1 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 1: Digging through the spin spins to find the real story. 2 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: Oring it's hither duplicy elan drive with one New Zealand 3 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: let's get connected news talk Sa'd. 4 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 2: Be good afternoon. 5 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 3: Coming up on the show today, Shane Jones is apparently 6 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 3: considering rationing gas to certain businesses. He's going to explain 7 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 3: this to us after five. David Seymour on why the 8 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 3: government is going slow on the State of Palestine Corps 9 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 3: and we'll get you across all the new rules for 10 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 3: the America's Cup. 11 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,279 Speaker 4: Heather Dupicy Ellen, I. 12 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 3: Don't love saying this, but I think the government is 13 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 3: actually doing the right thing and taking its time and 14 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 3: not immediately following the Australians in their plans to recognize 15 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 3: a Palestinian state next month at the UN. I take 16 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,599 Speaker 3: absolutely no pleasure in saying this, because I would really 17 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 3: like to believe that it would work, that the international 18 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 3: community all recognizing a Palestinian state at the UN next 19 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 3: month would shame Israel and defeeding the kids. But if 20 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 3: we're honest with ourselves and set aside how much we 21 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 3: wish it would work, I think we can all accept 22 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 3: it probably won't work. Right, I mean, those kids need 23 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 3: food right now. What good is it if the countries 24 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:08,639 Speaker 3: of the world go to New York in a month's 25 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 3: time and all say that we recognize Palestine as a state. 26 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 3: Recognizing Palestine doesn't put food in their balleis. Even if 27 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 3: Israel did relent, even if Israel did then allow more 28 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 3: aidan following the meeting, that meeting is four weeks away. 29 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 3: These kids need food now, and I can't help but 30 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 3: feel that we've got ourselves wildly distracted here, haven't we? 31 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 3: For every minute and every colomage that we dedicate to 32 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 3: talking about whether we should or should not support the 33 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 3: state of Palestine in September, we are not spending that minute, 34 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 3: and we are not spending that colomage talking about getting 35 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 3: aid into kids who need food. Sure, Anthony Albanzi looks 36 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 3: like a hero for his announcement yesterday, and we look 37 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 3: like laggards. But Anthony Albanzi has not actually helped feed 38 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 3: the kids. And you cannot ignore this. I'm sorry, but 39 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 3: recognizing Palestine right now, while this war between Humus and 40 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 3: Israel is ongoing, is rewarding Humus for what they did 41 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 3: on October seven. They are already claiming that Palestinian statehood 42 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 3: is one of the so called, as they say, fruits 43 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 3: of October seven. Another way of saying what they are 44 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 3: saying is it's that massacring innocent people on that day 45 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 3: was worth it because they got what they wanted. We 46 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 3: cannot reward massacres like that. There should be a state 47 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 3: of Palestine, there is no doubt about it. I think 48 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 3: there should be. I'm not arguing with that, but that 49 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 3: is a post war discussion. That is the kind of 50 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 3: thing that happens after Hamas gives up the hostages. First 51 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 3: things first, those kids need to be fed and that 52 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 3: should be our priority. 53 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 4: Heather, do for see, Allen, could you're taking me out? 54 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 5: Would who is the. 55 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 3: Text understand a text fee supply? And as I said 56 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,679 Speaker 3: David C. Moore, Deputy Prime Minister with US after five 57 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 3: on that now there are urgent calls to help a 58 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 3: New Zealand woman and her six year old son who've 59 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 3: been in US immigration detention for almost three weeks now. 60 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 3: Sarah Shaw and her son Isaac normally live in Washington State. 61 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 3: They were coming home from Vancouver to Washington State, but 62 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 3: at that point they were denied into the US and 63 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 3: then sent to a detention facility in Texas. Victoria Bezantsen 64 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 3: is a close friend of Sarah's who's been fighting for 65 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 3: her release and is with us now, Victoria, are you there? 66 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 6: I am thank you. 67 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 3: Hey. Have you managed to speak to her while she's 68 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 3: been in detention? 69 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 7: I am actually one of two people who has allowed 70 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 7: pretty frequent communication with Sarah. 71 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 8: Yes. 72 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 3: Yeah? And how is she holding up? 73 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 7: The detention centers in America are pretty comparable to prisons, 74 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 7: so she's not doing the best. 75 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 3: And and is she with her boy or are they separated? 76 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 7: Her six year old son is with her in the 77 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 7: detention facility. Each room has about five bunk beds, so 78 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 7: families can stay together. 79 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 3: Is he okay? 80 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 6: He is not doing as well as we would have hoped. 81 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 7: He's been there almost three weeks now, so he's having 82 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 7: a pretty hard time. 83 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. Now, what was it? What was wrong with her 84 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 3: paperwork that landed her in this detention center? 85 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 7: So, because Sarah is on a combination visa, when her 86 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 7: visa was renewed for her employment, she assumed the entire 87 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 7: visa had been renewed since the visa is on a 88 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 7: singular card. However, she was waiting on her I three 89 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 7: sixty paperwork. It was an appending status and because that 90 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 7: portion wasn't renewed, she was unable to travel in and 91 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 7: out of the country. However, that wasn't it really explained 92 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 7: to her when she got her renewal paperwork and the visa. 93 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 3: Okay, So what happens next? 94 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 7: So right now we're waiting to hear back from the 95 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 7: facility tomorrow. There's been a lot of pressure placed on 96 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 7: them from Washington Senator and the governor, and we are 97 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 7: hoping that they will at minimum release Isaac, who did 98 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 7: have all of his proper paperwork, they still chose to 99 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 7: detain him illegally. 100 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 3: Okay. Where are the other kids? 101 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 7: The other two are currently in New Zealand with her grandparents. 102 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 3: Right now, okay. And is there a father here? 103 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 6: No, their fathers are not in the picture, oh. 104 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 3: Jas Okay, So where does the boy go? If he 105 00:04:58,680 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 3: gets released? 106 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 6: He will be released to me. 107 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 3: And how long might you have to care for him 108 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 3: if she gets if she's still stuck in the detention center. 109 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 6: As long as it takes. 110 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 7: I mean, she's one of my best friends, and I 111 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 7: mean our children are like cousins. 112 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 6: So he'll be with us until his mum's release. 113 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 3: Victoria. He can't come back to New Zealand be with 114 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 3: his grandparents. 115 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 7: He wasn't able to because he's not old enough to 116 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 7: fly un accompanied. 117 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 3: Oh Jesus complicated. 118 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 7: Where is. 119 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 3: Normally in this situation like this, Ministry of Foreign Affairs 120 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 3: in New Zealand would be involved to be advocating on 121 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,799 Speaker 3: behalf of this person. Any word from them. 122 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 7: So her lawyer, I'm not sure if she has fully 123 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 7: been able to reach out to them yet. We had 124 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 7: some representatives from Washington who reacted pretty quickly to this situation, 125 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 7: so we've been relying on their help right now. 126 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 3: Okay, the money that you're raising somebody is raising on 127 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 3: the go fundme page.

The climate 145 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 7: in America right now is not friendly to immigration. 146 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 3: Well, okay, Victoria, thanks for talking us through it.

Darcive Watter grave sports forces, Taylor 274 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 3: Swift host He'll be back at seven. 275 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 1: Pas getting the facts, discarding the fluff.

Her 280 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 3: Muss alone can end the suffering, all of it for 281 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,079 Speaker 3: the kids and the hostages alike. Tomorrow. Listen, this is 282 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 3: what this is what you have to understand. For Humus. 283 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 3: They don't care about the people of Palestine. Okay, so 284 00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 3: there's nothing you can do to Hammus. It's going to 285 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 3: make them want to feed the kids. They don't care. 286 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 3: This is good for them. The more the more, frankly 287 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 3: it is as a calculated as this is, the more 288 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 3: attention that the world gives this because kids are starving, 289 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 3: the better from us. So Humas and not. You can't 290 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 3: force com Us to feed the kids, nor, by the way, 291 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 3: can you force Israel. They don't care either, Right, I 292 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 3: don't even think that either of these groups, actually the 293 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 3: leadership in these in these organizations care about the people 294 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 3: at the bottom. That is for the world to step 295 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 3: in and try to sort it out. So I feel 296 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 3: like what's happened is that two issues have become conflated here, 297 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 3: which is the state of Palestine and feeding the kids, 298 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 3: and they're completely separate issues. Feed the kids, that's your 299 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 3: number one. Nothing else matters more at the moment. But anyway, 300 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,839 Speaker 3: the world works in mysterious ways. It's full twenty. 301 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 4: Five ever, do for see Ellens. 302 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 3: The debate around this, though, has claimed to scalp in 303 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 3: parliament because Chloe has been kicked out. So Chloe said 304 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 3: something in parliament about, oh, if we can only find 305 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 3: sixty eight MPs, you know, from the nash from the 306 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 3: other side of the house with a spine, then we 307 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 3: can blubb it. And then Jerry got up and said 308 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 3: that's not okay. You can't say that withdrawn apologize and 309 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 3: she said no, And Jerry said, well, you're going to 310 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 3: get to get out of the house, and she said happily, 311 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 3: and off she went, and that was the end of 312 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 3: Chloe in the house today. Anyway, Barry will I can't 313 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 3: quite figure out what it is that she said that 314 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 3: really got the goat of Jerry, because saying with a 315 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 3: spine does not feel like the most offensive thing has 316 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 3: been set in politics lately, you know, after the sea bomb. 317 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 3: That feels like it's quite low level. But anyway, maybe 318 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 3: Barry Soaper can explain to us what exactly so. But 319 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 3: then David got upset. David got upset because they were 320 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 3: wearing the scarves in Parliament, which they've been doing. I 321 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 3: don't know why today he's upset about that. They've been 322 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 3: doing it for ages anyway, so it's been a big 323 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 3: brew haha in there. So barry'sop will run us through 324 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 3: politics shortly. Taylor Swift, So what happened is that Taylor 325 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 3: Swift teased she loves a tease, and she teased today 326 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 3: a series of twelve photos on her Instagram account, all 327 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 3: of the pictures of her on the Era's tour, all 328 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 3: of them in Orange. I don't know what that means, 329 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 3: but people connect with people were like, oh, with that's 330 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 3: an album coming, there's got to be something. And sure enough, 331 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 3: she also said, thinking about when she said see you next, Era, 332 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 3: it's all cryptic youth talk. I don't know, but they 333 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 3: were right, and an album was released was announced producer Sam, 334 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 3: who's into her and all this kind of stuff, says 335 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 3: the official release date and cover art hasn't yet been released. 336 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 3: It has to come out before the thirteenth of October 337 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 3: because that's the latest shipping date. You can already pre 338 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 3: order the album. You can already spend money on it now, 339 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 3: so Taylor knows how to make a dollar anyway. That's 340 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 3: the end of all the Taylor News for you. 341 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 11: News is next. 342 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: Putting the challenging questions to the people.

It's hither duplicy Ellen drive with one 344 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: New Zealand let's get connected. 345 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 4: The news talks'd be what is a fill of? It's 346 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 4: on about you? 347 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 13: What is a pill? 348 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 3: Australia has just cut the cash rates by twenty five 349 00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 3: basis points. We'll talk to Murray Old's about that in 350 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 3: a tech and Barrysoper standing by to talk politics in 351 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 3: ten minutes time. Shane Jones has decided to seek advice 352 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 3: from officials as to whether he can ration gas because 353 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 3: as you know, as a country, we're running out of 354 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 3: gas and running out a lot faster than we thought 355 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 3: we would and it doesn't look like we I feel 356 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 3: like we need to get on board of this idea. 357 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 3: There ain't going to be no more gas, So gas 358 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 3: is running out in this country, and it's just a 359 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 3: case of how long can you basically go before you 360 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 3: need to convert? How much gas have we got left? 361 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 3: And so what he's doing is he wants to consider 362 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 3: the possibility of giving the gas to businesses that he 363 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 3: wants to give it to and rationing it to them essentially. 364 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 3: And what's brought this on is that you remember, Balance 365 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 3: announced on Friday that they were going to shut down 366 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 3: maybe for four months in order to be able to 367 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 3: you know, because they can't afford the gas contract. What's 368 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 3: happened as they've been outbid by Contact, and Contact has 369 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 3: basically paid more than Balance was prepared to pay in 370 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 3: order to onsell it to its customers. So this is 371 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 3: what's brought this idea on for Shane Joe's it's nutty, 372 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 3: It's completely nutty. But I think we're down to the 373 00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 3: nutty stuff now because I think that there's no other 374 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 3: salts anyway. We'll have it yet to have alfter five 375 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 3: o'clock about that, hither, what do you mean cryptic youth talk? 376 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 3: Taylor Swift is thirty five. Just because she's emotionally stunted 377 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 3: doesn't mean she's youth Well, cryptic youth talk because she 378 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 3: talks like she's a poet. Have you noticed that? Like, 379 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 3: it must be one of the most frustrating conversations. It 380 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 3: must be frustrating to have anything to do with Taylor 381 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 3: Swift in real life, because she talks like she's writing 382 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 3: a poem at you. The whole time she's like trying 383 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 3: to like, what does she mean? Why is the sentence 384 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 3: starting in the middle of a sentence? And then you know, 385 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 3: like it's all just quite weird. I just find it. 386 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 3: I find it takes about three times as long to 387 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 3: understand what Taylor's trying to say. 388 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 14: Thirty five isn't that old either, is it? I mean, 389 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,880 Speaker 14: a thirty five year old could sall tell you why 390 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 14: I have a young person three. 391 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 3: Hundred years ago, she'd be dead. Well, she have a 392 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 3: couple of years left, right, she'd have like a brood 393 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 3: of children. She had about twelve children. She's be on 394 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 3: to her second husband, and she'd be two years away 395 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 3: from being dead, twenty three away from five. 396 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: It's the world wires on news talks, it'd be drive. 397 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 3: Donald Trump has pulled in the National Guard for a 398 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 3: crackdown on crime in Washington, DC. He says crime is 399 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 3: out of control in the Cawpital, despite official statistics showing 400 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 3: that violent crime in the city is at a thirty 401 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 3: year low. 402 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 15: Well deployee officers across the district with an overwhelming presence. 403 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 15: You'll have more police and you'll be so happy because 404 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 15: you'll be a safe. 405 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 3: A Democrat strategist who lives in DC says this is nuts. 406 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 11: DC crime was at a thirty year low last year. 407 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:22,919 Speaker 4: This year it's. 408 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 9: Down twenty four percent from that historical low, so clearly 409 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 9: dizey crime is in a better place. 410 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 3: Australian Federal Opposition leader Susan Lay has criticized Elbow's decision 411 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 3: to recognize the state of Palestine. Foreign Minister Pennywong has 412 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 3: acknowledged that the Palestinian authority does have some problems, but 413 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 3: she says that's no reason not to recognize them as 414 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 3: a nation. 415 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 16: There's a lot of reform for the Palestinian authority which 416 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 16: is required. We are clear eyed about that success is 417 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,479 Speaker 16: not guaranteed. That success never comes from just doing the 418 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 16: same thing over and over again and hoping for a 419 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 16: different outcome. 420 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 3: And finally, SpongeBob SquarePants, if you're wondering one of the 421 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 3: biggest nuclear power plants in France has been shut down 422 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 3: by a swarm of jellyfish. The plant shut down automatically 423 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 3: when the jellyfish swam into a pumping station and jammed 424 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 3: the reactor's cooling system. Believe it or not, this kind 425 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 3: of thing happens to coastal nuclear plants all of the time, 426 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 3: so scientists have been working on a jellyfish early warning system. 427 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance Peace of Mind 428 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business. 429 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 3: Murrayols Losy correspondents with US. 430 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 9: He mus get either, I tell you who likes talking 431 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 9: to Taylor Swift and that would be her back manager. 432 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 3: Oh what bet ay? Because you know, regardless of what billions, 433 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 3: you can't criticize the woman's ability to make a coin 434 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 3: that takes a special talent, doesn't it. 435 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 13: Now? 436 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 3: Okay, what's Susan Laih's argument about Palestine. 437 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 9: Well, it's it's kind of like it's a bit specious. 438 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 9: And you know I say that, and you know I'm 439 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 9: a labor voter. It just seems a bit odd because 440 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 9: it's been Coalition policy for years, for since John Howard 441 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 9: for over twenty years, that there has to be a 442 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 9: two state solutions. Okay, but when when it's never going 443 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 9: to be early enough for Israel. I mean, I'm sorry, 444 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 9: late enough for Israel. Israel doesn't certainly under Benjamin Yahoo. 445 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 9: So Susan Lee says it's premature. She's also I've just 446 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 9: got some quotes here. Susan Lee says, Albanezi has gone 447 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 9: early and he's out of his depth. Scott Morrison, former 448 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 9: Prime minister, it's a hollow gesture. Josh Friedenberg at one 449 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 9: point astraight as leading Jewish politician. He of course was 450 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 9: tipped to be the Prime minister after Scott Morris until 451 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 9: he lost his seat. He says, it's a logical because 452 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 9: you're rewarding a terrorist organization that committed everyone acknowledges the 453 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 9: most egregious, horrendous crime on October seven. There's no disputing that. 454 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 9: But as Petty Woma said, and the clip you're played, 455 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 9: when do you start to change the narrative because it's 456 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 9: not going to change anytime soon unless you do a 457 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 9: little proud weird the National's leader, you're giving dessert to 458 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,199 Speaker 9: the children before vegetables, which, given the state of the 459 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 9: food supply and gaza properly is a little bit. 460 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 3: Do they not have a point though? Ms Because the 461 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 3: state of Palestine has been put forward as a solution 462 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 3: to the food crisis at the moment, how does that 463 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 3: fix what's going on right now? I mean, surely the 464 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 3: solution to the food crisis is more aid, not a 465 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 3: state of Palestine. 466 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 9: You're getting more aid in of course, you know, but 467 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 9: Israel keeps resisting that, right, I mean, yeah, isn't Israel 468 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,959 Speaker 9: resisting that the Israeli US food distribution plan that's been 469 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 9: in place with what three months or more, that's just 470 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 9: not working. And you know, of course we dispute the figures, 471 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:47,959 Speaker 9: the Hamas figures according to the people who support Israel, 472 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 9: all the figures about dead children, dead mums. You know, 473 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 9: there's a stat came out today. You may have seen this, 474 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 9: I'm sure you have. In fact, Unse says there's a 475 00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 9: classroom of Palestinian kids getting killed every day, and that 476 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 9: just as you can't I mean, Israel's losing the pr wars. 477 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 9: There are millions of friends of Israel and Australia. I 478 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 9: bet there are in New Zealand, but Hell's bells. When 479 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 9: you look at what's happening there, you just say, well, 480 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,400 Speaker 9: when's it going to be right? You know what I mean? Yeah, 481 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 9: it's a tough question here. 482 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 3: I think we all feel pretty helpless watching this happen. Now, 483 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 3: how are you feeling about that RBA cut? 484 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,679 Speaker 9: That's pretty good, yeah, but widely expected. I mean, you know, 485 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 9: a third of Australians have a mortgage, a third rent, 486 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 9: and a third ow in their own places. So the 487 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 9: Reserve Bank it did cut interest rates today five of 488 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 9: one percent, so down to three point six percent for 489 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 9: the official cash rate the Australian dollar. Anticipated that it 490 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 9: was sixty five and change sixty five point two the 491 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 9: decision back in July they kept the rate on hold. 492 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 9: Are the interest rate on hold? And that despite a 493 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 9: different inflation and evidence that jobs growth was slowing significantly, 494 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 9: and it did so. Look right now today inflation appears 495 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 9: to be under control. The jobless numbers are rising, you know, modestly, 496 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 9: it must be said. And some people even were saying 497 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 9: there could be a cut of point three five percent 498 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 9: down to three and a half, and a lot of 499 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 9: people were saying, can you just make it even please? 500 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 9: Three and a half three point two five three Because 501 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 9: those of us who are mathematically challenged look suffice to say. 502 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 9: She's a very very able woman, Michelle Bullock. She is 503 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 9: the boss of the Reserve Bank of Australia. And at 504 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 9: about forty five minutes time, she'll be standing up Unusually, 505 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 9: this didn't happen until her reign and she'll be holding 506 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 9: a full on news conference to explain exactly what's happened 507 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 9: and the reasons behind it. 508 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 3: Brilliant stuff, Marz, thank you so much. As always, Murray 509 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 3: Old's Australia correspondent on that business of Trump and Washington, DC. 510 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 3: So what is perplexing about what he's just done with 511 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 3: the National Guard is as as people are saying, in fact, 512 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 3: everything is trending down when it comes to crime. So 513 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 3: violent crime overall, I'll just give you the stats, right, 514 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 3: Violent crime overall is down twenty six percent this year. 515 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 3: Robbery is down to twenty eight percent this year. Murder 516 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 3: rate is down twelve percent this year. Carjackings are down. 517 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 3: So far this year they've recorded one hundred and eighty 518 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 3: nine carjacking offenses, but the same period last year was 519 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 3: three hundred carjacking offenses. So if he was going to 520 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 3: be upset about it at any stage, he should have 521 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 3: been last year, not this year, because this year is 522 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 3: looking quite good. Actually, Barry Soaper is with us next 523 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 3: sixteen Away from. 524 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 1: Five Politics with Centrics Credit, check your customers and get payments, certainty. 525 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 3: Barry Soaper, senior political correspondents with US Now, Barry, Hello, 526 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 3: good afternoon. Okay, So run us through what's happened in 527 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 3: parliament Regaza. 528 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 17: Well, you know, a lot of rhetoric and a lot 529 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 17: of fairly fierce rhetoric in parliament, which is to be 530 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 17: expected because people hold very strong views either way. But 531 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 17: you know, the thing that interests me is that this 532 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 17: question of recognition of Palestine, is that going to stop 533 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 17: the war. Are they going to finally put down the arms? 534 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 17: Hummus and say, look, oh they've recognized so that's good. 535 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,199 Speaker 17: They can send it as a badge of honor if 536 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 17: they did, do you no. 537 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 3: In fact anything, If anything, it's actually prolonging the war 538 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 3: because Comas has now come out, since this has blown up, 539 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 3: has come out and said we will not lay down 540 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 3: arms until we get a stated, So it's actually given. 541 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 17: I think we're all getting sidetracked. And I see Alan 542 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,919 Speaker 17: Clark was at the guards a border with Mary Robinson, 543 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 17: the former President of Ireland and I admire Clark for 544 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 17: going there. She wanted to see firsthand just how bad 545 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 17: the situation was. But she had to go at New 546 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 17: Zealand for it. She said, this is not the New Zealand. 547 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 17: I know recognition, she said, coupling, coudling, She called it 548 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 17: right back up to Washington, d C. So she's saying 549 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 17: we're playing a wait and see game to see Washington 550 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 17: and to see how they responded by recognizing we could 551 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,679 Speaker 17: upset Donald Trump. And part of that I guess is 552 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 17: could be true. So the Greens co leader Chloe Swarbreck, 553 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 17: she was in the thick of it in Parliament today 554 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 17: during question time she was far in questions at the 555 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 17: Prime Minister. But it was the Palestinian scarf that she 556 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 17: had neatly covering her seat in the debating chamber that 557 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 17: ex David Seymour took a pence at Lester's figure. 558 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 18: I join your attention to the member who has just 559 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 18: resumed her seat, which is adorned with a Palestinian scarf, 560 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 18: and I'd want you to consider what this House might 561 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 18: look like if everybody who had an interest in a 562 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 18: global conflict started adorning their seats with symbols of one 563 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,919 Speaker 18: side or the other of a conflict. I think that 564 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 18: would bring the house into disrepute. 565 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,880 Speaker 5: You make a very good point, Actually, I think I've 566 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 5: been willing to accept that if people were wearing something 567 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 5: that did not particularly Oh here we go. Good, Okay, 568 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 5: we'll stay warm, we'll move on. 569 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 3: Now she's wrapped it around there. 570 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 17: So yeah, she took it off the seat, wrapped it 571 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 17: around her shoulders, as were all the other Green members 572 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 17: with Palestinian scarves draping their shoulders, all in different colors, 573 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 17: not just the black and white today. So that was interesting. 574 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 17: But look, after questions would with a speaker, brownly allowed 575 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 17: a debate on the recognition of Palestine, and that was 576 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 17: moved by Labour's toe Henade. I keep saying toe. 577 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 3: I knew it when I raally onset. 578 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 17: Yeah, exactly after Hanare and Winston Peters had the essay, 579 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 17: as you're about to hear, Swarbrick was back on her 580 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 17: feet and incurred the wrath of the speaker. 581 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 19: The warrant Gaza has killed so many and created the 582 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 19: humanitarian crisis which greets us. 583 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 2: Every morning we open our eyes. 584 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 19: Recognition, we believe is a necessary step towards ending the 585 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 19: cycle of violence. 586 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 5: We are witnessing. 587 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 19: What we're seeing from this government is an activity and 588 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 19: sadly walking blissfully into the sunset of ignorance for. 589 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 20: The Labor Party's benefit. They had fifteen years to recognize 590 00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 20: Palestine's statehood. I had hewn o'clock this morning. Well, she 591 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 20: was a prime minister from ninety nine to two thousand 592 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 20: and eight. Did you do that then? 593 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 21: No? 594 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 20: And then twenty seventeen to twenty twenty three they had 595 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 20: the second chance, and mister Hopkins was. 596 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 4: There as well to do that. Then did they do it? 597 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 22: No? 598 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 4: Six years? 599 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:19,360 Speaker 9: No, missus Speaker. 600 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 12: I will reiterate my poll for the government to pick 601 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 12: up our Unlawful Occupation of Palestine Sanctions Bill and to 602 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 12: sanction Israel for its war crimes. If we find sex 603 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 12: of sixty eight government MP's with a spine, we can 604 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,360 Speaker 12: stand on the right side of history. 605 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 5: That is completely unacceptable. To make that statement withdrawn and apologize. 606 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 5: N then leave the house for the rest of the week. 607 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 17: So she's got a week off. 608 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 3: So offensive about what she says. 609 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 17: Well, I've got to say I've heard many more eventsive 610 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 17: things in Parliament, don't. 611 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 3: Well brookvn Feld and dropped the sea. 612 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:57,719 Speaker 4: Ball the week. 613 00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 17: It's exactly right, but I think, you know, Jerry was 614 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 17: a It was a pretty fierce debate, but you know, 615 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 17: I think she came out of Parliament and she said, 616 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 17: I think he was a bit heavy handed, and I 617 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 17: think he probably was on this occasion. I meant to 618 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 17: call MP spinalers. You're meant to call them honorable members 619 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 17: when you're in the debating chamber, and of course you 620 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 17: don't think that, but you're not meant to say what 621 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 17: you think in that place. So she sort of incurred 622 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 17: the wrath and is now on holiday for the rest 623 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 17: of the week. 624 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 3: Barry, really quickly, what do you make of the poll? 625 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 3: There's a little update from the Taxpayers Union, isn't that? 626 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 23: Yeah? 627 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 17: And there'll probably be more of this on TVNZ tonight 628 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 17: because they always follow up these poles. And it comes 629 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 17: as no surprise at all really that, you know, growing 630 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 17: the economy it got minus three percent, reducing costs for 631 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 17: household minus thirty nine percent, managing national accounts and to 632 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 17: get them back into surplus minus one, creating joles minus 633 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 17: thirty three and wasteful spending reducing it minus four. 634 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 3: So this is the government's scorecard, according to votors. 635 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 17: Yes, I was going to say that that everything is 636 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 17: in the negative. That won't come as good news to 637 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 17: the government, but it won't come as any surprise because 638 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 17: they know and we know the economy. Stupid is the 639 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 17: problem here. 640 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, Barry, thanks very much, really appreciate it.

If 645 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 24: you see it, does the whole town see it? In 646 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 24: other words, as the whole ways booming? 647 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 8: It is you're seeing real gross down here. At the 648 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 8: moment it went, it's been vibrant and we've got lots 649 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 8: of international visitors coming in, which is great to see. 650 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 24: What's your vibe in terms of it's too busy, it's 651 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 24: too full. 652 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 8: We don't think that. What do we think the is 653 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 8: room for growth here? I mean, we're investing significantly in 654 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,959 Speaker 8: our infrastructure at Skyline. We know other tourism operators are 655 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 8: doing the same. We believe there's probably an assistance from 656 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 8: the government required in terms of traffic congestion, but there 657 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 8: is great. 658 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 24: Here back tomorrow at six am the Mike Hosking Breakfast 659 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 24: with Maylee's Real Estate News talk Zby. 660 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 3: Listen, I just the whole taxpayer's Curier poll.

So stand by and we'll get through 669 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 3: this in the next hour or so, four away from five. 670 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 3: Do you want to hear how easily Chippy tells Fipps. 671 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 3: It's unbelievable. 672 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 4: Ah. 673 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 3: So he was on radio this morning and he was 674 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 3: defending Willow jen Prime for ghosting Erica Stanford's invitations for 675 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 3: a meeting, and he said it was all good when 676 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 3: he got involved because he's such a hero. Have listened. 677 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 9: Well, as soon as I found out about that, Willow 678 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 9: Jean Prime did go back to eric Is Stanford and 679 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 9: ask for the meeting. 680 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 3: Eric Stanford then came back and said, no, sorry, it's 681 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 3: too late. That's not what happened. As soon as he 682 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 3: got involved with it. Willow jen Prime did not ask 683 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 3: Erica Stanford for the meeting. What happened was, as soon 684 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 3: as he got involved, Willow gen Prime declined the invitation 685 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 3: for the meeting. It wasn't until about three weeks later 686 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 3: that Willow Jean Prime finally wrote back to Eric and say, Okay, 687 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 3: have the meeting now, and Erica's like, ah, no, bro, 688 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 3: decisions have already been made. But the point of this 689 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 3: is not to rehearse the whole thing. It's simply to 690 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 3: point out to you Chippy has a real phibby problem, mate, 691 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 3: Like it's I mean, I know all politicians like to 692 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 3: guild the lily, but Chippy is Chippy's taking this to 693 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 3: a new level of just like he has borderline on 694 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,479 Speaker 3: the L word. I'm not allowed to say the L 695 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 3: word too often because I can get sued for defamation. 696 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 3: I'm lying is the word. By the way I can 697 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 3: get suited for defamation also makes me sound like I'm 698 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 3: too hard of a bird, and I you know, I 699 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 3: want you to think I'm a little bit nice. So 700 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 3: I'm just skirting that word and I'm calling it fibbing. 701 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 3: But that boy can tell a poor kier. He's got 702 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 3: a nice smiley face, looks real friendly and stuff. You 703 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 3: got old butterwoodn't mouted on Chippy.

Newstalks 'b. 709 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 1: Questions, answers, facts analysis, the drive show you trust for 710 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 1: the full picture. Heather Dupussy on Drive with One New 711 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 1: Zealand Let's Get Connected News Talks dB. 712 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 3: Good afternoon. There are reports that Shane Jones is investigating 713 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 3: whether he can or should rationale gas supply to keep 714 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 3: certain businesses going. Now this comes after Balance lost its 715 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 3: gas supply to Contact Energy so that Contact Energy could 716 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 3: supply homes. Shane Jones is the Associate Minister of Energy 717 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 3: and with us right now. 718 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 23: Hey Shane, Hey, gooda good afternoon. 719 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 3: Are you seriously considering rationing. 720 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,280 Speaker 23: We've taken some advice as to how we can dedicate 721 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 23: the gas to the most important purpose from Andy Knight 722 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,839 Speaker 23: at the gas company and our MB officials. Naturally, there's 723 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 23: a lot of resistance to the idea of the crown 724 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 23: replacing the market. But I've got to tell you, with 725 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 23: the gas plummeting and the ability of gent tailors to 726 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 23: burn more coal, we don't want to see them profiting 727 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 23: from too much gas at the cost of ordinary key 728 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 23: weis who are really living in grim circumstances in relation 729 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:42,800 Speaker 23: to their business life. 730 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 3: Are you considering banning new gas connections on new builds. 731 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 23: No, No, I'm aware that there is a proposal to 732 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 23: transition people in their homes away from gas to solar energy, 733 00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 23: and they've done that in aussy and that should be 734 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 23: looked at. But I'm not in the business of banning 735 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 23: any gas experience. That was my unfortunate acquiescence six years ago, 736 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,320 Speaker 23: and hopefully you realize I've paid my penance. 737 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 3: Okay, So what happens if you do get into the 738 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,320 Speaker 3: rationing business. What happens to people who need gas to 739 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:15,320 Speaker 3: run their stoves? 740 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,839 Speaker 23: Well, let's just step back. The first thing is we're 741 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 23: going to deploy some of this two hundred million dollars 742 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 23: in the short term to accelerate the delivery of gas 743 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 23: amongst those limited number of companies that are still sinking 744 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,240 Speaker 23: wells in Taranaky and can increase the amount of gas. 745 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 23: The bigger problem, however, is that the gas decline is 746 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 23: continuing down inexorably. Trying we are trying to work with 747 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 23: firms to transition them onto electricity. But I got to 748 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 23: tell you, Heather, the electricity prices are still stupendously high 749 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 23: and that won't change until we obtained the animal spirits 750 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 23: in the gentile pertually. 751 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,360 Speaker 3: But listen, Shane, answer that question for me. If you 752 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 3: decide to ration and you give it to business ahead 753 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 3: of consumers who live in houses, what happens to the 754 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,319 Speaker 3: houses that need to run gas through their stoves? What 755 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:02,759 Speaker 3: do they do? 756 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,320 Speaker 23: No, we're not We're not making any blunt decisions. For example, 757 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 23: we've got hospitals and schools that it dependent on gas. 758 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 23: So no, no, no, we're not going to make any 759 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 23: blunt decisions. We're going to first make sure that we've 760 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 23: got high quality advice and what is actually doable. And 761 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 23: that's why I would turn to arguably the cleverest man 762 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 23: about gas in New Zealand and the CEO of the gas. 763 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 3: Company Listen, is this thermal co idea goer for you? 764 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 23: Well, it originally started, I'm told, with Contact Energy before 765 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 23: I had the portfolio, and well, you know, we've got 766 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 23: to move through the various options that the officials will 767 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 23: provide to us, and we haven't got to that point. 768 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 23: But the mixed views about it. One view is that 769 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 23: the Crown is absorbing the detritus of the gent tailors 770 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 23: will lay swell off and make more money, but that 771 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,400 Speaker 23: won't be happening. Their glory days are over. And the 772 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,360 Speaker 23: other is if we need gas and coal, it's probably 773 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,799 Speaker 23: a good idea to ensure that we have our own 774 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,920 Speaker 23: reserves of coal rather than just bringing it in from Indonesia. 775 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 23: And if we're going to get more gas either imported 776 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 23: or extracted from our own land, then the government needs 777 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,320 Speaker 23: to have an integrally involved in that to keep the 778 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:14,240 Speaker 23: lights on, right. 779 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 3: Shane, thanks for your time, Shane Jones, The Associate Minister of. 780 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,760 Speaker 4: Energy, Heather due for the Allen. 781 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,800 Speaker 3: The government is defending its decision to take its time 782 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,800 Speaker 3: on the recognition of a Palestinian state. There are reports 783 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 3: it's being held up by coalition disagreements. David Seymour is 784 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 3: the Deputy Prime Minister and the ACT Party lead down 785 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 3: with us. Now, hey, David, is it really coalition disagreements 786 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:35,400 Speaker 3: or is it simply that all of you guys are 787 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:36,799 Speaker 3: on board with taking your time here. 788 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,360 Speaker 25: Well, first of all, the only person saying that is 789 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,800 Speaker 25: Chris Hipkins. Chris Hipkins doesn't know what's happening in cabinet, 790 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 25: mainly because the voters ejected him from that room for 791 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,239 Speaker 25: being a bit useless. Quite frankly, the truth is that 792 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 25: the government is taking its time. Some people say this 793 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 25: conflict goes back four thousand years. I don't think it's 794 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 25: a major problem for the government of New Zealand on 795 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 25: the other side of the world to take a few 796 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 25: weeks to come to a sober and sensible decision where 797 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:12,040 Speaker 25: we know where we stand and also have thought through 798 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,960 Speaker 25: things like what happens next. Because I can understand people 799 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 25: who are affected by the emotion of seeing these grotesque 800 00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 25: scenes and terrible things that are happening. We understand that, 801 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,399 Speaker 25: but the question is what do you do about it? 802 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 25: And I believe going to come to a very good 803 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 25: position as a government that upholds New Zealand's tradition as 804 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 25: a country of independent and thoughtful foreign policy, seen as 805 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 25: an honest broker in the world. 806 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,839 Speaker 3: Okay, what is the argument for not doing it in 807 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 3: September with everybody? 808 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 25: Well, we may very well do that if we go 809 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 25: through the discussions we have planned and get to a 810 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 25: position by then. But again I think there's this enormous 811 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 25: onus of everybody must do something. It almost doesn't matter 812 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 25: what the truth is that these kinds of awful conflicts 813 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:06,360 Speaker 25: occur because people are ruled by their passions instead of 814 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,320 Speaker 25: thinking carefully about how they'd like the world to work. 815 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,200 Speaker 25: Now we will get to a place where our government 816 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 25: can hand on hearts say that we are thinking carefully 817 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 25: about all of the different sides and their objectives and 818 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,279 Speaker 25: the challenges they face and why they are in the 819 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:27,359 Speaker 25: place they're in, rather than trying to almost prove our 820 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,840 Speaker 25: own moral superiority over each other, which the likes of 821 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 25: Chloe Swarbrock have just been doing getting kicked out of Parliament. 822 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 3: For David, Thanks very much for your time, David seymore deepity, Prime. 823 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 4: Minister Heather Duplessy, Allen some good news. 824 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 3: On what's going on in this country. I suppose this 825 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:44,719 Speaker 3: can be kind of a marker of what's going on 826 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 3: the Codrona hotel. People have had so much interest in 827 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,400 Speaker 3: selling their hotel they've narrowed it down to an exclusive 828 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 3: group that they're negotiating within that group of still eight groups, 829 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,719 Speaker 3: so they have got they've had that much interest that 830 00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 3: when they narrowed it down, thus still dealing with eight 831 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 3: different potential buyers. They reckon that they have had interest 832 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,879 Speaker 3: from locally, so there's enough money here to be able 833 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,360 Speaker 3: to buy it. They've had interest from Australia, they've had 834 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,800 Speaker 3: interests from the US, and they've had interests from Singapore. 835 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,440 Speaker 3: They say a sale announcement on that hotel is expected 836 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,160 Speaker 3: in the coming weeks, and good luck to them. Fourteen 837 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,160 Speaker 3: past five. You know what's hard. What's hard at supporting 838 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,200 Speaker 3: loved ones when you're not physically there. And that is 839 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 3: why I love that my food Bag has launched a 840 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 3: gifting service.

So just headlong to the shop 853 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,879 Speaker 3: section on my food bag dot co dot NZ. 854 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 4: Heather do for Sea Allen hither. 855 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 3: We are unfortunate enough to be in a house that 856 00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,840 Speaker 3: is gas hot water, gas heating and gas cooking. Not 857 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 3: sure how we would afford to transition off. This is 858 00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 3: the trouble. Even though Shane Jones played that down just 859 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,479 Speaker 3: then a you notice that he was like, ah, nothing, Cavin, 860 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,480 Speaker 3: but listen, we are running out of gas as a country. 861 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,239 Speaker 3: We're not gonna get more gas, and if we do 862 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,279 Speaker 3: get more gases not happening in the next decade. So 863 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,120 Speaker 3: if you have got the gas connections which I have. 864 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,920 Speaker 3: Start thinking about what you're going to do, Start saving 865 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,839 Speaker 3: your pennies. I think seventeen past five. Now the new 866 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 3: America's Cup Protocol has beneficially signed and there are some 867 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,839 Speaker 3: big changes here. Grinders and cyclers are gone. There will 868 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,040 Speaker 3: only be five crew members per boat, and every team 869 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,560 Speaker 3: must include at least one female sailor. David Blakey is 870 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,319 Speaker 3: commodore of the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron and with us. 871 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,879 Speaker 4: Now, hey David, hi Heather, how are you? 872 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:50,880 Speaker 3: I'm very well, thank you. Now, will you admit that 873 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:54,239 Speaker 3: the token woman is definitely Grant Dalton screwing the scrum 874 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:55,760 Speaker 3: because he's got a great token woman. 875 00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 26: No, absolutely not. One of the successes of the Life 876 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,320 Speaker 26: Last event was having both a youth and the women's 877 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,719 Speaker 26: America's Cup. And what this does is creates a pathway 878 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,480 Speaker 26: for our talented young female sailors to go all the 879 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 26: way and be able to compete on the America's Cup 880 00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:11,960 Speaker 26: boats themselves. 881 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,880 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, so is the ladies there for a pathway? 882 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 25: Is she? 883 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:17,000 Speaker 9: No? 884 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:21,080 Speaker 26: Well, as I say, creates a place for aspiring young 885 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 26: sailors to be able to participate in the boat itself. 886 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,600 Speaker 26: And one of the questions we got asked today does 887 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 26: that mean potentially in the future you could have a 888 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,840 Speaker 26: boat crewed solely by a woman. And the potential is 889 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:32,480 Speaker 26: indeed there. 890 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,719 Speaker 3: David, do you reckon you've I wasn't planning to do this, 891 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,600 Speaker 3: but now you've opened it up. Do you reckon? Have 892 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,279 Speaker 3: we taken all of the physical strength stuff out of 893 00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,960 Speaker 3: this so women can compete fairly against men in. 894 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,720 Speaker 26: This Well, that depends on whether the technology goes hither. 895 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,640 Speaker 26: What you will have noticed today is the cycles are 896 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,920 Speaker 26: no longer on the boat. That's created more place for 897 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:57,240 Speaker 26: sailors to get on the boat. But they're extremely powerful 898 00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,719 Speaker 26: machines and they require a lot of skill to sail. 899 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,200 Speaker 26: Going to come down to a combination, as it always does, 900 00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:05,239 Speaker 26: between the technology and the skill of the sailors. Ultimately 901 00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 26: it's going to determine who wins. 902 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:08,480 Speaker 3: Okay. And one of the rules is that what you're 903 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,520 Speaker 3: allowed to foreigners on your boat? Is that right? 904 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:11,800 Speaker 4: That's correct? 905 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,400 Speaker 3: Okay? So is that allowing what does that allow us 906 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 3: to do? 907 00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:21,399 Speaker 26: So that that that allows a team to have two 908 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 26: non nationals on their boat. So so two crews from 909 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,279 Speaker 26: not not from their home nation on the boat. So 910 00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 26: and and that that's particularly helpful to to new teams 911 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:35,799 Speaker 26: who want to enter the Event's rule Well it's not 912 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,400 Speaker 26: the Peter Burley rule, but but it you know, opens 913 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,000 Speaker 26: up the possibility for people to be able to sail 914 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,920 Speaker 26: and other teams, particularly the newer ones that want to 915 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 26: get established. 916 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,239 Speaker 3: Hey, why do we get rid of the grinders and 917 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:46,840 Speaker 3: the cyclists? 918 00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,839 Speaker 26: A couple of reasons. So one was to take weight 919 00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,640 Speaker 26: out of the boat and and change the way that 920 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:55,400 Speaker 26: they're sailed. 921 00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:56,920 Speaker 27: So you're you're. 922 00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,640 Speaker 26: Bringing in more of the new technology around batteries to 923 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,360 Speaker 26: to to make it easier for them to sail, and 924 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:06,760 Speaker 26: to adjust the sales and the trim of the foils 925 00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,919 Speaker 26: on the boat while they're sailing. And as I mentioned earlier, 926 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,800 Speaker 26: it enables us to have more people on the boat itself, 927 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,839 Speaker 26: so more people actually sailing the boat, which I think 928 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:17,160 Speaker 26: was one of the bits of feedback that we had 929 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,480 Speaker 26: from the previous adventors. People would like to see more 930 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 26: people actually sailing the boat rather than necessarily just powering it. 931 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, fair enough, David, Hey, thanks very much for talking 932 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,720 Speaker 3: us through to appreciate it. David Blakie, Royal New Zealand 933 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,920 Speaker 3: Yacht Squadron Commodore. By the way, the token woman is 934 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,280 Speaker 3: called Live Mackay. I mean she's actually a really good sailor, 935 00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,759 Speaker 3: so she deserves to be named Live MacKaye is the woman. 936 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,600 Speaker 3: We have got a bit of a problem. If you've 937 00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,920 Speaker 3: been following what's been going on with hell Morton Hospital, 938 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:41,879 Speaker 3: you'll know a couple of guys who are in hell 939 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,719 Speaker 3: Molton Hospital with the mental health problems got out and 940 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,440 Speaker 3: killed people. Just had an inquiry into it. We'll have 941 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,279 Speaker 3: the results for you. We'll talk it through with Health 942 00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,640 Speaker 3: New Zealand after half past five twenty one. 943 00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 1: Checking the point of the story, it's hither duplicy Ellen 944 00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,280 Speaker 1: drive with one New Zealand. 945 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:00,160 Speaker 4: Let's get connected these. 946 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:04,480 Speaker 3: Dogs, they'd be five twenty three so unhappy to report 947 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,000 Speaker 3: to you that it looks like some of us want 948 00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 3: to play the old should Luxe and be rolled game. 949 00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,319 Speaker 3: In the wake of the not so great polls that 950 00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,640 Speaker 3: came out yesterday, there is a column by Andrea Vants, 951 00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:14,880 Speaker 3: who I am name checking because she's good and credible 952 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,359 Speaker 3: and not just some junior reporter with an opinion. In 953 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,560 Speaker 3: her column, she predicts that Luxon is in trouble, that 954 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:25,160 Speaker 3: his caucus is getting impatient, that speculation about his leadership 955 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,600 Speaker 3: has reached fever pitch, and that if it doesn't improve, 956 00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:29,520 Speaker 3: she is not sure that he's going to be the 957 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,360 Speaker 3: one leading the National Party at the election election this 958 00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:37,120 Speaker 3: time next year. Now, if this is really what National 959 00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,160 Speaker 3: MPs are considering, they should ditch that idea immediately because 960 00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 3: Luxin's not their problem. I mean, he is a problem, 961 00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,760 Speaker 3: there's no debate that, with personal popularity setting at about 962 00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,240 Speaker 3: twenty percent, he is a drag on the National Party. 963 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,960 Speaker 3: But he is not their actual problem. Their actual problem 964 00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,560 Speaker 3: is that the economy is stuffed and that they haven't 965 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:56,520 Speaker 3: yet figured out what to do to fix it, even 966 00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,000 Speaker 3: though they've had eighteen months. And it really doesn't matter 967 00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,960 Speaker 3: who the leader is, whether it's Nicola or Chris Buship 968 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 3: or Erica or Mark Mitchell or Golden Balls, it doesn't matter. 969 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,680 Speaker 3: They still will not have a plan for the economy. 970 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:10,040 Speaker 8: Now. 971 00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,360 Speaker 3: If they're worried about their polling right now, they should 972 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:16,279 Speaker 3: try playing the game of musical leadership leadership musical chairs 973 00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,600 Speaker 3: and see what happens to their polling then, because they're 974 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,160 Speaker 3: still not going to have a plan for the economy. 975 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,080 Speaker 3: But then they'll also have voters feeling like it's the 976 00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,399 Speaker 3: shambles up the top of the beehive and not sure 977 00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:28,080 Speaker 3: what's going on there. Yes, they have a problem. Yes 978 00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:30,799 Speaker 3: you can see it in the polls. So fix it. 979 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,360 Speaker 3: Come up with a solution, Come up with a credible 980 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,320 Speaker 3: plan for fixing the economy now and into the future. 981 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,920 Speaker 3: That is where the NATS should be directing their energy, 982 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:43,120 Speaker 3: not into undermining Chris Luxen together. So I told you 983 00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,799 Speaker 3: earlier that Laura the producer, had managed to get a 984 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:47,920 Speaker 3: hold of the entire bundle of what's going on in 985 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,560 Speaker 3: the taxpayers Union Curier Pole, and we've been told to 986 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:52,520 Speaker 3: get a hold of it because apparently the wrong track 987 00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,960 Speaker 3: right track is fascinating. Well, it's fascinating in that it's dire. 988 00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,800 Speaker 3: It's just dire. This is where people get asked, quite simply, 989 00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:01,400 Speaker 3: do you think that the country is headed in the 990 00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,400 Speaker 3: right direction or in the wrong direction? Because what that 991 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,360 Speaker 3: takes into account is yet, it might be a bit 992 00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:08,600 Speaker 3: shite right now, but as long as it's headed in 993 00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,319 Speaker 3: the right direction, you've got confidence. It's completely in the 994 00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,759 Speaker 3: wrong direction. Two thirds of people are saying it's headed 995 00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,440 Speaker 3: in the wrong direction. So it's a full thirty four 996 00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,320 Speaker 3: percent says yep, we're going in the right direction. Fifty 997 00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,880 Speaker 3: four percent say we're going in the wrong direction. So 998 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:23,839 Speaker 3: when you subtract one from the other, what you get 999 00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,600 Speaker 3: is a net negative of twenty one percent. Now, that 1000 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 3: is as bad as it's been. It's worse than it's 1001 00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,680 Speaker 3: been the entire time that these guys have been in government. 1002 00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,359 Speaker 3: It's as bad as i've It doesn't go back far 1003 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,440 Speaker 3: enough because we've only got we've only got it from 1004 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,000 Speaker 3: pretty much when they took over. So I don't know 1005 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,120 Speaker 3: what was going on under labor, but that's a really 1006 00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:42,960 Speaker 3: bad number, and I'd be surprised if it was any 1007 00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,440 Speaker 3: worse than that under labor. Anyway, that's their problem. And 1008 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,680 Speaker 3: as to you back up my claim that the economy 1009 00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,120 Speaker 3: is the issue here, they ask people as well, this 1010 00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 3: is the taxpayer's union, curier pole. They ask people, what 1011 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:55,959 Speaker 3: what is it that you are the most worried about. 1012 00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,000 Speaker 3: What's the thing that you're going to vote about? Vote 1013 00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:04,920 Speaker 3: on health ten percent, the treaty three percent, housing three percent, 1014 00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:08,239 Speaker 3: Law and order two percent, the economy and cost of 1015 00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:13,839 Speaker 3: living forty five percent, forty five percent, like look at 1016 00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,880 Speaker 3: the others. Right, it's two two percent, three percent, ten percent, 1017 00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:21,000 Speaker 3: the economy forty five percent. That is why these guys 1018 00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,279 Speaker 3: are getting punished, not only because the economy is bad, 1019 00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:24,960 Speaker 3: because they don't have a plan as well. Anyway, good 1020 00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,399 Speaker 3: luck to them, hopefully they can figure it out. Now 1021 00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,680 Speaker 3: the nappy case. I don't know if you've been following 1022 00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:35,040 Speaker 3: the Zuru case in the High Court, but it is fascinating. 1023 00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:38,840 Speaker 3: I reckon we've got more insight from this nappy case 1024 00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,160 Speaker 3: and to how the supermarkets work than we have from 1025 00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,360 Speaker 3: the grocery Commissioner. Anyway, I'm going to run you through that. 1026 00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,200 Speaker 3: Before six o'clock we got the Huddle standing by Garethuse 1027 00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 3: and Thomas Scriminger. And also let's talk next about what's 1028 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:59,640 Speaker 3: going on at Hill Morton News Talks. He'd been til 1029 00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:05,120 Speaker 3: fly twice. 1030 00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:07,400 Speaker 4: After making the news. The news makers talk to Heather first. 1031 00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:11,600 Speaker 1: It's Heather Duplicy Ellen Drive with One New Zealand let's 1032 00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 1: get connected news talk. 1033 00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:13,400 Speaker 4: Sa'd be. 1034 00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:24,720 Speaker 3: Huddle standing by. I'm going to run you through. Remember 1035 00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 3: I have to run you through what's going on with 1036 00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:29,200 Speaker 3: the Zoru nappy case. I think it's fascinating. Also, apparently 1037 00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,799 Speaker 3: one in five businesses made a loss last year. This 1038 00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,279 Speaker 3: is according to the IID. Now, that sounds like a lot, 1039 00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:36,640 Speaker 3: but that's actually not that unusual, which is quite good 1040 00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,000 Speaker 3: news given what we're going through as an economy. So 1041 00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,600 Speaker 3: we'll have a chat to Gareth Kennan of Informetrics after 1042 00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:43,920 Speaker 3: six about that. Twenty four away from six now, a 1043 00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:48,040 Speaker 3: scathing report has found significant failings with Canterbury mental health services. 1044 00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,400 Speaker 3: Two psychiatric patients have murdered innocent people in the community 1045 00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,600 Speaker 3: on two separate occasions. You had the case in twenty 1046 00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:57,080 Speaker 3: twenty two when the hill Morton Hospital in patients stabbed 1047 00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,600 Speaker 3: a woman outside her christ Church home while he was 1048 00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,759 Speaker 3: out on munity release. And then you had October last 1049 00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,800 Speaker 3: year or another one of the mental health patients, Elliott Cameron, 1050 00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:07,920 Speaker 3: murdered Fay Phelps in her garden. Phil Grady is the 1051 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,239 Speaker 3: National Director of Mental Health Service and Addictions at Health 1052 00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:11,760 Speaker 3: New Zealand. 1053 00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:15,160 Speaker 4: I fell, hey, Heather, Phil, why did. 1054 00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,960 Speaker 3: Your staff ignore Elliot Cameron's own warnings that he was 1055 00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:18,720 Speaker 3: going to kill again? 1056 00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:23,839 Speaker 27: Look first and foremost, this is a tragic circumstance where 1057 00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:27,920 Speaker 27: there has been two people killed in our community in Canterbury. 1058 00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,760 Speaker 27: What I will say is that I can't talk about, 1059 00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:35,120 Speaker 27: particularly around any findings related to Elliot Cameron because that 1060 00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:36,840 Speaker 27: is part of a coronial inquiry. 1061 00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:39,760 Speaker 3: Hold On, hold on, well, why does a coronial inquiry 1062 00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:41,160 Speaker 3: prevent you from talking about it? 1063 00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:42,200 Speaker 23: Look, the. 1064 00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:52,440 Speaker 27: Coroner has put non publication order against the report. But 1065 00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:56,560 Speaker 27: what I will say is that the internal report that 1066 00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:58,239 Speaker 27: we didn't that particular case. 1067 00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,160 Speaker 3: Okay, so he said you can't. They have said that 1068 00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:03,600 Speaker 3: you can't publish that. But have they said you can't 1069 00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:04,600 Speaker 3: talk about this at all? 1070 00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:07,600 Speaker 27: So there is a you know, there's all of the 1071 00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:13,000 Speaker 27: coronial requirements in relation to that. But what I can 1072 00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:14,560 Speaker 27: talk about is that I. 1073 00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:16,640 Speaker 3: Just want to just explain to me just before we 1074 00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,960 Speaker 3: move on, Explain to me, are you telling me that 1075 00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:23,839 Speaker 3: because of a coroner's order you cannot talk about this 1076 00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:25,640 Speaker 3: case at all? 1077 00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:27,320 Speaker 27: That that's why I'm telling you. 1078 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:29,560 Speaker 3: Year carry on then as you were. 1079 00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:33,000 Speaker 27: Yep, yes so. But look, today was released of the 1080 00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:36,600 Speaker 27: section ninety nine report from doctor John Corshaw from the 1081 00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,879 Speaker 27: Ministry of Health and look as how New Zealan look. 1082 00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:44,799 Speaker 27: We accept that the report has identified failings in some 1083 00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:48,960 Speaker 27: of the operation of the Caunterign Mental Health Service, except 1084 00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:53,800 Speaker 27: the findings in full and certainly welcome doctor Coreshaw. 1085 00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:56,920 Speaker 3: So what you're telling me is you agree with what 1086 00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:59,280 Speaker 3: he says. So what he says is that you guys 1087 00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,839 Speaker 3: do not have enough staff. And what makes that even 1088 00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:04,680 Speaker 3: worse is that even though you know you do not 1089 00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,480 Speaker 3: have enough staff, for some reason, management just don't say 1090 00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:09,279 Speaker 3: yes to hiring more staff. What's going on? 1091 00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:13,719 Speaker 27: Yeah, Look, so at the time October, sorry June and 1092 00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:16,719 Speaker 27: twenty twenty two, there were staffing issues, particularly in the 1093 00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,480 Speaker 27: forensic Mental Health service. But what I want to say 1094 00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,960 Speaker 27: to you is that the staffing of that service has increased, 1095 00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:25,960 Speaker 27: so there are more staff on the ground running that service. 1096 00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:29,600 Speaker 27: In fact, there are eleven percent more staff in that service, 1097 00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:33,680 Speaker 27: six percent more staff in the whole I increases in 1098 00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,759 Speaker 27: the whole of Canterbury mental health services. Have you got 1099 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,840 Speaker 27: enough round more staff on the ground? Look, there is 1100 00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:44,680 Speaker 27: an international challenges in recruiting mental health staff. They are 1101 00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:48,960 Speaker 27: a key engine for operating a mental health services, a service. 1102 00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:52,239 Speaker 27: We're focusing really hard as a country, but also on 1103 00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:57,759 Speaker 27: Canterbury around recruiting more psychiatrists and increasing that pipeline and 1104 00:52:57,800 --> 00:52:59,919 Speaker 27: that we can always use more. 1105 00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:02,360 Speaker 3: Okay, now, listen, I think what we all want to 1106 00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,120 Speaker 3: know about is the case obviously of Elliott Cameron and 1107 00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:08,000 Speaker 3: Faith helps. So do you know when this publication order 1108 00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,000 Speaker 3: is going to be lifted or when the coronial inquiry 1109 00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:10,760 Speaker 3: is actually happening? 1110 00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:15,520 Speaker 27: Look the coronial inquirement. We know the coronial inquiry process 1111 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,560 Speaker 27: takes time and I think either behind you or what 1112 00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:21,160 Speaker 27: question is? I think there's questions around why this happened 1113 00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:25,279 Speaker 27: and you know what learning there can be from it, 1114 00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,960 Speaker 27: but I just can't talk about it and the coronial 1115 00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:32,640 Speaker 27: process will work through. It's work through the coroner's process. 1116 00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,440 Speaker 3: All right, Phil listen, thanks very much, look forward to 1117 00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:36,160 Speaker 3: hearing what they've got to say at the coronial end. 1118 00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,760 Speaker 3: Phil Grady, National Director of the Mental Health and Addictions 1119 00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:41,120 Speaker 3: Service in Health New Zealand. 1120 00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:47,120 Speaker 1: The Huddle with New Zealand Southby's International Realty Unique Homes uniquely. 1121 00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,840 Speaker 3: For you coming up twenty away from six and on 1122 00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:50,920 Speaker 3: the huddle with us we have Gareth Hughes, director of 1123 00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,600 Speaker 3: the Well Being Economy Alliance out here Allway, former Green 1124 00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,239 Speaker 3: MP obviously and Thomas Scrimser of the Maximu Institute. Hire 1125 00:53:56,280 --> 00:54:01,200 Speaker 3: you two. Gareth, you see Shane Jones's considering rationing what 1126 00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,040 Speaker 3: gas we've got left. I mean that sounds desperate, doesn't it. 1127 00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:08,000 Speaker 28: Well, it's pretty odd thing for a government ministers to say. 1128 00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:10,560 Speaker 28: I mean, it's quite incredible to be in the situation. Look, 1129 00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:12,920 Speaker 28: I agree with Shane, probably not for the reason that 1130 00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,399 Speaker 28: he thinks so we should be rationing it because it's 1131 00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:18,440 Speaker 28: a fossil fuel. But it's ridiculous that we're in this 1132 00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:22,279 Speaker 28: situation where businesses are shutting down, people are potentially going 1133 00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:25,520 Speaker 28: out of work because of the problem, which has been 1134 00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:26,640 Speaker 28: a long time in the making. 1135 00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,840 Speaker 3: Is it a surprise to you, Garris, No, it's not. 1136 00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:32,840 Speaker 28: I mean people have been warning about this for decades, 1137 00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,560 Speaker 28: and this is why I think a responsible government would 1138 00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,480 Speaker 28: have acknowledged this is a sunset industry been trying to 1139 00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:40,799 Speaker 28: look at the most high value, most efficient use of 1140 00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:42,920 Speaker 28: the gas. Look, it's a real waste. If we're just 1141 00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,880 Speaker 28: burning this for electricity or using it at our homes, 1142 00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:46,560 Speaker 28: we'd better. 1143 00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:48,040 Speaker 23: To use it for now. 1144 00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,680 Speaker 3: You've got to stop working. I'm desperate not to. I'm 1145 00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:55,080 Speaker 3: desperate not to get into a fight with you, Thomas. 1146 00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:57,600 Speaker 28: More than just the measure there for government, even you know, 1147 00:54:57,600 --> 00:54:59,680 Speaker 28: the previous labor government have been rolling out salt of 1148 00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:02,160 Speaker 28: the panel. Some people, Oh, we probably wouldn't be in 1149 00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:03,520 Speaker 28: the fast you're asking for it. 1150 00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:05,960 Speaker 3: You're asking for it, Thomas, what do you think I mean? 1151 00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:10,399 Speaker 3: This is I feel like we need to accept there 1152 00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:12,120 Speaker 3: is no coming back from this. Is there like we 1153 00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:14,600 Speaker 3: are running out of gas. We have not got gas 1154 00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:17,560 Speaker 3: coming out. Probably rationing is the only sensible thing left 1155 00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:17,839 Speaker 3: to do. 1156 00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:19,120 Speaker 23: Well. 1157 00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:22,000 Speaker 29: Gareth was talking about finding the most high value and 1158 00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:25,720 Speaker 29: efficient use for the gas we have, which, as you mentioned, 1159 00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:29,160 Speaker 29: is highly limited. But we have a system for rationing 1160 00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:33,000 Speaker 29: and finding efficient use of resources. It's the price system. 1161 00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:36,040 Speaker 29: And so I guess my observation is that if businesses 1162 00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:40,759 Speaker 29: are getting outbids for gas on the open market against consumers, 1163 00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:44,480 Speaker 29: that's telling us something that the consumers need for the 1164 00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:48,840 Speaker 29: gas is higher than the businesses. Now, Gareth raised, I 1165 00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,560 Speaker 29: guess solar panels on the roof of every house. It's 1166 00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:56,080 Speaker 29: kind of misunderstanding where gas is used in the electricity 1167 00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:59,640 Speaker 29: generation market. It's used as a peaking when other sources 1168 00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:04,160 Speaker 29: are unavailable, and so currently the gas is providing a 1169 00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:08,440 Speaker 29: really important function in the consumer electricity market. So it's 1170 00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:10,719 Speaker 29: not the future of it, you know, It's not like 1171 00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,280 Speaker 29: we can it's not like we're looking like we're finding 1172 00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:16,200 Speaker 29: much more gas if we go exploring, but at the 1173 00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:17,520 Speaker 29: moment it's still pretty crucial. 1174 00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:19,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, Gareth, I need to ask you this question, right 1175 00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:23,480 Speaker 3: because I just I don't always understand how greenheads work. 1176 00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,480 Speaker 3: So is this what you guys wanted? I mean, what 1177 00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,799 Speaker 3: you've got is you have got gas running out and 1178 00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:33,120 Speaker 3: that's the ideal, but the reality is that we're replacing 1179 00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:35,279 Speaker 3: it with coal. How do you feel about that? 1180 00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:36,319 Speaker 10: Oh? 1181 00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:38,520 Speaker 28: I feel terrible about it. It should not have happened. 1182 00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:41,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, what should have happened instead? Though, because this is 1183 00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,680 Speaker 3: the only way that peaking works, well. 1184 00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:46,160 Speaker 28: We should have had a proper just transition to look 1185 00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:49,200 Speaker 28: after those workers and actually transition. And the problem is 1186 00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:51,880 Speaker 28: we've got a crazy electricity market that even you know. 1187 00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:53,799 Speaker 28: I agree with Shane Jones on this point, the fact 1188 00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:58,160 Speaker 28: that we're deindustrializing because of our super expensive electricity, where 1189 00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:01,360 Speaker 28: gas is setting up the marginal price, the expensive price. 1190 00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:05,080 Speaker 28: I think successive governments have failed to unlock what is 1191 00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:07,799 Speaker 28: cheaper electricity. You look around the world, keeper investing in 1192 00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:10,680 Speaker 28: wind and solar because it's cheaper, but we haven't taken 1193 00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:11,440 Speaker 28: advantage of that. 1194 00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:14,520 Speaker 3: People are investing in wind and solar because they don't 1195 00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:16,680 Speaker 3: have as much renewable energy as we do. We are 1196 00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:20,720 Speaker 3: like maxing it out. We're really good on that front, and. 1197 00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:23,120 Speaker 28: We should be saving the hydro dams to that peaking 1198 00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:27,000 Speaker 28: function that Thomas mentioned. But when we're running our system 1199 00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:30,800 Speaker 28: entirely for profit rather than the public good or actually 1200 00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,880 Speaker 28: delivering cheaper electricty for companies and customers. 1201 00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:37,400 Speaker 3: Okay, now do you think yeah? Actually, do you know 1202 00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:39,160 Speaker 3: what I was going to ask you about Palestine? But 1203 00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:40,400 Speaker 3: we need to take a break and then we'll deal 1204 00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:42,960 Speaker 3: with Palestine afterwards. I think fourteen away from six. 1205 00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:49,080 Speaker 1: The huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty the Ones 1206 00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:50,600 Speaker 1: for Unmasked Results. 1207 00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:52,520 Speaker 3: Write your back of Thomas Scrimjer and Gareth Hughes on 1208 00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:55,000 Speaker 3: the huddle. Thomas, should we recognize the state of Palestine 1209 00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:56,280 Speaker 3: now or should we take our time? 1210 00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:59,760 Speaker 29: Well, I think it's perfectly reasonable for the government to 1211 00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:03,360 Speaker 29: want to take its time. New Zealand's long express a 1212 00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:06,160 Speaker 29: desire for a two state solution, but there are some 1213 00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:08,520 Speaker 29: really key things we have to be clear on if 1214 00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,360 Speaker 29: we're going to recognize a Palestinian state and for it 1215 00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:15,600 Speaker 29: to be meaningful, so as people will be aware. Palestine 1216 00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:19,320 Speaker 29: as it currently exists in two geographic areas with two 1217 00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:24,360 Speaker 29: different groups in authority. Gaza, where Israel is waging its war, 1218 00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:28,400 Speaker 29: is governed by Hamas and has been for over a decade. 1219 00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:32,440 Speaker 29: The West Bank is ruled by the Palestinian Authority, And 1220 00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:36,840 Speaker 29: like an indispensable part of recognizing a state is identifying 1221 00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:40,000 Speaker 29: a legitimate government that has a capacity to enter into 1222 00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:42,680 Speaker 29: relations with other states. If we can't point to this 1223 00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:45,640 Speaker 29: group and say they are the government of this new 1224 00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:49,880 Speaker 29: Palestinian state, recognition doesn't mean a whole lot. So the 1225 00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:52,480 Speaker 29: question for New Zealand to actually resolve in our minds 1226 00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:56,160 Speaker 29: is who is this state of Palestine we will recognize? 1227 00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:58,240 Speaker 29: And because this is the merging out of a concern 1228 00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:02,600 Speaker 29: for the war in Gaza, how recognizing the Palestinian authority 1229 00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:05,680 Speaker 29: as that state actually help the people on the ground there? 1230 00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:06,120 Speaker 23: Yeah? 1231 00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:08,040 Speaker 3: Can you argue with any of that, Gareth. 1232 00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:11,560 Speaker 28: No, But the fact is that France, the UK, Canada 1233 00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:14,920 Speaker 28: and Australia, countries that we would normally be standing alongside, 1234 00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:18,080 Speaker 28: are prepared to make this step now. Obviously what's happening 1235 00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:21,360 Speaker 28: in Gaza is horrific and for a country like New Zealand. 1236 00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:23,680 Speaker 28: It is respect on the world stage. This is something 1237 00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:30,560 Speaker 28: meaningful we could do to be ultimately halting the well, 1238 00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:33,280 Speaker 28: it's actually following through on the long standing policy. Both 1239 00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:35,880 Speaker 28: David Ceymour and Winston Feeders have said it's a case 1240 00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:39,040 Speaker 28: of when not, If so, why not do it now? 1241 00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:43,520 Speaker 28: Obviously there's mechanisms in place, from the Palestinian authority to 1242 00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:47,280 Speaker 28: the Stabilization Force which the UN has been discussing. I 1243 00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:50,320 Speaker 28: agree with former Prime Minister Helen Clark. It is humiliating 1244 00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:52,880 Speaker 28: that we're following behind them and it doesn't look like 1245 00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,720 Speaker 28: we're able to reach a position, and the question is 1246 00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:58,280 Speaker 28: will even be able to get a consensus position in 1247 00:59:58,320 --> 00:59:59,760 Speaker 28: the cabinet. That's not clear. 1248 01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,720 Speaker 3: What I'm confused about, Thomas, is how we have landed 1249 01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:06,080 Speaker 3: with this being the discussion. I mean, we have children 1250 01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,680 Speaker 3: who are starving in Gaza, who need food, So why 1251 01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,680 Speaker 3: are we discussing the state of Palestine instead of discussing 1252 01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:14,800 Speaker 3: how on earth we force Israel to feed these people. 1253 01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:18,320 Speaker 29: Well, I think it's a reasonable discussion to be having 1254 01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:22,400 Speaker 29: because at some point the hot war will cease and 1255 01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,440 Speaker 29: you know there will be some sort of, if not 1256 01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:30,280 Speaker 29: an absolute peace, there will be a relenting of military power, 1257 01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:32,400 Speaker 29: and we have to think what comes next. So it's 1258 01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:34,840 Speaker 29: perfectly appropriate for us to be having this discussion and 1259 01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:38,960 Speaker 29: thinking about what institutions can protect the people in Palestine, 1260 01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:42,080 Speaker 29: both in the West Bank and Gaza, because the status 1261 01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:46,720 Speaker 29: quo that existed before October seventh wasn't sustainable and wasn't 1262 01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:49,439 Speaker 29: acceptable to anyone. So we need to be thinking about 1263 01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:52,200 Speaker 29: what comes next. But we also have to keep in 1264 01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:56,280 Speaker 29: mind that's simply recognizing a Palestinian state, especially if we 1265 01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:59,920 Speaker 29: can't identify who has their legitimate authority over that state, 1266 01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:02,240 Speaker 29: won't actually help people on the ground. 1267 01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:04,440 Speaker 3: Gareth, do you agree with me that national would be 1268 01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:06,280 Speaker 3: crazy to roll luxem Now? 1269 01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:08,680 Speaker 27: Well, it's a hard one. 1270 01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:10,840 Speaker 28: I mean, look, the measure of the yardstick that lux 1271 01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:13,720 Speaker 28: and himself has put up is his management of the economy, 1272 01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:15,960 Speaker 28: and that's clearly not delivering at the moment. You know, 1273 01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:20,520 Speaker 28: we see factories closing, historic high unemployment since twenty twenty, 1274 01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:22,400 Speaker 28: you know, tens of thousands of people are out of 1275 01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:26,320 Speaker 28: work because of the poor economic condition. So yeah, on 1276 01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:29,360 Speaker 28: his own yard stick, he's not delivering. It's pretty clear 1277 01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:32,160 Speaker 28: he's one of the weaker performances performers when you look 1278 01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:35,040 Speaker 28: at his personal polling versus the polling of the government, 1279 01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:38,160 Speaker 28: I think an uncharitable opinion would be that, you know, 1280 01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:42,680 Speaker 28: keep him on, keep them having the blame until conditions 1281 01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,600 Speaker 28: turn around. There are some other performers within the government 1282 01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:47,960 Speaker 28: as well, but it's pretty rare at this point in 1283 01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:51,640 Speaker 28: the electoral cycle to even be considering a change of 1284 01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:54,400 Speaker 28: the Prime minister so soon after the election. That books 1285 01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:56,240 Speaker 28: the sign of the times, and there's clearly a bit 1286 01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:59,120 Speaker 28: of momentum and a bit of pressure within the National 1287 01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:01,680 Speaker 28: Party and outside to raise this question. 1288 01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:04,880 Speaker 3: Are they really considering it Thomas or I mean, tell 1289 01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:06,800 Speaker 3: me honestly what you think. Are they really considering it 1290 01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,000 Speaker 3: in the NATS or is this just columnists and viewing 1291 01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:09,760 Speaker 3: their keyboards. 1292 01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:13,600 Speaker 29: Well, I don't pretend to understand what's happening on the 1293 01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:17,400 Speaker 29: inner workings of the National Party. I think it's pretty 1294 01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:20,440 Speaker 29: unlikely that they'd be taking the knives to him. I 1295 01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:22,960 Speaker 29: think would be fairly foolish for them to do so, 1296 01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:26,360 Speaker 29: because even if Luxon is in some sense struggling to 1297 01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:29,800 Speaker 29: connect with the public at the moment, instability is the 1298 01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,440 Speaker 29: great killer of governments anyway. If people don't believe that 1299 01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:36,760 Speaker 29: there is a team that is working together and Luxon 1300 01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:39,400 Speaker 29: might not be connecting as well with the voters as 1301 01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:41,720 Speaker 29: he would like, but he is setting up as ministers 1302 01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:43,919 Speaker 29: to achieve a lot of things. And I think even 1303 01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:46,000 Speaker 29: you know, Gareth might not be the kind of person 1304 01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:48,240 Speaker 29: who is a fan of what the government is doing. 1305 01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:51,200 Speaker 29: He might think they are enacting policies he doesn't like, 1306 01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:53,920 Speaker 29: but they are moving at pace on the things they 1307 01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:57,320 Speaker 29: say are important to them. The economic growth has not returned, 1308 01:02:57,360 --> 01:03:01,160 Speaker 29: but governments have relatively little control about economic growth months 1309 01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:04,000 Speaker 29: to month, and so they are enacting structural change in 1310 01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:05,720 Speaker 29: the economy for better or worse. 1311 01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:07,480 Speaker 3: Guys, it's great to talk to the pair of you. 1312 01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:09,959 Speaker 3: Thank you so much, Gareth Hughes, Thomas Skrimjar huddle this evening, 1313 01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:11,160 Speaker 3: it's coming up eight away from six. 1314 01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:15,680 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Dupless Allen Drive Full Show podcast on 1315 01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:18,200 Speaker 1: my Art Radio powered by news Talk. 1316 01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:20,840 Speaker 4: Zeb right zero. 1317 01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:22,480 Speaker 3: I've been dying to tell you about this. I'll find 1318 01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:24,720 Speaker 3: this absolutely fascinating. By the way, it's six away from six. 1319 01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:27,720 Speaker 3: So Zuru's nappy case is on at the High Court 1320 01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:29,680 Speaker 3: in Auckland at the moment and it's fascinating for the 1321 01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:32,160 Speaker 3: insights that it gives you into how the supermarkets work 1322 01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:36,480 Speaker 3: with their deals with suppliers. So it turns out that Rascals, 1323 01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:39,360 Speaker 3: by the way, is the Zoru nappy brand. Turns out 1324 01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:42,560 Speaker 3: Rascals has one of these exclusivity deals with food Stuff. 1325 01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:44,360 Speaker 3: Food Stuffs are the guys who own Pack and Save 1326 01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:46,120 Speaker 3: a New World and four Square and so on, and 1327 01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:48,560 Speaker 3: the exclusivity deals and stuff. That's the stuff that's really 1328 01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:52,680 Speaker 3: winding up the grocery commissioner. And this deal basically says 1329 01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:55,840 Speaker 3: that Rascals branded nappies would only be on their shelves 1330 01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:58,560 Speaker 3: only on the food stuff shells. No one else's can't 1331 01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:01,120 Speaker 3: be supplied to Woolworth's. Will worth is running the Countdowns 1332 01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:03,440 Speaker 3: and the Wolworths's and the Fresh Choices and the supervalue 1333 01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:05,760 Speaker 3: supermarkets and so on. So that's the first thing, but 1334 01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:08,640 Speaker 3: that's like an obvious thing in an exclusivity deal. The 1335 01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:11,200 Speaker 3: second thing, though, is that food Stuff's then also has 1336 01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:15,560 Speaker 3: a rite of refusal on any new products that Rascals develops. 1337 01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:17,480 Speaker 3: So they come up with a new product, for the 1338 01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:20,000 Speaker 3: first one hundred and twenty days, which is about four months, 1339 01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:22,120 Speaker 3: they have to first give it to food stuff. Food 1340 01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:23,640 Speaker 3: stuffs can take its time with it, then they can 1341 01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:26,440 Speaker 3: go nah, yeah or whatever, and after that food stuff 1342 01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:29,200 Speaker 3: doesn't want it, then they can take it to the competitors. Also, 1343 01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:34,200 Speaker 3: Zuru has a fascinating advertising strategy for how it gets 1344 01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:37,600 Speaker 3: mums to buy those nappies. It doesn't take out expensive 1345 01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:40,320 Speaker 3: TV and radio ads. Instead, what it uses as social 1346 01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:43,760 Speaker 3: media and at geo targets mums on social media. Mums 1347 01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:47,240 Speaker 3: I did not know this. Mums are the most engaged 1348 01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:51,080 Speaker 3: social media users of everybody, and I think that's probably 1349 01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:53,800 Speaker 3: because this is new mums by the way, probably because 1350 01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:55,800 Speaker 3: they're breastfeeding in the middle of the night and board 1351 01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:58,240 Speaker 3: and so they just scroll on social media. Anyway, what 1352 01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:01,160 Speaker 3: it does, and this is Zeru, is that can basically 1353 01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:04,280 Speaker 3: choose a supermarket and then say a food stuff supermarket 1354 01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:06,480 Speaker 3: obviously because that's the one they signed up with, and 1355 01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:08,760 Speaker 3: then it can say I'm gonna drive I'm gonna drive 1356 01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:11,080 Speaker 3: sales in that supermarket, and they do it by geo 1357 01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:13,920 Speaker 3: targeting the mums living around it, and it works and 1358 01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,320 Speaker 3: apparently they're able to turn a few hundred dollars of 1359 01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:19,760 Speaker 3: spend into tens of thousands of dollars of views on 1360 01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:23,000 Speaker 3: the social media. Also also, and this is the last 1361 01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:25,280 Speaker 3: thing that I think is fascinating here. Also, so far, 1362 01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:28,160 Speaker 3: the claim has been that supermarkets, in this relationship between 1363 01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:32,400 Speaker 3: supermarkets and suppliers, supermarkets are the ones who bully the suppliers. 1364 01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:35,320 Speaker 3: But this case actually suggests that it's not that. That 1365 01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:39,000 Speaker 3: is not where the power always lies, because Nick Mobray 1366 01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:41,680 Speaker 3: of Zuru appears to be the one calling the shots here. 1367 01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:45,080 Speaker 3: The claim is that he tried to stop Woolworth's stocking Treasures, 1368 01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:47,720 Speaker 3: which is a competitor nappy brand, and so he called 1369 01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:50,040 Speaker 3: Woolworth's in February two thousand and one and said some 1370 01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:53,040 Speaker 3: stuff about Treasures. The claim is that as a result 1371 01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,480 Speaker 3: of that phone call, Woolworth's made purchase orders on the 1372 01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:59,280 Speaker 3: Friday and then canceled them the following Monday. Nick Mobray 1373 01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:01,400 Speaker 3: does not dispute that he made that phone call and 1374 01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:03,160 Speaker 3: does not seem to dispute what he said in the 1375 01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:05,280 Speaker 3: phone call. He stands by everything. So there you go. 1376 01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:08,000 Speaker 3: How fascinating is that. Next up, we're going to talk 1377 01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:12,360 Speaker 3: to Gareth Ken of Informetrics. Apparently twenty percent of businesses 1378 01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:15,080 Speaker 3: are making losses, which is actually not that unusual. Despite 1379 01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:17,040 Speaker 3: the fact that we've been in the greatest recession of 1380 01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:20,400 Speaker 3: thirty to fifty years. Also, I've been getting a lot 1381 01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:23,760 Speaker 3: of texts throughout this program asking me what I think 1382 01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:26,480 Speaker 3: of this young drug dealer who just got sentenced on 1383 01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:30,720 Speaker 3: home d yesterday. It is a fascinating case, so let's 1384 01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:33,200 Speaker 3: talk about it in the next half hour. News Talks THEREV. 1385 01:06:57,360 --> 01:07:02,040 Speaker 4: What's up, what's down? Major calls and how will it 1386 01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:03,080 Speaker 4: affect the economy? 1387 01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:07,640 Speaker 1: The big business questions on the Business Hour with Heather 1388 01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:09,960 Speaker 1: Duplicylan and Mas for. 1389 01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:12,720 Speaker 4: Trusted Home Insurance Solutions Used Talks ENV. 1390 01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:17,480 Speaker 3: Evening coming up in the next hour. Spark is selling 1391 01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:19,800 Speaker 3: a lot more of its data center business than expected, 1392 01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:22,400 Speaker 3: so Greg Smith will talk us through that. Jamie mackay 1393 01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:24,320 Speaker 3: on why B and Z is so much more confident 1394 01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:26,240 Speaker 3: than Fonterra about the milk price, and then end of 1395 01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:28,920 Speaker 3: Brady will do the UK for us. Right now, it's 1396 01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:31,320 Speaker 3: seven past six. Now economists are a little bit worried 1397 01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:34,520 Speaker 3: about the number of businesses posting a loss. IID data 1398 01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:36,560 Speaker 3: from the twenty twenty three tax years showed one in 1399 01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:39,440 Speaker 3: five businesses made a loss. That's one hundred and seven businesses. 1400 01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:43,280 Speaker 3: One hundred and seven thousand businesses obviously in total. Gareth 1401 01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:48,000 Speaker 3: Kennan is Infametric's chief forecaster. Hey, Gareth, evening, Heather. Now, 1402 01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:49,760 Speaker 3: it's a bit of debate about these numbers. Is it 1403 01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:51,520 Speaker 3: one in five or is it actually one in three? 1404 01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:55,080 Speaker 30: Well, there's about a third of businesses when you look 1405 01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:57,360 Speaker 30: at those numbers that record it neither a profit nor 1406 01:07:57,400 --> 01:07:59,960 Speaker 30: a loss zero and come. So my feelings those were 1407 01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:01,920 Speaker 30: should probably be taken out of the numbers because it 1408 01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:04,520 Speaker 30: looks like they're not operational, probably not even you know, 1409 01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:06,280 Speaker 30: sort of a real business in a sense. So you 1410 01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:08,440 Speaker 30: probably get a better steer just looking at the numbers 1411 01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:09,760 Speaker 30: excludingized ones. 1412 01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:11,280 Speaker 3: And that takes us to what one in three? 1413 01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:13,160 Speaker 4: Yes, that's right. 1414 01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:16,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, Now tell me you understand this better than 1415 01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:17,960 Speaker 3: I do. But if we have an increase in the 1416 01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:20,760 Speaker 3: current loss share from thirty two point three percent to 1417 01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:23,599 Speaker 3: thirty four point six percent, that doesn't seem that bad. 1418 01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:27,160 Speaker 30: No, I mean, I was surprised by the sort of 1419 01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:28,800 Speaker 30: lack of movement and the numbers when you look at 1420 01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:31,320 Speaker 30: the data over the last seven years, they haven't really 1421 01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:34,719 Speaker 30: swung around a lot. The changes seem to be pretty marginal. 1422 01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:36,599 Speaker 30: The other thing that surprised me is the fact that 1423 01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:38,600 Speaker 30: you know, you are talking a third of businesses that 1424 01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:40,200 Speaker 30: are making a loss in any given year, and you 1425 01:08:40,240 --> 01:08:42,920 Speaker 30: would hope that across the economy overall, that things were 1426 01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:45,040 Speaker 30: a little more profitable when times were going good. But 1427 01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:47,160 Speaker 30: doesn't seem to be the way the numbers work out. 1428 01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:49,360 Speaker 3: Now, why would it be that it hasn't got given. 1429 01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:51,519 Speaker 3: I mean, we are talking about having a recession, some 1430 01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:53,400 Speaker 3: say the worse than thirty years, some say the wors 1431 01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:56,040 Speaker 3: than fifty years. Whatever it is, it's bag how come 1432 01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:57,240 Speaker 3: it hasn't gone up more than that? 1433 01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:00,720 Speaker 30: And look, it may just be a reflection that there's 1434 01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:04,320 Speaker 30: sort of an uneven distribution across you know, companies making losses. 1435 01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:06,120 Speaker 30: We don't know how big those losses are, and they 1436 01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:08,640 Speaker 30: might have been quite previous years and there might be 1437 01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:11,360 Speaker 30: more loss making going on. So you know, it's a 1438 01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:12,600 Speaker 30: case of I guess, having to look at some of 1439 01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:15,280 Speaker 30: the other indicators around how businesses are performing out there 1440 01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:17,599 Speaker 30: as well and just trying to get a steer on them. 1441 01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:19,880 Speaker 30: But you know, over the last two years, those numbers 1442 01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:22,320 Speaker 30: at least suggesting there are more businesses making a loss. 1443 01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:24,959 Speaker 30: So it is consistent with the deterioration and the economy 1444 01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:25,679 Speaker 30: that we have seen. 1445 01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:28,599 Speaker 3: Is it possible that because this is the twenty twenty 1446 01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:30,760 Speaker 3: three twenty four tax here, that actually we're not seeing 1447 01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:31,960 Speaker 3: the ugliest stuff yet. 1448 01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:34,519 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. 1449 01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:36,000 Speaker 30: I mean when you look at the numbers and the 1450 01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:38,000 Speaker 30: way the economy performed, it was kind of flat through 1451 01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:40,880 Speaker 30: twenty twenty three through that, and so that's still being 1452 01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:43,120 Speaker 30: captured in the twenty four year, like you say. And 1453 01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:45,160 Speaker 30: the worst of that recession we know, was through the 1454 01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:48,120 Speaker 30: middle part of last year, so in the twenty twenty 1455 01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:50,160 Speaker 30: five tax year, So it could well be that over 1456 01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:52,240 Speaker 30: the next twelve months or so, as we get more 1457 01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:54,479 Speaker 30: data through, you do see more of a deterioration and 1458 01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:55,519 Speaker 30: those figures coming out. 1459 01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:58,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. Now, we have been spending a lot of time, 1460 01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:00,439 Speaker 3: because everybody's feeling gloomy in the middle of and tough 1461 01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:02,320 Speaker 3: and feeling a bit poor, We've been spending a lot 1462 01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:04,360 Speaker 3: of time just thinking about the economy. What is your 1463 01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:07,240 Speaker 3: forecast for when we start to feel decent about what's 1464 01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:07,640 Speaker 3: going on. 1465 01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:11,160 Speaker 30: Yeah, Look, the one thing that's really holding us back 1466 01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:13,519 Speaker 30: as far as I'm concerned, is the labor market. You know, 1467 01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:16,000 Speaker 30: we were hoping that the unemployment rate would peak in 1468 01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:18,639 Speaker 30: them this year and start to track lower. We've pushed 1469 01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:20,640 Speaker 30: out the timing on that, but the real concern for 1470 01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:22,720 Speaker 30: me is when you look at things like job ad 1471 01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:26,000 Speaker 30: numbers or monthly job figures, they've gone sideways for the 1472 01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:28,360 Speaker 30: last year or so and there's not really any sign 1473 01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:31,759 Speaker 30: of an improvement there. And my feeling is that until 1474 01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:34,400 Speaker 30: you start to get that labor market turning around, until 1475 01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:37,120 Speaker 30: there's an improvement in people's sense of job security and 1476 01:10:37,120 --> 01:10:40,160 Speaker 30: income security around that, even though interest rates have been 1477 01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:42,120 Speaker 30: coming down and people of not having to pay as 1478 01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:44,360 Speaker 30: much on the mortgage, they will still be cautious on 1479 01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:46,800 Speaker 30: their spending for some time. So it could well be 1480 01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:50,080 Speaker 30: into late late this year or early twenty twenty six 1481 01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:52,720 Speaker 30: before that household spending starts to pick up, and of 1482 01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:54,519 Speaker 30: course at that time we should start to see more 1483 01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:57,200 Speaker 30: spending coming through in provincial areas with the good export 1484 01:10:57,240 --> 01:10:58,400 Speaker 30: prices that we've had as well. 1485 01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:00,400 Speaker 3: Good stuff. Gareth, Thanks for your time, Gareth Kin and 1486 01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:05,559 Speaker 3: Infirmetric's chief forecaster.

A lot of 1498 01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:34,479 Speaker 31: people have ocd about the art of cycle rate. 1499 01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:37,200 Speaker 32: Yes, I get a lot of questions about the that 1500 01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:40,280 Speaker 32: Juliet about the thirty five The answer is no, there 1501 01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:42,360 Speaker 32: wasn't discussion of a larger rate cut. 1502 01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:44,480 Speaker 11: It was, as you say, unanimous. 1503 01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:47,680 Speaker 3: And on the international economy they reckon the outlook is 1504 01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:49,599 Speaker 3: not terrible, not great, but not terrible. 1505 01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:53,000 Speaker 32: The global outrook remains unpredictable, even though it seems that 1506 01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:55,960 Speaker 32: the risk of all more damaging widespread trade war has 1507 01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:59,800 Speaker 32: eased a bit. We expect global growth slow over the 1508 01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:02,680 Speaker 32: red to the year and into twenty twenty six as 1509 01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:06,000 Speaker 32: impacts from high tariffs and brought a policy uncertainty way 1510 01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:06,760 Speaker 32: on activity. 1511 01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:10,760 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that global growth is slowing into twenty twenty six. 1512 01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:13,960 Speaker 3: What's happening in twenty twenty six?

Scumbags Now scumbags has blown up into a 1515 01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:24,000 Speaker 3: thing that's not a word you're allowed to call people anymore. 1516 01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:25,320 Speaker 3: I'm going to explain it some stage. 1517 01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:29,040 Speaker 1: Hang on six twelve, it's the Heather Duplicy Allen Drive 1518 01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:33,400 Speaker 1: Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by newstalg Zebbi. 1519 01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:38,080 Speaker 3: Heather, is this guy aware of reality?

We have absolutely 1521 01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:43,840 Speaker 3: no security moving forward when not looking to employ whatsoever. 1522 01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:45,040 Speaker 3: Quarter past six. 1523 01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:49,960 Speaker 4: The Rural Report on Heather Duplicy Allen Drive. 1524 01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:52,519 Speaker 3: Jamie McKay, host of the Countries with us Ay, Jamie, 1525 01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:54,920 Speaker 3: can I hear that? Okay? Talk me through what's going 1526 01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:56,519 Speaker 3: on with allions? 1527 01:12:56,800 --> 01:12:57,000 Speaker 13: Right? 1528 01:12:57,080 --> 01:12:57,280 Speaker 23: Well? 1529 01:12:57,360 --> 01:13:00,280 Speaker 22: The mate industries worse kept secret was let out of 1530 01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:04,200 Speaker 22: the bag this morning, so meat posts of the Alliance groups. 1531 01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:08,040 Speaker 22: There's Irish based company down Meats is lining up to 1532 01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:11,000 Speaker 22: pay two hundred and fifty million dollars for a sixty 1533 01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:14,200 Speaker 22: five percent steak in the meat co op. Remember Heather 1534 01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:17,320 Speaker 22: that the Alliance groups the only fully owned or fully 1535 01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:20,120 Speaker 22: farmer owned, one hundred percent cooperative in the meat industry, 1536 01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:23,320 Speaker 22: or certainly that I know of. Anyhow, it is based 1537 01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:25,760 Speaker 22: out of Inmbicargo, but it's got plants in the North 1538 01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:29,720 Speaker 22: and South Island. It Isney Zealand's biggest sheep meat exporters. 1539 01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:34,240 Speaker 22: Silver Fern Farms is our biggest meat processor enterprise. Or 1540 01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:37,599 Speaker 22: this deal values the enterprise at five hundred and two 1541 01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:39,760 Speaker 22: million dollars. Now what are they going to do with 1542 01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:41,960 Speaker 22: their two hundred and fifty million dollars? Or they're going 1543 01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:45,040 Speaker 22: to use most of it? It would seem to pay back debt. 1544 01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:48,400 Speaker 22: They're going to accelerate the capital expenditure program. Some of 1545 01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:51,800 Speaker 22: it will go to farmer shareholders. Just how much will 1546 01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:54,800 Speaker 22: be interesting and how it affects their share value will 1547 01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:59,960 Speaker 22: be interesting as well. The board unanimously endorsed the deal. 1548 01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:03,519 Speaker 22: Other suitors there were other suitors. Apparently there were three. 1549 01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:06,639 Speaker 22: They got down to three. I think I'm reading between 1550 01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:08,920 Speaker 22: the lines there. I think Silver Fern Farms might have 1551 01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:12,240 Speaker 22: been close. Of course, that's the other big meat company 1552 01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:15,040 Speaker 22: in this country. Fifty to fifty joint venture with the 1553 01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:20,120 Speaker 22: Chinese now bought by Shanghai Mailing a decade ago. And interestingly, 1554 01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:24,080 Speaker 22: Dawn Meats was understood to have been the underbidder to 1555 01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:28,240 Speaker 22: that offer in twenty fifteen sixteen, So we need shareholder 1556 01:14:28,280 --> 01:14:31,720 Speaker 22: acceptance obviously, Heather. If they don't get it, what are 1557 01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:35,160 Speaker 22: the options for the Alliance Group then asset sales, site 1558 01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:39,040 Speaker 22: closures We've already seen Smithfield in Timaru and further cost 1559 01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:40,520 Speaker 22: cutting initiatives. 1560 01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:41,400 Speaker 4: And just to give you some. 1561 01:14:41,439 --> 01:14:44,400 Speaker 22: Idea about Dawn Meats who they are family owned Irish 1562 01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:48,840 Speaker 22: company founded in nineteen eighty core An you'll turnover a 1563 01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:52,759 Speaker 22: five point eight billion compares to one point eight billion 1564 01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:56,799 Speaker 22: that's New Zealand dollars for the Alliance Group, whose turnover 1565 01:14:56,840 --> 01:15:01,200 Speaker 22: has been slipping in the past few years. Interestingly, the 1566 01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:04,360 Speaker 22: final point old mats makers. The Alliance Group has come 1567 01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:07,880 Speaker 22: in for a fair bit of flack in recent years 1568 01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:11,599 Speaker 22: or seasons because as the only one hundred percent farmer 1569 01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:14,760 Speaker 22: ow meat process and co op, it's been accused of 1570 01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:20,200 Speaker 22: uncooperative sweetheart deals for largest suppliers and third party traders. 1571 01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:23,360 Speaker 22: See if you pay if you supply Fonterra, for instance, 1572 01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:27,400 Speaker 22: Heather or Zesbury, you get the same no matter whether 1573 01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:30,839 Speaker 22: your milk or kiwi fruit comes from Northland or Southland. 1574 01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:33,479 Speaker 22: Not that we grow keywi fruit in Southland just yet. 1575 01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:35,000 Speaker 3: Not yet, not yet. But if we carry on with 1576 01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:37,000 Speaker 3: this climate change in the coal for long enough, you 1577 01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:39,559 Speaker 3: will be talk to me about B and Zen. Why 1578 01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:40,799 Speaker 3: are they feeling so confident? 1579 01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:46,920 Speaker 22: Ah, well, they've led the charge for their forecast milk 1580 01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:49,439 Speaker 22: price for the twenty five to twenty sixth season. They've 1581 01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:52,519 Speaker 22: lifted it seventy five cents to ten dollars twenty five, 1582 01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:57,600 Speaker 22: remembering Fonterra started with a pretty a pretty bullish forecast 1583 01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:02,320 Speaker 22: milk price themselves at ten dollars, albeit their midpoint wasn't 1584 01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:05,479 Speaker 22: exactly in the middle because their price forecast range was 1585 01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:10,799 Speaker 22: from eight to eleven dollars now GEDT last weeks, GDT 1586 01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:15,440 Speaker 22: will have probably boyed the ben Z a wee bit here. Interestingly, 1587 01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:18,800 Speaker 22: the futures market's called its heels a wee bit. But 1588 01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:22,400 Speaker 22: this afternoon, when I last checked, the twenty five twenty 1589 01:16:22,439 --> 01:16:26,400 Speaker 22: six futures market was trading at ten dollars sixteen, down 1590 01:16:26,479 --> 01:16:28,720 Speaker 22: from ten to twenty three. If we get another ten 1591 01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:31,760 Speaker 22: dollars payout, hallelujah, praise the Lord, because we're going to 1592 01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:34,679 Speaker 22: get one for the twenty four to twenty five season. 1593 01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:39,600 Speaker 22: That will be decided by Fonterra anyhow in September or October. 1594 01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:42,400 Speaker 3: Brilliant stuff, Jamie, Thank you so much, Jamie McKay, Host 1595 01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:43,960 Speaker 3: of the Country, nineteen past six. 1596 01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:45,800 Speaker 4: Heather do for Sea Allen. 1597 01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:48,120 Speaker 3: I've got a company for my rental, Heather, I've posted 1598 01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:49,680 Speaker 3: a loss for the last two years. Well, that goes 1599 01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:52,360 Speaker 3: to explain all those kind of the companies just posting 1600 01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:55,920 Speaker 3: losses that Gareth was talking about. He couldn't quite explain it. 1601 01:16:55,920 --> 01:16:59,280 Speaker 3: There's your explanation, now, scumbag. So scumbag has turned into 1602 01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:02,200 Speaker 3: quite the thing over in the UK. And what's happened. 1603 01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:04,280 Speaker 3: How it came about is that there's a chap who 1604 01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:08,320 Speaker 3: runs a shop and he's he's like, he's not a hater, 1605 01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:11,000 Speaker 3: he's a bit woky, to be honest with you. So 1606 01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:13,120 Speaker 3: it's he probably is alarmed at the fact that he 1607 01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:15,280 Speaker 3: finds himself in the middle of this. But he runs 1608 01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:17,479 Speaker 3: something like a thrift shop or something like that. He 1609 01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:20,360 Speaker 3: looks like Gandalf. So Gandalf is running a thrift shop 1610 01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:22,840 Speaker 3: and he puts up a sign and it says, I 1611 01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:24,840 Speaker 3: just got to get thee un here we go. Do 1612 01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:28,880 Speaker 3: you to scumbags shoplifting? Please ask for assistance to open 1613 01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:31,120 Speaker 3: the cabinets. Thank you. Now if I saw that, I 1614 01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:34,720 Speaker 3: wouldn't think anything. Okay, fair enough, I'll ask for your assistance. Well, 1615 01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:37,439 Speaker 3: actually police didn't like that. So police came around to 1616 01:17:37,479 --> 01:17:39,479 Speaker 3: his shop and said, yeah, you need to remove that then, 1617 01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:42,640 Speaker 3: And he was like why and they said, because he 1618 01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:45,320 Speaker 3: says it's not illegal to call them scum bags. They 1619 01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:47,880 Speaker 3: are scumbags, and they said, n it might be offensive 1620 01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:50,479 Speaker 3: to the shoplifters, so can you remove it? Anyway? This 1621 01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:52,960 Speaker 3: is blown up and as you can imagine, and quite rightly, 1622 01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:56,320 Speaker 3: into a mass of brew haha in the UK, because 1623 01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:59,400 Speaker 3: the cops in the UK are bonkers, like they are 1624 01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:03,160 Speaker 3: honestly the weirdest police force ever, the busy doing the 1625 01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:05,639 Speaker 3: weirdest things like telling people off for riding a bike 1626 01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:08,360 Speaker 3: without their hands on the handle bars and going around 1627 01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:11,360 Speaker 3: to former journalists' houses and telling them off for tweets 1628 01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:13,120 Speaker 3: and arresting them over like this is literally what the 1629 01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:15,360 Speaker 3: cops they are doing. So, as you can imagine, this 1630 01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:17,000 Speaker 3: has got the cops in a whole lot of trouble 1631 01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:21,680 Speaker 3: because in the UK they've got a major shoplifting problem, 1632 01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:24,040 Speaker 3: just like we do. And I think most people over 1633 01:18:24,040 --> 01:18:26,040 Speaker 3: there would like to see the cops actually turning up 1634 01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:28,200 Speaker 3: and dealing with shoplifters, not turning up and dealing with 1635 01:18:28,240 --> 01:18:30,439 Speaker 3: Gandalf and telling him that he's not allowed to call 1636 01:18:30,479 --> 01:18:34,320 Speaker 3: them scumbags anymore. Bizarre set of priorities from the police. Anyway, 1637 01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:37,120 Speaker 3: it's blown up massively.

Twenty four past six. 1654 01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:24,280 Speaker 3: Now here we go. Here's the story about the drug 1655 01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:27,360 Speaker 3: drug dealer. So there's a young chap named Rowan Hewitson 1656 01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:29,680 Speaker 3: who lives in Wellington, nice part of Wellington. Raised in 1657 01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:32,120 Speaker 3: a nice part of Wellington, between his parents' home in 1658 01:19:32,160 --> 01:19:35,799 Speaker 3: Wilton and in why can I not rough parts of Wellington. 1659 01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:39,960 Speaker 3: He's been busted for importing up to nearly six million 1660 01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:43,519 Speaker 3: dollars worth of ketamine and MDMA, most of which arrived 1661 01:19:43,560 --> 01:19:46,680 Speaker 3: in the country labeled as consignments of baby food and 1662 01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:52,040 Speaker 3: pain reducing heat belts. He's pleaded guilty. He is now 1663 01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:54,160 Speaker 3: twenty one, but he was eighteen or nineteen at the 1664 01:19:54,160 --> 01:19:56,439 Speaker 3: time of the offending. He appeared in court yesterday for 1665 01:19:56,479 --> 01:20:01,320 Speaker 3: his sentencing and the starting point was five years five 1666 01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:04,120 Speaker 3: months in jail. Hang on, before I tell you what 1667 01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:06,839 Speaker 3: actually happens, got to first tell you how he got busted. 1668 01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:09,280 Speaker 3: What he was doing. This kid's clever, what he was 1669 01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:12,719 Speaker 3: doing was he was having his packages of drugs sent 1670 01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:16,439 Speaker 3: to other people's houses, as you know, like career packages 1671 01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:18,839 Speaker 3: and stuff. And he arrived at one of the houses 1672 01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:21,599 Speaker 3: and asked the woman if his package had been wrongly 1673 01:20:21,640 --> 01:20:23,800 Speaker 3: delivered to her property, and she didn't want to hand 1674 01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:25,719 Speaker 3: it over because number one, the name on the package 1675 01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:27,599 Speaker 3: was that of a woman. He was not a woman, 1676 01:20:27,680 --> 01:20:29,840 Speaker 3: So she's like, is this actually your package? But also 1677 01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:32,519 Speaker 3: she recognized him because he'd done this before to her 1678 01:20:32,560 --> 01:20:34,840 Speaker 3: house a number of times. By the looks of things, 1679 01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:37,400 Speaker 3: she's starting to get suspicious. So he was pleading with 1680 01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:39,760 Speaker 3: her to hand over the package. He then took a pot. 1681 01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:42,719 Speaker 3: She said no, She took a photograph of him, threatened 1682 01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:44,680 Speaker 3: to call the cops if he didn't leave. Eventually he 1683 01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:48,120 Speaker 3: left and then they reported the incident's incident to the police, 1684 01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:50,640 Speaker 3: and that is how he got busted. Anyway, turns up 1685 01:20:50,640 --> 01:20:53,639 Speaker 3: in court. Remember five years five months is the starting 1686 01:20:53,680 --> 01:20:56,599 Speaker 3: point of his jail term. By the time Judge Kelly 1687 01:20:56,720 --> 01:21:00,000 Speaker 3: is finished with him, Judge Kelly has discounted it by 1688 01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:05,200 Speaker 3: sixty five percent sixty five percent, leaving a substitute of 1689 01:21:05,320 --> 01:21:09,040 Speaker 3: home d available. Oh wow, don't judges always end up there, 1690 01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:11,599 Speaker 3: and so he ends up with ten months of home 1691 01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:13,800 Speaker 3: d and two hundred hours of community work. Now my 1692 01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:16,800 Speaker 3: question to you is how did he get sixty five 1693 01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:19,599 Speaker 3: percent discount? Because did we not just pass a law 1694 01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:22,679 Speaker 3: in June that captain at forty percent? What's going on anyway? 1695 01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:25,800 Speaker 3: Laura's asking, Laura's asking Paul Goldsmith's office right now, and 1696 01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:27,800 Speaker 3: I'm gonna have an answer for you tomorrow. So is 1697 01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:29,559 Speaker 3: the rule happening or is the rule not happening? Have 1698 01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:32,400 Speaker 3: we changed? What's going on? Why is Judge Kelly doing 1699 01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:34,160 Speaker 3: this to us? Twenty seven past. 1700 01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:35,679 Speaker 4: Six Keller do for cee Ala. 1701 01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:44,000 Speaker 3: Here's your Showbazz News. First there was Stan Walker.

Young Jack, who works there, has already come 1723 01:23:25,360 --> 01:23:27,639 Speaker 3: back to us with an answer on why the discount 1724 01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:30,240 Speaker 3: was at sixty five percent Because while the law yes 1725 01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:34,200 Speaker 3: has already kicked in, the law only applies to crimes 1726 01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:37,680 Speaker 3: that are committed after the law kicked in. So from 1727 01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:41,000 Speaker 3: now on, from crimes committed from June onwards, that's a 1728 01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:43,479 Speaker 3: forty percent cap. But if you've already got a crime 1729 01:23:43,520 --> 01:23:46,040 Speaker 3: in the bank, and yeah, you're going to appear before 1730 01:23:46,120 --> 01:23:48,559 Speaker 3: Judge Kelly for a crime you already did before June, 1731 01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:51,040 Speaker 3: you're in luck. Judge Kelly might give you a massive 1732 01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:55,640 Speaker 3: discount sixty sixty five percent, seventy five percent, why not 1733 01:23:56,040 --> 01:23:56,679 Speaker 3: twenty four away? 1734 01:23:56,760 --> 01:23:58,640 Speaker 14: Out now.

She'll be back in 1744 01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:18,160 Speaker 3: a minute with it. Twenty three away from seven. 1745 01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:20,439 Speaker 4: Heather Duplicy Ellen So, Spark has. 1746 01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:22,760 Speaker 3: Sold seventy five percent of its data center business to 1747 01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:26,599 Speaker 3: Ossie firm Pacific Equity Partners. PEP is paying four hundred 1748 01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:28,519 Speaker 3: and eighty six million dollars for this, along with another 1749 01:24:28,600 --> 01:24:31,720 Speaker 3: eight ninety eight million dollars if performance targets are hit 1750 01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:33,640 Speaker 3: by the end of twenty twenty seven. Greg Smith is 1751 01:24:33,640 --> 01:24:35,479 Speaker 3: the head of retail for Devon Funds and with us. 1752 01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:37,760 Speaker 21: Hey, Greg, Hey, good evening, Heather. 1753 01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:39,840 Speaker 3: This is the high end of what we were expecting a. 1754 01:24:41,040 --> 01:24:43,640 Speaker 21: Incertainly is I mean, it's thirty point eight times for 1755 01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:45,480 Speaker 21: you twenty five earnings. 1756 01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:47,000 Speaker 4: So that's a pretty good price. 1757 01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:50,519 Speaker 21: And I just I suppose it reflects the demand, yeah, 1758 01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:53,240 Speaker 21: for these sort of assets. So look, it had been 1759 01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:55,720 Speaker 21: well flagged that this divestment was being considered, and it 1760 01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:58,200 Speaker 21: was sort of really something that Spark had to do. 1761 01:24:58,280 --> 01:25:01,760 Speaker 21: There'd been a lot of focus on their debt levels, 1762 01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:04,760 Speaker 21: on protecting the dividend, and the reality is building up 1763 01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:07,360 Speaker 21: these data center is expensive, so they're going to need 1764 01:25:07,400 --> 01:25:11,080 Speaker 21: to spend a billion dollars on the data center roll out. 1765 01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:13,559 Speaker 21: So it's a good outcome, it's a good price. They 1766 01:25:13,560 --> 01:25:16,000 Speaker 21: can pay down some debt, they can keep some skin 1767 01:25:16,080 --> 01:25:18,280 Speaker 21: in the game, and of course they're getting in this 1768 01:25:18,320 --> 01:25:20,639 Speaker 21: out of the way before the four year results next week. 1769 01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:22,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're obviously using some of the money to 1770 01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:25,440 Speaker 3: pay the dividends. Should they be paying dividends at the moment. 1771 01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:27,920 Speaker 4: Though, Yeah, And I mean that's been the question. 1772 01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:31,680 Speaker 21: So you know, they've effected been paying dividends that they 1773 01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:34,320 Speaker 21: actually can't really afford to. So this is going to 1774 01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:37,519 Speaker 21: change things a bit. You know, this business is being 1775 01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:40,559 Speaker 21: sort of separate into a new standalone company. So we 1776 01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:43,559 Speaker 21: are expecting, with the sort of clarity that we've got now, 1777 01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:47,240 Speaker 21: some sort of dividend cut next week. So the current 1778 01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:49,000 Speaker 21: divin to give you an idea, is around about twenty 1779 01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:51,519 Speaker 21: five cents per share. That's expected to go down to 1780 01:25:51,560 --> 01:25:53,280 Speaker 21: around eighteen the. 1781 01:25:53,240 --> 01:25:55,439 Speaker 4: Current share price. That's still a pretty good yield. 1782 01:25:55,520 --> 01:25:59,000 Speaker 21: Yeah, six to sort of seven percent. So obviously investors 1783 01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:02,360 Speaker 21: haven't liked the result today today will the announcement today 1784 01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:05,040 Speaker 21: so much? She is down two and a half percent. 1785 01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:06,160 Speaker 21: But I think, you know, it is sort of that 1786 01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:08,840 Speaker 21: fact that now we are going to be facing a 1787 01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:11,719 Speaker 21: cut in the dividend announced next week, and the question 1788 01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:14,080 Speaker 21: will be whether it's the final dividend or the dividend 1789 01:26:14,120 --> 01:26:17,000 Speaker 21: for the sort of the forthcoming year. We know the 1790 01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:20,040 Speaker 21: pressure that Spark has been under. Business spend has been 1791 01:26:20,120 --> 01:26:23,520 Speaker 21: under the pump given the economy, Government spending has been pressurized. 1792 01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:25,040 Speaker 4: So I think what'd be really. 1793 01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:27,639 Speaker 21: Interesting as well is whether there's any sort of green 1794 01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:30,519 Speaker 21: shoots in that outlook. And yeah, I suppose that's what 1795 01:26:30,560 --> 01:26:31,960 Speaker 21: investors will perhaps be clinging to. 1796 01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:32,760 Speaker 8: Now. 1797 01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:35,040 Speaker 3: There's been a fair bit of talk about the leadership 1798 01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:38,880 Speaker 3: on board leadership, executive c suite leadership as well. What 1799 01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:40,400 Speaker 3: do you reckon is going to change here? 1800 01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:45,160 Speaker 21: Well, I think for the moment that's probably you know, 1801 01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:46,840 Speaker 21: I think the benefit of the doubt is going to 1802 01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:51,320 Speaker 21: be given to the current current leadership. But yeah, sparks problems, 1803 01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:54,040 Speaker 21: you know, are a lot of it's been about it 1804 01:26:54,280 --> 01:26:56,640 Speaker 21: out of its control when you look at what the 1805 01:26:56,720 --> 01:26:59,760 Speaker 21: economy has been heavily pressurized. So there's certainly not a 1806 01:26:59,840 --> 01:27:03,720 Speaker 21: lot there. There have been some questions over you know, 1807 01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:05,760 Speaker 21: what they're going to be doing with various assets. We 1808 01:27:05,880 --> 01:27:09,040 Speaker 21: now have some certainty there around the data centers, so 1809 01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:11,080 Speaker 21: I think there will be an element of benefit of 1810 01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:13,200 Speaker 21: the doubt, And yeah, what invests are really looking for 1811 01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:17,160 Speaker 21: some sort of signs that things can turn around. I think, 1812 01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:20,280 Speaker 21: you know, for a long time, your sparks sort of 1813 01:27:20,280 --> 01:27:22,280 Speaker 21: been out of its depth in terms of you know, 1814 01:27:22,680 --> 01:27:23,719 Speaker 21: I suppose the checks has. 1815 01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:25,240 Speaker 4: Sort of been going one way. Now you know that 1816 01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:26,439 Speaker 4: obviously now got. 1817 01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:28,840 Speaker 21: That going the other way. This data center. So so 1818 01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:30,599 Speaker 21: it's going to pay down debt, it's going to make 1819 01:27:30,640 --> 01:27:33,120 Speaker 21: the balance sheet in this in better shape. That's going 1820 01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:35,759 Speaker 21: to be good in terms of the credit rating. Agencies 1821 01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:37,800 Speaker 21: are going to maintain that a minus rating. They're going 1822 01:27:37,840 --> 01:27:39,960 Speaker 21: to say, protect the dividend to an extent all that 1823 01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:42,080 Speaker 21: it's probably coming down, And I think there will be 1824 01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:44,920 Speaker 21: some benefit of the doubt given for the company to 1825 01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:47,040 Speaker 21: sort of get through and hopefully have a better sort 1826 01:27:47,040 --> 01:27:48,280 Speaker 21: of six to twelve months ahead. 1827 01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:51,800 Speaker 3: Brilliant stuff. I really appreciate it. Appreciate your expertise, he agreed. 1828 01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:53,360 Speaker 3: That's Greg Smith, Devin Fund's. 1829 01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:56,000 Speaker 4: Head of retail, Heather du for cl. 1830 01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:00,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, here's my favorite thing to do. We're going to 1831 01:28:00,320 --> 01:28:02,360 Speaker 3: respond to all of the texts, like the text from 1832 01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:04,439 Speaker 3: Gary saying what would you do if you're the Minister 1833 01:28:04,520 --> 01:28:06,559 Speaker 3: of Finance. Well, first of all, I'm not the Minister 1834 01:28:06,600 --> 01:28:08,840 Speaker 3: of Finance, and you should be grateful for that because 1835 01:28:08,840 --> 01:28:11,479 Speaker 3: I have no idea what I'm talking about. But you 1836 01:28:11,560 --> 01:28:13,880 Speaker 3: can't be criticizing the Minister of Finance and giving her 1837 01:28:13,880 --> 01:28:15,439 Speaker 3: a hard time unless you have some idea of what 1838 01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:17,320 Speaker 3: you think she should be doing. And I frankly think 1839 01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:20,479 Speaker 3: she should be cutting the corporate tax. Once again, I'm 1840 01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:22,320 Speaker 3: telling you, I'm no idea what I'm talking about, as 1841 01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:24,080 Speaker 3: a lot of the Minister of Finance am I. But 1842 01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:26,439 Speaker 3: I will point to the fact that the head of 1843 01:28:26,520 --> 01:28:29,519 Speaker 3: the Chamber of Commerce and Auckland, Simon Bridges, has also 1844 01:28:29,680 --> 01:28:31,400 Speaker 3: just called for the same thing, a cut in the 1845 01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:34,559 Speaker 3: corporate tax rate. Now I don't know I mean, there's 1846 01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:37,240 Speaker 3: a lot of it seems to me what we want 1847 01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:39,400 Speaker 3: to do is we want to get money into this country, 1848 01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:41,439 Speaker 3: don't we want foreign investment in this country. But we 1849 01:28:41,439 --> 01:28:44,080 Speaker 3: don't just want random foreign investment that people just come 1850 01:28:44,080 --> 01:28:46,320 Speaker 3: and park millions or billions here, just put it in 1851 01:28:46,320 --> 01:28:48,360 Speaker 3: the bank. That's no value to us. You actually want 1852 01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:51,719 Speaker 3: them investing in building, right and spending. And so what's 1853 01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:54,679 Speaker 3: the easiest way to bring foreign investment into the country 1854 01:28:54,880 --> 01:28:56,720 Speaker 3: is to cut the corporate tax rate. So then you 1855 01:28:56,720 --> 01:28:58,320 Speaker 3: cut the corporate tax rate. It's going to do that. 1856 01:28:58,920 --> 01:29:01,439 Speaker 3: The downside of cutting the corporate tax rate, obviously, is 1857 01:29:01,439 --> 01:29:04,120 Speaker 3: that you're immediately in order for the long term gain 1858 01:29:04,200 --> 01:29:06,519 Speaker 3: with all those tax that all that tax going into 1859 01:29:06,560 --> 01:29:07,479 Speaker 3: the government's coffers. 1860 01:29:07,600 --> 01:29:08,200 Speaker 4: Long term. 1861 01:29:08,400 --> 01:29:11,960 Speaker 3: Short term, you lose out right because you were raking 1862 01:29:11,960 --> 01:29:14,519 Speaker 3: in twenty eight percent from the banks and now you 1863 01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:16,799 Speaker 3: cut it down. Now you're only raking a nineteen percent. 1864 01:29:16,840 --> 01:29:19,599 Speaker 3: This material difference. I don't know how you get around that. 1865 01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:23,080 Speaker 3: Maybe you stagger it, Maybe you do something clever. You 1866 01:29:23,120 --> 01:29:25,439 Speaker 3: go new businesses, you come in at nineteen percent, everybody 1867 01:29:25,439 --> 01:29:27,080 Speaker 3: else you're at twenty eight percent. It will stagger you 1868 01:29:27,120 --> 01:29:28,760 Speaker 3: down for the next ten years and it will drop off. 1869 01:29:28,920 --> 01:29:31,160 Speaker 3: Maybe you drop everybody down, you put a banking levy on. 1870 01:29:31,200 --> 01:29:32,680 Speaker 3: I don't know. There's a number of ways you could 1871 01:29:32,720 --> 01:29:34,840 Speaker 3: skin that cat, but that is what I would be doing, 1872 01:29:35,320 --> 01:29:37,559 Speaker 3: or something equally bold, because I think if we're in 1873 01:29:37,600 --> 01:29:39,320 Speaker 3: the position that we're in right now, surely what we 1874 01:29:39,360 --> 01:29:41,800 Speaker 3: need to be doing is something bold, isn't it. So anyway, Gary, 1875 01:29:41,840 --> 01:29:46,160 Speaker 3: thanks for the opportunity. There you go. Now there is 1876 01:29:46,200 --> 01:29:49,040 Speaker 3: a prediction I'm sad to say that the convertible is dead, 1877 01:29:49,360 --> 01:29:52,720 Speaker 3: and this is coming from motoring people over in the 1878 01:29:52,800 --> 01:29:55,320 Speaker 3: UK who've looked at the sales of convertibles and the 1879 01:29:55,400 --> 01:30:00,280 Speaker 3: number of convertibles on offer from various motoring brands go 1880 01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:02,360 Speaker 3: it looks like the thing is dying a death. There 1881 01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:05,120 Speaker 3: are not as many available to buy. This is just 1882 01:30:05,160 --> 01:30:07,280 Speaker 3: out of the UK right so it's not clear whether 1883 01:30:07,320 --> 01:30:10,680 Speaker 3: this is also happening in New Zealand, but probably not 1884 01:30:10,720 --> 01:30:12,880 Speaker 3: as many available to buy. The number of drop top 1885 01:30:12,880 --> 01:30:15,200 Speaker 3: models available to buy in the UK has fallen by 1886 01:30:15,240 --> 01:30:19,080 Speaker 3: forty five percent just in the last five years, basically halved. 1887 01:30:19,880 --> 01:30:22,840 Speaker 3: Sales have declined dramatically in the eighteen years between two 1888 01:30:22,880 --> 01:30:25,000 Speaker 3: thousand and four and twenty twenty two they had an 1889 01:30:25,040 --> 01:30:28,040 Speaker 3: eighty three percent drop in the number of convertible cars 1890 01:30:28,040 --> 01:30:30,400 Speaker 3: that were sold. They back in two thousand and four 1891 01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:34,040 Speaker 3: about ninety four thousand cars sold, twenty twenty two only 1892 01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:37,240 Speaker 3: sixteen thousand. That's a massive drop off. They've pointed out 1893 01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:42,400 Speaker 3: that our de lexis Smart, Jaguar, Nissan, Pergo, Reno, Toyota, Vauxel, 1894 01:30:42,520 --> 01:30:45,800 Speaker 3: and Volvo no longer offer any convertibles for sale, none 1895 01:30:45,840 --> 01:30:48,000 Speaker 3: at all. They used to, they do owned anymore now. 1896 01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:50,559 Speaker 3: The reason for this is probably they think because we've 1897 01:30:50,560 --> 01:30:52,840 Speaker 3: all moved into SUVs. Back in the day, it was 1898 01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:55,080 Speaker 3: Diana driving around in a convertible. Then we all wanted 1899 01:30:55,120 --> 01:30:57,360 Speaker 3: a convertible. But now you see all the celebs like 1900 01:30:57,400 --> 01:31:00,439 Speaker 3: the Kardashians and stuff driving around a gigantic Blackie, and 1901 01:31:00,520 --> 01:31:03,080 Speaker 3: now we want those instead. So SUVs are the new 1902 01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:05,679 Speaker 3: glam car to have. Also, you don't need to drop 1903 01:31:05,680 --> 01:31:07,640 Speaker 3: top if you've got a sun roof or one of 1904 01:31:07,680 --> 01:31:10,360 Speaker 3: those really like long, full length glass roof things that 1905 01:31:10,360 --> 01:31:12,639 Speaker 3: you often get in the in the suv. Our SUV's 1906 01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:14,439 Speaker 3: got one of those. I think I don't look up 1907 01:31:14,479 --> 01:31:16,599 Speaker 3: that often, but I think so. So then you don't 1908 01:31:16,600 --> 01:31:19,960 Speaker 3: need a convertible. Also, electric cars are a problem. They're 1909 01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:22,200 Speaker 3: expensive to make, so if you're playing a lot of 1910 01:31:22,200 --> 01:31:24,360 Speaker 3: money into electric cars, then you don't want to sell 1911 01:31:24,360 --> 01:31:28,280 Speaker 3: stuff that's not very profitable. So anything that's slightly less profitable, 1912 01:31:28,320 --> 01:31:31,360 Speaker 3: like convertibles, are dumped. And that's a pity, isn't it, 1913 01:31:31,439 --> 01:31:34,360 Speaker 3: Because there is nothing as fun if you've been in 1914 01:31:34,400 --> 01:31:37,920 Speaker 3: a convertible in summer. There's nothing as fun as driving 1915 01:31:37,920 --> 01:31:40,599 Speaker 3: around in the sun, is there? Sixteen away from seven? 1916 01:31:41,640 --> 01:31:42,320 Speaker 4: If it's to do. 1917 01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:45,760 Speaker 1: With money, it matters to you of a business hour 1918 01:31:45,920 --> 01:31:49,560 Speaker 1: where the head DUP Cllen and MAS for Trusted. 1919 01:31:49,200 --> 01:31:51,200 Speaker 4: Home Insurance Solutions news. 1920 01:31:51,000 --> 01:31:53,400 Speaker 3: Talks, that'd be Oh you want to see the latest 1921 01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:56,000 Speaker 3: from Tafano Upper Nui. Just hang on and run you 1922 01:31:56,040 --> 01:31:58,439 Speaker 3: through that. Thirteen away from seven, end of Brady UK 1923 01:31:58,479 --> 01:31:59,479 Speaker 3: correspondence with US. 1924 01:31:59,479 --> 01:32:01,880 Speaker 2: Hello Ender, Hey Heather, how are you? 1925 01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:04,840 Speaker 3: I'm very well? Thank you. How you enjoying having JD Vansentown? 1926 01:32:05,760 --> 01:32:09,160 Speaker 2: Well, that's very interesting the security detail this man brings 1927 01:32:09,200 --> 01:32:11,799 Speaker 2: with him. So he's in one of the most rural 1928 01:32:11,840 --> 01:32:15,960 Speaker 2: parts of England, the Cotswolds. He's staying at dean Manor, 1929 01:32:16,080 --> 01:32:20,639 Speaker 2: which is basically a golf balls drive away from David 1930 01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:24,439 Speaker 2: Cameron's house. You could hit Dean Manor from Cameron's backyard. 1931 01:32:24,479 --> 01:32:27,960 Speaker 2: I reckon with a wedge, that's how close he is 1932 01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:31,240 Speaker 2: to the Camerons. It's so quiet over there, there's nothing 1933 01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:34,479 Speaker 2: to do. It's farmland that I don't think he'd even 1934 01:32:34,479 --> 01:32:37,200 Speaker 2: find a pub open most days. It is really really 1935 01:32:37,280 --> 01:32:40,120 Speaker 2: remote and rural. And yet he's gone for lunch and 1936 01:32:40,160 --> 01:32:45,120 Speaker 2: his security detail took twenty vehicles. That was the size 1937 01:32:45,280 --> 01:32:50,080 Speaker 2: of the convoy. I've seen the pictures I've heard from locals. 1938 01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:54,720 Speaker 2: Twenty vehicle convoy for one man, one woman, and three 1939 01:32:54,800 --> 01:32:57,919 Speaker 2: children to go for lunch. Now, clearly he's vice president 1940 01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:01,080 Speaker 2: of the United States, but I don't think that would 1941 01:33:01,080 --> 01:33:03,639 Speaker 2: be going down well with the local population. It's mostly 1942 01:33:03,680 --> 01:33:08,519 Speaker 2: farmland and tractors and small lanes. And we're seeing American 1943 01:33:08,600 --> 01:33:11,040 Speaker 2: Secret Service agents pop up in the middle of nowhere, 1944 01:33:11,120 --> 01:33:13,519 Speaker 2: and people are spotting them a mile away because we're 1945 01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:15,240 Speaker 2: in the middle of a heat wave here, and these 1946 01:33:15,280 --> 01:33:16,360 Speaker 2: guys are wearing suits. 1947 01:33:17,880 --> 01:33:20,200 Speaker 3: You're really blending. And now what do you make of 1948 01:33:20,240 --> 01:33:22,720 Speaker 3: this chep who wanted to call the shoplift of scumbags 1949 01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:24,000 Speaker 3: and got told off by the coppers. 1950 01:33:24,920 --> 01:33:27,800 Speaker 2: I one hundred percent applaud this man and I would 1951 01:33:27,840 --> 01:33:30,280 Speaker 2: not be removing my signs from my shop. We're in 1952 01:33:30,280 --> 01:33:32,599 Speaker 2: the middle of never mind a heat wave. We've had 1953 01:33:32,600 --> 01:33:36,400 Speaker 2: a shoplifting epidemic here for years and if you go 1954 01:33:36,479 --> 01:33:39,360 Speaker 2: on social media you are type in London or any 1955 01:33:39,360 --> 01:33:41,960 Speaker 2: town in the UK and shoplifting. You will see people 1956 01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:46,800 Speaker 2: walking into business premises with huge rucksacks, wearing ballet lavas 1957 01:33:46,840 --> 01:33:49,439 Speaker 2: and clearing the shelves and they go for the good stuff, 1958 01:33:49,479 --> 01:33:52,240 Speaker 2: the expensive stuff, everything that can be sold on quickly. 1959 01:33:53,400 --> 01:33:57,080 Speaker 2: I just find it reprehensible that these people are getting 1960 01:33:57,080 --> 01:33:59,360 Speaker 2: away with this. One man has fought back in a 1961 01:33:59,400 --> 01:34:02,280 Speaker 2: tiny little shopkeeper in Wrexham, and what he's done is 1962 01:34:02,320 --> 01:34:05,800 Speaker 2: he's put a sign up. He sells vintage clothing and 1963 01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:08,000 Speaker 2: a lot of the good stuff. He's put behind cabinets 1964 01:34:08,200 --> 01:34:10,160 Speaker 2: and he's put a little sign up saying owing to 1965 01:34:10,360 --> 01:34:14,120 Speaker 2: scumbags shoplifting, please ask for the key if you want 1966 01:34:14,160 --> 01:34:16,680 Speaker 2: to inspect these items. I'm paraphrasing, but that's what he 1967 01:34:16,720 --> 01:34:19,400 Speaker 2: put on his sign. He got a visit from the 1968 01:34:19,400 --> 01:34:22,719 Speaker 2: police saying that his sign may cause offense. It gets 1969 01:34:22,760 --> 01:34:25,040 Speaker 2: even worse there was a lady in Kent who had 1970 01:34:25,040 --> 01:34:27,760 Speaker 2: a visit from the police this week. She decided to 1971 01:34:27,960 --> 01:34:32,480 Speaker 2: go to her CCTV capture some images of the shoplifters 1972 01:34:32,760 --> 01:34:35,640 Speaker 2: and plaster them around her shop, and she had a 1973 01:34:35,680 --> 01:34:38,880 Speaker 2: visit from the police saying that she was breaching their privacy. 1974 01:34:39,320 --> 01:34:40,040 Speaker 2: Can you believe? 1975 01:34:41,120 --> 01:34:43,519 Speaker 3: So what is going on with your police that dayad 1976 01:34:43,560 --> 01:34:45,000 Speaker 3: doing all these weird things? 1977 01:34:45,840 --> 01:34:47,800 Speaker 2: You never see them. First of all, I can tell 1978 01:34:47,840 --> 01:34:50,080 Speaker 2: you now, if I rang instead I've just been burgled, 1979 01:34:50,479 --> 01:34:53,000 Speaker 2: you might get a cop round here in a week. However, 1980 01:34:53,120 --> 01:34:56,160 Speaker 2: if I rang and reported a certain type of crime, 1981 01:34:56,640 --> 01:34:59,160 Speaker 2: or indeed, if I said, yeah, I've been burgled, but 1982 01:34:59,200 --> 01:35:01,240 Speaker 2: you know what I've got and I'm sitting on him 1983 01:35:01,320 --> 01:35:03,200 Speaker 2: right now and I'll deal with this, you'd have a 1984 01:35:03,200 --> 01:35:04,439 Speaker 2: cop round in five minutes. 1985 01:35:04,640 --> 01:35:08,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay. Now, this pilot who was found drunk in 1986 01:35:08,439 --> 01:35:11,840 Speaker 3: the hotel and naked. Was he in his own room 1987 01:35:11,960 --> 01:35:12,880 Speaker 3: or was he outside? 1988 01:35:14,320 --> 01:35:19,519 Speaker 2: He was everywhere roaming the hotel as if he owned us. 1989 01:35:20,080 --> 01:35:23,719 Speaker 2: The problem being that he was completely naked and very 1990 01:35:23,880 --> 01:35:26,960 Speaker 2: very drunk. And this was spotted by passengers who had 1991 01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:30,160 Speaker 2: flown with his airline a few days previously, and he 1992 01:35:30,280 --> 01:35:33,120 Speaker 2: was due to fly a group basically a plane full 1993 01:35:33,160 --> 01:35:36,280 Speaker 2: of people back from the Cape Verde Islands off West Africa. 1994 01:35:36,600 --> 01:35:39,639 Speaker 2: He was due to fly them four thousand, three hundred 1995 01:35:39,680 --> 01:35:43,559 Speaker 2: kilometers back to London Gatwick thirty six hours later. So 1996 01:35:43,640 --> 01:35:47,479 Speaker 2: he was quite rightly apprehended. He was reported and now 1997 01:35:47,560 --> 01:35:51,000 Speaker 2: easy Jet have suspended him pending an investigation. But one 1998 01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:53,160 Speaker 2: would imagine that is the end of his career as 1999 01:35:53,160 --> 01:35:56,760 Speaker 2: a pilot. Apparently he just started drinking from the minute 2000 01:35:56,760 --> 01:35:57,679 Speaker 2: they got to the hotel. 2001 01:35:57,920 --> 01:35:59,920 Speaker 3: Okay, and as you do, hey, Inda, thanks very much, 2002 01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:03,599 Speaker 3: appreciate it.

I know it's 2011 01:36:23,400 --> 01:36:25,880 Speaker 3: a girls car, Simon, but I'm a girl. It's just 2012 01:36:25,920 --> 01:36:28,000 Speaker 3: all be a surprise to you so I can. Actually 2013 01:36:28,360 --> 01:36:30,360 Speaker 3: I wouldn't drive it because I drive a Jeep. Because 2014 01:36:30,400 --> 01:36:33,080 Speaker 3: I do have a convertible. It's not really a convertible, though, 2015 01:36:33,160 --> 01:36:35,000 Speaker 3: is it. It's a drop top. It's like a soft 2016 01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:38,360 Speaker 3: top jeep. So it's just a bloody hassle to get that. 2017 01:36:38,400 --> 01:36:40,640 Speaker 3: When you take the roof off my jeep at the 2018 01:36:40,680 --> 01:36:43,040 Speaker 3: start of summer, you don't put it back on you 2019 01:36:43,479 --> 01:36:45,280 Speaker 3: you just check out on the car port, because that's 2020 01:36:45,320 --> 01:36:46,840 Speaker 3: just I don't know if you've ever tried to put 2021 01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:48,720 Speaker 3: a jeep Brangler's roof back on the old because I 2022 01:36:48,720 --> 01:36:50,360 Speaker 3: don't drive a new one as well, like it's twenty 2023 01:36:50,439 --> 01:36:52,479 Speaker 3: something years old, twenty years old or something like that. 2024 01:36:52,600 --> 01:36:54,479 Speaker 3: You can take a finger off when you're trying to 2025 01:36:54,479 --> 01:36:56,679 Speaker 3: put that roof back on, so it just stays off 2026 01:36:56,720 --> 01:36:58,920 Speaker 3: all summer and then it goes back on in the winter. 2027 01:36:59,280 --> 01:37:02,280 Speaker 3: But anyway, the point of the story is that I 2028 01:37:02,320 --> 01:37:05,200 Speaker 3: probably shouldn't have been born a girl. I'm obviously something 2029 01:37:05,240 --> 01:37:07,240 Speaker 3: I like to think. I'm a guiver, so I wouldn't 2030 01:37:07,240 --> 01:37:09,799 Speaker 3: be in an m X five, So thank you, Simon. Okay. 2031 01:37:09,840 --> 01:37:13,600 Speaker 3: So Tofino Uppernui is the East Coast Ewe who have 2032 01:37:13,720 --> 01:37:15,479 Speaker 3: been caught in a little bit of a thing with 2033 01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:18,280 Speaker 3: the government because they they were almost there with their 2034 01:37:18,280 --> 01:37:20,760 Speaker 3: treaty settlements and then remember the government they wanted. They 2035 01:37:20,800 --> 01:37:24,160 Speaker 3: wanted a little special clause in their treaty settlement whereby 2036 01:37:24,200 --> 01:37:26,600 Speaker 3: the government would admit that they never seated sovereignties to 2037 01:37:26,640 --> 01:37:28,640 Speaker 3: the crown. And then the government came out and we're like, 2038 01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:30,880 Speaker 3: we're not going to do that anymore because you did, 2039 01:37:31,400 --> 01:37:33,439 Speaker 3: or for all intents and purposes you now have to 2040 01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:36,400 Speaker 3: so blah blah whatever. So as a result of this, 2041 01:37:37,040 --> 01:37:41,559 Speaker 3: East Coast EWE Tofanoa Upnui has decided that it will 2042 01:37:41,560 --> 01:37:44,400 Speaker 3: now by the looks of things, just basically pump the 2043 01:37:44,400 --> 01:37:46,920 Speaker 3: brakes on the treaty settlement and they'll go no further. 2044 01:37:48,120 --> 01:37:51,720 Speaker 3: Tepati Mai co leader and to Finnuik spokesperson that are 2045 01:37:51,720 --> 01:37:54,160 Speaker 3: w e y t t said the issue.

It immediately undermines it, doesn't 2054 01:38:12,840 --> 01:38:17,040 Speaker 3: it anyway?
