1 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: Someone who sure does get around is our local MP, 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 1: James Mega Morning. 3 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 2: I'm not the only one that gets around. 4 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,120 Speaker 1: I think, Well, good to spot you at the opening 5 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: of that new meth in Central yesterday. What a wonderful facility. 6 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, its fantastic. I think they've done a really amazing job. 7 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 2: And to be able to do it for half the 8 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 2: price that what they're originally trying to do, I think 9 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 2: it's superb, really great for the community. Method is obviously 10 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 2: growing and we're going to need a lot more residential 11 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 2: housing and care for our older community. So it's really 12 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,599 Speaker 2: quite cool to see. And I noticed that you put 13 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 2: your name on the list, so that might be a 14 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 2: while before you get in, but you've been eying out 15 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 2: your room already and. 16 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,319 Speaker 1: As well start early. I'd be pretty happy to call 17 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: that home. In all fairness, I wonder if it was 18 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: Audrey's called to insist on the built in hair salon. 19 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: Did you spot that. 20 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 2: I did? I did it with fatly a bit of ton. 21 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 2: If I had a personal huge assag just living next 22 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 2: door in my room, I think could save a lot 23 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:54,279 Speaker 2: of time and energy and. 24 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: Cough, I seem to be spending at least and less 25 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,279 Speaker 1: time in the cell on these days, which is a 26 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: sober remind under of the sense of time and what 27 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: it does to your body. Right back up to the 28 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: beehive for another busy week. We're being told there's more 29 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: RMA announcements coming this afternoon. 30 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 2: What do you know, Yes, a big day today, I 31 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,559 Speaker 2: should say, is the culmination of two years of really 32 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 2: hard work by Minister Bishop and what the whole cabinet 33 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 2: really to do. So this is turning the planning system 34 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 2: on its head. We're going to be doing things like 35 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 2: cutting the number of consents you need by about forty 36 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 2: or fifty percent, saying things like if you're just doing 37 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 2: some internal reconfiguration of your house, that's sort of up 38 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 2: to you and it's not going to have an impact 39 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 2: on anyone else. You don't need consent for that. And 40 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 2: it all come as a big relief to our farmers 41 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 2: and agricultural community as we love to get into the 42 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 2: open to year businesses for media, it's going to be big. 43 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 2: It's going to be the biggest change to the resturs 44 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 2: since it was introduced, and it's going to be really 45 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 2: really valuable for our economy while still maintain solid environment. 46 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: Oh I hope this phone line holds up. I'm told 47 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: that we've got around twelve hundred zones bespoke zones up 48 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: and down the country, and you could well be taking 49 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: it to under twenty. Is that right, there's pretty significant. 50 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the idea around trying to streamline and standardize 51 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 2: a lot of the classifications and zones. It's a little 52 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,679 Speaker 2: bit technical that one, but basically what it means is 53 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 2: that all these different councils have all these different zones, 54 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 2: so if you're building in two different places, you don't 55 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: really know what you need to do. 56 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: Half even in the same council, they don't know what's 57 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: going on. 58 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,679 Speaker 2: Well, that's probably fear, especially if you've got some quite 59 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 2: big ones across a lot of land. So you can 60 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 2: streamline it down but can still allow those local councils 61 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 2: to have decisions around local conditions made by them. That's 62 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 2: still going to be good. We've got to have choice 63 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 2: and we're going to have to make sure the community 64 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 2: has say on particularly how things run in the area. 65 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,679 Speaker 2: But making it sort of streamline across the country is 66 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 2: going to cut a lot of the cost and the 67 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 2: lot of the waiste out of the system, and that's 68 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 2: why you're going to need some streamlined local government too. 69 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 2: So from today people will see why we came out 70 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 2: with the local government reform at the same time, because 71 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 2: it makes sense to relook at what the functions are 72 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 2: of all those councils while we're doing ourn a reform. 73 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: Right on one o'clock this afternoon, Hey, keeping with politics 74 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: super quick, another early Christmas present for yourself with the 75 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: One News poll last night turns out that you may 76 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 1: well be backing the right horse. If we can keep 77 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: the economy on track, then twenty six, surely you've got 78 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: another term in the bag. 79 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 2: Well yeah, I mean it's helpful and healthy to see 80 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 2: we're always confident that give time for some of those 81 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 2: underlying reforms that we're trying to do to bed in, 82 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: give time for the dropping interest rates and dropping mortgage 83 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: rates to flow through into people's while it's and people's households, 84 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 2: and also the massive boost that the farming sector has 85 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 2: given New Zulm economy. That all takes time to flow through, 86 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 2: and I think we're starting to see that, and it's 87 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: really nice to see that leading into Christmas, people are 88 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 2: feeling more confident about where they are next year. They're 89 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 2: feeling like things are on the up and that will 90 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 2: do well for our retailers and our local hospitality too 91 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 2: as we move into hopefully a very hot, nice long 92 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 2: summer season. 93 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: Well, yes, with the heat, maybe you're not as willing 94 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: to rock that Christmas jumper that I spotted you in 95 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: at the Center Parade on set today. Who'd you pack 96 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: us the best float? 97 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 2: The Scouts took that one out. I thought they were 98 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 2: just fantastic. 99 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: There are about a million of them all packed onto 100 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: the truck. 101 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 2: Well that's right, I guess there is four some numbers 102 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 2: and they were all really well present to great uniforms, 103 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 2: awesome decorations, and good engagement with the crowds. So went 104 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 2: for the Scouts this time around. But there's always a 105 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 2: chance for you next year if you bring out that 106 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 2: double dinner again. I thought you were really close last year.
