Today the tragedy 6 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 2: at the Mount Mayor Mayor the Mahi Draja on the 7 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 2: latest also a review the ultra richer buying up queens Stale. 8 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 2: Where are they coming from? We've got calls from new 9 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 2: rules for airbnbs to free up housing stock. Meanwhile, what's 10 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 2: happening to tenants with pets? We're going to ask if 11 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 2: our shops are open long enough. And the dad of 12 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 2: our most promising runner and generation, Sam Ruther, then is 13 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 2: joining us later, Richard Arnold's from the States. We've got 14 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 2: to Steve Price from Australia and you can have your say. 15 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 2: Ninety two ninety two is a number of small charge applies. 16 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens, Right, For a long. 17 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 2: Time, I've been somewhat supportive of the current American administration. 18 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 2: They won a mandate. I understood that the mandate to 19 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 2: improve America to be to bring jobs back to bring 20 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 2: manufacturing back to stop being take an advantage of on 21 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 2: the world stage. But he really went too far. Now 22 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 2: the President has claimed that NATO does nothing for America. 23 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 2: He has claimed that NATO troops avoided the front line 24 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 2: in Afghanistan. But the only time Article five has been 25 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,199 Speaker 2: invoked was for America after nine to eleven. NATO came 26 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 2: to America's aid after they called, and in that war, 27 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 2: NATO troops and New Zealand troops died, and the President 28 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,839 Speaker 2: claimed they were not on the front line. Ask Willie 29 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 2: Apiata if his mates were on the front line or not. 30 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 2: What the President doesn't understand is that in modern warfare, 31 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 2: everywhere is the front line. Or maybe he thinks that 32 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 2: troops still line up and charge each other like they 33 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 2: did in the movie Braveheart. The fact is the current 34 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: commander in chief has no military smarts. He dodged the 35 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 2: draft five times, he spent the Afghanistan War swaning around 36 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 2: New York big noting. And the reason I feel strongly 37 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 2: about what he said about NATO and the troops and 38 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 2: the front line is there is a simple rule in 39 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 2: public life, do not abuse the people who give their 40 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 2: lives for your country. So over the weekend, the President 41 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 2: acknowledged the heroism of four hundred and fifty seven Brits 42 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 2: who died in Afghanistan. He did this on truth social 43 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 2: No other troops were acknowledged. It wasn't out of his mouth. 44 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 2: He never said sorry. I think the President's weaknesses that 45 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 2: he thinks he is the biggest game in town. Well 46 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 2: he is, but he also thinks he's the only game 47 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 2: in town, which he isn't. And the other big fish 48 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 2: who have faced the world alone for a lot longer 49 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 2: than American know this. You know who I'm talking about, 50 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 2: and they will exploit this if the President keeps up 51 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 2: his ad hoc shoot from the lip style. Meanwhile, Phil 52 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 2: Goff reckons that Winston Peters should call the President out 53 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 2: on this. Well should he? Or are there too many risks? 54 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 2: You can text week ninety two ninety two who news 55 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: of the world in ninety seconds it's ten out to six. 56 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 3: Sir. 57 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 2: Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has been blocked by Labor to 58 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 2: run for MP at Starmar and Co. Reckon is because 59 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 2: they don't want to trigger a costly mayoral election if 60 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: he were to leave that job, not because he is 61 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 2: absolutely a leadership threat. 62 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 4: It's very deep seated factionalism inside the Labor Party and 63 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 4: people will do anything to hold on to power even 64 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 4: if it's not in the interests of the Labor Party 65 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 4: or the government of the day. 66 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 2: So the vote was eight to one against. Stammer still 67 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 2: has his supporters. 68 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 5: When we know that it could cost four point seven 69 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 5: million pounds to hold a mayoral by election, I don't 70 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 5: think I could justify that to my constituents as to 71 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 5: why that is a good use of taxpayers money. 72 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 2: So to the states in christi nom is doubling down 73 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 2: on the ICU nurse for veterans being a danger to 74 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 2: the ICE agents because him carrying a gun was proof 75 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 2: of it all. 76 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 6: I don't know of any peaceful protester that shows up 77 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 6: with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign. This 78 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 6: is a violent riot when you have someone showing up 79 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 6: with weapons and are using them to assault. 80 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: Lawn for or he could just be exercising his Second 81 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 2: Amendment right to bear arms. But there we are. Keshpttel 82 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 2: has jumped on board too. As the judge rules that 83 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 2: the Trump administration cannot destroy any evidence related to the case. 84 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 7: You do not get to attack law enforcement officials in 85 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 7: this country without any repercussions. You do not get to 86 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 7: do that in Minnesota, La, or anywhere else. Trust Secretary, Nouns, 87 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 7: leadership and DHS and h aside to do the right 88 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 7: thing as they've always done in these scenarios. 89 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 2: I mean, well, he has a bit of fun. Professional 90 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 2: rock climber Alex Honald has completed his climb of Type 91 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 2: A one oh one, the world's eleventh tallest building. He 92 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 2: climbed the whole thing without any gear. 93 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 8: It is tiring, but honestly it's way more fun. You know, 94 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 8: you start your kind of nervous moment you actually start climbing, 95 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 8: You're like, oh, this is amazing. I mean, look at 96 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 8: the day, it's so beautiful. It's like look a Type so. 97 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 2: For he's mad. Took him an hour and a half. 98 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: The spectators loved it, well attacked. 99 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: You must have put in a tremendous amount of preparation 100 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: before taking this on. 101 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 2: People abroad are probably just focused. 102 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: On how fast he'll finish, because there's no doubt he'll succeed. 103 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 3: Yes, since I'm kind of good. 104 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: To seeing it in person, there is a whole different 105 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: level of intensity. 106 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 2: Oh come on, were they there for his success or 107 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 2: the possibility he might fail. I don't know. And as 108 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 2: France becomes the latest to look at bantning under sixteen 109 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 2: from social media, then the American Academy of Pediatrics says 110 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 2: limiting screen time for kids is no longer enough. They 111 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 2: say emphasis needs to go on companies and society to 112 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 2: do more because parents can't be expected to watch their 113 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 2: kid twenty four to seven to make sure they aren't 114 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 2: on a screen. Instead, they say limits need to be 115 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 2: put on the algorithms that are presented to youths so 116 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 2: they aren't let down dangerous rabbit holes just like their 117 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 2: parents are scrolling away on the old Instagram. It is 118 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 2: six thirteen, all right. I was trying to Cameron Baggery 119 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 2: last week and he was starting to get the feeling 120 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 2: in his bones that the ocr might be headed up 121 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 2: this year rather than down. It's all because the inflation 122 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 2: remains a bit sticky. Now that would be a real 123 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 2: dampner on the government's recovery party. So how real is 124 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 2: that threat? In the moment, Kelly Echold from Westpac will 125 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 2: have his thoughts and his worry that the States is 126 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 2: heading for another shutdown because Democrats are causing a Ruckus 127 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 2: over the Minnesota crack down. Kelly Echold is next at 128 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 2: six thirteen. 129 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 130 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: by News Talks. 131 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 9: It be. 132 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 2: Tex Sir Andrew sounds like Goff is in the running 133 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 2: for Tippy's job. Can't think of any other reason he 134 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 2: would think that we are interested in his thoughts about 135 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 2: the President and NATO. Thank you, Alfie for your text. Alfie. 136 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 2: It might be that mister Goff was fired by Winston 137 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 2: Peters's High Commissioners to London, so there's a little bit 138 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 2: of revenge to be taken. 139 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 4: Money. 140 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 2: It is six sixteen and we're joined by Kelly Echold. 141 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 2: Kelly is the respect Tief Economists. Good morning to you. 142 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 9: Good morning. 143 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 2: So the old inflation means that we could be getting 144 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,679 Speaker 2: some rate rises maybe. 145 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 9: Well, it's looking on the CAR. I mean, I think 146 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 9: it was the only one forecasting a rate rise in 147 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 9: twenty twenty six before this week, but now it looks 148 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 9: like there's a few colleagues on the street thinking that 149 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 9: as well. CPI over the target range three point one percent, 150 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 9: so that surpassed sort of even the expectations that we've 151 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 9: been pushing up in the last few weeks, and unfortunately 152 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 9: it's not because it's just one thing. There's broad based 153 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 9: enough inflation there that means well, the core inflation measures 154 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 9: they're not over three percent, but they're basically stuck in 155 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 9: the top quarter of the range. So the the bank 156 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 9: doesn't really have much room to maneuver. They have been 157 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 9: comfortable with the idea that the rates will stay about 158 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 9: where they are because there's a lot of excess capacity 159 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 9: in the colony. The unemployment rates still high, but you'd 160 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 9: have seen all of those economic indicators suggesting that we're 161 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 9: getting some growth now. So I mean, I think it 162 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 9: is looking like the case that will get at least 163 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 9: one and maybe a couple of things keep on the 164 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 9: way it is. 165 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 2: Thank you, So Matt me onto the States. The US 166 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 2: President might go left field for the next FED chair. 167 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 9: Yeah. Yeah, Well, there's been a spooky development on Friday actually, 168 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 9: where if you're aware, there's this poly market betting market 169 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 9: which basically allows people to bet on just about anything, 170 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 9: and one of them is who's going to be FED 171 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 9: chair and Trump in the last few days he's been 172 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 9: complaining that all of his conventional picks and there's a 173 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 9: couple of people already on the board, Kevin Watt, Walsh 174 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 9: and Chris Waller, who who he thinks, Well, they tell 175 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 9: him he's going to do one thing, but then they 176 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 9: end up being hawkishub effecked. So all of a sudden 177 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 9: on Friday, somebody opened an account and put a big 178 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 9: bet on Wrecked Rider, who's a black Rock executive to 179 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 9: do it and has claimed to fame is that he's 180 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 9: quite dubvish and he wants to use the FED balance 181 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 9: sheet force long term interist rates lower. So that's looking 182 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 9: like it's a fifty to fifty chance on that betting 183 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 9: market at the moment, and people are speculating, is that 184 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 9: a white House account that's potentially putting that bet in. 185 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 2: I Meanwhile, we're talking a lot about the feeding inside 186 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 2: your bones, and you're getting your feeding inside your bones. 187 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 2: That there might be another US government shut down because 188 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 2: of the Argibarji in Minnesota. 189 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, well that's right. I mean, we've had a 190 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 9: period of instability in the politics over there. We had 191 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 9: a long shutdown towards you end last year, and now 192 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 9: with Ice having shot another person in the SITA over 193 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 9: the weekend, the Democratic Senators have put their foot down 194 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 9: and saying they won't support the funding bill that needs 195 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 9: to go through this week, and otherwise we get a 196 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 9: government shut down. I mean again the betting markets, you 197 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 9: are saying it's a seventy five percent ability, So there'll 198 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 9: be another period of instability as their fight their way 199 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 9: through that.

And those are 342 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 14: people who are actually moving to the country, and and 343 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 14: so that they are the same mix of people as 344 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 14: we've previously had moved into the country, the particularly wealthy ones, 345 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 14: I mean privacy, security and longevity and you know, quality. 346 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 2: And from what do you from what you've said to them, 347 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 2: what they've said to you, do they want to contribute 348 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 2: to the economy beyond just buying a house? 349 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 3: Yeah? Interesting. 350 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 14: They sort of fall into two camps, and that the 351 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 14: first is certainly the majority, which are a lot of 352 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,679 Speaker 14: these are very genuine people. A lot of them have 353 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 14: you know, formed connections with people all over the world 354 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 14: and and have in fact spent plenty of time here 355 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:48,719 Speaker 14: as well. Be that and coincidence itself for all New Zealand. 356 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 14: So I think as much as as locals wouldn't want 357 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 14: them to do the opposite, these people don't want to 358 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 14: sort of you know, buy a home here and and 359 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 14: spend such little time here that they feel like aliens. 360 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 2: Well, this is right, This is what everyone is worried 361 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 2: about ghost houses. They buy a house here, but they 362 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 2: never live in them. 363 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 14: About sixty percent of the properties that they're buying aren't 364 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 14: lived in anyway. Regardless of who they are, who they 365 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 14: are owned by. But perhaps more importantly, I mean those 366 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 14: sixty percent are currently owned mostly by New Zealander's Australians, 367 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 14: our small percentage of those based overseas. 368 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 2: So here's the cam Here's the thing though, what does 369 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 2: Queen Sound look like in ten years? Will it just 370 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 2: be a global playground for the rich? 371 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 14: No? I mean the rich account for a very small 372 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 14: percentage of the actual population here, and the homes that 373 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 14: are being established and bought by the rich are account 374 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 14: for a very small percentage as well. I mean we're 375 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 14: talking about several hundred properties in the scheme of twelve 376 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 14: fourteen thousand properties, and that all of that money coming 377 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 14: in assists to the unfortunate reality, which is that our 378 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 14: economy is entirely reliant on growth. 379 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 2: Good only came went a good day for business obviously 380 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 2: came as the founder and managing director of Oliver Road 381 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 2: Luxury real Estate, who are seeing an increase in business 382 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 2: from Poland but not France, and as US talks b 383 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 2: it is eighteen to seven.

But 388 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 2: to tell the story about all of that, we've got 389 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 2: Richard Arnold, who will join us right after the break. 390 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 2: It is seventeen to seven. 391 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:57,479 Speaker 1: The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 392 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: by News Talks a b. 393 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 2: What News Talks.

And I know 517 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,719 Speaker 2: what you're talking about there. You're talking about Mali who 518 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 2: took over in two thousand and seven, so I know 519 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 2: some of the blame game over the weekend was on 520 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 2: co governance. Another textas says that you have not mentioned 521 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,120 Speaker 2: the other big elephant in the room, how all those 522 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 2: trees got cut down to it like a city council 523 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 2: and active partner in the face of that. And this, 524 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 2: by the way, is a very important thing to talk 525 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 2: about because mini manga throughout Auckland have exactly the same thing. 526 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 2: So we need to learn about that me and one 527 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 2: must says, we haven't even found the bodies yet at 528 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 2: the campground, so isn't it a bit disrespectful to be 529 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 2: talking about a blame game at the moment? What would 530 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 2: you think if it was your loved one in there? 531 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 2: But loved ones are looking for answers as to why 532 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 2: this happened, and I get that as well, And there 533 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 2: is the need to find meaning in the tragedy and 534 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 2: what happens if it rains tomorrow like it rained last 535 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,640 Speaker 2: week and we make the same mistakes all over again. 536 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 2: I think it is time to start talking, and Mahidreza 537 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 2: will be talking after seven. 538 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: All the ins and the outs. It's the fizz with 539 00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: business fiber take your business productivity to the next level. 540 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 2: So the old weight loss drugs, the old zempic and 541 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 2: stuff causing a lot of different trends to emerge. So 542 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 2: University College in London looked at all the data. One 543 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 2: point six million people use the weight loss jabs in 544 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. That's a lot, but how about this, 545 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 2: there's another six times that number who said they'd be 546 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 2: interested in trying the drugs. So anyway, the university looked 547 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 2: into the trends that have emerged. First is the grocery shop. 548 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,959 Speaker 2: Apparently the food bill has gone down because people are 549 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 2: eating smaller meals and they're eating things like smoothies and 550 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 2: protein rich products and therefore they're buying nest in the grocery. 551 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 2: The restaurants are suffering and those are offering takeaways because 552 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 2: people just date eaten so much. The reports here's the 553 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 2: number of takeaways ordered at nights out at restaurants have 554 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 2: dropped significant and they contribute to both these weight loss 555 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 2: drest They say this is because of the weight loss jabs. Plus, 556 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 2: of course there's the economy. Restaurants like Heston Blumenthales that 557 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 2: are fat duck now have new menus, smaller portions geared 558 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 2: towards those who are in appetite suppressed. Its supermarkets losing 559 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,479 Speaker 2: out on booze money because the quitting the booze at 560 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 2: the same time. So the food businesses aren't doing well. 561 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 2: Two sectors though, are first if you sell clothes, because 562 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 2: there's a whole lot of skinny clothes whose fat clothes 563 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 2: no longer fit an he wore, so that he made 564 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 2: a whole new wardrobe. And then of course, plastic surgery. 565 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 2: Data from the British Esthetic Plastic Surgeons showed an eight 566 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 2: percent increase in facelifts from twenty twenty four, and the 567 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 2: President says there's a pattern that they're seeing from weight 568 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 2: loss drug patients as they try to get rid of 569 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 2: all that loose skin because you lose all the fat 570 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 2: round the tummy and then your tummy ends out around 571 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 2: your knees, going with bly whob. You've got to cut 572 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 2: that off as well. So look at this everything, Everything 573 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 2: has unintended or sometimes even intended consequences, doesn't it. So 574 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 2: it's coming up what three minutes to seven, Mahi Drivesdale 575 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 2: is moments away later. We're going to talk about these 576 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 2: new rules about pets being allowed in rental properties.

Too uh? 652 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 19: That will be all all looked at along with you know, 653 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 19: the slope and stability. What did we know, what did 654 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 19: we not and you know what did we know in 655 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 19: the morning of the event. You know, was there a slip? 656 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 19: You know who who was notified about that? You know 657 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,839 Speaker 19: what decisions were made, et cetera. So that there's there's 658 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 19: a lot of information, you know, but we are we 659 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,799 Speaker 19: are just very clear. The terms of reference will only 660 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 19: be up until about nine twenty three when the slip happened. 661 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 19: Anything that happened after that, there'll be further investigations, I'm 662 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 19: sure by the the relevant parties, and clearly you know, 663 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,920 Speaker 19: with with the sad loss of life, you know the 664 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 19: coroner will will also step in. We're not we're not 665 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:57,399 Speaker 19: trying to get in the way of those investigations. Those 666 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 19: will happen, but you know, we want to know from 667 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 19: what happened up until the time of that slip, and 668 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 19: what have. 669 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 2: We learned for tomorrow, because allegations are fine that we've 670 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 2: had five years of extreme weather on the East Coast 671 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 2: and multiple occurrences of this kind of events and slippages 672 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 2: all over the place, and this could have been predicted. 673 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 2: So how can we be sure that places are safe 674 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,879 Speaker 2: if it starts to rain like it rained last week, 675 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 2: but it rains like this tomorrow. 676 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 19: Yeah, look at the end of the day, we live 677 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:34,880 Speaker 19: in a country of in stable soils, and you know, 678 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 19: hug do you look at any event we're going to 679 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 19: have slips. It's very hard in a lot of cases 680 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,799 Speaker 19: to predict where and when those those may happen. And 681 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 19: you know, I think if we went and red stick 682 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 19: at every every house in the city that was around 683 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,279 Speaker 19: a potential slip, you know, I don't think I don't 684 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 19: think that would satisfy. So you know, there is it's 685 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 19: about risk, it's about managing risk, and you know, unfortunately 686 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 19: sometimes you know, these sort of things happen. This is 687 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 19: that tragedy, and we want to know whether there should 688 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,400 Speaker 19: have been more done, and you know, those those of 689 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 19: a sort of lessons that we need to take and 690 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 19: we need to learn and make sure that the community 691 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 19: is safe. 692 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,359 Speaker 2: All right, Marty, you came carry on and I thank 693 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,840 Speaker 2: you for your time today. That's Markey Drives now turning. 694 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 1: A mayor Andrew dickens, Well, we've. 695 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 2: Got some calls for changes to our short term accommodation 696 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 2: rules and a bit to free up housing stock. So 697 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 2: over the ditch in Sydney, they're reviewing restrictions on Airbnb, 698 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 2: including its one hundred and eighty day cat With around 699 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,919 Speaker 2: five thousand homes currently tied up, Queen sounds feeling the pinch. 700 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,399 Speaker 2: Around a third of the homes are empty on any 701 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 2: given night due to short term rentals like Airbnb. And 702 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 2: Ed McKnight is resident economist at op Ope's partner and 703 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 2: it's with us now, Ed, good morning to you. 704 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 15: Great to be here. 705 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 2: Andrew, is this any of our business. Surely people can 706 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:04,799 Speaker 2: do what they want with their house. 707 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 21: Well, that's currently the approach with the government, so I 708 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 21: wouldn't expect to see too much change at the moment. 709 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 21: But I can understand why Sydney's bringing this up at 710 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,359 Speaker 21: the moment. They're at a very different part of their 711 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 21: property cycle since the bottom of the markets that the 712 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 21: house prices are up ten percent. Up here in Auckland, 713 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 21: they're basically flat, haven't started increasing. In Willington, the property 714 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,600 Speaker 21: market hasn't bottomed out. House price is still going down. 715 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,840 Speaker 21: So because you see those pressures of higher higher house 716 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 21: prices over at Australia, you can see exactly why they're 717 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 21: talking about that at the moment. The one thing I'd 718 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,880 Speaker 21: just say to the Mayor of Queenstown, who's quite interested 719 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,279 Speaker 21: in bringing in some more restrictions, is you've just got 720 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:48,279 Speaker 21: to remember if you take away AIRB and B in Queenstown, 721 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 21: it doesn't necessarily mean many many more houses available for 722 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,440 Speaker 21: sale or available for renters because there are a bunch 723 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 21: of rich Australias and ach Auckland is their own holiday 724 00:37:58,680 --> 00:37:59,880 Speaker 21: homes in Queenstown. 725 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:00,920 Speaker 9: You know it just down there. 726 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 21: A couple of weeks ago stated a very very lovely 727 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,920 Speaker 21: short term accommodation didn't get it off. The Airbnb got 728 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,360 Speaker 21: it off at different website. But if that website didn't 729 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 21: exist anymore, and this couple who owned the property couldn't 730 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 21: rented out. It's their holiday home. So it's not like 731 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 21: they're going to be renting it out for some Queenstown local. 732 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 2: So as New Zealand on the same sort of scale 733 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 2: as say, I don't know Barce and Loona and are 734 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 2: we heading that way. 735 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,920 Speaker 21: I wouldn't say whether it's Barcelona, but it's very actually 736 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,760 Speaker 21: similar to Sydney. About ten thousand airbn bear's at Auckland 737 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 21: about three types that in Sydney, and they've got roughly 738 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:36,719 Speaker 21: three types of the population. 739 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:38,359 Speaker 15: But I see it as. 740 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 21: Quite a small problem here, at least in Auckland, because 741 00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,319 Speaker 21: Auckland's a bit of a gateway city to the rest 742 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,719 Speaker 21: of the country as opposed to a destination itself like Barcelona. 743 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,920 Speaker 21: About less than two percent of dwellings or properties in 744 00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 21: Auckland are on Airbnb at the moment, would make up 745 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 21: less than five percent of rental properties. 746 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 2: All right, Ed mc knight, I thank you for your time. 747 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,319 Speaker 2: Ed McKnight a resident economist at Oph's partner. And this 748 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,720 Speaker 2: is news talk z be. So the rules on tenants, 749 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,880 Speaker 2: while we keep with housing, the rules on tenants with 750 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 2: pets have changed, presumably to make it easier for people 751 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,760 Speaker 2: renting and to have a pet, but has that really 752 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 2: changed the situation. We'll talk to a property manager. Next, 753 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:16,920 Speaker 2: it's seven sixteen. 754 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:22,240 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Fall Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 755 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 1: by News TALKSB. 756 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 2: News TALKSB. Rob writes Andrew Council's staff. We're there at 757 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 2: seven forty five. How come that woman was warning people 758 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,319 Speaker 2: up to nine thirty? And what did the council do? 759 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 3: Rob? 760 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 2: Yes, this is what the review will answer eventually. But 761 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,359 Speaker 2: remember people are still in the ground. That woman who 762 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,839 Speaker 2: was warning people was Lisa mcclennan. Last hour, I mistakenly 763 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,880 Speaker 2: caught her. Linda McLennan, Tracy noticed. I apologize. It was 764 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 2: a slip at the tongue. Lisa McLennan was warning people 765 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 2: all the way up to nine thirty and got caught herself. 766 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 2: Lisa mcclennan is a great hero. It's seven nineteen, right. 767 00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,280 Speaker 2: We've got some trouble brewing around the new rental rules 768 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 2: allowing pet tenants. The changes come into force in December, 769 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:06,239 Speaker 2: requiring landlords to have reasonable grounds to refuse pets and 770 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 2: allowing pet bonds to cover potential damage, but many renters say, 771 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:15,960 Speaker 2: actually nothing's changed. Landlords simply reject applications evolving pets and 772 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 2: avoid scrutiny. So Mike Atkinson is a spy, a properties 773 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 2: managing director. He's with us this morning. Good morning to your. 774 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 15: Mike, good morning, thank you for having me. 775 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,279 Speaker 2: What is happening? Are landlord's rejecting people with pets even more? 776 00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 19: Now? 777 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,400 Speaker 15: I wouldn't say even more, but in terms of when 778 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,440 Speaker 15: a tenant is actually looking for a rental property, the 779 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 15: landlord can always choose the lower risk tenancy and they 780 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,920 Speaker 15: see that as someone that doesn't have a pet. So 781 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 15: there's nothing in the new law that prevents a landlord 782 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,439 Speaker 15: from just choosing an application that doesn't have a pet. 783 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 2: And is it fair enough that they are rejecting pet owners? 784 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:50,719 Speaker 11: Well? 785 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,880 Speaker 15: I think so they do carry it does carry extra 786 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,800 Speaker 15: risk and landlords are just looking to remove that. Something 787 00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 15: could be done in terms of maybe some better sarrance 788 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,040 Speaker 15: policy protection that landlords could have, because it's just about 789 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:08,080 Speaker 15: managing potential losses caused by pet damage. 790 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,279 Speaker 2: Indeed, we talked about the pet bond that's new. Does 791 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,600 Speaker 2: that give or should that give home owners confidence and 792 00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:16,200 Speaker 2: taking on a tenant with a pet. 793 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 15: It does give them a little bit of extra confidence, 794 00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 15: but you can have a situation where a pet can 795 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,680 Speaker 15: damage the entire carpet of a rental property and that's 796 00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:30,480 Speaker 15: going to greatly exceed two weeks rent, and so people 797 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,200 Speaker 15: are just trying to avoid that situation. 798 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 2: And are we hearing about tenants actually making an application 799 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 2: and then revealing the pet after they've moved in. 800 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,520 Speaker 15: That hasn't happened to us yet, but if I know 801 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:46,719 Speaker 15: eventually that will happen because the current law means that 802 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 15: once you've got the property, it's much easier to get 803 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,480 Speaker 15: a pet, but it is still difficult to get one 804 00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 15: with a tet. So it does make sense that eventually 805 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,759 Speaker 15: people will start sort of gaining the system, all. 806 00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,960 Speaker 2: Right, but your advice will big still list the animals 807 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,480 Speaker 2: on their application, and remember that the owners actually do 808 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:05,240 Speaker 2: have some rights. 809 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,520 Speaker 15: Absolutely, the owners have got rights. And it's a bad 810 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,360 Speaker 15: way to start off a tenancy if you sort of 811 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,719 Speaker 15: dishonest right at the start. Your landlord is going to 812 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,560 Speaker 15: be annoyed if they think that you gained the new 813 00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,799 Speaker 15: law to get your dog or cat in, and that's 814 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:22,520 Speaker 15: just not a great way to start a tendancy. 815 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 2: Mike, all the best, and I thank you for your 816 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,239 Speaker 2: time today. Mike Atkinson has just joined us from us 817 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,640 Speaker 2: by a property. He's the managing director. There it's seven 818 00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:33,440 Speaker 2: twenty two. 819 00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: The mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 820 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 1: by News TALKSB. 821 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,880 Speaker 2: News Talks B coming up seven twenty five. So the 822 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:49,080 Speaker 2: tragedy at the mount it's heartbreakingly sad. And as soon 823 00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,040 Speaker 2: as it happened, protests broke out by climate activists aimed 824 00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 2: at the Prime Minister. And the same day those protests 825 00:42:55,239 --> 00:43:01,520 Speaker 2: would then criticize as politicizing the tragedy. Surely that criticism 826 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,880 Speaker 2: in itself was also an oblique way of politicizing the tragedy. 827 00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 2: So was it any better? And then all weekend long 828 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 2: we had the blame game raging and the politicization continued. 829 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,480 Speaker 2: The man who reckoned he saw the slips starting on 830 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 2: his morning walk asked why no one did anything, from 831 00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:19,920 Speaker 2: the council to the park operators, the social media players 832 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:21,840 Speaker 2: who blamed the Maori who had been in charge of 833 00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,160 Speaker 2: the mountain since two thousand and seven. They spent the 834 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,680 Speaker 2: weekend blaming co governance, the retards to the planning experts 835 00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 2: said the problems have long been recognized and yet nobody 836 00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 2: does anything about them. The cutting down of the trees, 837 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 2: Bryce Edwards hopped into the argument argued, it's not too 838 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,840 Speaker 2: soon to blame, but in fact too late, because the 839 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,920 Speaker 2: warning signs were historical and they should have been recognized earlier. 840 00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:48,640 Speaker 2: The blame game is played to find somebody responsible for 841 00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 2: hurting us, But the people who carry the blame for 842 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,799 Speaker 2: this tragedy is pretty much everybody. I've already mentioned in 843 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,600 Speaker 2: the last minute. Everybody that in fact was blamed this 844 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,960 Speaker 2: weekend had a little bit of blame connected to them. Collectively, 845 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 2: all the missteps contributed to the death of six people. 846 00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,520 Speaker 2: And we have a collective responsibility as well as a 847 00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:13,400 Speaker 2: personal responsibility, and we need to find out what happened, 848 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,960 Speaker 2: and we need to fix it. And there will be 849 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,400 Speaker 2: a review. We've heard that from Martin Dreisdale this morning. 850 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,200 Speaker 2: But the fear is again the lessons won't be heated. 851 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,279 Speaker 2: We've had this before, whether it's Pike River or Cave 852 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,920 Speaker 2: Creek or the Wahine. After a time has passed, we 853 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,279 Speaker 2: have a review, we get some ideas, but by that 854 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,720 Speaker 2: stage the heat has gone out of the argument. Will 855 00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,840 Speaker 2: the lessons be heated? And one lesson I have for 856 00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:42,120 Speaker 2: you today is to trust your common sense the way 857 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,880 Speaker 2: Lisa mcclennan did. She could see what was happening in 858 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:48,560 Speaker 2: front of her own eyes. She took personal responsibility and 859 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,719 Speaker 2: she warned people, don't go into the loose. Don't go 860 00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:53,680 Speaker 2: in there right now, look at that hill. And then 861 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,440 Speaker 2: in doing that she lost her own life. If you 862 00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:02,920 Speaker 2: see something, if you can concerned, say something. If you're 863 00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 2: a park operator and you think something might happen, well 864 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:10,320 Speaker 2: it might happen, So do something. And maybe you should 865 00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,600 Speaker 2: not just blindly trust your fellow citizens who say, sweet 866 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,880 Speaker 2: snaphappen before, don't worry about it. These are the lessons 867 00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,399 Speaker 2: we need to learn from the blame game. And yes 868 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,840 Speaker 2: the blame game is early, and yes people are still 869 00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,160 Speaker 2: in the ground, but we need to learn the lessons because, 870 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:28,320 Speaker 2: as I've said before, it could happen again tomorrow. Now, 871 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 2: do shops close too early in New Zealand? Are they 872 00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,000 Speaker 2: open at the right time for us to shop? We'll 873 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,719 Speaker 2: talk about this in five and we'll talk about Sam Ruth, 874 00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,319 Speaker 2: the amazing running genius. 875 00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,480 Speaker 1: Tough on Power, shot up on Insight, Andrew Dickens on 876 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:45,799 Speaker 1: the mic asking Breakfast with the Defender, Embrace the Impossible News, 877 00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:47,799 Speaker 1: Toms Dead b Yeah. 878 00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:52,279 Speaker 2: So Sir Wayne Smith is leading New Zealand rugby. And 879 00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,440 Speaker 2: it's got nothing to do with if I believe with 880 00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,560 Speaker 2: the fact that Scott Robertson has lost his job, but 881 00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:58,759 Speaker 2: he had seen a rugby roll. He's going to a 882 00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,400 Speaker 2: new position overseas. We're not sure quite what, but this 883 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 2: is bad news for rugby. We're going to talk about 884 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,479 Speaker 2: the losing of the professor with Andrew Saville and Jason Pang. Yes, 885 00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,320 Speaker 2: the commentary box is back after eight o'clock this morning 886 00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:18,760 Speaker 2: here on News Talks. Hebo We're shop here, We're shopping, 887 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,360 Speaker 2: and the age old debate is back front and center. 888 00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,719 Speaker 2: Questions are being raised about whether our shopping hours and 889 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:27,640 Speaker 2: retail system are fit for today's reality. Retail industry experts 890 00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,400 Speaker 2: argue store ours are stuck in the past, built for 891 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,640 Speaker 2: a nine to five world that no longer exists, with 892 00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,720 Speaker 2: calls for retailers to adapt to change in consumer habits 893 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:40,840 Speaker 2: and of course, tourism driven demand. So one Nita Neveltito 894 00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,279 Speaker 2: is a retailer marketing expert at the RX Group and 895 00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,279 Speaker 2: is with us this morning. One to You, one NCTA, 896 00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:49,360 Speaker 2: Good morning, Andrew is ninety five. 897 00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:55,720 Speaker 10: Dead look new Zellain's early shopping times that we're experiencing 898 00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:59,040 Speaker 10: our retail system that we're designed really for the nineteen nineties. 899 00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:03,319 Speaker 10: If we think about how customers live now, they finish later, 900 00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:07,840 Speaker 10: they live digitally, and they expect functionality, you know, and flexibility. 901 00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,839 Speaker 10: So it isn't that every shop should stay open later. 902 00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,160 Speaker 10: It's just that many shops on open up at the 903 00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:14,360 Speaker 10: wrong times currently. 904 00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,440 Speaker 2: So what are the right times? I mean, should we 905 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,279 Speaker 2: just flag away opening at nine because everybody is too 906 00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,000 Speaker 2: busy working? Should we actually say to everybody really should 907 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:23,719 Speaker 2: open at ten and you should stay up until six 908 00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:24,240 Speaker 2: or seven? 909 00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:28,399 Speaker 10: Okay? I think what we've seen when it works well 910 00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,120 Speaker 10: is that store alone hours that align with how people 911 00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:34,560 Speaker 10: actually live works really really well, and when it doesn't, 912 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:38,320 Speaker 10: it creates this enormous frustration for customers and unnecessary costs 913 00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:42,480 Speaker 10: for retailers. So I think there needs to be this 914 00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:46,000 Speaker 10: opportunity for people to really focus on the demand, stay 915 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:49,319 Speaker 10: open when the foot traffic is there, and don't just 916 00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,120 Speaker 10: drive costs into your business. 917 00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 2: Now that complained about trading hours has always been in 918 00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:58,759 Speaker 2: tourist hotspots, and you know, we've had continual debates about this, 919 00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,600 Speaker 2: concerns about workers, but also concerns about people just not 920 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,760 Speaker 2: being able to buy stuff. This is a common complaint, 921 00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,840 Speaker 2: isn't it. Should our tourism hotspots be looking at opening longer. 922 00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:09,920 Speaker 5: Oh? 923 00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,440 Speaker 10: Look, I think absolutely they need to be looking at 924 00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:13,960 Speaker 10: what their trading hours are. 925 00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,440 Speaker 9: If you know there's a giant boat. 926 00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:20,080 Speaker 10: Coming into town, you need to be open there because 927 00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:23,040 Speaker 10: it's an opportunity. That's for traffic, and also there's an 928 00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:26,319 Speaker 10: opportunity for retailers in those areas to collaborate to make 929 00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,759 Speaker 10: sure that that like training works because you can't have 930 00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,040 Speaker 10: one store open and the others aren't. It's about a 931 00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:36,120 Speaker 10: cohesive approach for our tourists so that they come and 932 00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 10: have the best experience possible and they'll spend money if 933 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:40,000 Speaker 10: the stores are open. 934 00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:43,080 Speaker 2: Do we need to make rules and regulations or is 935 00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,520 Speaker 2: it more about you know, business people associations getting together 936 00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:49,879 Speaker 2: and doing what's right for their customers and also for 937 00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:50,560 Speaker 2: their workers. 938 00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,800 Speaker 10: Oh, you're one hundred percent right there. It's not rules. 939 00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:57,919 Speaker 10: It's about associations and collaborations. It's not about some sort 940 00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:03,960 Speaker 10: of revolution. It's recollaboration. It's about retailers getting together and 941 00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:08,000 Speaker 10: understanding their customers and not simply staying open longer because 942 00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,080 Speaker 10: it's a habit, you actually meet the demand and you 943 00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,680 Speaker 10: also create the demand. And we've seen that work in 944 00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:16,319 Speaker 10: many centers. And if we think about it, you know 945 00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:20,000 Speaker 10: places like min to ten open super early for tradees, 946 00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,279 Speaker 10: so de bunning. So some retailers have really got it 947 00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,080 Speaker 10: and they've expanded where it makes sense. 948 00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,040 Speaker 2: There are some businesses that have never opened on weekends. 949 00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,640 Speaker 2: Many pharmacies have never opened on weekends. What would you 950 00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:33,600 Speaker 2: say to them? Would that practice actually would that practice 951 00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,680 Speaker 2: be actually hurting them and their bottom line and their margins? 952 00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,360 Speaker 10: Look yet to know, you've got opening about the community 953 00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:44,640 Speaker 10: that you're in, and for some communities you've opening on 954 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,360 Speaker 10: the weekend simply just doesn't make sense. And many of 955 00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:51,319 Speaker 10: these businesses are owner operators, so that would stretch them 956 00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,200 Speaker 10: to the limit. But if you have a look at it, 957 00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:55,480 Speaker 10: you know the growth of someone like a chemist warehouse 958 00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,760 Speaker 10: has come in and just acquired market share because they're 959 00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,440 Speaker 10: open at really early time nine pm at night, and 960 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,040 Speaker 10: that's got to have an impact. So yeah, I think 961 00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:04,839 Speaker 10: it has hurt them. 962 00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:06,279 Speaker 2: I need to write thank you for your time. I 963 00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,240 Speaker 2: need a Neville Victo who is a retail and marketing expert, 964 00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:11,359 Speaker 2: and I've got a text through already from Sarah who said, 965 00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:13,920 Speaker 2: we have family over from Canada for the Christmas holidays 966 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:16,880 Speaker 2: and they could not believe that nothing was open in 967 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:20,480 Speaker 2: New Zealand. It just included restaurants and shops and they 968 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:22,360 Speaker 2: thought it was very strange how we had such a 969 00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:26,480 Speaker 2: limiting limited shopping options. And this woman I need to 970 00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,960 Speaker 2: is absolutely correct. We need to get with the times. 971 00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:32,080 Speaker 2: And the comments I got from my family, says Sarah. 972 00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,319 Speaker 2: The ones that came from Canada said, this is like 973 00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,520 Speaker 2: twenty years ago. Do we want to be like twenty 974 00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:41,880 Speaker 2: years ago? Twenty years ago? It's quite cool though, really 975 00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:45,920 Speaker 2: it's quite comfy.

Though another person has 1001 00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,600 Speaker 2: texted as head minimum wage in the States is twelve 1002 00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:57,440 Speaker 2: twenty five New Zealand equivalent. That's why they're open all hours. 1003 00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,640 Speaker 2: Our employers couldn't afford it to be open longer. What 1004 00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:03,120 Speaker 2: do you think ninety two ninety two is the text number. 1005 00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:07,200 Speaker 2: So on Friday, I went to Hamilton, I did the 1006 00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,680 Speaker 2: early edition show, then I finished that, got got up 1007 00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:11,319 Speaker 2: at three in the morning, then I finished that drove 1008 00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,360 Speaker 2: to the why Kado and I went there for a reason. 1009 00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:17,680 Speaker 2: It was the first public performance at the brand new 1010 00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:23,080 Speaker 2: b n zed why Caato Regional Theater. So this is 1011 00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:25,520 Speaker 2: a theater that was built because Founders Theater, the big 1012 00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,759 Speaker 2: theater in Hamilton, had to close in twenty sixteen because 1013 00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,600 Speaker 2: it was an earthquake proof and so they had to 1014 00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:33,560 Speaker 2: close it. And they thought, we've got no theater. We've 1015 00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:36,160 Speaker 2: got global Box arena, that's all well and good, and 1016 00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,319 Speaker 2: we got outdoor stuff. We've got the stadiums, we've got 1017 00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:40,719 Speaker 2: great cricket ground. We have no theater. We have to 1018 00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,000 Speaker 2: have a theater. So the good people of the White 1019 00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,960 Speaker 2: Catto which had Riverley Theater. But that's just a little theater. Yeah, 1020 00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:47,879 Speaker 2: that's two hundred and fifty people. I mean, why we're 1021 00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,840 Speaker 2: talking about here is a fourteen hundred seater venue. Okay, 1022 00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,000 Speaker 2: So the good people of why Katto got together a 1023 00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:56,320 Speaker 2: commit de and the commit there started thinking about raising 1024 00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:59,000 Speaker 2: some money and a bit accounts of money and government 1025 00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,400 Speaker 2: money came in, but not not nearly enough because no 1026 00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,160 Speaker 2: one's got any money. And they started raising private money. 1027 00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:08,719 Speaker 2: And this committee faced so many uphill up, you know, 1028 00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:12,160 Speaker 2: down winds and up winds and wins from the left, 1029 00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:13,959 Speaker 2: winds from the right. Everyone was going, Oh. 1030 00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:16,200 Speaker 22: Why don't you just spend the money fixing up the 1031 00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:19,799 Speaker 22: Founder's Theater. I liked the Founder's theater. I saw I 1032 00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:23,479 Speaker 22: saw mister Morrison at the Founder's Theater with the whole 1033 00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:24,280 Speaker 22: Mildi quartet. 1034 00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:26,719 Speaker 2: Just fix up the Founder's Theater. But the theater was 1035 00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:30,440 Speaker 2: already rubble. Anyway, they went through all of this, people 1036 00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,560 Speaker 2: saying it's in the wrong place. It's in the middle 1037 00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:34,920 Speaker 2: of town. There's no parking in the middle of town. Yes, 1038 00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:38,680 Speaker 2: there was. What are you doing? This is just a waste. 1039 00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:40,920 Speaker 2: This is a nice to have, not a need to have. Anyway, 1040 00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,800 Speaker 2: they raised eighty million bucks and they built this theater. 1041 00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:45,840 Speaker 2: And the reason they built it was a lot of 1042 00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,080 Speaker 2: because of private donation and also a whole other guys 1043 00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:50,360 Speaker 2: who actually built the theater took a hell of a 1044 00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:52,200 Speaker 2: loss on it, and they knew they were going to 1045 00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:54,080 Speaker 2: take a loss on it because of COVID and everything, 1046 00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:56,920 Speaker 2: but they didn't mind because that was their contribution to 1047 00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:00,840 Speaker 2: the city. It was their legacy. And now it's finished. God, 1048 00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,840 Speaker 2: it is very probably the best theater in New Zealand. 1049 00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:08,160 Speaker 2: It is a work of art. It's behind the old 1050 00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:10,960 Speaker 2: Hamilton hotel that the queens stayed and they've kept the staircase. 1051 00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,600 Speaker 2: It's right in the middle of the town, right beside 1052 00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:17,480 Speaker 2: the museum, right beside the entertainment precinct. It's all glitzy. 1053 00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:20,480 Speaker 2: It's got beautiful bars, it's got a beautiful restaurant and 1054 00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,520 Speaker 2: the space of it itself. You walk in, it's like 1055 00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:25,440 Speaker 2: an old fashioned theater, so you've got your stalls and 1056 00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,719 Speaker 2: then it just goes up and you walk in and 1057 00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:31,480 Speaker 2: the first thing you realize is it's dead. And by dead, 1058 00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:34,400 Speaker 2: I mean sound dead. It's like walking into a recording studio. 1059 00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:37,799 Speaker 2: It's incredible. And so we turned up for the very 1060 00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:40,840 Speaker 2: first public performance. It was by Tiaks, who is the 1061 00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:45,759 Speaker 2: New Zealand singer. Beautiful voice, extraordinary body. It only took 1062 00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:47,960 Speaker 2: two songs from before the good people of the Whitecadow 1063 00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:52,960 Speaker 2: started going take your shirt off. It sounded great, the 1064 00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:56,040 Speaker 2: venue was great, and I just want to congratulate everybody 1065 00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:59,320 Speaker 2: who fought against all the naysayers and all the people 1066 00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:01,239 Speaker 2: who say no. And how many of these have we had? 1067 00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:02,960 Speaker 2: How long did it take to build the Kiddy to 1068 00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,800 Speaker 2: kind of a theater. I mean we had Tim Schabbolt 1069 00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:09,600 Speaker 2: talking about a stadium, indoor stadium in Auckland for years 1070 00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:12,920 Speaker 2: before for Victor Arena, now Spark Arena ever took place. 1071 00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:16,239 Speaker 2: Everyone has a reason why we should say no, but 1072 00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:18,759 Speaker 2: never a reason why we should say yes. And people 1073 00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,239 Speaker 2: would say, but it's a theater. This theater is going 1074 00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:23,160 Speaker 2: to buzz, It's going to bring a lot of famous 1075 00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:25,960 Speaker 2: people there. It's going to be the heart of the city. 1076 00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:31,000 Speaker 2: And I just think it's marvelous. And then driving home, 1077 00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:34,600 Speaker 2: I got down to one percent on my electric vehicle 1078 00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:38,799 Speaker 2: and only just managed to limp into the Bombay recharge thing, 1079 00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:40,920 Speaker 2: and boy I got it in the neck. About that 1080 00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:43,200 Speaker 2: my first ever bit of range anxiety. But do I 1081 00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:44,239 Speaker 2: regret an electric car? 1082 00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:44,719 Speaker 3: No? 1083 00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:47,279 Speaker 2: I do not. Does why Kadow regret their new theater? 1084 00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:52,839 Speaker 2: No they do not. Ten to eight.

He's obviously the fastest team on the planet, 1116 00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,840 Speaker 2: but what about amongst men and with the Olympics coming 1117 00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:28,800 Speaker 2: up and all that carry on. 1118 00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:33,320 Speaker 20: Yeah, and that's sort of his wife something too.

Nobody 1128 00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:55,960 Speaker 20: who's run that fast in New Zealand since Walker I 1129 00:57:55,960 --> 00:58:00,120 Speaker 20: think once in the early nineteen eighties.

I know we're not talking to 1139 00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:22,600 Speaker 2: him because he's on his way to America. He's a 1140 00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:25,480 Speaker 2: sixteen year old who's already running internationally. Is he getting 1141 00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:28,800 Speaker 2: pushed or or is he being promoted too soon? Can 1142 00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:30,640 Speaker 2: we just chill out a bit and he'll be even 1143 00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:32,240 Speaker 2: better if we take it slow or not? 1144 00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,800 Speaker 20: I mean, as his dad, that's probably one of my 1145 00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,440 Speaker 20: magic concerns, right, So my wife and I decided that 1146 00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:41,760 Speaker 20: we wouldn't let him do any training until he started 1147 00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,640 Speaker 20: at tod Rom a boy's college when he was almost 1148 00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:46,720 Speaker 20: fourteen years old. So he's only been training for three 1149 00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:50,960 Speaker 20: years and then I've imposed that question. But all he's 1150 00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,200 Speaker 20: really doing is he just wants to turn up. 1151 00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:53,600 Speaker 3: And have a race. 1152 00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:56,840 Speaker 20: The challenge with that, he's just got to race fast people. 1153 00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:59,280 Speaker 20: So to hold him back to you race him against 1154 00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:01,960 Speaker 20: people who are slow, or do you or do you 1155 00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:03,920 Speaker 20: get him to enjoy it? Which is the battle and 1156 00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:06,720 Speaker 20: the challenge, And I think I think so, Han'm but 1157 00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:08,640 Speaker 20: keep been joying the sport. He just he needs the 1158 00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:12,120 Speaker 20: challenge and he loves it and wants it. So yeah, 1159 00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:14,480 Speaker 20: we just want to keep give him the opportunity to do. 1160 00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:16,200 Speaker 2: What he loves Are you the first one or was 1161 00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:16,920 Speaker 2: it the mun. 1162 00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:20,520 Speaker 20: He described me the other day as an average runner, 1163 00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:23,600 Speaker 20: and I think by his standard on well below average. 1164 00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:27,000 Speaker 20: I actually ran the That was the fastest mile running 1165 00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,439 Speaker 20: New Zealand for twenty years actually and twenty years ago. 1166 00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:31,480 Speaker 20: The reason why it was a super fast mile twenty 1167 00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:32,960 Speaker 20: years ago is because it's a come off games for 1168 00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:35,960 Speaker 20: three weeks later in Melbourne and Nick Wallis Randy fifty 1169 00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:38,640 Speaker 20: two and I was fortunate enough to be in that race, 1170 00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:41,120 Speaker 20: but I ran mo farwre the full time. Little bit 1171 00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:42,960 Speaker 20: Gold Midliss was in that race too, he came third. 1172 00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:45,880 Speaker 20: But I ran four flat point one in that race 1173 00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:46,840 Speaker 20: and never broke four. 1174 00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:48,800 Speaker 2: Minutes, and I'm desperately running out of time. I want 1175 00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:52,280 Speaker 2: to ask one question is is he been the fastest? 1176 00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:55,520 Speaker 2: Because Daisy was fifth in the open Women's Smile at 1177 00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,640 Speaker 2: the age of fourteen, who's the fastest?

He's just amazing, 1201 01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:14,880 Speaker 2: isn't he. Jason. 1202 01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:20,120 Speaker 25: He is certainly something special, that's for sure, and just 1203 01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:24,160 Speaker 25: continues to amaze us with the world records. 1204 01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:25,080 Speaker 3: That he sets. 1205 01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:28,440 Speaker 25: I think he's very lucky to have Sam Tanner around 1206 01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:31,160 Speaker 25: at the same time as a as a training partner, 1207 01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:34,760 Speaker 25: as a I guess in some ways a mentor. You know, 1208 01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:38,720 Speaker 25: Sam Ruth probably doesn't break that sixteen year old world 1209 01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:41,720 Speaker 25: record on Saturday Night of Sam Tanner isn't in the 1210 01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:45,520 Speaker 25: same race. So look, but I mean, you only you 1211 01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:47,960 Speaker 25: can only imagine what the future might hold. I'm not 1212 01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:51,400 Speaker 25: sure when middle distance runners are supposed to mature and 1213 01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:54,040 Speaker 25: reach their peak, but I'm almost certain it's not sixteen. 1214 01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:57,800 Speaker 25: So yeah, an incredibly bright future for this young man. 1215 01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:00,480 Speaker 3: So isn't it usually in their thirties. 1216 01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:05,120 Speaker 2: Or late late twenties late twenties. Yeah, you've got to 1217 01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:07,120 Speaker 2: be able to grow the main like John Walker and 1218 01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:09,280 Speaker 2: you know, and and do the whole business and have 1219 01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:12,480 Speaker 2: the huge oxygen and take sav But here's the thing. 1220 01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:15,680 Speaker 2: Is he getting pushed a little too fast too soon? 1221 01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:18,600 Speaker 2: He's off to he's flying to New York right now, 1222 01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:22,040 Speaker 2: he's competing internationally. I mean, he's taking up every challenge 1223 01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:24,760 Speaker 2: that's put in front of him, and his exceeding expectations 1224 01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:27,120 Speaker 2: every single time. But is it all happening too quick? 1225 01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:31,880 Speaker 24: I don't think so. You don't want to waste a 1226 01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:34,160 Speaker 24: kid's talent. And I'd imagine listening to his father, and 1227 01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:36,600 Speaker 24: having having listened to his parents quite often the last 1228 01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:40,640 Speaker 24: year or two, the former runners themselves, I think they'll, 1229 01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:44,000 Speaker 24: they'll they're not what they're doing. And I'm sure as 1230 01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:48,040 Speaker 24: he gets older and a bigger name on a global stage, 1231 01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:50,720 Speaker 24: if he hasn't already, he'll have a he'll have a 1232 01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:53,439 Speaker 24: fairly decent management team around him. The exciting thing, Andrew, 1233 01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:56,160 Speaker 24: a couple of things here is that we get to 1234 01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:59,080 Speaker 24: have a ringside seat in watching this kid over the 1235 01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:01,240 Speaker 24: next ten to fifteen years, and assuming he doesn't have 1236 01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:04,760 Speaker 24: any major injuries, we have a chance here to see 1237 01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:08,959 Speaker 24: what could be a young man who's about to become 1238 01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,760 Speaker 24: one of our greatest years of athletes. And we get 1239 01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:14,520 Speaker 24: a chance to watch them as he matures and to 1240 01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:18,520 Speaker 24: his late teens in the twenties, which is fantastic. 1241 01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:19,800 Speaker 3: The other thing is no pressure. 1242 01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:23,120 Speaker 24: Unless you go to a track and stand trackside and 1243 01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:25,600 Speaker 24: watch these guys and girls running around in the fifteen 1244 01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:29,600 Speaker 24: hundred mile or eight hundred let alone sprints, you don't. 1245 01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:35,120 Speaker 24: Sometimes the television doesn't really reflect on how fast they 1246 01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:38,840 Speaker 24: are actually running, even the milers they sprint the whole way. 1247 01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:40,240 Speaker 24: Basically it's staggering. 1248 01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:42,880 Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing, though, as Sam's dad just came 1249 01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:45,280 Speaker 2: on and you said, the comm game's mild quality time 1250 01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:49,080 Speaker 2: is three point fifty one, which is enormously fast, and 1251 01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:51,640 Speaker 2: the question is could anyone actually make that? And that 1252 01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:55,040 Speaker 2: also brings into a question this young New Zealand sprinter 1253 01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:56,960 Speaker 2: who said to get to the Common Games, I have 1254 01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:00,320 Speaker 2: to run a ten second one hundred meters. All these 1255 01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:02,360 Speaker 2: are the qualities too high? 1256 01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:06,160 Speaker 25: Well, and there's always you can always have exceptions because 1257 01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:08,760 Speaker 25: I'm pretty sure that some of the minor nations, you know, 1258 01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:13,440 Speaker 25: send athletes for the experience having not reached those qualifying marks. 1259 01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:15,520 Speaker 25: I mean, they're there for a reason to ensure that, 1260 01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:17,960 Speaker 25: you know, you do have high quality fields once you 1261 01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:19,920 Speaker 25: reach the sharp end. 1262 01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:20,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right. 1263 01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:24,160 Speaker 25: I mean the Sam Tanner's been to two Olympic Games, 1264 01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:27,400 Speaker 25: so you know that's the that's the rarefied. Yeah, he's 1265 01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:31,720 Speaker 25: operating in respective or compared to others. Sam Ruth's not 1266 01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:33,600 Speaker 25: far away. It will be great to see them both 1267 01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:35,520 Speaker 25: go to the Calm Games this year, wouldn't it in 1268 01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:39,080 Speaker 25: the eight or fifteen hundred meters? But yeah, there's there's 1269 01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:41,800 Speaker 25: a lot of there's a lot of improvement to come 1270 01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:44,000 Speaker 25: in Sam Ruth and Sav's right, we're going to get 1271 01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,400 Speaker 25: the chance to watch it, you know, very very close. 1272 01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:50,640 Speaker 2: Up is he even the fastest Ruth? Because I didn't 1273 01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:53,640 Speaker 2: quite get the time to ask this of the dad. 1274 01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:57,240 Speaker 2: Daisy Ruth came fifth at the same meat in the 1275 01:04:57,320 --> 01:05:01,400 Speaker 2: open women's miles. He's just fourteen. He's fourteen. I mean 1276 01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:03,640 Speaker 2: they're all freaks. I mean, we need to clone this family. 1277 01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:06,640 Speaker 3: Have some great jeens. 1278 01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:13,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, amazing, Okay, poney. We got thrashed by India 1279 01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:15,439 Speaker 2: in cricket and I thought we were doing so well 1280 01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:17,760 Speaker 2: in the end of the fifty over game where were great. 1281 01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:20,000 Speaker 2: We come down to the twenty over, the T twenty 1282 01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:21,920 Speaker 2: and that's what the World Cup is in and we 1283 01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:23,280 Speaker 2: get thrash. What's going on? 1284 01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:24,240 Speaker 5: Yeah? 1285 01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:27,120 Speaker 3: Real reality check? Isn't it for this side? Not just once? 1286 01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:30,600 Speaker 25: But that's three now comfortable wins and this morning the 1287 01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:35,600 Speaker 25: most comfortable you know, the this upcoming World Cup. I 1288 01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:38,160 Speaker 25: think there was quite a lot of optimism, probably off 1289 01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:39,880 Speaker 25: the back of that one day series actually that New 1290 01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:42,520 Speaker 25: Zealand might go go quite well, and they might still, 1291 01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:45,600 Speaker 25: but look what did the guy get this morning? A 1292 01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:49,360 Speaker 25: fourteen ball fifty You know we're talking, you know now 1293 01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:52,680 Speaker 25: the T twenty game is now if you're not over 1294 01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:55,040 Speaker 25: two hundred even two ten two twenty. You're not even 1295 01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:57,840 Speaker 25: in the game anymore on these Indian wickets, you know. 1296 01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:02,440 Speaker 25: And look, there's there's obviously still time for New Zealand 1297 01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:05,480 Speaker 25: to get there, get their act together and compete well 1298 01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:07,919 Speaker 25: at this T twenty World Cup. But India in home 1299 01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:09,920 Speaker 25: conditions are going to be very tough to beat in 1300 01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:10,440 Speaker 25: this World Cup. 1301 01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:13,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, and save I see that Bangladesh have been replaced 1302 01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:15,880 Speaker 2: by Scotland because Bangor just refused to go to India 1303 01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:17,360 Speaker 2: because of trouble. 1304 01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:23,200 Speaker 3: Plucky Scott say, they'll do well. I didn't realized they 1305 01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:24,000 Speaker 3: had a cricket team. 1306 01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:26,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is for the T twenty World Cup. 1307 01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:29,040 Speaker 2: Obviously scott Scotland's going to play instead of Bangladesh. But 1308 01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:30,760 Speaker 2: there we go. Well, of course they've got it. 1309 01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:31,040 Speaker 3: I mean. 1310 01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:33,280 Speaker 24: The thing about the thing about this Indian series, look, 1311 01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:37,000 Speaker 24: T twenty games can be sometimes a lottery, so you 1312 01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:39,360 Speaker 24: wouldn't write the black Caps chances off of the World Cup. 1313 01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:42,320 Speaker 24: But after three heavy losses, the last couple of floggings, 1314 01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:44,280 Speaker 24: you'd have to wonder what sort of damage this is 1315 01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:46,600 Speaker 24: doing to them, especially the younger guys and the team. 1316 01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:49,080 Speaker 24: A couple of the younger bowlers have been flogged. 1317 01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:51,200 Speaker 3: Games. 1318 01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:52,320 Speaker 23: Yeah. 1319 01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:54,720 Speaker 24: On the on the flip side, you have loved watching 1320 01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:56,600 Speaker 24: some of these Indian batsmen who we don't know too 1321 01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:59,360 Speaker 24: much about, some of these younger Indian batsmen and the 1322 01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:02,880 Speaker 24: tea twitty beautiful timers of the ball. There's nothing to them, 1323 01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:06,240 Speaker 24: but they hit these massive shots and it is certainly 1324 01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:07,080 Speaker 24: entertaining to watch. 1325 01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:09,800 Speaker 2: In the commentary box, we've got Andrew seven and Jason Pimer, 1326 01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:13,160 Speaker 2: got heaps of rugby to talk about, including Sir Wayne Smith. 1327 01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:17,120 Speaker 2: This the professor is leaving New Zealand, so what's that about? 1328 01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:19,600 Speaker 2: And I want to talk about the Winter Olympics as well. 1329 01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:21,480 Speaker 2: It is eight fourteen on news Talks at B. 1330 01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:26,920 Speaker 1: The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1331 01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:28,000 Speaker 1: by News Talks. 1332 01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:31,560 Speaker 2: It balks B. It's the Commentary Box with Andrew Sevill. 1333 01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:36,120 Speaker 1: The Monday Commentary Box, which is Finances, Smart and Equipment 1334 01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:37,600 Speaker 1: Finance for Kiwi businesses. 1335 01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:40,640 Speaker 2: All right, gentlemen, Sir Wayne Smith, age of sixty eight, 1336 01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:42,760 Speaker 2: leaving his senior in New Zealand rugby role for a 1337 01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:47,040 Speaker 2: new position overseas, a senior coaching leadership job. We don't 1338 01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:49,400 Speaker 2: know what it's had, a professional club whatever. It's all 1339 01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:52,880 Speaker 2: cloaked in confidential als, he said he's done as much 1340 01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:57,040 Speaker 2: as he can do under the strictures of the enzied job. 1341 01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:00,800 Speaker 2: So sav is this more great New Zealand and Rugby talant. 1342 01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:03,640 Speaker 2: We are losing we anti Ara's losing. 1343 01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:05,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. 1344 01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:08,160 Speaker 24: It's a shame. I think his deal had come to 1345 01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:14,240 Speaker 24: a conclusion anyway. However, you'd certainly look at or at 1346 01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:16,120 Speaker 24: least asking him if he wanted to be in the 1347 01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:20,800 Speaker 24: mix with the new head coach about to be appointed, 1348 01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:23,960 Speaker 24: if not in a high performance role or carrying on 1349 01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:25,000 Speaker 24: some sort of role. 1350 01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:27,759 Speaker 3: He's just too good to lose. So that's a great shame. 1351 01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:29,479 Speaker 24: Look, I think over the last couple of years he 1352 01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:33,559 Speaker 24: was initially signed on to help when needed the All 1353 01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:35,800 Speaker 24: Blacks and the Black Ferns, and I think over the 1354 01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:40,320 Speaker 24: last two years he's been totally underutilized and I think 1355 01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:44,559 Speaker 24: that hasn't gone down with some people, including probably Sirwayne himself. 1356 01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:46,599 Speaker 24: And he's had enough. 1357 01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:49,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, Parney. I mean he's sixty eight and 1358 01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:52,040 Speaker 2: he's still got hunger. Yeah. 1359 01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:54,360 Speaker 25: And I feel as though if you can have Wayne 1360 01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:57,960 Speaker 25: Smith in your camp, you have him in your camp. 1361 01:08:58,320 --> 01:09:01,519 Speaker 25: There aren't too many better Rugby brains. As we know, 1362 01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:04,679 Speaker 25: there's a reason they call him the Professor. He seems 1363 01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:08,679 Speaker 25: to add value even you know, regardless of the environment 1364 01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:11,599 Speaker 25: he goes into, he adds value to that environment. 1365 01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:12,920 Speaker 3: And for him not to. 1366 01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:15,599 Speaker 25: Feel as though there was a place for him here, 1367 01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:18,160 Speaker 25: I always felt like the job was a bit vague, 1368 01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:20,479 Speaker 25: and maybe it was kept that way on purpose so 1369 01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:23,320 Speaker 25: that he could be brought in as and when required. 1370 01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:26,639 Speaker 25: Maybe he wanted more structure. I'm not sure, but yeah, 1371 01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:29,439 Speaker 25: look to not have Wayne Smith rounds I think. 1372 01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:32,559 Speaker 24: As I think in Jason, I think in twenty twenty 1373 01:09:32,560 --> 01:09:36,040 Speaker 24: four he was hardly used, yeah, by both teams, and 1374 01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:36,960 Speaker 24: then twenty five. 1375 01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:38,240 Speaker 3: We saw him pop up at the All Blacks a 1376 01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:38,960 Speaker 3: couple of times. 1377 01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:41,479 Speaker 24: One week he was with the All Blacks they went 1378 01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:43,320 Speaker 24: on to beat the spring Box at Eden Park and 1379 01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:44,160 Speaker 24: that big, big game. 1380 01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:48,599 Speaker 3: So yeah, just totally underutilized. I think, yeah, absolutely. 1381 01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:51,680 Speaker 2: Is the vagueness not actually from Wayne but from New 1382 01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:53,040 Speaker 2: Zealand Rugby. They're vague. 1383 01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:56,760 Speaker 25: Well yeah, well, yeah, it's certainly not Wayne Smith that 1384 01:09:56,840 --> 01:09:59,200 Speaker 25: he would have said, you know, yes, I'd love this job, 1385 01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:01,799 Speaker 25: and it was probably sold to him along the lines 1386 01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:05,240 Speaker 25: of being there as and when required, which probably quite 1387 01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:07,840 Speaker 25: appealed to him, you know. But yeah, as and when 1388 01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:10,519 Speaker 25: required is not one week here in a couple of 1389 01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:12,680 Speaker 25: days there, you say, look, we're going to use here 1390 01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:15,320 Speaker 25: for fifteen weeks this year, and here they are kind 1391 01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:16,920 Speaker 25: of thing. That's the kind of structure I feel as 1392 01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:20,639 Speaker 25: though he would have relished and wasn't given to them. 1393 01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:22,360 Speaker 24: You give them what the all Blacks have been through 1394 01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:24,639 Speaker 24: the last couple of years, Andrew, I think, and David 1395 01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:25,320 Speaker 24: Kirk will know this. 1396 01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:26,759 Speaker 3: He's a smart cookie. The new chairman. 1397 01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:29,040 Speaker 24: They need to bring a lot of these guys back 1398 01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:30,960 Speaker 24: into the fold, the guys that have been there, done that, 1399 01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:33,479 Speaker 24: the guys that have huge connection with the all black 1400 01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:36,320 Speaker 24: jersey and the all black culture of yesteryear. I think 1401 01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:40,920 Speaker 24: they need to not necessarily constantly whind the clock back 1402 01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:43,160 Speaker 24: because the game has changed, yes, but they need to 1403 01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:46,200 Speaker 24: use this. They need to use the experience that just 1404 01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:48,200 Speaker 24: seems to be constantly going out the door. 1405 01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:52,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. But meanwhile, talking about the commercial imperatives versus you know, 1406 01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:56,599 Speaker 2: wanting to give the spectators the people that asked what 1407 01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:58,280 Speaker 2: we want, the all backs in the spring box are 1408 01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:00,360 Speaker 2: going to play the fourth test of this year's greatest 1409 01:11:00,439 --> 01:11:03,719 Speaker 2: rivalry series in Baltimore, in the United States of America, 1410 01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:06,680 Speaker 2: seventy thousand seat M and T. Banks Stadium. It's going 1411 01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:10,280 Speaker 2: to happen on the thirteenth of September. Pliny. Many people 1412 01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:13,080 Speaker 2: grumble about this, that this is not good for rugby. 1413 01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:15,080 Speaker 2: It might be good for the coffers, but it's actually 1414 01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:15,960 Speaker 2: not good for rugby. 1415 01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:19,679 Speaker 25: Well, I think in a widest sense that there's probably 1416 01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:22,720 Speaker 25: a bit of agitating from World Rugby here. We know 1417 01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:25,759 Speaker 25: that the Rugby World Cup is in the United States 1418 01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:28,200 Speaker 25: and twenty thirty one, so any opportunity they have to 1419 01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:30,840 Speaker 25: World Rugby that is to promote the sport over there. 1420 01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:33,080 Speaker 25: And you know, let's be honest, there's no bit of 1421 01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:37,240 Speaker 25: promotion of test rugby than South Africa against the All Blacks. 1422 01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:39,600 Speaker 25: It seems so odd, doesn't it that you know that 1423 01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:43,680 Speaker 25: one week, you know, this greatest rival is going to 1424 01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:46,680 Speaker 25: be in Johannesburg, and then all of a sudden it's 1425 01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:47,520 Speaker 25: in Baltimore. 1426 01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:48,680 Speaker 3: But yeah, that's just. 1427 01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:51,400 Speaker 25: The that's where we are now, you know, that's exactly 1428 01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:53,360 Speaker 25: where we are. Yes, the coffers will be filled up 1429 01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:56,320 Speaker 25: and the promotional box will be ticked. I mean, I 1430 01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:58,960 Speaker 25: think we'd all prefer it to be back in the Republic. 1431 01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:01,720 Speaker 25: If you play South Africa, you know, four times, who 1432 01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:03,560 Speaker 25: want to play them four times in South Africa. 1433 01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:04,280 Speaker 3: Just like they used to. 1434 01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:06,720 Speaker 24: But you know, I just assumed it would have been 1435 01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:09,400 Speaker 24: in London given the huge xpact community in both countries. 1436 01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:10,760 Speaker 24: So if you had have asked me a couple of 1437 01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:13,639 Speaker 24: weeks ago to pick a city around the world where 1438 01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:16,160 Speaker 24: this fourth test is going to be, Baltimore probably would 1439 01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:16,639 Speaker 24: have been. 1440 01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:20,680 Speaker 3: Five or six hundred. Absolutely bizarre. 1441 01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:23,519 Speaker 24: It's got one of the highest crime rates in America 1442 01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:28,600 Speaker 24: and you're sending two teams who have absolutely no affiliation 1443 01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:32,080 Speaker 24: to Baltimore and the wider community. I just don't get it. 1444 01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:33,600 Speaker 24: And the other thing is I've said it time and 1445 01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:35,880 Speaker 24: time and time again. They can have a World Cup 1446 01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:38,360 Speaker 24: in America, they can send me all blacks to the 1447 01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:43,400 Speaker 24: Americas every second year. Rugby at a high, high level 1448 01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:47,280 Speaker 24: in America just will not work and hasn't for one 1449 01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:48,160 Speaker 24: hundred odd years. 1450 01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:51,760 Speaker 2: Sam and Piney, I thank you very much. Piney back 1451 01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:56,600 Speaker 2: on Dick later on today because you know he's in 1452 01:12:56,600 --> 01:13:00,280 Speaker 2: Wellington ate no anniversary day there. This is new talks 1453 01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:01,839 Speaker 2: hed b. It is a twenty three. 1454 01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:06,880 Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens on the Mic asking Breakfast with Alveda, Retirement, 1455 01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:08,559 Speaker 1: Communities News, togs head. 1456 01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:11,120 Speaker 2: Be News talks head Be. The story of the day 1457 01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:14,240 Speaker 2: obviously is a continuing tragedy at Mount Monlinui where they 1458 01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:17,439 Speaker 2: have paused work because there are dangers at more slips 1459 01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:20,839 Speaker 2: and they've announced a review. So the blame game has started. 1460 01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:22,479 Speaker 2: And many people have texted me over the course of 1461 01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:24,799 Speaker 2: this morning and saying it's too early for the blame 1462 01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:28,200 Speaker 2: game because there's still people in the ground. Warren writes Andrew, 1463 01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:30,479 Speaker 2: as a Mount local, I think the voices and opinions 1464 01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:33,280 Speaker 2: being raised need to continue. Far too often in New 1465 01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:36,000 Speaker 2: Zealand we play soft and let time remove the accountability 1466 01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:39,080 Speaker 2: that should have happened. This was a deplorable failure by 1467 01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:41,400 Speaker 2: the council. Have a read of the Canadian New Zealand 1468 01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:44,200 Speaker 2: Joint study regarding the slip potential of the Mount done 1469 01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:48,320 Speaker 2: in twenty fourteen. This was preventable through long term mitigation 1470 01:13:48,439 --> 01:13:52,600 Speaker 2: and through real time actions. Neither happened. Accountability hurts. This 1471 01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:55,960 Speaker 2: tragedy is not shrouded and gray. There are facts abounding 1472 01:13:56,240 --> 01:14:00,080 Speaker 2: that show incompetence and potentially criminal negligence. It's hard to 1473 01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:04,400 Speaker 2: have these conversations now, writes Warren, but they need to happen. 1474 01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:11,200 Speaker 2: He says. Our family feels sorrow for the family and 1475 01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:14,519 Speaker 2: friends hit by this avoidable disaster. Our family and friends 1476 01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:17,360 Speaker 2: in community also feel anger for a counsel and EWI 1477 01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:20,800 Speaker 2: that has ignored science, ignored common sense and found us all, 1478 01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:25,280 Speaker 2: especially for those families change forever. Conversations will continue and 1479 01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:27,360 Speaker 2: we will continue to help people to account, because that's 1480 01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:31,160 Speaker 2: what we are here to do, all right. I see 1481 01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:33,760 Speaker 2: the Australian of the Year has been named. It's an 1482 01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:36,760 Speaker 2: astronaut by the name of Katherine Bennett PEG twenty twenty 1483 01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:39,160 Speaker 2: six Australian of the Year. Another Australian of the Year 1484 01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:41,640 Speaker 2: is Steve Price. He joins me soon enough, this is 1485 01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:43,519 Speaker 2: the Breakfast Show. This is new salk V. 1486 01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:03,840 Speaker 1: Credible, compelling, the Breakfast Show. 1487 01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:04,720 Speaker 3: You confess. 1488 01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:10,799 Speaker 1: It's Andrew Dickens on the Mike asking breakfast with al Vida, Retirement, Communities, Life, 1489 01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:12,439 Speaker 1: your Way, News, Talks Dead b. 1490 01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:17,280 Speaker 2: Yes, it's talking. Anniversary day. Seventy percent of the country 1491 01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:19,960 Speaker 2: is on holiday, but thirty percent are not. It's you 1492 01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:22,519 Speaker 2: and I and all the team here keeping this country 1493 01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:26,480 Speaker 2: going and You're welcome. So Mike will be back tomorrow 1494 01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:29,320 Speaker 2: and he will be talking to the Prime Minister, who 1495 01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:32,080 Speaker 2: normally talks on Monday, but he's going to be talking tomorrow, 1496 01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:34,640 Speaker 2: doing the big old talk tomorrow. I would have liked 1497 01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:37,800 Speaker 2: to have talked to the Prime Minister today because of 1498 01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:40,280 Speaker 2: what happened in Mount Mntanuy, and I think it's time 1499 01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:42,640 Speaker 2: to go to a leader to have their thoughts. And 1500 01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:45,639 Speaker 2: I like to read this text out from Michael saying 1501 01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:47,919 Speaker 2: that the government should be setting the terms of reference 1502 01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:50,679 Speaker 2: for this review of what happened to Mount Monganuy, as 1503 01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:53,479 Speaker 2: well as the review person in the committee, because the 1504 01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:56,640 Speaker 2: Council will seek to reduce damage. Now this is a 1505 01:15:56,680 --> 01:15:59,559 Speaker 2: fair point, is it not? Because the Council is deciding 1506 01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:02,800 Speaker 2: the review, the reviewer and the terms of reference, and 1507 01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:06,280 Speaker 2: yet the Council are a party to what went wrong 1508 01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:09,439 Speaker 2: in all of this, so surely shouldn't the government do it. 1509 01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:12,520 Speaker 2: Michael goes on and says once again the wider implications 1510 01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:15,200 Speaker 2: of this for New Zealand civil defense and the way 1511 01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:18,320 Speaker 2: we respond to active weather events needs to be considered. 1512 01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:20,880 Speaker 2: And I would have to say I think I agree. 1513 01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:25,040 Speaker 12: It is twenty two to night International Correspondence with ends 1514 01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:28,679 Speaker 12: and Eye Insurance, Peace of mind for New Zealand business. 1515 01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:31,400 Speaker 2: All right to Australia, we go see Price. Good morning 1516 01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:32,040 Speaker 2: to you, sir. 1517 01:16:32,680 --> 01:16:35,839 Speaker 23: Gooday Andrew Public holiday here of course as well Australia 1518 01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:37,920 Speaker 23: Day today. 1519 01:16:37,640 --> 01:16:39,640 Speaker 2: And we'll talk about that because Kathy Freeman just got 1520 01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:41,720 Speaker 2: an honor. But first, the coalition is looking for a 1521 01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:42,200 Speaker 2: new leader. 1522 01:16:43,439 --> 01:16:45,760 Speaker 23: Well since I spoke to Mike last week, and I 1523 01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:49,719 Speaker 23: mean obviously the coalition has just imploded. The National Parties 1524 01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:53,200 Speaker 23: walked away from their coalition partners, the Liberals, and the 1525 01:16:53,200 --> 01:16:55,160 Speaker 23: Liberals are now sitting out there on their own and 1526 01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:58,559 Speaker 23: they probably are searching for a new leader. Susan Lee 1527 01:16:58,720 --> 01:17:01,760 Speaker 23: is not going to survive, that's pretty clear. And now 1528 01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:04,520 Speaker 23: they've got to work out exactly who they want to install. 1529 01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:08,920 Speaker 23: It either be probably Angus Taylor, who has been the 1530 01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:14,639 Speaker 23: Shadow Treasurer previously, or Andrew Hasty, former SAS trooper served 1531 01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:17,880 Speaker 23: in Afghanistan who's from WA. Part of the problem for 1532 01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:20,880 Speaker 23: Andrew Hasty is that he comes from West Australia, the 1533 01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:22,640 Speaker 23: other side of the country, and so that makes it 1534 01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:25,680 Speaker 23: very difficult to have him installed as leader. But his 1535 01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:27,720 Speaker 23: family today have endorsed the fact that he wants to 1536 01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:29,680 Speaker 23: put his hand up to it and we back you, 1537 01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:32,640 Speaker 23: so we will get a new opposition leader. Will it 1538 01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:37,760 Speaker 23: happen before Parliament resumes in February. Probably not. It's much 1539 01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:41,360 Speaker 23: easier to do these sort of things if everybody's in Canberra, 1540 01:17:41,479 --> 01:17:43,400 Speaker 23: as they will be for the start of the parliamentary 1541 01:17:43,479 --> 01:17:46,719 Speaker 23: year when February kicks off. So I'm suggesting that Susan 1542 01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:51,000 Speaker 23: Lee will probably be deposed. That will mean I suspect 1543 01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:53,760 Speaker 23: that she will walk away from her seat, which will 1544 01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:56,320 Speaker 23: cause a by election. Now that's going to be very 1545 01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:59,800 Speaker 23: interesting because, as I've told Mike before, one Nation is 1546 01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:03,240 Speaker 23: on arise in this country, led by Pauline Hanson, and 1547 01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:06,680 Speaker 23: there's one piece this morning that suggests if we were 1548 01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:10,280 Speaker 23: to hold an election, say next weekend, and it's very 1549 01:18:10,439 --> 01:18:13,519 Speaker 23: likely that one notion could actually pick up twenty four seats, 1550 01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:18,240 Speaker 23: of which they only at the moment have single figure numbers, 1551 01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:20,120 Speaker 23: and so if that was the case, they could become 1552 01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:23,880 Speaker 23: the official opposition Australian politics at the moment, Andrew is 1553 01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:26,120 Speaker 23: in a very very interesting state of flux. 1554 01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:28,840 Speaker 2: Yes, going bravely into the future by mining the past, 1555 01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:32,040 Speaker 2: you could have you could say so right as Australia 1556 01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:34,120 Speaker 2: day to day. Now, one thing about this it means 1557 01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:36,040 Speaker 2: that in the middle of the tennis we'll have a 1558 01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:39,120 Speaker 2: bit of a stoppage while the fireworks goes off over Melbourne, 1559 01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:41,760 Speaker 2: and that's always always frustrated the hell out of me. 1560 01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:44,360 Speaker 2: But the other thing about Australia Day today is that 1561 01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:45,880 Speaker 2: there's a new poll loud. 1562 01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:49,280 Speaker 23: There is And look, we've had this debate in this 1563 01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:52,320 Speaker 23: country for probably the last twenty years. Is the twenty 1564 01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:55,400 Speaker 23: sixth of January an appropriate day to have Australia Data. 1565 01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:58,160 Speaker 23: Of course, what it stands for, or what it recognizes, 1566 01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:02,400 Speaker 23: is the day that Captain Arthur Philip ented Sydney Cove 1567 01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:04,960 Speaker 23: and raised the Union jack and claimed Australia as a 1568 01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:08,600 Speaker 23: colony of Britain and Indigenous Australians is not happy about that. 1569 01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:11,640 Speaker 23: But there's a poll of ten thousand readers that the 1570 01:19:11,640 --> 01:19:14,559 Speaker 23: News Limited papers have conducted over the last couple of weeks. 1571 01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:18,599 Speaker 23: Three quarters of those people poul believe Australia Day should 1572 01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:21,120 Speaker 23: still be celebrated on the twenty sixth of January. In 1573 01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:25,960 Speaker 23: twenty fifty eighty seven percent said that the best thing 1574 01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:29,559 Speaker 23: was celebrating the country, while six percent. In uniting as 1575 01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:32,479 Speaker 23: a community, ninety percent of people were less likely to 1576 01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:36,400 Speaker 23: support businesses. And this is really interesting for anyone running 1577 01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:38,960 Speaker 23: a large corporation that thinks they might suddenly go whoa. 1578 01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:42,960 Speaker 23: Ninety percent say they would boycott a business if they 1579 01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:46,800 Speaker 23: did not recognize Australia Day. This came about after Woolworths, 1580 01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:49,759 Speaker 23: I think, not last Australia Day, but the one before, 1581 01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:53,320 Speaker 23: decided not to sell any Australiaday merchandise. That was in 1582 01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:56,320 Speaker 23: twenty twenty four, and in fact there was a huge 1583 01:19:56,360 --> 01:19:58,280 Speaker 23: backlash and a lot of people then said I'm not 1584 01:19:58,320 --> 01:20:00,479 Speaker 23: shopping at Woo Worse, I'm going to go and shop 1585 01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:04,479 Speaker 23: at our other big supermarket coles. And that's what happened. 1586 01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:08,840 Speaker 23: And so suddenly big business is going whoops, we might 1587 01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:11,719 Speaker 23: have read the room wrong here. And so Australia today 1588 01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:14,120 Speaker 23: it will be marked. I must say that there will 1589 01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:17,240 Speaker 23: be protests. There will be marches through the streets of 1590 01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:20,519 Speaker 23: our major capital cities by Indigenous groups who are still 1591 01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:23,439 Speaker 23: protesting the fact that the date should be changed. 1592 01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:27,120 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, I'm speaking about Indigenous Katy Freeman, given the highest 1593 01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:28,200 Speaker 2: Australia Day honor. 1594 01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:31,240 Speaker 23: Look at one of the greatest things I've ever witnessed 1595 01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:33,639 Speaker 23: was her winning that four hundred meters at Sydney Olympics. 1596 01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:35,479 Speaker 23: It doesn't seem like it was all the way back 1597 01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:39,080 Speaker 23: in two thousand, but it was so. Now twenty six 1598 01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:43,280 Speaker 23: years ago, she's been awarded the highest honor. She was 1599 01:20:43,320 --> 01:20:48,000 Speaker 23: called by former AOC president John Coates said, look, you've 1600 01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:51,320 Speaker 23: been given the AC which is the Companion of the 1601 01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:55,439 Speaker 23: Order of Australia, and she said, oh, well, that's great. 1602 01:20:55,479 --> 01:20:58,920 Speaker 23: She's very blase Kathy Freeman. She said, it's all down 1603 01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:02,240 Speaker 23: to my mum is the one that's made me what 1604 01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:04,960 Speaker 23: I am today. And she said it's a gift from 1605 01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:08,360 Speaker 23: the Australian people. Her mother told her she was buoyed 1606 01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:11,200 Speaker 23: by the fact that one of her idols, tennis Legendivon Carley, 1607 01:21:11,479 --> 01:21:15,320 Speaker 23: had also been awarded the AC also Indigenous Sportsperson back 1608 01:21:15,439 --> 01:21:19,479 Speaker 23: in twenty eighteen. Kathy Freeman's not seen very much publicly anymore, 1609 01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:22,600 Speaker 23: but who could forget Andrew when she stood up in 1610 01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:25,679 Speaker 23: the running suit and that caldron at the Sydney Olympics. 1611 01:21:25,680 --> 01:21:26,280 Speaker 23: Obs amazing. 1612 01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:28,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, And of course when she won the gold and 1613 01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:30,040 Speaker 2: she ran around with the flag, that was an incredible 1614 01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:31,920 Speaker 2: scene as well. It was all beautiful and thank you 1615 01:21:31,960 --> 01:21:34,639 Speaker 2: so much, Steve Price from Australia here on News TALKSB. 1616 01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:38,519 Speaker 2: Another text through from Christopher says, the Council cannot be 1617 01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:40,599 Speaker 2: in a position to set the requirements for a commission 1618 01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:43,280 Speaker 2: of inquiry or any investigation. To allow this sort of 1619 01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:45,439 Speaker 2: thing just means they're marking their own homework and that's 1620 01:21:45,479 --> 01:21:47,680 Speaker 2: not acceptable. I mean, while someone else says, and this 1621 01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:50,320 Speaker 2: is interesting, one one one should have an option for 1622 01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:54,120 Speaker 2: civil defense. So imagine if that was in place already, 1623 01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:58,760 Speaker 2: and that is a nationwide consideration, But imagine if Lisa 1624 01:21:58,840 --> 01:22:01,640 Speaker 2: mcclearen had gone up there, had that feeling in her 1625 01:22:01,680 --> 01:22:04,360 Speaker 2: bones and said right, I'm going to one one mon 1626 01:22:04,479 --> 01:22:07,599 Speaker 2: this and told the civil defense and got everybody swinging 1627 01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:10,200 Speaker 2: into action. She felt those he had to go and 1628 01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:13,080 Speaker 2: warm people herself, and it appears that she lost her 1629 01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:15,559 Speaker 2: life doing so. But maybe we should have a one 1630 01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:17,479 Speaker 2: on one and we should have a civil defense option. 1631 01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:18,880 Speaker 2: What do you think it is? 1632 01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:25,120 Speaker 1: Sixteen tonight the Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, 1633 01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:26,640 Speaker 1: Howard By News Talks that Be. 1634 01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:30,160 Speaker 2: Pete writes, Andrew, where do you get that figure of 1635 01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:32,960 Speaker 2: seventy percent of New Zealanders are on holiday today. Are 1636 01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:35,920 Speaker 2: you referring just to Aucklanders with Auckland Anniversary Day? No, 1637 01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:39,719 Speaker 2: I'm not, Pete. It's also Northland Anniversary Day as well, 1638 01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:43,040 Speaker 2: so in the Auckland region that celebrates the anniversary goes 1639 01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:46,040 Speaker 2: way you down the North Island and in that whole 1640 01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:50,040 Speaker 2: area taking holiday today seventy percent of New Zealanders. And 1641 01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:52,320 Speaker 2: that's why, and that's why Mike's not here, but he 1642 01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:56,879 Speaker 2: will be here tomorrow now. Over the weekend, Winston Peters 1643 01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:03,880 Speaker 2: targeted what he called unelected globalist bureaucrats, and he criticized 1644 01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:07,920 Speaker 2: international bodies, including the World Health Organization, and Winston question 1645 01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:11,080 Speaker 2: whether the New Zealand to continue funding organizations that he 1646 01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:15,479 Speaker 2: says exert too much influence over domestic policy. This is 1647 01:23:15,479 --> 01:23:18,120 Speaker 2: an RFK Junior and Donald Trump sort of thing, isn't it? 1648 01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:21,479 Speaker 2: But remember Winston's always said this sort of thing. But 1649 01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:23,840 Speaker 2: I've got a question for Winston Peters, who are you 1650 01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:28,280 Speaker 2: saying this as are you saying this as foreign minister? 1651 01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:31,000 Speaker 2: In which case did you ask the Prime Minister for 1652 01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:33,360 Speaker 2: permission to say this or did you ask m fat 1653 01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:36,680 Speaker 2: about what your policy position is he actually posted all 1654 01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:39,720 Speaker 2: this on a personal social media page, so we can 1655 01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:45,080 Speaker 2: presume it's as Winston Peters professional politician, which is all 1656 01:23:45,200 --> 01:23:47,920 Speaker 2: just a little bit rich when you consider his attack 1657 01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:50,559 Speaker 2: of the Reserve Bank Governor Anna Bremham. And so I'd 1658 01:23:50,600 --> 01:23:54,400 Speaker 2: like to ask you, Winston, what lane are you in, 1659 01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:59,439 Speaker 2: foreign Minister, because what source for the goose is also 1660 01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:04,479 Speaker 2: for the gander. It's eleven to nine. 1661 01:24:04,880 --> 01:24:08,719 Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens on the mic hosking Breakfast with the Defender 1662 01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:09,720 Speaker 1: and used togs B. 1663 01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:14,960 Speaker 2: So text through Andrew go Winston dot dot dot dot dot, 1664 01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:17,040 Speaker 2: thank you so much. Another text says I agree with 1665 01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:20,280 Speaker 2: him if he's talking about a self appointed world forum, Well, 1666 01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:24,080 Speaker 2: well yeah, the World Health Organization is an organization that 1667 01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:26,400 Speaker 2: you sign up to and this country has signed up 1668 01:24:26,439 --> 01:24:30,040 Speaker 2: to it, so it's not self appointed. We actually then 1669 01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:32,479 Speaker 2: went for the whole thing, and we contribute to the 1670 01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:34,360 Speaker 2: whole thing, and they're supposed to listen to the whole thing. 1671 01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:38,720 Speaker 2: But there we go. But that's by the bye. The 1672 01:24:38,840 --> 01:24:42,120 Speaker 2: question is what how was he saying this is foreign 1673 01:24:42,160 --> 01:24:44,760 Speaker 2: minister or was he saying this is Winston Peters? And 1674 01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:46,759 Speaker 2: I think if he asked the question of a Brennemer. 1675 01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:49,800 Speaker 2: He should the answer. He should be providing an answer 1676 01:24:49,800 --> 01:24:53,880 Speaker 2: to us as well. So the Mainlander is back. This 1677 01:24:53,920 --> 01:24:56,320 Speaker 2: is the long distance train service in the South Island 1678 01:24:56,320 --> 01:24:58,080 Speaker 2: and it's a real hit. The first trip sold out. 1679 01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:01,280 Speaker 2: Demand has stayed strong. More seas journeys are being added. 1680 01:25:01,479 --> 01:25:04,240 Speaker 2: Some are now asking should we have a proper commuter 1681 01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:07,920 Speaker 2: rail service down South Well, No, the mainland is built 1682 01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:11,320 Speaker 2: for tourism, not daily travel. Ye, people are into it. 1683 01:25:11,400 --> 01:25:14,439 Speaker 2: Crists is growing, sure, but this is still a scenic 1684 01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:17,559 Speaker 2: train and I don't think the numbers are quite there 1685 01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:19,880 Speaker 2: for it. Meanwhile, up north, the future of to Whoia 1686 01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:22,360 Speaker 2: is back in the spotlight. The regional council there is 1687 01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:26,040 Speaker 2: asked NCATA to extend the services trial by one more year. 1688 01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:29,559 Speaker 2: They say patronage is improving, they want time to see 1689 01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:32,599 Speaker 2: if the impact of the Auckland City Rail Link helps 1690 01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:35,360 Speaker 2: it all. The ncfta chair by Cybn Bridges, will make 1691 01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:37,680 Speaker 2: the funding call in February. And so for now, to 1692 01:25:37,680 --> 01:25:40,840 Speaker 2: Whuia keeps running Hamilton to Auckland. Apparently some days it 1693 01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:43,439 Speaker 2: has up to five hundred passengers. And for me, to 1694 01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:47,759 Speaker 2: Huia started too soon because passengers had to change trains 1695 01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:51,160 Speaker 2: and the journey took longer than a car. But despite that, 1696 01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:54,240 Speaker 2: people got into it. Five hundred people every now and 1697 01:25:54,280 --> 01:25:57,280 Speaker 2: then the journey that when they're in the train, that's 1698 01:25:57,280 --> 01:25:59,960 Speaker 2: bonus office time because it can still work on the laptops. 1699 01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:03,760 Speaker 2: So to who, he is not a wild success as 1700 01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:08,240 Speaker 2: a commuter train, certainly, ain't no scenic train bless. I mean, 1701 01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:10,800 Speaker 2: I love Franklin County, I love the White Kaddow, but 1702 01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:13,920 Speaker 2: ain't no scenic train. So it is a commuter train. 1703 01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:17,120 Speaker 2: It's not a wild success, but nor is it a failure. 1704 01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:19,720 Speaker 2: So this is an experiment that happened before its time, 1705 01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:22,640 Speaker 2: and maybe I think maybe it does need to be 1706 01:26:22,680 --> 01:26:25,920 Speaker 2: given a chance. It is six minutes to. 1707 01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:31,439 Speaker 1: Nine trending now with chemis Wells great savings every day. 1708 01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:34,000 Speaker 2: Right, we want to take you to the tour down Under. 1709 01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:36,920 Speaker 2: This is a big old cycle race, one of the classics. 1710 01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:41,040 Speaker 2: It's around Adelaide and the McLaren Vale. It's the opening 1711 01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:44,240 Speaker 2: event of the UCI World Tour. It's big. It's been 1712 01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:47,400 Speaker 2: won by an Aussie cyclist called Jay Vine. So he 1713 01:26:47,439 --> 01:26:49,439 Speaker 2: went into the final leg with a lead of one 1714 01:26:49,479 --> 01:26:51,640 Speaker 2: minute and three seconds and all was good. But then 1715 01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:56,160 Speaker 2: it wasn't because Jay crashed, and he crashed because of 1716 01:26:56,320 --> 01:26:58,920 Speaker 2: wild life crash and the peloton. 1717 01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:06,519 Speaker 16: Kangaroo has jumped into the wide shot and just you 1718 01:27:06,600 --> 01:27:09,120 Speaker 16: see the crash has happened there. You haven't seen the 1719 01:27:09,240 --> 01:27:11,080 Speaker 16: kangaroo initially coming in. 1720 01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:12,280 Speaker 3: He's in the middle of the road. 1721 01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:14,560 Speaker 2: Oh do yeh. 1722 01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:17,160 Speaker 3: That's tragic. 1723 01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:19,799 Speaker 9: Yeah, and he's also took a knock as well. 1724 01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:24,559 Speaker 2: The kangaroo. Yeah, the he didn't hit he didn't hit 1725 01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:28,639 Speaker 2: the room. The roo hit him. Rus are angry creatures. 1726 01:27:29,200 --> 01:27:32,160 Speaker 2: My theory is they're angry because their front arms are 1727 01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:37,080 Speaker 2: too small. Glenn has the same theory about who t rexes. 1728 01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:41,479 Speaker 2: T Rexes little arms, little arms, big teeth, angry, don't 1729 01:27:41,520 --> 01:27:45,680 Speaker 2: go near them. Rouse little arms, big legs, don't go 1730 01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:49,280 Speaker 2: near them. But Jay still got on. He was lucky 1731 01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:51,639 Speaker 2: that the kangaroo and crash actually caused these three other 1732 01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:53,960 Speaker 2: riders to have to quit because of injury, and so 1733 01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:56,439 Speaker 2: Jay got back on his bike, had to change bikes 1734 01:27:56,479 --> 01:28:00,400 Speaker 2: twice and eventually rejoined the peloton, and he ended up 1735 01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:03,800 Speaker 2: winning by one minute and three seconds despite all the 1736 01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:10,559 Speaker 2: damage that the rue tried to do. All right, time 1737 01:28:10,560 --> 01:28:15,400 Speaker 2: for me to go and we'll get into our anniversary 1738 01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:18,240 Speaker 2: day show for the whole nation.
