1 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 1: Digging through the spin spins to find the real story. 2 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 1: Or it's Ryan Bridge on hither du for see Ellen 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: Drive with one New Zealand. Let's get connected and news talks. 4 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: They'd be good. 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 2: Afternoon. It is seven after four, coming up on the 6 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 2: show the Stadium showdown fizzles outs. We'll look at the 7 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 2: employment confidence dat out today. Basically it's down, but the 8 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 2: weare is interesting. We'll keep you across the quake in 9 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 2: the South Islands. Plus what is the most successful long 10 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 2: term investment asset class? Do you think we'll answer that question? 11 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 2: After five Murray Olds in Australia and we're in London before. 12 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: Seven, Bryan Bridge. 13 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 2: It's been two months now since the PM amputated Health 14 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 2: from Shane Vetti's list of ministerial jobs. In Comes the younger, smoother, 15 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 2: more direct, Simeon Brown. He got the job after the 16 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 2: polling numbers showed basically health was becoming a problem for 17 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 2: the government. It is still a big problem for the government. 18 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 2: Health is the second biggest worry for voters and older voters. 19 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 2: This is interesting. Older voters more worried about the state 20 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 2: of the health system and the most recent IPSOS survey 21 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 2: than the one before it. So the government had to act, 22 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 2: It had to do something, and it has. The health 23 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 2: budget now the biggest it's ever been national spending more 24 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 2: than Labour promised to it the last election. Since Simeon 25 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 2: took over, he's made and sold a compromise on Dunedin Hospital, 26 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 2: remember that debarcle. He's also announced ten thousand extra surgeries 27 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 2: will be performed by June. Ordinarily that would be excellent 28 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 2: and most welcome news, but today we've had senior doctors 29 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 2: complaining in the media about the fact that it's private 30 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,639 Speaker 2: hospitals will that will deliver the extra surgeries, not public ones. 31 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 2: One of these doctors is based in Northland. He said 32 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: it undermines the public system to have the private system 33 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: pecking up the public's slack. The surgeries will cost fifty 34 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 2: million dollars. Fifty million dollars for ten thousand surgeries. The 35 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 2: doctors reckon we could get more surgeries done in the 36 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 2: public system if the money was directed there. Here is 37 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 2: the problem with this argument and why nobody will be listening. 38 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 2: The very reason these patients are being seen to privately 39 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 2: is because they have been waiting for too long on 40 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 2: the public list. Think of Grandma and her hip, or 41 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 2: the cataracts or the knee operation, whatever take you pack. 42 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 2: The doctors may well be right that it would cost 43 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 2: less to do more through health end Z, but the 44 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,399 Speaker 2: fact is no one will care. Nobody who has been 45 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 2: waiting for years on a public list is going to 46 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 2: complain that they went to Mercy Ascot for a new knee. 47 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 2: Nobody whose mum or dad, or sister or brother got 48 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 2: their operations sorded will care who did it, where the 49 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 2: doctor was from, whether they were paid publicly or privately. 50 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 2: If there's capacity in the private system, why not use it? 51 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: And this is why sime and Brown was brought in 52 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: to bring down surgical wait times and guess what he liked. 53 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 2: Most voters don't care how the job gets done, Ryan Bridge, 54 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 2: And after four news talks there'd be nine ninety two 55 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 2: the numbered text.

You haven't 85 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 2: yet asked them how they identified this individual. 86 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 3: We need to wait for the review.

Have you asked them 92 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 2: how they identified this person or not? 93 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 3: Yes, I've asked them that and we're starting to work 94 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 3: our way through it. 95 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: What did they respond with? 96 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 3: They're responding with that. We're looking at our policies. We've 97 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 3: got policies and we need to go through those to 98 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 3: understand that the teams follow them on the day, and 99 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 3: that's what I've commissioned this review to do. We've escalated 100 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 3: it and usually our reviews can take some time. We're 101 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 3: going to have literinary report, you know, within the week. 102 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 2: Kath. I'm not asking what the policies and the processes are. 103 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 2: I'm asking what was done. They've told you what their 104 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 2: response was, why won't you tell us? 105 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 3: No, they haven't got the details of that response yet, 106 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 3: So again, I'm going to wait on that review and 107 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 3: make sure when I do come and discuss with full 108 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 3: permission of the girl's family about what issues we can discuss. Well, 109 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 3: then I'll have facts to share with you. 110 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 2: Was she injected with hallo paradol, the antipsychotic drug. 111 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 3: She look said, this is a privacy issue. The family 112 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 3: have asked us specifically not to share any details, and 113 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 3: so I'm going to stay with that at the moment. 114 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 3: We need to wait for the review. 115 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 2: Are there any long term health consequences for her from 116 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 2: this happening. 117 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 3: We're following up with the family and the girl regularly 118 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 3: there and then we'll wait for anything else that will 119 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 3: come from the review, from any medication or treatment that 120 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 3: was done in that period of time. 121 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 2: When somebody turns up at ed and let's say police 122 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 2: bring them, as was the case here, generally, what is 123 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 2: the policy. Do you check ID, do you try and identify, 124 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 2: particularly if there's a mental health then they turn up 125 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 2: in handcuffs, or do you just take the police's word 126 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 2: for it. 127 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 3: Look, I think that's a fair question to ask, and 128 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 3: you know, I've been talking with Acting District Commander Scott 129 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 3: Gemmel today where both both of our agencies need to 130 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 3: take carriage this of this and look into it with 131 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 3: some details. So that's that's what we we're outsitt of 132 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 3: at the moment. 133 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 2: Why did it take you two weeks to tell the minister. 134 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 3: Look, I think you know with the benefit of hindsight 135 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 3: that you know someone like they often has. I think 136 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,679 Speaker 3: we could have done things very differently. We have followed 137 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,119 Speaker 3: some processes and we're looking at why that notification didn't 138 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 3: go to the minister until just recently. 139 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 2: All right, Kathie, leave it there.

So if you do 174 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 2: happen to be around that area and close to the 175 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 2: water at the moment, then the advice is to not be. 176 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 2: It's just gone nineteen minutes after four Brian Bridge, Darcy 177 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 2: was Sport Darcy. Good afternoon. 178 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 5: They're tolf down south and look to myself, who's going 179 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 5: to be in the sea now down man? It's actually 180 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 5: hold on, it's Southland, plenty. 181 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 2: Of probably a lot of people. 182 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 5: Look after yourselves out there, full show. 183 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 2: Hey Whites are going to the Food of World Cup. 184 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 2: But it's quite an expanded field, isn't it. 185 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 5: Well, not as big as the one hundredth anniversary, it's 186 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 5: gonna be even more. It's small guns. We've talked about 187 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 5: this before and we'll talk about it tonight with Darren 188 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 5: Bazy's going to join us on the show. The head 189 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 5: coach or the gaffer, the manager of the All Whites. 190 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 5: Getting there is one thing. Getting out of your group. 191 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 5: That's the new demand because previously getting there was tough. 192 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 5: Yet to go through playoffs into continental playoffs, it was hard. 193 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 5: That's why I've only done twice when I say we. 194 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 5: I mean then he said on football teams, I had 195 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 5: nothing to do with it. But now with an easier 196 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 5: path because of direct qualification for Oceania, it's fairly simple. 197 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 5: You just have to beat the other Oceania teams. 198 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:44,719 Speaker 2: Which we've done with. 199 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 5: Relative ease, although first fifty five off and it's yesterday, 200 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 5: it was a bit sketchy bit anyway or sixty minutes. 201 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 5: So now it's a case of getting to the finals 202 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 5: and actually getting out of the group playing game to 203 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 5: the next round of thirty two. So that's got to 204 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 5: be the news to be as well, and of course 205 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,959 Speaker 5: it's not. That's going to be very difficult to a 206 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 5: World Cup. 207 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,479 Speaker 2: Ended Rugby says no to the NZACT Day Test. 208 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 5: And rightly so, because the idea is they wanted to 209 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 5: expand the idea instead of having two tests series, having 210 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 5: a three test series. So it happens every year, so 211 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 5: we've got to plead some cup maybe on the line 212 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 5: all the time. But when push comes to shove, it 213 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 5: would have fallen right in the middle of Super Rugby 214 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 5: Pacific season and INSI. I went, yeah, and I get that, 215 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 5: because what would happen is you basically have to take 216 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 5: all the All Blacks of import out of these Super 217 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 5: Rugby teams for a couple of weeks to the middle 218 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 5: of the Super season. It's hard enough as it is 219 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 5: when you hear this compulsory restaurantation with the All Blacks, 220 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 5: that's kind of devastated. The quality of Super rugby in 221 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 5: year has gone by. This time around is very much 222 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 5: a case by case, a player by player basis, Hey 223 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 5: is that guy exhausted, is a bit broken? What are 224 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 5: we going to do? So they're not taking all of 225 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 5: the best players from his ZWN point of view out 226 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 5: of Super Rugby and as a direct result getting a 227 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 5: much better product. I mean, you're getting their rest in 228 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 5: rotation because a lot of the beginning. 229 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, can you've seen that. You've seen that on the field, 230 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 2: don't you? Darcy? Thank You'll see you tonight. 231 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 5: Thank you.

This girl was not twenty bloody disgusting. 235 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 2: This is healthy and Z I don't know. It's a 236 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 2: busy ed. The police come in with a with a 237 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 2: young person and say this is the mental health patient. 238 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 6: Do you question it? 239 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,439 Speaker 2: You know, is that where this went wrong? Twenty one 240 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 2: after four news talks, he'd be. 241 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: Moving the big stories of the d forward. It's Ryan 242 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: Bridge on Heather Duper see Allen Drive with one New 243 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 1: Zealand let's get connected news talks. 244 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 2: They'd be twenty four minutes after four great to have 245 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 2: your company this afternoon. A westpacx Employment Confidence Index numbers 246 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 2: for marchar in and the result is not great. Down 247 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 2: three point three points to eighty eight point three. Remember, 248 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 2: anything less than one hundred is negative. And this is 249 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 2: going and asking households, asking people, asking us how we 250 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 2: feel about our job prospects, about you know, job opportunities, 251 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 2: about how much we expect to be paid. And we're 252 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 2: all feeling just a little bit bleaker than we were 253 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 2: in the previous quarter. In fact, we're down low where 254 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 2: we were during their COVID lockdown. That's how we're feeling 255 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 2: at the moment, well, at least up until March. Interesting though, 256 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 2: confidence was down in four out of eleven regions, but 257 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 2: the rest were actually either neutral or good. Auckland was down, 258 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 2: which obviously swings the results. Canterbury was down, but not 259 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 2: christ Church. It was outside of christ Church. It was 260 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 2: regional Canterbury, if you like. And they think that's probably 261 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 2: to do with the Smithfield Meat processing closure in Timaru. 262 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 2: But on the whole, looking at the whole country and 263 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 2: looking at the numbers from Westpac today, you would rather 264 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 2: be living in a rural farming area than you would 265 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 2: anywhere else in New Zealand at the moment. The economy 266 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 2: is just stronger there. Twenty six minutes after four really 267 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 2: interesting euthanasia numbers out of the Netherlands because we followed, 268 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 2: you know, obviously we changed our laws here and liberalized 269 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 2: and I personally agree with it. I think it should 270 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 2: be your decision. It's your life. If you are nearing 271 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 2: the end of it and you are in a whole 272 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 2: lot of pain, why shouldn't you have the choice. But 273 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 2: some interesting numbers, and their system over there is way 274 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 2: more liberal than ours, but people are trying to liberalize 275 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 2: ours even more. These numbers might be a warning. I'll 276 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 2: get to those a little bit later on. We'll look 277 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 2: at the electric boundary changes. Bad news for you, Greg O'Connor, 278 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 2: labor MP of o'hardo. You pretty much the only one 279 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 2: I think who's going to be in real trouble after 280 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 2: the changes that have been outs today and Eden Park, 281 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 2: the Auckland Stadium.

Elbow is getting 337 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 2: this budget right, he says, it's been like trying to 338 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 2: land a seven four seven on a helicopter pad. 339 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 10: Trying to get that inflation level down whilst making sure 340 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 10: we maintain employment, increase wages and defend people's living stand. 341 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 2: Finally, this afternoon, please this geese. 342 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 6: They're trying to murder me. 343 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 2: You have to watch white loaders to get that reference. 344 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 2: Former White Loaders star Jennifer Coolidge says the show has 345 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 2: been a big help to her love life. Collidge won 346 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 2: two Emmys and a Golden Globe for her work on 347 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 2: the show's first two seasons. She says that even though 348 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 2: her character Tanya was a complete weirdo Q, guys are 349 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 2: approaching her much more often than they were before she 350 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 2: did the show. 351 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: International correspondence with ins and Eye Insurance Peace of Mind 352 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business. 353 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 2: It is twenty two minutes away from five Murray Old's 354 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 2: Australia corresponds here Murray, good afternoon, Yeah, hi there here 355 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 2: you going good? Thank you? What's in the budget? 356 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 11: Well, it's what we don't know. I suppose it will 357 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 11: be the most intriguing thing tonight. It's Jim Charmer's fourth 358 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 11: budget the opposition. Nice line from the opposition. It's a plan, 359 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 11: the opposition says, for the next five weeks, not the 360 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 11: next five years. And the five weeks reference of course, 361 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 11: until the next election. This is a budget the government 362 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 11: really didn't want. If it wasn't for cyclone, Alfred, I 363 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 11: suspect very much that we'd already been in full campaign 364 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 11: mode because Anthony Albineze would have pulled the trigger already, 365 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 11: he couldn't because of the cyclone's impact on southeast Queensland 366 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 11: and northern New South Wales. So this is what we're 367 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 11: left with. And we know it's going to be about 368 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 11: cost of living. We already know, for example, there's going 369 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 11: to be one hundred and fifty bucks back and energy 370 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 11: payment to everybody is not means tested everyone in Australia, 371 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 11: so James Packer will get it, along with someone who's 372 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 11: homeless and unemployed. They'll all get a one hundred and 373 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 11: fifty dollar energy rebate. You're going to have massive spending 374 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 11: on health, on Medicare, supporting medicare, creating more payment free 375 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 11: visits to doctors. And basically there's so much uncertainty surrounding 376 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 11: his budget because what's going to happen in terms of 377 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 11: any new tariffs that might be applied against say pharmaceuticals 378 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 11: or Australian beef or other exports that Australia makes into 379 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 11: the United States. We simply don't know. There's so many 380 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,199 Speaker 11: things that are up in the air, and it depends 381 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 11: entirely with Donald Trump's next move is in terms of tariffs. 382 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 11: So look it's a budget for the here and now. 383 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 11: It's a budget to get us to an election in 384 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 11: the next few weeks. Peter Dutton has his budget reply 385 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 11: speech on Thursday. But I've read it at least one 386 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 11: analysis over here the last forty eight hours. There's a suggestion, 387 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 11: God help us, that Anthony Elberonezi will go to the 388 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 11: Governor General on Thursday this week and call the election 389 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 11: to take any wind out of Dutton's sales on Thursday 390 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 11: night when he stands up in the Parliament to deliver 391 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 11: his budget reply. Look, that may just be complete hyperbole. 392 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 11: I don't know I've read it. I'm just putting it 393 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 11: out there. I haven't heard it from anyone. I don't 394 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 11: even know. I don't even remember. Actually, I had to 395 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 11: be honest where I read it. There might be some 396 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 11: evil conspiracy. 397 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 2: Great to know your chicking the facts for us, Murray. 398 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 11: Oh my facts sacred? You know that? 399 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 5: Look at Donald Trump. 400 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 2: Facs Hey, Queensland. What's happening with the stadium? They've been 401 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 2: protests reviewed, even you know your premier is what's the deal? 402 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 11: Well, I'll give you two figures. It was one thousand, 403 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 11: three hundred and forty three days ago. That Brisbane was 404 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 11: awarded the Games. There are now two thousand, six hundred 405 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 11: and seventy seven days out from the opening ceremony. They've 406 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 11: wasted an awful amount of time, but we finally do 407 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 11: have what the brand new government's landed on, and that 408 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 11: is for those who know Brisbane, it's a beautifully laid 409 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 11: out city based around the Brisbane River and right there 410 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 11: at the northern edge of the CBD there's a glorious 411 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 11: bit of parkland right that's going to be the home 412 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,479 Speaker 11: of the brand new Olympic Stadium. Locals are furious, well, 413 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 11: you know the locals who loved that bit of parkland. 414 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 11: They say it's the lungs of the city. But it's 415 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 11: also an absolute primo venue for a brand new, multi 416 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 11: billion dollar Olympic stadium. They were looking at the Gabba. 417 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 11: The game has been around i think since eighteen nineties, 418 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 11: the eighteen nineties, but it's run down and clapped out. 419 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 11: It's also used for cricket of course, for cricket tests 420 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 11: and for Australian rules footy through the winter, so that's 421 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 11: been scrubbed. It's going to be a brand new pool 422 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 11: and a brand new suburb that's going to be created 423 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 11: a bit like Sydney did twenty five years ago. They 424 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 11: built a brand new pool to accommodate twenty five to 425 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 11: thirty thousand spectators for the Olympic Games. That it was 426 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 11: scaled right back after the Games. That's going to happen 427 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 11: in Brisbane, and also a brand new suburb to house 428 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 11: all the athletes. That happened in Sydney, it's going to 429 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 11: happen in Brisbane as well. Expect some more announcements in 430 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:33,880 Speaker 11: the days they had and a whole lot more protest. 431 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 11: That's all I can say. 432 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 2: Fascinating. At least I've made a decision. Murray, Thank you. Murray. 433 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 2: Old's our Australia Correspondence with all the facts this afternoon, 434 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 2: seventeen away from five Ryan Bridge after five, we're going 435 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 2: to talk about our battle for a stadium, a national 436 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 2: stadium in Auckland, and it's just had a major roadblock. 437 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 2: That roadblock being Auckland Council's senior staff who've come out 438 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 2: and said it is not worth. We don't have enough 439 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 2: public money to pump into a revamped Eden Park, and 440 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 2: we don't have enough public money to do the fancy 441 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 2: waterfront show stopper Pandy Dropper Stadium that everyone's talking about 442 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 2: that's getting people excited down there on the waterfront. So 443 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 2: basically we don't have enough money to do anything that. 444 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 2: Comparing us to Brisbane, at least they have an event 445 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 2: that they're working up to. You know, they have seven 446 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 2: years now to get this thing done. At least there's 447 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 2: a timeline. We don't even have a timeline. We've basically 448 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 2: got nothing. But we'll talk about that after five News 449 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 2: Talks THEREB. Barri Soper next. 450 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: Politics with Centrics Credit, check your customers and get payments Certainty. 451 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 2: News Talks Thereb. It is fourteen minutes away from five. 452 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 2: Barris soapis here. Hey Barry, good afternoon, right, good afternoon 453 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 2: to you. Now the boundary changes have been redrawn. The 454 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 2: big loser, but I'm. 455 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 7: Not so sure. Actually, right, don't you reckon Ahu does go, 456 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 7: there's no doubt about that. But essentially the Representation Commission 457 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 7: looks at numbers and electorates and Wellington's been fairly stagnant 458 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 7: when it comes to population. Really, if there was going 459 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 7: to be a new electorate or one taken away, I'm sorry, 460 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 7: it would have been here on Auckland. But they've resisted 461 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 7: that at the moment. But by creating two new electorates 462 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 7: in the Wellington region, Kenna, Peru and Kapati, they'll be 463 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 7: called they remove as you say, Ohru, Manna and Altaki. 464 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 7: Now the Wellington Electric of RONGATAI will absorb parts of 465 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 7: Wellington Central, including the suburbs of Mount Cork and Brooklyn. 466 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 7: Now they would be more sympathetic to the Greens. I 467 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 7: would imagine constituents in that area. And when you look 468 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 7: at Wellington Central, it would then take in parts of 469 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 7: a Harriu, including the more wealthy Wadestown, Nio and Kindala. 470 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 7: Now I wouldn't imagine that they won't be as sympathetic 471 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 7: to the Greens. So the loser in all of this 472 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 7: be Tamitha Paul of the prisons being full of impoverished 473 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 7: people and not violent people, and a visitor to the 474 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 7: convicted killer Dean Wickliffe saying that he should get out 475 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 7: before he dies of his Honger strike. So she's got 476 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 7: the Wellington Central electorate with six thousand and six thousand majority. 477 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 7: Now I think she will be more concerned about these 478 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 7: boundaries than anybody else. 479 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 2: I agree with you, but she will the Greens I 480 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 2: think will keep her high on the list knowing that yes, indeed. 481 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 2: And then Greg O'Connor is obviously he's the electorate only 482 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 2: they're not going to put him homeless, so he's the 483 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 2: one that's out of a job. 484 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 7: That's actually a very good point the public. They can 485 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 7: make submissions now until basically written, until the twenty seventh 486 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 7: of April, and then counter objections and finally will see 487 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 7: the final boundaries on the eighth of August. 488 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 2: There's what's the Green's dirty word? 489 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 7: Oh my goodness me and I was listening to Parliament 490 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 7: again today. I think we all know what it is, 491 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 7: and it's called profit. The Greens were once again showing 492 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 7: their economic knowledge when it came to questioning the Prime 493 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 7: Minister in the House today. First it was the co 494 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,199 Speaker 7: Leader Chloe Swarbrick having a go at the government for 495 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 7: its drive to encourage foreign investment to this country. Clearly, 496 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 7: there's a dirty word in the Greens vocabulary. Like I said, 497 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 7: it is profit. It seems these investors should come to 498 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 7: New Zealand because they love the country and they should 499 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 7: treat us as a charity. Haven't listened to Swarbrick's line 500 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 7: of questioning. 501 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 6: To the companies that the Prime Minister is asking to 502 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 6: build our schools, roads and hospitals want to make a profit. 503 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,679 Speaker 12: That they may well do, and I would hope they 504 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 12: would want to see a return. But what I'm excited 505 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 12: about is that there is massive interest from investors who 506 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 12: want to build public infrastructure in New Zealand, and the 507 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 12: benefits to New Zealanders economically, socially and environmentally are profound. 508 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 13: Will that the private companies make through his governments intended 509 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 13: public private. 510 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 6: Partnerships stay in altero in New Zealand or go offshore. 511 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 12: Well, again, our focus is on attracting investment to New 512 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 12: Zealand so we can get public infrastructure built. 513 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 7: It's about economics. But later in questions to luxon the 514 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,439 Speaker 7: other co leader of the Greens marvel with Davidson, she 515 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 7: was again using that dirty word when it came to 516 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 7: the public health system, which you mentioned in your editorial, 517 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 7: using private hospitals to reduce waiting lists, which they've been 518 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 7: doing now in this country for many years. You could 519 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 7: be forgiven for lux And pulling out his hair if 520 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 7: he had any to pull out, but this was his 521 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 7: rationale against Davidson when it came to farming out work 522 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 7: to the private sector. 523 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 12: You're lying on a bed looking up at a selling 524 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 12: You're less hung up as to whether it's been done 525 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 12: in a public system or a private system. You just 526 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 12: want relief done as quickly as possible. 527 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 14: Does he think New Zealanders will be happy to know 528 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 14: that our collective resources are being spent on helping private 529 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 14: companies make profit of healthcare. 530 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 12: I think when New Zealanders are facing a massive witless 531 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 12: for elective surgeries and getting access to first specialist appointments, 532 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 12: what they want is a government that's focused on patients 533 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 12: and outcomes for patients. 534 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, well, i'd say here here to that. I mean, honestly, 535 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 7: profit is clearly not expected by the Greens on anything. 536 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 2: No, Berry, I don't know if I can handle these 537 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,719 Speaker 2: sessions any longer. If you keep coming in here and 538 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 2: bringing us grabs from Parliament like that, I don't know 539 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 2: how much longer we can do this. It just, I mean, 540 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 2: it will put us in hospital if we keep listening 541 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 2: to it. 542 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 5: The mind boggles, doesn't it know? 543 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 7: Really, When you listen to the logic behind some of 544 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 7: these questions, you think, hang on, is this person in 545 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 7: the same country as us. 546 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 5: Are they on the same wavelength. 547 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,080 Speaker 7: The answer is they're in the same country but on 548 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 7: the same way length. 549 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 2: Barry Soper, senior political correspondent at news Coalk zed be 550 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 2: great to have you. As always, it is nine minutes 551 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 2: away from five. 552 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 1: Putting the tough questions to the newspeakers, some mic asking breakfast. 553 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 15: Desire mister joint us, tell me how you can have 554 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 15: a wind farm? The wind farm was rejected under the 555 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 15: previous government's fast train it right, So how is it 556 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 15: you can't have a renewable facility under fast say? 557 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 2: What do you need to do well? 558 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 16: First of all, that's under Parker's old fast track provisions. 559 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 16: That was insanely stupid. What we've got under our fast 560 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 16: tracked legislations. Our priority is on economic growth. 561 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 15: But then you've got these issues. For example, a council 562 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 15: stopping the clock on building is one. How much resistance 563 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 15: are you facing from people who will use every mechanism 564 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 15: possible to stall you, slow you and run their own agenda. 565 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 16: We're pretty clear eight about it, which is that we're 566 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 16: facing a massive culture in New Zealander. 567 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 15: No back tomorrow at six am. The mic asking breakfast 568 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 15: with the rain drover of the laugh News talk ZB. 569 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 2: Five away from five. Somebody has said, did Barry just 570 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 2: use the word logic and greens in the same sentence. 571 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 2: There is no logic to any of their brains. I 572 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 2: would like to think. I would like to think that 573 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 2: there is. I'd like to think that there is a 574 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 2: nice middle ground where you can kumbai our on a 575 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 2: whole bunch of stuff, including health. But I just don't 576 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 2: think we're anywhere near close to it at this point. 577 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 2: Another is Ryan, have you been to fullsythe bar or 578 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 2: to the cake Tin? Both dumps? They're both dumps. Give 579 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 2: me Eden Park any day. I can drive and walk 580 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 2: in ten minutes to the ground. I have zero desire 581 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 2: to go to the city where the homeless and scumbags 582 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 2: are living. Leave it to the leafy suburb of Mount 583 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 2: Eden right by Auntie Helen. Okay, quite a firm view 584 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 2: on where the stadium should be. We'll talk about that 585 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 2: after five o'clock. Watch out this week for the government's announcement. 586 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 2: Remember we spoke to Nichola Willis last night about this. 587 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 2: The government is going to make an announcement on the 588 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 2: supermarket crackdown. They're going to try and open up Cabinets 589 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 2: made a decision. Nichola Willis told us that last night 590 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 2: they're going to try and open up and attract a 591 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 2: new large supermarket player to set up shop here in 592 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 2: New Zealand. 593 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,959 Speaker 13: There are real barriers to a large scale new entrant 594 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,719 Speaker 13: and the point is that it's good having a niche 595 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 13: grocery provider open, but unless you get someone who's opening 596 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 13: up multiple stores, it's hard to get that competition impact. 597 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 13: So that's something I've been engaging with a range of 598 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 13: smaller players and that's something I've identified and it's clear 599 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 13: to me that the government will need to take further 600 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 13: action in this space. Cabinet has made some decisions here 601 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 13: and we will be making announcements in the next week. 602 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 2: There you go. So that was last night. Keep your 603 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 2: eye up for an announcement on that this week. The 604 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 2: big question for the government is how when super markets 605 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 2: are so profitable right now, if you were an international player, 606 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 2: you'd be looking at this market surely saying I want 607 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 2: to get in there. If you're going to make it 608 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 2: less profitable, who's going to want to come here then? Anyway, 609 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 2: we look at the stadium and we'll look at employment 610 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 2: after fight. 611 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 1: So questions, answers, facts analysis, the drive show you trust 612 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 1: for the full picture. Brian Bridge on Heather Duplicy Allen 613 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: Drive with one New Zealand let's get connected news talks. 614 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 2: That'd be good evening at a seven, half to five. 615 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 2: I'll look at the employment numbers in just a second 616 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 2: right now, though, the stadium showdown for our national Stadium 617 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 2: in Auckland. Auckland Council staff have been looking into this. 618 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 2: Do you jazz up Eden Park? Do you go for 619 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 2: the glitzy new waterfront stadium with a fifty thousand capacity? 620 00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 2: Which one are you going to go for? The council 621 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 2: staff have come back and said basically neither. Neither proponent 622 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 2: has demonstrated that their proposal is feasible without significant public funding. 623 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 2: Now the council will vote on this on Thursday. This 624 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 2: on the same day Brisbane announces a sixty thousand capacity 625 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 2: brand spanking News stadium that will open for the Olympics 626 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 2: in twenty thirty two. Shane Henderson is with me tonight. 627 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,280 Speaker 2: He's the Auckland Counselor and chair of the Stadium working Group. 628 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 2: Good evening, John, how's it going good? Thank you? 629 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 10: So? 630 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 2: Is that about right? The staff have said neither is 631 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 2: going to work financially. 632 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 17: Yes, staff have said there's issues with both proposals, particularly 633 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 17: financially what the key Park proposal is also kind of 634 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,359 Speaker 17: further difficulties around kind of the technicality of what they're 635 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,360 Speaker 17: trying to do down there. So yeah, both bids have 636 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 17: some issues exactly. 637 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 2: So what was the point in getting council staff to 638 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 2: look at them in the first place. 639 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 17: Well, I think we've got to get the people in 640 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 17: the room that can kick the tires on the finances 641 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 17: and every other kind of aspect of it to give 642 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 17: us that advice that's come back and advanced Thursday and 643 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,800 Speaker 17: it said, look, they're both fighting to a draw. Well, 644 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 17: I think, honestly, Ukland is one a bit more certainty 645 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 17: than that, and I think it's still open to us 646 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 17: to endorse one of the two options. 647 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 2: So what do you expect will happen on Thursday That 648 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,720 Speaker 2: there'll be a stay of proceedings, you know, let's pause 649 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 2: until we can get more information. 650 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,280 Speaker 17: I think that's an option, is to stay the proceedings 651 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 17: and let it sort of set for a bit and 652 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 17: get more and so and let teams work on it. 653 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 17: But another option, honestly is to put on the table 654 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 17: one of the two options and get counselors to vote 655 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,399 Speaker 17: on it, and if it does pass, then we've got 656 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,320 Speaker 17: some certainty for Aucklanders and the team that is successful 657 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 17: can go ahead and work on those issues. 658 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 2: Anyway, which one would you vote for? 659 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 17: Look, honestly, I'm leading towards eden Park two point one. 660 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 17: At the stage we can stage that development so that 661 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,360 Speaker 17: it can the risk is a bit more manageable and honestly, 662 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 17: looking at the report and the advice, they've got a 663 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 17: few less issues of the two. 664 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 2: But here's the thing with eden Park that's going to 665 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 2: cost tax payers. They want to hunt million dollars to 666 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 2: jazz it up. You know. Yeah, that's all very well 667 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 2: and good for you to vote for, but what about 668 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 2: the rest of the country. I'm going to be happy 669 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:09,879 Speaker 2: with that. 670 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 17: Yeah, I can understand that. And look, as part of 671 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 17: our process is Augland Council. We've been very clear that 672 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 17: ratepayers money is not in the equation and so they 673 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 17: need to knock on some doors themselves, even Parker choosing 674 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 17: to knock on the government store. And I'd suggest that 675 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,879 Speaker 17: if any kind of private funding they can attract would 676 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:27,880 Speaker 17: be very appropriate as well, we don't know what the 677 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 17: outside is from the government, all. 678 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 2: Right, Shane, thanks very much for being with me. Shane Henderson, 679 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,360 Speaker 2: who is the chair of the Stadium Working Group organd counselor. 680 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 2: It is ten auf to five people around the country 681 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 2: feeling pretty pessimistic about their chances of getting a job. 682 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 2: The wes Pac McDermot Miller Employment Confidence Index, which is 683 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 2: where you go out and ask people how are you 684 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 2: feeling about your job prospects, it's dropped to eighty eight 685 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 2: point three. That is the lowest level since September twenty twenty, 686 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 2: which was after the lockdowns, So that's not a great 687 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,840 Speaker 2: stat Michael Gordon's Westpac senior Econosty's with me. Now, Hi, Michael, 688 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,959 Speaker 2: good afternoon. Why are things looking so Why are people 689 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 2: feeling so grim? 690 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 18: Well, I think it's the reality of jobs are still 691 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:12,319 Speaker 18: pretty hard to come by. We hear from certainly from 692 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,360 Speaker 18: businesses that while they're some of them are having trouble 693 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 18: fillings more specialist roles, but they're tending to find that 694 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 18: there's generally a lot of people available, and some of 695 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,359 Speaker 18: them also finding themselves a bit overstaffed having held on 696 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 18: to people through the downturn, So there's just not a 697 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,799 Speaker 18: lot being advertised at the moment, and that's rarely been 698 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:34,919 Speaker 18: the biggest driver of that perception that things are pretty 699 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 18: tough in the jobs market at the moment. 700 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 2: Depends where you live, though, doesn't it. I mean, you 701 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,400 Speaker 2: look at some of the regions and actually things are 702 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 2: looking quite good. 703 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 18: It varies a bit, I think, probably more so in 704 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,919 Speaker 18: terms of earnings and the job opportunities is what's coming 705 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 18: through in our survey. Whither I will obviously the exceptions. 706 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 18: I think there's been stories about quite a bit of 707 00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 18: activity around recent and parts of the West Coast as well, 708 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,360 Speaker 18: But generally we sort of found that there's sort of 709 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 18: a bit more variation in It's sort of more the 710 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 18: farming areas where they're seeing some pretty decent gains from 711 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,800 Speaker 18: high dairy and beef prices. Is not necessarily flowing out 712 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,439 Speaker 18: into spending in the wider regions yet, but certainly those 713 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:21,839 Speaker 18: more directly linked to it are finding things a bit 714 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 18: better than those of us in the cities. 715 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 2: Michael, When is it going to get worse? When does 716 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 2: it end? And and you know, when does the confidence return? 717 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,400 Speaker 18: The labor market tends to be one of the slower 718 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,720 Speaker 18: things to turn with the cycle. So even if you 719 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 18: consider those GDP figures we had last week, so we've 720 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 18: got some growth out of it, it's probably the underlying pictures. 721 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,920 Speaker 18: It's not really out stripping population growth at the moment. 722 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,879 Speaker 18: So it'll take a bit more than what we've seen 723 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 18: to date to sort of really actually be able to 724 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 18: start to generate some jobs. And and as a result 725 00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,400 Speaker 18: of that, we're expecting the unemployment rate is going to 726 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 18: go a bit higher this year before it peaks. We're 727 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 18: not talking, you know, peak, really high peaks compared to 728 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,279 Speaker 18: what we've seen in some past cycles, but you know, 729 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 18: undoubtedly it's you know, it's quite a bit different from 730 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 18: where we were a couple of years ago when there 731 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,920 Speaker 18: was very you know, we're all very low rates of unemployment. 732 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,760 Speaker 2: All right, Michael, thanks so much for your analysis. Michael Gordon, 733 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:23,360 Speaker 2: Westpac Senior Economists, twelve minutes after five. Coming up in 734 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,879 Speaker 2: a few moments, we're going to talk to somebody who's 735 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:30,560 Speaker 2: been studying investment trends, returns on investments for some pretty 736 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 2: weird alternative assets. But it's fascinating because they're looking at 737 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 2: you know, your stop, your traditional your stock market your property. 738 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:42,239 Speaker 2: What are your average earnings per year versus some more 739 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 2: obscure investments like wine, like whiskey, even lego. That'll be 740 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,480 Speaker 2: interesting chat coming away in just a few minutes very quickly. 741 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:55,720 Speaker 2: Some stats on euthanasia from the Netherlands. Because the reason 742 00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,800 Speaker 2: this is significant is because we passed euthanasia legislation in 743 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 2: New Zealand to dying and it's to help those who 744 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 2: are at the end of their life. We now have 745 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 2: people pushing to expand the scope and the definition so 746 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 2: that more people can have access to that, and it's 747 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 2: all based on the system from the Netherlands. Now, the 748 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,760 Speaker 2: Netherlands have just released some stats. In the past year, 749 00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 2: euthanasia was up ten percent, which is unusual because it's 750 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,480 Speaker 2: not new there. It's the oldest and broader system in 751 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:29,400 Speaker 2: the world. Deaths have gone from nine thousand to ten thousand, 752 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 2: which is significant. Doctors are worried specifically about psychiatric illness, 753 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,720 Speaker 2: mental illness and dementia. That number increased from one hundred 754 00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,760 Speaker 2: and thirty eight in twenty twenty three to two hundred 755 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,759 Speaker 2: and nineteen in twenty twenty four. So some are saying, well, 756 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,439 Speaker 2: this is natural as you get aging population but others 757 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 2: are saying, this is why you shouldn't include mental illness, 758 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 2: things like dementia and your definitions, because you start to 759 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,879 Speaker 2: open up four people to you know, to end their 760 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:08,560 Speaker 2: lives legally and with the assistance of a doctor, when 761 00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,600 Speaker 2: that is not exactly what you want when you're setting 762 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,840 Speaker 2: the legislation out in the first place, and certainly not 763 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,919 Speaker 2: what people intended. Fourteen after five Newstalk SVB News Talks 764 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 2: HEB Seventeen minutes after five, somebody has texted to say 765 00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,359 Speaker 2: how much are the Ossie's going to spend on this 766 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,759 Speaker 2: new stadium in Brisbane. I can tell you that they 767 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 2: have revealed today. This is the stadium they've announced today 768 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,560 Speaker 2: that is sixty thousand capacity that will be open in 769 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:36,080 Speaker 2: time for the twenty thirty two Olympics. Three point eight 770 00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:41,720 Speaker 2: billion Australian dollars for a sixty thousand capacity. Seventeen after 771 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 2: five new research shows that you might be better off 772 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 2: investing your money into Whiskey and Lego rather than the 773 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 2: share market. Whiskey came out on top with an average 774 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:54,720 Speaker 2: annual return of seventeen point five two percent over ten years, 775 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 2: while more traditional investing into the S and B five hundred, 776 00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,600 Speaker 2: for example, return just twelve percent a year over a 777 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:04,120 Speaker 2: long period. Gertja and verdict is the University of Auckland 778 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 2: finance lecture. Who's been looking into this is with me now, 779 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,880 Speaker 2: good evening, Thank you for having me. How realistic is 780 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,080 Speaker 2: that making lots of money off Lego? 781 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,799 Speaker 8: Well, it's not really that realistic in terms of percentage 782 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 8: is amazing, but we're talking about actual small amounts of money. 783 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,880 Speaker 2: How much have you found people are investing in stuff 784 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:26,600 Speaker 2: like lego or whiskey. 785 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 8: More than than you would think. So Lego is slowly 786 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,560 Speaker 8: building up, but the drinkable so wine and whiskey, especially 787 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,480 Speaker 8: since the pandemic has increased significantly. 788 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,040 Speaker 2: Give us the numbers. What what is you know? The 789 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 2: top three owners. 790 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,120 Speaker 8: So in terms of actual percentage, like whiskey is by 791 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,240 Speaker 8: far number one. Then we have baseball cards, which also 792 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,359 Speaker 8: has as a very nice return than we are at 793 00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:53,600 Speaker 8: wine and Lego. 794 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,520 Speaker 2: So baseball cards, let's peck them out. So between nineteen 795 00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,200 Speaker 2: eighty seven and twenty twenty three they posted an every 796 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:04,280 Speaker 2: annual return of thirteen percent a year, which is incorrect 797 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 2: more than the S and P five hundred return per 798 00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 2: year over twenty years. That's correct, yes, And I mean, 799 00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,319 Speaker 2: what is this research telling us we should go and 800 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:16,680 Speaker 2: pile our money there. 801 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:21,120 Speaker 8: No, definitely not. What this research shows is that there 802 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 8: is value in adding an additional component to your traditional 803 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:31,239 Speaker 8: portfolio of stocks and bonds, because having something real, something tangible, 804 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 8: is worth something, and it can produce a very nice 805 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,839 Speaker 8: additional return on top of your normal portfolio. 806 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,960 Speaker 2: Do you have any little extra or alternative investments yourself. 807 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 8: So, I'm myself a wine expert. I do research on 808 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,799 Speaker 8: wine as well, so I have a small proportion of 809 00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:55,560 Speaker 8: my portfolio dedicated to wine, and I'm also consulted for 810 00:43:55,680 --> 00:44:00,279 Speaker 8: wine investment funds, which I do not disclose in the book. 811 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,040 Speaker 8: So all the examples in the book are not something 812 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:04,239 Speaker 8: I'm affiliated with. 813 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,880 Speaker 2: Ah, so are the funds that will manage your money 814 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,640 Speaker 2: for you and invest in alternative assets like this, because 815 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 2: I mean, for your average punter, learning about baseball cards 816 00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,040 Speaker 2: or lego or whatever it might be, you know, quite 817 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:18,399 Speaker 2: a time consuming thing to do. 818 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,200 Speaker 8: So that's something we actually show in the book. So 819 00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 8: you have a direct investment where you can actually go 820 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,800 Speaker 8: and buy your lego set, but we also offer a 821 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 8: lot of indirect options as well. So Art for instance, 822 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,280 Speaker 8: there's growing platforms online where it can buy a small 823 00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,640 Speaker 8: piece of art but also wine. As I mentioned the 824 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:44,399 Speaker 8: wine investment funds Whiskey similar issue, similar thing. You have 825 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:48,160 Speaker 8: whiskey investment funds as well. So there are indirect options 826 00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,239 Speaker 8: which we clearly show what the benefits are also what 827 00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:52,480 Speaker 8: the disadvantages are. 828 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 2: Within the book, Dan give us you a hot tip 829 00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,200 Speaker 2: on wine. What should we be buying? 830 00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 8: So Australian w is actually pretty pretty good at the moment. 831 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,080 Speaker 8: So think about your pen Falls for instance. That is 832 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:09,480 Speaker 8: something that there's growing interest across the world. People are 833 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:14,480 Speaker 8: moving away from your traditional Bordeaux French style line and 834 00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:19,880 Speaker 8: moving more into this Californian, Australia and Argentinian wines. 835 00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,839 Speaker 2: Hard thing about that, and you mentioned pen Folds is 836 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,800 Speaker 2: actually keeping it and not drinking it exactly. 837 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,320 Speaker 8: There's a small imsen consumption and investment. 838 00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,719 Speaker 2: This certainly is gets you on, thank you for your time. 839 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:35,279 Speaker 2: Getsion verdict who's University of Auckland finance lecturer, and the 840 00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:39,960 Speaker 2: verdict is out. Basically, your wine collection is worth something. 841 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 2: Don't bother with the share market twenty one after five. 842 00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:44,680 Speaker 2: You might have heard this mentioned on the show before, 843 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:48,200 Speaker 2: but One New Zealand satellite is officially here and it's 844 00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:51,680 Speaker 2: a total game changer. The world first tech provides satellite 845 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:55,800 Speaker 2: powered mobile coverage in places traditional cell towers just don't reach, 846 00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:59,040 Speaker 2: which is around forty percent of our land. Mask With 847 00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,360 Speaker 2: an eligible fire and a plan, One New Zealand customers 848 00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,000 Speaker 2: can now text anywhere they have line of sight to 849 00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,400 Speaker 2: the sky.

The 851 00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,920 Speaker 2: one Z teamer pitching it as a peace of mind 852 00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:17,040 Speaker 2: in your pocket, which I quite like an additional layer 853 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,440 Speaker 2: of communication where the most remote parts of New Zealand. 854 00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:24,000 Speaker 2: But also when dare I say it, a natural disaster 855 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,480 Speaker 2: strikes and the cell towers go down temporarily, you can 856 00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:30,960 Speaker 2: literally text in the middle of nowhere.

Visit one dot 859 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,359 Speaker 2: enz forward slash. 860 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:46,400 Speaker 1: Satellite Informed inside into today's issues. It's Ryan Bridge on 861 00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:50,399 Speaker 1: Hither duplicy Ellen drive with One New Zealand. Let's get 862 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:51,800 Speaker 1: connected news talks. 863 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,040 Speaker 2: The'd be by twenty five on news talks. There'd be 864 00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,640 Speaker 2: great to have your company this evening. So the Representation 865 00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,880 Speaker 2: Commission has come out with their decision today and welling 866 00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:05,520 Speaker 2: Toon is losing an electorate. O'hariu will be gone, Mana 867 00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:09,280 Speaker 2: and Autucky electorates will also be gone, but more moved 868 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:13,080 Speaker 2: and renamed than anything else. Ohariu is the one that's 869 00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:17,560 Speaker 2: really gone. They had to delete one from the North 870 00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:22,320 Speaker 2: Island due to the population changes. Basically, there are quotas 871 00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,080 Speaker 2: that must be met in order to have a certain 872 00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,000 Speaker 2: number of electorates, and there are fewer people living in 873 00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,560 Speaker 2: the Lower North Island of New Zealand and you've got 874 00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:34,000 Speaker 2: to keep things equal. The Lower North Island population is 875 00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:37,520 Speaker 2: below the target quota, which is actually true of Auckland 876 00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,840 Speaker 2: as well. But what they've done is taken into account 877 00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:45,080 Speaker 2: population growth projected population growth. So while Wellington is below 878 00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:48,280 Speaker 2: quota and Auckland is below quota, they've gone well Auckland 879 00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:52,400 Speaker 2: is going to increase, whereas Wellington's population is expected to decrease. 880 00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,080 Speaker 2: So lots of movement on the boundaries, too many to list. 881 00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,040 Speaker 2: But the wain thing you need to take away from 882 00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:00,680 Speaker 2: today is that a har Au is gone and that 883 00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:06,280 Speaker 2: means that Greg O'Connor, Labor MP is gone. Why because 884 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:11,719 Speaker 2: he went electorate only. Remember last time, last election he 885 00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,600 Speaker 2: said he would quit if he didn't hold onto his 886 00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:20,160 Speaker 2: electorate seat. Now the seat is gone. Therefore, ipso facto, 887 00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:27,680 Speaker 2: so is Greg O'Connor. Ryan Bridge past past, goodbye Greg O'Connor. 888 00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,440 Speaker 2: Good evening twenty seven After five news talks EB A 889 00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,400 Speaker 2: lot of key was working.

News stats for you 892 00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:40,359 Speaker 2: after six? 893 00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:43,719 Speaker 1: Oh aren't you on?

Guess how 903 00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,720 Speaker 2: many people over ninety are still working in New Zealand. 904 00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:33,759 Speaker 2: Twelve hundred Pretty impressive right now. Earlier, just well, just 905 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,200 Speaker 2: before news I said, how old was Greg O'Connor and 906 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,200 Speaker 2: postured that perhaps he was over the age of seventy. Well, 907 00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:44,080 Speaker 2: he's sixty six years of age, Ryan, I reckon greg o' 908 00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,680 Speaker 2: connor would be sixty seven, Simon, you were close. Another says, Hi, 909 00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:51,960 Speaker 2: this is for Greg O'Connor. How's the Johnsonville Mall redevelopment progressing? 910 00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:56,560 Speaker 2: If for anyone who knows anything about Johnsonville Johnsonville Mall, well, 911 00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,000 Speaker 2: the reason you don't is because we don't go there. 912 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:03,120 Speaker 2: There's nothing to The redevelopment has been in the works 913 00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:07,200 Speaker 2: for possibly death. In fact, I think since the eighties, 914 00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:11,319 Speaker 2: since the thing has been going. So there you go, 915 00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:14,520 Speaker 2: Ohari you the electric no more? And Greg O'Connor, well, 916 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,279 Speaker 2: no he's not no more, but his time as the 917 00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:21,840 Speaker 2: MP is no more. Twenty four minutes away from six Cranbridge, 918 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:26,040 Speaker 2: event promoter Brent Eenkles has made a suggestion for how 919 00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,600 Speaker 2: to avoid another Juicy Fest De Barkle They to catch 920 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:31,640 Speaker 2: you up on this. The promoter of the Juicy Fests 921 00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:36,400 Speaker 2: and Timeless Summer events have gone bust. It's looking like 922 00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,440 Speaker 2: people who bought their tickets to those events won't be 923 00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,640 Speaker 2: able to get refunds because the money's well, it's all gone. 924 00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:46,200 Speaker 2: Brent Eckles of Eckles Entertainment spoke to Matt and Tyler 925 00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:50,120 Speaker 2: on ZB afternoons. He says ticketing companies should be forced 926 00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:53,120 Speaker 2: to hold on to all the ticket money until after 927 00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:54,480 Speaker 2: an event has actually happened. 928 00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,560 Speaker 18: The only effect would be that the punter is protected 929 00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,560 Speaker 18: and if things go wrong and do go wrong and 930 00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:03,400 Speaker 18: go wrong for there as well. But you know that 931 00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,680 Speaker 18: the money, the ticket money goes straight back to the 932 00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,319 Speaker 18: ticket buyer as the very person you do it for 933 00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:10,200 Speaker 18: show is canceled. 934 00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:14,000 Speaker 2: So how would this work with smaller productions? Owen Evans 935 00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:17,040 Speaker 2: is an event promoter managing director of Low Fire Productions. 936 00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:21,040 Speaker 2: Hello Owen, good, but how are you good? Thank you? 937 00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:24,920 Speaker 2: So how does it normally work if it's particularly a 938 00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:29,360 Speaker 2: smaller event. Would you hold on to the money and 939 00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,760 Speaker 2: till the event or do you need to spend it? First? 940 00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:37,960 Speaker 19: Look that this is very nuanced. We've been on both sides. 941 00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,920 Speaker 19: We're dealing with an industry with a massive lack of 942 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,839 Speaker 19: integrity a lot of the time. So whereas I don't 943 00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:50,040 Speaker 19: have the answer, but I will say the sides that 944 00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:54,600 Speaker 19: we are. We if the ticketing company held onto the 945 00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:58,680 Speaker 19: ticketing money until after the event, we wouldn't be able 946 00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,960 Speaker 19: to throw events. We we rely on early bird ticketing 947 00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:03,960 Speaker 19: and ticketing systems to get cash flow and so that 948 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:08,239 Speaker 19: we can throw events. Now where of the size where 949 00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:11,839 Speaker 19: we that where how we work is we will we 950 00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:15,439 Speaker 19: will throw four or five smaller gigs a year, club 951 00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,719 Speaker 19: gigs to get money in the bank, and then we'll 952 00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:21,200 Speaker 19: take a risk on a festival and usually most of 953 00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,400 Speaker 19: the time festivals lose money. We do it for the 954 00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,120 Speaker 19: love and the passion. It's just the size we are. 955 00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:29,520 Speaker 19: We're also we'relso housing techno in a country that predominantly 956 00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:33,440 Speaker 19: predominantly loves drum and bass, so we're always up against it. 957 00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:36,480 Speaker 19: But if we didn't have that cash flow, we wouldn't 958 00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:39,879 Speaker 19: be able to to run. Basically, so you. 959 00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,280 Speaker 20: Would kill You would kill a lot of. 960 00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:47,799 Speaker 19: Small time promoters like myself if you went down that track. 961 00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,360 Speaker 2: What's the reason gigs are normally canceled? Is it? Is 962 00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,200 Speaker 2: it usually because the artist pulls out, or you know, 963 00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:57,840 Speaker 2: because they often give the excuse, you know, un forseen 964 00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:00,440 Speaker 2: circumstances or whatever. What's the real reason it stopped? 965 00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:02,319 Speaker 20: Well, I. 966 00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:05,080 Speaker 8: Don't know. 967 00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:09,920 Speaker 19: For us, the only the only time we struggled to 968 00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,280 Speaker 19: pay people was either a knock on effect from from 969 00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:16,279 Speaker 19: not being paid by other people or things like the 970 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:20,399 Speaker 19: floods and COVID and we we had to we had 971 00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,600 Speaker 19: to dig into our own pockets to pay that or 972 00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,759 Speaker 19: I think with the I think with COVID we had 973 00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:28,279 Speaker 19: to do a couple more gigs to get the money 974 00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:33,000 Speaker 19: and to pay the past bills. But yeah, if if 975 00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:39,160 Speaker 19: if an act cancels, we're so far we're so far 976 00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:42,840 Speaker 19: away from everything that, like, if an act cancels, you 977 00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,640 Speaker 19: can't just replace it with another DJ or act because 978 00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,239 Speaker 19: we don't have that level of quality and pull in 979 00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,680 Speaker 19: the z We have acts that are amazing, But if 980 00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:53,719 Speaker 19: you have an act that pulls ten thousand people and 981 00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:56,120 Speaker 19: then they pull out, like you can't replace theme like 982 00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,239 Speaker 19: she had or something and expected to work like. 983 00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:05,120 Speaker 2: Answer, So the tyranny of distance.

It's on Evans. He's an 986 00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:13,080 Speaker 2: event promoter, pushing back a little bit at this idea 987 00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:17,560 Speaker 2: that you should get all big festivals, small festivals, any 988 00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,279 Speaker 2: size festival to hold onto all the ticket money until 989 00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:23,160 Speaker 2: the event has actually been held to avoid another juicy 990 00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:24,200 Speaker 2: fest twenty to six. 991 00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:29,000 Speaker 1: The Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty, the ones 992 00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:30,960 Speaker 1: with local and global reach. 993 00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:33,560 Speaker 2: On the Huddle tonight, Ali Jones, red pr good evening, 994 00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:35,120 Speaker 2: Ali Gooday? 995 00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:35,600 Speaker 21: How are you right? 996 00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:37,880 Speaker 2: Good? Thank you? And Nick leggets with us to Infrastructure 997 00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:41,720 Speaker 2: New Zealand. Hey Nick, Hello, So how do we feel 998 00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:47,480 Speaker 2: about taxpayer funding for a revamped A bit of lipstick 999 00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:50,200 Speaker 2: on Eden part to the tune of one hundred million dollars. 1000 00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:53,760 Speaker 2: This is what they have proposed. Auckland councils get to decide. 1001 00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:57,440 Speaker 2: They're going to decide on Thursday. Ali, how do you feel? 1002 00:54:58,480 --> 00:54:58,640 Speaker 1: Well? 1003 00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:03,280 Speaker 21: Look, I'm stoked about our what do you call it? Stadium? 1004 00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:03,600 Speaker 21: Thank you? 1005 00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:05,480 Speaker 22: That's the word I'm looking for, which is due to 1006 00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:08,120 Speaker 22: open next year. And I think one of the things 1007 00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:09,680 Speaker 22: that a number of people have been saying for a 1008 00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:13,280 Speaker 22: while is, because of course these things always create conversations 1009 00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:15,800 Speaker 22: and arguments and disagreements, is that it's never going to 1010 00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:18,160 Speaker 22: get any cheaper, right, So whatever the decision is, I 1011 00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,480 Speaker 22: think it needs to be made. One of the things 1012 00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,640 Speaker 22: that I've noticed is reading up a bit about this, 1013 00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:24,680 Speaker 22: because you know, I don't really care about what's. 1014 00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:25,240 Speaker 21: Built in Auckland. 1015 00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:29,640 Speaker 22: Ryan, is that the transport is a real issue here, 1016 00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:32,720 Speaker 22: and you tell me this, but apparently there are limited 1017 00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:36,440 Speaker 22: transport options and limited by the Kingsland station. I do 1018 00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:38,880 Speaker 22: know where that is and I have used it, and 1019 00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,319 Speaker 22: I would have thought that a stadium in the middle 1020 00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:43,279 Speaker 22: of the city is the way to go. Isn't that 1021 00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,719 Speaker 22: going to bring in many economic benefits? 1022 00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:50,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, although we do have the supposedly we do have 1023 00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:53,120 Speaker 2: the City rail Link coming which should help, which should 1024 00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:57,520 Speaker 2: help with that situation. But the other issue here is 1025 00:55:57,600 --> 00:55:59,799 Speaker 2: the one hundred million dollars from the government that they're 1026 00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:00,360 Speaker 2: one that. 1027 00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I mean these things are expensive. I agree 1028 00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:09,920 Speaker 6: with Ali though that make a decision and get it going. 1029 00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:13,160 Speaker 6: But I do care about what goes on in Auckland. 1030 00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,239 Speaker 6: That's such a massive part of our economy and a 1031 00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:17,880 Speaker 6: massive part of our country. So they do need to 1032 00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:21,719 Speaker 6: get this right. And also I think being connected to 1033 00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:24,440 Speaker 6: public transport and other transport. You know, you think about 1034 00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:30,480 Speaker 6: connection to the shore, new connection hopefully to the North Shore, 1035 00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:34,479 Speaker 6: another harbor bridge option or tunnel, and also, as you say, 1036 00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:38,640 Speaker 6: the City rail link. It's really important. This is central 1037 00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:41,120 Speaker 6: It's also really important that we don't just see it 1038 00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:44,319 Speaker 6: as a stadium in isolation. What can go around it? 1039 00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,000 Speaker 6: Places for people to work, places for people to shop, 1040 00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,480 Speaker 6: places for people to live. We've got to stop thinking 1041 00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:53,760 Speaker 6: about these things as sort of singular pieces of infrastructure. 1042 00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:57,759 Speaker 6: It's about what can you grow around it? And yeah, look, 1043 00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:01,520 Speaker 6: I'm city center all the way, and we've got to 1044 00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:04,280 Speaker 6: build the sort of connections that we need so people 1045 00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:05,680 Speaker 6: can get to it and get around it. 1046 00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:09,000 Speaker 22: You are so right, though, Nick, about changing the mindset 1047 00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:10,839 Speaker 22: about it just being a stadium. That was a big 1048 00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,040 Speaker 22: part of what we did in christ Church. So you know, 1049 00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:16,000 Speaker 22: we didn't even use the words stadium. We used the 1050 00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:21,320 Speaker 22: phrase multi use arena or multi use stadium. And now 1051 00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:25,040 Speaker 22: they're calling it a multi functional arena. And you're absolutely right. 1052 00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:28,520 Speaker 22: It cannot be a place that you know, lights up 1053 00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:31,640 Speaker 22: when there's an event and then dies when there's nothing happening. 1054 00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:33,040 Speaker 21: That's just not the way. 1055 00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:33,160 Speaker 6: To do it. 1056 00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:36,800 Speaker 2: Hey, I've seem to remember a figure of about six 1057 00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:40,240 Speaker 2: hundred million dollars for Takaha. Is that on budget? And 1058 00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:43,080 Speaker 2: how far far how far away is it from opening? 1059 00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:43,880 Speaker 21: Yeah? 1060 00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,640 Speaker 22: On budget on time, six hundred and eighty three million 1061 00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,320 Speaker 22: all up, and that was with government contribution as well. 1062 00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:51,400 Speaker 22: So the council put four hundred and fifty three in 1063 00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,000 Speaker 22: and government put in two hundred and thirty and that 1064 00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:56,439 Speaker 22: came from a number of different funds and things. 1065 00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:58,520 Speaker 21: After the earthquakes. They started building it in. 1066 00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:01,200 Speaker 22: April twenty twenty two and on track to be open 1067 00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:02,880 Speaker 22: in April twenty twenty six. 1068 00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:06,439 Speaker 2: That sounds like a steal to me right now. I'm 1069 00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,040 Speaker 2: just reading about in Brisbane they've announced today their Olympic 1070 00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:13,080 Speaker 2: Stadium opening twenty thirty two. The cost is three point 1071 00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:16,520 Speaker 2: eight billion Australian for a sixty thousand capacity. 1072 00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:19,200 Speaker 22: But twenty twenty two it started, and you know how 1073 00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:21,720 Speaker 22: construction costs have gone up, so you know, with those 1074 00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:24,880 Speaker 22: sorts of figures, it's not unreasonable to expect that kind 1075 00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:25,200 Speaker 22: of cost. 1076 00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:27,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, good point, Ellie Jones read pr Nick leg Get 1077 00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:29,120 Speaker 2: back in just a few moments and we're going to 1078 00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:33,400 Speaker 2: pick Allie's brain about some quite controversial comments on disability 1079 00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:34,200 Speaker 2: car parks. 1080 00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:37,800 Speaker 1: The Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty. 1081 00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,800 Speaker 2: Find you all, what of a kind news talk, said b 1082 00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:43,960 Speaker 2: Allie Jones and Nick Leggett on the huddle tonight. Nick, 1083 00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:47,360 Speaker 2: you were obviously former mayor of Puttydor and some big 1084 00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:51,840 Speaker 2: boundary electric boundary changes have taken place which will affect Mana, 1085 00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:55,560 Speaker 2: which is where Pottydor is. Give people a sense of 1086 00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:59,240 Speaker 2: what the change means for you know you your average voter. 1087 00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:04,000 Speaker 6: Well, yes, I mean Mana was formed in nineteen ninety 1088 00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:07,280 Speaker 6: six when MMP came on the scene, and it was 1089 00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:11,360 Speaker 6: great because we finally had an electorate that covered the 1090 00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:13,400 Speaker 6: whole of put It to a city which is now 1091 00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:17,720 Speaker 6: a city of approaching sixty thousand people, not insignificant, and 1092 00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:21,600 Speaker 6: actually I think it helped bring the city together because 1093 00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:26,080 Speaker 6: Mana will put It is very diverse, lots of different 1094 00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:30,640 Speaker 6: socioeconomic groups, lots of different cultural and ethnic groups, and 1095 00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,520 Speaker 6: I think we've been more together as a result of 1096 00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:38,400 Speaker 6: having one electra. So I'm not wrapped at this. It 1097 00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:40,600 Speaker 6: takes us back to first pass the post days when 1098 00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:42,680 Speaker 6: the northern part of the city went up to Carpody. 1099 00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,440 Speaker 6: Carpety Coast has its own electric now with this new 1100 00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:50,600 Speaker 6: bit of putt It and obviously the Orhardi electorate really 1101 00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:54,080 Speaker 6: gets sort of split three three ways. But it goes 1102 00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:56,200 Speaker 6: to south, it goes to Welling and Central and then 1103 00:59:56,280 --> 01:00:00,560 Speaker 6: quite a big bit goes into Mana. So look, I've 1104 01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:03,200 Speaker 6: got no problem with unifying North Wellington and put it on. 1105 01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:05,440 Speaker 6: I mean, I'm a big fan of amalgamation in the region. 1106 01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:08,560 Speaker 6: We only need one council here, so you know, perhaps 1107 01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:12,920 Speaker 6: that might bring things along there. But yeah, so sad 1108 01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,880 Speaker 6: for me, but I sort of understand. You know, Wellington 1109 01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:18,000 Speaker 6: in the region is not growing like other parts of 1110 01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:20,200 Speaker 6: the country, so we've lost an electric seat. That's the 1111 01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:23,720 Speaker 6: consequence people. When you don't grow your population and you 1112 01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:25,800 Speaker 6: don't grow your economy and you don't get it together 1113 01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:30,120 Speaker 6: as a region, you lose stuff. And we've got to 1114 01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:30,760 Speaker 6: do better there. 1115 01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:34,240 Speaker 2: Ellie, I want to talk to you about the disability 1116 01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:38,880 Speaker 2: car parks thing.

Thanks for asking. 1118 01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:47,960 Speaker 22: My god, the pearl necklace clutching and outcry was just extraordinary, Ryan, 1119 01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:51,640 Speaker 22: I don't know what you understood from from what was reported. 1120 01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:54,320 Speaker 22: Why was it even a story? What I said was, 1121 01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:58,560 Speaker 22: does anyone ever see these five or so car parks 1122 01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:02,400 Speaker 22: mobility car parks Roliston av in christ Church? Does anyone 1123 01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:05,040 Speaker 22: ever see them used? Because you know I'm down there 1124 01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:07,800 Speaker 22: a bit. I cycle down there just quietly and go 1125 01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:10,440 Speaker 22: to the Loomier Cinema and the Art Center and the gardens, 1126 01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:14,520 Speaker 22: and I never or very very rarely see any vehicle 1127 01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:16,240 Speaker 22: in there at all. So I just posted it. Does 1128 01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:19,480 Speaker 22: anyone ever see it? It's crazy if they're not used. Well, 1129 01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:23,560 Speaker 22: I've been told to resign. My behavior is appalling. I've 1130 01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:28,600 Speaker 22: been despicable, behaved in an entitled and privileged way. And 1131 01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:31,520 Speaker 22: the echo chamber pylon was what you'd expect on something 1132 01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:34,560 Speaker 22: like Facebook. So what I did was engage with everyone. 1133 01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:38,080 Speaker 22: I don't do the post and ghost thing. So I 1134 01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:41,560 Speaker 22: engaged and I repeated back what people were accusing me of. 1135 01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:46,080 Speaker 22: So are you saying that elective members should not ask questions. 1136 01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:46,440 Speaker 21: About et cetera? 1137 01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:46,720 Speaker 18: Set? 1138 01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:47,400 Speaker 8: Do you know? 1139 01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:49,800 Speaker 21: I had people just not even bother responding. 1140 01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:52,240 Speaker 22: So they have a poke, they have a go, and 1141 01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:54,800 Speaker 22: then they just don't engage, and it's just cowardly. 1142 01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:57,680 Speaker 2: Really, did you get an answer to your question? Did? 1143 01:01:57,800 --> 01:01:58,040 Speaker 8: I mean? 1144 01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:01,520 Speaker 2: It has anyone's right? So what is it? 1145 01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:02,680 Speaker 21: And it was great? And it was great. 1146 01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:05,680 Speaker 22: The answer was yes. So I had one person come 1147 01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:08,800 Speaker 22: on and say no, I'd never seen anyone in them, 1148 01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:12,000 Speaker 22: And then I had about half a dozen to eight 1149 01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,120 Speaker 22: come on and say yes I use them, or yes, 1150 01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:17,120 Speaker 22: my husband and I use them when we go to 1151 01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:20,280 Speaker 22: the gardens. Another woman said yes, and we need more 1152 01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:22,640 Speaker 22: at the hospital because I can never find one there. 1153 01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:25,480 Speaker 22: And so it was actually a really good conversation on 1154 01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:30,400 Speaker 22: my page until we got these bloody pearl necklace handbag clutching, 1155 01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:35,120 Speaker 22: you know, outraged people just turning it into a political 1156 01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:38,960 Speaker 22: storm that it didn't need to. So, yes, it was useful. 1157 01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:41,200 Speaker 2: I think, Look, I'm with you, Nick. I don't know 1158 01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:43,160 Speaker 2: about you, but I'm with Ali. You should be able 1159 01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:46,760 Speaker 2: to ask questions like that. You know, it doesn't matter 1160 01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:50,000 Speaker 2: how controversial it might seem. You need to be able 1161 01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:52,640 Speaker 2: to ask some basic questions about whether a city is 1162 01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:53,640 Speaker 2: functioning well or not. 1163 01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:59,680 Speaker 6: I'm completely with Elie the job of an elected representative. 1164 01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:02,720 Speaker 6: We want to ask more questions in this country. There's 1165 01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:06,080 Speaker 6: too much head nodding. Now. I don't know whether what 1166 01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:08,440 Speaker 6: the answer to Ali's question is. It doesn't matter. The 1167 01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:12,959 Speaker 6: principle is that you're elected to ask questions on half 1168 01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:17,720 Speaker 6: of your community, and there's no You shouldn't assume any 1169 01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:21,120 Speaker 6: agenda from a question. You should just take it at face. 1170 01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:25,880 Speaker 6: Value and answer it. So Alie, congratulations.

They're not 1208 01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:29,600 Speaker 2: all violent after six o'clock. Meghan Markle speaking of people 1209 01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:32,760 Speaker 2: who shouldn't be working because it's just infuriating. She's launched 1210 01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:37,360 Speaker 2: a website today selling some design bits that she is 1211 01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:40,240 Speaker 2: wearing in her latest TV show for Netflix. If you've 1212 01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:44,040 Speaker 2: seen it, it's horrendous.

How relatable. And the website's 1215 01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:58,240 Speaker 2: name I wrote it down. The website's name. 1216 01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:00,280 Speaker 23: Is look come on right, our listeners all tea ply 1217 01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:01,480 Speaker 23: wanting to go there and buy all this. 1218 01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:04,640 Speaker 2: Stuff in the website if you're interested. She's told her 1219 01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:07,000 Speaker 2: two point six million Instagram followers, so if you're one 1220 01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:10,480 Speaker 2: of them, you'll know. But the name was something like 1221 01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:14,160 Speaker 2: the Duchess of Sussex, you know, using that name, and 1222 01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:17,840 Speaker 2: I just thought, oh, how techy, how techy to be 1223 01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:22,400 Speaker 2: selling a six hundred pound pair of sandals using the 1224 01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:23,040 Speaker 2: Royal mona. 1225 01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:24,680 Speaker 23: If you're going to sell them for that much, Ryan, 1226 01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:26,360 Speaker 23: you probably want them people to know that there are 1227 01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:27,880 Speaker 23: duchesses sandals. 1228 01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:30,400 Speaker 2: That's right, That is a good point. Otherwise, what's the point, 1229 01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:45,240 Speaker 2: you know? Warehouse sandals three to six. 1230 01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:46,200 Speaker 1: The keeping track of where the money is flowing.

Jamie McKay joins 1235 01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:04,600 Speaker 2: us in Endebrady in the UK, where the labor government 1236 01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:09,560 Speaker 2: is reportedly apparently eyeing up cuts to the school lunch program. 1237 01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:13,600 Speaker 2: Quite ironic right now. Data shows that kiwis continue to 1238 01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:17,520 Speaker 2: work well past the age of retirement sixty five in 1239 01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:20,440 Speaker 2: New Zealand. This is stats in z Data out today 1240 01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:24,560 Speaker 2: Reports says two hundred thousand senior citizens are still in 1241 01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:31,320 Speaker 2: the workforce. More interestingly, twelve hundred people still working hard 1242 01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:35,760 Speaker 2: today are in their nineties. Martin Hawes is a financial 1243 01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:40,120 Speaker 2: advisor and author of Retirement Ready. He's with me tonight, Hi, Martin, Yeah, Hi, 1244 01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:45,120 Speaker 2: they're Ryan. That's wonderful actually to hear twelve hundred ninety 1245 01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:46,720 Speaker 2: plus year olds in the workforce. 1246 01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:50,160 Speaker 24: Yes, yes, it is. I'm you know, I'm not sure. 1247 01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:52,720 Speaker 24: They won't be working full time. They won't do six 1248 01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:55,160 Speaker 24: hours a week or forty hours a week. You know, 1249 01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:59,520 Speaker 24: a lot of them will probably be professionals who you know, 1250 01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:03,320 Speaker 24: they toddle back into the office, you know, once a 1251 01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:06,040 Speaker 24: week or so to have a look and act as 1252 01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:08,720 Speaker 24: a consultants or something to the firm. Some of them 1253 01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:12,600 Speaker 24: will be self employed, They'll be doing clerical work. That 1254 01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:16,320 Speaker 24: could be the odd taxi driver, but not terribly many 1255 01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:21,960 Speaker 24: of them. I wouldn't think, yeah, but I think it's wonderful. Actually, 1256 01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:25,680 Speaker 24: the whole trend of people working after a time and 1257 01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:29,640 Speaker 24: age is absolutely huge. The figure I really like to 1258 01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:33,960 Speaker 24: look at is that in nineteen eighty seven, thirteen percent 1259 01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:37,679 Speaker 24: of people aged sixty five to sixty nine were working. 1260 01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:41,719 Speaker 24: In twenty twenty four, that figure had jumped from thirteen 1261 01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:45,720 Speaker 24: percent to forty eight percent, So almost the majority of 1262 01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:48,960 Speaker 24: sixty five to sixty nine year olds are working in 1263 01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:50,320 Speaker 24: so called retirement. 1264 01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:53,920 Speaker 2: Question is why. I mean, obviously there's health will have 1265 01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:58,719 Speaker 2: improved and access to medical care, ETCeteras improved, but people 1266 01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:01,439 Speaker 2: working because they have to, well, because they want to 1267 01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:02,280 Speaker 2: keep contributing. 1268 01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:05,160 Speaker 24: I think there's the four main reasons, and the first 1269 01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:07,120 Speaker 24: one is, as you say, it's the money. A lot 1270 01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:09,559 Speaker 24: of people need the money. It's probably the majority. I 1271 01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:11,839 Speaker 24: think I have seen a figure on that at some stage, 1272 01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:15,320 Speaker 24: but not a recent one. And you know, the extra 1273 01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:17,840 Speaker 24: was a little bit of money for say, you know, 1274 01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:20,599 Speaker 24: fifteen or twenty hours a week or something like that 1275 01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:23,800 Speaker 24: makes a really big difference to the lifestyle of retirement. 1276 01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:28,240 Speaker 24: Sometimes it's the only person who can do the job. 1277 01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:31,080 Speaker 24: You know. So Madge has done the books for a 1278 01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,759 Speaker 24: company for ages. She knows how it's done, and everybody 1279 01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:39,680 Speaker 24: wants around saying, god, Madge doesn't look retire, and so 1280 01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:43,080 Speaker 24: she feels pressure and she carries on doing it. Sometimes 1281 01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:47,160 Speaker 24: it's owning a business like you know, farmers and and 1282 01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:50,400 Speaker 24: lots of other small businesses. But also and I fit 1283 01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:53,920 Speaker 24: into this category because I'm seventy two and I'm still working. 1284 01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:55,800 Speaker 24: It's simply what they do. 1285 01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:56,439 Speaker 18: You know. 1286 01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:59,040 Speaker 24: I get up in the morning and I like to 1287 01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:02,000 Speaker 24: look at what's going on the markets overseas. I like 1288 01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:05,880 Speaker 24: to look at what the geopolitic, the geopolitical stuff has 1289 01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:09,880 Speaker 24: been going down it. You know, it's a lot of 1290 01:10:09,880 --> 01:10:12,000 Speaker 24: other stuff that I like to do, But I like 1291 01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:14,360 Speaker 24: I've always liked my work. 1292 01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:17,240 Speaker 2: And the routine of it as well. People often talk 1293 01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:19,960 Speaker 2: about the routine of it. One of the interesting numbers 1294 01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:22,240 Speaker 2: to come out of this is over sixty fives. There 1295 01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:25,200 Speaker 2: are actually a lot of machinery operators ten percent of 1296 01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:29,120 Speaker 2: those working over sixty five machinery operators. I don't imagine 1297 01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:32,839 Speaker 2: this is hugely labor intensive stuff, although we're not really sure, 1298 01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:35,559 Speaker 2: but do you think what do you think is behind that? 1299 01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:37,800 Speaker 2: Is that because perhaps they're the only ones left to 1300 01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:40,120 Speaker 2: know how to operate the machine. 1301 01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:43,240 Speaker 24: I did runder that when I read it, and then 1302 01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:46,400 Speaker 24: somebody else said that they may be managing the people 1303 01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:51,519 Speaker 24: who are actually managing running the machines. So they may 1304 01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:54,519 Speaker 24: not be hands on or you know, they may not 1305 01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:57,840 Speaker 24: have an apron on to use the building term, but 1306 01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:01,040 Speaker 24: they may be managing somebody else to do it and 1307 01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:02,360 Speaker 24: help them. 1308 01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:06,360 Speaker 2: Yeah. Interesting, Martin, keep up the good work at seventy two, 1309 01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:10,519 Speaker 2: you're going strong.

I feel like if I do, I will die. 1313 01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:20,920 Speaker 2: A lot of people say that the day you stop 1314 01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:23,960 Speaker 2: work is the day you die. You know, you you 1315 01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:26,360 Speaker 2: got to keep going and it keeps you going as well. 1316 01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:30,360 Speaker 2: Nine the number to text brad Olsen, no stopping him. 1317 01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:32,280 Speaker 2: He's on the Cherry Export Boom. 1318 01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:36,920 Speaker 1: Next, it's the Heather dupas Allen Drive Full Show podcast 1319 01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:40,799 Speaker 1: on my Heart Radio empowered by newstalg Zebbi. 1320 01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:45,240 Speaker 2: We all do it.

I'm talking about cherries this evening. This season, 1342 01:12:56,640 --> 01:13:00,719 Speaker 2: we exported five million kilos of cherries. That's up thirty 1343 01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:03,360 Speaker 2: three percent on last year. Significant brad Olsen is the 1344 01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:06,040 Speaker 2: inmplemtric's principal economisties with me to night break, good evening, 1345 01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:11,000 Speaker 2: good evening. So cherries, cherries everywhere where are we sending them? 1346 01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:13,920 Speaker 25: Well, the bulk of the cherries that we're exporting are 1347 01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:17,960 Speaker 25: heading off to particular Asia. The likes of Taiwan was 1348 01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:21,000 Speaker 25: the biggest market, but Asia in general was taking well 1349 01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:24,080 Speaker 25: over ninety five percent of what we send out. That's 1350 01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:26,840 Speaker 25: usual and sort of not too much of a shift there, 1351 01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:29,720 Speaker 25: But what was interesting was where some of those other 1352 01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:33,960 Speaker 25: smaller countries, but we're taking some bigger cherry exports this year. 1353 01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:37,759 Speaker 25: In particular, the US are seeing quite a big increase 1354 01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:40,800 Speaker 25: relatively speaking on what they normally take, but also the 1355 01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:43,920 Speaker 25: Middle East normally taking just about no cherries, but this 1356 01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:46,479 Speaker 25: year a bit of a bulk up in the likes 1357 01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:50,240 Speaker 25: of the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia, those sort 1358 01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:52,360 Speaker 25: of areas, you know, do start to show that those 1359 01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:54,400 Speaker 25: trade deals that we've got going throughout the rest of 1360 01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:56,639 Speaker 25: the world are starting to work. There's a bit more 1361 01:13:56,640 --> 01:14:00,000 Speaker 25: profile for New Zealand exports to get out and about what's. 1362 01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:01,760 Speaker 2: Of money we're getting. Are we getting top dollar? 1363 01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:05,000 Speaker 25: Well, I would have thought so at the moment. I 1364 01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:06,880 Speaker 25: mean the fact that we were able to see cherry 1365 01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:10,519 Speaker 25: volumes go up thirty three percent to over five million 1366 01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:13,760 Speaker 25: kilograms and prices actually stayed at the high levels that 1367 01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:16,839 Speaker 25: they had been for the first time. Over the twelve 1368 01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:20,160 Speaker 25: months to February twenty twenty five, our cherry exports made 1369 01:14:20,240 --> 01:14:22,960 Speaker 25: US one hundred and twenty four million, first time it's 1370 01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:25,679 Speaker 25: made over one hundred mili. Now that doesn't sound like much, 1371 01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:28,599 Speaker 25: but these are some pretty high value products that we're 1372 01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:31,640 Speaker 25: able to send overseas. They're obviously quite seasonal, but it 1373 01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:34,200 Speaker 25: shows that when we can bulk up our exports by 1374 01:14:34,280 --> 01:14:37,160 Speaker 25: a third in a year and the price doesn't really change, 1375 01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:39,879 Speaker 25: in fact, it slightly goes up, there's some healthy demand 1376 01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:41,440 Speaker 25: for New Zealand fruit overseas. 1377 01:14:41,920 --> 01:14:45,400 Speaker 2: Does this I mean when you start to see prices 1378 01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:48,320 Speaker 2: high like this you see volumes starting to increase, you 1379 01:14:48,360 --> 01:14:50,720 Speaker 2: see new markets opening up. Does that mean we will 1380 01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:54,400 Speaker 2: see more production or are we at peak cherry production here? 1381 01:14:54,439 --> 01:14:55,520 Speaker 2: What is the situation? 1382 01:14:56,920 --> 01:14:59,559 Speaker 25: I don't necessarily think we're at peak production, but I mean, 1383 01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:01,599 Speaker 25: of course it's a pretty big jump. You wouldn't be 1384 01:15:01,640 --> 01:15:05,000 Speaker 25: expecting to see the same thing again next year. This year, 1385 01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:07,720 Speaker 25: of course, seem to be better growing conditions a bit, 1386 01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:10,639 Speaker 25: a bit later than usual, and of course there's always 1387 01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:14,080 Speaker 25: those worries around frosts and hail and similar so we 1388 01:15:14,120 --> 01:15:16,599 Speaker 25: can never sort of bank on it being great always 1389 01:15:16,640 --> 01:15:19,160 Speaker 25: production wise. But I think given the fact that we've 1390 01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:22,800 Speaker 25: got this continual focus on trying to grow exports, the 1391 01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:24,920 Speaker 25: fact that at the moment the numbers are sitting in 1392 01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:29,000 Speaker 25: a good position, there's clearly demand out there. Will continue 1393 01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:31,360 Speaker 25: to try and supply not only the likes of cherries 1394 01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:33,200 Speaker 25: and all of the other good stuff that we send 1395 01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:35,880 Speaker 25: out Kiwi fruits, apples and the like, but also be 1396 01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:38,439 Speaker 25: looking at where are there new opportunities to send different 1397 01:15:38,479 --> 01:15:41,040 Speaker 25: types of fruit. There's clearly demand, so we should be 1398 01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:42,240 Speaker 25: making sure that we're on the. 1399 01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:45,000 Speaker 2: Table absolutely, Brad, thank you for that.

I noticed that my peers who retired 1407 01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:11,519 Speaker 2: some years ago are losing their intellect and are lacking 1408 01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:14,639 Speaker 2: in sharp thinking and are slowly becoming far less interesting. 1409 01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:20,400 Speaker 2: I love my mind being challenged, being asked to speak 1410 01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:24,280 Speaker 2: at conferences, etcetera, etcetera.

That's the message to 1419 01:16:49,439 --> 01:16:55,400 Speaker 2: the primary exporters from the International Trade Expert former Special 1420 01:16:55,439 --> 01:16:57,440 Speaker 2: Trade Envoy Mike Peterson. 1421 01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:00,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, walks both farmers well. And Mike knows the 1422 01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:04,120 Speaker 4: thing or two about trade, as you said, former New 1423 01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:08,160 Speaker 4: Zealand Special Agricultural tradeing boy, former chair of Beef and 1424 01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:11,400 Speaker 4: Lamb New Zealand, current chair of Scales, one of our 1425 01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:14,760 Speaker 4: biggest horticulture companies, and he said, we're basically we're going 1426 01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:17,960 Speaker 4: to have to tread warily between our two biggest markets 1427 01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:21,920 Speaker 4: now the China or China and the US, and we 1428 01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:26,160 Speaker 4: need to try and keep a foot in both camps. Interestingly, 1429 01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:28,679 Speaker 4: in an interview I was reading from Mike, he said, 1430 01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:33,040 Speaker 4: on the domestic front, while many farmers feel they have 1431 01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:36,280 Speaker 4: a farmer friendly government and they certainly have ryan compared 1432 01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:39,200 Speaker 4: to what those poor buggers in the UK are facing 1433 01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:43,920 Speaker 4: under SECAA. Starmer, He's saying that the government has a 1434 01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:47,519 Speaker 4: big picture agenda as well. But when it comes to 1435 01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:54,560 Speaker 4: that big picture agenda, I meeting Paris Climate Climate accord agreements. 1436 01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:57,960 Speaker 4: Not everyone in the government, it seems, agrees with that 1437 01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:02,120 Speaker 4: big picture, especially the likes of Winston and even David 1438 01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:05,160 Speaker 4: Seymour's the jury's how to weave it on that one. 1439 01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:10,400 Speaker 4: So Mike Peterson saying farmers might like the government, but 1440 01:18:10,439 --> 01:18:14,160 Speaker 4: they might like, might not like some of their actions 1441 01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:17,880 Speaker 4: around climate change targets. But he's saying it's nothing that 1442 01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:21,599 Speaker 4: science and innovation can't take care of. Many people would 1443 01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:25,640 Speaker 4: argue maybe that's not the case. But anyhow, someone's and 1444 01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:28,040 Speaker 4: upwards for the primary sector. And as I said after 1445 01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:31,160 Speaker 4: speaking to my UK farm and correspondent today in the 1446 01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:35,920 Speaker 4: UK Rhyme where they had another massive farmer protest, we've 1447 01:18:35,960 --> 01:18:37,160 Speaker 4: got it good in New Zealand. 1448 01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:41,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, particularly with the government and regulation. As you mentioned, 1449 01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:45,519 Speaker 2: Jamie zespri is claiming a world first. What's this about. 1450 01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:49,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, this is quite a cool story. We came or 1451 01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:52,760 Speaker 4: came across today or was it yesterday, the only fruit 1452 01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:55,479 Speaker 4: company in the world that will shortly have all its 1453 01:18:55,560 --> 01:19:00,240 Speaker 4: products sewn with home else sold should I say, with 1454 01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:03,840 Speaker 4: home compostible labels? You know when you're eating your Kiwi 1455 01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:06,880 Speaker 4: fruit gold and I've got those annoying plastic little labels 1456 01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:09,040 Speaker 4: where they're going to be a thing of the past. 1457 01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:11,880 Speaker 4: They're going to be all compostible, which will be great, 1458 01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:13,800 Speaker 4: and it's going to be on all fruit grown in 1459 01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:17,960 Speaker 4: New Zealand or offshore. Remember that Zestbury's making a real 1460 01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:20,840 Speaker 4: play for all year round supply by having growers in 1461 01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:23,880 Speaker 4: the Northern hemisphere as well. A lot of these European 1462 01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:29,960 Speaker 4: nations are demanding fully compostible fruit stickers, and I think 1463 01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:32,640 Speaker 4: it's a really good thing. So there's a bit of 1464 01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:35,719 Speaker 4: a challenge with these. There's three parts to them, the top, 1465 01:19:35,840 --> 01:19:38,639 Speaker 4: the face, top, and the actual label itself. They've all 1466 01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:41,200 Speaker 4: got to be compostible. They've got about a stick to 1467 01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:45,200 Speaker 4: a hairy surface, especially when it comes to green kyw fruit. 1468 01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:48,720 Speaker 4: The labels need to cope and cool stores and out 1469 01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:50,599 Speaker 4: on the market floor where it might be a wee 1470 01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:54,040 Speaker 4: bit warmer, and more importantly, obviously they need to break 1471 01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:57,400 Speaker 4: down in the compost heap. So there we go. Well done, Zesprey. 1472 01:19:57,600 --> 01:20:00,719 Speaker 4: They're world leaders and a lot of and I guess 1473 01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:04,000 Speaker 4: they can add compostible stickers to that list. 1474 01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:07,559 Speaker 2: This sounds good, Jamie, good on them. Thank you for that, 1475 01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:10,240 Speaker 2: Jamie mckaye, Host of the Country. Here on News Talks. 1476 01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:13,680 Speaker 2: There beats twenty five minutes after six and bred. Now 1477 01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:17,040 Speaker 2: Rachel Reeves. Who's she who holds the purse strings over 1478 01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:21,519 Speaker 2: in the UK, the Chancellor of the Exchequer. She's going 1479 01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:24,000 Speaker 2: to deliver her spring statement to the House of commons. 1480 01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:26,439 Speaker 2: It shouldn't be Thursday our time, and usually you would 1481 01:20:26,439 --> 01:20:29,320 Speaker 2: think boring her cares. But she's going to take the 1482 01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:32,240 Speaker 2: knife to the public service because she has to, because 1483 01:20:32,240 --> 01:20:35,519 Speaker 2: she's got to balance the books. Rumors are she might 1484 01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:39,479 Speaker 2: even acts, and this is a labor politician, remember of 1485 01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:42,960 Speaker 2: a labor government. She might even acts their free school 1486 01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:46,280 Speaker 2: lunch program, the universality of that. So at the moment, 1487 01:20:47,040 --> 01:20:50,160 Speaker 2: it's the school lunch is are means tested for anyone 1488 01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:55,120 Speaker 2: who's at secondary school, but for basically the equivalent of 1489 01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:59,120 Speaker 2: the first three years of primary school. Everyone gets free 1490 01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:04,559 Speaker 2: universe all lunch on the taxpayer. And there's been some 1491 01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:08,040 Speaker 2: reporting that that might change, and Rachel Reeves is sort 1492 01:21:08,040 --> 01:21:10,040 Speaker 2: of putting out fires left, right and center. So we'll 1493 01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:11,799 Speaker 2: have to wait and see what she says in his speech. 1494 01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:16,439 Speaker 2: But it's just interesting looking at the British system. So 1495 01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:21,280 Speaker 2: in the UK free but only if you receive, if 1496 01:21:21,320 --> 01:21:25,720 Speaker 2: your family receives certain benefits, so as opposed to a 1497 01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:28,680 Speaker 2: New Zealand where we say if one student at the 1498 01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:32,840 Speaker 2: school gets it, the whole school gets it because otherwise, 1499 01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:36,439 Speaker 2: you know, you stigmatize that student. That was the argument 1500 01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:38,519 Speaker 2: that was made. Whereas in the UK. That's not how 1501 01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:42,280 Speaker 2: it works in the UK. You only qualify if your 1502 01:21:42,320 --> 01:21:46,080 Speaker 2: family gets certain benefits from the government and it's targeted 1503 01:21:46,080 --> 01:21:50,040 Speaker 2: at those kids, regardless of who around them is eating it. 1504 01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:53,840 Speaker 2: Twenty seven after six News Talks ZB will be in 1505 01:21:53,880 --> 01:22:04,560 Speaker 2: the UK before seven. 1506 01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:21,320 Speaker 1: If it's to do with money, it matters to you. 1507 01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:26,520 Speaker 1: The Business Hour with Ryan Bridge and there's insurance and investments, 1508 01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:29,680 Speaker 1: grow your wealth, protect your future. News talks it. 1509 01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:37,280 Speaker 2: Be because I'm me, You. 1510 01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:40,479 Speaker 8: Told me to get a job at you as love 1511 01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:44,560 Speaker 8: and I'm supers I often. 1512 01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:47,080 Speaker 6: I want to save me. 1513 01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:51,400 Speaker 2: Think it is twenty five away from seven your own 1514 01:22:51,439 --> 01:22:54,519 Speaker 2: news talks. It B would get to Rachel Reeves and 1515 01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:57,360 Speaker 2: her speech to the House of Commons, which is coming 1516 01:22:57,400 --> 01:22:59,840 Speaker 2: this week. What exactly will it entail? What will it 1517 01:22:59,840 --> 01:23:03,720 Speaker 2: make for the British government, their labor government and their 1518 01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:05,920 Speaker 2: cuts to the public service. We'll look at that just 1519 01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:09,240 Speaker 2: before seven. We're over in the UK right now, though, 1520 01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:12,200 Speaker 2: a new report into women working in the tech sector 1521 01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:15,559 Speaker 2: has set off a few alarm bells. The advocacy group 1522 01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:21,200 Speaker 2: Tech Beyond Gender surveyed two hundred female workers tech workers. 1523 01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:24,719 Speaker 2: It found more than half have considered leaving their current 1524 01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:27,680 Speaker 2: positions and over a third of thought about quitting the 1525 01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:32,559 Speaker 2: sector altogether. Mina Setsh Kumar from Tech Beyond Gender is 1526 01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:36,559 Speaker 2: with me to explain this finding. Mina, good evening to you. 1527 01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:37,439 Speaker 2: Thanks for being with. 1528 01:23:37,360 --> 01:23:40,320 Speaker 26: Me, Good evening, Thanks for the time. 1529 01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:45,519 Speaker 2: So you've done these interviews, there's some quite some quite 1530 01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:49,599 Speaker 2: radical claims being made here. Tell me how you've come 1531 01:23:49,640 --> 01:23:53,240 Speaker 2: to the conclusion. You know, half of the people you've 1532 01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:57,479 Speaker 2: interviewed have considered quitting. Do you know? Whine? 1533 01:23:57,800 --> 01:23:58,040 Speaker 1: Yeah? 1534 01:23:58,200 --> 01:24:03,439 Speaker 26: Cool? So let me just correction here. This report we 1535 01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:07,759 Speaker 26: surveyed women and gender divers professionals working in New Zealand 1536 01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:12,599 Speaker 26: tech sector. I think it is gener frustration and a 1537 01:24:12,640 --> 01:24:16,559 Speaker 26: feeling of hopelessness for these people working in tech sector 1538 01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:22,280 Speaker 26: where more than forty persons have experienced gender based microaggressions 1539 01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:26,800 Speaker 26: in their workplaces, and more than seventy seventy percentage have 1540 01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:32,720 Speaker 26: reported no training or to create awareness regarding microaggressions have 1541 01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:37,479 Speaker 26: been provided in their workplaces. And besides that, more than 1542 01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:41,600 Speaker 26: seventy percentage of them are dissatisfied with paid transparency and 1543 01:24:41,640 --> 01:24:43,880 Speaker 26: more than half of them feel that they're not being 1544 01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:50,120 Speaker 26: paid fair, with disparities particularly affecting technical and migrant professionals. 1545 01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:54,960 Speaker 2: What do you consider a microaggression? Forty percent say that 1546 01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:59,360 Speaker 2: they've had gender based microaggressions committed against them. What is that? 1547 01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:00,519 Speaker 20: So? 1548 01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:07,520 Speaker 26: Microaggressions are subtle, often unintentional comments or behaviors or actions 1549 01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:13,120 Speaker 26: that communicate bias or stereotype towards a person or a group. 1550 01:25:14,040 --> 01:25:20,440 Speaker 26: So this is particularly targeted towards marginalized or minority background. 1551 01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:25,920 Speaker 2: So I'm sorry, sorry just one. You said that it's 1552 01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:30,759 Speaker 2: unintentional aggressions and yet it's targeted. How can it be both? 1553 01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:36,639 Speaker 26: Well, because this is because of the stereotypes that are 1554 01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:41,719 Speaker 26: so ingrained in our society. There are certain systemic issues 1555 01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:46,200 Speaker 26: that we have really not addressed. So it's easy to 1556 01:25:46,479 --> 01:25:50,040 Speaker 26: just assume in a meeting that a woman would probably 1557 01:25:50,080 --> 01:25:53,240 Speaker 26: be there to take notes or be a people manager, 1558 01:25:53,720 --> 01:25:57,160 Speaker 26: and not see a woman as a front end developer 1559 01:25:57,479 --> 01:26:02,040 Speaker 26: or a solution architect or a technical lead. So that's 1560 01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:05,840 Speaker 26: what I meant, because it is very unintentional because we 1561 01:26:05,880 --> 01:26:08,520 Speaker 26: are so ingrained in those stereotypes. 1562 01:26:09,400 --> 01:26:12,240 Speaker 2: Right, But what can you give us an example of 1563 01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:13,840 Speaker 2: what a microaggression is? 1564 01:26:14,960 --> 01:26:21,640 Speaker 26: So being interrupted in meetings or having ideas appropriated, or 1565 01:26:21,640 --> 01:26:27,800 Speaker 26: facing some dismissive comments, or like just having some remarks 1566 01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:32,640 Speaker 26: such as, oh, you're surprisingly technical, or even saying, uh, 1567 01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:38,880 Speaker 26: well you're too aggressive if being assertive as a woman's right, Yeah. 1568 01:26:38,640 --> 01:26:42,880 Speaker 2: But these things will happen to men too, I mean, 1569 01:26:43,520 --> 01:26:46,679 Speaker 2: you know if so if if somebody, if a manager 1570 01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:49,000 Speaker 2: interrupts a man, is that a microaggression? 1571 01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:49,280 Speaker 10: No? 1572 01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:54,720 Speaker 26: Possibly, I'm not saying that men do not have any 1573 01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:57,719 Speaker 26: issues as such. Probably they do face issues. 1574 01:26:57,760 --> 01:27:00,200 Speaker 2: But then isn't it Isn't that the point though, that 1575 01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:03,760 Speaker 2: that if you know are there are good managers and 1576 01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:06,920 Speaker 2: there are bad managers. It doesn't necessarily mean just because 1577 01:27:06,920 --> 01:27:09,479 Speaker 2: somebody interrupts you that they are sexist or that they're 1578 01:27:09,479 --> 01:27:11,360 Speaker 2: doing it because you're you're a woman. 1579 01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:19,760 Speaker 26: But certain systemic barriers make all of these behaviors very 1580 01:27:19,960 --> 01:27:24,600 Speaker 26: pronounced for women and gender divers professionals. So because of 1581 01:27:24,640 --> 01:27:28,080 Speaker 26: the stereotypes that are so ingrained in US, we just 1582 01:27:28,479 --> 01:27:33,240 Speaker 26: assume certain things and just talk about it without really 1583 01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:36,760 Speaker 26: thinking about it. So, for instance, if I'm in a 1584 01:27:36,880 --> 01:27:41,000 Speaker 26: meeting and if I'm actually providing a technical input this 1585 01:27:41,280 --> 01:27:44,240 Speaker 26: way along with few other men in my team, that 1586 01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:48,439 Speaker 26: message that I would convey will hold value if it 1587 01:27:48,520 --> 01:27:51,360 Speaker 26: comes if it is backed by another man. 1588 01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:55,519 Speaker 2: Okay MANA, thank you very much for explaining this to us. 1589 01:27:55,520 --> 01:27:59,439 Speaker 2: I really appreciate it. MENA statisticoma from the Tech Beyond Gender, 1590 01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:06,599 Speaker 2: which is an advocacy group for women in tech. I mean, 1591 01:28:06,600 --> 01:28:09,680 Speaker 2: what do you say. I just think the whole, the 1592 01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:12,880 Speaker 2: whole I've read, I've read the release from this group. 1593 01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:16,840 Speaker 2: I just think it sounds like absolute. But yes, half 1594 01:28:16,880 --> 01:28:21,840 Speaker 2: have considered quitting. Go and ask any worker anywhere, and 1595 01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:24,280 Speaker 2: half of them will tell you they have considered quitting 1596 01:28:24,280 --> 01:28:26,320 Speaker 2: their job. It doesn't matter what gender they are, who 1597 01:28:26,320 --> 01:28:29,920 Speaker 2: their bosses. Half don't believe they're being paid very well. 1598 01:28:30,080 --> 01:28:32,760 Speaker 2: Go and ask any worker, doesn't matter what gender they are, 1599 01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:34,920 Speaker 2: and they'll tell you that they're not being paid very well. 1600 01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:38,639 Speaker 2: Go and ask how many have had microaggressions and then 1601 01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:43,280 Speaker 2: define it as loosely as that, and half will have 1602 01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:48,240 Speaker 2: said that they've had microaggressions. Nineteen to seven. 1603 01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:52,080 Speaker 1: Croaching the numbers and getting the results. It's Ryan Bridge 1604 01:28:52,200 --> 01:28:56,439 Speaker 1: with the business hour and mass insurance and investments.

Thomas Woldby is the Chief Executive Heathrow Airport. 1618 01:29:36,840 --> 01:29:38,720 Speaker 20: He's quick to point out that it is not the 1619 01:29:38,760 --> 01:29:42,560 Speaker 20: airport's fault that there was a fire at an electricity 1620 01:29:42,600 --> 01:29:46,479 Speaker 20: substation on Thursday night, but a lot has emerged since. 1621 01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:50,000 Speaker 20: So he took the decision that his deputy would work 1622 01:29:50,200 --> 01:29:53,720 Speaker 20: through the night and that he, the CEO, would go 1623 01:29:53,800 --> 01:29:57,080 Speaker 20: home sleep and then wake up refreshed for the task 1624 01:29:57,160 --> 01:30:00,720 Speaker 20: on Friday of making the decisions that would all get 1625 01:30:00,720 --> 01:30:03,880 Speaker 20: the airport open again to the traveling public on Saturday. 1626 01:30:04,160 --> 01:30:06,200 Speaker 20: A lot of people are saying, why didn't you just 1627 01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:09,280 Speaker 20: work on How could you sleep? The Transport Minister here, 1628 01:30:09,360 --> 01:30:12,479 Speaker 20: Hidi Alexander. She's even come out on radio and said, 1629 01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:15,120 Speaker 20: I wouldn't be able to sleep if that had happened 1630 01:30:15,120 --> 01:30:18,120 Speaker 20: in my job and I was dealing with the closure 1631 01:30:18,160 --> 01:30:20,920 Speaker 20: of the biggest airport in Europe and the busiest I 1632 01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:23,160 Speaker 20: would not be able to sleep. So I think he 1633 01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:26,719 Speaker 20: can expect a few verbal bullets next week. He's under pressure, 1634 01:30:27,040 --> 01:30:31,360 Speaker 20: but it has just shown up the chronic problems we 1635 01:30:31,479 --> 01:30:34,960 Speaker 20: have deep in our infrastructure in the UK. That a 1636 01:30:35,120 --> 01:30:38,320 Speaker 20: fire at a substation a few miles away knocks out 1637 01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:41,360 Speaker 20: an airport with three hundred thousand passengers going through it. 1638 01:30:41,960 --> 01:30:44,840 Speaker 2: Goodness may well, we'll look forward to that little inquiry. 1639 01:30:45,360 --> 01:30:48,599 Speaker 2: Kese Thamas is he wants to fix every pothole in Britain. 1640 01:30:50,280 --> 01:30:52,920 Speaker 20: Yes, and I think it was John Lennon who sang 1641 01:30:52,960 --> 01:30:57,080 Speaker 20: that there were four thousand potholes in Blackburn, Lancashire. That 1642 01:30:57,160 --> 01:30:59,679 Speaker 20: was in the sixties. Well, I think he'd be under 1643 01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:02,559 Speaker 20: a state making the task at hand now, because in 1644 01:31:02,600 --> 01:31:05,599 Speaker 20: all honesty, I run a lot, as you know, Ryan, 1645 01:31:06,120 --> 01:31:09,320 Speaker 20: I now run cross country mostly because the danger of 1646 01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:13,320 Speaker 20: twisting an ankle or worse, because of the pothole situation here. 1647 01:31:13,360 --> 01:31:16,800 Speaker 20: It is so bad now. Kre Starmer has given a 1648 01:31:16,880 --> 01:31:20,120 Speaker 20: radio interview. He actually said, at this moment in time, 1649 01:31:20,120 --> 01:31:23,599 Speaker 20: as I'm speaking, someone will be driving over a pothole. 1650 01:31:24,160 --> 01:31:28,000 Speaker 20: He used the figure seven hundred million, not dollars in 1651 01:31:28,080 --> 01:31:31,920 Speaker 20: terms of fixing the problems. Seven hundred million potholes is 1652 01:31:31,960 --> 01:31:34,400 Speaker 20: what the Prime Minister believes there are to be fixed 1653 01:31:34,439 --> 01:31:37,000 Speaker 20: in the UK. So he was challenged on how he's 1654 01:31:37,040 --> 01:31:39,599 Speaker 20: going to do this, and he used the phrase AI 1655 01:31:39,840 --> 01:31:43,960 Speaker 20: and tech eight times and the presenter said, well, just 1656 01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:46,040 Speaker 20: explain how that works, and he goes, look very simple. 1657 01:31:46,080 --> 01:31:48,280 Speaker 20: He said, each time the Council fills in a pothole, 1658 01:31:48,640 --> 01:31:51,599 Speaker 20: they'll go online, they'll update it, they'll get some more 1659 01:31:51,600 --> 01:31:54,479 Speaker 20: money and it can go fill another one. So that's 1660 01:31:54,520 --> 01:31:57,600 Speaker 20: where we are right now, seven hundred million potholes in 1661 01:31:57,600 --> 01:31:59,240 Speaker 20: the UK, according to Kure Starmer. 1662 01:31:59,280 --> 01:32:01,800 Speaker 2: Goodness man, I don't how much AI's got to do 1663 01:32:01,840 --> 01:32:05,320 Speaker 2: with fixing it, but that's interesting, right putting it. 1664 01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:08,639 Speaker 20: Men with shovels and gravel, Ryan, that's what exactly not AI. 1665 01:32:08,880 --> 01:32:13,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, very quickly, Rachel rees. She is going to 1666 01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:16,120 Speaker 2: address Parliament this week, the House of Commons. Do we 1667 01:32:16,200 --> 01:32:19,519 Speaker 2: know whether they're going to cut the universal school lunches? 1668 01:32:19,560 --> 01:32:21,320 Speaker 2: Have you heard anything about that or is that all 1669 01:32:21,400 --> 01:32:22,880 Speaker 2: just scuttle back rumor. 1670 01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:26,479 Speaker 20: I think everything's being cut. I think Britain is heading 1671 01:32:26,520 --> 01:32:29,200 Speaker 20: back to austerity. There is no money. Not only is 1672 01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:32,720 Speaker 20: she getting rid of the school lunches for really kind 1673 01:32:32,760 --> 01:32:37,479 Speaker 20: of disadvantaged, vulnerable kids. Fifty thousand civil servants are going 1674 01:32:37,520 --> 01:32:39,880 Speaker 20: to lose their jobs. I think Britain is heading back 1675 01:32:39,880 --> 01:32:43,120 Speaker 20: into a decade of austerity. There is no money left here, 1676 01:32:43,240 --> 01:32:47,280 Speaker 20: there is no growth and we are where we are finally. 1677 01:32:47,280 --> 01:32:50,120 Speaker 2: Connor McGregor wants to run for president of Ireland. 1678 01:32:51,960 --> 01:32:55,080 Speaker 20: Yeah, watch this one, it's going to be interesting. He's 1679 01:32:55,120 --> 01:32:57,880 Speaker 20: making a lot of noise online for anyone who doesn't 1680 01:32:57,880 --> 01:33:01,599 Speaker 20: know who Connor McGregor is. He is an extremely wealthy 1681 01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:05,439 Speaker 20: and successful cage fighter from that UFC brand in America. 1682 01:33:05,600 --> 01:33:09,400 Speaker 20: He is Irish. He's Dublin through and through. He has 1683 01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:12,759 Speaker 20: a really bad reputation amongst a lot of people in Ireland. 1684 01:33:12,800 --> 01:33:15,719 Speaker 20: There was a civil case brought against him in court 1685 01:33:15,800 --> 01:33:18,960 Speaker 20: last year for sexual assault by a woman, which he lost. 1686 01:33:19,720 --> 01:33:22,439 Speaker 20: There was a previous conviction for punching an elderly man 1687 01:33:22,479 --> 01:33:26,760 Speaker 20: in a pub. Yeah, he's been speaking out about immigration 1688 01:33:27,080 --> 01:33:31,080 Speaker 20: and a lot of illegal immigrants coming into Ireland. He 1689 01:33:31,160 --> 01:33:33,920 Speaker 20: is getting some support on the far right of the 1690 01:33:33,920 --> 01:33:36,800 Speaker 20: political spectrum in Ireland. But the problem he has in 1691 01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:41,320 Speaker 20: terms of becoming president you need twenty elected representatives to 1692 01:33:41,320 --> 01:33:45,120 Speaker 20: come out and say they back you. He's not going 1693 01:33:45,160 --> 01:33:46,960 Speaker 20: to get twenty. In fact, I would go so far 1694 01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:50,040 Speaker 20: as to say if I ran against him, I from 1695 01:33:50,040 --> 01:33:52,880 Speaker 20: County Wexford as a journalist, I would get twenty people 1696 01:33:52,880 --> 01:33:54,920 Speaker 20: to back me and he would get zero. And I'm 1697 01:33:54,920 --> 01:33:57,400 Speaker 20: not being big headed here, I'm just stating facts. 1698 01:33:57,800 --> 01:34:01,000 Speaker 2: Right, Thig So much for that.

He's back from his big adventure. 1718 01:35:05,280 --> 01:35:08,719 Speaker 2: But we were talking earlier about women in the tech 1719 01:35:08,800 --> 01:35:12,240 Speaker 2: sector and this report that came out today saying that 1720 01:35:12,439 --> 01:35:14,559 Speaker 2: you know, women are so unhappy in the tech sector 1721 01:35:14,640 --> 01:35:16,960 Speaker 2: and there's a survey that shows that half are thinking 1722 01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:19,400 Speaker 2: about leaving their jobs, and they were linking this to 1723 01:35:19,680 --> 01:35:21,840 Speaker 2: the treatment of women in the tech sector. All that 1724 01:35:21,880 --> 01:35:25,640 Speaker 2: sort of stuff and microaggressions came up. Well, we've had 1725 01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:28,920 Speaker 2: quite a bit of feedback about this. Ryan, you're a dinosaur. 1726 01:35:29,080 --> 01:35:31,760 Speaker 2: Your mind was made up before the micro aggression. Woman 1727 01:35:31,840 --> 01:35:34,680 Speaker 2: began speaking. If you think women are treated equally in 1728 01:35:34,720 --> 01:35:41,240 Speaker 2: New Zealand's workplace, you are willfully ignorant. They're different things, 1729 01:35:41,240 --> 01:35:43,640 Speaker 2: aren't they Do I think women are treated equally in 1730 01:35:43,680 --> 01:35:47,400 Speaker 2: the workplace. Well, look, I don't know. I don't know 1731 01:35:47,400 --> 01:35:50,960 Speaker 2: because I'm not a woman. But if I look at 1732 01:35:50,960 --> 01:35:53,920 Speaker 2: all the workplaces I've worked in, and I've been serious here, 1733 01:35:55,400 --> 01:35:59,360 Speaker 2: probably eighty percent of my bosses have been women. Most 1734 01:35:59,400 --> 01:36:02,880 Speaker 2: of my college have been women. Women are over represented 1735 01:36:02,920 --> 01:36:06,920 Speaker 2: in my industry more more often than not, the person 1736 01:36:06,960 --> 01:36:10,000 Speaker 2: sitting next to me is a woman, and I've never 1737 01:36:10,080 --> 01:36:14,760 Speaker 2: seen them treated differently or worse than anyone else. We're 1738 01:36:14,800 --> 01:36:20,040 Speaker 2: all treated equally. Shite, you know, so so personally, have 1739 01:36:20,160 --> 01:36:20,640 Speaker 2: I seen it? 1740 01:36:20,720 --> 01:36:20,800 Speaker 16: No? 1741 01:36:20,880 --> 01:36:22,120 Speaker 2: Does that mean it doesn't exist? 1742 01:36:22,200 --> 01:36:22,280 Speaker 4: No? 1743 01:36:22,439 --> 01:36:25,760 Speaker 2: Do I think the microaggression thing is a bit of BS. Yes, 1744 01:36:26,400 --> 01:36:28,720 Speaker 2: I think it's BS. I think I think if you 1745 01:36:28,800 --> 01:36:33,400 Speaker 2: want to feel something, if you want to, you know, 1746 01:36:33,720 --> 01:36:37,519 Speaker 2: have a problem, you will have a problem. And yeah, 1747 01:36:37,560 --> 01:36:39,720 Speaker 2: I don't know.
