It's eight 24 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 3: after four. Say what you like about Donald Trump. Donald 25 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 3: makes things happen. He's a disruptor, he's a change merchant, 26 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 3: and he's had a phone call with Vladimir Putin. On 27 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 3: the phone call yesterday, they rubbed each other's tummies, they 28 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 3: scratched each other's backs, they told each other how great 29 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 3: they are. And then they discussed peace in Ukraine, a 30 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 3: war that Donald Trump says would never have happened if 31 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 3: he was in charge. And after that conversation, the US 32 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 3: Defense Secretary and the President I talked about Ukraine and 33 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 3: they announced that Ukraine would have to give up land 34 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 3: to Russia in any peace deal. Now that is a 35 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 3: change in US policy, and that is because of a 36 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 3: change in administration, and that's Donald Trump. Zelonsky has now 37 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 3: said he's open to it swap. But you know that 38 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 3: the land head swapped is not necessarily the land Russia wants, 39 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 3: you know, that land with all the natural resources. So 40 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 3: there's the negotiation to get through. It is true that 41 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 3: some Ukrainians would like to be Russian, and it's certainly 42 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 3: true that most Ukrainians want to be Ukrainian. Any deal 43 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 3: has to respect those two positions. But everyone knows the 44 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 3: war has to stop. Too many have died. It's estimated 45 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 3: there have been one hundred and twenty thousand deaths in 46 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 3: the combat, one hundred and eighty thousand injured. The Russian 47 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 3: numbers dwarf the Ukrainian officials there say seventy thousand Russians killed, 48 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 3: up to one hundred and twenty thousand wounded. So much death, 49 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 3: so much death, which I find hard to imagine in 50 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 3: this day and age. So bring on peace. But one 51 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 3: day there has to be an accounting, and Vladimir Putin 52 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 3: needs to know that blood is on his hands because 53 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 3: he started it and he'll have to end it too. 54 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 3: Andrew dickens it is now ten after four our car 55 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 3: insurance premiums have got so expensive that some people are 56 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 3: looking at switching to third party only. According to data 57 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 3: from insurance comparison website Quashed Comprehensive car insurance quotes have 58 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 3: gone up in price by forty one percent. That's in 59 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 3: just two years. And while there hasn't yet been a 60 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 3: mass switch to third party only policies yet, inquiries about 61 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 3: third party insurance are up forty six percent, so we're 62 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 3: thinking about it. Chris Partfoy is the Insurance Council Chief 63 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 3: executive and joins you now, Hello, Chris. 64 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 4: Good afternoon, Andrew. 65 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 3: So why are the premiums going up so much? 66 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 4: I love with a number of factors. I think people 67 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 4: are driving home this afternoon. I've cars are driving around 68 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 4: have been born in the last ten years, moving computers, 69 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 4: is a lot more electronics and modern cars and as 70 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,119 Speaker 4: a result, you know, they can be more expensive to fix. 71 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 4: I think bumpers are one of the most expensive expensive 72 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 4: things suffix with the likes of censers and cameras that 73 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 4: you have in back as the backs of cars these days. 74 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 4: And it does depend on the individual situation. You know, 75 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 4: the cost of the car, who's driving it, where you're 76 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 4: parking it, where you are that they are all factors. 77 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 4: But you know there's becoming more expensive to ensure them 78 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 4: because the cars are you know, fixing them. Fixing them 79 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 4: is more complete. 80 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 3: If somebody brought in us because we always get their suspicion. 81 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 3: You know, when you have to pay a fortune for 82 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 3: a light bulb. You go, someone's clipping the ticket. 83 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 4: I look up weird knowledge, you know, just not with 84 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 4: just insurance that everyone's finding un paying the bills more difficult. 85 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 4: The stats that you quite said are interesting, but you know, 86 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 4: the big picture steps. Indeed, last year said that vehicle 87 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 4: insurance inflation is coming back from about klaster twenty percent 88 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 4: twelve months ago at the end of last year to 89 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 4: fifteen percent, so it's heading in the right direction. But 90 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 4: you know, things are becoming more challenging in terms of 91 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 4: fixing the vehicles. So I'm sure as they're doing things 92 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 4: like trying to you know, bring costs down when they 93 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 4: are repairing vehicles, like you know, extablishing hubs where they 94 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 4: can fix these vehicles to try and bring down costs, 95 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 4: and trying to get costs stuff from supplies to you. 96 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 4: So they all trying their best to keep the pressure down. 97 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 5: That's it. 98 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 3: The premiums keep going up. So people making the choice 99 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 3: to drive around uninsured. 100 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 4: I like, we hope they're not because that's putting them 101 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 4: in others at risk. We'll always say people should shop 102 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 4: around and make sure that they've got the right insurance policy. 103 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 4: For them whether the excess is right. But as most 104 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 4: people would know, if you move away from comprehensive coverage 105 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 4: to third party, you're not covered in terms of their 106 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 4: own vehicle. The third party, the person that you might 107 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 4: do some damage, is covered, but it obviously leaves you 108 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 4: at the risk of having to find the money to 109 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 4: replace the vehicle yourself. So we understand that people are 110 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 4: I find the things difficult. 111 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 6: But first thing. 112 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 4: First they should probably go to the insurance company and 113 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 4: find out what they can do to make sure that 114 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 4: they can make it work for them. 115 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 3: So the insurance companies are bargainable. 116 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, I think you know when they are a members. 117 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 4: But one thing the insurance council would say is shop around. 118 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 4: I've certainly seen examples of that myself where people have 119 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 4: shopped around and able to get a bit of deal. 120 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 4: So you know, it's a pretty competitive market. You should 121 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 4: be able to ring around competitors of your parent insurance 122 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 4: insurer and I find out if someone can do a 123 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 4: bit of deal. 124 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 3: Okay, So more and more people are looking at the 125 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 3: party insurance. I don't know if more and more people 126 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 3: are taking it up, but here is a perennial talkback question. 127 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 3: Should third party insurance actually be compulsory? Because until you've 128 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 3: been running too by some dude who hasn't got insurance, 129 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 3: you don't know how frustrating it can be. 130 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 4: Well, okay, it is a perennial, but it's got some 131 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 4: barbes here and there. If you do make it compulsory, 132 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 4: then you know, what price does someone pay for whose 133 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 4: low risk driver as opposed to a high risk driver. 134 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 4: You know, if the government was looking to you know, 135 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 4: capping that in low risk drivers would end up subsidizing 136 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 4: high risk drivers. We've got pretty good coverage in terms 137 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 4: of comprehensive coverage vehicle coverage in New Zealand, so we 138 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 4: understand and respect that, but you know, the ras and 139 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 4: fishooks and going to a third party. You know, some 140 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 4: other countries do have third party insurance that's compulsory, but 141 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 4: they don't have the acest that we meet with body 142 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 4: because that's our own body and if you have an 143 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 4: accident here in his giving to covered by a SEC. 144 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 4: So we've got the the you know, the added advantage 145 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 4: of having the athecy assistant therefore the bodily harm. 146 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 3: Okay, good, thank you. Chris Farafoy, who's from the Insurance 147 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 3: Council as the question exists, should we have third party 148 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 3: insurance compulsory insurance so you can text in your thoughts? 149 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,679 Speaker 3: Ninety two, ninety two.

And now Alexander Usik is talking 174 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 3: about it. 175 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 7: Well, it's an IBF title fights and they're going to 176 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 7: fight for that, and then whoever wins that gets the fight, 177 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,079 Speaker 7: because is going to retire in a couple of fights. 178 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 3: And Rusik has said that, he said, I will fight 179 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 3: the winner of Bois Parker. 180 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 5: That's the right. And then of course he'll put his 181 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 5: belts on the line too, which he meant had to 182 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 5: let go of the IBF belt because he wasn't going 183 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 5: to front up against the next contender because he wanted 184 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 5: to fight and beat up Tyson. 185 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 3: Fury to make money. 186 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, granted when it would make him a huge amount 187 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 5: of money. 188 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 7: And now he can retire quite happy at thirty eight 189 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 7: thirty nine, whenever he retires. What it means though, these 190 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 7: two guys have got a chance to get this undisputed, 191 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 7: this reunification going on again. That's a massive But, like 192 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 7: Joseph Parker said to Dubois, because Dubois and a press 193 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 7: conference was talking about, you know, my next fight, my 194 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 7: next fight, and where I'm going, park a slight mate. 195 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 7: I'd focus on what you got right in front of you. 196 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 7: I wouldn't get too like concerned about that because it's 197 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 7: one other time. 198 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 3: But when Dubois beat Joshua, he knew that he was 199 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 3: going to do Joshua again, except Joshua went, I don't 200 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 3: want to do that again. 201 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 5: You know. 202 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 3: So he's been he's been in a training schedule. Joseph 203 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 3: has kind of been in a training schedule, but he's 204 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 3: still he got the late notice, So yeah, he might 205 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 3: be the most concentrated on the next fight. But you know, Dubois. 206 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 3: Never underestimate Dubois. He's got fists of grantite, the. 207 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 7: One he has until he fought Joe Joyce, and Joe 208 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 7: Joyce just jabbed as I for five rounds and it 209 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 7: wasn't eight rounds and then as I exploded and that 210 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 7: was all over. 211 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 3: And Joseph Parker beat Joe Joyce. Yes, and he also 212 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 3: lost to Joe Joyce. He lost to Joe Joyce, and 213 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 3: so he didn't beat him. He got that was his 214 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 3: one two was a third defeat. I think it was 215 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 3: for Joe Parker. The difference in Joe Parker mentally and 216 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 3: physically aimed his position in life right now. He's matured 217 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 3: hugely as an athlete and a person. And the way 218 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 3: he pulled apart Jan and the way he demolished Dante Wilder, 219 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 3: the way he paced his fight, and with this new 220 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 3: nutritionist who's is an ex US marine. 221 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,599 Speaker 5: Guy, I mean, he's quite something else. So strength and 222 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 5: conditioning is huge. New coach is huge. I like what 223 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 5: he's doing. Should he get to usick, But first and 224 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 5: foremost the weekend of its time, he's got to get 225 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 5: passed through by and that will be fireworks. That's going 226 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 5: to be a great fight. 227 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,599 Speaker 3: And in fact, I see the press all over the 228 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,559 Speaker 3: world is starting to say this should be the headline fight. 229 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 2: It's not. 230 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 3: It's the second on the car, second to the last 231 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 3: on the card. It should be the headline fight. It's 232 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,559 Speaker 3: going to be a cracker and a new Zealander is 233 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 3: in it, and that is great now, look new rugby 234 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 3: league teams.

Look, I wish them the best, 254 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 7: but the Landers wanted nothing to do with the three 255 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 7: South Islands bids, and so why would this be any different? 256 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 3: Nothing ventured, nothing, no, absolutely, but it's that's. 257 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 5: A hard fight. I think they don't want to have 258 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 5: it at even part. Wayne Brown is pretty keen on it. 259 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 5: Fredick Boy's being behind it too. 260 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 7: You've got a number of people who want it to happen, 261 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 7: but like, will it actually happen? 262 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 3: Well, we can make our minds up tonight because you're 263 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 3: talking to this fellow that you only just remember the 264 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 3: name of Jeff Brown.

Off with compulsory insurance. It's compulsory 277 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 3: overseas with big penalties. So keep our premium down and 278 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 3: make it compulsory, Chris writes regarding third party compulsory car insurance. 279 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 3: All the insurance companies in New Zealand have lobbied the 280 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 3: government for years against making it compulsory through car registration 281 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 3: because it would cut their profits. Is as simple as that. 282 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 3: Ask any insurance agent and they will tell you the same. 283 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 3: Thank you, Chris. Paul says every country has full compulsory insurance. 284 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 3: We could at least, and we should have at least 285 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 3: third party. And Lart says we should have compulsory insurance 286 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 3: for the person, not the vehicle. The more speeding tickets, crashes, 287 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 3: drink driving charges you have, the higher the premium. If 288 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 3: you don't have insurance, your car is impounded and sold. 289 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 3: After five years of no issues, you dropped back to 290 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 3: the base premium rate. It would get all the unsafe 291 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 3: vehicles off the road and maybe some of the unsafe 292 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 3: drivers as well. So I've got some thoughts about this. 293 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 3: I've always had strong thoughts about this, and I'll tell 294 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 3: you that in about an hour's time. But still to 295 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 3: carme Murray Olds in Australia.

You just heard take it to 307 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 3: Peris on our news. What did you think of that 308 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 3: he believed His apology, which was presented entirely until day 309 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 3: of Maori, means more in Maori than anyone would know. 310 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 3: But I have a proverb for taketa fadas Ever, a 311 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 3: tree falls in a forest, but nobody is there to 312 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 3: hear or see it fall. Did it really fall? Takeata? 313 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 3: And what language did you use to make the statements 314 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 3: that you needed to apologize for? Taketa? So anyway, Barry 315 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 3: Soopa is joining us at about a quarter two to 316 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 3: talk about that it's a big story. I got to 317 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 3: Murray Olds very shortly. Barry might also talk about Nichola Willis, 318 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 3: who opened the Economics Forum in Hamilton today. She targeted 319 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 3: an increasing competition at the banking, grocery and electricity sectors. 320 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 3: Three bug bears that we always complained about labour grapple 321 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 3: with grocery competition. What did we get? A grocery commissioner, 322 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 3: very good at talking about the problem, powerless to affect 323 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 3: any real change anyway. Nikola wants to get shoppers a 324 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 3: fairer deal, but no announcements made. She reckons she could 325 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 3: iron out some regulatory hurdles to help players access land. 326 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 3: We've heard this before in banking. We have four banks, 327 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 3: shouldn't there already be competition? And the gent tailor's This 328 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 3: whole electricity system is a system that Naturial put in 329 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 3: place in the first place to ensure competition. So what 330 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 3: are you going to do? 331 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 6: So? 332 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, we wait to see. Anyway. Looking at the forum's agenda, 333 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 3: there's one glaring omission that they're not talking about, and 334 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 3: it's corporate tax rates and tax incentives for foreign investments. 335 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 3: And surely that's the sort of thing that we need 336 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 3: to talk about now if we want some tangible growth, growth, growth, growth, 337 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 3: growth sometime in the near future. It is twenty three 338 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 3: to five. 339 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 2: It's the world wires on youth talks. They'd be drive. 340 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 3: As I mentioned at the top of the program, President 341 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 3: Donald Trump has had phone calls with President Putin of 342 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 3: Russia and President Zelonsky of Ukraine, the President three way. 343 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 3: He says the calls were productive. He expects to meet 344 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 3: Putin in Saudi Arabia for cease fire negotiations. Here is 345 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 3: President Trump. 346 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,360 Speaker 9: I think they have to make peace. That people are 347 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 9: being killed, and I think they have to make peace. 348 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 9: Will I said that was not a good war to 349 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 9: go into, and I think they have to make peace. 350 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 2: That's what I think. 351 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 3: That is what he thinks, and we'll find out. The 352 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 3: two Western Sydney nurses that spoke about killing Israeli patients 353 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 3: have had a meeting with police. Police have also asked 354 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 3: the Israeli influencer who was the other side of that 355 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 3: video chat with the nurses to hand in the full 356 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 3: record of the conversation. And here is what that influencer 357 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 3: had to say after the video hit the news. 358 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 2: I hope they've opened their eyes a little bit, so. 359 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 10: This tremendous anti Semitism that is going on in their country. 360 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 11: And finally I'm okay, this is Taylor. 361 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 3: I believe that not. This is about a breeding program. 362 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 3: It's in British Columbia, Canada, trying to save the spotted 363 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 3: owl from extinction. It's announced a Valentine's Day fundraising campaign 364 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 3: for an owl. If you donate New Zealand dollars to 365 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 3: the program, they will name a rat after your ex 366 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 3: partner and then feed it to one of the owls. 367 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 3: Love is cruel. While some rat fans have said this 368 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 3: campaign is in fact cruel and heartlessly, program says the 369 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 3: rats are going to die anyway and the owls have 370 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 3: to eat them to survive. 371 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 1: International correspondence with Insigneye Insurance Peace of Mind for New 372 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: Zealand Business. 373 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 3: Twenty one to five. Murray Olds, Hello, Hey, good mate. Wow. Okay, 374 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 3: the Western Sydney Nurses saga continues. What's happened today? 375 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 2: Wow? 376 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 12: Lots of moving parts. As you say, police have spoken 377 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 12: to them. Not sure one hundred percent where those discussions 378 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 12: have gone, Sarah Abu Lebda and Ahmed Nadia. Police were 379 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 12: waiting until I've spoken to lawyers. Nadia was born in Afghanistan, 380 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 12: came here at twelve and became an Australian citizen four 381 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 12: years ago. Predictably, Opposition leader Peter Dunton now jumps up 382 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 12: on this political high horse, wants to politicize all of this, 383 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 12: wants a debate about revoking citizenship. Pete, pipe down, mate, 384 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 12: It's not about you. What it is about is a 385 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 12: disgraceful display by a couple of really young and dumb 386 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,479 Speaker 12: talk about naive. I'm not sure who they thought they 387 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 12: were talking to, but the Israeli influencer Strokes social media 388 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 12: expert played them like fiddles. It was like, I don't know, 389 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 12: it was like phishing. I mean he comes the bait 390 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 12: and bang that biting. In no way does that excuse 391 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 12: what they had to say. It was utterly disgraceful. They've 392 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 12: been sacked from their nursing positions. They'll never work again 393 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 12: in New South Wales Health. The social media star apparently 394 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 12: has been spoken to by a police again. We're waiting 395 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 12: to see what came out of that. He's a regular 396 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 12: though on this web platform that global users apparently hop 397 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 12: onto it. This is all above my head, but apparently 398 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 12: global users can hop on this web platform and pick 399 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 12: up conversations with others at random around the world. They 400 00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 12: can use audio or video. And this guy is a 401 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 12: real expert in this, and he's actually says that he 402 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 12: sets out to try and catch people who have got 403 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 12: anti Israeli views and look, in the current climate around 404 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 12: the world is not hard to find those people. But 405 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 12: again you come back to what was completely unacceptable behavior 406 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 12: for two nurses to say if any Israelis com and 407 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 12: E were going to kill them, I mean, it's just awful. 408 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,120 Speaker 3: Well look, look, can I just say it just shows 409 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 3: an underlining anti Semitism, but I actually want to broad 410 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 3: on that out. It's actually an anti anti Israelism really, 411 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 3: And some of these kids they don't even know what 412 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 3: they're talking about. They don't even realize what they're actually saying, 413 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 3: you know, and it's yeah, hey. 414 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 6: Look stupid, stupid. 415 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 3: It's very good word. Four ABC employees have died from 416 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 3: as vestus exposure. Bless. 417 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 2: This is dreadful. 418 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 12: This is far from stud This is extremely serious. This 419 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 12: is down in Melbourne the old ex ABC television studios 420 00:21:53,720 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 12: and radio headquarters. The television studios were home and till 421 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 12: the I Big Abuton. The radio studios were home in 422 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 12: this building until the late nineteen eighties. The television studios 423 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 12: in use up until twenty seventeen. And as you say, 424 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 12: four employees now have died from mesophilioma, which has come 425 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 12: they say, from breathing in asbestos dust. Now, asbestos was 426 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 12: used as an insulator in the ceilings and in the walls, 427 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 12: and apparently this stuff just leaches out and sort of 428 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 12: bleeds out in little dust particles, and these poor people 429 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 12: have breathed in and they're now dead. And of course 430 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 12: now the big, the big searches on anyone else has 431 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 12: lung problems and who may have worked in these two facilities. 432 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 3: Mate, Mate, I worked in a broadcasting house in Wellington 433 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 3: which was a classic old building and we had asbestos 434 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 3: based acoustic tiles everywhere, wow, everywhere, you know, it was 435 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 3: what they did back then. So the invocations are coming 436 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 3: through later on. And finally a giant American ute has 437 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 3: caused some outrage in Melbourne. 438 00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 6: Oh, mate, forgot. 439 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 12: Honestly, you may have seen these big ram trucks and 440 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 12: so on on the roads in New Zealand. Well there's 441 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 12: an even bigger one that's come to Australian shores. Let 442 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 12: me get the dimensions here. This thing is nearly six 443 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 12: meters long and more than two meters wide. 444 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 6: They dwarf. 445 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 12: The best selling car over here is the Toyota high 446 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 12: Lucks and they're pretty big vehicles and you know a 447 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 12: lot of tradees use them and they're really really popular. 448 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 12: This thing makes a high Lux look like a mini 449 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 12: and they don't even fit in the standard Australian parking spaces. 450 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 6: It's like one and a half. 451 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 12: One guy, and I think it was Melbourne film, one 452 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 12: of these things going down the road and it struggles. 453 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 12: The driver is struggling to keep it inside the middle. 454 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 12: You know that the strip that runs down the middle 455 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 12: of the road. It's just so bloody wide. The guy 456 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 12: can't keep it in his own lane. Now, why these 457 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 12: things are allowed to come in, I don't know. They're 458 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 12: not even subject to the standard Australian safety checks that 459 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 12: are replied do every other vehicle. But anyway, well. 460 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 3: Do you think the owners are compensating for something? 461 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 12: Well, mate, that's very good. They might well be. They 462 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 12: may well.

Murray holds out 465 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 3: of Australia. Okay, my statements about the fairest apology in Mali. 466 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 3: Chris writes, his apology in his native language is more sincere. 467 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 3: It means more to him to deliver in his language. 468 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 3: Sure I get that. Therefore it is a thing of beauty. 469 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 3: Sure I get that. Then Chris goes on and says, 470 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 3: colonization is trying to force assimilation. Your ignorance is screaming 471 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 3: your lack of understanding. I don't get that, Chris at all. 472 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 3: If the person he's apologizing to doesn't have a clue 473 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 3: what he's saying, is it really an apology. We'll talk 474 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 3: about this with Barry Sopa. In the moment, it is sixteen. 475 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 1: To five Politics with centrics credit check your customers and 476 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: get payment certainty. 477 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 3: Ah thirteen to five Barry Soper, Hello. 478 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 13: Good afternoon, Andrew. 479 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 3: Um please accept mafuckerpaha ah uh you know adaham.

Yeah, Well it may well do. 482 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 13: And certainly that's what takout Ferris said the dead of 483 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 13: light night last night, when the Privileges Committee basically said 484 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 13: to him he had to apologize for being in contempt 485 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 13: of parliament. Now you'll remember he blatantly lied himself about 486 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 13: whether he had called MP's liars when he's giving a 487 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 13: speech last September and we played it yesterday. But he did, 488 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 13: apparently last night say in Mardi that he apologizes, and 489 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 13: that was missed, of course by many, and that infuriated 490 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 13: New Zealand first Shane Jones, who told Parliament Ferris was 491 00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 13: again contemptuous by delivering the apology only in Mary. Get 492 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 13: a load of the Jones fury. 493 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 14: This member beats to a drum where he believes he's impervious, 494 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 14: he's beyond any of this criticism because he's blessed with 495 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 14: some pure non muggles moldy blood. Shame on you for 496 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 14: bringing your own people into disrepute. 497 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 6: Shame on your leaders for. 498 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 14: Not insisting you show foka iti you showed humility. There 499 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 14: is no honor in this arrogant, No honor in this childish, 500 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 14: No honor in this contemptuous display of disregard for what 501 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 14: it means to be a parliamentarian. 502 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 13: You know, and Jones was furious, genuinely. I think, I 503 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 13: mean he's very theatrical in parliament. But just a few 504 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 13: minutes ago, Katuta Ferris, I should say, Takuta Feris, I 505 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 13: should get it right because I'll be told off about that. 506 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 13: But a few minutes ago he was on his feet 507 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 13: in the debating chamber. He said that apologizing and maldi 508 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 13: means much more to his people than it does in English. Now, 509 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 13: in fairness to him, we do have two official languages 510 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 13: in New Zealand. 511 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 3: We have three. 512 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 5: Well, sign language. 513 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 3: He could have done it in Sigue, and if he 514 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 3: done it in sign language, I would have asked for 515 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,360 Speaker 3: an English translation as well. You know, I just think 516 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 3: that we've got three official languages. 517 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 13: And he knows, I know, he knows he is being arrogant. 518 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 13: He knows he was pushing the boundaries and there's nothing 519 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 13: that can be done about it. But it's the sheer 520 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 13: arrogance that will go with him through his parliament. 521 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 3: Can I just say to mister Ferris, it makes me 522 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,880 Speaker 3: think that perhaps you went to sincere ner apology because 523 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 3: you're actually being cantankerous and being obtuse. Yes, so there 524 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 3: we go, Kenneth paper Mill. Where are we at? 525 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 15: Well? 526 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 13: Interestingly this afternoon. Now, you know, people had sort of 527 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 13: I think forgotten a bit about Pearl Kinleith. Two hundred 528 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 13: and thirty mill workers are about to lose their jobs 529 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 13: there Dune next year the machine stopped working. I remember 530 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 13: covering disputes there in the early eighties when they went 531 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 13: on a three month strike. 532 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 3: You probably don't know, Yeah, no, I remember, well. I 533 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 3: remember John Dobbs was a federational labor down mill, down mill. 534 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 6: It really was. 535 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 13: And so and I've stopped in Penrose the recycling plant 536 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 13: that stopped in December. Two hundred and thirty workers will 537 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 13: lose their jobs next year. And so there seemed to 538 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 13: be some hope though for the Kinleith workers in Parliament 539 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,400 Speaker 13: this afternoon, when Labour's Willie Jackson was asking the Employment 540 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 13: Minister Louise Upston to expand about what Winston Peters had 541 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 13: told workers last year. Have I listen and see what 542 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 13: you think? 543 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 16: Does she agree with Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters who 544 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 16: told workers at the Kinleith mill last year that Kinneith 545 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 16: miller is the lifeblood of the way Cuttle and that 546 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 16: targeted government intervention is sometimes necessary to ensure the survival 547 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 16: of a business and a community, and is so can 548 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 16: the workers of Kinleith Mill have confidence that their jobs 549 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 16: and livelihoods are secure? 550 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 17: Mister Speaker, I always agree with the Deputy Prime Minister 551 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 17: and I know very well how important the Kinley employment 552 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 17: is in that community. And that is why as a 553 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 17: government we are looking at options. 554 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 13: Oh now that's fascinating, isn't it. 555 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 3: Well, why why are they looking at options? Look, it's 556 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 3: a private market, is it. They've got markets and they've collapsed. 557 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 3: It's a private business. It's none of the government's business. 558 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 3: They are in a very flasty mood today, Andrew. The 559 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 3: thing is, you know, when you look at and having 560 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 3: covered that dispute, kinlead Takaha is totally depend on yes, 561 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 3: on that mill. 562 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 13: Although you could say that Matara down near where I 563 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 13: come from, they had a paper mill down there, they 564 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 13: had a freezing works down there. They were closed down 565 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 13: the close the town hasn't closed down, but you know Kinley, 566 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 13: that's fairly isolated, and so it's too So I don't 567 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 13: know what the government's going to do, but you know, 568 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 13: we wait and see you there. Certainly that's the indication. 569 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 3: That we've got Well, I know that in the area 570 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 3: now they're actually shipping unprocessed logs straight to nap your port, 571 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 3: and Kui Rail is working along with the port to 572 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 3: make that easier so that we can actually have some 573 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 3: mills and have some more work in Tacola. Nobody wants 574 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 3: Takoa to die, but you can't artificially infleet an entire 575 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 3: sector that has collapsed. 576 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 13: Well, it sounds as though the government is about to 577 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 13: do something though. If you listen to Louise upstairs. 578 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 3: Okay, Perry, now remember you're talking about Heather tomorrow and 579 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 3: the car.

It's just I'm going back to this business 592 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 18: of the news, Google paying for stuff and they just 593 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 18: don't seem to have an urgency about them. 594 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 2: You see something different. 595 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 19: Well, here's the idea. 596 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 20: It's difficult. 597 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 8: You know, they're all bargaining act as a whole of 598 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 8: kidder firsh There are similarities, but audiences are migrating to 599 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 8: strending platforms with great content and local content. Players are 600 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 8: getting this out of the play. 601 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 18: Back Tomorrow at six am the Mike Hosking Breakfast with 602 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 18: the Rain drove of the lah News talk ZB. 603 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 3: What with their party, compulsory insurance and mister Ferris's apology 604 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 3: of Mary. The text machine is melting down. A lot 605 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 3: of you are very angry. Silence says, what an absolute joke. 606 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 3: He made the landish comments in parliament and English, therefore 607 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 3: should be making the apology in English. Shane Jones has 608 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 3: my backing. But here's the thing about mister Ferris. He 609 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 3: made the apology and the dead of night, when nobody 610 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 3: was there. He made the apology completely in Maori, which 611 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 3: a lot of people don't understand. It was a complicated 612 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 3: little speech. I think he knew what he was doing. 613 00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 3: I'm not sure he was sincere and I can tell 614 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 3: you and that thing. Speaking in Parliament today, he made 615 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 3: opening comments in Maori and then translated what he just 616 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 3: said in English. So when he wants to be heard, 617 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 3: he'll say it in English. When he doesn't mean what 618 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 3: he wants to say, maybe he does it in Malory. 619 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 3: And yes, don't don't tell me that I'm a colonizer. 620 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 3: I totally one hundred percent support Malory, and I totally 621 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 3: one hundred percent support English, and I totally one percent 622 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 3: support sign language. Now on the way, Nicholas Willis reckons 623 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 3: he knows about a new supermarket entrant. We'll figure out 624 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 3: whether that's true. We'll talk to Monopoly Watch. We've got 625 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,959 Speaker 3: a camera law professor on what's happening with Ukraine at 626 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 3: Russia and a lawyer who's taken class action against Johnson 627 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 3: and Johnson never flew meads what a show next?

So a twenty five billion dollar 636 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 3: market and just two players control eighty two percent of it. 637 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 3: We're talking about the supermarket sector. Finance Minister Nicholas will 638 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 3: and Nichola Willis today reiterated her plans to encourage a 639 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 3: third player and more competition in the grocery sector, but 640 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 3: she's a bit light on the detail. She said she'd 641 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 3: like to remove regulations that discourage new supermarkets, and she 642 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 3: would like to help new entrants access land in a 643 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 3: bid to break the current duopoly. 644 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 21: Look, I am aware that we have received what's called 645 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 21: an unsolicited prop We've said to all comers, if you 646 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 21: want to come and invest in important infrastructure, bring us 647 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 21: a proposal. And I've been informed that we have had 648 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 21: a proposal. So what that tells me is there is 649 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 21: some interest, and I'm sending a very clear message today 650 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 21: that we should be engaging with that interest. We as 651 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 21: a government want to take those proposals very seriously. 652 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 3: So Tech Edwards used to run two degrees, he's now 653 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 3: the monopoly what research director and he joins me. Now, 654 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 3: HELI techs Hi, Andrew, I'm good. No concrete commitments given 655 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 3: today everyone says that now no one ever makes a 656 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 3: concrete commitment. They talk about the problem, never a solution. 657 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 15: Yeah, I think everybody can be encouraged that you've got 658 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 15: ministerial focus on this. The debate and the public policy 659 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 15: debate of breaking up the supermarkets is quickly moving on. 660 00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 15: I think I was personally encouraged by the minister's invitation 661 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 15: to listen to proposals. The gorilla in the public policy 662 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 15: room is a breakup of the incumbents. The Commist Commission 663 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 15: proved that there was an overbuild of supermarkets, and on 664 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 15: a square meterage basis, New Zealand has an overbuild of supermarkets. 665 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,800 Speaker 15: This is called a barrier to entry, and the sheer 666 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,720 Speaker 15: level of scale that you need to create a price 667 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 15: output consumers means that you need some type of breakup 668 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 15: and it looks like the minister's inviting people in to 669 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 15: discuss how that breakup would occur with today's announcement. 670 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 3: Yes, but her main thing was that she's had an 671 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 3: unsolicited proposal from a possible third party player. Do you 672 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 3: believe that could happen? Because we all know the difficulties, 673 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 3: the supply chain difficulties and the difficulties in finding somewhere 674 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,840 Speaker 3: to put up a supermarket. Do you believe there really 675 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 3: is a concrete, unsolicited proposal on the table. 676 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 15: Several people have been looking at this industry, including ourselves 677 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 15: and our British private equity people wouldn't believe, didn't believe 678 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,239 Speaker 15: that the New Zealand government would ever allow a three 679 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,839 Speaker 15: to two manager to take place in two thousand and six, 680 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,440 Speaker 15: that that that's the gorilla that that created this problem, 681 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 15: and there are any discussions of what a third would 682 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 15: look like, but it's all what economists. Economists call this 683 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 15: stuff perrent competition, which they really mean to say pretend competition. 684 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 15: And remember there's there's such laser focus on the two encarpments. 685 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 15: They would love a small four percent market share, five 686 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 15: percent market share perroic player, pretend competitive that come with 687 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 15: a handful of stools. But I think that the public 688 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,239 Speaker 15: policy debate, the debate has moved on since then, and 689 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,840 Speaker 15: I think what the public, the common sense denominated public 690 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 15: and the common sense guest here is actually winning is 691 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 15: that you need a break up at the kartel. And 692 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 15: our research showed Andrew that you needed at least one 693 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 15: hundred and forty stores and you needed control of your 694 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:17,319 Speaker 15: own distribution for warehouse system. And so because there's been 695 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,840 Speaker 15: an overbuild, unless it's a breakup, you're not going to 696 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 15: get what we call price competition, and you're not going 697 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 15: to see Nutritian competition or sustainability competition. And it's it's 698 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 15: the devil is absolutely in the detail. And anybody's experienced 699 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:39,240 Speaker 15: in breaking up cartels knows that it's it's problematic and dangerous, really. 700 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 3: Capital and it is a very big ask, indeed, But 701 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,320 Speaker 3: I thank you for your thoughts. That's monopoly. Watched research 702 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,879 Speaker 3: director Texas Edwards on News Talks again. B it's twelve 703 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 3: minutes have to five. 704 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 13: Again. 705 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,319 Speaker 3: The big world news is the possibility a piece in 706 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,560 Speaker 3: the Ukraine. US President Donald Trump says he intends to 707 00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 3: negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine, talking to 708 00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 3: Vladimir Putin, possibly in Saudi Arabia's sounds like any peace deal, 709 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,920 Speaker 3: he hammers out, won't be very favorable to Ukraine. He's 710 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,880 Speaker 3: talking about landswaps. US Defense Secretary Pete Higgsseth says a 711 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 3: return to twenty fourteen but borders unlikely. And you know what, 712 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:13,440 Speaker 3: President Trump agrees. 713 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 9: They took a lot of land, and they fought for 714 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 9: that land and they lost a lot of they lost 715 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 9: a lot of soldiers. But it would just seemed to me. 716 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 9: And I'm not making an opinion on it, but I've 717 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:25,800 Speaker 9: read a lot on it, and a lot of people 718 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 9: think that that's unlikely. 719 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:28,319 Speaker 2: Some of it will come back. 720 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 9: I think some of it will come back. 721 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, So Sasa doov Buckman is a professor of international 722 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 3: law and security at Cambridge University, and he joins me. Now, 723 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,799 Speaker 3: hell is Sasha, oh Andrew, nice talking to you. So 724 00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,800 Speaker 3: was this for real or is he caving into Putin? 725 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,240 Speaker 3: Or is this actually what has to happen. 726 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,480 Speaker 22: I think it's for real. It's what a Trump prior 727 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,920 Speaker 22: to the elections or during the last months of the 728 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 22: election actually fraunded as the so called Trump Peace Plan. 729 00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,440 Speaker 22: So he was committed. He actually was boasting about it 730 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,239 Speaker 22: twenty four hours and he will sort it out. He 731 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,719 Speaker 22: gave a couple of reasons. But what we have to 732 00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,760 Speaker 22: go in old fairness, we have to say he actually 733 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:14,439 Speaker 22: with General Kellock, he assembled a team to look into 734 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 22: it in more detail, and there were also discussions with 735 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 22: President Zelenski. So it's no surprise that this is happening now. 736 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 22: But the problem obviously is how was it communicated and 737 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 22: also what exactly did the Secretary of Defense Hexit actually 738 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 22: say yes. 739 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,439 Speaker 3: And the problem with it is that the US has 740 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 3: no intention to play any role in enforcing any peace, 741 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,319 Speaker 3: in enforcing any ceasefire, and the Europeans are saying, well, 742 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,239 Speaker 3: we need some help here. Then you're not going to 743 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 3: be there. How can we enforce it? Isn't that a problem? 744 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,440 Speaker 22: I think it's a major problem. The thing is it 745 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,319 Speaker 22: was always left a little bit open. But if you 746 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 22: look at the proposals that were basically discussed around the 747 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 22: beginning of November, it was number one, territorial concessions, that 748 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,480 Speaker 22: means freezing along the conflict lines, the line of contact 749 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 22: as you would say. And then for example later negotiations, 750 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:09,280 Speaker 22: that was something where even Ukrainians and the Ukraine president 751 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:13,080 Speaker 22: actually for the time being was you can say amicable too. 752 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 22: The next thing was, and that is the most important thing, 753 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,960 Speaker 22: it was NATO membership. You know that Ukraine for seventeen 754 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 22: years has been basically on that pathway to NATO membership. 755 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 22: And there were discussions and that came from the Trump camp. 756 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 22: There might be for example, the possibility of a moratorium 757 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:32,320 Speaker 22: to freeze, for example, any further discussions for about twenty years. 758 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,879 Speaker 22: But the one thing that really strikes me here is 759 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 22: that back then there was a discussion that, for example, 760 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,880 Speaker 22: use US troops without for example, you can say not 761 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,760 Speaker 22: acting under NATO authority hence not protected under NATO Article 762 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 22: five would for example assist and that if I listened 763 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,520 Speaker 22: to a secutive of defense hexad. He has basically made 764 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 22: a statement which actually rules that out. And that is 765 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 22: what is very boriuesome. No NATO membership and also no 766 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,400 Speaker 22: basically native troops that includes US troops. 767 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,959 Speaker 3: And one last question, if Russia takes more territory now 768 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 3: putin will paint that as a win? Could they then 769 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 3: use that as a springboard to have another crack in 770 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 3: the future. 771 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:17,200 Speaker 22: Absolutely for me, Trump to zero that plan here can 772 00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,360 Speaker 22: turn into a Munich agreement. 773 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 2: To zero. 774 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 22: Trump gives actually put in open you can say, carte 775 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 22: blanche to sell that to his population as a win. 776 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 22: And that is the dangerous thing. That is the first 777 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 22: step in the wrong direction. 778 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,239 Speaker 3: Sasha, I thank you for your time today. That is 779 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,400 Speaker 3: Sasha Dove Buckman and he's talking to us from Canberra. 780 00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 3: It is now sixteen minutes after five.

Don't they work? They don't work? You reckon, 819 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:34,840 Speaker 3: they don't work. 820 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 2: Well. 821 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:41,520 Speaker 23: Our class action that we've filed today alleges that the 822 00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:45,960 Speaker 23: quadrial pseudofed and benadryl range of cold and flu. Products 823 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 23: that contain fenlefrin are ineffective at treating congestion and other 824 00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:55,759 Speaker 23: symptoms of colds and flu. Now, these are symptoms that 825 00:43:55,800 --> 00:44:01,920 Speaker 23: these products were marketed to treat. Now, the the evidence 826 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,880 Speaker 23: in respect of the efficacy of fenlefrin is pretty overwhelming. 827 00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:11,640 Speaker 23: The studies concerning fenlefren when taken orally, date back to 828 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 23: the sixties and seventies, and they show that fenlefrin is 829 00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:19,560 Speaker 23: no more effective than a placebo at treating these symptoms. 830 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:23,840 Speaker 23: So our class action aims to recover the amount spent 831 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,720 Speaker 23: by Kiwis on these products for the last twenty years. 832 00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:31,399 Speaker 3: Has any other jurisdiction had seen such a claim, such 833 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,920 Speaker 3: an action. If you're saying that the evidence, the scientific 834 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,800 Speaker 3: evidence that has an effective goes back so far, surely 835 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,200 Speaker 3: another country has done it well. 836 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:43,160 Speaker 23: We filed our firm filed a claim in Australia in December, 837 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,880 Speaker 23: so we have a class action on foot there. A 838 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,600 Speaker 23: Canadian firm filed a class action about twelve months ago 839 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,160 Speaker 23: in Canada and so that claim is proceeding through the 840 00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:58,320 Speaker 23: usual steps. And there's also quite a number of claims 841 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,880 Speaker 23: on foot in America in respect of these products. So 842 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,160 Speaker 23: I think we're going to see further litigation in other countries. 843 00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,480 Speaker 23: But as it stands, there's already a few countries where 844 00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:08,399 Speaker 23: cases are. 845 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,640 Speaker 3: Underway, but you don't have any precedent yet. 846 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 23: No no cases have yet been determined. Everything is still 847 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:18,239 Speaker 23: in its infancy. And that's because you know, this wave 848 00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:23,319 Speaker 23: of litigation has has been sparked by the Food and 849 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,799 Speaker 23: Drug Administration's review. Now they're the regulatory body in the 850 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:30,880 Speaker 23: United States, and in about September of twenty twenty three, 851 00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,600 Speaker 23: the FDA announced the results of a review that they 852 00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:37,360 Speaker 23: had carried out into the efficacy of fenlefrin when taken orally, 853 00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:41,680 Speaker 23: and that review showed that fen lefren simply wasn't effective 854 00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:46,480 Speaker 23: in the tablet or the liquid form. So as a 855 00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,680 Speaker 23: result of that review, we started investigating and have brought 856 00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:51,520 Speaker 23: the two class actions that we have. 857 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,920 Speaker 3: Finally, if anyone wants to join your class action, how 858 00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:54,920 Speaker 3: can they get in touch with it? 859 00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,360 Speaker 23: We encourage every New Zealander who's bought one of these products, 860 00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,760 Speaker 23: whether it's one packet or one hundred packets, to register. 861 00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,560 Speaker 23: Visit our website that we've set up for this case, 862 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:08,759 Speaker 23: which is Coldenfluclassaction Dot co dot nzed. There's no need 863 00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,160 Speaker 23: to have receipts or proof of purchase. We simply ask 864 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,320 Speaker 23: you to tell us on the form how many packets 865 00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,360 Speaker 23: you think you've bought over what period and you'll be registered. 866 00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:21,400 Speaker 3: Rebecca jankowskis from j GA Saandler. I thank you so 867 00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,399 Speaker 3: much for your time today. It is now twenty three 868 00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:24,200 Speaker 3: minutes after five. 869 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:28,760 Speaker 2: Checking the point of the story. 870 00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:32,680 Speaker 1: It's Andrew Dickens on hither duplicy Alan drive with one 871 00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,440 Speaker 1: New Zealand let's get connected and new stalks. 872 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:39,880 Speaker 3: They'd be can I get that website address off you, 873 00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,720 Speaker 3: producer because I didn't write it down and everyone's texting 874 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,880 Speaker 3: saying what is that website? We'll do that for you shortly. 875 00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,120 Speaker 3: At a big talkback, topic of the day was the 876 00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,600 Speaker 3: soaring price of car insurance and how can we afford 877 00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,319 Speaker 3: it going forward. Everyone had a chat about this over 878 00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,640 Speaker 3: the course of the day. Kerry had some good stuff. Inevitably, 879 00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,640 Speaker 3: the conversation turned to just having third party insurance to 880 00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,520 Speaker 3: protect yourself when you run into a Porsche and it's cheaper, 881 00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,560 Speaker 3: and following on from that we had the conversation about 882 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,480 Speaker 3: should third party insurance be compulsory? Which is a perennial 883 00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:11,360 Speaker 3: talk back topic ever since I started here on this 884 00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:13,759 Speaker 3: radio station twelve years ago, and I have quite a 885 00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,440 Speaker 3: strong opinion about it. I believe it should be compulsory 886 00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:20,640 Speaker 3: to give security to all your fellow road users. It's 887 00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:24,120 Speaker 3: only fair. If a non insured person dings you, it 888 00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,720 Speaker 3: is almost impossible to get money out of them, because 889 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:28,960 Speaker 3: that's the reason they don't have insurance in the first place. 890 00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,880 Speaker 3: So what happens. You suck it up, you pay your excess, 891 00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,319 Speaker 3: you get it fixed, and then your premiums go up 892 00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:37,759 Speaker 3: further increasingly un affordability, or because the guy ran into 893 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:41,520 Speaker 3: you doesn't want to pay. The problem is often just poverty. 894 00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:43,680 Speaker 3: I get that the problem is the criminal element who 895 00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,800 Speaker 3: don't care. I think that's the guy run into my producer. 896 00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,160 Speaker 3: The problem is young who think they can get away 897 00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,480 Speaker 3: with it and have no money. It always blows up 898 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,160 Speaker 3: in your face. Our other problem is our attitude that 899 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,160 Speaker 3: cars are a right and not a privilege. Same problem 900 00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 3: we have with dogs. The dogs who end out unregistered 901 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:01,960 Speaker 3: and in the hands of bad owners who don't care 902 00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,279 Speaker 3: about their welfare because they can't even be bothered registering them. 903 00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:07,720 Speaker 3: If you want a car, you need to be able 904 00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,320 Speaker 3: to afford it. So to afford a car, you must 905 00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,640 Speaker 3: be able to maintain it. It must have a warrant 906 00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:16,080 Speaker 3: of fitness, it must be registered. So why not have 907 00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,839 Speaker 3: third party insurance as a compulsory part of gaining the 908 00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:23,080 Speaker 3: privilege of a car. And you know, if you cannot 909 00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:26,040 Speaker 3: afford all of that to run a car, that is 910 00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,920 Speaker 3: why we have spend a fortune making a public transport 911 00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:34,719 Speaker 3: network and building foot paths everywhere. Andrew Dickens, all right, 912 00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:41,000 Speaker 3: the website is cold and flu classaction dot co dot 913 00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,640 Speaker 3: edz not the most sexy website. It's fair to say 914 00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,800 Speaker 3: cold and flu class action all in one word. No 915 00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:51,120 Speaker 3: punctuation because punctuations are dying art on the internet. Class 916 00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:55,000 Speaker 3: and flu action dot co dot edz. You know, the 917 00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,040 Speaker 3: huddle today is going to be great. David Farrer and 918 00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:02,719 Speaker 3: Mike Munro. Should the government encourage a third supermarket operator? 919 00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,640 Speaker 3: Third party insurance? Should it be compulsory? Taka Tai Perris 920 00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:10,719 Speaker 3: who apologized to Malvi, was that sincere? And what are 921 00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:12,840 Speaker 3: you reckon about the peace talks between Russia and Ukraine? 922 00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:14,839 Speaker 3: I can't wait, It's coming up shortly. This is news 923 00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:15,439 Speaker 3: talks MB. 924 00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:32,840 Speaker 2: Moving the big stories of the day forward. 925 00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,640 Speaker 1: It's Andrew Dickens on Hither Duper see Alan Dry with 926 00:49:36,880 --> 00:50:00,280 Speaker 1: one New Zealand Let's get connected News talks it by. 927 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,120 Speaker 3: Good afternoon to you. Welcome back to the program, My 928 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:56,520 Speaker 3: Marew Dickens Filligan for Prime Bridge, who's back on Monday. Look, 929 00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:59,160 Speaker 3: then I mentioned public transport and now I'm getting public 930 00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:03,440 Speaker 3: transport texts. A writer says the government has banned bikes 931 00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,879 Speaker 3: on buses. How did the working poor actually get to work? 932 00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,280 Speaker 3: Someone else just laughed about the fact that the public transport. 933 00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,520 Speaker 3: Yeah right, you can do that if you can't affort 934 00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,399 Speaker 3: a car. Well, on the subject of public transport, can 935 00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:18,880 Speaker 3: I say that the City Railing Train tunnel was used 936 00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:22,040 Speaker 3: last night for the first time ever by a train. 937 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,000 Speaker 3: People have walked through it, people have looked at it, 938 00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:29,319 Speaker 3: people have done echoes in it. Hello Hello. But this 939 00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,799 Speaker 3: time a train actually did it, and it did it 940 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:37,680 Speaker 3: extraordinarily slowly. But as I believe, everything worked tickety boo. 941 00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:39,440 Speaker 3: So we're going to talk to the guy who's in 942 00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,000 Speaker 3: charge of the CRL just after the six o'clock news 943 00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:44,440 Speaker 3: to find out what happened the first time a train 944 00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,480 Speaker 3: went through those bloody tunnels that have been built for 945 00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,200 Speaker 3: so long, I can't wait. It is twenty two to 946 00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:58,800 Speaker 3: six hall Thomas. Meta says it wants to bring anti 947 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,680 Speaker 3: scam measures to New Zealand, but it might be a 948 00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,120 Speaker 3: while until they're actually in place. In Australia, social media 949 00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:07,160 Speaker 3: companies have had to take reasonable steps to detect and 950 00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:11,120 Speaker 3: prevent scam attempts, and our government is now considering introducing 951 00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,680 Speaker 3: similar rules. So to talk about this, I'm joined by 952 00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:18,799 Speaker 3: a chief online safety officer at knit Safe, Sewan Lyons. Hello, Sean, Hello, 953 00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:20,440 Speaker 3: how are you doing all right? What do they think 954 00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:20,879 Speaker 3: you're doing? 955 00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:25,680 Speaker 19: So they're talking about and mirroring the same sort of 956 00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:29,400 Speaker 19: controls that they have over in Australia over here. They 957 00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,920 Speaker 19: originally said that wasn't wasn't possible, and I think they're 958 00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:34,080 Speaker 19: still saying it might be some time. But they're talking 959 00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:39,360 Speaker 19: about instituting some defense around ads that that claimed to 960 00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:42,000 Speaker 19: be you know, get rich of quick fem of finance 961 00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:45,160 Speaker 19: based ad, making sure that those anyone who advertised in 962 00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:48,160 Speaker 19: that way is registered with our FMA over here, but 963 00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,840 Speaker 19: basically clamping down on the advert that some of us 964 00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:52,960 Speaker 19: are seeing on social media. They are leading us down 965 00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:54,359 Speaker 19: a very unfortunate path. 966 00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:56,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw one the other day. It was Mike 967 00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:58,080 Speaker 3: Hosking telling me to invest money and I thought, no, 968 00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,520 Speaker 3: he's neven goett to give away those sorts of secrets. 969 00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,080 Speaker 3: Tech giants and banks are at loggerheads over who should 970 00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:07,920 Speaker 3: be responsible for online scams. Does this show that Meta 971 00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,680 Speaker 3: actually thinks they do have a responsibility to stop them? 972 00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:13,279 Speaker 19: Well, I mean I think what it is that is 973 00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:15,960 Speaker 19: a pretty star commission that they think they can have 974 00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:17,960 Speaker 19: an impact, and that that means that they must be 975 00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,399 Speaker 19: looking at these things. So it is encouraging that they 976 00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,719 Speaker 19: are looking in that direction. It is encouraging that they're 977 00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:24,480 Speaker 19: talking about trying to clamp down on those, you know, 978 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:28,160 Speaker 19: the celebrity based scam adverts that people are seeing. So 979 00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:31,320 Speaker 19: whether or not they think they're the entire solution and 980 00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:34,000 Speaker 19: that they're probably not, but if it's on their platforms, 981 00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:36,319 Speaker 19: we should definitely be pushing them to do more so 982 00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,359 Speaker 19: that we are not putting harms way whilst we're using 983 00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,960 Speaker 19: their platform for whatever it is that we might choose 984 00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:41,319 Speaker 19: to be doing. 985 00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:41,560 Speaker 2: So. 986 00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:45,480 Speaker 3: Australia got these pretections because they actually applied pressure with 987 00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:48,799 Speaker 3: a code of conduct. Do we need to apply some 988 00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,400 Speaker 3: regulatory pressure as well well. 989 00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:54,120 Speaker 19: I mean, I think a code of conduct certainly seems 990 00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:56,000 Speaker 19: to be working in as been the kind of the 991 00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,440 Speaker 19: basis that ties all this together over there, and I 992 00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,080 Speaker 19: think we are talking in this country. Mister Bailey has 993 00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:04,600 Speaker 19: just talked recently about the code of conduct here. I 994 00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,080 Speaker 19: think it can work. I think the important thing for 995 00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,799 Speaker 19: us is that if there is a code, these things 996 00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,680 Speaker 19: need to be focused on the platform providers and the 997 00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:14,359 Speaker 19: banks and the telcos and all the people that play 998 00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:15,960 Speaker 19: a role in it. But it has to have the 999 00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:18,279 Speaker 19: people that are the victims of these scams at the 1000 00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:21,080 Speaker 19: heart of it. So as long as it helps clear 1001 00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:23,480 Speaker 19: up that confusion, as long as it means that when 1002 00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:25,799 Speaker 19: we are scanned, if we are scanned, we know how 1003 00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,160 Speaker 19: to take action, and we have some surety that action 1004 00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,680 Speaker 19: can be taken, then I think it could well have 1005 00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:32,719 Speaker 19: some benefit in this country too. 1006 00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:36,160 Speaker 3: Finally, why are we behind Australia. 1007 00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:39,200 Speaker 19: Again on well in this respect that that's a question 1008 00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:41,000 Speaker 19: that has to go to meta. That's about the way 1009 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,799 Speaker 19: that they roll things out to different markets. Maybe that's 1010 00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,279 Speaker 19: because they have different legislation over there. There are things 1011 00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:50,240 Speaker 19: where where we get to be first and sometimes Unfortunately 1012 00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:52,920 Speaker 19: in this situation we're not, but at least for on 1013 00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:55,280 Speaker 19: that radar, at least or on that path, and hopefully 1014 00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:57,719 Speaker 19: before too very long we'll have the same protections here 1015 00:53:57,719 --> 00:53:58,879 Speaker 19: from New Zealand sidents. 1016 00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:00,600 Speaker 3: Sean, thank you so much. A good time lines as 1017 00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:04,440 Speaker 3: the chief online safety officer at net safe. It's nineteen 1018 00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:05,680 Speaker 3: to six. This is going to be fun. 1019 00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:10,120 Speaker 1: The huddle with New Zealand Southerby's international realty, local and 1020 00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,120 Speaker 1: global exposure like no other. 1021 00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:16,320 Speaker 3: David farre Kieving bog And Courier Polster and Mike Munroe, 1022 00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,360 Speaker 3: former chief of staff and Sinda are on my huddle today. 1023 00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:23,680 Speaker 3: Hello gentlemen, Oh good Andrew, how are you? I'm very well. 1024 00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,279 Speaker 3: Now let's start with the supermarkets. How far should the 1025 00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:30,120 Speaker 3: government go to encourage the third supermarket operator in New Zealand. 1026 00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:34,839 Speaker 3: They brought out doing a Kiwi shop, thank god. Who 1027 00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:36,080 Speaker 3: would like to start? There's Mike. 1028 00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:39,799 Speaker 10: Well, look, we've had an awful lot of jaw boning 1029 00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:43,360 Speaker 10: about this, Andrew for a long time now, and we 1030 00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:47,120 Speaker 10: don't seem to be any closer to resolving the issue 1031 00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:52,359 Speaker 10: of outrageous prices at the checkout. Nikola Willis today talked 1032 00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:57,400 Speaker 10: about giving VIP treatment to a new entrant. Well, she 1033 00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:00,200 Speaker 10: had better sort live up to those words, because when 1034 00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,400 Speaker 10: you talk about VIP treatment, you're talking about preferential treatment 1035 00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:07,839 Speaker 10: or special treatment. So rather than just open the door 1036 00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:09,919 Speaker 10: as she said today, she's asked, you've got to put 1037 00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,760 Speaker 10: some plan on the table. Otherwise it's just more brave 1038 00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:14,760 Speaker 10: talk and more more vague promises. 1039 00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:18,400 Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing, David Farrer. If another player came in, 1040 00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,040 Speaker 3: it's an enormous investment, a billion dollars just to make 1041 00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,600 Speaker 3: a supply chain. And we had Tex Edwards on before 1042 00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:27,480 Speaker 3: from Monopoly and he said monopoly watched today say and 1043 00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,320 Speaker 3: he said they'd have to open at least one hundred 1044 00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:32,160 Speaker 3: and forty stores to be competitive. So you know it's 1045 00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,239 Speaker 3: a big ask. Yeah. 1046 00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:37,840 Speaker 24: Look, there's a useful rule that was come up in 1047 00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,520 Speaker 24: nineteen seventy six called the rule of three or four 1048 00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:45,440 Speaker 24: market to work, you need at least three competitors, and 1049 00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,719 Speaker 24: the smallest has to be at least a quarter of 1050 00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:51,920 Speaker 24: the size of the biggest. So a new competer needs 1051 00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,640 Speaker 24: to be at least ten or fifteen percent of the market, 1052 00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,359 Speaker 24: but will make a huge difference. We don't have good 1053 00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:01,760 Speaker 24: competition a huge supermarket chain will make a massive difference. 1054 00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:05,359 Speaker 24: And what Nicholas said is rather than the government say 1055 00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:09,479 Speaker 24: we think this is what will improve competition, she's saying 1056 00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:11,680 Speaker 24: there's a limit number of companies who could do this. 1057 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:14,600 Speaker 24: Come tell me what it would take for you to 1058 00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:17,640 Speaker 24: invest here, and I'll see if I can make it happen. 1059 00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:21,719 Speaker 24: So I think that's fine because any company that's interested 1060 00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:23,680 Speaker 24: can come and say this is what we want. It 1061 00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:26,680 Speaker 24: won't be stuff just for that company. It will be 1062 00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:30,239 Speaker 24: stuff that then any company that wants to come here can. 1063 00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:32,919 Speaker 24: But look when not you have a problem that we're 1064 00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:36,479 Speaker 24: shutting out a fourth or competitor. If we can even 1065 00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:38,680 Speaker 24: go through, I think that would be amazing. 1066 00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:40,600 Speaker 3: You know you talk about an incentive there, how about 1067 00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:43,279 Speaker 3: a corporate taxt pack break or maybe you know some 1068 00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,520 Speaker 3: tax incentives And I know that topics not being discussed 1069 00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,480 Speaker 3: at all that the New Zealand Economic Forum, which is 1070 00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:49,239 Speaker 3: underway right now. 1071 00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:53,480 Speaker 24: David, No, No, whyce you start doing different tax rates 1072 00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,399 Speaker 24: for favored companies as like giving DST exemptionines You're going 1073 00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:02,160 Speaker 24: to end up a nice well regulate tree changes. Yes, 1074 00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:04,960 Speaker 24: different text rates nor talkey. 1075 00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:06,080 Speaker 3: All right, I got to go. But how about a 1076 00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:09,480 Speaker 3: favorite tax break for everybody. But anywhere here we go, Well, 1077 00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,440 Speaker 3: we've got the big ones coming up, third party compulsory insurance, 1078 00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:17,720 Speaker 3: in car, in car insurance Tagatay Ferris's apology, and the 1079 00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:20,360 Speaker 3: peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. On the Huddle, it's 1080 00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:21,160 Speaker 3: sixteen to six. 1081 00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:25,680 Speaker 1: The Huddles with New Zealand Sotheby's International Realty elevate the 1082 00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:26,680 Speaker 1: marketing of your. 1083 00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:31,040 Speaker 3: Home data far Mike Munro it is now thirteen to six. Okay, 1084 00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:33,360 Speaker 3: car insurance is going through the roof because cars are 1085 00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:35,880 Speaker 3: more complex. But then we ended up talking about third 1086 00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:39,040 Speaker 3: party insurance and whether it should be compulsory. What do 1087 00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:39,680 Speaker 3: you think make. 1088 00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:47,479 Speaker 10: Yeah, well, it's not clear really how effective compulsory third 1089 00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:50,280 Speaker 10: party insurance would be, and this conversation has been sort 1090 00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:51,680 Speaker 10: of going around the un circles. 1091 00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:51,800 Speaker 19: For some time. 1092 00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:58,640 Speaker 10: Insurance companies, organizations like insurance companies and the AA in particular, 1093 00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,440 Speaker 10: have you know, always had concerns about third party insurance 1094 00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:06,280 Speaker 10: for a number of reasons, the number one being that 1095 00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:09,720 Speaker 10: it's not clear how skin would actually operate or how 1096 00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:10,360 Speaker 10: it would. 1097 00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:12,240 Speaker 6: Actually be effectively enforced. 1098 00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:16,080 Speaker 10: It's you know, as possible that insurance companies will spread 1099 00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:19,160 Speaker 10: the increased cost of providing cove to to the sort 1100 00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:21,840 Speaker 10: of at risk or hor risk individuals across all policy holders. 1101 00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:23,240 Speaker 6: So so so of. 1102 00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:25,919 Speaker 10: You know, people like you and I end up paying 1103 00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:29,000 Speaker 10: a lot more on our on our car insurance. And 1104 00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:32,680 Speaker 10: it's also you know, just talk about changing driver behavior, 1105 00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:36,760 Speaker 10: it's not clear whether a compulsory scheme will change driver behavior. 1106 00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,640 Speaker 3: Would remind me, remind people that the car is a 1107 00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:43,280 Speaker 3: privilege and not necessarily a right, David. In Singapore you 1108 00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:45,520 Speaker 3: cannot drive a car off the lot until you provide 1109 00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:48,120 Speaker 3: insurance documentation. We like to be like Singapore. 1110 00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,360 Speaker 24: Well no, actually Singapore does many good things, but they're 1111 00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:55,480 Speaker 24: not really known for their love of simil liberties or freedom. 1112 00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:59,400 Speaker 24: And without making it sound like a dramatic case, I 1113 00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:01,760 Speaker 24: don't think that there is a case for compulsion here. Look, 1114 00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:05,600 Speaker 24: we've had homeowners who haven't ensured their homes and lost 1115 00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:07,640 Speaker 24: millions of dollars in christ. 1116 00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:07,880 Speaker 2: Church, etc. 1117 00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:11,880 Speaker 24: People get to make their own decisions about insurance, and 1118 00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:15,960 Speaker 24: as Mike alluded to, you make something compulsory, it will 1119 00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:19,160 Speaker 24: go up the moment. It's a captive market and everyone 1120 00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:21,480 Speaker 24: has to do this. You're not going to end up 1121 00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:24,040 Speaker 24: with cheaper insurance, so no against. 1122 00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:27,760 Speaker 3: Okay, now Mari mp Takatai Parris had to make an apology. 1123 00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:29,800 Speaker 3: He did it later, like when nobody was there, and 1124 00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:32,720 Speaker 3: then he decided to do it completely in Maori. And 1125 00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,360 Speaker 3: this incensed Shane Jones. 1126 00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:40,280 Speaker 14: And unwillingness to offer an apology in English shows contempt 1127 00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:43,720 Speaker 14: for the vast majority of the New Zealand members of 1128 00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:45,880 Speaker 14: the public who play his salary. 1129 00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:49,640 Speaker 3: I sort of made him seem insincere. Mike Munroe, what 1130 00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:49,960 Speaker 3: do you. 1131 00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,400 Speaker 10: Think, Yeah, I think I think Shane Jones is on 1132 00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:55,520 Speaker 10: the money here. Actually, he also pointed out that you know, 1133 00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:59,280 Speaker 10: drel Mary is an official language and the member is 1134 00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:03,320 Speaker 10: fully entitled to get up and there are simultaneous translation services, 1135 01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:05,520 Speaker 10: et cetera, et cetera. But look, you know this is 1136 01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:10,080 Speaker 10: a really important issue when when a member makes an 1137 01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:14,360 Speaker 10: allegation of other members lying and it goes through the 1138 01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:18,280 Speaker 10: processes and he has to apologize to the Parliament, the 1139 01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:20,960 Speaker 10: apology really should be done in both languages. And I 1140 01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,600 Speaker 10: think that that Jones is right that there's a bit 1141 01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:26,360 Speaker 10: of a swagger about this and the member was showing 1142 01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:30,760 Speaker 10: a contempt you know, for Parliament and also to all 1143 01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:31,480 Speaker 10: News Islanders. 1144 01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:34,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, here's the thing. He was speaking in Parliament today 1145 01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:35,960 Speaker 3: and he spoke in Mali and then he provided an 1146 01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,080 Speaker 3: English translation, so he can do it what he wants to, 1147 01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:39,480 Speaker 3: but not when he's doing an apology. 1148 01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:41,600 Speaker 10: What do you think, David, Yeah, well that's the point 1149 01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:42,880 Speaker 10: I think that Jones was making. 1150 01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:47,040 Speaker 24: What do you think it should have been in both languages. Also, 1151 01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:51,440 Speaker 24: he apologized for the wrong thing, which adds to then sincerity. 1152 01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:55,760 Speaker 24: He got found and contempt for having misled parliament, not 1153 01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:59,280 Speaker 24: for having called MP's lives he denied it, called them liars, 1154 01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:03,240 Speaker 24: and he's the first MP in our history to be 1155 01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:07,080 Speaker 24: found to have mislead Parliament. And he didn't actually apologize 1156 01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:09,160 Speaker 24: for that. He just said I'm sorry if anyone was 1157 01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:11,000 Speaker 24: offended by my original remarks. 1158 01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:14,640 Speaker 6: So the whole apology is really pushing. 1159 01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:17,840 Speaker 24: The boundaries of whether it qualifies with what the privileges 1160 01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:19,040 Speaker 24: can Mayne should do. 1161 01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:22,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought it was clever dickery. So there we go, 1162 01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:26,760 Speaker 3: and to the big story for the world, the possibility 1163 01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:29,480 Speaker 3: of peace between Russia and Ukraine as broken by Donald 1164 01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:32,880 Speaker 3: Trump and Vadimir Putin. What do you give these peace 1165 01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:33,280 Speaker 3: talks to? 1166 01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:37,160 Speaker 10: Chance Mike Well coming from these two individuals, i'ld say, 1167 01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:41,000 Speaker 10: very poor chance. You know, Trump's romance with Putin is 1168 01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:49,440 Speaker 10: deeply worrying. They're both vindictive, dishonest, pretty ugly individuals. I mean, 1169 01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:53,080 Speaker 10: even Winston Peter's day was damping down expectations of anything 1170 01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:55,800 Speaker 10: coming of this. It's gonna you know, this is this 1171 01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:58,080 Speaker 10: suggestion that they can somehow I get around the table 1172 01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:00,680 Speaker 10: and get this matter sorded quickly is going to cause 1173 01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:04,600 Speaker 10: you know, shutters right through Europe as now, starting with 1174 01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:09,880 Speaker 10: Kayed and the Ukraine, because you just don't know what 1175 01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:12,840 Speaker 10: Trump would be prepared to accept from Putin in terms 1176 01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:18,200 Speaker 10: of concessions. So look, yeah, as I say, because they're 1177 01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:22,240 Speaker 10: such dishonest and undesirable people that I just think we 1178 01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:24,600 Speaker 10: should we should not get our hopes up. And I 1179 01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:27,000 Speaker 10: just don't see this making any concrete progress. 1180 01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:29,280 Speaker 3: That is actually very fair, Mike, because the concessions he's 1181 01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:32,280 Speaker 3: already made is that Ukraine does not join NATO and 1182 01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:35,120 Speaker 3: that the US doesn't join in enforcing US sees fare. 1183 01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:36,720 Speaker 3: So what are you reckon about the whole thing? David? 1184 01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,680 Speaker 24: There will be peace this year, but it will be 1185 01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:45,160 Speaker 24: through a surrender. Trump has effectively thrown Ukraine to Russia 1186 01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:48,960 Speaker 24: because as you see, you're all out. NATO hes not 1187 01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:52,800 Speaker 24: saying there could be any return to twenty fourteen borders, 1188 01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:56,960 Speaker 24: and he's cutting off funding to Ukraine, so Pewtin doesn't 1189 01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:59,800 Speaker 24: have to concede much. He'll say lot, we'll get back 1190 01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:02,480 Speaker 24: of the land we now want cap high, which is 1191 01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:05,800 Speaker 24: still a lot more than that ed. Ukraine will have 1192 01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:08,280 Speaker 24: no choice but to go along, So there will be 1193 01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:12,840 Speaker 24: peace this year. But I will be effectively a reward 1194 01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:16,920 Speaker 24: for Puton. He gets to hold Ukraine and mark my words, 1195 01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:21,280 Speaker 24: Moldova will be next, possibly Georgia after that, because he's 1196 01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:23,400 Speaker 24: been rewarded for his invasion. 1197 01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:27,600 Speaker 3: True point, it's a reward. And even if it was peace, 1198 01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:30,600 Speaker 3: because he's already got the rewards, could he actually do 1199 01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:33,680 Speaker 3: it again? It's Munich nineteen thirty eight all over again, gentlemen, 1200 01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:35,439 Speaker 3: I thank you for your time today. It is seven 1201 01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:35,840 Speaker 3: to six. 1202 01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:41,280 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Duples see Alan Drive Full Show podcast 1203 01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:44,080 Speaker 1: on my Art Radio powered by News Talk ZB. 1204 01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:49,360 Speaker 3: Text through says is an acc compulsory, Yes it is. 1205 01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:53,360 Speaker 3: Therefore you know why can't it happen? The panel is 1206 01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:56,400 Speaker 3: full of it. It's about personal responsibility. Yes, it is. 1207 01:03:56,480 --> 01:04:00,120 Speaker 3: It's about being a privilege and not a right and 1208 01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:05,360 Speaker 3: perfectly achievable. Fellow has texted and either can do buy 1209 01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:07,520 Speaker 3: for twenty years. Everything is linked. You can't register or 1210 01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:09,520 Speaker 3: get a warrant of fitness without insurance. You do that 1211 01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:13,800 Speaker 3: online automatically updates with police and you can process the 1212 01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:16,520 Speaker 3: WAFT and then the regio each year. Then you're issued 1213 01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:18,240 Speaker 3: a sticker to go on your plate with the year. 1214 01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:20,840 Speaker 3: If a police see a plate without the year sticker, 1215 01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:22,680 Speaker 3: they will pull you over and impound the car and 1216 01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:26,680 Speaker 3: take it away. So every car has minimum third party 1217 01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:31,400 Speaker 3: and regio and WAFT because that's the rules, and if 1218 01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:36,040 Speaker 3: you break the rules, rules have consequences. I'm going to 1219 01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:37,520 Speaker 3: have a bit of fun after the news. I'm going 1220 01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:39,600 Speaker 3: to talk to a fellow who's running the City rail Link. 1221 01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:42,360 Speaker 3: The City rail Link, the tunnel's under Auckland to put 1222 01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:46,160 Speaker 3: trains through has enraged many. Many haven't thought seen what 1223 01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:49,080 Speaker 3: the benefit of this whole thing is. They've certainly seen 1224 01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:51,760 Speaker 3: the impact of all the roadworks and how everything has 1225 01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:54,400 Speaker 3: slowed down, the road cones everywhere, and they haven't been 1226 01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:57,280 Speaker 3: able to see what's happening under the ground because it's 1227 01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:59,760 Speaker 3: under the ground. Well, I can tell you last night 1228 01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:03,760 Speaker 3: under the ground a train traveled through the tunnel, because 1229 01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:05,560 Speaker 3: it's going to take quite a lot of testing to 1230 01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:08,360 Speaker 3: make sure the trains can do this safely and at speed. 1231 01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:10,720 Speaker 3: So we're going to talk to Patrick, who runs the 1232 01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:13,240 Speaker 3: City rail Link in just a few moments time, about 1233 01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:16,600 Speaker 3: what is really a major milestone in a project that 1234 01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,080 Speaker 3: eventually will be out of our hair and in twenty 1235 01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:22,080 Speaker 3: years time we'll be going thank god it's here. Well 1236 01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:25,560 Speaker 3: that's what I hope. Anyway, News is next. I'm Andrew 1237 01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:39,120 Speaker 3: Dickens and for Ryan. Ryan's back on Monday, sand. 1238 01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:54,280 Speaker 25: Sandy. 1239 01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:22,760 Speaker 2: What's up? What's down? 1240 01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:26,040 Speaker 1: What with a major cause and how will it affect 1241 01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:30,040 Speaker 1: the economy? The big business questions on the Business Hour 1242 01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:35,200 Speaker 1: with Andrew Dickens and mayors, insurance and investments, Grow your wealth, 1243 01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:37,320 Speaker 1: protect your future, use talks at me. 1244 01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:42,600 Speaker 3: Well, good evening to you, Welcome back to the program. 1245 01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:45,240 Speaker 3: Are we're talking business speaking about business? I'm sorry if 1246 01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:49,880 Speaker 3: you here during the program, a low thump of disco 1247 01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:55,160 Speaker 3: based music and that's because Glane and Lehrt are having 1248 01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:58,760 Speaker 3: a Waketangi promotional do downstairs and so they play in 1249 01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:01,360 Speaker 3: the old disco music is that Bunnies and the eating 1250 01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:05,000 Speaker 3: Wakaentucky it Wakatuki crisp. And so if it's coming through 1251 01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:09,480 Speaker 3: the floor and I apologize, it's Gelane and Lee Hart 1252 01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:11,800 Speaker 3: and Heath is probably there as well. It is eight 1253 01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:15,880 Speaker 3: minutes after six, all right. A huge step towards trains 1254 01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:18,840 Speaker 3: actually running through the City rail Link. Last night a 1255 01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:21,880 Speaker 3: test train actually went through the tunnel for the first time. 1256 01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:24,960 Speaker 3: It took them two and a half hours to complete 1257 01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:28,840 Speaker 3: the journey. The journey's three point five kilometers. They took 1258 01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:31,800 Speaker 3: it slow. They did it slow so that the technicians 1259 01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:34,840 Speaker 3: could problem shoot all the way. So City rail Link 1260 01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:38,040 Speaker 3: Chief Executive as Patrick Brocky, and Patrick was there and 1261 01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:40,160 Speaker 3: he's here and now hello Patrick. 1262 01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:42,520 Speaker 20: Hi, and very nice to be talking to you. 1263 01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:44,360 Speaker 3: And congratulations. That must have been a buzz. 1264 01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:48,600 Speaker 20: Oh it's a real milestone actually, And there was a 1265 01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:51,320 Speaker 20: small party of staff and well Whish was down there too, 1266 01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:55,440 Speaker 20: saying the train off from white Matar station. So now 1267 01:07:55,480 --> 01:07:59,280 Speaker 20: a very exciting and proud monament for all of those 1268 01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:02,960 Speaker 20: that have been involved over many years, from our contractors 1269 01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:05,800 Speaker 20: through to our partner's Kyra or can Transport or can 1270 01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:08,280 Speaker 20: One Rail, Big milestone for us, so thank you. 1271 01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:10,640 Speaker 3: Okay, so the very fair you did it five times, 1272 01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:12,880 Speaker 3: but the very first time you did it you did 1273 01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:15,000 Speaker 3: three point four to five kilometers in two and a 1274 01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:16,439 Speaker 3: half hours. You did it slow. 1275 01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:22,240 Speaker 20: Why, it's just being safe five kilometers an hour initially 1276 01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:25,479 Speaker 20: and building up from there. But we just need to 1277 01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:28,160 Speaker 20: check the tunnel clearance and make sure the train runs 1278 01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:32,320 Speaker 20: through smoothly without any interruptions. We were pretty confident about that, 1279 01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:34,080 Speaker 20: of course with all the work we've done, but you 1280 01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:37,519 Speaker 20: never shure until the day and then power supply, just 1281 01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:41,519 Speaker 20: ensuring it's continuous through the tunnels. We're also looking at 1282 01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:44,679 Speaker 20: all the signaling that down there that's spready out managed 1283 01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:46,960 Speaker 20: by Kivy Rail, but making sure the signaling is all 1284 01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:51,639 Speaker 20: in order. And it went very well. The test all positive, 1285 01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:54,439 Speaker 20: so we're all for a good start. 1286 01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:56,960 Speaker 3: Did you get faster, I mean you did another four 1287 01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:59,040 Speaker 3: trips and did you get faster? In which case, what 1288 01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:03,280 Speaker 3: is the current speed record for the city railing tunnel. 1289 01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:08,479 Speaker 20: Well, well, we did get faster, materially faster, and I 1290 01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:11,120 Speaker 20: think over the next few days we would hope to 1291 01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:14,120 Speaker 20: get up to about a maximum of forty kilmas an 1292 01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:14,920 Speaker 20: hour and. 1293 01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:17,280 Speaker 3: That's how fast it will run when it's in regular service. 1294 01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:20,320 Speaker 20: No, it can go faster. It can go up to 1295 01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:23,160 Speaker 20: seventy kilometers an hour, but I think forty at the moment. 1296 01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:26,040 Speaker 20: As we find out any sort of bugs in the system, 1297 01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:28,360 Speaker 20: and there are a couple, you know, we have some 1298 01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:31,000 Speaker 20: we're still work to do on the tracks, some minor works, 1299 01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:32,840 Speaker 20: but they still have to be done and it's just 1300 01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:35,639 Speaker 20: safer to run it at moderate speeds for now. 1301 01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:38,000 Speaker 3: So what needs to happen from here? You've said you're 1302 01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:40,280 Speaker 3: going to keep on testing, and I know that the 1303 01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:42,519 Speaker 3: tracks obviously work, but the big problem is going to 1304 01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:47,519 Speaker 3: be the systems that actually monitor and control the trains. 1305 01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:49,800 Speaker 3: That can take quite a long time. So what is 1306 01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:51,559 Speaker 3: going to happen next from here and how long will 1307 01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:51,880 Speaker 3: it take? 1308 01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:54,760 Speaker 20: Well, you definitely hit the name on the head of 1309 01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:57,599 Speaker 20: the system's part. That's one of the most complex part 1310 01:09:57,640 --> 01:10:01,880 Speaker 20: of the project with the test and commissioning phase, with 1311 01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:04,400 Speaker 20: the running of the trains. There's over eight thousand tests 1312 01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:06,760 Speaker 20: andrew that we have to run over the course of 1313 01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:09,320 Speaker 20: the year, so we've really just only just started that. 1314 01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:12,880 Speaker 20: As you know, we've also got to complete the station 1315 01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:17,439 Speaker 20: set out, so there's an examples, the ceilings, the tiling works. 1316 01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:19,960 Speaker 20: Some of the ticket gates are actually in a couple 1317 01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:25,000 Speaker 20: of the stations, which is great tunnel ventilation system. There's 1318 01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:29,400 Speaker 20: are massive tunnel events given an example, they can by 1319 01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:32,679 Speaker 20: up to eight tons, but they are just we're going 1320 01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:35,680 Speaker 20: running full testing now and those that will continue for 1321 01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:38,519 Speaker 20: some time. And then, as you pointed out, the other 1322 01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:41,640 Speaker 20: systems involved installation and commissioning of those systems and they 1323 01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:49,120 Speaker 20: cover examples fire heating, a fire emergency prevention, heating, lighting, CCTV. 1324 01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:53,040 Speaker 20: We've also got works outside of the stations, some urban 1325 01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:56,479 Speaker 20: realm or footpath and paving works. So there's quite a 1326 01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:59,439 Speaker 20: lot left to do. We have just under nine hundred 1327 01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:03,160 Speaker 20: staff working on this at the stations, and so will 1328 01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:04,680 Speaker 20: give you a sense of the scale of work that 1329 01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:06,720 Speaker 20: we still have to complete this year. 1330 01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:08,840 Speaker 3: So you're hoping to open in twenty twenty six, Do 1331 01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:09,800 Speaker 3: you believe you're on track? 1332 01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:11,439 Speaker 20: Yes, we do. 1333 01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:13,679 Speaker 3: Would you like to give us a date? 1334 01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:15,479 Speaker 8: All right? 1335 01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:20,679 Speaker 20: Twenty twenty six is twenty twenty six not only vague, Andrew, 1336 01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:23,360 Speaker 20: but I think well, I think twenty twenty six is 1337 01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:25,800 Speaker 20: about as specific as we can be right now, just 1338 01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:29,280 Speaker 20: because and it's not again, not being evasive, but the 1339 01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:32,040 Speaker 20: last year is complex and we've got a lot to 1340 01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:35,840 Speaker 20: do still, and it can be the unknowns, but look, 1341 01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:38,200 Speaker 20: we're working as hard as we can to open as 1342 01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:39,000 Speaker 20: early as possible. 1343 01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:40,760 Speaker 3: We're so keen to see it, I have to say. 1344 01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:43,080 Speaker 3: And I have read about the Elizabeth Line in London 1345 01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:45,240 Speaker 3: and just how long it took to get that just 1346 01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:48,240 Speaker 3: good and safe and working properly. Is the signaling you 1347 01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:50,680 Speaker 3: don't want trains going down the wrong tracks. Just when 1348 01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:53,080 Speaker 3: you were talking about all the infrastructure down there, there 1349 01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:55,160 Speaker 3: must be an enormous drain of electricity. 1350 01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:00,720 Speaker 20: No, there is. This powers place pretty important for a 1351 01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:03,920 Speaker 20: railway for sure, and of course we're running the station 1352 01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:07,639 Speaker 20: systems and so on. So no, that's that's definitely the case. 1353 01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:12,360 Speaker 20: But we were that's well catered for and in place, 1354 01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:14,840 Speaker 20: so we shouldn't. We don't expect to have problems in 1355 01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:15,479 Speaker 20: that area. 1356 01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:16,960 Speaker 3: When do you get to take the mayor for a 1357 01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:21,040 Speaker 3: bit of a tour on a train, that's. 1358 01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:23,120 Speaker 20: A good question, not one we've covered yet, but when 1359 01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:26,200 Speaker 20: it's safe to do so. Andrew, I think, look, we'd 1360 01:12:26,280 --> 01:12:29,559 Speaker 20: like the general public about to see the project as 1361 01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:31,800 Speaker 20: soon as possible, and the only substitute at the moment 1362 01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:34,439 Speaker 20: is we've got some really good comms on our website, 1363 01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:38,800 Speaker 20: drone footage, We've got monthly newsletters with updates on the 1364 01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:42,680 Speaker 20: station works, and courage your listeners to look at that 1365 01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:45,400 Speaker 20: because I think it's very that's very helpful and getting 1366 01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:50,439 Speaker 20: some visualization of how the stations are coming along. Hopefully 1367 01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:53,000 Speaker 20: we can we can do more than that at some 1368 01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:54,760 Speaker 20: point during the year when it's safe to do so. 1369 01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:57,360 Speaker 20: But in terms of the Mayor and the Minister riding 1370 01:12:57,360 --> 01:13:01,120 Speaker 20: the first train, well for riding a train that's not 1371 01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:03,559 Speaker 20: on the plans right at the moment, but I'm sure 1372 01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:06,680 Speaker 20: that will be. 1373 01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:09,840 Speaker 3: Patrick, Patrick, it's good politics if you know what I mean, 1374 01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:12,720 Speaker 3: and you talk about the public, I mean, I've I've 1375 01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:16,800 Speaker 3: walked through every tunnel that's been built in this in 1376 01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:19,760 Speaker 3: this city, and I've walked over every bridge, including over 1377 01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:22,080 Speaker 3: Spaghetti Junction when it was built back of the seventies. 1378 01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:25,160 Speaker 3: So will is there any possibility that we could come 1379 01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:27,080 Speaker 3: for a bit of a wander through the tunnels for 1380 01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:28,679 Speaker 3: the public at some stage of the future. 1381 01:13:30,160 --> 01:13:32,800 Speaker 20: I think the stations is more likely entered than the 1382 01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:36,400 Speaker 20: tunnels themselves because we have energized so there's you know, 1383 01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:40,280 Speaker 20: there's power running through the tunnels. But you know, when 1384 01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:42,479 Speaker 20: the time is right, if we can do something with 1385 01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:45,840 Speaker 20: our stations and giving the public a glimpse of how 1386 01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:48,280 Speaker 20: they're going to look, and they will look stunning, we'd 1387 01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:48,840 Speaker 20: love to do that. 1388 01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:52,439 Speaker 3: Can't wait. Patrick, congratulate your team and I thank you 1389 01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:53,960 Speaker 3: for your time tonight and all the very best. 1390 01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:56,519 Speaker 20: Okay, thank you, Andrew, good talk to you. 1391 01:13:57,280 --> 01:14:00,240 Speaker 3: There's Patrick Brocky who's in charge of the CEE.

But 1466 01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:37,240 Speaker 26: you know, and that's in the in the side where 1467 01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:39,160 Speaker 26: we say, well, let's bring in a new player and 1468 01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:40,640 Speaker 26: that will solve all our problems, and. 1469 01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:44,080 Speaker 3: Well here's it might or might not. Here's the thing. 1470 01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:47,879 Speaker 3: She sort of hinted that she's had an unsolicited approach 1471 01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:52,200 Speaker 3: by an unnamed third player from an unnamed country, and 1472 01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:53,640 Speaker 3: it felt to me a little bit like she was 1473 01:17:53,640 --> 01:17:57,679 Speaker 3: suggesting that maybe there was something concrete amongst all the waffle. 1474 01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:01,240 Speaker 26: Yeah, look possible, But then you have to look at 1475 01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:03,280 Speaker 26: the scale and you go, well, you know, up in Auckland, 1476 01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:07,120 Speaker 26: we've got a costco. You know, it's it's but you 1477 01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:10,360 Speaker 26: need something at scale really to to affect the namic 1478 01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:14,320 Speaker 26: dynamic of the whole you know, supermarket or the grocery 1479 01:18:14,360 --> 01:18:19,000 Speaker 26: store sort of competition dynamic, and one or two stores 1480 01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:20,600 Speaker 26: probably won't do it. So you've got to have a 1481 01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:23,840 Speaker 26: really big, serious player. So I guess, you know, it's 1482 01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:28,240 Speaker 26: just whether one new player would really change things that much. 1483 01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:29,160 Speaker 6: It's going to help. 1484 01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:33,000 Speaker 26: But then the other part of it is how tough 1485 01:18:33,200 --> 01:18:37,200 Speaker 26: the government is prepared to get with the incumbents around competition. 1486 01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:41,400 Speaker 26: And that is also a situation where it's it's kind 1487 01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:45,040 Speaker 26: of easy to talk, really tough, it's harder to actually, 1488 01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:52,000 Speaker 26: you know, really sort of enforce things unless you're prepared 1489 01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:54,480 Speaker 26: to go the whole hog and start breaking up monopolies, 1490 01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:57,240 Speaker 26: which has been done in the past. Telecom got broken up, 1491 01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:01,000 Speaker 26: you know, but that would be a big call, especially 1492 01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:04,799 Speaker 26: from a sort of a pro business government that talks about, 1493 01:19:05,520 --> 01:19:10,080 Speaker 26: you know, concerns about sending the wrong message to potential 1494 01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:12,200 Speaker 26: business investors and that sort of thing. So you know, 1495 01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:15,479 Speaker 26: I just wonder, you know, for example, they're calling the 1496 01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:19,120 Speaker 26: bank bosses back in to talk to them about giving 1497 01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:21,280 Speaker 26: us a better, better deal. 1498 01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:25,480 Speaker 5: I guess, But what will the stick be exactly? 1499 01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:27,640 Speaker 3: And we've been trying this for a good five to 1500 01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:30,000 Speaker 3: ten years and nothing's worked so far, but you know, 1501 01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:32,720 Speaker 3: God loves to try. Liam Dan, I thank you so 1502 01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:35,280 Speaker 3: much for your time today. It is Sex twenty three. Yeah, 1503 01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:37,120 Speaker 3: I should probably mention the fact that it's been pointed 1504 01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:39,759 Speaker 3: out to me that the Elizabeth Line is one hundred 1505 01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:44,040 Speaker 3: and eighteen kilometers long whereas the CRL is three point 1506 01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:46,960 Speaker 3: four five kilometers long, So yeah, there's a difference in scale. 1507 01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:52,360 Speaker 2: The Rural report on hither do to see allan drive. 1508 01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:57,200 Speaker 3: New soilire b It is our six twenty five and 1509 01:19:57,360 --> 01:19:59,360 Speaker 3: this took about rural things. We've got Jamie mcnaiy from 1510 01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:01,839 Speaker 3: the country on the line and how Jamie today Andrew 1511 01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:05,360 Speaker 3: now in South and people are up at arms. The 1512 01:20:05,479 --> 01:20:06,559 Speaker 3: farm's being converted. 1513 01:20:07,520 --> 01:20:11,439 Speaker 25: Well not just our farm set lots of farms down here, 1514 01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:14,080 Speaker 25: and certainly lots of farms on the east coast of 1515 01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:18,200 Speaker 25: the North Island as well, have been converted from effectively 1516 01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:22,920 Speaker 25: good pastoral farms to forestry and or carbon farming. This 1517 01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:25,719 Speaker 25: particular one I know very well on the Southland are 1518 01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:27,920 Speaker 25: born and bred. It's on the northern slopes of the 1519 01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:31,280 Speaker 25: Hokanuei Hills. If you were driving, for instance, from Gore 1520 01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:34,840 Speaker 25: to Queenstown, it's a lovely drive too, you would pass it. 1521 01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:38,880 Speaker 25: This is a farm that shouldn't be going to trees. 1522 01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:42,160 Speaker 25: Of course, the government has stepped in and changed the rules, 1523 01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:45,160 Speaker 25: or they announced to change in the rules in December 1524 01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:48,320 Speaker 25: of last year. They'll come into force probably about October 1525 01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:52,479 Speaker 25: this year. But they can't stop stop stuff that's underway already. 1526 01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:56,200 Speaker 25: But this is a beautiful farm. The entire operation is 1527 01:20:56,240 --> 01:21:00,360 Speaker 25: apparently seven three hundred hectares. It's not only sheep and 1528 01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:03,360 Speaker 25: cattle breeding, but it's also a finishing farm where you 1529 01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:06,360 Speaker 25: fatt and stock. It's got cropping arable you know, good 1530 01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:09,400 Speaker 25: enough to grow crops, and also dairy farming. The whole 1531 01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:13,759 Speaker 25: lot is apparently being holess. Bowlus are planted into pine trees. 1532 01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:17,360 Speaker 25: It's wrong. It's not being planted for production forestry. It's 1533 01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:21,040 Speaker 25: being planted for the carbon credits. You'll get two clicks 1534 01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:23,280 Speaker 25: on it. But a lot of the local farmers are 1535 01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:26,120 Speaker 25: quite rightly saying this is not right. It's going to 1536 01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:28,360 Speaker 25: be an eyesore, it's going to be a blight on 1537 01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:31,599 Speaker 25: the environment. And I think quite a bit of government 1538 01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:34,160 Speaker 25: money was spent on this particular farm, which is a 1539 01:21:34,200 --> 01:21:37,720 Speaker 25: lovely farm of tailed sheep there and mustard as a 1540 01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:41,200 Speaker 25: young guy, was spent on this farm in the seventies 1541 01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:44,439 Speaker 25: to develop it. And the likes of Groundswell co founder 1542 01:21:44,479 --> 01:21:47,400 Speaker 25: Lorry Patterson, who also owns a big sheep and beef 1543 01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:50,519 Speaker 25: station down there, says he's none too toughed with it, 1544 01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:53,280 Speaker 25: and I think that's the general consensus. 1545 01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:53,559 Speaker 5: Of people down there. 1546 01:21:53,640 --> 01:21:56,240 Speaker 3: I'm right there with you. You know, these forests they're 1547 01:21:56,280 --> 01:21:59,479 Speaker 3: just a mirage. They're not really affecting or improving the 1548 01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:01,760 Speaker 3: environment anyway, shape or form. In fact, they're making it worse, 1549 01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:04,160 Speaker 3: as you quite rightly said. Hey, Jamie McKay, thank you 1550 01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:06,160 Speaker 3: so much for your time today. Have yourself a great night. 1551 01:22:06,400 --> 01:22:10,160 Speaker 25: Yeah, Andrew. National LAMB Day on Saturday. Hopefully the supermarkets 1552 01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:12,679 Speaker 25: will come to the party. I haven't seen any evidence 1553 01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:14,519 Speaker 25: of it yet, but go and taste some lamb. 1554 01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:19,759 Speaker 3: Oh, no problem, Jamie. I will thank you, my liege. 1555 01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:23,519 Speaker 3: Six thirty eight, we're going to talk about Donald Trump. 1556 01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:26,240 Speaker 3: He's making a lot of changes, it's causing some uncertainty 1557 01:22:26,240 --> 01:22:28,880 Speaker 3: in the markets. And Sam Dicking from Fisher Funds. We'll 1558 01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:32,080 Speaker 3: talk about that. We've got Da Brady coming to join 1559 01:22:32,160 --> 01:22:33,960 Speaker 3: us as well to talk about stories from all around 1560 01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:36,320 Speaker 3: in Europe.

Willis CAPOULDI 1570 01:23:23,640 --> 01:23:27,320 Speaker 3: had his troubles. Anyway. I've got a story for you 1571 01:23:27,400 --> 01:23:31,920 Speaker 3: right now about school lunches and what's happening tomorrow. So 1572 01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:34,320 Speaker 3: if you've got kids who get the free lunches at school, 1573 01:23:34,439 --> 01:23:36,720 Speaker 3: I am expected to get a free lunch tomorrow. They're 1574 01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:39,679 Speaker 3: going to be stoked because tomorrow they are getting pies 1575 01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:44,120 Speaker 3: and peter pits, so the company is supplying the lunch's compass. 1576 01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:47,880 Speaker 3: I had to inform this afternoon the schools that they 1577 01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:50,439 Speaker 3: haven't quite met what they said they were going to do, 1578 01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:53,880 Speaker 3: so what they're going to do tomorrow is pies. They've 1579 01:23:53,880 --> 01:23:57,280 Speaker 3: also informed the schools that the pies won't meet nutritional guidelines, 1580 01:23:57,840 --> 01:23:59,600 Speaker 3: but it will allow them to get on top of 1581 01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:04,520 Speaker 3: their food production and improve on delivery. So government politicians 1582 01:24:04,880 --> 01:24:08,559 Speaker 3: have a reaction and they're stoked. He's Tom McLay Trade Minister. 1583 01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:11,320 Speaker 19: I grew up eating pies and I feel quite healthy. 1584 01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:13,840 Speaker 3: Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop, and. 1585 01:24:13,880 --> 01:24:15,920 Speaker 27: People eat things all the time that don't necessarily eat 1586 01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:16,880 Speaker 27: nutritional guidelines. 1587 01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:19,479 Speaker 24: Me and a bunch of other MPISA case in point 1588 01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:21,639 Speaker 24: of that. But you know, a little bit of bad 1589 01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:23,639 Speaker 24: food every now and then is not the world's worst thing. 1590 01:24:24,120 --> 01:24:25,479 Speaker 2: You've got to enjoy life as well. 1591 01:24:25,840 --> 01:24:27,840 Speaker 3: Ax Brook van Velden actually. 1592 01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:29,360 Speaker 18: Have no problem with a kid having a pie for. 1593 01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:33,200 Speaker 3: Lunch, and Shane Jones, of course you had something to say, 1594 01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:37,960 Speaker 3: pie for Kai, Pie for Kai, but the opposition is 1595 01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:41,320 Speaker 3: not impressed. Chris Hipkins, a well known lover of pies. 1596 01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:44,600 Speaker 3: We know that from the last election feels sorry for 1597 01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:45,000 Speaker 3: the kids. 1598 01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:49,000 Speaker 4: Well, it's showing contempt for young people who really deserve 1599 01:24:49,040 --> 01:24:50,639 Speaker 4: to have a free and healthy lunch at school. 1600 01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:53,880 Speaker 3: And here's the Greens Riccardo and then there's much as. 1601 01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:56,320 Speaker 23: It shows that Christopher Luxeon and David Seemer are putting 1602 01:24:56,400 --> 01:24:59,120 Speaker 23: short term profit gains at the expense of the well 1603 01:24:59,120 --> 01:24:59,960 Speaker 23: being offer children. 1604 01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:03,760 Speaker 3: I do like a pie. I can really go pie 1605 01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:07,080 Speaker 3: right now, A pie and a coke. It's a balanced meal. 1606 01:25:07,479 --> 01:25:09,320 Speaker 3: Pie in the left hand, coke in the right hand. 1607 01:25:10,320 --> 01:25:15,519 Speaker 3: It's twenty two to seven. All right. I'm joined now 1608 01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:17,000 Speaker 3: by Sam Dickey for Fisher Funds. 1609 01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:20,040 Speaker 27: Hello, Sam, good even Andrew Love a good pine of 1610 01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:22,479 Speaker 27: coke yep, and. 1611 01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:24,839 Speaker 3: A cream donut for afters. 1612 01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:27,000 Speaker 27: Exactly cause it's square anyway. 1613 01:25:28,240 --> 01:25:31,000 Speaker 3: So tariffs they're on again, they're off again, but they're 1614 01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:34,200 Speaker 3: certainly around. What's happening with the market. 1615 01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:39,240 Speaker 27: Yeah, exceptionally fluid policy. Ryne and you guys have spoken 1616 01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:41,120 Speaker 27: a lot about that. Will they want their tariff journey. 1617 01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:45,760 Speaker 27: But it's not just tariff uncertainty. So there is uncertainty 1618 01:25:45,880 --> 01:25:49,120 Speaker 27: on the one hand, how potential tax cuts could stimulate 1619 01:25:49,160 --> 01:25:53,639 Speaker 27: the economy versus the DOGE or Department of government government 1620 01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:56,720 Speaker 27: efficiency inspired federal government cost cutting, which could be a 1621 01:25:56,800 --> 01:25:59,160 Speaker 27: drag on the economy. Then you've got uncertainty about the 1622 01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:04,200 Speaker 27: independence of the US federal reserves. So Chairman J. Powell 1623 01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:06,680 Speaker 27: retires it a little over twelve months, and Trump has 1624 01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:10,639 Speaker 27: made no secret he a wants interest rates lower now 1625 01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:13,960 Speaker 27: and b wants a loyalist to replace power. Powell, on 1626 01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:17,000 Speaker 27: the other hand, is trying to do his job independently, 1627 01:26:17,120 --> 01:26:20,200 Speaker 27: as it says on the TIN, which is to control inflation. 1628 01:26:20,439 --> 01:26:22,720 Speaker 27: And right now he has stopped cutting rates because the 1629 01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:25,679 Speaker 27: Fed is, as he said this week, close on inflation, 1630 01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:27,800 Speaker 27: but not there yet. And then of course you've got 1631 01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:31,679 Speaker 27: the US versus China computer chip war we've spoken about 1632 01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:35,280 Speaker 27: several times, which breeds its own version of uncertainty. 1633 01:26:35,960 --> 01:26:40,320 Speaker 3: He's right, the fair guy, because in fact, yesterday US 1634 01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:43,599 Speaker 3: inflation rates came in higher than expected, so it isn't 1635 01:26:43,720 --> 01:26:44,760 Speaker 3: under control. 1636 01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:47,720 Speaker 27: That's right, close on inflation, but not there yet. And 1637 01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:52,440 Speaker 27: we need independent central banks. That's why they are independent. 1638 01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:55,719 Speaker 27: So any thing that erodes in independence is a concern, 1639 01:26:56,120 --> 01:26:57,880 Speaker 27: and again creates that uncertainty. 1640 01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:00,200 Speaker 3: Well, and you just have to wonder, and I'm sorry, 1641 01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:02,240 Speaker 3: this is not Trump arrangement syndrome in any way it 1642 01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:04,000 Speaker 3: shape or form. But you have to wonder if Donald 1643 01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:06,880 Speaker 3: Trump is demanding the interest rates when inflation is still 1644 01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:09,040 Speaker 3: going up and the figures came out yesterday, whether he 1645 01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:10,120 Speaker 3: knows what could happen. 1646 01:27:11,400 --> 01:27:14,000 Speaker 27: Yeah, we probably hasn't studied the nineteen seventies as closely 1647 01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:18,639 Speaker 27: as Jay Powell. I suspect when the FED declared victory 1648 01:27:18,680 --> 01:27:21,280 Speaker 27: on inflation early and inflation took off again, we had 1649 01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:24,920 Speaker 27: a horrific great high cycle. But anyway, did there results? 1650 01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:26,360 Speaker 27: The Oh, there is not just tariffs. 1651 01:27:26,400 --> 01:27:28,960 Speaker 3: The point is that, so look what impacts is this 1652 01:27:29,439 --> 01:27:32,920 Speaker 3: happening on companies around the place and their bottom line 1653 01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:34,040 Speaker 3: and their projections. 1654 01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:37,479 Speaker 27: Yeah, early days on the bottom line, But imagine sitting 1655 01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:40,280 Speaker 27: in a boardroom in the US, also Southeast Asia or 1656 01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:43,360 Speaker 27: even Mexico or Canada right now today and been asked 1657 01:27:43,400 --> 01:27:46,800 Speaker 27: to sign off on a huge capital project which sort 1658 01:27:46,800 --> 01:27:49,360 Speaker 27: of spans the US or imports product into the US. 1659 01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:51,240 Speaker 27: All been asked to sign off on a three year 1660 01:27:51,280 --> 01:27:55,320 Speaker 27: strategy document with this type of extraordinary policy fluid in it, 1661 01:27:55,360 --> 01:27:57,840 Speaker 27: and it is starting to show up. So a small 1662 01:27:57,880 --> 01:28:00,400 Speaker 27: business survey in the US just released a couple days 1663 01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:04,400 Speaker 27: ago showed the second or third highest uncertainty reading in 1664 01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:08,120 Speaker 27: the past fifty years. And the last thing I would 1665 01:28:08,120 --> 01:28:11,120 Speaker 27: say on that is steels are a classic case or 1666 01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:14,160 Speaker 27: steel is a classic case of the uncertain impact of tariffs. 1667 01:28:14,240 --> 01:28:17,479 Speaker 27: So steel stocks, for example, ripped high when Trump was elected, 1668 01:28:17,479 --> 01:28:19,120 Speaker 27: and they ripped hire a few days ago when he 1669 01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:22,880 Speaker 27: did slap twenty five percent tariffs on Chinese steel imports. 1670 01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:26,240 Speaker 27: But what's super interesting is this the stocks now and 1671 01:28:26,360 --> 01:28:29,000 Speaker 27: now much lower than they were with pre Trump's election, 1672 01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:31,439 Speaker 27: because it reminds us these things don't happen in a vacuum. 1673 01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:33,720 Speaker 27: That the average steel bar on the US is not 1674 01:28:34,320 --> 01:28:38,160 Speaker 27: suddenly twenty five percent wealthier. So there's a lot going 1675 01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:40,240 Speaker 27: on there and the impacts are starting to show up. 1676 01:28:40,479 --> 01:28:43,240 Speaker 3: Has this sort of thing happened before? And if it has, 1677 01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:45,000 Speaker 3: what could we learn from it? 1678 01:28:46,080 --> 01:28:46,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1679 01:28:46,280 --> 01:28:49,240 Speaker 27: The most obvious parallel, I think is his last term. 1680 01:28:49,280 --> 01:28:51,400 Speaker 27: But the point of make there is that the starting 1681 01:28:51,479 --> 01:28:55,040 Speaker 27: points are very, very different. So last time the market 1682 01:28:55,120 --> 01:28:57,800 Speaker 27: was very viarius about Trump getting in, the bar was low, 1683 01:28:58,320 --> 01:29:00,679 Speaker 27: and he ended up being generally good for the economy. 1684 01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:03,800 Speaker 27: This time, the bar is much much higher. People expect 1685 01:29:03,800 --> 01:29:06,439 Speaker 27: he will do very good things for the economy, and 1686 01:29:06,479 --> 01:29:08,880 Speaker 27: that is already embedded in share prices before he has 1687 01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:12,200 Speaker 27: even done anything. And the other thing, of course, is 1688 01:29:12,240 --> 01:29:14,360 Speaker 27: that this time he's got a real head of steam 1689 01:29:14,439 --> 01:29:18,719 Speaker 27: up around policy changes, and policy uncertainty is significantly higher 1690 01:29:18,760 --> 01:29:19,759 Speaker 27: than it was last time. 1691 01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:22,400 Speaker 3: Okay, so what about the people with the money, the 1692 01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:24,840 Speaker 3: investors who are trying to figure out which company they 1693 01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:25,640 Speaker 3: should invest in. 1694 01:29:27,439 --> 01:29:29,400 Speaker 27: The easiest thing to say, I think is what Howard 1695 01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:31,920 Speaker 27: Mark said is I don't know. No one really does, 1696 01:29:32,040 --> 01:29:34,080 Speaker 27: and I'm not sure some of his aides know from 1697 01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:36,519 Speaker 27: day to day what sort of policy is going to 1698 01:29:36,560 --> 01:29:38,360 Speaker 27: come out. But what we do know for sure is 1699 01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:42,240 Speaker 27: that this level of policy uncertainty is unprecedented and expectations 1700 01:29:42,240 --> 01:29:45,120 Speaker 27: are high, and that is one of the reasons why Europe, China, 1701 01:29:45,160 --> 01:29:48,640 Speaker 27: and even Mexican equity markets are significantly outperform in the 1702 01:29:48,720 --> 01:29:51,920 Speaker 27: US so far this year. But one thing we do 1703 01:29:52,080 --> 01:29:54,439 Speaker 27: know for sure, Andrew, is if you were sitting near 1704 01:29:54,479 --> 01:29:57,439 Speaker 27: Trump at as inauguration, like the heads of Google, Meta 1705 01:29:57,479 --> 01:30:01,080 Speaker 27: and Amazon were, this uncertainty didn't stop their boards from 1706 01:30:01,120 --> 01:30:03,839 Speaker 27: signing a combined three hundred and twenty billion dollar KPIX 1707 01:30:03,880 --> 01:30:04,679 Speaker 27: bill for this year. 1708 01:30:05,560 --> 01:30:08,600 Speaker 3: Okay, great stuff, Sam Fisher, you are very interesting and 1709 01:30:08,720 --> 01:30:10,040 Speaker 3: very easy to listen to it, and I thank you 1710 01:30:10,080 --> 01:30:12,599 Speaker 3: for your time today. And Sam is from Fisher Funds. Meanwhile, 1711 01:30:12,880 --> 01:30:15,120 Speaker 3: on my television in the corner of the studio there 1712 01:30:15,240 --> 01:30:18,280 Speaker 3: is in fact Jerome Powell sitting there talking up free trade. 1713 01:30:18,360 --> 01:30:21,679 Speaker 3: So you can tell already there's some considerable differences between 1714 01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:24,519 Speaker 3: the head of the Fed and the President of the 1715 01:30:24,600 --> 01:30:28,679 Speaker 3: United States of America. Now, Steve writes, the kids will 1716 01:30:28,720 --> 01:30:31,120 Speaker 3: love pie day. The kids will now want it once 1717 01:30:31,160 --> 01:30:34,559 Speaker 3: a week, Yes they will. Andrew is a bit rich 1718 01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:37,719 Speaker 3: of hipkins to criticize a pie when they offered KFC 1719 01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:40,280 Speaker 3: and Coca Cola to entice people to vote for them. 1720 01:30:40,640 --> 01:30:42,840 Speaker 3: Thank you so much, Rob and Grant says, we'll just 1721 01:30:42,880 --> 01:30:45,320 Speaker 3: get rid of the school hunches. They've been a debacle 1722 01:30:45,360 --> 01:30:48,400 Speaker 3: all along. It is sixteen to seven and to Brady 1723 01:30:48,439 --> 01:30:49,599 Speaker 3: out of Europe is next. 1724 01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:54,000 Speaker 1: Whether it's Macro microbe or just playing economics, it's all 1725 01:30:54,080 --> 01:30:58,160 Speaker 1: on the Business hours with Andrew Dickens scant theirs, insurance 1726 01:30:58,240 --> 01:31:01,240 Speaker 1: and investments, throw your protect your future. 1727 01:31:01,280 --> 01:31:02,240 Speaker 2: These dogs. 1728 01:31:04,200 --> 01:31:06,880 Speaker 3: Just get better and better, best attendance numbers of the 1729 01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:10,360 Speaker 3: year will be tomorrow. Most will go to school just 1730 01:31:10,479 --> 01:31:14,479 Speaker 3: to eat their pie for lunch. All right, it's thirteen 1731 01:31:14,479 --> 01:31:16,760 Speaker 3: minutes to seven. It's got to Europe and we've got 1732 01:31:16,760 --> 01:31:17,599 Speaker 3: into Brady on the line. 1733 01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:21,160 Speaker 6: Hello, Enda, Hey, Andrew, good morning, Hello, good evening to you. 1734 01:31:22,479 --> 01:31:24,960 Speaker 3: It is good evening and it is a very fine evening, 1735 01:31:25,040 --> 01:31:27,800 Speaker 3: and thank you very much. Now we've got Putin and 1736 01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:31,840 Speaker 3: Trump heavy at chet. They're wanting peace, They're wanting to 1737 01:31:31,920 --> 01:31:38,439 Speaker 3: swap land. The US doesn't want to support NATO. There 1738 01:31:38,520 --> 01:31:41,240 Speaker 3: is Ukraine being sidelined and all of us. 1739 01:31:41,800 --> 01:31:44,559 Speaker 6: I think that is the huge concern now, and certainly 1740 01:31:44,680 --> 01:31:47,719 Speaker 6: in the capital Kiev, they will be very, very worried 1741 01:31:47,920 --> 01:31:51,320 Speaker 6: that this phone call lasted ninety minutes between Trump and Putin, 1742 01:31:51,800 --> 01:31:55,479 Speaker 6: and what we're seeing is effectively Russia being brought back 1743 01:31:55,520 --> 01:31:58,320 Speaker 6: into the international fold, no longer going to be a 1744 01:31:58,360 --> 01:32:02,080 Speaker 6: pariah state because Donald Trump seems to think that, you know, 1745 01:32:02,240 --> 01:32:05,160 Speaker 6: he himself wants a Nobel Peace Prize. A lot of 1746 01:32:05,200 --> 01:32:07,040 Speaker 6: people in Europe have been saying this to me for 1747 01:32:07,160 --> 01:32:09,760 Speaker 6: months when they come on my TV show, that this 1748 01:32:09,920 --> 01:32:12,599 Speaker 6: is what Trump will do. It's all about Trump getting 1749 01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:15,599 Speaker 6: the Nobel Peace Prize. That's what's driving him, No great 1750 01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:19,679 Speaker 6: thirst for peace or anything else. It's it's personal kind 1751 01:32:19,720 --> 01:32:24,000 Speaker 6: of gain. And again the transactional president in operation. Now, 1752 01:32:24,520 --> 01:32:27,280 Speaker 6: I've interviewed the Russian ambassador in London several times in 1753 01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:30,920 Speaker 6: the last three years, and each time he has set 1754 01:32:30,960 --> 01:32:34,160 Speaker 6: out what will be needed for Russia to end the war. 1755 01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:39,559 Speaker 6: They use a phrase consistently, the denazification of Ukraine. They 1756 01:32:39,600 --> 01:32:42,280 Speaker 6: see Zelensky, believe it or not, they see him as 1757 01:32:42,280 --> 01:32:46,519 Speaker 6: a Nazi. So Russia wants Zelensky gone and some sort 1758 01:32:46,560 --> 01:32:49,640 Speaker 6: of I'm guessing a puppet regime in Kiev. So effectively 1759 01:32:49,760 --> 01:32:52,760 Speaker 6: Ukraine will be under Kremlin control. They want to keep 1760 01:32:52,800 --> 01:32:55,559 Speaker 6: all the land of Russia has invaded and occupied and 1761 01:32:55,640 --> 01:32:59,400 Speaker 6: seized in the last three years. They want Ukraine not 1762 01:32:59,439 --> 01:33:01,400 Speaker 6: to be able to do on NATO and not to 1763 01:33:01,400 --> 01:33:04,559 Speaker 6: be able to join the European Union. So effectively Ukraine 1764 01:33:04,560 --> 01:33:06,880 Speaker 6: will become a shadow state of Russia, and. 1765 01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:10,240 Speaker 3: That would be defeat. And yeah, yeah, but at the 1766 01:33:10,240 --> 01:33:12,439 Speaker 3: same time, so many people have died, one hundred and 1767 01:33:12,479 --> 01:33:16,439 Speaker 3: twenty thousand dead, you know, seventy thousand Russians alone, So 1768 01:33:16,560 --> 01:33:17,120 Speaker 3: much blood. 1769 01:33:18,400 --> 01:33:20,840 Speaker 6: Yes, look the bloodshed and the loss of life has 1770 01:33:20,880 --> 01:33:24,320 Speaker 6: been catastrophic and terrible. I was in Davos a couple 1771 01:33:24,360 --> 01:33:27,559 Speaker 6: of weeks ago and I heard Zelenski speak, and afterwards 1772 01:33:27,600 --> 01:33:29,680 Speaker 6: I heard a group of Americans saying that, you know, 1773 01:33:30,080 --> 01:33:33,000 Speaker 6: this guy just needs to talk peace now and sit down. 1774 01:33:32,720 --> 01:33:35,200 Speaker 6: And so I challenged him on what was said, and 1775 01:33:35,920 --> 01:33:38,320 Speaker 6: they said that there was fatigue. This was the phrase 1776 01:33:38,360 --> 01:33:41,120 Speaker 6: the Americans used to me, that fatigue was setting in 1777 01:33:41,160 --> 01:33:43,599 Speaker 6: after three years. And I said, hang on, we wind 1778 01:33:43,600 --> 01:33:46,599 Speaker 6: the clock back in history to nineteen forty two. I said, 1779 01:33:46,640 --> 01:33:49,080 Speaker 6: there was a lot of people, probably in America, we're 1780 01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:51,639 Speaker 6: talking about fatigue. Then I said, you're going to give 1781 01:33:51,680 --> 01:33:54,200 Speaker 6: Hitler what he wanted after three years, because I think 1782 01:33:54,479 --> 01:33:58,160 Speaker 6: the major worry now is that Putin once he realizes 1783 01:33:58,160 --> 01:34:01,880 Speaker 6: he can get what he wants in power. I'd be 1784 01:34:01,880 --> 01:34:06,840 Speaker 6: worried if I was in Lithuania, Estonia, lat Fear these countries. 1785 01:34:07,760 --> 01:34:11,200 Speaker 3: Okay, who have just separated themselves from the Russian power 1786 01:34:11,840 --> 01:34:13,920 Speaker 3: and gone to Europe, because I guess they can see 1787 01:34:13,960 --> 01:34:17,040 Speaker 3: what's coming up. Let's talk about to England and a 1788 01:34:17,080 --> 01:34:18,479 Speaker 3: third runway at Heathrow. 1789 01:34:19,840 --> 01:34:22,960 Speaker 6: Yes, So this was the great scheme announced a few 1790 01:34:22,960 --> 01:34:25,840 Speaker 6: weeks ago by Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor or Finance Minister 1791 01:34:26,160 --> 01:34:29,120 Speaker 6: to get growth in the UK economy. What's happened now 1792 01:34:29,240 --> 01:34:32,040 Speaker 6: is the new chief executive Heathrow. He traveled up to 1793 01:34:32,920 --> 01:34:36,040 Speaker 6: Scunthorpe in the north of England. It's a steel producing town. 1794 01:34:36,080 --> 01:34:39,080 Speaker 6: It's a town built on steel production. He gave a 1795 01:34:39,080 --> 01:34:42,360 Speaker 6: major speech there and he said that he believes there 1796 01:34:42,360 --> 01:34:45,120 Speaker 6: will be flights taying taking off from a third runway 1797 01:34:45,160 --> 01:34:48,800 Speaker 6: in Heathrow within ten years. And he said to facilitate 1798 01:34:48,840 --> 01:34:51,000 Speaker 6: all of this and the extra numbers, he wants to 1799 01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:54,720 Speaker 6: expand Terminal five and Terminal two at Heathrow. And he 1800 01:34:54,840 --> 01:34:57,680 Speaker 6: signed a deal saying he will use British steel to 1801 01:34:57,720 --> 01:34:59,800 Speaker 6: do that. So at a time when there's a lot 1802 01:34:59,800 --> 01:35:03,759 Speaker 6: of ti talk about tariffs on steel by President Trump, 1803 01:35:03,880 --> 01:35:07,880 Speaker 6: this is absolutely a boost for the UK industry. But 1804 01:35:07,960 --> 01:35:10,600 Speaker 6: I think he's being very optimistic. I can't see a 1805 01:35:10,640 --> 01:35:12,599 Speaker 6: third runway at Heathrow inside a dechead. 1806 01:35:13,160 --> 01:35:15,160 Speaker 3: Okay, well, why do you need it? You've got you 1807 01:35:15,240 --> 01:35:17,200 Speaker 3: got Heathrow, you got get what you got Sten Steed. 1808 01:35:17,240 --> 01:35:19,679 Speaker 3: I mean, how many how many runways do you guys need? 1809 01:35:20,760 --> 01:35:25,519 Speaker 6: Yeah, there's Southampton, there's South End, there's Luton. Yeah, yeah, honestly, 1810 01:35:26,320 --> 01:35:28,719 Speaker 6: you know, smart people are saying here when I interview 1811 01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:31,439 Speaker 6: business leaders, they're all saying to me, you know, put 1812 01:35:31,439 --> 01:35:33,800 Speaker 6: the capacity into some of the other airports and lift 1813 01:35:33,840 --> 01:35:38,000 Speaker 6: them up Heathrow. This will never fly because you've got 1814 01:35:38,240 --> 01:35:41,080 Speaker 6: hundreds and hundreds of people's homes that you're just gonna 1815 01:35:41,080 --> 01:35:43,000 Speaker 6: have to demolish to make way for a third runway. 1816 01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:44,519 Speaker 3: Okay, well, look I can tell you what you do. 1817 01:35:44,600 --> 01:35:47,040 Speaker 3: You can put a bridges into Stanstead because I qed 1818 01:35:47,080 --> 01:35:49,240 Speaker 3: there in January once and it was freezing cold and 1819 01:35:49,240 --> 01:35:51,080 Speaker 3: I had to walk along the runway through the rain 1820 01:35:51,160 --> 01:35:53,120 Speaker 3: to get into a plane, and I thought, which country 1821 01:35:53,160 --> 01:35:53,679 Speaker 3: am I in? 1822 01:35:54,760 --> 01:35:57,439 Speaker 6: Yeah, your step count if you landed London stands, then 1823 01:35:57,560 --> 01:35:59,760 Speaker 6: check your watch after you finally got to where you 1824 01:35:59,800 --> 01:36:02,839 Speaker 6: need to be, because you've done the equivalent of half marathon. 1825 01:36:03,160 --> 01:36:03,360 Speaker 12: Yeh. 1826 01:36:05,160 --> 01:36:08,360 Speaker 3: Finally. Jim recuff Sir Jim Reccuffe and Ineos, we're no 1827 01:36:08,479 --> 01:36:10,240 Speaker 3: fans of him at the moment because he wants to 1828 01:36:10,240 --> 01:36:13,759 Speaker 3: take his money away from the Obecks with the Ineos branding. Meanwhile, 1829 01:36:13,760 --> 01:36:16,679 Speaker 3: he spent two point seven billion dollars by Manchester United 1830 01:36:16,880 --> 01:36:19,759 Speaker 3: and now he's firing everybody and the team frankly is tanking. 1831 01:36:20,880 --> 01:36:23,760 Speaker 6: Yes exactly. So we're all aware of what's going on 1832 01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:26,559 Speaker 6: with NZI Rugby. We've seen that story. No one in 1833 01:36:26,640 --> 01:36:28,840 Speaker 6: any way shocked at all this week by that, by 1834 01:36:28,880 --> 01:36:32,360 Speaker 6: the way, in Europe. Yes, so he's a local boy. 1835 01:36:32,439 --> 01:36:35,320 Speaker 6: When he took over Manchester United, everyone felt wow, a 1836 01:36:35,360 --> 01:36:39,200 Speaker 6: guy from Salesworth owning twenty eight percent of the club Salesworth, 1837 01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:43,920 Speaker 6: Greater Manchester. He's from very humble origins. He went off 1838 01:36:43,920 --> 01:36:46,759 Speaker 6: to university, he founded Ineos. He is now a multi 1839 01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:51,320 Speaker 6: multi squillionaire man United fans had high hopes when Ratcliffe 1840 01:36:51,360 --> 01:36:54,040 Speaker 6: came in. They thought, okay, locally guy, he's an actual 1841 01:36:54,200 --> 01:36:56,720 Speaker 6: United fan. He will just pump rivers of money into 1842 01:36:56,720 --> 01:36:58,840 Speaker 6: the club. He's put a lot of money in, but 1843 01:36:58,960 --> 01:37:02,479 Speaker 6: now he's making cutback. There are rumors of one hundred 1844 01:37:02,560 --> 01:37:06,320 Speaker 6: redundancies coming off the back of several hundred redundancies in 1845 01:37:06,320 --> 01:37:10,200 Speaker 6: the summer just gone one. Lady Jackie Kaye, head of 1846 01:37:10,200 --> 01:37:15,040 Speaker 6: operations at United matchdown Logistics, she got the sack this week. 1847 01:37:15,120 --> 01:37:18,479 Speaker 6: She's been at the club thirty years. Newspapers have described 1848 01:37:18,479 --> 01:37:21,720 Speaker 6: her as the oil in the man United machine, and 1849 01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:24,520 Speaker 6: Ratcliffe got rid of her. So he is utterly ruthless. 1850 01:37:24,880 --> 01:37:28,040 Speaker 6: There are cost cuttings coming. But if I was Ratcliffe, 1851 01:37:28,040 --> 01:37:29,600 Speaker 6: I'd be looking at some of the players on the 1852 01:37:29,600 --> 01:37:33,240 Speaker 6: pitch picking off half a million dollars a week enz 1853 01:37:33,800 --> 01:37:36,439 Speaker 6: to play soccer and look where they are in the league. 1854 01:37:36,520 --> 01:37:38,200 Speaker 6: Quite frankly, just not good enough. 1855 01:37:38,360 --> 01:37:41,880 Speaker 3: He blames the industrialization of Europe and he's losing money, 1856 01:37:41,920 --> 01:37:44,360 Speaker 3: and he's got five billion dollars worth of sports investments 1857 01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:46,840 Speaker 3: around the world. It's not just Menu and the old 1858 01:37:46,880 --> 01:37:50,760 Speaker 3: Beckslzenne and Switzerland is the nice club in France. I mean, 1859 01:37:51,439 --> 01:37:53,479 Speaker 3: he's in a stuck and he never start it coming, 1860 01:37:53,520 --> 01:37:54,000 Speaker 3: it seems. 1861 01:37:54,040 --> 01:37:56,400 Speaker 6: But with run Edd, Yeah, look he's down Andrew, He's 1862 01:37:56,400 --> 01:37:59,479 Speaker 6: down to his last fifty billion dollars.
