1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 1: New Zealand's voice of reason is Mike the Mic asking 2 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: Breakfast with Bailey's real Estate, doing real estate differently since 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,800 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three, news togs Dead b Noving and Welcome. 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 2: Today's scandal around Farna or our education and Rugby. Nicola 5 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 2: Willis has written another letter to the supermarkets. James may 6 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 2: Is in for a word after Right, Joe McKenna's and 7 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 2: Venice with a Big Wedding, and Rod Little he Does 8 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 2: written for us asking this day morning, welcome to its 9 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 2: seven past six. The Antoinette latoof Case in Australia probably 10 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 2: worth looking at if you're interested in the media and 11 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 2: in law. She was sacked by the ABC because she 12 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,160 Speaker 2: posted an opinion on the Israel gars of Warnow prizes 13 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 2: for getting which side she's on. The irony here is 14 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 2: she was on a five day fill in contract. She 15 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 2: was a no noise maker, so you could argue she 16 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 2: probably should not have even been hired in the first place. 17 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 2: Because public radio have these weird rules. You're not allowed 18 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 2: an opinion, or at least you need to pretend you're 19 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 2: not have an opinion. She was told not to post 20 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 2: stuff socially. She ignored that so their sector trouble is 21 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 2: the Fair Work Actor in Australia says you can aunt 22 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 2: ZAC someone for an opinion. Hence they lost. So they 23 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 2: pay seventy thousand dollars and there's another hearing it a 24 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 2: later at eight four pecuniary matters. Now this is bad 25 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 2: for the ABC because one, this isn't their first rodeo. 26 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 2: They're a bit hopeless in this area. Two, it's all 27 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 2: taxpayers money. Three the Fair Work Act isn't complicated, so 28 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 2: they should have seen this coming and bailed on the 29 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 2: case early given the legals to this point standard a 30 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,199 Speaker 2: million dollars in rising. But it does once again bring 31 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 2: into question in this absurd business of so called impartiality 32 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 2: or indeed impartiality in different places. Miss latoof as far 33 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 2: as I know, remembering she only had a five day 34 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 2: contract and I think she had only completed two of 35 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 2: the five days, didn't actually do anything wrong on air 36 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 2: at the ABC. Her social media is not the domain 37 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 2: of her part time employer, or is it. And if 38 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 2: it is, where's the line in a social media world 39 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 2: what is work and what is not? When it comes 40 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 2: to profile? Can you be pro Palestinian on the weekend 41 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 2: but neutral during the week. This is the absurdity of 42 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 2: what we deal with. Authenticity, I think is the key here. 43 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 2: You can be balanced in reportage and hold an overt 44 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 2: view the same way you can hold an overt view 45 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 2: and be imbalanced. The great fraud that has been exposed 46 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 2: in media all over the world, but especially here in 47 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 2: the labor COVID years, is the idea that you can 48 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 2: pretend you hold no view and whatever you produce is balanced, 49 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 2: even when most of the consumers see it for what 50 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 2: it really is. That essentially is why so much media 51 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 2: and credibility has been destroyed. And that's the stuff that 52 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 2: didn't even make it to court. News of the world 53 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 2: in ninety seconds, Can I toe where they talk war 54 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 2: and Jackson five percent? Oh, and the business of the 55 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: Sea spire. 56 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 3: They're both tired, exhausted. They've fought very very hard and 57 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 3: very viciously, very violently, and they were both satisfied to 58 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 3: go home and get out and can it start? And again, 59 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 3: I guess someday it can. It could maybe start soon. 60 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 2: Still some fascination from the media that a president might swear. 61 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 4: Let him fight for about two or three minutes. 62 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 3: Then it's easier to start. 63 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 2: Up, and then daddy has sometimes to do a strong 64 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 2: language in school. 65 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 4: Strong you have to use a certain word. 66 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 2: Deaddie has to do strong language. That guy's the head 67 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 2: of NATO, by the way. He's got like an important job. 68 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 2: Has Zakiya, who's busy telling his fellow Brits at the 69 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 2: moment they need to be ready for war. He's all 70 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 2: over more spinding. 71 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 5: We estimate that we will reach at least four point 72 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 5: one percent of GDP in twenty twenty seven, keeping the 73 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 5: British people safe and strengthening our leadership in NATO. 74 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 2: Even further back in around the cease fires a bit 75 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 2: of a misfire. 76 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 6: We will crush their mic he says, will throw a 77 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 6: punch into the mouths of the United States and Desigonists. 78 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 6: Now we're obeying the commands of the Supreme Leader, she says. 79 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 6: If he orders jihad, we will follow. We should have 80 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 6: finished the story. We should have totally wiped out Israel Jeez. 81 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 2: In Kenya, they're marking a year since they stormed the parliament. 82 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 2: They stormed the parliament because they're really unhappy. So a 83 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 2: year on there. No, it's not a celebration. 84 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: For the job that we don't have the for everything 85 00:03:58,960 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: that we don't have. 86 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 7: We are having economic raise up. 87 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: Man. 88 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 6: We are youths for the youths man.

Fifteen past six Jmi Welf Andrew Kellerho good morning, 126 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 2: Very good morning, Mike. That inflation in Australia yesterday was 127 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 2: a very very good one, wasn't it. 128 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 5: Yeah? 129 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 9: It was it was. Hey, my son's at Glastonbury apparently, 130 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 9: so I'm going to hear all about it. Hey, yeah, 131 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 9: not much happening in New Zealm. 132 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 10: Yesterday we had some good trade numbers, just confirming that 133 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 10: strong environment for our exports and week inports. So a 134 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 10: good trade simplis, yes, But across the Tasman might a 135 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 10: good inflation number. It fell by more than expected across 136 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 10: the ditch, so equaling the lowest rate in I think 137 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 10: almost four years now. This is the monthly figure, it's 138 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 10: not the more sort of important quarterly figure. So the 139 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 10: monthly figure for May released by Australian Bureau of Statistics, 140 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 10: so May two point one percent annual inflation in April 141 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 10: that was at two point four, so quite a material 142 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 10: shift lower, and inflation well under market expectations of two 143 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 10: point three percent. 144 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 11: Now. 145 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 10: The Reserve Bank of Australia, their preferred measure is what 146 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 10: they call the trimmed mean measure, which smooths out volatile items, 147 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 10: also fell three and a half year low. 148 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 9: That went to two point four from two point eight. 149 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 10: So the interesting thing here, Mike is that they're sort 150 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 10: of our inflation figure at the moment is. 151 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 9: Moving in the other direction, so. 152 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 10: We're sort of looking at our inflation drifting back up 153 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 10: towards three percent, that's falling over there, you got big 154 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 10: falls and discretionary goods things like garments, recreation, fuel prices 155 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 10: were lower that a couple of categories they even saw deflation. 156 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 10: Insurance prices are moderating. So it does point to downside 157 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 10: risk in forecast estimate forecasts for Q two inflation. And 158 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 10: what it does do, Mike, is it opens the door 159 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 10: to a higher possibility of an interest rate cut to 160 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 10: the RBA cash rate sitting at three point eight five 161 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 10: percent bit higher than ours, a number of the bigger 162 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 10: banks now forecasting a rate cut in July. 163 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 9: And the back the backdrop, I think, Mike, you might 164 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 9: have been talking about this a few days ago. 165 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 10: The economy over there starting to look a little bit 166 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 10: weaker and we're sort of seeing that in demand as well. 167 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 10: So they're in inflation falling while ours is sort of 168 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 10: creeping up now zero. 169 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 2: I still like to think, O, there's New Zealand, But 170 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 2: is it a bit far lap pablover or are they 171 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 2: still genuinely in New Zealand. 172 00:07:59,600 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 9: I don't know. 173 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 10: We could debate this one, couldn't we I mean, it 174 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 10: may not be listed on the ENDS Index anymore. It 175 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 10: decamped to the ASX back in twenty eighteen. But I 176 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 10: still think we very much view Zero as being in 177 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 10: New Zealand business and big news out there for them yesterday. 178 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 9: Key area of growth was there. 179 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 10: Obviously, they dominate in New Zealand and Australia and they've 180 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,679 Speaker 10: been trying to expand this global expansion, but the US 181 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 10: market very key and they've even now got the CEO 182 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 10: and other senior leadership PIP actually based up in California. 183 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 8: Now. 184 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 10: Yesterday they announced their intention to purchase a business called 185 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 10: Medio Payments. Now it's a Silicon Valley startup. It provides 186 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 10: payment software to small businesses and food, beverage, construction industries. 187 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 10: This is all about alerating their growth into the US market. 188 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 10: The reason we're talking about is Mike. It is a 189 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 10: big deal. This is an audacious move. It is a 190 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 10: two and a half billion US two and a half 191 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 10: billion dollar transaction. To do this, Zero is conducting a 192 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 10: two billion dollar institutional placement of shares over there. This 193 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 10: is a very chunky placement and bearing in mind Medio 194 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 10: it's only I think the business is only seven years old, 195 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 10: so being sold for two and a half billion dollars. 196 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 10: It doesn't generate a profit. They're paying a multiple on 197 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 10: revenue to buy this. So they've got to place ten 198 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 10: and a half million new zero shares out into the 199 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 10: institutional market. Adds around seven percent of the shares on issue. 200 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 10: They're doing it at a sort of a nine point 201 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 10: four percent discount to the closing price in June twenty 202 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 10: four that was one hundred nine and lots of New 203 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 10: Zealanders will still be zero shareholders.

There's gonna be a lot of 206 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 10: focus on this because this is a this is a 207 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 10: big move. 208 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 9: This is a big move. 209 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 10: Hopefully it accelerates their their expansion into the US. 210 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 9: Will watch this one with a great deal of. 211 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 2: Interest, I hope so to in virgin Well I mentioned 212 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 2: briefly yesterday, but I assume they carried on yesterday.

As I suppose we all are 334 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 2: in a weird and wonderful sort of vibe that will 335 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 2: go there shortly twenty three minutes away from seven. Big 336 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 2: call from the government as they override the Augland Council 337 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 2: around future building. So as part of the CRL which 338 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 2: is the big you know train and new train stations 339 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 2: that come with it, they want up to fifteen story 340 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 2: buildings around them so we can all train to work 341 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 2: and live like we're in New York.

So a couple of stories here 345 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 2: won the height and you know whether or not you 346 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 2: want to go out or up. And two the fact 347 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 2: that now central government seems to be running a city 348 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 2: and overriding a local council. Deal with the first one first. 349 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 2: If they build it, will they come. 350 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 7: I suspect, so certainly it helps. I mean, all you've 351 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 7: got to do is look at many of the European 352 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 7: city examples, places like Glasgow in London and so on, 353 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 7: where you know, you get these little community groups built 354 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:21,359 Speaker 7: around these train stations that yeah, they create a microcosm 355 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 7: of existence in the city and they facilitate smooth travel. 356 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 2: All right. The other part of the fact Wellington's running 357 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 2: Auckland not Auckland running Auckland. Is that an issue. 358 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 7: Oh, that's a massive political issue for sure, racing certainty. 359 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 7: I mean that you just know that it's going to 360 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 7: cause problems when because we're going to end up with 361 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 7: the classic sort of Nimbi type of arguments that are 362 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 7: going to hove interview straight away. Why have we got 363 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 7: to have it here? You know, who's going to fund this, 364 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 7: How is it going to impact everybody else in the area, 365 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 7: what's going to happen to local house prices, et cetera, 366 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 7: et cetera. 367 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 2: And then we go down the text argument, which I 368 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 2: think label into I'm not sure this current lot are 369 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 2: that if you lose in close proximity to something they 370 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 2: would regard as magic, like a train, you get text. 371 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 2: More is that where we're hitting. 372 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 7: My strong suspicion is that it's likely to go that way. 373 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 7: You know that there is no doubt about the fact 374 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 7: that there is massive utility associated with being close to 375 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 7: a railway station, with easy access to the city center 376 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 7: and all those sorts of things. There is no doubt 377 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 7: about that. Inevitably that's going to you know, put pressure 378 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 7: on taxation levels. You know, obviously I was going to 379 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 7: say council tax not council tax rating rating. Sorry, And 380 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 7: you know that's that's inevitably going to be a consideration 381 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 7: and a concern. 382 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 2: Do you have any sense of a timeframe on this, 383 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 2: because I'm sure we've been talking about infrastructure in thirty 384 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 2: year plans and tall buildings and railway stations and living 385 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 2: like Wilburam Paris forever. 386 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 7: Well, let's put this way, just the simple proposition of consent, 387 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 7: a fifteen story building in the middle of a city 388 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 7: is not something that's a five minute undertaking, and even 389 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 7: and then when you build it, you know you're talking 390 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 7: a couple of years. So my suspicion is that this 391 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 7: is going to be at least a decade type of 392 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 7: undertaking to see any sort of measurable mass urban identification 393 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:20,959 Speaker 7: around these sort of railheads. 394 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 2: So don't hold your brith. John appreciate.

What you've got to understand, The 435 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 2: America's Cup funding was for sport. It was a sporting 436 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 2: event recognized as a sporting event, if not a tourism event. 437 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 2: This funding is a welfare fund designed to uplift poor 438 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 2: people in ethnic communities.

Have you spotted somebody famous? 450 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 15: I have been scouring the city today, the city of Venice. 451 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 15: I'm in Venice for the Bezos wedding. I was camped 452 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 15: outside their hotel. The beautiful Amman Hotel overlooking the Grand 453 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 15: Hotel at the Grand Canal, and they showed up as 454 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 15: soon as I left, so I missed their arrival. But 455 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 15: I have to say that hotel has completely shrouded in 456 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 15: secrecy and the security guards are working over time to 457 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 15: keep the media far away. 458 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 2: Okay, if it's Venus small enough that if I just 459 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 2: happen to be there wandering around, I would see something 460 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 2: associated with this event or not. 461 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 15: Well, so far we've really seen too much. I noticed 462 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 15: that the water taxis are fully booked and the gondoliers 463 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 15: are very busy on their gondolas, but there are also 464 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 15: plenty of regular tourists here, so it hasn't been really 465 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:08,360 Speaker 15: evident so far seeing the HOYPELOI dare I say, except 466 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 15: for the superyochts. We're seeing those massive superyachts docked in 467 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 15: the Judeca Canal in front of Saint Mark's Square, and 468 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 15: some of those are just worth millions, hundreds of millions 469 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 15: of dollars, and it's quite spectacular to see them. 470 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 2: See how much? What do you reckon? What's your observation? See? 471 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 2: But the thing that upsets me, I mean, look, I'm 472 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,719 Speaker 2: I don't know Jeff b souces with a girlfriend from 473 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 2: a bar recite. But what I do know is Venice 474 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 2: is a tourist town, and they are tourists, and they 475 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 2: are spending like the snow tomorrow. And yet we see 476 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 2: these pro and they're not only that, but leware gifts, 477 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 2: they're giving, donating large amounts of money to various organizations 478 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 2: around the Venetian area. And yet we see these protesters. 479 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 2: You know, what, who do they represent? How many people 480 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 2: do they represent? 481 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 15: Yeah, well, you know, I don't know whether it's rent 482 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 15: a crowd, you know, but some of these protesters did 483 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 15: campaign to stop the big cruise ships coming into the canal, 484 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 15: and I think that was probably a positive. But they're 485 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 15: saying that the little people have been forgotten here, that 486 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 15: people are struggling to survive on those lower wages, they 487 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 15: struggle to get some public housing. The current mayor is Brunaro, 488 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 15: is under investigation for corruption. So they're just they're feeling 489 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 15: a little bit disconvoluted with some of the deals that 490 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 15: have been done to bring this wedding here. Having said that, 491 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 15: you're absolutely right, they're bringing hundreds of millions of dollars 492 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 15: worth of business into Venice right now and at that 493 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 15: luxury level. 494 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 2: Now, let's talk about the war, the world and all 495 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 2: its woes and worries. NATO five percent? Can Italy do it? 496 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,360 Speaker 15: Georgia Maloney, the Italian Prime Minister, says it is possible, 497 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 15: It is affordable for Italy and there is flexibility to 498 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 15: achieve those goals. That means raising defense spending to five 499 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 15: percent by twenty thirty five. I noticed that Spain got 500 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 15: a bit of a free kick there. They don't have 501 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 15: to seem to meet though targets. It wouldn't surprise me 502 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 15: if the Italians are going to did all the figures 503 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 15: a little bit to prove that they're actually meeting these goals. 504 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 15: But for right now, she says it is doable and 505 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 15: she's willing to be flexible. 506 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 2: Joe, you have a very fine So how long you're there? 507 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 2: Put your hanging out? When is actually the wedding? When's 508 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 2: the actual wedding day? 509 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 15: Nobody is telling us, but we think it might be Friday. 510 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 2: Okay, so you're there. It's Wednesday there at the moment, 511 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 2: So you're there for another couple of days. 512 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 15: Yeah, it's great. 513 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 2: How hot? 514 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 15: It's great, very hot, it's very humid, and you know, 515 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 15: it's very swampy in Venice, as we all know. And 516 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 15: at least we have a little bit of a breeze, 517 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 15: but I think come July that breeze is going to 518 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:36,479 Speaker 15: disappear completely. 519 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,719 Speaker 2: Okay, nice to talk, have a good time, James Lay, 520 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 2: who is in Venice for us this morning. I've got 521 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 2: to get to This New York story is not going 522 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 2: to get covered here the way it should. But I 523 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 2: was deeply affected by being in San Francisco a couple 524 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 2: of years ago. I've been in San Francisco a number 525 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 2: of times and watched it over the years basically disintegrate 526 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 2: into what really is a third world backwater. And it's 527 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 2: been made to third World backwater by the fact that 528 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 2: they elected one again democracy. The fascinating subject of they 529 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 2: elect far left radicals who defund the police, allow drugs 530 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 2: to go rampant, crime to go rampant, and everyone just 531 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,719 Speaker 2: basically packs up in leaves town. So I was very 532 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,479 Speaker 2: sad to read yesterday from the Telegraph in Britain the 533 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 2: headline New York is flirting with an economic catastrophe, and 534 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 2: it looked as a result of the election yesterday that 535 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 2: catastrophe is about to come real, So I'll crunch the numbers. 536 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 2: But in a moment ten to seven. 537 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking breakfast with Alveda Retirement Communities News. 538 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 2: Togstad be Zoran Mandami is his name. And yesterday they 539 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 2: had the primary for the Democratic side of the equation 540 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 2: for the New York meryoral race. Cuomo, former governor Crooked, 541 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 2: was making a comeback. He lost forty four to thirty six. 542 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 2: Just to explain briefly, they rank candidates the eleven of them. 543 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 2: You get to rank your top five in the first 544 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,719 Speaker 2: round forty four to thirty six. He lost. He conceded defeat. 545 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 2: They will now over the next week count the rest. 546 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 2: In other words, three four and five, distribute those votes 547 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 2: around the place. Cuomo will still have lost. This guy's won. 548 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 2: Who is this guy? Well, extra two percent income tax 549 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 2: on anyone earning more than a million bucks. He's doubling 550 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 2: down on rent controls that are already very tight, raises 551 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 2: the minimum wage, pushes up the city's top rate of 552 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 2: the corporate tax, the top federal tax from seven point 553 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 2: twenty five to eleven point five percent. Is going to 554 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 2: launch government run grocery shops, introduce free childcare across the city. 555 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 2: He is from not just the left, but the left 556 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 2: of the left of the left. He was endorsed by 557 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 2: Bernie Sanders, Letitia James. She's a very large black woman 558 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 2: who's the attorney general, who was after Trump or Carsio 559 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 2: Cortez loves are cannot get enough of this guy. So 560 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 2: he looks to be because New York's democratic city, the 561 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 2: winner of a race that's going to be held in November. 562 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 2: The only saving grace could be that Cuomo may probably 563 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 2: won't but may try to run as an independent. So 564 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 2: New York will be run by a radical nut job. 565 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 2: And you look to Portland, you look to San Francisco. 566 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 2: He might be about to watch a lot of business 567 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 2: leave New York. He might be about to watch a 568 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 2: lot of New Yorkers continue to leave New York and 569 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 2: head to Florida. He might be about to ruin one 570 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 2: of the great cities of the world. Hence, you should 571 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 2: read the piece yesterday from the Telegraph that it's on 572 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 2: the edge New York of a financial catastrophe. But it 573 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 2: is democracy. And they had the opportunity to vote for 574 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 2: a radical nut job yesterday, and they blind up and 575 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 2: they did so five minutes away from seven. 576 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 4: Well, the inns are the outs. It's the bizz with 577 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 4: business fiber. Take your business productivity to the next level. 578 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 2: Now do some good news when New Zealand andk or 579 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 2: reasonably good news. They've had to look around the directors 580 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 2: of this country. They think our economic green shoots are real. 581 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 2: This is the Institute of Director's Pulse Check survey. Fourteen 582 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 2: hundred directors, so over half fifty five say they're optimistic 583 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 2: about the economy and the recovery is on saying I'm 584 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 2: very pleased to hear that, because there are a lot 585 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,919 Speaker 2: of question marks around this. At the moment, confidence is 586 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 2: tempered to a degree. Only thirty percent of boards have 587 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 2: budgeted for an improved financial performance this year. Thirty seven 588 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,400 Speaker 2: percent expected a similar result of last year. Twenty three 589 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 2: percent say their financial position would get worse. Government impact. 590 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 2: What do they make of the government impact on the economy? 591 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,880 Speaker 2: Majority are on the fence half forty nine percent Government's 592 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 2: legislative program neutral, thirty five percent say it will help 593 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 2: the economy, sixteen percent say it's having a nevigat and 594 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 2: negative effect. Who will it help the most primary sector? 595 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,199 Speaker 2: Of course, everyone loves a farmer fire. I mean they're booming. 596 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 2: Seventy percent say the primary sector will continue to be 597 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 2: the driver of economic recovery. The other thirty percent, so 598 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 2: manufacturing in urban industries will be. So that's that's your 599 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 2: economy check or economic check. This morning, right after seven o'clock, 600 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 2: we will be dealing with a couple of things Farner 601 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 2: Aura and there's business of electioneering and paying Tama Eaty 602 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 2: to sit there for thirty minutes and convince you to 603 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 2: go on the Mari roll once again. Farna Aura is 604 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 2: supposed to be uplifting the Mari community. And that's before 605 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 2: we get to the developing scandal, which is Farna Aura, 606 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 2: through one of their agencies as funding professional rugby. How 607 00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 2: that uplifts an impoverished community. I've got no idea, but 608 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 2: nevertheless you and I are payingful this nonsense. So we'll 609 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 2: deal with that. Chris Bushop will talk to him in 610 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,719 Speaker 2: part about that because he used to be the Minister 611 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 2: of Sport. James May is back on the program and 612 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 2: we were right when we left you yesterday. I said, 613 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 2: I am how long have been since James May was 614 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 2: on the program, And I said two to three years? 615 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,959 Speaker 2: And as Glenn quite rightly pointed out that almost certainly 616 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 2: means it was six, because that's how my mind works. 617 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 2: And as it turns out, it was six, it was 618 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen. So we'll well overed you for a catch up. 619 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 2: James May with us after eight o'clock. News is next 620 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 2: on the Mike Hosking Breakfast. 621 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 4: News, Opinion and everything in between. 622 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: The mic hosting breakfast were the Defender Doctor the most 623 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: Powerful Defender ever made, and News togs Head been. 624 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 2: Tip and past seven. So here we go again. The 625 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 2: Finance Minister's written this morning another letter to the supermarket's 626 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 2: food stuff says plead guilty as I'm sure you're aware 627 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 2: of a couple of breaches of inaccurate pricing. Warlworths is 628 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 2: facing apparently similar charges. Nicola Willis's with us a very 629 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 2: good morning to you. Good morning, I you the Finance 630 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 2: minister who cried wolf. 631 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 13: No. I have the same basic expectation that every keyw 632 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 13: shopper has, which is some pretty basic things you have 633 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,719 Speaker 13: to do under the law as a retailer. One is 634 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 13: make sure that the prices that you say on the 635 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 13: shelf are the prices that pay at the till. Our 636 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 13: supermarkets are some of the most sophisticated, well funded retailers 637 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 13: that there are. And the fact that in twenty twenty 638 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 13: five they are pleading guilty in the case of some 639 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 13: food stuff's North Island pack and saves to not meeting 640 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 13: there's pricing obligations under the Fair Trading Act. To me 641 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 13: just isn't good enough. And I shouldn't have to point 642 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 13: that out marketing, No, you should. I shouldn't be having 643 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 13: to write a letter to say, come on, guys, sort 644 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 13: it out. 645 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 2: Are you leveraging this? I mean, look, I'm not defending 646 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 2: the supermarkets, but I mean these are It's a very 647 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 2: complex business pricing a million different products. It doesn't excuse it, 648 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 2: but I'm just saying, this is not your main point. 649 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 2: Your main point is competition in the supermarket area. Are 650 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 2: you leveraging this thing for your own political gain? 651 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 13: The reason I am doing this is because the supermarkets 652 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 13: have said to me again and again, and they've said 653 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 13: publicly that they do everything they can to be good 654 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 13: providers of a supermarket service. So when I see that 655 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 13: it doesn't look like that, I think I should call 656 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 13: it out because actually my responsibility under the Grocery Act 657 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 13: is to make sure that they're doing all of the 658 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 13: right things you'd expect of a competitive player and a 659 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 13: well functioning market. Now this to me doesn't look right, 660 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 13: and so I am calling it out. And I think 661 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 13: that you know, sunlight is great disinfectant, which is let's 662 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,239 Speaker 13: talk about it. They can explain it. They can come 663 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 13: on your show and tell you why it's fine that 664 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 13: someone is paying a different price than they were told 665 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 13: they were going to pay. But I've said to them, look, 666 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 13: tell me what you're doing to sort it out. Sort 667 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 13: it out quickly. And by the way, the fines under 668 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 13: the Fear Trading Act in New Zealand are a lot 669 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 13: lower than they are in Australia, and I've been advised 670 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 13: that it can be quite hard to do a prosecution 671 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 13: under our future Act. So it's only sensible that I 672 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 13: look at that and say, well, do we need to 673 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 13: lift the fines to be more like other countries? Do 674 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 13: we need to make it easier to prosecute you for 675 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 13: breaches of them? 676 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 2: But it's these regulatory leaders you talk of in the letter. 677 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 2: You talk a lot of threats. Do you threaten too 678 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 2: much and act not enough? 679 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 13: No, It's been my experience in life that when you 680 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 13: give people an opportunity to fix things themselves before you 681 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 13: force them to do it, when they've got good intent, 682 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 13: they take that opportunity. And in this case, the surfermarkets 683 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 13: have set again and again, look, we've got good intent, 684 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 13: we're trying to do the right things. Don't come at 685 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 13: us with the red tape. And I said, okay, well 686 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 13: I'll meet you where you are and i will take 687 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 13: that approach. And so in this case, I've set out 688 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 13: my concerns very clearly. I've just said basic things, Mike. 689 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 13: I've said, look, make sure that you've got actually modern 690 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 13: technology in your shops so that there aren't these pricing discrepancies. 691 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 13: Make sure you've got a proper refund policy and advertise 692 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 13: it now and will worth case, the policy is meant 693 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 13: to be if you get overcharged, not only do you 694 00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 13: get a refund, but you get to keep whatever it 695 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 13: you want i'ver charged for. Well, advertise that policy and 696 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 13: everyone should have that policy. And then a pretty basic thing, 697 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 13: which is do some staff training so that if someone 698 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 13: makes a complaint about having been overcharged, that there is 699 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 13: actually a correction for that overcharging for everyone else who 700 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 13: might be impacted, not just the individual right, simple stuff. 701 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 2: Yes, it is other matters. Are you aware of the 702 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 2: second leg of the farner or a scandal around professional 703 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 2: rugby this morning? 704 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 13: Look, I have only briefly read that piece this morning. 705 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 13: I have not been read on it. But at first blush, 706 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 13: there seem to be two things to me. One, sport 707 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 13: in New Zealand under the last government chose to give 708 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 13: that entity some loans. I don't know much about that. 709 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 13: But then second, it appears that the funer or a 710 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 13: commissioning agency has been using its funds to sponsor this 711 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 13: rugby team. And for me, same question I have of 712 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 13: every social service provider what is the impact for the 713 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 13: people whose lives that money is meant to proof? 714 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 2: Why are they allowed to do it? 715 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 13: Well, as I say, I have literally read that piece 716 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 13: this morning in real time, and I think you're asking 717 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 13: a very good question. 718 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 2: Why is Mary Pecker Rokawa Take still in work? And 719 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 2: this goes back to yesterday's scandal she's also involved with 720 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 2: with tama et Mari. Issues don't come to the fore 721 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 2: and mainstream political parties. Hence we need to spend more 722 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 2: of our taxpayers money convincing people to be on the 723 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 2: Maori roll. How does she hold a job down like that? 724 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 13: Well, in terms of yesterday's revelations, you'll be aware that 725 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 13: the Minister forefuno Aura has asked immediately for an investigation 726 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 13: to happen into that, and so well, I'll await ats findings. 727 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,359 Speaker 2: Do we need an investigation into sponsoring professional rugby teams? 728 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:51,359 Speaker 7: Ah? 729 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 13: Look suddenly, it was my plan to get on the 730 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 13: phone to come up Attaka this morning and say, right, 731 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 13: tell me about this. 732 00:34:58,200 --> 00:34:59,320 Speaker 2: Is he asleep at the wheel? 733 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 13: No he is not. Actually, he's made pretty significant changes 734 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 13: to farno Ura which I think are going to strengthen 735 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 13: that program considerably, essentially putting much more of an emphasis 736 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 13: on demonstrating the outcomes that occur as a result of 737 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,320 Speaker 13: those contracts in ways that are more evidence and data. 738 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,839 Speaker 2: Basically, could we just join some dots for now, though 739 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 2: even though you've just read the story, I only just 740 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 2: read it this morning as well, that the chances of 741 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:30,359 Speaker 2: the Pacific community being materially, medically, financially or in any 742 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:35,760 Speaker 2: other way uplifted by the sponsorship of Moana Pacifica is zero. 743 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 2: We know it's zero, and yet they spent millions of 744 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:39,279 Speaker 2: dollars on it. 745 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 13: Well, I'm sure that there are lots of people who 746 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 13: love Wana pacifica. It's possible it inspires some people to 747 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,720 Speaker 13: play rugby and playing sport and doing stuff is healthy. 748 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 13: But I want to see Farno or a money resulting 749 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 13: in people in jobs, attending school, getting training, not ending 750 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 13: up in court, getting their kids immunised, having less family violence, 751 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 13: all of the things we know cost individuals, families in society. 752 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 2: But here's your problem, Yes they are, here's your problem politically. 753 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:11,800 Speaker 2: You said you get rid of this race based nonsense 754 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 2: and you haven't. You're a year and a half and 755 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 2: we're still uncovering this. This is a scandal. 756 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,439 Speaker 13: Well, Mike, here's the thing. Here is an organization which 757 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,240 Speaker 13: in that article it is revealed has been receiving funds 758 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 13: and we found out about how they are using those funds. 759 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 13: This is a few steps removed immediately from the minister. 760 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 13: There is now information needs to be dealt with properly. 761 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 13: But as the thing is, we're eighteen months in. We 762 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 13: haven't turned every rock over yet, and I guarantee you 763 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,360 Speaker 13: there is going to be more stuff like this because 764 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:46,240 Speaker 13: the last lot we're absolutely spraying the money hose around 765 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 13: Nicola at some point. 766 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 2: My patient, Look, my patient's running is starting to run 767 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,400 Speaker 2: thin on this this whole let's blame the previous government 768 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 2: is wearing thin. You've had a year and a half. 769 00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 2: There are millions of dollars at stake in a country 770 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 2: that has no money, and this is this is a joke, 771 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 2: and you're doing the old well the laws, government fire 772 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,799 Speaker 2: hose line. How about you own some of this and 773 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 2: do something about it. 774 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 13: Well, if this was a direct decision by a government agency, 775 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,800 Speaker 13: I take your point. Actually this is a step removed. 776 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 13: I read about it in the paper today. Test us, 777 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 13: Mike on how we react to it and what the 778 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 13: next steps are we've just found out today. 779 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,359 Speaker 2: All right, appreciate time. Nichola willis so what I don't 780 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 2: know what hat she was wearing on that senior government 781 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 2: minister in charge of wasting our money. Fourteen past seven. 782 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:36,360 Speaker 1: The High Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 783 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 1: by News Talk, said. 784 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,160 Speaker 2: B James May for catch up after right on the 785 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 2: program eighteen past seven. Now, the government has more trouble 786 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 2: around the race issues, as you've just heard a moment ago, 787 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:46,880 Speaker 2: not only the rugby this morning, but yesterday it was 788 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,280 Speaker 2: a business Afarner, or of the Marii Roll. Graham Edgeler 789 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 2: is a constitutional law expert and is with us Graham morning. 790 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 16: To you, good morning. 791 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,720 Speaker 2: We've got some good clear law around this or not really? 792 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 16: Well, yes and no, the law isn't really complicated about this. 793 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 8: The question is. 794 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,360 Speaker 16: What money actually is this. This is the funnel or 795 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 16: commissioning agency, which is private. It's not part of the government, 796 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,280 Speaker 16: and so can spend its own money how it likes. 797 00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 16: The question is is it spending its own money? And 798 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,319 Speaker 16: that's the question we don't have the answer to. 799 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 2: Will we get to the bottom of that. Do you 800 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 2: think can public money become private money or whatever? 801 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 8: Maybe? 802 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:28,400 Speaker 16: Possibly, depending they've got a contract with various government agencies 803 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 16: to provide certain things, and they've got to use their 804 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 16: money for those things and not use it for certain things. 805 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,319 Speaker 16: I don't know what those contracts say, but hopefully that's 806 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 16: what Time of Partaker is looking into. You know what 807 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 16: money is actually used here? Because if the answer is well, 808 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 16: this private organization is using its own money, you know, 809 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,840 Speaker 16: to fund this, well, if anyone's allowed. 810 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,359 Speaker 2: To do that, sure, exactly, But if it's public money. 811 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:54,360 Speaker 2: Rokaua Tite argues that Marii issues are not raised or 812 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 2: come to the fore in a major party. Therefore you 813 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 2: should be on the political role of the man party. 814 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 2: That's electioneering, isn't it? No trying to convince somebody, it's 815 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:11,240 Speaker 2: trying to convince somebody in the electoral process. Is not electioneering. 816 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 7: Or it is? 817 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 16: But do you're allowed to action there? You know, people 818 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 16: spend money, vote for me, vote for them, don't vote 819 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 16: for them all the time. 820 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,799 Speaker 2: So what you're arguing is because they're private, they can 821 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 2: do it. If if they were a public enterity with 822 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,640 Speaker 2: public money. Government departments can't electioneer. 823 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 16: Correct, And so the question is whose money is this 824 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 16: and what agreements did they have? You know, we're using 825 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,880 Speaker 16: this money to fund your vaccines or we're using this 826 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 16: money to fund an enrollment drive. You know, because the 827 00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 16: Maori option thing closes with nearly three months until the 828 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 16: local elections, and so at that point you can't switch 829 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 16: role anymore. And so when that happens that the government, 830 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,879 Speaker 16: the Electoral Comission's got something going on. Change your role 831 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 16: by ten July I think it is three months before 832 00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 16: the election. 833 00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 2: Okay, So we will find out within the contracts. The 834 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 2: detail will be in the contracts. Appreciate your expertise as always, 835 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 2: Graham Mitcheler, who's constitutional law expert. That's before we come 836 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,680 Speaker 2: to another problem that was raised this week by the 837 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 2: Retirement Commissioner. More shortly seven twenty. 838 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 839 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:17,760 Speaker 1: by News Talk ZIB. 840 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 2: Well, lately you heard on ZIB that your healthy home 841 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 2: isn't complete without the old DBS, and this is true. 842 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 2: But if you're not exactly sure what it is or 843 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:28,799 Speaker 2: what the difference of the DVS can make in your home, 844 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,280 Speaker 2: we can do this for you right now. So basically 845 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,960 Speaker 2: it's about ventilating every room in your home. So what 846 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 2: you're getting filtered fresh air in and you're taking the 847 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,680 Speaker 2: staleia and you're knocking it out. It's a preventative basically 848 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:43,080 Speaker 2: against mold, milldview windows crying with condensation. And it's been 849 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:46,400 Speaker 2: able to enjoy basically a dryer, healthier home in all 850 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,799 Speaker 2: kinds of weather anywhere in the country. And we're thirty 851 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 2: years of experienced DVS knows ventilation better than anyone of course, 852 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,400 Speaker 2: so you can join the thousands of Kiwis who's experienced 853 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,800 Speaker 2: the DVS difference every day and if you're planning on building, 854 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,439 Speaker 2: DBS has a new solution for new homes as well. 855 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 2: So basically, say yes to DVS. Your healthy home is 856 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:07,440 Speaker 2: not complete without it. Eight hundred VSDBS Easy to Remember 857 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,839 Speaker 2: eight hundred DBSDBS or online at DBS dot co dot 858 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:14,000 Speaker 2: nz on Ski Tiven twenty four from the We Can't 859 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,239 Speaker 2: Get Out of Our Own wavefile comes The question has 860 00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,799 Speaker 2: posed this week by the Retirement Commissioner as to whether 861 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:21,400 Speaker 2: the people who have money in the bank should get 862 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,279 Speaker 2: the pension. Now, the first part that is wrong with 863 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 2: that is I thought we'd decided many a decade ago, 864 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:32,360 Speaker 2: rightly or wrongly, super is an entitlement. It's trigger rightly 865 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,640 Speaker 2: or wrongly is age. Therefore, the other criteria that you 866 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,240 Speaker 2: might like to at a later stage add to the equation, 867 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,360 Speaker 2: I don't know, height, weight, job, brain power, or savings 868 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,880 Speaker 2: are null and void because age is what triggers it. 869 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:47,719 Speaker 2: So are we changing that? Are we all of a 870 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 2: sudden because that's the inference in the question. The inference 871 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,400 Speaker 2: is also the sneering socialist bent that some people have 872 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,120 Speaker 2: around success. Well, don't be too successful, and that's what 873 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,399 Speaker 2: savings generally are. You had a plan, you worked hard, 874 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:02,240 Speaker 2: you put a few dollars aside. Interestingly, the numbers are depressing. 875 00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 2: This is where the question comes from. There are three 876 00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 2: or thirty three thousand who were in each year between 877 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,439 Speaker 2: one hundred and two hundred thousand dollars a year, nine 878 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:12,719 Speaker 2: more than two hundred thousand. Now that's actually not a 879 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,040 Speaker 2: lot of people. It shows you how poorly paid we 880 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:16,920 Speaker 2: are in this country, how bad at saving we are, 881 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:18,800 Speaker 2: how expensive life is. To stop your saving in the 882 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:20,840 Speaker 2: first place. Whole bunch of stuff leads us to not 883 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 2: being a very well off sort of country. Personally, I've 884 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,080 Speaker 2: said this many many times. I'm not fast to do 885 00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,879 Speaker 2: whatever you want with superannuation. I didn't join KEYI saver. 886 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 2: I'm not relying on a pension. Why Because when I 887 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,200 Speaker 2: started working nineteen eighty two it was very well established 888 00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,759 Speaker 2: even then that the pension may or may not be 889 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,880 Speaker 2: around at all. So why I take the risk in 890 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,800 Speaker 2: a nineteen eighty two as I was on the minimum wage, 891 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 2: as I basically worked out, I had forty fivesh years 892 00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:47,719 Speaker 2: to get my act together and do something about it. 893 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,920 Speaker 2: The problem with keeping on asking these questions is it 894 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,680 Speaker 2: messes with people and their intentions. Government has been bad 895 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 2: enough already with their constant changing of the rules and 896 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,759 Speaker 2: their contributions. Last thing we need is thought bubbles on 897 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:02,440 Speaker 2: what should be really a long term leave it alone, 898 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 2: get out of the way understanding among us all that 899 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 2: the pension is our society's recognition of a life's work. 900 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,719 Speaker 2: Change the age if you want, but penalizing success is 901 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:16,120 Speaker 2: the opposite of what we want to actually promote. 902 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:17,359 Speaker 8: Mike. 903 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:19,560 Speaker 2: As a reminder, we still have not heard any outcome 904 00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,319 Speaker 2: on the Manaea Mariah investigation. Michael. We got news on 905 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 2: that a couple of weeks ago, was it two or 906 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,759 Speaker 2: three weeks ago? That's gone to the Serious Fraud Office. 907 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,239 Speaker 2: So we await that one with a great deal of interest. Mike, 908 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,239 Speaker 2: your way off the mark with Nichola. They're uncovering and 909 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,640 Speaker 2: dealing with this. It doesn't all come out and the like, 910 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,000 Speaker 2: well they're not this did you not hear the interview? 911 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,479 Speaker 2: They're not uncovering any of it. The media, God bless 912 00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:42,359 Speaker 2: Kate McNamara yet again for the Herald, and she worked 913 00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,359 Speaker 2: with Liam Napier on this one. But the Herald uncovered this. 914 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 2: The government didn't uncover any of it. And as you heard, 915 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,479 Speaker 2: from Nikola Willis. A moment ago it was breaking news 916 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,719 Speaker 2: to her her argument that they're one step removed. I'm 917 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:57,200 Speaker 2: not buying either. Tama Potarker, who seems a likable bloke 918 00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:01,080 Speaker 2: I think, is increasingly being caught out in the whole. 919 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:04,399 Speaker 2: What when did that start? I need an investigation kind 920 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,279 Speaker 2: of fashion. So yesterday's bad enough. You cannot tell me 921 00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,000 Speaker 2: that's not electioneering. And if there's any government money involved 922 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,759 Speaker 2: in that, heads need to roll. And I think, as 923 00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,240 Speaker 2: I've said earlier on the program, I think the Moana 924 00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:19,600 Speaker 2: pacifica thing is actually even worse because farner Or at 925 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:25,000 Speaker 2: its core, is designed to uplift the impoverished, and sponsoring 926 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,640 Speaker 2: a rugby team to the tune of millions does not 927 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:31,320 Speaker 2: and cannot do that anyway. Chris Bishop was the Minister 928 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,680 Speaker 2: of Sport and he's with us after the News, which 929 00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,160 Speaker 2: is next James May, of course after eight as well. 930 00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:41,279 Speaker 1: New Zealand's home for trusted news and views, the Mic 931 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,640 Speaker 1: Hosking Break Bend with Bailey's Real Estate doing real estate 932 00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,839 Speaker 1: differently since nineteen seventy three. 933 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,759 Speaker 2: News Togsdad be Morning, So another crack at the big 934 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,760 Speaker 2: picture infrastructure this morning from the Infrastructure Commission, who's latest 935 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,280 Speaker 2: report tells us we spend too much for very little return. 936 00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,799 Speaker 2: This is a thirty year draft plan. Chris Bishop, Infrastructure 937 00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 2: Ministers with us, good morning, Good morning. The comments yesterday 938 00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,879 Speaker 2: about how useless we are, do you reckon in your 939 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,880 Speaker 2: capacity here and now you can actually move the needle? 940 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,879 Speaker 17: Yes, I do, and I'm intending to do that over 941 00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:14,480 Speaker 17: the next eighteen months. In fact, we've done quite a 942 00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,520 Speaker 17: lot already to improve the system, but there's a long 943 00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,160 Speaker 17: way to go. As you said, it's a thirty year problem. 944 00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,520 Speaker 17: We're in the top ten percent for spend. Everyone says 945 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 17: we don't spend enough. We actually spend a truckload on 946 00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,440 Speaker 17: infrastructure across local and central government. We get very bad 947 00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,080 Speaker 17: value for money from that spind We're in the bottom 948 00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:29,920 Speaker 17: teen percent for value for money in the OECD. 949 00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:30,920 Speaker 7: So we've got to improve. 950 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,680 Speaker 2: So the trams government thing that you talked about yesterday 951 00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,560 Speaker 2: as well, do you think that's real that someone's going 952 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,279 Speaker 2: to pick up and run with your idea? So it's 953 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,359 Speaker 2: not your idea, it's everyone's idea. Do you think that's 954 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:40,360 Speaker 2: real or altruistic? 955 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:41,680 Speaker 10: No? 956 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:42,719 Speaker 7: I think we can do it. 957 00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,000 Speaker 17: And one of the things I talked about yesterday was 958 00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,040 Speaker 17: moving away from the sort of rhetoric that we needed 959 00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:50,440 Speaker 17: by partisan pipeline. We do need that, but I pointed 960 00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,719 Speaker 17: out at the summer yesterday, and I pointed out all 961 00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,040 Speaker 17: the next the things we're going to start in the 962 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:54,880 Speaker 17: next six months. 963 00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:56,960 Speaker 7: If you look at the list, I. 964 00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,360 Speaker 17: Don't reckon any political party in Parliament would disagree with 965 00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,279 Speaker 17: anything that one spending money on. You've got Maling, You've 966 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 17: got Otechi to north of them starting, You've got a 967 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,919 Speaker 17: couple of government capital projects starting. Everyone's going to agree 968 00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:08,279 Speaker 17: on that. 969 00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:09,360 Speaker 7: The issue is not that. 970 00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:12,040 Speaker 17: The issue is reck So the issue is let me. 971 00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,440 Speaker 2: Just counter it for one moment, and I don't want to, 972 00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,759 Speaker 2: but I have to. They will say I want some 973 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,680 Speaker 2: trains and some trolleys and some cycle lanes and I'll 974 00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:21,520 Speaker 2: leg the money for that. And once I'd love to 975 00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,520 Speaker 2: build your road, but now that I've got all that stuff, 976 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,279 Speaker 2: I can't afford your road. And that's how it's going 977 00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:26,160 Speaker 2: to unfold, isn't it. 978 00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:27,520 Speaker 7: I reckon. 979 00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:29,759 Speaker 17: There'll be a bit of debate between the Greens and 980 00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,879 Speaker 17: National and things like that, and labor on on things 981 00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:34,960 Speaker 17: like cycle ways. Right, so national government is never going 982 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,840 Speaker 17: to be as into cycle ways as a green government is, 983 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,719 Speaker 17: for example. So but eighty ninety percent of the part 984 00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 17: one week can agree on. What we do need to 985 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,239 Speaker 17: agree on are things that the people have been saying 986 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,440 Speaker 17: for thirty years we need to do. Focus on a 987 00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,200 Speaker 17: set maintenance. We have neglected that that fl We have 988 00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,880 Speaker 17: rotten hospitals, we've got mold in our schools. You know, 989 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,600 Speaker 17: police station's falling apart around the country because we don't 990 00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,000 Speaker 17: look after what we've already built. So there's the whole 991 00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,719 Speaker 17: range of recommendations in there around that. I'll tell you 992 00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,200 Speaker 17: one thing that shocked me that I learned half of 993 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:06,360 Speaker 17: central government capital intensive agencies do not have an asset register. 994 00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,600 Speaker 17: What I mean by that is they don't even know 995 00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:10,840 Speaker 17: what they own and they don't know what the state 996 00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,840 Speaker 17: of what they own is. Now it's ridiculous when you 997 00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,200 Speaker 17: think about it, because we say the local government and 998 00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:18,520 Speaker 17: they get a bad rap. But we say to local government, 999 00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:20,960 Speaker 17: this is legislated. You've got to do a ten year 1000 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,560 Speaker 17: capital plan, you've got to do a long term asset 1001 00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,279 Speaker 17: maintenance plan, and there are some performance standards you've got 1002 00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,560 Speaker 17: to meet. We don't even do this, do that for 1003 00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,280 Speaker 17: ourselves in central government. 1004 00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:31,680 Speaker 7: So things like that. It's got to change. 1005 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,720 Speaker 2: Tell you what is changing, and congratulations this fifteen stories 1006 00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,600 Speaker 2: in Auckland. That's sort of overriding councils. Get them out 1007 00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:41,080 Speaker 2: of the way, get on with this stuff. But is 1008 00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,200 Speaker 2: someone wanting to live on floor thirteen next to a 1009 00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,479 Speaker 2: railway station? If you build it, will they come? 1010 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,000 Speaker 17: Absolutely, there's a huge demand out there. It's not going 1011 00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,399 Speaker 17: to happen straight away like it's you know, we're going 1012 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:53,920 Speaker 17: to make the council do it, and they'll do it 1013 00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,560 Speaker 17: by October, which is good progress by the way, But 1014 00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:58,839 Speaker 17: it's not like, you know, next next week or something, 1015 00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,640 Speaker 17: there's going to be like a bigger apartment by Kingsland 1016 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,520 Speaker 17: train station. But over the next three, five, ten years, 1017 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:06,640 Speaker 17: this is the way people want to live, or at 1018 00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:09,000 Speaker 17: least the way some people want to live, right. Some 1019 00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:10,799 Speaker 17: people want to live in a single story house in 1020 00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,080 Speaker 17: the suburbs. That's all good, We need more houses like that. 1021 00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,280 Speaker 17: Some people want to live in a terrace house, that's fine. 1022 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:19,640 Speaker 17: Some people, young people, older couples, the kids have moved out. 1023 00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:21,759 Speaker 17: They just want a nice apartment by a train station. 1024 00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:23,840 Speaker 17: And here's the thing. We're building this five billion dollars 1025 00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:26,240 Speaker 17: Sea rail Link. It's going to be rapid transit for Auckland. 1026 00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,200 Speaker 17: But Kingsland Train station is going to have trains running 1027 00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,000 Speaker 17: through it every five minutes at peak. It's going to 1028 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:31,680 Speaker 17: be phenomenal. People are going to want to live near 1029 00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:33,479 Speaker 17: the station, get a coffee on the way of the train. 1030 00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:35,399 Speaker 2: Chris, you said you've taken the pills. Have you seen 1031 00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,319 Speaker 2: the trains in Auckland lately? They don't run. There are 1032 00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,399 Speaker 2: no trains in Auckland. They're permanently not on. 1033 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:40,640 Speaker 9: Well. 1034 00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:42,520 Speaker 17: The part of the reason for that is that they're 1035 00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,760 Speaker 17: getting ready for city rail links. So I'm not pretending 1036 00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:46,880 Speaker 17: it's going to be perfect right away from day one, 1037 00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,919 Speaker 17: but there's a huge investment going into upgrading the lines 1038 00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:51,279 Speaker 17: and the train so we can get ready for it. 1039 00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,120 Speaker 2: Right, are you ready for this morning scandal? 1040 00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:55,840 Speaker 4: Hit me? 1041 00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:59,200 Speaker 2: Hit me with that far No Aura, right, farner Aura 1042 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:02,319 Speaker 2: give money to pacifica Medical association group. What do they 1043 00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:06,200 Speaker 2: do with that money? Chris, I'm sure you to tell 1044 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:09,200 Speaker 2: me they fund Moana Pacifica the rugby team. Now I'll 1045 00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,759 Speaker 2: ask you this in your capacity as Minister formerly of 1046 00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:15,439 Speaker 2: Minister of Sport. What the hell is an agency that's 1047 00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:18,640 Speaker 2: supposed to uplift the community. Firstly, it's a race based funding, 1048 00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:22,600 Speaker 2: which you said you'd stop. Why are they funding professional sport? 1049 00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:26,960 Speaker 17: Yeah, it's a complex. Is this funding picture a because well, 1050 00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,440 Speaker 17: because you've got fun of war, that's the fun of war. 1051 00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:33,120 Speaker 17: Groups do all sorts of different things and sometimes it's 1052 00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:35,839 Speaker 17: quite difficult to untangle the contracts at a delivery from 1053 00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,279 Speaker 17: everything house. So is it I'm with you. 1054 00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:40,960 Speaker 2: Well, well, you're in charge of Chris, You're the government 1055 00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:42,359 Speaker 2: who is going to fix all of this a year 1056 00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:44,840 Speaker 2: and a half and why are we discovering this this morning. 1057 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:47,600 Speaker 17: I'm not a judge that, but I know that my 1058 00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,200 Speaker 17: colleagues are looking at it because I agree with you 1059 00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:52,440 Speaker 17: in principle, and I'm sure they are looking at it. 1060 00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:54,960 Speaker 2: But as Minister of Sport, which you were, did it 1061 00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,320 Speaker 2: not bother you or did you not know that professional 1062 00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,239 Speaker 2: rugby teams in a country with no money were being 1063 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,360 Speaker 2: funded by an agency that's supposed to on a race 1064 00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:07,320 Speaker 2: based way it will process uplift their community. 1065 00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:09,719 Speaker 7: Yeah? I found it strange. 1066 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,400 Speaker 2: Well what did you do it about it? 1067 00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,399 Speaker 17: Well, as I say, there are contracts in place, and 1068 00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:19,080 Speaker 17: as I say, disentangling all of the various different funding 1069 00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:20,840 Speaker 17: streams that go into final or from some of the 1070 00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:22,880 Speaker 17: money that goes out the door. As we've discovered in 1071 00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:27,759 Speaker 17: other areas I'm thinking of with the other issues that 1072 00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,720 Speaker 17: we've cropped up. Is not as easy as it sounds. 1073 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:35,680 Speaker 2: I appreciate your time, Chris Bishop, and you got caught 1074 00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:36,280 Speaker 2: there slightly. 1075 00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:37,480 Speaker 13: Now. 1076 00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:40,200 Speaker 2: The other aspect of this is the charity aspect. So 1077 00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,759 Speaker 2: the company or the business or the charity specific and 1078 00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:45,520 Speaker 2: medical association group is a charity, so they don't are 1079 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:49,799 Speaker 2: they charity? When you fund a professional rugby team, are 1080 00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:54,000 Speaker 2: you a charity still? And if that rugby team didn't 1081 00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:57,359 Speaker 2: exist without your funding, are you still a charity? Dez, 1082 00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,840 Speaker 2: There's a lot of questions on this. Morney. Mics of 1083 00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:02,240 Speaker 2: the Tniger continues with Maray getting more and more money 1084 00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:04,880 Speaker 2: to do well. It's not just Mary' specifica to do 1085 00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:06,880 Speaker 2: what they want. When is it going to stop? Not 1086 00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,399 Speaker 2: a bad question, it's I think, as you heard Chris say, 1087 00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,840 Speaker 2: it's small difficult than you think. Seventeen to eight. 1088 00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:19,720 Speaker 1: The Vike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1089 00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:20,440 Speaker 1: by the News Talks. 1090 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:20,719 Speaker 8: It'd be. 1091 00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:24,440 Speaker 2: Part of the problem, Mike, is the public servants are 1092 00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:26,640 Speaker 2: ignoring directives. I've said that, Judith. I think you're right. 1093 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,040 Speaker 2: I've said this on the program. I think that's increasingly 1094 00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,479 Speaker 2: what it is now. You can, partially to a degree, 1095 00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:33,759 Speaker 2: argue that Farna Ora is one step removed. They're not 1096 00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,040 Speaker 2: directly a government department. They are funded by the state, 1097 00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:40,120 Speaker 2: but they're contracted to do certain things. And you've got 1098 00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:43,400 Speaker 2: to ask yourself the question also the broader question. The 1099 00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,439 Speaker 2: reason this is a story this morning, apart from the funny, 1100 00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:48,640 Speaker 2: is specific a medical association their contract has been stopped. 1101 00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:52,839 Speaker 2: Another version of pacifica medical association is the Wipe Perrera Trust, 1102 00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,680 Speaker 2: the famous Wipeerrera trusts head by John Tammahirie. Of course 1103 00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:59,680 Speaker 2: they've lost their contract as well. I believe he's taking 1104 00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,160 Speaker 2: them court. I don't know how you take the government 1105 00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,080 Speaker 2: to court over a contract that you you know, when 1106 00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:05,919 Speaker 2: you've got the money, you give it to whoever you want. 1107 00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:09,360 Speaker 2: But you've got that aspect of it as well. Without 1108 00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,360 Speaker 2: digging in even deeper hole. I'm getting a lot of 1109 00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:14,400 Speaker 2: emails and I can't work out whether this is just 1110 00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:18,319 Speaker 2: a sort of a very minor, broad based conspiracy by 1111 00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,200 Speaker 2: a few angsty people who spend a lot of time 1112 00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,160 Speaker 2: on the email and send me far too much correspondence. 1113 00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:27,880 Speaker 2: But section one two seven has that triggered. You just 1114 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,000 Speaker 2: listen to this section one to section one two seven. 1115 00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,719 Speaker 2: This is education. We raised it very briefly on the 1116 00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:35,360 Speaker 2: program the other day. This is race based as well, 1117 00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:38,920 Speaker 2: and it's part of the it's actually officially the Education 1118 00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:41,359 Speaker 2: and Training Amendment Bill number two, which is in front 1119 00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,200 Speaker 2: of a select committee at the moment. The claim from 1120 00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:46,920 Speaker 2: the many, many, many correspondents I get is that this 1121 00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,759 Speaker 2: is race based. It's tatyty, it's the Treaty of WAYTANGI. 1122 00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:53,400 Speaker 2: It's what we're teaching kids in school, and you're accusing 1123 00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:57,200 Speaker 2: Erica Stanford. The latest email this morning, the most woke 1124 00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:01,880 Speaker 2: while everyone was distracted. The National's wocist minister, Erica Stanford, 1125 00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,720 Speaker 2: where you get that from, I don't know, quietly introduced 1126 00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,279 Speaker 2: a radical rewrite of our school governance laws and now 1127 00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,359 Speaker 2: it has been pushed to a select committee with barely 1128 00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:12,680 Speaker 2: a whisper of public attention. Education and Training Amendment Bill 1129 00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:16,239 Speaker 2: number two. Changes buried within it rewritten section one two 1130 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:18,720 Speaker 2: seven represent one of the boldest attempts yet to enrich 1131 00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:23,960 Speaker 2: or entrench rather co governance and identity politics in the classroom. Now. 1132 00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:26,920 Speaker 2: We went to Stanford's office the other day and they 1133 00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:33,200 Speaker 2: said that's not true. I've read their explanation. If I 1134 00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:38,840 Speaker 2: can be honest, their explanation if I'm being generous kind 1135 00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:44,520 Speaker 2: of makes sense. If I'm being conspiratorial doesn't. So we'll 1136 00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,640 Speaker 2: probably need to get her on the program tomorrow to 1137 00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:52,480 Speaker 2: get some clarification because there's clearly a frassant building up 1138 00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:56,839 Speaker 2: in the emailing community of this country that will need 1139 00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:02,000 Speaker 2: to address.

So yeah, it's an incredible achievement. 1165 00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,560 Speaker 2: Does it taste like something that would win when you 1166 00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:07,200 Speaker 2: sent it off? 1167 00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:11,520 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, we knew there was something pretty special coming 1168 00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:15,279 Speaker 11: out of the twenty twenty four vintage. Yeah, it just 1169 00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:19,359 Speaker 11: shows this unique kind of provenance to Martinborough. But it's 1170 00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:22,600 Speaker 11: ultimately yeah, just delicious. So yeah, we knew we had 1171 00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:23,399 Speaker 11: something pretty cool there. 1172 00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,560 Speaker 2: Twenty four seemed to be a good vintage around the 1173 00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:27,440 Speaker 2: whole country. Is that fair or you're not across the 1174 00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:28,080 Speaker 2: whole country. 1175 00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:32,080 Speaker 11: Yeah, no, no, it was a great vintage throughout New Zealand. 1176 00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:35,000 Speaker 11: Fortunately we had a pretty dry spell throughout the summer 1177 00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,960 Speaker 11: in autumn, so got like a really long hangtime to 1178 00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:41,600 Speaker 11: develop lots of concentration. So yet the stunner for New Zealand, 1179 00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:44,040 Speaker 11: which is I think evidence in those you know, three 1180 00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:46,840 Speaker 11: hundred and three medals that were awarded to New Zealand. 1181 00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,440 Speaker 11: So yeah, it's a great achievement for the country. 1182 00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:53,000 Speaker 2: When you're tasting the peanut, it's somewhere like those awards 1183 00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:54,640 Speaker 2: given it. I mean twenty twenty four Would you drink 1184 00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,040 Speaker 2: a twenty oh you put it away for a year 1185 00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:58,040 Speaker 2: or two? Can you taste what are they tasting? What 1186 00:55:58,200 --> 00:55:59,879 Speaker 2: can be or what it is? 1187 00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:05,400 Speaker 11: It's a mixture of both actually, So they do like 1188 00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:09,040 Speaker 11: to see there's some age worthiness and the longevity in 1189 00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:13,000 Speaker 11: these wines, but ultimately it has to be delicious on 1190 00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:17,040 Speaker 11: the day of tasting. And yeah, with this Peno and mine, 1191 00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:19,320 Speaker 11: like we want that to be approachable and ready to 1192 00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:22,080 Speaker 11: drink from when it's released, which is. 1193 00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,799 Speaker 2: Now so from a Hawk's Bay company, which is what 1194 00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:26,640 Speaker 2: you are. How much of your wine's made out of 1195 00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:28,719 Speaker 2: the region out of the Bay. 1196 00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:32,560 Speaker 11: Well, actually it's about or less than fifty percent. So 1197 00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:35,520 Speaker 11: most of our identity is down in Marsborough, now, is 1198 00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,439 Speaker 11: that's where our Cevion Blanc comes from and also noir. 1199 00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:40,320 Speaker 11: So yeah, it's a huge part. 1200 00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:41,840 Speaker 2: Of our martink. 1201 00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:43,960 Speaker 7: Yes, it's fantastic. 1202 00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:45,760 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, a bit of a pudding difference. 1203 00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:48,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't see. My problem is I'm a massive 1204 00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:50,920 Speaker 2: wine fan, Ben, but I don't drink white wine at all. 1205 00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:53,960 Speaker 11: And oh, we've got to give you a bottle, mate. 1206 00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:55,560 Speaker 2: No, I don't want a bottle. I'm just thinking that 1207 00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:58,799 Speaker 2: Martin bro as a profiles. I mean, so the last 1208 00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:01,160 Speaker 2: time I drank white wine was I drink of obviously 1209 00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:04,000 Speaker 2: Marlborough serving on blank and I never like the Hawk's 1210 00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,640 Speaker 2: Bay serving on what tastes completely different? What does Martin 1211 00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:08,560 Speaker 2: but taste like in comparison to those two. 1212 00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:11,600 Speaker 11: Yeah, it's actually it's actually a lot cooler than than 1213 00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,880 Speaker 11: Marlborough despite being further north. But it's not as like 1214 00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:19,200 Speaker 11: obvious as sort of grassy or capsican or sort of 1215 00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:22,000 Speaker 11: herbal is probably the two. And it's actually more like 1216 00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,800 Speaker 11: when it's greener, it's actually more more greener, citrus, more 1217 00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:28,240 Speaker 11: that sort of Yuzu spectrum, so it's really fresh and 1218 00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:32,200 Speaker 11: really salty. So yeah, it's got thicker skin from more 1219 00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,600 Speaker 11: wind there as well. So yeah, it's quite quite a 1220 00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,160 Speaker 11: salivating sevyon blanc. Because it's nice as opposed to something 1221 00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:38,080 Speaker 11: quite obvious. 1222 00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:40,240 Speaker 2: Good description. People will think you're a wine maker the 1223 00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:43,080 Speaker 2: peen and noile that you've won with. Do you do 1224 00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:45,360 Speaker 2: you have the product because presumably people are going to 1225 00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:46,480 Speaker 2: want to prome all over the world. 1226 00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:50,919 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah we do. It's it's available in most good 1227 00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,560 Speaker 11: wine stores throughout New Zealand and it's actually one that 1228 00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:57,200 Speaker 11: we do stock in some supermarkets too, so it's it's 1229 00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:59,720 Speaker 11: available at the moment, just sort of wild stock class. 1230 00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:02,520 Speaker 2: I guess, good on you. Well, congratulations. It's the big 1231 00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:05,080 Speaker 2: one to canter Wine Awards if you want something really 1232 00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:08,120 Speaker 2: special from Craigie range is not an ad. Sophia is 1233 00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:10,000 Speaker 2: my favorite wine of all time. It was the Quarry, 1234 00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:12,080 Speaker 2: but then at Sophia it is Sofia. Now I will 1235 00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:14,000 Speaker 2: probably go to my grave with a bottle of Sofia 1236 00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:17,280 Speaker 2: just saying I do feel better. Actually I talked about wine, 1237 00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:18,840 Speaker 2: lifted myself up a little bit. That was good and 1238 00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:22,400 Speaker 2: it's going to get even better because James May is 1239 00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:24,040 Speaker 2: back on the program. He's coming to the country. I'll 1240 00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:25,680 Speaker 2: tell you why he's coming to the country, but watching 1241 00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:27,560 Speaker 2: him online, I still watch him online a lot.

This will 1262 00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:33,240 Speaker 2: be the only Grand Tour question I ask. But given 1263 00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:37,479 Speaker 2: it's been six years, has that contribution to your side 1264 00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:41,200 Speaker 2: of television, both top Gear and Grand Tour settled in 1265 00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:43,960 Speaker 2: your mind? Are you at peace with yourself and life 1266 00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:44,440 Speaker 2: moves on? 1267 00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:48,440 Speaker 18: That's very nice of you to put it that way, 1268 00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:51,520 Speaker 18: because I think, yes, you are right. I am largely 1269 00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:54,680 Speaker 18: at peace with myself. I'm very happy with what happened, 1270 00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:57,480 Speaker 18: and I am ready to move on to a broad 1271 00:59:57,680 --> 01:00:01,000 Speaker 18: Sunday's upland very busy. 1272 01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:02,320 Speaker 2: Are you deliberately busy? 1273 01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:05,640 Speaker 18: No, quite the opposite. This year was going to be 1274 01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:08,840 Speaker 18: my what I called a dry run at retirement to 1275 01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:12,120 Speaker 18: see how much I liked it that I've ended up 1276 01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:16,040 Speaker 18: doing a live tour, a couple of TV shows, various 1277 01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:19,200 Speaker 18: other odds and sods. It's actually the busiest year I've 1278 01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:23,280 Speaker 18: had for probably a decade in terms of demands on 1279 01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,120 Speaker 18: my time. But maybe that's a good thing, you know, 1280 01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,120 Speaker 18: maybe if I was left of my own devices, i'd 1281 01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:28,360 Speaker 18: sit in the garden and rot. 1282 01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:31,240 Speaker 2: Because what I wanted to know is is post your 1283 01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:34,560 Speaker 2: ground to a top Gear thing was the work you 1284 01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:37,600 Speaker 2: wanted to do, ideas you wanted to explore and you're 1285 01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:39,840 Speaker 2: now doing that, or has it just happened. 1286 01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:46,560 Speaker 18: It's a boringly predictable answer, but it's a bit of both. 1287 01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:49,560 Speaker 18: There were some things I wanted to do, none of 1288 01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:52,240 Speaker 18: those have come to fruition. And there were things that 1289 01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:54,520 Speaker 18: other people wanted me to do that I've agreed to. 1290 01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:58,560 Speaker 2: And have you enjoyed them and enriched yourself through the process. 1291 01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:03,120 Speaker 18: Well, actually yes, I think. I mean I try to 1292 01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:05,200 Speaker 18: deny it. I'm sure a lot of us do, but 1293 01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:09,720 Speaker 18: I quite like being busy, and I like having I 1294 01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:14,240 Speaker 18: like having things to do and an objective and I mean, 1295 01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:17,560 Speaker 18: let's be honest, a sense of purpose and self worth. 1296 01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:22,720 Speaker 18: We're all needy underneath, especially people in TV, in the media, 1297 01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:24,720 Speaker 18: We're all just crying for help. 1298 01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:29,400 Speaker 2: Our man in I enjoyed them all, but I particularly 1299 01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:33,080 Speaker 2: like Japan. It struck me that that could go for river, 1300 01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:35,120 Speaker 2: couldn't it. There's one hundred and ninety six countries you 1301 01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:36,080 Speaker 2: could be our man in. 1302 01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:41,560 Speaker 18: Yes, I think you're right. Amazon didn't think so, though, 1303 01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:44,440 Speaker 18: so they binned it. I was quite cooking to do 1304 01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:47,080 Speaker 18: our Man in the UK because I thought The one 1305 01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:49,960 Speaker 18: thing none of us ever does is explore our own countries. 1306 01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:52,400 Speaker 18: We always think I must go if you live in Britain, 1307 01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:54,000 Speaker 18: for example, I must go to New Zealand, or I 1308 01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,640 Speaker 18: must go to the Maldives, or I must go and 1309 01:01:56,640 --> 01:02:00,840 Speaker 18: explore India. But why not go and explore miles down 1310 01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:01,320 Speaker 18: the road? 1311 01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:04,240 Speaker 2: Exactly? And so well, why not make it an independent 1312 01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:07,800 Speaker 2: production James may incorporate it brings you our man in 1313 01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:12,560 Speaker 2: oh Man at home. Yes, precisely. We might have just 1314 01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:17,680 Speaker 2: whiteboarded a half decent idea other things exactly. The show 1315 01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:21,200 Speaker 2: you're bringing to the country is that fraught given its 1316 01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:24,920 Speaker 2: live and from what I can understand of it, it's scripted 1317 01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:30,080 Speaker 2: but technically involved as well. So the potential for chaos 1318 01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:31,600 Speaker 2: is there, is it? 1319 01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:36,480 Speaker 18: Not that that's a very polite way of putting out. 1320 01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:39,680 Speaker 18: I think the potential for cocking it up is enormous. 1321 01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:43,360 Speaker 18: I'm not really very experienced at live things. We used 1322 01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:45,600 Speaker 18: to do top Gear Live and then Cluts and Hammond 1323 01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:49,160 Speaker 18: and May live. But there were three of us doing it, 1324 01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:53,640 Speaker 18: plus our stunt driving team and various other circus performers. 1325 01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:57,000 Speaker 18: And it was I mean, it wasn't it was quite 1326 01:02:57,760 --> 01:02:59,920 Speaker 18: It was quite nerve wracking at times, but it wasn't 1327 01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:04,160 Speaker 18: really technically very different. This one is quite intimidating because 1328 01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:07,400 Speaker 18: it's just me. If it goes wrong, I can't just 1329 01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,120 Speaker 18: turn to Richard Hammond and go, so, Richard, what do 1330 01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:12,320 Speaker 18: you think you know? And completely throw it to him 1331 01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:15,320 Speaker 18: and watching the squirm. I don't have that option. I 1332 01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:18,800 Speaker 18: have to I have to keep going, which on the 1333 01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:20,520 Speaker 18: whole I don't have a problem with. I mean, I'm 1334 01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:26,200 Speaker 18: quite good at keeping going. But yes, it's I'm slightly 1335 01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:28,680 Speaker 18: nervous about it, if I'm honest, But that's also quite 1336 01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:33,280 Speaker 18: a good thing because it's it's stimulating. You know, it's exciting. 1337 01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:36,120 Speaker 18: You have a live audience. You can't you can't rewind, 1338 01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:38,040 Speaker 18: you can't edit. You just have to go out there 1339 01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:41,000 Speaker 18: and feel either the love or the hate, depending on 1340 01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:42,440 Speaker 18: which comes out of the audience. 1341 01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:46,480 Speaker 2: Is this entirely your show? You wrote it, Therefore you 1342 01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:49,280 Speaker 2: put the parameters around it. Who's the discoverer, what you 1343 01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:50,919 Speaker 2: say about them or as they More to it than. 1344 01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:54,120 Speaker 18: That, it's a bit, it's a it's a slightly more 1345 01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:58,320 Speaker 18: complicated process than that. The organizers came up with the 1346 01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:00,360 Speaker 18: bare bones of the show and then I've added a 1347 01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:02,360 Speaker 18: few bits, and we've taken a few bits out, and 1348 01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:04,240 Speaker 18: then I've turned it into my own words, and I 1349 01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:07,960 Speaker 18: have written the entire script. But I mean it's two 1350 01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:10,920 Speaker 18: hours long. I don't think since I'm not part of 1351 01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:13,040 Speaker 18: the Royal Shakespeare Company or anything like that, I don't 1352 01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:15,720 Speaker 18: think I can actually remember it word for word. I've 1353 01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:19,320 Speaker 18: got to. I have to remember the gist of it, 1354 01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:23,040 Speaker 18: what is often referred to as the narrative arc. There's 1355 01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:26,480 Speaker 18: a terrible expression that we all hate it. But I 1356 01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:30,240 Speaker 18: have to essentially remember that and just stand there and 1357 01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:32,840 Speaker 18: tell the stories. There are there special effects. We've got 1358 01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:36,240 Speaker 18: an artist on the stage. We've got lights and projections 1359 01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:39,040 Speaker 18: of pictures and dry eyes and fog and the power 1360 01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:40,640 Speaker 18: of the ship and all these things, so it'll be, 1361 01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:43,640 Speaker 18: you know, it'll be good to look at, but ultimately 1362 01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:45,640 Speaker 18: I have to stand there and tell stories. 1363 01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:48,120 Speaker 2: Have you actually done it yet in terms of it's 1364 01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:49,760 Speaker 2: coming to Australia in New Zealand? Have you run it 1365 01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:51,240 Speaker 2: through Britain as a bit of a taste trial to 1366 01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:52,600 Speaker 2: warm it up for us? Or is this are we 1367 01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:53,280 Speaker 2: the guinea pigs. 1368 01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:58,240 Speaker 18: We're actually running it through Australia in New Zealand and 1369 01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:02,120 Speaker 18: then Singapore doing it in Britain. I don't think it's 1370 01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:06,440 Speaker 18: because we're regarding the antivities as a guinea pig. I 1371 01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:10,040 Speaker 18: think it's more because the way that the timing of 1372 01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:12,440 Speaker 18: the thing is such that we come to you in 1373 01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:14,400 Speaker 18: your winter, ESSENSI, and by the time we bring the 1374 01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:16,200 Speaker 18: show back to Britain, it will be winter here and 1375 01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:20,960 Speaker 18: people will be you know, depressed, drunk, no money or 1376 01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:23,160 Speaker 18: what episode I'll consider going to watch me in a 1377 01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:23,959 Speaker 18: theater show. 1378 01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:26,840 Speaker 2: All right, hey, listen, I've got to talk to you 1379 01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,480 Speaker 2: about cars. Let me do that in just a couple 1380 01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:30,720 Speaker 2: of months. James May isn't Brittain for us this morning 1381 01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:33,080 Speaker 2: more in a moment thirteen past the. 1382 01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:37,640 Speaker 1: Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on Ihard Radio powered 1383 01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:38,360 Speaker 1: by News Talks. 1384 01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:41,360 Speaker 2: It be News Talks. It'll be sixteen past that. James 1385 01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:43,320 Speaker 2: May is the gift. Now listen, James, We've got to 1386 01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:45,440 Speaker 2: talk about cars. I watched you the other day. I 1387 01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:48,960 Speaker 2: saw you think with Jay Lino. Now I'm assuming he's 1388 01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:52,640 Speaker 2: on a zimpagre. He's on a diet because he's literally vanished. 1389 01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:54,760 Speaker 18: It's a lot thinner than he used to be. I mean, 1390 01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:57,040 Speaker 18: I didn't ask him about it because that would be 1391 01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:02,320 Speaker 18: terribly indiscreet, and rather, rather, let's be honest, I thought. 1392 01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:04,800 Speaker 18: I mean, some people have commented saying, oh, Jay looks 1393 01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:07,440 Speaker 18: so thin, but I actually thought he looked quite healthy. 1394 01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:11,120 Speaker 2: But it's just I was just concerned. But he wasn't 1395 01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:13,800 Speaker 2: done well the Triumph though the tr This is what 1396 01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:16,400 Speaker 2: I got out of your video with Jay, and people 1397 01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:20,440 Speaker 2: should watch it. Your relationship with the Triumph TR six 1398 01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:24,240 Speaker 2: Is it about the car or is it about your 1399 01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:27,480 Speaker 2: time and place in life and therefore your relationship with 1400 01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:29,400 Speaker 2: with what happened to be there at the time. 1401 01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:33,520 Speaker 18: Yeah, what you see, that's the That's the sort of 1402 01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:36,040 Speaker 18: question that earns you the big bucks because I think 1403 01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:39,960 Speaker 18: it is quite a complicated thing. There are there are 1404 01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:43,000 Speaker 18: aspects of the of the TR six that connect with 1405 01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:47,040 Speaker 18: my teenage years, well even with my childhood. I suppose 1406 01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:50,280 Speaker 18: it was the first It was the first car I 1407 01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:53,800 Speaker 18: drove that wasn't my own car. As a solo review 1408 01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:58,240 Speaker 18: on top Gear, I've always admired it. I always wanted one, 1409 01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:01,880 Speaker 18: So is it I mean, I do like them as well. 1410 01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:04,120 Speaker 18: Even though I'm not a massive fan of classic cars, 1411 01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:05,760 Speaker 18: I tend to think that you know you're better off 1412 01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:07,760 Speaker 18: of the model, but I do really like the TR six. 1413 01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:11,840 Speaker 18: Is it about the car? Is it about my yearning 1414 01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:18,200 Speaker 18: for the past? Is it about some unresolved personal trauma 1415 01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:21,280 Speaker 18: or crisis. I don't really know. I think that's for 1416 01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:26,800 Speaker 18: someone else to decide. Yeah, there that you're mad? 1417 01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:31,080 Speaker 2: Are you riveling as much as I am? In the 1418 01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:33,840 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't say this in a nasty way. 1419 01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:36,440 Speaker 2: In the back down of the motor industry on internal 1420 01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:38,919 Speaker 2: combustion engines and what we have seen, what we thought 1421 01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:41,040 Speaker 2: was going to happen and what is happening are two 1422 01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:43,960 Speaker 2: completely different things. And I reference your review the other 1423 01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:47,560 Speaker 2: day with the Ferrari, the chill Andre twelve cylinders. Who 1424 01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:50,640 Speaker 2: would have thought, Yeah, I know it was. 1425 01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:54,560 Speaker 18: It was surprisingly delicious. It shouldn't have been surprising. I know, 1426 01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:57,240 Speaker 18: I know what that sort of thing is like, and 1427 01:07:57,280 --> 01:07:59,520 Speaker 18: I know I still have a soft spot for it. 1428 01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:05,240 Speaker 18: You're meaning that the electric car revolution hasn't quite we 1429 01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:09,240 Speaker 18: thought it, but well, I mean I don't rejoice in it. 1430 01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:12,200 Speaker 18: I'm open minded about it. I have I have a Tesla. 1431 01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:18,200 Speaker 18: I've been driving electrically for over a decade because I 1432 01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:19,920 Speaker 18: sort of I mean, the way I've always put it 1433 01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:21,880 Speaker 18: is I feel I should take part in the experiment. 1434 01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:25,160 Speaker 18: I'm a car enthusiast. I'm in the fortunate position of 1435 01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:28,640 Speaker 18: being able to so I ought to be interested in 1436 01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:32,639 Speaker 18: where the cars going or not going, So I should 1437 01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:35,120 Speaker 18: I should join in. There's no point in sort of, 1438 01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:37,479 Speaker 18: you know, digging a trench and sticking your head over 1439 01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:40,320 Speaker 18: in a tin hat and going bar electric cars, bugger off. 1440 01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:43,520 Speaker 18: I'm going to have this flat six until I die. 1441 01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:46,120 Speaker 18: You've got to You've got to look at a bit 1442 01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:49,519 Speaker 18: of both and and sort of. You don't have to 1443 01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:51,960 Speaker 18: make a decision so much, but you have to. You 1444 01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:55,160 Speaker 18: have to be. The way I always put it is 1445 01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:57,120 Speaker 18: absorbent to possibilities. 1446 01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:00,519 Speaker 2: But you would be. It would be fairce tosu, would 1447 01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:05,520 Speaker 2: it not that the Ferrari does more for you emotionally 1448 01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:07,679 Speaker 2: than an electric car ibber will. 1449 01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:13,160 Speaker 18: Mechanically. Yes, I think I believe in I don't really 1450 01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:16,000 Speaker 18: believe the argument that cars or any machines have soul. 1451 01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:18,400 Speaker 18: I think that's a that's a slight cop out for 1452 01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:21,559 Speaker 18: people who can't articulate what it is they like about something. 1453 01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:27,160 Speaker 18: But I do believe in machine character and the character 1454 01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:31,360 Speaker 18: of electric motors everywhere, not just in cars, is fairly 1455 01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:35,680 Speaker 18: uniform because they simply spin round around and whine. The 1456 01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:38,680 Speaker 18: thing that makes internal combustion engines interesting and full of 1457 01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:42,320 Speaker 18: character is ultimately because they are flawed. But of course 1458 01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:45,200 Speaker 18: so are we, so therefore maybe we can relate to 1459 01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:49,400 Speaker 18: them better and explore their their foibles and their strengths 1460 01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:53,000 Speaker 18: and their weaknesses, and either sympathize with them or exploit them. 1461 01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:55,040 Speaker 2: List when I tell you what we're looking forward to 1462 01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:56,840 Speaker 2: having you in the country, turning a month or so 1463 01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:58,560 Speaker 2: away and the show. 1464 01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:00,799 Speaker 18: I've been terribly pompoused, then I should apologize. 1465 01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:03,000 Speaker 2: No, no, you never, never, You're not not pompous, and 1466 01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:05,000 Speaker 2: there's no need to apologize.

He certainly that I think the most thoughtful, 1508 01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:09,120 Speaker 2: But you can't escape the luminosity of the clarks and name. 1509 01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:11,720 Speaker 2: But I think I enjoyed James as much as any, 1510 01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:14,240 Speaker 2: if not more. Mike only drink red wine. I can't 1511 01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:16,080 Speaker 2: decide whether that makes you a snob or bargain Well, 1512 01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:18,360 Speaker 2: it makes me neither. I just find white wine just 1513 01:12:18,360 --> 01:12:20,679 Speaker 2: a little bit of cidic. And you can only consume 1514 01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:23,200 Speaker 2: so much wine in life.

So we'll get the details 1530 01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:11,720 Speaker 2: from Rod Little when we go to Britain directly after 1531 01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:14,560 Speaker 2: the News, which is next under Mike Husking brickst. 1532 01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:28,519 Speaker 1: The Breakfast Show, Kiwi's Trust to stay in the know, 1533 01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:32,479 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast with the Defender Doctor the most 1534 01:13:32,479 --> 01:13:35,880 Speaker 1: powerful Defender ever made, and news Togs dead be getting. 1535 01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:37,559 Speaker 2: Too I was just thinking back to Nicola Willis this 1536 01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:39,840 Speaker 2: morning and the various issues that we raised with her. 1537 01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:42,240 Speaker 2: But there was a release under the Official Information Act 1538 01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:45,120 Speaker 2: yesterday of some correspondents that Christian Hawksby, who's the villa 1539 01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:47,800 Speaker 2: and governor at the Reserve Bank, wrote back to her. 1540 01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:49,720 Speaker 2: She's in a battle with the Reserve Bank at the 1541 01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:51,720 Speaker 2: moment over the capital funding and the amount of money 1542 01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:53,400 Speaker 2: you have to put aside for the retail banks and 1543 01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:55,040 Speaker 2: she wants less of it and they need to have it, 1544 01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:58,800 Speaker 2: and there's a review currently, but Hawksby's arguing against it, 1545 01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:01,240 Speaker 2: which is not surprise him because he was Deputy under 1546 01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:03,280 Speaker 2: Or and Ore was all over it. But I'll come 1547 01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:05,400 Speaker 2: to that later of ar get time. But so between 1548 01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:08,640 Speaker 2: the banks that she's going to fix and the supermarkets 1549 01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:11,679 Speaker 2: she's going to fix, and the RB which she's allegedly 1550 01:14:11,720 --> 01:14:14,559 Speaker 2: going to fix, and that's before we get to today's scandal, 1551 01:14:15,560 --> 01:14:17,679 Speaker 2: she's busy twenty three minutes away from. 1552 01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:23,080 Speaker 12: Nine International Correspondence with ends an eye insurance peace of 1553 01:14:23,080 --> 01:14:24,640 Speaker 12: mind for New Zealand Business. 1554 01:14:25,160 --> 01:14:27,719 Speaker 2: Britain immediately Rodert Little as well as morning. 1555 01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:28,960 Speaker 8: Mate, good morning to you mate. 1556 01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:30,719 Speaker 2: I do want to get to Keir Starmer and NATO 1557 01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:33,679 Speaker 2: and all this this this seeming, this hyperbole about you. 1558 01:14:33,680 --> 01:14:35,479 Speaker 2: You're going to war at any moment, will need some 1559 01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:38,360 Speaker 2: nuclear jets. But first of all, while he's sitting there 1560 01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:41,559 Speaker 2: in Europe at the moment it seems to be the 1561 01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:44,799 Speaker 2: number around the welfare debate in the so called revolt grows. 1562 01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:46,320 Speaker 2: Is he in real trouble here? 1563 01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:49,679 Speaker 8: Yes he is. He's in trouble ab loosing the vote. 1564 01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:53,919 Speaker 8: There are at least one hundred and twenty labor MPs 1565 01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:56,960 Speaker 8: who are threatening to rebel. Now you might assume that 1566 01:14:57,040 --> 01:14:59,559 Speaker 8: some of those can be talked round, but the trouble 1567 01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:02,640 Speaker 8: is a t sectuary has always has been over the 1568 01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:06,200 Speaker 8: last few weeks in the direction of more complaints rather 1569 01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:09,960 Speaker 8: than fewer. And he's got a real problem on his hands. 1570 01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:13,200 Speaker 8: And then the alternatives. He could kick the debate down 1571 01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:16,640 Speaker 8: the road into autumn we are coming to the end 1572 01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:23,680 Speaker 8: of the parliamentary term of the year, or he could concede, 1573 01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:27,839 Speaker 8: or he could plow ahead and risk defeat. It's not easy, 1574 01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:32,000 Speaker 8: and there's some very very angry people, particularly amongst those 1575 01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:37,679 Speaker 8: labor MPs elected on perhaps very slim margins, indeed who 1576 01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:39,479 Speaker 8: reckon they're only going to be there for four or 1577 01:15:39,479 --> 01:15:43,360 Speaker 8: five years anyway, So why not complain? Why not cause trouble? 1578 01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:44,880 Speaker 2: This was always going to be the problem with a 1579 01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:45,920 Speaker 2: large caucus, wasn't it. 1580 01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:49,599 Speaker 8: Yeah it was, Yes, it was. And it's also always 1581 01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:52,040 Speaker 8: going to be a problem with a labor party which 1582 01:15:52,479 --> 01:15:55,040 Speaker 8: is elected to look after the poorest, even if it 1583 01:15:55,120 --> 01:16:01,160 Speaker 8: doesn't immediately picking on the very poorest in society penalize 1584 01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:03,840 Speaker 8: that being said, you know, there is a five billion 1585 01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:07,280 Speaker 8: quids worth of welfare exactly, it doesn't even touch the size, 1586 01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:07,680 Speaker 8: you know. 1587 01:16:08,080 --> 01:16:10,320 Speaker 9: Well, that's what I want. 1588 01:16:10,160 --> 01:16:12,599 Speaker 2: To know from the one twenty. Do they say, look, 1589 01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:15,360 Speaker 2: we'll find them five billiona elsewhere and here are my ideas, 1590 01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:19,559 Speaker 2: or do they just say the rich, Yeah, that's. 1591 01:16:19,479 --> 01:16:22,559 Speaker 8: All they say. That's all they say. It's the answer 1592 01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:23,680 Speaker 8: to everything. 1593 01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:24,000 Speaker 2: Right but. 1594 01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:26,639 Speaker 8: Left in the country. 1595 01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:29,240 Speaker 2: No exactly. But from his point of view, Starmer's point 1596 01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:33,439 Speaker 2: of view, politically among the public, is he doing the 1597 01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:35,599 Speaker 2: right thing and they're out of step? 1598 01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:40,160 Speaker 8: I don't think. Well, I don't know the answer. The 1599 01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:44,400 Speaker 8: honest answer is I don't know. It isn't a massive 1600 01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:48,480 Speaker 8: public issue in the way that immigration is, for example, 1601 01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:53,360 Speaker 8: in a way that the winter fuel payments were. I 1602 01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:57,439 Speaker 8: don't think that either it's the same residence as either 1603 01:16:57,479 --> 01:17:00,519 Speaker 8: of those. So my guess is a temptoe will be 1604 01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:03,200 Speaker 8: that he will climb down a little bit. But how 1605 01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:05,840 Speaker 8: much you know, five billion pound cuts end up being 1606 01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:08,200 Speaker 8: two billion found cuts. How is she going to pay 1607 01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:11,679 Speaker 8: for everything else, such as our brand new, spanking nuclear 1608 01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:13,799 Speaker 8: jets to bomb everyone with AH. 1609 01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:17,040 Speaker 2: Which brings me to NATO and so uk must prepare 1610 01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:21,840 Speaker 2: for the war scenario. It's is this any and you 1611 01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:24,760 Speaker 2: are buying these these these jets that can carry don't 1612 01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:27,160 Speaker 2: have to but can twelve new fighter jets. Is there 1613 01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:30,880 Speaker 2: an alarmism about what we're hearing at the moment. 1614 01:17:32,240 --> 01:17:35,120 Speaker 8: Yes, you could call it alarmism, you could call it realism. 1615 01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:38,360 Speaker 8: I suppose we are you know where we are with 1616 01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:43,679 Speaker 8: Ukraine and Russia. There's also problems with Iran, and there 1617 01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:47,760 Speaker 8: is the distinct possibility, even though this was a successful 1618 01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:50,920 Speaker 8: NATO meeting and Trump seemed very happy and pleased with 1619 01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:55,840 Speaker 8: what have been agreed, that that NATO really is going 1620 01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:58,040 Speaker 8: to be without the USA, which will do what it 1621 01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:01,599 Speaker 8: wants when it wants, regardless one anyone else wants. So 1622 01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:03,719 Speaker 8: there is a feeling that we're more on our own 1623 01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:06,519 Speaker 8: now and that times are more dangerous than they've been 1624 01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:09,519 Speaker 8: for perhaps I don't know, forty years. I would guess. 1625 01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:12,559 Speaker 2: When we talked on Tuesday, we were busy discussing the 1626 01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:15,200 Speaker 2: Palestine Action Group and the head of the police was 1627 01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:17,519 Speaker 2: exasperated of what he could or couldn't do. Where are 1628 01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:18,080 Speaker 2: we at with them? 1629 01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:22,760 Speaker 8: Well, they have now been listed as a terrorist organization, 1630 01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:27,200 Speaker 8: but there is still a large trump of people in 1631 01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:30,960 Speaker 8: the country, including eleven MPs who were saying they stand 1632 01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:36,920 Speaker 8: with Palestine Action. That includes several labor MPs and formal 1633 01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:40,480 Speaker 8: labor EMPs such as Jeremy Corby Diyan Abbott. Usual suspects, 1634 01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:44,000 Speaker 8: you might say, a woman called Zara Sultana who has 1635 01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:48,439 Speaker 8: said that she stands with Palestine Action, which would of 1636 01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:51,240 Speaker 8: course be breaking the law if they were a terrorist group, 1637 01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:58,519 Speaker 8: as well as Pritcomery and Green MPs, and indeed a 1638 01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:03,680 Speaker 8: voice from the Crypt, one of Tony Player's former advisors 1639 01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:06,800 Speaker 8: has come up and said that he doesn't think that 1640 01:19:09,240 --> 01:19:13,640 Speaker 8: the prescribing the Palestine Action is the right thing to do. 1641 01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:17,880 Speaker 8: So there is going to be a debate over this, 1642 01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:22,080 Speaker 8: but I think the vast majority of the public is 1643 01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:26,240 Speaker 8: on the side, is on the side of Kirstarma on 1644 01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:29,000 Speaker 8: this and not on the side of that. Blair advisor, 1645 01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:30,280 Speaker 8: Lord Falconer. 1646 01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:31,880 Speaker 2: Nice to talk to you, Rod. We'll see you next week, 1647 01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:35,320 Speaker 2: Rod Little Tuesdays and Thursdays. If thirty five Ay's They 1648 01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:38,839 Speaker 2: are these jets, twelve of them equipped with nuclear bombs. 1649 01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:41,160 Speaker 2: They don't have to carry nuclear bombs, they can carry 1650 01:19:41,160 --> 01:19:43,720 Speaker 2: regular bombs. But nevertheless they've they're going to be part 1651 01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:46,759 Speaker 2: of the NATO force. They've also confirmed the five percent 1652 01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:48,760 Speaker 2: this morning, as we heard from the Kiyostarma earlier on 1653 01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:51,879 Speaker 2: in the program. But this talk about war in Britain. 1654 01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:55,800 Speaker 2: UK must actively prepare for the possibility of the UK 1655 01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:59,720 Speaker 2: coming under direct threat, potentially in a wartime scenario, call 1656 01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:03,120 Speaker 2: for in all of society effort to make the UK 1657 01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:06,839 Speaker 2: more secure, adding the country would have to pull together. 1658 01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:10,040 Speaker 2: They'd have to pull together. This is the Cabinet Office 1659 01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:13,080 Speaker 2: minutes ago called Pat McFadden strategy offered a plan that 1660 01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:15,680 Speaker 2: is both clear eyed and hard edged about the challenges 1661 01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:22,160 Speaker 2: we face that real Lamas of seventeen to two. 1662 01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:25,880 Speaker 1: The Hike Asking Breakfast Fall Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1663 01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:26,680 Speaker 1: by News Talks, a. 1664 01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:29,960 Speaker 2: B bulting away from nine Microme wasn't built in today. 1665 01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:31,720 Speaker 2: What the government inherited is going to take time to 1666 01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:33,920 Speaker 2: fix the shambles. No need to get off your high 1667 01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:36,000 Speaker 2: horse just yet. I'm not sure that's grammatically correct, but 1668 01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:38,559 Speaker 2: I know what you're saying. A similar line. You got 1669 01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:41,599 Speaker 2: to admire the intention of Willis Stafford Stanford and Bishop 1670 01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:44,040 Speaker 2: at Hell and try to address and or change things 1671 01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:46,479 Speaker 2: they consider in the country's best interest. Unfortunately, you can't 1672 01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:48,679 Speaker 2: change overnight the attitudes of all those well and sconced 1673 01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:52,080 Speaker 2: bureaucrats who've been indoctrinated by six years the previous administration. 1674 01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:55,320 Speaker 2: This is starting to be an old argument. I've got 1675 01:20:55,360 --> 01:20:57,479 Speaker 2: sympathy with it, but if you look at the polls, 1676 01:20:57,520 --> 01:21:00,880 Speaker 2: a lot of people don't. And that's your philosophy versus 1677 01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:03,439 Speaker 2: urraal politic. There's no point in you and I are 1678 01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:05,880 Speaker 2: sitting here going yeah, that makes sense when the polls 1679 01:21:05,960 --> 01:21:08,000 Speaker 2: say what the Poles say. All the Poles at the 1680 01:21:08,040 --> 01:21:12,759 Speaker 2: moment do have the government returning, but it's tight and national, 1681 01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:15,200 Speaker 2: particularly in trouble, and the Prime Minister in trouble as well, 1682 01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:17,640 Speaker 2: and the IPSOS issues poll I think that'll change. I 1683 01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:19,519 Speaker 2: mean it's too weird for words. I mean labor not 1684 01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:21,880 Speaker 2: that it's their fault. You don't have policies in the 1685 01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:26,000 Speaker 2: year before an election year. But they have no policies. Therefore, 1686 01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:28,559 Speaker 2: you can't possibly conclude that they would be better at 1687 01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:30,760 Speaker 2: seventeen of the twenty issues because you don't know what 1688 01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:33,679 Speaker 2: they would do. So therefore, in that sense it's null 1689 01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:38,240 Speaker 2: and void. However, it does provide a perception, and the 1690 01:21:38,280 --> 01:21:41,320 Speaker 2: perception is growing, and this is where the alarmism needs 1691 01:21:41,320 --> 01:21:44,759 Speaker 2: to enter the behire fairly quickly. The perception is growing 1692 01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:47,479 Speaker 2: that these guys do a lot of talking, and some 1693 01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:49,320 Speaker 2: of the stuff they're doing work. So I mean, just 1694 01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:53,200 Speaker 2: little things pseudo effortrine, fantastic about time, common sense, melatonin, 1695 01:21:54,120 --> 01:21:56,640 Speaker 2: nice and simple about time, common sense. But hold on 1696 01:21:57,360 --> 01:22:00,960 Speaker 2: speed limits, road cones. We're still talking about that, Maori funding. 1697 01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:03,519 Speaker 2: We're still talking about it. You know, it's whack a mole. 1698 01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:05,960 Speaker 2: You said you would, You said you would, said somebody 1699 01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:07,640 Speaker 2: in the news. How many letters does Niicola will just 1700 01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:09,519 Speaker 2: want to write about the supermarkets? I mean, surely he 1701 01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:12,400 Speaker 2: gets boring after while writing letters. Do something. If you've 1702 01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:14,920 Speaker 2: got some magic for supermarkets, do it. If you've got 1703 01:22:14,960 --> 01:22:17,000 Speaker 2: some magic for the banks, do it. If you've got 1704 01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:18,920 Speaker 2: something you want to get done at the RB do it, 1705 01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:22,360 Speaker 2: don't talk about it, don't write letters, don't threaten, don't 1706 01:22:22,360 --> 01:22:23,120 Speaker 2: wag your finger. 1707 01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:23,960 Speaker 1: Do it. 1708 01:22:24,360 --> 01:22:27,320 Speaker 2: And that's what people, I think elected them to do. 1709 01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:31,400 Speaker 2: Then we come to the Middle East where we have 1710 01:22:31,439 --> 01:22:35,600 Speaker 2: a plane there, they seem reluctant to tell us what 1711 01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:37,639 Speaker 2: the plane is doing. As reading in Australia, the Australian 1712 01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:39,720 Speaker 2: plane went in land, had got some Australians and flew 1713 01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:41,759 Speaker 2: home again. I don't know why it's so secret here anyway, 1714 01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:44,320 Speaker 2: turns out no one wants to leave, which then begs 1715 01:22:44,320 --> 01:22:47,960 Speaker 2: the question why do we send the plane. So this 1716 01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:51,799 Speaker 2: is Israel. M Fat said yesterday they are not receiving 1717 01:22:51,880 --> 01:22:55,200 Speaker 2: requests from New Zealanders to depart. Now that doesn't surprise me. 1718 01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:57,599 Speaker 2: If you've set up a life in Israel, and you're 1719 01:22:57,640 --> 01:22:59,559 Speaker 2: living in Israel, and you've made your own decisions as 1720 01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:01,160 Speaker 2: to why you want to live in that particular part 1721 01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:03,120 Speaker 2: of the world, things team to have settled down as 1722 01:23:03,160 --> 01:23:05,800 Speaker 2: quickly as they fired up. And if you don't want 1723 01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:07,160 Speaker 2: to come back to New Zealand, you don't want to 1724 01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:08,400 Speaker 2: come back to New Zealand. We got one hundred and 1725 01:23:08,439 --> 01:23:10,320 Speaker 2: thirty nine in Iran. Apparently in one hundred and ten 1726 01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:12,599 Speaker 2: registered in Israel, but no one's to go, So I'm interested. 1727 01:23:12,640 --> 01:23:16,439 Speaker 2: Did we send a plane for no particular reason? Eleven 1728 01:23:16,479 --> 01:23:17,400 Speaker 2: away from nine. 1729 01:23:17,520 --> 01:23:22,080 Speaker 1: The make Hosking Breakfast with a Vida Retirement Communities News 1730 01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:23,040 Speaker 1: Togsdad Be Mike. 1731 01:23:23,040 --> 01:23:24,679 Speaker 2: As much as I want to see things change faster, 1732 01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:26,439 Speaker 2: I can't help but think the past government did their 1733 01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:30,240 Speaker 2: changes over two consecutive terms. So maybe it's easy, not 1734 01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:32,839 Speaker 2: so easy to reve it that's true. All I'm arguing 1735 01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:35,759 Speaker 2: is that an election which comes around every three years, 1736 01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:37,840 Speaker 2: as a first time government, you don't want to go 1737 01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:39,439 Speaker 2: back to the people and go, look, give us more time, 1738 01:23:39,479 --> 01:23:41,000 Speaker 2: give us more time, give us more time. It was 1739 01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:44,120 Speaker 2: more complicated than we thought. That's a weaker argument than go, hey, 1740 01:23:44,479 --> 01:23:48,200 Speaker 2: there's what we did. See that and that, and that's 1741 01:23:48,240 --> 01:23:51,880 Speaker 2: what they're facing. Is Miami point. Christian hawks be back 1742 01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:54,280 Speaker 2: to him and Nicola's problem with the Reserve Bank official 1743 01:23:54,280 --> 01:23:58,000 Speaker 2: memo to the Finance Minister. He says this around about 1744 01:23:58,120 --> 01:24:01,400 Speaker 2: what the capital required by retail banks is and whether 1745 01:24:01,479 --> 01:24:03,800 Speaker 2: or not that makes lending in this country more expensive 1746 01:24:04,160 --> 01:24:08,000 Speaker 2: some commentators, writes Christian Turniicola suggests that our requirements are 1747 01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:10,320 Speaker 2: not in line with international norms. For example, S and 1748 01:24:10,360 --> 01:24:13,559 Speaker 2: p AS and the Ratings Agency sometimes cited as stating 1749 01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:16,080 Speaker 2: that we have the most restrictive settings in the world. 1750 01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:19,040 Speaker 2: We consider this to be incorrect, as they are comparing 1751 01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:22,840 Speaker 2: our total capital requirements where a subcomponent of other countries' requirements. 1752 01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:25,240 Speaker 2: Retail banks in New Zealand were well advanced in their 1753 01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:27,559 Speaker 2: plans to meet the new requirements. It would mean greater 1754 01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:29,559 Speaker 2: risk of bank failure. Now, this is the whole point 1755 01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:34,080 Speaker 2: of all these people holding money or and obviously hawksby thought, 1756 01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:38,080 Speaker 2: rightly or wrongly, I argue wrongly that somehow our banks 1757 01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:42,519 Speaker 2: are at risk of falling over. Surely the GFC, surely 1758 01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:45,280 Speaker 2: the COVID period are two of the best possible examples 1759 01:24:45,360 --> 01:24:47,800 Speaker 2: you would want. That our banks not only didn't fall over, 1760 01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:50,479 Speaker 2: but they boomed, so therefore the chances of a bank 1761 01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:52,920 Speaker 2: falling over is about zero. It would mean greater risk 1762 01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:55,720 Speaker 2: of a bank failure, increasing the risks that the economic 1763 01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:58,880 Speaker 2: and social costs associated with banking failures would fall on 1764 01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:02,120 Speaker 2: New Zealand households and bus businesses. That's an alarmist view 1765 01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:04,240 Speaker 2: of the world. And if I was willis I'd do 1766 01:25:04,240 --> 01:25:05,880 Speaker 2: something about it. I'll tell you what. If I was Willis, 1767 01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:11,519 Speaker 2: i'd write a letter. Tesla sales out this morning.
