1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: So small tip on news coverage media. Now the media

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: can go a small way to redeeming their reputation by

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: asking some more questions. I would have thought. One of

4
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: the current obsessions is the closure of hospow outlets. A

5
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: cafe needs to announce their closing. The media can't swoop

6
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: fast enough with the doom and gloom headline. The hospital Association,

7
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: of course, to be fair, doesn't help. They roll out

8
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: no shortage of misery stories as well. Ruby and Auckland

9
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 1: Are got headlines the other day after they announced they

10
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: were leaving downtown Auckland. Now Ruby is in hospow of course,

11
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: but the same fetish for bad headlines applies. Get into

12
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: the detail of that story. And yes the Auckland viab

13
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: isn't what it might once have been, as they said,

14
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: But the real reason they were leaving is the space

15
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: didn't suit them anymore. They were off elsewhere and good

16
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: on them. And days later their original space was snapped

17
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: up by a business that was keen to expand. Fast

18
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: forward to this week and it's the Rice bol Burger

19
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: Barren Wellington que the stuff headline yesterday another Wellington Hosbow

20
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: business announcers closure. Here's what I know. Every story has

21
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: a story. It's not always the economy. In fact, it's

22
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: often not the economy. In some cases, it's the wrong

23
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: place i e. They took the car parks away. Sometimes

24
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: it's bad luck i e. They built the crl around

25
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: you and didn't compensate you. Sometimes it because well, you're

26
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: not very good at your job i e. Your food's

27
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: crap and there are better places down the road. Sometimes

28
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: it's about migration. Hospo's an easy way to buy work

29
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: for you in the family. Doesn't mean you're any good

30
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: or you understand the culture, but it is a ticket

31
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: to work and a visa. The evidence, for those who

32
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: want to look at it shows HOSPO for those who

33
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: work han't and offer good food and good service. Guess

34
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: what they do well. The country is sadly though over

35
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: Hossboat and Irony of ironies. Despite the closure and woe

36
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: in misery headlines, we actually have more HOSPO outlets than

37
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: we've ever had before. One closes, but at least another one,

38
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: if not more open. But they don't write about the startups,

39
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: do they, Because that would be just a little bit

40
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: too upbeat, wouldn't it. For more from the mic Asking Breakfast,
