And 9 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 2: Ruth Money on those crime stats out yesterday. 10 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: The agenda frid. 11 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 2: Out of twenty seventh to February Krishner and Witcoff and Geneva. 12 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,840 Speaker 2: Another rounded talk still mo deal with the Iranians. 13 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 3: Here's what the President's positions are, and I believe that 14 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 3: the positions of the United States are to remove completely. 15 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,639 Speaker 3: He runs military nuclear capability, and if not, I think 16 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 3: there'll be serious consequences. And President Trump is a man 17 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 3: whose word should be taken very seriously. 18 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 2: To Cuba and the Cubans who shot that speedboat yesterday 19 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 2: was a US speedboat apparently had four people on it, 20 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 2: and they were planned some kind of infiltration or plot. 21 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 2: Rubio is pretty open minded about what they were actually 22 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 2: doing there. We're going to find out. We're not going 23 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 2: to base our conclusions on what they've told us. 24 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 3: And I'm very very confident that we will know the 25 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 3: full story of what happened here, and we will know 26 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 3: it soon. 27 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 2: And Denmark is going to head to the polls March 28 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 2: twenty four. The prime minister, they're met Frederickson. She's going 29 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 2: to capitalize on the whole Greenland situation with Trump. 30 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 4: I think the pressure on Greenland is totally unacceptable. We 31 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 4: will try to see if we can find a. 32 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 2: Solution, and you can you can. 33 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 5: Rely on us, you can trust us. We will do 34 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 5: whatever we can. 35 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 2: News talk said be Hillary Clinton. By the way, seven 36 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 2: after five nine nine, the number six Hillary Clinton is 37 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 2: going to appear. Well, she's not going to go to 38 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 2: Washington because you know, they kicked up a big stink. 39 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: They didn't want to go and to this House Oversight 40 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 2: Committee and talk to the committee members on Capitol Hill. 41 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 2: So all the committee members are having to go to 42 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 2: the Clinton's house in New York and they're going to 43 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 2: do it there, apparently. So Hillary is today, Bill is tomorrow. 44 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 2: All over Epstein. She says she never met him, She's 45 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 2: never met the guy, but I did meet Gilaine at 46 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: least twice, so we'll find more find out more about that. 47 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 2: Weally you can't live stream it for anyone who is 48 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,839 Speaker 2: desperately eager, but we'll get some video in a couple 49 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 2: of days. Apparently back home the coward punch situation, you 50 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 2: will remember the story. I'm sure the MMA fighter faux Vak, 51 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 2: now he's an MMA fighter. He didn't even get a 52 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 2: chance to throw a punch in this situation that happened 53 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 2: in Auckland because they came from behind they you know, 54 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 2: that's the point of a coward punch. Anyway, the guy 55 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: that did this gets less than a yet walks out 56 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 2: of jail in less than a year. Now, faux Vak 57 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 2: hads a young daughter and she is without a father. 58 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 2: So yesterday I spoke to Eugene Beerman, who's the MMA 59 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: head trainer at City Kickbox where he was fighting, and 60 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 2: he was quite interesting because normally you expect people to 61 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 2: say when it comes to crime and to victims and dessentencing, 62 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 2: you expect people to say, oh, well, if someone's had 63 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 2: a tough upbringing, you know this is what the courts safe. 64 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 2: Someone's had a tough fupbringing, then they deserve to have 65 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 2: a discount on their sentence. We have many of those, 66 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 2: plenty of those when it comes to sentencing in New Zealand. 67 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 2: But this is what he said yesterday about that idea. 68 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 6: This is the thing that we're really advocating against. We 69 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 6: were all naughty kids when we were young, you know 70 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 6: what I mean, and we all went through hardship. But 71 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 6: whether that should have any reflection later in life on 72 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 6: what you've done. We also become adults and we also 73 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 6: become responsible and I think you know, to apply those 74 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 6: discounts because there's some of these young fellows, they've had 75 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 6: a hard life, it doesn't truly affect how they're acting 76 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 6: later on as an adult. 77 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,839 Speaker 2: Interesting, isn't it? Now before Parliament at the moment, through 78 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 2: let committee stage as we speak, is a bill that 79 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 2: would toughen up the penalties for card punchers, but he 80 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 2: says doesn't go far far enough. Eugene wants a minimum 81 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 2: eight year non parole for that offense. Brian Bridge, speaking 82 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 2: of crime and punishment and victims, there's the survey stats 83 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 2: out yesterday. People, I don't know. There's two schools of thought. 84 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 2: Are these numbers worth the paper? They're written? On or 85 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 2: not Ruth Money on that. 86 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: Next Views and Views You Trust to start your day. 87 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: It's early edition with Bryan Bridge and one roof Love 88 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: Where You Live News Talks B. 89 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 2: Twelve after five. I mentioned the other day we would 90 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 2: get this this week. So the an z Business Outlook Survey, 91 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 2: this is the monthly one for February and it shows 92 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 2: that overall confidence is down five points, but the Sharon's Olner, 93 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 2: who's the chief economist there, says, don't worry too much 94 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: about that's still very strong at fifty nine. Overall activity 95 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: indicators across the survey solid facturing did very well, by 96 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 2: the way, and inflation price expectations. While you can read 97 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 2: into that two ways. Some people say, oh the slightly elevated, 98 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: other people say nothing to worry about. So the consensus, 99 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 2: at least from Sharon is that they're mixed. Bread Brech 100 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 2: So forty nine thousand and fewer victims of violent crime 101 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 2: in the year to October compared to two years prior. 102 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 2: This has come from the New Zealand Crime and Victims Survey. 103 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 2: So what of these numbers. Let's go to Ruth Money, 104 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 2: who's the government's chief victim's advisor. Ruth good morning, Good morning. 105 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 2: First of all, are these numbers solid and sound? 106 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, they are solid and sound. The New Zealand Crime 107 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 4: and Victims Survey is the benchmark. I guess it's not 108 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 4: just disclosed crime, so it's just not what's reported to 109 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 4: the police, but it's also undisclosed crime or unreported crime. 110 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 4: So the survey surveys people who have perhaps experienced a 111 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 4: burglary at home or sexual violence but for whatever reason, 112 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 4: decided not to report it to the police. So it 113 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,559 Speaker 4: is our benchmark measure. 114 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 2: And when we say violent crime, what would your class 115 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 2: is violent? 116 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 7: Sexual assault? 117 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 4: Non sexual assault that's physical so you know you're outside 118 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 4: a bar and someone punctures you, for example, a common assault, 119 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 4: which is what the Crimes Act would call it. 120 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 8: All robbery. 121 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 4: Family violence is also included, so sexual stuff and or 122 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 4: physical stuff. In terms of interpersonal relationships. 123 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 2: And what do you put the drop down to m it's. 124 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 4: The magic thing. Hey, if we knew that, we'd do 125 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 4: more of it. Look, I think it is a mix 126 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 4: of all sorts of things. When I speak with survivors, 127 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 4: when I speak with the sector who are helping survivors, 128 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 4: a lot of it is that there is a lot 129 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 4: more of police presence, so they feel safer, and we 130 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 4: do know that that deters crime people, you know, police 131 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 4: being present. But I also think there may be some 132 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 4: kind of sentencing effect where we've got people who are 133 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 4: resider as defenders. We don't want to put everybody in prison, 134 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 4: but we do want to keep the community safe. So 135 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 4: if people are in prison, they can't hurt other people. 136 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 4: So yeah, it's a mix, I think from what I 137 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 4: from what I hear from the front line, and what 138 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 4: I experienced talking to people. 139 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 2: It's interesting you're hearing you say that, Ruth, because it's 140 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 2: not a revelation. You know, if you are somebody who 141 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 2: repeatedly violently assaults people and you're in jail, then it 142 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 2: stands to reason you won't be able to do that anymore. 143 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 4: That's it. That's exactly right. It is exactly right. You 144 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 4: are in the safest place for you and more importantly 145 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 4: for us, until you know we can hopefully rehabilitate your behavior, 146 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 4: but at least keep us safe. Thank you very much. 147 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 4: In the meantime, I. 148 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 2: Spoke to Eugene Berman yesterday from City Kickboxing about faux Vark, 149 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 2: who was coward punched, and he was saying we want 150 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 2: some minimum non parole for a coward punch offense. Do 151 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 2: we need more minimum non parole periods in your view? 152 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 4: Well, that's an interesting call because I know that the 153 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 4: judiciary doesn't like them, and they will do anything to 154 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 4: kind of avoid a charge that will be linked to 155 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 4: a minimum non parole period in my experience, so it 156 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 4: makes it very difficult when they come across. I'm sorry 157 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 4: when that happens, there's a normal often a negotiation between 158 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 4: prosecution and defense, and the charges can change. So I'm 159 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 4: really conscious that you could become or you could end 160 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 4: up with an unintended consequence by putting a mandatory minimum 161 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 4: non parole period. The judiciary really don't like it, and 162 00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 4: I understand that to a level because everybody's circumstances different. However, 163 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 4: the coward punches are a horrific crime and they do 164 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 4: need to be sentenced appropriately, which I don't believe they 165 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 4: are in most cases. 166 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 2: When you say that the judiciary doesn't like the non 167 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 2: parole period offenses and tries to almost rig aloud them, 168 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 2: why is that. 169 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 4: Well, ultimately, you know, the judiciary is independent and it's 170 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 4: their court, and so it's their job to assess everything 171 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 4: that is in front of them and make the best 172 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 4: decision for the community and the offender. But the offender 173 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 4: is obviously the party to the preceding. The victim isn't. 174 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 4: And this is something that you and I have spoken 175 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 4: about for over ten years. The victim is not considered, right, 176 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 4: their outcome is not considered because that's not what the 177 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 4: justice system's job is to do. Unfortunately, it's something I 178 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 4: want to change, but that's not the system we have 179 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 4: right now. So the judiciary can only do what's in 180 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 4: front of them, which is to consider all of the material, 181 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 4: which is about the person who did the violent crimes 182 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 4: rather than about the community and about us. So I'm 183 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 4: trying to get the weights right. But at the end 184 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 4: of the day, the judiciary goes, well, you know, we 185 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,479 Speaker 4: need to try and rehabilitate this person. And the Sentencing 186 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 4: Act does say that they need to look at the 187 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 4: least sentence possible in that in their occurrence. So it's 188 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 4: a different They walk a tight a tight rope, and 189 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 4: it is a difficult thing to get everybody, make everybody happy. 190 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm with Eugene. I'm not happy Ruth comes. 191 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 2: The victims.

Am I right? 212 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 7: Let's preach up people across two days and I think 213 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 7: there's currently twenty five thousand people on the waiting list 214 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 7: to get tickets, but he's given any of them up. 215 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 2: Where are they coming from? An it's a. 216 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 7: Mixture across both the local economy. But we've got about 217 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 7: twenty three thousand people coming into christ Church. We had 218 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 7: about eighteen thousand of them coming in last night after 219 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 7: sort of five o'clock last night, so a huge kind 220 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 7: of across New Zealand. And we've got some Australians coming in. 221 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 7: It is New Zealand's in Australasia's largest music festival. 222 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 2: How does it compare for you to other events you hold? 223 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 7: Oh, look, electricav is a pretty good caliber and high 224 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 7: level event. You know, it brings thousands of people into 225 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 7: the city and it just creates such an amazing vibe 226 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 7: in the city. The place is going off right now. 227 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 2: It's pretty intense. They need barbed why to keep people out. 228 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 2: Apparently they're worried, they're that worried about people running it 229 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 2: straight into the fences. 230 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 7: I did see that. I guess that just goes to 231 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 7: show the caliber of the content and the exit they've 232 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 7: got on at Electric Avenue that people want to get in. 233 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 2: Do you guys pay to have the festival there. 234 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 7: The festival is supported obviously by Live Nation, who are 235 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 7: a big American company and so they predominantly do all 236 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 7: of it. But if the additional support required, we will 237 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 7: support them. 238 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 2: Right. But it's not like you have to pay to 239 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 2: host it. No, okay, well that's good. So ten million 240 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 2: bucks is net. That's great. Appreciate your time, Man and 241 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 2: newman who is with Christ churchen Z this morning twenty 242 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 2: three minutes after five the early. 243 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: Edition for All the Show podcast on i art Radio 244 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: powered by News Talks AV. 245 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 2: News Talks Are Big twenty six minutes after five in 246 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 2: New Zealand's interim results for the half year. Certainly didn't 247 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 2: fill you with confidence yesterday? Did they are? So little confidence 248 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 2: did David Seymour have in them that he suggested we 249 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 2: just sell the whole bloody thing. There are the costs, sure, 250 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 2: but then Qantas mentioned the same cost pressures and their 251 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 2: results yesterday still managed to make a buck, didn't they demand? 252 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 2: Domestic demand stills subpar. Kiwis aren't traveling as much in 253 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 2: our own backyard, both in general and on our own airline. 254 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 2: The reason, partly this is a simple economy story. We 255 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 2: haven't been performing as well as the Australians have we 256 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 2: so it stands to reason that demand hasn't been firing. 257 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 2: But there's also choice in the market. You know this. 258 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 2: There are alternatives, at least on the main trunk lines, 259 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 2: and of late, Air New Zealanders hasn't been affordable for 260 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 2: most people. What's more, the results mention this specifically as well. 261 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 2: Business travel has been slow to recover, and we have 262 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 2: a lot of business owners business leaders listening to this 263 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 2: show in the morning. They're up early, up and adam 264 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 2: and they text in time and time Again. Whenever we 265 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 2: mention Air New Zealand, the complaint is the same. They 266 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 2: cancel too many flights, There too many delays. Don't mind 267 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 2: paying through the nose for the last minute flight, Don't 268 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 2: get me wrong, but the flights have to leave on 269 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 2: time and arrive on time. If you've got a meeting 270 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 2: in christ Church at midday, you book a ten am 271 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 2: from Wellington. Say you need that product to do what 272 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 2: it says on the packet. If it fails you you 273 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 2: lose trust. If you lose trust, you stop using the product. Now, 274 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 2: airlines always tell us that they've got great on time performance, 275 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 2: but most people don't have a lot of faith in 276 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 2: those numbers. I don't think it's like Wellingtonian's trusting the 277 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 2: water sampling at Lyle Bay. If they did, poor old 278 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 2: Andrew Little wouldn't have needed as little lunchtime photo op 279 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 2: this week, would he? The question now is what are 280 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 2: they going to do about it in New Zealand. That is, 281 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 2: they should start by fixing the trust issue. If it's 282 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 2: in fact a perception issue, and where wrong, then fix 283 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 2: the perception issue. Twenty eight minutes after five. We're going 284 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 2: to speak to the mayor of Topor just before six 285 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 2: this morning. Because the other thing they could do, of 286 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 2: courses start cutting costs and whether they start cutting well, 287 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 2: potentially regional roots could Tope will be one of them 288 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 2: because Topor lost origin here last year they had a 289 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 2: Topaul Wellington flight gone and before that and they were 290 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 2: only operating for a couple of months and before that 291 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 2: it was sounds there Topaul Wellington gone. So they currently 292 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 2: have topau Auckland with their New Zealand could that be 293 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 2: up for review or under threat. We'll talk to them 294 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 2: mere about that just before six this morning. Now, do 295 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 2: you have a smart devices in your home. I'm not 296 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 2: big on the whole smart home thing. I just find 297 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 2: it's probably more work than it's worth for me. But 298 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 2: people have front doors, they have cameras, they have locks, 299 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 2: they have heating TVs, I mean the TV. I have 300 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 2: the vacuum cleaner, you know, the robot vacuum cleaners. So 301 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 2: there's a French programmer who managed to hack well he 302 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 2: didn't mean to, but he inadvertently hacked into seven thousand 303 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 2: people's robots, vacuum cleaners in their homes. What's scary about 304 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 2: this is he did it exit and he got all 305 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 2: of that because they've got cameras and microphones on these 306 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 2: vacuum cleaners, so he gets in the back end. Somehow 307 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,360 Speaker 2: he's able to know the location of these vacuum cleaners, 308 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 2: and then it gives you a map of people's homes 309 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 2: because the vacuum cleaners need to know where to go. Anyway. 310 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 2: Emails the Chinese company that brought it from no reply 311 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 2: goes to the media. Here we are Apparently they're going 312 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 2: to get onto fixing it. So just watch out for 313 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 2: you your little robots roaming around the house. It is 314 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 2: coming up to twenty nine after five Newstalks. 315 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 5: There b. 316 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day early 317 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and one Roote Love Where You 318 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:56,400 Speaker 1: Live News Talks at B. 319 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 2: Twenty four. Away from the Sex News talks, there'd be 320 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 2: on your Friday morning. Denmark's heading to the polls early. 321 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 2: This is the Greenland election. Gavin Gray with us shortly 322 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 2: on that. How Hillary Clinton, by the way, has just 323 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 2: said I don't recall ever encountering Epstein. When people say 324 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 2: they don't recall things, you do start to wonder, don't you. Anyway, 325 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 2: she has previously said this is happening in the House 326 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 2: Oversight Committee situation, that's happening in New York because they 327 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 2: don't want to travel to Capitol Hill. So you just said, 328 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,880 Speaker 2: I do not recall meeting or talking to him. Bill 329 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 2: of course did know Epstein. Hillary says didn't never knew him, 330 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 2: never talk to him. Don't recall talking to him now 331 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,360 Speaker 2: is the word that she's using. So anyway, you'll see 332 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,239 Speaker 2: and hear about that a lot today and we'll get 333 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 2: to our reporters in a second. I just wanted to 334 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 2: quickly raise with you, and we spoke about this yesterday, 335 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 2: the refund for the tariffs for importers.

Max and Wellington, Hey Max, good morning. So 395 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 2: those power outages you saw could have been avoided. 396 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 11: Yeah, so after last Monday's gale winds three hundred odd, 397 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 11: A few hundred odd homes I should rather say in 398 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,439 Speaker 11: the region without power for the whole week. There were 399 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 11: twenty one thousand initially on that Monday Tuesday, but three 400 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 11: hundred basically a week without power. Wellington Electricity here uses 401 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 11: the contractor Amexim to do its work.

Echoes of Wellington Water. These line 406 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 11: workers have also apparently been screaming out for the company 407 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 11: to hire more staff.

So 430 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 12: this is all because obviously we all know that the 431 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 12: government's working to give police the powers to push the 432 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 12: rough sleepers and beggars out of public spaces. The Members 433 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 12: Bills also making its way through Parliament and if enacted, 434 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 12: this could give more transparency around boarding houses and the operators. 435 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 12: So in November twenty twenty four, the Housing Minister said 436 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 12: such a register was not was not was not a priority. 437 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 12: But Alex Bottom, now he's the White Matar local board chair, 438 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 12: he says, oh this is no joined up thinking and 439 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 12: not supporting a register short sighted so yes, more on 440 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,479 Speaker 12: that all these different angles are coming through war and 441 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 12: you know, like we know that Mark Mitchell, you know, 442 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 12: said that the City Mission has been around a long time, 443 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 12: but you know. 444 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 2: Haven't really done their job correct. Yeah, which is I 445 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 2: mean it's a bit brutal because they do really good work. 446 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 2: But I mean it's true. It's not like we have 447 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 2: solved homelessness. It's but then who has Yeah, not that 448 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 2: you shouldn't try and guess neither, Thank you. 449 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 12: Okay, oh yes, I was gonna say, but other weather, 450 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 12: I'm going to go right back to front. 451 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 2: During the rest of your day. Eighteen minutes away from 452 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 2: six now, SIMB. So you know we were talking earlier 453 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 2: about in New Zealand, we're going to talk to the 454 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 2: mayor of Topaul before six o'clock. And there's an interesting 455 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 2: tech well, loads of interesting text on in New Zealand, 456 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 2: mainly complaining about the service. But Sean says Topul is 457 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,159 Speaker 2: well serviced out of Los to do a much cheaper 458 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 2: more flights and the Jets service direct to christ Church 459 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 2: out of Hamilton, so you have options. So do you 460 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 2: need the Topaul route? I don't think the mayor is 461 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 2: going to like you saying that Sean, but we'll put 462 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 2: it to him next. Also Gavin Gray, UK Europe Correspondent, 463 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 2: News Talks ZB. 464 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: International Correspondence with insign Eye Insurance, peace of Mind for 465 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: New Zealand, business. 466 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 2: Sporting away from Sex in New Zealand and a sick 467 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 2: in Denmark hitting to the polls. Early March twenty four 468 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,719 Speaker 2: is the date joining us as Gevin Gray are UK 469 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 2: europe correspondent. Given this is all Trump related, isn't it? 470 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 5: Well, I think it is actually Ryan Yes, I mean 471 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,199 Speaker 5: they didn't have to go for an election until the 472 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 5: end of October. But Meta Frederickson, the forty eight year 473 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 5: old Prime minister, has called this early. Why well, because 474 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 5: the opinion polls hadn't been very kind to her over 475 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 5: the last few months. There's been pressure about rising cost 476 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 5: of living and also welfare pressures. It appears she may 477 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 5: have called the staff election because at the moment she's 478 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 5: now riding high in the opinion polls. Why well, because 479 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 5: of the row over Greenland, which is part of the 480 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 5: Kingdom of Denmark, But of course is something that Donald 481 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,959 Speaker 5: Trump covets, and not just that. Of course, we are 482 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,399 Speaker 5: due to hear in the next week if Donald Trump 483 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 5: has sent this so called hospital ship over to Greenland. 484 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 5: He says, very poor healthcare over there. The Greenland leader 485 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 5: hit back and said, well, actually, we have good health 486 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 5: care here and what's more, it's free to all our public, 487 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 5: unlike America. Of course, we don't know what this ship is. 488 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,360 Speaker 5: They've not actually i'd really given any details about it. 489 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 5: But it does come amid this rising tension between the 490 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 5: US and Europe, and this election that she's called for 491 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 5: the end of March looks like something. At the moment 492 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 5: the opinion pols are suggesting she's going to win. At 493 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 5: the moment she's in a three way coalition. She may 494 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 5: just have enough to get a bit less in need 495 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 5: of a bit less agreement. 496 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 2: It's interesting, isn't it, Because the same thing kind of 497 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 2: happened with Canada, didn't that, Karne? You know, Trump and 498 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 2: his trade war and the threats, and then actually he 499 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 2: changes the course of an election, probably to his detriment. 500 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 5: Yes, very much. And often I think this is the 501 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 5: way things happen, that you know, you have one intention 502 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 5: at the outset, and then all of a sudden, actually 503 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 5: you find the opposite has happened. It certainly did happen 504 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 5: with Mark Carne in Canada when he swept a Paris 505 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 5: prime minister and here I think we're going to see 506 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 5: that with Matta Frederickson as well. If these opinion polls 507 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 5: are right, she is taking a gamble, but it looks 508 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 5: like at the moment it's a gamble that she considers 509 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 5: to be confident of winning. 510 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 2: Brilliant. Thanks so much, Kevin Gray are UK. You're a correspondent. 511 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 2: Time as twelve to six did be we could have 512 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 2: some turbulence on regional roots regional flights in New Zealand, 513 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 2: says cost cutting is going to be a focus after 514 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 2: losing well forty million dollars before in the six months 515 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 2: to December, and they're expecting to continue that track in 516 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 2: the six months following Revis Schenk. This is the CEO 517 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 2: prepared to cut roots that aren't profitable for the airline. 518 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 2: Have a listened to what he had to say about 519 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 2: the idea yesterday. 520 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 13: We do that as general course of business all the 521 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 13: time and we'll continue to keep doing that. 522 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 2: As any l I need to do. That is reviewing 523 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 2: those routes. The mirror of Tope or John Finnil is 524 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 2: with me this morning John, good morning, Good morning, you 525 00:27:59,240 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 2: worried about to. 526 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 8: Well it's of concern, but we're fortunately we've got a 527 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 8: very good relationship with the New Zealand and TAPO is 528 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 8: quite a popular place. We've got high loadings when the 529 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:18,919 Speaker 8: flights come in and out of Topo the full close 530 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 8: to full every time. So we'd be surprised to be 531 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 8: in New Zealand cut off Tapau because we're getting a 532 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:30,160 Speaker 8: high number of both international and domestic visitors into Toapo currently. 533 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 2: And this is obviously for that Auckland because i know 534 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 2: last year you lost the originy of flights to Wellington, 535 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 2: didn't you, And then before that sounds here pulled out. 536 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 2: Is that Wellington route just not just a bit seems 537 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 2: to be a bit of a waste of time, but 538 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 2: Auckland doing well. 539 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 8: Auckland is doing very well and it was a shame. 540 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 8: The Wellington route is a bit of a challenge because 541 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 8: of the mountains we've got across to get there. It 542 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 8: means this it's a challenging sector. 543 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 2: Service John, I've I'm getting loads of texts on this 544 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 2: as you can imagine this one says from Sean Tope 545 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 2: or Wealth Service out of dots to do a much 546 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,719 Speaker 2: cheaper more flights in the jet service director christ Church 547 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 2: outter Hamilton as well. Do we need it? 548 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 8: Yeah, there are other options of course, both MAFE Hamilton. 549 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 2: Okay, but you just take them all And what about 550 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 2: the price too expensive? About writer? I had a look 551 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 2: this morning. It was looked to be about two hundred 552 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 2: and fifty bucks return for a weekend in April from Auckland, 553 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 2: which I didn't think was too bad. I don't know 554 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 2: if there's a sale on. 555 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 8: Yeah, I guess it's always difficult and it costs myself. 556 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 8: Coming from the aviation industry, I do understand that costs 557 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 8: a rising for operators of aircraft. You know, we've seen 558 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 8: unprecedented increases in operational costs of not only fuel but 559 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 8: engine components, and so I understand that the airlines does 560 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 8: have to trade probably and the cost is the cost, 561 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 8: and there are some economics that are available by going 562 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 8: to other airports. But the TAPO sector to Auckland has 563 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 8: got a high load factor on it, and we have 564 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 8: a good relationship with the New Zealand and I'm not 565 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 8: expecting any change in near fure. There's a lot of 566 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 8: activities in TAPO with the Supercars, iron Man and most 567 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 8: weekends there's a lot of activity and then during the 568 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 8: week with the business travelers, people wanting to go to 569 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 8: and from Auckland. 570 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 2: John, appreciate your time this morning, John Fanel, who's the 571 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 2: tape of Men nine Away from six. We were talking 572 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 2: earlier this week about somebody just texting to say the 573 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 2: Queen Mary the cruise ship coming into Auckland right now, 574 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 2: looks amazing. You go go, how can you see it? 575 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 2: It's still dark. So in Australia we've to keep comparing 576 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 2: ourselves with the Aussies, which we like to do. Wage 577 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 2: growth there is slowing and you'll probably not like the 578 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 2: numbers anyway, but three point eight percent this is the 579 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 2: latest number from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. This is 580 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 2: the annual growth rate. But it is lower than the 581 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 2: growth rate of four and a half percent in the 582 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 2: year to May and the four point six percent in 583 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 2: the year to November of twenty twenty four. So now 584 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 2: basically their wages are just matching inflation. News Talks in 585 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 2: b eight to six. 586 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on an early edition with 587 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and one roof Love Where You Live. 588 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 5: News Talks ad B. 589 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 2: Six to six.

I reckon, get look at the numbers 594 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 13: on this program and it peaks at this point. If 595 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 13: you notice that, yeah, what what the hang on? Slowly 596 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 13: start slow builds slowly. 597 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 2: It starts to drop off. I think about six yours 598 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 2: truly leaves the builds. 599 00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 13: Not all the analytics. They can argue with it. 600 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 2: One says, you can see the Queen Mary coming into 601 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 2: the white and matar because she's got her lights on. Duh, 602 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 2: I see the Queen Mary. Even I was disappointed. 603 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 13: Funnily enough, it was a while ago, and I think 604 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 13: it may even have been back in the days before 605 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 13: the mega ships. 606 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 2: But when they were doing throwing coal on her, well, no. 607 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 13: One that long ago. But but I got on board 608 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 13: and I thought, is this it? You know, because you 609 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 13: pay a lot of money to be on the Queen 610 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 13: Mary still to this day, and it's one of those 611 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 13: beautiful old ships. 612 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 2: And you know, I've been on a cruise ship once 613 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 2: for a junket in Singapore. Was it a p and O? No, 614 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 2: it wasn't a p and o. But is it? 615 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: No? 616 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 2: It was a Was it a rich Carlton? No? One 617 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 2: was lower brow than that. It was not a celebrity cruisers. 618 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 2: What's the other brand? Though? You're not giving away? Yeah? 619 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 2: Is that how bad it's got for you? So any 620 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 2: cruise with Ryan Bridge Arouse straight to Malacca? But no, 621 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 2: it was terrible because they have hand sanitizer everywhere so 622 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 2: that you don't get neuro It's a petri dish. It's awful. 623 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 13: That's why I've never got I will never go on 624 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 13: a I mean, people who love it love it. But 625 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 13: I'm telling you what. You'll never catch me dead on 626 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 13: a cruise ship, you know, for reasons one everyone's one 627 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 13: hundred and three. 628 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, and well you're getting there also, Yeah, so they 629 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 2: they apparently this is a bit gross. You don't like it, 630 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 2: But apparently the food is very oily because the pipe 631 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 2: so that the pipes can handle all the business that 632 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 2: comes out at the other end. Isn't that horrific to think? 633 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 2: Told you that? 634 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 14: Now, I got told that by a passenger on board. 635 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 14: That's a great story. I didn't realize that. But that's 636 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 14: that's even more disgusting than I thought. Do you know 637 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 14: Nicol Rabershanka's with us, you know, the New Zealand boss. 638 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,239 Speaker 14: So if you add that, so he claims in his 639 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 14: report that the engines have cost them ninety million, right, 640 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 14: so you stick the ninety million on. 641 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 13: Top of what they lost. They're still barely making money, 642 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 13: so all their excuses are a problem. And it also 643 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 13: those costs, you know, landing costs all the every year line. 644 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 2: Place Aussie is about exactly quantus to see the. 645 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 13: Same thing that they make a fortune. So quantus are 646 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 13: making fortune.
