1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: It's also tropical out at Mount Summer Station. Morning to you, 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: David Ecklund. Yeah, morning, Look, we might come back to that, 3 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,639 Speaker 1: but first, would you be happy to see he can canned. 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 2: We'll be happy to see it changed and a new 5 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 2: structure come out of it. That's what feed has been 6 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,639 Speaker 2: arguing for a long time. So yeah, we're happy to 7 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 2: see a process begin and it'll be interesting to see 8 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 2: how it plays out. 9 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: Heard from David Clark yesterday, just madness to me that 10 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: you have to beg this almighty Wizard of Oz to 11 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: literally keep doing what you're doing and pay upwards of 12 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: sixty thousand dollars for the privilege. You must have no 13 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 1: end of those sort of stories. 14 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's been a lot of that over the 15 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 2: last over the last six months in the build up 16 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 2: to this point in time where the complexity of the 17 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 2: relatory of environments its just become madness to farmers. So yeah, 18 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 2: we're very hopeful something was going to happen, and something's happened. 19 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 2: So now it's about sort of navigating navigating process and 20 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 2: the government proposal, so the removal of e propose and 21 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 2: removal of ECN counselors and replacement by mayors and then 22 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 2: that transition process to more low orientated one tier system. 23 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 2: So yeah, they still need to understand what's going to 24 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: come in there. We may too, So those two things 25 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 2: sort of tied together until we get visibility of that 26 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 2: in the next couple of weeks. Then we'll get a 27 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 2: better understanding of what is in front of us. 28 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: Good opportunity to uncomplicate things. I was thinking about this 29 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: a bit more yesterday from a towny perspective too. It's 30 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: really strange in the sense that we've got an outfit 31 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 1: that has quite a bit of influence, but in the 32 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: same vein unless you're directly affected by it, such as 33 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: those in the rural community, we don't really care. No 34 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: one votes. I bet bucker all living in town could 35 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: name any of the sixteen current ECN councilors. We just 36 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: pay our rates bill and carry on with our lives. 37 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: We've just zoned out. 38 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's that's that's the problem with it 39 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 2: when you come to think about that representation model. Unless 40 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 2: you're personally affected by it, then you don't really engage 41 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 2: in that process. So I think the one tier system 42 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: where everyone is therefore affected by by it somehow in 43 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 2: some form. Therefore, hopefully we'll get better engagement by the 44 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 2: community in the decision making process rather than thinking on 45 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 2: it that's just for that, that'll we handle by them, 46 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 2: and then you get the voting of just for environmental purposes, 47 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 2: which can skew the skew the type of people that 48 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 2: you have on that in that governance role. 49 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 1: Yeah too, right, Hey, good news yesterday. Interest rates keep 50 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: coming down for many it's the highest on farm costs. 51 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: So is that in we early Christmas present? 52 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 3: Cool? 53 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it was really pleasing to see that. Well, 54 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 2: it's still doesn't mean the economy is turned though, does it. 55 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 2: So we do need to see the economy turn, especially 56 00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 2: in Auckland and in those larger urban areas, you know, 57 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 2: because we don't want the interest rates to keep on 58 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 2: falling because of basically that means the economy is not 59 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 2: working as well as it could be. But yeah, it was, 60 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 2: it was. It was pleasing, although it was off the 61 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: back of the frontier announcement the day before with a 62 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 2: change in the midpoint on the milk price, which was 63 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 2: a wee bit of a damn that but sort of 64 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 2: a semi. 65 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 3: Expected with the results of the last fewe DTS, so 66 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 3: it's good, yeah, exactly, and it's a good we're building 67 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,679 Speaker 3: into Christmas now and that the madness of December trying 68 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 3: to get everything done. 69 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 2: So we'll just keep on trucking. 70 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: Your reason. You'll get some rain today, I. 71 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 2: Hope, so we sort of need it. It's you know, 72 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 2: the norm West period has been a little bit longer 73 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 2: than normal. Started in August and it's still ticking away. 74 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 2: So they keep on telling me there's going to be 75 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 2: a change that laranin or so we're in a neutral zone, 76 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 2: it's going to change into first gear or something like that. 77 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 2: So we've quite got swung around and we've got a 78 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 2: few more easterly so 79 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 3: I'll look forward to that.
