01:34:55,840 --> 01:34:59,639 Speaker 4: did not release anyone who was convicted. Of a violent 2058 01:34:59,640 --> 01:35:03,040 Speaker 4: affair or domestic abuse or anything very very serious. But 2059 01:35:03,160 --> 01:35:06,479 Speaker 4: I think many will highlight this case in particular as 2060 01:35:06,560 --> 01:35:09,639 Speaker 4: showing that the government has made a big mistake allowing 2061 01:35:09,800 --> 01:35:13,040 Speaker 4: so many people out, and incidentally more people coming out 2062 01:35:13,200 --> 01:35:14,080 Speaker 4: in the next few weeks. 2063 01:35:14,160 --> 01:35:16,439 Speaker 3: Given the problem is that one of the big benefits 2064 01:35:16,479 --> 01:35:19,760 Speaker 3: of part of Keir Starmer's brand had been the tough 2065 01:35:19,880 --> 01:35:21,760 Speaker 3: prosecutor guy. Right, This has got to knock right to 2066 01:35:21,800 --> 01:35:22,240 Speaker 3: the heart of that. 2067 01:35:23,439 --> 01:35:23,639 Speaker 6: Yeah. 2068 01:35:23,680 --> 01:35:26,200 Speaker 4: Absolutely so. This was the man who's the former head 2069 01:35:26,520 --> 01:35:30,599 Speaker 4: of State Prosecutions, the Crown Prosecution Service, playing it tough, 2070 01:35:30,720 --> 01:35:33,639 Speaker 4: trying to take a leaf out of the former government's book, 2071 01:35:33,640 --> 01:35:36,000 Speaker 4: which is always the party that's been respected for law 2072 01:35:36,040 --> 01:35:38,880 Speaker 4: and order, and now having to admit that he's releasing 2073 01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:40,879 Speaker 4: people early has not gone down. 2074 01:35:40,760 --> 01:35:41,639 Speaker 3: Well, not at all. 2075 01:35:41,920 --> 01:35:42,040 Speaker 6: Hey. 2076 01:35:43,360 --> 01:35:46,120 Speaker 3: For us in New Zealand, the phones in school ben 2077 01:35:46,320 --> 01:35:48,800 Speaker 3: has been brilliant. So it's going to work with you guys, 2078 01:35:48,920 --> 01:35:49,160 Speaker 3: isn't it. 2079 01:35:50,360 --> 01:35:51,320 Speaker 2: Well, I would hope so. 2080 01:35:51,640 --> 01:35:54,720 Speaker 4: And the government's looking at this.
