Rod Liddle joins us out of the UK. Pasky, 8 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 2: Welcome to the day, seven past six Lux and it 9 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 2: appears is going to have a crack at what he 10 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 2: termed on this program yesterday an elevated discussion over assets. 11 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 2: Now I wish him well for that for a couple 12 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 2: of reasons. One, I'm all for better, more informed public debate, 13 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 2: and iiO this place needs to rock it in terms 14 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 2: of delivery on assets. The real story, of course, about 15 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 2: the discussion is not the discussion, but what started it. 16 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 2: And what started it was he and Renny at Treasury 17 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 2: in his report that essentially says we can't grow our 18 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,599 Speaker 2: way out of the long term fiscal mess we're in. 19 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 2: We need to sell some stuff. This is as big 20 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 2: a red flag as you would ever want to see. 21 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 2: Read the government books last week. Despite it all taxes down, 22 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 2: we aren't running a surplus, still borrowing to keep the 23 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 2: lights on for goodness sake. Economic growth even when it 24 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 2: does arrive, won't fix that. That is scary. So the 25 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 2: elevated bit is the part where he tries to convince 26 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 2: you that we can take the money from an asset 27 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 2: and reuse it better, get a better return, grow a 28 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 2: business in different ways like Fonterra well with the Lactala sale. 29 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 2: Consumer brands aren't there thing they can better spend their billions, 30 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 2: they argue. In other ways, they only had farmers to convince, 31 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,559 Speaker 2: though Luckson's got at least thirty five percent of voters 32 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 2: to convince, along with act who's probably already on board 33 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 2: in New Zealand first voters who may or may not be. 34 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 2: That is the elevated bit. The idea of best using 35 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 2: your money is a sound one, of course. Convincing people 36 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 2: that and how it's going to play out though, that's 37 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 2: a whole different political problem. And that's before you get 38 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 2: to the politically charged bit of what actually you're going 39 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 2: to sell TV and ZEN. I mean, no one would 40 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 2: really care, but then it's worth nothing anyway, What about 41 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 2: a power company? What about an airline? That's where you 42 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 2: get the xenophobia, the foreign takeover talk, also the bit 43 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: where you will it becomes really obvious really quickly. We 44 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 2: don't actually have a lot left to sell. So election 45 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 2: year twenty twenty six an elevated discussion. Can a sensible, 46 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 2: possibly slightly complex idea be floated and sold in the 47 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 2: heat of a battle for your electoral life? Should be fun. 48 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,399 Speaker 3: News of the world in ninety. 49 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: Seconds seems time to ivestake the damage and the resulting 50 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 2: damage control enveloping the BBC right now, the cheer is 51 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 2: out in the battle. 52 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 4: There's also an impression given that we've listened to these 53 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 4: concerns and we've done nothing, and that is also not 54 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 4: an accurate representation of both what mister Prescott says and 55 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 4: what the BBC has done. 56 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 2: As there's a former head of News who fell on 57 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 2: a sword yesterday. 58 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 5: I'd like to make one thing very clear. 59 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 6: BBC News is not institutionally biased. That's why is the 60 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 6: world's most trusted news provider, as are the Tories. 61 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 7: It's not just the Donald Trump panor Armor program. 62 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 2: It's the coverage in Gata, It's the issue with transwrtes. 63 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 8: It's a whole range of issues that we see bias 64 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 8: pervading the BBC. 65 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 9: So apologizing is one thing, taking action is another. 66 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 10: As his farage, I spoke to the President on Friday. 67 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 10: He just said to me, is this how you treat 68 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 10: your best ally? I mean, people talk about election interference. 69 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 10: What the BBC did was election interference. 70 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 2: So I take a couple of things. The shoutdown of 71 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 2: IBA did. 72 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 11: The Senate's vote last late last night of sixty to 73 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 11: forty opens the door. Now the Senate is moving forward 74 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 11: on an amended House c R Continuan resolution that will 75 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 11: reopen the government until January thirtieth. 76 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 2: I'll work you through that in just a moment, because 77 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 2: it's moderately complicated at least definitely by the way, I 78 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 2: want to crack at the New York governor's job. 79 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 3: I'm focused on making New York moret affordable. 80 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 12: How do we do that? 81 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 3: We cut taxes. 82 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 13: Kathy Hokele, who has a record of raising taxes and says, oh, 83 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 13: she's going to negotiate with mom. 84 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 3: Dammy, I'm the only candidate who's going to cut taxes. 85 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 14: Voters are smart. 86 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 15: They know that she lies to them to try to 87 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 15: get elected. 88 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 2: Finally, seems the International Omnipic Committee has done a bit 89 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 2: of a utn on the transgender policy. Currently they leave 90 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: it up to the individual'sport of course. However, The Times, 91 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 2: as in the paper in reporting the IOC, or as 92 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 2: reporting the IOC, will rule the transgender female athletes will 93 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 2: be prohibited from competing against biological women. It's expected to 94 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 2: be announced in February, ahead of those Winter Olympics in Italy. 95 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 2: The news of the world in ninety yeah, eight Democrats flipped, 96 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 2: so there are some I'm assuming there's some payback on that, 97 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 2: but I'll work your throat. It's got to go from 98 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 2: the Senate to the House, et cetera, et cetera. But 99 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 2: more in a moment. Meantime, the airports still aren't operating, 100 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 2: and today the FAA, the Federal Aviation Administration, limiting private 101 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 2: flights at dozens of major US airports. So the mess 102 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 2: still far from resolve. It is eleven past six. 103 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 104 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: by NEWSTALKSB. 105 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 2: Seems to be part of Tuesday. Juliani's out. He's been 106 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 2: pardoned former chief of staff Mark Meadows is out as well. 107 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 2: A couple of names you won't necessarily know ed Martin 108 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 2: Sidney Powell and John Eastman. They're all involved with Trump 109 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 2: and they all deny. They goes back to twenty twenty, 110 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 2: you know the story. Anyway, they've all been pardoned this morning. 111 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 2: Nicholas Sarkozy hasn't been pardoned, but he has been let 112 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 2: out on appeal, so he's back home as well. And 113 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 2: we'll get to Catherine before seven fourteen past, I'm sure 114 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 2: on partners. Andrew Callah, good morning, Yeah, good morning market, 115 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 2: So the PaperWorks still to do. But what's the market 116 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 2: think of the deal done? 117 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 8: Yeah, cautiously cheering overnight what appears to be a sort 118 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 8: of potential breakthrough and what is the longest US government shutdown? Now, 119 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 8: we started seeing this during our trading day yesterday, Mike, 120 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 8: so when the futures markets sort of started picking up, 121 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 8: and so we saw quite positive reactions across the Asian 122 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 8: markets and you've seen it in the European markets as well. 123 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 7: So the US main session trading is carried on from there. 124 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 8: So, as you said, the US Senator advanced a plan 125 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 8: that will allow these shutdown potentially to end so you've 126 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 8: had this group of Democrat senators as you referred to, 127 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 8: have broken with a part of LEAs and voters support 128 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 8: a deal and goes back to the House representatives. So 129 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 8: not happy families amongst the Democrats. Some concessions have been made. 130 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 8: I think there is a pledge to have a vote 131 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 8: on healthcare at some point, and I'll let you might 132 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 8: follow up as you obviously will over this the morning 133 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 8: on all the politics of it. But from a market 134 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 8: point of view, I think the key issue is that 135 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 8: you start to get some data flowing again we haven't 136 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 8: had data, so you get things like the job started 137 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 8: will hopefully be produced CPI, and that them provides clarity 138 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 8: for people like the Federal Reserve, not only them, but 139 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 8: also market participants, so remove some potential uncertainty. Markets react 140 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 8: very negatively negatively to uncertainty. The biggest reaction has been 141 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 8: in the tech heavy Nasdaq and that so I guess 142 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 8: my concern, Mike those is whether the deal is whether 143 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 8: this is just kicking the can down the road, which 144 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 8: talks of jam thirty so we'll do this all again 145 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 8: when we come back. But of course does get the 146 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 8: airport's moving, people can fly around for Thanksgiving and Christmas. 147 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 7: We really now need to see how this what happens 148 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 7: through the rest of the through the. 149 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 2: Process right back home. Vital we probably don't know the name, 150 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 2: but Ascott and Wakefield are very well known. 151 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 7: That's dead right. So it's one of those ones which 152 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 7: you're probably aware of but not aware of. 153 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 8: So Vital Healthcare went into a trading hot Yes, if 154 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 8: you're not familiar with them. 155 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 7: They are a listed property company. 156 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 8: They're the only specialist owner of healthcare property listed on 157 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 8: the Interdex. 158 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 7: So quite a niche sector. 159 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 8: But you're looking here at private hospitals, age care facilities 160 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 8: and outpatient buildings in Australia. You've got Ascott, You've got 161 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 8: Bullcot down in Wellington, Ascot and green Lane. Market capitalization 162 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 8: of circa one and a half billion dollars, so it's 163 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 8: quite a big business. Trading was halted yesterday in shares 164 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 8: as it went to shareholders to raise two hundred and 165 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 8: twenty million to effectively buy itself out of its management contract. 166 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 8: So what happens here is the trust owns the assets, 167 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 8: but management of those assets and the balance sheets that's 168 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 8: outsourcedince this case is to a Canadian fund manager. Called 169 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 8: Northwest Healthcare Properties Management. So the idea behind this deals 170 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 8: that vital shareholders will benefit from no longer paying a 171 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 8: fee to Northwest for the management. Instead, an internal team 172 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 8: will look after the assets. Should save in about twenty 173 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 8: million dollars a year. The common wisdom is this better 174 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 8: aligance shareholders and management interests. 175 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 7: The issue, of course is that Northwest here. 176 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 8: Has perpetual management rights, so you've got to buy them 177 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 8: out of the contract in this case for two hundred 178 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 8: and fourteen million dollars. 179 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 7: Now, this has happened with other property trust Mike. 180 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 8: We saw this with Precinct, saw this Goodman property as well, 181 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 8: So there's a sort of trend away from external management 182 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 8: to internalized management. New shares have been sold approximately attempt 183 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 8: cent discount, should resume trading today, and I guess the 184 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 8: context here, mic is that the property trust sector has 185 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 8: enjoyed quite as stronger and recently because those falling interest rates, 186 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 8: it sort of increased the attractiveness of what are relatively 187 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,079 Speaker 8: stable dividends and distribution. 188 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 7: So action on the internet. 189 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 2: Hey, listen, I just quickly, what's the state of the 190 00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 2: current vintage of Sophia. 191 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 7: Well, I can't talk about the current ventures. 192 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,719 Speaker 8: But I did drink some twenty fifteen and it was 193 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 8: magnificent nice, yeah, very quick.

Thank you. 245 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 2: Eight twenty one here a News Talks EDB. 246 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: Good the Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio 247 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:39,839 Speaker 1: powered by News Talks EDB. 248 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 7: Yeah. 249 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 2: The interesting thing that there's going to be political fallout 250 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 2: about this end of the shutdown. Eight senators, as Andrew 251 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 2: alluded to, flipped, that's not the main thing, mate. So 252 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 2: what they agreed on reversal of all permanent layoffs, set's 253 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 2: good guarantees that all federal workers will be paid normal 254 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 2: salaries during that shutdown, includes provisions for having a bipartisan 255 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 2: budget process preventing the White House from US and continuing 256 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 2: resolutions to fund the government. All that stuff's fine, but 257 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 2: the key loss for the Democrats, if you want to 258 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 2: make it political, does not include an agreement to extend 259 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,839 Speaker 2: the Affordable Care Act and those tax credits. That was 260 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 2: a major sticking point for the Democrats. Now here's the problem. 261 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 2: Not only did the Democrats flip eight of them rolled, 262 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 2: but what was apparently the reason for being your uss 263 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 2: on debt all of a sudden isn't So There'll be 264 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 2: many Democratic supporters going, what the hell was the point 265 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 2: of that six twenty five trending? 266 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 3: Now with them warehouse the real house of frequencies. 267 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 2: Speaking, which sort of a related matters. The Donald was 268 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 2: at the football yesterday. Commanders were playing the lines. They 269 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 2: may or may not end up naming the new Washington 270 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 2: Stadium after him. We told you about this this time yesterday. Anyway, 271 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 2: he swore in some new members of the military at 272 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 2: half time. Then he hit the Fox Sports commentary booth. 273 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 17: They played Titan But I mean it was not quite 274 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 17: football like this. It was a little bit easier. It 275 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 17: wasn't so tough. We had a quarterback who didn't have 276 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 17: a very strong arm. I would say ten yards was 277 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 17: a long pass. 278 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 13: We were trying to look up your stats and we 279 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 13: wanted to know how many touchdowns did you have back 280 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 13: then seven. 281 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 17: I'm not sure I had any. It's a long time ago. 282 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,439 Speaker 17: But at least you realized that I never tell a lie. 283 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 2: Right then, he did some play by play while the 284 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 2: Commanders were in the rid zone down thirty two teen. 285 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 14: Would you like to call a plane? Well, I would 286 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 14: like to do that if you'd like me to. 287 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 17: But I will say that your first three quarterback has 288 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 17: the potential, I think to be a great quarterback. He's 289 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 17: got to stop the injuries somehow. And let's see we 290 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 17: have a very important I think it's a very important 291 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 17: couple of plays. Here we go seven, right, second and seven. 292 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 17: Let's see what happens. 293 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 3: Well, that's all right, crosskey, Marrit not bad. 294 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 2: Takes a time to the five yard line. 295 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 17: That's right, that's right, good, good runner. 296 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 16: There we go. 297 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 17: This is a very big play. Don't you think I 298 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 17: think they have to get a touchdout. Let's put it differently. 299 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 17: They just have to get it there he go. Now 300 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 17: you're doing because that's what I was going to say. 301 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, So, not the greatest commentator at least he was 302 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 2: in he seemed he seemed almost likable, almost likable. The 303 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 2: Lions went on to win forty two twenty two, as 304 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 2: they should have. The references to a guy it's Jaden 305 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 2: Daniels isn't as danders yees so anyway, he's a young guy. 306 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 2: He's a hot talent quarterback for the Commanders, but keeps 307 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 2: on injuring himself and if that happens, he's unfortunately never 308 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 2: going anywhere. He's currently out. He injured himself last week. 309 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 2: So the Lions won forty four to twenty two. That 310 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 2: leaves the Lions at six and three and the Commanders 311 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 2: at three and seven. The Commanders at the beginning of 312 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 2: the season actually looked like they might be something, but 313 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 2: now they're not. What was the game I watched yesterday? 314 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 2: The one late in the afternoon was a disaster, That 315 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 2: was Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers loss. But earlier on 316 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 2: in the day the Patriots won, and the Patriots are 317 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 2: back in a big, big way. Yeah, was at the Bucks. 318 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 2: It was That was the one I was excited about 319 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 2: because the Bucks and the Patriots are both real contenders 320 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 2: this season, so you were thinking he was going to 321 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 2: come out on top, and as it turns out, it 322 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 2: was the Patriots.

There's been 343 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 18: some negative media coverage recently around a couple of things 344 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 18: to do with quality for that type of housing, specifically 345 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 18: overheating and also some issues with ventilation. And we think 346 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 18: that buyers can benefit from a bit more understanding about 347 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 18: what works and what doesn't this type I and so. 348 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 2: Has this been a Buiaberware type scenario, because I would 349 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 2: argue that you know, in the marketplace, if you're building 350 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 2: shonky houses, no one's buying them because there's others to 351 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 2: choose from, or is what's happening These people are buying 352 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 2: them with no idea of how hot you're going to 353 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 2: get and how badly designed the place is. 354 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 18: Yeah, I think, you know, building townhouses is a relatively 355 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 18: new typology in New Zealand. We've had about one hundred 356 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 18: and fifty odd years for you know, a fairly standard 357 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 18: standalone house on a large section to develop, whereas it's 358 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 18: only been in the last ten years or so that 359 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 18: a lot more townhouses have been built. So I do 360 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 18: think there has been a bit of a lack of 361 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 18: buyer awareness and you know, that's that's something I'm hoping 362 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 18: to have a conversation about, how. 363 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 2: Does the whole system work or not work? How is 364 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 2: it possible if you go back to England, they've been 365 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 2: living in these sort of townhouse time operations for hundreds 366 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 2: of years. How is it that it's news in New 367 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 2: Zealand and nobody from the council down thought about how 368 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 2: to design something properly. 369 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 7: Yeah. 370 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 18: I think we've been quite lucky in New Zealand and 371 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 18: we've had the luxury of having a bit more land 372 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 18: and a bit less population density. And I think it 373 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 18: is that change in population density and changes in housing affordability, 374 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 18: changing households and lifestyles that are driving than the change 375 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,360 Speaker 18: towards more townhouse development. 376 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 2: Is it just cost? 377 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 18: I think predominantly there's a cost factor. And I think 378 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 18: it's also to do with household sizes. You know, the 379 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 18: average household size so New Zealand is now two point 380 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 18: seven people, So we used to demand for really large housing. 381 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 18: Isn't there as much as it could have been in 382 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 18: the past. Also, people's lifestyles wanting to live a bit 383 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 18: closer to town, live in suburbs, you know, close to 384 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 18: their existing relationships. But you don't get me wrong with 385 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 18: affordability is a mass effector in that as well? 386 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 2: Of course, how do you tell one townhouse from another, 387 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 2: one that's badly built and is going to heat up 388 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 2: and kill you versus one that's really beautiful. 389 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 18: That's part of the problem really, you know, the building 390 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 18: Code doesn't really provide there's no provision in there for overheating. 391 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 18: There's no provision in there for you know, providing really 392 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 18: good ventilation above the the A minimum. So we think, 393 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 18: you know, there's some good tools out there. We're a 394 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 18: member of the Green Building Council, which provides a tool 395 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 18: called Echo which can measure overheating. It also provides an 396 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 18: independent standard called home Star where you can sort of 397 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 18: crack the quality of this housing over and above the 398 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 18: A minimum and the building Code. So there are tools 399 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 18: out there, and I think it's about people having good 400 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 18: conversations with the builders or developers that they're potentially purchasing 401 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 18: from exactly and understanding. 402 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 2: Well, let's hope we've spoked the conversation. Let's hope people 403 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 2: become aware. Dan Richardson, who's the director of KR Construction, 404 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 2: it seems my entire life we've had problem with housing 405 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 2: in this country. Haven't built enough, then built too many, 406 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 2: then we've built ones that leak, and then we decided 407 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 2: to rules on the ones that leak. There's an apartment 408 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 2: building around the corner for me at the moment, brand 409 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 2: new building still leaks all these years later after a 410 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 2: leaky still building leak. It's just like we don't seem 411 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 2: to be able to get it right. 412 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: Nineteen two The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on 413 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio powered by newstalksp. 414 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 2: Let's face it, the way we do business moved on 415 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 2: from landlines, face to face meetings, all that stuff mostly 416 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 2: online these days, meaning your Internet connection vital investments.

To this nationwide call. 438 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 2: The appeal came from a person called Kim Davis, former 439 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 2: Kentucky court Clark. She was the one who refused to 440 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 2: issue marriage licenses to same sex couples. This was when 441 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 2: they ruled originally in twenty fifteen. So the lawyers repeatedly 442 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 2: invoked the words of Clarence Thomas, who was among the 443 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 2: nine justices at the time. He's among four dissenting justices 444 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 2: back in twenty fifteen. Roberts was the other one. Alito's 445 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 2: still there.

The upshot is they got 447 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 2: nowhere six. 448 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 19: Forty five international correspondence with ends in eye insurance Peace 449 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 19: of mind for New Zealand business in France. 450 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 2: Is Tuesday morning, paspe morning to you, good morning. Make 451 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 2: the Sarkozy thing, is they much uproar or is this 452 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 2: just what happens when you when you're appealing and you're 453 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 2: not a flight risk, you can go sit at home 454 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 2: and wait for your trial. 455 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 6: Indeed, that seems to be it age and the fact 456 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 6: that he's a former head of state clearly came into this. 457 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 6: The appeals court this morning ruled that he could be 458 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 6: freed from prison pending that appeal over the allegations that 459 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 6: he was part of a scheme that got funding from Libya. 460 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 6: There were several things the judge came up with. The 461 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 6: most importantly was that he was not a flight risk. 462 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 6: This is a man who can't just sort of jump 463 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 6: on a plane and go somewhere and no one would notice. 464 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 6: Said that he'd behaved and had abided by court orders. 465 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 6: And then the other point they came up with was 466 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 6: that Sarkozy himself said the trial of jail was enough 467 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 6: to deter any breach of the restrictions that would be 468 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 6: placed on him. So, after what twenty days in Paris 469 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 6: prison for criminal conspiracy, he was picked up by his wife, 470 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 6: full model Carla Bruni and taken home, where he will 471 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 6: no doubt stay. A couple of hours after he got home, 472 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 6: it was announced that, in a break with tradition, he 473 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 6: will not be among those the November eleventh Remembrance state 474 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 6: service at the after Trimph in Paris. 475 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 2: Okay, this Belgian thing over the weekend, how many times 476 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,719 Speaker 2: do airports need to be buzzed by Russian drones before 477 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 2: Europe goes beyond having yet more meetings and tought we 478 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 2: better do something and actually does something. 479 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 6: There did a lot of problems about what you'd actually do, 480 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 6: but yeah, it became more of a problem on Sunday 481 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 6: night in Belgium because five drones were spotted over a 482 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 6: nuclear power plant. And this came a couple of hours 483 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 6: after an airport in the Age eastern Belgium had to 484 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 6: be closed down again surge of drone activity around that. 485 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 6: Here's the problem, Mike is shooting these things down. Yes, 486 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 6: the Brits, the French and the Germans are going to 487 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 6: be sending personnel and equipment to try and do something 488 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 6: about this disruption, which is not just happening in Belgium, 489 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 6: but Belgium seems to be the focus at the moment. Yeah, 490 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 6: shooting these things down is very difficult. Not only do 491 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 6: you have to have the equipment there, which France definitely 492 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 6: has got, but then you have the concern about where 493 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 6: the debris fought will fall into someone's front room, and 494 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 6: if there's explosion on board, are you going to blow 495 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 6: up that house. All these things you know it could be, 496 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 6: are an issue. Really, So what they're working on is 497 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 6: they interfere with the electronics on these drones. This is 498 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,239 Speaker 6: all the sort of technology that should have been up 499 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 6: and running because, as you're right to say, this is 500 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 6: something that's been going on for some time and they 501 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 6: have had the kit to be able to do something. 502 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 6: The next question is why Belgium and why has it 503 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 6: been over the last week the airport and the capitol 504 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 6: was closed down, The port and Antwerp was closed down. 505 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 6: There's a possible link where Russia. The Defense Ministry says 506 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 6: it's more likely than not Russia is behind it, and 507 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 6: that could be the possible link to discussions over the 508 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 6: use of frozen Russian assets held by a financial firm 509 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 6: in Belgium because the EU you want to use that 510 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 6: to fund a loan to Ukraine. So that could be 511 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 6: why Belgium is in the forefront of these drone attacks. 512 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 2: If I had a tin hat, Catherine, and I'm looking 513 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 2: at the photo of the Fedoramain and I'm saying, I'm 514 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 2: looking at the for door Remain and I'm going he 515 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 2: just happened to be there, and he's dressed the way 516 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 2: he is, and he happens to be a fan. I'm 517 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 2: thinking I could draw some dots. I mean, what do 518 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 2: you reckon? I mean, it's the weirdest photo in the world, 519 00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 2: isn't it. 520 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 7: Yeah, You're right, it is. 521 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 14: I mean apparently and I apparently. 522 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:04,439 Speaker 11: This is what he says. 523 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 6: This fifteen year old boy, Pedro, who lives in the 524 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 6: southwest of Paris. He dresses like that all the time. 525 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 6: His dress code is Classics nineteen forty is ventage. This 526 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 6: is how he dresses. And that was just a fluke 527 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 6: that on that day he was wearing that three piece 528 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 6: suit or a hat, which he's been wearing all for 529 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 6: the last couple of weeks. And he just happened to 530 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 6: be going to the Louver on that day with his 531 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 6: mum and one of his grandparents and he there he was. 532 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 6: He was standing in front of the police. Apparently he 533 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 6: didn't know about the highest he turned up. He was 534 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 6: talking to the police and that was when a photographer 535 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 6: took that snap. 536 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, he says he. 537 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 6: Laid low because it was quite amusing to what the 538 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 6: internet does that went up around. 539 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 2: It's not surprised, all right, nice to catch up Catherine 540 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 2: Field in France. The only reason I give him the 541 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 2: benefit of that when I was nineteen years old and 542 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 2: I was working for four ex oneder Need, I wore 543 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 2: three piece suits and so you think, what weirdo. He's 544 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 2: not the only weirdo out there, by the way, people 545 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 2: are on the streets of Lisbon at the moment. In Portugal, 546 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 2: their government, which is sort of center right these days, 547 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 2: wants to change a few laws around work, you know, 548 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 2: how you sack people and stuff like that, and the 549 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 2: unions don't like it. So they're on the street. And 550 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 2: if you want to read a really interesting piece about renewables, 551 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 2: which is where we're heading, look at the BBC piece 552 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 2: of red over the weekend Netherlands renewables dry, putting pressure 553 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 2: on the power grids. So they're all they're all gun ho. 554 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 2: They all love the evs and they all love the 555 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 2: solar and the wind and all the other stuff, but 556 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 2: their stuff. They're increasingly dealing with power cuts on an 557 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 2: ongoing basis. So look that up and have a read 558 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 2: and wonder to hear yourself whether we're heading in the 559 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 2: same direction. 560 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 1: Nine to seven, the Mike asking breakfast with Beiley's real 561 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: estate news talks. 562 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 2: They'd be Mikes Labour even going to need the Murray Party. 563 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 2: The Murray voters will probably vote for Labour. Now, well, 564 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 2: what makes you say that? And I highly doubt they'll 565 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 2: get above four percent. The four percent is not relevant. 566 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 2: It's a five percent threshold. And more importantly, the Murray 567 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 2: Party aren't above that threshold, never have been, never will be. 568 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 2: They win the electorate seats, so the key is the 569 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 2: electorate seat. So yes they will. But interesting point, my 570 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 2: can'd design houses in Auckland? People now want standalone houses? 571 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 12: Again? 572 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 2: Is that true? Stats don't say that council only focus 573 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 2: on bulkan location, not the actual design and aesthetics like 574 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 2: other countries. It's back to front antiquated thought process that 575 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 2: produces ugly crap. Steve on that I wholeheartedly agree. Five 576 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:19,919 Speaker 2: minutes away from seven. 577 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 3: For the ins are the outs. It's the fizz with 578 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 3: business fiber. Take your business productivity to the next list. 579 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 2: Here we go, Greenshoots, Central Countries SME Smeth's feeling confident, confident, 580 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 2: confident about the economy. So we got data from Prosper's 581 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,719 Speaker 2: SMEs Sentiment Tracker report. Ninety two percent. That's virtually everyone. 582 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 2: I mean, let's just say everyone very or somewhat confident 583 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 2: about the next twelve months ninety one percent. So the 584 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 2: confident with about the next five years what next five years? Interestingly, 585 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 2: doesn't necessarily translate to the profits. The report describes the 586 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 2: mood as high self confidence, lower market optimism though seventy 587 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 2: two percent. So they expect profits to rise or remain steady. 588 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 2: I mean, that's not bad. Tenty two percent. Three quarters, 589 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 2: that's the bulk. Twenty six percent expect profits to decline. 590 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 2: Business health ratings down. Fifty five percent say their business 591 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 2: is good, down from sixty two percent last year. I 592 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 2: don't even know what good means. I mean, what a 593 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 2: vague word that is? What are the issues, Well, you 594 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 2: know what they are, rising costs, revenue and market demand, 595 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 2: economic environment, workforce and staffing issues. I mean that's all 596 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 2: the same thing, really, but fifty one percent rising costs 597 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 2: the biggest. Staffing and recruitment still the largest cost, followed 598 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 2: by government payments and tax SMEs are adapting instead of 599 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 2: just waiting for recovery. They're going through the options, is 600 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 2: what they're doing. Thirty four percent or adjusting pricing, thirty 601 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 2: one percent of diversifying their offerings, thirty one percent of 602 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 2: investing in marketing and promotion avenues, twenty eight percent of 603 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 2: hiring more staff. So twenty eight percent of hiring more staff. 604 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 2: That's encouraging. That'll reflect the job ads that are up. 605 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 2: All those numbers are ups and saful, so I mean 606 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 2: you can't argue with that. Broadly speaking, that is a 607 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 2: pretty positive picture about SMEs. And you know how I mean, 608 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 2: is it ninety something percent of SMEs make up the 609 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 2: New Zealand economy, a country of small and medium businesses. 610 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 2: Basically right, the Maray Party do we care? First question, 611 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 2: do we care of some minor bit of political frippery 612 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 2: on the side want to go and implode do we care? 613 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 2: So what I can't understand is the business of the 614 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 2: council be the caucus. Where's the walker jumping law involved 615 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 2: in this? And given two of the six leaders, that's 616 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 2: the third of the caucus all by itself. So you've 617 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 2: got the numbers problem there. So anyway, what's going on 618 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 2: will get some inside after the news, which is next. 619 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 2: You're a news talk said, be. 620 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 3: Credible, compelling. 621 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: The breakfast show you confess it's the Mic Hosking breakfast 622 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: with Bailey's real Estate doing real estate differently since nineteen 623 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: seventy three news talks head be. 624 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 2: Well seven past seven, Well is quite the show. The 625 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 2: Murray party, you're expelling cup Kinging and Ferris. Of course 626 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 2: they'll become independence. They're going to fight at whatever that means. 627 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 2: Baden Barbara is the spokesperson for the Ebechair's Forum and. 628 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 15: Is with us. 629 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 2: Baden morning to you morning. What your role in this 630 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 2: and what happened yesterday? Is this all part of the 631 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 2: plan or not? 632 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 9: No, no, no, no no no. We've we were trying 633 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 9: to get to a meeting together on Wednesday actually to 634 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 9: see if we could find a way forward. But this, 635 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 9: you know, this has been a process that's been happening 636 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 9: within the initial Council of the Maori Party and then 637 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 9: they've come up with their decision. 638 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 2: When you say Wednesday you mean tomorrow. Is that still 639 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 2: going ahead? Is there any point? 640 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 9: No, it's not going ahead. We're going to hold off 641 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 9: on the on the meeting Tucketa and Mediumental. You know, 642 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 9: they've got things to consider, what their nixt moves are, 643 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 9: and yeah, there was probably not going to be the 644 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 9: best time day that we. 645 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 2: Can you explain to us in really simple terms, when 646 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 2: what does it these two have done specifically? 647 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 9: I'm not too sure. I'm not too sure that the 648 00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 9: grounds is why they've been kicked out of the party. 649 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 2: See, isn't that the problem? No one seems to know 650 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 2: what's going on. 651 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 9: Well, I mean, would we had our meeting with the 652 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 9: co leaders. I mean there were some issues there, but 653 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 9: whether or not those specific issues were the reasons why 654 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 9: they were kicked out, yeah, yeah, But yet we've always 655 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 9: identified that as a problem that they're not talking to 656 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:22,719 Speaker 9: each other.

She a sensible person 726 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 2: will do right by you or this could go pair shape. 727 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 16: Look, she's actually quite well respected, and she's well respected 728 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 16: within the firearms community, and she used to be an educator, 729 00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,320 Speaker 16: so she worked for the Mountain Safety Council, were the 730 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,319 Speaker 16: EWE groups on a program called Fuckatu Patou which helped 731 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,439 Speaker 16: to get outreach on safet use of firearm. So within 732 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,919 Speaker 16: the community she's seen of someone that might be able 733 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 16: to walk the fine line between, you know, balancing public 734 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 16: safety and everyone's interest in having the lawful use of 735 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 16: fire arm. So there's a lot of trust in her 736 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 16: and hopefully she uses that wisely when she rewrites the fact. 737 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,919 Speaker 2: All right, we'll see what she has to say today. 738 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,319 Speaker 2: Gwin appreciated Gwin Thurlow, who's the boss of the Dear 739 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 2: Stalker's Association. Thirteen minutes past seven light. So over the 740 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 2: last six weeks, all this in finding among the Marory party, 741 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 2: what value have they provided their constituents in even the 742 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 2: position they hold while earning a significant income. It's a 743 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,440 Speaker 2: very good point. They're not the first political party to 744 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 2: have a meltdown, of course, so let's not make it 745 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,240 Speaker 2: a race based thing. And a lot of you asking 746 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 2: about the coverage. How can the Mary Party get so 747 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,360 Speaker 2: much coverage? Will every time a political party implodes in 748 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,719 Speaker 2: this country, there's plenty of coverage for it. But your 749 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 2: point about the policy, and this is what the Prime 750 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,839 Speaker 2: Minister was saying post conference yesterday. They are a joke, 751 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,879 Speaker 2: They are an embarrassment. There is nothing about policy. It's 752 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 2: all performative and if they implode in disapplaire, I don't 753 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,120 Speaker 2: think anyone's going to miss the thirteen. 754 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 755 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:06,919 Speaker 1: by News Talks. 756 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 2: A'd be Antonia Watson is the CEO of AIN said, 757 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 2: of course a very successful profit yesterday, although you use 758 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 2: bank and profit together and you get a bit of 759 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 2: angst in this country at the moment. So she's with us. 760 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 2: After seven thirty sixteen past new report, this one into 761 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 2: the government's promised to cut same red tape? Are they yes? 762 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,800 Speaker 2: So what have we got? A year on positive steps 763 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 2: in reducing compliance cost? Most issues are showing progress, so 764 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 2: this is all good. We've seen the hairdressing regulations of course, 765 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,319 Speaker 2: the employment leave disputes, the government procurement, the anti money 766 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 2: laundering rules changed anyway. Catherine rich Is the Business New 767 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,479 Speaker 2: Zealand boss and is back with us. Catherine, good morning, 768 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 2: good morning. From what they've done out of ten, ten 769 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,439 Speaker 2: is perfect, ones a bust. What's your number? 770 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 15: I'd say about a seven. I mean there's more progress 771 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 15: to be made in a number of areas. But changes 772 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 15: to some of the things you mentioned are pretty significant. 773 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 15: Changes to government procurement, getting rid of forty years of 774 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 15: stupid hairdressing laws, health and safety holidays acts. It's a 775 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 15: lot of good work. Some haven't engaged though, so this 776 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 15: room for progress. 777 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,360 Speaker 2: The Ministry of Regulation. Is this all they're doing and 778 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 2: therefore is this a justifiable ministry? 779 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 15: They have been part of the change. I mean they 780 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 15: are another place for business to take some of their concerns. 781 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:24,400 Speaker 15: But when the Business New Zealand Network did this survey 782 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 15: of small business, we actually took the results to about 783 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,360 Speaker 15: seven different government departments. So most of the government departments 784 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 15: have been engaging, some haven't. 785 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 2: Is that part of why the Ministry of Regulation may 786 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 2: well work? There are too many government departments overseeing each 787 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 2: other's work and therefore it becomes problematic and unproductive. 788 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,879 Speaker 15: Well, it's another way in to raise issues. So that's 789 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 15: why I am a fan of the Ministry for Regulation. 790 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 15: It's been a way of raising issues with departments, particularly 791 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,239 Speaker 15: if the department doesn't want to put stuff into their 792 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 15: work program. So you know, overall, I think the progress 793 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 15: has been good one year on where we're pretty pleased 794 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,359 Speaker 15: with some of the responses from departments, but there's work 795 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,880 Speaker 15: to be done. ACC I think needs to make some 796 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 15: changes on case management and helping businesses clarify when people 797 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:20,360 Speaker 15: can get back to work. Business usum's a champion for 798 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 15: the small business, so this is just another way we 799 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 15: keep the pressure on good. 800 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 2: But the hair dressing, as much as I'm all in 801 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 2: favor of getting rid of red tape and all it, 802 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 2: so the hairdressing stuff was almost comedic, wasn't it. I 803 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 2: mean stupid laws yes, and get rid of them, yes, 804 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 2: But it didn't change the world, did it. 805 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 15: Well, it's still a sector which is about which is 806 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 15: worth about one point five billion to the economy, and 807 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,439 Speaker 15: if you were in that sector, it was a big deal. 808 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,760 Speaker 15: And this is a thing with small business red tape. 809 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 15: When you've got ninety seven percent of all businesses being small, 810 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,840 Speaker 15: the red tape that they face can be significant. So 811 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,879 Speaker 15: you've got to go sector bisector to get. 812 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 12: Rid of it. 813 00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 15: That's about the only way to reduce red tape. 814 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 2: Right, Catherine, appreciate your time. Let's hope, hope they keep 815 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,720 Speaker 2: up the good work, Catherine Rich who is the Business 816 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,239 Speaker 2: New Zealand Chief Executive, Mike, Nobody votes for the married 817 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,800 Speaker 2: party for policies. It's just ignorant fools who get duped 818 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 2: into voting for them. Well, that's called democracy, my friend. 819 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter how you vote, why you vote. You 820 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 2: can vote, and if you do, you do exactly. Why 821 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,359 Speaker 2: does a fringe activist party Mike with three percent get 822 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,399 Speaker 2: so much pressed? Well, simple reason, they're legitimately elected into 823 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 2: the House of Representatives and two they may well be 824 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,320 Speaker 2: part of the government. They may well be running the 825 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 2: country next year. So it's important. 826 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:37,280 Speaker 1: Seven The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio 827 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,759 Speaker 1: powered by newstalksp. 828 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 2: Now, if you're a CEO focused on profitability in a 829 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,239 Speaker 2: tough market, do you know how crucial it is to 830 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 2: win your share of tenders and RFPs? Of course, so 831 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 2: winning means dedicating that scarce and valuable key executive time 832 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 2: to that task. Now you count with them all, So 833 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,640 Speaker 2: how can you optimize the high opportunity cost of the business. 834 00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,360 Speaker 2: So one net this is where one net comes and 835 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 2: they help you in more. Then you'll usual share of 836 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,320 Speaker 2: those RFPs and they take pressure off your team and 837 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,279 Speaker 2: they make more room for creative thinking and to grow 838 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 2: your business. Good good, good, So one net sister company 839 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,360 Speaker 2: this is the Grizzly AI. They've gone and built the 840 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 2: safe and secure software for the risk of these businesses 841 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 2: to water make the attender and RFP responses with AI 842 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 2: and Grizzly AI software. What does it mean? Well, it 843 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,880 Speaker 2: means you create the winning proposals faster and at a 844 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 2: lower cost and with a much higher success rate. I mean, 845 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,320 Speaker 2: how can you knock that back? Think of the software 846 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 2: as being both an RFP painkiller and a profit builder. 847 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,320 Speaker 2: AI no longer a competitive advantage, of course, it is 848 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 2: a necessity. So if you need to grow your profit 849 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,279 Speaker 2: by winning that new business onenet, dot co dot nz 850 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 2: what you get there is a complementary consultation to assess 851 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 2: how your business can win more RFPs with GRIZZLYAI one net, 852 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,120 Speaker 2: dot co dot nz and along with Grizzly AI innovation 853 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:52,799 Speaker 2: leaders in cloud computing and AI asking. It is seven 854 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 2: twenty three now I'm trying to work out what the 855 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 2: ratio would be, how much squeaky clean beyond out rock 856 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,640 Speaker 2: solid truth with the BBC need to deliver to offset 857 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,280 Speaker 2: the one gargantuan cock up that has seen the Director 858 00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,600 Speaker 2: General and the head of News quit. Or in this 859 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,080 Speaker 2: day and age where doubt and mistrust is so high, 860 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 2: is it a futile exercise and the damage is basically permanent? 861 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,480 Speaker 2: Like all stories, you can dilute its seriousness. I mean, 862 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 2: the Panorama program wasn't actually made by the BBC. It 863 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,240 Speaker 2: was a contract company. So was the bias external not internal? 864 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,160 Speaker 2: Obviously I'm clutching its straws here. Does a resignation mean 865 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,760 Speaker 2: the organization is no longer biased or perceived as biased? 866 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 2: I would have thought not. I mean, how do you 867 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,520 Speaker 2: prove inherent bias anyway? Which is not going charge not 868 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,839 Speaker 2: just at the BBC but a number of public broadcasters 869 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,520 Speaker 2: all over the world. I mean I cited the Radio 870 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,960 Speaker 2: New Zealand example yesterday out of the boot Camp report. 871 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 2: Their headline read the conclusion was of a rushed exercise. 872 00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 2: That wasn't the conclusion. It was an observation, not a conclusion. 873 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,240 Speaker 2: But even if you argue the observation was a conclusion 874 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 2: that would mean there were many conclusions. Why I pick 875 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:52,799 Speaker 2: that one when there were positive ones to choose from 876 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:53,080 Speaker 2: as well? 877 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:53,239 Speaker 6: Now? 878 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,799 Speaker 2: Is that inherent bias or just a busy journalist looking 879 00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 2: to publish a story? Are we the punter, inherently biased 880 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,080 Speaker 2: and therefore or whatever we see we don't like well 881 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 2: must be biased. The BBC bit is, of course indisputable. 882 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 2: It's not about inference or emphasis. It's about making something 883 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,319 Speaker 2: seem real, which factually wasn't. I mean, they made it up. 884 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,720 Speaker 2: Why would you do that unless you had an agenda? 885 00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 2: Why would the BBC not spot it? Too busy or 886 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,640 Speaker 2: too biased? The Culture Secretary said, now more than ever, 887 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,040 Speaker 2: the need for trusted news is essential to our cultural 888 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,440 Speaker 2: and democratic life, which is what they say when they 889 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,480 Speaker 2: have carnage to deal with using taxpayers money. The BBC 890 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,960 Speaker 2: were already booked in this week, ironically, for a parliamentary 891 00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,080 Speaker 2: inquiry into their coverage of trans writes in Gaza, cementing 892 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 2: in many people's minds what they already suspected. My summation 893 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,719 Speaker 2: is basically, it's over the juries and the verdict is 894 00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,320 Speaker 2: guilty and the people are always right. Whatever the media 895 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,080 Speaker 2: might once have had by way of respect and trust 896 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:54,480 Speaker 2: is largely, if not completely gone, and two resignations cemented 897 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 2: any remaining doubt asking. The key question to ask Intindia 898 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,919 Speaker 2: is whie to banks and Zealand charge far higher margin 899 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 2: on floating rates in Australia it's around double the margin. 900 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 2: It's not it's a bit higher, but it's a bit 901 00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 2: less but not much more. And I'm giving you that answer. 902 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,480 Speaker 2: How many times have I given that answer on this program? 903 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:14,640 Speaker 7: Fifteen hundred. 904 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,960 Speaker 2: But I'll explain it when well, I'll look alask and 905 00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:19,919 Speaker 2: Tonia just for you and she can explain it yet again. 906 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:21,399 Speaker 2: But it's got to do with the Reserve Bank. It's 907 00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,040 Speaker 2: got to do with the money they put aside for 908 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,799 Speaker 2: a rainy day, and those rules are changing, and that's 909 00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,719 Speaker 2: why that conversation is now important. Mike christ it's got 910 00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 2: quite a few terraced houses in the city. This goes 911 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 2: back to our interview an hour ago about his building. 912 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:37,400 Speaker 2: Crappy old townhouses that heat up and kill people esthetically 913 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 2: look stylish, unlike the cheap, ugly builds in Auckland. I 914 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,440 Speaker 2: suppose it's what you get in a rebuild, isn't it. 915 00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:46,839 Speaker 2: People actually think about what's going on architecturally. Speaking morning Mike, 916 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:48,640 Speaker 2: when do we hear about the three remaining Red Bull 917 00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,359 Speaker 2: seats end of the season. They're focusing on Max at 918 00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,640 Speaker 2: the moment. Max has a chance, not a great one, 919 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,960 Speaker 2: but a chance of winning the championship for a fifth time, 920 00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,960 Speaker 2: so they want to focus on that. Watch Ted Kravitz yesterday. 921 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:01,719 Speaker 2: I like Ted good a lot of time for him. 922 00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,399 Speaker 2: He's part of the F one coverage for Skysport UK. 923 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:09,480 Speaker 2: He spoke yesterday as Liam was a foregone conclusion. Lynn 924 00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 2: bladd Lawson Bye bay Yuki. That seems from his soundings 925 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:20,000 Speaker 2: over the weekend, that seems to be pretty much how 926 00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,759 Speaker 2: it's going to unfold. All we're waiting for now is 927 00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:27,640 Speaker 2: the actual announcement, right Banking Profits margins more shortly after 928 00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 2: the news here on the Mike Hosking Breakfast, The News. 929 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 1: Talks twice, no fluff, just facts and fierce debate. The 930 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:40,319 Speaker 1: Mic Hosking Breakfast with Vida Retirement, Communities, Life Your Way 931 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:41,440 Speaker 1: News togs headbs. 932 00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,080 Speaker 2: It's away from late so it's bank profit time again. 933 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 2: Westpac last weekend's in first cab off the rank this 934 00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:48,200 Speaker 2: week and the number is a large net profit of 935 00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,920 Speaker 2: two point five three billion, which is up over twenty percent. 936 00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,200 Speaker 2: And Tony Watson is the AMST CEO and is with us. 937 00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:57,879 Speaker 2: Good morning to you, Good morning mate. In general, how 938 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,879 Speaker 2: comfortable are you talking about numbers the size. 939 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,400 Speaker 5: In general when you think about the context of our 940 00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 5: size in New Zealand, they are very big numbers. And 941 00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,840 Speaker 5: a headline growth in the cost of living crisis of 942 00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,880 Speaker 5: twenty percent is very uncomfortable. And I think it's just 943 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,080 Speaker 5: trying to get the cut through that that headline number 944 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,920 Speaker 5: is caused by a whole lot of accounting noise around 945 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:24,239 Speaker 5: our around valuing our derivatives, and the actual underlying number 946 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:24,960 Speaker 5: is four percent. 947 00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:29,239 Speaker 2: Right, the margin is up three basis points to two 948 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,200 Speaker 2: point six So how do you defend that? 949 00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:34,960 Speaker 5: So, I mean, one way of looking at it is 950 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,000 Speaker 5: that we've had to put in one point two billion 951 00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,360 Speaker 5: dollars of extra capital this year as we are meeting 952 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,279 Speaker 5: the new capital requirements. That comes at a cost to 953 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,680 Speaker 5: us all other things being equal of ten percent, sorry, 954 00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,920 Speaker 5: ten basis points. So a three basis point increase in 955 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,520 Speaker 5: margin to me means that our shareholders are wearing part 956 00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,719 Speaker 5: of the pain of the additional capital as well. And 957 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,439 Speaker 5: I think that's, you know, on balance, is probably fair. 958 00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,600 Speaker 2: They RB rewrited these rules they get help you out 959 00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:01,959 Speaker 2: materially on there for us. 960 00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:06,239 Speaker 5: Or not not not materially. They RB have put out 961 00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:09,439 Speaker 5: two proposals. The first one has a little bit more 962 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,680 Speaker 5: of the most expensive form of form of capital, which 963 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,040 Speaker 5: is common actually tier one in it, and the second 964 00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:21,440 Speaker 5: one has more overall capital, so the actual So the 965 00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,000 Speaker 5: capital changes put upward pressure on pricing. If you want 966 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,360 Speaker 5: to maintain your returns the same, there isn't much difference 967 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,800 Speaker 5: in that upward pressure given those two options. 968 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,480 Speaker 2: So this is our b wheelhouse. But Nicola Willis wanted 969 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:36,320 Speaker 2: to rewrite and she wanted something a bit betters. She 970 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:37,600 Speaker 2: lost that battle. 971 00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:41,680 Speaker 5: Then look, it's still under consultation and so we've put 972 00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,240 Speaker 5: up a third proposal, which we think is really balanced, 973 00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:48,520 Speaker 5: and it's under consultation and where we're anxiously awaiting the results. 974 00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:49,600 Speaker 2: So what's your proposal. 975 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:55,200 Speaker 5: Our proposal is to align with the Australian proposal. They 976 00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,719 Speaker 5: are also they're also changing their capital models. Australia and 977 00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:01,520 Speaker 5: New Zealand have two of the most highest capital ratios 978 00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:03,840 Speaker 5: in the world even currently when you align them on 979 00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 5: an international basis. But we think that there's some efficiencies 980 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,280 Speaker 5: not just with banking but in general if we align 981 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,120 Speaker 5: as much to Australia as possible, and if we did that, 982 00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,279 Speaker 5: we would there would be less there'll be less upward 983 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:19,600 Speaker 5: pressure and prices, but also we would still be maintaining 984 00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:23,319 Speaker 5: a more conservative capital stance because there is some more 985 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,640 Speaker 5: conservatism in our underlying calculations the way we do it 986 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,479 Speaker 5: in New Zealand. So we feel like it's a balanced option. 987 00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:32,160 Speaker 2: So we'll see what's your read on whether you're going 988 00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:33,080 Speaker 2: to get any cut through on that. 989 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:35,160 Speaker 5: I don't know. 990 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:35,840 Speaker 2: I don't know. 991 00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,560 Speaker 5: I mean, the Reserve Bank have actually been very very open. 992 00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,800 Speaker 5: They've been listening through the consultation. They've been very clear 993 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:45,319 Speaker 5: that they want everyone's views. So we'll see where that goes. 994 00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,120 Speaker 2: How much of this conservatism around the amount of money 995 00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:49,520 Speaker 2: you've got to put a side is based on the 996 00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,239 Speaker 2: fact we're small and therefore allegedly fragile. Is that part 997 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:52,680 Speaker 2: of it or not? 998 00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,920 Speaker 5: Look, Mike, I completely agree that we are smaller, we're distant, 999 00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,640 Speaker 5: we don't have some of the advantages that say Australia 1000 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,600 Speaker 5: has with the mining. We don't have a huge market 1001 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,440 Speaker 5: on our doorstep. We have weather events. So I can 1002 00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,560 Speaker 5: completely understand that we should hold more capital in our 1003 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,759 Speaker 5: banking system than maybe some other countries. But the question 1004 00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,080 Speaker 5: is how much more? And we are already right now 1005 00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,600 Speaker 5: without any more capital going in. Oliver woman did some 1006 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,040 Speaker 5: work for it ARB and Z and we're already the 1007 00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:23,200 Speaker 5: second highest in the world without the extra capital that's 1008 00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:24,919 Speaker 5: still going to go in over the next few years. 1009 00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:28,960 Speaker 2: But you still maintain that if that number was significantly lower, 1010 00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:32,400 Speaker 2: your margin would be lower, and therefore they are directly. 1011 00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,720 Speaker 13: Linked, not lower. 1012 00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,920 Speaker 5: So the thing to really remember is that this is 1013 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,000 Speaker 5: capital that we'll go in in the future. So the 1014 00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,400 Speaker 5: offset is less output pressure on price itself. We have 1015 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,120 Speaker 5: to put less capital in in the future, there's less 1016 00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,840 Speaker 5: output pressure on prices in order to maintain, you know, 1017 00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:51,080 Speaker 5: the modestly above cost of capital returns that we have 1018 00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,160 Speaker 5: at the moment, which is what we need to deliver 1019 00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,439 Speaker 5: to our shareholders for them to invest twenty billion dollars 1020 00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:56,080 Speaker 5: in New Zealand. 1021 00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, but two point six is higher than Australia. This 1022 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,120 Speaker 2: is the great quandary that people keep asking me to 1023 00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:04,600 Speaker 2: ask you about. And the argument has always been, oh, 1024 00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:06,279 Speaker 2: but here we have to put so much more money 1025 00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,759 Speaker 2: aside because there RB tells us. Is that no longer 1026 00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:09,360 Speaker 2: your argument? 1027 00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:09,799 Speaker 6: Yep? 1028 00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:10,360 Speaker 12: No no. 1029 00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:12,839 Speaker 5: So if you think about our overall margin at two 1030 00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,040 Speaker 5: point six aps for our sort of retail and commercial 1031 00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:18,840 Speaker 5: businesses that compares to our Australian retail and commercial business 1032 00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:21,840 Speaker 5: has added together a two point threty nine, so a 1033 00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:26,040 Speaker 5: twenty one basis point difference that is more than accounted for. 1034 00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,160 Speaker 5: If you look at the Oliver Wyman difference in capital 1035 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,040 Speaker 5: between Australia and New Zealand, that difference is probably a 1036 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:33,239 Speaker 5: cost of say thirty basis points, So that's more than 1037 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,359 Speaker 5: accounted for by the extra capital we have here. 1038 00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,680 Speaker 2: Okay, do you still what does it feel like running 1039 00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:42,320 Speaker 2: a successful business which you in disputably are, and have 1040 00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:44,320 Speaker 2: a finance minister constantly at you. 1041 00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,680 Speaker 5: Look, she does her job and I do mine, and 1042 00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:52,000 Speaker 5: we try and run a really strong, safe, trusted bank 1043 00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:54,439 Speaker 5: for New Zealanders. The government's role is to make sure 1044 00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,440 Speaker 5: that New Zealanders get the best deal they possibly can 1045 00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:58,319 Speaker 5: out of all the industries in New Zealand. 1046 00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,680 Speaker 2: Do you think we are all have a genuinely open 1047 00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,680 Speaker 2: and competitive banking market for the average punter to get 1048 00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:05,360 Speaker 2: a good deal with. 1049 00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,440 Speaker 5: Yes, I do. I mean yes, one hundred percent. Our 1050 00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:12,320 Speaker 5: staff are out there every day competing to win business 1051 00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:14,600 Speaker 5: and competing hard. We are looking at what our competition 1052 00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:15,920 Speaker 5: are doing constantly. 1053 00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:20,319 Speaker 2: SBSA they hoovered up six thousand customers in the last year. 1054 00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,600 Speaker 2: Is that proof that there is competition and therefore people 1055 00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:25,759 Speaker 2: can move and will move if the deals are good. 1056 00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,600 Speaker 5: Absolutely. We've seen an average in some months it's been 1057 00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:32,680 Speaker 5: more an average of twenty five percent of homelan customers 1058 00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:37,680 Speaker 5: switching within the industry over the last year. So twenty 1059 00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:39,880 Speaker 5: five percent of people switching every time their homeland's up 1060 00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:40,480 Speaker 5: for prefixing. 1061 00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:42,759 Speaker 2: I think that's huge, right Ed McKnight. Do you know 1062 00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,920 Speaker 2: the Opes Partners thing that he's done on banks and 1063 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:49,200 Speaker 2: their interest rates? No, I don't, all right, it doesn't 1064 00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,759 Speaker 2: matter that the upshot is he looked at over a 1065 00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,120 Speaker 2: period of time as to who was first out of 1066 00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,800 Speaker 2: the blocks in terms of offering the best rate. B 1067 00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,239 Speaker 2: and Z seems the best along with wes PAW. You 1068 00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:03,080 Speaker 2: get there eventually on the longer term money. The point 1069 00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:05,799 Speaker 2: being is once you shake it all down, you guys 1070 00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:07,520 Speaker 2: are all the same at the end of the day. 1071 00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,160 Speaker 2: And this backs up Nicola Willis's argument. At the end 1072 00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,480 Speaker 2: of the day, it's all the same. There is no 1073 00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:13,400 Speaker 2: real competition. 1074 00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 5: It's interesting because as someone puts rates down, others will follow. 1075 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,560 Speaker 5: That's very competitive market. But the suggestion there is once 1076 00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:22,880 Speaker 5: everyone matches us, we should continue putting them down. And 1077 00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:24,799 Speaker 5: then everyone matches and continue putting them down, and then 1078 00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,120 Speaker 5: there comes a point that it's unsustainable and we don't 1079 00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,120 Speaker 5: therefore have the returns that mean that we're comfortable to 1080 00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,759 Speaker 5: keep lending too Kiwi. So the sort of a the 1081 00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,120 Speaker 5: sort of a you know, do we want a vicious 1082 00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:34,759 Speaker 5: cycle to the bottom or that will mean we have 1083 00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,120 Speaker 5: less strong and stable than sustainable banks. 1084 00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:37,719 Speaker 4: Yeah? 1085 00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:39,040 Speaker 20: But so am I? 1086 00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,000 Speaker 2: Am I a simpleton? So just back to that business. 1087 00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:45,160 Speaker 2: All I've seen through the GFC and through COVID is 1088 00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:48,680 Speaker 2: you guys, generally the big four here are fantastically successful 1089 00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:50,600 Speaker 2: and profitable, and well done to you for that. Why 1090 00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:52,239 Speaker 2: do you need to put any money aside? You know 1091 00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:52,839 Speaker 2: what you're doing. 1092 00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:55,719 Speaker 15: You know that we have had. 1093 00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,640 Speaker 5: The GFC wasn't an existential crisis in New Zealand. It 1094 00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:00,400 Speaker 5: certainly was at other parts of the world. I mean, 1095 00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,160 Speaker 5: that's why I'd say that we you know, we are 1096 00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,719 Speaker 5: well capitalized. We've done a lot since the GFC, but 1097 00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,680 Speaker 5: don't forget that in COVID we our profit dropped thirty percent. 1098 00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:09,560 Speaker 5: In the GFC, we had one year we made one 1099 00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,200 Speaker 5: hundred and ninety million dollars and that's a lot less 1100 00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:15,040 Speaker 5: than right now. So you know, when those real crises, 1101 00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:18,320 Speaker 5: you see bank profits drop a lot, and so we 1102 00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:20,480 Speaker 5: need to be ready and have a good capital base 1103 00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,120 Speaker 5: to protect us from those real crises. 1104 00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:23,920 Speaker 2: How many people you got working in your bank at 1105 00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,040 Speaker 2: the moment who come to you in your office periodically 1106 00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,400 Speaker 2: and go, this AI tech thing's going to blow and 1107 00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:30,640 Speaker 2: that might have some sort of bottom line effect for us. 1108 00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:35,359 Speaker 5: We talk about ALI a lot. It's got a lot 1109 00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:37,560 Speaker 5: of uses. We also want to be very cautious that 1110 00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:41,800 Speaker 5: we don't let something loose that hallucinates for our customers. 1111 00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:45,400 Speaker 5: So you know, it's exciting, but I guess it's exciting, 1112 00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:47,200 Speaker 5: but with absolute caution around it. 1113 00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,640 Speaker 2: Explain to me the insolvency numbers we covered yesterday and 1114 00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:52,640 Speaker 2: I can't remember who did it, but insolvencies are up 1115 00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:56,439 Speaker 2: forty percent. The money you've put aside for bad debt 1116 00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:58,080 Speaker 2: is down. How can the two be. 1117 00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:02,279 Speaker 5: True because we will have provided so any of our 1118 00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,759 Speaker 5: customers that are in that in that group of customers 1119 00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:09,160 Speaker 5: that are looking like the approaching insolvency, we would have 1120 00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,440 Speaker 5: probably provided for them in the past, not this year, 1121 00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,839 Speaker 5: because we'll be looking at looking at our results, looking 1122 00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:16,560 Speaker 5: at what the economy is looking like. We sort of 1123 00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:19,000 Speaker 5: take a forward view of the economy and we tend 1124 00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:22,680 Speaker 5: to provide what we call collective provision upfront, which is 1125 00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:24,760 Speaker 5: just what's the risk in our book of things happening, 1126 00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:26,560 Speaker 5: So we would have already provided for that. 1127 00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,640 Speaker 2: How bullish for twenty six are you? For New Zealand inc? 1128 00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:35,920 Speaker 5: Oh, I'm cautiously optimistic. There are some green shoots out there. 1129 00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,000 Speaker 5: It's still tough, there's no question about that. It's particularly 1130 00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,880 Speaker 5: tough in places like Auckland and Wellington, say, compared to 1131 00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:43,880 Speaker 5: the South Island does in christ Church recently, and that 1132 00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:47,360 Speaker 5: was pretty pretty exciting place at the moment. Actually, I 1133 00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:50,919 Speaker 5: think you're seeing some of the rural economy impact coming 1134 00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:52,879 Speaker 5: through flowing through to the cities. But there's some real 1135 00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:56,080 Speaker 5: there are some actual, real positives. If you think about 1136 00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:59,359 Speaker 5: the pain of the last few years, it's also sort 1137 00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:01,560 Speaker 5: of cleared decks for the next up swing. So we've 1138 00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:06,040 Speaker 5: got real house prices. They've unwheulmded the COVID bubble. We've 1139 00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:09,200 Speaker 5: got household and firm debt lower than it was pre 1140 00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:12,320 Speaker 5: COVID as a share of GDP. We've got inflation hopefully 1141 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:17,040 Speaker 5: hopefully touchwood under control. We've got imports reducing, exports growing. 1142 00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:19,279 Speaker 5: So there's a lot of our card data showing that 1143 00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,640 Speaker 5: a lot of the categories are now spending is up 1144 00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:23,520 Speaker 5: to So that's people just getting a little bit more 1145 00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,480 Speaker 5: confidence to spend now rather than to sort of re 1146 00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:28,600 Speaker 5: establish their buffers, which is I think what they've been 1147 00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:31,480 Speaker 5: doing as interest rates been coming down to date. So 1148 00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:33,360 Speaker 5: I think, you know, cautiously optimistic. 1149 00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:35,959 Speaker 2: Good to talk to. You appreciate it as always. Antonio Watson, 1150 00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,319 Speaker 2: who's the boss of the a m ZI thirteen. 1151 00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:43,240 Speaker 1: Two, The Mic Asking Breakers full show podcast on iHeartRadio 1152 00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:44,880 Speaker 1: now ad By News talks. 1153 00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:48,760 Speaker 2: At b and by way of comparison, I and ZID Australia. 1154 00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:51,359 Speaker 2: Their profit dip fourteen percent, but they've had a bunch 1155 00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:53,680 Speaker 2: of issues that they want boy with in the last 1156 00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:55,600 Speaker 2: year that they claim there's a new bloke. They're laying 1157 00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:57,520 Speaker 2: off some people and he claims he's got it all 1158 00:54:57,600 --> 00:54:59,920 Speaker 2: under control. Morning, Mike. Can the two expelled from the 1159 00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:03,040 Speaker 2: Maori Party standards independence, Well, of course they can. They 1160 00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,520 Speaker 2: are independence says of now. They are no longer INPs 1161 00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,040 Speaker 2: for the Maory Party. They are independent MPs in the House. 1162 00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:09,359 Speaker 2: And what I want to know is where's the Waker 1163 00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:11,160 Speaker 2: jumping law. What's the point of having a Waker jumping 1164 00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,640 Speaker 2: law if you're not going to enact it? For goodness sake. 1165 00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:15,919 Speaker 2: What I'd forgotten about until I looked it up again 1166 00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,239 Speaker 2: yesterday because I knew this would be an issue, is 1167 00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:21,000 Speaker 2: two Waker jumping laws. You remember that first one came 1168 00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:22,759 Speaker 2: and went in the early part of the century, and 1169 00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:24,239 Speaker 2: then the second one, which was part of the New 1170 00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:28,120 Speaker 2: Zealand first Labor government. The original one had a sunset clause, 1171 00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:31,840 Speaker 2: so they brought it back in. So the problem is 1172 00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:35,480 Speaker 2: that the Caucus will need to enact it, not the Council, 1173 00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,960 Speaker 2: because the Council aren't in the Parliament, of course, So 1174 00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:41,600 Speaker 2: the Council vote to expel them, but the Caucus then 1175 00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,359 Speaker 2: need to use the Waker jumping law because it becomes 1176 00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,239 Speaker 2: a parliamentary thing. And then you've got because you only 1177 00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,960 Speaker 2: got six two of them being the leaders, so they 1178 00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:50,919 Speaker 2: might want to get rid of them. But what about 1179 00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:53,359 Speaker 2: the other two because the two concerned of the two expellees, 1180 00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,200 Speaker 2: so that's four. So where are the other two? Said? 1181 00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,000 Speaker 2: What are the other two? And that those two split, 1182 00:55:58,120 --> 00:55:58,759 Speaker 2: that's three each. 1183 00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,800 Speaker 14: I'm just trying to find Migraine exactly. 1184 00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:03,040 Speaker 2: Which means you're never going to say that's that's a 1185 00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:06,520 Speaker 2: job for Jerry.

Talk us through it. 1255 00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:34,560 Speaker 13: So pretty much filmed in New Zealand, which was really exciting, 1256 00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:37,640 Speaker 13: I guess just being from here, got to share case 1257 00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:40,240 Speaker 13: a lot of New Zealand locations and just show off 1258 00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:43,400 Speaker 13: the beautiful country. But yeah, getting the part was quite 1259 00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:49,040 Speaker 13: a funny process, just auditioning as pro and yeah, my 1260 00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:52,280 Speaker 13: character is obviously an alien, SOHO doesn't really speak English, 1261 00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:55,640 Speaker 13: so I had to do a taken just like a 1262 00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:58,760 Speaker 13: made up language, which was funny. I did you know 1263 00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:01,200 Speaker 13: that was going to be asked you No, So we 1264 01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:05,040 Speaker 13: didn't even know what the production was during the auditioning stage. 1265 01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:07,920 Speaker 13: They just said that this will be a creature from 1266 01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:11,040 Speaker 13: another planet, so you just take it and put your 1267 01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:13,400 Speaker 13: own little spin on it. And it was funny because 1268 01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:15,720 Speaker 13: I just like kind of integrated like salmon and tonguing 1269 01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:19,240 Speaker 13: like into my language when I did it, and obviously 1270 01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:22,120 Speaker 13: worked got me the job, which was quite fun. And 1271 01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:24,400 Speaker 13: then had to do like a little obstacle course show 1272 01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:28,160 Speaker 13: how I move. And then yeah, we were. 1273 01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:30,840 Speaker 2: Because because the interesting thing in the movie. A couple 1274 01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:35,240 Speaker 2: of observations in the movie. First of all, you look enormous, yes, 1275 01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:37,080 Speaker 2: in the movie. In fact, you're supposed to be in 1276 01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:38,280 Speaker 2: excess of seven foot. 1277 01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:42,280 Speaker 13: Yeah all uh, something like that. So my character is 1278 01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:46,400 Speaker 13: actually the runt of like the little so he's an 1279 01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:50,160 Speaker 13: undersized predator, so he's not as large as the other ones, 1280 01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:53,800 Speaker 13: which is why he's kind of outcast from the culture 1281 01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:57,160 Speaker 13: and from his clan. Right, So yeah, it's pretty funny. 1282 01:00:57,200 --> 01:00:58,880 Speaker 13: Everyone will see me and they're like, wait, you're playing 1283 01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:01,040 Speaker 13: the Predator, bro, You're not even You're not even that big. 1284 01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:04,440 Speaker 2: Did you know about the Predators franchise, the series of 1285 01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:05,800 Speaker 2: movies before you auditioned? 1286 01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:09,400 Speaker 13: Or yeah, so my dad's a massive fan of the 1287 01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:11,360 Speaker 13: first one.

So they pretty much made a language 1314 01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:16,520 Speaker 13: like it's a it's a literal language now and I 1315 01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:19,040 Speaker 13: had to learn those lines. And I was like, I 1316 01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,280 Speaker 13: have to learn a whole made up language, like I 1317 01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:23,680 Speaker 13: struggle speaking someone's song and you know, I have to 1318 01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:26,360 Speaker 13: learn this. It was fun, it was cool, Like. 1319 01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:28,120 Speaker 2: How long did it take you? And can you still 1320 01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:28,320 Speaker 2: do it? 1321 01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:29,120 Speaker 5: Yeah? 1322 01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:31,840 Speaker 13: I can still do it's it was so we had 1323 01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:35,200 Speaker 13: like a month of proper pre production prep. So they 1324 01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:37,320 Speaker 13: gave me pretty much it just like a month and 1325 01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:39,960 Speaker 13: a little bit to just get the language down, get 1326 01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,240 Speaker 13: the sounds right. There's a lot of different like clicking 1327 01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:45,760 Speaker 13: noises and yeah, there's no like lips, like because you 1328 01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:47,720 Speaker 13: don't have lips to a lot of the letters, like 1329 01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:50,280 Speaker 13: you can't do like p's or m's, Like it's all 1330 01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:52,200 Speaker 13: very like, yeah, it was explained. 1331 01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,400 Speaker 2: People who haven't seen it. I mean your character. I mean, 1332 01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:57,160 Speaker 2: in really simple terms, you look like you got a 1333 01:02:57,200 --> 01:02:59,240 Speaker 2: sack on your head sort of, don't you. 1334 01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:00,320 Speaker 13: That's that's pretty much. 1335 01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:02,840 Speaker 2: So what did they hire you? What did they see 1336 01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:03,840 Speaker 2: in you to hire you? 1337 01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:08,840 Speaker 13: I think movement was one, and then because a lot 1338 01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,000 Speaker 13: of it was facial capture, so they pretty much just 1339 01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:14,440 Speaker 13: took my feace and put the predators on top of 1340 01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:17,680 Speaker 13: it and used my emotions and my facial expressions right 1341 01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:21,640 Speaker 13: to Yeah, pretty much, you've done that. No, this is 1342 01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:23,880 Speaker 13: my first time doing any kind of super performing or. 1343 01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:25,240 Speaker 2: Was it freaky? 1344 01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:26,800 Speaker 14: It was hot? 1345 01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:30,640 Speaker 13: It was it was I was switting a lot. Yeah, 1346 01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:32,720 Speaker 13: it was really just there was like a lot going on. 1347 01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:35,000 Speaker 13: But I think it really helped my acting because there 1348 01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:36,960 Speaker 13: was just a lot that kind of takes you out 1349 01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:38,880 Speaker 13: of the scene, but you have to force yourself to 1350 01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:39,440 Speaker 13: just stee in. 1351 01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:42,000 Speaker 2: It because because it's clear. But also to and from 1352 01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:44,200 Speaker 2: what I've seen the movies, it's it's how much of 1353 01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:46,800 Speaker 2: it's I don't know what the phrases c gi'ed or 1354 01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:49,320 Speaker 2: imposed later on. In other words, are you just standing 1355 01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:51,080 Speaker 2: in front of the green screen? Trying to make this 1356 01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:55,080 Speaker 2: look real or was some of it real anyway? In location? 1357 01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,120 Speaker 13: Yeah, most of it was shown on location, so yeah, 1358 01:03:58,120 --> 01:03:59,760 Speaker 13: I think that's why. Yeah, filming in New zeal was 1359 01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:02,560 Speaker 13: a bonus because we probably pretty much have the best 1360 01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:05,200 Speaker 13: locations in the world. And yeah, I was in a 1361 01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:09,320 Speaker 13: prosthetic suit, so everything around my body was like everything 1362 01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:11,880 Speaker 13: you see I was wearing except for the feast. So 1363 01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:13,600 Speaker 13: the feast was just cut up so that they could 1364 01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:15,600 Speaker 13: capture the expressions. 1365 01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:17,160 Speaker 2: How much did it take you to get rid of 1366 01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:19,480 Speaker 2: every day putting that on and off and getting sort And. 1367 01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:23,240 Speaker 13: I was lucky because it was only like an hour, Like, yeah, 1368 01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:25,520 Speaker 13: it just comes down of course, no makup, Yeah, no makeup. 1369 01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:28,720 Speaker 13: But yeah, once it's on, it's on and you can't 1370 01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:29,160 Speaker 13: really move. 1371 01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:30,920 Speaker 2: I'm not surprised.

Yep, yep? 1383 01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:05,560 Speaker 2: How do they do that? And how do you act 1384 01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:05,840 Speaker 2: in that? 1385 01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:09,840 Speaker 13: So l pretty much had to just wear like blue 1386 01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:14,720 Speaker 13: pants and then her top half was all set for 1387 01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:18,960 Speaker 13: screen and then her legs are just blue and they're 1388 01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:22,320 Speaker 13: like held up by like ropes. And it's a lot 1389 01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:23,000 Speaker 13: of imagination. 1390 01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:26,280 Speaker 2: But this this is the acting thing, yeah, isn't it. 1391 01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:29,680 Speaker 13: It was a lot yeah, just happening, especially with the 1392 01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:32,800 Speaker 13: rigging because since she can't walk, I have to carry 1393 01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:33,400 Speaker 13: you on my back. 1394 01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:35,440 Speaker 2: Did you literally have to do that? 1395 01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:36,040 Speaker 7: Yeah? 1396 01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:38,960 Speaker 13: So we were like strapped together a lot back to back, 1397 01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:40,040 Speaker 13: which was quite funny. 1398 01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:43,040 Speaker 2: Well see, that's the funny thing about the movie. There 1399 01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:44,480 Speaker 2: was humor in the movie, And I mean it was 1400 01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:47,320 Speaker 2: a humorous, but it's a sci fi and all that stuff, 1401 01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:49,400 Speaker 2: and it's got good humor to it. Yeah. 1402 01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:52,680 Speaker 13: I think just the situation itself was humorous, Like we 1403 01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:55,280 Speaker 13: weren't trying to play too much comedy. I think the 1404 01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:58,760 Speaker 13: comedy just came through and like what was happening is 1405 01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:02,640 Speaker 13: like so ridiculous. It just makes it funny, which is 1406 01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:05,440 Speaker 13: really cool. Like a lot of the reactions like to 1407 01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:08,800 Speaker 13: the film, so like, yeah, the comedic beats are quite funny. 1408 01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:11,080 Speaker 2: Because I just I didn't realize she was strapped you back. 1409 01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:12,760 Speaker 2: I mean I saw her strapped you back, but I 1410 01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:17,480 Speaker 2: assume that that wasn't Yeah. Also, so she's physically strapped 1411 01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:19,760 Speaker 2: to you. Yeah, this seems like a low tech movie 1412 01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:23,680 Speaker 2: because something I was like a high tech movies. Actually, 1413 01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:26,360 Speaker 2: you're strapping your actors to your back for God's sake. 1414 01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:28,760 Speaker 13: Yeah, I know, my shoulders are quite sore after, but 1415 01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:30,120 Speaker 13: it's good training. 1416 01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:30,439 Speaker 4: I guess. 1417 01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:33,600 Speaker 2: Do they have rules and regulations around that? And you 1418 01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:37,360 Speaker 2: know injury prevention and insurance cover and you know I 1419 01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:39,520 Speaker 2: would what if you dropped it? 1420 01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:43,680 Speaker 13: Oh man, probably have to get recast or something. But 1421 01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:46,040 Speaker 13: you know I was quite safe and the stunt team 1422 01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:49,360 Speaker 13: and shut like that. Yeah, those things wouldn't really happen 1423 01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:50,120 Speaker 13: with the risk. 1424 01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:53,120 Speaker 2: Cause is this your sort of movie? I mean, as 1425 01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:54,840 Speaker 2: an actor, of course it is. You do what you know, 1426 01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:57,960 Speaker 2: but you you would watch this sort of movie. 1427 01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:02,600 Speaker 13: Yeah, to be honest, I think just like the whole 1428 01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:06,080 Speaker 13: premise of it. You know, it's an underdog story. It's 1429 01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:08,280 Speaker 13: like the first of its kind in the franchise, you 1430 01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:11,640 Speaker 13: know where it's the first film that follows the predatize 1431 01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:12,440 Speaker 13: the protagonist. 1432 01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:12,760 Speaker 2: Yes. 1433 01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:15,680 Speaker 13: Yeah, like all of these elements are quite interesting to 1434 01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:16,440 Speaker 13: me just in general. 1435 01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:19,000 Speaker 2: So and and Elle, you mentioned el El Fanning and 1436 01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:22,200 Speaker 2: she's a name, so she did you know of her?

I 1441 01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:31,080 Speaker 13: was like, yeah, she has such a massive presence. Like 1442 01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:33,400 Speaker 13: I was kind of not intimidated, but I was just like, 1443 01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:34,920 Speaker 13: oh man, if she's going to be a diva, this 1444 01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:36,000 Speaker 13: is going to be a long shoot. 1445 01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:38,160 Speaker 2: And she wasn't.

This 1500 01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:03,640 Speaker 2: is in the States. Pre release had it opening at 1501 01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:07,400 Speaker 2: twenty five, so they thought twenty five got forty overseas 1502 01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:10,960 Speaker 2: eighty million, biggest global opening of the franchise to passing 1503 01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:13,200 Speaker 2: the twenty eighteen Predator at forty eight point nine.

Fast forward to Sidney Sweeney, who's got 1506 01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:25,720 Speaker 2: the movie Christy. We played the tray, We did the 1507 01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:27,519 Speaker 2: trailer for that in one of those trendings, didn't we 1508 01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:31,000 Speaker 2: We did Christy Year. That's probably what put you off 1509 01:10:31,400 --> 01:10:38,400 Speaker 2: to be frank one point three million overall of America 1510 01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:42,400 Speaker 2: one point three million. The story Christy is Christy Martin. 1511 01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:45,240 Speaker 2: She was a Hall of Fame boxer.

Three of those four were released just right 1516 01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:01,960 Speaker 2: after COVID. People that want to go back to them. 1517 01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:05,439 Speaker 2: So now that they do, they've thought, Oh, Sydney, is. 1518 01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:06,120 Speaker 14: She a good actor? 1519 01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:10,040 Speaker 2: I don't know. She's got good genes though, and in 1520 01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:12,200 Speaker 2: that I think is probably part of the problem. Very 1521 01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:14,519 Speaker 2: good piece I can tell you about Christopher Stevens. Look 1522 01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:16,320 Speaker 2: it up if you want to. It's about Tim Davey. 1523 01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:18,320 Speaker 2: Who's he. He's the guy who used to run the BBC. 1524 01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:20,599 Speaker 2: As of yesterday, any one of the scandals that has 1525 01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:22,960 Speaker 2: rocked the BBC in the past five years could have 1526 01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:25,679 Speaker 2: been enough to force Director General Tim Davey to resign. 1527 01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:28,679 Speaker 2: The most awful aspect of the Trump travesty, he writes, 1528 01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:31,559 Speaker 2: was how predictable it seemed. Since Tim Davey took over 1529 01:11:31,600 --> 01:11:34,400 Speaker 2: as Director General in September of twenty twenty, the BBC 1530 01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:36,920 Speaker 2: has been tarred by scandals that damaged the reputation of 1531 01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:41,320 Speaker 2: almost all its department sports, news, music, radio, primetime entertainment. 1532 01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:44,280 Speaker 2: In the past couple of years. The scandals have come 1533 01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:47,360 Speaker 2: so quickly that each one displaced the last. In order 1534 01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:49,639 Speaker 2: to weather the storm, the DG had only to hang 1535 01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:52,320 Speaker 2: on until the next one blew up. He was repeatedly 1536 01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:55,720 Speaker 2: rescued by his own inability to get a grip. His 1537 01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:58,400 Speaker 2: entire career can be seen as an example of what 1538 01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:02,599 Speaker 2: management types call failing upwards, a form of promotion built 1539 01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:06,519 Speaker 2: on blithe confidence in his own inadequacies. Brilliantly put, so 1540 01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:09,519 Speaker 2: he's gone. He used to work for Pepsi. It's worth 1541 01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:11,720 Speaker 2: reading the article because when he was with Pepsi, he 1542 01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:14,400 Speaker 2: was in the promotion. What I couldn't work out is 1543 01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:16,719 Speaker 2: he worked from Pepsi and then he went somewhere weird 1544 01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:18,759 Speaker 2: and then the next thing he's the DG of the BBC, 1545 01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:21,200 Speaker 2: and it couldn't work out. That's a leap. Anyway, he 1546 01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:25,439 Speaker 2: relaunched or helped relaunch Pepsi into Pepsi Blue, and they 1547 01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:28,360 Speaker 2: painted a plain blue and it cost hundreds of millions 1548 01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:30,519 Speaker 2: of dollars and it was broadly seen as a flop. 1549 01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:33,000 Speaker 2: So if I was on the board of the BBC, 1550 01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:35,320 Speaker 2: going is that the guy painted the plain blue, Well, 1551 01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:37,320 Speaker 2: we're not going to have him, or maybe they could 1552 01:12:37,320 --> 01:12:39,759 Speaker 2: find nobody else. Somebody else I was listening to yesterday 1553 01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:43,000 Speaker 2: was saying, basically, the DG's job at the BBC now 1554 01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:45,920 Speaker 2: is literally an impossible job because you've got all the 1555 01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:49,519 Speaker 2: henchmen in the newsroom who pretend they're not biased, and 1556 01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:52,040 Speaker 2: you've got all the politics of a government that don't 1557 01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:54,160 Speaker 2: necessarily like you, and you've got all the hatred of 1558 01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:57,400 Speaker 2: the British public, who of course funds you. And it's 1559 01:12:57,439 --> 01:13:00,760 Speaker 2: a just a hopeless position. You can't possibly be in 1560 01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:03,680 Speaker 2: a winning position. Speaking of media, by the way, ITV 1561 01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:08,840 Speaker 2: are in talks to sell their television business to Sky TV, 1562 01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:11,639 Speaker 2: not Sky here, but Sky Britain. So we'll talk about 1563 01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:13,519 Speaker 2: that more with Roden. Just a couple of moments after 1564 01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:14,799 Speaker 2: the News, which is heads. 1565 01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:20,719 Speaker 1: To reviews, Talk ZB Opinion, Edit, Informed, Undapologetic, the Mic asking, 1566 01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:24,639 Speaker 1: Breakfast with Bailey's real Estate, doing real estate differently since 1567 01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:26,960 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three, News Talks Dead b. 1568 01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:30,000 Speaker 2: Mike Antonia Watson interviews Well, no ducking and diving, and 1569 01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:31,920 Speaker 2: she just answers the questions and speaks, Well, it was 1570 01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:33,400 Speaker 2: this time last hour, we're talking to the head of 1571 01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:35,599 Speaker 2: the A and Z. Mike. Open banking makes it easier 1572 01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:38,280 Speaker 2: to move, but you'll need to get them, drag them 1573 01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:40,600 Speaker 2: kicking and screaming before we get there. Well, that was 1574 01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:42,439 Speaker 2: all part of the banking review, of course, and we're 1575 01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:44,080 Speaker 2: going to have some open banking in this country. But 1576 01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:46,439 Speaker 2: the as I read, and I've read several reports on 1577 01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:49,640 Speaker 2: open banking which is available in Australia, it's not the 1578 01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:51,439 Speaker 2: game chap. If you think it's a game changer, it's 1579 01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:54,640 Speaker 2: not the game changer. Is it easier technically, yes, But 1580 01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:57,839 Speaker 2: then I think we've elevated in our mind the ability 1581 01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:01,439 Speaker 2: to move banks. Banks are so possible when it's not, 1582 01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:04,080 Speaker 2: you can if you want to, I mean, isbs as 1583 01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:06,439 Speaker 2: I keep repeating these numbers of hoove it up, apparently 1584 01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:08,920 Speaker 2: six thousand new customers as here. Where do you think 1585 01:14:08,920 --> 01:14:10,680 Speaker 2: they came from? They came from another bank, So it 1586 01:14:10,800 --> 01:14:13,200 Speaker 2: is doable. So if you think open banking is a 1587 01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:16,440 Speaker 2: magic bullet, you're probably going to be disappointed. 1588 01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:20,320 Speaker 19: Twenty three to nine International correspondence with ins and Eye 1589 01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:23,160 Speaker 19: Insurance Peace of Mind for New Zealand Business in Britain 1590 01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:24,000 Speaker 19: on a little morning to. 1591 01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:26,080 Speaker 20: You mate, good morning. 1592 01:14:26,439 --> 01:14:28,840 Speaker 2: I don't know. I can only imagine. I mean, it's 1593 01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:30,840 Speaker 2: a big story here, for goodness sake, I can only 1594 01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:32,720 Speaker 2: imagine how big it is in your part of the world. 1595 01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:36,400 Speaker 2: As far as clusters go, and previous clusters involving the BBC, 1596 01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:37,479 Speaker 2: where does this one sit? 1597 01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:43,840 Speaker 20: I think rather high because it's about editorial standards and 1598 01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:48,840 Speaker 20: that's what the BBC has always banked its reputational You know, 1599 01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:52,560 Speaker 20: I mentioned this story to you last week when it 1600 01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:56,800 Speaker 20: was making no headway whatsoever, which is no headway at all, 1601 01:14:57,280 --> 01:15:01,320 Speaker 20: and yet suddenly it has, partly I think as a 1602 01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:04,800 Speaker 20: consequence of Donald Trump's intervention, who picked up on some 1603 01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:06,840 Speaker 20: of the stuff that we were all writing over here. 1604 01:15:07,439 --> 01:15:09,600 Speaker 20: Needless to say, the BBC is in a state of 1605 01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:13,280 Speaker 20: complete and utter denial about it. If you listen to 1606 01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:16,000 Speaker 20: their morning bullet in, the Today Program or the five 1607 01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:19,320 Speaker 20: o'clock show PM, they're all saying a right wing coup 1608 01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:22,400 Speaker 20: has occurred within the BBC and we're all being penalized 1609 01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:25,320 Speaker 20: for it, and there's nothing wrong without journalism. It's a 1610 01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:31,720 Speaker 20: remarkable show of something defiance. I don't know. I think 1611 01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:35,360 Speaker 20: it's a show of ignorance that they just don't know 1612 01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:36,320 Speaker 20: the trouble they're in. 1613 01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:38,240 Speaker 2: It's funny you should say that because the woman who 1614 01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:41,040 Speaker 2: fell on his sawed yesterday along with the DG. She 1615 01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:43,760 Speaker 2: was out there this morning and I believe that she 1616 01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:46,880 Speaker 2: believes when she goes and we're not biased, I believe 1617 01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:50,720 Speaker 2: that she believes that. But she doesn't obviously understand just 1618 01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:53,439 Speaker 2: how out to lunch she clearly is, and the rest 1619 01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:55,280 Speaker 2: of the world doesn't see her the same way she 1620 01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:55,960 Speaker 2: sees herself. 1621 01:15:57,280 --> 01:15:59,639 Speaker 20: No, that's right. I think that's right. Because she comes 1622 01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:04,000 Speaker 20: from for you know, BBC background, they're all in the 1623 01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:08,280 Speaker 20: same bubble together. She probably thinks that being in favor 1624 01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:14,120 Speaker 20: of her mass is kind of civilized, and that taking 1625 01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:18,200 Speaker 20: the wilder views on trans issues, there was also a 1626 01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:23,000 Speaker 20: question of civility. Samir Shah said the same thing. He's 1627 01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:25,280 Speaker 20: the chairman of the BBC. He said he didn't think 1628 01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:29,640 Speaker 20: that the BBC was institutionally biased. I don't believe he 1629 01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:34,440 Speaker 20: thinks that. No, I think he knows that it is because. 1630 01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:38,160 Speaker 2: You know, you know him. I mean, but why would 1631 01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:41,080 Speaker 2: he do that if what you say's creed? Why would 1632 01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:41,840 Speaker 2: he go and say that? 1633 01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:45,800 Speaker 20: I think because what he feels he needs to do 1634 01:16:46,040 --> 01:16:49,240 Speaker 20: now is hold the BBC together in the wake of 1635 01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:53,320 Speaker 20: two of its most damaging resignations. The DJ in head 1636 01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:57,320 Speaker 20: of News, incidentally, the guy, the guy who said that 1637 01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:01,599 Speaker 20: the editing of the Panorama documentary was normal practice, remains 1638 01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:05,360 Speaker 20: head of News Content. God knows how, but there we are. 1639 01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:09,960 Speaker 20: So I think he is trying to pull the BBC together, 1640 01:17:10,680 --> 01:17:14,639 Speaker 20: but there's an existential threat. You know, if Donald Trump 1641 01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:18,240 Speaker 20: really does sue for a billion of quid, well that's 1642 01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:20,080 Speaker 20: kind of the end of the BBC, isn't it. 1643 01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:22,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, Well that it comes back to the business. Ironically, 1644 01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:24,960 Speaker 2: we must not forget there was the Parliament to inquiry 1645 01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:26,720 Speaker 2: which is due to go this week on Gaza and 1646 01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:30,760 Speaker 2: train so they head form and then you can't forget 1647 01:17:30,760 --> 01:17:33,559 Speaker 2: the fact it is publicly hunted. You know, text payers 1648 01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:37,040 Speaker 2: you know, pay for all of this, which leads to 1649 01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:39,680 Speaker 2: the question if it's biased and they've been caught and 1650 01:17:39,840 --> 01:17:41,960 Speaker 2: it's a problem, what do they do about it? 1651 01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:46,519 Speaker 20: Well, you see, this is a huge problem because I 1652 01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:48,640 Speaker 20: don't know that there's very much they can do. I 1653 01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:52,080 Speaker 20: spoke to Tim Davey when he became director general and 1654 01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:54,880 Speaker 20: he was well aware that there was a bias and 1655 01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:57,479 Speaker 20: he said as much, you know, he said, yes, there's 1656 01:17:57,479 --> 01:17:59,840 Speaker 20: a bias. He said, can we can put we can 1657 01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:03,519 Speaker 20: that right? And they thought they were winning the battle. 1658 01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:08,240 Speaker 20: You listened to this today, Freden and PM. It's still 1659 01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:14,200 Speaker 20: exactly the same stuff. And this this wasn't an attack 1660 01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:18,120 Speaker 20: from the right wing press. This dossier which which we're 1661 01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:21,519 Speaker 20: all reading at the moment. It wasn't, you know, the 1662 01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:25,320 Speaker 20: Murdoch Empire or the far right. It was their own 1663 01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:32,720 Speaker 20: editorial advisor who said, I'm afraid you're I'm shocked. They 1664 01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:38,840 Speaker 20: called it shocking, bias and discrimination in one direction. Remarkable. 1665 01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:41,720 Speaker 2: Somebody said yesterday, I can't I can't remember who it was, 1666 01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:45,360 Speaker 2: but the suggestion was that the DG's job is now undoable. 1667 01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:48,280 Speaker 2: You can't be a DG at the BBC. It's such 1668 01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:51,280 Speaker 2: a cluster. No one can fix it. Is that fail. 1669 01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:57,960 Speaker 20: It's certainly a job you wouldn't want, you know, whereas 1670 01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:00,160 Speaker 20: it used to be the greatest job in broader And 1671 01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:05,240 Speaker 20: of course it is true. And this is partly a 1672 01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:10,840 Speaker 20: consequence of our changing market, which is that there are 1673 01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:13,720 Speaker 20: people out there who will attack the BBC for ideological 1674 01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:17,400 Speaker 20: and commercial reasons and will keep on doing so and 1675 01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:21,000 Speaker 20: keep on dooing so and forcing the BBC. 1676 01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:21,720 Speaker 18: To react. 1677 01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:26,519 Speaker 20: By the same token, the BBC with social media and 1678 01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:28,680 Speaker 20: all this kind of stuff, the BBC is far more 1679 01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:32,000 Speaker 20: open now and we can see where it's where it's 1680 01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:36,280 Speaker 20: causing problems for itself. So it is a very very 1681 01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:39,160 Speaker 20: difficult job. And I you know, I feel some sympathy 1682 01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:40,040 Speaker 20: with Tim Davey. 1683 01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:42,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, having said that, I was going to the boss here, 1684 01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:45,120 Speaker 2: and I thought he made a reason. See when Lenka 1685 01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:47,200 Speaker 2: was there, I couldn't kill this what he thinks. He 1686 01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:49,000 Speaker 2: can be anything he wants as long as he's good 1687 01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:50,760 Speaker 2: at the football, that's all we're playing him for. And 1688 01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:53,040 Speaker 2: yet he got himself an endless amount of political trouble. 1689 01:19:53,240 --> 01:19:55,400 Speaker 2: What about all the DJs on the music stations who 1690 01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:56,840 Speaker 2: are out there. You know, there's a lot that the 1691 01:19:56,920 --> 01:19:59,760 Speaker 2: BBC does that's actually very popular, very successful, and very 1692 01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:04,920 Speaker 2: good that doesn't have any journalistic attachment to it at all, 1693 01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:08,080 Speaker 2: And it must be hard working for an organization that's 1694 01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:10,640 Speaker 2: dreadfully tainted. You're actually nothing to. 1695 01:20:10,680 --> 01:20:11,000 Speaker 12: Do with it. 1696 01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:15,640 Speaker 20: Well, no, indeed, And I remember when Greg'sduk came in 1697 01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:18,000 Speaker 20: as director General when I was working at the BBC, 1698 01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:20,000 Speaker 20: and he said, God, if I could only get rid 1699 01:20:20,040 --> 01:20:25,400 Speaker 20: of news, it would be fine. And indeed, last week 1700 01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:31,200 Speaker 20: everyone was in euphoria celebrating the final episode of Celebrity Traitors, 1701 01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:34,439 Speaker 20: which has been described as a television event of the year. 1702 01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:40,040 Speaker 20: That's something the BBC got very right. But over the years, 1703 01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:43,760 Speaker 20: even the good stuff has become tainted. You know, the 1704 01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:48,880 Speaker 20: dramas and now invariably are about some kind of intersectional 1705 01:20:49,040 --> 01:20:53,640 Speaker 20: politics issue. You know, the comedians tend to be all 1706 01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:58,160 Speaker 20: from the left. It infests everywhere because it's such an 1707 01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:01,760 Speaker 20: authoritarian dot other far left. So we're talking about the 1708 01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:05,559 Speaker 20: far left. You know, it's not the center left, it's 1709 01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:09,400 Speaker 20: the far left. And the BBC's sort why have we 1710 01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:12,720 Speaker 20: got an lgbtqu unit is the BBC? There isn't one 1711 01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:15,599 Speaker 20: at ITV, you know, why have one? 1712 01:21:17,439 --> 01:21:19,639 Speaker 2: It's very good question speaking of it TV. By the way, 1713 01:21:19,720 --> 01:21:24,400 Speaker 2: just quickly, can they sell the television business to Sky 1714 01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:26,920 Speaker 2: without some sort of regulator going we'll hold on here 1715 01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:29,320 Speaker 2: you are or now dominate a tremendous amount of the market. 1716 01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:34,240 Speaker 20: I don't know, it's the short answer to their my suspicion. 1717 01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:38,400 Speaker 20: And my suspicion is they probably can these days, but 1718 01:21:39,479 --> 01:21:41,880 Speaker 20: I don't know enough about it. I shall can up 1719 01:21:42,640 --> 01:21:44,080 Speaker 20: from when we next, from. 1720 01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:48,080 Speaker 2: When we next, prepare yourself, prepare, prepare yourself for Thursday. Rod, 1721 01:21:48,120 --> 01:21:50,120 Speaker 2: there will be at least sixteen questions on that subject 1722 01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:52,479 Speaker 2: coming your way. I appreciate your times always, Rod Little Yeah, 1723 01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:55,679 Speaker 2: so ITV. So the television business gets sold to Sky 1724 01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:59,639 Speaker 2: also in Britain, doesn't include the production stuff. The production 1725 01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:02,519 Speaker 2: stuff as I'm a celebrity, Love Island all that other bollocks, 1726 01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:06,880 Speaker 2: but they will have They about seventy percent of the 1727 01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:09,680 Speaker 2: UK television advertising market if it goes ahead. So I 1728 01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:11,640 Speaker 2: would have thought somebody, someone has got to have a 1729 01:22:11,720 --> 01:22:12,080 Speaker 2: look at that. 1730 01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:17,040 Speaker 1: It's eight forty five The like Asking Breakfast Full Show 1731 01:22:17,120 --> 01:22:20,560 Speaker 1: podcast on iHeartRadio powered by news Talks. 1732 01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:24,840 Speaker 2: At b Post this morning has got a hilarious piece 1733 01:22:24,920 --> 01:22:28,280 Speaker 2: on Tory far Now. So the portrait, we told you 1734 01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:30,639 Speaker 2: about it at the time. So they suggested the council 1735 01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:34,559 Speaker 2: that for meryal portraits you need the photograph, not a painting. 1736 01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:37,640 Speaker 2: Paintings are more expensive than a photograph. So she ignores that, 1737 01:22:37,760 --> 01:22:40,320 Speaker 2: of course, because she's so much better than you and 1738 01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:42,880 Speaker 2: I are. So she went and got the painting done. 1739 01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:45,559 Speaker 2: But then having got the painting done, she then goes 1740 01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:49,040 Speaker 2: and holds a special at ratepayers expense, of course, a 1741 01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:52,760 Speaker 2: special revealing party for family and friends, just just some 1742 01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:56,759 Speaker 2: close family and friends, and at Roweth's Gallery two hundred 1743 01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:59,160 Speaker 2: gourmet Canna pays from Nosh Catering.

It's a little bit tricky, isn't it? Anyway? 1749 01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:22,160 Speaker 2: We pay for all of that washed down with I 1750 01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:26,759 Speaker 2: thought to be frank for thirty people a fairly meager 1751 01:23:26,880 --> 01:23:28,880 Speaker 2: offering of beer and wine two hundred seventy six dollars 1752 01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:30,519 Speaker 2: and twenty cents.

Or do you go, oh, toy shit. 1763 01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:01,280 Speaker 14: I don't know how many of the Green voters are 1764 01:24:01,320 --> 01:24:02,559 Speaker 14: listening to you listening that off? 1765 01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:05,599 Speaker 2: Unfortunately, are you saying we don't have a big Green audience? 1766 01:24:05,680 --> 01:24:07,719 Speaker 2: Clean you'd need to offer proce. 1767 01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:09,200 Speaker 14: I just saying I don't know how many I'd have 1768 01:24:09,320 --> 01:24:10,640 Speaker 14: to dig down into the. 1769 01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:15,439 Speaker 2: I reckon we're at I think we're hot with the Greens. 1770 01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:18,840 Speaker 2: By the way they issued I didn't realize they did that. 1771 01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:22,080 Speaker 2: You know, the people who do the MP salaries, the 1772 01:24:22,240 --> 01:24:26,320 Speaker 2: Remuneration Authority, which is an independent authority, the Remuneration Authority 1773 01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:29,240 Speaker 2: for reasons, I equally don't know this either, but they 1774 01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:34,320 Speaker 2: announced yesterday the review of incomes for the Wanganui, Ruher 1775 01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:37,680 Speaker 2: pay WHO and rang Atiki councils. So they don't do 1776 01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:38,960 Speaker 2: it all at once. I would have thought it was 1777 01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:41,920 Speaker 2: an are than one exercise. But anyway, massive pay increases, 1778 01:24:42,320 --> 01:24:45,760 Speaker 2: huge pay increases for councils Wanganui. Your council is getting 1779 01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:48,760 Speaker 2: a twenty five and a half percent pay rise. Horizons 1780 01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:52,599 Speaker 2: are not as bad, but you're getting a very large 1781 01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:54,439 Speaker 2: pay rise as well, and a six and a half 1782 01:24:54,479 --> 01:24:57,080 Speaker 2: percent pay rise in Rangatiki.

It doesn't matter whether you're any good or 1788 01:25:11,479 --> 01:25:13,080 Speaker 2: not because we don't count it that way. It's just 1789 01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:16,360 Speaker 2: a human, you know. But twenty five percent a lot 1790 01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:18,200 Speaker 2: of money, isn't it.
