It's hither 2 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: duplic ellend drive with one New Zealand. 3 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 2: Let's get connected us talk said. 4 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 3: B Hey, good afternoon, welcome to the show. Coming up today. 5 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 3: The government's released its next action plan list heapes. 6 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 4: Of it focuses on law and orders. 7 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:22,799 Speaker 3: So we're going to talk to Bowl Goldsmith about it. 8 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 3: He's the relevant minister. The boss of Kayeing Order aka 9 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 3: Housing New Zealand has quit or it's been told to quit. 10 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 3: We're going to speak to the chair and we'll tell 11 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 3: you about the big goldfine down south. Before we got 12 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 3: to Nikola Willis the Finance Minister. 13 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 2: Heather duplicy Ellen. 14 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 3: Look, I'm loath to start the week's so I apologize 15 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 3: with yet another thing that's broken in this country right now. 16 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 3: But I've got to be honest with you. I am 17 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 3: so sick and tired of this particular argument that I 18 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 3: just want to propose a solution to it so that 19 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 3: we can do the thing. 20 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 2: And then move on. 21 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 3: If the government or you know, Health New Zealand is 22 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 3: not prepared to put decent amounts of money into our GPS, 23 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 3: can they please just give the GPS permission to charge 24 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 3: us whatever they want, so the situation can be fixed 25 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 3: at the moment. How it works is that gps get 26 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 3: x amount of money per person from Health New Zealand, 27 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 3: and then of course you pay a little bit more 28 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 3: on top of that to kind of make the balance 29 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 3: the book books balance right. But Health New Zealand tells 30 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 3: those gps basically how much extra they are allowed to 31 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 3: charge you. It's never enough. It hasn't been enough for 32 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 3: what like six or seven years or something like that. 33 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 3: Gps have been complaining about it this whole time, and 34 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 3: once again this year it's still not enough. Health New 35 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,559 Speaker 3: Zealand are going to give the gps a four percent 36 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 3: increase and then they're going to allow them to charge 37 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 3: on top of what they already do another seven point 38 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 3: seven six percent. So, for example, it means that the 39 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 3: seventy five dollars that I get charged when I go 40 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 3: to see the doctor will be allowed to go up 41 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 3: to about eighty one dollars. And yep, there's a lot 42 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 3: of money. There's a lot of money to go to 43 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 3: the GP and pay eighty one bucks. But frankly it's 44 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 3: probably not enough for most of the gps because they 45 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 3: have been underfunded for so long if you listen to them, 46 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 3: there are practices that are now already insolvent or on 47 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 3: the brink of insolvency, and it dosally GPS are not 48 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 3: paying themselves in some cases so that they can afford 49 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 3: to pay their staff. There is a guy in Wellington 50 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 3: today complaining to the media that his doctor won't see 51 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 3: him in person, only see him over the phone or 52 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 3: talk to him over the phone because they have a 53 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 3: shortage of GPS they simply cannot afford the time. This 54 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 3: is being described as a crisis and has been a 55 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 3: crisis for some time in the making. Now, Health New Zealand, 56 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 3: I mean, let's be honest about it, ain't gonna give 57 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 3: them more money because it doesn't have more money. Doesn't 58 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 3: even have enough money at the moment to hire the 59 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 3: doctors and the nurses and the specialists to staff the 60 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 3: new hospital building on the North Shore that they just 61 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 3: in quotation marks opened. They don't open nothing. The building 62 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 3: is good to go, but they've just taken staff from 63 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 3: another place and put them over there. That's not really 64 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 3: making the house system any better. They don't have any money. 65 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 3: So the only option if Health New Zealand doesn't have 66 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 3: enough money to put into the GPS. Is to let 67 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 3: us put money into the GPS. It's not a great 68 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 3: solution because what it's gonna do is it's going to 69 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 3: price GPS out of reach for a whole bunch of 70 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 3: people who are then just going to trapse off to 71 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 3: ED and take their problems there. But frankly, it is 72 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 3: better to send people to ED than it is to 73 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 3: send the GP clinics and to shut down, because that 74 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 3: means that we lose them all together. Make the tough calls. 75 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 3: Shane Rittie, come on, this debate has gone on too 76 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 3: long now, Heather do for c Allen nine two nine 77 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 3: two is the text numbers, standard texts, fees apply and 78 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 3: hopefully we'll get this one done and then we have 79 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 3: to don't have to talk about it again. Brian Betty's 80 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 3: going to be the US ten plus five will solve 81 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 3: the problems. 82 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 5: Of the world. 83 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 3: So he's with us in an hour. Now turn to 84 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 3: something completely differently. It turns out that Wellington a super 85 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 3: city is back on the agenda again because four councils 86 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 3: in the Wellington region have been talking about amalgamation. Now, 87 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 3: this is much smaller than what was originally proposed years ago, 88 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 3: which would have included the wider upper councils. This time 89 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 3: it would just be ported to a Wellington Upper Hut 90 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 3: and Hut City. Apparently the Mayor's met back in May 91 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 3: to talk it through the planning to chat again Anita 92 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 3: Baker as the mayor of portadours with us. Now, Hey, Anita, hello, 93 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 3: how are you well? Thank you? Do you reckon? This 94 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 3: is a goer? 95 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 2: Well? 96 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 6: It is, but we're not all on the same page. 97 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 6: And you can only be on the same page and 98 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 6: make it work of four of you agree and you 99 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 6: don't chextit at the moment. 100 00:03:58,280 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, so who's not agreeing? 101 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 6: Wellington at the moment? Aren't on board for the discussion? 102 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 6: You know, don't think it's suitable right now, Tory partners. 103 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 6: You can't keep putting it off. Yeah, you know at 104 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 6: the last in agamation, you've just got to look upward. 105 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 3: Why isn't Tory into it? 106 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 7: I don't know. 107 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 6: I think she's, you know, got troubles in Wellington around 108 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 6: her table. They've got other things going on. We're all 109 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 6: dealing with water. But actually it's a good time to 110 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 6: have those discussions. 111 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 3: I find it slightly ironic, the Tori is the one 112 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 3: who's not into it, given that presumably, like their council 113 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 3: would surely be the one that should be most grateful 114 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 3: to be sucked up into other councils, shouldn't they. 115 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 6: Well, you'd like to think so that they don't agree 116 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 6: on much, so I'm not sure how that will happen. 117 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 6: I'd just like to have the discussion and be able 118 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 6: to move on because I think we're all doing things, 119 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 6: you know, differently, when we should all be on the 120 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 6: same page. 121 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 3: So let me get this right. And so you and 122 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 3: the mayors of Upper Hut and Hut City, you're all 123 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 3: quite keen on this. 124 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 6: Discussion. We all do rubbish recycling, all do it differently, 125 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 6: all charge different things for building consents dogs. Yet we're 126 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 6: in a very small area where we're ten twenty minutes 127 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 6: away from each other. You know, it seems silly. We 128 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 6: could be up for LAOD funding. We fight each other 129 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 6: for funding and things we should be working together. We 130 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 6: are a very small region. Most of the people that 131 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 6: can put your work in Wellington or the Hut. 132 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 3: So it's a little bit like Turkey's voting for an 133 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 3: early Christmas. Why do you want to do yourselves out 134 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 3: of jobs. 135 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 6: Well, it's got a scaday of jobs. We're not doing 136 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 6: a great job. We've all got huge rating cresses. We're 137 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 6: all sailing with water, as you know. But actually we 138 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,559 Speaker 6: are one region and instead of all fighting for things, 139 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 6: we should be working together as a team. If Wellington's 140 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 6: doing bad, we're all doing bad. We need willing to. 141 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 3: Survive, Anita, the fact that this has come out into 142 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 3: the media suggests that you guys are trying to put 143 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 3: pressure on Toy to buckle and get on board. Is 144 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 3: that what's up? 145 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 6: Well, I didn't put it out there, but she needs 146 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 6: to turn to the table and talk to us. Yes, 147 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 6: but she needs to have an open mind and hopefully 148 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 6: just listen. I mean, we haven't got to the stage 149 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 6: where we're talking to residents yet. You know, you need 150 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 6: to have a discussion to see there is a discussion. 151 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,359 Speaker 6: Because it's not a theism we can make you know, 152 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 6: the residents and porter and might say not a great idea. 153 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 6: I'm hearing lots of people saying get on with it, 154 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 6: but that doesn't mean everybody saying that. 155 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 3: Is Tory dismissing this out of hand. 156 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 6: No open for the discussion, but not really in the discussion. 157 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 6: So it's a matter of getting to the table. It's here, 158 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 6: let's stick to her and there you come up. You 159 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 6: know this has just come out in the paper this morning. 160 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 3: When's your next meeting? 161 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 6: The Mirror Forum meeting is in August, but we will 162 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 6: get together as a group of four mayors and try 163 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 6: and sooner. Haven't got a meeting set. 164 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 3: Well, good luck with it, and to really appreciate you 165 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 3: talking to us. It's a need to make a put 166 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 3: it or mare. No surprise, absolutely anybody that the stick 167 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 3: in the mud there for the old spoke in the wheel, 168 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 3: whatever it is. What is like a spanner in the 169 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 3: wheel is old Tory, isn't it? Of course it is anyway, 170 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 3: fly in the ointment. We wanted to talk. We did 171 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 3: ask for Toy, didn't we. We asked for Tory to 172 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 3: come on the show and have a chat to us 173 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 3: about it. But you will recall, of course, that Tory 174 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 3: has got ADHD and significant levels of autism at the moment, 175 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 3: and therefore only really works in the morning and doesn't 176 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 3: really work in the afternoon because she's a little bit tired, 177 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 3: and unfortunately for us, the show is in the afternoon. 178 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 3: So I think that probably counts the energy levels way down, 179 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 3: like Biden level energy levels after four o'clock. I don't 180 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 3: know if you realize that about Biden, but he only 181 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 3: works until four, like he's good to go ten am 182 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 3: til four pm. And then it just flags like one 183 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 3: of those you know, one of those little things that 184 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 3: they have outside of the car yards with a pump 185 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 3: all the air and it's like a little man who's 186 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 3: like full of energy, and then the energy after four 187 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 3: o'clock to turn the ad the air off and he 188 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 3: just kind of wilts. It's like toys a bit like that. 189 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 3: So unfortunately we start at four, Tory ends at four. 190 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 3: It's not really compatible for us. So anyway, the days 191 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 3: of Tory on the show are probably over now that 192 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 3: she's been diagnosed. I don't know if you've caught up 193 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 3: on Bolivia, but there is now speculation. This gets crazier. 194 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 3: And remember how they had the coup and it was 195 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 3: over just like that. It was like they came up 196 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 3: to the gates and then that was it, it was finished. Well, 197 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 3: there is now speculation that the president staged the coup 198 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 3: attempt himself. Apparently this is because the general. When the 199 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 3: general was midway through it and about to be arrested. 200 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 3: He claimed the President had in fact ordered him to 201 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 3: carry out the coup in a ruse to boost the 202 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 3: flagging popularity of the present Though president looked at the situation, 203 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 3: was like, people really hate me, you know what, They'll 204 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 3: feel sorry for me if somebody tries to stage a 205 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 3: cur So let's do that. 206 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 8: Now. 207 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 3: Some believin's actually believe this, and the opposition has taken 208 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 3: this and run with it. They seem to believe it, 209 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 3: or at least they're making a play of believing it. 210 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 3: But there is unfortunately at the stage no evidence. The 211 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,599 Speaker 3: President says it's all lies. But what will absolutely be 212 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 3: adding to the speculation is because the coup's rubbish and 213 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 3: it was over really quickly, and so people will be 214 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 3: very suspicious about that. Sixteen past four. 215 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: Digging deeper into the day's headlines, it's hither duper c 216 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: Allen drive with one New Zealand one giant leap for business, U. 217 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 3: Stork said be Jason pine sports talkhasters. If they now 218 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 3: Piney hallo, Heather Piney, Yes, England thinks they're going to 219 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 3: beat the All Blacks? Are they do they think that? 220 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 2: Do they think that. 221 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 3: That's what they're saying. That's what they're saying. 222 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,119 Speaker 9: Well, I guess there are chants. I don't think their favorite. 223 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 9: I don't think any team that comes to New Zealand 224 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 9: to play the All Blacks is favorite. No, well, yeah, 225 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 9: they've got to get to Dunedin first, So I guess 226 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 9: they could look if they're going to target one, they 227 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 9: target the first test, wouldn't they. They've coming off the 228 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 9: back of a win over Japan, the All Blacks are 229 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 9: getting together for the first time under a new coaching regime, 230 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 9: and you know, history tells us that the first All 231 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 9: Blacks test of any year is never perfect, so I 232 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 9: guess they you know, they're probably rightfully optimistic. I don't 233 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 9: think they'll beat the All Blacks. I think the All 234 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 9: Blacks will win both test matches starting this weekend in Dunedin. 235 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 3: Do you reckon it'd be the first case of nerves 236 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 3: that Raises had in years? 237 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 9: Yeah, I reckon. 238 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 3: I reckon it will all tummy. 239 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 10: Yeah yeah, but yeah. 240 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 9: Look he I was really interested to watch him at 241 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:01,239 Speaker 9: the All Blacks launched last week. He's clearly very very comfortable 242 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 9: sort of dealing with the public, but in a more 243 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 9: formal situation when he got up on the stage and 244 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,719 Speaker 9: had to sort of give a speech and that sort 245 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 9: of thing a lot more formal. It was just slightly 246 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,719 Speaker 9: slightly less razorlike for me, it was interesting to watch him. 247 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 9: But then had him on the radio on Saturday, very relaxed, 248 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 9: shorts and T shirt and yeah, really sort of outlining 249 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 9: his vision for the year. So yeah, I reckon, he'll 250 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 9: be nervous. You would be, wouldn't you. You have a 251 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 9: job you've wanted your whole life, first test. 252 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 3: The gate, nervous out hate because everybody was like, here's 253 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 3: the guy. You got it, Like we rolled somebody for you. 254 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 3: You better be doing it, do you know what I mean? 255 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 2: That's right. 256 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 9: Were already getting calls as well on the show. 257 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 3: Look, I'm not sure about Razor. 258 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 9: I quite feel like we should give him a chance 259 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 9: to have at least one game before we make any 260 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 9: judgment calls. 261 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 3: They were in your expectations so that you can only 262 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 3: be surprised on the upside, which I quite think. What 263 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 3: about their bicycle kick was that impressive? 264 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 11: Yeah? 265 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 3: I like that? 266 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 9: Yeah, Jude Bellingham. Look, they were terrible England this morning, 267 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 9: as they have been for most of this tournament. They 268 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 9: were thirty seconds away from going home before Bellingham pulled 269 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 9: that out and then England got a second goal and 270 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 9: they're through to the quarter finals. They really have to 271 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 9: up their game, if you know, if the famous catch 272 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 9: cry it's coming home is actually going to happen. But yeah, 273 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 9: Joe Bellingham, wonderful player, terrific goal. They're through. Maybe it 274 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 9: doesn't matter how they did it, just that they did it. 275 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 9: So we'll wait and see how they go against Switzerland 276 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 9: on Saturday. 277 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 3: So have you decided that we need to replace Seawan 278 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 3: Johnson with to Mighty martin for a monthly? 279 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 9: I look astounding. 280 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 3: I just want to lay this out for you. Okay, 281 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 3: So this is nothing against Sean Johnson, you know at all. 282 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 3: The guy is a legend. However, there was a slump 283 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 3: in the season while he was playing. He goes off 284 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 3: for three weeks to Mighty Martin's in the space, they 285 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 3: win three weeks, He comes back for two weeks, they 286 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,599 Speaker 3: lose for two weeks, goes away to Mighty Martin's in 287 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 3: charge and they win again. I mean that's a pattern. 288 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 9: Well, it is, and I think one thing we have 289 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 9: to obviously be aware of here is that Shawn Johnson's 290 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 9: clearly not one hundred percent fit. They've tried to rush 291 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 9: him back twice and now they need to wait until 292 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 9: he is fit. You're dead right about Tom Marty Martin 293 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 9: in partnership with Chanelle Harris Tavita very good that the 294 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 9: pair of them have played three games together in one 295 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 9: all three so clearly we've inadvertently probably landed on the 296 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 9: harves combo going forward for the Warriors. And it's a 297 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 9: very very interesting case of player management. When Shawn Johnson 298 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 9: is fit, and I say when he is fit, when 299 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 9: he's one hundred percent fit, does he come straight back 300 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 9: in or do you stick with what's working for you 301 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 9: if indeed it continues to work for you. 302 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 3: This is the conundrum. May thank you so much, mate, 303 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 3: appreciate it. Jason Pyen, sportstalre Coastiper back at seven o'clock 304 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 3: this evening. Hither is once in favor of a supercity, 305 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 3: but frankly, given the state of Wellington, I'd be open 306 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 3: to a single hot valley, put it to a council 307 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 3: and then leave Wellington out of it all together. I mean, 308 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 3: I honestly would. I'd be like, nah, you guys can 309 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 3: run yourselves and because I mean that is a serious 310 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 3: amount of infrastructure that people have to pump into that. Heather, 311 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 3: I start at nine and I worked till four. There's 312 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 3: nothing wrong with that. Maybe if you were more relevant, 313 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 3: you would have an earlier slot. I love you the 314 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 3: burn two. 315 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,359 Speaker 2: Into the day's headlines. 316 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: It's hither duper c Allen drive with one New Zealand 317 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: let's get connected and use dogs. 318 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 2: That'd be. 319 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 3: Government's just released its plan for quarter three. I'm going 320 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 3: to run you through that shortly. I don't think it's 321 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,599 Speaker 3: finished its quarter two plan, but anyway, we'll chat to 322 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 3: Paul Goldsmith about it. I ran you through the detail shortly. 323 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 3: Tucker Carlson, I just want to talk about him quickly. 324 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 3: You know, he of Fox formerly has been in Australia 325 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 3: for the last few days doing a tour at the 326 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 3: invitation of Clive Palmer. Now, his speech in Canberra had 327 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,599 Speaker 3: a whole bunch of press gallery journalists. There's gotten a 328 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 3: bit of publicity because he had a crack at the 329 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 3: media for not focusing on the right things and for 330 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 3: basically just like not being critical enough of the government 331 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 3: of whatever country there and have listened to this. 332 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 12: If you're a journalist. Your job is to challenge power 333 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 12: on behalf of the powerless. It is not to align 334 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 12: with the powerful against the powerless. 335 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 2: And that is. 336 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 12: Precisely what you have done. I watched your ABC this 337 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 12: morning in my hotel room for about twenty minutes until 338 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 12: I looked around for a vomit bag and I watched. 339 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 12: It was one of the most growth. I couldn't even 340 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 12: believe it was real. The first story, this is unbelievable. 341 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 12: The first story. 342 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 3: The first story was a. 343 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 12: Sign God bless them. That is the biggest story. The 344 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 12: second story was a family of four found dead in 345 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 12: a house I think in a suburb of Sydney, but 346 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 12: it may have been Melbourne. I beg your pardon, but 347 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 12: four Australians found dead of what they suspected was to 348 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 12: drug od. Apparently they've been taking a new synthetic opioid 349 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 12: that has emerged in Australian and is killing people. Now, 350 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 12: this is a huge problem where I live, much bigger 351 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 12: than here, so but I'm familiar with it. And the 352 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 12: reporter said, it's probably the synthetic opioid and it's been 353 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 12: seen and they're dead. Onto the next story. The next 354 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 12: story was the Australian government's new law that will require 355 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 12: a prescription to buy nicotine products, and we were treated 356 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 12: to a fifteen minute lecture on ABC whatever the hell 357 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 12: that is about how nicotine is dangerous and we need 358 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 12: to keep it out of the hands of Australians. And 359 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 12: I'm like, wait a second, Nicotine, first of all, is 360 00:14:58,880 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 12: not dangerous. 361 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 3: That's not true. Let's actually incorrect. 362 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 12: You knew nothing about the science A B compared to what, 363 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 12: compared to what. Oh, we have this new synthetic opioid 364 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 12: that's killing people. The government not too concerned. What they're 365 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 12: really concerned about is that people might be using nicotine, 366 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 12: which by the way, has the byproduct of raising testosterol 367 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 12: levels and making people a little harder to command. That's 368 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 12: a massive threat. So this is the point where the 369 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 12: media gets involved and says, wait a second, let's chart 370 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 12: the death toll from vaping versus phentanyl. 371 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 3: Preach, Preach, this is one of my favorite subjects that 372 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 3: we get this group think on, and we just want 373 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 3: these crusty old siggy smokers to stop smoking, and we 374 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 3: throw all of this resource at it. And meanwhile, drugs 375 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 3: out there laced with fentanyl that can kill people and 376 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 3: we hardly care about it. Our priorities are all wrong, 377 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 3: and I just feel like there's such a such a 378 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 3: lesson in there for journalists. Come on, focus on the 379 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 3: right stuff. Never mind the nicotine. Anyway, we'll get onto 380 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 3: the Q three list, next day headlines next time. That's 381 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 3: the less. 382 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: The day's newsmakers talk to Heather first, Heather Duplicy allan 383 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: drive with One New Zealand Let's get Connected and news 384 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: Talk z B. 385 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 3: Heather played the clip of Tucker Carlson mocking our don 386 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 3: I don't think I'm allowed to actually because I think 387 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 3: I think he used the R word. I don't even 388 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 3: know if I can give you like a rhyming word. 389 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 3: It's an our word that's supposed to mock people who 390 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 3: are you know, maybe not altogether. You know, they get 391 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 3: with issues in their heads. Anyway, that word, if I 392 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 3: was to say it out on the radio, would get 393 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 3: me fired. So I'm not going to play you that 394 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 3: that particular clip of Tucker Carlson. However, however, there is 395 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 3: an exchange between him and a journalist of AAP that 396 00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 3: has gone viral in the States for just how much 397 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 3: he rips her. One and she just doesn't give up 398 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 3: a she's persistent as so anyway, I'll play, I'll play. 399 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 3: It's quite extended, so I'll play you some more of 400 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 3: that later on. So the Q three plan, this is 401 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 3: the government's quarterly action planned. This I think is actually 402 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 3: a really smart strategy. I've said this before. It keeps 403 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 3: the amendum going for the government, you know, basically keeps people, 404 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 3: gives people the sense that there's work going on, which 405 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 3: is what is happening. Obviously, some of the stuff, none 406 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 3: of it is new. All of it you're expecting. But 407 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 3: some of the stuff is stuff you're gonna love. So 408 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 3: this this particular quarter, quarter three, they're going to sign 409 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 3: the new speed limit Rule, which will reverse the previous 410 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 3: government's blanket speed limit reductions. They're going to begin public 411 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 3: consultation on reform of the Holidays Act that's important to 412 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 3: a lot of businesses. Launch a military style academy pilot 413 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 3: for serious and persistent young offenders. That's the boot Camps 414 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 3: introduced legis legislation to toughen the sentencing rules. That's basically 415 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 3: tying the judge's hands. That could be less activist passing 416 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 3: the Gang's legislation amendment, build together the coppers more tools 417 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 3: to crack down on the gangs. Release the draft of 418 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,479 Speaker 3: the new year zero to thirteen. That's the whole, basically 419 00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 3: the whole of your school kid, the school kids year, 420 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, lifetime maths and English curriculum learning areas, and 421 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 3: begin targeted testing with teachers and so on and so on. 422 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 3: The only thing is they do. I just think that 423 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 3: they may not have actually finished the last list because 424 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 3: there are three things they didn't do. Take decisions on 425 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 3: measures to increase investment in renewable electricity generation. Take decisions 426 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 3: to implement the Going for Housing Growth Plan while making 427 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 3: the MDR optional for councils. And then commissioner study into 428 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 3: whether they need to reopen Marsden Point oil refinery. We're 429 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 3: going to speak to the Justice Minister, Paul Goldsmith, so 430 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 3: he's got a lot of the stuff that's going on. 431 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 3: He's with us after five o'clock and we'll just get 432 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 3: his take on all of it. Twenty two away from five, it's. 433 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 2: The world wires on news talks. They'd be drive well. 434 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 3: No surprise, it looks like Marine le Penn's far right 435 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 3: National Rally Party has made major gangs and games. In 436 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 3: the snap election in France. The exit polls suggest that 437 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 3: NR has won about thirty four percent of the vote, 438 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 3: which is more than any other party. Here's a French voter. 439 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 13: I think it's concerning that we have people in our 440 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 13: country who vote at extremes. 441 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 12: It used to be more. 442 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 13: Of a small part of the population that we can that 443 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 13: it's kind of a lot of the population votes either 444 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 13: fire rate or either far left. 445 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,360 Speaker 3: An Ossie Labor Party senator has been indefinitely suspended from 446 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 3: caucus for crossing the floor on a vote. Fatima Payment 447 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 3: voted against her party, choosing instead to support a Green 448 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 3: Party motion to recognize the state of Palestine. She's been 449 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 3: suspended until she agrees to vote along Labour party lines 450 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 3: if the issue comes up again. Fatima says she's not 451 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 3: going to be back and down. 452 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 11: We know that the forty seventh Parliament has been the diverse, 453 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 11: the most diverse parliament ever, and you can't have that 454 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 11: diversity in personalities and the representation but not have the 455 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 11: diversity of views. 456 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 3: And finally, firefighters in North Carolina have managed to chase 457 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 3: a three point six meter alligator off the road with 458 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 3: a hose. The gator was blocking traffic at one in 459 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 3: the morning Saturday local time and lunging at every single 460 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 3: car that drove past. The cops got called. They called 461 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 3: in the fire department and after a blasting from the 462 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 3: fire hose, the gator decided to head home. 463 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: International correspondence with ends and eye Insurance Peace of mind 464 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: for New Zealand business. 465 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 3: Hither it rhymes with Leah tad sort of does, sort 466 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 3: of does Oliver Peterson's six PR Perth Life presenters with us. 467 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 7: Now, hey, Ollie get ahead. 468 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 3: So is Fatima payment ever going to come back? 469 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 14: Probably not. But this is really causing massive issues within 470 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 14: the Labor Party because they did not get a conscious 471 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 14: both they are bound by the caucus rules that you 472 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 14: can never cross the floor unless they're given permission to 473 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 14: be able to do so. And as you heard it 474 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 14: there and she was on the ABC Insiders program in 475 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 14: Australia yesterday morning she said, you'll do it. She'll cross 476 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 14: the floor because she's going to vote with her conscience. 477 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 14: Now this is really upset the Prime Minister because it 478 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 14: is the first of July. So he was out and 479 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 14: about this morning trying to spruit the fact that he's 480 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 14: got more cost of living relief for every single Australian 481 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 14: with tax cuts, with electricity credits. And he is really 482 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 14: cheesed off today, Heather, because Fatima payment is dominating the 483 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 14: headlines and dominating the headlines for the fact that not 484 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 14: only does it seem almost archaic that you can't have 485 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 14: your own view and they want to create a very 486 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 14: diverse party that there are obviously many people within the 487 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 14: Labor Party who just hold the caucus rule as the 488 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 14: number one priority and never break the caucus rule. What 489 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 14: was really interesting his moments ago in the Parliament they 490 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 14: swore in the new Governor General, Sam Boston, and Tanya 491 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 14: Plibersk was seen giving Madam mc payman quite a significant 492 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 14: embrace and you know you could sort of lip read 493 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 14: that she was saying everything would be okay. Plib sc 494 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 14: of course to nemesis of Anthony Alberanisi. So when the 495 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 14: polls today showed that the Coalitions ahead on the two 496 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 14: party per third question, the Prime Minister has got a 497 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 14: lot of headaches too. 498 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 3: Right, how's Barnaby going on? You know, giving up the. 499 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 14: Booze, He's done pretty well in only a matter of months. 500 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 14: He says he's lost about fifteen kilograms. 501 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 7: He looks like he's looking. 502 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 14: A lot better, and he said he woke up that 503 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 14: morning after Obviously that video surface, it turns out now 504 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 14: he was not talking to anybody on that mobile phone, 505 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 14: and in fact the mobile phone was upside down. That's 506 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 14: how blind drunk Barnaby Joyce was on the streets of camera. 507 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 14: But he's now admitted that said he's embarrassed, so reckoned 508 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 14: he woke up the next morning. Quit the smokes, quit 509 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 14: the booze, hasn't touched them, and says, look, I might 510 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 14: go back to it at some stage. I think one 511 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 14: of the most interesting comments is he says that all 512 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 14: the functions he goes to now he has to actually 513 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 14: talk to people, and they're really quite boring. We have 514 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 14: to engage with those people he's trying to talk to it. 515 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 14: All the functions of your teens. 516 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, how boozed are they?

Now, 521 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 14: you know, everybody sees across Facebook fake ads, and if 522 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 14: they were going to be running fake ads on newstalg 523 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 14: ZVB or six PR on my radio station where I work, 524 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 14: then we'd be in all sorts of strife for scamming people. 525 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 14: Facebook seems to get away with this, and they use 526 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 14: people like Andrew Twiggy Forest's face, and the algorithm targets 527 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 14: vulnerable people. 528 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 15: They think, O if Andrew forres is, it's okay, I'm 529 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 15: going to all. 530 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 14: Of a sudden give you one thousand dollars in them 531 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 14: my bank accounts cleared out. He's had a bit of 532 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 14: a win here so far in the California courts head, 533 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,880 Speaker 14: which could pay the way now for thousands of cases 534 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 14: coming before Facebook, and just make the basards honest about 535 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 14: who's advertising money. They're taking a two hundred billion dollars 536 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 14: a year company taking in advertising revenue and they don't 537 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 14: actually check it. The cooks who are giving them the 538 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 14: money are legit. This has a widespread ramification around the 539 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 14: world for these social media giants. You need to be 540 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 14: governed like traditional media is your radio station in mind. 541 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a very fair point that you make there, Actually, Ollie, 542 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 3: thank you so much appreciated.

Sixteen away from five. 566 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: Politics with Centrics, Credit, check your customers and get payments. 567 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 3: Certaday Barry Soper, Senior political correspondence with US. Now, Hey, Barry, 568 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 3: good afternoon. What do you make of the third quarter list? 569 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 10: It's interesting, isn't it. All governments come out and you 570 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 10: remember labor one year they called it the year of deliverables, 571 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 10: and delivered during delivered virtually nothing, and that year it 572 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 10: was probably one of their worst years. 573 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 16: Here. 574 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 10: There's always a danger when you come out with lists 575 00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 10: and saying this is what we're going to achieve. But 576 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 10: you've I got to say, and you know, I can't 577 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 10: remember a time when a government has actually tackled most 578 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 10: of the things it said. It's got a whole list 579 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 10: there with a stamp done at its side of thirty six, 580 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,160 Speaker 10: I think there was thirty seven points that they wanted 581 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 10: to achieve in the second quarter. They got thirty six, 582 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 10: but a lot of them are sort of progress of legislation. 583 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 10: And similarly, when you look at the third quarter, it's 584 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 10: like things like releasing the draft of a second missions 585 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 10: reduction plan. Well, you know that's good. It's only a draft, 586 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 10: so it's not actually introducing it. So there's a lot 587 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 10: of sort of soft stuff. 588 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 3: Well, that's marking the steps that they're taking towards the thing. 589 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 10: Right here they are, and you know, you've got to 590 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 10: say that's a pretty good thing. The three components of 591 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 10: the third quarter will be rebuilding the economy and easing 592 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,679 Speaker 10: the cost of living. And there's a lot of steps 593 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 10: that they talk in the budget, of course, that they 594 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 10: would say achieved that restore law and order, the old 595 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 10: gang patches thing, that law will go through, delivering better 596 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 10: public services, what's left of the public service. It'll you know, 597 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 10: there's a number of aspects of that that they've outlined, 598 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 10: and I've got to say Lason was in a positive 599 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:23,400 Speaker 10: spin mode saying the targets set, we'll see better times ahead. 600 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 10: Here is a few minutes ago. 601 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 17: We're doing a lot, as you can see every quarter, 602 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 17: we're being very disciplined about what we are doing and 603 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 17: what we're not doing. And that's the way that we 604 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 17: have to be in order to turn the country around. 605 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,880 Speaker 17: That's what's needed in a turnaround job. But I think 606 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 17: a lot of what we want to do in the 607 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 17: economic space in the coming quarter is get the infrastructure 608 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 17: that we know that we need to get going to 609 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 17: improve the productivity of New Zealand. I know it's tough now, 610 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,959 Speaker 17: but we actually have a fantastic future ahead of us 611 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 17: in this country. 612 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 10: See, I guess the good thing is here that they're 613 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 10: setting targets and they're measuring themselves against the targets. So 614 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 10: if they fail, I'll have to admit it. And by 615 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 10: notating every time I get this forty in the third quarter, 616 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 10: then you know you can measure them against and how 617 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 10: far they've gone to achieve what they say that some of. 618 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 3: The stuff is the end of the matter as well, 619 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 3: the end of the process. About nine of the things 620 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 3: is actually passing the legislation like at its end point 621 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 3: in gazetting things and so on. So it's not a 622 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 3: really bad Yeah, So not a surprise really that the 623 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 3: majority of us, quite the plurality of us, want to 624 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 3: see a new plane. 625 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 10: Yeah, it's a Tibot Mills pole, which is the Labor 626 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 10: Party pollsters. The main supporters, not surprisingly come from the 627 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 10: coalition government parties. If you look at the National supporters, 628 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 10: sixty one percent of them say that we should have 629 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 10: planes that can land when the Prime Minister travels overseas 630 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 10: sixty percent very close again New Zealand first, and fifty 631 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 10: nine percent for ACT. So there's a strong body of 632 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 10: support for new planes from the coalition parties. Look at 633 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 10: the other side, of course, Labour's interesting forty nine percent 634 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 10: that these planes should be replaced. Then you get down 635 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 10: to the Maori Party thirty five percent and the Greens, 636 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 10: of course they would tend to have us out in 637 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 10: rowing boats to get where. 638 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 3: The Green I'll never ever, we don't need to fly 639 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 3: because of the climate and there's no such thing as war. 640 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 10: True that, and so thirty three percent of the Green 641 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 10: say yes they should. But Luxon has been very reluctant, 642 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 10: saying that at a time of the cost of living crisis, 643 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 10: it's very hard to be forking out on planes. 644 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 2: Yep. 645 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 10: And he's but he's got a lot of trips coming 646 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 10: up this year, you know, before the year's out. He's 647 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 10: talking about going to India in the coming months, as 648 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 10: well as the NATO summit in Washington, d c apec 649 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 10: And which is in Peru this year, so there's a 650 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 10: lot of travel. If he doesn't take the air Force plans, 651 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 10: you may not get the same media coverage that Prome 652 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 10: ministers like to have. 653 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 3: You can probably live without it, how about you. I 654 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 3: could yes, yeah, okay, good settled, don't take the media. 655 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 3: Hey what did you think of the Trump Biden debate? Then? 656 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 10: Oh, I've got to say the highlight or the low 657 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 10: light of my weekend. Really, I mean I was watched it, 658 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 10: Like I said on Friday, political tragic. You've got to 659 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 10: sit in front of the television and watch these two men. 660 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 10: One a geriatric and I'm not nothing against elderly people 661 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 10: now a man that's got a real problem, and the 662 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 10: other one is a blatant liar telling so many lies. Basically, 663 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 10: Trump gave seven of the ten longest answers during the 664 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 10: course of the debate. Not surprising either, because he dominated 665 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 10: the microphone more. And it's interesting. You've got moderators there, 666 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 10: but they do nothing. They simply sit there because they've 667 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 10: got the mute buttons, and they don't answer follow up questions, 668 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 10: which is frustrating. The next day, though, I've got to 669 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 10: say in North Carolina, Biden sounded like a totally different person. 670 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 2: Here he is, I like the other guy. 671 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 18: We're going to stand up to Dictator's lake, pruten mer 672 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 18: composed and no one, no one, no one ever. 673 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 2: Did you see Trump last night? I guess he said. 674 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 18: I mean, it's sincerely a new record for the most 675 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 18: lies told of the single debate. 676 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 2: See. 677 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 10: The thing is that we were told he had a 678 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 10: cold the night before. He sounded pretty clearly. 679 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 3: Was that address before four o'clock? Because four o'clock? 680 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. 681 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 3: They do all of it between ten am and four pm, 682 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 3: and then he can still function and sound. Barry, thank 683 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 3: you very much, Barry So for senior political correspondence given 684 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 3: away from five putting the. 685 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: Tough questions to the newspakers, the mic hosking breakfast. 686 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 19: The presidents about seeing the national correspondent at US News 687 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 19: and will report to Olivia. Henry is with us. Could 688 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 19: you believe what you were watching? 689 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 2: No? 690 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 8: No, I could not. We had three and a half 691 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 8: years with President Biden, and those ninety minutes on that 692 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 8: debate stage were easily the worst of his time in 693 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 8: office in terms of his public apparents is speaking and 694 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 8: his general stake it was a terrible performent. 695 00:30:58,520 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 19: Does he stay in the rice? 696 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 8: Yes? I think he done. Family members are encouraging him 697 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 8: to stay in. It would be actually pretty difficult to 698 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 8: remove him against his will. So I think as of 699 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 8: right now he's stays in the race. He has not 700 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 8: given any indication at all that he is having second 701 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 8: thoughts about running back. 702 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 19: Tomorrow at six am, the Mike Hosking Breakfast with Jaguar 703 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 19: mused toald Ziby, Hey. 704 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 3: Do you remember we've been talking about this a little 705 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 3: bit on the program, the gold mining that's going on 706 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 3: near Cromwell, they're on Bendigo station. Well, the OSSI's digging 707 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 3: it up. This is ASX listed Santana Minerals. The ossies 708 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,719 Speaker 3: who are digging it up reckon they have struck one 709 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 3: of the most significant discoveries of unearthed gold in forty 710 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 3: years in New Zealand. They reckon it could produce one 711 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 3: hundred and ten thousand ounces of gold every year over 712 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 3: ten years, and given that the spot price is sitting 713 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 3: at around three thy seven hundred and fifty five dollars 714 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 3: an ounce, that could produce about four billion dollars worth 715 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 3: of export value over the lifetime. Now they're going to 716 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 3: I think they start with an open pit mine and 717 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 3: then they go to the underground mine later on, and 718 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 3: it's cheaper to do the open pit mine, so they 719 00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 3: could have net profits. They reckon about two billion, but 720 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 3: they need money to mine. They need about two hundred 721 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 3: and fifty six million dollars in working capital. We're going 722 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 3: to speak to the chief executive of that in around 723 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 3: about twenty minutes time. Speaking of chief executives, the chief 724 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 3: executive of kying of order has been given as marching orders. 725 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 3: Asn't he this is Andrew McKenzie. Doesn't sound like he's 726 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 3: leaving of his own volition. And the reason I say 727 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 3: that is because the board chair, Simon Mooter has said 728 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 3: he and Andrew McKenzie agreed it was a good time 729 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 3: to step down. And when they put the old agreed 730 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 3: in the press release, you should know that Daddy sat 731 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 3: him down and says the time to go now, Darling, 732 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 3: you're doing a really bad job. 733 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 14: Now. 734 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 3: Maybe he's like he seems like a decent guy and 735 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 3: he seems like he's really smart and stuff. Maybe he's 736 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 3: not doing it. I mean, he's doing a terrible job. 737 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 3: Look he is, but maybe also it's just about optics, right, 738 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 3: like this is the guy who was there under just 739 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 3: Sinda's rain and he was driving terrible, terrible policies and 740 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 3: they need a clean house. Anyway, Simon Mooter's gonna be 741 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 3: with us as well. Just after the half past five news, Heather, 742 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 3: soon you're going to stop going out now that you've 743 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 3: given up that. I haven't given up the booze. I've 744 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 3: just cut right back like I just like like okay, 745 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 3: al sort not like a guzzle, guzzle, do you know 746 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 3: what I mean? Anyway, you're going to stay home and 747 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 3: watch Bridgeton because that's what I've been doing. Andrea, I 748 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 3: know I'm up to the bit where Colin realizes that 749 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 3: he has to go because he loves her, and I'm 750 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 3: up to that bit. I'm up to that bit. So 751 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 3: you are me? I am you. Headline's next. 752 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: The only drive show you can trust to ask the questions, 753 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 1: get the answers, by the facts, and give the analysis, Heather, 754 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: due to Celum Drive with One New Zealand. 755 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 2: Let's get connected and news talk as they'd be. 756 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 3: Hey, good afternoon, the government's released. It's next to do list. 757 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 3: This is the action plan for Q three and a 758 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 3: significant feature is law and order, including passing a Lord 759 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,239 Speaker 3: of how police crack down on gangs, a Lord of 760 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 3: Tough and sentencing, and also launching the boot Camps pilot. 761 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 3: The Justice Minister is Paul Goldsmith. Hey, Paul good Hey, 762 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 3: there you go, very well, thank you. How much of 763 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 3: the forty things on the list are actually going to 764 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 3: be done by the end of Q three. 765 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 20: Well, a number of things are passing. The legislation that 766 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 20: we're working our way through now. Everybody's sort of impatient. 767 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 20: They want the police to have the extra power to 768 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 20: deal with gangs, that they want to deal with the 769 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 20: firearms control. But we do have to pass the legislation 770 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 20: and it's important that it goes through the Select committee process. 771 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 20: People have a chance to talk about it and make 772 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 20: sure that we've got everything right. But a number of 773 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 20: those pieces of legislation will pass in the third quarter 774 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,320 Speaker 20: and then they'll be implemented before the end of the y. 775 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 3: I'm just looking at things that you that just having 776 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 3: a look at it first blush, look like they're actually 777 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 3: going to be past. It's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, 778 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 3: eight nine. Is that about right, nine out of fourteen. 779 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 20: Well, in terms of the list of forty, I seven't 780 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 20: got that list in front of me. But yes, I 781 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 20: mean we're getting through a lot of work. Yes, absolutely, 782 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 20: it's a very busy government. 783 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 3: Is it. Did you manage to finish everything on the 784 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,399 Speaker 3: list for Q two? Because I can see three things 785 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 3: that are not finished. 786 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 20: Well, look useful. I mean not everything has been announced, 787 00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,399 Speaker 20: but we've made decisions and I think just about every 788 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 20: area we got through everything in the first quarter. And 789 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 20: look the Prime Minister, he cracks the whip. There's no 790 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 20: question about that. He's very determined to focus that we 791 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 20: get things done, and he set a high sort of 792 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 20: threshold and we go as fast as we can, always 793 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 20: sort of balancing the need, as I say, to go 794 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 20: with speed, but also to have enough time for people 795 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 20: to have a say on important legislation. And of course 796 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 20: you don't want to be coming back and having to 797 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 20: fix things. So you didn't quite get it right because 798 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 20: you were rushing. So there's always at tension that we've got. 799 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 3: So one of the three things that you don't seem 800 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 3: to have done with for the last list was to 801 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 3: commission the study into Marsden Point oil refinerund whether to 802 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 3: reopen it and not? Why not? 803 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 20: Well, I look, there would be something that Change Jones 804 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,439 Speaker 20: is working his way through, and I don't have any 805 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:47,879 Speaker 20: particular insight into that. Yes, so yep, Well, I think 806 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 20: people will be pleased that we're actually making progress on 807 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,240 Speaker 20: the very big things, which is restoring law and order 808 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 20: is right off the top. 809 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 3: I'm only asking you because that one seems easy. I mean, 810 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,320 Speaker 3: you disappoint some people to do the study. 811 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 8: Don't you. 812 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 20: Well, there may be there's probably a very good reason, 813 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 20: but I don't have it on me at the moment. 814 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 3: Now, as the Justice Minister, are you prepared to beef 815 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 3: up year three strikes law? 816 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 20: Well, look, look that the basic engine there, and Nicole McKee, 817 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 20: my colleague, is shippening this through. The basic tension is 818 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 20: that you can go absolutely hard out, but you face 819 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 20: the reality that Heaven forbidden twelve years time when we 820 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 20: get trying out at the next election and the next 821 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 20: government will sort of overturn it in. 822 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 3: You come on, You're not using that lame argument for 823 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,959 Speaker 3: anything else that you're doing. The fact of the matter 824 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 3: is you guys are going to get absolute pressure from 825 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 3: people when people start to cotton on on how watered 826 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,240 Speaker 3: down this is. You're going to get a lot of emails, 827 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,360 Speaker 3: very cross. 828 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,719 Speaker 20: I don't think it's just ensuring all The only different 829 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 20: fundamental difference is ensuring that strike offenses are for offenses 830 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 20: when people have actually been in prison for twenty four months. 831 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 20: And you know the whole purpose of it is to 832 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 20: keep our worst repeat offenders off the street for longer 833 00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,439 Speaker 20: so that they can harm New Zealanders. And I think 834 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,719 Speaker 20: that that threshold at twenty four months. 835 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,439 Speaker 3: Is already to take insurance. Are you prepared to beef 836 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:06,760 Speaker 3: it up there? Are you open minded? 837 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,240 Speaker 20: Well, of course, well, that's why we're having a select 838 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 20: committee process, and so people can have an argument it 839 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,399 Speaker 20: could be eighteen months or could be twenty four. Well, yeah, 840 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 20: we're not completely closed minded on these things. But I 841 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 20: think it does need to be a higher threshold than 842 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 20: it had in the pasted in the first operation, if 843 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 20: only to increase the chances that we get some measure 844 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 20: of Biparlisan support for this and so we can have 845 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 20: a more I think that's the broad issue, is to 846 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 20: try and improve our chances of having something that can last, 847 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,320 Speaker 20: you know, last over across governments which we failed to 848 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 20: a chief last time around. That's why it's important to 849 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:41,320 Speaker 20: have this discussion. 850 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 3: Paul, thank you so much for your time. Appreciate it. 851 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 3: As Paul Goldsmith, the Justice Minister. 852 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 2: Heather do for clans please. 853 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,760 Speaker 3: Rejecting the latest funding from Health New Zealand, saying it's inadequate. 854 00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 3: They're warning the crisis in the GP sector is now 855 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,320 Speaker 3: so bad that some practices may even go out of business. 856 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 3: And Brian Betty is the Chair of General Practice New 857 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 3: Zealand and with us. Now, hey, Brian, okay, So House 858 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 3: New Zealand is offering you this time around a four 859 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,279 Speaker 3: percent increase in funding and then allowing you to put 860 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 3: up your existing fees by nearly eight percent. Is that 861 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 3: not enough? 862 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:09,759 Speaker 12: Oh? 863 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 21: Look, there was a report done two years ago called 864 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:17,240 Speaker 21: the Sapare Report that identified that over the last decade 865 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,840 Speaker 21: of two there was an underfunding of general practice between 866 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 21: ten and twenty percent. So all this does is go 867 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,360 Speaker 21: some way towards the CPI or cost increases over the 868 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 21: last year. It doesn't actually fix the undefined underlying deficit 869 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:34,439 Speaker 21: which is getting worse over time. 870 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,719 Speaker 3: Now, how New Zealand obviously don't have the money right, 871 00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:38,760 Speaker 3: They don't even have the money to hire the necessary 872 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 3: staff to run the new building that they've opened at 873 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 3: north Shore Hospitals. They certainly don't have money for GPS, 874 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,400 Speaker 3: so surely the only answer is simply to give you 875 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 3: a bit, but let you charge us more. Is that 876 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:49,360 Speaker 3: not the solution? 877 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 21: Well, that may be the solution, but what happens in 878 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 21: New Zealand is the government fixes the price increases, so 879 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 21: we for a general practice that has to compensate by 880 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,560 Speaker 21: increasing fees to patients, which is something no practice wants 881 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 21: to do. They actually have to apply to the government 882 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,840 Speaker 21: to Health New Zealand to have that approved. So everything 883 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,839 Speaker 21: is actually capped by the government. So both what they've 884 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 21: give in terms of capitation, the underlying funding or the 885 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,759 Speaker 21: subsidy plus what we can charge the patient. It's not 886 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,759 Speaker 21: a free free market at all. It is capped by 887 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:23,240 Speaker 21: the government. 888 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 3: When is this going to get fixed? 889 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,400 Speaker 21: Well, look, I mean the present minister has indicated that 890 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,320 Speaker 21: his focus is on twenty five twenty six. He actually 891 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 21: understands the problem that has built up over the last 892 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,400 Speaker 21: ten twenty years because this has been a long standing 893 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 21: issue that we have been raising with the government consistently, 894 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 21: and he set his focuses on next year's budget, so 895 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,880 Speaker 21: we'll have to wait and see. But the issue at 896 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 21: the moment is there are a number of practices around 897 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,720 Speaker 21: the country now that are actually operating at a loss. 898 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,360 Speaker 21: There are gps out there at the moment who are 899 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,200 Speaker 21: not paying themselves so they can continue to pay their staff. 900 00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,759 Speaker 21: The situation is actually getting worse and where we are 901 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,320 Speaker 21: reaching a crisis with us, Brian. 902 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:07,319 Speaker 3: If gps could make up the money by charging us more, 903 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 3: how much more would they need to charge us? 904 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 21: Well, look, as I said, the Sapiro report indicated that 905 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 21: on average, most general practice and practices were underfunded to 906 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,719 Speaker 21: the tune of ten to twenty percent. High needs practices 907 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 21: that is, in rural areas or serving high needs high 908 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 21: needs areas were underfunded both between thirty four and two 909 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 21: hundred percent. It was quite out of staggering what the 910 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:37,319 Speaker 21: report indicated. So look, it would have to increase substantially, 911 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 21: and that's part of the issue, and that is obviously 912 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 21: not good for patients. For a lot of patients, they 913 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:47,280 Speaker 21: can't afford those types of increases and it's certainly something 914 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:48,399 Speaker 21: we don't want to see happen. 915 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 3: Brian, Thank you very much, best like dealing with us. 916 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 3: It's Brian Beatty, the chair of General Practice New Zealand 917 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 3: Heller Duper see Allen lux and Chris Luxon has just 918 00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 3: said at the post cabinet press conference that he is 919 00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,919 Speaker 3: open to investing more money and why and he notes 920 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 3: the need for an inquiry into the actions of the 921 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 3: Hawks Bay Regional Council. Now, I don't know if you 922 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,480 Speaker 3: caught this, because this news emerged late on Thursday when 923 00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 3: most of us were probably heading off to our long 924 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,360 Speaker 3: weekends and stuff. But it appears that what happened in 925 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 3: wide Awe with the flooding, this is outrageous. Frankly. It 926 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,720 Speaker 3: appears that what happened in wide Or with the flooding 927 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 3: was that Hawks Bay Regional Council didn't clear the bar 928 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 3: at the river. So the bar there every time as 929 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:27,799 Speaker 3: the river flows out to the sea. Every time they 930 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 3: get bad weather coming, they go and get the contractors 931 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:31,799 Speaker 3: and they start clearing the bar just to let as 932 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,719 Speaker 3: much water out as possible. This time, though they knew 933 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,399 Speaker 3: that the bad weather was coming, they left it till 934 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,279 Speaker 3: a day before the weather hit, and they only got 935 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 3: the contractor in twenty four hours before and he was 936 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:41,879 Speaker 3: like there's no way I was going to be able 937 00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 3: to clear this stuff. Now, why this is outrageous is 938 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 3: because these guys are repeat offenders, aren't they our friends 939 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,920 Speaker 3: at Hawks Bay Regional Council. They are the very ones 940 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 3: who failed to evacuate ESK Valley when actually, when you 941 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,279 Speaker 3: look back, they knew that they needed to evacuate ESQ 942 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,279 Speaker 3: Valley and if they didn't know, then they were just supid. 943 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,360 Speaker 3: And you might recall that we had a council chairperson, 944 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:07,040 Speaker 3: Hinawai Almsby, on this show after the report was released, 945 00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 3: the micro Bush report, and she did not know a 946 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,880 Speaker 3: single thing. And I looked at that situation and all 947 00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,400 Speaker 3: the texts came in and we all looked at Hanawai 948 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 3: and we went, well, that's going to happen again. Oh well, 949 00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:18,640 Speaker 3: what a surprise, that's happened again. So absolutely we need 950 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 3: an inquiry into that because this lot may need to 951 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:24,520 Speaker 3: actually just have like the duties taken off them. Frankly, 952 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,040 Speaker 3: if you're going to put people's lives at risk and 953 00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,920 Speaker 3: their property at risk, you might not actually need to 954 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,919 Speaker 3: be in charge of that. I'm gonna speak to Nicola Willis, 955 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,120 Speaker 3: the Finance Minister, about it after six five sixteen.

We actually raised thirty odd million dollars back in 1000 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,880 Speaker 15: May and that will take us through to a final 1001 00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,160 Speaker 15: investment decision, hopefully sometime in the new year. 1002 00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 3: I'm just trying to find a way in for myself here, Damien. 1003 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:41,279 Speaker 3: Have you done? 1004 00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:42,319 Speaker 2: Have you done? 1005 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,440 Speaker 3: Are you guys going to be going for the fast track. 1006 00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:48,920 Speaker 15: Consenting our Look, we're on track to some of our 1007 00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,400 Speaker 15: application under the RMA by the end of this year. 1008 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,879 Speaker 15: It's the fast track approvals spill is passed by then, 1009 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,680 Speaker 15: and it suits what we're aiming to do, then certainly 1010 00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 15: we'll look. 1011 00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,000 Speaker 3: At it and when do you reckon you could get 1012 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,360 Speaker 3: it started? What's the soonest? 1013 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,520 Speaker 15: Well, you'd have to take the lead from the fast 1014 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,080 Speaker 15: rate Bill, and if they do put it in for 1015 00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:12,839 Speaker 15: the end of the year, I believe the decision would 1016 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,719 Speaker 15: be within come back within six months. So we're making 1017 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:20,040 Speaker 15: decision halfway through next year on that basis, Let's see what. 1018 00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,439 Speaker 3: Happens, Damian. Obviously there are going to be places around 1019 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:23,960 Speaker 3: the country that are going to get a lot more 1020 00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,880 Speaker 3: attract a lot more protests than others. I would imagine 1021 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,719 Speaker 3: that given that yours is on privately owned land, it 1022 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,279 Speaker 3: won't be too much of a headache, will it. 1023 00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,000 Speaker 15: I'm not sure. Which we just have to deal with 1024 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,839 Speaker 15: what's in front of us. Yep, it's on private land. 1025 00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 15: I guess the community wants to know what our proposal 1026 00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,840 Speaker 15: is all about. And we've been spending the last a 1027 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:50,040 Speaker 15: couple of months actually getting that engagement underway, and we've 1028 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,279 Speaker 15: still got a lot of work to do between now 1029 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:52,960 Speaker 15: and the end of the year. 1030 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,480 Speaker 3: Damien, good stuff, Good luck with it. Damien Spring, the 1031 00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,520 Speaker 3: chief executive at Santana Minerals, it's five twenty two. 1032 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,640 Speaker 1: To get the answers you need, have the duple c 1033 00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:06,239 Speaker 1: Allen drive with one New Zealand let's get connected and 1034 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:07,279 Speaker 1: news talk as they'd be. 1035 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,719 Speaker 3: I to let the GP put the prices up, keep 1036 00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,040 Speaker 3: the prices low for Community Service cardholders and the Gold 1037 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:13,640 Speaker 3: card holders, and the rest of us could just suck 1038 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:15,840 Speaker 3: up the extra costs. Very generous of you, Ben, I 1039 00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 3: tend to agree. Actually five five did you watch the 1040 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:21,680 Speaker 3: Trump Biden debate? 1041 00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:21,920 Speaker 18: Then? 1042 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,200 Speaker 3: That was that was excruciating, wasn't it. That was so 1043 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 3: tough to watch. At one point I was literally watching 1044 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,640 Speaker 3: it through my fingers because I'd already covered my face 1045 00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:32,040 Speaker 3: with my hands. It was that bloody awkward. 1046 00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,839 Speaker 18: And it was this bit making sure that we're able 1047 00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:39,799 Speaker 18: to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've 1048 00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:43,640 Speaker 18: been able to do with the COVID, I exculd be 1049 00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:49,279 Speaker 18: with dealing with everything we have to do with What 1050 00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,120 Speaker 18: if we finally beat Medicare. 1051 00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:55,759 Speaker 3: That's what I'm going to do next Mo Mandy, to 1052 00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:57,279 Speaker 3: save myself from something. I'm just gonna be like, we 1053 00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:58,400 Speaker 3: finally beat Medicare. 1054 00:46:58,960 --> 00:46:59,520 Speaker 2: Holy. 1055 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,440 Speaker 3: The amazing thing about it or it never gets tired, 1056 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,240 Speaker 3: does it? It's as bad as the first time. Anyway. 1057 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:06,960 Speaker 3: The amazing thing about it is that this is day 1058 00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,480 Speaker 3: four now of calls for Biden to stand down, which 1059 00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:11,200 Speaker 3: is a serious amount of pressure being put on the man, 1060 00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,239 Speaker 3: and there is still no indication from within the top 1061 00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:15,680 Speaker 3: ranks of his party that they're going to make him 1062 00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,320 Speaker 3: stand down. And if you read what's going on behind 1063 00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,080 Speaker 3: the scenes, like about the Saturday phone call between the 1064 00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,279 Speaker 3: top members of the Democratic Party and the committee members 1065 00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,080 Speaker 3: across the States, it sounds like they don't even realize 1066 00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:27,840 Speaker 3: how bad it is. I mean, the message out of 1067 00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:29,160 Speaker 3: that call from the people who were on it and 1068 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,319 Speaker 3: were shocked was that the top guys are not taking 1069 00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:35,040 Speaker 3: seriously what happened. They do not realize that the world 1070 00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:36,960 Speaker 3: thinks that the guy that they're running for president is 1071 00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:40,160 Speaker 3: going senile. They didn't think that that's what we could 1072 00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:41,759 Speaker 3: all see. And it's not that we met it. I mean, 1073 00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:43,360 Speaker 3: we don't get to vote. They don't think that's what 1074 00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 3: the American voter saw. So while my gut says politically 1075 00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,280 Speaker 3: he's got to go, everything I'm reading out of the states, 1076 00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,719 Speaker 3: from the top commentators right through to the credible publications 1077 00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,279 Speaker 3: say chances are he staying in the race. How nuts 1078 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,680 Speaker 3: is that? I mean, I tell you what, I am 1079 00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:00,560 Speaker 3: happy to make one prediction, which is that if he 1080 00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:02,759 Speaker 3: does run, and the chances are that he does run, 1081 00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,480 Speaker 3: he loses to Trump because it's really hard to see 1082 00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,640 Speaker 3: America electing a guy who's only going to become more 1083 00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,319 Speaker 3: and more senile over the next four years. If they 1084 00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:12,759 Speaker 3: do manage to get rid of him and replace him, 1085 00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,439 Speaker 3: it's still not a great situation for the Democrats, because 1086 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:16,920 Speaker 3: Trump will make a feast of the fact that he's 1087 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,959 Speaker 3: running against their second choice. Now, but surely I would 1088 00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,080 Speaker 3: think that that's better for their party because at least 1089 00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,719 Speaker 3: the Democrats themselves can retain some credibility. I mean, if 1090 00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,680 Speaker 3: they run a guy who's going gaga while pretending he's 1091 00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:31,400 Speaker 3: not going gaga. When everybody can see that he's going gaga, 1092 00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:37,160 Speaker 3: they are gonna look ridiculous. Ever, dup ce Allen Inter 1093 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,239 Speaker 3: Island a Fairies are canceled. So from tomorrow night a 1094 00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:44,480 Speaker 3: thirty until the eight forty five sailing on Thursday, all 1095 00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,360 Speaker 3: the inter Island Fairies are canceled. This is because of 1096 00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:47,919 Speaker 3: the bad weather that's hitting that part of the world. 1097 00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,600 Speaker 3: Swells between four and six meters of forecast and the 1098 00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:53,000 Speaker 3: cockstrait and stuff. This is the weird thing. Though, keep 1099 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,840 Speaker 3: an eye on this. The Blue Bridge Fairies are still operating, 1100 00:48:56,480 --> 00:49:00,560 Speaker 3: so either either Bluebridge have got to all go cancel 1101 00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:04,080 Speaker 3: or interrupt. Something even worse is going on with Into Islander. Anyway, 1102 00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,239 Speaker 3: We're going to talk next to Simon mut who's the 1103 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,440 Speaker 3: chair of Kayinga Order because the CEO is leaving in October. 1104 00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:12,320 Speaker 3: I think he's been told to go as Andy. So 1105 00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:13,960 Speaker 3: we'll find out Headline's next. 1106 00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,640 Speaker 1: Ye find your smart speaker on the iHeart app and 1107 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:22,359 Speaker 1: in your car on your drive home. 1108 00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:25,640 Speaker 2: Hither dup to see allan drive with One New Zealand. 1109 00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:35,400 Speaker 1: Let's get connected and news talk z' besiding. 1110 00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,640 Speaker 3: We've put a huddles standing by Tris Shurson and Richard 1111 00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:40,480 Speaker 3: Hell's This Seavenoning. Nichola Willis is going to be with 1112 00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:41,360 Speaker 3: us after six o'clock. 1113 00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:41,920 Speaker 2: We'll ask her what. 1114 00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:43,480 Speaker 3: She's going to do about the GPS, if there's any 1115 00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:45,879 Speaker 3: more money, or what the solution is for that. Hither 1116 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:47,800 Speaker 3: in regards to Biden, if he does drop out and 1117 00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,239 Speaker 3: they replace both Biden and Harris, they still need to 1118 00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:52,520 Speaker 3: return all donations and start again, and replacing with Harris 1119 00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:54,520 Speaker 3: certainly isn't a winning option. This is the problem down 1120 00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,319 Speaker 3: It's Dan makes an excellent point. It's just so complicated 1121 00:49:57,680 --> 00:49:59,680 Speaker 3: once you start doing this, and they probably just that 1122 00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,120 Speaker 3: they're overthinking it. I think they're overthinking it. I mean 1123 00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,000 Speaker 3: the obvious thing is get rid of the senile one, 1124 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,640 Speaker 3: just sub anybody else and it would be a better situation. 1125 00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:09,440 Speaker 3: But they're thinking about all the you know, all of 1126 00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:13,320 Speaker 3: the admin. It's just really difficult. Actually, we're going to 1127 00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,400 Speaker 3: have a chat to Shane Soley of Harbor Asset Management 1128 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,320 Speaker 3: about the implication of that debate on the markets, and 1129 00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:20,200 Speaker 3: he will be with us just before the half past 1130 00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:22,160 Speaker 3: six news.

Was he just 1153 00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:24,200 Speaker 3: not up to it? 1154 00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,440 Speaker 5: He's very I think he's been a very effective CEO, 1155 00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:30,839 Speaker 5: and I think if you look back at his achievements 1156 00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:34,960 Speaker 5: there were many. He's done a terrific job. He was 1157 00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:38,320 Speaker 5: there at the birth of the king Or organization and 1158 00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:45,880 Speaker 5: led the organization. Yeah, he's done an amazing job building 1159 00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:51,320 Speaker 5: the biggest construction program for new for residential in New Zealand. 1160 00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:55,520 Speaker 5: The organization will deliver around three and a half thousand 1161 00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:58,040 Speaker 5: new homes this year. Was an extraordinary achievement. 1162 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,360 Speaker 3: But then KO is massively and so was that that smart? 1163 00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:05,400 Speaker 5: Well, No, that's the that's the financial settings that are 1164 00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,200 Speaker 5: agreed with the government. That new construction is funded one 1165 00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:11,760 Speaker 5: hundred percent by debt. So that's that's been a decision 1166 00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:15,920 Speaker 5: made between all of the parties, the ministries are and 1167 00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:20,480 Speaker 5: kying Or over the last few years. And if you 1168 00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:23,879 Speaker 5: build a lot of houses, you will increase the debt. 1169 00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,920 Speaker 5: And now that debt's becoming expensive to service and that's 1170 00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,840 Speaker 5: part of why the government and the Independent Review have 1171 00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:32,160 Speaker 5: called for a new plan that makes sure we live 1172 00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:36,160 Speaker 5: with inside a manageable debt cap and that we run 1173 00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:39,680 Speaker 5: the business in a financially sustainable way. And we'll be 1174 00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:41,360 Speaker 5: delivering that report in November. 1175 00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:42,759 Speaker 15: How we're going to do it. 1176 00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,319 Speaker 3: What's kind of been lost in the story with Andrew 1177 00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:47,920 Speaker 3: McKenzie today is that there's also five board members who 1178 00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:49,680 Speaker 3: have quit. Why did they all leave it once? 1179 00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:54,040 Speaker 5: Well, no, the board, some of the board members we're 1180 00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:54,960 Speaker 5: in the process ses. 1181 00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,120 Speaker 15: You know, the review report. 1182 00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:02,320 Speaker 5: Recommended there be a refresh of the board. So the Minister, 1183 00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:06,600 Speaker 5: the Ministry and I have been working through those changes. 1184 00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,800 Speaker 5: There will be a set of new board members appointed 1185 00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:13,800 Speaker 5: later this week. And and some of the board members 1186 00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:19,280 Speaker 5: who who finished up yesterday their terms had actually ended 1187 00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,840 Speaker 5: some time ago and we're just staying on for this 1188 00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:30,160 Speaker 5: process to take its course. And one had resigned of 1189 00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:33,600 Speaker 5: their own volition earlier. So I think it's just that 1190 00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:37,200 Speaker 5: change process occurring now, which was called for in the report. 1191 00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:41,200 Speaker 3: Simon Ko has earned a really bad reputation of late. 1192 00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:42,440 Speaker 3: Do you think it's all deserved? 1193 00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:49,520 Speaker 5: Look, I think the independent review particularly called out governance issues, 1194 00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:53,839 Speaker 5: and governance in a state owned business is complex. It's 1195 00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:57,880 Speaker 5: a three legged stool between the you know, the government ministers, 1196 00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:02,919 Speaker 5: the monitoring units, the board and you know, I can see, 1197 00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,120 Speaker 5: I can see how things have gone wrong in there, 1198 00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:08,600 Speaker 5: and they've rightly been called out and it's my job 1199 00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:12,400 Speaker 5: to help get those sort of But actually operationally, I 1200 00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:16,200 Speaker 5: think king Ura does a pretty sound job. It's not 1201 00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:20,319 Speaker 5: an easy job running seventy three thousand homes with two 1202 00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:23,680 Speaker 5: hundred thousand New Zealanders in them, and many of whom 1203 00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:27,560 Speaker 5: have special and demanding needs. And so you know, I 1204 00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,200 Speaker 5: think from what I've seen in my short time involved, 1205 00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:36,400 Speaker 5: it's actually a pretty well organized business and managed by 1206 00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:38,759 Speaker 5: people who really do care and want to do a 1207 00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:40,960 Speaker 5: great job. And that's a good platform to build from. 1208 00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:42,840 Speaker 3: Simon, thank you so much for your time. Appreciate and 1209 00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:44,600 Speaker 3: best of luck turning this thing around. That Simon moved 1210 00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:45,640 Speaker 3: to the coying auto chair. 1211 00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:50,839 Speaker 1: The huddle with New Zealand Southeby's international realty, unparalleled reach 1212 00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:51,640 Speaker 1: and results. 1213 00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:53,680 Speaker 3: I'm huddled with me this evening got Trius Shurson, Shirson 1214 00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:56,120 Speaker 3: Willis pr and Richard Hill's Auckland councilor Hello, are you 1215 00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:56,920 Speaker 3: too sured? 1216 00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:57,399 Speaker 22: Hello? 1217 00:54:57,960 --> 00:54:59,960 Speaker 3: What do we Trish do about Joe Biden? 1218 00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:04,960 Speaker 23: Well, it's up to Joe Biden. That's the Democrats problem, 1219 00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:09,400 Speaker 23: isn't it. He has to make the call about giving 1220 00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:13,400 Speaker 23: up his run for president, and from all accounts, he 1221 00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:17,320 Speaker 23: is very stubborn and it's unlikely that he will do 1222 00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:20,920 Speaker 23: that easily. We sat around on Saturday with a group 1223 00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,440 Speaker 23: of people watching the debate, and I have to say 1224 00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:27,240 Speaker 23: as a debate went on, the group got quieter and quieter, 1225 00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:30,759 Speaker 23: And I think for two reasons. One is that it's 1226 00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,560 Speaker 23: not just worrying for the United States that there is 1227 00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:38,960 Speaker 23: such an unedifying race for president between a confused octagenarian 1228 00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,080 Speaker 23: versus a liar and a convicted. 1229 00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:45,479 Speaker 14: Felon, but also what that means for the world. 1230 00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:48,320 Speaker 23: And there was a great line in that debate actually 1231 00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:52,280 Speaker 23: that not only are the US's allies, but the enemies 1232 00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,799 Speaker 23: are watching that debate, and you would have to say 1233 00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:59,120 Speaker 23: that the US is in a very difficult place. I 1234 00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:02,280 Speaker 23: think Democrats after the debate, they're now breaking the emergency 1235 00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:05,680 Speaker 23: glass and seeing, you know, is there any way that 1236 00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:09,400 Speaker 23: they can get another candidate up. But you know, if 1237 00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:11,880 Speaker 23: you think you had you had Donald Trump in that 1238 00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:16,160 Speaker 23: debate saying that the world is closer to World War 1239 00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:17,879 Speaker 23: three than anyone knows. 1240 00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:22,200 Speaker 3: I mean, it's just so frightening and true, isn't it. Richard? 1241 00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:24,000 Speaker 3: Do you think Biden can win? 1242 00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:24,960 Speaker 18: Oh? 1243 00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:25,719 Speaker 16: I don't know. 1244 00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:27,520 Speaker 4: I didn't watch the debate because I knew it was 1245 00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:30,200 Speaker 4: going to be terrible. It's getting to the point where 1246 00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:32,160 Speaker 4: it's going to be weekend at Bernie's for the next debate, 1247 00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:34,000 Speaker 4: and they just roll him in, you know, like it 1248 00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:34,600 Speaker 4: it is. 1249 00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:36,560 Speaker 3: Really terrible dead body. 1250 00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, well it's like not hopefully not dead, but you know, 1251 00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:42,360 Speaker 4: it did feel like people are having to, you know, 1252 00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:44,800 Speaker 4: take him off the stage bring him on like and 1253 00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:47,279 Speaker 4: you could tell he just couldn't cope with what was 1254 00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:49,560 Speaker 4: going on. And that is he's got to last four 1255 00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:51,480 Speaker 4: years if he does win, and he's got to be 1256 00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:55,719 Speaker 4: making the most important significant decisions for the country. And 1257 00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:58,920 Speaker 4: you've got, as Trius says, someone that is absolutely deranged 1258 00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,719 Speaker 4: on the other side, who is dangerous. So I mean, 1259 00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:04,080 Speaker 4: if you've just heard someone say, oh, is they're electing 1260 00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,960 Speaker 4: an administration like the people around Joe will do, and 1261 00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:09,920 Speaker 4: that's correct that there will be at least a coherent 1262 00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:11,759 Speaker 4: group of people around him, but that's not what you're 1263 00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,920 Speaker 4: actually electing. You're electing a resident. And it is scary, 1264 00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:16,600 Speaker 4: it is sad, and it is worrying. 1265 00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:17,800 Speaker 20: You know. 1266 00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:19,680 Speaker 4: Yes, there was the speech the next day that I 1267 00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:22,480 Speaker 4: was like, oh, there he goes again. But if someone 1268 00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:26,040 Speaker 4: cannot string a sentence together or really know what he's 1269 00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:28,840 Speaker 4: talking about on the first debate at the beginning of 1270 00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,480 Speaker 4: a campaign. This is going to be really tiring next 1271 00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:34,280 Speaker 4: to someone who's just lies and yeah, I'm worried for 1272 00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:37,200 Speaker 4: America and and US again, Like it's just exhausting the 1273 00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:38,760 Speaker 4: last ten years watching. 1274 00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:40,120 Speaker 3: Do you think Trish that he can win. 1275 00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:45,240 Speaker 23: I don't think he can. I mean, the biggest issue 1276 00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:49,480 Speaker 23: that Democratic voters have had with Biden is his age. 1277 00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:54,560 Speaker 23: That's really his itchilles heel. And also voters who have 1278 00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,320 Speaker 23: left Trump, particularly women voters who have left Trump over 1279 00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:02,680 Speaker 23: the over the abortion laws and the overturning of Roe 1280 00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:07,720 Speaker 23: versus Wade, they are very worried about Biden's age, and 1281 00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:10,520 Speaker 23: I just don't think it's something that he can overcome. 1282 00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:14,400 Speaker 23: The debate was disastrous for that. But the other issue 1283 00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:16,960 Speaker 23: that it really shows up in US politics is it 1284 00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:20,640 Speaker 23: has turned into a gerontocracy. If you think about the 1285 00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:25,760 Speaker 23: number of quite elderly senior politicians, not just you know, 1286 00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:30,120 Speaker 23: in the presidential race, but at the upper echelons. For 1287 00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:33,200 Speaker 23: a country that should be sort of young and fresh 1288 00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:37,680 Speaker 23: and energetic, their politics tells a totally different story. 1289 00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:40,320 Speaker 4: Yeah too, right, three hundred and twenty million people and 1290 00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:43,439 Speaker 4: they've got those two candidates is pretty sad. 1291 00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:46,040 Speaker 3: It is quite bizarre, isn't it. Hey, Richard, have you 1292 00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:48,960 Speaker 3: had a look at the government's forty point plan for 1293 00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:50,000 Speaker 3: the next quarter? 1294 00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:53,280 Speaker 4: Yes, Ihad, what's your favorite one? I think the twenty 1295 00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:56,040 Speaker 4: that start with or take something to cabinet. Yeah, I 1296 00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:59,280 Speaker 4: mean some of the cabinet decisions. Take cabinet cabinet decisions. 1297 00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,120 Speaker 4: I mean the start saying you know, we will, we 1298 00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:03,920 Speaker 4: will make sure we turn up. 1299 00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:05,040 Speaker 2: I mean, I get it. 1300 00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:07,120 Speaker 4: It's kind of good to have a plan, but all 1301 00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:11,320 Speaker 4: government should. It is a bit like listing things that, yes, 1302 00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:14,040 Speaker 4: you should be doing these things. Take a thing to cabinet. 1303 00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:16,520 Speaker 4: I think the worst, Oh, I can't find it. One 1304 00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:19,920 Speaker 4: of it was so like introduce a business case to 1305 00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:22,080 Speaker 4: get the business you have a look for that. 1306 00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,320 Speaker 3: Trish Well. I sort of feel like the novelty. I mean, 1307 00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:26,160 Speaker 3: I think it's a great strategy, but the novelty's wearing 1308 00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:26,960 Speaker 3: off a weebit isn't it. 1309 00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:29,000 Speaker 2: It might do. 1310 00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:32,000 Speaker 23: I mean I think again that the you know, this 1311 00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:35,000 Speaker 23: is just my guess, but it feels like one of 1312 00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:38,520 Speaker 23: the drivers of this government doing it is because it's 1313 00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:42,280 Speaker 23: a It's a great juxtaposition against the last segment, which 1314 00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:46,400 Speaker 23: there wasn't a plan. There weren't any measures, and they 1315 00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:48,920 Speaker 23: just seem to muddle through and come up up with 1316 00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:52,400 Speaker 23: random press releases and headlines all the time. And probably 1317 00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:54,720 Speaker 23: for someone like Lux and you know there's that great 1318 00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:56,760 Speaker 23: old rule in business, if you don't measure it, you 1319 00:59:56,880 --> 01:00:00,240 Speaker 23: can't manage it. Yeah, and despite you know what you 1320 01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:03,479 Speaker 23: might say about the merit of what's in the list, 1321 01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:08,040 Speaker 23: this also gives them a roadmap for their comms for 1322 01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:11,720 Speaker 23: each quarter so that they can have real clarity. And 1323 01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:14,240 Speaker 23: each of those see here, those focus for the key 1324 01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:18,720 Speaker 23: cabinet ministers. And again it keeps those key cabinet ministers 1325 01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:21,280 Speaker 23: on their toes because even saying I've got, you know, 1326 01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:25,200 Speaker 23: taking these papers to cabinet, well, that means the ministers 1327 01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:29,240 Speaker 23: responsible have to get their stuff together. They get those 1328 01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:32,720 Speaker 23: papers into cabinet and keep progress moving. 1329 01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:34,000 Speaker 3: Yeah did you find it, Richard? 1330 01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:34,320 Speaker 16: Yeah? 1331 01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:37,400 Speaker 4: It was take cabinet decisions on the program business case, 1332 01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:41,720 Speaker 4: including costs benefit analysis for a proposed third medical school 1333 01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:43,320 Speaker 4: at Wycott or unicorns. 1334 01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:45,680 Speaker 3: Which doesn't mean we're going to get the final answer, 1335 01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:47,520 Speaker 3: but we're going to take some decisions. But that's all right. 1336 01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:49,440 Speaker 3: Take the decisions at the stage where will come back 1337 01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:51,040 Speaker 3: to these two thirteen away from six. 1338 01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:56,560 Speaker 1: The Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's international realty, unparalleled reach 1339 01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:57,440 Speaker 1: and results. 1340 01:00:57,560 --> 01:00:59,200 Speaker 3: Right back on the Huddle with Me got Treshurson and 1341 01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:03,200 Speaker 3: Richard Hill's should sounds like Andrew McKenzie was told to quit, 1342 01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:03,720 Speaker 3: willn't they? 1343 01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:06,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, it does sound like from that interview. I mean 1344 01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:08,560 Speaker 4: he's been there over eight years. It's a pretty long 1345 01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:10,920 Speaker 4: time for CEO, and if they are doing wholesale change, 1346 01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:13,960 Speaker 4: it's pretty hard to keep someone at the top to 1347 01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:14,800 Speaker 4: do the same job. 1348 01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:17,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was necessary, wasn't it trash? Because this 1349 01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:19,560 Speaker 3: place has just got such a bad reputation they needed 1350 01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:20,360 Speaker 3: to complete clean out. 1351 01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:25,600 Speaker 23: I agree, And you know, smart move by the government 1352 01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:28,160 Speaker 23: putting in Simon Motor. He's a class act and this 1353 01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:32,600 Speaker 23: is his first sort of public service role. I think 1354 01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:35,080 Speaker 23: he will do it very well. But you know, as 1355 01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:37,840 Speaker 23: I've read today, I understand it. You know, because of 1356 01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:40,720 Speaker 23: the wholesale changes that crying order to try and get 1357 01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:44,520 Speaker 23: it under control, his role had been completely changed from 1358 01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:47,200 Speaker 23: what he signed up to, so I think, you know 1359 01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:48,760 Speaker 23: it was probably inevitable. 1360 01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:51,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, what do we do about the GPS? There 1361 01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:54,360 Speaker 3: isn't enough money Richard to actually fund them through House 1362 01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:56,520 Speaker 3: New Zealand. House New Zealand hasn't got enough money. So 1363 01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:58,480 Speaker 3: if we want to save these things, the only way 1364 01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:00,320 Speaker 3: I can see that we can do that if they 1365 01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:02,120 Speaker 3: charge us more. Would you be okay with that? 1366 01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:05,000 Speaker 4: Well, that's the whole thing. And that's the vibe with 1367 01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:07,560 Speaker 4: tax cuts again, like fifteen billion dollars for tax cuts, 1368 01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:10,120 Speaker 4: but prescriptions have gone up. Everything's going to go up 1369 01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:13,320 Speaker 4: this I think the proposals that for GPS to get more, 1370 01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:16,960 Speaker 4: they have to charge customers about I mean patients another 1371 01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:20,600 Speaker 4: seven or eight percent extra. So it's just that twenty 1372 01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:22,240 Speaker 4: dollars you've got in your pockets just coming back in 1373 01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:25,000 Speaker 4: another way. And every government does it. They'll label now 1374 01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:28,040 Speaker 4: complain about them not paying GPS enough. You remember National 1375 01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,280 Speaker 4: last term are saying these that same thing. They just 1376 01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:33,840 Speaker 4: do it the same that underfunding health. All governments keep 1377 01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:37,560 Speaker 4: underfunding health and it is not a good long term outcompany. 1378 01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:37,680 Speaker 2: Not at all. 1379 01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:39,600 Speaker 3: What's the solution, Treasure, Well, we can't get these people 1380 01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:41,520 Speaker 3: have been complaining about it for six or seven years. 1381 01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:42,520 Speaker 3: They obviously need money. 1382 01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:46,560 Speaker 23: Yeah, well, I mean I would urge this government. And 1383 01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:51,480 Speaker 23: as Richard said, every government to really prioritize gps. Don't 1384 01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:55,880 Speaker 23: forget this kind of primary healthcare, particularly in rural communities, 1385 01:02:56,960 --> 01:03:01,440 Speaker 23: is really the barrier that protects the whole health system collapsing. 1386 01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:04,320 Speaker 23: And in fact, right now we've got people in small 1387 01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:07,400 Speaker 23: rural communities that I know of, they are waiting up to. 1388 01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:09,520 Speaker 6: Eight weeks to get a GP appointment. 1389 01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:13,800 Speaker 23: So imagine what that does for a caidward recurring tonsilitis 1390 01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:17,360 Speaker 23: in the winter, a person who maybe not diagnosed for cancer, 1391 01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:20,040 Speaker 23: or an elderly person with a heart condition who goes 1392 01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:22,200 Speaker 23: eight weeks before they even get to see the GP. 1393 01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:23,680 Speaker 23: It's just dangerous. 1394 01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:24,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, totally what. 1395 01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:26,000 Speaker 4: We're you going to say, No, it's the same thing. 1396 01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:28,240 Speaker 4: We'll end up having to helicopter that person out when 1397 01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:29,680 Speaker 4: they get to the keep stage. 1398 01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:32,160 Speaker 3: If you don't put the money in the front, you 1399 01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:34,320 Speaker 3: have to pay heaps more towards the end, right when 1400 01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:36,840 Speaker 3: they're dying. Yeah, guys, thank you so much, really good points, 1401 01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:39,200 Speaker 3: Really appreciate. It's Tris Sherson of Sheerson Willis PR and 1402 01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:41,880 Speaker 3: Richard Hill's Auckland counselor. That was our heard of this evening. 1403 01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:43,920 Speaker 3: It's had away from six on. 1404 01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:46,640 Speaker 1: Your smart speaker on the iHeart app and in your 1405 01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:50,560 Speaker 1: car on your drive home. Heather Duplice allan drive with 1406 01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:54,440 Speaker 1: one New Zealand one Giant Leap for Business News. 1407 01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:57,840 Speaker 3: Talk zib Hither there is absolutely enough money for GPS 1408 01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:00,280 Speaker 3: and improved frontline health services. Tax cuts and left lord 1409 01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:01,840 Speaker 3: tax cuts money would have helped for a start, and 1410 01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:04,520 Speaker 3: when that's the argument, right, But I mean, I'll tell 1411 01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:06,760 Speaker 3: you what I'm for the landlord tax cut, because that 1412 01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:08,600 Speaker 3: is not a tax cut. That is simply returning things 1413 01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:10,200 Speaker 3: to the way that it was, and every other business 1414 01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:13,680 Speaker 3: gets the same allowance. And if you want, if you 1415 01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:16,800 Speaker 3: want rents to just keep on going up, by all means, 1416 01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:18,600 Speaker 3: go hard on the landloords. But if you want to 1417 01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:20,880 Speaker 3: fix that situation as much as you possibly can, that 1418 01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:23,160 Speaker 3: was necessary. So most of these things are necessary. And 1419 01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:25,200 Speaker 3: I feel like the tax cuts have been written off 1420 01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:27,400 Speaker 3: as like some sort of a frivolous thing. I really 1421 01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:29,440 Speaker 3: do not believe that they are. People are having a 1422 01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:32,280 Speaker 3: very difficult time and if you want to stop people 1423 01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:34,880 Speaker 3: going to Australia, you have to let them keep more 1424 01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:36,880 Speaker 3: money in their pockets. We have a massive brain drain 1425 01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:39,160 Speaker 3: going on, so you need the tax cuts, So you 1426 01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:41,200 Speaker 3: need the tax cuts, you need the landlord tax cuts, 1427 01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:42,840 Speaker 3: you need the money for the GPS, you need money 1428 01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:46,160 Speaker 3: for everything. So I just I think saying you just 1429 01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:48,280 Speaker 3: get rid of those things is kind of ignoring the 1430 01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:51,320 Speaker 3: problem that that is trying to address. Anyway, Listen, Rob 1431 01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:53,480 Speaker 3: Fife is going to be with us after half past six. 1432 01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:56,280 Speaker 3: Rob obviously got his fingers in a lot of pies 1433 01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:59,840 Speaker 3: and stuff, fantastic history and business. He is now with 1434 01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:02,840 Speaker 3: a business called Recorp where they're doing like aluminium can 1435 01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:06,200 Speaker 3: recycling and stuff like that, and they're opening their own 1436 01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:09,520 Speaker 3: plant here in September, and they've just appointed a chief executive. 1437 01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:11,040 Speaker 3: So he's going to talk us through how they're going 1438 01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:13,960 Speaker 3: to transform New Zealand's drinks packaging industry when he's with us. 1439 01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:16,680 Speaker 3: And I do love a good business story out of 1440 01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,240 Speaker 3: New Zealand. I love kiwis trying to make a buck 1441 01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:22,280 Speaker 3: and therefore increase productivity and therefore put more money into 1442 01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:23,919 Speaker 3: the economy and therefore help us pay for the GP. 1443 01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:26,920 Speaker 3: So we're going to celebrate that. If you have got 1444 01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:30,200 Speaker 3: tickets to Coldplay in November, it sounds like you are 1445 01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:32,200 Speaker 3: in for retreat. If they are anything like they were 1446 01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:35,120 Speaker 3: at Glastonbury at the weekend. Because the reviews of Coldplay 1447 01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:38,840 Speaker 3: have been sensational, The Telegraph gave them five stars. The 1448 01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:42,240 Speaker 3: Telegraph says there were skepticism about Coldplay headlining Glastonbury for 1449 01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:44,640 Speaker 3: a fifth time, right because I mean been there four 1450 01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:46,600 Speaker 3: times before, why do you need them for a fifth time? 1451 01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:48,680 Speaker 3: But the truth is, says the Telegraph, there was no 1452 01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:51,640 Speaker 3: better band in the world for inspiring a joyous mass 1453 01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:54,600 Speaker 3: sing along in a vast space. Everybody came out to 1454 01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:57,560 Speaker 3: see them. This was almost McCartney and Elton John levels 1455 01:05:57,600 --> 01:06:01,439 Speaker 3: of crowd intensity. Coldplay are so good at this because 1456 01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:03,479 Speaker 3: they have twenty five years of songs that are easy 1457 01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:06,160 Speaker 3: to sing, melodies that lift and flow, a dynamic and 1458 01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:09,960 Speaker 3: colorful sense of arrangement, and an incredibly innately sympathetic sensibility 1459 01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:12,800 Speaker 3: and performance. They reckon yea. It was a bit bit 1460 01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:15,720 Speaker 3: corny at times because it's shamelessly poppy and so on, 1461 01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:19,680 Speaker 3: but this was one of the great Glastonbury sets.

I take an 1484 01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:39,600 Speaker 22: interest in many of those, and I'm also, of course 1485 01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:43,360 Speaker 22: always in charge of delivering on our policy so tactically 1486 01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:45,280 Speaker 22: from the thirty fifth of July, that'll be me. 1487 01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:48,000 Speaker 3: Okay, So you've gone because you famously had the biggest 1488 01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:50,400 Speaker 3: one in the last planned didn't Yeah, the budget, So 1489 01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:54,240 Speaker 3: have you gone from was it like overload Nicola in 1490 01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:55,920 Speaker 3: Q two and then rest are a wee bit in 1491 01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:56,560 Speaker 3: Q three. 1492 01:07:57,520 --> 01:08:00,880 Speaker 22: Now because we're already planning for next year budget Heather, 1493 01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:03,880 Speaker 22: and as we've fait, it's going to be another type one. 1494 01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:06,080 Speaker 22: So we need to be looking right now at where 1495 01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:09,000 Speaker 22: money is not going to its best impact so we 1496 01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:12,600 Speaker 22: can make good decisions on that. And I'm also very focused, 1497 01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:15,720 Speaker 22: as you'll imagine, on how we strengthen this economy and 1498 01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:19,599 Speaker 22: get it growing faster. So I'm working with ministers across 1499 01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:22,000 Speaker 22: government on what we can do to make it easier 1500 01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:24,519 Speaker 22: for businesses to invest, to hire people to grow. 1501 01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:28,040 Speaker 3: Number fifteen on the Listers initiate the second Regulatory Review 1502 01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:30,640 Speaker 3: to identify and remove unnecessary red tape? Do you know 1503 01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:31,519 Speaker 3: what that's going to be into? 1504 01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:36,840 Speaker 22: That has not been decided yet. The first one, of course, 1505 01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:40,080 Speaker 22: is on early childhood education, where there are lots of 1506 01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:43,080 Speaker 22: red tapes and early childhood centers that both make that 1507 01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:46,760 Speaker 22: care more expensive and harder to deliver. And I think 1508 01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:49,240 Speaker 22: that David Seymour will be making an announcement about the 1509 01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:50,720 Speaker 22: second review shortly yet. 1510 01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:51,400 Speaker 3: Do you know what it is? 1511 01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:55,880 Speaker 22: I do I do know what it is, but I've 1512 01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:58,200 Speaker 22: got to steal a Sunday. You see, it's his review 1513 01:08:58,320 --> 01:08:59,920 Speaker 22: to announce, and I want him to have the fair 1514 01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:03,160 Speaker 22: in fear and celebration about it. But it's another area 1515 01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:06,320 Speaker 22: of life where we've had complaints from people saying there's 1516 01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:07,080 Speaker 22: rules are ridiculus. 1517 01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:09,640 Speaker 3: Does it include scaffolding, because I'm into that. If it 1518 01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:13,200 Speaker 3: does include scaffolding, it's no. 1519 01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:16,120 Speaker 22: It doesn't. But what we are doing in the next 1520 01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:18,879 Speaker 22: three months is getting rid of the barriers to oversee 1521 01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:21,760 Speaker 22: building products being used in New Zealand. So that will 1522 01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:25,400 Speaker 22: make it cheaper for diires like you to get the 1523 01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:28,000 Speaker 22: range of products and suing your house retuvation. 1524 01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:28,479 Speaker 21: Yeah. 1525 01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:31,080 Speaker 3: The problem the scaffolding is when you can't do it yourself. Hey, 1526 01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,200 Speaker 3: I'm fascinated by number sixteen. Take Cabinet decisions on new 1527 01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:37,280 Speaker 3: regulations to remove the ge ban. Now, had that been 1528 01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:38,920 Speaker 3: in there a few years ago, that would have been 1529 01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:41,400 Speaker 3: such a hot potato. Do you think it's going to 1530 01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:42,920 Speaker 3: be this time is just going to Do you think 1531 01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:44,200 Speaker 3: it's going to just kind of float through? 1532 01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:45,519 Speaker 14: Well? 1533 01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:49,719 Speaker 22: I think that New Zealanders understand that science has moved 1534 01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:53,320 Speaker 22: on a huge amount and if we want to be 1535 01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:56,920 Speaker 22: part of solutions for our climate issues, and we want 1536 01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:59,040 Speaker 22: to have smart food producers. We've got to get with 1537 01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:02,280 Speaker 22: the program and make safe use of gene. 1538 01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:05,720 Speaker 14: We've come around to it, I think we have. 1539 01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:09,600 Speaker 22: The conversation has really changed from where it was a 1540 01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:13,639 Speaker 22: decade or two ago. I remember the outrage about Helen 1541 01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:17,599 Speaker 22: Clark and Cornngate, and that seems like a different era. 1542 01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:20,080 Speaker 22: I think we're now in an era where people understand 1543 01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:22,759 Speaker 22: the power of science. Of course we have to safely 1544 01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:27,599 Speaker 22: reflate these new techniques and technologies. That's appropriate, but other 1545 01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:29,760 Speaker 22: countries all over the world are doing it and we're 1546 01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:32,080 Speaker 22: well behind the aprille. So let's play catch up. 1547 01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:34,720 Speaker 3: Are we doing an inquiry into what happened in Whyde One? 1548 01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:38,439 Speaker 23: We will do a short sharp review. 1549 01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:42,640 Speaker 22: I was in Hawke's Bay on Thursday and there are 1550 01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:47,160 Speaker 22: questions being asked about how the river mouth and the 1551 01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:50,800 Speaker 22: bar we're managed and whether or not that lead to 1552 01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:53,240 Speaker 22: the flooding being worse than it might otherwise have been. 1553 01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:56,240 Speaker 22: So there's questions for the regional council and for the 1554 01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:59,519 Speaker 22: local council to work through, and so yes, we will 1555 01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:01,000 Speaker 22: support a short chart review. 1556 01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:04,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, good now, Nikola. If Hawks Bay Regional Council is 1557 01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:06,280 Speaker 3: found to have been responsible for not clearing that bar 1558 01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:08,920 Speaker 3: fast enough, that would be the second time in a 1559 01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:11,240 Speaker 3: major event that they've let their communities down. So what 1560 01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:12,160 Speaker 3: happens to them? 1561 01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:16,360 Speaker 22: Well, this is why we want to first do this 1562 01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:19,240 Speaker 22: short chart review. I know that Minister Mitchell lets the 1563 01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:22,639 Speaker 22: Regional Council know of that today, and I don't want 1564 01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:25,200 Speaker 22: to get ahead of that. But of course the purpose 1565 01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:27,519 Speaker 22: of these things is to find out what happened and 1566 01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:28,559 Speaker 22: how do we stop it happening. 1567 01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:32,080 Speaker 3: Mark Mitchell has gone in contact with hawks Bay Regional 1568 01:11:32,120 --> 01:11:35,280 Speaker 3: Council told them there will be an inquiry, yes. 1569 01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:37,920 Speaker 22: And he's also been in touch with Wider today to 1570 01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:38,840 Speaker 22: let you know as well. 1571 01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:43,559 Speaker 3: Okay, and you don't know what the potential ramifications could be. Frankly, 1572 01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:45,640 Speaker 3: these people, if they are letting their communities down, like 1573 01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:48,960 Speaker 3: literally lives were at risk in the Esque Valley, they 1574 01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:52,240 Speaker 3: can't be entrusted to keep on actually looking after their communities. 1575 01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:53,680 Speaker 3: We have to take the task off them, don't we. 1576 01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:56,479 Speaker 22: Well, it's really important. I don't get ahead of it 1577 01:11:57,040 --> 01:11:59,800 Speaker 22: because I don't understand the ins and outs of what 1578 01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:02,200 Speaker 22: happened here. I don't have the stacks to hand. So 1579 01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:04,880 Speaker 22: the first job is get the fact about what actually happens. 1580 01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:08,920 Speaker 22: Then understand if there we're in eras, why those eras occurved. 1581 01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:11,120 Speaker 22: Then understand what we need to do so that they 1582 01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:14,040 Speaker 22: don't happen again in the future. So chort chat, review, 1583 01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:16,320 Speaker 22: get to the fact of the matter, and then actions 1584 01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:16,639 Speaker 22: from there. 1585 01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:19,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, good stuff, happy here, listen on the GPS. Do 1586 01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:20,920 Speaker 3: we just need to bite the bullet and allow them 1587 01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:23,200 Speaker 3: to charge patients more so they can make their books balance. 1588 01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:27,680 Speaker 22: Well, in some cases GPS will do that. We put 1589 01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:31,599 Speaker 22: in considerable funding in our budget for health and ring 1590 01:12:31,760 --> 01:12:34,880 Speaker 22: fence to a significant portion of that for primary health care. 1591 01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:38,839 Speaker 22: So more than half a billion dollars in uplifted funding 1592 01:12:39,520 --> 01:12:42,880 Speaker 22: for primary health care this year alone. So we recognize 1593 01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:46,160 Speaker 22: that GPS provide a vital health service for many of us. 1594 01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:48,680 Speaker 22: It's actually the only time we interact. 1595 01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:50,880 Speaker 3: With the problem is okay, So the problem is they 1596 01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:53,439 Speaker 3: can only raise their fees by as much as Health 1597 01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:56,200 Speaker 3: New Zealand says they can, and at the moment what 1598 01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:58,840 Speaker 3: they are able to charge, you know, the funding that 1599 01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:01,800 Speaker 3: they're bringing in is about a call of or maybe 1600 01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:03,599 Speaker 3: half of what they need, so they need to change 1601 01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:05,479 Speaker 3: people a whole lot more. Would you be open to that. 1602 01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:09,360 Speaker 22: Well, that's something they're working through with Health New Zealand 1603 01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:13,840 Speaker 22: right now, and of course it varies from community to 1604 01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:16,519 Speaker 22: community and health user to health user. I think we 1605 01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:18,960 Speaker 22: all recognize that there are some people who are more 1606 01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:23,160 Speaker 22: able to pay than others, and so Health New Zealand 1607 01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:27,400 Speaker 22: are working through what is the requirements that's currently in place, 1608 01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:29,439 Speaker 22: how do we make sure that that's going to work 1609 01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:32,120 Speaker 22: for GPS over the next twelve months, and what does 1610 01:13:32,200 --> 01:13:34,439 Speaker 22: that funding that bring them look like. So there are 1611 01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:36,200 Speaker 22: active discussions happening at the moment. 1612 01:13:36,479 --> 01:13:40,479 Speaker 3: Why was Andrew McKenzie told to quit a KO, I'm 1613 01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:42,840 Speaker 3: not sure that was the case. Well, Simon Mota basically 1614 01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:44,559 Speaker 3: told us before that he sat him down to him 1615 01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:44,840 Speaker 3: to quit. 1616 01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:48,799 Speaker 22: Well, obviously that's an employment matter. It's a matter between 1617 01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:53,040 Speaker 22: that board chair and Andrew McKenzie. So you've been talking 1618 01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:55,120 Speaker 22: to the right to some who has the ability to 1619 01:13:55,160 --> 01:13:57,400 Speaker 22: comment on that and betail on that Simon, So I 1620 01:13:57,479 --> 01:13:58,160 Speaker 22: defer to him. 1621 01:13:58,080 --> 01:13:58,519 Speaker 16: On this matter. 1622 01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:01,320 Speaker 3: He had to say nice things about Andrew McKenzie though, 1623 01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:03,920 Speaker 3: because like it's an employment matter and stuff, you don't 1624 01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:06,320 Speaker 3: have to Nikola because you're a politician.

And I said that waits for 1712 01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:22,439 Speaker 3: being replaced. Well, I don't think I said that. 1713 01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:25,320 Speaker 24: Well, it's been mentioned on your show four thousand times. 1714 01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:28,479 Speaker 12: And really, when did I say that on your I said, 1715 01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:29,599 Speaker 12: waits for being replaced? 1716 01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:30,639 Speaker 3: You have said that before? 1717 01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:33,360 Speaker 12: Really, yeah, I would challenge you to say that, because 1718 01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:34,600 Speaker 12: I'm pretty sure I haven't said that. 1719 01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:36,720 Speaker 3: So he then goes on to say to her that 1720 01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:38,160 Speaker 3: And I just want to make it clear, I'm not 1721 01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:40,400 Speaker 3: a fan of Tucker Carson. I have no particular feeling 1722 01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:42,360 Speaker 3: about him whatsoever. So I'm not defending him, but just 1723 01:18:42,439 --> 01:18:44,519 Speaker 3: explaining to you what happened here. He goes on to 1724 01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:46,800 Speaker 3: say that he never said white Americans. He said native 1725 01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:49,679 Speaker 3: born Americans and native born Americans are basically black Americans, 1726 01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:54,040 Speaker 3: Asian Americans, white Americans, whatever, anyone who was born in America, 1727 01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:57,720 Speaker 3: as opposed to people not born in America.

A 1792 01:21:36,960 --> 01:21:40,360 Speaker 16: blowout in costs something expected, and certainly there's a few 1793 01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:44,479 Speaker 16: more hurdles for Fletchers to clear, but this is a positive. 1794 01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:45,759 Speaker 16: It is certainly in the right direction. 1795 01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:48,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, Now okay, how did the markets react to 1796 01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:49,040 Speaker 3: that debate? 1797 01:21:49,920 --> 01:21:52,600 Speaker 16: Yeah, Look, it was a pretty interesting outcome as that 1798 01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:55,360 Speaker 16: the day went by, certainly the market side, the price 1799 01:21:55,439 --> 01:21:59,320 Speaker 16: and more potential for a Trump victory. Still very early 1800 01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:01,360 Speaker 16: in the campaign, it's a long way to go. But 1801 01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:03,479 Speaker 16: as certainly what a business were focusing and on was 1802 01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:07,920 Speaker 16: the rests around some of the Trump policies, particularly trade protections, 1803 01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:09,800 Speaker 16: and this is the one where's a lot of chat 1804 01:22:09,840 --> 01:22:14,479 Speaker 16: about increasing tariff on Chinese inputs in particular, that would 1805 01:22:14,479 --> 01:22:18,360 Speaker 16: be inflationary and potentially could trigger a broader trade war. 1806 01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:23,719 Speaker 16: Policies about tax cuts, really embedding those existing text cuts permanently, 1807 01:22:24,360 --> 01:22:29,200 Speaker 16: immigration restrictions, and unwinding some of the green energy initiatives 1808 01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:31,519 Speaker 16: that have been put in place by the current Democratic 1809 01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:34,599 Speaker 16: government said look a better way to go. But assuming 1810 01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:36,360 Speaker 16: it's put of vestas on the back foot, you know, 1811 01:22:36,439 --> 01:22:40,000 Speaker 16: the weary about what those policy changes could do. 1812 01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:42,560 Speaker 3: And what about the immigration restrictions, what would be the 1813 01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:43,880 Speaker 3: impact of that if Trump was. 1814 01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:47,840 Speaker 16: In Yeah, look, the focus is on undocumented workers. This 1815 01:22:48,040 --> 01:22:53,440 Speaker 16: is potentially stagflationary. It potentially slows economic growth while increasing 1816 01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:57,240 Speaker 16: the cost of labor. And assuming one of the things 1817 01:22:57,320 --> 01:23:00,680 Speaker 16: that the Democrats can point to is a opening the 1818 01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:03,040 Speaker 16: borders up letting people come in, which is what the 1819 01:23:03,200 --> 01:23:06,600 Speaker 16: US has done for decades, has actually been good for 1820 01:23:06,640 --> 01:23:09,160 Speaker 16: the economy. Everybody's got a different perspective, but I think 1821 01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:13,720 Speaker 16: it's about the process, which is clearly what the Republican 1822 01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:15,640 Speaker 16: Trump Lett government look to tie up. 1823 01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:18,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, interesting stuff, Shane, Thank you very much appreciated. Look 1824 01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:19,960 Speaker 3: forward to talking to you again. That Shane Solly of 1825 01:23:20,080 --> 01:23:22,600 Speaker 3: Harbor Asset Management, Right, Rob Fife is going to be 1826 01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:24,519 Speaker 3: with us next, talk us through the plans to transform 1827 01:23:24,560 --> 01:23:28,639 Speaker 3: New Zealand's drink packaging industry. It's a bit of a mouthful, 1828 01:23:28,760 --> 01:23:31,599 Speaker 3: isn't it? Here the thank you for playing the Tucker 1829 01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:34,200 Speaker 3: Carlson clips. It's hilarious. I wish I was as quick 1830 01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:35,720 Speaker 3: on my feet as he is. Oh hey, you were. 1831 01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:39,000 Speaker 3: It's on his Twitter account and go and watch it 1832 01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:43,400 Speaker 3: because you have to admire his intelligence. He's a very 1833 01:23:43,520 --> 01:23:47,479 Speaker 3: clever man, but he is such a brat like he's 1834 01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:51,000 Speaker 3: obviously just so arrogant because of how clever he is. 1835 01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:53,240 Speaker 3: Impossible to be married and impossible. 1836 01:23:53,439 --> 01:24:01,479 Speaker 1: Headline's next, everything from SMS to the corporates, The Business 1837 01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:05,200 Speaker 1: Hour with Heather Dupleicy Ellen and my HR, the HR 1838 01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:07,120 Speaker 1: platform for sme us talks. 1839 01:24:07,120 --> 01:24:07,439 Speaker 2: That'd be. 1840 01:24:18,280 --> 01:24:18,720 Speaker 8: It's time. 1841 01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:24,640 Speaker 3: Javin Gray is going to be on a Saturday UK 1842 01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:26,360 Speaker 3: and ten minutes time. I'll tell you what. I don't 1843 01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:27,840 Speaker 3: know if he's going to talk about this, so I'm 1844 01:24:27,880 --> 01:24:29,479 Speaker 3: just going to get this across Just just get this 1845 01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:32,559 Speaker 3: across you ahead of times. I think is absolutely fascinating. 1846 01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:35,080 Speaker 3: Labor's obviously going to win the UK election, right that 1847 01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:37,040 Speaker 3: they're a shue and I mean the Tories keep telling 1848 01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:40,280 Speaker 3: themselves the polls aren't right, but they're dreaming. But what's 1849 01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:42,679 Speaker 3: really fascinating is that it's emerged in the papers overnight 1850 01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:46,640 Speaker 3: that Labor has been resisting union demands to champion the 1851 01:24:46,720 --> 01:24:49,400 Speaker 3: full day working week. Now for a political party to 1852 01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:51,439 Speaker 3: champion something like a full day working week, that that 1853 01:24:51,600 --> 01:24:53,040 Speaker 3: is like yeah, I mean, they don't just go out 1854 01:24:53,080 --> 01:24:54,920 Speaker 3: there and go yay full day working week, like they 1855 01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:58,040 Speaker 3: would have to start making moves towards taking the country 1856 01:24:58,080 --> 01:25:00,360 Speaker 3: towards a full day working week, and the union keen 1857 01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:03,240 Speaker 3: on it, and Labor is quite rightly resisting that because 1858 01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:06,880 Speaker 3: that is that's a really big fundamental change, I mean 1859 01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:11,320 Speaker 3: to society right all like it just it's a nice idea. 1860 01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:13,439 Speaker 3: It's a really nice idea for some people to be 1861 01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:14,920 Speaker 3: able to do it, but for all of us to 1862 01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:17,200 Speaker 3: do it would be massive. Anyway, The interesting thing I 1863 01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:19,840 Speaker 3: think about that is what unions do in one country 1864 01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:22,800 Speaker 3: unions do in another country. Eventually, the idea just goes around, 1865 01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:24,320 Speaker 3: So keep an eye out for that. Our unions will 1866 01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:26,920 Speaker 3: start getting into that anytime soon. I would imagine hither 1867 01:25:27,400 --> 01:25:30,120 Speaker 3: if we had an amalgamation in Wellington with the four councils, 1868 01:25:30,240 --> 01:25:32,280 Speaker 3: my choice of overall mayor out of all four of 1869 01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:37,559 Speaker 3: them would be seventy year old Wayne Guppy. Now, if 1870 01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:39,680 Speaker 3: this is a commentary on Joe Biden's age, I'm with you. 1871 01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:42,280 Speaker 3: There's nothing wrong with being seventy years old or eighty 1872 01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:44,040 Speaker 3: years old, or seventy eight years old or eighty one 1873 01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:46,240 Speaker 3: years old. The guy is just a really bad eighty 1874 01:25:46,280 --> 01:25:49,160 Speaker 3: one year old, isn't he? So yeah, I would take Wayne. 1875 01:25:49,760 --> 01:25:52,320 Speaker 3: I'll take Wayne over Tory any day, and he's much 1876 01:25:52,400 --> 01:25:55,120 Speaker 3: much older than her. Twenty two away from seven, Heather 1877 01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:58,360 Speaker 3: Duples In New Zealand, Boss Rob Fei's new business, Recoorp, 1878 01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:01,639 Speaker 3: is set to open an aluminium care and manufacturer in September. Today, 1879 01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:04,920 Speaker 3: Recorp announced its first CEO, former House of Travel boss 1880 01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:08,160 Speaker 3: former and New Zealand executive Bruce Parton. Now, the plant 1881 01:26:08,240 --> 01:26:10,200 Speaker 3: cost one hundred million bucks to build and it's going 1882 01:26:10,240 --> 01:26:12,280 Speaker 3: to be able to churn out eighteen hundred and fifty 1883 01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:14,479 Speaker 3: cans a minute. And Rob Fife is with us to 1884 01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:15,000 Speaker 3: talk about this. 1885 01:26:15,120 --> 01:26:18,040 Speaker 7: Hey, Rob, Hey, Heather, how are you very well? 1886 01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:19,280 Speaker 3: Thank you, good to talk to you. I mean, it 1887 01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:21,240 Speaker 3: sounds to me pretty amazing that you guys managed to 1888 01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:24,719 Speaker 3: scratch together one hundred million bucks just from New Zealand investors, 1889 01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:27,280 Speaker 3: is it, well. 1890 01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:28,640 Speaker 7: I'll tell you what. It gives you a sense of 1891 01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:31,760 Speaker 7: confidence that as tough as things are out there, there's 1892 01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:34,519 Speaker 7: sort of a bunch of people that really believe in 1893 01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:39,040 Speaker 7: New Zealand and the opportunities here. So the vast majority 1894 01:26:39,080 --> 01:26:42,640 Speaker 7: of that money came from six or seven people. And 1895 01:26:43,360 --> 01:26:46,720 Speaker 7: this industry today is dominated by a couple of Australian 1896 01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:50,320 Speaker 7: companies and they're just passionate about seeing the benefits and 1897 01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:51,799 Speaker 7: the rewards stay in New Zealand. 1898 01:26:52,320 --> 01:26:54,960 Speaker 3: Did I am I reading this correctly? That Annamobray, who's 1899 01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:56,920 Speaker 3: one of the investors that you've got there, wants to 1900 01:26:57,040 --> 01:27:00,800 Speaker 3: get aluminum cans to basically steal I could share off 1901 01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:01,719 Speaker 3: glass and plastic. 1902 01:27:01,840 --> 01:27:03,439 Speaker 2: Is that right? Yeah? 1903 01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:08,559 Speaker 7: Absolutely. You know, if you look today glass in terms 1904 01:27:08,560 --> 01:27:13,840 Speaker 7: of single single serve containers, glass makes up about forty 1905 01:27:13,880 --> 01:27:17,960 Speaker 7: percent of the market. They weigh ten times more than 1906 01:27:17,960 --> 01:27:21,479 Speaker 7: an aluminum container. There's obviously a whole lot more material, carbon, 1907 01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:24,759 Speaker 7: fragile and so on. Plus we all know the issues 1908 01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:28,200 Speaker 7: with plastic. They finally were into our waterways, our food 1909 01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:32,479 Speaker 7: system and so on. So alimineum, without doubt is the 1910 01:27:32,560 --> 01:27:35,720 Speaker 7: fastest growing container type and it's the one that's the 1911 01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:42,280 Speaker 7: most food safe. The material is infinitely recyclable. The story 1912 01:27:42,360 --> 01:27:46,080 Speaker 7: is an amazing story, and it's say we've convinced a 1913 01:27:46,120 --> 01:27:48,519 Speaker 7: bunch of New Zealanders to get behind it. Brank to life. 1914 01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:51,320 Speaker 7: Not for the faint hearted? Is this is a really 1915 01:27:51,360 --> 01:27:52,080 Speaker 7: big project? 1916 01:27:52,680 --> 01:27:54,160 Speaker 3: Why do you say not for the faint hearted? 1917 01:27:55,880 --> 01:27:58,880 Speaker 7: You know to as you say, you know, there's one 1918 01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:01,640 Speaker 7: hundred million being invest in this. The Bank of New 1919 01:28:01,720 --> 01:28:05,560 Speaker 7: Zealand's got behind it with a big chunk of bank finance. 1920 01:28:05,720 --> 01:28:08,960 Speaker 7: To spend that sort of money before you turn your 1921 01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:13,040 Speaker 7: first dollar of revenue, you need a lot of passionate 1922 01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:15,600 Speaker 7: people that really believe in a in a vision. And 1923 01:28:15,680 --> 01:28:17,800 Speaker 7: as I say that, that certainly isn't for everyone, but 1924 01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:19,479 Speaker 7: you know, we're very very committed. 1925 01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:22,439 Speaker 3: Rob What am I getting at the moment in plastic 1926 01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:24,760 Speaker 3: or glass that you would like me to get an aluminium? 1927 01:28:26,160 --> 01:28:29,240 Speaker 7: Well, ultimately, I mean I've just come back from overseas. 1928 01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:32,920 Speaker 7: You know, water now around the world is all moving 1929 01:28:32,960 --> 01:28:37,320 Speaker 7: into aluminium, a combination of both aluminum cans as we 1930 01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:42,120 Speaker 7: think of them today and also screw top or resealable 1931 01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:47,080 Speaker 7: alimineum bottles. So many, particularly sports venues but also a 1932 01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:52,040 Speaker 7: lot of hospitality venues are just banning plastic bottles in Toto, 1933 01:28:52,760 --> 01:28:56,040 Speaker 7: so water is a big one. Soft drinks are glass 1934 01:28:56,200 --> 01:28:59,800 Speaker 7: now overseas you're seeing glass. Sorry, beer is moving up 1935 01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:03,759 Speaker 7: more and more away from glass into aluminium, both again 1936 01:29:04,360 --> 01:29:08,080 Speaker 7: cans and aluminium bottles. At the moment, you know, there's 1937 01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:10,120 Speaker 7: no aliminium bottles made in this part of the world 1938 01:29:10,120 --> 01:29:13,120 Speaker 7: at all, and that's certainly on our roadmap to bring 1939 01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:17,000 Speaker 7: aluminium beer bottles and water bottles into this market. 1940 01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:18,040 Speaker 2: I feel weird. 1941 01:29:17,920 --> 01:29:21,400 Speaker 3: About that because I feel like I feel like screwing 1942 01:29:21,479 --> 01:29:23,599 Speaker 3: it would sort of like lit little bits of metal 1943 01:29:23,680 --> 01:29:26,120 Speaker 3: into my drink. Am I just is it I'm overthinking 1944 01:29:26,160 --> 01:29:29,439 Speaker 3: in I definitely am overthinking it. 1945 01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:34,400 Speaker 7: So not that I'm accute you of overthinking, but it's 1946 01:29:35,320 --> 01:29:39,880 Speaker 7: you know, alumineum in terms of in the food system 1947 01:29:39,960 --> 01:29:41,439 Speaker 7: in the body. You know it's not a good thing, 1948 01:29:41,720 --> 01:29:45,719 Speaker 7: but the aluminem that comes into our food source doesn't 1949 01:29:45,760 --> 01:29:48,240 Speaker 7: come out of containers or aluminium in that state. It's 1950 01:29:48,439 --> 01:29:51,240 Speaker 7: very very stable and you know, but don't flake off 1951 01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:54,600 Speaker 7: and so on. Aliminium comes in through various foods and 1952 01:29:54,720 --> 01:29:56,920 Speaker 7: minerals in our souls and that sort of thing. That's 1953 01:29:56,960 --> 01:30:01,200 Speaker 7: the biggest risk of aluminium into our diet. Element in 1954 01:30:01,280 --> 01:30:03,360 Speaker 7: bottle or containers absolutely safe. 1955 01:30:03,760 --> 01:30:05,519 Speaker 3: So Bruce Parton, you'll have worked with him at A 1956 01:30:05,600 --> 01:30:06,080 Speaker 3: New Zealand. 1957 01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:06,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1958 01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:11,240 Speaker 7: Yeah, I've worked with with Bruce for twenty years. So 1959 01:30:11,520 --> 01:30:15,040 Speaker 7: you know, we've got a great relationship, very very passionate. 1960 01:30:15,080 --> 01:30:17,600 Speaker 7: It's not like we're trying to create create a in 1961 01:30:17,680 --> 01:30:19,680 Speaker 7: New Zealand old boy network. But you know, working with 1962 01:30:19,800 --> 01:30:22,360 Speaker 7: people you're really non trust. I think Chris is a 1963 01:30:22,400 --> 01:30:25,400 Speaker 7: bit busy at the moment, but but yeah, you know, 1964 01:30:25,880 --> 01:30:29,080 Speaker 7: I'm really you know, I love working with people who 1965 01:30:29,160 --> 01:30:31,640 Speaker 7: I know can deliver the results, and Bruce's definitely one 1966 01:30:31,640 --> 01:30:31,880 Speaker 7: of those. 1967 01:30:31,920 --> 01:30:33,320 Speaker 3: What do you like about him? I think I saw 1968 01:30:33,360 --> 01:30:35,600 Speaker 3: somewhere that you were quoted as saying he learns, he 1969 01:30:36,320 --> 01:30:39,479 Speaker 3: takes not necessarily criticism, but he takes direction. 1970 01:30:41,640 --> 01:30:45,760 Speaker 7: No, no, he takes criticism really well. I mean, but 1971 01:30:46,400 --> 01:30:49,800 Speaker 7: I made a comment that you know, I mentor a 1972 01:30:49,880 --> 01:30:53,640 Speaker 7: lot of young up and coming entrepreneurs. And one of 1973 01:30:53,720 --> 01:30:57,560 Speaker 7: the things I'm always saying to these to these folcus, 1974 01:30:58,120 --> 01:31:00,639 Speaker 7: you know, the people that learn the more, that grow 1975 01:31:00,760 --> 01:31:03,680 Speaker 7: the fastest, that achieved the most, are the people that 1976 01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:06,720 Speaker 7: make it the easiest to give feedback to because are 1977 01:31:06,760 --> 01:31:08,720 Speaker 7: the ones. You know, if they're too defensive, then you're 1978 01:31:08,720 --> 01:31:10,719 Speaker 7: a little reserved. And what you say to them, Bruce, 1979 01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:14,919 Speaker 7: you can give it straight between the eyes and varness 1980 01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:17,360 Speaker 7: so exactly what you think. He just soaks it up. 1981 01:31:17,439 --> 01:31:21,120 Speaker 7: He listens, he considers, he responds, and he adapts. And 1982 01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:24,720 Speaker 7: he's just one of the most adaptable people I know. 1983 01:31:24,880 --> 01:31:27,280 Speaker 7: And that's I guess one of the reasons, because your 1984 01:31:27,320 --> 01:31:31,120 Speaker 7: feedback exactly back the other way. So we have a 1985 01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:34,200 Speaker 7: really really strong relationship. Can be a bit sporty at times, 1986 01:31:34,280 --> 01:31:36,360 Speaker 7: but that's how you create healthy outcomes. 1987 01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:40,160 Speaker 3: Great, Rob, give me your take on right, you've been overseas, 1988 01:31:40,160 --> 01:31:41,639 Speaker 3: as you say, give me your take on coming back 1989 01:31:41,640 --> 01:31:43,439 Speaker 3: to New Zealand. What's the mood like here. It feels 1990 01:31:43,439 --> 01:31:44,439 Speaker 3: like it might be a little gloomy. 1991 01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:50,320 Speaker 7: You know, it does feel gloomy, and it does feel 1992 01:31:50,400 --> 01:31:56,280 Speaker 7: at the moment very introspective. You know, I've just come back. 1993 01:31:56,320 --> 01:32:01,200 Speaker 7: I was in London. In London, you would argue or 1994 01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:05,439 Speaker 7: the UK definitely has many of the issues that we have, 1995 01:32:05,640 --> 01:32:08,439 Speaker 7: some of them even worse and more amplified than ours. 1996 01:32:08,560 --> 01:32:13,120 Speaker 7: The crime on the streets in London is deeply, deeply concerning. 1997 01:32:14,360 --> 01:32:17,240 Speaker 7: Yet when you go out and have dinner with people 1998 01:32:17,439 --> 01:32:19,720 Speaker 7: or you're socializing with people, no one seems to be 1999 01:32:19,840 --> 01:32:23,080 Speaker 7: as consumed by all those issues. 2000 01:32:23,160 --> 01:32:24,160 Speaker 21: As we get. 2001 01:32:24,040 --> 01:32:26,479 Speaker 7: Here in New Zealand, they're all talking about, you know, 2002 01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:29,680 Speaker 7: what's around the corner, the upside, the possibilities, you know, 2003 01:32:29,720 --> 01:32:33,120 Speaker 7: and the opportunities, and it's it's just a mindset that 2004 01:32:33,200 --> 01:32:38,200 Speaker 7: doesn't allow them to get so consumed by the to 2005 01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:40,320 Speaker 7: say that, you know, the stuff that we seem to 2006 01:32:40,439 --> 01:32:43,840 Speaker 7: just allow us to drag away from the great possibilities 2007 01:32:43,880 --> 01:32:48,639 Speaker 7: and opportunities for this country. So I'm sitting outside New Zealand, 2008 01:32:48,640 --> 01:32:51,040 Speaker 7: I get more optimistic about New Zealand and I feel 2009 01:32:52,560 --> 01:32:55,640 Speaker 7: it's ourselves and our mindset that's the biggest constraint on 2010 01:32:55,720 --> 01:32:58,880 Speaker 7: the possibilities for this country. Nothing that's structurally wrong about 2011 01:32:58,920 --> 01:33:03,120 Speaker 7: this company country, You're nothing that's politically constraining us about 2012 01:33:03,160 --> 01:33:05,920 Speaker 7: this country. In a great country, really talented people, we 2013 01:33:06,120 --> 01:33:08,160 Speaker 7: just have to get that self belief in a bit 2014 01:33:08,200 --> 01:33:09,040 Speaker 7: of mojo back. 2015 01:33:09,800 --> 01:33:10,960 Speaker 3: I think there's some good advice in that. 2016 01:33:11,080 --> 01:33:11,240 Speaker 20: Rob. 2017 01:33:11,320 --> 01:33:11,600 Speaker 1: Thank you. 2018 01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:13,200 Speaker 3: I really appreciate it's nice to have you back in 2019 01:33:13,240 --> 01:33:16,320 Speaker 3: the country doing great things. It's Rob five, Chairman of Recorp. Heather, 2020 01:33:16,439 --> 01:33:18,920 Speaker 3: aluminium versus glass bottles. I like to see if anything 2021 01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:20,960 Speaker 3: is in my beer bottle. So you like the glass, Chris, 2022 01:33:21,280 --> 01:33:23,040 Speaker 3: But this is the mistake that you're making. You need 2023 01:33:23,080 --> 01:33:26,200 Speaker 3: to understand. If you have the aluminium, nobody can see 2024 01:33:26,240 --> 01:33:28,000 Speaker 3: if you're still a big drinker because I'm not right. 2025 01:33:28,040 --> 01:33:29,840 Speaker 3: So I'm just giving you some tips from the old days. 2026 01:33:30,360 --> 01:33:32,439 Speaker 3: Go for the aluminium because nobody can see how much 2027 01:33:32,479 --> 01:33:34,560 Speaker 3: you've necked out of your drink. So you could go 2028 01:33:34,760 --> 01:33:37,080 Speaker 3: like two thirds in one go. They don't know that, 2029 01:33:37,520 --> 01:33:39,080 Speaker 3: and then you just swap it out for another one. 2030 01:33:39,120 --> 01:33:41,679 Speaker 3: Nobody needs to see. You could just be binging by yourself. 2031 01:33:41,920 --> 01:33:43,679 Speaker 3: You're welcome fourteen away from seven. 2032 01:33:44,160 --> 01:33:46,760 Speaker 2: If it's to do with money, it matters to you. 2033 01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:50,920 Speaker 1: The Business Hour with Heather Duplicy, Ellen and my HR, 2034 01:33:51,280 --> 01:33:53,559 Speaker 1: the HR platform for SME US Talk. 2035 01:33:53,600 --> 01:33:56,599 Speaker 3: Sa'd be Kevin grays Ow, UK correspondent this evening. Hello, Gavin, 2036 01:33:57,400 --> 01:34:00,200 Speaker 3: Hi there, Gavin. I'm pleased to see labors resist the 2037 01:34:00,240 --> 01:34:02,479 Speaker 3: four day working week ide because that would be messive, 2038 01:34:02,640 --> 01:34:03,040 Speaker 3: wouldn't it. 2039 01:34:04,080 --> 01:34:06,080 Speaker 25: It would be massive, And it's also one of the 2040 01:34:06,160 --> 01:34:09,400 Speaker 25: things that I think many people are worried about voting 2041 01:34:09,560 --> 01:34:12,439 Speaker 25: labor for the influence of the unions, because it is 2042 01:34:12,520 --> 01:34:15,200 Speaker 25: the unions who fund the Labor Party, and it's the 2043 01:34:15,360 --> 01:34:18,479 Speaker 25: unions who have been calling for this four day week. 2044 01:34:18,600 --> 01:34:22,160 Speaker 25: So particularly the trade union Unison, they do a lot 2045 01:34:22,240 --> 01:34:27,759 Speaker 25: of health working with their members and they've been calling 2046 01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:30,200 Speaker 25: on labor. They are one of the key backers of 2047 01:34:30,280 --> 01:34:33,599 Speaker 25: the big opposition party here for a for d week 2048 01:34:33,800 --> 01:34:36,360 Speaker 25: but no impact on workers' salaries, so in other words, 2049 01:34:36,560 --> 01:34:40,360 Speaker 25: effectively a twenty percent pay rise. They've passed the motion 2050 01:34:40,520 --> 01:34:43,760 Speaker 25: at their annual conference saying it's the next step. Now 2051 01:34:44,160 --> 01:34:46,840 Speaker 25: They're not alone actually in this other unions have also 2052 01:34:46,960 --> 01:34:50,360 Speaker 25: been pushing for this, the Public and Commercial Services Union, 2053 01:34:50,439 --> 01:34:53,479 Speaker 25: lots of civil servants in that public sector staff calling 2054 01:34:53,560 --> 01:34:57,639 Speaker 25: for a significant shortening of hours, and a joint letter 2055 01:34:57,720 --> 01:35:02,360 Speaker 25: of forty business leaders pushing the government to introduce working 2056 01:35:02,520 --> 01:35:05,760 Speaker 25: hours law. So this is a growing thing. It's just 2057 01:35:05,840 --> 01:35:09,320 Speaker 25: whether Secure Starma, the leader of the opposition party labor 2058 01:35:09,640 --> 01:35:11,960 Speaker 25: will or will not permit it. We're being told at 2059 01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:15,720 Speaker 25: the moment, no, that's not part of the plan. But yeah, 2060 01:35:15,800 --> 01:35:18,200 Speaker 25: something that with no doubt in people's minds when they 2061 01:35:18,280 --> 01:35:19,200 Speaker 25: go to the polls. 2062 01:35:18,920 --> 01:35:21,280 Speaker 3: On Thursday, and Devin, listen, how bad is it in Paris? 2063 01:35:22,400 --> 01:35:26,479 Speaker 25: Well, the streets of some parts of Paris have been 2064 01:35:26,760 --> 01:35:30,439 Speaker 25: a little bit fraught overnight with the rise of the 2065 01:35:30,600 --> 01:35:35,800 Speaker 25: far right. So francis currently one stage through a two 2066 01:35:35,880 --> 01:35:40,320 Speaker 25: stage process voting for a parliament, and it looks like 2067 01:35:40,479 --> 01:35:43,400 Speaker 25: the far right party of Marine La Penn the National 2068 01:35:43,560 --> 01:35:47,360 Speaker 25: Rally Party, really has exploded onto the scene and he's 2069 01:35:47,400 --> 01:35:50,000 Speaker 25: pretty much now at the gates of power. There is 2070 01:35:50,080 --> 01:35:53,800 Speaker 25: a second vote on Sunday of this coming weekend. Before 2071 01:35:53,840 --> 01:35:57,240 Speaker 25: we could definitely say that, but the National Rally Party 2072 01:35:57,320 --> 01:35:59,920 Speaker 25: one a third of the vote, a left wing a line, 2073 01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:04,080 Speaker 25: it's a grouping of different left wing organizations, won twenty 2074 01:36:04,160 --> 01:36:06,600 Speaker 25: eight percent. But as they said, it's a grouping of 2075 01:36:06,760 --> 01:36:13,639 Speaker 25: different parties. And Emmanual Macron's presidential tenure has really been dented. 2076 01:36:14,160 --> 01:36:17,439 Speaker 25: He just won twenty percent of the votes and so 2077 01:36:17,640 --> 01:36:21,759 Speaker 25: consequently the National Right and a very very strong position 2078 01:36:21,880 --> 01:36:24,120 Speaker 25: for this what they're trying for now is that like 2079 01:36:24,160 --> 01:36:27,040 Speaker 25: an absolute majority of the two hundred and eighty nine 2080 01:36:27,120 --> 01:36:30,759 Speaker 25: seats in the five hundred and seventy seven seat National Assembly. 2081 01:36:31,040 --> 01:36:33,360 Speaker 25: As I said, the next round is on Sunday. But 2082 01:36:33,520 --> 01:36:38,040 Speaker 25: their message of tougher immigration, tax cuts, law and order 2083 01:36:38,200 --> 01:36:42,280 Speaker 25: being improved, they really have resonated with voters and an 2084 01:36:42,360 --> 01:36:45,160 Speaker 25: election that Emmanual Macron kind of called it a fit 2085 01:36:45,280 --> 01:36:48,400 Speaker 25: of peak, having done so badly in the European elections, 2086 01:36:48,520 --> 01:36:49,920 Speaker 25: is coming back to bite him well. 2087 01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:52,320 Speaker 3: Two right, Gavin, listen, thank you. I appreciate it. As always, 2088 01:36:52,320 --> 01:36:53,920 Speaker 3: we talked to you in a couple of days. Gavin 2089 01:36:53,960 --> 01:36:56,120 Speaker 3: Gray are UK correspondent eight away from seven. 2090 01:36:56,720 --> 01:37:00,559 Speaker 1: Whether it's micro MicroB or just playing economics, it's all 2091 01:37:00,640 --> 01:37:04,240 Speaker 1: on the Business Hour with Heather Duplicy Ellen and my HR, 2092 01:37:04,640 --> 01:37:06,920 Speaker 1: the HR platform for SME used. 2093 01:37:06,720 --> 01:37:09,720 Speaker 3: Top it's six away from seven. I meant to mention 2094 01:37:09,840 --> 01:37:11,840 Speaker 3: this earlier in the show and I actually forgot, but 2095 01:37:12,760 --> 01:37:15,479 Speaker 3: we've found out. Do you remember when Golder's garment was 2096 01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:17,760 Speaker 3: sentenced on Thursday, We didn't get the judges reasons for 2097 01:37:17,840 --> 01:37:20,120 Speaker 3: why she handed down the sentence she did and why 2098 01:37:20,200 --> 01:37:22,280 Speaker 3: she'd gone with a conviction when what Gold was wanted 2099 01:37:22,360 --> 01:37:24,120 Speaker 3: was a discharge without conviction, and so on and so on. 2100 01:37:24,400 --> 01:37:26,400 Speaker 3: Now we do know because the sentencing notes appear to 2101 01:37:26,439 --> 01:37:29,519 Speaker 3: have been released. Judge didn't buy the mental health argument. 2102 01:37:30,080 --> 01:37:33,760 Speaker 3: She accepted that Goldris' mental health contributed to the shoplifting, 2103 01:37:33,800 --> 01:37:36,040 Speaker 3: but not that it caused it. She pointed out that 2104 01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:38,479 Speaker 3: the clinical psychologist who had been treating Golders for two 2105 01:37:38,560 --> 01:37:41,519 Speaker 3: years did not actually say whether the mental health problems 2106 01:37:41,600 --> 01:37:44,840 Speaker 3: contributed to the offending, just that the behavior that she 2107 01:37:44,960 --> 01:37:47,479 Speaker 3: was exhibiting is consistent with trauma symptoms, and so it 2108 01:37:47,560 --> 01:37:49,200 Speaker 3: was a bit of an equivocation on that, and so 2109 01:37:49,320 --> 01:37:52,120 Speaker 3: she said, as a result, I am unable to accept 2110 01:37:52,160 --> 01:37:54,800 Speaker 3: the submission that Miss Garment's poor mental health was a 2111 01:37:54,880 --> 01:37:58,479 Speaker 3: substantive or operative cause of the offending. So if you 2112 01:37:58,800 --> 01:38:01,360 Speaker 3: did not buy the argument all along, and I did 2113 01:38:01,439 --> 01:38:04,040 Speaker 3: not buy the argument all along, we would bang on, 2114 01:38:04,280 --> 01:38:06,880 Speaker 3: weren't we? Even the judge agreed. I quite like this, judge. 2115 01:38:06,920 --> 01:38:09,719 Speaker 3: By the way, Now listen, weird stuff happens in Dunedin. 2116 01:38:09,800 --> 01:38:13,240 Speaker 3: Here you go, here's your installment. Friday night, early Saturday morning, 2117 01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:17,200 Speaker 3: three teenagers aged between fifteen and sixteen decided to climb 2118 01:38:17,240 --> 01:38:19,439 Speaker 3: over a fence. I think into the neighbor's yard and 2119 01:38:19,520 --> 01:38:23,320 Speaker 3: steal a pigeon from the backyard coop. Somehow we got 2120 01:38:23,320 --> 01:38:24,840 Speaker 3: put back. I don't know where the parents did it, 2121 01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:26,760 Speaker 3: or they did it or whatever, but they did it again. 2122 01:38:26,800 --> 01:38:28,280 Speaker 3: They broke and again they kicked in the door of 2123 01:38:28,320 --> 01:38:30,960 Speaker 3: the pigeon coop. They stole the bird again, so the 2124 01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:35,040 Speaker 3: neighbor calls the cops. The cops arrive found them pretending 2125 01:38:35,120 --> 01:38:38,320 Speaker 3: to be asleep in the garage. So the cops say, 2126 01:38:38,720 --> 01:38:41,040 Speaker 3: we roused them, and when they pulled back a blanket, 2127 01:38:41,160 --> 01:38:43,479 Speaker 3: discovered a pigeon tucked under the arms of one of 2128 01:38:43,560 --> 01:38:47,520 Speaker 3: the fifteen year olds. So the officers woke the homeowner 2129 01:38:47,640 --> 01:38:50,000 Speaker 3: informed them of the youth's actions. The boys were then 2130 01:38:50,040 --> 01:38:52,200 Speaker 3: taken home to their respective parents, who were also informed, 2131 01:38:52,200 --> 01:38:53,640 Speaker 3: and they were not happy because they did not know 2132 01:38:53,720 --> 01:38:57,120 Speaker 3: the boys were boozing. But on the scale of weird 2133 01:38:57,200 --> 01:38:59,519 Speaker 3: stuff that you do as a teenager, that's right up there. 2134 01:38:59,520 --> 01:39:01,639 Speaker 3: A putting the pigeon and bed with you that's weird. 2135 01:39:01,880 --> 01:39:02,519 Speaker 3: That is weird. 2136 01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:08,160 Speaker 26: Ants maybe stick to soft toys, magic rude to play 2137 01:39:08,240 --> 01:39:11,280 Speaker 26: us out tonight.
