Speaker 2: Great to have your company coming up on the show.

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 2: We've got quarter one GDP out today and we're going

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 2: to speak to a really successful Kiwi manufacturing business here

8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 2: to see how they're firing, because we've had numbers sort

9
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: of jumping around a little bit on manufacturing. Be interesting

10
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: to get an insight this morning. We'll get to a

11
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,880

Speaker 2: getting involved in the Middle East acc claims which sports

13
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 2: are the worst offenders? Few surprises for you there. Census

14
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 2: is gone, it's good, Sleeping drugs are in, that's good.

15
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 2: And Erica Stamford on the visa changes, more visa changes

16
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: for the Chinese. That's ahead.

17
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 3: The agenda Thursday to nineteenth June.

18
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: I may do it, I may not. That's the words

19
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: of the Trump deciding whether to join Israel's strikes on

20
00:00:59,560 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: a run.

21
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 4: I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do.

22
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: I can tell you there's that Aram's got a lot

23
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: of trouble, and they want to negotiate, And I said,

24
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: why didn't you negotiate with me before all this death.

25
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: To Meani, this is around Supreme Leader warning Trump to

26
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 2: back off.

27
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 5: Please no, But America's intervention in this matter is one

28
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 5: hundred percent to their detriment. What they will suffer in

29
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 5: this regard is much greater than what's a run they suffer.

30
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 2: Now, the US Supreme Court has ruled that Tennessee can

31
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 2: limit or fully ban gender transition care for young people. Basically,

32
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: banning puberty blockers for under eighteens is not discrimination.

33
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 6: It gives a way for other states who are either

34
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 6: preparing this type of legislation.

35
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 3: Or already have it.

36
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 6: And for these people, their voices and their way to

37
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 6: be heard was now just cut short back home.

38
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: A record number of our teachers are working past retirement age.

39
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: About ten percent of the total workforce are over the

40
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: age of sixty five. Here is a six eight year

41
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: old teacher who's been in the workforce for twenty years.

42
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 7: I know that in reality we should have for younger

43
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 7: teachers coming through the problem is that our younger teachers

44
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 7: are getting qualified and disappearing.

45
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: Not sure, Yeah, plus the young ones can't do maths.

46
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 2: I mean, they were brought up in the cities, they

47
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: were raised in the and taught in the very system

48
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: that's failing you know. The same system that's starting our

49
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: kids today is the one that failed them, you know

50
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: what I mean. So it's good to have some older teachers.

51
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: Around eight minutes after five.

52
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 3: The first word on the News of the Day early

53
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 3: edition with.

54
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and ex fol Insulation keeping Kiwi Holmes warm

55
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: and dry.

56
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: This winter news talk said, be good morning. Now.

57
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: My alarm goes at one of those unholy hours, like

58
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: many of you probably if you're awake listening at this time.

59
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: Most days, it's fine, you know, and you get maybe

60
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: you get five hours sleep, maybe you get six hours

61
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: sleep if you're lucky. Maybe you have a nap during

62
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 2: the day, you know, lying around the house on the couch,

63
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 2: if you get some time. I've never been a good

64
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 2: sleeper personally, which is why I'm absolutely fizzing frothing at

65
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: the mouth about the government gonna basically give us malatonin

66
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: over the counter without a prescription. I've always found it

67
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 2: old that you could get hardcore, proper sleeping pills from

68
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: the doctor on prescription and they were subsidized. I always

69
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 2: found that wed if you wanted malatonin, which is way

70
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: more natural it's basically the same chemical that your body

71
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 2: produces when you go to sleep, you had to not

72
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: only get a prescription for it, but you also had

73
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: to pay fifty dollars a pop for the medication instead

74
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: of paying five dollars or whatever, which for you knock

75
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: me out cold ones. Wouldn't they prefer you had a

76
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: more natural one? Anyway? I don't care who cares that's coming.

77
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: This is good and it's gonna make a massive difference

78
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: to people. I think. Nothing like a good night's sleep.

79
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: I actually know. I won't say who, But there was

80
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: a New Zealand Prime minister who I was traveling on

81
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: a plane with once on a on a like a

82
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: trade mission. It was a government plane and an air

83
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: Force plane, and I saw that they had a stash

84
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: of malatonin in their bag and it was purchased overseas,

85
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 2: and I said, oh, where did you get that from?

86
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: And this person said, America, And you're not meant to

87
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 2: do that. If you import it from America, you can

88
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 2: have it taken off you are customs, you know, or

89
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: if you have it sent over. You can take have

90
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: it taken off you, or you could have it taken

91
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: off you at the airport. Now, you don't normally get

92
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 2: search when you're on these Air Force on jets, so

93
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 2: this particular prime minister didn't. But there you go. Even

94
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 2: the prime ministers were breaking the rules. Same thing goes

95
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 2: actually for this announcement yesterday about mushrooms and depression, why

96
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: not give it a go? And then you think, why

97
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,799
Speaker 2: do we have so many rules, so much red tape,

98
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: unnecessary nonsense around medications in the first place, And most

99
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: of the time the answer is simply that nobody has

100
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 2: stepped in and questioned it before. So thank god somebody

101
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 2: is doing that. And maybe we'll get eight hours sleep

102
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: out of an evening eleven after five, Ryan Bred coming

103
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 2: up next, we'll talk about the census as everybody is

104
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 2: celebrating the fact, celebrating its demise. I mean, what a

105
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: waste of time and they already have enough information. Apparently

106
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 2: a couple of fish trucks will get to the.

107
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: Next get ahead of the headlines on an early edition with.

108
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,799
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and ex Fole Insulation keeping Kiwi Holmes warm

109
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: and dry.

110
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: This winter news talks a'd.

111
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 2: Be five point thirteen nine two ninety two is the

112
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 2: number to text We'd love to hear from you this morning.

113
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: Latest IPSOS New Zealand Issues Monitor. This is basically a

114
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 2: survey of one thousand New Zealanders conducted immediately after the budget.

115
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 2: And if you're a fan of this coalition government then

116
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 2: you might want to close your ears. National has lost

117
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: New Zealander's confidence in managing inflation in the cost of

118
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: living according to this, with voters instead trusting labor more

119
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: to handle what they consider the primary issue. So the

120
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: issue number one is constant living and they think that

121
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 2: labor has the edge over National and taming it. Overall,

122
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: labor was considered more capable in handling eleven of the

123
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 2: top twenty issues health, housing, education, transport, immigration, unemployment, National

124
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 2: on top and only three the economy, crime, defense, and

125
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: foreign affairs. Now you might be scratching your head when

126
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 2: you're listening to that, because you think, hang on, a minute,

127
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: is how short it are people's memories. But when the

128
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 2: cost of living is one of those things, it is

129
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 2: a politician's worst nightmare because you look at the price

130
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 2: of butter and you hate the person in power. It

131
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: happened to just cinder. It's happening to luxon. I don't

132
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: think that's going to reflect an election outcome or have

133
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: any bearing on it. That is a completely different kettle

134
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 2: of fish. But there you go. That's the way people

135
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 2: are feeling today. Quarter past five, Bryan Bridge should go

136
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: one of the days of the five year census yesterday

137
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 2: it was scrapped by the government and instead agencies will

138
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 2: use data they already collect, like ird numbers that will

139
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: be provided by smaller scale surveys. Rema vy THEA. Nathan

140
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,679
Speaker 2: is the director of the Center for Social Data Analytics

141
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,559
Speaker 2: at Analytics at a UT And that's with me this morning. Remember,

142
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 2: good morning, good morning man. Did we need the census?

143
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 7: Well, not at that price, my goodness. On twenty five

144
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 7: million dollars to do a census of two million households.

145
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 7: My eyes were watering when I saw that number. So

146
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 7: that is incredibly expensive and I think that that needs

147
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 7: to be looked at, frankly. But yeah, given the price,

148
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 7: given it's every five years, and you know, we can

149
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 7: use that been data now to do an annual census

150
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 7: and that's much more useful than waiting, you know, for

151
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 7: five years to find out what's happening. So I think

152
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 7: this is a really good move.

153
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: Lots of other countries have already done this, haven't they.

154
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 2: They're using administrative data, and lots of other countries would

155
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 2: only do it every ten years anyway, not five exactly.

156
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 7: And you know, it's it's kind of really people think, oh,

157
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 7: the census is accurate. Well, it's accurate for you know,

158
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 7: the twenty fifth of March twenty twenty three, and then

159
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 7: you know what, people left the country, other people were born,

160
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 7: you know, people moved house, and it's not accurate anymore.

161
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 7: So you know, the degree of accuracy is how close

162
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 7: to in time you are to the snapshot of your population.

163
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 7: So I think that moving to admin data that can

164
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 7: give us real time information. You know, I sort of

165
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 7: call the census as if my bank gives me annual

166
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 7: bank balances for me to decide on what I'm going

167
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 7: to buy and I'm going.

168
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 8: To you know what I earn.

169
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 7: It's I think it's time has come.

170
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 2: Ch appreciate your input this morning. That's Rema Vi, thea

171
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 2: Nathan who's with aut There you go again, this is

172
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 2: like the malatonin thing. We do things and you know,

173
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 2: whether it's regulations or whether it's a census, or whether

174
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 2: it's a particular law or a visa. We're about to

175
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: talk about Chinese visas with Erica Stanford, because we've just

176
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: always done them, and then every year and then you start,

177
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 2: you set up a department and their jobbers to do it,

178
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 2: and so every year they do it. But every now

179
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: and then you need someone to come along and say,

180
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 2: why are we doing this? Do we need to spend

181
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 2: twenty five million dollars every five years on a census

182
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 2: that doesn't mean anything? Clearly the answer is no, So

183
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 2: good riddance. Eric Annext seventeen after five, News Talk said, be.

184
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with

185
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and x full Insulation keeping Kiwi Holmes warm

186
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: and dry this winter.

187
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 2: News Talk said b I'll have the acc snapshot numbers

188
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 2: for you in a second. It's what sports are causing

189
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: the most injuries. Also will get to the latest from

190
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 2: the Honorable, the right Honorable Winston pieces our foreign me.

191
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 2: They've evacuated a couple of our staff out of Tehran

192
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 2: overnight just gone twenty after five. Now more visa changes

193
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: for Chinese visitors on the way from November. Chinese passport

194
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 2: holders will no longer be required to obtain a transit visa.

195
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 2: We're traveling through New Zealand airports. This means no visa

196
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 2: application fees when traveling through to say South America and

197
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 2: beyond Erica. Stanford is the Minister and with me this morning.

198
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 2: Good morning, minister, good morning, how are you good? Thank you?

199
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 2: What do we think this will do? What effect will

200
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: this have?

201
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 4: Although we're a number of great things for New Zealand.

202
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 4: I mean, firstly, it'll boost our terrorism numbers. We know

203
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 4: that our tourism numbers aren't where they need to be,

204
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 4: especially our Chinese visitors. They're still lagging it around sixty

205
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 4: five percent pre COVID, So anything we can do to help.

206
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 4: But also if you think about our trade as well,

207
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 4: I mean, this will significantly increase the amount of freight

208
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 4: that will come in and out of China but also

209
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 4: across to South America as well. It also bring down

210
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 4: freight prices, freight prices which you know are pretty high.

211
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 4: The other thing which I think people are probably not

212
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 4: thinking about, but I'm thinking about as well as our

213
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 4: international education. So if you think about South America, we

214
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 4: want more international students coming from South America at the moment,

215
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 4: there is I saw them a monopoly on flights. There's

216
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 4: only one company doing it. Now you'll have more, so

217
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 4: I'll bring that price down of being able to get

218
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 4: across from South America. So I'm hoping that we'll also

219
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 4: see an increased number of international students out of South

220
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 4: America as well.

221
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 2: All right, minister, let's talk about the weird thing that's

222
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 2: happening with the government. So why is any Why won't

223
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 2: anybody just say, you know, China's not on our visa

224
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 2: free list? Right, And I've asked. I asked the Prime

225
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 2: Minister about this on Monday. I heard him aster about

226
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 2: it because he's over in China at the moment, and

227
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 2: he won't say why they're not on the visa free list.

228
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 2: Can you just say, categorically, what risk do they pipe?

229
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 2: Why aren't they on there?

230
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 4: Most countries aren't on a visa free list.

231
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 8: The reason we have to look at it is because it's.

232
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 4: Because there's there's risk with every country. Every country has

233
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 4: a certain risk. There's loads of different risks. If you

234
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 4: don't China, for example, Well, if you look at China

235
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 4: for example, they're our second largest market for asylum seekerds right,

236
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 4: and so there are lots of other countries we have

237
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 4: asylum seekers from as well, but it's just one of

238
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 4: the considerations. But the main thing is also it's a

239
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 4: huge piece of work to undertake a big program of

240
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 4: looking at whether or not we should make a country

241
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 4: visa free, and that would be an immigration piece of work.

242
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 4: We are absolutely up to our eyeballs and immigration with

243
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 4: our work program. There is literally nothing else we can

244
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 4: add it and without me taking something else of a

245
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 4: huge piece of work. So I don't have the time

246
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 4: to do it. But what I can do is the

247
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 4: two things you've seen.

248
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: We worried just so weakly. We're worried that we would

249
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 2: be overwhelmed with asylum seekers if we did visa free

250
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 2: from China.

251
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 4: You're putting words into my market and say overwhelmed. They

252
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 4: said that they are the second largest country that we

253
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 4: have asylum seekers from. It's one of the risks.

254
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 2: Right, But what is the benefit? What is the benefit though,

255
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 2: because we're still only that sixty percent of pre COVID

256
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: levels for tourism from China, when we're living more than

257
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: a billion bucks on the table at this point, is

258
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 2: it not worth looking at or do we not do

259
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: we not even want to go there.

260
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 4: There are a couple of other things we've done just

261
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 4: recently which I think will bring the numbers back that

262
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 4: are a lot easier, safer, risk free. If you look

263
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 4: at what we've just done recently, we've announced the fact

264
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 4: that China, China, these past beholders can come in through

265
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 4: Australia visa free. Now we're expecting that to increase tourism

266
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 4: numbers by ten to twenty percent. When I say Chinese

267
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 4: visitors are back to sixty five percent, that's arrived on sure.

268
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 4: The actual figure that's more interesting is eighty five percent

269
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 4: of the pre COVID numbers of Chinese visitors have been

270
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 4: approved of visa, which means they haven't you sit yet

271
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 4: because they're on their way. So if you add that

272
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 4: eighty five percent to what we think are going to

273
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 4: come to Australia plus this, I think we'll be back

274
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 4: to we'll be back to pre pandemic numbers as without

275
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 4: me having to do months and months and months of

276
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 4: work that we don't have time to do twice.

277
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 2: Also, you know, adding I think you have answered the

278
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 2: question quite sufficiently. I appreciate it. Thank you, unlike your boss,

279
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 2: just spit it out anyway. I appreciate you coming on

280
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 2: the show, Minister, have a great day, Eric Stan, thank you.

281
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 2: Immigration Minister twenty five after five year on News Talks.

282
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 2: He'd be some thoughts on Matadiki week in your head

283
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 2: of course the time will you reflect and observe things

284
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 2: around you? Basically I'll do a bit of that next.

285
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 2: Also the front page of the Hell this morning about

286
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 2: the cop who lowered the standards for the physical test.

287
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 2: It's a Michael Morrin special and we will get to

288
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 2: the US just before six News Talks FB.

289
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: The early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio Power by NEWSTALKSB.

290
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: News TALKSB five twenty seven. Good to have your company.

291
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 2: World's a bit of a mess at the moment, isn't it,

292
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 2: to say the least. And I'm as guilty as the

293
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 2: next person of complaining about the tyranny of distance in

294
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 2: New Zealand. But the fact is we're bloody lucky to

295
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: live this far across the ocean and out of harm's way.

296
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 2: We're at least ten thousand kilometers away from the nearest

297
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 2: nuclear weapon launch site, which is good to know. Put

298
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: that on your list of things to be grateful for

299
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 2: this morning. Whether it's in shinjong In Province in China

300
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 2: or the Pacific coast of the US, doesn't mean we're

301
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 2: immune to threats and fallout from conflict, nor should we

302
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 2: ignore them. And Foreign Minister Winston Peters certainly isn't. This

303
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,359
Speaker 2: week he said he had never seen such an uncertain

304
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: geostrategic set of circumstances as the ones we are currently

305
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 2: living through. And that's Winston. We had a report out

306
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 2: this week that for the first time since the Cold War,

307
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 2: we are replacing old war heads quicker than we are

308
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 2: getting rid of them, so, in other words, for the

309
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: first time, there will be an overall increase in nuclear weapons.

310
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 2: This is in the coming years. No matter how far

311
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 2: from the front lines we may be and how safe

312
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 2: we may feel as a consequence, it doesn't mean we

313
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,440

00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,120

343
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: but some more posturing. Also, lots of texts coming in

344

Speaker 2: and the oh, we've got a statement from Winston. I

345
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 2: haven't read that to you yet. I'll get that in second. Ryan,

346
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 2: the cost of living. This is after the survey came out.

347
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 2: The whole result came out from IPSOS this morning. Ryan,

348
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 2: the cost of saying. Basically, labor has leap frogged national

349
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 2: on the cost of living issue. Ryan, the cost of

350
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 2: living is directly caused by Labour's legacy of mismanagement. Leaving

351
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 2: the cupboard bit, Ryan, people obviously forget when Cinder got in,

352
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,479
Speaker 2: I won't say won the election, because she came second

353
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 2: and promised to build ten thousand state homes a year.

354
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: How did that go? Should they get back in? The

355
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 2: sign at the airport will read for the last person leaving,

356
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 2: please turn the lights off. Best Leo, thanksfully for your message.

357
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I understand what you're saying, but I think people,

358
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 2: I just think voters deal with what's in front of them.

359
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 2: Cost of butter is high milk's expensive. Hate government. I mean,

360
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 2: that's what we did when labor was in. I mean,

361
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 2: you could definitely argue their policies, and you should. Their

362
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 2: policies caused a lot of that nonsense. But that's just

363
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 2: the way voters are. You know, they see what's in

364
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 2: front of them and then they fire off blame. That's

365
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 2: how it works. That's politics twenty two and I guess

366
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,959
Speaker 2: that's where you need good communicators to come in and

367
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 2: sell a story that contradicts it or gives them hope

368
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 2: that you might be able to change something. Twenty two

369
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 2: to six. Brian our reporters around the country, Callum Proctor

458
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,040

Speaker 12: and cry is crying.

462
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,400

00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 12: On these young people, they don't know how lucky they are.

Speaker 12: and you'll be able to see the star cluster.

470
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 2: Honestly, I can see the excitement is a little glint

471
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 2: in your eye.

472
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 12: No, I don't have to get up at three am tomorrow.

Speaker 2: that shortly plus just before six o'clock this morning. It's

479
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 2: completely slipped my mind what we're talking about, but anyway,

480
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 2: we'll talk about that. Oh, that's right. It's manufacturing. We've

481
00:24:55,080 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 2: got a we've found a small but mighty manufacturing business Auckland,

482
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 2: seventy five staff, three locations. We want to check the

483
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 2: pulse because we're getting our quarter one GDP data out today,

484
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 2: so we'll do that just before six News Talk SEBB

485
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 2: Quarter one GDP data out soon well out this morning.

486
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 2: We'll get to that in just a second, just gone

487
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 2: fourteen away from six on newstalk seed b Winston Peters

488
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 2: has put out a release this morning on Iran. He says,

489
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 2: if you are a key we there, we did warn

490
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 2: you that you should get out earlier. Anyway, now there's

491
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 2: not much of a chance to if you're either in

492
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 2: Israel or Iran. Flights obviously affected, airspace affected, but he

493
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 2: says they're looking at options for evacuating once it's safe

494
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 2: to do so, coordinating with the Australians. By the way,

495
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 2: overnight the newslet on embassy in Tehran was closed. Two

496
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 2: staff members and their families were evacuated. They went by

497
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 2: land to Azerbaijan and they did this because there was

498
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 2: basically an opportunity. There was embassy staff from other countries,

499
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 2: from other Allied countries who were taking their people out

500
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,959
Speaker 2: and so we got involved with that and that they

501
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 2: are now safe in Azerbaijan's urting to.

502
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: Sex International Correspondence with ins and Eye Insurance peace of

503
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business.

504
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 2: I Meanwhile, we watch and whites Trump and his comments

505
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 2: on the situation in the Middle East. He's done a

506
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 2: media staying up a short time ago. Katie for Share

507
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 2: our US correspondent well US Caddy what's he saying, Well.

508
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 13: He's not doing anything to end this speculation as to

509
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 13: whether or not the US is going to go in

510
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 13: and help Israel in its strikes in Iran. He basically said, look,

511
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 13: I may or I may not. Nobody knows what I'm

512
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 13: going to do. He suggested it wasn't too late for negotiations. Still,

513
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 13: but the Iran Supreme Leader has dismissed Donald Trump's calls

514
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 13: for an unconditional surrender, and he has warned that the

515
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 13: Americans should know that any US military intervention will undoubtedly

516
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 13: be accompanied by quote irreparable damage. So we still don't

517
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 13: have a clear idea of what the US president intends

518
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 13: to do, but we do know that it's causing some rift,

519
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 13: some divisions within his Republican party, who generally, up until

520
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 13: this point in his second presidency, have been completely in

521
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 13: lockstep with him, supporting everything that he's done. But here

522
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 13: we see some of his right wing cheerleaders like Tucker Carson,

523
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 13: who used to be on Fox News, and Marjorie Taylor

524
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 13: Green coming out and saying that by going into this

525
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 13: Iranian war, it would mean that Donald Trump was turning

526
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 13: his back on his America First policy. He promised in

527
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 13: his inauguration that he would not be starting wars, he

528
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 13: would be ending them, and so this would go really

529
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 13: against that. Then you've got others like Senators Lindsay Graham

530
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 13: and Ted Cruz who want him to go forward and

531
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 13: join as well in this fight against Iran.

532
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 2: Katie, thank you for that up there, Katie Fisher, our

533
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 2: US correspondent on Trump and Iran. It is living minutes

534
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 2: away from six. We get quarter one GDP data out today.

535
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 2: We were expecting an increase of point four, that's according

536
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 2: to the economists. Now they reckon something more like point

537
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 2: seven for the quarter. Manufacturing data looks strong for quarter one,

538
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 2: but things are potentially more dicey for quarter two. David

539
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 2: Sways is the CEO of Dodson Group. This is a manufacturer,

540
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 2: seventy five staff across three manufacturing plants in Auckland and

541
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 2: it's with us for the lowdown. David, good morning, Thanks

542
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 2: for having me on RAN. Great to have you here.

543
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 2: So you're a manufacturer, you're an export. It's a niche market.

544
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 2: Can you just give us some idea of what it

545
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 2: is you do?

546
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, So with us known for the dating line of

547
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 8: our high performance car parts, that we make here in

548
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 8: Auckland and we distribute internationally. So those are transmission parts,

549
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 8: so they're upgrade parts to they kind of fast cars faster.

550
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 8: And then we also manufacture precision components for other New

551
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 8: Zealand manufacturers and exports or so things like precision precision

552
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 8: metal parts, gears, gearboxes. So we're really kind of on

553
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 8: the front end of the economic cycle and we get

554
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 8: a get a good look early. We're usually kind of

555
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 8: six months ahead of you know, kind of the data

556
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 8: that's coming out in the news and what the central

557
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 8: banks point notes. We get a good kind of early

558
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 8: look at what's happening in the economy.

559
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 2: Does that mean right now things are actually okay for

560
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 2: you Yeah?

561
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 8: I mean look for us, I would say things probably

562
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 8: turned a corner in like February March time print, and

563
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 8: we actually feel pretty good about what's happening out there.

564
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,959
Speaker 8: I know, you know, there was the weak print on

565
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,239
Speaker 8: the p m I last month, and that surprised us

566
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 8: a little bit because you know, it hasn't shown up

567
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 8: in the order book. I think maybe there was there's

568
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 8: been some trepidation on you know, what's coming out of

569
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 8: the US. But I think overall I mean, you know,

570
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 8: order books are holding up pretty strong, and uh, you know,

571
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 8: for the good news out of this GDP print is

572
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 8: the you know, wages worked have been about flat and

573
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 8: I know that doesn't sound good for workers, but that

574
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 8: that implies productivities up and that's good for the economy

575
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 8: and that's good for the standard of living of New Zealand.

576
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 8: To see that productivity, uh, you know, back on it

577
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 8: on the type of curve and type of increases that

578
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 8: we want to see. So and I think any business

579
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 8: you know who who who you know had their head

580
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 8: in the right place over the last two years when

581
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 8: things were slow, was investing in the business to try

582
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 8: to come out, you know, with a productivity increase on

583
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 8: the other side once things picked up. And I know

584
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 8: that's certainly certainly where we're at right now.

585
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 2: That's fantastic to hear and certainly reflected in that survey

586
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,959
Speaker 2: we saw from two degrees this week how businesses are

587
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 2: feeling about productivity, which is always one of our big problems.

588
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 2: David appreciate that. David Swize, CEO of Dodson Group, which

589
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 2: is a manufacturer. They do basically precision manufacturing. It's a

590
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 2: niche market, but precision manufacturing. It's high horse power, exalted cars.

591
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 2: Mike would drive. He's here next News Talk SVB.

592
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on earlier Isha with Xpol insulation, keeping Kiwi

593
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: Holmes warm and try this Winter News TALKSB six.

594
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 2: To six News Talks. Heb just before your Matadiki weekend

595
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 2: and one of our listeners, who was Sarah, said, Ryan,

596
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 2: you referred to an interesting topic and then you moved

597
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 2: on and didn't get to explaining it. Sorry, Kate said that, Kate,

598
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 2: I apologized. It was ACC twenty twenty four, ACC excepted

599
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 2: two million injury claims, one point six million kiwis covered,

600
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 2: cost seven billion dollars. Four point four billion of that

601
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 2: went towards rehabilitation expenses. And here's your sports that I

602
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 2: was mentioning the most expensive one. Sports and recreation makeup

603
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 2: twenty three percent of claims. Fitness training at the gym.

604
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 2: That's CrossFit normally rugby union bad, football bad, cycling bad

605
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 2: and netball. I would have thought horse riding would be

606
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 2: on there, but there are obviously on enough people doing it.

607
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 2: The largest group of claims by volume is fitness training

608
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 2: at the gym five to six Bridge, might you be

609
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 2: doing a bit of that.

610
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 14: Well, I don't get injured though. That's the difference. There's

611
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 14: something wrong with us, or is there? Do you think

612
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 14: those numbers sixteen thousand people, by the way, claims on

613
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 14: gardening gardening injuries.

614
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 2: Gardening's normally older people and older people are frail. Yeah,

615
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 2: But the point is.

616
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 14: What's the system for See if the systems for people

617
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,640
