1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: A bit of Engston Palmerston as the council wants. That's

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: extension on sugary drinks band at sports grounds, So we

3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: get eight more venues targeted, apparently, including the Trust Arena

4
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: which is the home of the turbot as well as

5
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: the speedway. Bruce Robertson is a promoter of the National

6
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: Superstock Speedway and is will this Bruce very good morning

7
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: to you?

8
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 2: Good morning, like good morning.

9
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: Do you face these things anywhere else around the country,

10
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: do you know in terms of speedway and events and

11
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: what you get to do and don't do and can

12
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: and can't sell.

13
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 2: Well, I guess that's a trend that's starting to evolve

14
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 2: in New Zealand at the moment. They councils are wanting

15
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: to and certain people, I guess are wanting to control

16
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 2: what people eat and drink and that sort of thing.

17
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 2: So I guess it's a sign of the times, although

18
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 2: here there's some fairly strong opposition to it, I believe.

19
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, would it affect you on a night out in

20
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: terms of revenue or your slice of the revenue or

21
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: anything like that, Well, I.

22
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: Guess people like to be able to make their own

23
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: decision as to what they want to drink and what

24
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: they want to eat. And I guess sugar is in

25
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 2: lots of things these days. It's even in an orange juice.

26
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 2: And I guess tomato sauce as well. Look, there's sugar

27
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: and tomato sauce, so you might be able to have

28
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: sauce on your chips or your hot dogs.

29
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: There's a lot of tomato. There's a lot of sugar

30
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: and tomato sauce. I could bore your whitnss with my

31
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,279
Speaker 1: knowledge of the amount of sugar and tomato sauce. But

32
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: the other thing is booze. Of course booze is full

33
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: of sugar exactly.

34
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 2: But then who's going to accept that as a restriction.

35
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: So you've just got to put up with it. Right,

36
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: So if you want to hire a ground and the

37
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: council owns the ground and they say at this particular ground, this, this,

38
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: and this happened, you just got to suck it up.

39
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: You've got a yes, I think an actual fact in

40
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 2: parners to North here. I believe that they are only selling.

41
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: We don't do the catering side of it. The council

42
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: handles that it's a council facility, and I believe they've

43
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: only been selling diet coke and diet sprite in the

44
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 2: last couple of years, but now they're wanting to extend

45
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: it further by the sounds of things, and over a

46
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: lot of other venues, and people aren't happy about it.

47
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 2: There's the feedback I'm getting. There's a lot of resistance

48
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: to them. We're saying, hey, this is a nanny state.

49
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 2: What are we trying to do here? It would be

50
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 2: nanny city Farmers to north.

51
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: Bus Bruce appreciated. Bruce Robinson speedway promoter. Grant Smith, who's

52
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: the mayor, methinks is a bit of overreach as well.

53
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to
