So how much of 16 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 2: a difference will that make to New Zealand companies and 17 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 2: international tenders.

The agenda Judge Wednesday, the twelfth of March, 23 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 2: and Donald Trump is hit back at the Canadians, saying 24 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 2: he will double tariffs on Canadian steel and the iminium 25 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 2: from twenty five percent now up to fifty percent. Trump 26 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 2: says the tariffs will begin on Wednesday, and it's in 27 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: retaliation for a twenty five percent of tariffs that Ontario 28 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 2: placed on electricity, the electricity it sends to northern US States. 29 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 2: So here is Ontario's Premier, Doug Ford. 30 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 3: Let me be clear. I will not hesitate to increase 31 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 3: this charge if necessary if the United States escalates, I 32 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 3: will not hesitate to shut the electricity off completely. Believe 33 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 3: me when I say I do not want to do this. 34 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 3: I feel terrible for the American people because it's not 35 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 3: the American people who started this trade war. It's one 36 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 3: person who's responsible. That's President Trump. 37 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 2: Doug Ford in Make County. They're up for a finaln't 38 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 2: they a right to America? And US Secretary of State 39 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 2: Marco Rubio has been meeting with Ukrainian officials. This is 40 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 2: happening in Saudi Arabia, talks on ending the Russian Ukraine War. 41 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 2: Atop Zelenski aids, here's the talks have been very constructive 42 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 2: so far. 43 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 4: The Americans want to assess whether or not they think 44 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 4: the Ukrainians in their view, are serious. But of course, 45 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 4: from the Ukrainian perspective, they've always seen that they're serious 46 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 4: about wanting the war to stop. They want to do 47 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 4: it with a mechanism in place to guarantee and police 48 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 4: a cease fire, i e. You know, a promise of 49 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 4: UAX security systems if push came to shop. So that's 50 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 4: the first kind of you know, fundamental roadblock that still 51 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 4: exists between these two sides. 52 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, of course people are fighting and people are dying. 53 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 2: In fact, three people have been killed in an overnight 54 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 2: drone attack in Russia. This was on the Moscow region, 55 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 2: and Russia says it's the largest such attack of the war. 56 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: And the former President of the Philippines, Rodrigo de Tete, 57 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 2: has been arrested at Mina's International Airport on order of 58 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 2: the inter National Criminal Court in connection with the case 59 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 2: of crime against humanity which has been filed against him. 60 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 2: He's seventy nine years old these days. He was arrested 61 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 2: after arriving from Hong Kong. Police took him into custody 62 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 2: on the orders of the ICC. They've been investigating the 63 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 2: massive killings that happened under the former president's crackdown against 64 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 2: illegal drugs. This is President Fernando Marcus, officers said in 65 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,239 Speaker 2: this statement. A Meanwhile, Rodrigo de Tete questions his arrest. 66 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 5: But this is a good crime that I comite me 67 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 5: now the legal paces for my being here, I say, 68 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 5: apparently I was brought here, not of. 69 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 3: My own mollie coat. 70 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 2: There we go, names and stories from the past. It 71 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 2: is ten out of five. 72 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: The News you Need this morning and the in depth 73 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: Analysis early edition with Andrew Dickens and one roof Make 74 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: Your Property Search Simple or sibby. 75 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 2: Yes, Oh, they are messing with rugby again and this 76 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 2: time it's junior rugby as the kids rugby that they're 77 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 2: falling with biggest shake up in decades. Under a new proposal, 78 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 2: kids won't play fifteen a side footy until they reach 79 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 2: high school. It will be ten a side up to 80 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 2: year seven thirteen a side. There's at number thirteen a 81 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 2: side and year eight and the changes are aimed at 82 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 2: improving enjoyment and confidence levels, and children and their final 83 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 2: year at intermediate school. This is year eight will play 84 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 2: thirteen a side rugby on a slightly narrower field by 85 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 2: about ten meters five meters each side. It's proposed that 86 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 2: there will be five forwards and eight backs. There will 87 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 2: be no flankers. There will be no flankers, and intermediate 88 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 2: rugby Year seven children will play tennis side rugby on 89 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 2: a half sized adult field. New Zealand Rugby is also 90 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 2: stressing the requirement for coaches and parents not to pigeonhole 91 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 2: players into positions too early, which I can see appointed 92 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 2: that change designed to focus children's progression towards tackling properly. 93 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 2: Players will be taught to place the ball when tackled, 94 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 2: with the half back directed to immediately pass the ball. 95 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 2: And that was the final straw for many people in 96 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 2: the rugby community, because, as one said, oh are we 97 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 2: just rugby league now. However, there are supporters of the changes. 98 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 2: They say the over competitive nature of boys rugby leading 99 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 2: into secondary school age and beyond was precisely why the 100 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 2: changes would need. But I'd say to them that the 101 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 2: competitiveness of our secondary rugby is exactly why our rugby 102 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 2: is todayed so competitive internationally in the men's game. Look, 103 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 2: this is going to cause a lot of talkback and 104 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 2: a lot of talk and I can see where the 105 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 2: Union are coming from. It could make for a faster 106 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 2: fits a game and it could mean that finally all 107 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 2: players learned to tackle correctly. But you know, participation numbers 108 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 2: in rugby are remaining high, and so you have to ask, 109 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 2: if it ain't broke, why go out and fix it? 110 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 2: Andrew Dickens, Mike Mike Heester from the NCIA is going 111 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 2: to be talking to Mike Hosking later on in the 112 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 2: show about ten to eight this morning. Hey, whatever the 113 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 2: government says about the economy being our number one concern, 114 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 2: that's not the way that voters, voters are thinking. A 115 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 2: poll published by Horizon Research found that the health system 116 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: is our most important worry. It's ranked above all else 117 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 2: including the economy and the cost of living. And as 118 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 2: a worrying thing for Chris Luxon as well, is that 119 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 2: it is the number one priority amongst national act at 120 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 2: New Zealand First voters, health has always been our main 121 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 2: concern and it's still our main concern, and it's particularly 122 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 2: the main concern of older voters. So yesterday Simon Brown 123 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,799 Speaker 2: called ty Hoe on the culling of Health New Zealand's 124 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 2: IT sector. Two thousand workers could have lost their job. 125 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 2: This is a good thing because I think it realizes 126 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 2: how critical it is in the provision of health services, 127 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 2: and it shows that the public service cuts have not 128 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 2: been as forensic as we thought they might be. And 129 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 2: I've long had the suspicion that public service bosses were 130 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 2: told to cut their costs by a percentage and then 131 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 2: they just went out and chose the low lying fruit, 132 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 2: and that didn't make a lot of sense to me. 133 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 2: So public service costs are essential, despite some seeming to 134 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,679 Speaker 2: be expensive. And the new Health Minister, in calling Tyhoe 135 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 2: on the cut to the staff, seems to recognize this, 136 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 2: and I think he's doing a good job of it, 137 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 2: and he's using logic and analysis instead of knee jerk reactions. 138 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 2: Well done, Simeon. It's five fourteen, So to the schools 139 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 2: we go. The food's been getting it and now our 140 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 2: company's gone bust. Now what does this mean for the program? 141 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 2: And we'll talk to a principle in a few moments time, 142 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 2: someone who's tasted the food. And that's a good thing. 143 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 2: This is news talk here b it is five fourteen. 144 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition Andrew Dickens 145 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: and one roof make your property search simple news talks 146 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: it be after five. 147 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 2: Roy likes the changes to rugby. He says rugby's been 148 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 2: doing some thinking that kids like to keep the ball alive, 149 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: so that is he reconsists a good idea. What do 150 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 2: you think you can text me on ninety ninety two, 151 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 2: but you know, not playing on the full game until 152 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 2: secondary school. That seems a little late, don't you think anyway? 153 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 2: Overheated late bland, beige, melted plastic covered food. We've heard 154 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 2: all the headlines about the school lunch program and now 155 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 2: we hear the major school lunch provider, La Belle, has 156 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 2: been placed into liquidation. The Belle has contracted to deliver 157 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty five thousand meals a day. This 158 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 2: responsibility will now fall on Compass, who are the only 159 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 2: other school lunch provider. They're also helping out the bell 160 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 2: with their liquidation and their workers. It's a good on 161 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 2: your Compass. A Catol Intermediate Principal Phil Palfrey was on 162 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 2: the working committee to set up the lunch program and 163 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 2: he joins me. 164 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 6: Now, good morning to you film, good morning, how are you? 165 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 2: I'm good. How worried should we be about this liquidation? 166 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 6: Well, I don't know. For me, it's it just seems 167 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 6: to be a one aspect that just shows how bad 168 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 6: the whole thing was. It just shows that well. In fact, 169 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 6: we interviewed LaBelle about when the program first began, when 170 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 6: this into a journal, government bought it in, and we 171 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 6: just felt that they went up to the scratch up 172 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 6: to scratch them and and we appointed at that time 173 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 6: we were allowed to appoint our own provider, and we 174 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 6: appointed a local person who ended up doing it for 175 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 6: us for the for all the time until last year 176 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 6: when they were cut and they did a fantastic job, 177 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 6: and when you heard from LeBell again until this whole 178 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 6: new arrangement began, and you know, we didn't really know 179 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 6: them that well, it just didn't work. 180 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 2: It hasn't worked, and I didn't going forward with what 181 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 2: we have, it seems to me that you think the 182 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 2: Bell was the company causing problem. So the question and 183 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 2: we now have we're talking about lunches next week, is 184 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 2: can Compass meet the demand on its own? 185 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 6: I have no idea. I have no idea. I don't 186 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 6: really have great faith in it, and I just, well, 187 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 6: my only worship that would just go back to what 188 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 6: it was before. It apparently is a saving at one 189 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 6: hundred million dollars, but I don't know if that's We 190 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 6: don't know if that's going to work out to be 191 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 6: that saving in the first place. But I do know 192 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 6: that three dollars a meal is just ridiculous and it 193 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 6: hasn't worked, and I just would love to go back 194 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 6: to the old system, and I think our country should 195 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 6: afford it and could afford it. 196 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 2: You were on the working committee that set up the 197 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 2: lunch program in the first place, So are you just 198 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 2: resistant to change? 199 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 6: Oh no, I'm not. I'm an older principle, but I'm 200 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 6: not resistant to change. I was assured that the program 201 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 6: would be very similar to what we have now, so 202 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 6: I was prepared to see how panned out. But right 203 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 6: from the very start, I saw the quality of the food, 204 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 6: and I saw the reaction from my students and my kids. 205 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 6: We're a load sol low equity school, a high equity school, 206 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 6: and we our kids need the food, There's no doubt 207 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 6: about that, but they just I just it haven't worked. 208 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 6: The too of them don't like it actually, and yeah, 209 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 6: that's just a good program. 210 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:29,839 Speaker 2: Phil, thank you so much for getting up early to 211 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 2: it for us. Phil is the Cotal Intermediate Principle up 212 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 2: North and was on the program that set up the 213 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 2: lunches in the first place back in the day. It 214 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 2: is five twenty. It's News Talks B. 215 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with 216 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens and One Roof to make your Property search 217 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: Simple for Youth Talks B. 218 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,079 Speaker 2: It's FY twenty two. 219 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 7: Look. 220 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 2: The government is bringing in new procurement rules for tenders 221 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 2: for government works and they're simplifying the bidding process and 222 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 2: they're reducing the regulatory framework. This is about fifty billion 223 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,719 Speaker 2: dollars worth of work. They're making it easier and they're 224 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 2: getting rid of some of the rules. Some of the 225 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 2: rules they're getting rid of. If you're going to build 226 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 2: a government building, you don't necessarily have to go to 227 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 2: five star rating, if it's non residential, you don't have 228 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 2: to have electric or hybrid electric vehicles, you don't have 229 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,839 Speaker 2: to have office supplies that are recyclable, and you do 230 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 2: not need to pay the living wage and contracts. It's 231 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 2: going to be replaced by a new economic benefit rule. 232 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 2: It's fifty billion dollars worth of work. We'll talk about 233 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 2: this just before six o'clock today. So we have changes 234 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 2: to Quantus's loyalty scheme. It's taking off today. They're raiding 235 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 2: the competition as part of it. I mean it's a 236 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 2: good deal for Quantus people, but also they're raiding the 237 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 2: competition with frequent flyers of other airlines at gold status 238 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 2: or hire able to get Quantus Gold by earning just 239 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 2: one hundred credits just buy a ticket and where you go, 240 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 2: rather than the usual seven hundred air New Zealand also 241 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 2: updated its airpoints system last year. So I'm joined by 242 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 2: aviation commentator Irene King. Hello, Irene, good morning. Is this 243 00:12:58,920 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 2: a big deal? 244 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 8: I think it's hugely technical and you know we're starting 245 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 8: to see more and more sales in the market and 246 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 8: this is just a different form of a sale. 247 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 2: Well, will this attract any New Zealand's frequent flyer? Did 248 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 2: suddenly switch allegiance to quantas Oh? 249 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 8: I think people now are pretty smart. They have allegiances 250 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 8: all over the place and you know you just go 251 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 8: for the best stale. 252 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,719 Speaker 2: Is there a New Zealand competitive we see Quantus making 253 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 2: these changes. Their New Zealan made some changes last year. 254 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 2: Are we keeping up? 255 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 8: Look? I think there's two things. This Quantus announcement is 256 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 8: hugely technical. It's about Keshlo and getting law engagement from 257 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 8: high spending, high ball customers. A New Zealands is more about, 258 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 8: you know, brand refresh. It's not as technical. It's about 259 00:13:54,800 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 8: setting a simple, smart response of for and that's what 260 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 8: in New Zealand does well. You know, it does things 261 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 8: generally very simply, very smart and can respond very quickly. 262 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 2: For those people who do like the Quantus and are 263 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,959 Speaker 2: frequent flyers and going through the teas, this new scheme 264 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 2: offers frequent fires. It has to step through those tears 265 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 2: faster and so you can then access better service or 266 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 2: you can use your points to buy flights. So what 267 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 2: do travelers prefer? Better lounges or bonus flights? 268 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 9: Bonus flights? 269 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 8: You know, I think the lounges are all pretty much 270 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 8: of a muchness now, but you get this and centers 271 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 8: around bonus slights or you know, the ability to secure 272 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 8: your status for a longer period of time. You know, 273 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 8: those are the things that customers really respond to. 274 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 2: Irene I thank you once again for waking up for 275 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 2: us Irene and King the aviation commentator. So check out 276 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 2: your point scheme, particularly for your quantus, so you can 277 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 2: really double your points very very quickly. Indeed, now it 278 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 2: is five twenty five us. 279 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: B looking the early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio 280 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: how It by Newstalk h B. 281 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 2: News Talks hit B. I'm Andrew Dickinson for Ryan Bridge. 282 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 2: It's five twenty seven. These days, we're always looking for 283 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 2: any little clue that the old normal is coming back. 284 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 2: It was the fifth anniversary of the pandemic yesterday. I 285 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 2: don't think the new normal is coming back. So let's 286 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 2: look at houses. ASB lowered its house price inflation forecast 287 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 2: for this year, it's chief economist Nick Toughly, reckons the 288 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 2: pickup in sales has been sluggish. He says there's a 289 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 2: lot of stock on the market. They believe prices will 290 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 2: fall to the first half of this year. Therefore, the 291 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 2: bank has more than halved its house price growth forecast 292 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 2: for twenty twenty five from just or to just three 293 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 2: point four percent when it used to be nine three 294 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 2: point four percent. That's the capital growth you can expect. 295 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 2: That's more in line with inflation than for a long time. 296 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 2: In other words, buying a house at the moment is 297 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 2: no longer the path to automatic capital gain. Question is 298 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 2: how long will it last? Anyway, faced with the fact 299 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 2: that it's just three point four percent of house inflation, 300 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 2: house owners are more likely to stay put. And you remember, 301 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 2: back in the old normal, churn was the name of 302 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 2: the game. You'd often buy and sell a lot to 303 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 2: climb up through the property ladder. I went through five 304 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 2: houses in five years to get to a better place. 305 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 2: In today's climate, you're more likely to stay in any 306 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 2: house you own because a bird in the hand is 307 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 2: with two in the bush, and you want some stability, 308 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 2: because stability and security is now the new normal. So 309 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 2: this is why we've got more stock. And this, you 310 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 2: have to say, is more in line with overseas models 311 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 2: where people stay in their houses for longer, accepting the 312 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 2: limitations of the market and building a day to day 313 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 2: life that they can count on. Now in New Zealand, 314 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 2: we've been through boom and bust periods before and prices 315 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 2: have always come back. It's sort of like, oh that 316 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 2: they always come back. It'll come back, mate, But what 317 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 2: if they don't is that such a bad thing. People 318 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 2: have often said that our property fixation has been at 319 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 2: the expense of real productivity growth. Anyway, what will happen 320 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 2: next is anyone's guest. But I'll tell you something else. 321 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 2: The bank pointed out something that I got worried about. 322 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 2: Immigration levels are staying stubbornly low after booming right after 323 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 2: the pandemic. We are not an attractive destination. And maybe 324 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 2: that's because of the image we're presented of ourselves as 325 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 2: a basket place economy. So look, anyway, maybe the housing 326 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 2: crisis is over, maybe we're going to have a stable economy. 327 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 2: But I'll tell you one thing. It's not a get 328 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 2: rich quick paradise anymore right now, but it is a 329 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 2: nice place to live.

It's between the Prime Minister, other ministers 406 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 12: and the mayor. Tory Faro here. It emerged yesterday that 407 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 12: the collection of councils from the Wellington region aren't applying 408 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 12: for a regional infrastructure deal with the government. That's because 409 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 12: they weren't ready by the deadline. So PM Chris Luxon 410 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 12: and Labor leader Chris Hipkins both criticized the area's mayors 411 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 12: for fightling to agree on some joint projects to apply for. 412 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 12: Luxon says it didn't make sense to him. He called 413 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,199 Speaker 12: the decision lame. Tory Farno's hit back, saying his comments 414 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 12: a pretty poor form from the country's leader. She says 415 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 12: the Department of Internal Affairs told her counsel's Crown Observer 416 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 12: that Wellington wouldn't meet the criteria anyway as its primary 417 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 12: focus right now is water reform, and Tory Fano now 418 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 12: says she wants the minister to walk back those comments.

It's one of the CBD, 423 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 2: but now the council wants who expand them? 424 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 13: Correct, Now what that is.

So we've got 481 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 2: the collision between the oil tanker and the cargo vessel 482 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 2: and they're still on fire. 483 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 7: Yes, I'm afraid. So one of the vessels still on fire. 484 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 7: The other has now been put out. But the latest 485 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 7: is a fifty nine year old man has now been 486 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 7: arrested and that is in connection on suspicion of gross 487 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 7: negligence manslaughter. And that is because one person is missing, 488 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,919 Speaker 7: presumed dead, and also of course because one of the 489 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 7: ships was actually stationary, was moored up at the time 490 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 7: and appears to have been just struck by another one. 491 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 7: And this happened in daylight hours. The conditions had were 492 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 7: really pretty good. It was daylight, as I said, the 493 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 7: fog that was overnight and early morning had predominantly cleared. 494 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 7: And people just can't understand how this accident could have happened. 495 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 7: Both ships absolutely massive. On a more positive note, there 496 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 7: was talk about a cyanide compound on board one of 497 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 7: the ships. The owner of that ship has in the 498 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 7: last few hours said no, no, no, the containers had 499 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 7: stored that, but at the time of this accident and fire, 500 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 7: there was none of that compound on board. 501 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 2: Okay, Now we've got the President of America refusing to 502 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 2: rule out the fact that there may be a recession 503 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 2: for the US this year. We've had the US stocks 504 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 2: go down overnight, and we've had turmoil in Europe so 505 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 2: far this week. 506 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 7: Yeah, we have, and that looked to have been halted 507 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 7: earlier our time this morning, a few hours ago when 508 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,360 Speaker 7: I logged on, actually the CAC that's the French indusicy 509 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 7: had climb point two of a percent, Germany's dacks had 510 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 7: risen point four percent, and the foot seat was by 511 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 7: and large pretty flat. Here in the UK, I've just 512 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 7: looked again and the last couple of hours have been 513 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 7: pretty rough. The foot seat now down one point two percent, 514 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 7: the CACK down almost one and a half and the 515 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 7: dacks down one and a third percent. So significant disruption, 516 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 7: still significant uncertainty in the markets as Donald Trump's very 517 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 7: very flip flop on ideas and tariffs and embargoes all 518 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 7: the time seems to cause a great deal of uncertainty, 519 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 7: and that is one thing, Andrew, as you know that 520 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 7: the markets absolutely can't stand. 521 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 2: Yes and they can't predict what's going to happen next, 522 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 2: and they like to do that. And I thank you 523 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 2: so much. Gavin Gray from the UK. It is now 524 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 2: twelve to six. Andrew Dickens, all right, this sounds like 525 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 2: a dry old story, but it's not. The Government's proposing 526 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 2: changes to procurement rules. This is to make it easier 527 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 2: for New Zealand businesses to win government contracts. Currently, there 528 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 2: are seventy one rules that agencies have to follow when 529 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 2: tendering contracts and the government wants to reduce it to 530 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 2: forty seven. The Economic Growth of Minister Nichola Willis, who 531 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 2: is on with Mike later tonight. Later this morning, she 532 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 2: says the contracts are collectively worth more than fifty billion 533 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 2: dollars a year. We've got the Wellington Chamber of Commons 534 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 2: CEO Simon Arkis will be this morning. Good on it 535 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 2: to assignment. 536 00:27:58,640 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 9: Good morning here you are you? 537 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 2: Oh, I'm fine. This is a good idea where those 538 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 2: rules ridiculous. 539 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 9: Well, it's really good for New Zealand business. And part 540 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 9: of the reason for that is because we now recognize 541 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 9: the extra contribution that New Zealand businesses make. For example, 542 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 9: they employ people that pay tax versus another you know, 543 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 9: international entity which might not. 544 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 2: This is true, and this is why the cutting of 545 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 2: government spending on all sorts of contracts around them place 546 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 2: has actually had a ripple effect that's gone through our 547 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 2: entire economy because these people pay tax in New Zealand. 548 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 2: So there we go. How big of a difference in 549 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 2: cutting wed take will this make? 550 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 9: Look it's a big change, and I think it's also 551 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 9: what we're really getting from that is the theme. This 552 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 9: is what we want to see. You want to see 553 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 9: it easier to do these sorts of things, and I 554 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 9: don't think it overly advantages of New Zealand business in 555 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 9: any way. So it's actually very sensible move. 556 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 2: A good idea, I hope, well for things like you know, 557 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 2: the the living waves cutting that and the evs and 558 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 2: all that sort of thing. What they've done is introduce 559 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 2: what's called an economic benefit test to the regime, so 560 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 2: everything has to be looked at to see whether the 561 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 2: bid is economically beneficial to New Zealand. Should this have 562 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 2: been happening with government processes and procurement from the get. 563 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 9: Go, well, I think it should and I think in 564 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 9: some ways perhaps it was read in their times when 565 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 9: decisions were made. But it's really good to see it explicit. 566 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 9: And I agree with Andrew from a get go we 567 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 9: should have had these kind of rules. 568 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 2: Okay, are the New Zealand businesses who want contract? Is 569 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 2: there a demand for it? 570 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 9: Very much so. And I'll tell you what. The other 571 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 9: thing that's quite exciting about it is that you end 572 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 9: up being able to perhaps a ward a contract to 573 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 9: a business that can scale up, so they say, you know, 574 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 9: we can do this. We just go have to get 575 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 9: a few few extra people and we'll make it work. 576 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 9: And that's great if there are opportunities like that created 577 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 9: along the way, but. 578 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 2: It could advantage New Zealand business right at the time 579 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 2: when we're trying to attract international investment. We've got a 580 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 2: conference coming up this week for instance. You know, if 581 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 2: we're advantaging New Zealand businesses, are we actually turning our 582 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 2: back on international opportunities? 583 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 9: I don't think so, because you'll find these sorts of 584 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 9: rules that quite explicit in lots of jurisdiction. They're not 585 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 9: They're not unusual at all. And when you think about 586 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 9: you know the way that some businesses employee, you know, 587 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 9: almost whole communities, and they are involved in philanthropic work 588 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 9: and other things you do, you do need to, I think, 589 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 9: recognize the extra value giving here and why not why 590 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 9: not give New Zealanders using business a little bit of 591 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 9: a you know, consideration, very good stuff. 592 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 2: Simon Arkass and I thank you for your time today. 593 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 2: And Simon is the Wellington Chamber of Commerce a CEO. 594 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 2: And it is coming up what eight minutes to six, Andrew, 595 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 2: it's your job to report the news. By not saying 596 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 2: President Trump's name this morning, it's pathetic. He's not a criminal. 597 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 2: Grow up man. 598 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 3: Thank you. 599 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 2: AJ. The reason I don't say Trump's name right now 600 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 2: is how I don't know if you've noticed this. Everybody 601 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,239 Speaker 2: says Trump's name all the time. It's not whether I 602 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 2: like dislike the man. In fact, I don't mind the 603 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 2: man at all, but the name he just he has 604 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 2: dominated the news cycle and occasionally people go, oh, here 605 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 2: we go again talking about America again. I've tried to 606 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 2: talk about New Zealand all morning long, and I'm happy 607 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 2: about that. It's coming up seven minutes to six. It's 608 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 2: news talk to he be. 609 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens on Afili edition with one roof Make your 610 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: Property Search Simple, Youth Talk Zibby. 611 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 2: Briefly, if you're a fan of Spinal Tap, you love this. 612 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 2: You may remember the mockumentary about the Hapless heavy metal group, 613 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 2: very very very funny, and it featured a six neck guitar, 614 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 2: six necks like Jimmy Page's two neck guitar which he 615 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 2: used on Sea Way to Heaven. So this was the joke. 616 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 2: This one has six necks. It's up for sale. It's 617 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 2: called the Beast. It'll be about two to three thousand quid. 618 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 2: The designer of it says it is the guitar that 619 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 2: should never have been made. You need this stuff. Mike Hoskin, good. 620 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 14: Morning to you, very good morning. Let me ask you 621 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 14: this question. If the company that's in liquidation doesn't affect 622 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 14: the flow of school lunches. 623 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 2: Yes, is it a story? 624 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 6: No? 625 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 9: Correct? 626 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 2: Because Compass has said that they're going to cover the 627 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 2: bells workers and that they're going to cover the lunches, and. 628 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 14: So why we exercised about it if it's not a pylon. 629 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 14: So you feel sorry for the company obviously, and the 630 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 14: people lose their job. 631 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 3: That's badened. 632 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 14: But but there are companies going under every day in 633 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 14: this country and we don't cover them. Why do we 634 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 14: cover this one? Because we've got a pile on going 635 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 14: with school lunches. So the school lunches still turn up. 636 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 14: And then before did you see the news last night? 637 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 14: You see TV one last night? No, they've reached a 638 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 14: new low. So they had their regional reporter filming the 639 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 14: lunches that were being loaded into the big bucket to 640 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 14: be fed to the pigs. Right, this was spag bowl. 641 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 14: You cannot you cannot make spag bowl inedible. It's impossible 642 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 14: to make spag bowl inedible. So at the same time 643 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 14: they're going the kids come to school hungry. Are they 644 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 14: really so hungry that they're unloading their lunch into a 645 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 14: bucket and took over the pigs because they can't allegedly 646 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 14: eat spag bowl? 647 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 2: I come on, the peg is what makes it symbolic? 648 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 2: Just throwing it into a rubbish bin. Might have chosen 649 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 2: a peg, they found a peg, They've driven to the peg, 650 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 2: They've got to the peg. They do this and they're 651 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 2: something there to film it. 652 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 14: And do you think that they found out about the 653 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 14: school because the school rang them up and said, hey, 654 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 14: we put it in a big bucket every day, come 655 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 14: and film. That's I mean, it's there's something not right 656 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 14: about this and it's a massive pile on and and 657 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 14: I mean, yes, the delivery is an issue and all 658 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 14: of that. I get all of that, and they've got 659 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 14: a liver it.
