1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Out to Mount Summer Station. David Acklands. Did you ever

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: meet Jim bolgerm morning, No, I don't know.

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 2: I didn't have the privilege of meeting Jim Boulger. No,

4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 2: it's very well. He served using and well and he's

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 2: lived a very positive life, didn't he really said?

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: But not tragic? Yeah, grew up on the farm in Tartanaki,

7
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: left school early to work the farm before entering politics

8
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy two. I would argue that we need more

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: politicians like that.

10
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: Yes, a long time to serve the country, isn't it?

11
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: In politics ninety seventy two? When did he retire in

12
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: ninety eight?

13
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: Got ousted by our very own Jenny Shipley.

14
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, and it's a long time to serve

15
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 2: the country. It's dedication, isn't it too? Right? Hey?

16
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: Talking elected officials, we have a new mayor in Liz

17
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: McMillan coming in after six years of Neil Brown and

18
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: talking those who go from the farm to the office.

19
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: He's someone who touted himself as a bit of a

20
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: champion for the reble sector. What's you hope for Liz

21
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: and this new council?

22
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: Well, WE'REO and mccinary to have a good counsel and

23
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: where they all seem to work well together and bring

24
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: forward ideas and debate and getting them embedded into mccinnery.

25
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: So I think we're just really fortunate and mcfeeds will

26
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: look forward to working with them, and I'm sure there's

27
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: will continue to continue to push mccinnerry's case at a

28
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: national level as well, which is critical. And for the

29
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: Winston Ward, it's great we've got three with Liz there,

30
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: We've got you know, we've got three people around the

31
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 2: table for the Western Wards. It's always a positive.

32
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: I see that this week the government lowered those national

33
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: methane targets fourteen to twenty four percent, saving apparently twenty

34
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: percent of sheep and beef farms. Surely the best news

35
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: in all of this, David has to be the assurance

36
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: that there's not going to be any pricing on emissions.

37
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: That saga with Woka I was a nightmare.

38
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: Yeah it was. And a number of people have been

39
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: involved in this debate with trying to find a solution

40
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: to this, well a solution away forward was this for well, yeah,

41
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: since the beginning of herewalking and so yeah, you're right,

42
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 2: the pricing went off the table. That's probably the best

43
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: part of the whole the whole thing, and that yeah,

44
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: that will give us confidence. Hopefully it's and hopefully that

45
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 2: stucks around with if we do have a change a

46
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: government that you know, we don't need pricing. Pricing wasn't

47
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 2: going to work to change change the how we tackle

48
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: the methane problem. I think we've already seen a good

49
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: trajectory happening and you right around you know, the loss

50
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 2: of farming due to that. An ability to really change

51
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: that would have had twenty percent reduction in sheep and beef,

52
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: and I think it was a center eight percent reduction

53
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 2: in the airy as well. So that was just not

54
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 2: a good outcompanies doing really So No, it's good change,

55
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: good move, and and it is scientific. It is based

56
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: on you know, the recommendations of a of a panel

57
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: of people that know about me saying.

58
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll take it. And do I hear that it's

59
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: blowing a gale that you'll play that.

60
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: Is it is building again. It's just been one of

61
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: those springs, hasn't it. We've had constant It feels like

62
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: constant Northwest. I wouldn't want to be a spray contractor

63
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 2: in the foothills.

64
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: It is helping to warm things up because we've had

65
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: a slow start when it comes to the growing conditions.

66
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 2: I don't think it's been very helpful all it's Yeah,

67
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 2: it's just been we've had we haven't had hot Northwest.

68
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 2: We've sort of had these This morning, it's relatively cold blow. Yeah.

69
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: Well it hasn't quite reached us in town yet, so yeah.

70
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: Although the other day when I think we had those gales,

71
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 2: those red warnings, I think it went straight over the

72
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: top of us and hit down country. But Sunday we

73
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: had just constant for ninety one hundred k wins. It

74
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: was just a bugger of a day really,
