1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: The only drive show you can try the truck to 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: ask the questions, you get the answers, find a fact sack. 3 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 2: And give the analysis. 4 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: Heather Duplicy Ellen, Drive with One New Zealand and the 5 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 1: power of satellite mobile news Talks ENV. 6 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,440 Speaker 3: Afternoon, Welcome to the show. Coming up today, We're going 7 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 3: to go to the Middle East to a journalist, a 8 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 3: Kiwi journalist base. They're affected by the air strikes. Chris Bishop, 9 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,639 Speaker 3: the minister responsible for the RMA reform, given councils the 10 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 3: power to kill the native species. And we'll tell you 11 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 3: why you need to stop chewing gum. 12 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 2: Heather Duplicy Ellen. 13 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,919 Speaker 3: Okay, let's talk about this debate that Halen Clark has 14 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 3: set off about where the New Zealand should be condemning 15 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 3: the US air strikes on Iran. Now you'll have noticed 16 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 3: this New Zealand hasn't condemned the air strikes. In fact, 17 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 3: in a radio interview this morning, the Prime Minister said 18 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 3: that our position is the same as the Australian position, 19 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 3: and the Australian position is that they support the strikes. 20 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 3: So therefore logical conclusion we actually support the strikes, even 21 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 3: if we aren't saying it out loud ourselves. That level 22 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 3: or that lack of condemnation has upset Helen Clark because 23 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 3: the air strikes are illegal under international law, and she's 24 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 3: right about that. But can anyone argue that the strikes 25 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 3: should not have happened, because let's consider the counterfactual. The 26 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 3: counterfactual is that the strikes didn't happen over the weekend. 27 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 3: Ayatollahamany is still alive. He's continuing to kill tens of 28 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 3: thousands of Iranians for protesting, continues to fund Hamas to 29 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 3: attack Israel, continues to fund and support the Hooties to 30 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 3: cause trouble in the Middle East, continues to fund and 31 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 3: support Hezbollah to create more trouble in the Middle East. 32 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 3: Continues to cause trouble as close to home as Australia, 33 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 3: where Iran apparently directed the fire bombing of a synagogue 34 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 3: in Melbourne just a few months ago. It is exactly 35 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 3: the same situation that the world found itself as with 36 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 3: Venezuela and the capturing of Maduro. Shouldn't have happened, broke 37 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 3: the rules, but no one said that someone did break 38 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 3: the rules and do the thing that needed to be done. Now, 39 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 3: obviously this doesn't mean that it's going to be a success. 40 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 3: Bombing a country to false regime change rarely works. What 41 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 3: comes next might be worse. The disruption to the Middle 42 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 3: East might be more than it's worth. But all of 43 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 3: those are unknowns at this stage. What is known at 44 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 3: this stage is that the Iranian regime was murdering its 45 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 3: own people, was disrupting the region, and was trying to 46 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 3: disrupt even further afield. So yes, what happened over the 47 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 3: weekend broke the rules, But tell me if you're upset 48 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 3: that that has been done all together? 49 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 2: Do for sea Islan. 50 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 3: Nine nine two is the text number. Standard text fees apply. 51 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 3: Now A food Stuff's merger is back on the table. 52 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 3: Possibly let's headed to the High Court today. The company's 53 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 3: appealing a twenty twenty four decision by the Commus Commission 54 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 3: that blocked its plan to join food Stuff's North Island 55 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 3: and food Stuff South Island under one roof. Sue Chetwyn 56 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 3: is the chair of the Gross Reyaction Group and with 57 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 3: us Hi Sue Hi, what's the basis for the appeal? 58 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 4: So what Varre saying is that the Commus Commission got 59 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 4: it wrong, that that there will be more efficiencies. If 60 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 4: the North and South can combine is one and the 61 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 4: merger should be allowed to proceed. Of course, the Grace 62 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 4: Reaction Group doesn't agree with that, and does agree with 63 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 4: the Commus Commission in that we think that allowing the 64 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 4: North and South merger basically just strengthens the duopoly and 65 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 4: makes it harder for suppliers. And that's what the Commuce 66 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:31,119 Speaker 4: Commission was arguing that that sort of upstream suppliers would 67 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 4: have less choice as to who they supplied their goods to. 68 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 4: At the moment, they've got the North Island and the 69 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 4: South Island food stuffs. 70 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 3: And wool West. 71 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 4: But if you merge to the North and South Island 72 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 4: food stuffs, you'd be down to two. 73 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, how much what proportion do you reckon of? I mean, 74 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 3: I don't know if this is even possible to quantify, 75 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 3: but what proportional of the margin is caused by the 76 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 3: fact that we don't have that many players, that there 77 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 3: is a constraint in the number of people that suppliers 78 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 3: can negotiate with. 79 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 4: Look, you know, the Commis Commission has done sort of 80 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 4: work around that, and of course the OECD has had 81 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 4: a view on it, and that we pay very high 82 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 4: prices for groceries in New Zealand, and that is simply 83 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 4: down to the fact that we don't really have enough competition. 84 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 4: We have two players who control eighty percent of the market. 85 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 3: Did you see the news over the weekend that Tesco 86 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 3: was courted to come here. 87 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 4: Yes, and they're not the only ones. The government's been 88 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 4: desperate to get somebody to come and of course there 89 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 4: is Costco here, but you know they haven't been able 90 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 4: to encourage anybody in. It would be really good if 91 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 4: that did happen, But failing that, what would be I 92 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 4: guess the next best thing, or even the best thing, 93 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 4: is to encourage some local players to. 94 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 5: Have a go. 95 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 3: Is this what it comes down to? Because it sounds 96 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 3: like read reading the reports over the weekend, it sounds 97 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 3: like Nikolaulas had to personally invite Tesco to take a 98 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 3: look at New Zealand. Is this what it's coming down to? 99 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 3: That we and I remember the last labor administration. I 100 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 3: don't know if it was David la or somebody was 101 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,679 Speaker 3: chasing down it was aldi. Do we have to actually 102 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 3: have our ministers asking people to consider investing here. 103 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 4: Look, I think we do, and to give them they 104 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 4: have Sure surely if we're not seen as being competitive here, 105 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 4: I think. 106 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 3: But surely if I mean, these are global players, right, 107 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 3: they'll have read the news. They'll have looked at it 108 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 3: and gone, did you know what New Zealand has been 109 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 3: talking about for the last four or five years? They 110 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 3: need more supermarket players. Let's have a look at it. 111 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 3: And surely they're all having a look and going, nah. 112 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 4: Look, I think that's exactly what the situation is. Whether 113 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 4: rightly or wrongly, they have made a decision about you know, 114 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 4: New Zealand's population and the competitiveness here. But the hurdle 115 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 4: for them is so high because the two, you know, 116 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 4: the duopoly here has eighty percent of the market. So 117 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 4: you've got to come in and within a matter of 118 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 4: sort of two years or possibly slightly longer, but not 119 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 4: a lot longer, establish profitability a country where there is 120 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 4: this stronghold. So you've actually got to get supermarkets and 121 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 4: physical buildings and get going and have the money to 122 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 4: sort of hold on for a few years. And that's tough, 123 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 4: and that's why we think, you know that the only 124 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 4: way to make it happen is a forced avestment of 125 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 4: some of the shops now you know, break up New 126 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 4: World and pack and. 127 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 3: Say, really, I mean, you don't think that we could 128 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 3: change the rules even further, like make it easier to 129 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 3: get in here, make it easier to consent a whole 130 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 3: bunch of shops at once. Do kind of the red 131 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 3: tape cutting? Would that not be sufficient? 132 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 4: Lockevar doing that? You know that for any international player 133 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 4: who wanted to come in here, you know the red 134 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 4: tape is at its lowest level. But it's just that, 135 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 4: you know that very high bar in the grip that 136 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 4: will worth some and food. 137 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 3: Okay, So you're saying, unless Nikola Willis has the cahorne 138 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 3: is to actually break up these these big businesses, nothing's 139 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 3: going to change, no big players coming in. 140 00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 6: No. 141 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 3: I would say that that is exactly the case. 142 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 4: We could hope and pray for a big international player, 143 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 4: but they've all had the opportunity and they've all said 144 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 4: it looks like it's too tough. 145 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 3: Good stuff. So it's good to talk to you. Thank 146 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 3: you so much, Sue Chetwin, Grocery Action Group chair. 147 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 2: Here. 148 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 3: The breaking the rules against someone who breaks the rules 149 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 3: as fined by me and nuclear threat is history now, 150 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 3: not quite. I mean it's a fair bit more bombing 151 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 3: to do to make sure that the whole of the 152 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 3: Revolutionary Guard is taken out. And I don't even know 153 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 3: if Donald Trump's in it for that, But what about 154 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 3: the cheek of this right? So, I don't know if 155 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 3: you were aware of it, but the Australians kicked out 156 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 3: their ambassadors to Iran or told them to get rid 157 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 3: of himself last year. Our one, though was still in situ. 158 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 3: The Iranian ambassador to New Zealand has given an interview 159 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 3: today calling out on our government to condemn the attacks. 160 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 3: He said his name as Resin as a Hai. He 161 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 3: described the attacks as explicit aggression and violation of the 162 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 3: United Nations Charter. There's no doubt about it. It deserves 163 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 3: a very clear type of condemnation, which I think is 164 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 3: extremely cheeky coming from a guy who supports a represent 165 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 3: a rangi that has just spent the last few months 166 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 3: slaughtering its own people in the streets by shooting them 167 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 3: point blank. So crocodile tears quarter past. 168 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: It's the Heather to Bussy All and Drive Full show 169 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News Talk zeb. 170 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 3: Heather On Sunday, after Trump bomb Durana piled my keyw saver. 171 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 3: I pulled my key we saver from high risk to 172 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 3: all cash funds. It changed over an hour ago. I 173 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 3: haven't had any losses. People may want to do the same.

Just about twenty two under across the four rounds 187 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 7: in seventy two holes of golf. He only had four 188 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 7: bogies across the entire seventy two so par or better 189 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 7: on sixty eight of the seventy two holes. That is 190 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,319 Speaker 7: championship winning golf. The conditions were different across the four days. 191 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 7: There was a day when it was howling and the 192 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 7: wind and the rain. Another day it was beautiful, so 193 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 7: he mastered all the conditions, plus the pressure of his 194 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 7: home open. He was the favorite, probably which adds it's 195 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 7: extra little challenge as well, but he negotiated all of 196 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 7: that and and yesterday afternoon parted it on the eighteenth 197 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 7: for a two stroke victory. So good on Daniel Hilly 198 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 7: a week after he got married, and afterwards he even said, look, 199 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 7: this is the second best day of my life. The 200 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 7: best one was, of course a week ago when we 201 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 7: tied the knots. So well done to Daniel Hillia. 202 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 3: Well done to understanding the rules of marriage indeed, because 203 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 3: I feel like you're going to get more drunk after 204 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 3: this win than you are on your wedding day. And 205 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 3: career wise, does this change anything for him? 206 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 7: Well, good for me. He's on the dp World Tour, 207 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 7: which is the European Tour. He only narrowly missed out 208 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 7: on PGA Tour qualification last year. He is well on 209 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 7: track to do that for next year. I think this 210 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 7: is you know, it's not the start of anything. He's 211 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 7: been a good goal for a while. But it's another 212 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 7: box ticked and another really really good tournament for Daniel. 213 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 7: I think you'll see him on the PGA Tour in 214 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 7: twenty twenty seven. 215 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 3: Okay, So was it something of a surprise to see 216 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,599 Speaker 3: the Crusaders win at the weekend, wasn't it it? 217 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 8: Oh and two? 218 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 7: I thought the Chiefs were going to beat them, and 219 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 7: at fourteen mill ahead, I thought the Chiefs were definitely 220 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 7: going to beat them. But the Crusaders do what the Crusaders, 221 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 7: you know, usually do they win games. Look, I kind 222 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 7: of this is different from two years ago when they 223 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 7: you know, they lost their first four games I think 224 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 7: it was, and went on to miss the playoffs. This 225 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 7: seems like a different Crusaders side, very much a blip 226 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 7: at the start of the season. On Saturday Night, they 227 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 7: were very good against the Chiefs and Will Jordan was 228 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 7: I think the pick of the bunch, and we must 229 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 7: remember he missed the entire twenty twenty four season through injury. 230 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 7: So yeah, it was it was not a but the 231 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 7: Crusaders here that the only New Zealand team to win 232 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 7: over the weekends, so that that was a bit of 233 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 7: a surprise to me. 234 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, now, this is so. Phil Gifford has written about 235 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 3: this and said that basically the balance of power shifted 236 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 3: to Australia. Is it too soon to call that on 237 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 3: one weekend set of. 238 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 7: Results or is it something? Yeah, no, I think it is. 239 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 7: I mean, I feel's obviously been around for a long 240 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 7: time and it's a it's I mean, it's a pertinent 241 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 7: observation with the Brumbies and the Warratars at the top 242 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 7: of the table at the moment. But yeah, look, I 243 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 7: mean it's still early. I still get the feeling that 244 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 7: the New Zealand teams will get their act together. 245 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 3: But usual though, isn't it. 246 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 2: It is? 247 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 7: And after three rounds here that every team's had at 248 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 7: least one win. That's unusual too, So we always want 249 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 7: even competitions. I think we've got one. 250 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 3: So what's happened? Why is this happening? 251 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 7: It's a very good question. Look, a couple of things. 252 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 7: I think inconsistency among some of our teams. 253 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 2: Weather. 254 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,599 Speaker 7: I mean, did you see the Hurricanes up against the 255 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 7: drawer over the weekend. It was like monsoon. They were 256 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 7: playing on a mud bath. So there's that at I 257 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 7: think teams, you know, play well at home, but others 258 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 7: are playing well away. The Force came and beat Mauana PACIFICA. 259 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 7: I think it's a combination of things, you know. I 260 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 7: don't think there's any one reason for it. 261 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, Piney, thank you, appreciate it. Jason Pine and Sports 262 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 3: Talk Hoast will be back this evening at seven. So 263 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 3: the Crusaders beat the Chiefs. That was unusual, The Reds 264 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 3: beat the Highlanders. That was unusual. The Brumbies beat the 265 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 3: Blues that was unusual. And the Druer beat the Hurricanes. 266 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 3: That was unusual. Now what have I been moaning about. 267 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,559 Speaker 3: I've been moaning about the fact that Super Rugby is 268 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 3: boring and predictable. Maybe it's time for me to start 269 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 3: watching Super Rugby again. 270 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: For twenty two, the headlines and the hard questions, it's 271 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: the mic asking breakfast. 272 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 2: To prime ministers with US Iran is legal. 273 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 9: Well, ultimately that's up to the Americans and the Israelis 274 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 9: to assert. But let's be under no illusion. This was 275 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 9: not a regime that New Zealand has supported or been 276 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 9: in favor of for decades under successive governments. I mean, 277 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 9: it's a regime that's brutally repressing its own people, murdering 278 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 9: tens of thousands of people, one that's actually been arming 279 00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 9: proxies and terrorism around the world. And we've had years 280 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 9: diplomacy to try and manage the nuclear program and the 281 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 9: illistic missile program as well. No efect, so you know 282 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 9: we won't be mourning the loss of this leader. 283 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,199 Speaker 2: Do you endorse the attacks? 284 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 9: Well, do I understand why they're doing it, And ultimately 285 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 9: it's up to the Iranian people now to determine what 286 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 9: happens next and where it goes. 287 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 10: To back tomorrow at six am the Mic Hosking Breakfast 288 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 10: with Mayley's Real Estate News Talk z B. 289 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: The name you druft to get the answers you need, 290 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 1: It's Heather Duplicy el and Drive with one New Zealand 291 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: coverage like no one else US Talk ZEDB. 292 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 3: Four twenty five. Chris Luxen is just holding his post 293 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 3: cabinet press conference at the moment, obviously speaking about Iran. 294 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 9: Legitimacy of a government rests on the support of its people. 295 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 9: The Iranian regime has long since lost that support in 296 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 9: the most brutal way possible. He zyell and stands with 297 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 9: the brave people of Iran and in recent weeks they 298 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 9: have taken to the streets to demand regime change, only 299 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 9: to be met by violence and murder. The Iranian people 300 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 9: must be allowed to determine their future and to live 301 00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 9: free from fear of their own government. 302 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 3: Whether that is what happens next is a gigantic question. 303 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 3: He's also talked about designating the Royal the IRGC as 304 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 3: a terrorist organization, back calls for New. 305 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 11: Zealand to designate the IRGC as a terrorist entity. 306 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 9: Will you do that again? That has been a process, 307 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 9: as you know, around terrorism designation that we have separately 308 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 9: from this event. But suffice to say that I think 309 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 9: we'll have a decision on that very shortly. 310 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 3: That is obviously the Revolutionary Guard. So anyway, Barrissopa is 311 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 3: going to be with us. He's listening to the press conference. 312 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 3: He will be with us on that in about twenty minutes.

It's 345 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 3: now sitting at about seventy five dollars fifty two a barrel. 346 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 3: That's up from seventy three dollars at the close on Friday. 347 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 3: I think West Texas oil is around about up four percent. 348 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 3: It had briefly gone up even higher, but then calm 349 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 3: down ever so slightly hither. The Brumby's beating the Blues 350 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 3: is not unusual. The Brumbyes thumped the Crusaders last weekend 351 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 3: and have been the most consistent Australian team for years. 352 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 3: Please don't talk about rugby Janus. That's fair. That is fair. 353 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 3: If anybody and if any of the squads in Australia 354 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 3: from you bump fair, If any of the squads in 355 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 3: Australia are going to be the ones that thump us 356 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 3: from time to time, it's going to be the Brumbies. 357 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 3: But I always am just disappointed that there's even a 358 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 3: single Australian squad that can beat us. I lump them 359 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 3: all in the same basket hither, I wouldn't recommend moving 360 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 3: your fund to cash. Yes, it's completely feasible that you 361 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 3: may make a one to four percent gain. The issues 362 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 3: as you is, at what point will you know when 363 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 3: you get back in to the high risk stuff. The 364 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 3: chances is you will miss the upswing and you'll gain 365 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 3: nothing or worse. Professional funds already carry a percentage of 366 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 3: your investment in cash, ready to take advantage of it anytime. 367 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 3: This is from Phil to counter the advice you got before. 368 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 3: As I say, don't take advice from Ben or Phil 369 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 3: for that matter. Wait for Brad Olson, who's going to 370 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 3: be with us in two hours time. Very Soper standing by. 371 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,400 Speaker 3: It's twenty four away from five. 372 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: It's the world wires on newstalks, they'd be drive. 373 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 3: Israel has launched a series of attacks on Lebanon. It's 374 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 3: a response to a rocket and drone attack by his 375 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 3: Bolla against Israel, and the experts says his Bolla's attack 376 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 3: was high risk but low. 377 00:17:55,480 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 14: Reward projectiles that clearly had no potential effect on the 378 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 14: unfolding of the events, but nonetheless that triggered the type 379 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 14: of Israeli reaction that is likely not to be limited 380 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 14: to just what we have seen. 381 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,640 Speaker 3: Donald Trump is called on Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard, called 382 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 3: to surrender or die. He says the strikes on Iran 383 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 3: that killed the Supreme Leader were completely justified. 384 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 5: They are the world's number one stage sponsor of terror. 385 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 10: We are the world's greatest and most powerful nations. 386 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 2: So we can do something about what they do. Now. 387 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 3: Iran has made retaliatory attacks on the Gulf States. As 388 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 3: a result, the UK is now allowing the US military 389 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 3: to use British basis for defensive actions. Here's Kirstama. 390 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 15: The basis of our decision is the collective self defense 391 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 15: of long standing friends and allies and protecting British lives. 392 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 3: And finally, how then to explain so The hearts and 393 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 3: social media trend and is called reparenting your parents. The 394 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 3: general idea is that as your parents tak you skills 395 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 3: like how to walk and how to talk, as they 396 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 3: get older, you can teach them skills like how to 397 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 3: use food delivery apps like Uber East. Some social media 398 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 3: users say that reparenting has helped them to resolve disputes 399 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 3: they've had with their parents and to reconnect with them. 400 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 3: And like every generation, they think that this is something 401 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 3: that they've discovered by themselves. Every generation has had to 402 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 3: teach their parents the new things. Welcome to the world. 403 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of Mind 404 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business. 405 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 3: Sam Emory, Australia correspondents with US Hi. Sam, good Day, 406 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 3: I have it right, Give me a rundown of Australia's response. 407 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 16: Well, yes, yes, Today the PMS awkwardly backed the US 408 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 16: Israeli strikes and Iran to as he said, stop the 409 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 16: use of nuclear weapons. The government has since come out 410 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 16: a bit firmer and said that they did not receive 411 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 16: any warning or notice that this strike was happening. The 412 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 16: Foreign Minister Wong has ruled out any sort of military 413 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 16: involvement now or as she put it, in the foreseeable 414 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 16: future at this time, though still nothing from the Defense Minister. 415 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 16: The Greens not a huge surprise. They're calling it an 416 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 16: act or an illegal act based on international law, asking 417 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 16: questions about if the US base here in Australia helped 418 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 16: the strike, and they're also asking for the legal justifications 419 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 16: around the entire thing. We've got about one hundred and 420 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,199 Speaker 16: fifteen thousand Australians in the broader Middle East region. I 421 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 16: heard you mentioned people trying to get out of there 422 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 16: at the moment. It's obviously a nightmare. The Foreign Minister 423 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 16: has said her office is in discussions with airlines, acknowledging 424 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,360 Speaker 16: that evacuations are just so difficult, stating the commercial flights 425 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 16: are still the fastest way home if you can get 426 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 16: on them once the airspace reopens. Now, one of the 427 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 16: most striking media moments Heather came from Sky News host 428 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 16: Rita Panaki, who is Iranian Australian, and delivered what she 429 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 16: called her shortest ever editorial. In her words, when the 430 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 16: dictator is dead and Iran is on the verge of liberation, 431 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 16: Penna no. He then switched to Persian and reportedly told 432 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 16: the audience and the now deceased leader she said to him, 433 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 16: burn in hell. So that's quite a viral moment and 434 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 16: in a sense captures the mood among the reported fifty 435 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,719 Speaker 16: thousand strong Rainian Australian community here. You know, we've had 436 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 16: rallies in Sydney, Melbourne, outside the former embassy in Canberra, 437 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 16: with people reportedly dancing and spraying champagne. Meanwhile, there have 438 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,120 Speaker 16: been some anti war protests taking place as well, and 439 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 16: just quickly on the petrol prices. The n ROME spokesperson 440 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 16: is in question time right now as we speak and 441 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 16: he said the expectation is around ten percent initially on 442 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,640 Speaker 16: the oil prices. I think we've already seen that happen 443 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 16: in some places now. 444 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 3: I mean this is somewhat overshadowing of you see, Angus 445 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 3: Taylor's first week is the opposition leader, but has gone 446 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 3: for him. 447 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 16: Yeah, whether or not he likes the distraction, it's certainly 448 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 16: probably just turned up the heat for him that he's 449 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 16: the new opposition leaders. The first week for him walking 450 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 16: in as question time as the leader and the coalition 451 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 16: is still unsteady. He's essentially pulling a party back together. 452 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 16: It was very much in tatters after the last election 453 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 16: and even more so since Susan Lee took over. In 454 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 16: a media conference that just ended recently, Angus Taylor told 455 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 16: a packed media scrump that he welcomes the action taken 456 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 16: against Iran. This is his first big moment as the 457 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 16: opposition leader. He added that they stand ready to provide 458 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 16: whatever support alongside with the government to make sure that 459 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 16: this is a successful regime change and no one that 460 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 16: can see the freedom from tyranny of the Iranian peoples. 461 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 16: So no mention of nuclear power. They're heather interesting that 462 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 16: he used quite some language to what the PM has 463 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 16: used so far with him as leader of the opposition. 464 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 16: It's been a positive thing for the coalition. They've seen 465 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 16: them jump up two points, but they're still trailing way 466 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 16: behind Labor. And also the surprise one obviously is One 467 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,959 Speaker 16: Nation and that will also be another one that Angus 468 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 16: Taylor and the government will have to deal with this 469 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 16: week with a censure motion against Pauline Hansen, the leader 470 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 16: of One Nation, for her comment recently about there being 471 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 16: no good Muslims the Matilda's. 472 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,239 Speaker 3: Now they're supposed to be playing around, aren't they. What 473 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 3: was it on Thursday? Is that still going to happen? 474 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 2: That's right? 475 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 16: Yeah, it's one of those difficult things, isn't I had 476 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 16: it with sport and politics when you don't really want 477 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 16: them to combine. But this is hard to get away 478 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,919 Speaker 16: with that playing this Thursday. Australia kicked it off with 479 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 16: the one Neil win against the Philippines last night, but 480 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 16: there's already been a couple of Iranian players who have 481 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 16: pulled out, saying that it just doesn't feel right. And 482 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 16: then there was also a press conference today around Coach 483 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 16: was asked about the Supreme leaders death. He responded in Farsi, 484 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 16: but before he could even get through it or a 485 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 16: media official cut the translation off and cut the sound 486 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,679 Speaker 16: to the to the actual interview. So interesting to see 487 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 16: what he has said there. But yeah, interesting to see 488 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 16: if it still goes ahead. 489 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 3: Yes, Sam, thank you very much for that. Look after yourself, 490 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 3: Sam Emory, Australia correspondent.

Lean into it. 513 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: Quarter two Politics with centrics credit, check your customers and 514 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: get payment certainty. 515 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you shortly why well, I'm gonna 516 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 3: needt somebody else to tell you why chewing gum is 517 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 3: a really bad idea idea for you. So stand by. 518 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 3: That's quarter past five right now, it's thirteen away from 519 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 3: five and Barry Soper, Senior Political Correspondence with US. 520 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 10: Hey, Barry, good afternoon. It does outsourcing include computers? 521 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 3: No, enough said? 522 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 10: Okay, fine, let's move. 523 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 3: On, Barry. Honestly, if people could understand that you and 524 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 3: computers is like a verbal like the abuse that that 525 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 3: computer suffers at your hands. Verbally, I had. 526 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 10: To bring in the experts in our company two weeks, 527 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 10: starring on for two weeks. They couldn't figure it out. 528 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 10: So they went and got a new computer which I'm 529 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 10: now operating. 530 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 3: But also complained about it. 531 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 10: It wasn't download. 532 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 3: The first of us had to listen to it for 533 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 3: two weeks. The outsourced with grace in silence. Now the 534 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 3: Israel US attack on Iran has gone down? How well? 535 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 10: You know, assion if you look at the arguments, and 536 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 10: I can see them both ways. One is the intellectual 537 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 10: argument that the UN did not agree with the invasion 538 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 10: and or the bombing, and in fact that's true. But 539 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 10: and even the premise that Donald Trump made was not 540 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 10: a correct resolution anyway, they went under imminent threat from 541 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 10: Iran and on the nuclear wish weapon issue. If you 542 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 10: believed Donald Trump, he said after their last bombing in 543 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 10: Iran that they had knocked out their nuclear capability. So 544 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,160 Speaker 10: where that stands, Goodness only knows. But look, even though 545 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 10: New Zealand didn't directly support the attack, the Prime Minister 546 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 10: insisted at this news conference its afternoon that they're not 547 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 10: far apart from the Australians or the Canadians. 548 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 9: The US and Israel have their own deep intelligence, deep 549 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 9: information networks. I would imagine in this region. We are 550 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 9: not central to this region. We're a long long way 551 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 9: away from it. They have made an assessment based off 552 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 9: the information intelligence that they must have about the legal 553 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,199 Speaker 9: basis for this attack, but also about the rationale for 554 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,719 Speaker 9: doing this attack. All I can say is in zooming 555 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 9: out is that as New Zealand, we've had a long 556 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 9: standing commitment under successive governments that any actions that stops 557 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 9: around from getting a nuclear weapon is a good thing. 558 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 9: Any actions that take are to stop them from sponsoring 559 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 9: terrorism is a good thing. Any actions that stops them 560 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 9: from killing their own people is a good thing. This 561 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 9: is not a good regime and that has been a 562 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 9: long standing position of New Zealand governments under different administrations. 563 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:58,199 Speaker 10: So it's certainly been condemned what our own has been 564 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 10: up to you. But look, I listened to today and 565 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 10: I found them really interesting. There were a couple of 566 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 10: views from the USC experts. The first one came from 567 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 10: the youngest Republican Senator, Tim Sheehy from Montana, who, as 568 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 10: a return serviceman, served in the Middle East. Haven't listen 569 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 10: to what he had. 570 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 17: Iran has been destabilizing the readings for forty six years. 571 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 17: So to say that to take them out is going 572 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 17: to destabilize the region, I think is a little bit backwards. 573 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 17: Their very presence and they're very continued action has been destabilized, 574 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 17: and of course there's going to be hopefully not much 575 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 17: longer a few days, a couple of weeks of more action. 576 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 17: We're going to have to wear that risk, as are they, 577 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 17: and we've got to finish the job we started. This 578 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 17: is good for America, it's good for the free world. 579 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 17: They do not care what administration is in the White House. 580 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 17: They're going to kill Americans one way or the other. 581 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 17: They're going to take us hostage. They're going to murder 582 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 17: our citizens and our allies. 583 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 10: Yeah, he did tours of duty in Iraq, Afghanistan and 584 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 10: the likes, But look, finishing the job. I think, if 585 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 10: you listen to the next person, will be much harder 586 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 10: than just killing the supreme leader. If you listen to 587 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 10: a world expert on Iran, Professor vally Nessa from John 588 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 10: Hopkins University, do you ever listen to this? 589 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 18: Iran is today functioning on the basis of a deep state, 590 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 18: a set of bureaucrats, statesmen, clerics, and revolutionary guard commanders 591 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 18: and military commanders who are running the system collectively based 592 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 18: on the network of authority and power that they have 593 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 18: independent of the Supreme Leader. They got their guidance from him, 594 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 18: but the day to day running of the country was 595 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 18: not done by the Supreme Leader is done by this 596 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 18: deep state. 597 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 10: So really interesting that to me that you may have 598 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 10: taken out the leader and they say forty eight members 599 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 10: of leadership, but it's going to take some time. 600 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 3: Well, I mean because if you think about it, the 601 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 3: guy was eighty six, right, so they will have prepared 602 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 3: for some kind of transition of power because he might 603 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 3: have just not woken up one morning. So it's not 604 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 3: as if this is a total shock that he's dead. No, 605 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 3: really quickly, because they don't have a huge amount of time. 606 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:57,719 Speaker 3: But the change is the key. We say, do you 607 00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 3: like this? 608 00:29:58,600 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: Yeah? 609 00:29:58,800 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 3: I do. 610 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 10: I think it's realistic. I mean when you look at 611 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 10: people who have never owned a home yet they live 612 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 10: in say company defense diplomatic homes that are supplied by 613 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 10: their employers. Yeah, this will allow them to draw down 614 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 10: on key we savor for their first time. And I 615 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 10: think it's high time that was made law and it's going. 616 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 3: To be Yeah, totally, Barry, thank you very much. Good 617 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 3: luck with the computer tomorrow and good luck to the 618 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 3: rest of us very so for senior political correspondent.

This is the one that sank. Three naval 625 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 3: officers have now been charged with offenses, including one facing 626 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 3: a charge of negligently causing a ship to be lost. 627 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 3: You don't need me to tell you that is a 628 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 3: pretty serious charge to be laid. Four away from five. 629 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 3: The way Sam was mentioning earlier, Sam Emory, the Sky 630 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 3: News presenter Rita Panahi and her editorial on Iran. This 631 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 3: is her message to the Supreme Leader. 632 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 19: I want to conclude this editorial with this message to 633 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 19: the late Supreme Leader. Hidas sag hakpas sadded vessus to Jahanna. 634 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 20: Broan couldn't have put it better myself. 635 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 3: For translates to you, son of a bitch. Shame on 636 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 3: you burn and how so no question about how the 637 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 3: Iranians are feeling about the taking out of that that 638 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 3: particular bad guy. Anyway, obviously this is the news of 639 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 3: the day. So we will be kicking off the five 640 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 3: o'clock hour shortly with Perry Wilton, who is a New 641 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 3: Zealander based in Qatar. Give us a rundown of what 642 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 3: is happening there, all the retaliate retaliatory strikes and whatnot. 643 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,479 Speaker 3: Al galespi Waikatul University law professor is going to talk 644 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 3: us through after half past five basically has what the 645 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 3: implications are for the rule of law right, the rules 646 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 3: based order. Here's a text on it here that there's 647 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 3: no such thing as international law. There are treaties in agreements, 648 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 3: but not law. There is no global sovereign legislative mechanism. 649 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 3: Helen Clark should know this. WAB chat about that later 650 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 3: on because I think this is a reasonably significant part 651 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 3: of it. Tell you what over the weekend, just really quickly, 652 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 3: I've got a text from a friend who's on a 653 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 3: reasonable coin, absolutely raging, raging. I mean, look, it could 654 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 3: be the perimenopause, but raging at the company power profits 655 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 3: because they went up twelve percent last year. Consumer New 656 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 3: Zealand reckons they're going to go out five percent this year, 657 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 3: and of course they've just made had a bump of 658 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 3: profit season, but upgo the prices consistently. Obviously majority shareholder 659 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 3: and the Gen Taylors the listed ones is the government. 660 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 3: So we're going to talk to Nichola Williss about what 661 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 3: she's going to do about it, if anything. After six 662 00:32:42,280 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 3: News is next pressing. 663 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 2: The newsmakers to get the real story. 664 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 1: It's Heather Duplicyl and Drive with One New Zealand to 665 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 1: coverage like no one else News doorgs Heavy. 666 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 3: Afternoon. So the latest on the Iranian air strikes is 667 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 3: that the conflict has now widened. Israel and Lebanon are 668 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 3: exchanging fire, oil prices are up, and Donald Trump says 669 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 3: that he expects the war with Iran, which is dubbed 670 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 3: Epic Fury, to last four weeks. Perry Wilton is a 671 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 3: New Zealand based journalist who is based in Doha and 672 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 3: with US Now. Hi Perry, Hi, Heather, how are you. 673 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 3: I'm very well, thank you mate. What's the sentiment in Doha, 674 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 3: in the Middle the wider Middle East about this? 675 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 21: Well, I think as each day kind of grinds on, 676 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 21: this uncertainty deepens, you kind of have this feeling, you know, 677 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 21: that that Iran's retaliatory strikes after the US and Israel 678 00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 21: hit their capital really hard, have been wild. They haven't 679 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 21: been particularly focused going into this. Iran had said that 680 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,320 Speaker 21: they were going to be targeting mostly, you know, US bases, 681 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 21: US assets in the region, and there are assets in 682 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 21: a bunch of these gold countries surrounding Iran, and so 683 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 21: people were expecting most of those strikes to be targeting 684 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 21: US air bases, maybe US military infrastructure. But what you've 685 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:33,840 Speaker 21: what we've actually got is pretty sporadic waves of strikes 686 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:38,439 Speaker 21: from around that We've seen hit pretty much everything from 687 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 21: US military bases to residential apartment buildings. Qight Airport has 688 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,919 Speaker 21: been really badly damaged. So I think people here want 689 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 21: this to end and want this this uncertainty of what's 690 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 21: going to happen next, when the next strike is going 691 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 21: to hit, to close up. But yeah, as you said, 692 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 21: we're seeing this grow in its breadth pretty pretty quickly. 693 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,879 Speaker 21: I think Around has just hit Europe for the first time. 694 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 21: They've hit military assets, US military assets in Cyprus, so 695 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 21: there was this feeling initially that maybe this would be 696 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 21: a quick job, that the US would would go in 697 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 21: Venezuela style, try and take out the head and then 698 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 21: move on. But we've seen essentially as every hour goes by, 699 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 21: more people get involved, more Iranian allies. We've seen his 700 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:42,359 Speaker 21: Bala now firing into Israel and Israel firing back, as 701 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 21: he said, into Lebanon. So I think people here are 702 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 21: feeling not particularly optimistic that this is going to wrap 703 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,399 Speaker 21: up as fast as some people had said it might. 704 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 3: I mean, they've obviously tried to take out the head, 705 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 3: and they have, and they seem to have taken out 706 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 3: about forty of the heads. But how far do they 707 00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 3: have to go down, Like, how many people do they 708 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 3: have tonwke at the top in order to have this 709 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,359 Speaker 3: regime collapse realistically? 710 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 21: Well, I think it's fair to say that the Iranian 711 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 21: regime has been designed to do one thing, and that's 712 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 21: to keep itself in power. And it's done that through 713 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 21: creating the sprawling, deeply complex web of committees and councils 714 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 21: across Iran. The country has about ninety million people, and 715 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 21: to control that, you know, size of a country without 716 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,840 Speaker 21: its leader. The system has kind of this backup or 717 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,920 Speaker 21: this kind of temporary leadership council. So you know, the 718 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 21: second that Iatola was taken out, so to speak, we 719 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 21: saw this council that's made up of the president that's 720 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 21: Posesskian and the head of the Judiciary and others kind 721 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 21: of take over and handle daily affairs. And there are 722 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 21: all sorts of these other councils. Is this one called 723 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 21: the Assembly of Experts is it's got like eighty eight 724 00:36:56,120 --> 00:37:02,359 Speaker 21: members and that's been appointed a job to name a successor, 725 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 21: you know, as soon as possible. And they're in a 726 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:09,239 Speaker 21: variety of areas across Iran. It's not all just in 727 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,240 Speaker 21: one place. And so that's the that's the main question. 728 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,920 Speaker 21: How far does the US want to go? How far 729 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:21,280 Speaker 21: would it consider pushing these strikes to get to whatever 730 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 21: it would call a success. One could argue for you 731 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 21: know a lot of bodies being required to really take 732 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 21: out the so called regime, But I can't imagine, I 733 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 21: can't imagine what that might look like. 734 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, Perry, listen, thank you, I appreciated, and good luck 735 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 3: getting out of the country. Periri Wilton, journalists based in Katar, 736 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 3: who needs to get back to New Zealand for a 737 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 3: wedding this weekend, but of course can't fly out just 738 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:47,520 Speaker 3: at the minute. 739 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 2: Five twelve ever, duples Ellen. 740 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,359 Speaker 3: A last minute change to the RMA bill spells good 741 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,239 Speaker 3: news for developers but bad news for environmentalists. So the 742 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,840 Speaker 3: provision that's been discovered would allow local councils to approve 743 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 3: the telling of native or protected species, which is usually 744 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,880 Speaker 3: the job of Doc Chris Bishop is the minister in 745 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,760 Speaker 3: charge of this RMA reforming with us now, Hi Bush 746 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,799 Speaker 3: good astern So why did you want to take it 747 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 3: away from dock and give it to the councils. 748 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,360 Speaker 6: It's largely about the overlap, right, So you know, the 749 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 6: Wildlife Act is the thing that governs the management of 750 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 6: BirdLife and wildlife and that is essentially an environmental function 751 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 6: which we think should be bested out with under the 752 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,840 Speaker 6: Resource Management app We don't think it makes sense to 753 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,719 Speaker 6: have two regimes. And you know councils, regional councils in 754 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 6: particularly when it comes to the environment, they are the 755 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 6: administrator of environmental management within their areas. So this is 756 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 6: just about reducing red tape and regulatory overlap. 757 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 3: Okay, well, why are you going soft on the scene 758 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 3: because I see you saying, oh, look, it's just a 759 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 3: placeholder thing. It's not cemented in why go soft. 760 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,359 Speaker 6: Oh, it's because we've still got to do the policy work. 761 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 6: So what happened is, as we were doing the RMA, 762 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 6: which is like eight hundred pages, right, we worked out 763 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:57,959 Speaker 6: quite late in the piece that we think it would 764 00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,400 Speaker 6: be sensible to put the Wildlife Act approvals, which have 765 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 6: been a nightmare to Just bear in mind, the Wildlife 766 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 6: fact dates all the way back to nineteen fifty three, 767 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 6: so it's like eighty years out of date. So we 768 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 6: decided quite late in the process, look, let's just tuck 769 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 6: this into the new banning system and new Natural Environment system. 770 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 6: But we haven't actually fully fleshed out the policy work 771 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,359 Speaker 6: on it. So we've put it on the bill and 772 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,480 Speaker 6: that works underway now, and you know we'll be doing 773 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,359 Speaker 6: that through the Select committee process and then the rest 774 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,279 Speaker 6: of the parliamentary process. So no conspiracy here. We've just 775 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 6: got to you know, this is about making sure that 776 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 6: you know, we've got a streamline process for the approval 777 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 6: of these sorts of things. 778 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:33,640 Speaker 3: You've got a problem, by the way, on another subject, 779 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 3: you've got a problem with counsels holding up kying or 780 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 3: order bils. 781 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a massive issue. It's been quite interesting just 782 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,280 Speaker 6: over the last months or so. I've had some advice 783 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,720 Speaker 6: from I've had some advice from Coying or Aora for example, 784 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 6: that they're now facing quite big consenting problems out there 785 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,719 Speaker 6: with councils. Let me read you out some of these 786 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 6: things that councils have objected to from Cying a aeria 787 00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 6: which was a social housing development, for example. Here's one. 788 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 2: This is in Auckland. 789 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,839 Speaker 6: The council requested Kyl or a show how people will 790 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,720 Speaker 6: know where the units are by using signs on the property. 791 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 6: So that's a request for information that went back to 792 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 6: Kyl Aora and stopped the clock on the twenty working 793 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:17,360 Speaker 6: day for the consents we've got. This is in Hamilton. 794 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 6: Council has a requirement to include ev charging stations or 795 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,719 Speaker 6: other eco friendly features on the property to meet the 796 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 6: requirements of the new district plan. Here's because of the 797 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,880 Speaker 6: classic one. Council requested to use different colors in the 798 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,360 Speaker 6: landscaping plan because the color of the grass and the 799 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 6: concrete look too similar. These are all objections that councils 800 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,759 Speaker 6: have made to kind of aura development. This is social housing, right, 801 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,319 Speaker 6: this is housing for people in need, and you know 802 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 6: they got. 803 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,279 Speaker 3: Not fair enough. I can understand your frustration, but is 804 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 3: this council's basically trying to stop KO builds popping up 805 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,719 Speaker 3: in the middle of their cities and their towns. Is 806 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,080 Speaker 3: this what they're doing that frustrating it? 807 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:55,200 Speaker 16: No? 808 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,480 Speaker 6: But they do this to private developers too, right, So 809 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,160 Speaker 6: this is just because yep, absolutely, and I've got not 810 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,520 Speaker 6: multiple complaints from private developers too. It's just come across 811 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,560 Speaker 6: my desk because basically Kim always said to me Locke, 812 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,120 Speaker 6: we're having real problems with consenter and councils of giving 813 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 6: us a giving us a nightmare. And I said, okay, 814 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:13,920 Speaker 6: we'll give me some exa. I said, okay, fair enough, 815 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:15,840 Speaker 6: but give me some examples. So they've given me this 816 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 6: list of examples, and you know, it completely a course 817 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,360 Speaker 6: with what I hear from people out there trying to 818 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,239 Speaker 6: do private developments as well. This is a shocker. This 819 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,720 Speaker 6: is another reason why we need to change the RMA, 820 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,440 Speaker 6: that this stuff is legal and it's stopping development. 821 00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:30,279 Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. 822 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,600 Speaker 3: It's selfish.

I'm a large developer in Hamilton, 851 00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,239 Speaker 3: and I can tell you all of those examples that 852 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,600 Speaker 3: Chris Bishop used. We get all of the time, and 853 00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,799 Speaker 3: always on the nineteenth day of consenting. Nineteenth day is 854 00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:04,000 Speaker 3: very important because at nineteen you start the clock, don't you, 855 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:05,800 Speaker 3: and then you start the clock on twenty days. Anyway 856 00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,720 Speaker 3: you go, here's a list of examples for you. Council 857 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,759 Speaker 3: requested using a different color for the building because they 858 00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:15,680 Speaker 3: did not like the proposed look, so that's a thing. 859 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,919 Speaker 3: Council also requested that the exterior heat pump units should 860 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,839 Speaker 3: be hidden from view. Council have requested that Kayinger Order 861 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 3: choose a different color for the pipes on the building 862 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 3: as these are too prominent against the building color. Council's 863 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,320 Speaker 3: got a lot of thoughts on colors, yet, doesn't it 864 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,759 Speaker 3: council counsel might want to go and think about a 865 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,640 Speaker 3: job in interior or exterior designing given all of their 866 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,920 Speaker 3: thoughts on colors. There's more where that came from. Standby, 867 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 3: I've got some bad news first about chewing gum. Now, 868 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,160 Speaker 3: a lot of brands of gum may in fact be 869 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:45,400 Speaker 3: full of microplastics. Most commercial gum has a base ingredient 870 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:49,040 Speaker 3: that sometimes contains plastic polymers. One assie researcher said he 871 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,480 Speaker 3: wouldn't even let his kids chew it. That researcher is 872 00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,000 Speaker 3: Brian Oliver from the University of Technology in Sydney and. 873 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:54,360 Speaker 2: Is with us. 874 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,239 Speaker 8: Hi, Brian, Hi, how are you? 875 00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,000 Speaker 3: I'm very well, thank you. How bad is it? I mean, 876 00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,120 Speaker 3: like I can tolerate a little bit of microplastic, but 877 00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:01,279 Speaker 3: is it just chocker full of it? 878 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:06,920 Speaker 22: Well, look, there's lots of mitra particles of microplastic in it, 879 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:10,279 Speaker 22: which in the form of little particles. But the truth 880 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:11,799 Speaker 22: of the matter is we don't actually know how bad 881 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 22: it is, so I guess it's it's one of those 882 00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:17,160 Speaker 22: great unknowns as to what's what the risk would be 883 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:18,160 Speaker 22: in the long term. 884 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,759 Speaker 3: Is there are there any gum gum brands that are 885 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:21,480 Speaker 3: worse than others. 886 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,200 Speaker 22: From the research that's been done, there seems to be 887 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 22: a spectrum, and there's a bit of debate as to 888 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,520 Speaker 22: where the natural gum and agent who are artificial gum 889 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,239 Speaker 22: and agents are worse for you. But I think a 890 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,879 Speaker 22: lot of it then comes down to actually how much 891 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:39,879 Speaker 22: you chew it and then what happens when you chew, 892 00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,759 Speaker 22: So if you chew the gum and then you have 893 00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:44,719 Speaker 22: salive when you're swallow salive, but that's where the MITA 894 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:48,600 Speaker 22: particles are being introduced, So probably to the individual, it's 895 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:50,640 Speaker 22: quite variable as well. 896 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,120 Speaker 3: If we don't know how bad it is, what are 897 00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:53,800 Speaker 3: we worried about? 898 00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,080 Speaker 22: I guess for me it's the unknown. So what we 899 00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,480 Speaker 22: know is that if we give microcratic called microplastics to 900 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,360 Speaker 22: animals or we give them to cell culture models, it 901 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:09,120 Speaker 22: always induces inflammation, and inflammation sort of the precursor to 902 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:14,640 Speaker 22: a lot of chronic conditions, so diabetes, respiratory conditions. So 903 00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,360 Speaker 22: we know that the impetus is there. What we don't 904 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,879 Speaker 22: know is actually how much inflammation and exactly how bad 905 00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,080 Speaker 22: so I'm pretty certain it's bad. I just don't know 906 00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:23,520 Speaker 22: how bad. 907 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:26,960 Speaker 3: I love that. Thank you, Ryan are Run Oliver, professor 908 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:30,560 Speaker 3: at the University of Technology in Sydney. Council requested to 909 00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,240 Speaker 3: use different colors in the landscaping plan because the color 910 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,040 Speaker 3: of the grass and the concrete looked too similar. The 911 00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:39,560 Speaker 3: wastewater pipe runs through the neighbour's property. Council requested KO 912 00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,520 Speaker 3: to provide evidence that the neighbor will approve this access. 913 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,880 Speaker 3: Councils being a pain five two cutting through. 914 00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:49,320 Speaker 2: The noise to get the facts. 915 00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 1: It's heather duplicl and drive with one New Zealand coverage 916 00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 1: like no one else news dogs. 917 00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:56,759 Speaker 2: They'd be right. 918 00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:58,279 Speaker 3: The huddle is going to be there shortly. It's five 919 00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,319 Speaker 3: twenty five. Let's quickly talk about these Iranian strikes. I'll 920 00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,480 Speaker 3: tell you what worries me more. It's not the breakdown 921 00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,879 Speaker 3: and the rules based order because Trump has conducted an 922 00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,919 Speaker 3: illegal air strike without the blessing of the UN. It's 923 00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,359 Speaker 3: what happens next. I mean, this argument about the rules 924 00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,000 Speaker 3: based order breaking down is not I think as scary 925 00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,319 Speaker 3: or as effective as it may have been three four, 926 00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,359 Speaker 3: twelve years ago, because in that time We've seen what 927 00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,600 Speaker 3: little help these rules are for people. Putner next, crime 928 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,600 Speaker 3: here got away with it, invaded Ukraine, got away with it, 929 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,040 Speaker 3: is still getting away with it. Then harmas attacks on 930 00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 3: Israel happens. Nit Yahoo responds that conflict carries on and 931 00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:34,360 Speaker 3: kills children unstopped for years. There is a generation of 932 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:36,880 Speaker 3: young people right now who saw that happen, many of 933 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,799 Speaker 3: whom will have no confidence in the rules based order, 934 00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,280 Speaker 3: and who will agree with older generations that the Security 935 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 3: Council veto power is a structural problem and that without 936 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,360 Speaker 3: reform nothing can work. And who will agree with Canada's 937 00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:50,920 Speaker 3: Mark Karney that the old rules based system has broken 938 00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,160 Speaker 3: down already and you shouldn't warn it. So countering Trump's 939 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,440 Speaker 3: action over the weekend with that argument is going to 940 00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 3: convince very few people, I think. I think what is 941 00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,960 Speaker 3: more convincing and more worrying is what happens next, Not 942 00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,640 Speaker 3: just to Iran with the next lot who may take 943 00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,040 Speaker 3: over may in fact be worse, just like the Ayah 944 00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:10,799 Speaker 3: Tollas took over from the Shah and were worse, But 945 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:12,880 Speaker 3: what happens next to the Middle East with the bombs 946 00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:17,160 Speaker 3: hitting Dubai's International airport disrupting air travel through a global waypoint, 947 00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,000 Speaker 3: setting off Iran's proxies like Hisbulla and the Hooties. It 948 00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,120 Speaker 3: can cause their own versions of trouble and regularly do. 949 00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,640 Speaker 3: But then also for the wider world with inflation and war, 950 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,520 Speaker 3: nothing to celebrate for us and completely disruptive. Even if 951 00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:33,280 Speaker 3: you support these strikes, the idea that Trump has started 952 00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,879 Speaker 3: a chain reaction that he can't control or hasn't thought 953 00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,600 Speaker 3: through properly is more worrying than the breakdown of a 954 00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:41,480 Speaker 3: rules based order that very few of us still believe in. 955 00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,200 Speaker 2: Heather do for see Allen el Gilles. 956 00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,360 Speaker 3: Beyond that, he probably is going to disagree with me. 957 00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:48,520 Speaker 3: We'll chat to him after the news. Heither will you cover? 958 00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,440 Speaker 3: The Screen Actors Guild Awards some big surprises, including Timmy 959 00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,400 Speaker 3: Shalla May losing Best Actor to Michael B. Jordan and 960 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:58,200 Speaker 3: Amy Madigan picking up Best Supporting Actress for Weapons they 961 00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:01,120 Speaker 3: are on at the moment, I call the Actor Awards 962 00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:04,040 Speaker 3: twenty twenty six. Now. They're important because they're the final 963 00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,600 Speaker 3: awards ceremony before the Oscars, which happens in a couple 964 00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:09,000 Speaker 3: of weeks. And they've done the thing with the Red carpet. 965 00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,560 Speaker 3: So far, the best dressed is Jesse Buckley, who's awesome, 966 00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,719 Speaker 3: and Gwyneth Paltrow and Demi Moore. Timmy Shalla May turned 967 00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:18,080 Speaker 3: up with his mum. It was it is, do you 968 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,040 Speaker 3: know it restores It restores my faith in humanity to 969 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,719 Speaker 3: see actors turn up with their mums. Because he is 970 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,319 Speaker 3: just such a little hottie. He's got a little black 971 00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,040 Speaker 3: pants on as attle white tax. He's looking every bit 972 00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,440 Speaker 3: of the sex symbol. And then mum's standing next to him. 973 00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,479 Speaker 3: Like Karen who came from the Verbs, she hasn't even 974 00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,640 Speaker 3: ironed her pink frock. It's not an expensive pink frock 975 00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 3: is probably fifty dollars from the local store. She's got 976 00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,000 Speaker 3: clunky nude shoes on. I mean she's got like pretty 977 00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,160 Speaker 3: face like she's got Obviously she does look at him, 978 00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,560 Speaker 3: but you know, like it's isn't it nice when actors 979 00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:47,920 Speaker 3: bring out their mums and you go, oh, they're just 980 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,600 Speaker 3: normal humans. So yeah, I'll get you some more stuff 981 00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:50,880 Speaker 3: from that. 982 00:48:50,960 --> 00:49:07,919 Speaker 13: News is next, Hard Questions, Strong opinion, Heather Duplicy Ellen 983 00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,320 Speaker 13: Drive with One New Zealand and the power of satellite 984 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:12,239 Speaker 13: mobile news. 985 00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:12,880 Speaker 2: Dogs'd be. 986 00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,800 Speaker 3: I would expect now that the Marsden Point Oil Refinery 987 00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:26,680 Speaker 3: might become a thing again, given that we are now 988 00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:29,640 Speaker 3: more exposed to oil shocks than ever before since Meghan 989 00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,120 Speaker 3: would shut that thing down four years ago. Because this 990 00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,319 Speaker 3: was what we were warned about when we shut it down, 991 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,120 Speaker 3: was watch out if anything happens to the Strait of Homos, 992 00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,560 Speaker 3: because we get all our refined oil from Asia. Now 993 00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:41,439 Speaker 3: they are the largest buyers of oil from the Middle 994 00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:43,560 Speaker 3: East and it all comes through the Strait of Homos. 995 00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,560 Speaker 3: So we'll talk to Nicholawless about that after sixth huddle. 996 00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:48,959 Speaker 3: Standing by it's twenty four away from six now. There's 997 00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,520 Speaker 3: some debate about New Zealand's position on the US strikes 998 00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,600 Speaker 3: in Iran. It's been labeled to disgrace by former Prime 999 00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,799 Speaker 3: Minister Helen Clark because the official statement doesn't condemn the 1000 00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:00,160 Speaker 3: strikes outright, and Chris Lux and the Prime Minis there 1001 00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,600 Speaker 3: was reluctant to answer whether the United States acted illegally. 1002 00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,080 Speaker 9: The US and Israelis obviously made independent attacks, so we 1003 00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,680 Speaker 9: weren't informed about those beforehand, or an advance or any 1004 00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,040 Speaker 9: of that stuff. You know, they may well have information 1005 00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,719 Speaker 9: that has informed the legal basis for those attacks. 1006 00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,080 Speaker 3: Al Gillespie is a law professor at the University of 1007 00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,600 Speaker 3: Waikato and of course an international law expert, and with 1008 00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,960 Speaker 3: us hi Al, Hey, Heather, I mean it was illegal, 1009 00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:23,520 Speaker 3: wasn't it? 1010 00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,840 Speaker 5: And Dearie, Yeah, it's completely illegal. There's nothing in the 1011 00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,040 Speaker 5: u in Charter that says you can bomb someone who 1012 00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:33,440 Speaker 5: won't negotiate with you. You would need Security Council approval 1013 00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:36,120 Speaker 5: and that was not given him this instance. The exempt 1014 00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,080 Speaker 5: the exception to that as if it was a preemptive 1015 00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:40,800 Speaker 5: attack and it was an overwhelming necessity, and that cannot 1016 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:42,000 Speaker 5: be seen in this instance either. 1017 00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:44,080 Speaker 3: Do you agree with Helen Clark that it was a 1018 00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:45,480 Speaker 3: disgrace that we didn't say that. 1019 00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:51,040 Speaker 5: I wouldn't. It's complicated at the moment because even though 1020 00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,360 Speaker 5: you've got a theory of international law, the practice is 1021 00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,719 Speaker 5: that international law is in a very difficult place. And 1022 00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,040 Speaker 5: most of our foreign policy right now is not about 1023 00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,480 Speaker 5: our hold an international law but not offending mister Trump. 1024 00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,680 Speaker 5: And so what may be theoretically correct and what's politically 1025 00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:05,840 Speaker 5: correct for two different things. 1026 00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,080 Speaker 3: So would you, I mean, is this basically you agreeing 1027 00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:10,719 Speaker 3: that the rules based order has broken down? 1028 00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:11,879 Speaker 2: Oh? 1029 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:16,600 Speaker 5: Completely? But it's not ever well in history, it comes 1030 00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:18,279 Speaker 5: and it goes. But I mean, you have to look 1031 00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:20,719 Speaker 5: at what's going on with say climate change right now, 1032 00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:25,040 Speaker 5: or trade law, or Russia in Ukraine and everywhere you're 1033 00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,799 Speaker 5: seeing a collapse or nuclear arms control. A lot of 1034 00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:31,680 Speaker 5: those rules that have kept stability and sustainability working are 1035 00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:35,080 Speaker 5: currently being highly questioned. Normally, what happens do you have 1036 00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,439 Speaker 5: a calamity and then we rebuild, But right now we're 1037 00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,520 Speaker 5: on the wrong side of the slope. 1038 00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:43,200 Speaker 3: Now is what's your best prediction for what happens in 1039 00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:43,880 Speaker 3: the Middle East? 1040 00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:48,160 Speaker 5: Well, I think winning the air war and air power 1041 00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,799 Speaker 5: is simple, and I think that the technological superiority of 1042 00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:57,000 Speaker 5: America and Israel is easily superior, and they will defeat 1043 00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,279 Speaker 5: that part of the conflict within the next three or 1044 00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:02,839 Speaker 5: four weeks. Iran will run out of missiles or their 1045 00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,600 Speaker 5: launchers will just get taken out. That's the easy part. 1046 00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,000 Speaker 5: The hard part is the regime change that follows, because 1047 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,080 Speaker 5: you can't do that without putting boots on the ground. 1048 00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,839 Speaker 5: The likelihood of those who still want to retain the 1049 00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:17,360 Speaker 5: power that the Aatola had, maybe twenty percent of the 1050 00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,840 Speaker 5: population fighting hard, is strong, and they will fight external 1051 00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:24,000 Speaker 5: enemies and internal enemies, and at that point you might 1052 00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:26,680 Speaker 5: get pulled into the conflict to stop the bloodshed of 1053 00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:27,319 Speaker 5: the civil war. 1054 00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:29,840 Speaker 3: Do you reckon he can wrap it up in four weeks. 1055 00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,239 Speaker 5: I think he can wrap up the airpower part. But 1056 00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:35,560 Speaker 5: the hard part is what happens next, because if you 1057 00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,200 Speaker 5: look at our recent precedent, whether you look at Afghanistan, 1058 00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:41,560 Speaker 5: look at Libya, you look at Syria, you look at Iraq, 1059 00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:44,480 Speaker 5: you've got four failures. And yet that's exactly where we're 1060 00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:46,560 Speaker 5: going right now, with the population which is double the 1061 00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:48,160 Speaker 5: size of nearly ninety million people. 1062 00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,080 Speaker 3: And so is there any chance that it is i mean, 1063 00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:54,239 Speaker 3: remains contained to Iran's borders or does it spill over? 1064 00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:58,359 Speaker 5: Well, the military conflict will stay within the region, I mean, 1065 00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:00,880 Speaker 5: the good news is that Russia in China will not 1066 00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:03,439 Speaker 5: come to the defense of Iran. But you may face 1067 00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,359 Speaker 5: a humanitarian catastrophe. If the problem for Europe is not 1068 00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,280 Speaker 5: the bloodshed with an Iran, it's the refugee searcher that follows. 1069 00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:11,920 Speaker 5: And Europe's quite right now, He's got no appetite for 1070 00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:13,919 Speaker 5: more people. But if the civil war breaks out, which 1071 00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,759 Speaker 5: is quite possible, and there's a lot of indebtor in 1072 00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:18,200 Speaker 5: that part of the world where other people want to 1073 00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:21,120 Speaker 5: settle scores, then the surge of people crossing the border 1074 00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:22,319 Speaker 5: could be excessive. 1075 00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:24,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll you make a very good point. Thank you 1076 00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:26,520 Speaker 3: very much. Good to talk to you as always, Al Gillespie. 1077 00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:30,120 Speaker 3: Why couple university law professor, international law expert twenty away 1078 00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:30,680 Speaker 3: from six. 1079 00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:34,600 Speaker 1: The huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty a name 1080 00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:36,800 Speaker 1: you can trust locally and globally. 1081 00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,759 Speaker 3: On the huddle of this this evening we have Tris 1082 00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,359 Speaker 3: Sharson of Sheerson Willis pr and Joseph Beganni, the chief 1083 00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:45,160 Speaker 3: executive of Child Found. Hello you too, Hello Hello Trisian. 1084 00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:47,400 Speaker 3: You were nodding your head all the way through. Al Gillespie. 1085 00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:51,920 Speaker 23: Why because what has happened over the weekend is we 1086 00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:55,680 Speaker 23: have seen these tensions between the US and Iran shift 1087 00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:59,759 Speaker 23: from tensions in quotes to a full blown strategic risk. 1088 00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:04,200 Speaker 23: Touched on some of this also in your editorial. The 1089 00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:08,480 Speaker 23: question about whether this is legally right is an important one, 1090 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:11,640 Speaker 23: but that question has now gone. The question now is 1091 00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:15,400 Speaker 23: how ugly does this get and how quickly does it 1092 00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:19,560 Speaker 23: hit the world economy but also our markets. 1093 00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:19,839 Speaker 24: Here. 1094 00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:24,399 Speaker 23: So there's a couple of quick points. One, as Al 1095 00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:27,640 Speaker 23: just pointed out, this is regime changed logic, and that's 1096 00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,120 Speaker 23: where it gets expensive for the US because they do 1097 00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:32,759 Speaker 23: not have runs on the board in the examples that 1098 00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:36,480 Speaker 23: he just talked about. Even if you think that I 1099 00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:40,480 Speaker 23: Ran is bad, the method matters. So, Okay, they've gone 1100 00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:44,000 Speaker 23: in with the air strikes, but the deeply ingrained, deep 1101 00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:46,640 Speaker 23: state of Iraq, it's not going to be taken out 1102 00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:50,280 Speaker 23: by the air strikes. And then you've got this immediate 1103 00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:53,240 Speaker 23: economic shock. So just think about the New Zealand government 1104 00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,839 Speaker 23: in election year. They are going to have essentially a 1105 00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:00,920 Speaker 23: whacking petrol tax that is not going to help their cause. 1106 00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:04,280 Speaker 23: And I think where we're really fragile in New Zealand 1107 00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:08,520 Speaker 23: is fuel prices. As we've said, supply chains and insurance 1108 00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:12,840 Speaker 23: around shipping to get stuff here. We've got travel and 1109 00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:18,440 Speaker 23: consular risk, we've got our foreign policy posture and risk. Again, 1110 00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:21,920 Speaker 23: we're in luxin today. He's been forced into trying to 1111 00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,520 Speaker 23: kind of ride two horses. And we've also got our 1112 00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:29,600 Speaker 23: domestic resilience because we have a huge alliance on the 1113 00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,720 Speaker 23: oil and we have a huge alliance on the shipping lanes. 1114 00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:36,719 Speaker 23: Funnily enough, two weeks ago. This sounds weird, but I 1115 00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:39,359 Speaker 23: had a guy wander up my driveway who was one 1116 00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:42,080 Speaker 23: of the Golden Visa people coming here looking at New 1117 00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:45,320 Speaker 23: Zealand's business. He's an energy expert and he said to me, 1118 00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,920 Speaker 23: I cannot believe that New Zealand got rid of its 1119 00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:52,200 Speaker 23: Marsden Point oil all right, way, I just mentioned that exactly. 1120 00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:55,040 Speaker 23: That's what reminded me to say about this guy. He 1121 00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:59,960 Speaker 23: just from an energy resilience perspective, it blew his mind 1122 00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,280 Speaker 23: mind that we would leave ourselves that exposed. 1123 00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:03,840 Speaker 3: Well, did you say to him it was Meghan Woods. 1124 00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,080 Speaker 3: Many things that Megan Woods did would have blown your mind. 1125 00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:07,719 Speaker 23: He also was not a fan of the aill And 1126 00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:11,160 Speaker 23: Gas band, but by surprise. So this is a big 1127 00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:13,239 Speaker 23: deal for the world, but it's a big deal from 1128 00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,239 Speaker 23: for New Zealand. And let's remember the world's economy has 1129 00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,760 Speaker 23: not recovered yet from the shocks of COVID. 1130 00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:25,240 Speaker 25: Josie, Yeah, I think the international law that does matter, 1131 00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:27,920 Speaker 25: and I'll tell you why. It's we've just signed a 1132 00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:30,600 Speaker 25: trade deal with India. That's a good thing. That is 1133 00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:32,960 Speaker 25: a piece of international law. Every time you get on 1134 00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,400 Speaker 25: an aircraft. That's a piece of international law that the 1135 00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:38,520 Speaker 25: plane lands and takes off in the right way. Your 1136 00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:41,359 Speaker 25: passport is a piece of international law. So international law 1137 00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:44,600 Speaker 25: does matter. And what you're seeing with the disregard for 1138 00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:46,919 Speaker 25: borders and some of the things that you listed, Heather 1139 00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:50,440 Speaker 25: were absolutely right. You know, u n has completely failed. 1140 00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:54,520 Speaker 25: So the mechanisms of international law likely Yuanna failed to 1141 00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:56,880 Speaker 25: stop a war in Ukraine, stop a war in Gaza. 1142 00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:01,120 Speaker 25: But the implications of ignoring borders Trump has done with 1143 00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,239 Speaker 25: Ukraine where he's gone, well that Russia wants a bit 1144 00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:05,520 Speaker 25: of it, let them have it. Then you get this 1145 00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:10,320 Speaker 25: metastasizing problem where you've got Pakistan and Afghanistan chucking bombs 1146 00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:13,200 Speaker 25: at each other now because if one border doesn't matter, 1147 00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:16,840 Speaker 25: none of them matter. Eritrea, Ethiopia and so on. So 1148 00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:20,919 Speaker 25: you break international law and you do unleash some kind 1149 00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:24,760 Speaker 25: of hell. And the thing that really depresses me is 1150 00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:27,720 Speaker 25: that international law does have muscle if you let it. 1151 00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:31,440 Speaker 25: So there's a piece of international law called responsibility to protect. 1152 00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:35,200 Speaker 25: It came in after the Rwandan genocide. Now that piece 1153 00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:38,760 Speaker 25: of legislation or that piece of international law could have 1154 00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,560 Speaker 25: been used in Syria when they crossed the red line 1155 00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:44,760 Speaker 25: and drop the government dropped chemical bombs on its citizens. 1156 00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:48,520 Speaker 25: Could have gone in there to protect people citizens against 1157 00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:52,040 Speaker 25: its own government. This could have been used. Responsibility to 1158 00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:55,880 Speaker 25: protect could have been used when Jomeni and the Iotolas 1159 00:57:56,160 --> 00:58:00,400 Speaker 25: were killing Uranian citizens only a few weeks ago. So 1160 00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:04,520 Speaker 25: you know, there is international law mechanisms. Sometimes when it fails, 1161 00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,320 Speaker 25: it's because you haven't got the guts and we haven't 1162 00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:10,400 Speaker 25: got the guts to use those mechanisms. And the problem 1163 00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:12,760 Speaker 25: with this is that Trump is not going into around 1164 00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:15,760 Speaker 25: now to help those protests. I mean, I don't He's 1165 00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:17,200 Speaker 25: not been clear why he's going in. 1166 00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:21,160 Speaker 23: Well, I think the fundamental principle of international law and 1167 00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:24,760 Speaker 23: certainly we're not claim to be an expert, but that's 1168 00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:28,920 Speaker 23: worrying with Trump and Venezuela, Trump and Iran is actually 1169 00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:32,760 Speaker 23: the recognition of sovereign states. And as soon as you 1170 00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:36,200 Speaker 23: stop doesn't matter how bad you think that re regimers. 1171 00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:38,760 Speaker 23: As soon as you cross the line, and sovereign states 1172 00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:42,400 Speaker 23: are no longer sovereign states, everyone and everything is up 1173 00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:42,760 Speaker 23: for grabs. 1174 00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:44,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a fair point. All right, we'll take a 1175 00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:47,040 Speaker 3: break that you guys come back shortly. Call to two the. 1176 00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:51,080 Speaker 1: Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty, the only truly 1177 00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:52,080 Speaker 1: global brand. 1178 00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,360 Speaker 3: Right, we're back of the huddle, Joseph Ghani and Tricius. 1179 00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:56,360 Speaker 3: And I should say, Joseph, you're and tongue at the moment, 1180 00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:56,760 Speaker 3: aren't you. 1181 00:58:57,720 --> 00:58:59,760 Speaker 25: I am in Tonga. Yeah, we've just got the tail 1182 00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:04,160 Speaker 25: end of that cyclone that hit Vanuatu and Fiji. But 1183 00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:07,919 Speaker 25: yes it's poor and pouring with rain and windy as hell, 1184 00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:11,240 Speaker 25: but it's lovely to be And Thomas, I'm working. 1185 00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:13,360 Speaker 3: Is it weird for you to sit in Tonga and 1186 00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,880 Speaker 3: then answer questions about where the councils in New Zealand 1187 00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:17,640 Speaker 3: should be able to sign off on the killing of 1188 00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:20,240 Speaker 3: native beasts? 1189 00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:22,800 Speaker 25: Almost as weird as it is to talk about bombing 1190 00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:24,800 Speaker 25: and Iran, Although I have to say I've been in 1191 00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:26,960 Speaker 25: a few cafes and that's all we've been talking about. 1192 00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:30,800 Speaker 25: So yeah, the Pacific's used to being in the spotlight, right, Yeah, 1193 00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:34,800 Speaker 25: so councils the problem with this, Look, who knows. I 1194 00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:36,320 Speaker 25: don't know whether it should be dark or whether it 1195 00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:40,280 Speaker 25: should be counsels. I do know though, that the sort 1196 00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:44,120 Speaker 25: of pro the protectors, the sort of anti growths who 1197 00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:47,840 Speaker 25: don't want anything built. They just go too far, you know, 1198 00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:52,920 Speaker 25: they save every single spider and snail and fly and whatever, 1199 00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:55,480 Speaker 25: so that in the end just nothing gets done. And 1200 00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:58,760 Speaker 25: I do think this is quite a split politically, not 1201 00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:02,560 Speaker 25: so much left and right, but pro growth and anti growth. 1202 01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:05,760 Speaker 25: So you've got degrosss on both sides. Right on the right, 1203 01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:10,160 Speaker 25: you've got people who hate housing intensification in Auckland and 1204 01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:13,760 Speaker 25: the last who want to save every snail species that 1205 01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:18,320 Speaker 25: ever existed. And also you've got pro development on both sides, 1206 01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:21,520 Speaker 25: national and labors. So I do think it's quite It 1207 01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:23,800 Speaker 25: could be quite an election issue, this kind of thing. 1208 01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:24,640 Speaker 3: What do you reckon? 1209 01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,240 Speaker 23: Well, I thought it was kind of funny. I was 1210 01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:31,200 Speaker 23: actually laughing out loud, thinking that there's criticizing councils for 1211 01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:34,360 Speaker 23: their ridiculous stuff about Coangora and what you can do 1212 01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:37,320 Speaker 23: in that. But on the other hand he's saying, yeah, 1213 01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,560 Speaker 23: but it's called let them predict the Kiwi. I mean, 1214 01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:43,920 Speaker 23: it just struck me as ridiculous. I mean, I think Josie's. 1215 01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:44,320 Speaker 3: Got to the heart of it. 1216 01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:48,520 Speaker 23: This isn't a planning reform question. It's really a governance 1217 01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:52,440 Speaker 23: question of who looks after this. My concern would of 1218 01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:55,400 Speaker 23: this would be if you've got national species, i e. 1219 01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:59,480 Speaker 23: The Kiwi, we should have national rules for their protection. 1220 01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:01,360 Speaker 23: And if we get down to councils, we're going to 1221 01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:05,240 Speaker 23: get are we going to get postcode conservation? And lord 1222 01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:08,919 Speaker 23: knows councils aren't. You know, don't have a great track 1223 01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:11,600 Speaker 23: record at the moment, So I do feel a bit 1224 01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:15,360 Speaker 23: nervous about it. What I think may also happen, which 1225 01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:18,240 Speaker 23: isn't great on the pro growth side, is you're actually 1226 01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:21,640 Speaker 23: going to end up with more lets litigation, not less, 1227 01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:25,480 Speaker 23: because there will be huge disputes over well, one council 1228 01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:28,080 Speaker 23: allowed here, I'm not allowed to do it over here, 1229 01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:30,680 Speaker 23: and so it might end up in more red tape 1230 01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:31,880 Speaker 23: could well do you know? 1231 01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:34,200 Speaker 25: The one point on this that I think that would 1232 01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:36,440 Speaker 25: make it would make sense is why don't they Why 1233 01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:39,760 Speaker 25: don't we just increase the predator free zones that we 1234 01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:42,040 Speaker 25: have which actually work really well. We've got one on 1235 01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:45,320 Speaker 25: cup of the Island. So if you expand those zones 1236 01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,240 Speaker 25: and do what you were just saying, Trish, where you 1237 01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:49,600 Speaker 25: go right, Kiwi matters. We've got to protect the Kiwi, 1238 01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:52,400 Speaker 25: but not this sort of thing where dot can say 1239 01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:57,280 Speaker 25: whatever insect or ant or whatever has to be protected 1240 01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:00,360 Speaker 25: at this because the problem is you've got no consoleation 1241 01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:04,240 Speaker 25: with the people who won't have those seven hundred jobs 1242 01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:07,800 Speaker 25: that might have been created with a development project or something, 1243 01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:10,560 Speaker 25: So you end up consulting with the people who, of 1244 01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:13,200 Speaker 25: course are going to disagree with any development, rather than 1245 01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:14,440 Speaker 25: people who will benefit from you. 1246 01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:16,640 Speaker 3: True, right, do you choose chewing gum? 1247 01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,720 Speaker 23: Trus I? As a kid, I loved chewing gum, juicy 1248 01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:23,920 Speaker 23: fruit and doublement. You know, you get the long strips. 1249 01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:26,680 Speaker 23: I like the strip of gum in the foil, you know, 1250 01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:30,720 Speaker 23: all those ones, those ones. But funnily enough, I don't 1251 01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:32,280 Speaker 23: chew chewing gum anymore. 1252 01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:34,280 Speaker 3: I grew out of it. I grew out of it. 1253 01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:37,080 Speaker 23: But also because I don't like the thought of chewing 1254 01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:42,080 Speaker 23: essentially a petroleum based yeah thing. I'm just not really 1255 01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:43,040 Speaker 23: into that, So I. 1256 01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:45,120 Speaker 3: Got out of it as well. Josie, it felt like 1257 01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:48,720 Speaker 3: a natteralie, pointless exercise. There's no upside in chewing gum, 1258 01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:49,320 Speaker 3: what about you? 1259 01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:50,320 Speaker 16: Yeah? 1260 01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:52,120 Speaker 25: Yeah, me too. And I used to like the little 1261 01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:54,720 Speaker 25: foil stuff, but now it's like chewing car tires. Apparent 1262 01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:56,960 Speaker 25: it's the same sort of plastic. But also I look 1263 01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:59,520 Speaker 25: at this and I go really like bonds are dropping. 1264 01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,920 Speaker 25: There's always things happening in the world. You know, It's like, 1265 01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:05,760 Speaker 25: for goodness sake, is it safe or not safe. If 1266 01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:07,880 Speaker 25: it's not safe, regulate it and don't sell it. 1267 01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:11,800 Speaker 3: Don't regulate it. God, you can really adult by yourself. 1268 01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:13,440 Speaker 23: Can I just say? I think the bigger issue with 1269 01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:15,960 Speaker 23: chewing gum these days is that, you know, there was 1270 01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:18,000 Speaker 23: that old song to the chewing gum lose its flavor 1271 01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,960 Speaker 23: on the bed post overnight. Well within about five six 1272 01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:23,640 Speaker 23: now of putting in a piece of gum, it's gone so. 1273 01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:25,000 Speaker 3: Fixed the flavor. 1274 01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:28,040 Speaker 25: Its not like it was. 1275 01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:28,400 Speaker 2: All right. 1276 01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:31,280 Speaker 3: Enjoy Tongua, stay safe.

When to keep it alive? 1289 01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:04,040 Speaker 3: Hither do you think that the war in Iran is 1290 01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:06,120 Speaker 3: to try to restrict oil to China? I guess you 1291 01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:09,480 Speaker 3: could say the same about Venezuela. Gary. I'm so glad 1292 01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:12,560 Speaker 3: you asked. Yes, it is. Of course it is. I 1293 01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:14,640 Speaker 3: think all roads lead to China on this one. You 1294 01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:16,320 Speaker 3: can think that one through. Maybe we'll talk about it 1295 01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:18,200 Speaker 3: at a later day because right now I need to 1296 01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:20,560 Speaker 3: tell you about the Actor Awards.

Jordan's Sinners, which 1298 01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:27,240 Speaker 3: is a surprise because everybody thought to me Chalameau was 1299 01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:29,400 Speaker 3: going to win for Marty Supreme. Now it has been 1300 01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:32,240 Speaker 3: pointed out to me that the nomin that the voting 1301 01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:35,120 Speaker 3: closed on this four days after Michael B.

They invoked self defense 1341 01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:30,640 Speaker 11: under the UN Charter, and New Zealand simply isn't privy 1342 01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:33,280 Speaker 11: to the information they have used to make that claim, 1343 01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:35,480 Speaker 11: So we're not in a position right now to make 1344 01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:36,080 Speaker 11: that accessibly. 1345 01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:38,040 Speaker 3: So if it was, if it was a legal air 1346 01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:41,200 Speaker 3: strike as opposed to an illegal one, we would support it. 1347 01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:47,160 Speaker 11: Well, look, that's a hypothetical question when we're actually what 1348 01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:51,000 Speaker 11: we're looking at is action that is underway, and our 1349 01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:55,080 Speaker 11: position has been for a long time that Iran obtaining 1350 01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:57,440 Speaker 11: a nuclear weapon is not something we want to happen. 1351 01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:00,520 Speaker 11: We do not want to see them threatening in national 1352 01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:04,240 Speaker 11: peace and security, backing terrorists in the Middle East. Those 1353 01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:06,920 Speaker 11: are all things that we have condemned. We've condemned the 1354 01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:10,280 Speaker 11: regime that oppresses its own people. So whether or not 1355 01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:14,560 Speaker 11: this strike is legal or not will be determined in 1356 01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:17,080 Speaker 11: due course, and we're not in a position to determine. 1357 01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:17,280 Speaker 2: That right now. 1358 01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:19,240 Speaker 3: I mean, in the scheme of things, this is probably 1359 01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:21,800 Speaker 3: going to be inconsequential, and probably already as inconsequential. But 1360 01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:24,280 Speaker 3: I wouldn't mind understanding what's going on here because this 1361 01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:27,200 Speaker 3: morning the Prime Minister basically said we support the strikes 1362 01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:30,080 Speaker 3: because our position is the same as Australia's, which support 1363 01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:32,720 Speaker 3: the strikes, and then about five hours later David Seymore 1364 01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:36,560 Speaker 3: says we don't take a position. So what happened, Well, 1365 01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:36,920 Speaker 3: if you. 1366 01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:41,320 Speaker 11: Read the Australian statement, it's actually quite carefully worded. What 1367 01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:47,720 Speaker 11: they've talked about is supporting actions that are aimed at 1368 01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:50,320 Speaker 11: the legitimacy of the Iranian regime, and that that's been 1369 01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:52,920 Speaker 11: their long standing position. They haven't actually commented on this 1370 01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:58,200 Speaker 11: specific action and the legality of it in some sense. Heither, 1371 01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:01,240 Speaker 11: I think there's a little ament of reflection I've had, 1372 01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:04,800 Speaker 11: which is, does anyone really think that New Zealand's position 1373 01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:06,760 Speaker 11: on the legality of the strikes right now is going 1374 01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:08,480 Speaker 11: to change anything happening in the Middle East? 1375 01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:08,760 Speaker 16: No? 1376 01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:10,440 Speaker 3: Thank god you said it, because I don't think so. 1377 01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:13,960 Speaker 3: Does this make us you have to rethink the Marsden 1378 01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:15,160 Speaker 3: Point oil refinery? 1379 01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:19,840 Speaker 11: No, of course, the Marsden Point Oil Refinery had to 1380 01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:23,559 Speaker 11: import the oil to begin with to refine, and actually 1381 01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:27,000 Speaker 11: last year the government made changes to regulations which mean 1382 01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:29,200 Speaker 11: that fuel supplies and New Zealand have to keep twenty 1383 01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:33,360 Speaker 11: eight days worth of fuel on supply, so we do 1384 01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:34,479 Speaker 11: have resilience there. 1385 01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:37,320 Speaker 3: Okay. Now on the key we save a change is 1386 01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:39,840 Speaker 3: how many farmers and diplomats and soldiers and clergymen do 1387 01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:41,000 Speaker 3: you think will benefit from this? 1388 01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:45,240 Speaker 11: Well, it's difficult to estimate, but hundreds, if not thousands. 1389 01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:48,280 Speaker 11: We know that there are around forty thousand farms in 1390 01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:51,439 Speaker 11: New Zealand. Many of them have a worker or two 1391 01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:54,160 Speaker 11: who are required to live on farm to do their job. 1392 01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:57,000 Speaker 11: And we also know that across government, across the health system, 1393 01:08:57,120 --> 01:09:01,280 Speaker 11: teaches the defense force. We have hundreds of rural workers 1394 01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:03,479 Speaker 11: who have to live in a home near to where 1395 01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:07,000 Speaker 11: they're doing their job. So many of those people have 1396 01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:10,400 Speaker 11: said to us, Look, it's not really fair that I 1397 01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:12,719 Speaker 11: can't use key we Savor to get on the property matter. 1398 01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:16,040 Speaker 11: I'm locked out of this scheme. If you fix it, 1399 01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:18,200 Speaker 11: then I'll be more likely to take part in Key 1400 01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:18,639 Speaker 11: we Savor. 1401 01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:21,559 Speaker 3: The only question that I really have about this is 1402 01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:24,320 Speaker 3: if Todd McClay, which he did, he committed to doing 1403 01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:26,240 Speaker 3: this before the last election, and if it's an easy 1404 01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:28,320 Speaker 3: fix and the no brainer, why has it taken so long. 1405 01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:33,840 Speaker 11: Well, we looked at the proposal, we took it through 1406 01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:36,320 Speaker 11: its paces. We've been a pretty busy government. We've been 1407 01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:38,280 Speaker 11: doing lots of stuff, and we're ticking through the list 1408 01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:40,759 Speaker 11: and this is I think number three on the list 1409 01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:43,640 Speaker 11: of things that the Federated Pharmacy were really important for 1410 01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:46,559 Speaker 11: rural communities. So I'm glad we're making progress on it. 1411 01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:49,040 Speaker 3: How do you feel about power companies putting up their 1412 01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:51,320 Speaker 3: prices at the same time as making bumper profits. 1413 01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:55,080 Speaker 11: Well, I think I feel that the way all New 1414 01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:58,400 Speaker 11: Zealanders do, which is we want to see more affordable electricity. 1415 01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:01,840 Speaker 11: I think it's all so the case that you do 1416 01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:05,320 Speaker 11: see power companies profits rise and fall a little bit 1417 01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:08,679 Speaker 11: depending on weather and other conditions. You know, you saw Meridian, 1418 01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:13,720 Speaker 11: for example, made a significant loss last year, although they're 1419 01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:17,000 Speaker 11: at forecast to make profits this year, so it does vary. 1420 01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:19,719 Speaker 11: What we do want to see is those energy companies 1421 01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:24,080 Speaker 11: investing in more electricity generation because that's what will lead 1422 01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:27,360 Speaker 11: to more affordability and safety in the future. And when 1423 01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:29,720 Speaker 11: they are running well, they are able to make those 1424 01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:32,719 Speaker 11: big investments in those assets, and we're seeing that from energy. 1425 01:10:32,479 --> 01:10:34,760 Speaker 3: Comp There's an argument though, that you could ask them 1426 01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:37,280 Speaker 3: to reduce the dividends they pay, which are quite high, 1427 01:10:37,439 --> 01:10:39,280 Speaker 3: in order for them to pump some of that back 1428 01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:40,919 Speaker 3: into reducing power prices. 1429 01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:44,719 Speaker 11: Yeah, I've heard that point. Let's just be really clear, though, 1430 01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:47,920 Speaker 11: those hundreds of millions of dollars that we get in 1431 01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:50,960 Speaker 11: a dividend that's New Zealand taxpayers who own a share 1432 01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:54,080 Speaker 11: of these energy companies. Those dollars go straight into our 1433 01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:57,559 Speaker 11: budget for the health system, for the education system, for 1434 01:10:57,600 --> 01:10:59,760 Speaker 11: the police, and so if we were to take them 1435 01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:02,280 Speaker 11: one away from there, we'd have to find it somewhere else. 1436 01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:05,640 Speaker 11: So you know, the money that we use to put 1437 01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:09,160 Speaker 11: into schools and hospitals isn't just funded by your personal 1438 01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:12,560 Speaker 11: income tax. It's also funded by other sources of government revenue. 1439 01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:14,320 Speaker 3: What do you make of the Reserve Bank with there's 1440 01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:16,559 Speaker 3: some changes that they want to make for retail banks 1441 01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:18,880 Speaker 3: to set up all these ATMs and cash services around 1442 01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:19,400 Speaker 3: the country. 1443 01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:23,439 Speaker 11: Well, look, I think keeping cash in the economy is 1444 01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:27,360 Speaker 11: really important. We needed after emergencies. We saw that after Cyclone. 1445 01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:29,840 Speaker 11: Gabrielle and I think many New Zealanders have a fair 1446 01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:32,800 Speaker 11: expectation that they'll be able to use cash. But how 1447 01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:36,920 Speaker 11: we ensure it's available that's a question. The Reserve Bank 1448 01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:38,920 Speaker 11: is now consulting with banks on it. Of course, I 1449 01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:40,400 Speaker 11: want to see it being done in a way that's 1450 01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:44,280 Speaker 11: practical and it's affordable, and I've asked the Reserve Bank 1451 01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:46,920 Speaker 11: and the banks to keep the discussions going, to have 1452 01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:49,400 Speaker 11: a proper consultation and come up with something practical. 1453 01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:52,600 Speaker 3: Isn't the problem here though, It seems to be the 1454 01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:55,200 Speaker 3: reason that people that there aren't these cash services in 1455 01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:57,920 Speaker 3: various communities is because not enough people are using it 1456 01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:01,479 Speaker 3: right So if they are forced to reopen those cash services, 1457 01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:03,240 Speaker 3: the rest of us are going to be subsidizing like 1458 01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:05,120 Speaker 3: a couple of people to be able to get their 1459 01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:06,920 Speaker 3: hands on cash. Is that a good idea? 1460 01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:10,360 Speaker 11: Well, look, when you look across the country, there are 1461 01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:14,280 Speaker 11: some places where there can be real gaps and if 1462 01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:16,200 Speaker 11: you're living in a community where you have to travel 1463 01:12:16,240 --> 01:12:18,600 Speaker 11: a long way to be able to access cash, that 1464 01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:21,120 Speaker 11: could be a problem. But that doesn't mean we need 1465 01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:24,200 Speaker 11: to have an ATM on every driveway. It's about having 1466 01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:26,800 Speaker 11: good regional coverage. And I guess the other side of 1467 01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:29,439 Speaker 11: it is, you know, when there is a cyclone or 1468 01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:31,559 Speaker 11: a big weather event, people often want to be able 1469 01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:33,439 Speaker 11: to use cash and we need to have the facility 1470 01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:36,120 Speaker 11: so that they can. So it's about our resilience. It's 1471 01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:39,200 Speaker 11: about our ability to cope with different things that can happen. 1472 01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:40,479 Speaker 3: Right, what are you going to do about any in 1473 01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:41,080 Speaker 3: New Zealand? 1474 01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:46,200 Speaker 11: Well, look, I share the Prime Minister's view and he's 1475 01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:49,679 Speaker 11: obviously more experienced and running airlines than I am, which 1476 01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:52,160 Speaker 11: is we want to see their performance improve. You know, 1477 01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:54,840 Speaker 11: we don't like seeing them making a loss when other 1478 01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:58,200 Speaker 11: airlines around the world seem to be making a profit. 1479 01:12:58,240 --> 01:12:59,880 Speaker 11: We want to see them running on time. We want 1480 01:12:59,920 --> 01:13:03,760 Speaker 11: to see them pricing the affairs while having good schedules, 1481 01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:06,720 Speaker 11: and so you know, I welcome the chair and the 1482 01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:10,280 Speaker 11: chief executive saying that they're having a strategic reset. That 1483 01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:11,800 Speaker 11: seems the right thing to be doing. 1484 01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:13,840 Speaker 3: Does it need a little board shake up because it 1485 01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:15,840 Speaker 3: seems the board is the only consistent thing here. 1486 01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:19,960 Speaker 11: Well, I think the boarder very focused on turning around 1487 01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:23,000 Speaker 11: their performance, and so that's what we monitor them on 1488 01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:25,920 Speaker 11: are you asking for more? What are you doing to 1489 01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:28,599 Speaker 11: achieve that? And of course we'll keep watching that closely 1490 01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:32,200 Speaker 11: because they govern that board again on behalf of the 1491 01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:36,360 Speaker 11: many New Zealand taxpayers who own half of that company. 1492 01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:39,280 Speaker 3: Nichola, thank you has always appreciated as Nikola will Is 1493 01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:40,160 Speaker 3: the Finance Minister. 1494 01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:45,200 Speaker 1: Quarter past six, It's the Heather Duplessy Allen Drive Full 1495 01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:49,080 Speaker 1: Show podcast on my Heart Radio empowered by Newstalk ZBI. 1496 01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:54,719 Speaker 1: Approaching the numbers and getting the results. It's Heather Duplessy 1497 01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:58,560 Speaker 1: Allen on the Business Hour with maths, insurance and investments, 1498 01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:01,360 Speaker 1: your futures in good news talks. 1499 01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:02,160 Speaker 2: That'd be the. 1500 01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:04,200 Speaker 3: Cash is King. I speak from experience that backs up 1501 01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:06,479 Speaker 3: Nicholau Willis's view on this. Keep it available always the 1502 01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:10,120 Speaker 3: absolute panic that goes down when things go down is underestimated. Listen, 1503 01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:12,519 Speaker 3: there are claims that people close to Donald Trump have 1504 01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:15,680 Speaker 3: made more than a million dollars US betting on the 1505 01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:19,800 Speaker 3: Iranian air strikes. So analysts reckon they saw six suspected 1506 01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:23,840 Speaker 3: insiders who went on polymarket and bet yes to air 1507 01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:27,519 Speaker 3: strikes specifically for February twenty eight and did that only 1508 01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:30,160 Speaker 3: twenty four hours before it happened, and then made one 1509 01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:32,120 Speaker 3: point two million dollars. Now, if this is true, it's 1510 01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:34,559 Speaker 3: the second time it's allegedly happened, because the last time 1511 01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:37,040 Speaker 3: it happened was with Venezuela eighteen past six. 1512 01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:39,360 Speaker 2: Idgether Do for Sea L James. 1513 01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:42,840 Speaker 3: Solly Harbor Asset Management is with US high Shane, Mate, 1514 01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:44,240 Speaker 3: how have the markets reacted to this? 1515 01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:47,240 Speaker 24: It's been a roll Okay, so we're early on we 1516 01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:49,920 Speaker 24: saw a risk of move, so people were unwilling to 1517 01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:53,760 Speaker 24: take it on risk in reaction to what's sppping over 1518 01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:56,240 Speaker 24: the weekend. Then around two o'clock in his on time, 1519 01:14:56,439 --> 01:15:00,320 Speaker 24: we had a rumor that around security Claren Jowney, He's 1520 01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:03,759 Speaker 24: reportitive announced that AURUN was seeking nuclear talks with the viewers. 1521 01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:06,480 Speaker 24: President Trump said that's nice. We're open to being pragmatic 1522 01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:09,679 Speaker 24: with or any the sanctions. And then about five o'clock 1523 01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:11,519 Speaker 24: he is on time Laren Janey said, no, that's wrong. 1524 01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:14,760 Speaker 24: Before they wrong, our own is not heading exactly. Yeah, 1525 01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:16,960 Speaker 24: we sort of rollercase the oil price. That probably the 1526 01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:19,519 Speaker 24: key one. The Brent crude price up four dollars fifty, 1527 01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:22,719 Speaker 24: which is about six percent up to seventy seven dollars 1528 01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:25,840 Speaker 24: fifty a barrel that can BEUS with its twelve month 1529 01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:28,200 Speaker 24: average has been around sixty six sixty seven five year 1530 01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:31,000 Speaker 24: average eighty bucks, so you know, we have seen a 1531 01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:34,760 Speaker 24: bit of a price increase. The OPIQ plus of come 1532 01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:36,479 Speaker 24: out and said they're going to pump to helpful a 1533 01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:39,680 Speaker 24: gap goal price up one point three percent, sixty eight 1534 01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:43,680 Speaker 24: bucks to five three four sevens five forty seven dollars 1535 01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:47,200 Speaker 24: an ounce with people them for safety. Interesting one whither 1536 01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:51,120 Speaker 24: is the US hear market. It's obviously open open tonight, 1537 01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:53,400 Speaker 24: so it's not open yet, but the futures are picking 1538 01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:55,599 Speaker 24: the mark. We'll be down around zero point nine er percent, 1539 01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:58,519 Speaker 24: just under one percent. Market was pretty weak last week 1540 01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:02,360 Speaker 24: on the basis people were about a risk credit rests 1541 01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:05,640 Speaker 24: and then potential Iranian military conflicts. So maybe some of 1542 01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:08,680 Speaker 24: the people you were just talking about earlier on and 1543 01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:13,200 Speaker 24: certainly locally, we've seen our interest rates rather the stable 1544 01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:15,160 Speaker 24: and designed door a little bit down to fifty nine 1545 01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:17,720 Speaker 24: to seventy four against the US mark it down half 1546 01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:20,719 Speaker 24: a percent, but a weakness and earboss main fort contact. 1547 01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:22,479 Speaker 24: So yet, Roll of Caster, do. 1548 01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:24,439 Speaker 3: You think the capital markets will remain volatile? 1549 01:16:25,439 --> 01:16:28,600 Speaker 24: Look, the debates for capital markets very much sends on 1550 01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:31,840 Speaker 24: whether it's a short, swift campaign about bringing Iran to 1551 01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:35,320 Speaker 24: Nego sitting table and landing on a long term nuclear deal, 1552 01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:39,320 Speaker 24: or a more sustained campaign to bring about regime change. 1553 01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:41,639 Speaker 24: We can only really look back at what we've seen 1554 01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:45,519 Speaker 24: in a previous similar events, the Gulf War, Iraq War, 1555 01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:49,920 Speaker 24: Russians of Asia, Ukraine, the Reason Israel around twelve their war, 1556 01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:53,280 Speaker 24: and across all four episodes we saw the worst case 1557 01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:56,639 Speaker 24: scenarios priced them pretty quickly. My markets, particularly in oil 1558 01:16:57,200 --> 01:17:01,000 Speaker 24: and then that's generally been unwound. Is that geopolitical rest premium. 1559 01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:04,040 Speaker 24: Once we understand the scope and duration of the conflict, 1560 01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:06,719 Speaker 24: we know this is different. They're all different, but human 1561 01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:09,559 Speaker 24: behavior is not different, and markets tend to reflect the 1562 01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:12,040 Speaker 24: same so you tend to see the worse reactionately on 1563 01:17:12,880 --> 01:17:15,360 Speaker 24: and over time. You know, week or two we might 1564 01:17:15,400 --> 01:17:18,160 Speaker 24: see some of the spike and headlines on wine. 1565 01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:21,840 Speaker 3: Now on the reporting season, we saw that wind up 1566 01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:23,960 Speaker 3: on Friday. What are your key takeaways from this? 1567 01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:27,400 Speaker 24: Yeah, Look, the New Zealand company reporting season was actually 1568 01:17:27,400 --> 01:17:33,920 Speaker 24: pretty good. We had more results beats versus consensus expectations 1569 01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:37,560 Speaker 24: than misses. That we've seen more upgrades than downgrades. I 1570 01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:39,599 Speaker 24: saw some great results from companies like Fishing and Pipe 1571 01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:42,479 Speaker 24: with health ga A two. The Aussy Bank says in 1572 01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:44,599 Speaker 24: Whispac that are dual listed they will performed pretty well. 1573 01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:46,840 Speaker 24: We saw a little bit of weakness and Fletchers Ebos 1574 01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:50,720 Speaker 24: Vulcan spark chorus. But you know we are seeing a 1575 01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:54,600 Speaker 24: better trend and these trends are being driven by cost control. 1576 01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:57,679 Speaker 24: You know, it's stop quite company specific strategies to try 1577 01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:01,120 Speaker 24: and and proved profitably rather than a strong economic tale. 1578 01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:04,800 Speaker 24: When your companies were quite saying though mixed in news 1579 01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:08,040 Speaker 24: on economy, it's not consistent and quite a few companies 1580 01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:11,720 Speaker 24: talking about continue with cost out program. So it's a 1581 01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:13,400 Speaker 24: good economy. It's still a bit. 1582 01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:15,240 Speaker 3: Next good stuff.

We've just been some vibes from them. I've 1596 01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:51,080 Speaker 3: got some good news. It looks like we're going to 1597 01:18:51,120 --> 01:18:52,479 Speaker 3: be put out of a misery by the end of 1598 01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:54,120 Speaker 3: the week and we will find out who the All 1599 01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:56,840 Speaker 3: Blacks coach is going to beat. The word is that 1600 01:18:56,920 --> 01:19:00,040 Speaker 3: they are doing the formal interviews for the position of 1601 01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:02,640 Speaker 3: the All Blacks head coach this week and then they 1602 01:19:02,680 --> 01:19:05,479 Speaker 3: will probably make an announcement at the end of the week. 1603 01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:09,920 Speaker 3: It's just between two contenders Jamie Joseph Dave Renner. What 1604 01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:15,120 Speaker 3: a surprise, What a surprise. It's just between the two contenders. Now, 1605 01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:17,120 Speaker 3: if you continue with this line of thinking, which was 1606 01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:20,719 Speaker 3: predicted at the very start, Jamie Joseph will get the job. 1607 01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:22,680 Speaker 3: But anyway, let's go along with the gerad. Who knows 1608 01:19:22,720 --> 01:19:25,599 Speaker 3: we might be surprised yet Jamie Joseph. If Jamie Joseph 1609 01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:27,920 Speaker 3: gets the job, we'll have to leave the Highlanders pretty 1610 01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:30,800 Speaker 3: much immediately. Dave Reeni is in his final season with 1611 01:19:30,840 --> 01:19:34,400 Speaker 3: the Steelers over in Japan, we'll have to cut it 1612 01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:37,400 Speaker 3: short if he accepts the job. So anyway, find out 1613 01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:38,840 Speaker 3: shortly six twenty six. 1614 01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:46,760 Speaker 1: There's no business like show business. 1615 01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:50,040 Speaker 3: It's been a very big year for hockey, hasn't it. Firstly, 1616 01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:52,000 Speaker 3: we've got the Heat of Rivalry, which has become one 1617 01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:53,880 Speaker 3: of the biggest shows out right now. It's on Meon, 1618 01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:56,479 Speaker 3: by the way, if you haven't managed to watch it yet, 1619 01:19:56,520 --> 01:19:58,920 Speaker 3: it's about a pair of gay hockey players who fall 1620 01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:00,639 Speaker 3: in love but have to hide it from the public. 1621 01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:02,960 Speaker 3: Watch it when the kids aren't in the room. It's 1622 01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:05,760 Speaker 3: quite spicy. The other big story was both the US 1623 01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:09,160 Speaker 3: men's and women's hockey teams won gold at the Winter Olympics, 1624 01:20:09,479 --> 01:20:11,720 Speaker 3: though the winds were overshadowed by some locker room talk 1625 01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:13,559 Speaker 3: between the men's team and Donald Trump. 1626 01:20:14,280 --> 01:20:15,599 Speaker 2: We're gonna have to bring the women. 1627 01:20:21,479 --> 01:20:24,000 Speaker 8: I do believe I probably would be a peace. 1628 01:20:26,200 --> 01:20:29,200 Speaker 3: It's gone meta. The worlds have collided. Connor Story is 1629 01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:31,760 Speaker 3: one of the lead actors and Heated Rivalry. In less 1630 01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:33,360 Speaker 3: than a year, the sky has gone from being a 1631 01:20:33,360 --> 01:20:35,519 Speaker 3: waiter to one of the biggest names in Hollywood, even 1632 01:20:35,560 --> 01:20:38,479 Speaker 3: hosting S n L Over the weekend. Now, some of 1633 01:20:38,520 --> 01:20:40,760 Speaker 3: you may have seen literally all of me on my. 1634 01:20:40,720 --> 01:20:42,439 Speaker 9: Show Heated Rivalry. 1635 01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:44,400 Speaker 3: It's a show that has taught a lot of people 1636 01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:46,840 Speaker 3: about hockey, and it's taught a lot of street women 1637 01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:48,679 Speaker 3: that their sexuality is actually gay. 1638 01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:48,880 Speaker 2: Guy. 1639 01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:51,720 Speaker 3: And there's a bit of payback from the jokes at 1640 01:20:51,720 --> 01:20:54,439 Speaker 3: the girl's expense. He brought out members from the men's 1641 01:20:54,479 --> 01:20:56,640 Speaker 3: and women's team to poke a bit of fun at 1642 01:20:56,680 --> 01:20:58,960 Speaker 3: all of the outrage. It was gonna be just as 1643 01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:00,559 Speaker 3: but we thought we didn't bathe it goes too. 1644 01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:09,559 Speaker 10: I mean, both of your teams of Wonder Gold. 1645 01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:10,479 Speaker 2: Thanks. 1646 01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:12,320 Speaker 21: The last time the mon did that was forty six 1647 01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:14,439 Speaker 21: years ago, and the last time. 1648 01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:20,000 Speaker 3: We did that was two hot Olympics ago. But good 1649 01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:22,080 Speaker 3: on the US hockey boys for swallowing their pride and 1650 01:21:22,120 --> 01:21:25,160 Speaker 3: making it right in the best way that we as 1651 01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:28,960 Speaker 3: humans know, which is a good old public shaming. Tied 1652 01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:31,799 Speaker 3: a bowl on that hockey story, haven't we? Brad alson 1653 01:21:31,960 --> 01:21:33,519 Speaker 3: on what to do with your key we saver and 1654 01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:46,920 Speaker 3: what the financial implications are of this business in aram next. 1655 01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:47,599 Speaker 1: Everything from SMEs to the big corporates, the business hour 1656 01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:51,400 Speaker 1: with head, the duper clan and mass insurance and investments, 1657 01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:54,600 Speaker 1: your futures in good hands used talks'd be. 1658 01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:56,360 Speaker 2: Mister. 1659 01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:04,920 Speaker 3: Some analysts reckon that there is a rift between JD. 1660 01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:07,799 Speaker 3: Varance and Donald Trump on the air strikes on Iran 1661 01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:11,839 Speaker 3: because Donald Trump was in Mara Lago for the strikes, 1662 01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:14,040 Speaker 3: whereas JD. Varance wasn't even in the room. He was 1663 01:22:14,080 --> 01:22:16,960 Speaker 3: back in the situation room, and he has been weirdly 1664 01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:20,599 Speaker 3: quiet on social media. Normally he's pumping that social media hard, 1665 01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:22,040 Speaker 3: but he's had very little to say in the last 1666 01:22:22,040 --> 01:22:23,479 Speaker 3: few days, so they think it means that he's not 1667 01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:25,800 Speaker 3: very happy about this at all. We're gonna have a 1668 01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:28,800 Speaker 3: chat to Gavin Gray about the latest U turn from 1669 01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:31,240 Speaker 3: kir Starmer this time to do with the air strikes. 1670 01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:32,679 Speaker 3: He's going to be with us in ten minutes time, 1671 01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:34,200 Speaker 3: twenty four away from seven. 1672 01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:34,479 Speaker 16: Now. 1673 01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:36,679 Speaker 3: The flare up in the Middle East could have financial 1674 01:22:36,720 --> 01:22:39,479 Speaker 3: implications for New Zealand. Petrol prices, interest rates, key we 1675 01:22:39,520 --> 01:22:42,759 Speaker 3: save for balances could all be hit. Infirmetric's chief executive 1676 01:22:42,800 --> 01:22:45,679 Speaker 3: Brad Olson is with us now. Hi, Brad, good evening. 1677 01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:47,759 Speaker 3: I would imagine your biggest concern is inflation. 1678 01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:49,880 Speaker 2: It is for the. 1679 01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:53,120 Speaker 26: Moment, although so far I think the uncertainty is still 1680 01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:57,080 Speaker 26: meaning that we're worried, but it's not as direct so far. 1681 01:22:57,360 --> 01:23:00,839 Speaker 26: The likes of Brent crude oil prices are spuck thirteen 1682 01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:04,959 Speaker 26: percent today, but that was an early trading. That increase 1683 01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:08,840 Speaker 26: is now halved, with Brent only up just over six 1684 01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:11,679 Speaker 26: percent on the latest figures i'm looking at. So there 1685 01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:14,840 Speaker 26: has been a more muted sort of push higher in 1686 01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:17,800 Speaker 26: oil prices. People have been wondering about one hundred dollars 1687 01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:19,920 Speaker 26: a barrel and we haven't. You know, at the moment 1688 01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:22,880 Speaker 26: the figures have only just breached eighty and have then 1689 01:23:22,960 --> 01:23:24,640 Speaker 26: pulled back a bit, so this does seem to be 1690 01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:28,479 Speaker 26: a more limited fallout so far. Yes, there's concerns around 1691 01:23:28,520 --> 01:23:31,280 Speaker 26: the Strait of Hormuz and everything else, But so far 1692 01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:35,000 Speaker 26: energy infrastructure hasn't been directly attacked, and I think everyone's 1693 01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:37,320 Speaker 26: just trying to sort of wait things out and see 1694 01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:40,160 Speaker 26: how long it will go. Other parts of the economy, 1695 01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:42,280 Speaker 26: though still at a bit more risk. The likes of the 1696 01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:46,479 Speaker 26: ENZIEX fifty down I thinker point seventy five percent today 1697 01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:50,439 Speaker 26: just not really a feeling amongst traders that there's a 1698 01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:53,800 Speaker 26: great amount of growth opportunity out there. And when we 1699 01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:57,240 Speaker 26: see US markets open tomorrow, would be expecting a similar 1700 01:23:57,240 --> 01:24:00,880 Speaker 26: sort of pullback in the likes of stocks of those 1701 01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:03,960 Speaker 26: other purchases that people often flop to for a bit 1702 01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:06,000 Speaker 26: of a safe haven, like gold, well, they look like 1703 01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:08,240 Speaker 26: they've got a bit more potential. So a lot that 1704 01:24:08,240 --> 01:24:09,880 Speaker 26: we're trying to watch at the moment, but a lot 1705 01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:11,880 Speaker 26: of uncertainty is still coming out of the Middle East. 1706 01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:14,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, so half of thirteen is roughly about six, which 1707 01:24:14,760 --> 01:24:16,760 Speaker 3: is what the oil prices have gone up by. Do 1708 01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:19,000 Speaker 3: we know what that means that the petrol pump for. 1709 01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:21,960 Speaker 26: US, Well, I guess given how much it's sort of 1710 01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:25,280 Speaker 26: flicked around, even just within today, I'd be disappointed if 1711 01:24:25,320 --> 01:24:29,800 Speaker 26: you saw oil companies, the retailers here in New Zealand 1712 01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:32,960 Speaker 26: lift pump prices too quickly because all of this, you know, 1713 01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:36,360 Speaker 26: could will have operated away a little bit quicker. I'd 1714 01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:38,360 Speaker 26: expect that you might see over the course of this 1715 01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:41,639 Speaker 26: week a little bit more pressure coming on domestic prices. 1716 01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:45,439 Speaker 26: But again I think that you know, traders and the 1717 01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:47,400 Speaker 26: oil companies will need to be a little bit careful. 1718 01:24:47,680 --> 01:24:51,000 Speaker 26: Looking through some of the figures shows that international traders 1719 01:24:51,040 --> 01:24:53,720 Speaker 26: are thinking that there's sort of a three month impact here, 1720 01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:56,400 Speaker 26: so you know, changing things across the board and expecting 1721 01:24:56,640 --> 01:24:58,840 Speaker 26: fuel prices to be higher for you know, the next 1722 01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:02,640 Speaker 26: year is very much over the top. For now, I 1723 01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:04,600 Speaker 26: think it's probably a bit more sensible to sort of 1724 01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:07,160 Speaker 26: just hold things for the next week and then assess 1725 01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:09,639 Speaker 26: where where we get to. I mean, this is still 1726 01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:13,000 Speaker 26: a volatile situation, but yes, a bit more pressure. And 1727 01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:15,960 Speaker 26: of course that's coming at a time when tradable overseas 1728 01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:19,479 Speaker 26: based inflation had already been pitching up. The Reserve Bank's 1729 01:25:19,479 --> 01:25:21,760 Speaker 26: already got inflation out the top of the target ban. 1730 01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:25,320 Speaker 26: They are worried about these sort of pressures, but equally 1731 01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:28,280 Speaker 26: you'd hope that they'd look through a geopolitical event like 1732 01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:31,320 Speaker 26: this where they couldn't look through it as much. Is 1733 01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:34,040 Speaker 26: if not only households were being hit with those higher 1734 01:25:34,040 --> 01:25:37,400 Speaker 26: fuel prices if they go up, but also if transport 1735 01:25:37,479 --> 01:25:39,599 Speaker 26: costs around the country go up, and that would mean 1736 01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:42,080 Speaker 26: that every other product that has to get moved by 1737 01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:45,439 Speaker 26: road or ship or anything else would increase too. So 1738 01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:48,400 Speaker 26: some indirect effects that we're watching and waiting on. I mean, 1739 01:25:48,439 --> 01:25:52,040 Speaker 26: you've also got travel disruptions with airlines, You've got trade 1740 01:25:52,040 --> 01:25:55,479 Speaker 26: disruptions with about three billion dollars worth of exports from 1741 01:25:55,520 --> 01:25:58,400 Speaker 26: New Zealand that go up into the Gulf. So a 1742 01:25:58,439 --> 01:26:00,880 Speaker 26: lot of moving parts. But for them, I do think 1743 01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:04,200 Speaker 26: that everyone probably needs to keep their wits about them 1744 01:26:04,280 --> 01:26:07,719 Speaker 26: rather than reacting violently to these changes. 1745 01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:11,320 Speaker 3: Right, so you need to mediate this. Ben text earlier 1746 01:26:11,360 --> 01:26:13,000 Speaker 3: and said you've got to pull all your key we 1747 01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:15,400 Speaker 3: saver out of high risk and put it into cash. 1748 01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:17,760 Speaker 3: And then Phil said, nah, don't do that, because if 1749 01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:19,880 Speaker 3: you do that, then when the upswing happens, you're going 1750 01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:21,840 Speaker 3: to miss out on all the games. So what do 1751 01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:23,920 Speaker 3: you think, Well, look. 1752 01:26:23,760 --> 01:26:25,760 Speaker 26: If you wanted to put it, to move it out 1753 01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:27,599 Speaker 26: of a high risk strategy, you've got to do that 1754 01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:31,040 Speaker 26: before the risk comes through. If you're going to change 1755 01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:33,439 Speaker 26: it only once the market's open and they've already sort 1756 01:26:33,439 --> 01:26:35,559 Speaker 26: of you know, dropped away, then you're just locking in 1757 01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:38,839 Speaker 26: the loss. I think it comes down to risk tolerance. 1758 01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:41,080 Speaker 26: Like if you were looking to use your kei we 1759 01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:45,360 Speaker 26: saver for I don't know, the likes of retirement or 1760 01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:48,120 Speaker 26: to buy a house or something, then you probably weren't 1761 01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:50,439 Speaker 26: or maybe shouldn't have had it in such a high 1762 01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:54,280 Speaker 26: risk sort of moveable position in the first place. Personally, 1763 01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:56,479 Speaker 26: as someone who's not looking to touch the key we 1764 01:26:56,560 --> 01:26:59,080 Speaker 26: saver for probably thirty plus years, I'm not going to 1765 01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:01,800 Speaker 26: look back and go remember in March twenty twenty six 1766 01:27:01,840 --> 01:27:04,760 Speaker 26: when things changed around because of that conflict. I'm probably 1767 01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:06,120 Speaker 26: just not going to look at my key we save 1768 01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:08,120 Speaker 26: for the next couple of weeks. So if you're worried 1769 01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:10,519 Speaker 26: about your key we saver, go and take some advice 1770 01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:13,439 Speaker 26: rather than making some rash action. If you're worried about it, 1771 01:27:13,479 --> 01:27:15,760 Speaker 26: you probably should have been worried about it before all 1772 01:27:15,800 --> 01:27:18,440 Speaker 26: of this came up, and now's the second best opportunity 1773 01:27:18,520 --> 01:27:21,280 Speaker 26: to have a chat with someone to get that advice. 1774 01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:22,559 Speaker 8: But I do worry. 1775 01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:24,800 Speaker 26: I mean heither you remember the likes to start a 1776 01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:28,040 Speaker 26: COVID when markets, you know, absolutely dropped out. People made 1777 01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:30,720 Speaker 26: huge changes to their kew we saver. Three months later 1778 01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:32,800 Speaker 26: it all came back and a lot of people went, damn, 1779 01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:34,479 Speaker 26: I lost that and I missed it and now I've 1780 01:27:34,479 --> 01:27:35,240 Speaker 26: locked in a loss. 1781 01:27:35,479 --> 01:27:37,240 Speaker 3: Do you know what such a good point that you make, 1782 01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:39,360 Speaker 3: Brad as always thank you mate, look after yourself. Brad 1783 01:27:39,400 --> 01:27:42,360 Speaker 3: Olson in for Metric's chief executive, so you needed it 1784 01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:46,000 Speaker 3: when Trumpy was moving the aircraft, so you should have 1785 01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:47,880 Speaker 3: done it then. Now, don't listen to me. I'm not 1786 01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:50,479 Speaker 3: a registered financial advice I need to reiterate that eighteen 1787 01:27:50,520 --> 01:27:51,360 Speaker 3: away from seven. 1788 01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:52,559 Speaker 2: Kell duper see Alan. 1789 01:27:52,680 --> 01:27:54,400 Speaker 3: I feel like this is something we discussed on the 1790 01:27:54,400 --> 01:27:57,439 Speaker 3: show a few weeks back, which is the best food 1791 01:27:57,520 --> 01:28:00,320 Speaker 3: city in New Zealand Because people always say, oh, it's Wellington, 1792 01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:01,960 Speaker 3: they were Wellington on a plate. Oh I got the 1793 01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:04,439 Speaker 3: Burger Festival, Ah, they got the Beervana, and I always 1794 01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:08,719 Speaker 3: at that point go yea, it's actually Auckland. It's Wellington' 1795 01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:10,880 Speaker 3: stopped being the best food city a long time ago 1796 01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:13,679 Speaker 3: and it's Auckland. I'm happy to say that. Jesse Mulligan 1797 01:28:13,720 --> 01:28:16,920 Speaker 3: has backed up this view with his Viva in the 1798 01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:19,160 Speaker 3: Herald today. He's done a list of the top ten. 1799 01:28:19,479 --> 01:28:24,120 Speaker 3: I'll give them to you number one Auckland, two Wellington 1800 01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:30,400 Speaker 3: two equal, christ Church four Queenstown, Arrowtown, five, Napier Hastings, six, Hamilton, 1801 01:28:30,479 --> 01:28:33,799 Speaker 3: seven to eighten eight New Plymouth, nine Blenheim and ten topal. 1802 01:28:34,160 --> 01:28:37,519 Speaker 3: He says Auckland is well ahead. Well I just just 1803 01:28:38,520 --> 01:28:41,400 Speaker 3: well ahead, just in case you missed that. Auckland is 1804 01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:46,120 Speaker 3: well ahead because of the international particularly migrant influence, the 1805 01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:49,120 Speaker 3: concentration of talent and the sheer population making new and 1806 01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:53,719 Speaker 3: interesting restaurants viable. Note cities in wine regions benefits somewhat 1807 01:28:53,720 --> 01:28:56,320 Speaker 3: from the numerous saladors and restaurants within twenty minutes of 1808 01:28:56,320 --> 01:28:59,400 Speaker 3: the city. And he actually points out Craigie Range in 1809 01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:01,160 Speaker 3: Hawks Bay as an example of that. And that's one 1810 01:29:01,240 --> 01:29:04,760 Speaker 3: hundred percent right. He then says christ Church just continues 1811 01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:08,280 Speaker 3: to get better, meaning Wellington will need to work hard 1812 01:29:08,360 --> 01:29:11,599 Speaker 3: to keep that spot competitive because it's second equal. As 1813 01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:13,759 Speaker 3: someone who spent all of my twenties in that beautiful 1814 01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:16,160 Speaker 3: capital city, I believe in them as and I believe 1815 01:29:16,160 --> 01:29:20,360 Speaker 3: in Wellington. Now I also believe in Wellington well well 1816 01:29:20,680 --> 01:29:25,280 Speaker 3: this is well Okay, let's be honest. I really want 1817 01:29:25,320 --> 01:29:28,120 Speaker 3: Wellington to do well because geez, they need a break 1818 01:29:28,160 --> 01:29:31,360 Speaker 3: and this do I have the happiest memories of living 1819 01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:33,400 Speaker 3: in Wellington and just going out and spending all my 1820 01:29:33,439 --> 01:29:36,320 Speaker 3: cash on food and drank and just having a great time, 1821 01:29:36,520 --> 01:29:41,200 Speaker 3: just being wild loved it. Do I believe Wellington can 1822 01:29:41,240 --> 01:29:45,880 Speaker 3: hold it versus the upsurge from christ Church and the 1823 01:29:45,920 --> 01:29:50,280 Speaker 3: decline of Wellington. No, I do not. But anyway, there 1824 01:29:50,320 --> 01:29:52,000 Speaker 3: you go. Auckland's number one. What did I tell you 1825 01:29:52,160 --> 01:29:53,240 Speaker 3: sixteen away from seven? 1826 01:29:54,280 --> 01:29:55,439 Speaker 2: Ever, it's to do with money. 1827 01:29:55,720 --> 01:29:59,840 Speaker 1: It matters to you the business hour with Heather dupericil 1828 01:29:59,880 --> 01:30:03,559 Speaker 1: it and mayor's insurance and investments and your futures in 1829 01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:06,479 Speaker 1: good heads US talks, it'd be hither. 1830 01:30:06,560 --> 01:30:09,439 Speaker 3: The principled question is does New Zealand, as a member 1831 01:30:09,439 --> 01:30:12,479 Speaker 3: of the UN, believe in an international rules based world. 1832 01:30:12,560 --> 01:30:14,280 Speaker 3: If we do, then we need to say so. If 1833 01:30:14,280 --> 01:30:16,759 Speaker 3: we don't, then putin canateac Ukraine and Trump can aitact 1834 01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:19,240 Speaker 3: Greenland as well. This government was asked two years ago 1835 01:30:19,320 --> 01:30:22,559 Speaker 3: to designate the IRGC a terrorist organization, which they are, 1836 01:30:22,840 --> 01:30:24,720 Speaker 3: and it declined it's easy to call them evil now. 1837 01:30:24,760 --> 01:30:27,960 Speaker 3: Gregory full Teme, thank you. Gregory. Gregory thirteen away from 1838 01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:31,960 Speaker 3: seven and Gavin Gray are UK correspondents with US. Hello, Gevin, Hi, 1839 01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:34,759 Speaker 3: there had So Keir Starmer has capitulated on the air bases. 1840 01:30:36,200 --> 01:30:37,200 Speaker 16: Yeah, we think he has. 1841 01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:39,360 Speaker 20: He's been under a lot of pressure and has been 1842 01:30:39,439 --> 01:30:42,840 Speaker 20: for a last few weeks to allow America to use 1843 01:30:43,240 --> 01:30:45,639 Speaker 20: a couple of the Arif bases on which to fly 1844 01:30:45,800 --> 01:30:49,679 Speaker 20: long range missions. Now, originally we think he was asked 1845 01:30:49,720 --> 01:30:52,719 Speaker 20: for use of the Royal Air Force Base at Fairford, 1846 01:30:52,720 --> 01:30:55,760 Speaker 20: which is in Gloucestershire, to the west of London in 1847 01:30:55,760 --> 01:30:59,800 Speaker 20: the West Country, and also the joint US UK base 1848 01:31:00,560 --> 01:31:04,280 Speaker 20: Diego Garcia, one of the Chagos Islands off in the 1849 01:31:04,280 --> 01:31:08,760 Speaker 20: Indian Ocean. Now he originally declined that use about three 1850 01:31:08,920 --> 01:31:11,599 Speaker 20: three and a half weeks ago. Now he's turned around 1851 01:31:11,640 --> 01:31:15,559 Speaker 20: and say, actually, yes they Americans can use these bases, 1852 01:31:15,640 --> 01:31:19,800 Speaker 20: but only for defensive strikes. He's calling it and he said, 1853 01:31:19,800 --> 01:31:23,400 Speaker 20: we've learnt the mistakes of Iraq and the UK was 1854 01:31:23,479 --> 01:31:26,320 Speaker 20: not involved in the initial strikes on Iran and will 1855 01:31:26,360 --> 01:31:30,479 Speaker 20: not join the offensive action. Now he said, so he's 1856 01:31:30,560 --> 01:31:34,120 Speaker 20: caught between those more hawkish, saying he's let America down. 1857 01:31:34,160 --> 01:31:36,280 Speaker 20: We should have been in this from the start. Others 1858 01:31:36,320 --> 01:31:39,800 Speaker 20: are saying he's now gone and flip flopped the other way, 1859 01:31:39,840 --> 01:31:42,559 Speaker 20: and they don't want Britain to become involved in any way, 1860 01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:45,360 Speaker 20: shape or form of what's going on, saying, let us 1861 01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:49,240 Speaker 20: hear quite clearly from the government is this legal under 1862 01:31:49,240 --> 01:31:52,240 Speaker 20: international law or not? And so far all the ministers 1863 01:31:52,240 --> 01:31:55,920 Speaker 20: on television, radio, print are all refusing to answer that 1864 01:31:56,040 --> 01:31:58,800 Speaker 20: single question. So it looks like Donald Trump's got his 1865 01:31:58,880 --> 01:32:02,120 Speaker 20: way with the use of these orif basis for long 1866 01:32:02,200 --> 01:32:06,080 Speaker 20: range strikes, but only after the start of this action 1867 01:32:06,280 --> 01:32:06,799 Speaker 20: in Iran. 1868 01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:10,920 Speaker 3: Now, what do we know about this chep who's been 1869 01:32:11,040 --> 01:32:15,800 Speaker 3: charged with the graffiti on the Sir Winston Churchill statue. 1870 01:32:16,479 --> 01:32:21,559 Speaker 20: Very interesting case this because in the early hours of 1871 01:32:21,760 --> 01:32:26,240 Speaker 20: the Friday there was graffiti appearing on the very famous 1872 01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:28,839 Speaker 20: Winston church Or statue. It is a couple of meters 1873 01:32:28,960 --> 01:32:31,840 Speaker 20: off the ground. It actually stands in total three point 1874 01:32:31,960 --> 01:32:35,599 Speaker 20: six meters and it was unveiled in nineteen seventy three 1875 01:32:35,680 --> 01:32:39,280 Speaker 20: and for many people it absolutely epitomizes Winston church and 1876 01:32:39,360 --> 01:32:43,000 Speaker 20: everything he stood for, that very no nonsense approach, and 1877 01:32:43,040 --> 01:32:46,080 Speaker 20: so forth. However, over the years it has become a 1878 01:32:46,200 --> 01:32:49,599 Speaker 20: target for the disaffected, and on this case, a thirty 1879 01:32:49,640 --> 01:32:53,439 Speaker 20: eight year old man called Caspar San Giorgio, believed to 1880 01:32:53,479 --> 01:32:57,960 Speaker 20: come from the Netherlands but of no fixed address, has 1881 01:32:58,720 --> 01:33:04,519 Speaker 20: already been arrested in by the police in London and 1882 01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:09,720 Speaker 20: charged with effectively criminal damage. Now basically what it was 1883 01:33:09,720 --> 01:33:13,559 Speaker 20: sprayed on the statue is never again is now now. 1884 01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:15,920 Speaker 20: Never again of course relates to a speech church or 1885 01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:18,280 Speaker 20: made about we must never get into world wars again 1886 01:33:19,200 --> 01:33:23,559 Speaker 20: and free Palestine and also globalized the into Father. Now 1887 01:33:23,600 --> 01:33:26,160 Speaker 20: what's interesting is that the police in London made that 1888 01:33:26,200 --> 01:33:31,240 Speaker 20: particular sentence globalized the Into Father a criminal offense, and 1889 01:33:31,720 --> 01:33:35,240 Speaker 20: so he's no doubt facing charges for the damage to 1890 01:33:35,280 --> 01:33:38,519 Speaker 20: the statue, which will has already been cleaned off and 1891 01:33:38,560 --> 01:33:41,759 Speaker 20: there's cost thousands of dollars to do so. But also 1892 01:33:41,960 --> 01:33:47,479 Speaker 20: if he has spray painted with red paint globalized the interofather, 1893 01:33:47,560 --> 01:33:50,920 Speaker 20: that could be a separate thing altogether. Now we don't 1894 01:33:50,960 --> 01:33:55,120 Speaker 20: yet know what he's saying about these charges yet, but 1895 01:33:55,439 --> 01:33:57,640 Speaker 20: this is all to do its thought and linked with 1896 01:33:58,560 --> 01:34:03,680 Speaker 20: the arrests that have been made over support for Palestine 1897 01:34:03,760 --> 01:34:07,840 Speaker 20: Action group. That's been labeled as terrorist group here that 1898 01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:11,400 Speaker 20: has been subject to many, many protests over the last 1899 01:34:11,439 --> 01:34:12,240 Speaker 20: few weeks. 1900 01:34:13,120 --> 01:34:15,800 Speaker 3: Gevin, I see, apparently we've been writing a lot longer 1901 01:34:15,800 --> 01:34:16,679 Speaker 3: than we thought we had. 1902 01:34:17,880 --> 01:34:21,880 Speaker 20: Yes, this is a rather funny story because experts have 1903 01:34:21,960 --> 01:34:26,799 Speaker 20: always begun to pin down when they think that people 1904 01:34:26,840 --> 01:34:30,519 Speaker 20: started writing or making notes as it were, making some 1905 01:34:30,560 --> 01:34:33,599 Speaker 20: sort of annotations as to when we first began talking 1906 01:34:33,640 --> 01:34:37,599 Speaker 20: about emotions, and they believed it to be some five 1907 01:34:37,640 --> 01:34:42,439 Speaker 20: thousand years ago in ancient Iraq or Mesopotamia. However, now 1908 01:34:43,400 --> 01:34:47,040 Speaker 20: the researchers of discerned patterns of meaning in lines, notches, dots, 1909 01:34:47,040 --> 01:34:51,000 Speaker 20: and crosses on objects like mammoth tusks in caves in Germany, 1910 01:34:51,040 --> 01:34:55,400 Speaker 20: and they are forty five thousand years old, so it 1911 01:34:55,479 --> 01:34:59,800 Speaker 20: completely blows the previous theory out of the water. Now 1912 01:34:59,840 --> 01:35:02,960 Speaker 20: the precise meaning of the symbols in Germany remains a mystery. 1913 01:35:03,160 --> 01:35:04,800 Speaker 20: And I have to tell you how they having seen 1914 01:35:04,840 --> 01:35:10,200 Speaker 20: a picture of these dots, notches, lines, crosses. I can't 1915 01:35:10,240 --> 01:35:13,679 Speaker 20: see how they actually think this is somebody talking about 1916 01:35:13,720 --> 01:35:17,800 Speaker 20: their thoughts and feelings, but perhaps it is. Anyway, this 1917 01:35:17,880 --> 01:35:20,800 Speaker 20: has really changed the way in which people think things 1918 01:35:20,840 --> 01:35:23,360 Speaker 20: are going on some three thousand characters on two hundred 1919 01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:26,080 Speaker 20: and sixty objects have been uncovered in these caves. They're 1920 01:35:26,120 --> 01:35:27,920 Speaker 20: calling it the DNA of. 1921 01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:32,520 Speaker 3: Writingvin, Thanks very much appreciated, Gavin Gray, how UK correspondent 1922 01:35:32,520 --> 01:35:33,360 Speaker 3: eight away from seven. 1923 01:35:34,439 --> 01:35:37,720 Speaker 1: It's the hitherto for see Alan Drive Full Show podcast 1924 01:35:37,840 --> 01:35:40,719 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio powered by newstalg ZIBBI. 1925 01:35:43,400 --> 01:35:45,439 Speaker 3: Just to quick hits up if you are wanting to 1926 01:35:45,479 --> 01:35:48,439 Speaker 3: sell your house at the moment, the favorite of competition 1927 01:35:48,479 --> 01:35:50,320 Speaker 3: by the looks of things, huge number of people trying 1928 01:35:50,320 --> 01:35:52,439 Speaker 3: to get the listings out.
