1 00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: The only drive show you can trust to ask the questions, 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,560 Speaker 1: get the answers by the facts, and give the analysis. 3 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 1: Heather Duplessy Ellen Drive with One New Zealand. Let's get 4 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 1: connected and you talk as they'd be. 5 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 2: Good afternoon, Welcome to the show. Coming up today, We've 6 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 2: just got the first official report into why the Artitetda 7 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 2: ran aground. You remember that we're going to speak to 8 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 2: the Enter Islander Boss after five. Sharon Zolner, a and 9 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 2: Z's chief economist on white business confidences up again and 10 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 2: Ordefeno was mayor on whether they're going to actually start 11 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 2: mowing the burms and live in again. 12 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 3: Heather Duplicy Ellen, Look, I'm. 13 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 2: Not altogether surprised that Mike King's comments on the show 14 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 2: yesterday have sparked a debate. And the reason I'm not 15 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 2: surprised is because what he said, some of what he 16 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 2: said at least, is factually wrong. 17 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 4: Alcohol is not a problem for people with mental health issues. 18 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 4: It's actually the solution to our problem. 19 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 3: Now. 20 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 2: Remember we are specifically talking about suicide here, and for 21 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 2: people with suicide suicidal ideation, alcohol is actually a problem 22 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 2: because what it does is at low as inhibitions when 23 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,759 Speaker 2: you're drunk, your own inhibitions are a little bit lower, right, 24 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 2: so people are more likely to act on their feelings. 25 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 2: It is also a depressant. Drink enough low as your mood. 26 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 2: If you're already unhappy, it's going to make you more unhappy. 27 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 2: But then some of what he said to be fair 28 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 2: to him is also his own lived experience and trying 29 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 2: to cope with his mental health issues. 30 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 4: I'm a drug addict and alcoholic in my whole life. 31 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 4: I use drugs and alcohol to stop that little voice 32 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 4: inside my head that told me that I wasn't good enough, 33 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 4: that I was useless. 34 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: Now you can't argue with that as much, can you, 35 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 2: Because that's his experience, from his perspective of living through that, 36 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 2: and there is actually evidence that alcohol does provide a 37 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 2: mental escape, certainly in the moment. What I am a 38 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: little bit surprised by is the strength of the reaction 39 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: to Mike King today. I mean, I was absolutely expecting 40 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 2: the anti alcohol people to get wound up what they 41 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: often do, but I was not really expecting that the 42 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 2: Labour Party would go quite as far as they have. 43 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 2: They have today called for government funding of gun Boot 44 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 2: Friday to be reconsidered. Now, just consider what that means. Right, 45 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 2: they are asking the government to stop helping people deal 46 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 2: with their mental health issues because of what Mike King said. 47 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 2: Is that reasonable? I mean, let's be clear what's going 48 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 2: on here. This is political. There was a time when 49 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 2: everybody loved Mike King. Everybody thought he was a good 50 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 2: guy doing good work for mental health. But then he 51 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 2: became a political figure, didn't he Because he took on 52 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 2: Jacinda Ardurn when she was Prime Minister. He had a 53 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 2: public scrap with her because her government pulled funding for 54 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 2: his charity, handed back his Order of Merit metal. The 55 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 2: NATS then adopted him. They funded his charity once they 56 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: got into government in a way that the Orders to 57 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 2: General is not totally happy with. And now people are 58 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 2: split on whether they love Mike King or not, and 59 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 2: probably in some cases that split will indicate pretty much 60 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 2: how they vote. 61 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 3: Now. 62 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 2: I'm not saying Mike King is above criticism. I'm not 63 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 2: saying Mike King's above scrutiny all that this isn't a 64 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 2: debate worth having about what he said. I'm just saying 65 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 2: bear in mind and that when we do have this 66 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 2: debate about what he's just said, This isn't just about 67 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 2: mental health, This isn't just about alcohol. This is also 68 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 2: very much now about politics. 69 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 3: Ever do for Clan nine nineteer is. 70 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 2: The text numbers standard text fees apply now to another subject, 71 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 2: Consumer New Zealand. Once the government's inquiry into E New 72 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 2: Zealand's prices, they say E New Zealand has a virtual 73 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 2: monopoly domestically, so they want the Commerce Commission to do 74 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 2: a market study and consumer in z CEO's John Duffy, Hey, John. 75 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 3: Hey here they have the guard good, thank you. 76 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 2: Now, what do you reckon? A market study is going 77 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 2: to find? 78 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 5: Well, it would bring some transparency into pricing in the 79 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 5: New Zealand aviation market. So at the moment we've got 80 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 5: a whole lot of confusion, a whole lot of really 81 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 5: high prices and a whole lot of annoyed consumers and 82 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 5: we need to get to the bottom of what's driving 83 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 5: prices in this market. 84 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, now, transparency is cool, but that doesn't sound like 85 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 2: it's actually going to fix anything or change anything for 86 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 2: me or you, is it. 87 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's the start, it's the start of change. So 88 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 5: it's very easy to point your finger at you know, 89 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 5: one or two potential causes for high prices. But until 90 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 5: you've done a comprehensive study and you can say, actually, 91 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 5: this is what the market dynamics look like, it's it's 92 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 5: very difficult to say these are the things that we 93 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 5: can do to fix the problems in the market. And 94 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 5: you know in previous market studies, you know that that 95 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 5: has been the you know, the problem that people have 96 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 5: raised the market studies happened that say supermarkets or banks 97 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 5: or fuel and the market doesn't change immediately the commiscrisis 98 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 5: pint and report lands, but it allows for a reason 99 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 5: to evidence based debate on what the next best options are, 100 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 5: and then you can hand it back to the government 101 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 5: and say, all right, you know what you could do 102 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 5: to fix things. It's up to you whether you do 103 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 5: it or not. 104 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 2: So what do we do if we find out that 105 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 2: they're making too much money off us? 106 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 5: That's that's a good question. We look at perhaps what 107 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 5: the barriers too this is in the market are facing 108 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,919 Speaker 5: so that they can expand their operation and use natural 109 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 5: competitive tension to lower prices an increased service. So when 110 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 5: we say we need an inquiry into the aviation market, 111 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 5: we're not just saying this is a this is a 112 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 5: look at air New Zealand. Although in New Zealand are 113 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 5: a very dominant force in the domestic aviation market, we're 114 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 5: saying we need to have a look at the whole 115 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 5: shooting match. So the role airports play, the role, small 116 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 5: airlines play the role a border transport infrastructure players. Because 117 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 5: you know, if you could, if you can get in 118 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 5: the car reasonably as an alternative for flying, that's actually 119 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 5: a competition. If you my coach, those are that influence 120 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 5: your decision whether or not to buy an airline price 121 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 5: and influence how those airlines set their prices to compete 122 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 5: with other modes of transportation. 123 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 2: So how many routes are there where a New Zealand 124 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 2: has got no other competition in the air. 125 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 5: Look, I don't have that in front of me, but 126 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 5: it as more than half of the roots of New Zealand. 127 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 5: There are New Zealand in New Zealand has a virtual 128 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 5: monopoly or there is or there is only offering limited 129 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 5: feat in competition. 130 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 2: So would you count, for example, like Wellington depict in 131 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 2: as a virtual monopoly because there's just a very small 132 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 2: player up against in New Zealand. 133 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 5: I'm not even sure if any zerom flies and depict 134 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 5: in but I know sounds. 135 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 6: Maybe not route. 136 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 2: But let's say Blenham. Let's say Wellington Blenham. 137 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 5: Yep, Wellington Blenham or Wellington Nelson. There is there's there's 138 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 5: one other player, as I understand it, with limited capacity 139 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 5: flying those routes. 140 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 3: Virtual monopoly then certainly a high market share. 141 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 5: But then if you look at I don't know Wellington 142 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 5: gibsmon for example, I don't think there's anyone else. If 143 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 5: any Zealand is not flying that day, that's a problem 144 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 5: if you live in Gisbon and need to get home. 145 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 2: John, how much money would be too much money that 146 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 2: they'd be making off us? 147 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 5: Well, well, that's a big question. Is so we we 148 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 5: discovered that a million dollars a day in excess profits 149 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 5: was too much for for supermarkets to be making. You know, 150 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 5: the New Zealand public is very very uncomfortable with that. 151 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 5: The complicating factor here is that, you know, there's a 152 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 5: bit of a merry go round of money here because 153 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 5: the government is a majority shareholder in New Zealand. So 154 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 5: if in New Zealand are making profits above what they 155 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 5: should be in a normally competitive market, some of those 156 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 5: profits are going back to the government as the majority shareholder. 157 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 5: Whether those are know whether that's appropriate or not, that's 158 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 5: another question, and probably more of a political question than 159 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 5: one a competition inquiry would answer. 160 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 2: John, Thanks very much, John Duffy, consuming New Zealand CEO. 161 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 2: Hey to the States really quickly. The Economist has changed 162 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,559 Speaker 2: its prediction for the American election next week. You remember 163 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 2: last week I was tell last week, I was telling 164 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 2: that the Economist was calling it for Donald Trump. This 165 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 2: week as in like from today, they are now saying 166 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 2: too close to call fifty to fifty. They can't call 167 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 2: it anymore. They are going to update it. This is 168 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 2: going to be a changing thing for them. They will update. 169 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 2: They basically do an aggregate of the available polls and 170 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 2: they will update it, by the looks of things, every 171 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 2: day until we get to the election. Anyway, the reason 172 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 2: it's now fifty to fifty is because of the new 173 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 2: poles that have come out just in the last twenty 174 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 2: four hours. There were sixty five which moved the dial 175 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 2: in Carmela's favor. The most influential polls were in four 176 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 2: states Michigan, North Carolina, with Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and in 177 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 2: those states, get this this is how close things are. 178 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 2: Her vote share rose by an average of zero point 179 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 2: four percentage points. Right, it's not even one, it's not 180 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 2: even half of one. It's zero point four. It's tiny, 181 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 2: but it was enough to take her from a forty 182 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 2: four percent chance of winning to a fifty percent chance 183 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 2: of winning. So it is tacked lack a tiger called 184 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 2: a past. 185 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: Digging deeper into the day's headlines, it's Heather Duper c 186 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: Allen Drive with one New Zealand one giant leaf for business, 187 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: US dogs at b Sport with tab get your bed 188 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: on R eighteen bet responsibly. 189 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 2: Darcy Watgrave, sports talk host, busy watching the Dodgers. 190 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 7: I know I'm not the massive baseball fan, but this 191 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 7: is so good because coast West Coast, it's coming up 192 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 7: to the crunch and it looks like at Yankee Stadium 193 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 7: the Dodgers might just get it done. 194 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 8: It's the bottom of the eighth.

It's the only reason that you're talking 206 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 2: about the Dodgers because Matt Heath has been talking about 207 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 2: it for three days? 208 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 8: No, No, because it's been on in the sports department 209 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 8: for the last week. 210 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 2: Is that also because Matt Heath has been talking about him? 211 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 10: No notice? 212 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 7: Because we work in the sports department.

I don't care, but 214 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 7: as soon as I buy into it, I'm excited by it. 215 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 7: I used to watch baseball back in the day when 216 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 7: I was a lot younger, when jose Consakas was there, 217 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 7: and he used to take an order amount of drugs 218 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 7: in order to hit the ball the distance he did. 219 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 7: It was a freak show. It was like a michelin 220 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 7: man with a toothpick. But I went and saw a 221 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,479 Speaker 7: game of ball when I was over in San Francisco, 222 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 7: and it was an incredible experience. Americans can do live sport. 223 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 10: It was stunning. 224 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 8: So I had used the replay TVs that the people 225 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 8: turning up with with food and the. 226 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 9: Way to go. 227 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 2: I had a different experience to you. But Matt Heath 228 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 2: told me it may be because I bought cheap tickets. 229 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 2: But I said to him, I couldn't get into it 230 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 2: when I was in New York because I couldn't see 231 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 2: the ball because it's just so fast, right, And it's 232 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 2: not like cricket where there's like a good run up 233 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,599 Speaker 2: and then the bowling action and stuff like, it's just 234 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,599 Speaker 2: a dude standing there throwing the ball and it's so 235 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,839 Speaker 2: fast you just you can't see it. 236 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 8: With hockey is like that, it's really hard to see 237 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 8: the pack. But when you go live to a game 238 00:10:54,840 --> 00:11:00,040 Speaker 8: because it's go was too far away where the replay screen. 239 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 7: In San Francisco is so big it'd be three or 240 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 7: four times as big as Eden Park itself. 241 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 8: You can't miss anything. 242 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,839 Speaker 7: Everything see for you to watch a little men down 243 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 7: the action because we've got cheap seats up the top, 244 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 7: but then your seat. 245 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 2: You got to watch the screen. 246 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 8: Oh the screen. 247 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 7: It was really really but the beer was phenomenally expensive. 248 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 7: I got a can of beer.

We already 311 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 2: knew that the autopilot was the problem, that somebody put 312 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 2: it on at the wrong time, and we also knew 313 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 2: that the crew couldn't get rid of it because they 314 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 2: didn't realize they had to pres it for five seconds. 315 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 2: But there is a lot of other stuff in here, 316 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 2: and a lot of questions that are unanswered, because this 317 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 2: is just their first official report, not the final report. 318 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,719 Speaker 2: What we didn't know was that in charge that night 319 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 2: was a night master, but he wasn't piloting the ship. 320 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 2: Somebody else was piloting the ship. It was It was 321 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 2: an experienced master who hadn't been on the utter seady 322 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 2: for a while, so he needed to refamiliarize himself. So 323 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 2: the night Master was supposed to be watching the sky 324 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 2: piloting the ship ship as he got basically back to 325 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 2: understanding how the auto seeddy worked. What we also found 326 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 2: out is that he, the chap who was refamiliarizing himself, 327 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 2: hit the autopilot too late. It was like more than 328 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 2: thirty seconds too late, and that's basically what calls the kafuffle. 329 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 2: The Nightmaster doesn't appear to have been paying attention to 330 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 2: the chap who was piloting the ship. He was off 331 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 2: doing something else. He was familiarizing another master with the 332 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 2: vessel's controls, so the chap he was actually in charge 333 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 2: was distracted while old my over here, who's learning how 334 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 2: to do this again, presses the autopilot too late. Then 335 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 2: what happens? Oh, then he notices, of course headed for 336 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 2: the beach. Major problems. So then they try to He 337 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 2: and the helmsman and the officer of the watch each 338 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 2: take turns trying to press the autopilot disabled button, and 339 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 2: they can't get the thing to disabled because they don't realize. 340 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 2: After prison for five seconds, none of them know this fact. 341 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 2: We don't know why they don't know this fact.

We'll definitely get across that. Murray Olds 412 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 2: is standing by to have a chat to us and 413 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 2: Barry Soap is going to be at us in ten 414 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 2: minutes time.

The way 417 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 2: I heard what he said was different to the way 418 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 2: that half these people have jumped on him. He was 419 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 2: giving his experience and I agree entirely with what he said, 420 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 2: and by the way, in my view, he is still 421 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 2: a great guy doing great work. Those lefties are just 422 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 2: annoyed that he called out Jacinda Hither. I like Mike, 423 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 2: but his comments, yes that they were harmful and irresponsible. 424 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 2: As a celebrity and as an advocate, he has a 425 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 2: duty to rise above and promote a healthy narrative for 426 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 2: vulnerable people.

Come on, Ingrid, you know 443 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 2: you come and talk to us about it. We have 444 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 2: a little chat about that. Twenty one away from five. 445 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 3: It's the world wires on news Talks.

Even so, obviously, the Harris campaign was 457 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 11: not hoping that you and I and our panel here 458 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 11: would be discussing Joe Biden today. They were hoping to 459 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 11: be looking at Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. 460 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 2: The UK government has announced tax increases of more than 461 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 2: eighty seven billion New Zealand dollars.

Now, this particular tadpole died and was 470 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 2: preserved one hundred and sixty million years ago. For context, 471 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 2: that's about one hundred million years before even the t 472 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 2: rex has existed.

That's what 556 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 9: he seemed to be saying. And he had done it himself. 557 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 9: I mean, he's an alcoholic, and you know he was 558 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 9: suicidal at times in his life and alcohol helped him 559 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 9: through those periods. So I know it's not conventional wisdom. 560 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 9: If you look at the University of Otago professor Rose Crossing, 561 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 9: she said, there is certainly a link between alcohol and depression. 562 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 9: I don't think anybody would argue with that, but it's 563 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 9: the trigger for suicide that Mike King was talking about. 564 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,719 Speaker 9: And I must say, you know, I know Mike King 565 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 9: reasonably well, and he is outspoken, he sees what he thinks, 566 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 9: and at times probably he does step over the mark. 567 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 9: But for the Labor Party and Ingrid Lary, I'm surprised 568 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 9: she's not coming on because she used to be a broadcaster, 569 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 9: so she's. 570 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 2: This is what we just got this news through from 571 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 2: from Laura, the producer who just said that the Labor 572 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 2: Party and Ingrid Larry have declined to come on the show. 573 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 2: Did they say, why Laura is she not available? 574 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: Well? 575 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 9: No, they're so busy in recess here that No. 576 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 2: Ingrid is very busy, don't you know. I don't quite 577 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 2: know what she's busy with, but it's something. But come on, Ingrid, 578 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 2: I mean, how can you put out a press release, 579 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 2: How can you put out a press release, whether you're 580 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 2: right or wrong, calling for funding to be pulled from 581 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 2: an organization that actually does help kids with mental health 582 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 2: issues because you're angry at the guy who's made a 583 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 2: comment and then not so you put that out there 584 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 2: for everybody, But then you don't want to come on 585 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 2: and defend it. 586 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 1: You know. 587 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 9: The argument is, she says, can I ever say to 588 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 9: continue to fund gumboot Friday sends a message to young 589 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 9: people that alcohol use is a recognized treatment for mental 590 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 9: health issues. Well, to me, she's got it totally what 591 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,360 Speaker 9: he's saying. If she believes that, then she should come 592 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 9: on the progress to explain he she is an ideate. 593 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 2: Clear, she's an idiot because saying stuff like this. So 594 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 2: what we're so the message she's sending younger people is 595 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 2: that absolutely she's going to pull all assistance for them 596 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 2: through this particular charity because she's going to punish the 597 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 2: guy who's running the thing. 598 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 9: And the point is about the fund. It's twenty four 599 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 9: million dollars and I know he struggled off the Labor 600 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 9: Party and the government to get money. The twenty four 601 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 9: million isn't one lump sum payment. It's over four years, 602 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 9: so six million dollars a year. It doesn't go into 603 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 9: Mike King's account in the Gunboot Friday account. It actually 604 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,199 Speaker 9: goes into the Ministry of Health account and then they 605 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 9: after they've used counseling services for the young people, then 606 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 9: they apply. 607 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:51,919 Speaker 2: To the Ministry of her I'm just going to take 608 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,400 Speaker 2: a shue with something that you said. Though while Mike 609 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,680 Speaker 2: King did speak about his own personal experience, and I 610 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 2: don't think we can argue with him on that. He 611 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 2: did actually say alcohol is not a problem for people 612 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 2: with mental health, it's the solution. And that is a 613 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 2: factually incorrecttion. Well, I think is proticly just no. 614 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 9: I heard that he probably overstepped the mark here because, 615 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 9: like you and like me on radio, sometimes Hither he 616 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 9: gets quite excitable. 617 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 2: Fair enough, listen, Jinny Anderson. So she finally fronted up 618 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 2: and apologized for talking about the King's bits. She's sorry 619 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 2: enough for you. 620 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 9: Well, I find an extraordinary if you look at the 621 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 9: meme that she reposted on her Instagram account, there were 622 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 9: four lines to it, and she said she hadn't taken 623 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 9: time to read it properly or read it for goodness sake. 624 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 9: She's either a very slow reader or she doesn't understand 625 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 9: what it meant. I think that's probably closer to the truth. 626 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 9: But look, it's an embarrassment for her. 627 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 2: Barry, you'd have to be particularly dim not to understand 628 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 2: what that meant. Oh, it was pretty clear what it means. 629 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 9: Absolutely, and heither, there's a new word in the vocabulary 630 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 9: for you. It's it's a portomanteau. Yes, yes, and that's 631 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 9: sort of a new word for you, Barry. Well, yes, no, 632 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 9: I opened, yeah, yeah, I had to look it up. 633 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 9: But look, what is it about the Labor Party and pents? 634 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 9: You remember back in two thousand and two, poor old 635 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 9: Helen Clark got taken taken to the cleaners, if you like, 636 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 9: for wearing trousers at a state banquet for the Queen. 637 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 9: This is twenty two years ago and all Hall had 638 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 9: broken this.

When I was there, I didn't 640 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 9: notice anything was terribly out of order, but it blew 641 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 9: up in her face that she had disrespected loyalty. Apparently 642 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 9: they are meant to taste the soup first.

However, however, 674 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 2: I do stand by the sentiment. Come on, you can't 675 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 2: be Ingrid Leary and say that it's okay and call 676 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 2: for the pulling of mental health funding because you cross 677 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 2: with the guy who made a comment which is going 678 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 2: to directly affect young people up and down this country. 679 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 2: You can't play political political games with mental health funding 680 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 2: and they not want to talk about it like you 681 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 2: are a person of low intelligence if you do that, 682 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? Or you'd have a 683 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 2: better bloody great excuse, like right at that minute, you're 684 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 2: getting a wax job or something that is very important, 685 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 2: like equally important, do you know what I mean? Anyway, Well, 686 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 2: we'll see if Ingrid Front's up to talk to us 687 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 2: at some stage. Listen, we've got to talk about the 688 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 2: Travis Scott concert at Eden Park. WHOA, that was wild 689 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 2: last night. You will have seen the footage were they're 690 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 2: just like, look, I was expecting this to happen because 691 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 2: the same same thing happened in Sydney. We kids started 692 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 2: fighting with each other and as we were discussing on 693 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 2: the show yesterday. I mean, people have died in a 694 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 2: Travis Scott concert before, but it was while to what 695 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 2: should happened at Eden Park. All of a sudden, the 696 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 2: crowd would just open up with this massive circle of 697 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 2: like no you know, with people surrounding it, and these 698 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 2: kids would just be getting into fights and punching each 699 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 2: other and carrying on. Now, I have a suspicion that 700 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 2: at least some of that, not all of it, but 701 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 2: at least some of it was organized where they were 702 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 2: bored and so they started punching each other because a 703 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 2: couple of the kids actually hugged after their punch up, 704 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 2: so it didn't look like there was agro involved it, 705 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 2: just like they were bored, which is the I think 706 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 2: this is a Travis Scott and an organizer problem because 707 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 2: I think the gates opened at something like five o'clock 708 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 2: or thereabouts. I don't know what time they opened, but 709 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,239 Speaker 2: that guy was not on stage, and by the way, 710 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 2: he sucked. We'll talk about the reviews later. He was 711 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 2: not on stage until nine o'clock right and in between, 712 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 2: So that whole time leading up to nine o'clock, no 713 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 2: opening acts, just a DJ who played for honestly about 714 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 2: fifteen minutes. So you just had people standing there for 715 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 2: literally hours on end, bored out of their minds. That 716 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 2: was badly That was badly done by Travis Scott. Anyway, 717 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 2: we'll deal with the review later on in the program. 718 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 2: Next up, let's talk to inter Island about what happened 719 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 2: on the boat that ran into the sand. News Talk said, be. 720 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 3: Pressing the newsmakers to get the real story. 721 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 1: It's hither duple see Ellen drive with one New Zealand 722 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: let's get connected. 723 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 3: News Talk said, be. 724 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 2: Afternoon, So we finally got the official account of why 725 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 2: the Artis had a ferry ran onto that beach near 726 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 2: Pecton in June. Turns out it is basically what we 727 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 2: had already heard. The autopilot took the vessel off in 728 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 2: the wrong direction and nobody on board knew how to 729 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 2: disable the autopilot. 730 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 3: What we have established is that. 731 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 22: They did not know that they had to hold the 732 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 22: button down, nor were they aware that they did not know. 733 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 2: Duncan Roy is the Inter Islanders executive general manager. Hey, Duncan, Hi, 734 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 2: Heather good to be back, Duncan. 735 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 14: Listen. 736 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 2: Everything goes wrong when the refound master, who's the chap 737 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 2: who is learning the boat again presses the autopilot more 738 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 2: than thirty seconds too late. Why did that happen? 739 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 17: So you'll notice today that take put out a list 740 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,760 Speaker 17: of statements of facts. One of the things they didn't 741 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 17: do was make comment on why that button was pushed, 742 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 17: because they have an ongoing investigation and I'm not going 743 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 17: to comment on that either. What I can say is 744 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 17: that the ship did move to starboard in the era, 745 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,240 Speaker 17: and after that they went through the process of regaining 746 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 17: control and they couldn't do that immediately, and then they 747 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 17: went through another series of their processes to slow the 748 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 17: ship down and attempt to stop it before it ground slowly. 749 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 2: The chap who was actually in charge the nightmaster, was 750 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 2: he properly supervising the refam master when he presses the 751 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 2: button too late? 752 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:45,720 Speaker 10: Totally. 753 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,800 Speaker 17: The nightmaster is in control of the bridge and he 754 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 17: had the appropriate people on the bridge with him. He 755 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 17: was refaming another master. We do that so they can 756 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 17: maintain currency as they move around the ships. This is 757 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 17: accepted practice and was normal prep normal. 758 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 2: Because it just sounds like what's probably happened to he 759 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:04,919 Speaker 2: is they're having a little chat about how the boat 760 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 2: works and they chat for thirty seconds too long as 761 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:08,400 Speaker 2: the button gets pressed too late. 762 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 10: Yeah, no, when they. 763 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 17: When the button was pushed in the ship moved to starboard. 764 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 17: You know, large ships take time to change course. It 765 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 17: was an unexpected turn. It's at night, so that's an 766 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 17: understandable timeline to react to. 767 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, but the button was pressed too late. 768 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:26,439 Speaker 10: The button was pressed in the error. 769 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 2: Oh, it wasn't supposed to be pressed at all. 770 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,360 Speaker 10: No, the button was pressed and the ship changed direction 771 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 10: to startard. 772 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 2: Why didn't they know that they had to press the 773 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,879 Speaker 2: disabled button for five seconds at least to disable the autopilot. 774 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 17: That is the key question that we're looking at now 775 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 17: that we've got the Oaritary back into service. He's done 776 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 17: three hundred and sixty four sailings, including three today, So 777 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 17: frustrating this thing happened. 778 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 10: We are lucky. 779 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 2: Don't tell me you don't know what the answer to 780 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:55,360 Speaker 2: that question is. 781 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 17: So they didn't know on the bridge, we didn't know. 782 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 17: An into island up working with the people that provided 783 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 17: us the service right now as we spect to work 784 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,280 Speaker 17: out why we didn't know, Well, we have done those 785 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 17: We solved the problem immediately, so now we're working on 786 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 17: going forward and fixing this so it doesn't happen again. 787 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 10: Change. 788 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 2: How do you honestly, I mean, it's so basic, right, 789 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 2: It's a basic question of going to them and being like, 790 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 2: why didn't you know?

What do you put this optimism down to? 842 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:33,280 Speaker 2: Is this basically the rate cuts? 843 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,400 Speaker 23: I'd say so, I mean, when it boils down to it, 844 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 23: the slow down scene caused by higher interest rates. So 845 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,279 Speaker 23: why wouldn't lower interest rates be the solution. There hasn't 846 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,840 Speaker 23: been a lot else going on. There's obviously some fiscal 847 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:49,439 Speaker 23: cutting that's hurting Wellington and the export markets in China. 848 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,880 Speaker 23: Maybe answer great at the moment, but but overall the 849 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 23: slowdown has really been a result of interest rates. So 850 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 23: in that context, perhaps not surprising to see a fairly 851 00:38:58,160 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 23: enthusiastic response to rates. 852 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 2: Now, what are you seeing in the construction sector. 853 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 23: Well, that's a really interesting one because the construction sector 854 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,239 Speaker 23: is by far the most sensitive to interest rates, and 855 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 23: it's just generally on a bigger rollercoaster than the rest 856 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,879 Speaker 23: of the economy. It was booming the most in twenty 857 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 23: twenty one, but it's actually been the weakest since early 858 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,400 Speaker 23: twenty twenty three in terms of what they are reporting 859 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 23: for experienced activity as opposed to their expectations. But they've 860 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,399 Speaker 23: also had the biggest lift in that. So this isn't 861 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 23: just the hope and optimism looking forward that fewer construction 862 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,200 Speaker 23: cerms are now reporting that they're less busy than a 863 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 23: year ago. They're still the majority, So you know, it's 864 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,920 Speaker 23: still pretty tough times, absolutely, but things are just perhaps 865 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:40,520 Speaker 23: starting to. 866 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:41,279 Speaker 15: Look up a little. 867 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 2: What are you expecting in the unemployment numbers next week? 868 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 23: We're picking four point nine. There, reserve banks at five. 869 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 23: I've seen an estimate of five point one out there, 870 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 23: so we're all there or thereabouts. The number can surprise 871 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 23: us because it's impacted not only by how many people 872 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,280 Speaker 23: are employed, but also by how many people are looking 873 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,359 Speaker 23: for work, and that can actually jump around quite a bit, 874 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 23: so the details will matter. But we're all forecasting at 875 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:08,759 Speaker 23: number around five, right. 876 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 2: Four point nine from you guys on the path to what. 877 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 23: We're picking around five and a half. That seems to 878 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,640 Speaker 23: be the general expectation. There are some people picking that 879 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:22,880 Speaker 23: could go as high as six. Hopefully not, but you know, 880 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,840 Speaker 23: in the early nineteen nineties it went well into double digits. 881 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,319 Speaker 23: But there in our survey too there was some good news, 882 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:34,840 Speaker 23: employment intentions lifting strongly and actually firms reported past employment 883 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,440 Speaker 23: also lifting again, still negative, but it does suggest that 884 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 23: perhaps the margin some ferns are choosing to keep their 885 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,319 Speaker 23: staff in anticipation of better times. 886 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 3: Love it. 887 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great, hey, Sharon, thank you very much, appreciate it. 888 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 2: Sharon's on Ains's chief economists. Okay, we're going to live 889 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 2: in next because it looks like there may be a 890 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,360 Speaker 2: back down coming on the berms. We'll get across that. 891 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:58,359 Speaker 2: Fourteen past five. Hey, by now you've absolutely definitely heard 892 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 2: about the BYD Sharks six super Hybrid, having you. I mean, 893 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,640 Speaker 2: this has been a long much anticipated weight but pre 894 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 2: orders officially and finally here, this one is going to 895 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,560 Speaker 2: take a huge bite out of the New Zealand market. 896 00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,960 Speaker 2: If you've been thinking about making the switch over to 897 00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,680 Speaker 2: one of these game changers, don't wait around. The first 898 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 2: production run is just three hundred units and of those 899 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,440 Speaker 2: only fifty are left to pre order. Now, these things 900 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,320 Speaker 2: are going to arrive in the country in December for 901 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 2: test stripes. And let me tell you, once you get 902 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,879 Speaker 2: behind the wheel to drive the BYD Shark six. These 903 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,320 Speaker 2: things are going to fly out of the dealerships even quicker. 904 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 2: BYD have officially changed the game with this. The future 905 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,520 Speaker 2: is electric and it is here now. The BYD Sharks 906 00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 2: six Super Hybrid available to pre order now just sixty nine, 907 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,000 Speaker 2: nine hundred and ninety dollars. But don't wait. Limited numbers 908 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,360 Speaker 2: of the first arrivals will be snapped up really really quickly, 909 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,799 Speaker 2: and this price is not going to be around forever either, 910 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,840 Speaker 2: So go to BYD Auto dot Co dot z for 911 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,080 Speaker 2: more and get in touch with your dealer tomorrow. 912 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,600 Speaker 3: Heather duper Clan eighteen past five. 913 00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 2: Now listen, it looks like there might be a little 914 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,400 Speaker 2: bit of a backdown coming on the Livin Boom saga. 915 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,000 Speaker 2: You'll remember this. The councils stopped mowing the BOMs back 916 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,239 Speaker 2: in July because they wanted to save some money, and 917 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,839 Speaker 2: then naturally there was an outcry from residents, and then 918 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 2: yesterday the council voted to have another look at whether 919 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,480 Speaker 2: they make the right call. Bernie London is the mayor 920 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:17,359 Speaker 2: of Hatera Fenwa is with us. Now, Hey, Bernie, good afternoon, Heather. 921 00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,319 Speaker 2: What's the problem. Is it a good idea and winter 922 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,720 Speaker 2: bad idea? In spring once the grass starts growing. 923 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,759 Speaker 24: Look, we're just wanting to understand what the impacts of 924 00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,880 Speaker 24: cutting cutting out there service it means. It does not 925 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,960 Speaker 24: mean that we are going to flip flop. All it 926 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,720 Speaker 24: means is that we want to understand what has happened 927 00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 24: since we stopped mowing burns. As you can understand, there 928 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,880 Speaker 24: are some people that are a bit put out by 929 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 24: it all. But and so we just want to understand 930 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:46,279 Speaker 24: what's going on. 931 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,040 Speaker 2: Is the town starting to look a little rough look 932 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 2: in patches. 933 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:51,880 Speaker 9: Yes it is. 934 00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 24: There's been some good raying lately and a bit of warp. 935 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:59,799 Speaker 24: So the booms are growing this, but we're also seeing. 936 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,719 Speaker 2: Is this in parts of town where people like are 937 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 2: not mowing the booms? Is that what's up? Some parts 938 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,000 Speaker 2: are nice, yeah, lotle are making it effort, and other 939 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,279 Speaker 2: parts are not so nice. Yeah, that's right. 940 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:10,520 Speaker 10: It is that case. 941 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:15,480 Speaker 24: And look, we've got towns in villages, especially Fox and Shannon, 942 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:19,040 Speaker 24: where they have very big booms, and that has causing 943 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,000 Speaker 24: some issues, especially with some of those that aren't physically 944 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 24: able or don't have the capacity to be able to 945 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,840 Speaker 24: mow their booms. So look, we just want to understand 946 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:31,000 Speaker 24: those issues and try and I suppose work out a 947 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:32,799 Speaker 24: plan that we may be able to accommodate. 948 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:36,120 Speaker 2: That is this also a case of people only really 949 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,960 Speaker 2: realizing what's happening once it's happening, Like they didn't know 950 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,719 Speaker 2: beforehand before you guys made this decision that this was 951 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 2: on the cards, but once it started to kind of 952 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,400 Speaker 2: get a bit of traction in the media, they got upset. 953 00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,320 Speaker 2: Is that what happened exactly? 954 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,440 Speaker 24: So this was part of our cost saving measures put 955 00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:51,840 Speaker 24: into our long term plane. 956 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 10: We had eighty eight. 957 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,120 Speaker 24: Percent of the people that responded to our long term 958 00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 24: plan ticked the box where they said that they wanted 959 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:03,080 Speaker 24: those savings to be made. Of course, now that we've 960 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 24: seen the impact of that, they're kicking up a fuss. 961 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,359 Speaker 2: Now, Bernie, how do we get around this right? Because 962 00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,960 Speaker 2: what the speaks to is the lack of engagement in 963 00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:15,080 Speaker 2: local government just by your average ratepayers. So do you 964 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,359 Speaker 2: guys need to make more of an effort to get 965 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,920 Speaker 2: it out there what you're planning to do before you 966 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:20,239 Speaker 2: do it? 967 00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,360 Speaker 24: Well, we try our best. Honestly, we've had more public 968 00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:30,879 Speaker 24: engagement and more meetings Facebook Live post the whole lot, 969 00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,360 Speaker 24: you know. I mean we try our best to engage 970 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,360 Speaker 24: with the community as best we can. Obviously with a 971 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,680 Speaker 24: long tim plan, there's a probably thirty issues that they 972 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,760 Speaker 24: need to deal with and this one may have fallen 973 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,400 Speaker 24: through the cracks and people not understood exactly what was 974 00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:45,759 Speaker 24: going on. 975 00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:47,359 Speaker 2: All right, Bernie, Hey, it's good to talk to you, mate, 976 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,600 Speaker 2: Thank you very much, appreciate it. It's Bunny Wondon. What 977 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,759 Speaker 2: if it is there here? The ask dun can wear 978 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,040 Speaker 2: the coffee machine on the vessel is because you'll find 979 00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,360 Speaker 2: it's on the bridge. So what that means is no 980 00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,160 Speaker 2: one had to leave the bridge to get a coffee. 981 00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:04,480 Speaker 2: Do you get it look possibility? Because I didn't think 982 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:06,320 Speaker 2: to ask that question, because I didn't think that that 983 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:10,319 Speaker 2: was a possibility. Well we've got the final report coming out, 984 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,720 Speaker 2: and surely surely that will be answered in that final 985 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:14,840 Speaker 2: report because coffee is the main issue heres. You can 986 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,520 Speaker 2: tell five to twenty one the name you trust to 987 00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:18,839 Speaker 2: get the answers you need. 988 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:22,640 Speaker 1: Heather duples ce allan drive with one New Zealand let's 989 00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,440 Speaker 1: get connected and news talk as. 990 00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,719 Speaker 2: They'd be twenty four past five. Listen, I don't love 991 00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,080 Speaker 2: in New Zealand at the moment. I mean, I love 992 00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,400 Speaker 2: the cabin crew, I always do. They are always awesome, 993 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,680 Speaker 2: but the airline probably, like you pretty grumpy at them 994 00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:36,279 Speaker 2: for the prices they charge. I don't want to tell 995 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,160 Speaker 2: you what I paid for prices recently for flights recently, 996 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:40,960 Speaker 2: just in case my husband's still listening, but it was 997 00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,680 Speaker 2: basically the equivalent of a central city rates bill. Oh, 998 00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,960 Speaker 2: is a lot of money for flights. So you would expect, 999 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,080 Speaker 2: given that I don't love in New Zealand at the moment, 1000 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:52,680 Speaker 2: that I would have a lot of sympathy for consuming 1001 00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,200 Speaker 2: New Zealand's call for a market study to deal with 1002 00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:59,400 Speaker 2: their New Zealand's quote virtual monopoly. But I don't because 1003 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:01,959 Speaker 2: this is just gonna be a waste of good money 1004 00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,040 Speaker 2: as well. What good is a market study? 1005 00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:04,279 Speaker 23: Right? 1006 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,279 Speaker 2: What if we do a market study, what good is 1007 00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:07,960 Speaker 2: it gonna do? What is it going to tell us 1008 00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:09,680 Speaker 2: that we don't already know? I mean, we already know 1009 00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:11,800 Speaker 2: that there's a competition problem here. We already know that 1010 00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,200 Speaker 2: they have a monopoly in some parts of the country 1011 00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,480 Speaker 2: because in New Zealand is the only airline that flies 1012 00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,760 Speaker 2: into some parts of the country that is the definition 1013 00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:20,800 Speaker 2: of a monopoly. You don't need a market study to 1014 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,120 Speaker 2: tell you that. We know they charge too much for 1015 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 2: some flights. We don't have evidence of that, but common 1016 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,640 Speaker 2: sense would dictate that if you've got no competition, then 1017 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:30,800 Speaker 2: you can charge what you want and you will push it. 1018 00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,160 Speaker 2: They have no competition, they can charge what they want. 1019 00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,080 Speaker 2: In some parts of the country, they're probably pushing it. 1020 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:38,880 Speaker 2: Prices suggests they are so when the market still study 1021 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,480 Speaker 2: tells us inevitably, if we were to do it what 1022 00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,920 Speaker 2: we already know, what are we gonna do? Then what 1023 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:46,400 Speaker 2: are we gonna do? Are we gonna tell them how 1024 00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,719 Speaker 2: much they can charge us? Who's gonna do that job? 1025 00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,600 Speaker 2: Who's gonna sit there calculating with the seventh last seat 1026 00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:53,800 Speaker 2: on the eleven to ten flight from Auckland to Wellington 1027 00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,719 Speaker 2: on a Monday is allowed to be sold at and 1028 00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,399 Speaker 2: are they going to do that for the sixth last 1029 00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:00,360 Speaker 2: seat as well, and then the fifth last seat and 1030 00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,120 Speaker 2: all the way through the last seat. Are they going 1031 00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:05,400 Speaker 2: to calculate all of those prices? The best argument for 1032 00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,880 Speaker 2: the market study that Consumer New Zealand mounted today is 1033 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:13,400 Speaker 2: that basically, we may need to find out why we 1034 00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:15,960 Speaker 2: have a competition problem, why is that other airlines don't 1035 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,399 Speaker 2: want to take on these routes? But I actually don't 1036 00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,000 Speaker 2: think we need a market study for that. I mean, 1037 00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:21,880 Speaker 2: I think quite simply the Minister, if he wants to 1038 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,600 Speaker 2: fix this, can just phone up some potential competitors and 1039 00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:26,600 Speaker 2: find out why they're not doing it, what the problem 1040 00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:29,239 Speaker 2: is there? You get your answer. I don't like paying 1041 00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,600 Speaker 2: Air New Zealand's exorbitant rates any more than you do. 1042 00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:34,560 Speaker 2: But I also do not like wasting tax payer money 1043 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,319 Speaker 2: and officials time, which is basically tax payer money again, 1044 00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,360 Speaker 2: doing a market study just so that you consume a 1045 00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,759 Speaker 2: New Zealand can keep on a campaign that's obviously working 1046 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,680 Speaker 2: very well for them. I mean, I think we're already 1047 00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,560 Speaker 2: wasting enough money on the Air New Zealand tickets and 1048 00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:49,759 Speaker 2: wasting one lot of money on Air New Zealand is 1049 00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:50,560 Speaker 2: frankly enough for me. 1050 00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:54,600 Speaker 3: Thanks Heather Duplice, Ellen Mike King's. 1051 00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,000 Speaker 2: Comments, We're going to have a chat to an alcohol 1052 00:47:56,080 --> 00:48:00,839 Speaker 2: or a psychologist, psychological researcher after headlines, which is coming 1053 00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:04,240 Speaker 2: up very shortly, stand by for that obviously.

But pleased for the funds 1059 00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,719 Speaker 2: that brought into Auckland and the new roof will help 1060 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:26,399 Speaker 2: keep a little on at age. Tell you what, I'm 1061 00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:29,640 Speaker 2: never gonna buy myself at Travis Scott album. I am 1062 00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,560 Speaker 2: never going to listen to any Travis Scott ever in 1063 00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:35,239 Speaker 2: my life again, because that was horrific. I stood there going, 1064 00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,680 Speaker 2: how the hell does this guy make any money off 1065 00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:40,840 Speaker 2: this nonsense coming out of his mouth right now? Definitely, 1066 00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:45,920 Speaker 2: what happened I think was that I realized, absolutely, with 1067 00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,759 Speaker 2: no doubt in my mind last night for the first time, 1068 00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,160 Speaker 2: that I am now old, because I feel like I 1069 00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,319 Speaker 2: had the same experience that my mum would have had 1070 00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:54,960 Speaker 2: when I was listening to Doctor Dre when I was 1071 00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:55,440 Speaker 2: a teenager. 1072 00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:56,320 Speaker 6: She was like, what is this? 1073 00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:58,719 Speaker 2: There is no tune. That's what I did last night. 1074 00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,120 Speaker 2: I was like, what is this tune? You're just yelling 1075 00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:05,040 Speaker 2: Year into the microphone. It's very loud. I can't hear 1076 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,080 Speaker 2: anything other than Year, and there's a lot of auto 1077 00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,800 Speaker 2: tuning and clicking. Anyway, you missed nothing. I mean it 1078 00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:14,720 Speaker 2: was it was quite interesting though, But he's rubbish, isn't he. Anyway, 1079 00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:16,520 Speaker 2: I'll give you some reviews later in the program. Man 1080 00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:17,520 Speaker 2: Headline's next. 1081 00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:22,880 Speaker 1: On your smart speaker, on the iHeart app and in 1082 00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,320 Speaker 1: your car on your drive home.

When I say Wayne Brown, obviously Mayor 1089 00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:55,880 Speaker 2: of Auckland. When I say wild idea, I don't mean 1090 00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,799 Speaker 2: wild as in like wild and stupid. And why are 1091 00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,480 Speaker 2: you suggesting that wild as in ooh that's wild? 1092 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:03,239 Speaker 3: That could work. 1093 00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:04,640 Speaker 2: I could be interested in that. So I'm going to 1094 00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:06,200 Speaker 2: get you across that. It's basically got to do with 1095 00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,080 Speaker 2: us flying to Brazil and making a ton of money 1096 00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:10,680 Speaker 2: off it. I'll explain to you when I get a 1097 00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:11,960 Speaker 2: chance in just a minute, and we're going to talk 1098 00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,320 Speaker 2: about it. After six It's twenty four away from sex. 1099 00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:16,239 Speaker 3: Either duel now. 1100 00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:19,040 Speaker 2: Yesterday, Mike King made this comment on our show about 1101 00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:20,680 Speaker 2: alcohol and it's linked to mental health. 1102 00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:25,280 Speaker 4: Alcohol is not a problem for people with mental health issues. 1103 00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:29,360 Speaker 4: It's actually the solution to our problem. It stops those thoughts. 1104 00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:33,520 Speaker 2: Mike is standing by that comment. Today, labor has reacted badly, 1105 00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,640 Speaker 2: calling for the funding for gun Boot Friday to pause. 1106 00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,120 Speaker 2: Professor Joe Boden is from the University of Otago's Department 1107 00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:41,120 Speaker 2: of Psychological Medicine. 1108 00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:43,200 Speaker 3: Hey Joe, Hi, how are you? I'm very well? 1109 00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,960 Speaker 2: Thank you? Now, I mean, obviously that statement is factually incorrect, 1110 00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,279 Speaker 2: right because alcohol is a problem for people with mental 1111 00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:49,160 Speaker 2: health issues, isn't it? 1112 00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:51,040 Speaker 5: It absolutely is. 1113 00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:56,240 Speaker 15: There Really research shows very strong linkages between, for example, 1114 00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:00,640 Speaker 15: alcohol and major depression and alcohol and side risk. 1115 00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,040 Speaker 2: Has He got a point when he says, though, that 1116 00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:07,120 Speaker 2: for some people it provides a form of escape from 1117 00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:08,120 Speaker 2: the thoughts that they're having. 1118 00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:13,279 Speaker 15: I think there's there's some evidence that suggests that one 1119 00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:15,840 Speaker 15: of the things that alcohol helps with is this idea 1120 00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:18,759 Speaker 15: of cognitive narrowing that it is that makes you sort 1121 00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:22,160 Speaker 15: of think about less things. So in a sense it 1122 00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:26,239 Speaker 15: might work temporarily. The difficulty is is that it is 1123 00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:30,920 Speaker 15: actually a depressant. It's a nervous system depressant, and so 1124 00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:35,400 Speaker 15: it is actually likely to cause feelings of depression and 1125 00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:39,080 Speaker 15: then low low mood and those sorts of things. So 1126 00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:42,880 Speaker 15: really any sort of temporary benefit is offset by the 1127 00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:44,480 Speaker 15: adverse effects. 1128 00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,400 Speaker 2: Do you agree with Labor that he should lose his funding? 1129 00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:52,319 Speaker 15: Look, I'm not the person who decides who decides these things, 1130 00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,200 Speaker 15: but it's to me it's a it's not a very 1131 00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:57,560 Speaker 15: good look for the for the spokesperson for this particular 1132 00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:02,560 Speaker 15: for this particular endeavor to be you know, spouting misinformation. 1133 00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:04,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, are you cross about it? 1134 00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:07,800 Speaker 10: No? 1135 00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:09,839 Speaker 15: More trust than I am about a lot of things. 1136 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:14,839 Speaker 2: Because the reason I asked that question is because I mean, look, 1137 00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,800 Speaker 2: this is his opinion, and I get that, you know, 1138 00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,040 Speaker 2: from from my perspective, from your perspective, it is not 1139 00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,800 Speaker 2: factually correct in its totality. But I don't really understand 1140 00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:24,759 Speaker 2: why why everybody's so cross about it. That's why I'm 1141 00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:25,960 Speaker 2: asking you if you'll cross about it. 1142 00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:30,560 Speaker 15: Well, look, we're talking about something that a substance that, 1143 00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:35,399 Speaker 15: when when misused, it can very well increase suicide risks. 1144 00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:39,000 Speaker 15: So really it's it's at cross purposes to what he 1145 00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:42,400 Speaker 15: is endeavoring to be on about it to reduce suicide. 1146 00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:45,040 Speaker 15: That reduces the suicide right, and in fact, one of 1147 00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:48,320 Speaker 15: the things that would really be particularly helpful in reducing 1148 00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:52,480 Speaker 15: the suicide the rate is reducing the overall level of 1149 00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:56,680 Speaker 15: alcohol consumption and the population. So I think that that 1150 00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:00,880 Speaker 15: it is a it's an irresponsible kind of comment in 1151 00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:02,080 Speaker 15: this particular context. 1152 00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:03,640 Speaker 2: Joe, it's good to talk to you. Thanks very much 1153 00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,720 Speaker 2: for your expertise. It's Professor Joe Boden, University of Otarget, 1154 00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,439 Speaker 2: Department of Psychological Medicine. It's coming up twenty away from. 1155 00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:13,720 Speaker 1: Six the Huddle with New Zealand Southby's International Realty, local 1156 00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:15,839 Speaker 1: and global exposure like no other. 1157 00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:17,680 Speaker 2: And on the huddle with me this evening, we've got 1158 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,480 Speaker 2: Clear Delare journalist and Ali Jones have read pr Hello 1159 00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,279 Speaker 2: you too, Hello there, Hi Claire. What do you reckon? 1160 00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:24,359 Speaker 2: Should the funding be pulled? 1161 00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:25,040 Speaker 10: No? 1162 00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:26,560 Speaker 25: I don't think it should be pulled. 1163 00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,440 Speaker 26: I think they should always be measured on results and 1164 00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:32,960 Speaker 26: they should be held accountable, and that includes Mike King. 1165 00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:34,359 Speaker 25: I think he needs to be told. 1166 00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:38,080 Speaker 26: Stan is Lane fronting at is good if alcohol somehow 1167 00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:39,280 Speaker 26: has helped him in the past. 1168 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:42,160 Speaker 25: That's very much at variance. 1169 00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,520 Speaker 2: Trouble, Jobble is this is his lane, isn't it. I 1170 00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:46,080 Speaker 2: mean he's talking about his experience. 1171 00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,640 Speaker 26: He's talking about his personal experience, but it is not 1172 00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:52,520 Speaker 26: the accepted wisdom. Most of the recovering and recovered alcoholics 1173 00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,799 Speaker 26: I know say they have never found an answer at 1174 00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,160 Speaker 26: the bottom of an em wine bottle. 1175 00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,680 Speaker 25: So I do think the clinical evidence is in. It 1176 00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:04,720 Speaker 25: is a depressant. It doesn't help people long. 1177 00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:07,239 Speaker 2: Term low as inhibitions, So you're actually more likely to 1178 00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:08,120 Speaker 2: do the bad thing, aren't you. 1179 00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:11,600 Speaker 26: Absolutely Have any of us ever made really wise decisions 1180 00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:14,600 Speaker 26: at let's say one in the morning with a skinful No. 1181 00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:16,879 Speaker 2: We have not, Or even the next day when you're 1182 00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,520 Speaker 2: feeling mildly depressed and anxious as a result of it, 1183 00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:20,759 Speaker 2: or you have a terrible. 1184 00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:22,600 Speaker 26: Hangover and you make a bad decision the next day, 1185 00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:24,520 Speaker 26: which god include driving while. 1186 00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:26,440 Speaker 25: Still under you know, with the blood alcohol and you're 1187 00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:26,919 Speaker 25: still high. 1188 00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:30,080 Speaker 2: Ally, what do you reckon? Oh, I've got nothing really 1189 00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:30,680 Speaker 2: to add to that. 1190 00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:34,320 Speaker 27: I think you're absolutely right, Claire. I mean my experience 1191 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,800 Speaker 27: is at alcohol and depression doesn't mix. You know, I 1192 00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:41,800 Speaker 27: haven't heard the interview in its entirety, and so I 1193 00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:43,399 Speaker 27: don't want to sort of comment on that. And I'm 1194 00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,480 Speaker 27: certainly not an expert on alcohol. You spoke to Joe 1195 00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:50,359 Speaker 27: just before, Heather, and he's that expert. But I don't 1196 00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:54,440 Speaker 27: know anyone who has had mental health issues for whom 1197 00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:58,200 Speaker 27: alcohol has helped. In fact, as we've heard and as 1198 00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:00,879 Speaker 27: Claire said, it just makes things. Have you heard about, 1199 00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,320 Speaker 27: you know, the depressive blues the day after a binge. 1200 00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:07,480 Speaker 27: They are called that for a reason. So yeah, I 1201 00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:10,400 Speaker 27: look it thought. I don't want to criticize Mike King 1202 00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:12,600 Speaker 27: too much either. I mean, thank God for people like 1203 00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,560 Speaker 27: him to be honest, But still I think it was 1204 00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:17,440 Speaker 27: a bit of a faux pa, and I'm interested that 1205 00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:18,800 Speaker 27: he's sort of doubling down on it. 1206 00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:21,480 Speaker 2: I am you know what. I think it is to 1207 00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,160 Speaker 2: his character to double down on it. Ali, he's the 1208 00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:26,319 Speaker 2: kind of guy who just kind of stands his ground 1209 00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:29,040 Speaker 2: and can be a little belligerent. But what I'm fascinated 1210 00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:31,040 Speaker 2: by is that Labour thinks it's a good idea to 1211 00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:34,520 Speaker 2: pull the funding because of this. Oh that's just politicking, though, Heather, 1212 00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:36,360 Speaker 2: isn't it amazing? That's just nonsense. 1213 00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,760 Speaker 27: I think, you know, any political party that knee jerks 1214 00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:41,680 Speaker 27: with a comment like that needs to kick up the barm. 1215 00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:43,080 Speaker 2: I mean, it really is childish. 1216 00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:44,440 Speaker 27: So I no, it's just politicking. 1217 00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:48,080 Speaker 2: And I just wonder, actually clear if Mike needs to 1218 00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,400 Speaker 2: understand how political he is now because he took on 1219 00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:53,239 Speaker 2: to remember, he took on Justin da Ardoun all the 1220 00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:54,600 Speaker 2: way back and I think it was like twenty eighteen, 1221 00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,960 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, and since then he's become a very very 1222 00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,120 Speaker 2: political figure, and so he needs to keep his nose 1223 00:55:59,200 --> 00:55:59,719 Speaker 2: really clean. 1224 00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:01,600 Speaker 26: That's what I mean by he needs to stay in 1225 00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:04,640 Speaker 26: his lane. He needs to know his brief. He needs 1226 00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:07,480 Speaker 26: to know the messaging which is really appropriate for him 1227 00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:11,920 Speaker 26: being across and that he is actually jeopardizing the reputation 1228 00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:15,000 Speaker 26: of the organization if he goes beyond areas of his 1229 00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:18,400 Speaker 26: expertise or he's I don't know him. He's presumably a 1230 00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:21,400 Speaker 26: good guy and he's got, you know, his heart in 1231 00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:24,080 Speaker 26: the right place and he has had lived experience of 1232 00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:27,800 Speaker 26: all sorts of problems. He's doing good with this foundation, 1233 00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:31,279 Speaker 26: but he doesn't want to jeopardize it, especially as he 1234 00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,880 Speaker 26: had the privilege of getting a sort of fast tracking 1235 00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:34,400 Speaker 26: of funding. 1236 00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:34,839 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1237 00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,400 Speaker 2: Absolutely, Hey, Ali, do you think that a New Zealand 1238 00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:39,480 Speaker 2: needs a market study into its virtual monopoly. 1239 00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:43,560 Speaker 27: I think it can help, but I you know, I 1240 00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:46,000 Speaker 27: think that about the insurance sector as well, as I've 1241 00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,399 Speaker 27: said on your show before. But look, the only thing 1242 00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:51,640 Speaker 27: that I do have mixed feelings on with regards to 1243 00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:54,160 Speaker 27: this is that we're a small country, right, We've got 1244 00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,920 Speaker 27: a small population, and I just I'm wary of this 1245 00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:00,880 Speaker 27: comparison with quantus. You know, as far as increases go 1246 00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:05,000 Speaker 27: around quantity and New Zealand's pricing, that is not comparing 1247 00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:08,520 Speaker 27: apples with apples. I think if demand is high, businesses 1248 00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:11,080 Speaker 27: should be able to apply the old supply and demand 1249 00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:15,000 Speaker 27: theory and you make more money and put the prices 1250 00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:18,280 Speaker 27: up because people will pay it when supply is low. 1251 00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:22,320 Speaker 27: But the issue is the degree of inflating those prices. 1252 00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:26,600 Speaker 27: So if the price is unreasonable, then that needs to stop, 1253 00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:28,840 Speaker 27: because we've all heard the word extortionate, right, and that's 1254 00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:30,040 Speaker 27: when it becomes extortionate. 1255 00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:33,360 Speaker 2: But what is reasonable and what is unreasonable? And I 1256 00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:35,440 Speaker 2: think that's for the com Com to decide. Okay, I'm 1257 00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:36,720 Speaker 2: going to get your take on it clear when we 1258 00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:38,720 Speaker 2: come back from the break right now, sixteen away from 1259 00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:40,560 Speaker 2: six the Huddle. 1260 00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:44,000 Speaker 1: With New Zealand Southeby's International Realty, elevate the marketing of 1261 00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:44,800 Speaker 1: your home. 1262 00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:46,439 Speaker 2: Back with the Huddle clear to law and alle Jones, 1263 00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:47,960 Speaker 2: So cleiar, What do you reckon? Is it worth putting 1264 00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:49,480 Speaker 2: the money into a market study to find out what 1265 00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:50,840 Speaker 2: are in New Zealand's doing well? 1266 00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:54,880 Speaker 26: Probably not, because as far as one can tell from outside, 1267 00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,440 Speaker 26: they're not doing anything illegal. They may well be doing 1268 00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:02,480 Speaker 26: things that most people find unaffordable and their powers. The 1269 00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:05,840 Speaker 26: ComCom is where people are breaching regulations or the law 1270 00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:08,439 Speaker 26: or whatever and calling them to account, you know, maybe 1271 00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:10,680 Speaker 26: the naming and shaming side of that, but you know 1272 00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:14,760 Speaker 26: that doesn't seem to when people complain anyway about the prices, 1273 00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:17,320 Speaker 26: it doesn't necessarily move the dial. Then there'll be a 1274 00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,200 Speaker 26: flash sale for example, and if you open your email, 1275 00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:22,520 Speaker 26: like you know, a day late, your miss out, so 1276 00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:24,680 Speaker 26: you'll be really hacked off with them on top of 1277 00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:28,120 Speaker 26: everything else. So sometimes I think they're marketing maybe needs 1278 00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,680 Speaker 26: to be a little bit more, you know, a little 1279 00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:35,560 Speaker 26: bit more attuned to people's habits. No, I don't think 1280 00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:39,480 Speaker 26: it would make a difference. I mean, our supermarket's marketly cheaper. 1281 00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:42,640 Speaker 2: Because of the market study name market study clear that 1282 00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,680 Speaker 2: has actually resulted in a lower price for you. 1283 00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:48,320 Speaker 26: Well, I can't, and I don't think it's changed the 1284 00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:49,240 Speaker 26: bank's behaviors. 1285 00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:51,440 Speaker 25: And you know we do want profitable banks. It's with 1286 00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:52,320 Speaker 25: markets and the like. 1287 00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:54,840 Speaker 26: All the studies in the world haven't made much of 1288 00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:57,720 Speaker 26: a difference to where you feel you have by way 1289 00:58:57,760 --> 00:58:59,240 Speaker 26: of power as a consumer. 1290 00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:01,760 Speaker 27: But I think that's more clear to do perhaps with 1291 00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:05,560 Speaker 27: the terms of reference and what the study was essentially 1292 00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:11,280 Speaker 27: supposed to result in, because certainly the studies of the 1293 00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:14,320 Speaker 27: price of fuel when Megan Woods was in though, there 1294 00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:17,200 Speaker 27: was absolutely nothing in those that gave anyone any power 1295 00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:20,080 Speaker 27: to actually do anything. And I see that Anthony Albanezi 1296 00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:24,320 Speaker 27: is actually outlawing this demand pricing, this dynamic pricing model 1297 00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:27,960 Speaker 27: that Air New Zealand uses is being outlawed in Australia. Now, 1298 00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:31,400 Speaker 27: you know, the government can actually do something to regulate 1299 00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:33,440 Speaker 27: the sector, but I think they have to have the 1300 00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:35,360 Speaker 27: information in order to be able to do that. So 1301 00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:39,160 Speaker 27: I don't see, you know, a market review as being 1302 00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:40,840 Speaker 27: a total waste of time, but I think the terms 1303 00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:42,400 Speaker 27: of reference have got to be right, yes. 1304 00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:43,360 Speaker 2: When it results in action. 1305 00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:45,200 Speaker 26: Sorry, Claire, I was going to say, this government has 1306 00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:48,280 Speaker 26: actually set up a whole new department to deregulate and 1307 00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:51,840 Speaker 26: unregulate us. So yeah, I can't see them climbing into 1308 00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,720 Speaker 26: regulation without really strong cause. 1309 00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Hey, do you know what, Ali, people have 1310 00:59:57,160 --> 01:00:00,720 Speaker 2: got themselves quite worked up today about the the fighting 1311 01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:03,600 Speaker 2: and scuffling that was breaking out at the Travis Scott concert. 1312 01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:04,640 Speaker 2: Did you see any of that video? 1313 01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:05,640 Speaker 10: No? 1314 01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:06,240 Speaker 6: I didn't. 1315 01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:09,040 Speaker 27: And if someone had said Travis Scott to me yesterday, oh, 1316 01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:12,880 Speaker 27: I would have said, oh, I am such I really 1317 01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,280 Speaker 27: am not great with some of some of the people 1318 01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:18,440 Speaker 27: around the music these days. However, I read too that 1319 01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:21,920 Speaker 27: there were no complaints from residents. Apparently there were no arrests. 1320 01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:27,640 Speaker 2: Apparently, so Helen must have absolutely been self disciplined last night, 1321 01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:30,240 Speaker 2: because that would have absolutely ripped a nickers. It was 1322 01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:31,600 Speaker 2: so loud. I think there were. 1323 01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:36,160 Speaker 25: Twenty eight complaints, well on your very own network or somewhere. 1324 01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:40,280 Speaker 2: I don't know all the journalists. Well, I stand corrected. Then, well, 1325 01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:41,600 Speaker 2: there were some. 1326 01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:45,080 Speaker 25: Allie, and I cannot tell you the source for which I. 1327 01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:49,280 Speaker 2: Just wonder how loud you'd have to make the concert 1328 01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:51,840 Speaker 2: program to drown out Travis Scott. Right next door. 1329 01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:52,440 Speaker 10: You know what I mean? 1330 01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:54,760 Speaker 2: Did you enjoy it, Heather, No, not in the slightest 1331 01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,280 Speaker 2: I mean no, Actually, that's not that's not that's not fair. 1332 01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:02,680 Speaker 2: I enjoyed realizing my a while standing there and watching 1333 01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:05,360 Speaker 2: and going, I can't understand why this is music and 1334 01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:07,000 Speaker 2: this is this is bizarre. 1335 01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:08,280 Speaker 25: Well, it also seemed to me. 1336 01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:11,840 Speaker 26: I mean I saw some children today aged twelve and 1337 01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:14,080 Speaker 26: thirteen who went with their mum, who's about forty one, 1338 01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,360 Speaker 26: and they all seem to have a good time. However, 1339 01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:19,920 Speaker 26: fifteen to twenty minutes for DJ and one hour of 1340 01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:22,040 Speaker 26: a guy on stage. Now, does you compare that to 1341 01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:25,320 Speaker 26: Bruce Springsteen Paul McCartney when they came, who had no 1342 01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:28,480 Speaker 26: backup when bang song, song song, you know, they just 1343 01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:30,040 Speaker 26: rolled in for three hours. 1344 01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:33,320 Speaker 2: Yes, it's I think it was. Well, I mean what 1345 01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:37,600 Speaker 2: I'm going to say this, Claire, Musicians these days are lazy, 1346 01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:41,240 Speaker 2: aren't they? Not like they were an ourday, Not like 1347 01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,760 Speaker 2: they were in our day. They come, they do a 1348 01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:46,800 Speaker 2: three hour set with guitars and drums and actual music, 1349 01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:49,280 Speaker 2: and this guy makes people wait for four hours, and 1350 01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:50,560 Speaker 2: he dances by. 1351 01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:53,120 Speaker 26: And change the date and inconvenienced a lot of his fans, 1352 01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:55,880 Speaker 26: you think you would really double down on putting on 1353 01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:58,760 Speaker 26: a top show. So you know, I mean nothing much 1354 01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:01,240 Speaker 26: excuses if people were having genuine punch ups, but if 1355 01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:03,520 Speaker 26: they were sort of bored and kind of prepare enough. 1356 01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:06,320 Speaker 2: Yeah you do you Ellie, have you listened to any 1357 01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:06,920 Speaker 2: Travis Scott? 1358 01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:08,800 Speaker 6: Oh? 1359 01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:11,560 Speaker 2: No, I haven't. Clear, I feel it. 1360 01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:13,320 Speaker 26: Look I did today with the kids in the car. 1361 01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:15,520 Speaker 26: I said, I said, can you please pay me a 1362 01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:17,560 Speaker 26: video of the concert? And then we put it on 1363 01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:20,160 Speaker 26: the Apple a play and I thoughts and I, well, 1364 01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:21,160 Speaker 26: not my thing. 1365 01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:22,560 Speaker 2: But kids loved it. 1366 01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:23,040 Speaker 6: Yeah? 1367 01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:23,360 Speaker 9: Did they? 1368 01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:26,040 Speaker 2: Could they see a tune in that music? Did they? 1369 01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:26,960 Speaker 25: They seem too? 1370 01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:29,640 Speaker 2: And they yeah, all right, didn't you Jack? 1371 01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:30,439 Speaker 3: Yes? 1372 01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:32,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, Jack did. At least one of us listened to 1373 01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:35,160 Speaker 2: the Travis Scott music before I'm talking about it, and 1374 01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:36,920 Speaker 2: I didn't. Guys, it was lovely to talk to the 1375 01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:38,080 Speaker 2: pair of you. Thank you for coming in and really 1376 01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:40,479 Speaker 2: appreciates Clear to little journalists and Allie Jones read PR 1377 01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:42,400 Speaker 2: nine Away from six on. 1378 01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:45,120 Speaker 1: Your smart speaker, on the iHeart app and in your 1379 01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:48,480 Speaker 1: car on your drive home. Heather Duples see Alan drive 1380 01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:52,680 Speaker 1: with one New zealand one Giant Leap for business news 1381 01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:53,560 Speaker 1: talk as it be. 1382 01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:56,480 Speaker 2: Hither there's no need for a market study into in 1383 01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:58,040 Speaker 2: New Zealand. I can tell you right now what the 1384 01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:00,400 Speaker 2: issue is. New Zealanders have done it to themselves. Jetstar 1385 01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:02,480 Speaker 2: came to New Zealand on the regional routs. Kiwis were 1386 01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:05,120 Speaker 2: all really happy because the in New Zealand match Jetstar's prices, 1387 01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,960 Speaker 2: which was finally healthy competition. But instead of supporting Jetstar, 1388 01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:10,760 Speaker 2: ki we still flew in in New Zealand because the 1389 01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:12,920 Speaker 2: prices were lower than they usually were and because everyone 1390 01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:15,160 Speaker 2: still loves Corry Club and as a result of that, 1391 01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:17,640 Speaker 2: Jetstar basically pulled out of it. As a fair point, 1392 01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:19,600 Speaker 2: I think six away from six. So this is the 1393 01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:22,280 Speaker 2: wild idea of the day from Wayne Brown. He wants 1394 01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:25,720 Speaker 2: to see direct flights from Auckland to sal Polo in Brazil. 1395 01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:29,080 Speaker 2: Not because he thinks that all of a sudden, our 1396 01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,440 Speaker 2: tourism in Brazil is going to pick up, all Brazilian 1397 01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:33,440 Speaker 2: tourism in New Zealand's going to go game busters or 1398 01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:35,680 Speaker 2: anything like that, but simply because he sees an opportunity 1399 01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:38,520 Speaker 2: to tap into the trade between China and Brazil that's 1400 01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:41,040 Speaker 2: already happening right So these guys are already trading with 1401 01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:42,760 Speaker 2: each other, but they go via the US, which is 1402 01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:45,960 Speaker 2: the longest way, and actually the shortest way is apparently 1403 01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:48,240 Speaker 2: through Auckland. If you look at a map, it doesn't 1404 01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:50,000 Speaker 2: look like it. He says. This is because of the 1405 01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:53,560 Speaker 2: Makata projection of the world, which is like an optical illusion. 1406 01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,240 Speaker 2: But actually we are the shorter route. If you fly 1407 01:03:56,720 --> 01:04:00,760 Speaker 2: China to Brazil via Auckland and he reckoned, the China 1408 01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:04,720 Speaker 2: Brazil trade is about five hundred billion dollars. And if 1409 01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:07,800 Speaker 2: they flew via Auckland and we even got one percent 1410 01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:11,640 Speaker 2: of that trade, it would double the size of Auckland's GDP. 1411 01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:15,640 Speaker 2: Now that is such a wildly simple way of making 1412 01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:19,240 Speaker 2: money that it's either absolutely absurd, and why on earth 1413 01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:22,880 Speaker 2: is he wasting our time? Or maybe he's onto something. 1414 01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:26,480 Speaker 2: Guess what, Nzer thinks he's onto something. So they're going 1415 01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:28,240 Speaker 2: to talk to us about it after six when they're 1416 01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:31,480 Speaker 2: with us. I love it. How makes it easy money? 1417 01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:35,200 Speaker 2: Why not? Now? The question, okay, so this business just 1418 01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:36,840 Speaker 2: to the US quickly, because of course we're only a 1419 01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:40,320 Speaker 2: few days away from the US election happening. Question has 1420 01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:43,160 Speaker 2: been whether Donald Trump is being hurt by the garbage. 1421 01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:49,400 Speaker 2: Comments read Porto Rico Today would suggest no, this campaign 1422 01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:51,040 Speaker 2: is not being hurt by that. And how do we 1423 01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:52,960 Speaker 2: know that, Well, that's because Donald Trump is having a 1424 01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:54,360 Speaker 2: hell of a lot of fun with it. He turned 1425 01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:57,439 Speaker 2: up in the swing state of Wisconsin in a garbage truck. 1426 01:04:57,840 --> 01:04:59,880 Speaker 2: Now I don't know where he got the garbage truck from, 1427 01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:03,120 Speaker 2: but somebody made the garbage truck into a Trump garbage 1428 01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:06,280 Speaker 2: truck very quickly. It's a full sized garbage truck painted white, 1429 01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:08,320 Speaker 2: which I don't know that a lot of garbage trucks are, 1430 01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:11,640 Speaker 2: and it's got a gigantic bit of Trump branding on 1431 01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:15,200 Speaker 2: both sides. He's turned up driving the thing while in 1432 01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:18,160 Speaker 2: the cab, he has leaned out the window and given 1433 01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:21,480 Speaker 2: media interviews and he is just having a great idea, 1434 01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:23,280 Speaker 2: a great time. But it's got no idea. What the 1435 01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:24,480 Speaker 2: fuss about Puerto Rico is? 1436 01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:27,560 Speaker 3: I love Puerto Rico and Puerto Rico loves me. 1437 01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:28,080 Speaker 10: I don't know. 1438 01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:31,000 Speaker 28: I don't know anything about a comedian. I just I 1439 01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:34,520 Speaker 28: love Puerto Rico. Nobody's done more for Puerto Rico than. 1440 01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:38,919 Speaker 2: Me, No, nobody, nobody. So unusual for Trump to brag 1441 01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:42,120 Speaker 2: like that, but nobody has done more for Puerto Rico. 1442 01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:44,600 Speaker 12: I don't know about a comedian. This is the story 1443 01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:46,920 Speaker 12: from the US selection that is being talked about so 1444 01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:49,240 Speaker 12: much that we are talking about it in New Zealand, 1445 01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:51,280 Speaker 12: and he, in the middle of the election campaign, has 1446 01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:52,240 Speaker 12: not heard the story. 1447 01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:55,640 Speaker 2: This is the comedian who they pre vetted, who they 1448 01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:59,160 Speaker 2: read the jokes of before it went on the auto cube. 1449 01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:02,040 Speaker 2: But he's got no idea. Yeah that's interesting. Yeah, no, 1450 01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:04,520 Speaker 2: it's no idea. What's happened. We all know what happened 1451 01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:06,360 Speaker 2: at his thing, but he doesn't know what happened at 1452 01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:08,960 Speaker 2: his thing. And just FYI thoughts on Elon. 1453 01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:13,440 Speaker 28: Elon is a great guy. He's one of our geniuses, 1454 01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:15,640 Speaker 28: and we have to protect our geniuses. We have to 1455 01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:17,400 Speaker 28: take care of our geniuses. 1456 01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:21,080 Speaker 2: All of which is happening from the inside of the 1457 01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:24,840 Speaker 2: garbage truck. So I'm just getting the feeling that Biden 1458 01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:27,320 Speaker 2: has just given Trump the greatest gift there has an 1459 01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:29,280 Speaker 2: e He's just turned what was turning into a bit 1460 01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:32,440 Speaker 2: of a problem for by for Trumpy into well not 1461 01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:34,560 Speaker 2: a problem for Trumpy at all. And now he's hanging 1462 01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:36,520 Speaker 2: out the side of a garbage truck. Hey, listen, I've 1463 01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:38,120 Speaker 2: got to talk to you.

It's caused all kinds of repercussions. 1473 01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:15,520 Speaker 2: I'm going to get you across the details shortly. Liam 1474 01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:18,240 Speaker 2: dan on what the US selection could mean for our economy, 1475 01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,080 Speaker 2: and Jamie mccinlillb be of US as well. At seven 1476 01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:23,000 Speaker 2: past six. Now Aukland, there Wayne Brown is poshing for 1477 01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:26,720 Speaker 2: direct flights from Auckland to sal Polo and Brazil. He 1478 01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:29,080 Speaker 2: reckons if we do this, it means we could tap 1479 01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:31,240 Speaker 2: into trade between China and Brazil, which is worth nearly 1480 01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:34,360 Speaker 2: five hundred billion dollars a year. Chris Nixon is ends 1481 01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:35,920 Speaker 2: in Ie as principal economist. 1482 01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:38,240 Speaker 6: He Chris good afternoon. 1483 01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:39,360 Speaker 2: Crazy idea or not. 1484 01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:42,240 Speaker 6: Oh, I don't think it's a crazy idea. I think 1485 01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:45,440 Speaker 6: it's quite a good idea. I mean, given the mayhem 1486 01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:47,680 Speaker 6: which is happening in the United States at the moment 1487 01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:52,440 Speaker 6: and their incoherent economic policies, we've got to be innovatives 1488 01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:56,000 Speaker 6: and we've we've got to take the lead on these projects. 1489 01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:59,280 Speaker 2: Okay, So if the trade between China and Brazil is 1490 01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:02,280 Speaker 2: worth that much, and he reckons we tap into one 1491 01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:04,960 Speaker 2: percent of it, we could double the GDP of Auckland. 1492 01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:07,760 Speaker 2: But how would a flight tap into one percent of it? 1493 01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:13,200 Speaker 6: Well, I think firstly, it's not just about China, it's 1494 01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:17,519 Speaker 6: about ACIM, it's about East Asia, and it's about China, 1495 01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:21,799 Speaker 6: and so I think that's the first thing. The second 1496 01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:26,919 Speaker 6: thing is that goods, like e commerce goods are starting 1497 01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:34,799 Speaker 6: to really go ballistic in places like Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, 1498 01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:40,839 Speaker 6: and so therefore there is an opportunity here to connect 1499 01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:47,759 Speaker 6: the Asian and East Asia and China with South America 1500 01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:51,479 Speaker 6: through New Zealand. And I think that's the key issue. 1501 01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:53,920 Speaker 2: But how are we making the money? Are we making 1502 01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:55,960 Speaker 2: money off of people jumping off the plane for a 1503 01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:57,160 Speaker 2: bit of a stop in Auckland or what. 1504 01:08:58,160 --> 01:09:01,200 Speaker 6: Well, one of the things is that IATA has done 1505 01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:05,720 Speaker 6: some work around this and they would argue that a 1506 01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:12,519 Speaker 6: one percent increase in connectivity will increase trade by six 1507 01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:18,800 Speaker 6: point three percent. So it's the point that we need 1508 01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:23,680 Speaker 6: the connectivity to drive trade. And now you know, the 1509 01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:27,959 Speaker 6: trade could be an e commerce, it could be in tourism, 1510 01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:31,640 Speaker 6: it could be an education, export exports. 1511 01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:33,360 Speaker 3: We don't really know. 1512 01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:38,080 Speaker 6: But the point is if you have the connectivity, then 1513 01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:42,000 Speaker 6: you see the opportunities. So that's why I like Wayne 1514 01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:45,280 Speaker 6: Brown's enthusiasm. He's come to a bit late, but you 1515 01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:46,479 Speaker 6: know it's good that he's here. 1516 01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:48,120 Speaker 2: Why do you say he's come to it a bit late. 1517 01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:51,840 Speaker 6: Well, I wrote this report in twenty and twenty one, 1518 01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:57,000 Speaker 6: so that's that's three years, three years ago. But the 1519 01:09:57,120 --> 01:10:01,000 Speaker 6: point is he's here and he's in making these noises, 1520 01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:03,559 Speaker 6: and I think they are the right noises to make. 1521 01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:06,680 Speaker 2: So the thing is, though, I think we've only got 1522 01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:08,799 Speaker 2: one flight between Auckland and South America. 1523 01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:10,760 Speaker 3: That's the problem, is it Chile? 1524 01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:13,680 Speaker 6: Is that where it goes it's yes, it's Latin, and 1525 01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:16,800 Speaker 6: it goes from San Diego to Auckland and then on 1526 01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:17,519 Speaker 6: to Melbourne. 1527 01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:20,360 Speaker 2: And then also we had the Buenos AIDA's flight, which 1528 01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:22,400 Speaker 2: in New Zealand was doing in absence candidates. So that 1529 01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:24,200 Speaker 2: suggests it just doesn't work for the airlines. 1530 01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:30,200 Speaker 6: Well, I think that's possibly right. But I think there's 1531 01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:35,800 Speaker 6: an opportunity here. And the opportunity that presents itself is 1532 01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:40,320 Speaker 6: around e commerce, it is around tourism. We've got to 1533 01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:43,280 Speaker 6: sort of our setting our regulatory settings out around those things, 1534 01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:48,160 Speaker 6: by the way, but if those things happen and we 1535 01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:53,560 Speaker 6: design rules that around the way businesses operate, not the 1536 01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:56,760 Speaker 6: way we think they operate, then I think we've got 1537 01:10:56,800 --> 01:10:57,479 Speaker 6: a chance here. 1538 01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:00,400 Speaker 2: Chris, interesting stuff, Thanks very much for talking through. That's 1539 01:11:00,439 --> 01:11:03,200 Speaker 2: Chris Nixon, principal economist. It ends in Ia, So there 1540 01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:05,719 Speaker 2: you go. Wild idea turns out to be like maybe 1541 01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:08,400 Speaker 2: a wildly good idea. Hither, I watch a number of 1542 01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:13,360 Speaker 2: most popular YouTube channel sailing channels. They all endorse AG one. 1543 01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:16,280 Speaker 2: Other popular channels do as well. Brendan says, Hither, I 1544 01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:19,040 Speaker 2: can't buy ag one in New Zealand. I'm unhappy about that. 1545 01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:23,680 Speaker 2: That's from Paul. So ag one is this is a 1546 01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:26,879 Speaker 2: supplement drink. It's like a green it's a green supplement, 1547 01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:29,439 Speaker 2: a powdery thing by the sounds of things, and it's 1548 01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:32,679 Speaker 2: it's been created by a company which has been led 1549 01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:35,280 Speaker 2: by a Kiwi and I think, if I remember correctly, 1550 01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:37,920 Speaker 2: has been marketed as being made in New Zealand. May 1551 01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:40,799 Speaker 2: not quite be the case. Anyway, This thing has turned 1552 01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:45,000 Speaker 2: into a one point two billion dollar company US because 1553 01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:48,960 Speaker 2: it has been championed by some berg influences, so Joe Rogan, 1554 01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:53,640 Speaker 2: doctor Andrew Huberman, Gwyneth Paltrow, even David Farrier here in 1555 01:11:53,720 --> 01:11:56,639 Speaker 2: New Zealand. Not marketed here in New Zealand at all, 1556 01:11:57,280 --> 01:11:59,559 Speaker 2: but over in the States has really taken off anyway. 1557 01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,840 Speaker 2: The Newsroom had a look at it, thought something's going 1558 01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:05,560 Speaker 2: on here, so they investigated. They've done a podcast and 1559 01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:08,400 Speaker 2: found there is no scientific evidence to back up the 1560 01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:11,960 Speaker 2: claims that are made by ag one anyway, but a 1561 01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:13,920 Speaker 2: bunch of other things as well. You will you'll want 1562 01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:17,479 Speaker 2: to hear. The guy who has created it has now 1563 01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:20,720 Speaker 2: resigned the company after this investigation. And it wasn't a 1564 01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:22,800 Speaker 2: flash in the pan investigation. It's an investigation that took 1565 01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:25,880 Speaker 2: them about a year to do. John o'milne, who is 1566 01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:29,040 Speaker 2: with Newsroom and is behind this podcast, is going to 1567 01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:30,840 Speaker 2: be with us just after hulf pus six and tell 1568 01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:33,600 Speaker 2: us all the details because it sounds quite scandalous, doesn't it. 1569 01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:34,559 Speaker 2: Thirteen past six. 1570 01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:39,200 Speaker 1: Crunching the numbers and getting the results.

The award was handed out 1582 01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:15,920 Speaker 2: in May by independent benchmarking organization UMLAUT, which tests and 1583 01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:18,840 Speaker 2: compares more than two hundred mobile networks worldwide and off 1584 01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:22,400 Speaker 2: the three major key we telcos. One New Zealand's mobile 1585 01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:24,560 Speaker 2: network performed the best.

And it's also really good news for people 1590 01:13:34,479 --> 01:13:36,120 Speaker 2: like you and me because we rely really heavily on 1591 01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:38,240 Speaker 2: our phones for both work and personal news, don't we, 1592 01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:40,839 Speaker 2: And we need a mobile network that keeps us connected. 1593 01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:43,040 Speaker 2: So if you'd like to learn more about joining New 1594 01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:46,400 Speaker 2: Zealand's most reliable mobile network, jump online and visit one 1595 01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:52,120 Speaker 2: dot nz. Ever Duzl Heather Kara and Nate Traveler YouTube's 1596 01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:54,640 Speaker 2: endorse ag one also thank you. Yeah, we're going to 1597 01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:56,280 Speaker 2: talk to John about that after help us six. Now 1598 01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:59,040 Speaker 2: it's seventeen pass six, just six more sleeps to go 1599 01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:01,880 Speaker 2: until voters and the US decide who's going to be 1600 01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:03,920 Speaker 2: the next president. We're going to be watching it like 1601 01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:05,680 Speaker 2: hawks as well, because of course it might affect the 1602 01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:08,559 Speaker 2: New Zealand businesses. Liam dan is The Herald's Business editor 1603 01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:11,160 Speaker 2: at large. He Liam, Hey, Heather, Okay, who do you 1604 01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:12,679 Speaker 2: reckon would be better for our economy? 1605 01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:13,840 Speaker 9: Oh? 1606 01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:16,200 Speaker 29: Well, I guess you know. It's a weird one because 1607 01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:20,559 Speaker 29: we don't really know a lot, partly because I think 1608 01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:24,479 Speaker 29: Kamala Harris has been a bit vague on policy, We 1609 01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:27,040 Speaker 29: don't know exactly what's coming there. And then of course, 1610 01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:30,320 Speaker 29: good old Donald Trump, he is so incredibly specific about 1611 01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:32,920 Speaker 29: all the things he's going to do, and then it's 1612 01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:36,639 Speaker 29: very hard to know, you know, exactly whether he will 1613 01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:39,519 Speaker 29: do them because what he sees is sometimes a bit different. 1614 01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:43,040 Speaker 29: The trade stuff I think makes life a little bit 1615 01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:46,439 Speaker 29: difficult for New Zealand. So that's that's the big policy 1616 01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:50,880 Speaker 29: from Donald Trump is putting ten percent tariffs on everything 1617 01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:54,200 Speaker 29: that goes into the United States, and then sixty percent 1618 01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:57,360 Speaker 29: tariffs on Chinese goods, which could also have some weird 1619 01:14:57,640 --> 01:14:59,640 Speaker 29: you know, if you think about it, what's that going 1620 01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:02,800 Speaker 29: to mean for all the Chinese goods around the world. 1621 01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:04,720 Speaker 29: It may actually mean some cheap stuff coming our way, 1622 01:15:04,720 --> 01:15:07,559 Speaker 29: which we don't probably need more of, but maybe electric 1623 01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:11,120 Speaker 29: cars all that kind of stuff. You know, it's kind 1624 01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:13,080 Speaker 29: of it's kind of uncharted territory. 1625 01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:14,040 Speaker 10: It's a big experiment. 1626 01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:17,200 Speaker 29: So even there, we don't know for sure. I know 1627 01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:20,160 Speaker 29: that you know that the big mainstream economists at the 1628 01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:23,280 Speaker 29: IMF and the World Bank are a bit nervous about 1629 01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:26,760 Speaker 29: the prospect of Trump winning, which you know, looks like 1630 01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:28,120 Speaker 29: a pretty good chance. 1631 01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:29,320 Speaker 6: I guess you'd have to say. 1632 01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:33,360 Speaker 29: Just because of the unseund it could be good for 1633 01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:35,240 Speaker 29: sheer markets, could be good for our Kiwi save but 1634 01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:36,080 Speaker 29: they still expect a. 1635 01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:36,920 Speaker 6: Bit of a Trump. 1636 01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:38,840 Speaker 2: It was great last time, wasn't it. 1637 01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:40,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1638 01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:43,120 Speaker 29: I mean they're not quite sure what it would be 1639 01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:46,679 Speaker 29: predicated on so much this time, because he's talked about 1640 01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:50,439 Speaker 29: big tax cuts again, but there is a possibility that 1641 01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:52,720 Speaker 29: he just can't do them, partly for congre because he 1642 01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:56,160 Speaker 29: might have Congress, but also because the deficit is so 1643 01:15:56,360 --> 01:15:58,400 Speaker 29: huge in the United States, you get in that same 1644 01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:01,720 Speaker 29: situation that Terresa May had in the in the UK, 1645 01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:05,799 Speaker 29: which is that you're up against bond markets which absolutely 1646 01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:08,920 Speaker 29: punish your economy if you start trying to do things 1647 01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:10,960 Speaker 29: like cut taxes while you have a giant deficit. And 1648 01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:14,280 Speaker 29: as you know, I think it was James Cavell Cavill, 1649 01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:18,000 Speaker 29: Bill Clinton's advisor, once said, you know, the only thing 1650 01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:19,880 Speaker 29: he'd ever want to come back as to be the 1651 01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:22,120 Speaker 29: bond market because everybody is scared of it, and you 1652 01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:23,639 Speaker 29: know that that could. 1653 01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:26,479 Speaker 10: Just stymy those plans. So it's a bit of skeptics 1654 01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:27,400 Speaker 10: tax cuts. 1655 01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:27,639 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1656 01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:30,840 Speaker 2: On the other hand, Liam, I mean it kind of counterintuitively, 1657 01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:33,760 Speaker 2: Donald Trump actually is pretty good for world peace, right, 1658 01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:37,160 Speaker 2: So isn't that actually weirdly good for us because if 1659 01:16:37,200 --> 01:16:40,040 Speaker 2: you set settle down all those tensions, we benefit. 1660 01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:43,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it weirdly could be. 1661 01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:45,960 Speaker 29: Which if you think about our worst case scenario in 1662 01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:50,400 Speaker 29: New Zealand, it's probably some sort of military action around Taiwan, right, 1663 01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:51,760 Speaker 29: because we have to pick a side. 1664 01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:56,040 Speaker 3: And if it's more. 1665 01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:59,400 Speaker 29: Likely in that sort of scenario, which hopefully doesn't come 1666 01:16:59,439 --> 01:17:02,400 Speaker 29: to that, that you'd have Donald Trump sitting down with 1667 01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:04,840 Speaker 29: Jjun Ping or maybe deciding not to get involved or 1668 01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:08,240 Speaker 29: something which should which potentially could make life easier for 1669 01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:08,759 Speaker 29: New Zealand. 1670 01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:11,280 Speaker 22: But you know that's I guess. 1671 01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:13,639 Speaker 10: You know, big geopolitical stuff. 1672 01:17:13,640 --> 01:17:14,000 Speaker 17: It's hard. 1673 01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:16,320 Speaker 10: It's hard to know. I guess that's what gets me. 1674 01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:21,720 Speaker 29: It's all very very uncertain, including obviously the result, which 1675 01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:22,880 Speaker 29: you know that we've got to. 1676 01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:24,800 Speaker 10: We're so close now that it's very. 1677 01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:26,960 Speaker 29: Hard for the polls to really tell us what's going 1678 01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:29,759 Speaker 29: to happen in six counties and three different states. 1679 01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:33,960 Speaker 30: You know, it's crazy how tired it gets in America totally. 1680 01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:35,920 Speaker 2: Liam, thanks very much for talking us through and appreciate 1681 01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:38,280 Speaker 2: it is Liam Dan The Herald's Business editor at large. 1682 01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:40,360 Speaker 2: I feel like I should explain myself when I say 1683 01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:42,640 Speaker 2: Donald Trump is good for world peace. Donald Trump is 1684 01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:46,519 Speaker 2: good for world peace because he's so unpredictable that world leaders. 1685 01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:48,679 Speaker 2: But if you judge him in the last the last 1686 01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:51,280 Speaker 2: time he was in power for four years, basically Putin 1687 01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:53,160 Speaker 2: pulled his head in, right. Potin was doing all guys 1688 01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:56,160 Speaker 2: of crazy stuff beforehand, when Obama was there, then Trump 1689 01:17:56,240 --> 01:17:58,960 Speaker 2: was there, Putin pulled his head in. Then Biden came in. 1690 01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:01,759 Speaker 2: Potin God has all out again. But because the trouble 1691 01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:05,880 Speaker 2: is with Trumpy, you don't know what he's going to do. 1692 01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:08,320 Speaker 2: The others are much more predictable because they're kind of 1693 01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:11,320 Speaker 2: known quantity, aren't they. Where a Trumpy is so crazy 1694 01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:13,360 Speaker 2: you don't know what he's going to do. And so 1695 01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:17,519 Speaker 2: as a result, you would imagine that maybe Putin settles 1696 01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:21,519 Speaker 2: on the Ukraine situation. Best case scenario, I suppose Xi 1697 01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:23,960 Speaker 2: Jinping does nothing because he doesn't know what Trump's going 1698 01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:26,000 Speaker 2: to do, and so everything just kind of it's not 1699 01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:28,200 Speaker 2: a you know, it doesn't solve the problem. It just 1700 01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:31,519 Speaker 2: kind of delays the problem. But for the period, solves 1701 01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:34,559 Speaker 2: the problem just briefly by delaying it. Doesn't it anyway? 1702 01:18:34,920 --> 01:18:36,719 Speaker 2: Talk to Jamie McKay next six to twenty one. 1703 01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:41,600 Speaker 3: The Rural Report on hither do for Sea Allen. 1704 01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:45,840 Speaker 2: Drive Jamie McKay host to the Countries with Us right now, Hey, Jamie, 1705 01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:49,080 Speaker 2: can I hear that red meat prices they finally recovering? 1706 01:18:49,120 --> 01:18:49,360 Speaker 10: Are they? 1707 01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:52,439 Speaker 31: Well, they're coming off the bottom of the cycle, according 1708 01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:56,920 Speaker 31: to Silver Fern Farms chief executive Dan Bolton. Interestingly, when 1709 01:18:56,960 --> 01:19:00,600 Speaker 31: we crunch the August numbers from the Meat Industry Association, 1710 01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:05,439 Speaker 31: their exports to China, as Trumpey would say, we're down 1711 01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:08,280 Speaker 31: fifty percent to one hundred and seven million. But here's 1712 01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:11,840 Speaker 31: the good news. Maybe short term. The United States was 1713 01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:15,160 Speaker 31: again the largest market for New Zealand red meat in 1714 01:19:15,360 --> 01:19:18,759 Speaker 31: August seven percent year on year increased to one hundred 1715 01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:21,960 Speaker 31: and ninety eight million. What happens next week or after 1716 01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:24,479 Speaker 31: next week, we don't know. So the poor old sheep 1717 01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:27,519 Speaker 31: farmers either they've had a hell of a time. They're 1718 01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:29,880 Speaker 31: not getting much or they weren't getting much for their lamb, 1719 01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:32,680 Speaker 31: getting next to nothing for their wall. But lamb is 1720 01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:35,439 Speaker 31: up about a dollar a kilo from this time twelve 1721 01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:38,799 Speaker 31: months ago. We're starting to see some green shoots. 1722 01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:39,960 Speaker 22: I know you hate that word. 1723 01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:44,599 Speaker 31: In China due to the stimulus packages from the Chinese 1724 01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:48,400 Speaker 31: government and silver firm Farms who's half owned by the Chinese, 1725 01:19:48,520 --> 01:19:52,519 Speaker 31: is quite optimistic ahead of the new year, so Bolton 1726 01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:56,640 Speaker 31: Dan Bolton went on to say, look, China's back in 1727 01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:59,680 Speaker 31: the market. They're being competitive. But here's the interesting thing. 1728 01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:03,280 Speaker 31: The Middle East growth for our red meat was just 1729 01:20:03,520 --> 01:20:07,800 Speaker 31: eye watering, and the United States was absolutely firing on 1730 01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:11,679 Speaker 31: all cylinders, pushing up farm gate price for ball beef. 1731 01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:15,560 Speaker 31: So we literally cannot supply them enough beef at the 1732 01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:17,920 Speaker 31: moment due to the drought they're having over there. So 1733 01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:20,240 Speaker 31: better times ahead for the red meat industry. 1734 01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:23,639 Speaker 2: What about strong Wooll, Well, it's. 1735 01:20:23,560 --> 01:20:27,360 Speaker 31: Funny you ask that, Heather it it's been a dog 1736 01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:30,320 Speaker 31: for a number of years. But maybe there's some light 1737 01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:32,839 Speaker 31: at the end of the tunnel for strong Wallet. Today's 1738 01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:36,320 Speaker 31: North Island Napier Sail. The Strong Wooll indicator was up 1739 01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:40,280 Speaker 31: ten cents to its highest point in the past three seasons. 1740 01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:44,439 Speaker 31: One hundred percent clearance rate, slightly lower exchange rate is 1741 01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:48,000 Speaker 31: happening as well, and some of the commentary from PGG 1742 01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:50,240 Speaker 31: Rights and Wallin I has read their report was that 1743 01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:54,080 Speaker 31: some early U sharing is underway and the quality thus 1744 01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:56,639 Speaker 31: far looks to be excellent. So all in all, those 1745 01:20:56,680 --> 01:20:58,760 Speaker 31: two stories add up to a good news story for 1746 01:20:58,840 --> 01:20:59,400 Speaker 31: sheep farmers. 1747 01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:02,479 Speaker 2: Totally listen. Why isn't that broccoli might cost nine bucks ahead? 1748 01:21:02,560 --> 01:21:04,240 Speaker 2: What's going on there? Yeah? 1749 01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:07,000 Speaker 31: Well, can you imagine that twenty seven dollars a kilo 1750 01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:10,760 Speaker 31: nine dollars ahead. There's a new report out from the 1751 01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:14,439 Speaker 31: New Zealand Institute of Economic Research which is warning fresh 1752 01:21:14,840 --> 01:21:20,519 Speaker 31: vegetable prices could increase, possibly dramatically, if the government doesn't 1753 01:21:20,600 --> 01:21:24,720 Speaker 31: move to provide a clear and workable regulatory pathway for 1754 01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:28,320 Speaker 31: vegetable production. Now, I've quoted those numbers twenty seven dollars 1755 01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:32,960 Speaker 31: a kilo for broccoli, nine dollars ahead, and those are 1756 01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:37,640 Speaker 31: the potential vegetable production should I say, is cut by 1757 01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:41,280 Speaker 31: twenty percent as a result of proposed regulations aimed at 1758 01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:46,360 Speaker 31: reducing nitrogen runoffs. So this report draws on research estimating 1759 01:21:46,439 --> 01:21:50,400 Speaker 31: that twenty percent reduction and vegetable supply should these regulations 1760 01:21:50,479 --> 01:21:53,519 Speaker 31: come and could push vegetable prices up by at least 1761 01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:57,920 Speaker 31: twenty percent, possibly one hundred percent. So yeah, we've got 1762 01:21:57,960 --> 01:21:59,920 Speaker 31: to tread warily on that one. On the other problem 1763 01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:02,760 Speaker 31: it's got with vegetables, ever, is that some of the 1764 01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:06,960 Speaker 31: best vegetable growing land in this country it's now growing houses. 1765 01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:10,840 Speaker 2: A very good point, Jamie, Thanks very much, mate, Jamie McKay, 1766 01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:13,519 Speaker 2: host of the Country Listen on. I gave you at 1767 01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:16,240 Speaker 2: the very start of the program the economists prediction for 1768 01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:18,000 Speaker 2: who's going to win the election, and now it's a 1769 01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:19,840 Speaker 2: fifty to fifty dead heat, right, and then the polls 1770 01:22:19,880 --> 01:22:24,280 Speaker 2: are basically saying consistently that it is tight. It is tight, 1771 01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:26,360 Speaker 2: it is tight, it's fifty to fifty. That's not what 1772 01:22:26,479 --> 01:22:29,280 Speaker 2: the betting odds are saying. Somebody's just pointed me to 1773 01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:32,120 Speaker 2: sports bet Australia, which is betting side over there. Obviously 1774 01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:34,720 Speaker 2: Trump is paying a dollar fifty, Harris is paying two 1775 01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:37,640 Speaker 2: dollars fifty. And in the UK, Trump's odds are now 1776 01:22:37,800 --> 01:22:42,200 Speaker 2: sixty two percent, Harris's odds are forty one percent. Gamblers 1777 01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:46,960 Speaker 2: have put thirty thirty four million pounds on Harris and 1778 01:22:47,200 --> 01:22:50,280 Speaker 2: forty nine million pounds on Trump, So the gamblers think 1779 01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:55,919 Speaker 2: Trump's going to take it. Headline's next, whether. 1780 01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:59,600 Speaker 1: It's macro micro or just playing economics, it's all the 1781 01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:03,519 Speaker 1: business hour with Heather Dupericy Allen and my HR the 1782 01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:26,920 Speaker 1: HR solution for busy SMEs U Stogsby. 1783 01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:20,800 Speaker 2: And Brady's going to be with us out of the 1784 01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:23,960 Speaker 2: UK in about ten minutes time. Listen, I think this 1785 01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:26,200 Speaker 2: is interesting out of Australia. You know, they've just done 1786 01:23:26,240 --> 01:23:29,760 Speaker 2: this final report into their COVID response. The guy who 1787 01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:32,559 Speaker 2: was the former Deputy Chief Medical Officer Chap called Nick 1788 01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:35,959 Speaker 2: Coatsworth has gone on Taly and apologized for the vaccine mandates. 1789 01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:40,160 Speaker 2: He said having people lose jobs over those vaccine mandates 1790 01:23:40,240 --> 01:23:42,960 Speaker 2: really did a road trust. This is a real issue 1791 01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:45,519 Speaker 2: for Australia because you don't need ten percent of people 1792 01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:47,720 Speaker 2: to lose trust in your vaccine program for it to 1793 01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:50,400 Speaker 2: be a problem. It only needs to be somewhere between 1794 01:23:50,520 --> 01:23:53,479 Speaker 2: one and five percent the vaccine mandates. I mean, I 1795 01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:55,960 Speaker 2: think we're all starting. If you haven't already realized it, 1796 01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:58,639 Speaker 2: you will probably realize it at some point. The vaccine 1797 01:23:58,680 --> 01:24:00,640 Speaker 2: mandates were a terrible thing to do, and at some 1798 01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:02,360 Speaker 2: stage I would like to see an apology in this 1799 01:24:02,439 --> 01:24:03,920 Speaker 2: country for it as well, because we should never have 1800 01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:07,800 Speaker 2: forced we should never have forced people to take something 1801 01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:09,360 Speaker 2: they didn't want to take, even if we thought it 1802 01:24:09,439 --> 01:24:11,080 Speaker 2: was for the better, even if we thought it was 1803 01:24:11,200 --> 01:24:13,120 Speaker 2: good for them and good for us, shouldn't have forced 1804 01:24:13,160 --> 01:24:16,000 Speaker 2: it twenty three away from seven Ever, do for ce Ellen, 1805 01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:19,479 Speaker 2: Joe Rogan loves it. Gwyneth Paltrow loves it. Lewis Hamilton 1806 01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:21,120 Speaker 2: loves it. I'm talking about ag one, which is a 1807 01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:25,080 Speaker 2: billion dollar supplement company founded by a New Zealander Chris Ashington. Now, 1808 01:24:25,800 --> 01:24:28,519 Speaker 2: the entrepreneur has quit as the chief executive and the 1809 01:24:28,560 --> 01:24:31,560 Speaker 2: reason he's done that has come after a Newsroom investigation 1810 01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:34,040 Speaker 2: challenged him on the company's revenues and claims that the 1811 01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:36,720 Speaker 2: product has made in New Zealand. Now, Jonathan Milne is 1812 01:24:36,840 --> 01:24:39,960 Speaker 2: Newsroom pros Managing editor and he and maker of the 1813 01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:42,559 Speaker 2: Powder Keg podcast, which is what this is all about. 1814 01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:43,000 Speaker 5: It is with us. 1815 01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:45,760 Speaker 2: Hey John, how are you doing very well? Thank you? 1816 01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:47,680 Speaker 2: How did he get endorsements like this? I mean those 1817 01:24:47,680 --> 01:24:48,479 Speaker 2: are massive names. 1818 01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:51,960 Speaker 30: Look, this company is like one of the biggest social 1819 01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:55,360 Speaker 30: media operators in the world. Sorry, social influence are operators there. 1820 01:24:55,720 --> 01:24:58,880 Speaker 30: There's stars in this in this arena, but you know 1821 01:24:59,160 --> 01:25:02,360 Speaker 30: that kind of influence doesn't come cheap. And Rogan Huberman 1822 01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:05,920 Speaker 30: they're getting millions from a One to endorse it. The 1823 01:25:06,520 --> 01:25:10,800 Speaker 30: newo CEO of ag One herself says that they are 1824 01:25:10,840 --> 01:25:14,320 Speaker 30: the third biggest ad spender in audio in the world. 1825 01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:17,519 Speaker 30: So this is a massive, massive marketing spend. 1826 01:25:17,720 --> 01:25:20,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's massive overseas, but not here. Why is 1827 01:25:20,200 --> 01:25:20,680 Speaker 2: it not here? 1828 01:25:20,840 --> 01:25:22,720 Speaker 30: Yeah, that's really interesting. That's actually one of the things 1829 01:25:22,720 --> 01:25:24,599 Speaker 30: that piqued my interest about this in the first place, 1830 01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:27,840 Speaker 30: because I found out about this guy. You know, my 1831 01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:31,479 Speaker 30: wife played me this at this podcast and she said, 1832 01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:34,000 Speaker 30: check out this ad, you know, made in New Zealand, 1833 01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:37,560 Speaker 30: made for nearly everybody, and I'd never heard of it, 1834 01:25:38,360 --> 01:25:39,920 Speaker 30: and it was made by this key we guy, And 1835 01:25:39,960 --> 01:25:42,680 Speaker 30: I thought, well, this is absolutely fascinating. But when I 1836 01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:44,880 Speaker 30: started digging a little bit, well, when he wouldn't front 1837 01:25:44,920 --> 01:25:46,960 Speaker 30: for an interview, because you know what, big corporate doesn't 1838 01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:51,439 Speaker 30: want to spreak their product on free media. When he 1839 01:25:51,479 --> 01:25:54,160 Speaker 30: wouldn't front for an interview, I just started a few 1840 01:25:54,400 --> 01:25:58,000 Speaker 30: journalistic alarm bells started to ring, and so I started 1841 01:25:58,040 --> 01:26:01,640 Speaker 30: digging around a little bit further and found found in 1842 01:26:01,760 --> 01:26:05,040 Speaker 30: the gazettes, the New Zealand Gazette, which never forgets, you know, 1843 01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:11,040 Speaker 30: sort of this ancient record of journalism that records bad 1844 01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:13,200 Speaker 30: stuff that be done for a very long time, and 1845 01:26:13,320 --> 01:26:16,880 Speaker 30: I found out that he'd actually declared himself bankrupt, owing 1846 01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:19,559 Speaker 30: three million dollars. I think that's why he doesn't market 1847 01:26:19,640 --> 01:26:22,559 Speaker 30: his own product in New Zealand, even though it's made 1848 01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:24,479 Speaker 30: in New Zealand and he boasts about it being made 1849 01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:26,559 Speaker 30: in New Zealand. I think the reason that he doesn't 1850 01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:28,559 Speaker 30: market it here is because he knows that that it's 1851 01:26:28,560 --> 01:26:29,720 Speaker 30: going to come back to bite him. 1852 01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:32,000 Speaker 2: But so what I mean, lots of people who've done 1853 01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:34,800 Speaker 2: who go on to be very successful business people have 1854 01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:36,320 Speaker 2: in the past been bankrupted. 1855 01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:39,200 Speaker 30: Yeah, And I agree absolutely, And I think everyone to 1856 01:26:39,280 --> 01:26:41,320 Speaker 30: get a second chance, right. You know, we've all done 1857 01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:43,479 Speaker 30: stuff we regret, we've all made mistakes, and we all 1858 01:26:43,479 --> 01:26:45,400 Speaker 30: should be given a chance to go on. But what 1859 01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:49,120 Speaker 30: he's gone on to do is try to spin his 1860 01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:51,000 Speaker 30: way out and out of us and try to hide it. 1861 01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:53,360 Speaker 30: And if it was a simple case that he had 1862 01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:55,280 Speaker 30: done some bad stuff in the past, and he did 1863 01:26:55,360 --> 01:26:56,600 Speaker 30: burn a lot of people, and I've talked to a 1864 01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:59,280 Speaker 30: lot of people who got really bad, vulnerable people who 1865 01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:02,400 Speaker 30: tried to get into their first homes and thought they 1866 01:27:02,439 --> 01:27:04,400 Speaker 30: were on the property ladder, turned out he never handed 1867 01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:07,280 Speaker 30: the data title over to them, so he did get convicted. 1868 01:27:07,360 --> 01:27:08,800 Speaker 2: It's not a decent bankruptcy. 1869 01:27:09,040 --> 01:27:12,160 Speaker 30: It's you know, it's not a good on a spankruptcy. 1870 01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:15,160 Speaker 30: I don't know what that looks like. But you know, 1871 01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:19,320 Speaker 30: I could even forgive them that if he said, I'm sorry, 1872 01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:22,400 Speaker 30: I got it wrong, and I'll pay my reparations, because 1873 01:27:22,400 --> 01:27:24,320 Speaker 30: you know what, I'm a multi millionaire now I will 1874 01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:26,400 Speaker 30: pay one hundred and eighty two thousand dollars in fines 1875 01:27:26,400 --> 01:27:28,880 Speaker 30: and reparations at the New Zealand courts ordered me to 1876 01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:31,920 Speaker 30: pay to these people who are on the bones of 1877 01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:35,519 Speaker 30: their ass and will never own their own home now 1878 01:27:35,640 --> 01:27:38,760 Speaker 30: they're at retirement age or they're approaching retirement age. This 1879 01:27:39,160 --> 01:27:41,200 Speaker 30: was their one chance to get on the property ladder 1880 01:27:41,240 --> 01:27:43,439 Speaker 30: in South Auckland or in Viicago where he ran his schemes, 1881 01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:48,120 Speaker 30: and it's never going to happen for them now. An apology. 1882 01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:50,880 Speaker 30: He has now delivered an apology to them via a 1883 01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:53,600 Speaker 30: statement to me. He has said he deeply apologized for 1884 01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:56,840 Speaker 30: any hurt that was caused, but he refuses to talk 1885 01:27:56,840 --> 01:27:58,519 Speaker 30: about that one hundred and eighty two thousand dollars in 1886 01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:00,760 Speaker 30: fines and reparations that he that he's never paid. 1887 01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:03,240 Speaker 2: You also said that the stuff is made in New Zealand, 1888 01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:05,880 Speaker 2: But it's not, is it? Look it is, Some of 1889 01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:07,080 Speaker 2: it is, some of it is. 1890 01:28:08,479 --> 01:28:12,479 Speaker 30: There's a contract manufacturer that used to make all of 1891 01:28:12,520 --> 01:28:15,879 Speaker 30: it and they have now cut back dramatically and shifted 1892 01:28:16,040 --> 01:28:18,400 Speaker 30: a lot of that production to Utah in the United States. 1893 01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:21,080 Speaker 30: So that's going to be hard for that manufacturing company. 1894 01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:25,160 Speaker 30: And it also means that they've kept on since they 1895 01:28:25,240 --> 01:28:27,479 Speaker 30: started doing that, shifting so much of their production to Utah, 1896 01:28:28,400 --> 01:28:31,280 Speaker 30: they kept on marketing it is being made in New 1897 01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:34,920 Speaker 30: Zealand for the subsequent two years until I asked questions 1898 01:28:34,960 --> 01:28:37,760 Speaker 30: about it, and then they started pulling those ads. I 1899 01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:40,200 Speaker 30: have talked to the Commerce Commission about this. They're not happy, 1900 01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:44,000 Speaker 30: they've they've they're very hard line on companies marketing their 1901 01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:46,080 Speaker 30: products as made in New Zealand or produced New Zealand 1902 01:28:46,160 --> 01:28:47,680 Speaker 30: or from New Zealand when they're not. 1903 01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:49,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, for obvious reasons.

I make myself a big bloody pot of coffee, 1932 01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:46,240 Speaker 30: a black coffee, and for two months I made myself 1933 01:29:46,240 --> 01:29:47,600 Speaker 30: a shaker of age. You one and I have a 1934 01:29:47,720 --> 01:29:50,840 Speaker 30: sort of side by side healthy coffee healthy coffee, and 1935 01:29:52,240 --> 01:29:54,560 Speaker 30: it tasted good, and it was just a ritual and 1936 01:29:54,640 --> 01:29:57,040 Speaker 30: I don't have breakfast for like six hours into my 1937 01:29:57,120 --> 01:30:00,640 Speaker 30: day or something, and so it's just it was just 1938 01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:03,400 Speaker 30: something that I could do that I enjoyed, and I 1939 01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:05,360 Speaker 30: felt a little bit sad when I stopped taking it, 1940 01:30:05,680 --> 01:30:08,280 Speaker 30: and that I mean, you laugh. But that habit forming, 1941 01:30:08,479 --> 01:30:11,480 Speaker 30: that's absolutely critical to their business model. That and social influencers, 1942 01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:13,679 Speaker 30: because they've got a subscription model and as you said, 1943 01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:16,720 Speaker 30: as some of your listeners said, you can't buy it 1944 01:30:16,840 --> 01:30:20,280 Speaker 30: in New Zealand, so and you can't buy it over 1945 01:30:20,360 --> 01:30:22,880 Speaker 30: the counter anywhere, so people have to get it from 1946 01:30:22,960 --> 01:30:26,120 Speaker 30: the company. And a monthly subscription costs a bomb one 1947 01:30:26,200 --> 01:30:29,320 Speaker 30: hundred US dollars a month. If they're going to keep 1948 01:30:29,400 --> 01:30:31,879 Speaker 30: people paying for that money and keep them on subscription, 1949 01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:34,400 Speaker 30: they need to form a habit. It's critical to them. 1950 01:30:34,560 --> 01:30:39,000 Speaker 30: Why did he quit looks He has not confirmed that 1951 01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:41,840 Speaker 30: it was because of the questions we were asking. We 1952 01:30:41,960 --> 01:30:44,680 Speaker 30: were asking some pretty robust questions about the level of 1953 01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:49,479 Speaker 30: his disclosure of his criminal records. He did, but this 1954 01:30:49,640 --> 01:30:52,679 Speaker 30: year he said that he didn't hadn't committed any crimes. 1955 01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:55,559 Speaker 30: He said that he'd never had an arrest warrant issued 1956 01:30:56,240 --> 01:30:58,439 Speaker 30: against him. He said that he'd paid all his fines 1957 01:30:58,479 --> 01:31:02,479 Speaker 30: and reparations. Now we're able to demonstrate with court papers 1958 01:31:02,520 --> 01:31:05,520 Speaker 30: that there's demonstrate demonstrably and couraged. 1959 01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:08,519 Speaker 2: Demonstrably demonstras am start, then yeah. 1960 01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:09,639 Speaker 3: I don't. 1961 01:31:09,800 --> 01:31:10,679 Speaker 30: I don't have to pronounce. 1962 01:31:10,760 --> 01:31:12,000 Speaker 2: It's totally wrong. 1963 01:31:14,960 --> 01:31:17,840 Speaker 30: Those three claims are wrong. And this was just a 1964 01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:19,800 Speaker 30: few months ago in a big meeting that he had 1965 01:31:19,840 --> 01:31:23,479 Speaker 30: with his staff. And presumably he's been saying board telling 1966 01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:25,639 Speaker 30: us board the same thing. Now that can't go down 1967 01:31:25,680 --> 01:31:27,599 Speaker 30: well when we're able to go back to them and say, actually, 1968 01:31:27,640 --> 01:31:30,360 Speaker 30: here's the evidence that what you're telling your company now, 1969 01:31:30,400 --> 01:31:32,280 Speaker 30: what you're telling your customers now, and what you're probably 1970 01:31:32,320 --> 01:31:34,280 Speaker 30: telling your board now, I haven't set in on the 1971 01:31:34,280 --> 01:31:37,360 Speaker 30: board meetings. I hastened to add, but it's not it's 1972 01:31:37,400 --> 01:31:37,840 Speaker 30: not true. 1973 01:31:38,200 --> 01:31:40,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, what's the what's the podcast called. 1974 01:31:40,439 --> 01:31:41,320 Speaker 10: It's called powder Keg. 1975 01:31:41,479 --> 01:31:44,160 Speaker 30: It's on the Dove joannel from from newsroom, and I 1976 01:31:44,240 --> 01:31:45,880 Speaker 30: just want to very quickly say thank you very much 1977 01:31:45,880 --> 01:31:50,200 Speaker 30: to the Brian Gainer Initiatives.

Speak to you again? 1994 01:32:29,320 --> 01:32:29,640 Speaker 6: All right? 1995 01:32:29,720 --> 01:32:31,799 Speaker 2: Was there anything in that budget that you were not expecting? 1996 01:32:32,920 --> 01:32:33,080 Speaker 10: Yeah? 1997 01:32:33,200 --> 01:32:35,800 Speaker 22: I think the sheer scale of the tax rises. We 1998 01:32:35,920 --> 01:32:38,240 Speaker 22: knew things were going up, but we didn't realize that 1999 01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:41,879 Speaker 22: the tax burden will be going up by eighty billion 2000 01:32:42,160 --> 01:32:46,400 Speaker 22: and z dollars. It's a huge, huge gamble by Rachel Reeves. 2001 01:32:46,760 --> 01:32:49,759 Speaker 22: They're calling it the shock and awe budget because nobody 2002 01:32:49,800 --> 01:32:52,040 Speaker 22: saw the scale of it, the ambition of it, and 2003 01:32:52,160 --> 01:32:54,599 Speaker 22: look if she gets it right. As she pointed out 2004 01:32:54,680 --> 01:32:58,599 Speaker 22: in her speech in Parliament, the prize is enormous, Britten 2005 01:32:58,680 --> 01:33:02,840 Speaker 22: back on its feet again, services working a thriving economy, 2006 01:33:03,320 --> 01:33:05,400 Speaker 22: and yet there will be some short term pain. But 2007 01:33:05,520 --> 01:33:08,400 Speaker 22: I think what she's looking for is the impact of 2008 01:33:08,479 --> 01:33:11,200 Speaker 22: this down the road, maybe three or four years, that 2009 01:33:11,360 --> 01:33:14,559 Speaker 22: people can stop seeing a health service crumbling in front 2010 01:33:14,600 --> 01:33:16,560 Speaker 22: of their eyes, that can start driving on roads that 2011 01:33:16,640 --> 01:33:19,280 Speaker 22: aren't riddled with potholes, and we can kind of get 2012 01:33:19,360 --> 01:33:21,760 Speaker 22: Britain moving again. Of course, the one big elephant in 2013 01:33:21,840 --> 01:33:24,800 Speaker 22: the room that nobody ever mentions is Brexit, that has 2014 01:33:24,960 --> 01:33:27,360 Speaker 22: bled money out of this country now for a decade. 2015 01:33:28,640 --> 01:33:31,080 Speaker 2: The problem that the only, I mean the major problem 2016 01:33:31,080 --> 01:33:32,960 Speaker 2: that I can foresee here is that it is going 2017 01:33:33,040 --> 01:33:34,560 Speaker 2: to do the very thing that you don't want to do, 2018 01:33:34,600 --> 01:33:36,679 Speaker 2: which is dissuade investment. Right if you've got that capital 2019 01:33:36,720 --> 01:33:39,320 Speaker 2: gains text going up. Is that any of you guys 2020 01:33:39,360 --> 01:33:40,080 Speaker 2: worried about. 2021 01:33:39,840 --> 01:33:40,240 Speaker 3: That at all? 2022 01:33:41,120 --> 01:33:42,479 Speaker 10: Well, she doesn't seem to be. 2023 01:33:42,640 --> 01:33:47,120 Speaker 22: And the three words she repeated were invest, invest, invest, 2024 01:33:47,479 --> 01:33:50,479 Speaker 22: So she wants people to come in and get going 2025 01:33:50,640 --> 01:33:54,000 Speaker 22: and start pumping cash into Britain and look London certainly 2026 01:33:54,160 --> 01:33:57,760 Speaker 22: and other cities still hugely attractive to foreign investors, so 2027 01:33:58,240 --> 01:33:59,240 Speaker 22: I think give it time. 2028 01:33:59,479 --> 01:34:02,000 Speaker 10: The market have not in any way been spooked. 2029 01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:04,960 Speaker 22: I thought she spoke very well and a lot of 2030 01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:09,320 Speaker 22: people were licking their lips really sarcastically at the little 2031 01:34:09,400 --> 01:34:11,439 Speaker 22: dig she made at Sunac when she pointed out that 2032 01:34:12,120 --> 01:34:16,320 Speaker 22: he's leader two more days until the Conservatives appointing new 2033 01:34:16,360 --> 01:34:20,599 Speaker 22: leader Saturday. But Rachel Reves pointed out that the tax 2034 01:34:20,760 --> 01:34:23,280 Speaker 22: on flying in private jets is going up by nine 2035 01:34:23,400 --> 01:34:26,920 Speaker 22: hundred dollars, and she said that's on a flight to California, 2036 01:34:27,200 --> 01:34:29,519 Speaker 22: and she looked directly at Sunac because he spends a 2037 01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:32,519 Speaker 22: lot of time with his family in California. So there 2038 01:34:32,560 --> 01:34:35,040 Speaker 22: were moments of humor, but I think all in all, 2039 01:34:35,280 --> 01:34:38,320 Speaker 22: let's just wait and see if she can turn Britain around. 2040 01:34:38,520 --> 01:34:38,680 Speaker 14: Yeah. 2041 01:34:38,760 --> 01:34:41,760 Speaker 2: Interesting have been starkesman. They must have been frightening for 2042 01:34:41,840 --> 01:34:42,360 Speaker 2: his family. 2043 01:34:43,439 --> 01:34:46,280 Speaker 22: Yes, So he was in Pakistan playing cricket for England 2044 01:34:46,479 --> 01:34:50,120 Speaker 22: and a gang of hoodlums turned up in masks, raided 2045 01:34:50,160 --> 01:34:55,200 Speaker 22: the house, basically ripped jewelry from the family and crucially 2046 01:34:55,280 --> 01:34:58,439 Speaker 22: as well, what's been taken is his Obe medal. Now 2047 01:34:58,640 --> 01:35:00,920 Speaker 22: Ben Stokes has put a stay without just saying how 2048 01:35:00,960 --> 01:35:02,760 Speaker 22: angry he is that this happened when his wife and 2049 01:35:02,880 --> 01:35:05,400 Speaker 22: children were in the house in Durham, up in the 2050 01:35:05,439 --> 01:35:08,280 Speaker 22: northeast of England and he was off playing cricket in 2051 01:35:08,320 --> 01:35:12,840 Speaker 22: Pakistan representing his country. So shocking stuff and shame on them. 2052 01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:17,400 Speaker 22: And one interesting point Stokes said, he's not interested in guns. 2053 01:35:18,640 --> 01:35:21,320 Speaker 22: The items my family are find. What I'm interested in 2054 01:35:21,479 --> 01:35:24,320 Speaker 22: and why I'm putting pictures of these items out is 2055 01:35:24,400 --> 01:35:27,280 Speaker 22: for people to name who did this so the police 2056 01:35:27,320 --> 01:35:29,160 Speaker 22: can catch them and no family has to go through 2057 01:35:29,240 --> 01:35:29,639 Speaker 22: that again. 2058 01:35:29,840 --> 01:35:33,160 Speaker 2: Quite now, Ryan Reynolds day, so he's he's brought to 2059 01:35:33,200 --> 01:35:34,040 Speaker 2: be a company. 2060 01:35:33,880 --> 01:35:36,720 Speaker 22: Or bought some of he has, Yes, so this is 2061 01:35:36,840 --> 01:35:39,280 Speaker 22: this is a wonderful story. You talk about investment and 2062 01:35:39,400 --> 01:35:42,040 Speaker 22: foreign money coming into the UK. So a few years 2063 01:35:42,080 --> 01:35:45,200 Speaker 22: ago Ryan Reynolds teamed up with his acting mate from Hollywood, 2064 01:35:45,280 --> 01:35:46,320 Speaker 22: Ryan McIlhenny. 2065 01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:48,439 Speaker 10: They bought Wrexham Football Club. 2066 01:35:48,720 --> 01:35:52,760 Speaker 22: So Wrexham, it's a Welsh club in with Norris disrespect 2067 01:35:52,840 --> 01:35:56,320 Speaker 22: to Wrexham or the people, a struggling town, an economically 2068 01:35:56,520 --> 01:35:57,320 Speaker 22: depressed town. 2069 01:35:57,840 --> 01:35:58,280 Speaker 10: They came in. 2070 01:35:58,400 --> 01:36:00,559 Speaker 22: They bought the soccer team there were not league at 2071 01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:03,360 Speaker 22: the time, in the fifth Division of English and Welsh soccer. 2072 01:36:04,360 --> 01:36:06,840 Speaker 22: They've risen up and there are now two promotions away 2073 01:36:06,880 --> 01:36:10,120 Speaker 22: from the Premier League, so Rexham are absolutely flying on 2074 01:36:10,200 --> 01:36:13,519 Speaker 22: the soccer field. There is a local brewery and they've 2075 01:36:13,600 --> 01:36:16,519 Speaker 22: decided now to buy that as well, so I think 2076 01:36:16,600 --> 01:36:20,000 Speaker 22: in terms of jobs, growth, investment, the name Wrexham going 2077 01:36:20,040 --> 01:36:22,120 Speaker 22: all over the world because of course that they have 2078 01:36:22,200 --> 01:36:25,000 Speaker 22: this TV show Welcome to Wrexham, which is on all 2079 01:36:25,040 --> 01:36:26,160 Speaker 22: the streaming services. 2080 01:36:26,240 --> 01:36:27,320 Speaker 10: It's very very good. 2081 01:36:28,000 --> 01:36:30,599 Speaker 22: I think a lot of towns and football clubs will 2082 01:36:30,640 --> 01:36:33,280 Speaker 22: just be wondering where can we get our hands on 2083 01:36:33,400 --> 01:36:36,599 Speaker 22: someone like Reynolds and his mate McIlhenny.

Off you go, yep, off 2116 01:38:05,640 --> 01:38:07,720 Speaker 2: you go, Off you go. And then at some point 2117 01:38:07,800 --> 01:38:11,120 Speaker 2: someone was like, where's Moie? Why is he not come 2118 01:38:11,200 --> 01:38:14,760 Speaker 2: back to jail, and they're like, oh no, not to 2119 01:38:14,800 --> 01:38:18,240 Speaker 2: go find him. Fortunately, he'd gone back to one of 2120 01:38:18,320 --> 01:38:20,880 Speaker 2: his usual haunts and so he was picked up without 2121 01:38:20,960 --> 01:38:23,120 Speaker 2: incident by the police a few hours later and he 2122 01:38:23,200 --> 01:38:25,640 Speaker 2: went back to jail. But the weird thing about it 2123 01:38:25,760 --> 01:38:27,320 Speaker 2: is that this is the second time this has happened 2124 01:38:27,400 --> 01:38:30,479 Speaker 2: this week. The day before on Tuesday, the Dunedin District 2125 01:38:30,520 --> 01:38:32,920 Speaker 2: Court accidentally released someone as we as well. How weird 2126 01:38:33,040 --> 01:38:33,599 Speaker 2: is that ends? 2127 01:38:34,040 --> 01:38:35,720 Speaker 12: I was going to say, I was about to make 2128 01:38:35,800 --> 01:38:37,200 Speaker 12: some sort of joke about how you want to make 2129 01:38:37,200 --> 01:38:39,400 Speaker 12: sure you get sentenced at the district Court in Monico, 2130 01:38:39,439 --> 01:38:42,439 Speaker 12: But yeah, clearly if it's happening everywhere, Yeah, holiday by 2131 01:38:42,520 --> 01:38:44,280 Speaker 12: does he Rascal to play us out tonight? I'm very 2132 01:38:44,280 --> 01:38:46,160 Speaker 12: sorry to hear hither that the the hip hop concert 2133 01:38:46,200 --> 01:38:48,760 Speaker 12: you went to yesterday didn't meet your standards musically, So 2134 01:38:48,920 --> 01:38:51,719 Speaker 12: maybe we just need to like rewind maybe ten years earlier, 2135 01:38:52,000 --> 01:38:53,240 Speaker 12: go see a naughties rapper? 2136 01:38:53,479 --> 01:38:54,200 Speaker 2: Does he Rascal? 2137 01:38:54,840 --> 01:38:56,840 Speaker 12: He's performing in Auckland at the Town Hall on the 2138 01:38:56,920 --> 01:38:59,800 Speaker 12: thirtieth of January. The pre sale tickets are on sale 2139 01:39:00,479 --> 01:39:02,720 Speaker 12: and the general sale happens tomorrow on Ticketmaster. 2140 01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:05,840 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what okay last night, because last night 2141 01:39:05,920 --> 01:39:08,360 Speaker 2: I was I was feeling sorry for myself. It was 2142 01:39:08,880 --> 01:39:12,240 Speaker 2: a parrotechnic spectacle. Let's not lie. It was pretty amazing 2143 01:39:12,320 --> 01:39:14,160 Speaker 2: to watch if I was feeling sorry for myself. But 2144 01:39:14,600 --> 01:39:17,080 Speaker 2: the whole concert I was feeling sorry for Helen. I 2145 01:39:17,240 --> 01:39:20,280 Speaker 2: just thought, poor Helen, Like, this is the loudest, most 2146 01:39:20,880 --> 01:39:24,600 Speaker 2: annoying music I can possibly like, nonsense music. And I 2147 01:39:24,760 --> 01:39:28,120 Speaker 2: know Helen loves her concert FM. So can you imagine 2148 01:39:28,560 --> 01:39:32,439 Speaker 2: the contrast between the concert program and that nonsense that 2149 01:39:32,600 --> 01:39:34,040 Speaker 2: was going on right outside? 2150 01:39:34,400 --> 01:39:37,320 Speaker 12: Well, I mean, if you turned up the Philarmmonia Orchestra 2151 01:39:37,439 --> 01:39:39,160 Speaker 12: to a certain level, it would probably sound like that 2152 01:39:39,240 --> 01:39:40,760 Speaker 12: as well. And I mean I'm sure they'd like some 2153 01:39:40,840 --> 01:39:41,679 Speaker 12: fireworks at something. 2154 01:39:41,760 --> 01:39:41,800 Speaker 10: No. 2155 01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:43,759 Speaker 12: No, I mean, you know, you move next to a stadium. 2156 01:39:43,800 --> 01:39:44,720 Speaker 12: I think that's fair enough. 2157 01:39:45,439 --> 01:39:49,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean my concerns for Helen only went so far. 2158 01:39:49,680 --> 01:39:51,639 Speaker 2: But I just I just hope that she'd gone out 2159 01:39:51,640 --> 01:39:53,559 Speaker 2: for dinner or something, maybe gone to see her dad 2160 01:39:53,640 --> 01:39:56,120 Speaker 2: and Corimandel or something, just to get away from that. Anyway, 2161 01:39:56,560 --> 01:39:58,439 Speaker 2: good point, and it's just turn up the concert till 2162 01:39:58,479 --> 01:40:00,880 Speaker 2: it basically distorts in the space, because then it sounds 2163 01:40:00,920 --> 01:40:03,679 Speaker 2: exactly the same as Trevor Scott See you Tomorrow.
