This is undoubtedly going to be the case. 31 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 2: The White House has called it a win, saying today's 32 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 2: events make clear to the world that America is respected again. 33 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 2: Today marks a week since Trump's inauguration.

Seven 38 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 2: have been released so far. Eighty years on from the 39 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 2: liberation of the Auschwitz Birkenal death camps, survivors and family 40 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 2: members have gathered to remember this is the. 41 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 4: Epitome, the epicenter of evil. This is the most concentrated 42 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 4: node in Naxus of Eagle because it had everything. It 43 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 4: was an extermination center with the dedicated gas chambers and 44 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 4: crematoria in Berkenal and the gas chamber here in Auschwitzer. 45 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 2: US stocks are down this morning after developments in a 46 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: new Chinese artificial intelligence company, Deep Seek were revealed.

No one seems 58 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 2: to be any closer to solving this crime, and there's 59 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: real mystery surrounding the identity of a sign bandit in 60 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 2: Napier who's been changing dozens of street names into crude 61 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 2: words for months without being nabbed. So far, the handiworkers 62 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 2: cost ratepays more than five thousand dollars for repairs. The 63 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 2: good people of Napier say, the culprit might feel like 64 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 2: a comedian, but the tampering isn't funny. There's two aspects 65 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: to this conundrum that haven't yet been delved into. When 66 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 2: was the last time you ask someone for directions? Gone 67 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 2: are the days when you took note of the instructions 68 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: given by a helpful stranger as they pointed relatively accurately 69 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 2: and gave you the names of streets to look for. 70 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: Doesn't everyone use Google Maps now? Our street signs still warranted. 71 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 2: The other aspect of the story, beyond the obvious cost 72 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 2: to Napier's ratepayers, is our collective reluctance to voice, or 73 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 2: even to print, some of the krue words used by 74 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 2: the comedic criminal. We stare blankly at the coverage of 75 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: the genocide inflicted upon people in Palestine, and perhaps hold 76 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 2: our breath momentarily until the next news item comes on. 77 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 2: But we can't bear the thought of using a long 78 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 2: list of crude words in case someone is offended. I 79 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 2: have that list of krue works head with me this 80 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 2: morning to share with you, but sadly I'm out of time. 81 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 2: Well another time maybe on the way. Julie Chapman, the 82 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 2: CEO of Kids Can, Why are so many children heading 83 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 2: back to school this year without what they need? Even 84 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 2: shoes and socks and jerseys. It's just terrible. Eleven past 85 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 2: five it's early edition used Talk SEDB on your. 86 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: Radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with Roman Travers 87 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: and one roof Make your Property Search Simple Youth Talks EDB. 88 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 2: Their teen past five. Schools are starting up for the 89 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 2: new year from this week, but there's a warning thousands 90 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 2: of students will start the year without the essentials. Kids 91 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,679 Speaker 2: Can has done a survey with more and two hundred 92 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 2: schools with feedback from teachers showing that kids are showing 93 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 2: up without shoes and jerseys because families struggle with the costs, 94 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 2: and there's concern that many just won't turn up at 95 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 2: all because of the embarrassment. Kids Can CEO Julie Chapman 96 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: joins me. Now morning Julie, Good morning, Roman. What's the 97 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 2: situation like this year? How many schools have been applying 98 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 2: for the help they need? 99 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 5: Oh, look, we've got seventy schools on our waiting list 100 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 5: right now. Twenty have applied to us since the middle 101 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 5: of last year, and we're already supporting children in more 102 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 5: than one thousand, one one hundred schools and early childhood 103 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 5: centers across New Zealand. So it's a pretty bleak picture 104 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 5: as kids head back to school for families who just 105 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 5: don't have enough money to provide those essentials. 106 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're not even into the cold part of 107 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 2: the year yet. How does this compare to previous years? 108 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,559 Speaker 5: Yeah, I was, you know, I was just thinking about 109 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 5: that while I was waiting to come on, and it 110 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 5: seems to be, you know, something that is talked about 111 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 5: every single year, and it's certainly something that kids can 112 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 5: has been tackling for the past twenty years, and it 113 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,559 Speaker 5: doesn't really seem to get any better. And I think, 114 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 5: you know, cost of living, food prices, you know, all 115 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 5: of those things really exacerbate it. And so for us, 116 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 5: you know, we're all about education equals opportunity and so, 117 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 5: you know, really trying to do as much as we can, 118 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 5: but the problem is huge. 119 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 2: It's hard enough getting kids to go to school, apparently 120 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 2: because of the pandemic and the ongoing effect of that. 121 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 2: How does this though, affect school attendance. 122 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 5: It does affect school attendance. A lot of you know, 123 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 5: families with children who they kind of for the essentials 124 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 5: for feel a lot of shame. You know, they are 125 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 5: good people, They're not wasting their money. They just simply 126 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 5: don't have enough every week to be able to do 127 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 5: those extra things. You know, at this time of the year. 128 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 5: We know that a lot of teachers and can schools 129 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 5: tell us that kids are wearing you know, the jackets 130 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 5: we provide in the height of summer because it's the 131 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 5: only part of the uniform they have. There's kids coming 132 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 5: with empty food packets even to try and show that 133 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 5: they have had something when they may not have. So, 134 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 5: you know, for us, our goal for this appeal is 135 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 5: to get a thousand kids sponsored so that they can 136 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 5: take advantage of their education that that is offered to 137 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 5: all of us. 138 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 2: You've mentioned food, the jerseys, the shoes, what other things. 139 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 2: What are the aspects of influencing whether they even turn 140 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 2: up or do well at school? 141 00:07:54,280 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, look, it's stationery, it's having enough you know at 142 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 5: home before they even get there. It's in sport, it's 143 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 5: all of those things. And so what we provide is 144 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 5: the clothing, the shoes, the food, which gives that little 145 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 5: bit of families just to provide those essentials that hopefully 146 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 5: make it a bit easier for parents and kids to 147 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 5: get to school. Really about making sure that they have 148 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 5: that social inclusion at school starts day one. Any day 149 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 5: that's missed of school is going to have an impact 150 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 5: on our child's learning. 151 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Julie, Thank you so much.

The key thing is New 175 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 6: Zealand super is not enough to live on, but it's 176 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 6: the best inflation proof income you can yet, not only 177 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 6: in New Zealand but in most retirement systems around the world. 178 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 6: So what you need to do is to build up 179 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 6: in the gig to top it up. And Massi University 180 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 6: is right. The target should be half a million, and 181 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 6: then if you want a bit more luxury and you 182 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 6: want to be able to go on holidays every year 183 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 6: and go and visit the grandchildren in Australia or whatever, 184 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,599 Speaker 6: then you probably need a million. But they are targets 185 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 6: and the key thing is to save as much as 186 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 6: you can and enjoy what you're doing for your work 187 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 6: and to say be careful and look after your health. 188 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 6: So gym memberships all that sort of stuff are critical. 189 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 2: Yeah makes sense, doesn't it. What about for a no 190 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 2: thrills household, no children to visit overseas, no desire to 191 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 2: go to every gig and show that comes to Eden 192 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 2: Park or the cake in the Wellington. 193 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, yeah, Well well then then I still say 194 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 6: you need four hundred thousand because you don't know what 195 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 6: your healthcare costs. 196 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 2: Where have you gone here either? You are you come back? 197 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 2: Just appeared there for it? Jonathan, just repeat that last 198 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 2: tenteg key. 199 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 6: Think it's healthcare and whether you can get access to 200 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 6: that on the public health system for more or less free. 201 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 6: You know, that's why I live in Auckland. I'm quite 202 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 6: close to north Shore Hospital. But if you have to 203 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 6: travel or you have to pay for health care privately, 204 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 6: then it may make the difference between life or death. 205 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,839 Speaker 6: Having ten thousand dollars of the kiddy. 206 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 2: How much has inflation and the cost of living impacted 207 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 2: how much you need to save for retirement? 208 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's put it up by twenty percent, So everything's 209 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 6: gone up, even the basics like food. But the key 210 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 6: things are rates, if you're own your own home and insurance. 211 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Well they always say that youth is wasted 212 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 2: on the young, don't they now, considering things will likely 213 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 2: get more expensive, should the younger generation prioritize savings for 214 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 2: retirement a whole lot sooner and a whole lot more 215 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 2: than what they are now? 216 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 6: It depends how much they're saving now. If they're saving 217 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 6: ten percent of their income, that's enough. But if they're not, 218 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 6: if they're living week paycheck to paycheck or week to 219 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 6: week and spending what they make is though you know 220 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 6: there's no tomorrow, then that's a big mistake. 221 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 2: Do you find that a lot of people get in 222 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 2: touch with you or just do you get the feeling 223 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 2: that most of us are terrified because most of us 224 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 2: are asset rich with you? If you own a home 225 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 2: in Greytown Featherstone that's worth millions anyway, but you're not 226 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 2: selling it, are you? 227 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 6: No? No, So there's reverse inuity mortgages. But this is 228 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 6: the problem people that shouldn't be terrified. There's fear doesn't 229 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 6: change anything, but effectively, what you want to be able 230 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 6: to do is get some cash out of your house. 231 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 6: And when you're living in places like Featherston and Greytount 232 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 6: that you can't do any better quite frankly. But if 233 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 6: you're living in Auckland or Willington, you can sell up 234 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 6: there and go and live in the provinces and basically, 235 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 6: you know, live off the saving that you make in 236 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 6: the difference in the value of the two homes. 237 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense. I'm going to be self up 238 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,199 Speaker 2: and moving into a camping ground, I think. Jonathan Erickson, 239 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 2: a superannuation and superfund expert, thanks for your time this morning. Rights. Look, 240 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 2: we've got this news about the digital nomad visa policy. 241 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 2: What does it actually mean? Well, I've got some more 242 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 2: thoughts on that, and I've got better alternatives that could 243 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 2: make money for New Zealand. Next here on early edition 244 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 2: twenty three past five. 245 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: The early edition for All the Show podcast on iHeartRadio 246 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: Power by Newstalks at Me. 247 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 2: Twenty five past five. It's great to see the Coalition 248 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 2: government looking at every possible way in order to maximize 249 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 2: the New Zealand economy. Right yesterday a bunch of very 250 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 2: important government ministers stood near the arrival gates of Wellington 251 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 2: Airport to reinforce the news regarding the loosening of visa 252 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 2: requirements for overseas visitors who want to too in New 253 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 2: Zealand while working remotely for their employer at home. This 254 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 2: is a copy and paste of what other countries have 255 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 2: successfully implemented. Essentially what are known as digital nomads will 256 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 2: include visitors like IT specialists, as long as they are 257 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 2: not receiving any income from New Zealand sources. It would 258 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 2: also extent to social media influences, provided they're not being 259 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 2: paid by overseas companies. These changes will apply to all 260 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 2: visa visitors visit of visas, including tourists and people visiting family. 261 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 2: Visit of visas can be extended for up to nine months, 262 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 2: although the ministers warned that working New Zealand for more 263 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 2: than ninety days could require them to declare themselves as 264 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 2: New Zealand tax residents. This may well indeed help in 265 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 2: a range of ways to ensure that more and more 266 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 2: overseas residents spend more time and money here, or indeed 267 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 2: eventually decide to make New Zealand home. However, the ongoing 268 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 2: influence of massive companies like Netflix may prove to be 269 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 2: more of a success story for New Zealand than any 270 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 2: policy invoked by any government over the past weekend, parts 271 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 2: of Dunedin were turned into an eighteen hundred style Californian 272 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 2: town with Hollywood heavyweights filming a new Netflix drama. Academy 273 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 2: Award nominee Florence Pukee is one of the actresses starring 274 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 2: in a new adaptation of a nineteen fifty two novel 275 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 2: East of Eden, filmed around New Zealand. Auckland actress Jess 276 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 2: Hoolk is just one of many New Zealand stars hitting 277 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 2: the big time with Netflix in a range of movies 278 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 2: and Netflix series watched by millions globally. Then there's Lucy 279 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 2: m buchanan in the current super smash series on Netflix, 280 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 2: The Night Agent. It's revery good. Actually dial it up 281 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 2: if you haven't. This is currently the number one show 282 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 2: around the world for Netflix, with the ongoing potential to 283 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 2: not only print money for Netflix and those that invest 284 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 2: in the company, but also for New Zealand. There's a 285 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 2: very long list of actors doing amazing things on the 286 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 2: big and small screens of the world, and this list 287 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 2: is only fortified and embellished by the even longer list 288 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 2: of producers, directors, and other behind the scenes talent who 289 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 2: enhance the image perception and geographical recognition of New Zealand 290 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 2: each and every time they land a big gig. You've 291 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 2: seen what the Lord of the Rings movies and subsequent 292 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 2: TV series has done for New Zealand, but we've changed 293 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 2: how we want to be entertained since Peter Jackson got 294 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 2: stuck into the Ring thing. Government policy like we saw 295 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 2: being announced yesterday is gold for the country, but ensuring 296 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 2: we do everything possible to keep New Zealand high on 297 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 2: the locations list for the abundance of movies and TV 298 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 2: series yet to be made is crucial for the desperately 299 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 2: needed growth for the economy and the ongoing career is 300 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 2: for all those who continue to tread the boards and 301 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 2: feel the pool of the limelight. Schmoozing the pate of 302 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 2: you and movie company executives is of greater importance than 303 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 2: fiddling about with immigration policies. Zed Be twenty nine past five. 304 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 2: Let me know your thoughts on that. I found that 305 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 2: policy announcement yesterday a little bit odd. I found it 306 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 2: odd because I thought, so when people come to New Zealand, 307 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 2: what they haven't been checking their emails, they haven't been 308 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 2: doing a bit of an update of a spreadsheet a 309 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 2: bit of a chat with people back at home. Everybody's 310 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 2: working when they're on holiday, so we'll find out more 311 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 2: about what that actually means because at about ten two 312 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 2: six will be joined by Linda Keene and Linda is 313 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 2: the Tourism Council Chief Executive, so she'll talk more about 314 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,479 Speaker 2: this digital nomad policy and what it actually means.

Tourists and New Zealand's on the visit 506 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 2: of Visa will soon be able to work remotely while here. 507 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 2: The changes targeting digital nomads, people employed by overseas companies 508 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 2: here on holiday and working at the same time in 509 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 2: the hope they'll spend more time and money in the country. 510 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 2: Tourism is currently New Zealand's second largest export and the 511 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 2: latest visit in numbers from Statistics in New Zealand show 512 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 2: we're reaching eighty six per sense of the pre COVID levels. 513 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 2: Linda Keen is the Tourism Export Council Chief Executive and 514 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 2: joins me now a very good morning to you, Linda. 515 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 7: Good morning Raman. 516 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 2: How much of a difference will this policy make, because 517 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 2: let's be honest, they've been working anyway. 518 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 7: Look, the third thing, Raman, is that this is very 519 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 7: encouraging that the government has now identified tourism as a 520 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 7: major economic driver and to help their growth agenda. What 521 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 7: difference will it make now? Not a lot in the 522 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 7: second half of the visitor season, which is this January 523 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,199 Speaker 7: to March period. And the reason for that is that 524 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 7: New Zealan is a long ha destination. You have to 525 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 7: either have one or two long haul flights to reach US. 526 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 7: So if the target for America or Southeast Asian digital 527 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 7: nomads is for them to come to New Zealand, they 528 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 7: may not quickly switch to that right now. This type 529 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 7: of initiative would have been fantastic to have announced this 530 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 7: time last year. 531 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 2: All right, So you did say it won't make much 532 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 2: of a difference. When will it make a difference? 533 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 7: I think with the upcoming season. So the season starts 534 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 7: on the first of October, and because a digital nomad 535 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 7: and all visitors as a long haul destination, they take 536 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 7: their time to make a commitment to visit New Zealand. 537 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 7: We're committed to destination. It's a little bit different with Australia. 538 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,919 Speaker 7: When we might decide tomorrow that we're going to go 539 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 7: to Australia for a short break, which is a short 540 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 7: haul destination, so it's going to take I would say 541 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 7: at least six months for us to see any positive 542 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 7: result with the Digital Nomad initiative. 543 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 2: All right, okay, well, good things take time, I guess 544 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 2: could more quick changes have been made to improve visitor numbers. 545 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 5: Yes, we know. 546 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 7: The government's been working hard with trying to get the 547 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 7: economy back on track. Some of the decisions that have 548 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 7: made in the past twelve months, particularly with increasing immigration 549 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 7: visa fees and the international Visitor and Conservation levy, these 550 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 7: are decisions that we knew. So these were increases we 551 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 7: knew we're probably going to come through, but we suggested 552 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 7: to government that the best time to do that would 553 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 7: have been from the first of October twenty twenty five. 554 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 7: And that's because the industry is still in recovery. Our 555 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 7: first season that we reached fifty five percent of pre 556 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 7: pandemic numbers. At the end of this season we only 557 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 7: recovered at eighty three percent, and now on an annual 558 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 7: basis after another six months, we're only at eighty four percent. 559 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 7: So the timing of these initiatives are absolutely critical. But 560 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 7: I'm saying that we're just really pleased that the government 561 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 7: have put tourism back as on their growth. The gender, 562 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 7: and we're keen to partner and work with them to 563 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 7: get our visitors back as quipney as we can. 564 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 2: You'd prefer there to previous government decisions on migration and 565 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 2: increasing the levy fees and all that sort of stuff 566 00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 2: hasn't had Did it have much of an effect on 567 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 2: to and the economy. If you're faced with a fee 568 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 2: to go and enter our parks or whatever it might be, 569 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 2: is that going to put people off? Have you noticed that. 570 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 7: At this time? Yes, we have the inbound tour operators 571 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 7: that we work with, they have offshore too, wholesalers and 572 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 7: travel agents as their clients, and the word from the 573 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 7: offshore industry is that the timing of us increasing these 574 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 7: fees has certainly had an impact on visitors considering New 575 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 7: Zealand as a destination. We're in a global market to 576 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 7: try to get tourism back to recovery, and we're lagging somewhat. 577 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 7: So any type of initiative needs to have a little 578 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 7: bit of a runway, It needs a bit of a 579 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 7: lead time, and in hindsight, you know, the industry, we 580 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 7: do believe that these increasing fees have had an impact. 581 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 7: We knew they were going to come but we would 582 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 7: have hoped that they would have come later this year, 583 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 7: not last year. 584 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 2: All right, Linda, So in a nutshell, it's a good move. 585 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 2: It'll take time, tibed in, but well we'll reap the benefits. 586 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 7: Soon, Yes, exactly. 587 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 2: Oh good on you, Linda. Linda Keen there, who's the 588 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 2: Tourism Council chief executive. Good stuff, good stuff with that 589 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 2: in Netflix and more milk and cheese being exported will 590 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 2: be away and laughing, we'll have enough to retire on 591 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 2: and no time at all.

I'm sure that is very 605 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 2: much the case. Thank you, Shane, Mike Hosking, good to 606 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 2: see you, see you too. You're back. 607 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 13: I am back, well money because I'm broke, and so 608 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 13: I just speaking of retirement because I use my holiday 609 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 13: period to work out and assatain whether or not I 610 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 13: want to retire or not, and I can't afford to us. 611 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 13: It turns out but encouraging to know that it's only 612 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 13: half a million dollars because they do this thing every year, 613 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 13: of course, and it doesn't seem to have gone up, 614 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 13: but it is predicated on the idea that you don't 615 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 13: have a mortgage, and rural versus city is completely different. 616 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 13: Living in the country is a lot cheaper than living 617 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 13: in the city, and of course you need what else 618 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 13: do you need? You've see no mortgage and rural versus 619 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 13: so it's less if you're in the rural part of 620 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 13: the country. 621 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 2: Most of us have traditionally tied up our money and 622 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 2: our property right selling it thinking I'm going to move 623 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 2: to Gore, from Wellington to Gore, I'm gonna have millions 624 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 2: in the back. Gore has now become very expensive, hasn't it. 625 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 13: It has the other thing. If you don't own property 626 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 13: in terms of saving for retirement, you are in the market, 627 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 13: of course, and one of the things you would have 628 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 13: done is buying video. But because of the Chinese this morning, 629 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 13: if you're following the market, they so the Chinese are 630 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 13: one of the great stories of the year, as far 631 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 13: as I can work out. Having said that, I know 632 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 13: I'm rambling slightly, but it's my first day back. You've 633 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 13: seen the BYD, you know BYD speaking of the Chinese 634 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 13: and the ev I saw a shark the. 635 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 2: Other day, which is their new ute. 636 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 13: Yes, and it's not a bad looking thing as far 637 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 13: as square things go. That can haulsome anywhey. Look, do 638 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 13: you know what they are new now? A brand new ute? 639 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 13: No tell me seventy grand seventy grand for a brand 640 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 13: new youth. I don't think there's anyone in the market 641 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 13: that can compete with that. And that's why the Chinese 642 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 13: slowly but surely are going to take over the world. 643 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 13: And that's before I get to Nauru, which you up 644 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 13: on Naaruru. So Peters was going to Nauru meeting with 645 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 13: the President doesn't want to meet anymore. So we've frozen 646 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 13: our aid in a very Trump esque sort of move 647 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 13: because the Narulians are of course now tied up very 648 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 13: tightly with the Chinese. 649 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 6: Wow. 650 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 13: So the geopolitical state of the country the region is fascinating, 651 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 13: which is very good because we've got the Prime Minister 652 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 13: on the sea. 653 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 2: There you go.
