1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Impressing the newsweekers to get the real story. Here's Jack 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: team on hither duper c Ellen Drive with one New 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: Zealand coverage like no one else Newstalks. 4 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 2: EDB Kyoda, Good afternoon, Welcome to Newstalks Edb. Here there 5 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 2: has one more day, one more afternoon off. How long 6 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 2: has this holiday been? For goodness sake? Six weeks? Seven 7 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 2: weeks is and I'll tell you what you better not 8 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 2: start off tomorrow by whifing about retail shops not being 9 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 2: opened late enough for school holidays being too long. A 10 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 2: big show for you. This afternoon, right after five o'clock, 11 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 2: we're going to speak with Local EWE at Mount Monganui. 12 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 2: They have been meeting this afternoon to try and work 13 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 2: out a kind of framework for the next couple of 14 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 2: weeks and months. Some of the local EWI in Bay 15 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 2: of Plenty actually want to see the mount closed permanently, 16 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 2: so we're going to catch up with Local EWE and 17 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 2: see what has been agreed at their meeting this afternoon. 18 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 2: As well as that New Zealand Rugby CEO Steve Lancaster 19 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 2: will explain why New Zealand Rugby has tightened the criteria 20 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 2: for Scott Robertson's replacement, and the first cabinet meeting of 21 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six is about to kick off, so we'll 22 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 2: get the inside word shortly. Right now, it is eight 23 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 2: minutes past four zedby Well, the clock is ticking for 24 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 2: New Zealand Rugby as the decision makers who ultimately decided 25 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 2: Raiser had to go work down a work to nail 26 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 2: down his replacement. So confirmation today of the process. Right, 27 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 2: the next coach has to be a New Zealander and 28 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 2: a very specific requirement. The new coach will have to 29 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 2: have experience as an international head coach, which is a 30 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 2: first for the All Blacks job. Now, I didn't actually 31 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 2: realize it until this week that Scott Robertson did actually 32 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 2: have a stint as the coach of Brazil's national rugby team. 33 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 2: One would imagine that David Kirk in the selection panel 34 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 2: are hoping for experience with a slightly more established international team. 35 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: But although they say they are casting the net far 36 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 2: and wide, realistically, narrowing the criteria has significantly reduced the 37 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 2: viable options. And that's not a bad thing. It makes 38 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 2: sense because Kirk, Kevin Milamu and the appointment board need 39 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 2: to move quickly. The next Men's World Cup kicks off 40 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 2: in twenty months October next year. But perhaps even more 41 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 2: pressing is the start of Super Rugby Round one is 42 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: in just over a fortnight, and in order to prepare 43 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 2: for the July Tests, the new head coach needs to 44 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: be in place as early as possible during the Super 45 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 2: Rugby season. And of course, if it's Jamie Joseph who 46 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 2: does get the gig, you would hope that the Highlanders 47 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 2: are given as much support as possible in transitioning to 48 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 2: a new coaching setup mid season. So what are the options? 49 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 2: As I say, by introducing this criteria, they have narrowed 50 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 2: the potential pool, and otherwise the options are narrowing by 51 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 2: the day. Tony Brown has made it pretty clear costing 52 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 2: he won't be chasing the gig right now, and the 53 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 2: Sydney Morning Herald reports today that Joe Schmidt won't be 54 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 2: leaving Australia mid Rugby World Cup cycle. So if neither 55 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 2: of those two budge in considering New Zealand Rugby's prerequisites 56 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 2: and considering the time frame pressures they face and making 57 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 2: a decision and getting a coach in place and established, 58 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,399 Speaker 2: there are no more than maybe half a dozen who 59 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 2: could theoretically be in the role. And for my money, 60 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 2: it's come down to a two horse race. Jamie Joseph 61 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 2: or Dave. 62 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 3: Rennick Keller due for see Allen. 63 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 2: Ninety two ninety two is the text number ninety two 64 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 2: ninety two. If you want to send us some message 65 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 2: this afternoon, don't forget the standard text costs applayer. You 66 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 2: can email me as well. Jack at newstalk SDB dot 67 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 2: co dot nz. It's ten past four. Work Safe has 68 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 2: announced an investigation into the Mount Monganui landslide. They're going 69 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 2: to be looking into the organizations that had a duty 70 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 2: of care for the guests at holiday at the holiday 71 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 2: park and whether or not they met their health and 72 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 2: safety responsibilities. Despite reports of slips from five o'clock in 73 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 2: the morning and an early morning call to one one 74 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 2: one warning of landslides, the holiday park and hot pools 75 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 2: at the base of the mountain were not evacuated on time. 76 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 2: Mike Cosin from the New Zealand Institute of Safety Management 77 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 2: is whetherus this afternoon, giddo, Mike, good day Jack. So 78 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 2: what questions will work safe actually be attempting to answer here? 79 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 3: So look, Jack. 80 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 4: Obviously, the first thing to acknowledge is is this is 81 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 4: a dreadful tragedy and it's still ongoing, and there are 82 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 4: you know, families who are still watching and waiting and 83 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 4: first responders who are still having to go through the 84 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 4: wreckage trying to recover those remains. So clearly they are 85 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 4: front and center in our thoughts. But I guess in 86 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 4: terms of the role of Work Safe, it's actually quite 87 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 4: complex in a case like this, dependent on a number 88 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 4: of factors as to whether the health and safety workout 89 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 4: actually applies, who it applies to, and then obviously, if 90 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 4: it does apply, whether there is any evidence to suggest 91 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 4: that anybody has failed to meet a duty. But I think, 92 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 4: without sort of getting too technical about it, it's important 93 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 4: to know that Health and Safety at Work Act is 94 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 4: about work right, and it's primarily about protecting workers and 95 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 4: others from risks that arise from work. It's not general 96 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 4: public safety legislation, and so that will be I think 97 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 4: at the heart of Work Safe's initial inquiries, which is 98 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 4: to find out, you know, was there a workplace, were 99 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 4: there workers, and what was the nature of the work 100 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 4: that was taking place, and how did that relate to 101 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 4: the circumstances that prevailed on that day. 102 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 2: Can you unpack bit distinction for us a bit more so, 103 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 2: to be totally clear, is what you're suggesting that work 104 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 2: Safe would only really be concerned if a potential landslide 105 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 2: impacted workers, i e. That there were campground or hotpol's 106 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 2: workers in the vicinity of potential landslides, rather than simply 107 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 2: holiday ground you know, holiday makers who'd set up their 108 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 2: teams or caravans. 109 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 4: Yes, so this is where it gets quite quite complicated, 110 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 4: because running any kind of business or activity where you're 111 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 4: charging people for services, such as a campground, does make 112 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 4: you what we describe as a PCBU, a person conducting 113 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 4: a business or undertaking, and you will normally have duties 114 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 4: under the Act, but the extent of those duties will 115 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 4: be determined by the scope of the legislation. And as 116 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 4: I say, that's risks to workers and others arising from work. 117 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 4: So had somebody been who was a worker for the 118 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 4: campground been doing something which precipitated the slip, then clearly 119 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 4: you would say there would have a duty. But failing 120 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 4: to respond to calls that made at you know, five 121 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,799 Speaker 4: point thirty in the morning, yes, you could say that 122 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 4: the person at the call center who took the call 123 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 4: on behalf of council was a worker. But then the 124 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 4: question would be was their response or lack of response 125 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 4: or whatever it may be, was that something which was 126 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 4: material in relation to what transpired. So it's complicated, and 127 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 4: I think if I read WorkSafe's press release correctly, what 128 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 4: they're saying is they're going to make initial inquiries before 129 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 4: deciding whether to launch a full scale, you know, investigation 130 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 4: using their various powers. 131 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 2: Would there be other criminal grounds for an investigation or 132 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 2: indeed a prosecution if work Safe determines that this didn't 133 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 2: result from an act of work as such. 134 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 4: So this is where it gets it gets interesting because, 135 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 4: as you'll be aware, right back to the Canterbury earthquake 136 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 4: and the CCTV building, Pike River and others, there's been 137 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 4: calls for corporate manslaughter offenses. We currently have corporate manslaughter, 138 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 4: we have individual manslaughter. But you know that then is 139 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:18,119 Speaker 4: a question for the police to investigate to determine whether 140 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 4: there was gross negligence on the part of anybody that 141 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 4: could have given rise to an offense of manslaughter. I 142 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 4: think what we're going to see in the next few 143 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 4: days and weeks is there's going to be a lot 144 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 4: of investigations going on, so the police will be investigating 145 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 4: on behalf of the coroner, and you know, they could 146 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 4: potentially decide to investigate in their own right. We've heard 147 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 4: that Tarna City Council having their own independent investigation Work 148 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 4: Safe and Now said their investigation no doubt fends NIEMA, 149 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 4: you know a whole lot of others. And one of 150 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 4: my concerns here is that when you've got multiple simultaneous 151 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 4: investigation going on, witnesses, FARO first responders having to retell 152 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 4: their stories multiple times to multiple different agencies can be 153 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 4: incredibly traumatic because each time they're having to retell the 154 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 4: story brings back memories and personally, I would favor one 155 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 4: investigation that covers all of the ground rather than having 156 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 4: multiple ones looking at it from different angles but basically 157 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 4: talking to the same people about the same issues. 158 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 3: Yeah. 159 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 2: Right, that's a very interesting point. Thanks Mike, We appreciate 160 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 2: your time. Mike Cosmon from the New Zealand Institute of 161 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 2: Safety Management, sixteen past four. 162 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: It's the Hithertopus See Alan Drive Full Show podcast on 163 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio powered by News Talk. 164 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 2: Ziby nineteen past four you reject aim on News talks, 165 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 2: he'd be the government needs to show leadership and initiate 166 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 2: an inquiry here. Total on accountsil will be out of 167 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 2: its deep. And it's a very interesting point Mike just 168 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 2: raised about having a single coordinated broad breadth inquiry, right, 169 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 2: because there are going to be all of these different 170 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 2: organizations with different concerns, but actually perhaps having an overarching 171 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 2: one might be the approach. Ninety two ninety two is 172 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 2: our feedback number if you want to fi because of 173 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 2: Texas afternoon Jacket News still said B dot co dot NZ. 174 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 2: I'll get to more of your feedback in a couple 175 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 2: of minutes. So New Zealand Rugby has confirmed a process 176 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,719 Speaker 2: or some prerequisites for the new for the next All 177 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 2: Backs coach. The new All Backs coach, Jason Pine is 178 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 2: with us this afternoon. He's been going through the detail. 179 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 2: He's on Sports Talk tonight. Get a Piney. What do 180 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 2: you make of Jack? 181 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 5: You've got to be a key weed and you've got 182 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 5: to have international experience. Yeah, certainly narrows the field, as 183 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 5: you've said, Jack, doesn't it? And and look, I think 184 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 5: Steve Lancaster would admit that. He'll probably tell you this 185 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 5: after five that this isn't This doesn't mean that you 186 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 5: can't be the All Blacks coach at any time in 187 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 5: the future if you haven't coached internationally. It's just you know, 188 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 5: needs muster at the moment where what as you said, 189 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 5: twenty months out from a World Cup without any international experience, 190 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 5: that would be. 191 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 2: A big risk. 192 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 5: So, as I say it, narrow is it down? Then 193 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 5: you take out anybody who's not a KeyWe your land 194 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 5: on Jamie Joseph and Dave Rennie as the two standout candidates. 195 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 5: Joe schm would have been, but by the sounds of it, 196 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,239 Speaker 5: he's ruled himself out. There are others, the likes of Ferncotta, 197 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 5: Warren Gatland. I guess John Mitchell, who's done the job 198 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 5: before and has had good success with the England women team, 199 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 5: might be in there. Or a couple of real outside 200 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 5: the box suggestions. What about going back to the future 201 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 5: with Steve Hanson Organ Foster. Can they or they come 202 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 5: out of their Japanese coaching gigs to come down and 203 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 5: coach the All Blacks. 204 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 2: I don't know. 205 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 5: I doubt it, but I guess they fit the criteria. 206 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually think it makes sense. Given the given 207 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 2: the time frames that they're dealing with here, because they 208 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 2: really need to have a coach in place during the 209 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 2: Super Rugby season as soon as possible given those time 210 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 2: time frame pressures, I think actually narrowing the field just 211 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 2: a little bit it makes a whole lot of sense. 212 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,239 Speaker 2: So they're not getting three thousand cvs, you know, absolutely, 213 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 2: I know that's right. 214 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, the short list will probably be everybody who applies. 215 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 5: You know, they will, as I say, narrow it down, 216 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 5: they'll go through the process. Time is of the essence. Really, 217 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 5: they got to get somebody in place, and if it 218 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 5: is to be Jamie Joseph, then yeah, the Highlanders have 219 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 5: to do a bit of re jinking around their coaching 220 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 5: team as well, so that all has to be taken 221 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 5: into account. We wait to see who washes up at 222 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 5: the end of it. So aukandf C were dominant on 223 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 5: Saturday night until the last couple of minutes when keeper 224 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 5: Michael Wood had an absolute howl or is it time 225 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 5: they got a new keeper? This is a huge decision 226 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 5: for Steve Coricker, a massive and probably the biggest decision 227 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 5: he's had to make as a coach in terms of selection. Yeah, 228 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 5: it was a howler and for the second time in 229 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 5: two weeks, Michael Valder has been involved in an incidence 230 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 5: where goals have been scored and he was well this one. 231 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 5: He was totally at fault the previous week, partially at fault. 232 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 5: They've got Olie's Sale as as a backup. It's a 233 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 5: pretty it's a pretty personal decision though. When you drop 234 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 5: the goalkeeper's not they can get a couple of minutes 235 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 5: off the bench in the next game, you know you're 236 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 5: really consigning them to a bench role for the rest 237 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 5: of the season. And that's where Michael vaud sat for 238 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 5: the entirety of last season when Alex Paulsen was the goalkeeper. 239 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 5: I think he'll make the change. I honestly think Steve 240 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 5: Coricker will make the change. I think you'll see Oli 241 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 5: Sale there against Perth on Saturday night. 242 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 2: And if he makes the change, is that it? Because 243 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 2: I can just imagine from the mental component here for 244 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 2: Michael Wall must just be devastating if you make a 245 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 2: couple of errors like that. Howlers and all keepers have them, 246 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 2: but then you're dropped as a result. It must be 247 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 2: so difficult to get yourself back in a headspace where 248 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 2: you can compete at the top. 249 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 5: Level, absolutely, and your mistakes are magnified, aren't they. You know, 250 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 5: a player can tread on the ball out in the 251 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 5: field and it doesn't actually matter. But to make a 252 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 5: mistake as a goalkeeper and often a goal results, yes, 253 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 5: a huge test of his resilience and his character. But 254 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 5: this is top level sport, Jack, and sometimes you have 255 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 5: to be a bit ruthless. 256 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 2: Appreciate your time, Piney. Jason Pine will be with us 257 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 2: for Sports Talk seven o'clock this evening on News Talks. 258 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 2: He'd be Jack. We need Joshmitt, we need him. He's 259 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 2: got by far the best records his Bill, taking Ireland 260 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 2: to the top, dragging Australia back into contention. Surely his 261 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 2: Wallabye replacement can step up a couple of months early. Yeah, 262 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 2: I appreciate that, Bill Day. We haven't had confirmation from 263 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 2: New Zealand Rugby when it comes to Joshmitt just yet, 264 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 2: and they're being pretty careful about what they say about 265 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: individuals given an employment processes underway. Blah blah blah blah blah. 266 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 2: But the Sydney Morning Herald is reporting today that Joe 267 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 2: Schmitt has ruled himself out, so that narrows the pool 268 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 2: once again. Twenty three past four. 269 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: Digging deeper into the day's headlines, it's Jack team on 270 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: hither dupless Ellen Drive with one New Zealand coverage like 271 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: no one else news talks. 272 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 2: They'd be twenty six past four on news talks, he'd be. 273 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 2: Mary sent me a note to say, Jack, the owners 274 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 2: of the mountain should be prosecuted, just like White Island, 275 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 2: just like the mind companies, the earthquake prone building owners. 276 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 2: As far as I'm concerned, well, it might be pretty 277 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 2: difficult under that work safe legislation. Certainly not. It's not 278 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 2: entirely clear at the moment, Mary, that WorkSafe would be 279 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 2: responsible for that. But obviously we're gonna have a lot 280 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 2: of inquiries and for now the focus is on the 281 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 2: immediate response we're gonna get. We're gonna have a chat 282 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 2: with the local ee wee after five o'clock. There've been 283 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 2: in a series of meetings and who he over the 284 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 2: last couple of days trying to work out what to 285 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 2: do with the mountain. Beyond that, whether or not the 286 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 2: mower should have it. Rahui. That lasts for a wee while. 287 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 2: So we're gonna get the very latest on that after 288 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 2: five o'clock few this evening. Regarding the Jack, is it 289 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 2: possible that Robbie Deans could get the call up? I've 290 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 2: had several texts. Gary flicked me a note to say 291 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 2: Robbie Deans is the man. He is, I believe, still 292 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 2: in Japan. He's the director of rugby for the Panasonic 293 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 2: on the the Saiitama Wild Nights formerly the Panasonic Wild Nights. 294 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 2: Easy to get confused on that front. I'm not sure 295 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 2: has been a wee while since Robbie's been in the 296 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 2: international right and he's coached and look, you know, yeah, 297 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 2: I mean look as a proud can tap I would 298 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 2: I would happily see him in the role. I don't 299 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 2: know that he's necessarily top of the list, but we 300 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 2: will wait and see and get a response on that. 301 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 2: Before five o'clock on Newstalks B, we will take you 302 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 2: to the US. 303 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: The day's newspeakers talk to Jack First, Jack Tame on 304 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: Hither duplessy Ellen Drive with One New Zealand and the 305 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: Power of Satellite Mobile news Talk, said B. 306 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 2: Twenty five to five on Newstalk's ed V, Jack Tame 307 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 2: in the hot seat today.

I'd say that we've almost 373 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,880 Speaker 9: become a little numb to the rallies. To be perfectly 374 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 9: blunt about it. Of course it'll make good pictures on 375 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 9: the television news tonight, but look at message is trying 376 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 9: to come across about unifying the country and we've been 377 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 9: through a pretty bruisy patch in these last couple of 378 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 9: months if you think back to what happened in Bondi. 379 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 10: Just before Christmas. 380 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 9: So that's the message from the Prime Minister about healing, 381 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 9: but you can't really create that on Australia Day anymore. 382 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 9: There hasn't been, to be perfectly honest with you, too 383 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 9: many issues. 384 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 2: Apart from the obvious. 385 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 9: And again, as I say, the pictures you'll see on 386 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 9: the television news tonight might paint a bit of a 387 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 9: different story. But you've got the political opportunists out today 388 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 9: like Pauline Hansen with the pro Australia Day rallies and 389 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 9: try to say she's all about Australian values and the 390 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 9: fact that she's surging in the polls obviously she's not 391 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 9: going to miss out on this opportunity and she was 392 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 9: given a rock Stars reception where she appeared earlier today. 393 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 9: Then as you've played that clip in the world wise, 394 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 9: there is certainly no reason to sell them right particularly 395 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 9: for the Indigenous Australians. So I don't think it has 396 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 9: quite had the same level of inflammatory, protesting language and 397 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 9: events today as we've sent in previous years. We're just 398 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 9: trying to ignore the day and get to tomorrow and 399 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,479 Speaker 9: carry on, which is really ultimately what we don't want 400 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 9: this day to be about. We want it to be 401 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 9: what it was, you know, the barbecues, the celebrations, the 402 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 9: fact we leave in a great place. 403 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean the thing is that, like history 404 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 2: contains multitude day and you sort of hope that that, 405 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 2: you know, maybe people are in a position where they 406 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 2: can acknowledge the terrible grievances of the past and also 407 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,479 Speaker 2: acknowledge the things that do make Australia great. I mean, 408 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 2: the thing we did in New Zealand, not to want 409 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 2: to let to you about it, is we've now gone 410 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 2: to just having two days. So we have White Tongue Day, 411 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 2: which is a day of protest for some people and 412 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 2: a day you know, of reflection. But we also have Matabiki, 413 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 2: which is a kind of a more of a celebratory, 414 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,880 Speaker 2: kind of unifying day for people, which also has really 415 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 2: significant Indigenous meaning in New Zealand. So I don't know. 416 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 2: Maybe not not to throw you too many suggestions only, 417 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 2: but next time you've got someone's ere, maybe you could 418 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 2: suggest a couple of days an extra holiday. No one's 419 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 2: going to argue about that. Now, the hunt continues, and 420 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 2: it's been going for some time now for an alleged 421 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 2: triple murderer. 422 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, indeed, and this is really horrible. 423 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 9: We're talking about Mount Hope, which many people have probably 424 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 9: never heard of before. But he is in the outback 425 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 9: of New South Wales. It's only got a population of sixteen. 426 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 9: And this search continues property the property at the moment 427 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 9: where there are lots of sheds, that's what's complicated. And 428 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 9: we're bringing in the bomb squad. We're bringing in very 429 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 9: tactical police officers to be searching for Julian Ingram. Now 430 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 9: he is of course accused of shooting dead he's heavily 431 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 9: pregnant former partner Sophie Quinn, her friend John Harris, and 432 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 9: then killing Sophie's aren't narrator Quinn. Now they are yet 433 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 9: to find the whereabouts here of Julian Ingram. But that 434 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 9: police operation continues, and as you say, it has been 435 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 9: going on for some time, and it is a delicate 436 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 9: police operation at the moment, but they do continue that 437 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 9: search and no doubt family members of the Queens that 438 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 9: are looking for some answers here and some sort of 439 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 9: justification about what exactly went down. 440 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a hideous story, isn't it. 441 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 11: Hey. 442 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. I have been loving the Australian Open, 443 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 2: as I do every year. Honestly, it might be my 444 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 2: favorite of the Major's. What I haven't been loving is 445 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 2: the number of people posting these kind of little smeary 446 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,360 Speaker 2: photos from the upper reaches of the Australian Open stands, 447 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 2: trying to imply that they're really you know, socially significant, 448 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 2: or they're in it he or she of the moment. 449 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 2: Are there too many influences that the Australian Open. 450 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 9: Well, this is what's frustrating fans. I haven't seen so 451 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 9: much interest in the cues at the Australian Open this year. 452 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 9: Some people claiming that the wait for about five hours 453 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 9: to get into the main arena to actually be able 454 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 9: to watch a little bit of tennis. 455 00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 2: So they're taking it out of the. 456 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 9: Face fact that the Australian Open organizers have decided to 457 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 9: deploy As you said, they're jack dozens and dozens of 458 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 9: influencers who are able to post a TikTok at Instagram 459 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 9: and the like. The fact that they were there, they 460 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 9: were at Center Court, and this is rubbing the noses 461 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 9: the wrong way of the thousands and thousands of fans 462 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 9: who not only are waiting in those cues but have 463 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 9: missed out on tickets. 464 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,439 Speaker 2: Isn't it just the way of the world though? 465 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 9: Now, I mean, if you're trying to look at trying 466 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 9: to appeal to a new audience or the next generation, 467 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,439 Speaker 9: you've got to pull these leads of social media. It's 468 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 9: the necessary evil unfortunately, So I don't know, I think, 469 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 9: you know, hats off to probably the Australian Open ultimately 470 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 9: to try and get as much coverage in as many 471 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 9: people interested as possible and get the Australian Open trending. 472 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 9: That's probably their goal for the KPIs and the communications director, 473 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 9: and he or she's probably succeeding. 474 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, the mere fact that they're popping up on 475 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 2: my feed would suggest that, Yeah, from a marketing perspective, 476 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 2: they're probably doing a run. I'm just not sure that 477 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 2: it's necessarily aspirational. So are they actually are they giving 478 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 2: these people free tickets? Is that it are they? Are 479 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 2: they paying costs? Yeah? 480 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 9: Right, okay, well there is something yes, and some may 481 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 9: be paid for their posts maybe Jack. This is just 482 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 9: your way of trying to get some free tickets in 483 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 9: Australia next Year's on your social. 484 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 2: Media, Olie, you need a few more followers than I 485 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 2: can boast. I'm afraid, no, no, thank you very much, 486 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 2: but very much enjoying the competition. To appreciate your time 487 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 2: This afternoon, Olie Peterson from ABC Perth marking Australia Day 488 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 2: today and near some pretty pretty ugly scenes that have 489 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 2: become typical. It's interesting watching from a far when you 490 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 2: one step removed looking at looking at Australia Day every year, 491 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 2: it really does feel like that day has become more 492 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 2: and more contentious. Now, speaking of contentious, Winston Peters has 493 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 2: questioned the relevance of the WHO, so the US of 494 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 2: course is pulled out of the WHO pulled back its funding. 495 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 2: Says that basically the WHO is bloated. We're not getting 496 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 2: good value for money. They've become concerned with things that 497 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 2: shouldn't be a concern and Winston Peters has offered an 498 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 2: ear of support to that message. So we're going to 499 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 2: take a closer look at that after five o'clock this 500 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 2: morning and consider what it might mean for the government 501 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 2: at large to have a foreign minister taking that position. 502 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 2: In a couple of minutes, of course, the first Cabinet 503 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 2: meeting of twenty twenty six to kick off Parliament's first 504 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 2: day tomorrow sixteen to five on Newstalk's he'db. 505 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 3: Politics with Centric Credit, Check your customers and get payments. 506 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 2: Surtaday thirteen to five and senior political correspondent Azaria, How 507 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 2: is with us now, Gidde Azaria? Parliament is back tomorrow. 508 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,239 Speaker 2: Finally the weight is over. You must be chomping at 509 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 2: the bit. 510 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 12: The first time back since the summer break. It really 511 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 12: feels like school is back in session. To be honest, 512 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 12: I mean, let's go into what we're expecting. First of all, 513 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 12: a cabinet meeting. There's no post cabinet press conference today 514 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 12: because well there's no cabinet today. Cabinet is meeting tomorrow 515 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 12: because today is Auckland Anniversary Day and also because of 516 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 12: the Prime Minister Chris Luxon has been in communities impacted 517 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 12: by the severe weather events and landslips he's been speaking 518 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 12: to people on the ground and those who have lost loves, 519 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,239 Speaker 12: loved ones and on this. Just now we've heard from 520 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 12: Chris Hopkins who says he wants to see the terms 521 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 12: of reference on a potential inquiry. We're also expecting Labour's 522 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 12: caucus to meet as well. One of the first things 523 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 12: on the agenda is whether or not it will support 524 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 12: the Free Trade Agreement with India. This is significant because 525 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 12: New Zealand first has not supported that FTA, but ACT 526 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 12: and National are backing it. Just on this, Labor MP 527 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 12: Damien O'Connor has said there's been some speculation in the 528 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 12: Indian community that Labor has made a decision on whether 529 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 12: or not it should support the FTA. He says some 530 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 12: discussion has occurred, but no decision has been made. So 531 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 12: I'm sure there will be questions put to Labor MPs, 532 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 12: including Hipkins, about where the party stands. But also if 533 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 12: any MPs are split on that, does Labor support it 534 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 12: entirely oppose it entirely? Will there be some people who 535 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,360 Speaker 12: speak out one way or another, We have to wait 536 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 12: and see for that. We're also likely to see Parliament 537 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 12: move emotion to express its thanks to emergency services, and 538 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 12: to also commemorate those who have been lost in those 539 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 12: severe weather events that we've seen. It's also likely to 540 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 12: bring about a debate around climate action, particularly you'd expect 541 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 12: from parties like the Greens. But in a press conference 542 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 12: that kicked off about half past four, so really just 543 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 12: a few minutes ago, Labor Leader Chris Hopkins said that 544 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 12: the government has dragged its heels around climate change and resilience, 545 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 12: so it seems like that conversation is taking place. The 546 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,199 Speaker 12: first day back at Parliament will be a significant one. 547 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 12: Though we're officially in election year. We're excited to see 548 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 12: some more sort of politicking take place this year and 549 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 12: what happens tomorrow and across the week will really set 550 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 12: the scene for what we're expecting a White hongey, but 551 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 12: also maybe throughout the campaign in and of itself. 552 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 2: Winston Peters is questioning whether New Zealand should continue funding 553 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 2: the World Health Organization. 554 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean it all really kicked off after the 555 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 12: Trump administration announced the US had withdrawn from the WHO. 556 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 12: Winston Peter's posted on social media saying with the US 557 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 12: withdrawing its membership, it puts into question the current state 558 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 12: of the WHI it's effectiveness if our money is being 559 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 12: spent responsibly instead of here at home. And as MP's 560 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 12: returned to Parliament, as I've said, it's likely there'll be 561 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 12: questions to the PM, the Health Minister, potentially the act 562 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 12: Leader is part of the coalition to see where the 563 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 12: other parties in the coalition stand on the who. 564 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's interesting speaking as New Zealand First Leader rather 565 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 2: than Foreign Minister right on those comments, but yeah, interesting. 566 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 2: Interesting also to consider Winston Peter's response to Donald Trump's 567 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 2: comments regarding NATO troops in Afghanistan the other day. There 568 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 2: has been some criticism from former Foreign Minister Phil Goff, 569 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 2: who I think of course lost his nephew in Afghanistan, 570 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 2: about those comments and about the lack of response from 571 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 2: Winston Peters, and now MP's are weighing in as well. 572 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 10: Yeah. 573 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 12: So, American President Donald Trump recently said that troops from 574 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 12: NATO countries were not on the first line during the 575 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 12: war in Afghanistan other than the US, and it sparked 576 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:02,719 Speaker 12: significant backlash from across the globe. Australian Prime Minister Anthony 577 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 12: Alberanzi called it out, so did UK Prime Minister Kiirstarma. 578 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 12: In New Zealand, Associate Defense Minister Chris pank has said 579 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,479 Speaker 12: that he agrees with Judith Collins. We take great pride 580 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 12: in the professionalism, courage and commitment of all who served 581 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 12: in Afghanistan and indeed all of our ex service personnel. 582 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 12: Both say we continue to honor the memory of n 583 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 12: z DF personnel who lost their lives in Afghanistan. It 584 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 12: is though worth noting. Albanesi said Trump's comments were completely unacceptable, 585 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 12: Starma calling them frankly appalling. So there has been slightly 586 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 12: less strong language from the coalition here in New Zealand. 587 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 2: Now, if I'm not just referring to the exact words 588 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 2: that Trump used, he did refer to NATO tropes because 589 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 2: New Zealand is not part of NATO. 590 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 12: Yes, yes, that is correct. But there still has been 591 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 12: quite a lot of just backlash of course the globe 592 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 12: as you did, as you probably expect with something like this, 593 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 12: I mean, the U kay's backlash has been very significant. 594 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 12: I believe it was more than four hundred people died 595 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 12: in that. 596 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, thanks for your time, Asaria, and good luck tomorrow. 597 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 2: Asara how senior political correspondent, counting down the minutes to 598 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 2: the start of Parliament twenty six after five o'clock on 599 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 2: Newstalk said be the interim New Zealand Rugby CEO Steve 600 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 2: Lancaster is going to be with us in New Zealand 601 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 2: Rugby today, confirming a bit more of the process for 602 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 2: finding a new All Blacks coach. Two prerequisites. Number one 603 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 2: you've got to be in New Zealand. A number two 604 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 2: you have to have experience coaching an international team, international 605 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 2: as in a country's team, not as in an international 606 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 2: club team. So he's going to explain to us why 607 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 2: they have set that as the prerequisite and how they're 608 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 2: going to go about finalizing their selection panels. So as 609 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 2: well as having David Kirk and Kevin Milamou on the 610 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 2: selection panel, Steve Lancaster is looking to appoint a former 611 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 2: All Black, a recent former All Black onto the selection 612 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 2: panel to decide the new All Blacks coach. As far 613 00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 2: as I'm concerned, it narrows down the potential applicants quite magnificantly. 614 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 2: So he'll be with us after five. Right now, it 615 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 2: is seven minutes to five. 616 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: The headlines and the hard questions. It's the mic asking breakfast. 617 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 13: Tourism, good economic news, three point four eight million arrivals, 618 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 13: highest level since March of twenty twenty. Runt Webster is 619 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 13: the chief executive of Tourism Holdings Limited. 620 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 11: Do you see it? 621 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 14: Absolutely yeah, and I think there's more to come. January 622 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 14: February are going to be even better than what we've 623 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 14: just seen released for naviumbats. 624 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 13: So is your story this year? Are you still a 625 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 13: bit trend seasonal because the idea is that we're just 626 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 13: busy all year round. 627 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 14: I know we're very very seasonal, and I think that's 628 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 14: the next thing for us to continue to look at. 629 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 14: You know, funding, seasons and regions are the three things 630 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 14: that I would say the next big strategic things because 631 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 14: the whole comparison to pre COVID we're just about over that. 632 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 13: Back tomorrow at six am, the Mic Hosking Breakfast with 633 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 13: Maybe's Real Estate News Talk ZB coming. 634 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 2: Up to five o'clock on News Talk ZEDB. After five, 635 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 2: we're going to catch up with Phil Goff. He has 636 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 2: been really really critical of Winston Peter's response to Donald 637 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 2: Trump's comments regarding NATO. True, of course, Phil Gough was 638 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 2: fired by Winston Peters, so there is certainly a bit 639 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 2: of history there. But he's gonna talk to us a 640 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 2: bit about that after five o'clock. Thank you for your feedback. 641 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 2: Heaps and heaps of texts have come through regarding the 642 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 2: state of Mount Mongonui and trees that were or weren't 643 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 2: removed from from the mountain, whether or not that might 644 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 2: have contributed to an contributed to an unstable environment. So 645 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 2: the Prime Minister was asked about this today and he 646 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 2: was very very strong in his comments in that he said, 647 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 2: we need to hold off and wait. There is a 648 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 2: lot of misinformation about the state of the Monga and 649 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 2: what has or hasn't been done to secure some of 650 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 2: the land around Mount Monganui in the past, and it's 651 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 2: going to be the responsibility of the inquiry to try 652 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 2: and establish exactly what has or hasn't been done, Jack 653 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 2: says Bill. The nasty people are now all geotechnical experts 654 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 2: in hindsight and want of witch hunt. Regarding the mount landslide, 655 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 2: that campground and hillside have been stable for the many 656 00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 2: years that I've been going there and probably forever. This 657 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 2: is just a tragic accident. I mean, I don't think 658 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 2: it's been totally stable, Bill, but certainly the extent to 659 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 2: which there should have been a warning for this is 660 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 2: going to be subject to the inquiry and the priority 661 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 2: right now is the immediate response.

Some comatua have called for permanent closure 672 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 2: of the mountain, saying it needs to heal before it 673 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 2: can be used again.

Can you talk us 683 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 2: through this decision making process? 684 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,879 Speaker 10: Well, Mama was handed back to the EWI. There's another 685 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:31,280 Speaker 10: eween Vold which is Whitea as part of the treaty settlement, 686 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 10: and so that's when the trust was first established. And 687 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 10: it's well, while the mona is owned by the EUI, 688 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 10: it's a joint arrangement with the Tarnia City Council to 689 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 10: have it as a public reserve. And so there's a 690 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 10: joint committee between the Trust and all the other organizations 691 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 10: that have interests on the manga, and that's the body 692 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 10: which in the end makes decisions. But certainly the ewe 693 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:03,879 Speaker 10: voice is an important one. 694 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. And obviously the priority right now for 695 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 2: the EWI and for everyone involved is the immediate recovery 696 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 2: that I think we would all agree has to be 697 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 2: the priority at the stage. But as this protest process continues, 698 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 2: some e we have called for a permanent closure in 699 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 2: the past, so is that likely to be something that 700 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 2: will be considered? 701 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 10: Oh, I'm sure there'll be consideration, Yes it has. It 702 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 10: did come up in my time on the trust as well. 703 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 10: It's a difficult one. I mean, there's obviously a respect 704 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 10: for Rahu that should be placed on it now, which 705 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 10: is what's happening, and I just can't believe reports that 706 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 10: people are trying to get through the barriers for goodness sake. 707 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 10: But anyway, apart from that, yes, there needs to be 708 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 10: a rest, and I think during we should take advantage 709 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 10: of that time to have a proper review of the 710 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,879 Speaker 10: entire moment the track system, to see where likely has 711 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 10: it might be and to note those and put in place, 712 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 10: you know, actions that might prevent this from happening again 713 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 10: in the future. I'm pretty sure that's a very vital 714 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 10: exercise that needs to happen. We need to review, i 715 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 10: think our planting plan for the manga where we're gradually 716 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 10: working around to the eastern southeastern side of the Mona, 717 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 10: which is that's been kept clear in the past through 718 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 10: sheep grazing and that kind of thing. But probably the 719 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,320 Speaker 10: time has come to make sure that the manga is 720 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 10: probably quoted, I think as some people describe it with 721 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 10: native vegetation, and so that's an ongoing project as well. 722 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 10: So yeah, a number of things that could take place 723 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 10: during that pause in the in the use of the mona. 724 00:36:54,239 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 10: But you know, some being someone who's been the many, many, 725 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 10: many times, I wouldn't like to see other people denied 726 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 10: the opportunity to just view the bay appleaded from the 727 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 10: top of the moner going forward into the future. 728 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 2: Appreciate your time, Buddy, Thanks so much, Kelder. That is 729 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,839 Speaker 2: Buddy Machaidy, Nati Pookinger and Nati Rongy, Nui historian. It's 730 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 2: ten past five news talk z be Well, the search 731 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 2: is on to find the next All Blacks coach and 732 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 2: New Zealand Rugby has set up a five person panel 733 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 2: to shortlist and interview candidates. But here's the catch. They 734 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 2: are inviting only New Zealand coaches to apply. So you've 735 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,840 Speaker 2: got to be a Kiwi, you've got to have the passport, 736 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 2: and you have to have international coaching experience. Interim New 737 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,799 Speaker 2: Zealand Rugby Chief Executive Steve Lancaster is with us this evening. 738 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 2: Kelder Steve Jack, why does the coach have to be 739 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 2: a New Zealander. 740 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,879 Speaker 11: Well, firstly, it's the All Blacks and we just think 741 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 11: it's important to have a New Zealander at the helm 742 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,719 Speaker 11: of a team. But equally importantly as the fact that 743 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 11: we InCred we're blessed in New Zealand with the caliber 744 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,880 Speaker 11: of coaches that we have and continue to produce. So 745 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 11: we're confident that there is a good number of coaches 746 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 11: both here in New Zealand and around the world that 747 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:14,799 Speaker 11: are capable of coaching the All Blacks, and we don't 748 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 11: think we need to go outside of that. 749 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,320 Speaker 2: Why do you require international coaching experience? 750 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 11: Well, we're two years out from the World Cup, midway 751 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,359 Speaker 11: through a World Cup cycle and so we simply don't 752 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,360 Speaker 11: have time for someone to get up to speed in 753 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 11: the international context. It's really important that we appoint someone 754 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 11: who knows exactly what they're coming into and can hit 755 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 11: the ground running. 756 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 2: What level of international experience is necessary, So we. 757 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 11: Want a head coach and you know, while we're not 758 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,360 Speaker 11: closing anything off here, it's important that there've been a 759 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 11: head coach an international rugby and you know there'll be 760 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,879 Speaker 11: an element of subjectivity of this, but we'd want someone. 761 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,920 Speaker 11: We'd want to see that they've coached out a reasonable 762 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 11: stand in terms of their international head coaching. 763 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,280 Speaker 2: Would Brazil be a reasonable standard. 764 00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,800 Speaker 11: Probably not right, I don't want to you've tetic on 765 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 11: any of these things. But I'm not sure that we 766 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 11: have a New Zealander that's coaching. 767 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,240 Speaker 2: Brazil, do we or his coach Scott robertson coach Brazil. 768 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 11: Oh well, you know more than than I do on 769 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 11: that one. 770 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,920 Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, so that wouldn't that wouldn't cut the 771 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,800 Speaker 2: mustard this time, this time round. What you said, a 772 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 2: number of New Zealanders you think would be sufficiently qualified 773 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,280 Speaker 2: for the job. Have you heard anything from Josh Matt. 774 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 11: Well, look, as you said at the head, you know, 775 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,279 Speaker 11: there are things I can and can't speak about. One 776 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:37,600 Speaker 11: thing I can't once speak about as any individual potential candidates. 777 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,279 Speaker 2: Right, what about time frames? When are you trying to 778 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:41,319 Speaker 2: have a coach in place by. 779 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,280 Speaker 11: Well, we again, we don't want to put a deadline 780 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 11: on this because that's inherently dangerous in these type of processes. 781 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,640 Speaker 11: But we're mindful that the clock is attacking. We need 782 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,720 Speaker 11: to give this the urgency and the care that it requires, 783 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:59,360 Speaker 11: so we will be moving as quickly as possible. But 784 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:00,840 Speaker 11: as a so there'll be and how I'm going to 785 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 11: fluid to see that, because that's the nature of these processes. 786 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, Ideally, do you want to coach to be 787 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 2: in place during the Super Rugby season? 788 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:08,400 Speaker 6: Though? 789 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,240 Speaker 11: Oh ideally yeah, Like I mean, I'll make no bones 790 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 11: about it. We would like a coach in place as 791 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,440 Speaker 11: soon as possible, and we'll be working towards that once 792 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:18,719 Speaker 11: we know who the appoint is. 793 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 2: Theoretically, would it be easier to have a coach who's 794 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,399 Speaker 2: currently in New Zealand Would it be timelier to get 795 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,800 Speaker 2: them in place than a coach who's currently working overseas? 796 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 3: Oh? 797 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 11: Not necessarily. And again I don't want to give us 798 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:32,759 Speaker 11: too much to do here because we get into the 799 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 11: sphere of speculation. 800 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 6: But no, not really. 801 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 11: I mean we offer in the global marketplace and location 802 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 11: really doesn't have any Your current location doesn't really have 803 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 11: any bearing on when someone would be able to start. 804 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,719 Speaker 2: You're yet to confirm who the former All Back, the 805 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,920 Speaker 2: recent former All Black to go on the selection panel 806 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,719 Speaker 2: will be. Can you give us a bit of a 807 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,399 Speaker 2: time period, like, are you looking at an All Black 808 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:54,800 Speaker 2: who's been in the team in the last couple of 809 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,680 Speaker 2: years or are you thinking pre two thousands? Say? 810 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,759 Speaker 11: You know, certainly more in the latter space, and again 811 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,359 Speaker 11: we're not putting a cutoff on that, but we think 812 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,800 Speaker 11: it's really important that we have someone who has some 813 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 11: recency in the environment, who understands the game currently, the 814 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,520 Speaker 11: demands on the team, the context, and so yeah, we're 815 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 11: looking at someone that has relative recency in the team environment. 816 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:23,839 Speaker 11: A World Cup winner, well possibly that would be great, 817 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,960 Speaker 11: but again we wouldn't we wouldn't close it off to 818 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 11: only World Cup winners. 819 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Hey, appreciate your time and you're keeping 820 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:33,239 Speaker 2: us up to date with things.

Gid A Ben just how big is this? 850 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:01,200 Speaker 16: Yeah, good evening Jack huge for surf surfing in New Zealand. 851 00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 16: It's obviously the biggest event that's ever come to our 852 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,760 Speaker 16: shores and we can't wait to host those best surfers 853 00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:08,160 Speaker 16: in the world. 854 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,959 Speaker 17: It's going to be pretty spectacular viewing. 855 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,440 Speaker 2: So how many people are we expecting to attend and 856 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:15,719 Speaker 2: to bring into the country for us? 857 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,240 Speaker 16: Look, so in terms of athletes, it's the top thirty 858 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 16: six males and the top twenty four females. And then 859 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,719 Speaker 16: as I understand it with the World Surf League, I 860 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,840 Speaker 16: think there's eighty staff that are part of the event 861 00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 16: management team. And then you've got all the visitors that 862 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,000 Speaker 16: are going to come and hopefully enjoy some of our 863 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 16: amazing waves that we have an offer. 864 00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:39,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, what makes Ragland the right place for us? 865 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,919 Speaker 16: Well, Ragland's our best break in New Zealand. I guess 866 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 16: everyone likes to think their own home break is good, 867 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 16: but Ragland has three amazing point breaks. They break around 868 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:55,520 Speaker 16: a rocky outcrop around Mount Kadioi, and as they peel 869 00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,840 Speaker 16: around that mountain, the waves just get cleaner and cleaner 870 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,320 Speaker 16: as they come in. So often when the rest of 871 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 16: the West coast is blown out or southwesterly wind comes through. 872 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,439 Speaker 16: It's a bit unruly, but Raglan can still be really 873 00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,800 Speaker 16: nice because of that mountain. So very fortunate to have 874 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 16: that break here. 875 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:16,040 Speaker 2: So is the government chipping in a bit for this? Absolutely? 876 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,840 Speaker 16: So the WSL, with the World Surf League and the 877 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:22,480 Speaker 16: government have worked together to make this event possible and 878 00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:27,480 Speaker 16: they've been working pretty hard on different options throughout the 879 00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,799 Speaker 16: last few months and they ended up on this World 880 00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 16: Tour event, which is awesome. 881 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:33,640 Speaker 2: Right, how much are they putting in. 882 00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,440 Speaker 16: That's a question for the WSL on Probably not at 883 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,640 Speaker 16: that level to be bear jack, but look substantial amount 884 00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,200 Speaker 16: of money. I know that the World Surf League create 885 00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,360 Speaker 16: their own broadcasts. They have a million dollars of prize 886 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,000 Speaker 16: money at every event. And then you've got a whole 887 00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,719 Speaker 16: event build so you're not sort of it's not a 888 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:53,880 Speaker 16: latch key thing where you go into a stadium and 889 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 16: everything's there. You've actually got to build a whole event 890 00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:00,279 Speaker 16: site and know and cater to all the people going 891 00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,359 Speaker 16: to come and watch those best surfers in the world. 892 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, right now, I think we were last going to 893 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:08,000 Speaker 2: have a major serving event back in twenty twenty at 894 00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,160 Speaker 2: PIHA is one of the upsides of holding it at 895 00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,839 Speaker 2: Ragland that those breaks are really consistent that you don't 896 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:14,960 Speaker 2: have to wait for windows in the weather or anything 897 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:15,200 Speaker 2: like that. 898 00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:16,600 Speaker 10: Yeah. 899 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 16: So that event at pih was the second tier, so 900 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,560 Speaker 16: that was a Challenger series. This one's the World Tour, 901 00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,160 Speaker 16: so that's the next one up. Yeah, Ragland does have 902 00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,920 Speaker 16: more favorable conditions. That's plain and simple. Like I say, 903 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,479 Speaker 16: it's the best break in the world. And from talking 904 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,319 Speaker 16: to the WSL over the last few weeks, if they 905 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,800 Speaker 16: were going to come back to New Zealand with a 906 00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,280 Speaker 16: World Tour event, it was going to be Raglan because 907 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,040 Speaker 16: that's synonymous around the world with New Zealand. You know, 908 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:44,800 Speaker 16: you talk to anyone around the world as a surfer 909 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,239 Speaker 16: and they'll go, oh, Ragland is the place to be. 910 00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,640 Speaker 2: No, it's fantastic, really exciting stuff. Looking forward to it. 911 00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,239 Speaker 2: Thanks Ben. That has Ben Kennings, the chief executive of 912 00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,759 Speaker 2: Surfing New Zealand. That event set to kick off on 913 00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:56,360 Speaker 2: May fifteenth. 914 00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:56,600 Speaker 3: Of this year. 915 00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:57,880 Speaker 2: We'll get to more of your feedback in a few 916 00:45:57,920 --> 00:45:59,120 Speaker 2: minutes twenty two past five. 917 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:02,960 Speaker 3: You trust to get the answers you need. 918 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,960 Speaker 1: It's Jack tam On hither duplicy Ellen drive with one 919 00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,399 Speaker 1: New Zealand coverage like no one else. 920 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:10,640 Speaker 3: News Talks EV. 921 00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,919 Speaker 2: Twenty four past five. As the human tragedy at Mount 922 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:19,279 Speaker 2: Monganui continues, the timeline around warnings and what authorities knew 923 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,520 Speaker 2: and when they knew it was becoming a little bit clearer. 924 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:25,040 Speaker 2: So Fire and Emergency FENS has confirmed that it received 925 00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,120 Speaker 2: a one one one call about landslides on the mount 926 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 2: just before six o'clock on Thursday morning. Now, as you 927 00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:35,839 Speaker 2: would expect, FENNS has a robust record keeping system which 928 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,720 Speaker 2: records that call as being at five forty eight am. 929 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,880 Speaker 2: The slips at that time, though didn't impact life or property, 930 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,279 Speaker 2: and so three minutes later, at nine minutes to six, 931 00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:49,839 Speaker 2: fens says it notified Todung's Council as the landowner responsible. 932 00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:51,960 Speaker 2: And here's where it gets a little bit tricky. So 933 00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,600 Speaker 2: todung a City council CEO initially said that the council 934 00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,840 Speaker 2: didn't have a record of the call at the council's end. 935 00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:02,439 Speaker 2: Then he was corrected. The council did actually receive that call. 936 00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,239 Speaker 2: But given all of the staff who were working in 937 00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,520 Speaker 2: the various calls they were receiving as they responded to 938 00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,239 Speaker 2: weather problems across the city in the region that morning. 939 00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,480 Speaker 2: It is going to take a bit of time and 940 00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:17,360 Speaker 2: the independent review to work out the timeline at the 941 00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:22,680 Speaker 2: council's end. Personally, I had no idea until this week 942 00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,000 Speaker 2: that landslides kill more people in New Zealand than any 943 00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:29,560 Speaker 2: other natural disaster. But as the changing climate makes these 944 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:33,440 Speaker 2: burg big weather events and storms much more common, the 945 00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:38,399 Speaker 2: question of liability is going to become more precient than ever. 946 00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,960 Speaker 2: In addition to responding to the myriad problems that extreme 947 00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:46,840 Speaker 2: weather might cause, In addition to modeling for flooding and 948 00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:50,480 Speaker 2: high winds, councils and landowners need to have a system 949 00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:54,279 Speaker 2: for assessing landslide risk in different areas and responding in 950 00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,440 Speaker 2: real times as conditions dictate. And one of the critical 951 00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 2: questions in the independent review will be so weather Receiving 952 00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,120 Speaker 2: that call from Fens about a slip on the mount 953 00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:08,040 Speaker 2: would have been enough for the council to actually evacuate 954 00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:12,720 Speaker 2: the campground. Did they have an adequate real time extreme 955 00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,799 Speaker 2: weather risk management system? Should staff have had to wait 956 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:19,239 Speaker 2: for a landslip to be reported, or should heavy rain 957 00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:23,360 Speaker 2: have been enough to get people out? The question of 958 00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:27,920 Speaker 2: liability looms over everything in this tragedy, and it is 959 00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:31,960 Speaker 2: my hunch that many councils and landowners around the country 960 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,719 Speaker 2: will be looking at the terrible events in Mount Monganuy 961 00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:38,759 Speaker 2: and realizing that actually their own systems for assessing real 962 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:43,799 Speaker 2: time landslide risk are woefully inadequate. Totaling A Council hopes 963 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:45,839 Speaker 2: to have the terms of reference and more detail about 964 00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:49,719 Speaker 2: the independent inquiry confirmed later this week. But just as 965 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,960 Speaker 2: Pike River was a catalyst for huge health and safety 966 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,840 Speaker 2: law reforms, the Mount Monginery disaster is fast shaping up 967 00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:01,080 Speaker 2: as a watershed moment for property owners and councils when 968 00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:04,759 Speaker 2: it comes to liability around the country. News Talk ZB 969 00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,040 Speaker 2: ninety two is our text number if you want to 970 00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,879 Speaker 2: send me a message this morning. Thanks for your text, Jack. 971 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,919 Speaker 2: I'm absolutely amazed that New Zealand Rugby is only looking 972 00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,360 Speaker 2: for a New Zealand coach. Is either arrogance or ignorance, 973 00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:18,160 Speaker 2: not sure which, says John. We're going to ask a 974 00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,680 Speaker 2: huddle about that before six o'clock this evening.

What does it achieve. 977 00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:30,200 Speaker 2: After the five thirty news, we're going to catch up 978 00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,960 Speaker 2: with the former director at the WHO. He will respond 979 00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:36,200 Speaker 2: to Winston Peters comments after the US pulled out of 980 00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:39,720 Speaker 2: the WHO and criticized it as a bloated bureaucracy. Winston 981 00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,120 Speaker 2: Peter's had a few criticisms of his own, so we 982 00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,960 Speaker 2: will get response to that very shortly. News is next, 983 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,000 Speaker 2: though it's almost five thirty on news Talk. 984 00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:52,000 Speaker 1: ZEDB on your smart speaker, on the iHeart app, and 985 00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:54,759 Speaker 1: in your car on your drive home, it's Jack Team 986 00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,040 Speaker 1: on hitherto for Cellen Drive with one New Zealand and 987 00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,560 Speaker 1: the power of satellite mobile news talks. 988 00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:00,920 Speaker 3: That'd be. 989 00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,560 Speaker 2: Twenty sex on news Talks. It had been controversial. Take 990 00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:29,080 Speaker 2: I don't think Queen Street's that bad. I know what 991 00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,160 Speaker 2: you're thinking. Hang on a second, did he just say 992 00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:31,520 Speaker 2: what I thought? 993 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:31,799 Speaker 6: He said? 994 00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't actually think Queen Streets that bad. Is 995 00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:38,759 Speaker 2: it amazing? Nah? Is it incredible? 996 00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:40,439 Speaker 3: Nah? 997 00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,480 Speaker 2: Do I rush there on my days off to enjoy 998 00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:49,360 Speaker 2: all of the retail opportunities in Hostpo spot Nah? But 999 00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:51,440 Speaker 2: that being said, I certainly think Queen Stread is a 1000 00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:53,320 Speaker 2: whole lot better than it has been in the past. 1001 00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,200 Speaker 2: But a very very interesting little piece published today by 1002 00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:59,720 Speaker 2: Andrew Barnes, the entrepreneur, you know, the founder of Perpetual Guardian. 1003 00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:05,279 Speaker 2: He has considered the impending opening of the five and 1004 00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,200 Speaker 2: a half billion dollar Central Rail Link and the things 1005 00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,640 Speaker 2: that might be required just to inject a little bit 1006 00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:14,200 Speaker 2: more life into the CBD. So we're going to have 1007 00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:18,799 Speaker 2: a potentially world class rail link bringing a whole lot 1008 00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,560 Speaker 2: more people into the CBD for work. But how could 1009 00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:23,960 Speaker 2: you inject a bit more life into the CBD twenty 1010 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,000 Speaker 2: four to seven. Well, he reckons, the key is to 1011 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,560 Speaker 2: have more people, and part of the key and getting 1012 00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:32,960 Speaker 2: more people to the CBD is to improve the living options. Now, 1013 00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:36,080 Speaker 2: I think there's a really really interesting little suggestion as 1014 00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:39,279 Speaker 2: part of it he has and part of his part 1015 00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:42,840 Speaker 2: of his plan for injecting a bit more life into 1016 00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:47,120 Speaker 2: Central Auckland suggested that councils should have a use it 1017 00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,880 Speaker 2: or lose it clause when it comes to properties. So 1018 00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:55,560 Speaker 2: if there are properties that developers are sitting on, they're 1019 00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:59,920 Speaker 2: essentially land banking that could be developed into retail spots, 1020 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,800 Speaker 2: hospitality spots, or even apartment buildings that people might be 1021 00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:06,279 Speaker 2: living in. He reckons that actually counsels should have the 1022 00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:08,200 Speaker 2: right to say to developers, if you don't get a 1023 00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:09,880 Speaker 2: move on, if you don't get your skates on and 1024 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,440 Speaker 2: develop this property, then you're gonna lose it. So we're 1025 00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,080 Speaker 2: going to take a close look at that suggestion. After 1026 00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:16,120 Speaker 2: six o'clock this evening. Right now, it is twenty two 1027 00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:20,880 Speaker 2: minutes to six. News talk said and a bit of 1028 00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:24,600 Speaker 2: drama around the World Health Organization following Donald Trump formally 1029 00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:27,439 Speaker 2: withdrawing the US from the WHO, New Zealand First Leader 1030 00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:30,440 Speaker 2: Winston Peters is questioning whether New Zealand should maybe do 1031 00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:33,000 Speaker 2: the same. He says we need to take quote a 1032 00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,400 Speaker 2: serious look at where the taxpayers money is being spent responsibly. 1033 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:38,840 Speaker 2: The Prime ministers shut down the suggestion, but says the 1034 00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:42,520 Speaker 2: organization does need to function better. University of Auckland professor 1035 00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:46,000 Speaker 2: and former director at the WHO, doctor Rob Beaglehole is 1036 00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:47,480 Speaker 2: with us the evening kilder Rob. 1037 00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:50,759 Speaker 18: Good even cure is so just. 1038 00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:52,680 Speaker 2: How effective is the WHO? 1039 00:52:54,160 --> 00:53:00,680 Speaker 18: Well, it has been extremely effective. It hasn't always performed 1040 00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:04,200 Speaker 18: as well as we would like, but that in part 1041 00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:08,320 Speaker 18: is a reflection of the way it works. But we 1042 00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:13,040 Speaker 18: absolutely need WHO globally. New Zealand needs to be a 1043 00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:14,640 Speaker 18: part of WHO. 1044 00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,280 Speaker 2: So give us the cell the back of the envelope. 1045 00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:20,680 Speaker 2: What does New Zealand get out of being in the WHO. 1046 00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:29,000 Speaker 18: Well, I think we get tremendous advice, support and the 1047 00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:33,040 Speaker 18: setting of standards, advice on the best treatment, on how 1048 00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:37,239 Speaker 18: to prevention. I think most importantly we get help in 1049 00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:41,719 Speaker 18: the prevention of diseases and the promotion of health. We 1050 00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:47,120 Speaker 18: had a terrible COVID epidemic. We'll have another pandemic inevitably, 1051 00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:52,640 Speaker 18: and the only way to respond effectively, apart from closing 1052 00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,080 Speaker 18: borders for a short time, is going to be to 1053 00:53:55,200 --> 00:54:02,040 Speaker 18: work with other countries together. So diseases don't I don't 1054 00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:05,920 Speaker 18: need cross borders without any question, and we need to 1055 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:10,080 Speaker 18: work countries to reduce the impact of all diseases, especially 1056 00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:14,320 Speaker 18: the next pandemic. We need WHO to coordinate that response. 1057 00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:17,000 Speaker 2: Does it represent good value for money? 1058 00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:21,880 Speaker 18: I really think it represents tremendously good value for money. 1059 00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:26,240 Speaker 18: The overall budget is perhaps just over two billion dollars 1060 00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:29,000 Speaker 18: a year. You could hardly run a decent hospital with 1061 00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:32,640 Speaker 18: that amount of money. New Zealand's contribution on an annual 1062 00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:37,960 Speaker 18: basis varies, that is, in an order of a few 1063 00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:40,719 Speaker 18: million maybe three or four million dollars a year. It's 1064 00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:46,440 Speaker 18: peanuts for what we get, and we are contributing to 1065 00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:51,480 Speaker 18: the reform of WHO. Mister Peters is absolutely right. It 1066 00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:56,000 Speaker 18: needs reform. It needs to be working much more efficiently. 1067 00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:59,160 Speaker 18: It needs to be more based at the country level, 1068 00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:03,279 Speaker 18: less the intensively based in Geneva. But we've got to 1069 00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,000 Speaker 18: be part of the organization to make it work better, 1070 00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,680 Speaker 18: and without it we'd have to create some other organization. 1071 00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:15,200 Speaker 2: He essentially says that the WHO hasn't had a democratic 1072 00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:18,280 Speaker 2: mandate for some of the things that it has pursued. 1073 00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:19,840 Speaker 2: Is that a fear criticism. 1074 00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:27,680 Speaker 18: Well in the sense that WHO makes decisions based on 1075 00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:32,120 Speaker 18: its membership in every country, no matter how big how small, 1076 00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:36,759 Speaker 18: has one vote, So in that sense it's extremely democratic. 1077 00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:42,080 Speaker 18: It doesn't report, of course to the taxpayers in New Zealand, 1078 00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:47,480 Speaker 18: but it does report to our representatives at WHO, So 1079 00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:52,720 Speaker 18: in some senses it's so democratic that it gets bogged 1080 00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:56,000 Speaker 18: down and this discussions. But it couldn't be more democratic 1081 00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:58,560 Speaker 18: in that sense. And New Zealand has been on the 1082 00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:02,960 Speaker 18: executive board and country Who's growth rotate through these governing positions, 1083 00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:06,279 Speaker 18: so we do have an opportunity to influence all of 1084 00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:07,000 Speaker 18: the decisions. 1085 00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:09,879 Speaker 2: Hey, we really appreciate your time. Thank you so much. 1086 00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:10,120 Speaker 11: Rob. 1087 00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:13,600 Speaker 2: That is doctor Rob Beaglehold, the University of Auckland, Professor 1088 00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:17,200 Speaker 2: emeritus of Community Health and former director at the WHO. 1089 00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:19,600 Speaker 2: It's eighteen to six on Newstalk ZB. 1090 00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:24,360 Speaker 1: The Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Real Team, the 1091 00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:26,120 Speaker 1: only truly global. 1092 00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,720 Speaker 2: Brand on the Huddle this evening. Tresh Hurson from Sherson 1093 00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:32,279 Speaker 2: Willis pr and former Auckland mayor, former Labor leader, former 1094 00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:37,640 Speaker 2: Foreign Minister Phil golfkild accord with Hello Jack. Hello, felt 1095 00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:39,800 Speaker 2: to be very great to be with the both of you. 1096 00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:42,040 Speaker 2: So I'm going to start with you because Donald Trump 1097 00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:45,640 Speaker 2: has said that NATO troops stayed back, stayed a little back, 1098 00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:48,880 Speaker 2: a little off the front lines in Afghanistan, and you 1099 00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:53,480 Speaker 2: have put forward a pretty strongly argued peace saying that 1100 00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:56,600 Speaker 2: New Zealand's government needs to speak out against his comments. 1101 00:56:56,920 --> 00:57:02,439 Speaker 19: Why so, oh absolutely, Look, come, Trump is absolutely wrong. 1102 00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:06,640 Speaker 19: It's either he's hugely ignorant or it's a self serving 1103 00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:09,800 Speaker 19: lie to just diminish the sacrifice of a third of 1104 00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:13,680 Speaker 19: those who died in Afghanistan who were non American people 1105 00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:18,880 Speaker 19: serving with ISAF. Look, he cheapens the sacrifice that and 1106 00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:23,840 Speaker 19: other countries made. Ten of our soldiers died there, and 1107 00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:28,520 Speaker 19: imagine the hurt and the insult felt by the families 1108 00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:30,440 Speaker 19: of those vets. One of the people that died there 1109 00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:34,000 Speaker 19: was my nephew. And you know, for Trump to say 1110 00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:36,160 Speaker 19: and I went to the funerals of a number of 1111 00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:40,200 Speaker 19: people at Linton and Burnham to say that our people 1112 00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:42,040 Speaker 19: were in the back and they weren't in the front 1113 00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:46,680 Speaker 19: line is just an outright lie. It's outrageous. Other leaders 1114 00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:50,280 Speaker 19: have called him out, including Starma, who said that it 1115 00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:54,520 Speaker 19: was deeply insulting what he said. And our people have 1116 00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,880 Speaker 19: not issued a word of criticism, and that shows how 1117 00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:01,760 Speaker 19: hard I think our government trying to ingratiate themselves to 1118 00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,800 Speaker 19: Trump and not having the guts to stand up and 1119 00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,800 Speaker 19: speak on behalf of our veterans who gave up so much. 1120 00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:12,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think many many people will agree that his 1121 00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:14,960 Speaker 2: comments were deeply insulting, especially to those who were on 1122 00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:18,200 Speaker 2: the front lines. To be a total nitpicker though, fell 1123 00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:20,560 Speaker 2: I mean he did say NATO troops right, So New 1124 00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:21,600 Speaker 2: Zealander was not a part. 1125 00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:24,240 Speaker 19: We were no, no, but we were part of the 1126 00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:28,720 Speaker 19: NATO led group, the International Security Assistance Force. He wasn't 1127 00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:31,840 Speaker 19: singling out just those countries that were part of NATO, 1128 00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:36,280 Speaker 19: but that were part of the ISAF forces. So there's 1129 00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:39,400 Speaker 19: no look. He wasn't saying the Britz lacked guts are 1130 00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:41,760 Speaker 19: but the New Zealanders they were great. He was putting 1131 00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:45,080 Speaker 19: everybody that were non American into one bag and saying, 1132 00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:48,360 Speaker 19: you weren't American, you weren't really that important, your sacrifice 1133 00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:50,920 Speaker 19: wasn't that great, and you didn't show much courage. But 1134 00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,160 Speaker 19: then you know, this was the guy that called John McCain, 1135 00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:57,280 Speaker 19: who was shot down over Vietnam, had two fractured arms, 1136 00:58:57,320 --> 00:58:59,960 Speaker 19: a fractured leg, and he was captured after nearly dres 1137 00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:03,520 Speaker 19: when he parachuted into a lake. Called him he wasn't 1138 00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:05,920 Speaker 19: a hero because he'd allowed himself to be captured, the 1139 00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:10,720 Speaker 19: man that dodged the draft five times, once again insulting veterans. 1140 00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:13,280 Speaker 2: So, Trish, what have you made of the New Zealand 1141 00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:16,560 Speaker 2: response here? Does it make sense for the government to 1142 00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:18,720 Speaker 2: put its head above the power of it and criticize 1143 00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:19,920 Speaker 2: Donald Trump's comments? 1144 00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:24,240 Speaker 20: Well, it seems to me that this is a continuation 1145 00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:30,000 Speaker 20: of New Zealand's appeasements strategy for Trump. But my hope 1146 00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:34,760 Speaker 20: is what we saw at Davos last week starting to happen. 1147 00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:38,760 Speaker 20: And don't forget these comments of Trump's were part of 1148 00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,520 Speaker 20: what some have called the sort of monstrous Trump show 1149 00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:46,760 Speaker 20: that rolled into Davos last week. You know, gave a 1150 00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:52,520 Speaker 20: long and rambling speech which was all really about alliance corrosion. 1151 00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:57,000 Speaker 20: But what you started to see at Davos was led 1152 00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:02,560 Speaker 20: by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Some starting to really 1153 01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,760 Speaker 20: stand up to Trump, and I felt that the strength 1154 01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:10,040 Speaker 20: of Sukia Starma from Britain his comments around pushing back 1155 01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:13,720 Speaker 20: on this and others people are starting, I think, to 1156 01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:17,280 Speaker 20: show a little bit more spine around Trump. But the 1157 01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:21,080 Speaker 20: bigger question is whether or not we are finally going 1158 01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:25,080 Speaker 20: to see leaders in the Western Alliance actually come together 1159 01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:28,320 Speaker 20: and start to make joint statements and still have a 1160 01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:30,800 Speaker 20: much more informed view on this than me as a 1161 01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:34,880 Speaker 20: former foreign minister. But you know Trump is he runs 1162 01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:38,000 Speaker 20: the presidency like a reality TV show. He likes to 1163 01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:43,080 Speaker 20: end every sort of episode of his show. I et 1164 01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:46,439 Speaker 20: Davos with these shocking remarks that everyone spends the next 1165 01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:49,800 Speaker 20: two weeks reacting to. But what we are and he 1166 01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:52,840 Speaker 20: loves the fact that everyone is fractured and everyone is 1167 01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:56,320 Speaker 20: handwringing saying should we react or not? You know, there 1168 01:00:56,360 --> 01:01:02,480 Speaker 20: are now mounting calls for increasing cohesiveness from Western leaders 1169 01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:05,880 Speaker 20: to actually call out these kind of comments. 1170 01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:07,840 Speaker 2: Who do you think We're seen a shift if you 1171 01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:13,320 Speaker 2: consider the way in which European company countries responded to 1172 01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:15,600 Speaker 2: Greenland over the last couple of weeks. You think about 1173 01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:18,680 Speaker 2: some of those comments, from the likes of Karne at Davos, 1174 01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:21,960 Speaker 2: the likes of Sekire Starma. Do you think that some 1175 01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:24,120 Speaker 2: of the other countries in the so called Western Alliance 1176 01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:26,320 Speaker 2: might be changing their strategy when it comes to dealing 1177 01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:27,000 Speaker 2: with Donald Trump. 1178 01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:29,880 Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, I think there has been a shift. And 1179 01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:33,600 Speaker 19: you know what the Europeans have realized is that when 1180 01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:37,120 Speaker 19: you appease a playground bully, you don't stop them bullying. 1181 01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:40,280 Speaker 19: You're just encouraging, encourage them to keep on doing it. 1182 01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:44,840 Speaker 19: They were outraged, first of all, at the idea that 1183 01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:48,600 Speaker 19: Trump did not initially dismissed that he would invade Greenland, 1184 01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:51,000 Speaker 19: which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, one of 1185 01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:54,240 Speaker 19: his allies and the country that suffered the highest per 1186 01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:58,160 Speaker 19: capita losses in Afghanistan, by the way, and then they 1187 01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:01,600 Speaker 19: were even more outraged that if they issued a word 1188 01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:04,400 Speaker 19: of criticism he was going to slap big tariffs on them. Now, 1189 01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:11,720 Speaker 19: this is just unacceptable, narcissistic, megalomania, bullying by a guy 1190 01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:14,040 Speaker 19: that doesn't deserve to be the head of the world's 1191 01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:16,960 Speaker 19: most powerful country. And the Europeans have figured it out. 1192 01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:19,400 Speaker 19: If you stand up against him, he'll back off, and 1193 01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:22,560 Speaker 19: he did, and Mark Carney led the way. And what 1194 01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:26,080 Speaker 19: I'm saying is, wouldn't it be fantastic if New Zealand 1195 01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:29,560 Speaker 19: political leaders in government actually did the same thing and 1196 01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:30,560 Speaker 19: showed a bit of spine. 1197 01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:34,040 Speaker 2: So trash New Zealand Rugby has announced its prerequisites for 1198 01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:35,880 Speaker 2: the next Allbacks coach. They've got to be a New 1199 01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:39,520 Speaker 2: Zealander and they have to have international coaching experience. What 1200 01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:40,040 Speaker 2: do you reckon? 1201 01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:46,800 Speaker 20: Well, I'm look, I'm not as knee deep in rugby 1202 01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:49,600 Speaker 20: as I might have been ten years ago, Jack, But 1203 01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:53,520 Speaker 20: I do think this is an interesting twist. I think 1204 01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:56,080 Speaker 20: there's a couple of things. First of all, the composition 1205 01:02:56,440 --> 01:03:00,480 Speaker 20: of the panel who are selecting their new coaches a tell, 1206 01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:04,120 Speaker 20: because through the last few years there have been issues 1207 01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:07,480 Speaker 20: with at New Zealand Rugby, not just with governance but 1208 01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:11,040 Speaker 20: also team performance and having that player voice, and I 1209 01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:14,280 Speaker 20: think the panel composition tells you they're trying to balance 1210 01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:19,720 Speaker 20: all of those. The international experience, to me seems like 1211 01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:23,440 Speaker 20: a good idea because the All Blacks don't need to 1212 01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:26,320 Speaker 20: learn how to play rugby, but they do need to 1213 01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:31,480 Speaker 20: win an increasingly tough environments where a lot of our 1214 01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:37,120 Speaker 20: main competitors are stronger than us, so you need a 1215 01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:41,080 Speaker 20: coach who can bring back that knowledge. I think the 1216 01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:46,080 Speaker 20: New Zealand passport rule is interesting and maybe that's more 1217 01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:49,160 Speaker 20: about the culture of the team and you know, whateveryone 1218 01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:53,640 Speaker 20: now calls the All Blacks environment in quotes, but I 1219 01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:57,120 Speaker 20: do think that we have to be careful that we 1220 01:03:57,320 --> 01:04:02,040 Speaker 20: don't miss good talent because of that. And also, don't forget, 1221 01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:04,720 Speaker 20: it's not just about the coach in the All Blacks. 1222 01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:09,280 Speaker 20: It's about the assistant stack that sits you know, below 1223 01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:13,400 Speaker 20: and alongside the coach, and that is equally, if not. 1224 01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:16,480 Speaker 2: More more important, Phil, what do you think? 1225 01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:19,720 Speaker 19: Yeah, look, I tend to agree with all of what 1226 01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:23,880 Speaker 19: Trish said there. Obviously you've got to have international coaching experience. 1227 01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:27,080 Speaker 19: If you don't have that, you're at a real disadvantage, 1228 01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:29,080 Speaker 19: and you'd have to ask the question, if you're a 1229 01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:31,160 Speaker 19: really good coach, how come you'd never been given the 1230 01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:36,200 Speaker 19: chance to coach at an international level. I'd much prefer 1231 01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:38,480 Speaker 19: it to be a New Zealander. But if you had 1232 01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:41,640 Speaker 19: somebody really superb that wasn't a New Zealander but was 1233 01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:44,720 Speaker 19: the best person for the job, I'd still tend to 1234 01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:47,600 Speaker 19: take the best person for the job. You know, I 1235 01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:53,280 Speaker 19: often wonder. Obviously you'd think that Scott Robertson with his 1236 01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:56,800 Speaker 19: track record with the Crusaders, was an obvious person and 1237 01:04:57,160 --> 01:05:00,640 Speaker 19: you know the huge success rate in super rugby, but 1238 01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:04,040 Speaker 19: he didn't have international experience. But more importantly, he didn't 1239 01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:07,120 Speaker 19: have the ability to motivate and bring that team together. 1240 01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:09,960 Speaker 19: So there's got to be those you know, Okay, most 1241 01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:11,720 Speaker 19: of these coaches are going to be former All Blacks 1242 01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:14,960 Speaker 19: and rugby players, but you've got to have that way. 1243 01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:18,720 Speaker 19: Your coach is there to motivate and to unify and 1244 01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:21,520 Speaker 19: to strategically plan for the team, and they have to 1245 01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:25,440 Speaker 19: have those skills. Now, you know, I can understand why 1246 01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:28,200 Speaker 19: Scott Robinson was replaced, even with the seventy six percent 1247 01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:32,680 Speaker 19: track record of winning. But they need to make sure 1248 01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:35,440 Speaker 19: that we have somebody really superb that can take us 1249 01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:38,040 Speaker 19: back to a situation where we can win the next 1250 01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:40,000 Speaker 19: Rugby World Cup next year and. 1251 01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:41,800 Speaker 2: Do it fast. I think that's the key as well. 1252 01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:43,360 Speaker 2: Thanks so much for your time. The said thing guys. 1253 01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:46,400 Speaker 2: That's former Aukland mayor, former Labour leader Phil Goff and 1254 01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:50,080 Speaker 2: Tres Shurson from Sherson Willis pr huddle this evening six 1255 01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:50,520 Speaker 2: to six. 1256 01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:55,000 Speaker 1: The Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty a name 1257 01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:59,400 Speaker 1: you can trust locally and globally.

So before 1278 01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:08,080 Speaker 2: seven o'clock we will take you to the UK. Plus, 1279 01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:11,120 Speaker 2: we're going to catch up with Andrew Barnes, the founder 1280 01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:16,000 Speaker 2: of Perpetual Guardian, to ask him about his plan for revitalizing, rejuvenating, 1281 01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:19,240 Speaker 2: re energizing the Auckland CBD ahead of the opening of 1282 01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:23,520 Speaker 2: Auckland's Central rail Link later on this year. He's got 1283 01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:26,320 Speaker 2: some interesting ideas, including a use it or Lose it clause, 1284 01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:30,480 Speaker 2: so councils could basically say right to developers, if you've 1285 01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:33,160 Speaker 2: got a property, it's just sitting there, you're doing nothing 1286 01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:35,840 Speaker 2: with it at the moment it could be developed. We're 1287 01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:38,200 Speaker 2: going to force you to do that. So councils would 1288 01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:40,080 Speaker 2: have to have legislation that will give them these powers. 1289 01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:42,080 Speaker 2: But we'll ask him about that before seven o'clock. Right 1290 01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:45,280 Speaker 2: now it is seven minutes past six, in time to 1291 01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:47,640 Speaker 2: catch up with Finance Minister Nichola Willis, who's with us 1292 01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:50,080 Speaker 2: before the first cabinet meeting in the first day of 1293 01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:52,120 Speaker 2: parliament for twenty twenty six. I bet you won't be 1294 01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:54,600 Speaker 2: sleeping tonight. You will just be so excited, no doubt. 1295 01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:57,920 Speaker 21: Oh I am excited. Of course. We have been back 1296 01:07:58,000 --> 01:07:59,960 Speaker 21: at work for a while, along with most of Newseum. 1297 01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:03,240 Speaker 21: But as you say, tomorrow first formal cabinet meeting and 1298 01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:04,400 Speaker 21: the reopening of parliament. 1299 01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:06,560 Speaker 2: So what do you make of these inflation figures? I 1300 01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:08,479 Speaker 2: think most of the analysts were picking a two point 1301 01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:10,959 Speaker 2: seven percent. Three point one was the final number. 1302 01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:14,560 Speaker 21: It is higher than was expected, and of course we 1303 01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:17,760 Speaker 21: target inflation staying under three percent, and that's where we 1304 01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:20,080 Speaker 21: want it to be over the medium term and where 1305 01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:23,360 Speaker 21: it's been for more than a year now. Of course, 1306 01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:27,000 Speaker 21: the Reserve Bank has been having its foot hard on 1307 01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:31,519 Speaker 21: the accelerator with multiple reductions and the official cash rate 1308 01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:35,640 Speaker 21: over recent months, and they always have the opportunity to 1309 01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:39,000 Speaker 21: monitor the data as it's coming through and then determine 1310 01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:41,880 Speaker 21: at what point they might ease their foot on the accelerator. 1311 01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:45,240 Speaker 2: So most of the banks, I think, picking that they 1312 01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:47,559 Speaker 2: might ease the foot on the accelerator and start putting 1313 01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:49,960 Speaker 2: it on the brake a little earlier than previously expected, 1314 01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:53,479 Speaker 2: maybe even this year as opposed to twenty twenty seven. 1315 01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:55,160 Speaker 2: What would be the political. 1316 01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:58,640 Speaker 21: Impact, Well, the banks always monitor the data as it 1317 01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:01,200 Speaker 21: comes Then this is one data point. There will be 1318 01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:06,280 Speaker 21: many over the next few months. It's likely that inflation 1319 01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:09,080 Speaker 21: will come back into band and banks will factor that 1320 01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:12,400 Speaker 21: in as well. Look, the Reserve Bank has a really 1321 01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:15,599 Speaker 21: important role. It needs to keep inflation under three percent, 1322 01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:18,400 Speaker 21: and we as a government really support them in that 1323 01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:22,040 Speaker 21: mandate because it's the inflation that is the broadest driver 1324 01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:24,799 Speaker 21: of the cost of living. At the same time, interest 1325 01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:28,879 Speaker 21: rate reductions have been really important to recovering our economy 1326 01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:32,280 Speaker 21: after a very difficult period. But it's always the case 1327 01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:35,839 Speaker 21: that as the economy recovers, you do expect that eventually 1328 01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:38,439 Speaker 21: interest rates to go up. They're now at very low 1329 01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:40,960 Speaker 21: levels compared to where they were. You know, for context, 1330 01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:43,639 Speaker 21: under the last government we had eleven interest rate hikes 1331 01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:46,280 Speaker 21: on our watch, there have been nine reductions. 1332 01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:49,120 Speaker 2: So your first step, I think, in fact, the very 1333 01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:52,200 Speaker 2: first piece of legislation your government passed was to return 1334 01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:54,519 Speaker 2: the Reserve Bank to a single mandate from that previous 1335 01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:58,280 Speaker 2: dual mandate. Does the single mandate focused on price stability 1336 01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:01,280 Speaker 2: increase the like hood that looking at a bit of 1337 01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:04,280 Speaker 2: surprise data like this, the Reserve Bank would move faster 1338 01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:06,040 Speaker 2: to start increasing interest rates. 1339 01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:10,200 Speaker 21: I don't think so. It does mean that the Reserve 1340 01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:12,800 Speaker 21: Bank would not be in a situation like it was 1341 01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:15,960 Speaker 21: under the last government, where inflation was outside of target 1342 01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:19,280 Speaker 21: for three years and that was what led to the 1343 01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:22,880 Speaker 21: cost of living crisis, and we viewed that as unacceptable. 1344 01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:25,400 Speaker 21: So the Reserve Bank has a mandate to look at 1345 01:10:25,439 --> 01:10:28,439 Speaker 21: the medium term, so it will be analyzing all of 1346 01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:30,120 Speaker 21: the data to say, well, are some of this just 1347 01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:34,080 Speaker 21: a blip, These are transitory, temporary factors, what's really going 1348 01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:38,800 Speaker 21: on underneath? Economists have noted that the core inflation indicators 1349 01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:42,000 Speaker 21: are still in band and that some of these factors 1350 01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:45,320 Speaker 21: are seasonal international airfares and the like. But look, it's 1351 01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:47,120 Speaker 21: up for the Reserve Bank to analyze all of that 1352 01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:48,320 Speaker 21: data and make its judgments. 1353 01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:51,760 Speaker 2: Accordingly, So does you have a say on the election date? 1354 01:10:53,439 --> 01:10:55,799 Speaker 21: I discussed that with the Prime Minister. 1355 01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:56,200 Speaker 3: Yes. 1356 01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:59,160 Speaker 2: Let me ask us, if you'd had this inflation data 1357 01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:01,960 Speaker 2: before that decision was made, would you have advocated for 1358 01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:02,639 Speaker 2: a different date. 1359 01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:08,679 Speaker 21: Look, the election date is really just about a bunch 1360 01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:12,880 Speaker 21: of operational factors. So we looked at things like when 1361 01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:17,000 Speaker 21: there were major sports matches, school holidays, all of those 1362 01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:19,400 Speaker 21: sorts of things, and really the date just fell out 1363 01:11:19,439 --> 01:11:22,439 Speaker 21: of that. It's much less of a political process than 1364 01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:23,320 Speaker 21: some might imagine. 1365 01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:26,720 Speaker 2: Really, I mean, sure, put it this way, if we 1366 01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:30,000 Speaker 2: thought that interest rates were going to be significantly increasing 1367 01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:32,720 Speaker 2: in the last quarter of this year, more than just 1368 01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:35,719 Speaker 2: a twenty five basis point increase, then surely there would 1369 01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:37,599 Speaker 2: be political incentives not to have an election. 1370 01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:39,519 Speaker 21: At the same time, well, I look at it a 1371 01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:42,840 Speaker 21: different Wayjack, which is what is the big risk at 1372 01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:47,320 Speaker 21: this election that people re elect a labor led government 1373 01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:50,720 Speaker 21: that has a proven track record of doing so much 1374 01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:55,280 Speaker 21: wasteful spending that they turbo charge inflation and turbid turbo 1375 01:11:55,439 --> 01:11:59,439 Speaker 21: charge interest rate hikes. So actually my view is, of 1376 01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:03,519 Speaker 21: course I want to see stable inflation. I'm really delighted 1377 01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:05,400 Speaker 21: for all those first home buyers who are entering the 1378 01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:08,759 Speaker 21: market as rates come down, and for those mortgage holdersho've 1379 01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:11,080 Speaker 21: got a bit more breathing space in their household budget. 1380 01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:14,280 Speaker 21: I do not take it for granted. Government has a 1381 01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:17,200 Speaker 21: role to play in ensuring we're disciplined about our own spending, 1382 01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:19,599 Speaker 21: and I think people will have to analyze very carefully 1383 01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:22,600 Speaker 21: the spending promises of other parties and consider what that 1384 01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:24,800 Speaker 21: might mean for inflation and interest rates. 1385 01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:27,400 Speaker 2: What did Anna Breeman say to you in her apology? 1386 01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:33,759 Speaker 21: Look, we had a discussion immediately after she signed the statement, 1387 01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:37,320 Speaker 21: and I reiterated to her that she should feel free 1388 01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:40,680 Speaker 21: to call me any time of day and that we 1389 01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:42,840 Speaker 21: will always ensure that she gets a broad range of 1390 01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:46,680 Speaker 21: advice on international matters. She did convey to me that 1391 01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:49,880 Speaker 21: she'd offered an apology to Winston Peters and that in 1392 01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:52,439 Speaker 21: future she would take exactly that course of action. She'd 1393 01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:53,840 Speaker 21: let me know and she'd seek advice. 1394 01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:55,000 Speaker 2: So was it naivety? 1395 01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:55,639 Speaker 10: Do you think. 1396 01:12:57,080 --> 01:12:59,800 Speaker 21: I think that she was in the urgency of a 1397 01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:02,400 Speaker 21: moment in which she had been asked to make a 1398 01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:05,960 Speaker 21: decision on a very late night phone call. And as 1399 01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:09,120 Speaker 21: I've said, I've just reiterated to her. Do not hesitate 1400 01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:11,320 Speaker 21: to give me a call. That's what New Zealand does 1401 01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:11,920 Speaker 21: expect from me. 1402 01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:14,040 Speaker 2: Why does it matter, though, shouldn't she? I mean, given 1403 01:13:14,080 --> 01:13:16,400 Speaker 2: the Reserve Bank is independent, why does she have to 1404 01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:18,080 Speaker 2: check in with the government to see if it's okay 1405 01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:18,360 Speaker 2: with you. 1406 01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:21,439 Speaker 21: It's not so much that she has to check in 1407 01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:23,479 Speaker 21: to see whether it's okay with me, it's that we 1408 01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:26,880 Speaker 21: need to be informed because anything we do or say 1409 01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:31,080 Speaker 21: internationally obviously has implications for ministers and the government as 1410 01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:33,720 Speaker 21: a whole, and it is also our job to make 1411 01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:36,160 Speaker 21: sure that she has access to all of the information 1412 01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:39,080 Speaker 21: and perspectives she might want it bear in mind when 1413 01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:41,599 Speaker 21: she's making that decision. I'm not sure that it would 1414 01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:43,920 Speaker 21: have led to a different decision or how she would 1415 01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:46,040 Speaker 21: affected it, but that's just good process. 1416 01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:46,360 Speaker 19: Jack. 1417 01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:50,479 Speaker 2: I know that many of your colleagues have spent a 1418 01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:52,800 Speaker 2: lot of time on the ground supporting the community. The 1419 01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:55,160 Speaker 2: Prime Minister was at the vigil at Mount Monganui last night. 1420 01:13:55,680 --> 01:13:58,200 Speaker 2: How have you found watching these awful events of the 1421 01:13:58,320 --> 01:13:59,240 Speaker 2: last few days. 1422 01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:04,720 Speaker 21: Just harrowing? I feel so deeply for the families involved. 1423 01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:08,479 Speaker 21: I've locked my kids in the eye several times over 1424 01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:11,840 Speaker 21: the last few days and just said, I just feel 1425 01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:15,840 Speaker 21: so grateful that you guys are okay, and I just 1426 01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:19,080 Speaker 21: feel so devastated for the parents and families who've lost 1427 01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:23,360 Speaker 21: loved ones and have gone through that awful period of 1428 01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:27,240 Speaker 21: not knowing and then getting the worst possible news. It's 1429 01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:29,719 Speaker 21: every family's worst nightmare. 1430 01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:33,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's hideous a and just to try and 1431 01:14:34,120 --> 01:14:37,439 Speaker 2: think for a moment about what those families must be experiencing. Obviously, 1432 01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:40,360 Speaker 2: the response there is the priority at the moment, but 1433 01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:42,960 Speaker 2: there are going to be never to be questions for 1434 01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:48,680 Speaker 2: various inquiries, but also questions about adaptation processes from here 1435 01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:52,200 Speaker 2: on out. Is it your sense at the moment that 1436 01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:58,800 Speaker 2: councils and landowners across the country have appropriately accounted for 1437 01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:02,439 Speaker 2: the landslip and land and slide risks that they may 1438 01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:05,600 Speaker 2: have in their property going forward, Well, I. 1439 01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:09,599 Speaker 21: Think there'll be a mixed response from region to region, 1440 01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:13,640 Speaker 21: council to council, and one of the aspects of our 1441 01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:17,519 Speaker 21: replacement for the Resource Management Act is giving much clearer 1442 01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:22,599 Speaker 21: national direction on how councils need to plan for hazards 1443 01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:25,680 Speaker 21: i e. Where they allow development to occur and what 1444 01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:29,360 Speaker 21: mitigations they take, so that work is going to be 1445 01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:35,120 Speaker 21: important because New Zealand can expect more extreme climatic events 1446 01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:40,320 Speaker 21: over the coming years, and so council and government and 1447 01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:42,640 Speaker 21: communities all have a role in preparing for that. 1448 01:15:43,320 --> 01:15:46,639 Speaker 2: Hey, we appreciate your time. Good luck tomorrow the day 1449 01:15:46,720 --> 01:15:48,479 Speaker 2: one of everyone being back.

Despite the pressure you've talked about from 1470 01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:44,280 Speaker 15: Prisident Trump, Fed's cut rates three times since September on 1471 01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:47,640 Speaker 15: the back of your week weeker US job markets. So 1472 01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:49,360 Speaker 15: the rates around three and a half to three point 1473 01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:52,479 Speaker 15: seventy five. But now we're seeing US growth, Lady, strong 1474 01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:55,720 Speaker 15: unemployment rate that's relad be low, inflation that's above the 1475 01:16:55,840 --> 01:16:58,960 Speaker 15: Fed's two percent target. So pause and rates kind of 1476 01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:02,040 Speaker 15: makes more sense than at the moment. But look, Jack, 1477 01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:04,960 Speaker 15: we're going to see mister Powell Chairpal come under more 1478 01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:08,160 Speaker 15: pressure from President Trump on this cut. He's going to 1479 01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:11,720 Speaker 15: have to defend defense independence again, but the economic data 1480 01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:14,120 Speaker 15: just doesn't support it. Sport cuts the moment. 1481 01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:17,320 Speaker 2: Well, it's been quite effective defending the independence the feed 1482 01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:18,800 Speaker 2: so far, and I think a lot of leaders are 1483 01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:20,720 Speaker 2: trying to take a bit of a leaf out of j. 1484 01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:22,760 Speaker 2: Powell's book at the moment. But be very interesting to 1485 01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:25,920 Speaker 2: see how we react this week. Of course, our latest 1486 01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:28,320 Speaker 2: inflation data was a bit higher than expected, just over 1487 01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:31,080 Speaker 2: three percent, so some of the forecasters are bringing forward 1488 01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:36,559 Speaker 2: expectations of an official rate increase in the fourth quarter 1489 01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:38,639 Speaker 2: of this year as opposed to Q one of twenty 1490 01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:41,200 Speaker 2: twenty seven. So how have investment markets reacted? 1491 01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:46,000 Speaker 15: Yeah, look, we've actually seen seen the markets are actually 1492 01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:49,599 Speaker 15: pricing a reserve bank rate increase by September twenty six 1493 01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:52,800 Speaker 15: now and actually see that official cash rate in three 1494 01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:55,760 Speaker 15: point one three percent in May twenty seven. In terms 1495 01:17:55,800 --> 01:17:58,320 Speaker 15: of what it's done for financial markets investment markets, we've 1496 01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:01,160 Speaker 15: see entrance rates pretty much move across the curve since 1497 01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:03,599 Speaker 15: that data is that. What that means is two year 1498 01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:05,479 Speaker 15: in New Zealand government bonds they're up to three point 1499 01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:08,439 Speaker 15: thirty five percent. Ten year new government bonds at four 1500 01:18:08,439 --> 01:18:10,720 Speaker 15: point sixty two, that's back to level was where they 1501 01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:13,400 Speaker 15: were back in July before the Reserve Bank in New 1502 01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:16,360 Speaker 15: Zealone really put its jandle down on cutting rates. What 1503 01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:17,840 Speaker 15: it means for you and Iijack is we're going to 1504 01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:21,120 Speaker 15: see high interest costs for the government, businesses concerners. We've 1505 01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:22,840 Speaker 15: also seen a bit of a sell off and add 1506 01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:25,280 Speaker 15: the more interest rates since it departs in Zeon Shear market, 1507 01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:29,160 Speaker 15: since that inflation is less today New Zeon Sear market 1508 01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:32,000 Speaker 15: was only as up zero point one percent, quite highly 1509 01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:35,519 Speaker 15: impacted trading, So not a lot CVR today, but certainly 1510 01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:37,040 Speaker 15: the market's been a little bit weak off the back 1511 01:18:37,040 --> 01:18:37,960 Speaker 15: of that higher inflation. 1512 01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:41,160 Speaker 2: Several commentators have called out a bit of a recovery 1513 01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:43,719 Speaker 2: in the New Zealand economy. They say it's begun, it's underway. 1514 01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:46,120 Speaker 2: What's coming up this week to support those expectations. 1515 01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:49,880 Speaker 15: Yeah, Later this week we've got the as New Zealand 1516 01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:53,240 Speaker 15: Business Conference and the AzID Activity Outlock for January that's 1517 01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:55,720 Speaker 15: out on Thursday, and we've also got the AINSID new 1518 01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:58,960 Speaker 15: zeon Consumer Confidence out on Friday that's for January as well. 1519 01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:01,240 Speaker 15: For both those sins of data, we've actually seen a 1520 01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:03,759 Speaker 15: bit of a reduction in what's called the now casting 1521 01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:07,439 Speaker 15: GDP forecasts for the fourth quarter and nin KAT is 1522 01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:10,040 Speaker 15: actually almost half jacked down to zero point five percent 1523 01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:12,719 Speaker 15: for the quarter from zero point nine, mainly on weaker 1524 01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:15,160 Speaker 15: cards spinning. So this ams in data that comes out 1525 01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:17,560 Speaker 15: Tuesday Friday, and it's going to be really important to 1526 01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:20,400 Speaker 15: give us a data point of for invested and for 1527 01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:22,840 Speaker 15: police and makers. Is to live in his own conoy 1528 01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:25,400 Speaker 15: is actually getting some traction or it's the sort of 1529 01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:28,559 Speaker 15: one step, two step forward and then one back widest improvement. 1530 01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:31,640 Speaker 2: So silver prices rose above US one hundred bucks an 1531 01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:33,439 Speaker 2: ounce for the first time ever on Friday. 1532 01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:37,680 Speaker 15: Why yeah, yeah, it was quite a stunning move. And 1533 01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:40,920 Speaker 15: silver actually has gone through one hundred and eight dollars 1534 01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:44,160 Speaker 15: today in Asian trading, and gold that's also gone through 1535 01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:46,400 Speaker 15: a record as well, gone to five thousand and seventy 1536 01:19:46,439 --> 01:19:50,000 Speaker 15: five dollars US announce.

So if she doesn't come, maybe we'll 1540 01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:03,240 Speaker 15: see a bit of back off. But certainly we've seen 1541 01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:08,400 Speaker 15: a bit more rolling of markets, with Japanese bonds particularly 1542 01:20:08,479 --> 01:20:10,320 Speaker 15: being a bit of a role. It's always actually up 1543 01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:12,920 Speaker 15: to two hundred percent in the past year. Is she's 1544 01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:15,519 Speaker 15: a bit of a challenge in terms of gaining morse, 1545 01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:18,479 Speaker 15: getting the scale to refine the metal and the supply 1546 01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:21,360 Speaker 15: sort of just so yeah, it's been on a long run. 1547 01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:26,160 Speaker 2: And finally Shane, Netflix tested its live ambition live streaming 1548 01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:29,799 Speaker 2: a skyscraper climb from one of the world's best rock climbers. 1549 01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:33,479 Speaker 2: One hundred and one stories.

There are lots of empty shops, the style 1623 01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:41,760 Speaker 17: of those shops not necessarily as good as you might be. 1624 01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:44,519 Speaker 17: There aren't as many cafes, a lot of them have closed. 1625 01:24:45,240 --> 01:24:49,479 Speaker 17: And it really isn't that attractive a place to go 1626 01:24:49,640 --> 01:24:50,559 Speaker 17: and visit anymore. 1627 01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:52,840 Speaker 2: I reckon it's better than it was a few years ago. 1628 01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:53,519 Speaker 2: Do you agree with that? 1629 01:24:54,439 --> 01:24:56,000 Speaker 17: Oh, it's better than it was a few years ago, 1630 01:24:56,120 --> 01:24:58,720 Speaker 17: But yeah, it certainly is not. 1631 01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:05,000 Speaker 2: It's not a huge dramatic difference. Yeah, yeah, no, get 1632 01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:08,200 Speaker 2: I get there. So if it's feeling a bit tired, 1633 01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:12,520 Speaker 2: what do you think is at the core of improving 1634 01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:13,080 Speaker 2: the CBD. 1635 01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:16,720 Speaker 17: Well, it's this little bit chicken and egg. I think 1636 01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:19,920 Speaker 17: one of the problems is that we're not getting the 1637 01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:23,920 Speaker 17: number of people coming into the city anymore. Now that's 1638 01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:27,200 Speaker 17: primarily because you've got things like working from home. You've 1639 01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:30,720 Speaker 17: got people have repositioned where their businesses are. So if 1640 01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:33,080 Speaker 17: you have a look in the CBD, there are a 1641 01:25:33,200 --> 01:25:39,559 Speaker 17: lot of empty office blocks. So because we haven't got 1642 01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:43,000 Speaker 17: the people coming in, that means that they're not shopping, 1643 01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:47,479 Speaker 17: they're not attending the cafes, and so the problem is 1644 01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:51,040 Speaker 17: lack of population. Now that the and this of course 1645 01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:54,759 Speaker 17: is where its advocates think that the CRL will probably 1646 01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:55,240 Speaker 17: help us. 1647 01:25:56,520 --> 01:25:59,560 Speaker 2: I mean, theoretically that should bring teams of thousands of 1648 01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:02,519 Speaker 2: people into the CBD. Then have of course assumes that 1649 01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:04,479 Speaker 2: they work in the CBD. And the point you made 1650 01:26:04,520 --> 01:26:07,000 Speaker 2: in the hider is that actually having people living in 1651 01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:10,720 Speaker 2: the CBD would mean that the demand for retail and 1652 01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:13,719 Speaker 2: hospitality was there on the ground already. 1653 01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:15,160 Speaker 11: That's right. 1654 01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:18,200 Speaker 17: So what we've done is we've built because we hand 1655 01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:21,320 Speaker 17: effectively a lot of the decisions about how our city 1656 01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:25,280 Speaker 17: operates in the day to the late lamented Auckland transport 1657 01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:29,160 Speaker 17: that was all about moving people around. It wasn't about 1658 01:26:29,800 --> 01:26:34,240 Speaker 17: why they came in. So if we're building something to 1659 01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:36,880 Speaker 17: bring people into the CBD, we have to ask the 1660 01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:39,559 Speaker 17: question is why are they making the trip? If they're 1661 01:26:39,640 --> 01:26:43,320 Speaker 17: not coming into work, they've got to come in for leisure. 1662 01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:49,479 Speaker 17: So your choices either, you know, bring more bring more 1663 01:26:49,560 --> 01:26:54,920 Speaker 17: people into the CBD by building the things that they 1664 01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:58,880 Speaker 17: want to come and see, or alternatively, have the people 1665 01:26:59,000 --> 01:26:59,799 Speaker 17: lived there already. 1666 01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:02,280 Speaker 2: And so one of the suggestions you've made is that 1667 01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:05,120 Speaker 2: we have a big showcase attraction. You look at the 1668 01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:09,280 Speaker 2: likes of Mona in Tasmania, for example, an art gallery 1669 01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:12,840 Speaker 2: of true international esteem and a claim that people travel 1670 01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:15,120 Speaker 2: from around the world to come and see something like 1671 01:27:15,200 --> 01:27:19,040 Speaker 2: that in Central Auckland. But what might be some other 1672 01:27:19,080 --> 01:27:21,559 Speaker 2: options for getting people to live in the CBD. Are 1673 01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:24,519 Speaker 2: there policy changes we could make that might intensify some 1674 01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:26,639 Speaker 2: of the apartment blocks and things. 1675 01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:28,640 Speaker 16: Yeah, well I think there is. 1676 01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:33,000 Speaker 17: I think you could look at the underutilized office box. 1677 01:27:33,080 --> 01:27:35,839 Speaker 17: I actually have an apartment in the center of CBD 1678 01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:38,160 Speaker 17: on top of an office block where I think there 1679 01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:40,519 Speaker 17: are two floors of that office block that have people 1680 01:27:40,600 --> 01:27:44,240 Speaker 17: in the offices. If you could actually then encourage people 1681 01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:48,960 Speaker 17: to develop those buildings You've seen it with the cab 1682 01:27:49,080 --> 01:27:53,120 Speaker 17: building for example, in to a square. If you can 1683 01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:57,560 Speaker 17: actually convert those two apartments, you could actually do that 1684 01:27:57,680 --> 01:28:00,840 Speaker 17: of two types. One more luxury ones if you want, 1685 01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:04,519 Speaker 17: but actually more affordable housing. So what we're doing is 1686 01:28:04,640 --> 01:28:09,639 Speaker 17: creating intensive housing in the burbs to and then hoping 1687 01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:12,320 Speaker 17: to move people to the center. Why don't we just 1688 01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:13,800 Speaker 17: build them in the center? 1689 01:28:14,040 --> 01:28:14,240 Speaker 11: Yeah? 1690 01:28:14,360 --> 01:28:17,439 Speaker 2: Right, And again one of your suggestions, and this might 1691 01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:19,680 Speaker 2: be a bit controversial, is that councils have a use 1692 01:28:19,720 --> 01:28:22,240 Speaker 2: it or Lose it law, So basically they can put 1693 01:28:22,280 --> 01:28:24,400 Speaker 2: a bit of pressure on developers not just to land 1694 01:28:24,479 --> 01:28:27,080 Speaker 2: bank and sit on empty or under used properties, but 1695 01:28:27,160 --> 01:28:28,120 Speaker 2: do we actually get moving? 1696 01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:31,760 Speaker 17: Well, that's right. I think in the Herald a few 1697 01:28:32,240 --> 01:28:34,880 Speaker 17: weeks ago that someone went around and counting them. I 1698 01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:37,559 Speaker 17: think there are fourteen in the center. But you think 1699 01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:41,640 Speaker 17: about how many development sites that have been left for 1700 01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:47,920 Speaker 17: years because we've not been able to find a way 1701 01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:51,760 Speaker 17: to utilize these things. Because actually the natural solution is 1702 01:28:51,840 --> 01:28:54,280 Speaker 17: to build an office block. But if you don't need 1703 01:28:54,360 --> 01:28:57,280 Speaker 17: an office block, think about something else. 1704 01:28:57,520 --> 01:29:00,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, How do you think developers would that? 1705 01:29:01,960 --> 01:29:03,760 Speaker 17: I sort of don't care. I mean, at the end 1706 01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:07,439 Speaker 17: of the day, land banking doesn't help the city, but 1707 01:29:07,600 --> 01:29:10,080 Speaker 17: it means if they can't think of a suitable way 1708 01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:14,240 Speaker 17: to utilize the property, then maybe they might sell it 1709 01:29:14,320 --> 01:29:16,280 Speaker 17: to somebody who wants to get on and do it. 1710 01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:18,960 Speaker 17: What I was suggesting in the article was a simple 1711 01:29:19,080 --> 01:29:21,240 Speaker 17: thing that, by the way, that if you do have 1712 01:29:21,360 --> 01:29:23,080 Speaker 17: a development site, you've got to turn it into a 1713 01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:28,680 Speaker 17: proper park for the intervening period rather than another car 1714 01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:32,160 Speaker 17: park or just an area of Tarmact wasteland. 1715 01:29:32,320 --> 01:29:34,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I like that idea in theory. You know, 1716 01:29:35,080 --> 01:29:38,200 Speaker 2: if it would mean more public space, it would make 1717 01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:40,519 Speaker 2: it presumably more attractive for the people who do live 1718 01:29:40,600 --> 01:29:44,080 Speaker 2: in the CBD. And what would what would be the 1719 01:29:44,160 --> 01:29:47,120 Speaker 2: requirements of those public parks? Do you think in green space? 1720 01:29:48,160 --> 01:29:50,640 Speaker 17: Yeah, I'm thinking green space and let's face it, this 1721 01:29:50,760 --> 01:29:54,000 Speaker 17: time with real grass rather than I think we've built 1722 01:29:54,040 --> 01:29:56,640 Speaker 17: a few of these parks, certainly the one at the 1723 01:29:56,640 --> 01:29:59,040 Speaker 17: bottom end of Queen Street across from us it's got 1724 01:29:59,120 --> 01:30:01,160 Speaker 17: you know, plastic gros. It's very enticing. 1725 01:30:01,720 --> 01:30:05,120 Speaker 2: When do you make of the decisions that council and 1726 01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:07,880 Speaker 2: organ transport and policy makers have made when it comes 1727 01:30:07,920 --> 01:30:09,080 Speaker 2: to cars and the CBD. 1728 01:30:11,439 --> 01:30:13,560 Speaker 17: Look, at the end of the day, the difficulty is 1729 01:30:13,600 --> 01:30:16,920 Speaker 17: if you don't if you don't have solutions, And I 1730 01:30:17,040 --> 01:30:25,799 Speaker 17: think the recent situation with the concerts at Mount Smart 1731 01:30:25,920 --> 01:30:29,800 Speaker 17: where you know there is no public transport really available 1732 01:30:29,840 --> 01:30:33,240 Speaker 17: to move people around. So I can understand this argument, 1733 01:30:33,479 --> 01:30:36,040 Speaker 17: let us build public transport and then we make it 1734 01:30:36,280 --> 01:30:39,040 Speaker 17: easier for people to move around. But the problem is 1735 01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:43,000 Speaker 17: on public transport doesn't really work and it doesn't really 1736 01:30:43,200 --> 01:30:47,640 Speaker 17: go to the places that we want. Classic one was 1737 01:30:47,760 --> 01:30:50,840 Speaker 17: that concert you could get into the CBD, but nobody 1738 01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:54,639 Speaker 17: thought to connect the buses from the stadium with buses 1739 01:30:54,760 --> 01:30:57,600 Speaker 17: going to the north Shore. So until you actually have 1740 01:30:57,720 --> 01:31:01,799 Speaker 17: a comprehensive solution, at the end of the day, Auckland 1741 01:31:01,960 --> 01:31:04,080 Speaker 17: is a city that needs cars. 1742 01:31:04,720 --> 01:31:08,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And would you say that the balance 1743 01:31:08,320 --> 01:31:12,120 Speaker 2: has shifted in favor of pedestrians and cyclists too much 1744 01:31:12,160 --> 01:31:12,719 Speaker 2: in the CBD. 1745 01:31:14,280 --> 01:31:17,640 Speaker 17: I think it's shifted, yeah, too much. One of the 1746 01:31:17,800 --> 01:31:21,200 Speaker 17: difficulties and you can see it in the CRL paper. 1747 01:31:21,400 --> 01:31:23,400 Speaker 17: You could see it also in the one that they 1748 01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:28,680 Speaker 17: did on cycle ways that the council comes up or 1749 01:31:28,920 --> 01:31:32,920 Speaker 17: Open Transport came up with these fantastic things. I mean, 1750 01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:35,880 Speaker 17: this one has got you know, the number of benefits 1751 01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:41,760 Speaker 17: that will accrue to Auckland, as my particular favorite is 1752 01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:46,759 Speaker 17: one point six billion in reliability benefits. So you're saying that, actually, 1753 01:31:46,760 --> 01:31:48,600 Speaker 17: if you just make the buses run in time on 1754 01:31:48,680 --> 01:31:51,320 Speaker 17: the trains from that time, we'd have actually picked up 1755 01:31:51,360 --> 01:31:55,599 Speaker 17: one point six billion without building a CRL. That's the problem. 1756 01:31:55,800 --> 01:32:01,840 Speaker 17: A lot of this is fabricated numbers. What we actually 1757 01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:07,479 Speaker 17: need is real world policies to understand how you bring 1758 01:32:07,640 --> 01:32:10,920 Speaker 17: people into a city, how you make them move around, 1759 01:32:11,520 --> 01:32:14,840 Speaker 17: not just simply playing to ideology. 1760 01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:17,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh very interesting. Hey, thanks to Andrew. We always 1761 01:32:18,280 --> 01:32:22,320 Speaker 2: appreciate the way you consider these problems and appreciate your 1762 01:32:22,320 --> 01:32:24,120 Speaker 2: thoughts of evening.

The plan 1778 01:33:08,520 --> 01:33:12,280 Speaker 22: could have an impact worldwide, according to politicians the governments 1779 01:33:12,280 --> 01:33:14,960 Speaker 22: say here. The National Police Service, as it will be called, 1780 01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:18,040 Speaker 22: will bring together world class talent and state of the 1781 01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:21,479 Speaker 22: art technology to fight national and international crimes such as terrorism, 1782 01:33:21,560 --> 01:33:24,080 Speaker 22: fraud and organized crime. The aims it will work with 1783 01:33:24,120 --> 01:33:25,560 Speaker 22: police forces worldwide. 1784 01:33:25,920 --> 01:33:26,040 Speaker 11: Now. 1785 01:33:26,080 --> 01:33:28,360 Speaker 22: The National Police Service will be run by a Police Commissioner, 1786 01:33:28,360 --> 01:33:31,000 Speaker 22: who will become the most senior police chief in Britain. 1787 01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:34,000 Speaker 22: It will set standards and training for police forces and 1788 01:33:34,120 --> 01:33:38,080 Speaker 22: require new technology such as facial recognition cameras, a controversial 1789 01:33:38,160 --> 01:33:41,040 Speaker 22: move that has provoked fierce criticism over its impact on 1790 01:33:41,160 --> 01:33:42,920 Speaker 22: privacy and human rights. 1791 01:33:43,800 --> 01:33:45,479 Speaker 2: It's going to be very interesting to see how that 1792 01:33:45,880 --> 01:33:48,680 Speaker 2: works and the which it'll be working with. It's international, 1793 01:33:50,240 --> 01:33:53,439 Speaker 2: you know, sister and brother organizations. And a major political 1794 01:33:53,479 --> 01:33:55,479 Speaker 2: story in the UK is the blocking of a Labor 1795 01:33:55,560 --> 01:33:57,280 Speaker 2: politician from standing in a by election. 1796 01:33:58,720 --> 01:33:58,920 Speaker 11: Yeah. 1797 01:33:58,960 --> 01:34:01,040 Speaker 22: Now his name is and D Burnham, and he's been 1798 01:34:01,080 --> 01:34:04,080 Speaker 22: blocked from standing as a candidate for an upcoming parliamentary 1799 01:34:04,200 --> 01:34:07,000 Speaker 22: by election, that is, by the body that rules our 1800 01:34:07,120 --> 01:34:10,880 Speaker 22: Labor Party. Now this is highly significant because it's widely 1801 01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:14,280 Speaker 22: thought that Andy Burnham's name could get elected to the 1802 01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:16,280 Speaker 22: House of If he were elected to the House of Commons, 1803 01:34:16,560 --> 01:34:19,959 Speaker 22: could become a serious challenger to Prime Minister Keir Starmer. 1804 01:34:20,360 --> 01:34:22,639 Speaker 22: Burnham is currently mayor of Manchester, one of our biggest 1805 01:34:22,640 --> 01:34:25,080 Speaker 22: cities in the north of the country, and said on 1806 01:34:25,280 --> 01:34:28,400 Speaker 22: Saturday he wanted to stand in the election being held 1807 01:34:28,520 --> 01:34:31,719 Speaker 22: locally as a former MP and government minister, but because 1808 01:34:31,760 --> 01:34:34,479 Speaker 22: of his current role, he needs approval from Labour's National 1809 01:34:34,560 --> 01:34:38,519 Speaker 22: Executive Committee to stand and they have said no. Labour 1810 01:34:38,560 --> 01:34:41,360 Speaker 22: say the party decided to deny Burnham permission to stand 1811 01:34:41,640 --> 01:34:46,160 Speaker 22: to avoid unnecessary mayoral election, which would use substantial amounts 1812 01:34:46,160 --> 01:34:49,400 Speaker 22: of taxpayers money better they say, spent on backing the 1813 01:34:49,520 --> 01:34:52,439 Speaker 22: cost of living crisis. The cost of that election could 1814 01:34:52,520 --> 01:34:53,799 Speaker 22: be ten million dollars. 1815 01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:57,800 Speaker 2: Ah very interesting because I've seen him and heard him 1816 01:34:57,800 --> 01:35:00,160 Speaker 2: speaking a few times. He's a very effective commit a 1817 01:35:00,240 --> 01:35:03,040 Speaker 2: Keda Andy Burnham. So I'm not sure that it's necessarily 1818 01:35:03,080 --> 01:35:05,679 Speaker 2: the right strategy, especially given the fact that Keir Starmer 1819 01:35:05,800 --> 01:35:08,000 Speaker 2: was one of those who voted to block them. But 1820 01:35:08,080 --> 01:35:11,040 Speaker 2: there's a route over a statue for the late Queen Elizabeth. 1821 01:35:11,160 --> 01:35:12,040 Speaker 2: Tell us about that much? 1822 01:35:12,240 --> 01:35:15,799 Speaker 22: Yes, yes, yes, indeed, well up to one hundred million 1823 01:35:15,880 --> 01:35:18,640 Speaker 22: dollars is to be spent on a massive statue to 1824 01:35:18,720 --> 01:35:22,559 Speaker 22: remember Queen Elizabeth, funded by the UK government. It's been 1825 01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:25,439 Speaker 22: revealed it will feature her standing rather than sitting on 1826 01:35:25,600 --> 01:35:29,080 Speaker 22: horseback as previously made public. Now the memorial will be 1827 01:35:29,439 --> 01:35:32,560 Speaker 22: on a tiara shaped glass bridge, can you believe, and 1828 01:35:32,640 --> 01:35:34,920 Speaker 22: will be built in Saint James's Park in central London, 1829 01:35:34,960 --> 01:35:38,559 Speaker 22: which is near to Buckingham Palace. But not everybody is happy. 1830 01:35:39,320 --> 01:35:41,439 Speaker 22: The cost of the project has been criticized by the 1831 01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:44,880 Speaker 22: anti monarchy group Republic, who said the Royal should pay 1832 01:35:44,960 --> 01:35:48,040 Speaker 22: for the monument themselves rather than the government out of 1833 01:35:48,120 --> 01:35:51,240 Speaker 22: public funds. King Charles has been kept informed of the 1834 01:35:51,320 --> 01:35:55,479 Speaker 22: plans and consulted on the development, which the final design 1835 01:35:55,600 --> 01:35:58,320 Speaker 22: to be made public in April to coincide with one 1836 01:35:58,400 --> 01:36:00,320 Speaker 22: hundred years of the late queen'sper. 1837 01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:03,439 Speaker 2: Well, if the government is so concerned about the cost 1838 01:36:03,520 --> 01:36:07,280 Speaker 2: of living and introducing policies to take the cost of 1839 01:36:07,360 --> 01:36:10,640 Speaker 2: living that they won't let Andy Burnham stand as an MP, 1840 01:36:11,080 --> 01:36:14,320 Speaker 2: surely spending one hundred million pounds or one hundred million 1841 01:36:14,360 --> 01:36:16,919 Speaker 2: dollars on a statue might be somewhat excessive. 1842 01:36:18,560 --> 01:36:20,560 Speaker 22: Well, absolutely right, And I think that certainly was the 1843 01:36:20,600 --> 01:36:24,240 Speaker 22: comment here, you know, within the last few hours, people 1844 01:36:24,320 --> 01:36:26,920 Speaker 22: sort of saying, you know, at the actual cost of 1845 01:36:26,960 --> 01:36:30,479 Speaker 22: that mayoral election in Manchester, he's actually, you know, really 1846 01:36:30,560 --> 01:36:34,240 Speaker 22: small money compared to the billions in the government's annual 1847 01:36:34,280 --> 01:36:37,960 Speaker 22: budget there. So I think, yeah, highly controversial and I 1848 01:36:38,040 --> 01:36:40,439 Speaker 22: think both of those issus will rage on here for 1849 01:36:40,520 --> 01:36:40,880 Speaker 22: some time. 1850 01:36:41,080 --> 01:36:44,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, Robbie Williams has a new record of notes. So 1851 01:36:44,400 --> 01:36:48,160 Speaker 2: how's he celebrated, would you believe? 1852 01:36:48,280 --> 01:36:52,720 Speaker 22: Yes, indeed he entered the European Music Record books over 1853 01:36:52,760 --> 01:36:55,720 Speaker 22: the weekend by having more number one albums than any 1854 01:36:55,840 --> 01:36:59,960 Speaker 22: other artist. Now for some time he'd had sixteen charts oppers, 1855 01:37:00,160 --> 01:37:03,200 Speaker 22: the same as the Beatles. Now his latest album, which 1856 01:37:03,280 --> 01:37:06,240 Speaker 22: is called Britpop, shot to number one at the weekend, 1857 01:37:06,320 --> 01:37:09,960 Speaker 22: increasing his lead by one to seventeen. If Keith's course, 1858 01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:11,880 Speaker 22: he is one of the best selling artists of all time, 1859 01:37:12,200 --> 01:37:16,920 Speaker 22: selling around seventy five million records. He recently revealed plans 1860 01:37:16,960 --> 01:37:19,639 Speaker 22: to tour Australia and New Zealand later in the year, 1861 01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:22,000 Speaker 22: with details still to be announced, but we expect that 1862 01:37:22,160 --> 01:37:25,400 Speaker 22: possibly within a few days time. He last toured both 1863 01:37:25,439 --> 01:37:28,200 Speaker 22: countries in twenty twenty three. Of course, he shot a 1864 01:37:28,240 --> 01:37:30,439 Speaker 22: famous part of the boy band Take That, who formed 1865 01:37:30,479 --> 01:37:34,200 Speaker 22: in nineteen ninety. Williams left the group five years later, 1866 01:37:34,360 --> 01:37:37,560 Speaker 22: admitting to drink and drug problems. He went on to 1867 01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:40,840 Speaker 22: have a solo career, touring the world to sell out performances. 1868 01:37:41,160 --> 01:37:44,599 Speaker 22: Now across the world that the globe, he's only beaten 1869 01:37:44,640 --> 01:37:47,840 Speaker 22: by Beatles Paul McCartney in selling more albums today. Robbie 1870 01:37:47,840 --> 01:37:50,240 Speaker 22: Williams is fifty one years old. He says to be 1871 01:37:50,320 --> 01:37:52,840 Speaker 22: worth half a billion dollars would you believe, and he's 1872 01:37:52,880 --> 01:37:56,280 Speaker 22: married with four children. He's currently on holiday in France, 1873 01:37:56,320 --> 01:37:59,320 Speaker 22: where he said he celebrated his chart topping success with 1874 01:37:59,520 --> 01:38:03,120 Speaker 22: now Wait for This, A Coke zero and a salad. 1875 01:38:03,400 --> 01:38:07,960 Speaker 2: How times for him have changed very much? Is that funny? 1876 01:38:08,120 --> 01:38:08,479 Speaker 10: He said? 1877 01:38:08,560 --> 01:38:10,880 Speaker 2: So much success and you compare with Paul McCartney and 1878 01:38:10,880 --> 01:38:12,839 Speaker 2: the Beatles there, I mean the Beatles made in America. 1879 01:38:13,600 --> 01:38:16,240 Speaker 2: Paul and Robbie Williams never did. But you can have 1880 01:38:16,320 --> 01:38:18,400 Speaker 2: all of those chart toppers and you still haven't cracked 1881 01:38:18,400 --> 01:38:20,320 Speaker 2: the US. It's a funny old world, isn't it. Not 1882 01:38:20,479 --> 01:38:22,880 Speaker 2: that he's too concern with your savve. He's worth half 1883 01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:24,920 Speaker 2: a billion dollars. I think you can probably afford a 1884 01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:28,680 Speaker 2: few more celebratory coke zeros and salads and the like 1885 01:38:29,040 --> 01:38:31,760 Speaker 2: during this holiday in France.
