Speaker 2: trolley that the wheel in. Is there any work out

43
00:02:12,853 --> 00:02:15,293
Speaker 2: there that has a drinks trolley still? Because the drinks

44
00:02:15,333 --> 00:02:17,853
Speaker 2: trolley is the greatest thing in the world. Takes. It's

45
00:02:17,893 --> 00:02:19,493
Speaker 2: a great way to meet everyone in your workplace if

46
00:02:19,493 --> 00:02:20,972
Speaker 2: you live in a big company.

47
00:02:21,333 --> 00:02:24,613
Speaker 3: And they spread the job around, didn't they, So you

48
00:02:24,693 --> 00:02:27,133
Speaker 3: had your opportunity to be the person's take around.

49
00:02:27,133 --> 00:02:29,213
Speaker 2: The drink trolley was great. Yeah, And when you're operating

50
00:02:29,252 --> 00:02:31,053
Speaker 2: the drink strolly, you can drink and drive with the

51
00:02:31,093 --> 00:02:34,773
Speaker 2: drinks trolley. Yeah. So you're refreshing yourself right around the company,

52
00:02:34,813 --> 00:02:37,292
Speaker 2: meeting people, people having drinks at their desk. Oh, there's

53
00:02:37,293 --> 00:02:39,293
Speaker 2: a bit of time. Yeah, there's a enough job. Now

54
00:02:39,293 --> 00:02:41,532
Speaker 2: everyone's freaked out about that kind of stuff exactly.

55
00:02:41,853 --> 00:02:45,412
Speaker 3: Right on to today's show. After three o'clock, deep seat.

56
00:02:45,453 --> 00:02:49,653
Speaker 3: You would have heard about this Chinese ai very controversial, controversial,

57
00:02:49,653 --> 00:02:53,493
Speaker 3: but now someone has used it to roast little old

58
00:02:53,573 --> 00:02:58,453
Speaker 3: New Zealand, and some of the roasts are pretty good actually.

59
00:02:58,933 --> 00:03:01,053
Speaker 2: And New Zealand's idea of night life is a kebab

60
00:03:01,133 --> 00:03:03,213
Speaker 2: shop that closes at nine point thirty pm and a

61
00:03:03,293 --> 00:03:07,053
Speaker 2: drunk nineteen year old fighting a road sign and very good.

62
00:03:07,693 --> 00:03:11,173
Speaker 3: Every major city in New Zealand is just a glorified town,

63
00:03:11,252 --> 00:03:14,013
Speaker 3: except Auckland, which is a glorified traffic jam.

64
00:03:13,933 --> 00:03:18,692
Speaker 2: That stings, that hurts. This AI has got our number,

65
00:03:18,893 --> 00:03:20,733
Speaker 2: hasn't it. It's New Zealand. It's proof that if you

66
00:03:20,773 --> 00:03:23,773
Speaker 2: put enough sheep and overpriced housing in one place, people

67
00:03:23,773 --> 00:03:29,612
Speaker 2: will actually convince themselves. That's a utopia deep seek. That

68
00:03:29,333 --> 00:03:34,013
Speaker 2: is pretty hurtful each that's from our AI over lords.

69
00:03:34,053 --> 00:03:36,613
Speaker 3: But we want to turn it around and we want

70
00:03:36,653 --> 00:03:39,893
Speaker 3: to actually boost up New Zealand. You know some platitudes.

71
00:03:40,653 --> 00:03:43,533
Speaker 3: What do we do so well here in New Zealand

72
00:03:43,613 --> 00:03:44,453
Speaker 3: that you know what's.

73
00:03:44,293 --> 00:03:48,973
Speaker 2: The opposite of a roast? Yeah, the celebration. Yeah, celebration,

74
00:03:49,013 --> 00:03:51,613
Speaker 2: don't they Yeah, people get to get yeah, celebration.

75
00:03:51,893 --> 00:03:54,533
Speaker 3: And we've already had a few suggestions for on nine two,

76
00:03:54,573 --> 00:03:55,973
Speaker 3: nine to two, but that's going to be the question

77
00:03:56,133 --> 00:03:56,893
Speaker 3: after three o'clock.

78
00:03:56,933 --> 00:04:00,333
Speaker 2: And also an awards ceremony, an awards ceremony. Well, coincidentally,

79
00:04:00,333 --> 00:04:02,773
Speaker 2: I won an award last night. It did the first

80
00:04:02,813 --> 00:04:05,133
Speaker 2: annual Changese I saw you fell asleep with it. Yeah,

81
00:04:05,133 --> 00:04:06,853
Speaker 2: I sleep with that last night. I'm so proud of

82
00:04:06,853 --> 00:04:08,933
Speaker 2: winning a thought its like an Oscar who is fantastic.

83
00:04:09,133 --> 00:04:11,293
Speaker 2: But yeah, we'll have an awards ceremony for New Zealand

84
00:04:11,893 --> 00:04:14,333
Speaker 2: where you can, you can say what what's great about

85
00:04:14,333 --> 00:04:16,333
Speaker 2: New Zealand Because we're running it down a lot at

86
00:04:16,333 --> 00:04:17,533
Speaker 2: the moment, aren't we. We certainly are.

87
00:04:17,573 --> 00:04:19,853
Speaker 3: We need some positive positivity and love.

88
00:04:19,893 --> 00:04:21,293
Speaker 2: We've got to do time. I got to do better

89
00:04:21,333 --> 00:04:22,053
Speaker 2: than it's beautiful.

90
00:04:22,253 --> 00:04:25,213
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right after two o'clock. Are we going too

91
00:04:25,293 --> 00:04:29,413
Speaker 3: far and cracking down on booze at events? Festival organizers

92
00:04:29,773 --> 00:04:34,053
Speaker 3: certainly think so. They have felt quite put upon by

93
00:04:34,173 --> 00:04:37,373
Speaker 3: police in recent years who are effectively saying to them

94
00:04:37,413 --> 00:04:39,093
Speaker 3: we don't want you to serve booths at festivals.

95
00:04:39,133 --> 00:04:40,933
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're doing everything they can to make it hard,

96
00:04:40,933 --> 00:04:43,133
Speaker 2: and festivals need to sell booths to make money. And

97
00:04:43,173 --> 00:04:45,373
Speaker 2: people that go to festivals want to have a few drinks.

98
00:04:45,373 --> 00:04:47,013
Speaker 2: That's how you get up and dance to the bands.

99
00:04:47,053 --> 00:04:50,973
Speaker 2: You need a bit of social lubrication. And as I

100
00:04:51,013 --> 00:04:52,813
Speaker 2: was saying to you before, Tyler, I was at a

101
00:04:52,853 --> 00:04:55,093
Speaker 2: festival recently and they made me take my sunglasses off

102
00:04:55,093 --> 00:04:57,133
Speaker 2: to buy a drink. It's like, don't tell me to

103
00:04:57,173 --> 00:04:59,173
Speaker 2: take my sunglasses off to buy a drink. Mate. That

104
00:04:59,293 --> 00:05:03,613
Speaker 2: is patronizing that you're treating New Zealanders like babies. So

105
00:05:03,733 --> 00:05:05,893
Speaker 2: if someone gets drunk and starts acting like an idiot.

106
00:05:05,933 --> 00:05:08,213
Speaker 2: Throw them out. But until that point, leave them arone

107
00:05:08,333 --> 00:05:10,013
Speaker 2: and let them buy what they want to buy and

108
00:05:10,053 --> 00:05:11,693
Speaker 2: get on with your life. And let's let people that

109
00:05:11,773 --> 00:05:14,813
Speaker 2: run festivals and do good things in our communities have

110
00:05:14,853 --> 00:05:17,933
Speaker 2: an opportunity to run them how they see fit and

111
00:05:17,973 --> 00:05:20,533
Speaker 2: make some money. Yeah, because otherwise nothing happens if we

112
00:05:20,613 --> 00:05:23,453
Speaker 2: just lack a stupid role upon stupid role upon stupid rule.

113
00:05:23,533 --> 00:05:23,773
Speaker 5: Yeah.

114
00:05:23,853 --> 00:05:26,413
Speaker 3: Nicely said that as I started, Well, that is after

115
00:05:26,453 --> 00:05:29,013
Speaker 3: two o'clock. Back right now, let's talk about four year

116
00:05:29,253 --> 00:05:32,573
Speaker 3: terms for our government. It is back on the agenda.

117
00:05:32,893 --> 00:05:35,453
Speaker 3: David Seymour he had a speech to the Auckland Chamber

118
00:05:35,493 --> 00:05:38,933
Speaker 3: of Commerce in which he mentioned the four year political

119
00:05:39,053 --> 00:05:42,653
Speaker 3: term a bill that will be introduced to Parliament very shortly.

120
00:05:42,933 --> 00:05:44,693
Speaker 2: Here's a little bit of what he said to journalists

121
00:05:44,733 --> 00:05:45,093
Speaker 2: after that.

122
00:05:45,373 --> 00:05:48,773
Speaker 6: Well, the government's bills on a coalition commitment to introduce

123
00:05:48,813 --> 00:05:51,693
Speaker 6: a bill within eighteen months of forming. So that's going

124
00:05:51,733 --> 00:05:53,373
Speaker 6: to happen in the next few months. There will be

125
00:05:53,413 --> 00:05:56,573
Speaker 6: a bill introduced and then whether or not it goes

126
00:05:56,613 --> 00:05:58,653
Speaker 6: all the way through to referendum will be subjects to

127
00:05:58,693 --> 00:05:59,213
Speaker 6: more debate.

128
00:06:00,533 --> 00:06:03,613
Speaker 3: So I mean that is pretty definitive that their bill,

129
00:06:03,893 --> 00:06:06,293
Speaker 3: according to David Seymour, who will be the Deputy Prime

130
00:06:06,293 --> 00:06:09,053
Speaker 3: Minister very soon, will go through part elament. Then we

131
00:06:09,093 --> 00:06:12,733
Speaker 3: need to have that further debate about a referendum, binding

132
00:06:12,813 --> 00:06:15,693
Speaker 3: referendum and whether we go to a four year term.

133
00:06:15,813 --> 00:06:18,213
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, so we've had referendums in the past. In

134
00:06:18,293 --> 00:06:21,533
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty seven, sixty eight percent of people rejected a

135
00:06:21,573 --> 00:06:25,053
Speaker 2: four year term, and in nineteen ninety sixty nine percent

136
00:06:25,093 --> 00:06:27,613
Speaker 2: of people rejected. But there is a feeling now that

137
00:06:27,693 --> 00:06:30,413
Speaker 2: people can see that we need a four year term

138
00:06:30,733 --> 00:06:34,373
Speaker 2: because as everyone says, yeah, one year getting used to

139
00:06:34,413 --> 00:06:37,133
Speaker 2: your position, one year doing what you wanted to do,

140
00:06:37,213 --> 00:06:40,813
Speaker 2: and then one year campaigning. And so as a result

141
00:06:40,853 --> 00:06:44,653
Speaker 2: we have everything short sighted, nothing gets done and where

142
00:06:44,693 --> 00:06:47,173
Speaker 2: people just you know, politicians just rise at writing whatever

143
00:06:47,213 --> 00:06:49,173
Speaker 2: the news cycle is, to stay popular, to get re

144
00:06:49,213 --> 00:06:53,053
Speaker 2: elected four years, what about five years? Five years has

145
00:06:53,053 --> 00:06:54,213
Speaker 2: got as your five years?

146
00:06:54,453 --> 00:06:56,733
Speaker 3: Is there many other countries that would extend it to

147
00:06:56,773 --> 00:06:58,613
Speaker 3: five years. I mean that's a fair point if we

148
00:06:58,733 --> 00:07:01,693
Speaker 3: I think many people would agree three years is too

149
00:07:01,813 --> 00:07:03,733
Speaker 3: short in New Zealand and it is probably time that

150
00:07:03,773 --> 00:07:05,813
Speaker 3: we relook at it. If you disagree with that, I'd

151
00:07:05,853 --> 00:07:07,173
Speaker 3: love to hear from you on Oh, eight hundred and

152
00:07:07,173 --> 00:07:10,613
Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty five years is quite a substantial amount

153
00:07:10,613 --> 00:07:12,493
Speaker 3: of time. I don't think i'd be comfortable with five

154
00:07:13,093 --> 00:07:16,533
Speaker 3: because if there is a government in place that is

155
00:07:17,293 --> 00:07:20,093
Speaker 3: stuffing things up, and the tide has turned against that

156
00:07:20,173 --> 00:07:22,613
Speaker 3: government in the first three or four years, then you're

157
00:07:22,653 --> 00:07:24,253
Speaker 3: stuck with them for another twelve months.

158
00:07:24,533 --> 00:07:27,733
Speaker 2: So the UK is five years, I believe, I'll just

159
00:07:27,853 --> 00:07:29,813
Speaker 2: check that off the top of my head. I think

160
00:07:29,853 --> 00:07:32,613
Speaker 2: that they're five years and that does seem like a

161
00:07:32,653 --> 00:07:34,573
Speaker 2: long time. And I also want to throw something else

162
00:07:34,613 --> 00:07:36,173
Speaker 2: in the mix here when we're talking about it, because

163
00:07:36,173 --> 00:07:38,493
Speaker 2: I think we get rid of MMP. I know there's

164
00:07:38,493 --> 00:07:40,453
Speaker 2: not a strong tide to put that forward, and I

165
00:07:40,453 --> 00:07:44,333
Speaker 2: don't act wouldn't support that because they're in due to MMP.

166
00:07:44,733 --> 00:07:47,853
Speaker 2: But I think it's a rubbish system. I reckon, let's

167
00:07:47,893 --> 00:07:48,973
Speaker 2: go back to first pass the post.

168
00:07:49,093 --> 00:07:51,533
Speaker 3: It is not working as well as it should be working. Absolutely,

169
00:07:51,573 --> 00:07:52,293
Speaker 3: But just as.

170
00:07:52,133 --> 00:07:54,613
Speaker 2: All we ever hear about is the most extreme parties

171
00:07:54,813 --> 00:07:57,373
Speaker 2: and the most extreme voices from people that don't actually

172
00:07:57,413 --> 00:08:00,133
Speaker 2: have to have opinions across the whole government people don't

173
00:08:00,173 --> 00:08:03,493
Speaker 2: have to have sane, sage opinions to seem like they

174
00:08:03,493 --> 00:08:05,653
Speaker 2: could form a good government just here and all the

175
00:08:05,693 --> 00:08:11,093
Speaker 2: media is it's just the far ends yapping at each other. Yep.

176
00:08:11,173 --> 00:08:13,693
Speaker 2: So call first past the post. Yeah, so that's another question.

177
00:08:13,853 --> 00:08:15,453
Speaker 2: It might be hard to get people across the line

178
00:08:15,493 --> 00:08:16,413
Speaker 2: on that one.

179
00:08:16,453 --> 00:08:18,773
Speaker 3: Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty do we need a

180
00:08:18,853 --> 00:08:22,693
Speaker 3: four year term for our governments? And the supplementary question

181
00:08:22,733 --> 00:08:24,813
Speaker 3: from Matt is a time to go back to first

182
00:08:24,813 --> 00:08:27,253
Speaker 3: passing the posts. Love to hear from you. N nine

183
00:08:27,293 --> 00:08:31,813
Speaker 3: to two is the text number. It is fourteen past one, the.

184
00:08:31,853 --> 00:08:35,813
Speaker 1: Big stories, the big issues, the big trends and everything

185
00:08:35,852 --> 00:08:36,453
Speaker 1: in between.

186
00:08:36,653 --> 00:08:39,412
Speaker 4: Matt and Taylor afternoons with the Volvo.

187
00:08:39,293 --> 00:08:42,492
Speaker 1: XC ninety, attention to detail and a commitment to comfort

188
00:08:42,573 --> 00:08:43,412
Speaker 1: news talks.

189
00:08:43,132 --> 00:08:43,453
Speaker 7: There'd be.

190
00:08:45,693 --> 00:08:48,533
Speaker 3: Sixteen pass one and boy oh boy, has this one

191
00:08:48,612 --> 00:08:50,772
Speaker 3: kicked off? So the idea of a four year term

192
00:08:50,813 --> 00:08:53,213
Speaker 3: in parliament, it appears likely that a bill will go

193
00:08:53,293 --> 00:08:56,693
Speaker 3: through Parliament from the act Party and whether or not

194
00:08:56,773 --> 00:08:59,853
Speaker 3: we go as far as a referendum is yet to

195
00:08:59,892 --> 00:09:02,653
Speaker 3: be decided. But a lot of texts and phone calls

196
00:09:02,653 --> 00:09:04,172
Speaker 3: coming through on this one. Nine nine till is the

197
00:09:04,173 --> 00:09:06,732
Speaker 3: text number. Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is

198
00:09:06,773 --> 00:09:08,573
Speaker 3: the number to call? Do you agree when need to

199
00:09:08,612 --> 00:09:11,413
Speaker 3: go to a four year term? Currently obviously we're on

200
00:09:11,453 --> 00:09:12,173
Speaker 3: a three year term.

201
00:09:12,213 --> 00:09:14,252
Speaker 2: Well this is this is a common text that's coming

202
00:09:14,293 --> 00:09:17,132
Speaker 2: through four years of national yay, four years of just

203
00:09:17,173 --> 00:09:20,533
Speaker 2: send to know. So really, if you've got to think

204
00:09:21,053 --> 00:09:25,973
Speaker 2: more than that, then the government that you want, right so,

205
00:09:26,612 --> 00:09:28,612
Speaker 2: because of course if it's the government you don't want,

206
00:09:28,612 --> 00:09:31,372
Speaker 2: you want them out quicker, yeah, but you but if

207
00:09:31,372 --> 00:09:32,213
Speaker 2: you yeah.

208
00:09:32,213 --> 00:09:34,093
Speaker 3: Well, I'm just trying to think of some policy that

209
00:09:34,132 --> 00:09:35,533
Speaker 3: would have got over the line if we had a

210
00:09:35,533 --> 00:09:37,093
Speaker 3: four year term, and I get a lot of people

211
00:09:37,173 --> 00:09:39,973
Speaker 3: were very upset about labor and fair enough to but

212
00:09:40,012 --> 00:09:40,813
Speaker 3: one policy that.

213
00:09:40,773 --> 00:09:42,333
Speaker 2: Came to mind that would have got over the line

214
00:09:42,413 --> 00:09:43,012
Speaker 2: was the theories.

215
00:09:43,453 --> 00:09:45,573
Speaker 3: So if we had a four year term and Label

216
00:09:45,612 --> 00:09:47,772
Speaker 3: was still in it, yes, maybe things would have been worse,

217
00:09:47,813 --> 00:09:50,012
Speaker 3: but we might have had some theories across the lane.

218
00:09:50,012 --> 00:09:53,413
Speaker 2: I never had the money for those theories. They were

219
00:09:53,492 --> 00:09:57,573
Speaker 2: pine in the sky theories. Imagine. You can imagine anything

220
00:09:57,612 --> 00:10:00,693
Speaker 2: you want, You can describe things. For them is a

221
00:10:00,732 --> 00:10:02,612
Speaker 2: lot harder. But anyway, that's not what we're talking about

222
00:10:02,653 --> 00:10:03,933
Speaker 2: all right, four year terms.

223
00:10:03,973 --> 00:10:06,892
Speaker 3: Oh one hundred and eighty ten eighty, Pete, your thoughts

224
00:10:06,933 --> 00:10:07,093
Speaker 3: on this?

225
00:10:08,372 --> 00:10:10,653
Speaker 8: There you go, and we're going to get the Ministry

226
00:10:10,732 --> 00:10:13,693
Speaker 8: of Health and check out the water or something because

227
00:10:13,732 --> 00:10:17,053
Speaker 8: I think there's causing dementia. I think something something, something

228
00:10:17,093 --> 00:10:20,293
Speaker 8: in the water, because people must have short memories the

229
00:10:20,372 --> 00:10:24,893
Speaker 8: last government another Yeah, we we'd be being bugget I

230
00:10:24,892 --> 00:10:27,173
Speaker 8: think three years is fine. Live the way it is

231
00:10:27,252 --> 00:10:30,132
Speaker 8: that they perform, well, we just roll them over three

232
00:10:30,252 --> 00:10:33,453
Speaker 8: terms four years. But David Seymour, he's got his own

233
00:10:33,453 --> 00:10:36,772
Speaker 8: political agenda. Of course, once again with you, he's trying

234
00:10:36,773 --> 00:10:39,453
Speaker 8: to do a lot of things, and I think there

235
00:10:39,533 --> 00:10:42,453
Speaker 8: trying to privatize the public hospitals and that we don't

236
00:10:42,453 --> 00:10:44,732
Speaker 8: want about either. So some city stuff gown on right

237
00:10:44,732 --> 00:10:47,333
Speaker 8: now in the country and in Barazonas then I'm definitely

238
00:10:47,372 --> 00:10:50,692
Speaker 8: going I want to sick this in the three terms three.

239
00:10:50,252 --> 00:10:52,173
Speaker 2: What do you say about that's, Pete, that you know,

240
00:10:52,213 --> 00:10:54,773
Speaker 2: it's a nice idea that you have three years and

241
00:10:54,813 --> 00:10:56,413
Speaker 2: then if you if they're doing well, you give them

242
00:10:56,453 --> 00:11:02,893
Speaker 2: another three years. But but what say you know they're

243
00:11:02,892 --> 00:11:04,973
Speaker 2: not actually doing anything the three years because they're so

244
00:11:05,053 --> 00:11:07,372
Speaker 2: focused on telling the people what they want to hear

245
00:11:07,732 --> 00:11:10,253
Speaker 2: to get real elected, that they only do about a

246
00:11:10,333 --> 00:11:12,333
Speaker 2: year's worth of work once they've worked out what they

247
00:11:12,372 --> 00:11:14,173
Speaker 2: want to do once they once they get in. So

248
00:11:14,252 --> 00:11:18,133
Speaker 2: we're actually getting short sighted governments that don't actually do anything.

249
00:11:20,252 --> 00:11:23,892
Speaker 8: Yes, but then again, I think what's happened is the

250
00:11:24,012 --> 00:11:27,372
Speaker 8: National Round now is crossing them there. Their polls are

251
00:11:27,372 --> 00:11:30,333
Speaker 8: going down with the fairies, and then how they've stopped that.

252
00:11:31,132 --> 00:11:35,132
Speaker 8: They want to promote progression and motivation and all that,

253
00:11:35,173 --> 00:11:38,533
Speaker 8: and Chris Luxon's saying that by pulling the pin on

254
00:11:38,573 --> 00:11:41,573
Speaker 8: those theories was a dumb thing to do. That was motivation.

255
00:11:41,933 --> 00:11:43,932
Speaker 2: This is off topic though people about the fairies. I

256
00:11:44,173 --> 00:11:47,852
Speaker 2: disagree with you totally on that, but that's that's so

257
00:11:48,213 --> 00:11:50,813
Speaker 2: if the last government had been in, Tyler says, we

258
00:11:51,053 --> 00:11:52,893
Speaker 2: would have got those theories. Hang on, I don't want

259
00:11:52,892 --> 00:11:53,453
Speaker 2: talk about the feries.

260
00:11:54,012 --> 00:11:55,973
Speaker 3: Well, we've got to think about policies that you could

261
00:11:56,012 --> 00:11:57,973
Speaker 3: if you had an extra year up your sleeve as

262
00:11:57,973 --> 00:12:00,053
Speaker 3: a government, could you get more done? As the base

263
00:12:00,173 --> 00:12:03,093
Speaker 3: question without focusing on specific policies. And I brought up

264
00:12:03,093 --> 00:12:05,372
Speaker 3: theories to be honest, Pete, but that takes it away

265
00:12:05,413 --> 00:12:07,373
Speaker 3: from from what we're discussing here a little bit, but

266
00:12:07,612 --> 00:12:10,173
Speaker 3: on your argument, and could you not say one, why

267
00:12:10,213 --> 00:12:12,733
Speaker 3: not two years? And if they do well in those

268
00:12:12,773 --> 00:12:14,813
Speaker 3: two years, then they get another two years.

269
00:12:15,973 --> 00:12:18,413
Speaker 8: Now you're just going to realize, I said before, where

270
00:12:18,813 --> 00:12:22,013
Speaker 8: if we had another year of labor, this country would

271
00:12:22,012 --> 00:12:24,333
Speaker 8: have been buggered. So we don't want to go down

272
00:12:24,372 --> 00:12:26,853
Speaker 8: that track ever. Ever again, three years is fine, just

273
00:12:26,973 --> 00:12:30,412
Speaker 8: rolling over the perform Well, we're given them, they're going down,

274
00:12:30,453 --> 00:12:33,333
Speaker 8: putting the polls, all the poles I want poles now

275
00:12:33,333 --> 00:12:35,813
Speaker 8: as far to you ignore the poles now the labor

276
00:12:35,852 --> 00:12:38,492
Speaker 8: polls and he has only glad their own trumpet prasent

277
00:12:38,573 --> 00:12:42,693
Speaker 8: last pole goes, don't ignore that totally. If the date's

278
00:12:42,693 --> 00:12:46,613
Speaker 8: started performing the next to the next eighteen months, the same,

279
00:12:46,693 --> 00:12:48,933
Speaker 8: all these things that a lot of people now that

280
00:12:50,012 --> 00:12:53,893
Speaker 8: now they're just fire people. There's a dictation ship going. Well,

281
00:12:53,973 --> 00:12:55,693
Speaker 8: if you're going to have experience it, we'll just can't

282
00:12:55,693 --> 00:12:56,293
Speaker 8: get rid of them.

283
00:12:56,333 --> 00:13:00,093
Speaker 2: Yeah, great, thanks for your opinion. Pizza is no, no, no,

284
00:13:00,213 --> 00:13:02,333
Speaker 2: three years is enough.

285
00:13:02,653 --> 00:13:04,213
Speaker 3: I mean it goes back to your point. That just

286
00:13:04,213 --> 00:13:06,732
Speaker 3: feels a bit of trouble. Right then, he was worried

287
00:13:06,732 --> 00:13:09,532
Speaker 3: about labor even another year, but there'd be people worried

288
00:13:09,533 --> 00:13:12,093
Speaker 3: about any government having another year or maybe not.

289
00:13:12,413 --> 00:13:14,053
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think I think it'd be very

290
00:13:14,093 --> 00:13:16,293
Speaker 2: controversial of a government seed right now we're going to

291
00:13:16,293 --> 00:13:19,013
Speaker 2: extend our own term. Yeah, so yeah, you have to

292
00:13:19,053 --> 00:13:20,892
Speaker 2: look at it in terms of just that being the

293
00:13:20,973 --> 00:13:23,053
Speaker 2: future going forward, and you know, you hope that you're

294
00:13:23,293 --> 00:13:25,693
Speaker 2: the government that you agree with has the best the

295
00:13:25,732 --> 00:13:28,132
Speaker 2: best sales pitch to get in for that. Four years absolutely.

296
00:13:28,173 --> 00:13:30,693
Speaker 3: Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call.

297
00:13:31,012 --> 00:13:34,453
Speaker 3: Is a four year government term better a better option

298
00:13:34,573 --> 00:13:36,533
Speaker 3: than three years that we currently have? When is that

299
00:13:36,573 --> 00:13:38,492
Speaker 3: the right numbers? Should we extend it out till five

300
00:13:38,612 --> 00:13:39,333
Speaker 3: like the UK does?

301
00:13:39,492 --> 00:13:41,813
Speaker 2: Yeah? How should we get a benevolent dictator that gets

302
00:13:42,453 --> 00:13:44,852
Speaker 2: that gets an aimless term so we can have fifty

303
00:13:44,933 --> 00:13:48,453
Speaker 2: year plans? Yeah? Yeah, And questions supplementary question should we

304
00:13:48,453 --> 00:13:49,333
Speaker 2: get rid of MP.

305
00:13:49,813 --> 00:13:52,132
Speaker 3: Oh eight one hundred eighty ten eighty is the number

306
00:13:52,173 --> 00:13:53,892
Speaker 3: to call? It is twenty one past one.

307
00:13:55,533 --> 00:13:59,933
Speaker 1: Putting the tough questions to the newspeakers, The mic asking breakfast.

308
00:13:59,492 --> 00:14:01,893
Speaker 9: Former Australian Prime miners to Scott Morrison is well us,

309
00:14:01,892 --> 00:14:03,973
Speaker 9: of course you're in the country to talk about economics,

310
00:14:04,012 --> 00:14:06,493
Speaker 9: which we're deeply interested in at the moment and trying

311
00:14:06,533 --> 00:14:09,412
Speaker 9: to grow the economy. So give us some advice from Australia.

312
00:14:09,453 --> 00:14:11,293
Speaker 2: How do you deal with the world.

313
00:14:11,053 --> 00:14:14,253
Speaker 9: And foreign investments and immigrants and their money without blowing

314
00:14:14,293 --> 00:14:15,012
Speaker 9: it up politically.

315
00:14:15,093 --> 00:14:17,652
Speaker 10: It's a tough equation to balance. The most important thing

316
00:14:17,732 --> 00:14:20,653
Speaker 10: is people need to understand that your immigration program has

317
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,413
Speaker 10: strong rules and they're enforced, and that your borders are secure.

318
00:14:23,453 --> 00:14:25,493
Speaker 10: In our experience in Australia, if people don't think the

319
00:14:25,533 --> 00:14:27,933
Speaker 10: rules are being followed and the system's being gained, they

320
00:14:27,973 --> 00:14:30,693
Speaker 10: won't buy it. But more broadly, on attracting foreign investment,

321
00:14:30,733 --> 00:14:33,973
Speaker 10: removed the barriers that are coming through regulation to improve competitiveness.

322
00:14:34,013 --> 00:14:35,333
Speaker 10: It's really not rocket science.

323
00:14:35,573 --> 00:14:38,853
Speaker 9: Back Monday from six am The Mike Asking Breakfast with

324
00:14:38,933 --> 00:14:41,253
Speaker 9: Mayby's Real Estate News Talk ZB.

325
00:14:41,373 --> 00:14:43,412
Speaker 3: Twenty four past one. We're talking about the idea of

326
00:14:43,453 --> 00:14:46,773
Speaker 3: a four year parliamentary term. Good idea or not?

327
00:14:47,773 --> 00:14:48,813
Speaker 2: Sam? Your thoughts on this?

328
00:14:50,933 --> 00:14:55,893
Speaker 11: Okay, guys, Yeah, it has to a four year term? Well,

329
00:14:55,933 --> 00:14:58,853
Speaker 11: I be talking about would have been a nightmare of

330
00:14:58,933 --> 00:15:01,093
Speaker 11: just under it had two four year terms. I think

331
00:15:01,173 --> 00:15:04,373
Speaker 11: probably she would have been voted out after the first

332
00:15:04,373 --> 00:15:06,333
Speaker 11: four year terms and we would have only had four

333
00:15:06,333 --> 00:15:06,853
Speaker 11: instead of.

334
00:15:06,773 --> 00:15:12,093
Speaker 3: Six years with theotentially, Yeah, yeah, because I think the

335
00:15:12,093 --> 00:15:13,973
Speaker 3: cracks are definitely started to show a bit more of

336
00:15:14,253 --> 00:15:15,532
Speaker 3: four years.

337
00:15:16,373 --> 00:15:18,973
Speaker 11: Conversely, conversely, you know, they can get more done in

338
00:15:19,053 --> 00:15:22,413
Speaker 11: four years. But these guys throwing at the moment, I've

339
00:15:22,453 --> 00:15:23,013
Speaker 11: got a fear.

340
00:15:24,293 --> 00:15:29,133
Speaker 2: Oh Sam, you're still there. We've lost Sam. Oh sorry Sam, Johnny,

341
00:15:29,133 --> 00:15:30,693
Speaker 2: can you say that point again? You just you just

342
00:15:30,733 --> 00:15:32,173
Speaker 2: dipped out for a second what you're saying.

343
00:15:32,213 --> 00:15:36,013
Speaker 11: So, yeah, I think these guys right now probably really

344
00:15:36,053 --> 00:15:37,853
Speaker 11: what they're trying to do is just get re elected

345
00:15:37,893 --> 00:15:40,013
Speaker 11: so they can have another three year term where they

346
00:15:40,013 --> 00:15:43,133
Speaker 11: can really do a bit more. Yeah, you know, you

347
00:15:43,213 --> 00:15:45,213
Speaker 11: can set a bit of groundwork for that first three

348
00:15:45,293 --> 00:15:48,333
Speaker 11: years and then you know, you rip into it for

349
00:15:48,333 --> 00:15:52,373
Speaker 11: the next three years. But yeah, four year term you

350
00:15:52,493 --> 00:15:54,573
Speaker 11: get a lot more tune. You can sort of make

351
00:15:54,653 --> 00:15:55,733
Speaker 11: the difference.

352
00:15:55,293 --> 00:15:57,573
Speaker 12: And then yeah, if you get in, if you get

353
00:15:57,613 --> 00:15:59,453
Speaker 12: them again, you can really really keep going.

354
00:15:59,773 --> 00:16:03,293
Speaker 3: So genuine question, would we have to change the term

355
00:16:03,373 --> 00:16:05,453
Speaker 3: of local body election as well, because it kind of

356
00:16:05,493 --> 00:16:09,093
Speaker 3: sits quite nicely right that you have the general election

357
00:16:09,613 --> 00:16:12,333
Speaker 3: then in eighteen months you have the local body, then

358
00:16:12,373 --> 00:16:14,773
Speaker 3: eighteen months you're back to the general. So would you

359
00:16:14,853 --> 00:16:17,093
Speaker 3: have to change local body to four years as well?

360
00:16:18,973 --> 00:16:19,573
Speaker 2: Think you probably?

361
00:16:20,493 --> 00:16:23,253
Speaker 11: I think you've got more challenge to get people adged.

362
00:16:23,413 --> 00:16:25,573
Speaker 3: Well, that's why I asked, because you look at local

363
00:16:25,613 --> 00:16:27,853
Speaker 3: body now and am my, oh my, I mean Wellington.

364
00:16:28,053 --> 00:16:31,413
Speaker 2: Yeah, when was the last time we only had a

365
00:16:31,493 --> 00:16:34,133
Speaker 2: one term government? And that's the question because what we

366
00:16:34,213 --> 00:16:36,573
Speaker 2: generally get here is six It's kind of to further

367
00:16:36,653 --> 00:16:40,133
Speaker 2: what you're saying, Sam, we get six term government six

368
00:16:40,213 --> 00:16:45,853
Speaker 2: of your governments, because three years isn't normally enough time

369
00:16:45,973 --> 00:16:50,373
Speaker 2: for people to change their opinion around why they voted

370
00:16:50,613 --> 00:16:54,653
Speaker 2: a previous government out. Although you know, the news cyclers

371
00:16:54,853 --> 00:16:57,413
Speaker 2: are rotating so quickly now, three years might seem like

372
00:16:57,453 --> 00:17:00,253
Speaker 2: a lot longer in politics than it used to. People

373
00:17:00,293 --> 00:17:02,213
Speaker 2: seem to have shorter memories than they ever had before.

374
00:17:03,373 --> 00:17:09,453
Speaker 11: But yeah, but I suppose people don't have enough time

375
00:17:09,453 --> 00:17:14,133
Speaker 11: to get disenfranchised for the party two, which is I

376
00:17:14,173 --> 00:17:17,893
Speaker 11: think probably what we saw the last Labor government. You know,

377
00:17:17,933 --> 00:17:20,133
Speaker 11: they got re elected at three years and year COVID

378
00:17:20,253 --> 00:17:22,613
Speaker 11: probably had a lot to do with it. But if

379
00:17:23,133 --> 00:17:25,013
Speaker 11: that sort of had another year in power, I think

380
00:17:25,053 --> 00:17:27,573
Speaker 11: that's when the tide has turned, and they would.

381
00:17:27,373 --> 00:17:28,173
Speaker 13: Have been pointed out.

382
00:17:30,173 --> 00:17:31,853
Speaker 2: I wonder if we should just go six year terms,

383
00:17:31,893 --> 00:17:33,413
Speaker 2: because that's what we tend to get. We either get

384
00:17:33,693 --> 00:17:36,413
Speaker 2: two or three term governments. Just go six years. You've

385
00:17:36,453 --> 00:17:40,173
Speaker 2: got six years to get it done and if you don't,

386
00:17:40,213 --> 00:17:43,053
Speaker 2: then you're out. But that's your shot. That's your shot.

387
00:17:43,173 --> 00:17:45,973
Speaker 11: Yeah, there's an argument is to go to the Chinese

388
00:17:46,173 --> 00:17:48,413
Speaker 11: and don't worry about.

389
00:17:48,533 --> 00:17:50,653
Speaker 2: Well, the ideal if we're Sam, if we could find

390
00:17:50,653 --> 00:17:54,693
Speaker 2: a benevolent dictator, like just super smart person that we

391
00:17:54,773 --> 00:17:57,933
Speaker 2: all trust, that doesn't get corrupted by power, and so

392
00:17:58,013 --> 00:18:00,533
Speaker 2: we could have fifty year plans, then that would be

393
00:18:00,573 --> 00:18:02,373
Speaker 2: a good thing. The only the only problem is these

394
00:18:02,373 --> 00:18:04,893
Speaker 2: dictators they don't they tend to go crazy. Pretty good

395
00:18:05,093 --> 00:18:05,453
Speaker 2: they turn.

396
00:18:05,493 --> 00:18:07,173
Speaker 3: I mean they get stuff done, no doubt about it,

397
00:18:07,213 --> 00:18:08,493
Speaker 3: but they start to turn pretty quick.

398
00:18:08,413 --> 00:18:10,573
Speaker 2: Get a bit Jijingping on it, you know, they get

399
00:18:10,573 --> 00:18:14,853
Speaker 2: a bit Caligula on it.

400
00:18:14,773 --> 00:18:18,613
Speaker 11: It's unfortunately, democracy the best of the worst case.

401
00:18:20,133 --> 00:18:20,573
Speaker 5: Exactly.

402
00:18:23,773 --> 00:18:26,373
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I think if you call Sam, appreciate it.

403
00:18:26,413 --> 00:18:28,613
Speaker 2: You have a great day and a great weekend.

404
00:18:28,893 --> 00:18:31,253
Speaker 3: You asked a question before how many one term governments

405
00:18:31,253 --> 00:18:33,573
Speaker 3: have we had in our history here in New Zealand.

406
00:18:33,613 --> 00:18:35,733
Speaker 2: So we've had two, right when were they?

407
00:18:36,533 --> 00:18:39,293
Speaker 3: So it was the second Labor government led by Walton

408
00:18:39,373 --> 00:18:41,493
Speaker 3: Nash nineteen fifty seven to nineteen.

409
00:18:41,213 --> 00:18:43,653
Speaker 2: Sixty, humiliating Nash yep.

410
00:18:43,773 --> 00:18:46,933
Speaker 3: And the second one was the third Labor government led

411
00:18:46,933 --> 00:18:50,253
Speaker 3: by Norman Kirk and Bill Rowlan nineteen.

412
00:18:49,933 --> 00:18:52,533
Speaker 2: Seventy two to seventy four. That's interesting. So we've essentially

413
00:18:52,573 --> 00:18:57,853
Speaker 2: had six or nine year governments. Yeah, in our whole history.

414
00:18:58,133 --> 00:19:00,213
Speaker 2: Apart from those, we tend to give people the chants,

415
00:19:00,253 --> 00:19:02,333
Speaker 2: don't we to go again? I mean, the Poles aren't

416
00:19:02,333 --> 00:19:06,853
Speaker 2: going swillingly at the moment for the coalition, but you know,

417
00:19:06,893 --> 00:19:10,453
Speaker 2: as the economy gets better, you can seem likely to

418
00:19:10,493 --> 00:19:11,573
Speaker 2: me that they'll get back in.

419
00:19:11,933 --> 00:19:14,013
Speaker 3: I think we're a fear lot though, and maybe I'm

420
00:19:14,013 --> 00:19:16,093
Speaker 3: starting to change my mind about this four year term

421
00:19:16,173 --> 00:19:19,173
Speaker 3: that as a country we seem to give the governments

422
00:19:19,213 --> 00:19:21,773
Speaker 3: a shot that hate three year the first term might

423
00:19:21,853 --> 00:19:23,453
Speaker 3: not have gone so well, but we'll give you the

424
00:19:23,493 --> 00:19:24,733
Speaker 3: benefit of the doubt for another go.

425
00:19:25,213 --> 00:19:27,973
Speaker 2: Yeah, so effectively that success. But it still comes back

426
00:19:28,093 --> 00:19:30,532
Speaker 2: to the situation now where a covent government is going

427
00:19:30,573 --> 00:19:33,933
Speaker 2: to start campaigning to get re elected now and not

428
00:19:34,013 --> 00:19:37,733
Speaker 2: necessarily doing that making the hard decisions that are unpopular

429
00:19:37,773 --> 00:19:40,093
Speaker 2: that need to be made that pay off in the

430
00:19:40,093 --> 00:19:43,773
Speaker 2: long term. So you know, within about six months now

431
00:19:43,813 --> 00:19:45,693
Speaker 2: the government will go into full re election mode. They

432
00:19:45,733 --> 00:19:49,253
Speaker 2: will which wasn't enough time and work mode.

433
00:19:49,333 --> 00:19:51,613
Speaker 3: And arguably some of the little guys have already started.

434

Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Rayleen, and we are talking about

459
00:21:21,693 --> 00:21:25,733
Speaker 3: the idea of a four year parliamentary term. David Seymour,

460
00:21:26,053 --> 00:21:28,333
Speaker 3: on the back of a speech to the Auckland Chamber

461
00:21:28,413 --> 00:21:32,213
Speaker 3: of Commerce, said that there will be a bill introduced

462
00:21:32,213 --> 00:21:35,733
Speaker 3: to Parliament very shortly on a four year political term.

463
00:21:35,813 --> 00:21:37,973
Speaker 3: Where it goes from there is still up for debates.

464
00:21:38,133 --> 00:21:42,133
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, so that the aim would be to have

465
00:21:42,293 --> 00:21:44,853
Speaker 2: a binding referendum I'm assuming in the next selection.

466
00:21:45,133 --> 00:21:47,613
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't know if we need a referendum,

467
00:21:47,893 --> 00:21:51,133
Speaker 3: you reckon just go for it. I reckon that if

468
00:21:51,133 --> 00:21:53,453
Speaker 3: the parties, if they can get a majority on that

469
00:21:53,453 --> 00:21:55,613
Speaker 3: bill and all decide that that is a good thing,

470
00:21:56,013 --> 00:21:58,413
Speaker 3: they might put it out for submissions to the general public.

471
00:21:58,893 --> 00:22:00,773
Speaker 2: I could be wrong on this, So I think things

472
00:22:00,853 --> 00:22:04,773
Speaker 2: like this. Constitutional changes like this do require a referendum.

473
00:22:06,213 --> 00:22:09,093
Speaker 2: I think you'll change that. You want to get a

474
00:22:09,093 --> 00:22:13,613
Speaker 2: Trumpeton here, they're just signs, big steake menus and holds

475
00:22:13,653 --> 00:22:18,133
Speaker 2: them up right. O one hundred eighty ten eighty is

476
00:22:18,173 --> 00:22:19,653
Speaker 2: a four year term? Sensible?

477
00:22:19,853 --> 00:22:22,053
Speaker 3: Is that the right amount? I mean, do we even

478
00:22:22,173 --> 00:22:23,853
Speaker 3: need to look at what they do in the UK

479
00:22:24,053 --> 00:22:26,173
Speaker 3: have a five year term? O hundred eighty ten eighty's

480
00:22:26,253 --> 00:22:26,693
Speaker 3: the number?

481
00:22:26,773 --> 00:22:29,453
Speaker 2: Call Tim, welcome to the show. Your thoughts on this.

482
00:22:30,933 --> 00:22:33,453
Speaker 15: Yeah, we had our own trump because that was Sir

483
00:22:33,533 --> 00:22:40,093
Speaker 15: Robert Muldoon. But I'm all for the four year term

484
00:22:40,293 --> 00:22:43,453
Speaker 15: with a big caveat. We have a three year term

485
00:22:43,573 --> 00:22:46,973
Speaker 15: because in nineteen fifty five we did away with the

486
00:22:47,013 --> 00:22:50,693
Speaker 15: Upper House of Parliament. Now if we bring back the

487
00:22:50,733 --> 00:22:54,733
Speaker 15: upper House of Parliament, I'll be all for the four

488
00:22:54,813 --> 00:22:55,293
Speaker 15: year term.

489
00:22:55,493 --> 00:22:57,933
Speaker 2: Can you explain how can you explain how the upper

490
00:22:57,933 --> 00:22:59,453
Speaker 2: House of Parliament works him.

491
00:23:01,973 --> 00:23:04,453
Speaker 15: You'd have to talk to a constitutional lawyer about that.

492
00:23:04,533 --> 00:23:10,773
Speaker 15: But even Jeffrey Palmer, our former Prime minister, he described

493
00:23:10,853 --> 00:23:14,893
Speaker 15: MW Zealand's parliament as the wild West of parliament in

494
00:23:14,933 --> 00:23:18,213
Speaker 15: the Western world because there isn't the chicks and dances.

495
00:23:18,253 --> 00:23:21,013
Speaker 15: Young have to look at sender House to force through

496
00:23:21,013 --> 00:23:25,733
Speaker 15: the firearms changes just overnight. You know, that sort of

497
00:23:25,733 --> 00:23:28,373
Speaker 15: thing should have gone through and upper hose to Parliament.

498
00:23:29,133 --> 00:23:34,053
Speaker 2: And so effectively, so you carry on to the room.

499
00:23:34,373 --> 00:23:37,093
Speaker 15: Is still there in the Parliament building. I've been in

500
00:23:37,173 --> 00:23:39,493
Speaker 15: the Upper House of Parliament. It's still there and it's

501
00:23:39,613 --> 00:23:42,573
Speaker 15: used for the King's Speech and on things like that.

502
00:23:42,893 --> 00:23:46,213
Speaker 15: It's all there. We just have to bring it ooken

503
00:23:46,333 --> 00:23:50,253
Speaker 15: some people and bring it back. And that's what we

504
00:23:50,333 --> 00:23:57,533
Speaker 15: need is up at another and yeah, so it was called.

505
00:23:57,373 --> 00:24:00,653
Speaker 2: The it was called the Legislative Council. The Leigiers of

506
00:24:00,693 --> 00:24:02,853
Speaker 2: Council was part of New Zealand's parliament for almost one

507
00:24:02,933 --> 00:24:05,853
Speaker 2: hundred years. The Legiers of Council was the upper house

508
00:24:05,853 --> 00:24:07,613
Speaker 2: of New zealand parliament until nine to fifty one. It

509
00:24:07,693 --> 00:24:10,053
Speaker 2: was modeled on the British House of Lords, unlike the

510
00:24:10,053 --> 00:24:14,173
Speaker 2: elected House of Representatives, Council members were appointed, so then

511
00:24:14,213 --> 00:24:15,773
Speaker 2: every law has to go through them, and you get

512
00:24:15,813 --> 00:24:18,253
Speaker 2: that kind of situation we have in the States. Yeah,

513
00:24:18,253 --> 00:24:21,133
Speaker 2: where you've got the Congress and the House of Representatives

514
00:24:20,853 --> 00:24:24,613
Speaker 2: and you know, or the House of Lords in the UK.

515
00:24:25,053 --> 00:24:26,933
Speaker 2: But that doesn't that just stop anything happening.

516
00:24:27,133 --> 00:24:30,933
Speaker 3: Yeah, and if that's appointed by the Governor General. I

517
00:24:32,093 --> 00:24:35,653
Speaker 3: don't know how I feel about that. I mean, effectively, Yeah,

518
00:24:35,733 --> 00:24:37,853
Speaker 3: you've got a House of Lords, so that is appointed

519
00:24:37,853 --> 00:24:40,013
Speaker 3: by the Governor General, who was appointed by the King

520
00:24:40,053 --> 00:24:40,573
Speaker 3: of England.

521
00:24:41,053 --> 00:24:41,893
Speaker 2: No, I don't know.

522
00:24:41,973 --> 00:24:44,093
Speaker 3: The more I think about the upper House. Hear what

523
00:24:44,093 --> 00:24:45,973
Speaker 3: you're saying, Tim, But I think we've got it pretty

524
00:24:46,013 --> 00:24:46,453
Speaker 3: well now.

525
00:24:46,853 --> 00:24:50,653
Speaker 2: Sure, in your thoughts, three years.

526
00:24:51,813 --> 00:24:55,653
Speaker 16: And no more, no less. Two's not enough and four

527
00:24:55,733 --> 00:24:59,693
Speaker 16: is too much. And the idea has been bandied around

528
00:25:00,013 --> 00:25:05,053
Speaker 16: many many years ago, rejected and you neglect the collective

529
00:25:05,093 --> 00:25:11,413
Speaker 16: wisdom of the electorate, that your peril. There's no argument.

530
00:25:11,773 --> 00:25:13,933
Speaker 16: It's just it's just a no goer.

531
00:25:14,573 --> 00:25:14,773
Speaker 14: Yeah.

532
00:25:14,773 --> 00:25:16,893
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, but you would be taking as a referendum,

533
00:25:16,893 --> 00:25:20,053
Speaker 2: so you wouldn't be ignoring the electorate, would you. You'd

534
00:25:20,093 --> 00:25:22,053
Speaker 2: be finding out from them whether they want a four

535
00:25:22,093 --> 00:25:24,173
Speaker 2: year term. But you're quite right. It was rejected in

536
00:25:24,333 --> 00:25:27,973
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty seven, I believe. Yeah, sixty eight percent of

537
00:25:28,053 --> 00:25:30,333
Speaker 2: voters rejected a four year term in a referendum in

538
00:25:30,373 --> 00:25:33,573
Speaker 2: ninety sixty seven and again in nineteen ninety by sixty

539
00:25:34,093 --> 00:25:37,053
Speaker 2: nine percent. Do you think, Sean, it would be popular.

540
00:25:37,253 --> 00:25:38,493
Speaker 2: You don't like the idea of it, but do you

541
00:25:38,493 --> 00:25:40,973
Speaker 2: think it would go through if it was put to referendum?

542
00:25:41,013 --> 00:25:41,173
Speaker 7: Now?

543
00:25:42,213 --> 00:25:42,493
Speaker 17: Nope.

544
00:25:45,813 --> 00:25:50,053
Speaker 16: I'm ninety years old and I've seen quite a bit

545
00:25:50,133 --> 00:25:54,133
Speaker 16: of coming and going and I'm quite happy with what

546
00:25:54,173 --> 00:25:58,573
Speaker 16: we've got. It works, and if something's working, you don't

547
00:25:58,573 --> 00:25:59,013
Speaker 16: fix it.

548
00:25:59,293 --> 00:26:01,813
Speaker 2: So, Sean, you would have voted in the nineteen sixty

549
00:26:01,853 --> 00:26:04,693
Speaker 2: seven and nineteen sixty nine referendum, so I assume you

550
00:26:04,773 --> 00:26:07,133
Speaker 2: voted no back then if you can remember.

551
00:26:08,453 --> 00:26:11,013
Speaker 16: I can't remember what I did, but I don't think

552
00:26:11,013 --> 00:26:12,893
Speaker 16: that I would have voted for it.

553
00:26:13,573 --> 00:26:16,253
Speaker 3: If it does go to a referendum, Sean, and it

554
00:26:16,253 --> 00:26:19,413
Speaker 3: goes to the public and we or New Zealand decide

555
00:26:19,413 --> 00:26:21,773
Speaker 3: that we do go to a four year term, you will.

556
00:26:21,493 --> 00:26:23,453
Speaker 2: Just accept that. Well, you'll have to accept that. But

557
00:26:23,893 --> 00:26:25,693
Speaker 2: do you think he's going to hit the streets. Well

558
00:26:26,773 --> 00:26:27,573
Speaker 2: you're going to protest that.

559
00:26:27,653 --> 00:26:32,013
Speaker 16: Sure, No, I'm not a protester, but I am quite

560
00:26:32,013 --> 00:26:37,853
Speaker 16: good at putting my idea forward ware of it gains

561
00:26:37,853 --> 00:26:38,733
Speaker 16: fertile ground.

562
00:26:38,973 --> 00:26:40,733
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, good on you, Sean. Thank you for your call.

563
00:26:40,813 --> 00:26:42,853
Speaker 2: You're a sprightly ninety year old. I'll give you that, Sean.

564
00:26:43,053 --> 00:26:46,173
Speaker 3: A quick couple of texts here, guys, the idea of

565
00:26:46,173 --> 00:26:50,733
Speaker 3: a four year term seemed logical until the Durn Labor

566
00:26:50,773 --> 00:26:55,573
Speaker 3: government who brought in a lot of policies that caused

567
00:26:55,613 --> 00:26:56,693
Speaker 3: a lot of damage.

568
00:26:56,733 --> 00:27:00,733
Speaker 2: That's from Sarah. Yeah, although someone you know, I can't

569
00:27:00,773 --> 00:27:02,893
Speaker 2: remember who was called before. Sorry, I had a big

570
00:27:02,973 --> 00:27:05,173
Speaker 2: night last night at the Changey's where I won an award.

571
00:27:05,253 --> 00:27:07,253
Speaker 3: Well deserved. Congratulations by the way.

572
00:27:07,373 --> 00:27:10,613
Speaker 2: I just thought of bring that up. But potentially a

573
00:27:10,693 --> 00:27:13,693
Speaker 2: government doesn't get again, what we generally get is a

574
00:27:13,693 --> 00:27:16,093
Speaker 2: minimum of six years. Only twice in their entire history,

575
00:27:16,093 --> 00:27:18,053
Speaker 2: as you're saying before, Tyler, have we had three year

576
00:27:18,773 --> 00:27:23,052
Speaker 2: a one term government. So generally you get six years.

577
00:27:23,853 --> 00:27:26,333
Speaker 2: So there would be a potential that that Labor government

578
00:27:26,333 --> 00:27:27,933
Speaker 2: would have only been in there for four because things

579
00:27:27,933 --> 00:27:30,293
Speaker 2: were going off the boil, and the one year into

580
00:27:30,293 --> 00:27:33,533
Speaker 2: their second term. Yep, this is an interesting idea. Guys.

581
00:27:33,573 --> 00:27:36,333
Speaker 3: How about four years? But if you get re elected,

582
00:27:36,373 --> 00:27:39,053
Speaker 3: your subsequent term is only three years before the next

583
00:27:39,093 --> 00:27:39,853
Speaker 3: election from Blake.

584
00:27:40,333 --> 00:27:42,812
Speaker 2: Okay, that's an idea, but why what would that be

585
00:27:42,893 --> 00:27:44,413
Speaker 2: It's kind of a punishment for doing well.

586
00:27:45,453 --> 00:27:47,173
Speaker 3: It should be the other way that it's three years

587
00:27:47,173 --> 00:27:48,733
Speaker 3: and if you do well this four years?

588
00:27:48,813 --> 00:27:50,893
Speaker 2: Is that just because you don't want people being in

589
00:27:50,933 --> 00:27:54,253
Speaker 2: there for eight years? That that's an interesting one. And

590
00:27:54,253 --> 00:27:55,733
Speaker 2: then your third term would that be two years?

591
00:27:57,293 --> 00:27:57,493
Speaker 18: Yeah?

592
00:27:58,573 --> 00:28:00,373
Speaker 2: What happens if you get you get four years and

593
00:28:00,413 --> 00:28:03,533
Speaker 2: if you do the next terms ten years because because

594
00:28:03,533 --> 00:28:05,693
Speaker 2: they get a bit complicated, because you've proven yourself over

595
00:28:05,733 --> 00:28:07,532
Speaker 2: four years that you're doing a great job, so then

596
00:28:07,573 --> 00:28:09,373
Speaker 2: you've earned yourself right for ten years old.

597
00:28:09,373 --> 00:28:11,213
Speaker 3: I like the idea of a reward. Maybe he give

598
00:28:11,213 --> 00:28:13,093
Speaker 3: them two years and then if they do well, give

599
00:28:13,093 --> 00:28:15,173
Speaker 3: them four years. Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is

600
00:28:15,213 --> 00:28:17,653
Speaker 3: the number to go, Peter, four year terms?

601
00:28:17,693 --> 00:28:19,653
Speaker 2: You into it well.

602
00:28:20,013 --> 00:28:23,213
Speaker 19: Next Smith before he was need of a Young Nationals

603
00:28:23,893 --> 00:28:28,253
Speaker 19: meeting before the nineteen eighty four election where Label won.

604
00:28:29,453 --> 00:28:31,773
Speaker 19: Bob Jones was going to address the meeting, but because

605
00:28:31,773 --> 00:28:35,133
Speaker 19: he started the New Zealand Party. I think Philip Burdhon,

606
00:28:36,133 --> 00:28:40,973
Speaker 19: former MP, may have canceled his invitation. So and the

607
00:28:41,093 --> 00:28:45,373
Speaker 19: talk of all these young like next Smith, Oh no,

608
00:28:45,653 --> 00:28:48,013
Speaker 19: labor are going to get in next time and we

609
00:28:48,093 --> 00:28:51,013
Speaker 19: don't want it, you know. So you know we can't

610
00:28:51,013 --> 00:28:57,173
Speaker 19: agree at the moment. And it's the same Neil all round,

611
00:28:57,173 --> 00:29:01,973
Speaker 19: isn't it. People really need to understand economics because whatever

612
00:29:02,453 --> 00:29:05,453
Speaker 19: party you gave for already doesn't change much. JST hasn't

613
00:29:05,453 --> 00:29:08,813
Speaker 19: gone down despite the opposition at the time. Oh no,

614
00:29:08,933 --> 00:29:12,533
Speaker 19: it's outrage, it's going up. And just like National said

615
00:29:12,573 --> 00:29:15,813
Speaker 19: it was an outrage introducing it still happened. And you

616
00:29:15,853 --> 00:29:19,293
Speaker 19: know Michael Hudson, he's an economs and said, you know,

617
00:29:19,413 --> 00:29:21,453
Speaker 19: deck gets written off. You know, so many people just

618
00:29:21,453 --> 00:29:24,573
Speaker 19: don't understand. You know, the banks create the money from

619
00:29:24,573 --> 00:29:29,053
Speaker 19: nowhere and it's user plays with donations and the speech

620
00:29:29,293 --> 00:29:31,053
Speaker 19: is how much money you have. And if you're a

621
00:29:31,053 --> 00:29:34,613
Speaker 19: party in Parliament you get more speech than if you're

622
00:29:34,693 --> 00:29:39,053
Speaker 19: someone who's not in parliament, and it's quite hard to

623
00:29:39,253 --> 00:29:42,213
Speaker 19: challenge in it. So I think we need single transferable

624
00:29:42,333 --> 00:29:45,213
Speaker 19: vote so you can decide, you know, whether they put

625
00:29:45,213 --> 00:29:49,533
Speaker 19: the party pet up or not you can vote for

626
00:29:49,573 --> 00:29:52,093
Speaker 19: someone else. That's that's the real issue is who you

627
00:29:52,093 --> 00:29:53,013
Speaker 19: were voting for.

628
00:29:53,613 --> 00:29:56,133
Speaker 3: So you're more sorry to jump in there, Peter, you're

629
00:29:56,133 --> 00:30:00,613
Speaker 3: more talking about Matt's wants of bringing back Foost pass

630
00:30:00,653 --> 00:30:03,333
Speaker 3: the post rather than the four year parliamentary term.

631
00:30:04,173 --> 00:30:06,933
Speaker 19: Well, I'll be happy for single transferable vote.

632
00:30:06,933 --> 00:30:07,933
Speaker 20: But because of.

633
00:30:07,893 --> 00:30:12,053
Speaker 19: The idea that New Zealand doers rely on royal commissions

634
00:30:12,053 --> 00:30:13,813
Speaker 19: that say m MP was the one to go, and

635
00:30:13,933 --> 00:30:16,613
Speaker 19: Jim Bolder said, well, if you choose m MP, we're

636
00:30:16,613 --> 00:30:19,573
Speaker 19: going to get give you twenty more MPs. So people

637
00:30:19,933 --> 00:30:22,213
Speaker 19: did what you know, politicians tell them not to do

638
00:30:22,253 --> 00:30:26,053
Speaker 19: something that's a guarantee for kiwis, they'll do it. And

639
00:30:26,053 --> 00:30:28,133
Speaker 19: it's just like David Singore saying, oh vote for a

640
00:30:28,133 --> 00:30:28,733
Speaker 19: four year term.

641
00:30:28,773 --> 00:30:29,573
Speaker 13: Will they wait?

642
00:30:31,413 --> 00:30:35,813
Speaker 19: It's the same deal, but single transferable vote means and

643
00:30:35,893 --> 00:30:38,653
Speaker 19: some elseils have it. You ranked the person you want

644
00:30:38,773 --> 00:30:41,333
Speaker 19: in order in number, whereas first past the post. You

645
00:30:41,413 --> 00:30:45,773
Speaker 19: might have two good candidates and if the other one

646
00:30:45,813 --> 00:30:47,653
Speaker 19: is on the list and gets in, that's good, but

647
00:30:47,733 --> 00:30:51,693
Speaker 19: if not, you know, it's an opportunity loss. I like

648
00:30:51,733 --> 00:30:55,013
Speaker 19: the free market, you know, competition at election, trying to

649
00:30:55,093 --> 00:30:58,173
Speaker 19: choose the best candidate regardless.

650
00:30:57,693 --> 00:31:00,333
Speaker 2: Of colors, so single faster a vote. It's a multi

651
00:31:00,413 --> 00:31:04,533
Speaker 2: winner electrical electoral electoral system in which each voter casts

652
00:31:04,533 --> 00:31:06,733
Speaker 2: a single vote in the form of a ranked ballot.

653
00:31:07,093 --> 00:31:09,613
Speaker 2: Voters have the option to rank candidates and their vote

654
00:31:09,613 --> 00:31:13,213
Speaker 2: may be transferred according to alternative preferences if their preferred

655
00:31:13,213 --> 00:31:17,013
Speaker 2: candidate is eliminated or elected with surplus votes, so that

656
00:31:17,053 --> 00:31:19,933
Speaker 2: their vote is used to elect someone they prefer over

657
00:31:20,013 --> 00:31:21,053
Speaker 2: others in the running.

658
00:31:21,493 --> 00:31:23,973
Speaker 3: They still do it in some of the local body elections.

659
00:31:24,013 --> 00:31:26,693
Speaker 3: I think for the health board down in Christs.

660
00:31:26,253 --> 00:31:28,053
Speaker 5: Is still health boards.

661
00:31:28,173 --> 00:31:30,293
Speaker 2: Yeah, no more health No more health boards.

662
00:31:30,573 --> 00:31:33,133
Speaker 3: What was it all health boards that had STV or

663
00:31:33,173 --> 00:31:34,893
Speaker 3: was it just specific.

664
00:31:36,093 --> 00:31:36,733
Speaker 11: Yeah?

665
00:31:36,853 --> 00:31:42,773
Speaker 19: So yeah, no. Things are getting worse economically speaking, and

666
00:31:43,333 --> 00:31:45,573
Speaker 19: I thought a lot of the voting age to five

667
00:31:45,653 --> 00:31:47,333
Speaker 19: to make up for the people in the rest home

668
00:31:47,813 --> 00:31:53,213
Speaker 19: whose votes may be collected. Because I remember when Ross Perro,

669
00:31:53,293 --> 00:31:56,653
Speaker 19: Bill Clinton and I can't remember who the Republican candidate,

670
00:31:56,693 --> 00:31:58,733
Speaker 19: they went to it kindergarten and then ask them who

671
00:31:58,733 --> 00:32:00,653
Speaker 19: they are going to vote for, and they got the

672
00:32:00,693 --> 00:32:04,933
Speaker 19: same MANswers that they get anywhere else. I thought that

673
00:32:05,053 --> 00:32:06,773
Speaker 19: was quite good, but At the end of the day,

674
00:32:06,813 --> 00:32:09,973
Speaker 19: money rules us. Regardless at which party you vote for,

675
00:32:10,093 --> 00:32:12,733
Speaker 19: they decide how much money to take or how much

676
00:32:12,773 --> 00:32:14,893
Speaker 19: money to give you, or how much money to spend.

677
00:32:14,893 --> 00:32:17,653
Speaker 19: It's all about the budget that that's really and the

678
00:32:17,733 --> 00:32:22,453
Speaker 19: laws and regardless of what flavor it is, that's still there.

679
00:32:22,453 --> 00:32:25,533
Speaker 19: And Michael Hudson said, you know, in ancient times, I

680
00:32:25,693 --> 00:32:29,213
Speaker 19: used to write off the debt, and Obama saved the

681
00:32:29,293 --> 00:32:33,453
Speaker 19: bankers over saving the householders who got the debt and

682
00:32:33,493 --> 00:32:37,653
Speaker 19: couldn't pay it to keep their house and alleging fortunately

683
00:32:38,093 --> 00:32:41,893
Speaker 19: loan situation. So that really the politicians are bought and

684
00:32:41,973 --> 00:32:47,973
Speaker 19: paid for with respect to donations and lobbying and propaganda

685
00:32:48,053 --> 00:32:52,013
Speaker 19: through whatever, you know. Education system you get doesn't really

686
00:32:52,093 --> 00:32:54,333
Speaker 19: teach you about the money system.

687
00:32:54,453 --> 00:32:55,813
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, thank you for you call Peter.

688
00:32:55,893 --> 00:32:57,613
Speaker 3: So he give a lot of threads there that Peter

689
00:32:57,853 --> 00:32:59,653
Speaker 3: was discussing. I mean they just go back to the

690
00:33:00,533 --> 00:33:01,213
Speaker 3: voting system.

691
00:33:01,253 --> 00:33:02,213
Speaker 2: Unpacked that for a minute.

692
00:33:02,293 --> 00:33:05,773
Speaker 3: Yeah, the voting system so STV. Honestly, when we had

693
00:33:05,973 --> 00:33:08,293
Speaker 3: health boards, I know it was single transferable vote.

694
00:33:09,453 --> 00:33:11,813
Speaker 2: Are people onto it enough to deal with that kind

695
00:33:11,813 --> 00:33:14,173
Speaker 2: of system? I mean you've got to get obviously, like

696
00:33:14,213 --> 00:33:17,573
Speaker 2: in my opinion, MP's the worst, absolute worst. Bring back

697
00:33:17,573 --> 00:33:18,813
Speaker 2: first past the post yep.

698
00:33:18,973 --> 00:33:21,733
Speaker 21: But you want a clear winer well, just because back then,

699
00:33:21,973 --> 00:33:24,253
Speaker 21: if you were say a you know you, you were

700
00:33:24,253 --> 00:33:26,453
Speaker 21: your MP for your electric you fought for your electorate

701
00:33:26,653 --> 00:33:29,053
Speaker 21: and you might argue within your party for something that's

702
00:33:29,093 --> 00:33:31,093
Speaker 21: really important for the place you are from.

703
00:33:31,333 --> 00:33:33,293
Speaker 2: So you'd go to your constituents, you talk to them,

704
00:33:33,333 --> 00:33:35,693
Speaker 2: and you'd come to apartment. With first past the post,

705
00:33:35,733 --> 00:33:38,133
Speaker 2: it's like you're just going up against the leaders. Everyone's

706
00:33:38,173 --> 00:33:41,973
Speaker 2: in line within the party and you just have Labor National.

707
00:33:42,013 --> 00:33:44,773
Speaker 2: They have their line. You don't have the guy that's

708
00:33:45,053 --> 00:33:47,533
Speaker 2: trekking up from from South to Needin to tell you

709
00:33:48,213 --> 00:33:50,133
Speaker 2: what the people from South to need and need.

710
00:33:50,413 --> 00:33:52,333
Speaker 3: I like the idea that things get done if it's

711
00:33:52,333 --> 00:33:54,373
Speaker 3: first past the post and you've only got one party

712
00:33:54,453 --> 00:33:56,333
Speaker 3: in government, then things get done.

713
00:33:57,133 --> 00:33:59,053
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I'll ever think about that and

714
00:33:59,093 --> 00:34:00,253
Speaker 2: come back with some more thoughts.

715
00:34:00,333 --> 00:34:05,213
Speaker 3: Very shortly it is fordeen to two, come.

716
00:34:05,053 --> 00:34:06,453
Speaker 4: And chat with the lads On.

717
00:34:08,413 --> 00:34:12,693
Speaker 1: And Taylor afternoons with the Volvo X ninety tick every box,

718
00:34:12,893 --> 00:34:15,333
Speaker 1: a seamless experience awaits news talks.

719
00:34:17,333 --> 00:34:20,693
Speaker 2: We're talking four year terms because ACT are going to

720
00:34:20,733 --> 00:34:25,293
Speaker 2: introduce a bill to discuss whether we should have four

721
00:34:25,373 --> 00:34:28,973
Speaker 2: year terms, a binding referendum for four years terms and

722
00:34:29,013 --> 00:34:32,213
Speaker 2: the next election. Your thoughts on this, Ben.

723
00:34:33,773 --> 00:34:41,293
Speaker 5: Well, first water, first time I've agreed with Act. Four

724
00:34:41,373 --> 00:34:44,293
Speaker 5: years is not enough. You look at China, they got

725
00:34:44,293 --> 00:34:47,692
Speaker 5: this four hundred year plan going on and playing.

726
00:34:50,773 --> 00:34:52,212
Speaker 22: But look we seem to do.

727
00:34:54,693 --> 00:34:56,453
Speaker 2: That's right, four hundred years.

728
00:34:56,493 --> 00:34:58,453
Speaker 3: I mean that is a hell of a long parliamentary term,

729
00:34:58,493 --> 00:34:59,453
Speaker 3: isn't it.

730
00:34:59,293 --> 00:35:01,573
Speaker 5: That is that is you know, we could take over

731
00:35:01,613 --> 00:35:05,253
Speaker 5: the world, you know, and look we don't because we

732
00:35:05,333 --> 00:35:08,732
Speaker 5: get a government and they have these pans, I don't

733
00:35:08,773 --> 00:35:11,453
Speaker 5: quite get there. And then then comes the next government

734
00:35:11,893 --> 00:35:15,653
Speaker 5: and undose those plans and tries to get implement their plans,

735
00:35:15,893 --> 00:35:18,373
Speaker 5: and then they don't quite get there. And this is

736
00:35:18,453 --> 00:35:22,172
Speaker 5: just going on ever since. Well you get first start

737
00:35:22,173 --> 00:35:25,933
Speaker 5: supposed you can't have three kings in one castle. Yeah,

738
00:35:26,133 --> 00:35:28,053
Speaker 5: and when my father in law comes over, you know,

739
00:35:28,133 --> 00:35:32,413
Speaker 5: it's just nuts, uh, And that's yeah, we get nowhere

740
00:35:32,453 --> 00:35:34,773
Speaker 5: doing that, but it needs to be longer.

741
00:35:35,013 --> 00:35:37,212
Speaker 2: I mean the idea, in the ideal world, you'd have

742
00:35:37,453 --> 00:35:41,373
Speaker 2: the perfect government of people that were smart, had a

743
00:35:41,413 --> 00:35:45,573
Speaker 2: good plan and weren't corrupt and weren't going to let

744
00:35:45,573 --> 00:35:48,133
Speaker 2: the power go to the head and don't start imprisoning

745
00:35:48,133 --> 00:35:51,213
Speaker 2: people and be hitting people. But it tends to go

746
00:35:51,333 --> 00:35:54,013
Speaker 2: that way, and you can see that in China now

747
00:35:54,053 --> 00:35:57,692
Speaker 2: with the Xijingping there's some pretty paranoid decisions getting made now.

748
00:35:58,253 --> 00:36:00,173
Speaker 2: It's it's interesting though. You look at Singapore with the

749
00:36:00,253 --> 00:36:03,053
Speaker 2: junta over there. They seem to make really good decisions.

750
00:36:03,093 --> 00:36:04,693
Speaker 2: But boy, but you don't want to drop it. You

751
00:36:04,693 --> 00:36:06,172
Speaker 2: don't want to you don't want to drop your gum

752
00:36:06,173 --> 00:36:08,293
Speaker 2: on the pavement. You don't want to break a law

753
00:36:08,373 --> 00:36:10,013
Speaker 2: in Singapore. But they seem to be They seem to

754
00:36:10,053 --> 00:36:11,413
Speaker 2: run their infrastructure very well.

755
00:36:11,493 --> 00:36:16,973
Speaker 3: They get held up as yeah, thank.

756
00:36:16,853 --> 00:36:17,613
Speaker 2: You very much, thank you.

757
00:36:18,493 --> 00:36:21,733
Speaker 3: And that is a fair argument that there's these big

758
00:36:21,773 --> 00:36:22,453
Speaker 3: things and.

759
00:36:22,493 --> 00:36:24,853
Speaker 2: The caller gets sick of us talking to him and leave.

760
00:36:25,213 --> 00:36:29,693
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no worries Ben. But yeah, the argument

761
00:36:29,733 --> 00:36:31,692
Speaker 3: that we don't get things done here because we've got

762
00:36:31,693 --> 00:36:35,253
Speaker 3: a short parliamentary term, so policy is put in place

763
00:36:35,293 --> 00:36:37,692
Speaker 3: and then somebody else gets elected and pushes that down.

764
00:36:37,693 --> 00:36:39,893
Speaker 3: But that's what referendums are for, right. If there's a

765
00:36:39,933 --> 00:36:42,732
Speaker 3: big decision, that's the can's been kicked down the road.

766
00:36:42,853 --> 00:36:44,893
Speaker 3: That is what a referendum should be for that you

767
00:36:44,933 --> 00:36:47,613
Speaker 3: put it out to the general population. Hey, do we

768
00:36:47,653 --> 00:36:49,973
Speaker 3: want to extend the age of retirement? Do we want

769
00:36:50,013 --> 00:36:52,573
Speaker 3: to extend it to a four year parliamentary term? Those

770
00:36:52,613 --> 00:36:56,013
Speaker 3: are big decisions that where as a country should be

771
00:36:56,053 --> 00:36:57,133
Speaker 3: making by a referendum.

772
00:36:57,413 --> 00:36:57,652
Speaker 5: Yeah.

773
00:36:57,733 --> 00:36:59,853
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm annoyed at the m MP referendum because

774
00:37:00,213 --> 00:37:02,973
Speaker 2: my big sister talked me into voting for m MP.

775
00:37:03,093 --> 00:37:04,773
Speaker 2: I didn't even know what it was, what it was

776
00:37:04,813 --> 00:37:07,053
Speaker 2: back then, and so I've got that sitting in my

777
00:37:07,373 --> 00:37:09,173
Speaker 2: I hate him MP. I think it's a terrible system.

778
00:37:09,453 --> 00:37:12,692
Speaker 2: And that's sitting because there was just a wave for it,

779
00:37:12,733 --> 00:37:14,533
Speaker 2: wasn't there. Well, what happened was we thought if a

780
00:37:14,733 --> 00:37:17,373
Speaker 2: first place of the post, what was happening was governments

781
00:37:17,573 --> 00:37:20,373
Speaker 2: which had a less of the popular vote were getting

782
00:37:20,373 --> 00:37:22,893
Speaker 2: in power due to you know, the numbers and different

783
00:37:22,893 --> 00:37:25,172
Speaker 2: electorates and such. So we thought MP would be a great,

784
00:37:25,213 --> 00:37:25,732
Speaker 2: great move.

785
00:37:25,813 --> 00:37:29,053
Speaker 3: And wasn't the question not really fit for purpose? It

786
00:37:29,093 --> 00:37:32,933
Speaker 3: was effectively, do you want to change MMP to lower

787
00:37:32,973 --> 00:37:34,173
Speaker 3: the three shold to four percent?

788
00:37:34,293 --> 00:37:36,533
Speaker 2: Or something? Wrong? Those lines? I mean, all these years later,

789
00:37:36,693 --> 00:37:39,133
Speaker 2: still most of us are two dumb to even understand MMP,

790
00:37:39,853 --> 00:37:41,573
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah right.

Speaker 23: Ben God came before me.

804
00:38:23,133 --> 00:38:24,692
Speaker 3: I know that you wouldn't get that with the first

805
00:38:24,733 --> 00:38:26,613
Speaker 3: part past the post system.

806
00:38:27,133 --> 00:38:30,933
Speaker 23: No, you wouldn't. You know, you definitely wouldn't. Anyway, it's

807
00:38:30,973 --> 00:38:35,253

00:38:46,413 --> 00:38:48,213
Speaker 3: Well, I make you go on.

812
00:38:49,053 --> 00:38:51,533
Speaker 2: You're making a lot of rules here, Beryl, I could have.

813
00:38:51,573 --> 00:38:54,213
Speaker 23: Said what I had to say, guys, just quickly. I

814
00:38:54,253 --> 00:38:58,333
Speaker 23: think a three year term should stay in because if

815
00:38:58,333 --> 00:39:02,253
Speaker 23: someone said a little bit before that, they can always

816
00:39:02,293 --> 00:39:05,573
Speaker 23: get voted back in. I don't blame your sympathy everything

817
00:39:06,173 --> 00:39:09,373
Speaker 23: I did vote here, but the sandy the country was

818
00:39:09,413 --> 00:39:12,933
Speaker 23: a disaster, and if you bring up England, I wouldn't

819
00:39:13,013 --> 00:39:16,212
Speaker 23: use England as a comparison. I've got family opens there

820
00:39:16,573 --> 00:39:20,173
Speaker 23: and at a sage year god they it's been absolutely

821
00:39:20,253 --> 00:39:25,613
Speaker 23: terribly policit, terrible politically in England between both parties. Actually,

822
00:39:25,813 --> 00:39:29,853
Speaker 23: so yes I'm for STZ and yes I am for

823
00:39:29,893 --> 00:39:34,373
Speaker 23: a three year, three year election whatever good.

Speaker 20: Yeah.

848
00:40:36,093 --> 00:40:37,613
Speaker 3: I got some of that love as well. I felt it.

849
00:40:37,813 --> 00:40:38,213
Speaker 3: I felt it.

850
00:40:38,253 --> 00:40:40,333
Speaker 2: You're part of it. You're one of the five million people.

851
00:40:40,693 --> 00:40:43,773
Speaker 3: You're a beautiful man, very generous. Right on to this topic,

852
00:40:43,973 --> 00:40:46,693
Speaker 3: which will be a good discussion. So Alex Turnbull, he

853
00:40:46,733 --> 00:40:50,053
Speaker 3: has hosted a huge outdoor party nestled in the beautiful

854
00:40:50,093 --> 00:40:54,693
Speaker 3: Kadrona valley, lush foothills each New Year. A lot of

855
00:40:54,733 --> 00:40:57,333
Speaker 3: people would know what it's called rhythm and alps. So

856
00:40:57,333 --> 00:41:00,053
Speaker 3: he's running for fifteen years, and over that fifteen years,

857
00:41:00,373 --> 00:41:04,053
Speaker 3: he says he's had approximately six to seven people arrested

858
00:41:04,093 --> 00:41:06,773
Speaker 3: over those fifteen years for getting a little bit out

859
00:41:06,813 --> 00:41:08,133
Speaker 3: of control behavior wise.

860
00:41:08,453 --> 00:41:10,652
Speaker 2: So that's safest. So you've got ten thousand people there,

861
00:41:10,653 --> 00:41:14,213
Speaker 2: which is a small town. Yeah, and so six rests

862
00:41:14,613 --> 00:41:18,373
Speaker 2: over fifteen years nothing that is good behavior. That means

863
00:41:18,373 --> 00:41:23,093
Speaker 2: that you were running a very safe, happy festival, absolutely,

864
00:41:23,093 --> 00:41:26,093
Speaker 2: and authorities should respect that. That you've shown that you've

865
00:41:26,093 --> 00:41:27,693
Speaker 2: got good governance. You think so.

866
00:41:27,893 --> 00:41:30,292
Speaker 3: But at the end of twenty twenty three, Turnbull found

867
00:41:30,333 --> 00:41:33,453
Speaker 3: himself at a district licensing committee hearing where police and

868
00:41:33,493 --> 00:41:37,053
Speaker 3: health authorities were doing something unusual, fighting his request to

869
00:41:37,133 --> 00:41:40,933
Speaker 3: sell punters for alcoholic drinks at a time they instantly

870
00:41:40,933 --> 00:41:44,133
Speaker 3: opposed it, says Turnbull. He went on to say that

871
00:41:44,133 --> 00:41:47,333
Speaker 3: that is a massive challenge because without alcohol sales, quite rightly,

872
00:41:47,413 --> 00:41:50,293
Speaker 3: Rhythm and Alps and many other festivals would not be profitable.

873
00:41:50,333 --> 00:41:52,773
Speaker 3: There's no way we could run it, absolutely no way.

874
00:41:52,973 --> 00:41:55,292
Speaker 3: He went on to say, Yeah, I think.

875
00:41:55,253 --> 00:41:59,013
Speaker 2: This is symptomatica of across the board. As I was

876
00:41:59,053 --> 00:42:01,333
Speaker 2: saying before, I went to a music festival recently and

877
00:42:01,333 --> 00:42:03,373
Speaker 2: they kept on telling me to take my sunglasses off.

878
00:42:03,373 --> 00:42:04,773
Speaker 2: So that was a new rule. They always come up

879
00:42:04,813 --> 00:42:07,853
Speaker 2: with these new rules to baby you. So I'm a

880
00:42:07,893 --> 00:42:11,533
Speaker 2: growing and I've got kids. I Am going up to

881
00:42:11,533 --> 00:42:13,652
Speaker 2: buy a drink and they're saying, you've got to take

882
00:42:13,653 --> 00:42:15,533
Speaker 2: your sunglasses off before you buy this drink. You're only

883
00:42:15,533 --> 00:42:17,573
Speaker 2: allowed to buy these many drinks. They don't trust you.

884
00:42:17,733 --> 00:42:19,013
Speaker 2: They think you're just going to go around the corner

885
00:42:19,013 --> 00:42:21,213
Speaker 2: and drink all four but beers. So what so what

886
00:42:21,253 --> 00:42:22,893
Speaker 2: if you did buy four drinks and when a drink

887
00:42:22,933 --> 00:42:25,453
Speaker 2: them the south or you're going back to share them

888
00:42:25,493 --> 00:42:28,732
Speaker 2: with people. We're adults. Stop treating us like children. If

889
00:42:29,053 --> 00:42:31,493
Speaker 2: you commit a crime, if you start behaving badly, that's

890
00:42:31,493 --> 00:42:34,053
Speaker 2: when you punish people. But this, I don't know how

891
00:42:34,053 --> 00:42:36,053
Speaker 2: we need to We've got to stop this because it

892
00:42:36,093 --> 00:42:38,133
Speaker 2: makes it really hard for people to do things and

893
00:42:38,213 --> 00:42:41,933
Speaker 2: festivals and New Zealanders getting together. It's so important. These

894
00:42:41,973 --> 00:42:45,173
Speaker 2: are the moments you remember in life. And these places

895
00:42:45,213 --> 00:42:46,733
Speaker 2: need to make money or else they can't do it.

896
00:42:46,733 --> 00:42:49,253
Speaker 2: They're not charities. And the one way they make money

897
00:42:49,373 --> 00:42:51,453
Speaker 2: is from the booze. And one thing that people want

898
00:42:51,453 --> 00:42:53,453
Speaker 2: to do when they're at these festivals is drink booze,

899
00:42:53,653 --> 00:42:55,893
Speaker 2: So stop treating us like children.

900
00:42:55,973 --> 00:42:58,692
Speaker 3: It's effectively litting to tell me to take my glasses off.

901
00:42:59,013 --> 00:42:59,933
Speaker 3: Were hot on that one.

902
00:43:00,333 --> 00:43:02,413
Speaker 2: We need to start shaming people that come up with rules.

903
00:43:02,453 --> 00:43:04,253
Speaker 2: If someone comes up with the rules like people have

904
00:43:04,293 --> 00:43:07,653
Speaker 2: to take off their sunglasses before they get a served,

905
00:43:07,973 --> 00:43:10,653
Speaker 2: we need to start calling them bosses. We need to

906
00:43:10,693 --> 00:43:15,693
Speaker 2: start doing you can handle them and having a few drinks,

907
00:43:15,733 --> 00:43:16,773
Speaker 2: you know, then we need to go back to that

908
00:43:16,853 --> 00:43:18,893
Speaker 2: kind of attitude to these people, a good public shaming.

909
00:43:18,973 --> 00:43:21,973
Speaker 3: I like it was the next question, sir, how many

910
00:43:22,013 --> 00:43:24,773
Speaker 3: of you had to drink over the course of today, Like,

911
00:43:24,893 --> 00:43:27,293
Speaker 3: none of your business at fifteen dozens.

912
00:43:27,733 --> 00:43:29,893
Speaker 2: It's just give me my beer. It's no business of yours.

913
00:43:29,933 --> 00:43:32,773
Speaker 2: What's on my eyes or what's been in my stomach,

914
00:43:32,933 --> 00:43:35,653
Speaker 2: that's absolutely none of your business. If I'm committing a crime,

915
00:43:36,053 --> 00:43:38,813
Speaker 2: then sure arrest me. If I start just running around

916
00:43:39,173 --> 00:43:42,293
Speaker 2: throwing haymakers, then sure arrest me. I mean, I'm not

917
00:43:42,333 --> 00:43:45,773
Speaker 2: even sure why we're not allowed to be drunk like.

918
00:43:45,973 --> 00:43:48,172
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're not causing any problems, they can

919
00:43:48,293 --> 00:43:49,973
Speaker 2: legislate the state of your mind.

920
00:43:50,813 --> 00:43:52,853
Speaker 3: I mean, there's something that's happened and I don't quite

921
00:43:52,933 --> 00:43:55,893
Speaker 3: understand it, but over the past eighteen months to two years,

922
00:43:55,973 --> 00:44:00,613
Speaker 3: these district licensing committee hearings are effectively zero alcohol.

923
00:44:00,653 --> 00:44:03,453
Speaker 2: They don't want alcohol at any event or anywhere.

924
00:44:03,973 --> 00:44:06,053
Speaker 3: What was the policy change that all of a sudden

925
00:44:06,093 --> 00:44:09,493
Speaker 3: police are so so empty alcohol. Yes, they've always had

926
00:44:09,493 --> 00:44:11,733
Speaker 3: a bit of a problem with it, you know, in

927
00:44:12,133 --> 00:44:14,533
Speaker 3: bars and all that stuff about when a bar can

928
00:44:14,533 --> 00:44:16,053
Speaker 3: close and when it can open, and the one door

929
00:44:16,093 --> 00:44:16,573
Speaker 3: policy and.

930
00:44:16,573 --> 00:44:17,533
Speaker 2: All that sort of a lava.

931
00:44:17,653 --> 00:44:20,253
Speaker 3: But something crazy has happened that all of a sudden,

932
00:44:20,293 --> 00:44:22,293
Speaker 3: what we have no alcohol anywhere?

933
00:44:22,333 --> 00:44:24,293
Speaker 2: And is the harm being done by alcohol in the

934
00:44:24,293 --> 00:44:26,933
Speaker 2: community from people that are going out having few drinks

935
00:44:26,933 --> 00:44:28,453
Speaker 2: at a festival? Is that where the harm is?

936
00:44:28,493 --> 00:44:28,613
Speaker 24: That?

937
00:44:28,733 --> 00:44:30,973
Speaker 2: Is that the cold face of problems in our society

938
00:44:30,973 --> 00:44:33,653
Speaker 2: around alcohol? I don't think so. When people are involved

939
00:44:33,693 --> 00:44:36,413
Speaker 2: in positive things off and over the holiday break and

940
00:44:36,493 --> 00:44:38,732
Speaker 2: people have gone out on a limb, they've risked money,

941
00:44:38,773 --> 00:44:40,813
Speaker 2: they've put together this thing together, they've got these bands,

942
00:44:40,853 --> 00:44:42,773
Speaker 2: they've got performance to come in, so that they've got

943
00:44:42,813 --> 00:44:44,893
Speaker 2: a risk. People go, they're having a good time. They

944
00:44:44,893 --> 00:44:46,652
Speaker 2: want to drink andy, want to have a dance. Is

945
00:44:46,693 --> 00:44:50,373
Speaker 2: that where you want to screw people down, hard working

946
00:44:50,413 --> 00:44:52,573
Speaker 2: New Zealanders that are letting off some steam. Is that

947
00:44:52,613 --> 00:44:54,973
Speaker 2: the people that you want to belittle, but telling them

948
00:44:55,013 --> 00:44:57,893
Speaker 2: to get their glasses off and act. Look, if we

949
00:44:57,933 --> 00:44:59,853
Speaker 2: treat people like babies, the lack like babies.

950
00:44:59,613 --> 00:45:01,893
Speaker 3: Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty, I love the

951
00:45:01,933 --> 00:45:04,453
Speaker 3: passion from you man nineteen ninety ten.

952
00:45:04,613 --> 00:45:06,413
Speaker 2: To be clear, I'm not angry at the security guards

953
00:45:06,413 --> 00:45:07,893
Speaker 2: that do it or the people that are working at

954
00:45:07,933 --> 00:45:10,172
Speaker 2: the bar. If they tell me to take my sunglasses off,

955
00:45:10,173 --> 00:45:13,133
Speaker 2: I'll do it because they're just minimum wage people just

956
00:45:13,173 --> 00:45:15,333
Speaker 2: getting their job done. It's not their fault. The people

957
00:45:15,333 --> 00:45:17,732
Speaker 2: we need to shame are the people that are making

958
00:45:17,733 --> 00:45:19,933
Speaker 2: these decisions that are at these meetings. It's letting the

959
00:45:19,933 --> 00:45:20,573
Speaker 2: the kids win.

960
00:45:20,773 --> 00:45:23,212
Speaker 3: And there's dick kids anywhere you go. But I saw

961
00:45:23,253 --> 00:45:26,013
Speaker 3: they were trying to ban somebody having a beer at

962
00:45:26,053 --> 00:45:27,453
Speaker 3: a beach in the middle of the day. If you

963
00:45:27,493 --> 00:45:28,973
Speaker 3: want to go down there and have a picnic with

964
00:45:29,013 --> 00:45:31,133
Speaker 3: your family and have one can of beer because it's

965
00:45:31,133 --> 00:45:33,533
Speaker 3: a Saturday afternoon, why can't you do that? Why do

966
00:45:33,573 --> 00:45:35,773
Speaker 3: you let the dick kids win. We're letting the scaredy

967
00:45:35,813 --> 00:45:37,213
Speaker 3: cats and the chicken lickings.

968
00:45:37,453 --> 00:45:39,493
Speaker 2: Decide how we live our lives. And if you do

969
00:45:39,613 --> 00:45:42,533
Speaker 2: that then nothing will ever happen and our country will

970
00:45:42,573 --> 00:45:45,693
Speaker 2: slowly grind to a very safe halt.

971
00:45:47,933 --> 00:45:50,373
Speaker 3: Ten eighty is the number to call. Ninety two is

972
00:45:50,413 --> 00:45:55,613
Speaker 3: the text number. It's twelve fast too.

973
00:45:54,213 --> 00:45:58,212
Speaker 1: Your new home of afternoon Talk Matt and Taylor Afternoons

974
00:45:58,253 --> 00:46:02,213
Speaker 1: with the Volvo XC ninety turn every journey into something special.

975
00:46:02,333 --> 00:46:05,373
Speaker 4: Call Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty News Talk said, be.

976
00:46:06,973 --> 00:46:10,252
Speaker 2: It is a quarter past two, lads. I'm Irish living

977
00:46:10,293 --> 00:46:12,213
Speaker 2: here for years and it feels like we live in

978
00:46:12,213 --> 00:46:17,013
Speaker 2: a nursing home. It's ficking madness. If e c ki

979
00:46:17,173 --> 00:46:19,213
Speaker 2: n he spelt it okay, the Irish way as well,

980
00:46:19,253 --> 00:46:23,053
Speaker 2: I did. Yeah, very good. Case you thought I swore

981
00:46:23,093 --> 00:46:25,933
Speaker 2: I did not. Yeah, well there's something to that.

982
00:46:26,213 --> 00:46:29,533
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're from somewhere like Ireland, and I'm

983
00:46:29,573 --> 00:46:31,893
Speaker 3: not saying or Irish, you know a bunch of drunks.

984
00:46:31,893 --> 00:46:35,652
Speaker 3: But Europe or the UK, their alcohol, the way that

985
00:46:35,653 --> 00:46:37,973
Speaker 3: they deal with alcohol was a lot more relaxed than

986
00:46:37,973 --> 00:46:39,693
Speaker 3: how we do it here, right, I mean.

987
00:46:40,293 --> 00:46:41,573
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I was talking about this to you

988
00:46:41,693 --> 00:46:44,253
Speaker 2: last year. How I was walking along the canals in

989
00:46:44,253 --> 00:46:46,333
Speaker 2: London and my sister goes to me. This was last year,

990
00:46:46,733 --> 00:46:49,133
Speaker 2: and my sister goes to me, should we get a pint?

991
00:46:49,373 --> 00:46:50,813
Speaker 2: And I said, oh, yeah, but it's nice out. I

992
00:46:50,813 --> 00:46:52,213
Speaker 2: don't really go into gues and I we'll just go

993
00:46:52,293 --> 00:46:54,692
Speaker 2: into the pub by a pint each and they put

994
00:46:54,693 --> 00:46:56,973
Speaker 2: it in a plastic cup so you don't steal the

995
00:46:57,013 --> 00:46:58,933
Speaker 2: point last and then you just can leave. You need

996
00:46:59,053 --> 00:47:02,252
Speaker 2: to take away pint from a pub. And she's lived

997
00:47:02,253 --> 00:47:04,213
Speaker 2: over there for twenty years, so for her and I

998
00:47:04,253 --> 00:47:05,893
Speaker 2: was going, wow, are we allowed to leave? I was

999
00:47:05,933 --> 00:47:07,692
Speaker 2: trying to hide it. I couldn't believe it. He goes,

1000
00:47:07,893 --> 00:47:09,373
Speaker 2: what why Why wouldn't you be able to buy a

1001
00:47:09,413 --> 00:47:11,053
Speaker 2: pint and walk out of a pub? And that's it.

1002
00:47:11,093 --> 00:47:13,413
Speaker 3: And if we did that here, everybody would freakat having

1003
00:47:13,413 --> 00:47:15,013
Speaker 3: a beer at a McDonald's for example.

1004
00:47:15,093 --> 00:47:18,533
Speaker 2: When we first started having alcohol, are at cinemas freaked out.

1005
00:47:18,573 --> 00:47:21,453
Speaker 2: I always judge people that start their text with wow, Wow,

1006
00:47:21,973 --> 00:47:24,573
Speaker 2: you guys really have no idea about alcohol harm in

1007
00:47:24,613 --> 00:47:28,213
Speaker 2: the community or events. The number of assaults and hospitalizations

1008
00:47:28,213 --> 00:47:29,933
Speaker 2: that come from large events. Really, because we're just talking

1009
00:47:29,973 --> 00:47:32,333
Speaker 2: about this one and there's only been six arrests in

1010
00:47:32,453 --> 00:47:35,933
Speaker 2: fifteen years. Now, ten thousand people are at the festival.

1011
00:47:36,133 --> 00:47:39,973
Speaker 3: And festivals more than any other I think you know

1012
00:47:40,013 --> 00:47:43,172
Speaker 3: they know what they're doing in terms of someone who's

1013
00:47:43,213 --> 00:47:44,973
Speaker 3: had too much to drink or is making a ticket

1014
00:47:45,013 --> 00:47:48,692
Speaker 3: to themselves. They have absolutely processes in place to get

1015
00:47:48,773 --> 00:47:49,573
Speaker 3: rid of those dickets.

1016
00:47:50,133 --> 00:47:50,613
Speaker 2: And that's it.

1017
00:47:50,653 --> 00:47:52,373
Speaker 3: If you want to if you want to buy four

1018
00:47:52,453 --> 00:47:54,973
Speaker 3: drinks at at the front of the bar and you

1019
00:47:54,973 --> 00:47:56,893
Speaker 3: want to drink all those four drinks yourself, as long

1020
00:47:56,933 --> 00:47:59,853
Speaker 3: as you're not making a dicky yourself and causing harm

1021
00:47:59,893 --> 00:48:01,093
Speaker 3: to other people, then you'll be fine.

1022
00:48:01,133 --> 00:48:03,252
Speaker 2: Well you should be final. Do you know who never

1023
00:48:03,293 --> 00:48:05,533
Speaker 2: assaults anyone at a music festival? Who?

1024
00:48:05,693 --> 00:48:05,773
Speaker 12: Me?

1025
00:48:06,333 --> 00:48:11,453
Speaker 2: Exactly? Ray thoughts on this on festivals and the crackdown

1026
00:48:11,693 --> 00:48:12,813
Speaker 2: on serving alcohol.

1027
00:48:14,293 --> 00:48:17,613
Speaker 7: So guy, I completely agree with what you're saying. I

1028
00:48:17,653 --> 00:48:20,652
Speaker 7: love my festivals and my festivals. I love to push

1029
00:48:20,733 --> 00:48:22,933
Speaker 7: the boat out, have a couple of bears, have a

1030
00:48:22,973 --> 00:48:25,133
Speaker 7: bit of a party, and I just want to correct

1031
00:48:25,133 --> 00:48:27,613
Speaker 7: that last season new text in But they don't know

1032
00:48:27,613 --> 00:48:30,813
Speaker 7: what they're talking about. So of all the flaws I've

1033
00:48:30,853 --> 00:48:33,813
Speaker 7: been to and all the woman's I've been to, I've

1034
00:48:33,853 --> 00:48:37,293
Speaker 7: never seen people get aggressive. I've certainly never seen people

1035
00:48:37,373 --> 00:48:42,133
Speaker 7: get taken out for fighting. I would suggest that might

1036
00:48:42,173 --> 00:48:46,173
Speaker 7: happen occasionally at younger events and I'm thinking probably Rhythm

1037
00:48:46,253 --> 00:48:49,692
Speaker 7: and Vines, But at events where there are adults, as

1038
00:48:49,693 --> 00:48:53,333
Speaker 7: an adult and like predominantly people over about age thirty,

1039
00:48:53,853 --> 00:48:57,533
Speaker 7: you will not see people getting too drunk or too

1040
00:48:57,613 --> 00:49:00,453
Speaker 7: out of it or creating problems for any of the

1041
00:49:00,493 --> 00:49:02,692
Speaker 7: other festival goers. And you know what they are really

1042
00:49:02,693 --> 00:49:07,373
Speaker 7: interesting is like the festivals such as On such as

1043
00:49:07,653 --> 00:49:12,293
Speaker 7: kerry Burn and ex Shipwreck and Export used to be

1044
00:49:12,453 --> 00:49:16,453
Speaker 7: full buyo. They used to have no restrictions on people

1045
00:49:16,453 --> 00:49:19,013
Speaker 7: and just trusted the people would do the right thing

1046
00:49:19,293 --> 00:49:22,413
Speaker 7: and not create havoc and cast other people. And the

1047
00:49:22,533 --> 00:49:26,213
Speaker 7: vestials which still do that now, which is On and Cuban,

1048
00:49:26,493 --> 00:49:28,652
Speaker 7: they just say their problems, like the police don't need

1049
00:49:28,693 --> 00:49:32,293
Speaker 7: to go there because people are you know, being violent

1050
00:49:32,493 --> 00:49:34,453
Speaker 7: or being aggressive or even being two out of it.

1051
00:49:34,573 --> 00:49:37,493
Speaker 7: And I think the more rules we put on adults

1052
00:49:38,053 --> 00:49:42,813
Speaker 7: about restricting their behavior at vessels and parties, it's just

1053
00:49:42,893 --> 00:49:46,413
Speaker 7: like walderism. It's just it's just it's just it's not

1054
00:49:46,573 --> 00:49:49,933
Speaker 7: it's a lot of its interests of allowing adults to

1055
00:49:49,973 --> 00:49:51,813
Speaker 7: be responsible for themselves.

1056
00:49:52,533 --> 00:49:54,652
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not. As I was saying before, this isn't

1057
00:49:54,653 --> 00:49:57,973
Speaker 2: the cult face of alcohol harm in our community festivals

1058
00:49:58,013 --> 00:50:01,893
Speaker 2: where people going along to enjoy music, they're very happy places.

1059
00:50:02,373 --> 00:50:05,692
Speaker 2: They're not. They're not. I'm with you, Ray, I've never

1060
00:50:05,733 --> 00:50:08,613
Speaker 2: seen a fight at a festival. I've never seen. I've

1061
00:50:08,613 --> 00:50:13,173
Speaker 2: seen people get annoyed about someone standing on their picnic blanket.

1062
00:50:13,453 --> 00:50:16,493
Speaker 2: That's about as agro as I've ever seen it at

1063
00:50:16,493 --> 00:50:19,373
Speaker 2: a festival. And I remember in Auckland there used to

1064
00:50:19,373 --> 00:50:21,413
Speaker 2: be the summer series. It was in Albert Park and

1065
00:50:21,453 --> 00:50:25,373
Speaker 2: you could just bring in. You could bring in a

1066
00:50:25,453 --> 00:50:28,773
Speaker 2: chili bin and have you drink and watch music. It

1067
00:50:28,813 --> 00:50:31,773
Speaker 2: never seemed to be a major drama. Society didn't collapse.

1068
00:50:31,813 --> 00:50:32,013
Speaker 14: It was.

1069
00:50:33,973 --> 00:50:36,772
Speaker 15: Thanks you guys.

1070
00:50:36,853 --> 00:50:41,773
Speaker 7: Know where the majority of violence relates to alcohol happens, right,

1071
00:50:41,813 --> 00:50:44,813
Speaker 7: It happens at home. It doesn't happen in bars and

1072
00:50:44,893 --> 00:50:49,013
Speaker 7: my cousins family, doesn't happen at festivals. Unfortunately, the majority

1073
00:50:49,093 --> 00:50:52,212
Speaker 7: of alcohol related violence happens on the home.

1074
00:50:53,773 --> 00:50:58,813
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's definitely not these friendly fun places

1075
00:50:58,853 --> 00:51:00,652
Speaker 2: where people let off steam, they have a little bit

1076
00:51:00,653 --> 00:51:03,653
Speaker 2: of dance. They're there to have it, have you experienced

1077
00:51:03,733 --> 00:51:05,893
Speaker 2: ray what I experienced at a festival. They told me

1078
00:51:05,893 --> 00:51:08,093
Speaker 2: to take my sunglasses off before I bought drinks.

1079
00:51:09,533 --> 00:51:12,373
Speaker 7: I've never heard of that from my fast. I feel

1080
00:51:12,373 --> 00:51:14,413
Speaker 7: like I feel like I'm about the same age, and

1081
00:51:15,053 --> 00:51:17,133
Speaker 7: I would just I just don't know what i'd say.

1082
00:51:17,653 --> 00:51:19,213
Speaker 7: I'd probably make you serious.

1083
00:51:19,493 --> 00:51:21,613
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I was really confused when I was asked.

1084
00:51:21,613 --> 00:51:24,853
Speaker 2: But I'm really conscious not to be addic to people

1085
00:51:24,933 --> 00:51:26,893
Speaker 2: that have just doing their job. You know what I mean.

1086
00:51:26,973 --> 00:51:29,053
Speaker 2: It's you've got to we've got to be a dick

1087
00:51:29,173 --> 00:51:30,933
Speaker 2: to the people above that, the people that come up

1088
00:51:30,933 --> 00:51:35,613
Speaker 2: with these layers of stupid rules. Because people don't push back,

1089
00:51:35,653 --> 00:51:38,613
Speaker 2: that's the thing they go harm. So now I've come

1090
00:51:38,653 --> 00:51:40,652
Speaker 2: up with this new one, and if anyone anyone pushes back,

1091
00:51:40,693 --> 00:51:41,973
Speaker 2: they say, well, we won't get you. We won't, you

1092
00:51:41,973 --> 00:51:43,453
Speaker 2: won't be able to do your festival, you'll go out

1093
00:51:43,453 --> 00:51:47,053
Speaker 2: of business. Unless you agree to our rules, you won't.

1094
00:51:47,093 --> 00:51:48,733
Speaker 2: We won't give you your license. So they come up

1095
00:51:48,733 --> 00:51:53,373
Speaker 2: with something as ridiculous as making adults who live in

1096
00:51:53,413 --> 00:51:56,613
Speaker 2: this country, who pay taxes, who have kids, in my case,

1097
00:51:57,013 --> 00:52:00,573
Speaker 2: like children. Yeah. Yeah, anyway, it sounds sounds like we're

1098
00:52:00,573 --> 00:52:01,173
Speaker 2: on the same page.

1099
00:52:02,453 --> 00:52:05,613
Speaker 3: Yeah, cheers, Ray, thank you very much so much for

1100
00:52:05,653 --> 00:52:08,652
Speaker 3: your call. Yeah, and again, I just can't understand. These

1101
00:52:08,693 --> 00:52:11,973
Speaker 3: licensing committees have existed for a long time. Why is

1102
00:52:12,013 --> 00:52:13,733
Speaker 3: it over the last couple of years they seem to

1103
00:52:13,773 --> 00:52:15,053
Speaker 3: want to shut everything down?

1104
00:52:15,093 --> 00:52:16,653
Speaker 2: What happened? What was that policy?

1105
00:52:16,733 --> 00:52:20,493
Speaker 3: What has gone on with the police in particular that

1106
00:52:20,613 --> 00:52:23,053
Speaker 3: they want to have all these events alcohol free? I

1107
00:52:23,093 --> 00:52:25,413
Speaker 3: don't understand it because there hasn't been a big uptick

1108
00:52:25,733 --> 00:52:26,613
Speaker 3: in these festivals.

1109
00:52:27,333 --> 00:52:30,853
Speaker 2: I just think we're becoming a society where safety always

1110
00:52:30,893 --> 00:52:33,373
Speaker 2: wins the argument. So you can point to a potential

1111
00:52:33,373 --> 00:52:35,453
Speaker 2: harm that could happen, and you can list off some

1112
00:52:35,573 --> 00:52:37,453
Speaker 2: terrible things that happen, and there's no denying that terrible

1113
00:52:37,453 --> 00:52:40,053
Speaker 2: things happen on alcohol. I totally agree with that. That's fine.

1114
00:52:40,253 --> 00:52:42,293
Speaker 2: But you can list those things off and then you

1115
00:52:42,413 --> 00:52:45,373
Speaker 2: just shut down the conversation, and then you threaten people's

1116
00:52:45,693 --> 00:52:47,973
Speaker 2: license to sell alcohol at the event, which means that

1117
00:52:47,973 --> 00:52:50,293
Speaker 2: they could not run the event, and it just wouldn't happen. Right,

1118
00:52:50,333 --> 00:52:52,093
Speaker 2: So you've got these people up, but you know you're

1119
00:52:52,133 --> 00:52:54,573
Speaker 2: holding them hostage. Really, so we need to shame back

1120
00:52:54,573 --> 00:52:56,973
Speaker 2: the other way there used to be if someone said

1121
00:52:56,973 --> 00:53:02,373
Speaker 2: something like that, you'd go, didn'ts O. Come on, mate,

1122
00:53:02,453 --> 00:53:05,333
Speaker 2: blame grow up. You know, we need to shame back

1123
00:53:05,413 --> 00:53:06,493
Speaker 2: these people. Absolutely.

1124
00:53:06,613 --> 00:53:09,172
Speaker 3: Now I probably un fairly through under the bus there

1125
00:53:09,173 --> 00:53:11,693
Speaker 3: they're part of the district Licensing committee. But I actually

1126
00:53:11,733 --> 00:53:14,493
Speaker 3: think it's the health authorities. It is the health authorities

1127
00:53:14,533 --> 00:53:17,173
Speaker 3: that are ones who are saying not can't have any alcohol.

1128
00:53:17,333 --> 00:53:19,333
Speaker 3: But if you know, and you've been a part of

1129
00:53:19,333 --> 00:53:23,013
Speaker 3: these committees, or you're in the health system or certainly

1130
00:53:23,093 --> 00:53:23,453
Speaker 3: part of.

1131
00:53:23,373 --> 00:53:24,933
Speaker 2: The police, love to hear from you. Oh, one hundred

1132
00:53:24,933 --> 00:53:26,333
Speaker 2: and eighty ten eighty, what's going on? I love the

1133
00:53:26,333 --> 00:53:29,292
Speaker 2: idea that you can't buy you four beers at once,

1134
00:53:29,693 --> 00:53:31,773
Speaker 2: and yet you can go to a bottle store and

1135
00:53:31,813 --> 00:53:34,172
Speaker 2: buy twelve one, one, two fives of gin if you want.

1136
00:53:34,613 --> 00:53:36,773
Speaker 2: So when you're in the happy, positive place where someone's

1137
00:53:36,813 --> 00:53:39,453
Speaker 2: put together a festival, you can't buy four drinks.

1138
00:53:39,693 --> 00:53:41,573
Speaker 3: Yep, exactly twenty two past two.

1139
00:53:41,733 --> 00:53:49,333
Speaker 1: Back very shortly, Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons. Call

1140
00:53:49,493 --> 00:53:52,373
Speaker 1: oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty on news Talk ZV.

1141
00:53:52,693 --> 00:53:58,493
Speaker 3: Good afternoon. We're talking about the district licensing committees effectively

1142
00:53:58,533 --> 00:54:02,133
Speaker 3: trying to shut down festivals, or at least opposing them

1143
00:54:02,213 --> 00:54:05,973
Speaker 3: serving alcohol, which would in turn mean the end of

1144
00:54:06,013 --> 00:54:06,973
Speaker 3: festivals around.

1145
00:54:06,733 --> 00:54:08,573
Speaker 2: The country, making it harder and harder for them to

1146
00:54:08,573 --> 00:54:10,453
Speaker 2: sell olco at the festivals, and coming up with new

1147
00:54:10,693 --> 00:54:16,733
Speaker 2: and increasingly strict and bizarre rules every year. Lance, Welcome

1148
00:54:16,773 --> 00:54:18,733
Speaker 2: to the show. Who do you think is responsible for

1149
00:54:18,773 --> 00:54:19,373
Speaker 2: this situation?

1150
00:54:20,573 --> 00:54:26,093
Speaker 13: Well, there's three groups. Really, We at one stage as

1151
00:54:26,093 --> 00:54:29,853
Speaker 13: a company had the most will We applied for and

1152
00:54:29,973 --> 00:54:33,213
Speaker 13: received the most temporary liquor licenses. So I think I

1153
00:54:33,293 --> 00:54:36,973
Speaker 13: know this thing inside out. You've got three players. One

1154
00:54:37,053 --> 00:54:40,893
Speaker 13: is the council, the next one is the police guy

1155
00:54:40,933 --> 00:54:44,053
Speaker 13: who will be the local liquor guy for the police.

1156
00:54:44,093 --> 00:54:47,853
Speaker 13: And then you've got the medical Officer of Health. And

1157
00:54:47,893 --> 00:54:50,493
Speaker 13: the problem you have is every single territory in New

1158
00:54:50,573 --> 00:54:54,013
Speaker 13: Zealand it will be you'll get a different result. So

1159
00:54:54,493 --> 00:54:57,453
Speaker 13: just as an example, you might get the police guy

1160
00:54:57,493 --> 00:55:01,333
Speaker 13: in Hamilton might be dreadful to deal with, or I

1161
00:55:01,373 --> 00:55:04,253
Speaker 13: can tell you for a fact, the medical Officer of

1162
00:55:04,293 --> 00:55:11,213
Speaker 13: Health for Wellington is terrible. And really the Medical Offices

1163
00:55:11,453 --> 00:55:14,373
Speaker 13: of Health got involved probably about sort of ten years

1164
00:55:14,373 --> 00:55:17,293
Speaker 13: ago when they put this whole harm minimalization thing in

1165
00:55:18,133 --> 00:55:23,212
Speaker 13: and their point of view is you should basically be

1166
00:55:23,613 --> 00:55:26,893
Speaker 13: one or two drinks under what you would drink if

1167
00:55:26,893 --> 00:55:29,053
Speaker 13: you were going to drive, And that's even if you're

1168
00:55:29,053 --> 00:55:32,293
Speaker 13: going to walk or bus so what, And that's basically

1169
00:55:32,293 --> 00:55:35,013
Speaker 13: where they want you. Anything over that they consider it

1170
00:55:35,093 --> 00:55:39,533
Speaker 13: to be intoxication, and intoxication is harm. And that's basically

1171
00:55:39,653 --> 00:55:42,533
Speaker 13: it now as for the people on the front line

1172
00:55:42,573 --> 00:55:46,613
Speaker 13: are actually serving you, just to give you an idea,

1173
00:55:46,733 --> 00:55:49,493
Speaker 13: but used to cost us about thirty eight dollars to

1174
00:55:49,733 --> 00:55:52,293
Speaker 13: get a liquor license. Nowadays, if it's what they call

1175
00:55:52,373 --> 00:55:55,373
Speaker 13: a large event, which is over fifteen hundred people, it's

1176
00:55:55,413 --> 00:55:59,013
Speaker 13: going to cost you seven hundred and eighty bucks to

1177
00:55:59,013 --> 00:56:02,533
Speaker 13: put on the event. And the guys that you're dealing

1178
00:56:02,533 --> 00:56:04,772
Speaker 13: with on the front line, the reason they're asking you

1179
00:56:04,773 --> 00:56:07,693
Speaker 13: your sunglasses or whatever is if they serve you and

1180
00:56:07,733 --> 00:56:10,653
Speaker 13: you're intoxic catered, they will get a ten grand fine,

1181
00:56:11,213 --> 00:56:13,573
Speaker 13: and then the organizer of the event will get a

1182
00:56:13,573 --> 00:56:15,333
Speaker 13: ten grand fight. And the person who's got a liquor

1183
00:56:15,413 --> 00:56:18,172
Speaker 13: license to the event because you're just serving so we'll

1184
00:56:18,173 --> 00:56:21,692
Speaker 13: get a ten grand fight. So you know, if you're

1185
00:56:21,693 --> 00:56:24,053
Speaker 13: doing an events in your profit might be you know,

1186
00:56:24,853 --> 00:56:27,173
Speaker 13: ten grand and you're thirty grand in the hole for

1187
00:56:27,253 --> 00:56:29,013
Speaker 13: serving somebody who's over the limit? What are you going

1188
00:56:29,053 --> 00:56:29,253
Speaker 13: to do?

1189
00:56:29,933 --> 00:56:33,213
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's rough, But I'd questioned the whole philosophy

1190
00:56:33,693 --> 00:56:36,893
Speaker 2: on that. What's the what's the problem if I'm over

1191
00:56:36,933 --> 00:56:39,813
Speaker 2: the limit? Well, and I'm not, and i'm not I'm

1192
00:56:39,893 --> 00:56:42,973
Speaker 2: not driving because I never would, and and I'm not

1193
00:56:43,213 --> 00:56:45,493
Speaker 2: fighting and I'm doing anything, So why are you legislating

1194
00:56:45,733 --> 00:56:46,653
Speaker 2: the state of my brain?

1195
00:56:47,613 --> 00:56:50,413
Speaker 13: Look, I agree with you one hundred percent. One of

1196
00:56:50,653 --> 00:56:53,333
Speaker 13: one of the biggest years, we did sixty sixty what

1197
00:56:53,373 --> 00:56:55,253
Speaker 13: we would call major events. In one year. You just

1198
00:56:55,293 --> 00:56:58,373
Speaker 13: have two crews going around, you know, with either sponsor

1199
00:56:58,413 --> 00:57:00,853
Speaker 13: it or do it ourselves or whatever. Didn't see a

1200
00:57:00,853 --> 00:57:03,933
Speaker 13: single fight. You'd see people, you know, who have had

1201
00:57:03,973 --> 00:57:05,732
Speaker 13: too much, and they might fall asleep in the sun

1202
00:57:05,773 --> 00:57:08,773
Speaker 13: and get a wicked case of sunburn. But you know,

1203
00:57:08,893 --> 00:57:12,413
Speaker 13: I think I think it was I think they got

1204
00:57:12,413 --> 00:57:15,613
Speaker 13: the mixed right about ten years ago, right, and then

1205
00:57:15,653 --> 00:57:17,333
Speaker 13: they just went too far. And when was the last

1206
00:57:17,333 --> 00:57:20,533
Speaker 13: time you saw a blues bruise and barbecues? Yeah, you

1207
00:57:20,573 --> 00:57:22,453
Speaker 13: know what I mean. And they were bringing events and

1208
00:57:22,493 --> 00:57:25,213
Speaker 13: they were huge fundraisers for the our essays in the

1209
00:57:25,533 --> 00:57:29,653
Speaker 13: Gaze Club and they all just got too hard, too hard,

1210
00:57:29,773 --> 00:57:32,453
Speaker 13: too hard, and you're right, you know, give it another

1211
00:57:32,493 --> 00:57:36,013
Speaker 13: couple of years the way it's going and there won't

1212
00:57:36,053 --> 00:57:38,973
Speaker 13: be any events and all that sort of fundraising stuff disappears.

1213
00:57:39,133 --> 00:57:40,733
Speaker 2: So and you've got this thing where you've got people

1214
00:57:40,773 --> 00:57:43,173
Speaker 2: that want to do good stuff. They want to create something,

1215
00:57:43,333 --> 00:57:45,693
Speaker 2: they run on a festival, they want to run an event,

1216
00:57:45,773 --> 00:57:47,293
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of work in that. There's a

1217
00:57:47,333 --> 00:57:50,573
Speaker 2: lot of hurdles right now. Those people have to expend

1218
00:57:50,773 --> 00:57:55,493
Speaker 2: so much energy to fulfill the you know, the requirements

1219
00:57:55,573 --> 00:57:57,813
Speaker 2: of people that aren't really in line with the thinking

1220
00:57:57,853 --> 00:58:00,653
Speaker 2: of most New Zealanders. Because these festivals are popular. People

1221
00:58:00,693 --> 00:58:02,533
Speaker 2: go along and they like to have a drink. So

1222
00:58:03,013 --> 00:58:04,653
Speaker 2: it's almost like we need to have a jury service

1223
00:58:04,693 --> 00:58:07,093
Speaker 2: where you get the where people are put on these

1224
00:58:07,333 --> 00:58:09,693
Speaker 2: these boards that make the decisions that are in align

1225
00:58:10,173 --> 00:58:13,053
Speaker 2: with how most people think about New Zealand rather than people.

1226
00:58:13,453 --> 00:58:15,213
Speaker 2: And look, I get it. If you're a police officer,

1227
00:58:15,293 --> 00:58:18,013
Speaker 2: you would see the absolute worst of the worst. And

1228
00:58:18,093 --> 00:58:20,613
Speaker 2: I understand why they would have that view of alcohol.

1229
00:58:20,853 --> 00:58:23,453
Speaker 2: I totally get that they see people in terrible positions.

1230
00:58:23,773 --> 00:58:26,213
Speaker 2: Having said that, I'm friends with some police officers and

1231
00:58:26,253 --> 00:58:29,573
Speaker 2: then they like a drink, but I imagine they get pretty

1232
00:58:29,573 --> 00:58:30,373
Speaker 2: steemed themselves.

1233
00:58:30,933 --> 00:58:35,053
Speaker 3: Yeah, and same with the health authority.

1234
00:58:35,093 --> 00:58:39,373
Speaker 2: What did you call the.

1235
00:58:37,613 --> 00:58:39,093
Speaker 13: Political officer of health.

1236
00:58:38,893 --> 00:58:39,933
Speaker 2: Medical officer of Health.

1237
00:58:39,973 --> 00:58:41,813
Speaker 3: I get that as well, because they would see the

1238
00:58:41,853 --> 00:58:43,493
Speaker 3: worst of the worst coming through the A and E

1239
00:58:43,613 --> 00:58:45,933
Speaker 3: departments and how much that's costing the system, et cetera,

1240
00:58:46,013 --> 00:58:46,453
Speaker 3: et cetera.

1241
00:58:46,813 --> 00:58:47,493
Speaker 2: But then to.

1242
00:58:47,533 --> 00:58:51,133
Speaker 3: Say, you know, you're okay buying one beer at Rhythm

1243
00:58:51,133 --> 00:58:53,573
Speaker 3: and Alps, but you can't have four, it just makes

1244
00:58:53,613 --> 00:58:54,573
Speaker 3: no logical sense.

1245
00:58:55,173 --> 00:58:58,053
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, look, you know, we see it and

1246
00:58:58,093 --> 00:59:01,293
Speaker 13: we try to explain. You know, we're trying to get

1247
00:59:01,333 --> 00:59:03,453
Speaker 13: a local license for a Wellington event at the moment,

1248
00:59:03,533 --> 00:59:07,493
Speaker 13: and it's crazy. You know, we've been doing this event

1249
00:59:07,533 --> 00:59:11,013
Speaker 13: for thirty years, trying to apply for this one. The

1250
00:59:11,093 --> 00:59:13,773
Speaker 13: two people who are involved from the council point of

1251
00:59:13,813 --> 00:59:15,573
Speaker 13: view are brand new and one of them is literally

1252
00:59:15,613 --> 00:59:18,453
Speaker 13: straight out of UNI. And the questions we're being asked

1253
00:59:18,453 --> 00:59:21,533
Speaker 13: that had thirty ridiculous. But you know, you have to

1254
00:59:21,573 --> 00:59:24,733
Speaker 13: try and explain to these people. Look that they're waited

1255
00:59:24,733 --> 00:59:26,653
Speaker 13: and queue for forty minutes to get to you to

1256
00:59:26,693 --> 00:59:30,093
Speaker 13: get a bear by the time. And you know, some

1257
00:59:30,133 --> 00:59:32,253
Speaker 13: of these guys have got kids, so you know, someone

1258
00:59:32,333 --> 00:59:34,733
Speaker 13: sitting down looking after the kids, somebody else is in

1259
00:59:34,773 --> 00:59:37,253
Speaker 13: a queue. You know, you're telling them they can't take

1260
00:59:37,293 --> 00:59:38,333
Speaker 13: a drink back to the partner.

1261
00:59:38,573 --> 00:59:40,853
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're saying you don't believe them. So they say, well, look,

1262
00:59:40,893 --> 00:59:42,493
Speaker 2: I've got I've got some people back there. I don't

1263
00:59:42,493 --> 00:59:45,853
Speaker 2: believe you're taking it to people. That's not your thing

1264
00:59:45,933 --> 00:59:47,053
Speaker 2: to decide, you know.

1265
00:59:47,253 --> 00:59:49,893
Speaker 13: Yeah, And the trouble is us being the guys serving.

1266
00:59:49,933 --> 00:59:52,013
Speaker 13: We can see you. You're only sitting twenty feet away.

1267
00:59:52,533 --> 00:59:56,053
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean. But they bring then

1268
00:59:56,093 --> 00:59:59,413
Speaker 2: they bring in rules where they are you're only allowed

1269
00:59:59,493 --> 01:00:02,853
Speaker 2: so many places to serve alcohol within the event that

1270
01:00:02,893 --> 01:00:05,053
Speaker 2: you're putting on. So the queues are huge. And at

1271
01:00:05,053 --> 01:00:07,813
Speaker 2: the same time, you're saying that people can't get four

1272
01:00:07,853 --> 01:00:11,933
Speaker 2: beers to take back to their friends or their family.

1273
01:00:12,413 --> 01:00:14,413
Speaker 2: So basically you're asking people to be in a queue

1274
01:00:14,533 --> 01:00:18,453
Speaker 2: all day to Yeah.

1275
01:00:18,533 --> 01:00:22,293
Speaker 13: So we were years ago. I showed them the band system,

1276
01:00:22,533 --> 01:00:24,893
Speaker 13: you know, where you have multiple bands on, right, and

1277
01:00:25,373 --> 01:00:27,773
Speaker 13: the idea is uhould be passing the buck back to

1278
01:00:28,013 --> 01:00:30,813
Speaker 13: the actual the individual who's drinking, right, So you have

1279
01:00:30,853 --> 01:00:33,053
Speaker 13: a band on which is okay, this guy's okay to drink,

1280
01:00:33,093 --> 01:00:34,893
Speaker 13: you know, he's of the right age. That's one band,

1281
01:00:34,933 --> 01:00:37,053
Speaker 13: and he's another band, which is he's okay to drink. Now,

1282
01:00:37,173 --> 01:00:40,333
Speaker 13: somebody gets absolutely tanked and is making a ta to themselves.

1283
01:00:41,213 --> 01:00:43,253
Speaker 13: You know, that's up to security or the guys who

1284
01:00:43,293 --> 01:00:45,573
Speaker 13: assureing the drink to cut that band off so he

1285
01:00:45,613 --> 01:00:48,373
Speaker 13: can't he cannot drink until he's sobered up enough and

1286
01:00:48,413 --> 01:00:50,093
Speaker 13: he can go to the Saint John's into a security

1287
01:00:50,173 --> 01:00:53,213
Speaker 13: temp or whatever and persuade them that, you know, he's

1288
01:00:53,213 --> 01:00:55,973
Speaker 13: sobered up or had something to eat or whatever. Right,

1289
01:00:56,613 --> 01:01:00,053
Speaker 13: so it's back to their personal responsibility. But they don't

1290
01:01:00,053 --> 01:01:02,413
Speaker 13: want to do that. And so you know, instead of

1291
01:01:02,773 --> 01:01:05,413
Speaker 13: maybe three or four guys at the festival who get

1292
01:01:05,413 --> 01:01:07,853
Speaker 13: carried away who would do so at home or do

1293
01:01:07,893 --> 01:01:11,573
Speaker 13: so in the anyway, the rest of the festival goers.

1294
01:01:11,373 --> 01:01:16,533
Speaker 2: Are exactly because you can, you can, you can come

1295
01:01:16,613 --> 01:01:20,133
Speaker 2: up with an example that's bad. Therefore everyone is the

1296
01:01:20,173 --> 01:01:23,253
Speaker 2: same as that person when it's just it's just not

1297
01:01:23,853 --> 01:01:24,293
Speaker 2: the case.

1298
01:01:24,933 --> 01:01:27,293
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that same person you go to a liquor

1299
01:01:27,293 --> 01:01:31,133
Speaker 3: store and buy twenty boxes a goon, no problem, no question.

1300
01:01:32,253 --> 01:01:34,933
Speaker 13: Well, to give you an idea of how how pitty

1301
01:01:34,933 --> 01:01:37,093
Speaker 13: you get to like the one we're talking about with

1302
01:01:37,093 --> 01:01:39,573
Speaker 13: Wellington at the moment, we're talking about doing little examples.

1303
01:01:40,613 --> 01:01:43,133
Speaker 13: We're talking three mills in a place for cup and

1304
01:01:43,173 --> 01:01:45,573
Speaker 13: we're being asked to put in writing and guarantee that

1305
01:01:45,653 --> 01:01:48,293
Speaker 13: we won't do more than four servings in an hour

1306
01:01:50,173 --> 01:01:51,693
Speaker 13: that together, it's not even a single shot.

1307
01:01:52,213 --> 01:01:55,453
Speaker 2: Well that's so they're basically running this idea that alcohol

1308
01:01:55,573 --> 01:01:57,893
Speaker 2: is inherently bad. But if you go to a music

1309
01:01:57,973 --> 01:02:00,773
Speaker 2: festival and you look back at the crowds of happy

1310
01:02:00,973 --> 01:02:05,373
Speaker 2: New Zealanders jumping up and dancing in the sun, if

1311
01:02:05,413 --> 01:02:07,533
Speaker 2: you look at that and you don't see that there's

1312
01:02:07,533 --> 01:02:11,213
Speaker 2: some joy in that, and there's some positive positivity in that,

1313
01:02:11,453 --> 01:02:14,213
Speaker 2: then you shouldn't be the person that's making the decisions

1314
01:02:14,333 --> 01:02:16,893
Speaker 2: around the licensing.

1315
01:02:17,653 --> 01:02:17,933
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1316
01:02:17,973 --> 01:02:20,093
Speaker 13: Absolutely, And I mean most of the guys who are

1317
01:02:20,213 --> 01:02:23,533
Speaker 13: running the festivals are really professional at what they're doing.

1318
01:02:23,733 --> 01:02:26,853
Speaker 13: They've got, you know, hundreds of thousands, it's not millions

1319
01:02:26,893 --> 01:02:31,573
Speaker 13: of dollars invested. They don't want everybody there trolley. Yeah,

1320
01:02:31,613 --> 01:02:32,333
Speaker 13: it doesn't work for.

1321
01:02:32,333 --> 01:02:35,413
Speaker 2: Them, No, you know, I understand that's more work that's

1322
01:02:35,453 --> 01:02:38,533
Speaker 2: punishing punishing for them. Yeah, hey, thank you so much

1323
01:02:38,573 --> 01:02:41,933
Speaker 2: for your call. Lance, really appreciate that great call. Good

1324
01:02:42,013 --> 01:02:44,973
Speaker 2: luck with doing things and fighting against things to make

1325
01:02:45,013 --> 01:02:47,973
Speaker 2: things happen, you know, fighting against all this craziness to

1326
01:02:47,973 --> 01:02:49,093
Speaker 2: make things happen for people.

1327
01:02:49,533 --> 01:02:52,253
Speaker 3: And I mean I should have realized, but when Lance

1328
01:02:52,253 --> 01:02:54,333
Speaker 3: sid when was the last time you went to a

1329
01:02:54,333 --> 01:02:57,373
Speaker 3: blues bruise and barbecues but seafest and Kai Quarter which

1330
01:02:57,413 --> 01:03:00,493
Speaker 3: they touched many years ago because it was too hard

1331
01:03:00,533 --> 01:03:03,573
Speaker 3: getting past the licensing committee. I mean there's multiple events

1332
01:03:03,613 --> 01:03:06,573
Speaker 3: that now I think about it, have just gone being

1333
01:03:06,653 --> 01:03:10,653
Speaker 3: Kai Bosh, which is a mess upset to the community

1334
01:03:10,653 --> 01:03:12,093
Speaker 3: that they were held because.

1335
01:03:11,733 --> 01:03:15,293
Speaker 2: Of these licensing committees. Yeah, anyway, all right, you're right. Oh,

1336
01:03:15,333 --> 01:03:17,013
Speaker 2: e one hundred and eighty ten eighty. Do you disagree

1337
01:03:17,013 --> 01:03:19,653
Speaker 2: with us? Because generally speaking, I'm just looking at the

1338
01:03:19,653 --> 01:03:21,973
Speaker 2: text machine, it's got to be ninety percent of people

1339
01:03:22,013 --> 01:03:25,173
Speaker 2: texting three that agree with us. There's a few people

Speaker 2: that a stay in the text with wow, wow.

1341
01:03:28,213 --> 01:03:31,373

01:03:31,453 --> 01:03:34,333
Speaker 3: someone who's worked as an adder as a medic at events,

1343
01:03:34,333 --> 01:03:35,933
Speaker 3: so that we great to chat to that person.

Speaker 2: There's coming up. Okay, to see if we can get

1345
01:03:37,533 --> 01:03:43,653
Speaker 2: the opposing opinion. It airs twenty six to three US talks.

1346
01:03:43,693 --> 01:03:46,733
Speaker 14: It'd be headlines with blue bubble tax these it's no

1368
01:04:59,613 --> 01:05:02,133
Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Royleen. It is twenty two to

1369
01:05:02,213 --> 01:05:06,213
Speaker 3: three and we're talking about the district licensing committees coming

1370
01:05:06,213 --> 01:05:09,053
Speaker 3: down pretty hard on festivals and of e in general.

1371
01:05:09,253 --> 01:05:13,133
Speaker 2: Yeah, someone says, we do want to stop alcohol, which

1372
01:05:13,173 --> 01:05:15,293
Speaker 2: is legal events, but drugs that are legal, we want

1373
01:05:15,293 --> 01:05:18,413
Speaker 2: to test for them so you don't get harmed. That's interesting.

1374
01:05:18,453 --> 01:05:20,853
Speaker 2: One from Trevor. A lot of people texting through this

1375
01:05:20,893 --> 01:05:23,613
Speaker 2: one about about the Wellington Seven. Wellington's seven closed down

1376
01:05:23,653 --> 01:05:25,773
Speaker 2: after John Campbell did the show on the Drunk People.

1377
01:05:26,013 --> 01:05:28,253
Speaker 2: I've never forgiven him for this. John Campbell used to

1378
01:05:28,293 --> 01:05:30,653
Speaker 2: do that a lot, doing Campy Life. If they didn't

1379
01:05:30,653 --> 01:05:32,013
Speaker 2: have an idea for a story, they'd just go and

1380
01:05:32,013 --> 01:05:34,573
Speaker 2: film drunk people and shame them and try and act

1381
01:05:34,613 --> 01:05:37,293
Speaker 2: like the whole world was like that. They remember they

1382
01:05:37,293 --> 01:05:39,653
Speaker 2: went down to Queen Street, they'd go to the they'd

1383
01:05:39,693 --> 01:05:42,373
Speaker 2: go to the races and Christ Church cup and show.

1384
01:05:42,893 --> 01:05:47,333
Speaker 2: They'd go to the Sevens just to just voyous voyeuristically

1385
01:05:47,373 --> 01:05:49,373
Speaker 2: look at the most drunk people and act like that's

1386
01:05:49,413 --> 01:05:50,133
Speaker 2: how everyone was.

1387
01:05:50,213 --> 01:05:51,613
Speaker 3: And that was the end of the sevens, wasn't it?

1388
01:05:51,653 --> 01:05:53,893
Speaker 3: When they tried to go family friendly as they called it,

1389
01:05:53,933 --> 01:05:54,293
Speaker 3: that was it.

1390
01:05:54,293 --> 01:05:56,493
Speaker 2: It was done. Dalliport Wine and Food Festival was a

1391
01:05:56,533 --> 01:05:58,853
Speaker 2: great day out for family and friends. Event now no

1392
01:05:58,933 --> 01:06:01,893
Speaker 2: longer on due to red tape and no council support.

1393
01:06:03,013 --> 01:06:05,453
Speaker 2: Hey guys, it's not just the alcohol laws. It's everything,

1394
01:06:05,493 --> 01:06:07,693
Speaker 2: the traffic management, the health and safety. There's nothing they

1395
01:06:07,693 --> 01:06:10,973
Speaker 2: haven't put their fingers into. That was a weird snort, Yeah,

1396
01:06:10,973 --> 01:06:14,573
Speaker 2: what was That's not for I wouldn't have snorted like that.

1397
01:06:14,613 --> 01:06:15,333
Speaker 20: I liked it.

1398
01:06:17,453 --> 01:06:20,453
Speaker 2: There's nothing they haven't put their fingers into. All of this.

1399
01:06:21,093 --> 01:06:24,213
Speaker 2: All of this makes a huge expense for anybody trying

1400
01:06:24,253 --> 01:06:26,613
Speaker 2: to organize a simple festival. That's the thing. You just

1401
01:06:26,653 --> 01:06:29,013
Speaker 2: make it harder and harder and harder. So they've got

1402
01:06:29,053 --> 01:06:30,733
Speaker 2: to deal with the traffic management, they've got to deal

1403
01:06:30,773 --> 01:06:35,173
Speaker 2: with the changing rules around alcohol, and you just lack

1404
01:06:35,213 --> 01:06:37,613
Speaker 2: of this amount. So basically, to put on a festival

1405
01:06:37,693 --> 01:06:40,253
Speaker 2: or an event, you just have to be swimming upstream

1406
01:06:40,453 --> 01:06:42,893
Speaker 2: so hard. And that's before you even deal with the

1407
01:06:42,933 --> 01:06:46,373
Speaker 2: actual basics of the logistics of running a festival and

1408
01:06:46,413 --> 01:06:49,613
Speaker 2: getting the artists there and actually putting the thing on.

1409
01:06:49,933 --> 01:06:52,253
Speaker 2: You've got to You've got to deal with this craziness.

1410
01:06:52,253 --> 01:06:55,253
Speaker 2: There should just be blanket rules and you don't have

1411
01:06:55,293 --> 01:06:57,293
Speaker 2: to You don't have to invent the wheel for each festival.

1412
01:06:57,333 --> 01:06:58,813
Speaker 2: This is what you have for a festival. You can

1413
01:06:58,853 --> 01:07:01,013
Speaker 2: sell drinks, you can do this, you can do that,

1414
01:07:01,373 --> 01:07:03,293
Speaker 2: and just go They should They shouldn't have to deal

1415
01:07:03,533 --> 01:07:05,933
Speaker 2: individually and ask individually for each thing.

1416
01:07:06,013 --> 01:07:08,173
Speaker 3: You should run for Medical officer of health of news

1417
01:07:08,333 --> 01:07:10,613
Speaker 3: Ill and Matt. I think it'd go well in that role.

1418
01:07:10,613 --> 01:07:13,453
Speaker 3: Now we mentioned before the headlines a medic has given

1419
01:07:13,533 --> 01:07:16,733
Speaker 3: us a call and he has attended several events. He's

1420
01:07:16,733 --> 01:07:18,773
Speaker 3: on his way to one now and his name is Mike.

1421
01:07:19,453 --> 01:07:21,093
Speaker 2: Mike, welcome to the show. Your thoughts on this. I

1422
01:07:21,093 --> 01:07:23,093
Speaker 2: guess you've been on the front line of people that

1423
01:07:23,133 --> 01:07:24,013
Speaker 2: have had a couple.

1424
01:07:25,213 --> 01:07:28,373
Speaker 12: Once or twice over a year. Here definitely couple of

1425
01:07:28,373 --> 01:07:33,413
Speaker 12: them to imports over time and down on average, we

1426
01:07:33,453 --> 01:07:37,733
Speaker 12: would probish about five to six percent of patron for

1427
01:07:38,573 --> 01:07:42,773
Speaker 12: people that we treat for intoxication quite often time toxico

1428
01:07:43,333 --> 01:07:46,173
Speaker 12: system medically there's enough a wee can merinically, they'll go

1429
01:07:46,253 --> 01:07:49,533
Speaker 12: to a little safety's own and help them sober up

1430
01:07:49,533 --> 01:07:52,533
Speaker 12: and then taxis sit from that. It's most common. It's

1431
01:07:52,573 --> 01:07:59,373
Speaker 12: more booboos and ours. The creational drugs and alcohol is

1432
01:07:59,533 --> 01:08:03,333
Speaker 12: very very low on what we used to treat, and

1433
01:08:03,693 --> 01:08:06,093
Speaker 12: some of the festivals that we do posted the alcohols

1434
01:08:06,293 --> 01:08:07,933
Speaker 12: like a license in. Police would come in and check

1435
01:08:07,973 --> 01:08:09,853
Speaker 12: on us and have a chat and see what we're

1436
01:08:09,853 --> 01:08:12,253
Speaker 12: dealing them. And nine times out of ten, I'd say

1437
01:08:12,533 --> 01:08:14,933
Speaker 12: I actually quite supportive as to how the event was

1438
01:08:14,933 --> 01:08:19,093
Speaker 12: going due to the lack of drunk people. I find

1439
01:08:19,173 --> 01:08:24,093
Speaker 12: really interesting but large mentioned belt people being over the

1440
01:08:24,133 --> 01:08:25,772
Speaker 12: limit and under the limits. I was actually at a

1441
01:08:25,812 --> 01:08:29,572
Speaker 12: sponsored a few years ago. My security company were walking

1442
01:08:29,612 --> 01:08:32,293
Speaker 12: around with Brish testing units and if a person was

1443
01:08:32,372 --> 01:08:36,093
Speaker 12: over the precastly legal limit for driving, I scored off

1444
01:08:36,612 --> 01:08:40,213
Speaker 12: out of the premises because our class to be intoxicated. Yes,

1445
01:08:40,333 --> 01:08:41,893
Speaker 12: I'd had a couple of dregs and they're having a

1446
01:08:41,893 --> 01:08:45,092
Speaker 12: good time. They weren't acting stupid. That's what happened to them,

1447
01:08:45,173 --> 01:08:46,052
Speaker 12: and that is crazy.

1448
01:08:46,253 --> 01:08:49,173
Speaker 2: I mean, that's insane. If you've got the level of

1449
01:08:49,372 --> 01:08:54,012
Speaker 2: alcohol in your system for walking, it's very different. It's

1450
01:08:54,093 --> 01:08:56,173
Speaker 2: very hard to do a lot of damage when you're

1451
01:08:56,173 --> 01:08:59,093
Speaker 2: just walking around. Yeah, you know the idea that you

1452
01:08:59,093 --> 01:09:02,852
Speaker 2: would run the driving alcohol limit on people just walking around,

1453
01:09:02,893 --> 01:09:04,853
Speaker 2: that's pure insanity.

1454
01:09:05,692 --> 01:09:09,372
Speaker 12: Why I actually asked the organizers and security got me offs.

1455
01:09:09,532 --> 01:09:12,253
Speaker 12: It's these machines calibrated or what are they not just

1456
01:09:12,333 --> 01:09:16,333
Speaker 12: cheat machines have brought from j car and we're organizing,

1457
01:09:16,492 --> 01:09:19,572
Speaker 12: said I have an universal tapman and stopped it. There

1458
01:09:19,612 --> 01:09:22,852
Speaker 12: have been twenty, maybe thirty people it's caught it off

1459
01:09:22,853 --> 01:09:27,133
Speaker 12: for property because of it. They having a good time

1460
01:09:27,173 --> 01:09:29,532
Speaker 12: and this was a putty cruise the concept. But yeah,

1461
01:09:29,532 --> 01:09:29,972
Speaker 12: it's like.

1462
01:09:30,253 --> 01:09:34,972
Speaker 2: We don't see we've still it's actually it's actually cruel.

1463
01:09:35,013 --> 01:09:36,973
Speaker 2: They think that they are being the good guys, but

1464
01:09:37,013 --> 01:09:39,133
Speaker 2: they're actually the bad guys in the situation. And the

1465
01:09:39,133 --> 01:09:42,732
Speaker 2: other thing you bring up, Mike around illegal drugs. So

1466
01:09:42,853 --> 01:09:45,293
Speaker 2: kids now know that alcohol is a very difficult thing

1467
01:09:45,333 --> 01:09:47,972
Speaker 2: to get and it's complicated. It's actually easier for them

1468
01:09:47,973 --> 01:09:51,652
Speaker 2: to get mdm A or the drugs that they can

1469
01:09:51,692 --> 01:09:54,253
Speaker 2: take before they go in. Yeah, so so you might

1470
01:09:54,333 --> 01:09:56,932
Speaker 2: you might you might have shut down their drinking of alcohol,

1471
01:09:57,013 --> 01:10:01,732
Speaker 2: but the kids are going to get wasted somehow. Yeah, exactly, exactly, well, classics.

1472
01:10:01,853 --> 01:10:04,133
Speaker 12: At one festival that we to do a lot of

1473
01:10:05,372 --> 01:10:08,532
Speaker 12: the Free Day Festival nine. The first sight have a

1474
01:10:08,532 --> 01:10:11,093
Speaker 12: different geys and they had fund The second night would

1475
01:10:11,133 --> 01:10:14,532
Speaker 12: be the big drugs that we were doing multiple ods

1476
01:10:14,652 --> 01:10:17,492
Speaker 12: and a drunk people and in the last night was

1477
01:10:17,612 --> 01:10:19,652
Speaker 12: a little bit of a mixture of both. But yeah,

1478
01:10:19,933 --> 01:10:24,852
Speaker 12: similarly the glugs that are more prominent and the alcohol.

1479
01:10:25,093 --> 01:10:26,933
Speaker 3: But the fact that you know you're there as a

1480
01:10:26,973 --> 01:10:29,452
Speaker 3: medic mic at these festivals, and that's you know, that's

1481
01:10:29,492 --> 01:10:32,053
Speaker 3: a big point there that festivals have security guards, they've

1482
01:10:32,053 --> 01:10:35,652
Speaker 3: got medics, they've got people watching out for someone who

1483
01:10:35,772 --> 01:10:37,772
Speaker 3: might get into trouble for having a bit too much.

1484
01:10:37,853 --> 01:10:41,652
Speaker 3: That is a far safer environment than you know, then

1485
01:10:41,692 --> 01:10:43,412
Speaker 3: going into a liquor store and getting a couple of

1486
01:10:43,412 --> 01:10:45,452
Speaker 3: bottles of whiskey and god knows where you're going to

1487
01:10:45,492 --> 01:10:46,213
Speaker 3: go and drink that.

1488
01:10:46,532 --> 01:10:49,372
Speaker 12: Well, some of constituency as a classic one dis recently

1489
01:10:50,532 --> 01:10:54,053
Speaker 12: we're a medical temps. They had nurses running the call

1490
01:10:54,133 --> 01:10:56,693
Speaker 12: the drunk tent make it easier, but it was the

1491
01:10:57,253 --> 01:10:59,492
Speaker 12: you know, if you keep an armed people. I needed

1492
01:10:59,532 --> 01:11:01,732
Speaker 12: to be a medical assistance that come next. Nice, but

1493
01:11:02,173 --> 01:11:05,532
Speaker 12: they had all support and on one of the days,

1494
01:11:05,732 --> 01:11:08,093
Speaker 12: the entire time, all we had was forty people.

1495
01:11:11,133 --> 01:11:13,492
Speaker 2: Exactly. Hey, thank you so much for your call, Mike

1496
01:11:13,532 --> 01:11:16,852
Speaker 2: and your insights at the cold face of a problem

1497
01:11:16,893 --> 01:11:18,612
Speaker 2: that doesn't really seem to exist. Yeah.

1498
01:11:19,093 --> 01:11:21,532
Speaker 3: Wait, one hundred eighty and eighty great to hear from

1499
01:11:21,532 --> 01:11:23,412
Speaker 3: a medic on the ground. And as he said, you

1500
01:11:23,412 --> 01:11:26,293
Speaker 3: know what was it four people out of six and

1501
01:11:26,333 --> 01:11:29,093
Speaker 3: a half thousand that they treated for maybe even a

1502
01:11:29,093 --> 01:11:33,053
Speaker 3: little bit too much alcohol. Nine was the text number.

1503
01:11:33,093 --> 01:11:35,293
Speaker 2: It's funny after I pointed out that a lot of

1504
01:11:35,293 --> 01:11:37,932
Speaker 2: people say, you know, the really judgment mental people put

1505
01:11:37,933 --> 01:11:39,812
Speaker 2: a wow at the start of the text. Wow, you

1506
01:11:39,853 --> 01:11:42,612
Speaker 2: guys need to grow up. Wow. Now everyone's trolling me

1507
01:11:42,652 --> 01:11:44,372
Speaker 2: by putting wow at the start of the text. You

1508
01:11:44,452 --> 01:11:45,293
Speaker 2: did that to yourself?

1509
01:11:46,293 --> 01:11:46,612
Speaker 16: Wow.

1510
01:11:47,013 --> 01:11:47,492
Speaker 2: Wow.

1511
01:11:48,053 --> 01:11:50,372
Speaker 3: It is a quarter to three beg very shortly.

1512
01:11:52,412 --> 01:11:56,053
Speaker 1: A fresh take on Talkback Matt and Taylor Afternoons with

1513
01:11:56,173 --> 01:11:59,932
Speaker 1: the Volvo XC ninety turn every journey into something special.

1514
01:12:00,093 --> 01:12:04,492
Speaker 1: Have your say on eight hundred eighty eight News TALKB.

1515
01:12:04,772 --> 01:12:08,732
Speaker 2: News Talk ZB. Good afternoon, Rod, Welcome to the show,

1516
01:12:08,812 --> 01:12:12,932
Speaker 2: your thoughts on licensing around festivals and such.

1517
01:12:14,612 --> 01:12:19,932
Speaker 25: Realm Matt and Tyler epic shows blows smoke up your

1518
01:12:19,933 --> 01:12:29,253
Speaker 25: earth being here lots of festivals and lots of concerts.

1519
01:12:28,853 --> 01:12:32,933
Speaker 20: Over the years, being an old bugger, But really.

1520
01:12:32,612 --> 01:12:38,573
Speaker 25: It's it's it's Cognian and what was it competence difference.

1521
01:12:38,973 --> 01:12:40,852
Speaker 16: I mean, people go to.

1522
01:12:42,372 --> 01:12:46,372
Speaker 25: Concerts and festivals to get a bit of joy, you know,

1523
01:12:46,572 --> 01:12:54,053
Speaker 25: and and joy off often involves having a drink and

1524
01:12:54,133 --> 01:12:57,252
Speaker 25: you know, having a yahoo. So I think it's really

1525
01:12:57,532 --> 01:13:01,692
Speaker 25: bizarre that they want to stop people going to these

1526
01:13:02,013 --> 01:13:08,932
Speaker 25: events and you know, not having a drink or maybe

1527
01:13:08,973 --> 01:13:12,372
Speaker 25: having one or two and leaving it at that.

1528
01:13:13,173 --> 01:13:14,852
Speaker 20: Like you guys are saying, it's a sort of a

1529
01:13:15,133 --> 01:13:17,652
Speaker 20: many state sort of thing.

1530
01:13:17,772 --> 01:13:19,532
Speaker 25: I mean, look at all the people that go to

1531
01:13:19,652 --> 01:13:25,372
Speaker 25: festivals and dropping acid and taking MDMA. I mean, that

1532
01:13:25,612 --> 01:13:29,812
Speaker 25: is the stuff they should be looking at and setting

1533
01:13:29,893 --> 01:13:34,892
Speaker 25: up places for people to you know, test whatever weird

1534
01:13:35,053 --> 01:13:36,972
Speaker 25: substance they're going to take.

1535
01:13:39,772 --> 01:13:42,012
Speaker 2: It's interesting what you say Rod about you know, people

1536
01:13:42,053 --> 01:13:45,213
Speaker 2: coming together and having having fun. So that is a

1537
01:13:45,253 --> 01:13:49,173
Speaker 2: sort of social cohesion in itself. So if we lose

1538
01:13:49,173 --> 01:13:51,053
Speaker 2: all these events because they're too hard to put on.

1539
01:13:51,133 --> 01:13:54,372
Speaker 2: Then we lose a lot as a society because coming

1540
01:13:54,452 --> 01:13:57,372
Speaker 2: together in large groups of different people from all walks

1541
01:13:57,412 --> 01:13:59,372
Speaker 2: of life to go to festivals, to go to these things,

1542
01:13:59,692 --> 01:14:03,012
Speaker 2: that is, that is great for people loving their country

1543
01:14:03,013 --> 01:14:06,612
Speaker 2: and loving their fellow citizens. So there is for sure

1544
01:14:06,692 --> 01:14:09,333
Speaker 2: there's a damage society them down. You know, this is

1545
01:14:09,372 --> 01:14:11,253
Speaker 2: a damage society by making it too hard for people

1546
01:14:11,293 --> 01:14:11,973
Speaker 2: to put these things on.

1547
01:14:13,933 --> 01:14:18,732
Speaker 20: You've nutshelled it, you know, really it's quite bizarre.

1548
01:14:19,253 --> 01:14:24,052
Speaker 25: I mean, people are not going to stop taking drugs

1549
01:14:24,173 --> 01:14:25,293
Speaker 25: or drinking.

1550
01:14:24,973 --> 01:14:26,893
Speaker 20: Alcohol when they go to festivals.

1551
01:14:27,612 --> 01:14:29,093
Speaker 25: That's what humans do.

1552
01:14:30,893 --> 01:14:32,932
Speaker 3: All right, and that's it. You know, when you talk

1553
01:14:32,973 --> 01:14:36,492
Speaker 3: about alcohol, everyone always focuses on the negative sides of alcohol,

1554
01:14:36,492 --> 01:14:38,812
Speaker 3: but you never hear about positives. And clearly there are

1555
01:14:38,933 --> 01:14:42,012
Speaker 3: positives of alcohol, as you say, social cohesion, the fact

1556
01:14:42,013 --> 01:14:43,772
Speaker 3: that you can have festivals, you can go out and

1557
01:14:43,772 --> 01:14:45,852
Speaker 3: you can have a nice drink with your friends and

1558
01:14:45,933 --> 01:14:48,933
Speaker 3: family and enjoy something. Have a buggy, have a boggye

1559
01:14:49,253 --> 01:14:53,492
Speaker 3: oh hundred eighty is the number to call Beck very shortly.

1560
01:14:53,973 --> 01:14:55,973
Speaker 3: And the ticks number. There's some great ticks coming through.

1561
01:14:56,133 --> 01:14:58,612
Speaker 3: Nine to nine two. It is nine to three.

1562
01:14:59,652 --> 01:15:02,093
Speaker 4: The issues that affect you and a bit of fun

1563
01:15:02,133 --> 01:15:02,732
Speaker 4: along the way.

1564
01:15:02,973 --> 01:15:06,293
Speaker 1: Matt and Taylor Afternoons with the VOLDO xc N eighty

1565
01:15:06,452 --> 01:15:08,333
Speaker 1: innovation style and to save.

1566
01:15:08,412 --> 01:15:10,092
Speaker 4: Have it all youth talks, they'd.

1567
01:15:09,933 --> 01:15:13,652
Speaker 3: Be news talks there be. It is seven to three.

1568
01:15:14,732 --> 01:15:18,852
Speaker 2: Hayden, welcome to the show. Your thought on restrictions around

1569
01:15:19,013 --> 01:15:21,012
Speaker 2: alcohol at festivals as are going too far?

1570
01:15:22,532 --> 01:15:25,412
Speaker 22: Yeah, hey boys, I definitely think it is. I think

1571
01:15:25,412 --> 01:15:28,452
Speaker 22: this is an ongoing symptom from two thousand and eight

1572
01:15:28,492 --> 01:15:32,053
Speaker 22: when we started to say to New Zealanders that it

1573
01:15:32,093 --> 01:15:34,732
Speaker 22: actually the consumer isn't at fault for their own purchase

1574
01:15:35,013 --> 01:15:38,372
Speaker 22: and that the blame must sit with the business. And

1575
01:15:38,572 --> 01:15:41,732
Speaker 22: when you look at festivals now, they're the latest and

1576
01:15:41,812 --> 01:15:46,092
Speaker 22: the long line of businesses and hospitality and visitor economy

1577
01:15:46,093 --> 01:15:48,972
Speaker 22: that have been affected by this mindset. If you look

1578
01:15:49,013 --> 01:15:51,652
Speaker 22: through CBDs now, I think you were in a hospital. Say,

1579
01:15:51,652 --> 01:15:54,213
Speaker 22: things are tough, but particularly if you're in bars, in

1580
01:15:54,333 --> 01:15:57,852
Speaker 22: nightclubs now where police, liquor licensing and councils are now

1581
01:15:57,973 --> 01:16:02,333
Speaker 22: shifting closing times or one way doors to earlier and

1582
01:16:02,412 --> 01:16:06,173
Speaker 22: earlier times. And you know, probably one of the saddest things,

1583
01:16:06,372 --> 01:16:08,812
Speaker 22: and evidence of that is you go to total right now,

1584
01:16:08,853 --> 01:16:11,093
Speaker 22: and have a look at this CBD, which used to

1585
01:16:11,133 --> 01:16:14,093
Speaker 22: have a pumping nightlife. They're as busy at brunch as

1586
01:16:14,173 --> 01:16:16,772
Speaker 22: they are on a Friday night. And that's that's an

1587
01:16:16,772 --> 01:16:22,532
Speaker 22: attitude that is across our government, our local body, and

1588
01:16:22,572 --> 01:16:27,092
Speaker 22: our licensing authorities. I get it. We understand police councils

1589
01:16:27,093 --> 01:16:29,572
Speaker 22: that don't want bad media, if police don't want to

1590
01:16:29,572 --> 01:16:32,173
Speaker 22: be arresting people in bars, but all they're doing is

1591
01:16:32,253 --> 01:16:35,892
Speaker 22: shifting people that are going to an organized venue where

1592
01:16:35,893 --> 01:16:39,573
Speaker 22: there is some security and medical support to garages.

1593
01:16:40,053 --> 01:16:40,452
Speaker 7: What we do.

1594
01:16:40,532 --> 01:16:42,093
Speaker 2: What we do is we punish. It is that the

1595
01:16:42,213 --> 01:16:44,892
Speaker 2: right way we punish people that are doing something and

1596
01:16:44,933 --> 01:16:47,932
Speaker 2: creating something, opening a bar or running a festival. Those

1597
01:16:47,933 --> 01:16:51,133
Speaker 2: are the people we punish. Where I mean, I would

1598
01:16:51,133 --> 01:16:56,492
Speaker 2: support removal of tax on alcohol at establishments now where

1599
01:16:56,532 --> 01:16:59,612
Speaker 2: you get people out and it's hiring people and you

1600
01:16:59,652 --> 01:17:02,052
Speaker 2: know people are being looked after in a place. Lower

1601
01:17:02,093 --> 01:17:04,972
Speaker 2: the tax on that and try and move the consumption

1602
01:17:05,013 --> 01:17:08,213
Speaker 2: of alcohol out of the house and into establishments and

1603
01:17:08,412 --> 01:17:09,012
Speaker 2: to events.

1604
01:17:10,053 --> 01:17:13,772
Speaker 22: Rat I'm with you on that. I'm all four making

1605
01:17:14,093 --> 01:17:16,892
Speaker 22: it harder to purchase at an off license so that

1606
01:17:16,933 --> 01:17:20,493
Speaker 22: when you are drinking, you're in a well managed, secure

1607
01:17:20,612 --> 01:17:24,133
Speaker 22: space that has some laws around how much alcohol you

1608
01:17:24,173 --> 01:17:27,692
Speaker 22: can be served, and that includes festivals. But we're making

1609
01:17:27,732 --> 01:17:30,692
Speaker 22: it so hard and so much easier for people to

1610
01:17:30,732 --> 01:17:33,293
Speaker 22: just go by a palett of dobos. So it's a

1611
01:17:33,452 --> 01:17:37,932
Speaker 22: flat and done it and just get less. And we're

1612
01:17:37,933 --> 01:17:42,452
Speaker 22: seeing just huge rumbles on castle cuity these days, where

1613
01:17:42,452 --> 01:17:44,532
Speaker 22: we used to see them down in the pubs that

1614
01:17:44,692 --> 01:17:46,412
Speaker 22: either in having a mean time.

1615
01:17:46,732 --> 01:17:48,412
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I've got to say that I have had

1616
01:17:49,013 --> 01:17:50,692
Speaker 2: a lot of great times in dened and sitting on

1617
01:17:50,692 --> 01:17:52,813
Speaker 2: the couch with a few doughbros with my mates.

1618
01:17:53,612 --> 01:17:55,333
Speaker 3: And you would have gone through a few couches as well.

1619
01:17:55,372 --> 01:17:58,013
Speaker 2: I'll probably sit a few couches on fire in my time.

1620
01:17:58,053 --> 01:17:59,852
Speaker 2: Hey Hayden, thank you so much for your call. You

1621
01:17:59,853 --> 01:18:04,493
Speaker 2: have a great day ready and great weekend. Great discussion.

1622
01:18:05,013 --> 01:18:09,052
Speaker 3: I think ninety nine point nine percent of the Texas

1623
01:18:09,093 --> 01:18:11,572
Speaker 3: coming through saying, yeah, it's just got a bit much

1624
01:18:11,692 --> 01:18:13,853
Speaker 3: light and ut. Let us have a bit of booze,

1625
01:18:14,093 --> 01:18:14,732
Speaker 3: joyce and fist.

1626

1630
01:18:28,532 --> 01:18:31,492
Speaker 3: You would have heard about it quite controversial, but are quitetroversial.

1631
01:18:31,492 --> 01:18:34,173
Speaker 3: But someone asked it to roast New Zealand and some

1632
01:18:34,213 --> 01:18:35,093
Speaker 3: funny lines there.

1633
01:18:35,093 --> 01:18:36,892
Speaker 2: But we want to turn it around a little bit. Yeah,

1634
01:18:36,893 --> 01:18:39,212
Speaker 2: that's right. So we're going to get you to unroast

1635
01:18:39,253 --> 01:18:41,612
Speaker 2: New Zealand. Toast New Zealand after you've listened to an

1636
01:18:41,612 --> 01:18:47,173
Speaker 2: AI roast. Next new beginning comes from some of the beginnings.

1643
01:19:15,772 --> 01:19:21,252

Speaker 2: roasted us in pretty good roasting actually, So we're going

1646
01:19:28,173 --> 01:19:29,893
Speaker 2: to try and turn that around and do the impossible

1647
01:19:30,933 --> 01:19:32,532
Speaker 2: and get people to ring up on our one hundred

1648

1657
01:19:56,692 --> 01:19:59,293
Speaker 2: And remember, the New Zealand of the Week isn't always

1658
01:19:59,333 --> 01:20:03,012
Speaker 2: an agent of good. Sometimes the nominations are lame, annoying,

1659
01:20:03,492 --> 01:20:06,492
Speaker 2: or outright evil. So, without further ado, the nominees for

01:21:21,692 --> 01:21:24,253
Speaker 2: same very cool land Rover, which was also driven up

1688
01:21:24,253 --> 01:21:26,812
Speaker 2: the steps in nineteen forty eight. His reward for doing

1689
01:21:26,853 --> 01:21:29,372
Speaker 2: this most New Zealand of things, the media angry about

1690
01:21:29,372 --> 01:21:31,412
Speaker 2: other things, proceeded to pretend to be outraged for a

1691
01:21:31,412 --> 01:21:34,013
Speaker 2: whole week. In some week, winging opposition babies went as

1692
01:21:34,013 --> 01:21:36,973
Speaker 2: far as claiming he should lose his ministerial position for

1693
01:21:37,093 --> 01:21:39,932
Speaker 2: two steps in a land Rover, hard enough for daring

1694
01:21:39,973 --> 01:21:42,413
Speaker 2: to have some harmless fun and a time of pathetic

1695
01:21:42,492 --> 01:21:46,933

Speaker 2: that's humiliating. I need to share it serious now. How

1706
01:22:37,532 --> 01:22:39,053
Speaker 2: when I was making coffee before, Tyler, you told me

1707
01:22:39,093 --> 01:22:41,173
Speaker 2: about a new bathroom I'd never heard of. Yep, down

1708
01:22:41,253 --> 01:22:43,933
Speaker 2: there over by the coffee machine. The VP barthroom here. Yeah,

1709
01:22:43,973 --> 01:22:46,133
Speaker 2: so I couldn't find it and I was trying to

1710
01:22:46,133 --> 01:22:48,852
Speaker 2: get into it, and there's a there's a door there,

1711
01:22:49,173 --> 01:22:51,093
Speaker 2: and I was standing there and I just couldn't work

1712
01:22:51,133 --> 01:22:54,173
Speaker 2: it out until someone came along and went, you were

1713
01:22:54,173 --> 01:22:57,333
Speaker 2: a moron pressed the button. I'm just sitting in a

1714
01:22:57,372 --> 01:23:01,093
Speaker 2: huge amount of shame. I've failed the most basic intelligence test.

1715
01:23:01,293 --> 01:23:04,852
Speaker 3: So so there's a kitchen in the office. To those listening, right,

1716
01:23:05,333 --> 01:23:08,492
Speaker 3: Metts didn't realize that there is a beautiful bath room

1717
01:23:08,652 --> 01:23:09,613
Speaker 3: just around the corner.

1718
01:23:09,333 --> 01:23:09,492
Speaker 7: And.

1719
01:23:11,173 --> 01:23:14,013
Speaker 2: Walking a long way to visit the bathroom.

1720
01:23:13,973 --> 01:23:16,893
Speaker 3: And you keep wondering where I'm disappearing. Off, you're making coffee.

1721
01:23:17,933 --> 01:23:19,492
Speaker 2: And you will disappear. Yet what the hell is going

1722
01:23:19,532 --> 01:23:20,053
Speaker 2: on back there?

1723
01:23:20,133 --> 01:23:24,493
Speaker 3: So clearly, and there's the big glass doors right, and

1724
01:23:24,532 --> 01:23:26,053
Speaker 3: that's the doors that you're talking about. So you were

1725
01:23:26,093 --> 01:23:28,932
Speaker 3: just standing in front of these doors open, sesame, Why.

1726
01:23:28,853 --> 01:23:29,732
Speaker 2: Isn't this working?

1727
01:23:29,853 --> 01:23:31,732
Speaker 3: Yeah, until someone pressed the big cream but.

1728
01:23:31,973 --> 01:23:35,692
Speaker 2: No, it was humiliated mate. Yeah, So just so the

1729
01:23:35,732 --> 01:23:37,053
Speaker 2: listeners know I'm an idiot.

1730
01:23:36,933 --> 01:23:39,372
Speaker 3: Well and now in now and there isn't a lovely bathroom.

1731
01:23:39,572 --> 01:23:41,692
Speaker 2: I felt like I had to share with people that

1732
01:23:42,013 --> 01:23:44,773
Speaker 2: they're listening to an idiot that can't even open the door.

1733
01:23:44,812 --> 01:23:46,253
Speaker 3: That's going to save you a lot of time. Now though,

1734
01:23:46,532 --> 01:23:48,652
Speaker 3: right onto this topic, this is going to be a dooozy.

Speaker 3: We get excited about it of the year, right number two.

1766
01:25:15,612 --> 01:25:18,692
Speaker 3: The New Zealander is proof that if you put enough

1767
01:25:18,732 --> 01:25:21,333
Speaker 3: sheep and overpriced house in one place, people will actually

1768
01:25:21,333 --> 01:25:22,172
Speaker 3: convince themselves.

1769
01:25:22,173 --> 01:25:22,932
Speaker 2: It's a utopia.

1770
01:25:23,532 --> 01:25:24,253
Speaker 20: That hurts.

1771
01:25:24,452 --> 01:25:26,173
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's a roast. Put enough sheep

1772
01:25:26,213 --> 01:25:28,972
Speaker 2: and over house pricing in one place, people will actually

1773
01:25:28,973 --> 01:25:32,812
Speaker 2: convince themselves they're in the utopia. Okay. The entire country

1774
01:25:32,893 --> 01:25:35,372
Speaker 2: has the energy of a small town Facebook group where

1775
01:25:35,412 --> 01:25:39,492
Speaker 2: someone's constantly complaining about teenagers doing burnouts at three am.

1776
01:25:39,572 --> 01:25:41,612
Speaker 2: I'm concerned about this. I think we've got our number there.

1777
01:25:41,612 --> 01:25:44,812
Speaker 2: We are turning into a small town Facebook group with

1778
01:25:44,853 --> 01:25:47,452
Speaker 2: people complaining. Yeah, that does seem what that is accurate.

1779
01:25:47,492 --> 01:25:49,853
Speaker 2: It's funny because it's very very true. Yeah.

1780
01:25:50,013 --> 01:25:52,412
Speaker 3: New Zealand's idea of nightlife is a kabab shop that

1781
01:25:52,452 --> 01:25:54,692
Speaker 3: closes at nine thirty pm and a drunk nineteen year

1782
01:25:54,692 --> 01:25:55,773
Speaker 3: old fighting a roadside.

1783
01:25:55,853 --> 01:26:02,812
Speaker 2: Again, nailed it, every major city. So we're reading out

1784
01:26:02,853 --> 01:26:06,333
Speaker 2: some burns, some AI burns of New Zealand. Every major

1785
01:26:06,372 --> 01:26:09,092
Speaker 2: city in New Zealand is just a glorified town except Auckland,

1786
01:26:09,093 --> 01:26:10,973
Speaker 2: which is a glorified traffic jam.

1787
01:26:11,333 --> 01:26:14,732
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, nice again hurt Yeah, quite quite hurtful that one.

1788
01:26:14,772 --> 01:26:18,892
Speaker 2: So that's an AI roast of New Zealand. But can

1789
01:26:18,893 --> 01:26:21,052
Speaker 2: we can we toast New Zealand? Have you got something?

1790

Speaker 2: toast New Zealand? Yeah? What are we atilating to nothing?

1792
01:26:27,532 --> 01:26:29,452
Speaker 2: I don't think people will. I think we've we've reached

1793
01:26:29,452 --> 01:26:31,412
Speaker 2: a stage in New Zealand where people are just complaining

1794
01:26:31,452 --> 01:26:33,253
Speaker 2: and no one's no one's toasting.

1795

1798
01:26:41,333 --> 01:26:44,052
Speaker 3: basically a love letter to your soul in coffee form.

1799
01:26:44,053 --> 01:26:46,772
Speaker 3: It's so smooth you'll be wondering if they secretly blend

1800
01:26:46,853 --> 01:26:49,813
Speaker 3: magic and with the beans. We do coffee better than anybody.

1801

Speaker 3: That's a nice toast, isn't it.

1802
01:26:51,333 --> 01:26:52,812
Speaker 2: I'm going to push back on that. I think that

1803
01:26:52,893 --> 01:26:55,093
Speaker 2: the Flat White is a terrible coffee. It's just a

1804
01:26:55,253 --> 01:26:58,213
Speaker 2: it's just a trumped up latte. It's all milk, it's

1805
01:26:58,213 --> 01:27:00,772
Speaker 2: a it's a weak person's coffee. It's a baby's coffee.

Speaker 2: the texture.

1841
01:28:35,772 --> 01:28:39,572

1842
01:28:39,652 --> 01:28:41,932
Speaker 3: are super chill. New Zealanders are the kind of people

1843
01:28:41,933 --> 01:28:44,652
Speaker 3: who would apologize if they accidentally bumped into a wall.

1844
01:28:44,732 --> 01:28:45,012

1848
01:28:54,372 --> 01:28:58,692
Speaker 2: We have sweet heaps of sweet tats, says this texture.

1849
01:28:58,812 --> 01:29:02,492
Speaker 3: Great fishing everywhere you go. That is that is not Yeah,

1850
01:29:02,612 --> 01:29:04,573
Speaker 3: that is the first one that's legitimate.

1851
01:29:04,732 --> 01:29:07,732

1858
01:29:27,213 --> 01:29:29,372
Speaker 24: of traveling around the world in the last few years

1859
01:29:29,532 --> 01:29:32,213
Speaker 24: and gone to all the beautiful spots around the world.

1860
01:29:32,293 --> 01:29:35,772
Speaker 24: That you hear talked about. And then we come back

1861

1862
01:29:38,053 --> 01:29:44,572

1865
01:29:49,893 --> 01:29:52,932
Speaker 2: is a controversial question, South Island or North Island scenery.

1866
01:29:55,572 --> 01:29:57,932
Speaker 24: Well, I guess they both have their points. But we're

1869
01:30:02,853 --> 01:30:05,812
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's lovely. And speaking of good fishing, doesn't get

1870
01:30:05,893 --> 01:30:07,293
Speaker 3: much better than to Carca Coast.

1871
01:30:07,853 --> 01:30:10,493
Speaker 24: That's pretty goes, pretty goes pretty.

1983
01:35:26,013 --> 01:35:29,412
Speaker 2: cone capital of the world. Is that a positive is

1984
01:35:29,652 --> 01:35:31,532
Speaker 2: something we can be proud? No, I think that's something

1985
01:35:31,532 --> 01:35:34,852
Speaker 2: we should be deeply humiliated about. Yeah, the fact that

1986
01:35:34,853 --> 01:35:37,172
Speaker 2: there needs to be an executive order from the government

1987
01:35:37,412 --> 01:35:39,412
Speaker 2: to say that road you can't have a road cone

1988
01:35:39,412 --> 01:35:41,372
Speaker 2: within a meter of another road cone because they started

1989
01:35:41,372 --> 01:35:43,972
Speaker 2: they started double road coning that they have road cones

1990
01:35:44,053 --> 01:35:47,293

Speaker 3: So what's on your watch list for the weekend?

2323
01:54:23,933 --> 01:54:24,452
Speaker 2: Sport Wise?

2324
01:54:24,772 --> 01:54:29,652
Speaker 26: I think a bit of Six Nations because this weekend

2325
01:54:31,013 --> 01:54:33,812
Speaker 26: so I've been watching a wee bit of Six Nations.

2326
01:54:35,013 --> 01:54:35,533
Speaker 2: It's kind of a.

2327
01:54:35,573 --> 01:54:38,453
Speaker 26: Sick fascination just seeing what on Earth whales can do.

2328
01:54:38,653 --> 01:54:42,053
Speaker 26: Now after fourteen on the bounce, I'm like, things have

2329
01:54:42,213 --> 01:54:43,093
Speaker 26: got to turn around.

2330
01:54:43,893 --> 01:54:46,012
Speaker 2: Such a great tournament though, isn't it just so simple?

2331
01:54:46,173 --> 01:54:48,772
Speaker 2: Six nations play each other once and then you find

2332
01:54:48,812 --> 01:54:50,852
Speaker 2: out who's best. It's so quick and simple.

2333
01:54:50,893 --> 01:54:53,453
Speaker 26: Well, that's not the champions trophy again. You've got the

2334
01:54:53,533 --> 01:54:56,333
Speaker 26: best teams in the world. They play around robin, top two,

2335
01:54:56,413 --> 01:54:59,373
Speaker 26: semi finalist and in a day and age. You need

2336
01:54:59,413 --> 01:55:03,093
Speaker 26: to have a confusing situation the way you qualify.

2337
01:55:02,772 --> 01:55:04,653
Speaker 2: Speaking watched Super Rugby, You'll be watching but of that

2338
01:55:04,693 --> 01:55:06,173
Speaker 2: as well? Yeah, well what Super Rugby?

2339
01:55:06,213 --> 01:55:07,093
Speaker 28: That was something that was going on.

2340
01:55:08,333 --> 01:55:10,373
Speaker 26: Do you see that the Six Nations is going to

2341
01:55:10,373 --> 01:55:13,812
Speaker 26: be fun. I'm not going to be watching any NRL

2342
01:55:15,293 --> 01:55:18,693
Speaker 26: pre games because I tried really hard last week, but

2343
01:55:18,733 --> 01:55:21,093
Speaker 26: there's just nothing on it. It's really hard to get

2344
01:55:21,293 --> 01:55:23,293
Speaker 26: foods and engage when you know it doesn't matter.

2345
01:55:23,413 --> 01:55:25,573
Speaker 2: What you're doing is hoping for a lack of injuries

2346
01:55:25,733 --> 01:55:29,053
Speaker 2: precisely yet to my show too long. Yeah, yeah, I

2347
01:55:29,133 --> 01:55:30,613
Speaker 2: have been. And the other thing. The other thing with

2348
01:55:30,733 --> 01:55:34,693
Speaker 2: that is you'r you basically go. If we do really well,

2349
01:55:34,853 --> 01:55:37,053
Speaker 2: if you're the Warriors fan, that's a bad omen. If

2350
01:55:37,093 --> 01:55:41,812
Speaker 2: we do really badly, it's a bad open just omens everywhere.

2351
01:55:42,613 --> 01:55:43,812
Speaker 2: You just don't want to know about it.

2352
01:55:43,973 --> 01:55:47,293
Speaker 26: So yeah, I'd be watching lots of Superdup and rugby

2353
01:55:47,413 --> 01:55:48,772
Speaker 26: because I can't help myself.

2354
01:55:48,853 --> 01:55:51,493
Speaker 3: And how we got on tonight Crusaders, Hurricanes and what

2355
01:55:51,613 --> 01:55:51,973
Speaker 3: was the other one?

2356
01:55:52,093 --> 01:55:54,933
Speaker 26: Highland Howland is taking on the war Retars and that

2357
01:55:55,293 --> 01:56:00,333
Speaker 26: could be quite the display. Waratars have got big ups

2358
01:56:00,373 --> 01:56:03,573
Speaker 26: on themselves, tickets on themselves, as they say, and with

2359
01:56:03,733 --> 01:56:08,772
Speaker 26: guys like playing who is quite the freak of nature.

2360
01:56:09,173 --> 01:56:12,693
Speaker 26: I get why people want to be watching that. The Islanders,

2361
01:56:12,733 --> 01:56:16,812
Speaker 26: of course want today dismiss that if they will. Is

2362
01:56:16,893 --> 01:56:18,573
Speaker 26: that two or three I've run and I've lost.

2363
01:56:18,693 --> 01:56:20,892
Speaker 2: That's two You're one lost town. You chip your Chiefs

2364
01:56:20,893 --> 01:56:21,932
Speaker 2: Blues on Saturday night.

2365
01:56:22,133 --> 01:56:25,693
Speaker 26: Yeah, well, I think all Super Rugby just watch the

2366
01:56:25,733 --> 01:56:27,213
Speaker 26: whole lot of it. So that kind of fills up

2367
01:56:27,213 --> 01:56:28,693
Speaker 26: your weekend with a bit of six nations.

2368
01:56:28,772 --> 01:56:29,253
