1 00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,559 Speaker 1: earlier this show with one Root Love where You Live 3 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:10,640 Speaker 1: News Talks, it'd be good morning. 4 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 2: Six after five Coming up, Winston's off to the Cooks 5 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 2: to meet with Mark Brown Gavins in the UK. For US, 6 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,439 Speaker 2: Simon Bridges on business confidence or lack thereof plus two 7 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 2: million one point six million, one point four million houses 8 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 2: in Auckland. Does this number changing actually change anything for 9 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 2: us the agenda when say, the first of April, Trump's 10 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 2: throwing his toys out of the cot not unlike him 11 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 2: telling the UK and Europe go get your own oil 12 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 2: from the Strait of Hill Moves. 13 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 3: And I think the President was clear this morning. It 14 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 3: is truth that there are countries around the world who 15 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 3: ought be prepared to step up on this critical wide 16 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 3: away as well. 17 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 2: It's not just the United States Navy. 18 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 3: Last time I checked, there was supposed to be a big, 19 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 3: bad Royal Navy that could be prepared to do things 20 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 3: like that as well. So he's pointing out this is 21 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 3: an international waterway that we use less than most, in 22 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 3: fact dramatically less than most. So the world I pay 23 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 3: attention to be prepared to stand go get your own oil. 24 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 2: Higg saith. That was him speaking, by the way, he 25 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 2: says they've got b fifty two bombers in the year now. 26 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 2: Things are going to change in the coming days. 27 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 4: If Aram was willing to relinquish material they have and 28 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 4: ambitions they have, open this great. 29 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 5: That's the goal. 30 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 4: We don't want to have to do more militarily than 31 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 4: we have to. But I didn't mean it flippantly when 32 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 4: I said, in the meantime, we'll negotiate with bombs. Our 33 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 4: job is to ensure that we compel Ran to realize 34 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 4: that this new regime, this regime in charge, is in 35 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 4: a better place if they make that. 36 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all a bit awkward for Charles and Commilla 37 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 2: to go meet with Trump and go have a state 38 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 2: visit in America, but that's exactly what's going to happen. 39 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 2: Buckingham Palace is confirmed will be the end of the month. 40 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 6: Even as President Trump throws more insults towards the UK 41 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 6: this morning, I think the Palace and the government really 42 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 6: looking to try to draw a line under this. He 43 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 6: will go in late April. That will have all the 44 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 6: pomp and ceremony, the banqueting, the Guards of Honor, it's 45 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 6: thought that he will speak to both Houses of Congress. 46 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 2: To Australia. Go to the Australian Radio Network. The hits 47 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 2: keep coming for them, Jackie O Henderson now suing the 48 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 2: network claiming she has owed more than ninety two million 49 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 2: New Zealand dollars for being unlawfully sacked. 50 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 7: The bad thing is that they were. They succumbed to 51 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 7: the demands of these two and now they realize that 52 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,519 Speaker 7: they've paid way over the odds. They even had invoked 53 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 7: on their license that a censor had to be in 54 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 7: the channel with them listening to the show. So isn't 55 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 7: it on the censor and on ARN? 56 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on an early edition with 57 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and one roof Love where you. 58 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 2: Live News Talks, that'd be good morning, just gone eight 59 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 2: minutes after five seven months out from election and as 60 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 2: per all roads lead to Winston, he'll be kingmaker again, 61 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 2: mark my words. This may be his best and last 62 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 2: hope though of crowning himself Prime Minister. There are three 63 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 2: reasons why this is entirely possible and not entirely unreasonable. One, 64 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 2: he will likely head into negotiations with more support than 65 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 2: therefore more swag than in twenty twenty three and his 66 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 2: dream polling scenario on his Zealand first could control almost 67 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: a quarter of Cabinet two. Luxon has shown he is 68 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 2: more than happy to let others take the lead on 69 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 2: big issues and crises. He refers to Winston on most 70 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 2: things foreign affairs anyway, to Nicola and Marta Shane on 71 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 2: fuel at present three. He's technically done it before when 72 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 2: Jacinda Adourne went on matt leave. Remember that Winston stepped 73 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 2: up to the plate. The WORL didn't come to a 74 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 2: halting crash. Luxon often talks up sensible European MMP systems 75 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 2: that allow for different ways of doing things. Peters has 76 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: ruled out working with Hipkins, but not Labour. Luxon has 77 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 2: said the biggest threat to this country's future prospects and 78 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: prosperity is a Labour Green government. If he could stop 79 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 2: that by giving Parliament's most experienced member the hot seat 80 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 2: for a year or half a term. Why wouldn't he 81 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 2: current Polling Act has a say in this as well, 82 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 2: of course, because they would need another three way deal 83 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 2: basically to get it done, another threesome to get across 84 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 2: the line. Act inherently has less power, a bit like 85 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 2: the Greens to labor because they refuse a marriage with 86 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 2: their opponents. But the same rule applies to seymore as 87 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 2: it does to Luxen. If you don't want lefties in 88 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 2: the treasury benches, then why wouldn't you let Winston have 89 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 2: a turn in the top chair? 90 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 8: Ryan Bridge? 91 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 2: Nine two is the number to text, do you want 92 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 2: some useless information? This is from a University of Auckland study, 93 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 2: and the things that they study just sometimes baffle the mind. 94 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 2: Teenagers with stronger maths skills are more likely to go 95 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 2: on to higher education and earn better incomes as adults. 96 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 2: New research shows, so like, go to school and life 97 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 2: will be better for you. Eleven up to five News 98 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 2: talks there we'll talk about that number and housing in 99 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 2: Auckland next. 100 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: On your radio and online on Iheard Radio early edition 101 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: with Ryan Bridge and one Roote Love where you Live 102 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: news talks, they'd been. 103 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 2: Five point thirteen. Yesterday we were talking about elbow splashing 104 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,239 Speaker 2: the cash, making it rain with the fuel excise cuts 105 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 2: and inflation steaming towards five percent because of the war 106 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 2: over there. Well, yesterday's surprise surprise, the markets are now 107 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 2: pricing in from just one hike priced in yesterday or 108 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,239 Speaker 2: the day before, I should say, by yesterday afternoon, markets 109 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,799 Speaker 2: were pricing in three twenty five basis point hikes over there. 110 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 2: That would take their rates to four point eight five 111 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: percent this year. So interesting, isn't it. What's happening with 112 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 2: inflation and what can happen when you throw more fuel 113 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 2: on the fire. Although if you look at the federal budget, 114 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 2: very interesting little note from Westpac on this reported by 115 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 2: Interest dot Co. Actually for the federal budget on the 116 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 2: revenue side, the war is good for them, I mean 117 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 2: if you're a mining country. So basically they're saying higher 118 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: than assumed commodity prices expected to deliver the federal bus 119 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 2: a windfall of almost sixty billion dollars over the five 120 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 2: years to financial year thirty twenty billion of that is 121 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 2: basically coal and alling g prices up and the run 122 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 2: up in gold prices, while they get an extra nineteen 123 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: billion bucks over five years for that. That's what happens 124 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 2: when you dig and drill. Fourteen after five Ryan business 125 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 2: confidence has been punched in the guts down from fifty 126 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 2: nine to thirty three off the cliff. Basically, the latest 127 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 2: ANZ survey show's confidence has been hit sixty percent, expecting 128 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 2: to lift prices in the next three months. So all 129 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 2: signs point towards growth down, inflation up. Simon bridges with 130 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 2: us all come, Business Chamber CEO Morning Simon, Hey, morning Ryan. Yeah, 131 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 2: not great? Is it? 132 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 9: No? Not good? Not great? But I suppose not surprising. 133 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 9: I mean, I suppose that the thing is this. It's 134 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 9: no one in New Zealand's fault, right, what has happened 135 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 9: in the Middle East and. 136 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 2: More broadly, But. 137 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 9: It is incredibly frustrating and it's a sense of deja vu. 138 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 9: You know, here we go again, because you know, what 139 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 9: we're seeing is what we sort of saw, even albeit 140 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 9: probably worse, potentially significantly worse than last year, right where 141 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 9: we had this nascent recovery. Things felt like they're going okay, 142 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 9: and then we had Liberation Day and Trump tariffs and 143 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 9: that not the stuffing out of the economy, and this 144 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 9: time around actually we had it was actually it wasn't perfect. 145 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 9: You could talk to different businesses and get different view 146 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 9: and different circumstances. But studs, yeah, actually things were slowly 147 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,679 Speaker 9: surely a bit of a sort of a tortoise raised 148 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 9: on a ear race getting getting better, but then the 149 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 9: war and I think, you know, look what I'm hearing 150 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 9: and seeing backs up the survey. And remember actually this 151 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 9: survey was in the very early days of the war, 152 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 9: so I think, you know, we'd say the numbers would 153 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 9: be rather worse as things kind of lock at a 154 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 9: bit more now. But what I'm seeing is hotels, for example, 155 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 9: a couple of hotels telling me they had their best 156 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 9: month ever in February. Well, you know, that's that's that's 157 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 9: not going to continue. I wouldn't have wouldn't have thought, 158 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 9: and and you know, other sectors as well, kind of 159 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 9: saying you know, actually we're feeling a fair bit better. 160 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 9: We could see numbers going in the right direction, but 161 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 9: you know, discretionary spending, it seems again anecdot totally right now, 162 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 9: going back in people's pockets as they say, well, we 163 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 9: don't know what's going to happen in decision making deferred 164 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 9: across both you know, consumers and businesses at a at 165 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 9: a level. So yeah, it's not good, not surprising, very frustrating, 166 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 9: deja va and inducing. 167 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 2: What do we do to make sure because there's going 168 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: to be more shocks like this in the years to come. 169 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 2: We've had two now in the space of well, what 170 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 2: we had the tariffs last year, we've got the oil 171 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 2: this year, we had COVID not long ago. You know, 172 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 2: long term, what do we need to do because we 173 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 2: need trade, we need an open world, we need globalization. 174 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 2: But then at the same time it bites in the ass. 175 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 9: Well, you know, I wish I had good advice. I mean, 176 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 9: it all gets a bit trite, isn't it. But I 177 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 9: think in the end it is a little bit of 178 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 9: to kind of keep calm and carry on. I'm not 179 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 9: saying people should be reckless and you know, do big, big, 180 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 9: bold things they kind of you know, weren't sure about 181 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 9: in any events. But I do think we control the 182 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 9: things we control. We keep moving, you know. I think 183 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 9: at levels, you know, you can, you know, you get 184 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 9: into twenty seven, twenty eight, we can look beyond this 185 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 9: and look past us at some levels. And you know, 186 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,319 Speaker 9: we see that from our Reserve Bank governor. I think 187 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 9: she looks to be taking precisely the right approach actually, 188 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 9: which is not knee jerk, not kind of jumping around. 189 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 9: I hope we see that from the government's level. I 190 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 9: don't think it's time to kind of slash and burn 191 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 9: or decide to do things you know that are radically 192 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 9: different from what they've what they've been doing. 193 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 2: So Imon appreciate your time this morning. Simon Bridges, Aukland 194 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 2: Business Chamber of CEO. It's eighteen after five. We'll talk 195 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 2: about that housing number in Auckland whether it actually matters. 196 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: Next, Views and Views you Trust to start your day. 197 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: It's early edition with Bryan Bridge and one Rooge Love 198 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: Where you Live, News. 199 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 2: Talks adb by twenty right. We've done the doom and gloom. 200 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 2: Let's do the good news. The four point two billion 201 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 2: dollar sale of the mainland brands to Luck. The lease 202 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 2: the French has now been settled, so that means the 203 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 2: money is coming to your bank accounts if you're a 204 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 2: dairy farmer three point two billion, because I remember they're 205 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 2: holding a billion back three point two billion and payouts 206 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 2: will come in the next fortnight. Congratulations, well earned, well done. 207 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 2: By the way, Westpac has also increased their current payout 208 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 2: forecast for the season to nine eighty and that is 209 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 2: more than fon Terror's interim forecast. It's also above at 210 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 2: the moment all other main dairy analysts. Bridge Government's reducing 211 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 2: the housing density plan yet again. First they said two 212 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 2: million new homes in Auckland, then lowered that to one 213 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,319 Speaker 2: point six. Now Bishop says one point four. Richard Hill's 214 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 2: Auckland City councilor hey, Richard, how are you cured it? 215 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 5: How's it going good? 216 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 2: Does it actually matter this number? Does it actually mean anything? 217 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 5: I mean, the overall number, no matter what it is, 218 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 5: is a capacity target. So it's if every single person 219 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 5: develops their property to the fullest height and size possible, 220 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 5: like everyone, So kind of it's not It's always been 221 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,719 Speaker 5: a theoretical figure anyway. But the one point four was 222 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 5: a surprise. I think the day before we were expecting 223 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 5: one point six, as we we've been working on the 224 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 5: last six weeks, and then it changed to one point four. 225 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 5: But here's the complicated bit that everyone won't understand. But 226 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 5: the National Policy Statement for Urban Development, which is a 227 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 5: legal requirement and that's the apps earning around stations and 228 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 5: town centers and all that sort of thing, will require 229 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 5: us to get to about one point six anyway, So 230 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 5: the one point four is really a moot point because 231 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 5: to do all the things that we legally have to 232 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 5: do across the city it gets us to about one 233 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 5: point six. We're just slightly under. 234 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 2: So ins at the one point foward doesn't mean much. 235 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 2: Let's not read too much into it. 236 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 5: What was just politics? 237 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 2: I think where yeah, where does the does it change 238 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 2: where you zone where you allow high rises to go? 239 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 5: The number that changed? Not really, it means that we're not, 240 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 5: you know, I guess pushing to put it that little 241 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 5: bit further, maybe with a bit of additional height around 242 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 5: the place, but really we're still going to be zoning. 243 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 10: You know. 244 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 5: Where this came from was that that mdrs three stories 245 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 5: on every single property. We've already moved to a situation 246 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 5: where it makes a bit more sense around where infrastructure 247 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 5: is and where jobs are and things like that. This again, 248 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 5: we asked for the flexibility, but we didn't ask for 249 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 5: a solid number. But now now it's largely the same 250 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 5: as it was a couple of days ago, because because 251 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 5: we have to get to around one point six anyway. 252 00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 2: Right, okay, sounds like a bit of a waste of time. 253 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 2: Is do you have maps? David Seamore says, you guys 254 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 2: have got maps? Have you been shown any maps of 255 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 2: where the houses will actually end up? 256 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 5: So we don't This is the confusion as well. There's 257 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 5: never a system where we just put in a number 258 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 5: and then a map spits out the other end. The 259 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 5: way it works is we put all the different controls in, 260 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,959 Speaker 5: so you know, six stories around centers and ten stories 261 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 5: around translations, and move it around here, etc. And then 262 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 5: you put all that data into the system and all 263 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 5: the controls change the shape of the map. We haven't 264 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 5: done that work. I've been working six weeks with councilors 265 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 5: everyone to get them to understand the one point six 266 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 5: and say here are the options how you could do it, 267 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 5: where you might remove it from. Then it has to 268 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 5: go into like a whole modeling system because every part 269 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 5: of the city is different. So some areas have sections 270 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 5: that are like six hundred square meters and then other 271 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 5: parts of the city about eight or nine hundred. So 272 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 5: every time you move some of the zoning, then that 273 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 5: means something quite different in each part of the city. 274 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 5: So it's not just as simple as clicking a switch 275 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 5: or pressing a button as some people think, which changes 276 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 5: the maps. So there's no map, there's no magical maps 277 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 5: that we've got anywhere. 278 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 2: Richard Hell's all can council I appreciate your time.

I witnessed warriors, 285 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 2: a brotherhood of men and women, warriors all God, how like, 286 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 2: how much bravado can you get out of one man? 287 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 2: By the way, the name of their operation Epic Fury. 288 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 2: And then they had the bombers going after four dough 289 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 2: that was Midnight Hammer. And yesterday I was reading about 290 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 2: the operation against the Hoothies. And last year five that 291 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 2: was Operation rough Rider. All very cowboy, isn't it.

Government comes in and says, pack your lunch, 296 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 2: go back to work. Problems. It's not happening. As you'll 297 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 2: know from listening to this show, ACC is already staged 298 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 2: to back down on that. Now MB is doing the same, 299 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 2: and to her credit Flirfitt Simon's the PSA union has 300 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 2: lawyered up and successfully argued the workers collective contracts allowed 301 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 2: them to work from home, so they should keep it. 302 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 2: Now the policy to restrict working from home is heading 303 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 2: for the bin. According to MB, some ACC staff only 304 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 2: have to be in the office two days a week, 305 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 2: the equivalent of a weekend at the office. Days off 306 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 2: or at home are usually Fridays and Mondays. Quite convenient 307 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 2: for them, isn't it. This is all in spite of 308 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 2: the fact that management at ACC said staff are less 309 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 2: reductive and it's a culture killer. Now, I don't blame 310 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 2: the workers here, all the union. They're exercising their rights. 311 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 2: They won at fair and square. They didn't even have 312 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 2: to get to the Employment Relations Authority, So good on them. 313 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 2: But for anyone who runs a business in the private 314 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 2: sector or works in one, this sort of stuff makes 315 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 2: your blood boil, doesn't it. If it's good enough for us, 316 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 2: why not them? Do they really work as much or 317 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 2: efficiently at home? And why was this cause written into 318 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 2: their collective contracts in the first place. Surely once they expire, 319 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 2: the next offer of work might just require workers to 320 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 2: actually turn up for work.

Everything Australia does, 442 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 2: we do the opposite. Happened with the fuel excise. We're 443 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 2: not cutting that, they'll be cutting that.

They're getting rid of them. 446 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 2: They are banning surcharges. They're also lowering the caps on 447 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 2: interchange fees, which is the other bug bear. So they're 448 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 2: doing this and it will save they reckon customers and 449 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 2: businesses about one point eight billion dollars each year.

That would tend to suggest we're about 500 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 10: to see America basically pull out of the action that 501 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 10: they've started and potentially just say about the straight of 502 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 10: horror moves, well, we don't use it, so you're going 503 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 10: to have to do something with it yourself. 504 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, get your own oil how he put it. Hey, 505 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 2: what's happened? That's fasciaying because we have problems with rhyming 506 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,199 Speaker 2: strade dogs doing terrible damage to humans here in New Zealand. 507 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 2: What's the gail sentence for this guy whose dog attected 508 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 2: as his mother in law? 509 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 10: Yeah, this is a really sad case. So a man 510 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 10: has been jailed for ten years and three months. We 511 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 10: need exl bully dog, which is this type of attack 512 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 10: dog mauled his mother in law to death. Now, The 513 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 10: court heard that the pet, named Bear had not been 514 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 10: walked in the four weeks before the attack. The sixty 515 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 10: eight year old mother in law was looking after two 516 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 10: adult dogs, eight puppies and a child while her son 517 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 10: in law, Warren, an amateur rapper who was thirty four 518 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 10: years sorry forty one years, was filming a music video 519 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 10: in London. The court heard that he was the first 520 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 10: person to be charged with excel bully offenses after new 521 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 10: laws came into force. The grand that the mother in 522 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 10: law was just one point six meters tall and had 523 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 10: restricted movement due to her hip replacement, arthritis and a limp. 524 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 10: The court also heard that the owner had tried to 525 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 10: take them out for a walk and would admitted in 526 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 10: one message that quote, the animals are too much for me. Well, 527 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 10: there was certainly too much for the grandma, the mother 528 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 10: in law, who apparently just tried to break them up 529 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 10: with a broom and that's when it's thought the dog's attack. 530 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 10: So big legislation coming into an action. But it's taken 531 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 10: some two years to get this farther court. 532 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, we need to do the same ten years. Sounds 533 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 2: like about right. Appreciate your time this morning, Gavin Gray 534 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 2: are UK. You're corresponding to eleven away from six Bryan B. Winston, 535 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 2: Peter's Foreign Affairs heading to the Cooks this week for 536 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 2: the first time since twenty twenty four, hoping to get 537 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,439 Speaker 2: their Prime Minister Mark Brown back on our side. They 538 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 2: met at Winston's house for a cup of tea a 539 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 2: few weeks back. Phil GoF, former Foreign Affairs Minister with 540 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 2: us this morning. Feel good morning, Yeah, good morning Ryan. 541 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 2: So what should be the goal here? 542 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:37,919 Speaker 15: Well, I think the goal will be to try to 543 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 15: get the relationship to back on track. It shouldn't be 544 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 15: too hard. Supposedly, this is a country of seventeen thousand people. 545 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 15: They have ninety four thousand compatriots, people of Cook Island 546 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 15: descent living in New Zealand. They get nearly half of 547 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 15: their aid from New Zealand and they carry a New 548 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 15: Zealand passport. 549 00:28:58,320 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: Now, you know, I. 550 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 15: Think the Cooks are at fault and the problem that 551 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 15: occurred over the strategic partnership with China. They were bound 552 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 15: under a two thousand and one agreement to give due 553 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 15: notice to New Zealand and consult on it. What's their status. 554 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 5: They're a self. 555 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 15: Government country and free association with New Zealand. That means 556 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 15: that they do their own thing except in areas like 557 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 15: defense and foreign affairs. And I think that the danger 558 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 15: is that a micro state like the Cooks a very 559 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 15: small country, they can get seduced by any scamster or 560 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 15: any country that comes along. And that's the challenge that 561 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 15: New Zealand has long had with the Cook Islands. But 562 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 15: we all wondered whether you know, with a breakdown of 563 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 15: the relationship, whether Winston Peter's had a Plan B. 564 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 5: I think the Plan B. 565 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 15: Will be to rely on the fact that Mark Brown 566 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 15: is going to election this November and it's really unpopular 567 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 15: in the Cook Islands to think that they might lose 568 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 15: their access to the New Zealand passport, one of their 569 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 15: most prized possessions. So Peters should have the cards on 570 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 15: this one. 571 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 2: Plus, there is the issue of the funding that's been 572 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 2: cut right that we're kind of turning the tap off. Yeah. 573 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 15: Here Supposedly we give the Cooks in total about two 574 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 15: hundred million over three years and Peters has cut that 575 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 15: by thirty million, and he's cut it selectively to areas 576 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 15: that will influence the running of government rather than the 577 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 15: provision of things like health and education. 578 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 5: You know. 579 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 15: The difficulty is, of course, if you're competing with China. 580 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 15: China's vastly bigger, vastly more resources in New Zealand. They 581 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 15: could come along and outbud New Zealand anytime. But do 582 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 15: Cook Islanders really want to have their primary relationship with 583 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 15: China rather than the country that they have blood ties with, 584 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 15: that they have so much in common with. And the 585 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 15: answer is Most Cook Islanders really value the opportunity to 586 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 15: be able to live in the Cooks but come to 587 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,479 Speaker 15: New Zealand visit family in New Zealand when they want to. 588 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 15: The Trump card is always well, you can say to 589 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 15: the Cook Islands it look, you can be an independent 590 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 15: country if you like. That's your sovereign right. You do 591 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 15: it by referendum. But by the way, if you do that, 592 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 15: of course you won't have a New Zealand passport, which 593 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 15: is totally appropriate. So the Trump card is held by Peters. 594 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 15: Hopefully there'll be an improvement in the relationship. It's stagnated 595 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 15: for really rather too long. 596 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 2: Bill GoF, former Foreign Affairs Minister, appreciate your time this morning. 597 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 2: Eight to six News Talks hedb Mike next. 598 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the day Early 599 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and One Route Love Where you 600 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 1: Live News Talks. 601 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 2: He'd be six to six News Talks. He'd be Ryan 602 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 2: on working from home. Let's see how the bureaucrats like 603 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 2: it when they get robbed or beaten up in their 604 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 2: local policeman decides that he's going to work from home today, 605 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Having a heart attack. Doctors and 606 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 2: nurses working from home. Sorry. Lance is having none of it. 607 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 2: This morning, Mike, Good morning morning. Did you see that 608 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 2: decision from well, not even yeah, it's not a decision. 609 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 16: They back down. But to be fair, I don't know 610 00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 16: the problem is the collective contract. 611 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 2: Yes, can't argue with the contracts. The deal is a 612 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 2: deal and the union's just doing what a union does. 613 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 16: And so I think they'll wait till the end of 614 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 16: the collective contract and that this lot is still in power, 615 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 16: then they'll say there's no more. It's the same goes 616 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 16: with the morrification of all the various departments and stuff 617 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 16: like that. You know, it's all in the collective contract. 618 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 16: We talked to the Trade minister this morning. He was 619 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 16: he wanted them. We wanted him yesterday with the FTA thing, 620 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 16: but he was on his way back from Cameroon. I'm 621 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 16: not sure. I'm not sure where you go? Where would 622 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 16: you go through? Probably Singapore? I guess Cameroon to Singapore. 623 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 16: Is there were a linked there. 624 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 2: But so he why did it take him a month 625 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 2: to write back to Chippy. That's what I want to know. 626 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 16: That's what I want to find out. What I want 627 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 16: to find out is, first of all, we don't see 628 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 16: the text. Second of all the problems they see, I 629 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 16: don't even know what the problems are that Labor's got. 630 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 2: At the moment, visas and when you have a student visas. 631 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 16: So that's the New Zealand first problem as well, whether 632 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 16: they're going to keep going. You know, what are they 633 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 16: going to do about it? I mean, this is like 634 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 16: a major, major deal. 635 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 2: Then, and the question is whether you just go ahead 636 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 2: and say sign it, even if you haven't got Parliament 637 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 2: on board, and hope that labor falls into which they 638 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 2: shouldn't do. They would have to. 639 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 16: Well, they did China and therection architects of all that 640 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 16: sort of stuff. So anyway, we've got that on the program. 641 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 16: And Chris, the Chris Buship thing. I know, no one 642 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 16: in the rest of the country gives a monkey no 643 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 16: because no one cares. But how is it a guy 644 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 16: not even Auckland is here. Yeah, exactly, because I don't 645 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 16: think it's going to happen. But I mean, how's it 646 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 16: a guy who's so good at what he does generally 647 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 16: has balls this up so spectacularly and can't see what 648 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 16: a mess he's making of. 649 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 2: It because he's from the heart. 650 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 16: Do you think that's what it is. 651 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 2: I think it is. You don't get soet here, you 652 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 2: don't get well. 653 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 16: When you say sensitive.
