1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: You're trusted Hove for news, sport, entertainment, opinion, and Mike

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: the Mic asking Breakfast with the Defender, Embraced the impossible news,

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: togs End Billy.

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 2: And while Kerman seems a show of winners and good news. Today,

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 2: retail confidence multi year high as the events industry has

6
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 2: brought in a fortune. Hamish Kerg got the Supreme Helberg

7
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: last night, Melissa Lyon master Cheff Hall's taste of arts

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 2: into a foody word after eight Catherines in Europe, Rod

9
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: does the United Kingdom for US Lasky by Tuesday morning,

10
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 2: seven past six. There is a court case that started

11
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 2: in California last week that will continue into this It's

12
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: being watched globally. They're calling it Landmark. KGM is the

13
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 2: plaint of KGM as a person they refer to by initials.

14
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 2: The big players in social media are being sued for

15
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 2: making addictive algorithms that suckers into a dependency. We can't

16
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: escape from Snapchat and TikTok settle, but meta is there.

17
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: Zuckerberg is apparently going to testify. Instagram's boss already has.

18
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: My guess is KGM will lose. It's not impossible that

19
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: in the first chapter at LEAs they may have found

20
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: an interventionist court that is prepared to have a crack

21
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: and find guilt. After all, there in court in California

22
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: for a reason. If you want liberal and interventionists, that's

23
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: where you head. I would have thought proving an algorithm

24
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,199
Speaker 2: is addictive as a very high bar. But increasingly around

25
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 2: the world, whether through court or government, the battle or

26
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 2: fight back against social media and big tech is very

27
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: definitely on, and unlike a lot of court action in America,

28
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 2: should Meta and Co lose, it will be appealed and

29
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: if necessary, all the way to these supreme courts. So

30
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 2: this has got a long, long way to go. But

31
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: as Instagram's head, a guy called Adam Maserri said, and

32
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,639
Speaker 2: this is why I think KGM will lose. At some point,

33
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 2: you have to recognize social media as a personal choice,

34
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: and social media can't be addictive. If it was, we

35
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 2: all would be, and we're not. This may ultimately fall

36
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: into the growing category of social or moral or health issues,

37
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: whereby we look for a scapegoat based on our buyers

38
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: towards size. I mean, tech is big, the companies are rich,

39
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: They're an easy target. The fact Snapchat and TikTok settled

40
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: is because who needs the headache of a court battle,

41
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: not because they feel in it. Sort of guilt that,

42
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: of course, is the weak point of the judicial process.

43
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: Drags something out long enough, threatened enough reputational damage. A

44
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 2: checkbook is an easy decision. As I've said many times,

45
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: I got no doubt Big Tech could be better corporate citizen.

46
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 2: They could do more to achieve less harm. But at

47
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: some point in this case is most likely an example

48
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 2: just pointing a finger for our own frailties will not

49
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 2: fix the frailties. Only the lawyers win.

50
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 3: News of the world in ninety seconds.

51
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, related matters. The under five pm starmer starts his

52
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: week well still as pm, which is something I suppose.

53
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: So the plan appears to be distraction, both good and bad.

54
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: Good well social media band.

55
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 4: I can see the argument that a much more restrictive

56
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 4: content based approach which doesn't necessarily cut out news and

57
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 4: useful information. I think we need to test those options

58
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 4: in the consultation. But whatever the outcome, it can't be nothing.

59
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: And the online safety campaign is they're all over that.

60
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 5: What we're calling for is that tech companies actually force

61
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 5: their own rules. You know all of our social media

62
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 5: platforms say that children under thirteen shouldn't beyond them.

63
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: That's their rules.

64
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 5: But offcom's data shays there are two and a half

65
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 5: million children young people on social media platforms.

66
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: They're not so good to humiliating backtown this morning over

67
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 2: the local council vote delays. They're now not delayed because

68
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 2: reform threatened to soon.

69
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 6: We're going to avoid, for example, the ludicrous situation where

70
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 6: some cancers who have been elected for a four year

71
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 6: term of office, we're due to end up getting seven years,

72
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 6: three whole extra years in power without voters getting a

73
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 6: say so, being chaotic.

74
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: Then Iran, the Middle East end the border piece, the

75
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: border piece, first meeting is this week. Since Gaza isn't

76
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: quite where it needs to be.

77
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 7: We don't have a lot of time.

78
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,839
Speaker 1: Actually, we have quite the limited windows to make sure

79
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: that this process works, because otherwise the options will become

80
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: very very grim for everyone.

81
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: Same kind of applies to a run.

82
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 5: They have kind often the Trump.

83
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 8: I have no hope about Donald Trump. They could already

84
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 8: help many other Iranian people can do sanctions from outside.

85
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 8: They just want war, They want to destroy our country.

86
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 8: We don't want that, and.

87
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: In the States. Is it just meet or do the

88
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: feeds not seem to have the slightest clue about what's

89
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: happened to Savannah Guthrie's mum.

90
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 9: We still have hope and I wanted to see.

91
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 3: To whoever.

92
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 9: Has her or knows where she is. It's never too late.

93
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: Finally, Logan Paul is back for the most expensive trading

94
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: card ever. It's a Pokemon card. There were forty one

95
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,679
Speaker 2: copies of what was called the Picati Illustrator's Card. Only

96
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: one of those forty one was great at psaighteen, which

97
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 2: is the highest quality for a trading card. Logan Paul

98
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 2: bought that for eight point eight million back in twenty

99
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 2: twenty one, which was a record at the time. He's

100
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: just sold at the twenty seven point one, so eight

101
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: point eight the twenty seven point one plus the boxing money. Anyway,

102
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 2: it was bought by a venture capitalist called Scaramuci. And

103
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 2: you go, well, hold on, do I know the name Scaramuchi? Yes,

104
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: you do know the name Scaramucci. He's the son of

105
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: Anthony Scaramucci, as.

106
00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 10: In the Mucci.

107
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: Here's the world, Japan's economy, and this is why I

108
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: take each sees and she's got to rep the place

109
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: up zero point one quarter on quarter and year on year.

110
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: This is GDP so technically back into growth, technically missed expectations,

111
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: technically not a recession, but they're looking to do a

112
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: bit better. Twelve past six.

113
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, how

114
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: off my news talk seppy.

115
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 2: Actually, the other thing Star is talking about this morning

116
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 2: is bringing forward to some defense spending. Had promised two

117
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 2: and a half percent of GDP by April of next year,

118
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 2: then three percent by the end of next parliament. But

119
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 2: he's looking at that three percent by the end of

120
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 2: this current parliament, which would be some time before twenty

121
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 2: twenty nine. Anyway, more with Rod later fifteen pers Sure

122
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 2: in Partners Andrew teller Her, Welcome to Tuesday Morning Mike Services.

123
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: We're still an expansion, it still feels good. There's still

124
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: a flecker, that's still a vibe, there's still a green shoot.

125
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 10: All of the above.

126
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 11: However, I would say lots of There was lots of

127
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 11: data floating around yesterday, and the only thing I would

128
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 11: say is that just on a sort of a more

129
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 11: of a sort of helicopter view, it does look like

130
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 11: the general data is taking just a little bit of

131
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 11: a breather from that sort of run generally of general

132
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 11: economic data leading into Christmas that looked a little bit better,

133
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 11: So there's no reason to believe the momentum still isn't there.

134
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 11: But I think we are now going to need February

135
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 11: March to confirm that improving trend that we saw at

136
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 11: the end of twenty twenty five.

137
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 10: So yeah, services big part of the economy.

138
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 11: The B and Z Business New Zealand Performance of Services

139
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 11: Index printed at fifty point nine, so it's above that

140
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 11: fifty benchmark that sings expansions yet all good, but slightly

141
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,119
Speaker 11: lower than the December print.

142
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 10: You've got the five sub indexes.

143
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 11: Three of them, though, are under fifty, but the two

144
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 11: that are above fifty are activity, sales and new orders,

145
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 11: So if they're the ones you really want to be

146
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 11: above fifty.

147
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 10: Employment, they're still lagging a little bit. And for the first.

148
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 11: Time since mid twenty twenty three that we've had two

149
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 11: consecutive months above the break even fifty level, So yeah,

150
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 11: that is.

151
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: Good, excellent, And then what else have we got? We

152
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 2: got the sales card transactions and now that was a

153
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 2: bit flat. That was a bit damp, wasn't it, But wet?

154
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 11: Yes, So transaction data for January electronic card transactions a

155
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 11: little subdued, is how I describe it. Both total retail

156
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 11: and call retail sales were lower. So these are seasonally

157
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 11: adjusted Mike numbers as well, So it's not just about

158
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 11: the fact that it's January. Yeah, the question here is

159
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 11: what roll did the weather play in January?

160
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 10: Because it was a little bit awful.

161
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 11: But actually, Mike, that makes you think about February as well,

162
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 11: because February hasn't exactly been great either, has it. Look

163
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 11: total retail sales total retail electronic card transactions fell one

164
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 11: point one percent, seasonally adjusted, call retail declined zero point

165
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 11: nine percent. HOSPO fell two point one percent. You'd expect

166
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 11: that to be especially susceptible to poor weather. Look the trend,

167
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 11: the trend on retail sales has lifted, Mike, but it's

168
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 11: a bit of a hesit trend, which is we need

169
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 11: to see confirmation of it. And then, of course you

170
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 11: get to the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand data

171
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 11: sales and price data for January, again on a seasonally

172
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 11: adjusted basis, both sales activity and prices slipped a year

173
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 11: and year the house price index down zero point seven percent,

174
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 11: so house prices on a national basis still going sideways.

175
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 10: You've got some pretty notable regional divergence.

176
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 11: Allkland down two point six percent, but Canterbury of course

177
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 11: up two.

178
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 10: Point eight percent. There is what we can point to, Mike.

179
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 11: There's a very healthy uptrended activity, so sales volumes increasing,

180
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 11: but you've still got this imbalance between how many sales

181
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 11: you've got and how much stuff you've got on the market.

182
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 10: So stock on the market.

183
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 11: And jam sales looked notably soft, even allowing for seasonality.

184
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 10: That could have been weather as well.

185
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 11: It's only one month though, you don't want to extrapolate

186
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 11: that out history tales is February March.

187
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 10: Do see activity pick up again.

188
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 11: Just wonder whether or not the interest right outlook changing

189
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 11: is having any effect.

190
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 10: We'll see over February much whether that's a fact.

191
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 2: Dude. We'll stand by for that tomorrow for some commentary contact,

192
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 2: so reporting season contact. We got Mike Fujon after seven

193
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: o'clock this morning, along with the Freightways rock Star NA two.

194
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 2: They're all good, weren't they all good?

195
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 10: Mike?

196
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 11: Looking for capital Contact Energy. That was the big news

197
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 11: that greeted us as we came into it yesterday. So

198
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 11: it's strong half year financial results, So Mike should have

199
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 11: some he should feel very good about that. But we've

200
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 11: got this big capital raising. I think it's fair to

201
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 11: say analysts weren't expecting this. So four hundred and fifty

202
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 11: million fully underwritten institutional offer, seventy five million retail offer.

203
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 11: The reason they're looking for this from selling share or

204
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 11: selling equity is they've got projects progressing a little bit

205
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 11: quicker than expected. So it's all about funding or accelerating

206
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 11: their renewable renewable energy generation development. So that's geothermal, you've

207
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 11: got wind, You've got solar.

208
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 10: You've got batteries, big battery.

209
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 11: Development down near Glenbrook that's two hundred megawatt. You've got

210
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 11: a big solar farm just north of cal Copper Copper

211
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 11: Glory a one hundred and fifty megawat Solo Fum there. Look,

212
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 11: they previously indicated that these would be funded from their

213
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 11: balance sheet. Look, I think this is a good confident

214
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 11: move from management and the board. Mike follows the acquisition

215
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 11: of Manowa Energy. Basically it illustrates their belief that this

216
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 11: whole bunch of stuff will will push the growth of

217
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 11: electricity demand.

218
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 10: And yes, what can you say?

219
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 11: Freightways good number and a two milkshare price up five percent.

220
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 10: So it's a good day, I reckon. We love good.

221
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: Days, Yeah, love good days. What are the numbers?

222
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 11: Well, we've got nothing out of the US because they've

223
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 11: got President's Day there. But if I just look at

224
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 11: the futures markets that were training yesterday had small games

225
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 11: in the Dow Jones s and P five hundred, small

226
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 11: fall in the Nasdaq, the forty one hundred though they

227
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 11: were up quarter percent ten four hundred and seventy three.

228
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 11: The necket was down quarter percent fifty six thousand, eight

229
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 11: hundred and six. We've got nothing out of the Shanghai

230
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 11: composite this week because they're having the big week off

231
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 11: for Chinese New Year. But the Aussie's yesterday game zero

232
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 11: point two two percent eight nine three seven. And unfortunately

233
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 11: though we fell on the ins ofex fifty, we fell

234
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 11: eighty points despite the good results, zero point sixty one

235
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 11: percent thirteen one hundred and seventeen. Here we dollar point

251
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: ten percent. So we are traveling, we are holidaying. We're

252
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 2: having a good time at A six twenty one. You're

253
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 2: a news talk zbo.

254
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered

255
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 1: by News Talks at Me.

256
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 2: Maybe Presidents David. They're calling it a new housing crisis

257
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: as well. The realties that are calling it are January

258
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: home sales of tank more than eight percent. New housing crisis,

259
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 2: is there on the brighter side Navarro, who is Trump's

260
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: trade advisor, And I think this is wise. They're suggesting

261
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 2: for these data centers. And if you follow data centers

262
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 2: and their requirement for water and electricity, what happens when

263
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 2: data centers come to town is everybody's power bill goes

264
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 2: through the roof, and Americans are sick of it. And

265
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 2: so they're saying, what we're going to need to do

266
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 2: is they need to pay not only pay for the

267
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 2: electricity they're using on the grid, but they have to

268
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: pay for the resiliency that they're affecting as well. They

269
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 2: need to pay for the water. So there's activity action

270
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 2: here going forward. So in other words, you want to

271
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 2: set up a data center and your meta, you can

272
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 2: afford to do it. You pay the bill, not everyone else.

273
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: So I think that'll play fairly well.

274
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 12: Six twenty five trending now with Warehouse the Real House

275

277
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 2: See maybe trailers are the new shows. Maybe a trailer

278
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 2: is all we need now. This is Young Sherlock Laters

Speaker 2: of Guy Richie so far has been view two hundred

297
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: and twenty three million times in the last seven That's

298
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 2: Prime's most watched trailer ever. Fine Stiffin don't know the

299
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 2: name anyway, He's the young Sherlock Holmes. It's out March four.

300
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 2: Morgan News this morning on the economy, the events business.

301
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 2: And this is interesting because for a while there we

302
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: figured we'd only ever meet on zoom ever again, but

303
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: it's back. It's contributed almost a billion to the economy,

304
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 2: and the amount that people spend seems to be quite

305
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: a lot. As in, when you go to a conference,

306
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 2: you seem to go you go large anyway, you're spending thousand.

307
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 2: So we'll get the numbers on that shortly. And that's

308
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 2: before by the way, this is the past year. This

309
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 2: is before the convention center in Auckland's even been opened,

310
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 2: and they've got was it when they opened it the

311
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 2: other day they said they'd already got one hundred and

312
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 2: twenty bookings for the year, which struck me as being

313
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: relatively successful. So that's good. The aforemention of Mike Fuge

314
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 2: out of contact. So the money. But here's the problem

315
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 2: with your power companies. He'll explain it, and I'll put

316
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: that when your profit goes up forty four percent, which

317
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 2: is what it has obviously you he was a punter

318
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 2: and our power bill we go, well, hold on, mate,

319
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 2: what's the story here? And so he'll need to explain

320
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 2: some of that. And Melissa Lyong as in you know food,

321
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: she's with us after eight.

322
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: The newsmakers and the personalities, the big names talk to

323
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: Mike the mic asking breakfast with Bailey's real estate altogether

324
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: better across residential, commercial and rural news talk said been thought.

325
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 2: We brought a counting up with Katherine shortly France Rubio

326
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: in Europe, the much talked about speech over the weekend

327
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 2: at the Munich Get Together, and whether or not in

328
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 2: America actually likes Europe and where we go on all

329
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 2: sorts of things like the war in the Middle East,

330
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: except for so more shortly back home though at twenty

331
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 2: three minutes away from seven turns out. If you hold

332
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 2: and host stuff, it's good for the economy. The business

333
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: events sector contributed almost a billion, nine hundred and twenty

334
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 2: five million, to be precise, to the economy last year

335
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: generate one point five million visitor night spend per Delicate

336
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 2: was strong to Lisa Hopkins as the chief executive at

337
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,359
Speaker 2: Business Events and is with us Lisa.

338
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 16: Morning, good morning.

339
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 2: Is this a growth story? There's more weathers came from.

340
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 16: Absolutely, there's more where this comes from. And I think

341
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 16: you know, this was a data set that was developed

342
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 16: during a year which you know started quite well, ended

343
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 16: very well, but in the middle was quite soft. So

344
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 16: I think we've got some more good news to look

345
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 16: forward to for the rest of the year.

346
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 2: Where does the convention center and Auckland fit into this?

347
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 2: Does this provide or drive new business or does it

348
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 2: just divert business from wherever it is now to a

349
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 2: new place.

350
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 16: No, it absolutely drives new business might because what we've

351
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 16: now got is we've now got quite a very strong

352
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 16: sweeter convention centers across the country, which just gives us

353
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 16: a wider opportunity or broader opportunity to take new business

354
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 16: of different sizes, different needs, different requirements. So we're really

355
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 16: in a growth mode with the engine ICC now coming

356
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 16: online as well.

357
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 2: How much of it's how much of its international.

358
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 16: So if you it was quite interesting when the results

359
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 16: came through. So we had about fifty five percent that

360
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 16: came through from domestic delegates and around about twenty three

361
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 16: percent were international and the rest twenty two percent came

362
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 16: from local delegates. So definitely the opportunity and the growth

363
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 16: opportunity is in the international space because that's the piece

364
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 16: which is really infinite in terms of where the opportunity lies.

365
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 16: And with the new convention center, we've now got an

366
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 16: option to bring in even larger conferences.

367
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 2: That thirty seven hundred and twenty six bucks that the

368
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 2: international delegate spends. Does that incorporate what they may do

369
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 2: after they've left the conference, if they take a holiday

370
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 2: that sort of thing.

371
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 16: Or not, Yes, it does because you know, and these

372
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 16: are obviously average spenser. Yes, it does. So we were

373
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 16: based on the data that we got average international delegate

374
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 16: spends just over eight nights here in New Zealand, and

375
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 16: of that only about four of that would be at conference,

376
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 16: and then on average another four would be around the country.

377
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: Because that's solid numbers. Thirty seven hundred dollars is a

378
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 2: solid spin. In fact, even domestic at twenty one hundred.

379
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 2: I I was surprised about. I mean, that's a good spend,

380
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 2: isn't it.

381
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 16: It is a good spend. And of course that also

382
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 16: includes a delegates registration fee because that registration fee also

383
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 16: gets spent in the economy going towards other businesses and

384
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 16: other services that are required to deliver that conference. So

385
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 16: it's a really good news story.

386
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 2: Good to talk. Appreciated very much, Lisa Hopkins, who's the

387
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 2: chief executive of Business Events. Isn't that good? Speaking of

388
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 2: which I must congratulate this morning. I'm sorry this is

389
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 2: an Auckland story, but you know, we're all we're all

390
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 2: a village. It takes a village to run a city,

391
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 2: or it takes a village to run a country, or

392
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 2: whatever the hell Aoray said, anyway, Queen's Arcade, which is

393
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: a beautiful little piece of real estate at the bottom

394
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 2: Queen Street. And I don't want to bore you witless

395
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 2: with my views on Queen Street, because I've done that previously.

396
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 2: But my God needs an injection of life. And some

397
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 2: of the internationals are there, and some of the big players,

398
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 2: you know, your guccies are there, and your prietors are there.

399
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 2: My old mate Eddie, who runs a thing called Faraday's,

400
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 2: has taken the what I would argue is the gamble

401
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 2: of a lifetime and he's opening up a major department

402
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 2: store sometime later this year in Queen Street. So there's

403
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 2: a lot of people going, we're going to go for this,

404
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 2: and we're going to take a risk, and we're going

405
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: to fire this place up. And I couldn't be more

406
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 2: admiring of them. And this morning, the Davis family, who

407
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 2: own the arcade, the Queen's Arcade, they're injecting millions to

408
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 2: turn that into construction starts first of April twenty twenty

409
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 2: six into a boutique, high end retail outlet. I would

410
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 2: argue it probably already has been behind in retail outlet,

411
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 2: but Nevertheless, there's spending more money to make it even

412
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 2: more retail and more high end and I hope more successful.

413
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 2: So well done then nineteen to two.

414

Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast radio powered by

415

Speaker 1: News Talks.

416
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 13: It be.

417
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 2: Now. If you're a fisherman, a diver or a kayakka.

418
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 2: Are you heading out in the old water this summer?

419
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 2: Keep an eye up for the boy boy? Are your

420
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 2: friendly reminder to stay safe before your launch, so you'll

421
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 2: spot the boy boy bobbing out there. Popping up to

422
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 2: remind you of the three big rules on the water.

423
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 2: What are they? Rule one lifejackets look better on wearing

424
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 2: one is the simplest, most effective way to protect yourself.

425
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 2: Rule two, the marine weather forecast won't check itself before

426
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 2: your head out, take a moment to look up the

427
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 2: latest condition so you're not caught by surprise. Rule three

428
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 2: always take two waterproof ways to call for help. But

429
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 2: the cater be beacon of course, and a fine sealed

430
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 2: in a plastic bag That can make all the difference

431
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 2: in an emergency. So preparation is the key to staying safe.

432
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: So before you push off, or paddle out, or drop

433
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 2: a line, or remember be sure before you leave the shore.

434
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 13: There.

435
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 2: Mike just thought the events on folding in Wellington a

436
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 2: glimpse into what a Greens led government would look like.

437
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 2: Money spent on cycle ways rather than core infrastructure and

438
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 2: then crying foul and environmental disasters occur as a result

439
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 2: of shifting blame. You shouldn't worry about a Green's government.

440
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 2: The pole confirmed it yet again last night four poles

441
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 2: of late. Three of the four have the government returned,

442
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 2: one has a dead heat and there is a glaring,

443
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 2: glaring error in last night's pole that I will come

444
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 2: back to in just a couple of moments.

445
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 17: Six forty five International correspondence with ends and Eye Insurance,

446
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 17: Peace of mind for New Zealand business to our.

447
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 2: Friend Captain Field and France, A very good morning to you.

448
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 13: Good morning mate.

449
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 2: So I am interested in the overarching view of what

450
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 2: Rubio said over the weekend because I read several different

451
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 2: reviews and depending on who wrote them, it was either

452
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 2: it was a Valentine's message that was, you know, he

453
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,479
Speaker 2: was the velvet glove to JD's iron fist, or it

454
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 2: was a little bit harder than they thought. So what's

455
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 2: the vibe? What did he say, and how did it

456
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: go down?

457
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 13: That's right, make I mean, the backdrop to all this was,

458
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 13: as you rightly said jd Vance's speech to the Munich

459
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 13: Security Conference last year. Abrasive insulting were the words that

460
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 13: the response to Jennie Vance. So everyone was waiting to

461
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 13: see what Marco Rubio would come up with. So the

462
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 13: sort of phrases he came up with were saying that

463
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 13: the America and the Europeans share a common history, have

464
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 13: got the shared cultural heritage and unbreakable link. Really just

465
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 13: talking about far further back in history than just the

466
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 13: eighty years that there's been this alliance since the end

467
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 13: of the Second World War. Look a lot of bit

468
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 13: more closely, Mike, and you do realize, and this is

469
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 13: what's been said around most of Europe this morning, is

470
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 13: that while he was speaking to an audience of one,

471
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 13: and that one was Donald Trump, some of the themes

472
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 13: he talked about were real ideological themes that you see

473
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 13: among the MAGA crowd, your anti climate threats, that migration

474
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 13: is going to erase civilization, that there has to be

475
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 13: an end to mass migration. All that just talking about

476
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 13: these types of things that really between the lines and

477
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 13: you see, what he's talking about is a white Christian

478
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 13: heritage that America would like to have alongside the European Union.

479
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 13: The other point of the weekend was a lot of

480
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 13: Democrats from the US were at the Munich Security Conference.

481
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 13: They were giving a different vision of America, and they

482
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 13: were holding what's called reassurance meetings, saying to everyone, listen,

483
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 13: you know, there is life after Trump. Trump's not going

484
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 13: to be there forever. That again didn't cut much of

485
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 13: mustard with the Europeans. There is a concern that, yes,

486
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 13: Trump's time and office will come to an end, but

487
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 13: they're still concerned about the type of America that will emerge.

488
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 2: Do you observe does anyone care? I mean Newsome was there.

489
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 2: Is Newsome there because he is everyone assuming in Europe

490
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 2: he's running in twenty eight.

491
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 13: Yeah, everyone's assuming that he was a bit more polished

492
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 13: around the edges at this conference. Remember he came to

493
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 13: Davos when he was really a bit loud man. The

494
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 13: Europeans didn't take it too kindly when he said that

495
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 13: that all the Europeans had just bowed down to try

496
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 13: were kissing the Emperor's ray, so that Europe needed to

497
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 13: wake up. Well, Europe has woken up, and it does

498
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 13: take Europe a long time to get its back together,

499
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 13: but it is getting its backed together. This time he

500
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 13: was a little more polished. He was talking again, these

501
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 13: reassurance meetings. Listen, I'm someone you can do business with.

502
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 2: Very interesting. The death of this young man and the

503
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 2: claim from Macron's folks that this is all far left stuff.

504
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 2: Has this got and the potential that I don't know,

505
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 2: assumingly potentially murder charges alike. Has this got the potential

506
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 2: to blow up?

507
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 13: Difficult to say on this one, Mike, because it's far

508
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:41,239
Speaker 13: left agitators against far right agitators. What essentially happened was

509
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 13: late last week there was a meeting of the far

510
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 13: left France Unvowed Party in Leon, central France. They had

511
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 13: a group of their supporters doing security outside. A group

512
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 13: from the far right, led by this young twenty three

513
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,719
Speaker 13: year old. The far right came to protest against this meeting.

514
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 13: Violence broke out. At least six people attacked this group

515
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 13: of far right and this young man. He went home,

516
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 13: came back to hospital a couple of days later, and

517
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 13: subsequently died of multiple head trauma. The whole point is

518
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 13: that we're going into municipal elections here in March. There's

519
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 13: already tensions ahead of that twenty twenty seven presidential election.

520
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 5: So I think.

521
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 13: When Matt Cron in particular and the Interior minists come

522
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 13: out and say, well, listen, this is all the problem

523
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 13: of the far left, essentially, what they're saying is that

524
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 13: is the party that concerns them the most, that they

525
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 13: could be taking votes away from them, and look at them.

526
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 13: Because the far right is still pretty popular in France,

527
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 13: not so many want to pick a fight with it

528
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 13: at the moment.

529
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 2: Catch up on Thursday, Katherine appreciate. Catherine Field out of

530
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 2: France this morning. By the way. The former energy minister,

531
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 2: a guy called Giloshinko, who was the energy minister for Ukraine.

532
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 2: He was forced out of government last year because he

533
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 2: was among those officials you might remember who was tied

534
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 2: up in this corruption scandal. Anyway, he was on a

535
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: train over the weekend and that train was leaving the

536
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 2: Ukraine and they don't know where he was going, but

537
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 2: he was out of there. It was one hundred million

538
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 2: dollar investment scheme back in November. Chief of staff Yumac

539
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 2: got wound up on that one anyway, this guy was

540
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 2: on the train, so they've nabbed him. Wanted a word,

541
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 2: So you know, for all of the goodwill around Ukraine

542
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 2: and you know whose side you're on, and the war

543
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 2: and stuff like that, we must never forget that you

544
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 2: wouldn't put the term squeaky clean in Ukraine together in

545
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 2: a sentence. All that often ten away from six.

546
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 3: The make Hosking breakfast with the Defender and News, Tom said.

547
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 2: B what do you make of this? Number of people?

548
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 2: Wrote to me this morning Mike the one news Varian

549
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 2: Pole last night fake news. The Murray Party only polled

550
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 2: at two percent. Mikey Sherman's given them six seats. This

551
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 2: could happen if they wouldn't sect an electorate seat. But

552
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 2: let's not forget they expelled to MP so they don't

553
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 2: have succeeds. It's a very very good point. If you

554
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 2: chatch ubt it, it'll tell you that as of the

555
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three election, the Marory Party had six seats,

556
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 2: but as of now, as of the poll, they don't.

557
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 2: They've got four seats and they've got two independents and

558
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 2: that is not represented in this poll. The other thing,

559
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 2: I will continue to bang on about all year as

560
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 2: no one cares whether the National went up or down

561
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 2: two points or Labor went up all down two points.

562
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 2: All that matters is the center left the center right block.

563
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 2: If National lose two to a fellow member of the

564
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 2: coalition or Labor loes to to a fellow member of

565
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 2: the coalition, nothing changes. Add the seats together. That's all.

566
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 2: The election is won and lost on add the seats together,

567
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 2: and on this pole once again, the government gets reelected

568
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 2: five minutes away from seven.

569
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 3: Are the ouse.

570
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: It's the fizz with business fiber take your business productivity

571
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: to the next.

572
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 2: Lest that before you get to the fact. Even if

573
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 2: you give Marory party six seats, are they going to

574
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 2: win six seats given what's happened And that's not reflected

575
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 2: in the poll either. Now, for the first time we

576
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 2: got numbers on how many keywis and businesses use the

577
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 2: top social media app for engagement and into it's Facebook. No,

578
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,719
Speaker 2: it's not, No, it isn't. It's TikTok. So more than

579
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 2: a third of our population is on TikTok. Two million

580
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 2: of us are on the TikTok, most still using it

581
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 2: for ame risks scrolling, though only sixty thousand businesses use

582
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 2: the TikTok. Now we're coming around to the idea, apparently

583
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 2: that social media can assist to business. Given every year

584
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 2: for the last three years the number of local businesses

585
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 2: on TikTok has increased by fifty percent. Currently there are

586
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:31,719
Speaker 2: four point one million New Zealand posts on TikTok. Harker

587
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 2: Videos have a mass. Harker Videos is not a business,

588
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 2: They're just videos at Harker have a massed about six

589
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 2: billion views globally. Some of our biggest brands are into it.

590
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 2: The All Blacks have two million followers sixty seven million likes.

591
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 2: The Warrior is the second most followed NRAL club on

592
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 2: the platform. Not that that means anything. I mean, if

593
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 2: you're on the TikTok to you start winning.

594
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 8: Well.

595
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 2: I didn't see it in Napier over the weekend. I

596
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 2: note this morning, by the way, that Napier is back

597
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 2: in the game. Very good turnout. I reckon. You can

598
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 2: take the Warriors anywhere in this country. It be christ you,

599
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 2: it's Wellington or hawkes Bay, taking the Tower on a

600
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 2: not big enough stadium, but anywhere with the decent sized

601
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 2: stadium donners and they would sell out, and that's how

602
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 2: hot the Warriors are at the moment.

603
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,479
Speaker 18: Interesting given that statistically don't they hind to lose those games?

604
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 2: I think that's fake news, Glynn, Dear. I don't know

605
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 2: if I raised it yesterday, but if you don't count

606
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 2: the last try that the Seagles scored and then you

607
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 2: had a care who put the ball between the posts

608
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 2: virtually one but.

609
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 18: The very White House Press secretary of you that.

610
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 2: This is our year. Have you got that out for

611
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 2: the season, Glynn? This is our year? Have you got

612
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 2: that one warmed up and set to go?

613
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 19: Well?

614
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 2: You should do. For goodness, Contact Big Profit, but they're

615
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 2: spending and spending big. We'll get the details on your

616
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 2: power bill and how this trends in twenty twenty six.

617
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 2: Right after the news, which.

618
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: Is next credible, compelling the breakfast show you can't bess

619
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: it's the Mic Hosking Breakfast with a Vita Retirement Communities,

620
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: Life Your Way News togs head.

621
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 2: B seven past seven. So reporting season with the hope

622
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 2: that some of the results will tell a story of

623
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 2: a turnaround for our economy in general. Contact Energy, first

624
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 2: of the big four gen tailors to report half of

625
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 2: your results net profit up forty four percent. They've announced

626
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 2: that to half billion dollar, five hundred and twenty five

627
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 2: million dollar capital raised as well. Mike Fusia's the contact

628
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 2: energy boss and is with us. Mike.

629
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 15: Morning, morning, Mike, how are you very well?

630
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 2: What's the line between your profit and my power bill?

631
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 15: The line between the profit and power bill? Obviously we

632
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 15: have to collect power bills, but the primary reason for

633
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 15: the profit increase is the investments we've made and the

634
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 15: acquisition of Manoa. So it's not about putting up prices,

635
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 15: it's about investing for your own future.

636
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 2: My person really was given you've made so much profit,

637
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 2: why not put some back into my power bill and

638
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 2: make it a smaller bill.

639
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 15: Our Look, look the energy component of your power bills

640
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 15: going up by ado less inflation. The important thing is

641
00:30:55,440 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 15: we have to invest and build more generation to meet

642
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 15: the growing demand in the New Zealand economy. So it's

643
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 15: a fine balance. And I realize kiyhmes are doing it

644
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 15: tough and no one ever ever appreciates however, I get that,

645
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 15: But there's also that balance of investing for New Zealand's future.

646
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 2: Where is peak investment? I've got you with a battery,

647
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 2: I've got you a solar farm, I've got you geothermaling,

648
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 2: and I'm assuming the other gent tailors are doing something similar.

649
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 2: That's a lot of investment and a lot of infrastructure.

650
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 20: Yes, it is.

651
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 15: It's about making New Zealand's energy supply more resilient, but

652
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 15: it's also about meeting the demands of a growing economy,

653
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 15: and we can see that growth coming in. So it

654
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 15: is very much a signal of confidence in the New

655
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 15: Zealand economy as it grows. Energy demand and economic growth

656
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 15: are inextricably linked.

657
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 2: How do you draw the line between what you're investing

658
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 2: when that comes online, whether you've gone too far along

659
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 2: with what everybody else has done versus is the growing economy,

660
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 2: because it's the known's interest, at least of your yours,

661
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:05,719
Speaker 2: to build too much stuff.

662
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 15: No, it is, well, first, the most important thing is

663
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 15: you build enough. No one wants to build too much

664
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 15: and have our sets sitting there doing nothing. But at

665
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 15: the moment, we can see that very strong demand growth

666
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 15: coming down as people convert from gas to electricity major industries.

667
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 15: We can see new industries coming in and that confidence,

668
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 15: and we can see households both being built but also

669
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 15: converting and so we can see at least three two

670
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 15: what hours by twenty thirty coming towards us, and that's

671
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 15: in a total demand of about forty so it's close

672
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 15: to ten percent in the next five years. So we

673
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 15: don't worry about building too much. The most important thing

674
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 15: is actually building the capability and capacity to be able

675
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 15: to build and not build too little.

676
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 2: You mentioned the gap the LNG play by the government.

677
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,479
Speaker 2: Does that help? And the report I read the other day,

678
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 2: the suggestion is that the damage was done people who

679
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 2: saw gases at the dead end and they've moved on

680
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 2: to other things. So is the gas solving anything energy?

681
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 15: It helps with a security of supply, and that actually

682
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 15: helps you build more intermittent So if you're building more

683
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 15: intermittent wind and solar, you need firm ways of firming

684
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 15: it when the wind doesn't buy and the sun doesn't shine.

685
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 15: So LERG is about just ensures you've got another stringier

686
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 15: bow when we have dry years. And in that respect,

687
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 15: it's a sensible idea.

688
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 2: It's a good idea, and I assume you've got no

689
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 2: problem raising half a billion dollars. There's plenty of money

690
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 2: out there for this sort of stuff.

691
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 15: It's always a privilege when you go out and you

692
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 15: get strong interests when you're raising money, and so yeah,

693
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 15: it's been a privilege over these last few days to

694
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 15: announce the capital raisin. The interest has been very positive

695
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 15: and we appreciate that good stuff.

696
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 2: All right, nice to talk to you. Mike Fushu's the

697
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 2: contact Energy boss. This morning, eleven minutes past seven passal

698
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 2: late matters retail showing signs of rude health. New survey

699
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 2: confidence at a two year high over three quarters seventy

700
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 2: six point seven percent to be precise, so they're confident

701
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 2: their business will survive in the next twelve months, up

702
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 2: from sixty five point five Also, first time since Q

703
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 2: one of twenty three more than fifty percent of retailers

704
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 2: met their sales target. So Carol and Young is the

705
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 2: Retail New Zealand CEO and as with us, Morning morning, Mike,

706
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 2: how are you. I'm extremely well. I remember the days

707
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 2: and it wasn't that long ago though dark COVID days,

708
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 2: when those sort of numbers, the seventy six was more

709
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 2: in the thirties and forties, no one knew whether anything

710
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 2: was going to last long. So things have turned around remarkably,

711
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 2: haven't they.

712
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 14: Yeah, Look, it's taken a while, hasn't it. You know,

713
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 14: last January we saw a five percent climb in card sales,

714
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 14: and this January is in a one point one percent

715
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 14: increase in card sales, So you know that that in

716
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 14: itself was another shift. It's another positive mood. We're off

717
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 14: a really low base, so you know, it's going to

718
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 14: take a while for business is to actually recover and

719
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 14: have some cash flow for you know, investing into the business.

720
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 14: But at least it's a sign that we're heading in

721
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 14: the right direction, which we've had a lot of talk

722
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 14: about that, haven't we. So good to see some data

723
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 14: that supports it.

724
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 2: The January spend yesterday was down a smidge. The suggestion

725
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 2: being is the direction of travel is solid. January might

726
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 2: be an outlier of feb and March will confirm that

727
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 2: we're actually on the right track. Is that the vibe

728
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 2: that you would get or not.

729
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 14: Yeah, Well, what we actually look as we actually look

730
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 14: at the actual cards been rather than the season the

731
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 14: adjusted and the actual cards been January on January was

732
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 14: up one point one percent for core retail, So that's

733
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 14: a good point versus the season adjusted, which smooths everything

734
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 14: out whereas, because retail is cyclical, retailers want to look

735
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 14: at exactly what did I do last January?

736
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 2: And am I better than that this January.

737
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 14: Rather than kind of looking at a smooth space. So yeah,

738
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 14: it was actually really positive news for us. And you know,

739
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 14: last January, you know, for example, Apperil in twenty twenty

740
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 14: five was down five percent, but actually this January, Peril

741
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 14: was at one point four percent, So you know, up

742
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 14: one point four off. A low of minus five is

743
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 14: not you know, you're not going to be singing all

744
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 14: the way to the bank, but at least you're heading

745
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 14: in the right direction. And retailers have told us that

746
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 14: they have lowered their level of stock, so they are

747
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 14: selling their stocks that they've got, but they have a

748
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 14: lot lower level based on the fact that you know,

749
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 14: demand has been so low.

750
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 2: Good good on you, Carol and us to catch up.

751
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,600

Speaker 2: one of his corporate dinners the other night, says place

755
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,399
Speaker 2: popping off. He says, everything's popping off at the moment

756
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 2: I don't have time to tell you what Tony Alexander

757
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 2: said about housing, but it's interesting, but I will get

758
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 2: to it. I need to talk about Lamb in a

Speaker 2: for our country, and UK remains one of the most

774
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 2: important and premier markets for our Lamb and Melanie Browns,

775
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 2: a Kibi chef in London, does a lot with Lamb

776
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 2: and as well as Melanie Morning Morning. Mike how are

777
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 2: you very well? Indeed, tell me about the quality story

778
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,760
Speaker 2: of New Zealand lamb versus your standard bog standard British

779
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 2: lamb versus Roman lamb or Albanian lamb or whatever other

780
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 2: lamb you can buy in London.

781
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 21: Oh, we don't have that long, but just a little

782
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 21: bit of a history on why New Zealand lands so

783
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 21: well received in the UK. There is such a wonderful

784
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 21: presence of New Zealand lamb over here. I think it

785
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 21: counts about fifteen percent of whatship from New Zealand. And

786
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 21: for me, it's that kind of mild, delicate flavor that

787
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 21: we get in New Zealand lamb that is very very

788
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 21: present and almost you know, when you look at the

789
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 21: UK lamb, it's a little bit more gameier, it's a

790
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:26,240
Speaker 21: little more richer, and that's all down to the beautiful

791
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 21: grass fed lamb that we receive from New Zealand.

792
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 2: Do you still have pushback from the British farmer in general?

793
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 9: A little bit?

794
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 21: You know, in the culinary world, we're very lucky to

795
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 21: be exposed to so many amazing producers and people from

796
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 21: New Zealand who are really pushing it in our environment

797
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:45,919
Speaker 21: over here.

798
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 9: So you know, we're very fortunate.

799
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 2: What do you pay for a leg of lamb in

800
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 2: Britain these days? I mean, obviously it depends on where

801
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 2: you are, but you know, just.

802
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 21: Generally, I mean, Mike, it's very different because we often

803
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 21: get some amazing beef and lamb on the supermarket shelves

804
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 21: over here via Sainsbury's, and you know, it's anywhere from

805
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 21: kind of fifteen to twenty five pounds for a good

806
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 21: leg of lamb over here. But then you know, when

807
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 21: we're in the restaurant, we're serving it in kind of

808
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 21: a culinary perspective. When we use it in different dishes

809
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 21: in a chef perspective.

810
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 9: You know, it's a little bit cheaper than that, I

811
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 9: can guarantee.

812
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,879
Speaker 2: See, there's something very prideful in being in London and

813
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 2: looking at a menu in a flesh restaurant and it

814
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 2: sees New Zealand lamb and that's done the same way

815
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 2: you go Italian cars, isn't it. It's got that cute loss.

816
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,720
Speaker 9: To it, it does.

817
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 21: I mean, we have to really thank the farmers and

818
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 21: the growers who have put so much integrity into the

819
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 21: soil to create this amazing product.

820
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,399
Speaker 9: And you know, It's consistent year after year.

821
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 21: Much like a lot of the other products we get

822
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 21: up here from New Zealand, including New Zealand wine. It

823
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 21: is a product that people, you know, they revert to regularly.

824
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 21: They know they're going to get consistency, they know they're

825
00:39:59,280 --> 00:39:59,919
Speaker 21: going to get quality.

826
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 2: You cannot beat the quality story. Melanie, nice to talk to.

827
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,720
Speaker 2: You appreciate it pretty much, Melanie Brown, who's into cooking

828
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 2: and cheffing and being just generally fabulous in that particular

829
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 2: part of the world. I was going to call them

830
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 2: chops chops, last cutlets, beautiful little cutlets. And I'm roasting

831
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 2: the cutlets at the moment, insteed of pen frying them.

832
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 2: And I'm thoroughly enjoying that. And when I say I'm

833
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:20,919
Speaker 2: doing that, I'm not doing any of that, of course,

834
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 2: but I enjoy them nevertheless. Seven twenty.

835
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio.

836
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 3: How of my news talks be.

837
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 17: Right?

838
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 2: If you're CEO focused on that profitability in a tough market,

839
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 2: you know how crucial it is to win that share

840
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 2: of tenders for the the RFPs, and winning means dedicating

841
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 2: scarce and valuable key executive time to that task. Now

842
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 2: you can't win them all, So how can you optimize

843
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 2: that high opportunity cost to the business. Well, one net

844
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 2: is your answer. They can help you win more of

845
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 2: your usual share of RFPs, and they take the pressure

846
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,439
Speaker 2: off your team, and they make more room for creative thinking,

847
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 2: and they grow your business for goodness sake. So one

848
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 2: Net's sister company, Grizzly AI, they've gone and got this built,

849
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,240
Speaker 2: actually the safe and secure software for the risk averse businesses,

850
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,879
Speaker 2: and that automates the tender and RFP response With AI

851
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 2: and Grizzly software means you can create winning proposals faster,

852
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 2: at a lower cost, much higher success rate. So you

853
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 2: think of the software as being both an RFP painkiller

854
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 2: and a profit builder. Who doesn't want that AI no

855
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 2: longer a competitive advantage, of course, it is now a necessity.

856
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 2: So if you need to grow your profit by winning

857
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 2: that new business, one net dot co dot MZ, one

858
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 2: net dot co dot inz complementary consultation to assess how

859
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 2: your business can win more RFPs with Grizzly. One net

860
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 2: plus Grizzly innovation leaders in cloud computing and AI. Asking

861
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 2: at seven twenty four My summation of what we have

862
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,879
Speaker 2: heard so far in the Judge Aiken case, the did

863
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,760
Speaker 2: I yell at in interrupted and disrupt Winston case. Aikin

864
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 2: was on the stand so to speak, yesterday, remembering none

865
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 2: of this is criminal, of course, In fact, I would

866
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 2: describe it as outrageously political. Judge Aikin shouldn't be there,

867
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 2: No one should. It's a storm in a judicial tea cup.

868
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 2: Should she have had a popp at Wins at the

869
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 2: Northern Club? Of course not. The incident, much disputed in

870
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 2: terms of angst, animosity and volume, shows the judge in

871
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 2: a very poor light. It was none of her business

872
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 2: and you don't go round running commentary on other people's evenings.

873
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 2: Then again, you don't go dobbing interlopers into the Attorney General,

874
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 2: which is what has happened, and next thing you know,

875
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 2: you have a legal circus where a person's career is

876
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 2: potentially about to be blown up. Also disturbing for me,

877
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 2: as the casual observer is the Chief District Court judge's

878
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 2: role in the apology that Judge Aken, he involved two

879
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 2: media advisers and amended Aikins's wording so it wouldn't offend

880
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,240
Speaker 2: new Zealand first. At all times, the chief Judge seemed

881
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 2: to be obsessed with not offending political parties. His overt

882
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 2: weakness worries me not to mention Jude Aikins's inability to

883
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 2: have her voice heard. I mean, she's not thirteen, she's

884
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 2: a judge. My sense of where we're at is we

885
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 2: will never get to know the full story because the

886
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 2: versions vary. Therefore the panel doing the deciding won't come

887
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 2: to a definitive conclusion. Therefore, whatever they put before Paul Goldsmith,

888
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:00,399
Speaker 2: the acting ag will go nowhere. So maybe what seeing

889
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 2: currently is the actual punishment. In other words, a judge,

890
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 2: her reputation, her drinking habits, which was covered yesterday, her

891
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 2: word all dissected is the punishment is the humiliation over all,

892
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,720
Speaker 2: the insight into the legal fraternity, not forgetting the good judges.

893
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 2: A celebrity doctor partner in the case on the video

894
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 2: last week does not come off reputationally well. I mean,

895
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 2: if you wanted to think of them broadly as a

896
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 2: bunch of champagne swilling, self serving snobs, they haven't done

897
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 2: a lot to dissuade us. But then you Zeeland first

898
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 2: look like a petty point Scory Losory group of nacs

899
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 2: who don't mind wrecking people's lives. Pasking the hearing continues,

900
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 2: pasking Mike seventy dollars for two point two kg leg

Speaker 2: of lamb new will Papakura last night. That's not bad going.

902
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 2: Is there any way to get the power companies back

903
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,879
Speaker 2: in government control? Was a totally predictable outcomforts to John

904
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 2: Key's legacy. They are in the government control. The government

905
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 2: owns a majority stake in three of the four gentailers.

906
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 2: Us try with the contact guy, but you'll get a

907
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 2: knighthood who can get anyone from Power, Compani's insurance, supermarkets,

908
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 2: et cetera, to admit that they're making increased profits at

909
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 2: the expense of all of us who are simply consumers

910
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 2: struggling to provide for our families. And then that is

911
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 2: the Rayale politique. I can mount a very cohesive and indeed,

912
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 2: in Mike fush a very cohesive case about investing in renewables,

913
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 2: about not getting stuck in the middle of winter like

914
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:25,320
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four with no resource and they are spending

915
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 2: good money on good stuff that will serve us well ultimately.

916
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 2: But if you don't want to believe that in election

917
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 2: year you won't. And so therefore that's the hard yards

918
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 2: of trying to convince people that spending money is actually wise.

919
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 2: Hamish ker had a very nice night last night. He

920
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 2: cleared two point one night, he won the Hellberg Award,

921
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 2: and so he's our supreme champion and we like supreme champion.

922
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 2: So we'll talk to him next.

923
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 3: No fluff, just facts and fierce debate.

924
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:59,279

Speaker 3: It feels very good.

936
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,879
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's it's obviously a great honor to be put

937
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,800
Speaker 7: on a huge trophy with a bunch of absolute you know,

938
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 7: Kiwi spoiling legends, So I'm really happy to be here and.

939
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 2: The night itself and the vibes and you know, rubbing

940
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 2: shoulders with legends and all that sort of always very uplifting,

941
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:38,800
Speaker 2: isn't it.

942
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 15: Oh, It's always amazing.

943
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 7: You know, as athletes, we spend our lives in our

944
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 7: little kind of worlds and do all our little things

945
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 7: that we do. And to be able to come, you know,

946
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 7: into a room like that and just see, you know,

947
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 7: what our our nation produces here on air and really

948
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 7: feel like there's an awesome kind of sporting buzz and

949
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 7: people are really getting behind it. It's really really exciting.

950
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 2: I asked this question to the nicest possible way in

951
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 2: your mind. In any way, shape or form, does it

952
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 2: legitimize your sport more than you had legitimized it previously.

953
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 7: Look, potentially it's another attack in the box, you know.

954
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 7: I think that, you know, globally, athletics is a relatively

955
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 7: big sport. It's it's not a football or or a

956
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 7: tennis or a golf, but it's it's pretty pretty well

957
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 7: known overseas, and I think that if I can bring

958
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 7: that kind of understanding and love back to the country,

959
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:33,280
Speaker 7: and it's at it as an event to what's already

960
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 7: mess in our country and the likes of running and

961
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 7: shot put and various other things. Yeah, I think it's

962
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 7: great because I think at the end of the day,

963
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 7: for me, it's you know, if there are kids out

964
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,399
Speaker 7: there who feel like now they want to be high

965
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 7: jumpers because of what I've done, I'm.

966
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 22: Really talked about that.

967
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 2: That was my next question. Have you made any sort

968
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 2: of assessment since your you know, real big success that

969
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 2: we talked about last time you were here, But have

970
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 2: you made any assessment of whether it's had a material

971
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 2: impact at school level that people look at you and

972
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 2: go I can do a bit of that.

973
00:46:59,320 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

974
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 7: I mean, look, I mean anecdotally, I feel like I

975
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 7: have so many people these days coming up and telling

976
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 7: me that their kids are really into high jump and

977
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:10,280
Speaker 7: into athletics, and I think that, you know, I've definitely

978
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 7: noticed that at sort of secondary school level and at

979
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 7: Colgate level, the participation numbers definitely look like the training

980
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 7: in the right direction. And so yeah, I think for me,

981
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,319
Speaker 7: I'm really stoked about that. But you know, if it's

982
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 7: any athletic event, I'm stoked. It doesn't have to be

983
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:25,879
Speaker 7: high jumped. There's an athletic event out there for everyone,

984
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 7: so it's yeah, it's been really cool seeing that kind

985
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,359
Speaker 7: of attitude shift towards people really wanting to get out

986
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:31,800
Speaker 7: there and doing it.

987
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 2: When was the first time that you jump the way

988
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 2: you jump? So when I was at school, you do

989
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 2: the scissors, then you do the Fosbury flop and all

990
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 2: that sort of stuff, right, And the only reason I

991
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 2: asked this weird question is because I'm watching the Winter

992
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:46,919
Speaker 2: Olympics at the moment, and so you see the ski jump. Also,

993
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 2: at some point you need to throw caution to the

994
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:53,359
Speaker 2: wind and go from your warm up to the real deal.

995
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:54,800
Speaker 2: When did you do that?

996
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 7: Well, the first time I tried doing the Fosbury flop,

997
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 7: which is the teaching I do now, was I think

998
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 7: it was probably year three, and no one taught me

999
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 7: how to do it. I just thought it would be

1000
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 7: funny to try it just at lunchtime at the local,

1001
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 7: you know, at my field and my primary school. And

1002
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 7: I actually smacked my knees, my nose and got a

1003
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 7: blood nose. So that was kind of a lesson in

1004
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 7: how not to do it, and and kind of every

1005
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 7: year from there, I've obviously got a wee bit better

1006
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 7: at it and haven't actually smacked my nose.

1007
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 2: Since, so you know, you know what I mean, nin't you,

1008
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 2: Because like it's a leap of faith at that point,

1009
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 2: literally and figuratively, I suppose. And of course the other

1010
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:34,320
Speaker 2: thing is landing on the neck and the patents that

1011
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 2: there's a risk there isn't there.

1012
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 7: It probably looks more like a rost than it is.

1013
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 7: But I think fundamentally, like you know, the theme here

1014
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 7: with with myself and the winter impacts and everything is

1015
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,320
Speaker 7: just the amazing coaches we've got in our country. You know,

1016
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 7: nothing was possible without them, and and that kind of

1017
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 7: very uncontrolled motion that we do is optimized by the

1018
00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 7: support of coaching staff and the people around us. So yeah,

1019
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 7: I think I think that's also sort of something that

1020
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:04,879
Speaker 7: I'm really stoked about. Was obviously my coach won Coach

1021
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 7: of the Year as well last night. Who's someone who's

1022
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 7: been instrumental in my success. So yeah, it's very cool

1023
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,359
Speaker 7: to heaven there and he's the one who makes sure

1024
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 7: that I don't land on my neck and doing anything

1025
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:15,360
Speaker 7: too bad for myself.

1026
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 2: What's twenty six Scott for you?

1027
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 7: It's got a bit of stuff. Comrade of Games is

1028
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,919
Speaker 7: obviously you know, coming up on the radar in July,

1029
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 7: and we've got a few other sort of decent sized

1030

Speaker 7: Good to hear you.

1038
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:48,879
Speaker 2: Hold on, Hay, which one quick question I forgot to ask,

1039
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:50,879
Speaker 2: did you get money when you won your.

1040
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 15: Middle Did I get made?

1041
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:55,359
Speaker 2: Not last night, but at the at the Olympics, did

1042
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:55,919
Speaker 2: you get money?

1043
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 7: Yes, yes I did.

1044
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 2: And who pays you that? The olymp Committee.

1045
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:06,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, so athletics, well word, athletics actually paid paid prize

1046
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 7: money to all the gold medalists and athletics and so

1047
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 7: that was the first time that's ever happened. And then

1048
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 7: obviously high performance sport as well fundings sort of tied

1049
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 7: in small paths to that success. So yeah, it's it's

1050
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 7: been Yeah, there's been money coming in from a few

1051
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 7: different places.

1052
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 2: Fantastic. The only the only reason is thanks. It nice

1053
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 2: to talk to your homemus. The only reason I ask.

1054
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 2: I'm reading an article at the moment about the money

1055
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 2: being handed out in Italy, which are in fact I'll

1056
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 2: do that now, hit me with one of those things pasking.

1057
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 2: So in Singapore at the Winter Olympics is paying more

1058
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:44,840
Speaker 2: money than anybody. Twenty nine hundred athletes, ninety national committees,

1059
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixteen medal events, eight sports. If you

1060
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 2: win a gold medal and individual gold medal as a

1061

1065
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 2: gold gets two hundred and eleven thousand dollars. But that's

1066
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 2: made up of stuff. You get a Toyota Corolla, a

1067
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 2: fully furnished two bedroom apartment, a painting, a holiday voucher,

1068
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 2: and some jewelry, so that could be really good or

1069
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,919
Speaker 2: else it could be really crap. Paintings and jewelry also

1070
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 2: part of the silver and bronze. Italy they'll give you

1071

00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 2: The United States of America gives you thirty seven thousand,

1075
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 2: measly American bucks for winning gold. What does that tell

1076
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 2: you about the state of the place at the moment?

1077
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 2: And New Zealand pays three.

1078
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 18: Three million.

1079
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:07,760
Speaker 2: Well, if you are comparing it to you know, paysos maybe,

1080
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,879
Speaker 2: but no, no painting. There's no painting, there's no flat,

1081
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 2: there's no Toyota Corolla.

1082
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 18: If you can you get to choose the painting or avery.

1083
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 2: No, I think there's a Polish store of It's like

1084
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:19,799
Speaker 2: a government owned locker.

1085
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:21,879
Speaker 18: Because because if if I got to choose, I'd say,

1086
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 18: can I have a portrait of me wearing the jewelry

1087
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 18: driving the Corolla?

1088
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 2: Do you know what I discovered? Lowry? I'd ask for

1089
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:30,880
Speaker 2: a lowry, you know, lowry painting. I'd go, can I

1090
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 2: have a Lowry? And the no, there's no lowry in

1091
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 2: the Polish anyway. I think I might have just lost

1092
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 2: the plot there seven forty five.

1093

Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered

1094
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 1: by News Talks. It'd be.

1095
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 2: Is it without sounding like a snob? Is there's a

1096
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 2: line there between? So three thousand dollars for winning a

1097
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 2: gold medal? Is there a line there where it becomes insulting?

1098
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,760
Speaker 2: I mean it's three dollars. I mean, for God's sake, honestly,

1099
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,840
Speaker 2: you've got You've dedicated your entire life, and I mean

1100
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,320
Speaker 2: that's your choice obviously, and you're representing New Zealand and

1101
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 2: all of that's fun. And I thought the Olympics was

1102
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 2: kind of an amateur sort of event, but I mean

1103
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 2: that got blown under the water years ago. But you

1104
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 2: go and for that moment you are the greatest in

1105
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 2: the world. And they somebody goes, hey, Mike, well done.

1106
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:20,359
Speaker 2: Three grand? An you think?

1107
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 20: I mean?

1108
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 2: I mean, it's like a voucher for nol leaming, isn't it.

1109
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,439
Speaker 2: It's like, come on, I either pay some decent money

1110
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:29,360
Speaker 2: or don't pay it or what would it be? You

1111
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 2: need tens off? Wouldn't you? Is that fair? Tens off?

1112
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:34,920
Speaker 2: Speaking of art, By the way, I mentioned Larry a

1113
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 2: moment ago. If I could just recommend Brett Whitely if

1114
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,400
Speaker 2: you're into art. There's a thing I discovered purely by

1115
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 2: accident on Netflix at the moment about Brett Whiteley, who's

1116
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,320
Speaker 2: probably they described him as Australia's greatest ever artist. I

1117
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 2: wouldn't have thought that's the case at all, but never

1118
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 2: I mean, you put Nolan up there surely anyway. But

1119
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:54,280
Speaker 2: the point is he's a modern artist, killed himself, drug addict,

1120
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 2: all that stuff, and he was well, he wasn't, but

1121
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 2: his paintings were involved in the biggest piece of art

1122
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:03,319
Speaker 2: fraud in modern Australian history, and it went to court

1123
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 2: and it's the documentary of that story two parter, absolutely gripping.

1124
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 2: If you want to watch something that's associated with that,

1125
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 2: and you've got yourself. Netflix quickly on Tony Alexander, because

1126
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 2: I promised to do that, and as usual I've sort

1127
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,280
Speaker 2: of lost a train of what's going on. Only eighteen

1128
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 2: percent of agents Tony Alexander in one roof while worth reading,

1129
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,879
Speaker 2: always only eighteen percent of agency does these surveys. Only

1130
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 2: eighteen percent of agents reported seeing fomo, which is down

1131
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 2: from twenty six averages twenty nine, So there's not much

1132
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 2: fomo in the market at the moment, first time buyers

1133
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,840
Speaker 2: very active sixty two percent, seeing more young buars averages

1134
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 2: twenty three, so sixty two v. Twenty three. Not many

1135
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,719
Speaker 2: investors about the place at the moment, so good news

1136
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 2: for the young buyers. So that's encouraging. Big jump of

1137
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 2: the percentage of agents who say buyers are worried about

1138
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:52,800
Speaker 2: the interest rates. Now that's coming tomorrow. There will be

1139
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:55,880
Speaker 2: no change tomorrow, but doctor Anna is going to come

1140
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 2: forth and she is going to wax lyrical about her

1141
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 2: view of the New Zealand economy. So we're a bit

1142
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 2: concerned about that. So that's Tony Alexander's view on the housing.

1143
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 2: But we'll have more on the Reserve Bank for you

1144
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 2: and the housing market and the economy in general tomorrow

1145
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:12,320
Speaker 2: on the program ten to Wait.

1147
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 2: Away from a new study on intimited fasting, Researchers of

1148
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 2: analyzed twenty two global trials found no clear advantage over

1149
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 2: standard dietary advice. Weight loss was broadly similar to traditional dieting,

1150
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:30,719
Speaker 2: with no strong evidence of extra metabolic benefits. Now alex

1151

Speaker 2: Flint is the founder of Body Talk germ and is

1152
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 2: with us. Alex morning, Very good morning. See Mike, would

1153
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 2: you have said this before the study or not?

1154
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 23: Yeah, I definitely would. I think it's one of those

1155
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:45,439
Speaker 23: things that in the game and nutritionness, gem owners, etc.

1156
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:49,439
Speaker 23: Know that we aren't overweight because we eat at breakfast time.

1157
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 23: We're simply overweight because we're eating too much over twenty

1158
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:52,800
Speaker 23: four hours.

1159
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 20: See.

1160
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 2: I argue, it depends on whether you're doing it for weight.

1161
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 22: See.

1162
00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:00,080
Speaker 2: I'm an intimittent faster, but I don't think i'd do

1163
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 2: it for weight. I do it to you know, it

1164
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 2: helps the body, and you know, you give it a

1165
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:04,920
Speaker 2: rest and all that sort of stuff. So it depends

1166
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 2: on why you're doing it or what you're looking at,

1167
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 2: doesn't it.

1168
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 23: Yeah, it does, Mike. There's been some really interesting studies

1169
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 23: in those areas where they have put people into different groups,

1170
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 23: so a fasting group, a group that just does regular

1171
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:21,319
Speaker 23: old calorie restrictions, so they eat normal meals, but they're

1172
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 23: just reducing their calories. And what we see over a

1173
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 23: longer periods of time, so we're talking twelve months plus,

1174
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 23: there is very very little difference in the outcome. So

1175
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 23: when we look at things like metabolic markers, inflammation, our

1176
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:37,759
Speaker 23: blood sugar, our blood pressure, our heart rates. There really

1177
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 23: doesn't exist any differences between the two groups. So I

1178
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 23: think what we've found is that with in the mint

1179
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 23: of fasting in particular, it's a really good way of

1180
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:52,760
Speaker 23: portion control, but with a much better marketing department.

1181
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, so where did it come from and why did

1182
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:57,399
Speaker 2: it take off? Then if it doesn't work?

1183
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:02,320
Speaker 23: So obviously fasting has been is something that's been around

1184
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 23: for hundreds of probably not thousands of years. You know,

1185
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 23: we've had tibet months all the way through the modern

1186
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 23: day influences you'd say using fasting, and it definitely does

1187
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 23: have metabolic effects which.

1188
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 2: You know are favorable.

1189
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 15: However, what we've found.

1190
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 23: Is that when it comes down to it, it really

1191
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 23: does come down to fat loss is the reason why

1192
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 23: we get these improved health outcomes, and that really matters

1193
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 23: on what we're eating over the long term. So if

1194
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 23: you can stick to in a minute fasting, it's a

1195
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 23: fantastic tool for you, but it's not a talisman. It's

1196
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 23: just something something which is not superior to regular calorie

1197
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 23: control methods and eating patterns.

1198
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 2: Right, have you got a view on glp ones in general.

1199
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,440
Speaker 23: Yeah, I think you know, Mike, When it comes down

1200
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 23: to it, for a lot of people, the issue is

1201
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 23: it's habits and behavior and long term ingrained issues, which

1202
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 23: glp ones are something which are are really helping. What

1203
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 23: they largely do is quite in the food noise in

1204
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 23: people's minds. So, you know, for a lot of people

1205
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 23: that have trouble over eating, it's just the fact that

1206
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 23: food is consistently on their mind. Glp ones are something

1207
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 23: which helped to just calm the noise, you know, make

1208
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 23: intent less about food overall. So they've definitely got their

1209
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 23: place and they're going to grow in popularity and use

1210
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:21,959
Speaker 23: over the next short while.

1211
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:24,880

Speaker 2: and television they go hand in hand, really, don't they.

1231
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 2: Melissa Leong was judged for four seasons there. She went

1232
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 2: on to host Dessert Masters. Now a new program called

1233
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 2: Taste of Art. Ten New Zealand chips compete in an

1234
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 2: elimination event, creating visually stunning third It starts this Thursday.

1235
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 2: I'll give you more details shortly meantime. Others of Leong's

1236
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 2: with us, Good morning.

1237
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 3: Good morning, how are you look.

1238
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 2: I'm very well. Indeed, is it as they say in

1239
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 2: the industry, in the can have you seen it?

1240
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 16: It is in the can.

1241
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 22: It's been in the can so quite some time. We

1242
00:59:55,000 --> 01:00:00,560
Speaker 22: shot it Taste of Art around ski season last year,

1243
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 22: so it was beautiful to drive to work and all

1244
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 22: of the rest of it to see the remarkables. But yes,

1245
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 22: it's done.

1246
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 16: Have I seen it?

1247
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 22: No, I don't really tend to watch my work back

1248
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 22: because I was there the first time.

1249
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 2: Any reasons for that?

1250
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 22: I think for me, I give one hundred percent of

1251
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 22: my presence and you know, all of my skills on

1252
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 22: the day, and then I just need to keep moving.

1253
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 22: I don't tend to, you know, want to dwell on

1254
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 22: it any more than that. And all of the rest

1255
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 22: of the amazing production, you know, in terms of post production,

1256
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 22: they do their thing and then it's one big team

1257
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 22: effort at the end of the day. But no, I

1258
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:39,479
Speaker 22: don't tend to go back and watch my work.

1259
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 2: Now. Now, your co host, Vaughn, maybe he gets coverage

1260
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 2: in this country, and rightly so because he's brilliant. Brilliant chef,

1261
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 2: isn't he?

1262
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 22: De Vaughn is an absolute delight to work with. He

1263
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 22: is someone who knows exactly who he is, is not

1264
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:57,480
Speaker 22: afraid to be ambitious, but is also someone who remains

1265
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 22: really grounded through his work as well. So when I

1266
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 22: was there, I was able to fortunate enough to have

1267
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 22: a couple of meals at Amasfield and really see the

1268
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 22: way that you know, he has a line in the

1269
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:11,959
Speaker 22: sand about the way that he wants to present food

1270
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 22: and the way that it needs to be wild caught

1271
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 22: or harvested in that way, and you just see that

1272
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 22: level of integrity both in his cuisine and in the

1273
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 22: way that he conducts himself as a human. And he's

1274
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 22: terrifyingly funny to boot, which is always a plus.

1275
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 2: And would you describe what he does at Amersfield from

1276
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 2: what you saw as world class?

1277
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:36,960
Speaker 22: I absolutely would. I think that Alta should be very

1278
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 22: proud of what it is that he has produced and

1279
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:44,480
Speaker 22: the fact that he is contributed to because of course

1280
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:48,440
Speaker 22: there are so many tremendously talented chefs in your country,

1281
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 22: but he really has contributed to shining the spotlight on

1282
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 22: Pacific pacifica cuisine and just showing the caliber of what

1283
01:01:57,880 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 22: is possible in this part of the world.

1284
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 2: I think that's all I asked that question. By the way,

1285
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:03,480
Speaker 2: you know, not because you've worked with them and all

1286
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 2: of that, but you're in Melbourne. You live in Melbourne.

1287
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 2: Melbourne is your culinary home for Australia and we talk

1288
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 2: a lot about HOSPOW in this country, HOSPOW in general

1289
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 2: over the past several years, and you're part of the

1290
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 2: world in terms of success and imagination. Where's it at.

1291
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 22: I think that HOSPO over the last couple of years

1292
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 22: is there's a reckoning, to be sure. I think it

1293
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 22: would be remissive me not to kind of touch on

1294
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:32,560
Speaker 22: some of the realities of what has been swept under

1295
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 22: the carpet for quite some time. So there's that part

1296
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 22: of hospitality. I guess the diners don't necessarily get to

1297
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 22: see in terms of the way that staff are treated,

1298
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 22: certain behaviors that have been allowed to happen for quite

1299
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:47,240
Speaker 22: a long time. But in terms of the dining side

1300
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 22: of things, you know, there is a constant refinement of

1301
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 22: what's going on, but also just an increased amount of

1302
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:57,880
Speaker 22: personalization across the boards. So instead of seeing places that

1303
01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 22: just try to replicate others success, we're seeing a lot

1304
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 22: more of a personal story. You know, Regionally specific cuisines

1305
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:11,200
Speaker 22: are really being celebrated, which is awesome as well, and

1306
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 22: just telling stories and connecting with diners through the way

1307
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 22: that they interpret cuisine. I think that's really cool.

1308
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:18,440
Speaker 20: Yeah.

1309
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 2: One of the great debates we have in this country

1310
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 2: about hospital is all the closures and high churn. In

1311
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 2: other words, do you see that in Melbourne and Australia

1312
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:26,200
Speaker 2: in general.

1313
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 22: Absolutely. You know, there have been times when the bubblers

1314
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:31,920
Speaker 22: burst and there have been more restaurants and diners can

1315
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 22: can cater for. And the same goes with staffing as well.

1316
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 22: So you see a lot of shifting going on, and

1317
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 22: it is the EBB and the flow of hospitality. Not

1318
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:43,680
Speaker 22: all rest like restaurants, never open up expecting to never close.

1319
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:46,600
Speaker 22: There is a life cycle to the way that restaurants run.

1320
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 22: Some of them have a longer life cycles than others.

1321
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 22: But I think in the closure of restaurants, as sad

1322
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 22: as that can sometimes be, it also leaves an opening

1323
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 22: and an opportunity for the landscape to continue to move

1324
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 22: along as well. And so I think we just kind

1325
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:05,520
Speaker 22: of need to see it as a bittersweet matter of fact, the.

1326
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:09,440
Speaker 2: Food TV taste about the food TV thing generally seems

1327
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 2: to be beating the overall. I don't know that the

1328
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 2: idea that linear television is in some sort of trouble.

1329
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 2: We love that we seem to love food and television.

1330
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 2: Is it a magnet.

1331
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:22,680
Speaker 22: Well, first, we think that the evolution of the way

1332
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 22: that we consume media and we consume content, we just

1333
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:28,560
Speaker 22: have to accept that that's a reality, and with that

1334
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 22: comes a few growing pains as well. So the ways

1335
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 22: that we measured success in the past aren't necessarily the

1336
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:38,439
Speaker 22: same now, just in the same way that the way

1337
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:41,400
Speaker 22: we watch content is very very different as well. But

1338
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 22: I think what's wonderful about food related shows is that

1339
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:50,760
Speaker 22: we always come back to human connection. You know, the

1340
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 22: stories that food allow us to tell about culture, about

1341
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 22: time and place and connection. All of these things are

1342
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:01,600
Speaker 22: just so very enduringly human and we are always going

1343
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 22: to find that compelling. So whether or not we're looking

1344
01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 22: at you know, shows like Master Chef that are about

1345
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:12,680
Speaker 22: heroing humble, homegrown cooks and recipes, or we're looking at

1346
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 22: something like Taste of Art, where it's about defying imagination

1347
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:22,080
Speaker 22: then really showing us what is possible when you ask

1348
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 22: really creative professionals to push the boat out. There's something

1349
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:29,880
Speaker 22: in it for everyone, which is creative expression. Being able

1350
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:31,760
Speaker 22: to share a little bit a little part of who

1351
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 22: they are in the.

1352
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:35,120
Speaker 2: Form of food. Melissa hold on, We'll come back from

Speaker 2: starts Thursday ilicitly On is one of the judges, one

1359
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:54,040
Speaker 2: of the hosts, and and is with us from Melbourne.

1360
01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 2: What do you reckon? I want to know what do

1361
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 2: you reckon? The audiences for these shows these days? You know,

1362
01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:59,680
Speaker 2: because it's sort of this great dilimma and food is

1363
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 2: actually most of us eat crap, so guilty. But then

1364
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 2: you've got these geniuses, you know, when you put them

1365
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 2: in the kitchen, it's sort of are we two different societies?

1366
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:10,720
Speaker 2: Or the people eating the crep? Just like observing the

1367
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 2: geniuses and the kitchen, do you reckon?

1368
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 22: I think that we have access to all kinds of food,

1369
01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 22: and I think that all of us, no matter where

1370
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:19,640
Speaker 22: we come from, all what our bank balance looks like,

1371
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:22,920
Speaker 22: we need to come back to honoring the simplicity of

1372
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:26,640
Speaker 22: real food. And obviously learning how to cook does take

1373
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:30,160
Speaker 22: skill and commitment. But I think that when you learn

1374
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:32,400
Speaker 22: how to produce your own food, you do tend to

1375
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:36,240
Speaker 22: eat a little bit better, and the simplest of foods

1376
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:38,480
Speaker 22: are able to give us all the nutrition that we need.

1377
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 22: I think when you're looking at really fine dining in

1378
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:44,920
Speaker 22: that regards, that's sort of you know, that's a special

1379
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 22: occasion thing, that's something that you should not be part

1380
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 22: of you every day because you know, it is really

1381
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 22: rich food. A lot of the time, there's a lot

1382
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:55,000
Speaker 22: of there's a lot of richness and a lot of

1383
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:57,680
Speaker 22: you know, sort of specialty ingredients that go into producing

1384
01:06:57,720 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 22: food like that too, and that can also not be

1385
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 22: super great for you if you ate it on a

1386
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 22: very regular basis as well. So I think you know,

1387
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 22: whether or not we're talking about junk food or fine dining,

1388
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 22: that's not everyday food. We should be focusing on much

1389
01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:13,240
Speaker 22: more simple food that we can produce ourselves, and that

1390
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 22: allows us to enjoy those occasional foods in a little

1391
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:18,440
Speaker 22: bit more moderation.

1392
01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 8: Do you reckon?

1393
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:20,600
Speaker 2: There's still a good number of people out there in

1394
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 2: New Zealand and Australia who know how to cook. We're

1395
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:25,680
Speaker 2: taught how to cook, know what a fry pan is

1396
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:29,040
Speaker 2: and will you spend their life cooking as opposed to

1397
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 2: relying on uber I.

1398
01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 22: Think that there is always the danger of losing skill

1399
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 22: to convenience. But there are so many people out there,

1400
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:41,600
Speaker 22: so many families, and so many cultural backgrounds that where

1401
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:46,480
Speaker 22: the emphasis is on preserving recipes, preserving the stories that

1402
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:49,200
Speaker 22: come with keeping those recipes alive. And I don't think

1403
01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:51,440
Speaker 22: that will ever die as long as humans are around.

1404
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 22: It's the way that we always find ways to tell

1405
01:07:56,120 --> 01:08:00,600
Speaker 22: stories and to explain our purpose and our past life.

1406
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:03,640
Speaker 22: And I think that recipes help us do that, and

1407
01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 22: that's why they are passed down from family to family.

1408
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:09,120
Speaker 22: So I would love to believe that we never lose

1409
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:12,160
Speaker 22: that as long as there are frypants and produce around.

1410
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 2: Now here's a fun thing. I didn't know this about you.

1411
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 2: You co host for UFC. Is that true?

1412
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:24,240
Speaker 22: I have done some work in the UFC space, interviewing

1413
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 22: MMA fighters usually post ceremonial way ins just before just

1414
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:31,439
Speaker 22: before fights for the UFC.

1415
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:31,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1416
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:35,040
Speaker 2: Wow, So you're in the kitchen, in the ring, in

1417
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:36,600
Speaker 2: the you know what do they call it?

1418
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:37,960
Speaker 22: Yeah?

1419
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:40,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, the octagon. I mean that's diversity.

1420
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:43,880
Speaker 22: Yeah, well, I mean it's fun, isn't it. I think

1421
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:46,640
Speaker 22: that we forget that we can all be really multifaceted

1422
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:48,640
Speaker 22: human beings. And I kind of take a little bit

1423
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:52,200
Speaker 22: of joy in people being surprised by the other things

1424
01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 22: that I might be interested in and hopefully good at

1425
01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:58,880
Speaker 22: as well. So mma is something that I find really

1426
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:01,760
Speaker 22: interesting to watch, and I really want to know what

1427
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:04,799
Speaker 22: the passion and the purpose is to making people fearless

1428
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:08,160
Speaker 22: enough to get into the octagon and fight. Martial arts

1429
01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 22: is something that I've grown up with and I continue

1430
01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:15,640
Speaker 22: to do. So it's something that's, yeah, not everybody knows

1431
01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 22: about because it hasn't been part of my professional life

1432
01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 22: for a very long time. But I do enjoy it.

1433
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 2: And yeah, we're big fans about a sign you for

1434
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:25,400
Speaker 2: obvious reasons.

1435
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:28,800
Speaker 22: Oh Isy, what a legend. I interviewed him actually for

1436
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:30,759
Speaker 22: Fox Sports in Australia.

1437
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:34,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a delight and sort of a self driven

1438
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 2: force of nature, of course, And yet I got to

1439
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:40,559
Speaker 2: tell you, in that ring, it's all blood and it's

1440
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 2: all on, and it's a close line to be too much,

1441
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:44,639
Speaker 2: don't you reckon?

1442
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 22: I don't know about that. I think that every fighter

1443
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 22: steps into the cage or the octagon, fully prepared for

1444
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 22: what might happen to them, and they know that that's

1445
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:57,800
Speaker 22: what martial arts is. I think that we forget that.

1446
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:02,240
Speaker 22: You know, Marshal art have been with humanity since humanity

1447
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:05,240
Speaker 22: ever existed. You know, the first Olympics had wrestling and boxing,

1448
01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:07,800
Speaker 22: So it is part of who we are to have

1449
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 22: that domineering fighting spirit, and you do need to set

1450
01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:13,880
Speaker 22: aside certain parts of yourself in order to perform on

1451
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:17,080
Speaker 22: the world stage in that regard. But I think is

1452
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:19,600
Speaker 22: he always does it in a way that shows a

1453
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:23,360
Speaker 22: sense of respect for his opponent, a sense of respect

1454
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:26,799
Speaker 22: for the history that goes into everything that he's learned technique,

1455
01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 22: and also just a really high fight IQ as well.

1456
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:32,120
Speaker 22: I really have a lot of respect for him and

1457
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:33,240
Speaker 22: love watching him fight.

1458
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:36,640
Speaker 2: Absolutely, he's awesome. Now, as for the taste of art,

1459
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:40,120
Speaker 2: is it a hit? Is this series two, three, four, five, six,

1460
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:40,599
Speaker 2: and seven?

1461
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:43,400
Speaker 22: You know what? It felt really really good to make

1462
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:46,519
Speaker 22: a lot of fun and a lot of compelling watching

1463
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:50,000
Speaker 22: for the viewer. It's not just about obviously what I

1464
01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 22: can taste that, it's a way that the viewers will

1465
01:10:52,439 --> 01:10:54,720
Speaker 22: consume the show as well. I've been part of some

1466
01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:58,639
Speaker 22: really spectacularly successful shows and food, and this felt exactly

1467
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:01,760
Speaker 22: like that in terms of what's to come next.

1468
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 1: Who knows.

1469
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:06,360
Speaker 22: That's not My's not part of my remiss, but I'm

1470
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 22: definitely hopeful I get to come back and spend a

1471
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:09,559
Speaker 22: bit more time out at or Well.

1472
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:12,000
Speaker 2: We wish you all the very best, delightful to talk

1473
01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:12,920
Speaker 2: with you appreciate it.

1474
01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:14,679

Speaker 1: My Costing Breakfast with Vida, Retirement, Communities News, togs Head b.

1479
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:32,679
Speaker 2: Now here's a situation. A lot of families quietly wrestled

1480
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:34,800
Speaker 2: with you know, you got mom and dad. They're not

1481
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:37,439
Speaker 2: hearing properly any more. Conversation a little bit harder. Family

1482
01:11:37,479 --> 01:11:40,280
Speaker 2: gathering's a but tiring. You see them drifting out of

1483
01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:42,200
Speaker 2: the room even when they're sitting right there. And often

1484
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:44,240
Speaker 2: the sticking point isn't whether to help, it's the cost.

1485
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:47,200
Speaker 2: The cost is the killer. So traditional hearing care, helping

1486
01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:49,960
Speaker 2: a parent usually means forking out thousands of dollars up front.

1487
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 2: For those hearing aids, Now it often means no one

1488
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 2: does anything because the cost feels overwhelming. So this is

1489
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:57,879
Speaker 2: where Resonate Health comes and they change that equation completely.

1490
01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:00,560
Speaker 2: Instead of a large one off payment, in care is

1491
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 2: available for ninety dollars a month, which includes top of

1492
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:07,839
Speaker 2: the range hearing aids, ongoing professional care, future technology upgrades.

1493
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:10,280
Speaker 2: And here is where it really makes sense for the

1494
01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:13,160
Speaker 2: families that monthly cost can be shared. You see split

1495
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:15,479
Speaker 2: between the siblings. Suddenly you're talking about a small amount

1496
01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:17,560
Speaker 2: each month to help mum and dad stay connected and

1497
01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:19,439
Speaker 2: confident in part of the family life. So that's an

1498
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 2: investment worth making. So if you're thinking about how you

1499
01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:25,120
Speaker 2: can help a loved one to hear properly again eight

1505
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:46,320
Speaker 2: this morning it was it just me yesterday Obama in

1506
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:49,400
Speaker 2: that podcast thing. Did the number of people in the

1507
01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:52,679
Speaker 2: media who took that seriously? I cannot believe the guy

1508
01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:56,000
Speaker 2: was joking and he was not only joking about UFOs.

1509
01:12:56,520 --> 01:13:00,200
Speaker 2: He was obviously joking about UFOs, and yet yesterday, if

1510
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:04,280
Speaker 2: you look at certain outlets, no names mentioned. In fact,

1511
01:13:04,320 --> 01:13:06,559
Speaker 2: Ryan was taking it seriously this morning as well. Ryan

1512
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:09,200
Speaker 2: was absolutely convinced it was serious. I said, he's joking,

1513
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:12,040
Speaker 2: goes on, I don't. I think he's very serious, and

1514
01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:15,800
Speaker 2: he's it's so joking. He's had to clarify it this morning,

1515
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:21,080
Speaker 2: just saying, in case you took me seriously, I was joking.

1516
01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:23,599
Speaker 18: It's like the Rubio Speci thing that you've been referring

1517
01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:25,679
Speaker 18: to the last couple of days. It's like everybody looks

1518
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:27,080
Speaker 18: at everything a different way, and.

1519
01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 2: I know it's like sometimes you can try and be

1520
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:31,240
Speaker 2: funny and everyone just look.

1521
01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 18: He believes in some people out there think that you

1522
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:35,519
Speaker 18: actually like country music and it's.

1523

Speaker 2: out all the but they paid attention to it yesterday

1531
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:05,720
Speaker 2: because they made a couple of reasonably bold statements. Not

1532
01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 2: that it would be I'll be fascination to us unless

1533
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:11,439
Speaker 2: you're leaving New Zealand for Australia, of course, but there

1534
01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:14,719
Speaker 2: is one thing in their round tax that we should

1535
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:16,600
Speaker 2: be paying note of, and I'll come back to that

1536
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 2: in just a couple of moments. Big backdown for Starma

1537
01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:21,800
Speaker 2: starts the week still as Prime Minister, as I said

1538
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:23,280
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the program, which is no mean

1539
01:14:23,320 --> 01:14:26,160
Speaker 2: feet given his circumstances at the moment, but a massive

1540
01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:29,519
Speaker 2: back down on the polling and the local body elections.

1541
01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:33,080
Speaker 2: And they had abandoned a number of local body elections

1542
01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:35,920
Speaker 2: under the guise that the local bodies weren't ready, so

1543
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:39,160
Speaker 2: we weren't going to need elections this year. Nigel thought

1544
01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:40,519
Speaker 2: about that and did something about it.

1545
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:41,120
Speaker 3: This year.

1546
01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 19: Up to thirty councils, four point six million people denied

1547
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:48,759
Speaker 19: the vote. In some cases Norfolk, Suffolk, East and West Sussex.

1548
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:51,280
Speaker 19: This would have been the second year in a row

1549
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:54,000
Speaker 19: that people are paying their council tax would have been

1550
01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:57,040
Speaker 19: denied the chance to vote. It's a victory for reform,

1551
01:14:57,360 --> 01:15:00,719
Speaker 19: but more importantly it's a victory for democracy in this country.

1552
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:06,479
Speaker 17: International correspondence with Insie Eye Insurance Peace of Mind for

1553
01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:07,720
Speaker 17: New Zealand business.

1554
01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:12,120
Speaker 20: In the UK run morning to you, Yeah, good morning.

1555
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:15,880
Speaker 20: This was quite a victory for both Farage and for

1556
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:19,160
Speaker 20: the Daily Telegraph, which has also been running a campaign

1557
01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:21,800
Speaker 20: every day of the week for the past couple of

1558
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:27,160
Speaker 20: months about about what was what the Labor government was

1559
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:31,439
Speaker 20: running and so your listeners known. The government said it

1560
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:35,719
Speaker 20: wasn't it that was delaying the council elections. It handed

1561
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:39,519
Speaker 20: over the jurisdiction as to whether they should be delayed

1562
01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:44,080
Speaker 20: to the local councilors, who of course wanted them delayed

1563
01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:48,440
Speaker 20: because they're sits rup for grabs. So it was an absurdity.

1564
01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:53,840
Speaker 20: And I interviewed on Saturday on My Times radio show

1565
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:57,880
Speaker 20: the chairman of the Electoral Commission, and I don't know

1566
01:15:57,920 --> 01:16:00,800
Speaker 20: if you know the Electual Commission. They they usually just

1567
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:04,160
Speaker 20: say yes, everything is very good, everything is fine. It's

1568
01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:07,519
Speaker 20: one of those quangos which never does anything you might think.

1569
01:16:08,200 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 20: But they were ranting about it. They were saying this

1570
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:12,640
Speaker 20: shouldn't happen. It is totally unacceptable.

1571
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:15,599
Speaker 2: No, I'm so pleased at hers because when you look

1572
01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:18,240
Speaker 2: at these things from such a distance, I thought, how

1573
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:20,519
Speaker 2: is it that Britain isn't up in arms over this?

1574
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:22,720
Speaker 2: And I mean you talk about Georgia and America and

1575
01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:26,240
Speaker 2: Trump and all that sort of stuff. When you're delaying elections,

1576
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:29,800
Speaker 2: you're denying democracy in a country that still purports to

1577
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:32,559
Speaker 2: be a democracy. So is this egg on Starmer's face

1578
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:34,679
Speaker 2: or has he distanced himself enough do you think?

1579
01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:39,479
Speaker 20: No, it's massive egg on Starmer's face. And yeah, you're

1580
01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:43,080
Speaker 20: quite right, of course. May I mean if this had

1581
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:44,760
Speaker 20: been the right that had done it, there would have

1582
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:48,360
Speaker 20: been howls of fascism and people marching in the street.

1583
01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:52,559
Speaker 20: You know, why wasn't there more of an outcry about it? Well,

1584
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:55,760
Speaker 20: some of us wrote about it quite often. But just

1585
01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:58,000
Speaker 20: wait till the elections take place and there's a twenty

1586
01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:03,200
Speaker 20: percent turnout. You know, it's hard to argue that the

1587
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:06,639
Speaker 20: population is gagging from all democracy.

1588
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:09,800
Speaker 2: As far as the as far as Starma goes, still

1589
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:13,240
Speaker 2: Monday your time? Is the leadership still in trouble? Is

1590
01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:16,240
Speaker 2: Doyle still about? Is there still enough about for this

1591
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:18,080
Speaker 2: to be a conversation into another week.

1592
01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:22,280
Speaker 20: It's very odd. You see, I've always thought that the

1593
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:28,240
Speaker 20: Doyle story was miner, but talking again on Saturday to someone,

1594
01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:30,320
Speaker 20: they thought it was more serious of the Mandelson story

1595
01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:36,000
Speaker 20: because this was directly about Starman's judgment immediately and because

1596
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:39,720
Speaker 20: he knew that Doyle had been supporting this convicted sex

1597
01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:43,640
Speaker 20: best It's still around and there are more problems that

1598
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:47,000
Speaker 20: are still around it. It looks as if the Labor

1599
01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:50,560
Speaker 20: Party is now trying to coalesce around John Healey, the

1600
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:54,320
Speaker 20: Defense Secretary is a possible stalking course or a runner

1601
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:59,880
Speaker 20: against against Starmer. This is because none of the others

1602
01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:03,040
Speaker 20: our suitable candidates, you know, and Andy Burnham can't do

1603
01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:06,400
Speaker 20: it because it's not an MP. So the problems continue.

1604
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:11,479
Speaker 2: Speaking of Healey, this defense thing once again, is this

1605
01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:14,000
Speaker 2: a distraction? Where is it coming from? And the announcement

1606
01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:16,599
Speaker 2: being that we're going to you know, yet again boost

1607
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:18,720
Speaker 2: de fense spending is all that real? Is all that

1608
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:19,400
Speaker 2: going to happen?

1609
01:18:21,320 --> 01:18:24,920
Speaker 20: Well it never used, it does. We've been announcing we're

1610
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:30,639
Speaker 20: going to raise our spending, but for the last two years, understand,

1611
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:33,280
Speaker 20: for the last year and a half, and nothing's happened.

1612
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:37,000
Speaker 20: You know, there's virtually nothing was in the last budget

1613
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:42,479
Speaker 20: for the armed forces. This is in order to curry

1614
01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:48,479
Speaker 20: favor with America after after the Native meeting in Munich

1615
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:53,200
Speaker 20: and then the security meeting in Munich. But it's still

1616
01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:56,960
Speaker 20: I'll believe it when it happens. I believe when it happens,

1617
01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:57,679
Speaker 20: make okay.

1618
01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:00,479
Speaker 2: And what's your view on Rubio? I mean, there's so

1619
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:03,000
Speaker 2: much coverage of this Rubio speech and depending on who

1620
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:05,200
Speaker 2: you were, depending on how you're viewed it. Of course,

1621
01:19:05,520 --> 01:19:07,840
Speaker 2: what was Britain's take out of what he said or

1622
01:19:07,880 --> 01:19:08,360
Speaker 2: didn't say?

1623
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:15,200
Speaker 20: I think, I mean it's a good cop bad cop stuff.

1624
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:18,360
Speaker 20: At first, his speech was warmly received because he didn't

1625
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:20,800
Speaker 20: say all the Europeans are scumbags, which is what you

1626
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:24,599
Speaker 20: get from Trump and Vance. Instead it was some far

1627
01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:27,439
Speaker 20: more immediatory and you're our allies and always will be

1628
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:32,120
Speaker 20: our allies and all this kind of stuff. But nonetheless,

1629
01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:35,640
Speaker 20: the underlying message was the same, which is you've got

1630
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:37,640
Speaker 20: to stand on your own two feet, and you've got

1631
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:41,320
Speaker 20: to spend more on defense, and you've got to stand

1632
01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:44,800
Speaker 20: up for certain values. What those values were he didn't

1633
01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:48,479
Speaker 20: actually spell out, but by democracy and freedom of speech

1634
01:19:48,560 --> 01:19:51,519
Speaker 20: he means, you know, non wokeness. I suspect as well,

1635
01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:55,439
Speaker 20: but it hasn't gone down too badly here, and I

1636
01:19:55,520 --> 01:19:59,439
Speaker 20: think there was probably some relief within the government that

1637
01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:02,320
Speaker 20: it wasn't another round basically of europe bashing.

1638
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:04,320
Speaker 2: No, while I've got you by the way, since we

1639
01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:07,320
Speaker 2: last talked, that Palestine Action court decision has been handed down.

1640
01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:11,040
Speaker 2: Obviously the government's going to appeal. But this is the

1641
01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:12,720
Speaker 2: government between a rock and a Hanna place. I mean,

1642
01:20:12,760 --> 01:20:15,360
Speaker 2: do Palestine Action hit the street that they start getting arrested,

1643
01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:17,719
Speaker 2: how does this play out literally between now and the appeal.

1644
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:25,400
Speaker 20: It's a bad, bad, bad thing to have happened. We

1645
01:20:25,479 --> 01:20:28,879
Speaker 20: are in a position now where court cases are decided

1646
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:32,400
Speaker 20: not by what actually happens, but by what the sympathies

1647
01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:35,040
Speaker 20: are with the defendants. And we've seen a little bit

1648
01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:38,280
Speaker 20: of that with the Just Stop Oil protesters. How you

1649
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:41,320
Speaker 20: can see a police woman being smashed across the back

1650
01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:44,479
Speaker 20: and then decide that it didn't take place because you

1651
01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:49,439
Speaker 20: agree with not funding Israel. It's bad for the government,

1652
01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:51,880
Speaker 20: but worse than that, it's very, very bad for our

1653
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:55,840
Speaker 20: judicial system. And I'm glad they're appealing and there is

1654
01:20:55,920 --> 01:20:59,000
Speaker 20: another case to come anyway, and we can't say too

1655
01:20:59,120 --> 01:21:01,360
Speaker 20: much about it over here because it's sub true to say, of.

1656
01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:04,240
Speaker 2: Course, all right, catch up on Thursday. Appreciated. It has

1657
01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:06,360
Speaker 2: always brought a little out of Britain. Vaping in cars,

1658
01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:10,479
Speaker 2: by the way, it could be banned if you're carrying children.

1659
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:15,160
Speaker 2: Twelve week consultation now. Also indoor spaces where smoking's already

1660
01:21:15,200 --> 01:21:19,120
Speaker 2: banned would also become vape and heated tobacco free under

1661
01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:21,320
Speaker 2: some new proposals. So that's the young last from that

1662
01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:23,120
Speaker 2: particular part of the world. Sixteen too.

1663
01:21:24,720 --> 01:21:29,120
Speaker 1: The My Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered

1664
01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:30,160
Speaker 1: by news Talks at b.

1665
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:33,680
Speaker 2: News Talks every thirteen Away from nine. Couple of things

1666
01:21:33,720 --> 01:21:36,040
Speaker 2: out of Australia. There was a leak yesterday Susan Lee,

1667
01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:39,200
Speaker 2: who's no longer the leader of the Coalition, did have

1668
01:21:39,320 --> 01:21:42,760
Speaker 2: some plans to make some announcements on immigration, a tougher

1669
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:46,960
Speaker 2: English language requirements, banning people from regional terra hotspots, thirteen countries,

1670
01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:50,639
Speaker 2: very trump esque thirteen different countries, mainly in Africa of course,

1671
01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:55,000
Speaker 2: overall lower migration numbers. Now, the problem with that is

1672
01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:59,599
Speaker 2: it would have been for that particular political constituency relatively popular,

1673
01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:02,080
Speaker 2: so angus Tator, the new leader of the Coalition, sought

1674
01:22:02,120 --> 01:22:04,639
Speaker 2: it between a rock and a hard place, and he's

1675
01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:08,320
Speaker 2: sort of talked about bad migration and what that means.

1676
01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:11,719
Speaker 2: Nobody seems to know. We shouldn't discriminate, he says, based

1677
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:14,800
Speaker 2: on racial religion, but we should based on values. Once again,

1678
01:22:14,960 --> 01:22:17,200
Speaker 2: what that means nobody knows either. So he's got time.

1679
01:22:17,240 --> 01:22:18,800
Speaker 2: He's only been on the job three and a half minutes.

1680
01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:21,639
Speaker 2: But anyway, so she looked Trump esque and was about

1681
01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:24,599
Speaker 2: to relay that by way of an idea or a policy.

1682
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:28,280
Speaker 2: She's now gone and he's in, and everyone's going, well,

1683
01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:30,880
Speaker 2: do you agree with her? Is that your policy? What's

1684
01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:34,479
Speaker 2: going on meantime? Pauline Hanson, and she's quite right, said

1685
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:37,160
Speaker 2: no one, And this is why the coalition's in the trouble.

1686
01:22:37,200 --> 01:22:39,920
Speaker 2: It is no one will ever be as strong as

1687
01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:42,280
Speaker 2: one nation non immigration. That's why she's going well at

1688
01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:44,280
Speaker 2: the moment. It's why, of course Barage is going well

1689
01:22:44,439 --> 01:22:47,040
Speaker 2: at the moment. But then we come to the business

1690
01:22:47,160 --> 01:22:50,080
Speaker 2: of the International Monetary Fund. They released a report yesterday

1691
01:22:50,120 --> 01:22:52,080
Speaker 2: on the Australian economy and they said a whole bunch

1692
01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 2: of interesting stuff. The government. They want the government to

1693
01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:57,479
Speaker 2: do a whole bunch of stuff coming up May twelve

1694
01:22:57,640 --> 01:23:02,479
Speaker 2: in the budget, embrace far reaching tax reform in their words,

1695
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:05,920
Speaker 2: not mine increase in the GST, overhauling the capital gains

1696
01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:10,960
Speaker 2: tax and cutting company tax. Now they want red tape

1697
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:15,040
Speaker 2: gone or a cutting off, industrial relations reform, prioritizing infrastructure

1698
01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:17,479
Speaker 2: with large economic benefits. All of this is interesting to

1699
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:19,320
Speaker 2: the extent that normally they just say a whole out

1700
01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 2: of bland things and nobody pays any attention to. But

1701
01:23:21,760 --> 01:23:23,479
Speaker 2: here's a couple of quotes that you want to think about.

1702
01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:27,040
Speaker 2: Why because they're applicable to us in this election campaign.

1703
01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:31,679
Speaker 2: Why because who's got a capital gains tax? Labor tax

1704
01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:36,160
Speaker 2: breaks including superannuation concessions in capital gains tax discount could

1705
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:38,719
Speaker 2: be phased out to generate a more equitable and efficient

1706
01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:42,320
Speaker 2: tax system, they say. And here's the big line. If

1707
01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:46,920
Speaker 2: you tax residential housing, there will be less of it.

1708
01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:52,360
Speaker 2: If you tax residential housing, there will be less of it.

1709
01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:55,720
Speaker 2: So Labour can't have it both ways. Labour want more

1710
01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:59,760
Speaker 2: supply to theoretically bring the price down, and yet the

1711
01:23:59,840 --> 01:24:04,360
Speaker 2: moment you start taxing it, there will be less of it. Hence,

1712
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:07,519
Speaker 2: when there's less of it, the price goes up, So

1713
01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:11,000
Speaker 2: how do they explain their way out of that? Maybe

1714
01:24:11,080 --> 01:24:13,160
Speaker 2: we'll ask Genny when she's on the program tomorrow ten

1715
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:14,840
Speaker 2: away from nine, the.

1716
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:18,120
Speaker 3: Mike Hosking Breakfast with the Defender News toks dead b.

1717
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:20,479
Speaker 2: I'm not sure which way to think here. I'm reading

1718
01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:22,400
Speaker 2: yesterday David Kirk, who I seem to have a lot

1719
01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:24,680
Speaker 2: of time for, I mean, very successful businessman and he's

1720
01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:27,080
Speaker 2: chairman currently of the New Zealand Rugby Union. You've never

1721
01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:30,120
Speaker 2: heard more of them due largely at the moment of

1722
01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:31,679
Speaker 2: the fact that they don't appear to have many people

1723
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:34,040
Speaker 2: actually working at the union anymore because they've all left

1724
01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:36,479
Speaker 2: and they're busy replacing them. So a guy called Chris

1725
01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:40,679
Speaker 2: Kinraid has been appointed chief financial officer, Chris Brown chief

1726
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:43,880
Speaker 2: Commercial Officer. Brown is a former executive at mackers Kin

1727
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:49,000
Speaker 2: Raid is former chief executive Hellestein Glassons Lancaster, who's the

1728
01:24:49,080 --> 01:24:52,200
Speaker 2: CEO of Fillan former lock for the Crusaders of course,

1729
01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:54,439
Speaker 2: I mean that alone should make you see I mean,

1730
01:24:54,439 --> 01:24:57,479
Speaker 2: if you're a lock for just Crusaders generally, were you

1731
01:24:57,600 --> 01:25:00,760
Speaker 2: ever a Crusader? Yes, I was excellent. What job do

1732
01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:04,080
Speaker 2: you want that's plenty for me anyway. So he's in there,

1733
01:25:04,160 --> 01:25:07,040
Speaker 2: standing by to stand by, but they're taking their time

1734
01:25:07,120 --> 01:25:08,040
Speaker 2: to make the right appointment.

1735
01:25:08,080 --> 01:25:08,200
Speaker 3: Now.

1736
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:10,120
Speaker 2: I don't know whether I'm filled with confidence in that

1737
01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:13,240
Speaker 2: or whether I'm filled with sort of a fear, because

1738
01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:15,680
Speaker 2: I don't believe the way they've handled the coaching thing

1739
01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:18,599
Speaker 2: has work particularly well to this point. You might note,

1740
01:25:18,600 --> 01:25:20,120
Speaker 2: at this current point in time, we don't actually have

1741
01:25:20,200 --> 01:25:24,160
Speaker 2: a coach, and that would be moderately important. And the

1742
01:25:24,240 --> 01:25:25,840
Speaker 2: other coach has been paid a lot of money not

1743
01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:28,360
Speaker 2: to coach, and they got rid of him and wrote

1744
01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:30,600
Speaker 2: him a check before they worked out what they were

1745
01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:32,040
Speaker 2: going to do next. And what they're going to do

1746
01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:35,160
Speaker 2: next doesn't appear to be happening at any sort of pace.

1747
01:25:36,160 --> 01:25:38,439
Speaker 2: And indeed, not only that job's not being filled at

1748
01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:40,639
Speaker 2: any sort of pace, we find out yesterday from mister

1749
01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:42,800
Speaker 2: Kirk that the CEO's job's not being filled in any

1750
01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:46,280
Speaker 2: sort of pace either. So if I'm mister Lancaster fill

1751
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:50,320
Speaker 2: in CEO, am I thinking how come they haven't appointed

1752
01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:52,000
Speaker 2: me yet? Am I thinking?

1753
01:25:52,680 --> 01:25:52,840
Speaker 21: Here?

1754
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:54,960
Speaker 2: Well, I'm so. I mean, he started yesterday, went back

1755
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:56,720
Speaker 2: into the office Monday, and he's thinking, well, hold on,

1756
01:25:56,920 --> 01:25:59,760
Speaker 2: is the note. Is there an email from David saying, well, congratulations,

1757
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:01,880
Speaker 2: you've the job. And the longer that goes on, do

1758
01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:04,240
Speaker 2: I think they're looking for somebody else? And then if

1759
01:26:04,280 --> 01:26:06,160
Speaker 2: they're looking for somebody else, who is that somebody else?
