1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 1: Credible, compelling, the breakfast show you can't best. It's Heather 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: Duplessy Allen on the Mike Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's Real Estate, 3 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: doing real estate differently since nineteen seventy three, News Talk, 4 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:12,960 Speaker 1: sad Be. 5 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 2: Morning and welcome to you. What do we tell you? 6 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 2: Nichola Willis would push out surplus and she's done it. 7 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 2: She's with us after seven. We've also got the big 8 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,240 Speaker 2: new ministry unveiled. Will it actually be more efficient and cheaper? 9 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 2: The New Zealand initiative? On that, Scott Dixon is in 10 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 2: with us for a chat. He's in the country to 11 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 2: open a new karting track. Karting is all, of course, 12 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 2: we're all the great start. He's after seven thirty and 13 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 2: then Politics Wednesday with Jenny and Mark for the last 14 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 2: time this year. 15 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 3: Heather Duplessy Allen. 16 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,919 Speaker 2: No surprise, Nichola Willis has pushed out surplus by another year, 17 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 2: which now makes it three years and two years. As in, 18 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 2: she has delayed surplus by three years in just the 19 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 2: space of the two years that she's been at the 20 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 2: Finance Minister's desk. Had she kept her pledge, which is 21 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 2: the one that she made up about tidying up this 22 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 2: country's books. When she was asking for our votes in 23 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, we would be seeing surplus next year. 24 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 2: Now it's twenty nine at the US earliest. Now, getting 25 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 2: our books back in order is not Beltway. It is 26 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 2: important if we don't want our kids to pack up 27 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 2: and leave for Ossie when they're old enough to. And 28 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 2: Nichola can blame everyone from Treasury to Trump if she wants, 29 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 2: but she also has not done enough to get us 30 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 2: back to surplus. There is plenty of wasteful spending that 31 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 2: could be cut if she wanted to. She has, for 32 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 2: some reason defended and kept Jacinder's wasteful policy of paying 33 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 2: for one year free for university students. It's been repeatedly 34 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 2: criticized as a flop because it doesn't actually make anyone 35 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 2: go to university. If she was brave enough to cut that, 36 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 2: it would save us in the vicinity of a billion 37 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 2: dollars over four years. She has given welfare to households 38 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 2: are more than two hundred thousand dollars a year by 39 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 2: giving them money for childcare. People on that kind of 40 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 2: coin do not need benefits. Cutting that would save a 41 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 2: billion dollars in a little over five years, she still 42 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 2: hasn't cut or income tested the winter energy payment which 43 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 2: is going to people who are still in the workforce, 44 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 2: and ja setting it aside for nice trips to Fiji. 45 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 2: Cutting that would save a billion dollars in less than 46 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 2: two years. Trimming it would save a little bit less, 47 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 2: but it would at least save something. She has one 48 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 2: thousand public servants who have been cut when Grant and 49 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 2: Jasinda actually added fourteen thousand, So still a lot there 50 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 2: be In no doubt. Yep, money is tight, Treasury's not helping, 51 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 2: Trump's not helping, But there is still a lot of 52 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 2: waste that could be cut if Nikola Willis was brave enough. 53 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 3: News of the World in ninety seconds. 54 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 2: Paul Doyle, who's the man who drove into a crowd 55 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 2: of people at the Liverpool Parade, has been sentenced to 56 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 2: twenty one and a half years in prison. The audio 57 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: footage of him and the car was also released. No, 58 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 2: it was shocking to even veterans within the police. 59 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 4: It rarely is horrific viewing to watch. You can see 60 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 4: people in front of his vehicle and Doyle has got 61 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 4: complete disregard for their safety. He continues to drive as 62 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 4: people bounce off his bonnet as people go underneath his vehicle. 63 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 2: Now, one of the major lines of inquiry into the 64 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 2: Bondi Terra attack was that the two shooters were in 65 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 2: the Philippines just a few weeks before the attack, in 66 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 2: an area that's known for Islamist violent extremism. 67 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 5: You don't get off a plane in the Philippines or 68 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 5: anywhere and simply see you to a cab driver take 69 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 5: me to a training camp. So obviously there must have 70 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 5: been some type of introduction made. There must be some 71 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 5: type of connection there. 72 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 2: Over in Europe, Vladimir Zelenski has addressed the Dutch Parliament 73 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 2: and sees Russia aren't coming to the negotiating table. 74 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 6: Russia chooses conflict or this, and Russians always say they're 75 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 6: somehow not guilty, and there's always something they claim must 76 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 6: be given up so they can stop killing. 77 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the Brits have announced more military aid. 78 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 7: Today I can confirm the UK's biggest single year investment 79 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 7: into air defense for Ukraine at six hundred million pounds 80 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 7: of thousands of their defense systems, missiles and automated turrets 81 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 7: to shoot down. 82 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 2: Drones staying in the UK, and a probe has been 83 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 2: launched into financial interference in politics after a former Reform 84 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 2: UK member was jailed for taking bribes to promote Russian interests. 85 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 1: An elected politician took bribes to parrot the lies of 86 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: a hostile state. 87 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 3: Responsible for the. 88 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 8: Death of Dawn Sturgis, a British citizen on British soil. 89 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 2: And finally, the popularity of the second Zootopia movie, Excuse Me, 90 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 2: has ushered in a disturbing trend. So the movie has 91 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 2: surpassed one billion US dollars at the box office and 92 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 2: has also become China's top grossing foreign animation film of 93 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 2: all time and one of the new popular characters introduced 94 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 2: is Gary de Snake. Now, because of that, there has 95 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 2: been a surge, especially in China, of people buying the 96 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 2: Indonesian tech tit viper, which is a highly venomous snake. 97 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 2: In fact, a report from this year found snakes makeup 98 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 2: over fifty percent of reptiles being kept as pets in China. 99 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 2: So the warnings have gone out to say, I don't know, 100 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 2: maybe don't get yourself a highly venomous snake for your 101 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 2: first snake. If you're going to get a snake, I 102 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 2: suppose that is news of the world in ninety seconds. 103 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what over in Canada's spelling has become 104 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 2: a weirdly political thing. What's been going on is Mark 105 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 2: Carnes's government has been using British spelling and official documents 106 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 2: and there have been people who've busted this, especially in 107 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 2: the budget documents of spot of what he's up to, 108 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 2: and they don't like it. And when I say British spelling, 109 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: I'm talking about things like globalization with an S instead 110 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 2: of a Z, and catalyze with an S like the 111 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 2: way that we would spell it right instead of a Z. Anyway, 112 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 2: the standard in Canada has actually been used to it 113 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 2: has been to use Canadian English, which is a hybrid 114 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 2: of but a very specific hybrid of British and American English. 115 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 2: So you use the Z this is Canadian English, use 116 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 2: the Z in catalyze. But then you use in a 117 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 2: word like color, you use the British ou, and the 118 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 2: linguists are so you got you got to get this 119 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 2: combo completely. And you never write tire with why right. 120 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 2: It's always an iri, whether whether its whether it refers 121 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 2: to you being tired or the tires you put on 122 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 2: you it's the same anyway. The linguists are so upset 123 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 2: about the severison to the government about it. They say, 124 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 2: Canadian English is recognized and widely used in Canada, and 125 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 2: if governments start to use other systems for spelling, it 126 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 2: will lead to confusion. And it is a matter of 127 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 2: our national history and identity and pride. Who knew? Thirteen 128 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:31,239 Speaker 2: past six. 129 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: The mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 130 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: by News Talks at b. 131 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: Hey the wise. The tax takes lower, takes tax take 132 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 2: lower than expected. One of the reasons has got to 133 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 2: be because of all the people who've lost their jobs 134 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 2: or left the country. Fair point sixteen past six Cali 135 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 2: Westpac chief economist is with us morning, Kelly. What do 136 00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 2: you make of that GDT auction last night? 137 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 9: Well, it's another shopper, isn't it? Really big? Full prices 138 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 9: overall four point four percent five point seven percent for 139 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 9: the milk home mill powder, which is the really important 140 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 9: driver of Fonterra's payout. It's adding up to a really 141 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 9: large fall sort of in the last three of three 142 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 9: or six months or so. This is why Fonterra has 143 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 9: been cutting a payout cut. Our own forecast as well, 144 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 9: but based off our assumptions, we'd say is probably quite 145 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 9: a bit of downside risk now to the nine dollars 146 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 9: thirty milk price forecast that we've currently got there, just 147 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 9: too much supply. 148 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 2: Now, I imagine that yesterday you would have been all 149 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 2: over the highphood. 150 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 9: Yeah, it was obviously the big one of the big 151 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 9: news of the week genup on Thursday, sort of like 152 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 9: probably slightly bigger. I mean, basically, the fiscal outlook continues 153 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 9: to deteriorate, is the underlying picture there, and you can 154 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 9: kind of see that clearly in the fact that the 155 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 9: surplus is now pushed out to two thousand, two nineteers 156 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 9: and thirty. I mean, I don't know when you're planning 157 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 9: to retire, Heather, but it's possible we may not see 158 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 9: that in our working lives. You know. Even the ober 159 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 9: gal x measure is sort of like out there as well. 160 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 9: You know, there's there's a bit less debt issuance that 161 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 9: they suggested for the next year or so, but that's 162 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 9: kind of where there was a little bit of fudge served, 163 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 9: I think, because what the government's done is decided to 164 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 9: hold a bit less in their liquidity fund than they 165 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 9: used to, so that saved them five billion dollars, which 166 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 9: allowed them to cut get in the short term. But 167 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 9: out there in the medium terms, sort of like Upter 168 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 9: twenty twenty seven, they're having to issue more debt and 169 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 9: that's because the economy is prejected to remain hearely anemic 170 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 9: about two and a half percent growth, and it's just 171 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 9: not generating the tax tape that they want to. One 172 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 9: interesting thing I took actually from the from the document 173 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 9: is they provide forecasts of the of the ocr in 174 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 9: the forecast, and it looks like Treasury expected either a 175 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 9: fifty point cup or a couple of more interest rate 176 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 9: cuts early next year because they thought the ninety day 177 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 9: rate was going to stick around two percent for years. 178 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 9: Obviously that didn't happen. When the Reserve Bank announced it, 179 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 9: it's ocerra announcement in late November. 180 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 2: And so what are you making of the inflation numbers? 181 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 9: Well, it was actually a bit stronger than we expected, 182 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 9: but it is quite violatile on a month a month basis, 183 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 9: but it does look like it's probably stronger than the 184 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 9: Reserve Bank expected in that last set of forecasts. This 185 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 9: time around, it was higher prices for holiday related categories 186 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 9: like accommodation and transportation, you know, airline fears and things 187 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 9: like that. So that's going to bump things around a bit. 188 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 9: But I guess the encouraging thing is that some of 189 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 9: the more persistent bits of the CPI, like it's a 190 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 9: continuing to run a pretty weekly books. So I think 191 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 9: we're pretty confident that the inflation rate will be set 192 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 9: to decline over the year ahead. 193 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's got to be good news, a all right, 194 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 2: give us the numbers. 195 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 10: So Dow is basically pretty flat.

So yeah, the attempt by 217 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 2: her to call the financial markets, or that statement that 218 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 2: she put out, appears to have only had an impact 219 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 2: at the margins. Asb's chief economist Nick Toughlely took a 220 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 2: look at it yesterday, said, the two year swap rate 221 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,959 Speaker 2: fell by only thirteen basis points, as in one to 222 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 2: three thirteen, So it's down to two point nine nine. 223 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 2: It had been two point five nine before Christian hawks 224 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 2: be made as whoopsie, so it's still a good four 225 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 2: basis points higher than it was, So a little bit 226 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 2: of an impact, probably not as much as she hoped. 227 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 2: Six to twenty one the. 228 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 1: Vike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by 229 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: News Talks at b. 230 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 2: Heather, you could not fund a holiday to Fiji on 231 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 2: the winter warmer payment.

Trump's post on Robert Michelle Rhiner's death is 258 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 2: still in the news. It was condemned by both sides 259 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 2: after he said their death was in part due to 260 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 2: having Trump arrangement syndrome. The Rhyiner's son has been arrested 261 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 2: for the murders, and LAPD says he was responsible. An 262 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 2: online poll on whether Trump was wrong to attack the 263 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 2: Rhiners in his posts or over forty thousand people vote 264 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 2: in eight hundred and fifty five said the tribute was wrong. 265 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 2: So considering that that went viral, Michelle Obama's response when 266 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 2: asked about their deaths on Jimmy Kimmel last night also 267 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 2: went viral. 268 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 11: We've known them for many, many years, and we were 269 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 11: supposed to be seeing them that night last night, and 270 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 11: we got the news. And let me just say this, 271 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 11: Unlike some people, Rob and Michelle Reiner are some of 272 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 11: the most decent, courageous people you ever want to know. 273 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 11: They're not deranged or praised. What they are, what they 274 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,199 Speaker 11: have always been, are passionate people. In a time when 275 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 11: there's not a lot of courage going on, they were 276 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 11: the kind of people who were ready to put their 277 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 11: actions behind what they cared about. And they cared about 278 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 11: their family, and they cared about this country, and they 279 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 11: cared about fairness and equity, and that is the truth. 280 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 2: I do know them right well. That hasn't gone down 281 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 2: well for them, though he'll probably whether it like he 282 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 2: always does here that you forgot the elephants in the room. 283 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 2: Pension age needs to go up in key we save 284 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 2: and needs to be made compulsory. Well, listen, we'll have 285 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 2: a chat to the person who can actually make all 286 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 2: of these decisions, Nikola Willis after seven o'clock. But next up, 287 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 2: got that new mega merger in the public service. So 288 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 2: let's have a chat to the New Zealand Initiative find 289 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 2: out whether they like the look of it. New stoks ev. 290 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 3: No fluff, just facts and fierce debate. 291 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: Head a Duplessy Allen on the Mic Hosking Breakfast with 292 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: a Vita, Retirement Communities, Life Your Way News togs head 293 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: b Right. 294 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 2: Richard Arnold is going to be be with us out 295 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 2: of the US shortly. Just a quick update on what's 296 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 2: going on with the EV's. I find this thing fascinating. 297 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 2: Ford is now the latest motor vehicle company that's ditched 298 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 2: its EV plans. It's announced that it's kelled off the 299 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 2: f one hundred one fifty Lightning model. That's that's the 300 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,119 Speaker 2: ute that they that was fully electric ute, the flagship 301 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 2: thing that they were doing. They completely halted production on it. 302 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 2: They are moving to doing the one fifty f one 303 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 2: fifty as a hybrid instead. This is this means the 304 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 2: company is taking a hat off something very close to 305 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 2: twenty billion US dollars. And yet again one of the 306 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 2: silly ideas that we got ourselves tied up in that 307 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 2: there was this massive market for EV's, when actually it 308 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 2: was on that massive at all. Twenty two away from 309 00:15:55,400 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 2: seven hasn't got a new mega merger in the public service, 310 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 2: the Ministries of Environment, Transport, Housing, Urban Development, and then 311 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 2: the local government functions of internal affairs will all come 312 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 2: together in the new insert, which is the Ministry of Cities, Environment, 313 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 2: Regions and Transport. Oliver Hartwich is the New Zealand Initiative 314 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 2: Executive Director and with us Morning Oliver Good and Morning 315 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 2: Heather is bringing them all together. Is the aim as 316 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 2: obviously to get them to work together. But will that 317 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 2: necessarily work? 318 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 3: We'll find out. 319 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 12: I mean, the whole things should be operational in a 320 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 12: half a year's time, so that's quite ambitious in itself. 321 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 12: I mean, to start with, I think some mergers make 322 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 12: sense because we have forty three government departments and ministries 323 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 12: in this country, which is a ridiculous number. We also 324 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 12: have eighty one ministry or portfolios, which again is a 325 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 12: totally ridiculous number. So some consolidation makes good sense. And 326 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 12: still I'm not entirely sure whether this current merger in 327 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 12: front of us actually will work. 328 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, why is Okay? Give me the reasons, because I've 329 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 2: got some of my own. But give me the reasons 330 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 2: why you think it might not work. 331 00:16:58,400 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 13: Well. 332 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 12: The first thing is timing, because the ministries in question 333 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 12: are currently super busy because we are getting through the 334 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 12: IMA reforms and that will take all of their resources. Now, 335 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 12: putting a super merger on top of that, I think 336 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 12: maybe asking too much of the ministries. But the real 337 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 12: problem I see is actually we're creating another government ministry 338 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 12: a bit like MB. MB reports to twenty one ministers 339 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 12: at at the present time. I mean in Ireland they 340 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 12: only have fifteen ministers in cabinet. We have more ministers 341 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,239 Speaker 12: reporting to MB or the other way around, quite so 342 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 12: sure than Ireland has in its entire cabinet. And it 343 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 12: will be the same with MSERT. So MSERT now unites 344 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 12: all of these various functions. That makes perhaps some good sense, 345 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 12: but in the end we will still have the same 346 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 12: ministers now in charge of individual portfolios. So it's not 347 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 12: as if MSERT will in the end report to just 348 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 12: a single minister, but there will be various ministers that 349 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 12: EMSER deals with. And I'm not sure whether that's the 350 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 12: right structure. 351 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 2: Right, So you just changing the location, but the problems continue. 352 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 2: Is it also not possible, Oliver, that you can have 353 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 2: an organization the final organization and that is so enormous 354 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 2: and so just it's just so mind blowingly big that 355 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,959 Speaker 2: it doesn't actually matter whether they're in the same building 356 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 2: or in multiple buildings, they're not going to know that. 357 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 2: It's not going to break down the silos. 358 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 12: No, and that's the problem really with MB. I mean, 359 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 12: MB is currently I don't know, six or seven thousand employees, 360 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 12: and at that stage it's of course an organization as 361 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 12: simply too big to function properly. So I think actually 362 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 12: it would be better to have a more coherent approach 363 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 12: to government consolidation. As I said, forty three government departments 364 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 12: and ministries, that's too many. We should certainly consolidate, but 365 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 12: maybe do it in a more systematic way. Consolidate them 366 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 12: all at once, then make sure that you also have 367 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 12: a principle of one minister in charge of one department 368 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 12: and not the eighty one portfolios we currently have, and 369 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 12: then you might have a solution in the end. But 370 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 12: probably also try not to do this while you're doing 371 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 12: massive reforms and in an election years, so timing wise, I'm. 372 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 14: A bit skeptical. 373 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, Oliver, thanks for Oh by the way, can I 374 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 2: just ask you really quickly we're talking to Nicolaulas after 375 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 2: seven thoughts on the surplus being pushed out yet again. 376 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 12: Not a great surprise. I mean, after the economic development 377 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 12: we've seen over the past few months, everybody was kind 378 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 12: of expecting it. But yeah, I mean we have to 379 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 12: get to surplus rather sort. 380 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 15: Of the later. 381 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. Okay, Oliver, thanks so much. Oliver Hart, 382 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 2: which the New Zealand Initiative executive director, Heather, you're great 383 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 2: at criticizing the finance minister. If you think you're think 384 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 2: good one, don't you put your hand up and have 385 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 2: a go yourself. Well, look, that's a fair point to make, 386 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 2: which is we all come and armed with the criticism, 387 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,959 Speaker 2: but can we come and armed with few of the ideas. 388 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 2: So I have got a few ideas of things that 389 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 2: she can cut and or put it to her and 390 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 2: we'll see if we get anywhere with it. Nineteen Away 391 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 2: from seven the Mic. 392 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, gow it by 393 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: News Talks. 394 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 2: Be Now, if you already don't love the postal system 395 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 2: for the voting for the local government elections, you're going 396 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 2: to love it even less after I tell you this. 397 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,360 Speaker 2: But a judge has just avoided the results of one 398 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 2: of these one of the subdivisions voting and the au 399 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 2: tart Up Oppertoy Toy Local Board elections in Auckland, because 400 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 2: the allegations are people had been nicking the posting, you know, 401 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 2: the ballots out of the letterboxes and then filling them 402 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 2: in and sending them at which happened last week.

Because they anyway, 406 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 2: we don't need the reasons for it, but good, good 407 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 2: reason to just get rid of the system altogether.

And I 515 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 2: think he's coming back for this, which is the Sir 516 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 2: Colin Giltrap Raceway, which is a world class karting facility 517 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 2: in Auckland which is being opened, and of course Scott 518 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 2: Dixon is interested in it because, like many of the 519 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 2: great races and various forms, he started in karting. So 520 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 2: he's going to be with us after half past seven 521 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 2: seven away from seven pall the. 522 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: Ins and the outs, it's the Bears with business favor 523 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: take your business productivity to the next level. 524 00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 2: Now, the last bit of housing data dump for the 525 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 2: year has continued a pretty dismal end to the year. 526 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 2: Real Estate Institute of New Zealand showed that there were 527 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 2: seven thy two hundred residential property sales in November. That's 528 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 2: a four point four percent drop compared to October, and 529 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 2: it's a five point seven percent drop compared to November 530 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 2: last year. Now, Auckland's led the way with the decline 531 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 2: in sales volume. It's down six point six percent year 532 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 2: on year, but the rest of the country wasn't much better, 533 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 2: down five point three percent. Bear in mind, sales usually 534 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 2: increase in November because the spring and summer months, of course, 535 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 2: is the peak sales time is when you want to 536 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 2: be selling your house. It's only the sixth November, sixth 537 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 2: November and thirty three years that the sales count was 538 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 2: below October's. Now, price wise, there was very little in 539 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 2: the way of movement. The house price index was up 540 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 2: just zero point one percent in November compared to October, 541 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 2: so you can basically call that a nothing that continues 542 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 2: the trend of slow growth that Treasury pointed out in 543 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 2: the highfu yesterday, and the national median house price is 544 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 2: now eight hundred and eight thousand dollars. It's seven hundred 545 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 2: and thirty thousand dollars if you take out all one's numbers, 546 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 2: which obviously always over inflate things, don't they now? BONDI. Goodness, 547 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 2: I've hardly mentioned BONDI and BONDI is just still ongoing, 548 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 2: is you know? There is so much coming out of 549 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 2: Bondai at the moment. As you'd expect, we're hearing lots 550 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 2: about more of the heroes. There was the couple you 551 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 2: would have seen this if you were watching the news 552 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 2: last night, the couple who saw the shooters and they 553 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 2: seemed to be an elderly couple, saw the shooters get 554 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 2: out of the car with the ice I flag draped 555 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 2: over the windscreen, tried to take the guns off them. 556 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 2: Ultimately were unsuccessful. They ended themselves being shot dead. Then 557 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 2: you had if you saw the photograph or the video 558 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 2: of Ahmed al Ahmed trying to disarm one of the shooters, 559 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 2: you will have seen there was another chap who follows him, 560 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 2: runs up behind him and starts throwing bricks alongside him. 561 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 2: He is also something of a hero who ended up 562 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 2: being shot dead by the shooters. And then there is 563 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 2: another one who is a police officer. Police have come 564 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 2: in for some heavy criticism, you know, running away and 565 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 2: which it doesn't appear to be true. But yeah, there's 566 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 2: a police officer who got very close to the bridge, 567 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,479 Speaker 2: took some shelter in it behind a tree and managed 568 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 2: to take out I think it was the father. There 569 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 2: was also a little bit of a truth torpedo that 570 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,640 Speaker 2: was delivered. The daughter of the eighty six year old 571 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,360 Speaker 2: who was shot and killed at Bondi was invited onto 572 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 2: ABC's Breakfast show and she was asked if she had 573 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 2: any messages for the government. 574 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 19: Is this what she wanted? Alban Easy Wong? Will you 575 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 19: listen to us? Will you actually do something? Will you 576 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 19: actually I don't have to stand up and say anything 577 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 19: because we don't believe you anyway. And ABC, I've got 578 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 19: to say, will you cut out the biased reporting mainstream media? 579 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 3: We feel we yeah, will you? 580 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 8: Will you cut it out? 581 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 19: Will you actually let us have a voice because we 582 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 19: feel that part of the reason that the Jewish people 583 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 19: have experienced such a massive change in Australia towards us, ABC, 584 00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 19: please stop with a biased reporting. 585 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 2: Well, as you can imagine, the interview didn't go on 586 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 2: much longer after she dropped that truth torpedo on them. 587 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 2: I suspect that there will be a little bit of 588 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 2: reflection that is going on in various quarters of legacy 589 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 2: media about how various things have been covered and perhaps 590 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 2: and we're going to deal with this later on in 591 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 2: the program as well, but perhaps, you know, the going 592 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 2: hard on one side and completely ignoring not that there 593 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 2: is a binary thing here, but completely ignoring some of 594 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 2: the language that's coming out of the other side and 595 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 2: just kind of waving that through because we have, as 596 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 2: legacy media decided who the goodies and baddies are here. Anyway, 597 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 2: same problem with the BBC if you've been following that. 598 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 2: We'll deal with that later on the program. We've got 599 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 2: Nichola Willis with us next though, talking through the surplus 600 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 2: sostan tune stay tuned for that news talk. 601 00:29:42,280 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: Zb asking the questions others won't Heather Duplicy Allen on 602 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: the Mic Hosking Breakfast, We're the defender, embrace the impossible 603 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: news talks. 604 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 2: There'd be morning and welcome. So, as predicted, Nichola Willis 605 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 2: has pushed out Surplus again, which makes it the third 606 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 2: year of delay in only two years of this government 607 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 2: being in office. The country's now forecast to first be 608 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 2: in the black and thirty so let's talk to the 609 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 2: finance minister, hid Nikola. 610 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 20: Good morning, Heather. 611 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 2: Just clear this up for me. Are we borrowing right 612 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 2: now as a country just to pay our interest bill 613 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 2: on the debt? 614 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 20: We are paying in part to pay the interest bill 615 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 20: on the debt, which is pretty big. It's more than 616 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 20: nine billion dollars a year, thank you labor. But as 617 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 20: we look over the next few years, around eighty percent 618 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 20: of our borrowing is for capital investments, so that's an 619 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 20: infrastructure unlike hospitals, schools and roads, so assets that we 620 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 20: will have for the future. Regardless, we need to get 621 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 20: that borrowing down, which means we need to get the 622 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 20: books back in balance, and that's what the government has 623 00:30:59,000 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 20: a plan to do. 624 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 2: So why not run a zero budget like Bill English did. 625 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 20: Because we do have pressing needs, for example, to invest 626 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 20: more in the health system to allow for a growing 627 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 20: and aging population, in the demands that people have, to 628 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 20: double the capability of our defense force, as we have 629 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 20: committed to our security partners to ensure that schools, teachers 630 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 20: and the like have a little bit more funding to 631 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 20: keep the lights on and keep doing their work. So 632 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 20: those frontline services require more funding just to stand still. 633 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 20: And we have committed as a equipment that we will 634 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 20: be delivering effective frontline services and making the funding commitments 635 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 20: needed to support that. 636 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 2: I mean he had the same pressing needs, didn't he 637 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 2: And he still managed to cut enough to run a 638 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 2: zero budget a couple of times. 639 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 20: That's right, and we are doing a similar thing to 640 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 20: him in that in order to fund all of the 641 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 20: commitments that we have made, we will need to keep 642 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 20: finding ongoing savings and reprioritization. That's been our habit over 643 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 20: our first two budgets and which collectively we've delivered forty 644 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 20: three billion dollars worth of savings. Now, of course those 645 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 20: savings have allowed us to deliver tax relief to working people, 646 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 20: but also to increase funding to a number of services, 647 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 20: doing things like increasing the number of frontline police officers. 648 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 2: Do you think that you've cut everything that you can? 649 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 2: Is all the fat gone? 650 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 13: No? 651 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 20: I think we have to be pressing for. 652 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 2: On what ongoing fat? Can you see? 653 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 15: Well? 654 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,479 Speaker 20: I still think that there's room for more efficiency in 655 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 20: the public service. I have, together with ministers, identified other 656 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 20: areas where we think, look, are we getting in our 657 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 20: value for money to the taxpayer. There like what not? Convinced, well, 658 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 20: I will be taking a number of options to cabinet. 659 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 20: I don't want to get ahead of my cabinet colleagues 660 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 20: until we've made those choices. But the way I run 661 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 20: a budget is I send letters out to my colleagues saying, 662 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 20: here's some ideas for where I think you could make 663 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 20: some savings. Come back to me with what that would 664 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 20: look like. And by the way, in a few cases, 665 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 20: here's an idea for where you might need some more before. 666 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 2: I mean is for a start, why have you not 667 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 2: cut nearly, not even a fraction really of what Jacinda 668 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 2: and Grant piled in in terms of public servants. 669 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 20: Well, we have cut both the absolute number of public 670 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 20: side how many more than by more than two thousand 671 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 20: from its peak. 672 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 2: Let me out break that down how many though exactly 673 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 2: how it's important to say how many they added? They 674 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 2: added more than fourteen thousand, and you've only. 675 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 20: Cut two That's right. Our focus has been making sure 676 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 20: that we reduce the number of people and back office roles, 677 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 20: so the numbers there have come down quite a lot 678 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 20: more dramatically, whether that's admin staff, managers, policy analysts. But 679 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 20: we have increased, for example, the number of corrections officers, 680 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 20: that is the number of people in our prisons because 681 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 20: we're locking up criminals for longer when they violently offend 682 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 20: against people. So while some of those roles have increased, 683 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 20: on the front line office has been shrunk. Pretty certificate fairy. 684 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 20: Theres more work we can do there to be. 685 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 2: Fair that when we look at these numbers that you 686 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,760 Speaker 2: talk about the front the front line does not increase 687 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,280 Speaker 2: by anything like fourteen or twelve thousand. 688 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,760 Speaker 20: Well, it didn't over the time that labor were an offer. 689 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 2: What I'm saying to you is you're fudging it slightly 690 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 2: by suggesting that you have cut really, really deep and 691 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,919 Speaker 2: then increased the front line by a lot. You haven't. 692 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 20: Actually, Well, we have cut the number of back office 693 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 20: rolls while also reducing the bill for external consultants and 694 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 20: contractors by around nine hundred million over the past couple 695 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 20: of years. For the again for context, the last National government, 696 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 20: all they did was cap the number of public servants. 697 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 20: They certainly didn't reduce it in ka terms. What about 698 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 20: what we've achieved so far? 699 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,919 Speaker 2: What about the free year of university to students, which 700 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,800 Speaker 2: which has been criticized. It's a flop, it doesn't encourage enrollment. 701 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 2: Why don't you cut that? 702 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 20: Well, we've done what we said we would in our 703 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 20: coalition agreement with New Zealand first, which was we took 704 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 20: the very ineffective first year at fees free and we 705 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 20: made it final years fees free. So you only get 706 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 20: those free fees if you actually have you. 707 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,399 Speaker 2: Asked to Winston? Have you asked Winston if he would 708 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 2: be okay with you cutting it all together? 709 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 20: I'm happy to put that question to him. 710 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 2: How have you not put that question to him? Nikola? 711 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 2: I've been asking you about this for. 712 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 20: Two years because the way the Coalition agreement works is 713 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 20: the commitments as they are in writing, is the commitments 714 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 20: as we deliver them, and so the commitment there in 715 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 20: the coalition agreement. 716 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 2: Now he wanted to move from the first to the 717 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 2: third year because having it in the first year is stupid. 718 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 2: But he might be open to cutting it all together. 719 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 2: And if you did that, you would say about a 720 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:36,720 Speaker 2: billion dollars and four years. 721 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 20: It's a question that I'm happy to put to him. 722 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,800 Speaker 2: Okay, why don't you end the national ticketing system? 723 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 15: Right? 724 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 2: Because Wellington's doing it itself. Now it's spending five point 725 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 2: five mil on it. But Laura in line to spend 726 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 2: one point four bill, why not cut it? 727 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 20: Well, I agree that that is an absolutely tormented project. 728 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 20: It's another one of the hospital passes that we have inherited. 729 00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 20: That is something that Chris Bishop, as transferd Minister, is 730 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:04,479 Speaker 20: looking very carefully at, because, like you, he can think 731 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 20: of a few better uses for more than a billion dollars, 732 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,800 Speaker 20: and so he is examining carefully whether that's suspend that 733 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 20: we should be doing. 734 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 2: Okay, have you thought about stopping the welfare that you're 735 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 2: giving to parents who are earning combined more than two 736 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars a year. 737 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 20: Well, primarily that comes through working for families, for which 738 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 20: support increases when people. 739 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 2: Have this is your family boost, right? 740 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 20: Well, no family boost is, yes, a payment that is 741 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 20: available to some people earning that amount in some circumstances, 742 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 20: if they have particularly high early childhood education. 743 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,440 Speaker 2: Why not cut it? If you're on two hundred thousand, 744 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:42,280 Speaker 2: you've got enough money. 745 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 20: Because we're actually investing around about exactly what we campaigned 746 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 20: on investing in that policy. We made a commitment to 747 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,760 Speaker 20: working parents who have very high early childhood education costs 748 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 20: that we would refund a portion of those and we're 749 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:56,840 Speaker 20: keeping that commitment. 750 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, have you thought about maybe income testing the 751 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 2: winter energy payment because there are people who are getting 752 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 2: it and using it to warm the pool. 753 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,840 Speaker 20: Well, the Prime Minister sent out a commitment card prior 754 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,880 Speaker 20: to the election and one of the commitments he made 755 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,839 Speaker 20: was not to reduce the winter winter energy payment for superinutance. 756 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 20: You'll see a theme here which is where we've made 757 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 20: commitments to the New Zealand people, we think it's important 758 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,880 Speaker 20: we keep them. And that's relevant not just for this 759 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 20: three years, it's actually relevant for the next elections. 760 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 2: Changed the change and the superlus has been pushed out 761 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 2: by three years, and maybe you need to start breaking 762 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,280 Speaker 2: some promises and not wasting so much cash. 763 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 20: And we are forecasting a return to surplus and the 764 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 20: biggest risk to that is the election of a labor 765 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:42,880 Speaker 20: government who have shown no inclination to do any ongoing 766 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,279 Speaker 20: efficiency or savings. And so what I need to do 767 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 20: is ensure that our government is keeping its commitments to 768 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 20: people that it made and its campaign pledges, while also 769 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 20: doing an absolutely consistent drive for more savings. And there 770 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 20: will be more opportunities at the next election for people 771 00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:59,880 Speaker 20: to set out their store. And I tell you this, 772 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 20: the stall of the National Party is going to be 773 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 20: far more fiscally disciplined than labor have ever dreamed of, 774 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 20: even pretending to be. 775 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,200 Speaker 2: All Right, Nichola, thank you very much for your time. 776 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 2: Have a lovely day.

No, 780 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:24,920 Speaker 2: don't do that, because Nichola is going to talk to 781 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,720 Speaker 2: Winston about cutting the money. So it'll be okay. Eighteen 782 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,760 Speaker 2: past seven. Now there may be something to the weeks 783 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 2: of allegations we've been hearing about the voter for auden Auckland. 784 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 2: A judge has avoided the results of the Puppa Toy 785 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,840 Speaker 2: Toy subdivision in the Autarda Puppatoy Toy local board elections. 786 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 2: And this is after claims that seventy nine people didn't 787 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 2: vote even though votes were cast in their name. V 788 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 2: Hausier brought the case in as the former deputy chairman 789 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 2: of that local boarding with us hi Ve well, thank you. 790 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,239 Speaker 2: So is basically what's been going on here is somebody 791 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,359 Speaker 2: or groups have been going around stealing voting papers from letterboxes. 792 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 13: What we do know is that there was groups of 793 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,720 Speaker 13: people who didn't cast a vote but showed as voting 794 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,640 Speaker 13: in the system. There was also groups of people who 795 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 13: didn't receive the voting paper, made the effort to go 796 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,880 Speaker 13: and cast a special vote, only to be told that 797 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,840 Speaker 13: they had already had already voted. 798 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 2: Now we know of seventy nine. Is the suggestion that 799 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 2: it's bigger than that. 800 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 13: Yeah, so I guess that's the postal ballot voting system. 801 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,400 Speaker 13: It was really hard to It's easy to interfere with, 802 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,360 Speaker 13: but half accountability to the numbers that we were able 803 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,360 Speaker 13: to gether is a minimum, but we weren't able to 804 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 13: ring fence on maximums. That really kind of opened up 805 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 13: pendor's box. And as the judge described it in the hearing, 806 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,760 Speaker 13: it was kind of like the tip of the iceberg. 807 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, now, v this is a pretty good argument 808 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,240 Speaker 2: for why we need to get rid of the postal 809 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 2: voting system, don't you think. 810 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 13: Yeah, the postal ballot voting system had known risks, and 811 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,880 Speaker 13: everyone knew of the risks in caase with having a 812 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 13: postal ballot voting system. Unfortunately, in Papatoito, the risks that 813 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,239 Speaker 13: we all knew of came to fuce and so it's 814 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,439 Speaker 13: a bit unseiling. But I am feeling quite relieved that 815 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,960 Speaker 13: the issues that were raised and experienced in the community 816 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 13: was brought to the forefront and the judge ultimately made 817 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 13: a ruling that I think put us in good position 818 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 13: to make some good changes about our electoral system and 819 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 13: to move away from the postal developed voting system. 820 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:36,759 Speaker 2: All right, V, thank you very much for your time. V. 821 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 2: How is here? Former deputy chairman of the Altar of 822 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,360 Speaker 2: Propatoritory Local Board hither That was better than I expect 823 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 2: the Ruth Richardson debate will be. Lindsey. That is absolutely 824 00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,239 Speaker 2: one hundred percent better than the debate is going to 825 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,280 Speaker 2: be because the debate is now not going to happen. 826 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,319 Speaker 2: Nicola Willis has won this one of them. I mean, 827 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 2: the wind goes to Nicola on this because Ruth Richardson 828 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,120 Speaker 2: has chicken out. She put out a statement yesterday pulling 829 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,239 Speaker 2: out of the debate, which I'm sorry to say makes 830 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 2: the Taxpayers Union look utterly ridiculous. In this for all 831 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,720 Speaker 2: the time that they took up in the media, calling 832 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,279 Speaker 2: out in Nicoller and challenging her to a debate and 833 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 2: saying they she said anywhere anytime, will be there anywhere anytime. 834 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:18,840 Speaker 2: Well it turns out now they're not going to be 835 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,960 Speaker 2: anywhere anytime. They're not doing anything. They are sissies now. 836 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 2: I suspect what they've done as they've realized. Yep, the 837 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,719 Speaker 2: debate wasn't going to be great for Nicola, but it 838 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 2: actually probably wasn't going to be great for them either. 839 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,400 Speaker 2: And I don't know which is worse. Fronting up to 840 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 2: the debate that you've been harping on about for all 841 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,520 Speaker 2: week or pulling out of the debate that you've been 842 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,160 Speaker 2: harping on about for all week. I would say the latter. 843 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 2: I would say, Yeah, chicken noise for them, win for Nichola. 844 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,920 Speaker 2: Seven twenty one, the. 845 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 1: Mic asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on Aheart radio, how 846 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:51,799 Speaker 1: if my news talks that'd be. 847 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,880 Speaker 2: Heather Nicola didn't thrill me? That interestpill is going to 848 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:57,799 Speaker 2: keep getting bigger. Yes it is. And I'll tell you what, 849 00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,799 Speaker 2: when you're borrowing to pay the interest bill on your 850 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 2: pre borrowing, you know you're in a little bit of trouble, 851 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,959 Speaker 2: A like quite a big lot of trouble actually seven 852 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:08,279 Speaker 2: twenty four now, David Seymour, I don't know that David 853 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 2: Seymore promising to revive the Treaty Principle's debate like he 854 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,000 Speaker 2: is at the moment at next year's election is a 855 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,520 Speaker 2: good idea for ACT at least. I don't know how 856 00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,359 Speaker 2: many voters it's going to win over because I don't 857 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,320 Speaker 2: know how many voters will believe that's going to somehow 858 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,200 Speaker 2: happen this time. I mean, what's actually changed, right, It's 859 00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 2: most likely going to be the same three parties in 860 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 2: government after the next election, which are the same three 861 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,919 Speaker 2: parties that didn't pass the Treaty Principles Build this term. 862 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 2: Chris Luxen will still most likely be the Prime Minister 863 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,279 Speaker 2: after the next election, same prime minister who killed the 864 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 2: Treaty Principles Build this term. And if David Seymour couldn't 865 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 2: get it over the line when he actually had quite 866 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,880 Speaker 2: a lot of leverage in the last lot of coalition negotiations, 867 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:46,799 Speaker 2: why would he be able to get it over the 868 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 2: line a next year set of coalition negotiations when he 869 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:53,360 Speaker 2: will presumably have diminished leverage. I think also part of 870 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 2: the problem here is that voters are over it. I 871 00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:56,600 Speaker 2: don't know about you, but I'm starting to get to 872 00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,879 Speaker 2: that point. I mean, I think some voters are less 873 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,399 Speaker 2: angry now that Willy Nanaia and not running the joint. 874 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 2: They're just going to take the wins they've already got, 875 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,920 Speaker 2: bringing back the referenda on Maori wards at council level, 876 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,600 Speaker 2: killing off the co governance in water. And I think 877 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,200 Speaker 2: that there are some voters who are just disappointed that 878 00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,960 Speaker 2: for all of the big talk from this government on 879 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:18,000 Speaker 2: the quiet, this stuff is still being waved through by 880 00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 2: the very government that David Seymour is part of co 881 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 2: governance stuff in Auckland's White Target he's waved through. Just 882 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 2: the other day we got two seats on Wellington Waters 883 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,759 Speaker 2: new governance body just waved through. Now Seymour's got a 884 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,360 Speaker 2: really big job on this if he wants voters to 885 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 2: a care again and b believe him that he's actually 886 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:41,239 Speaker 2: going to make the change unlike last time together do 887 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,520 Speaker 2: for see Allen um Heather. No government is ever going 888 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,799 Speaker 2: to deliver the cuts required because, as the polls show, 889 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,520 Speaker 2: we've got a large proportion of the population who just 890 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,480 Speaker 2: aren't smart enough to stomach the truth. Penny, I think 891 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 2: you're onto something because then you get a text like 892 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,439 Speaker 2: this morning, Heather, as a parent of a young child 893 00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:57,600 Speaker 2: in kindy, the quarterly amount that we get back is 894 00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,720 Speaker 2: so helpful. We got no tax breaks under the previous government. 895 00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,880 Speaker 2: This one helps a lot, Heather. It's more important to 896 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,239 Speaker 2: warm the pool. You get more exercise and health for 897 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,000 Speaker 2: a longer season, and that reduces pressure on the health system. 898 00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:13,520 Speaker 2: Lort you you live in a high decile part of 899 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:17,560 Speaker 2: the country, don't you, Heather? How could that question not 900 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,160 Speaker 2: be asked of Winston over the last two years? What 901 00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,799 Speaker 2: does Nicola Dilda? I don't know. I can't explain that. 902 00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:24,840 Speaker 2: I mean that seems like an obvious and easy cost 903 00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:29,520 Speaker 2: saving that would absolutely thrill center right voters. Anyway, listen 904 00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,799 Speaker 2: yesterday on the show, I said something that John Howard. Then, 905 00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:34,799 Speaker 2: when I'm not taking credit for it, I mean John 906 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,360 Speaker 2: Howard like I'm not suggesting John Howard is a secret 907 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,840 Speaker 2: listener to news Talk ZB in the early hours of 908 00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,520 Speaker 2: the morning in Australia. But John Howard has said exactly 909 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,400 Speaker 2: the same thing that I said on the show this 910 00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,960 Speaker 2: time yesterday which is that Anthony Albanezi reacting to Bondi 911 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,680 Speaker 2: by immediately tightening up the already tight gun laws is 912 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 2: quote an attempted diversion. He says the focus on guns 913 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,160 Speaker 2: should not be used as a pretext to avoid the 914 00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,880 Speaker 2: broader debate about the spread of hatred, hatred of ju 915 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,600 Speaker 2: Wish people and anti Semitism. Now, if John Howard is 916 00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,600 Speaker 2: saying that as the guy who did the first lot 917 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,520 Speaker 2: of gun tightening, gun law tightening, it counts for something. 918 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,759 Speaker 2: He's had a real crack at Albanesi over. Albanzi is 919 00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 2: under a lot of pressure. By the way, in Australia 920 00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,239 Speaker 2: on this front, it was predictable from the start of 921 00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,680 Speaker 2: this massacre. We're going to talk about that shortly. But 922 00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:20,280 Speaker 2: Scott Dixon is with us. Next. 923 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:21,280 Speaker 3: News Dogs eb. 924 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,760 Speaker 1: Tough on Power, Sharp on Insight, Heather duple c Allen 925 00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 1: on the Mike Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's Real Estate, doing 926 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,000 Speaker 1: real estate differently since nineteen seventy three. 927 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:46,319 Speaker 3: News Dogs head be Jimmy and Mark. 928 00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,640 Speaker 2: We do politics Wednesday for US after eight o'clock, but 929 00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:50,719 Speaker 2: right now at twenty three away from eight, it's a 930 00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:54,480 Speaker 2: big day of New Zealand motorsport.

But you just hang in there, Scott. 946 00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:32,279 Speaker 2: It won't belong here. 947 00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,120 Speaker 14: It's clan, it's Colin. Don't worry now, have you. 948 00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,319 Speaker 2: If you've just landed, you haven't had a chance to 949 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,040 Speaker 2: look at this track yet, have you. 950 00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 14: No. 951 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,319 Speaker 21: We got in kind of late last night and then 952 00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,359 Speaker 21: we'll head out there this morning. You know, I think 953 00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,799 Speaker 21: it's huge and obviously I've heard you know about the 954 00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,920 Speaker 21: circuit through the Cunninghams and the people that have been 955 00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,840 Speaker 21: building it and cart sport and obviously you know the 956 00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:56,440 Speaker 21: girl traps as well for many years. But it's fantastic 957 00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,960 Speaker 21: that they've been able to get this development finished and 958 00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,880 Speaker 21: it's going to be huge definitely for you know, the 959 00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:03,600 Speaker 21: young talent that we have in New Zealand, and I 960 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,560 Speaker 21: think when you look at New Zealand across many you know, 961 00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,520 Speaker 21: sporting achievements, we pack a big punch for such a 962 00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,040 Speaker 21: small country and motor racing with the heritage that we've 963 00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,320 Speaker 21: had here from you know, the early days of Bruce McLaren, 964 00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:19,480 Speaker 21: the tradition has been strong. So it's really really great 965 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,439 Speaker 21: to see, you know that everybody has finally pulled this off. 966 00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:24,640 Speaker 2: One of the lads was just saying to me earlier 967 00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:26,560 Speaker 2: in the news break that we don't actually have a 968 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,480 Speaker 2: track like this, of this, of this world class standard 969 00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:30,600 Speaker 2: in Auckland. Is that the case? 970 00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,960 Speaker 21: Yeah, I think it's you know, it to get to 971 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,280 Speaker 21: different levels, whether it's you know for if I events 972 00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,719 Speaker 21: or or you know carting or championships and things like that. 973 00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,280 Speaker 21: Most of that is held in Europe for obvious reasons 974 00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:46,480 Speaker 21: and always has been. But I think, you know, back 975 00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:48,320 Speaker 21: even if you look at you know, higher categories to 976 00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:50,400 Speaker 21: to you know, the Tasman Series and when if one 977 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,799 Speaker 21: drivers used to come down here, you know, to have 978 00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,880 Speaker 21: this kind of facility now, I think for for young carters. 979 00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,000 Speaker 21: You know, I even remember at my you know kind 980 00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:00,279 Speaker 21: of starting point eight through ten. You know, you do 981 00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:02,680 Speaker 21: trips to get to you know, world class circuits in 982 00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,719 Speaker 21: Australia and then you know, around the world. But to 983 00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:07,480 Speaker 21: finally have one here in New Zealand, I think it's 984 00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:09,439 Speaker 21: going to be a destination. And what's really cool about 985 00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:12,279 Speaker 21: Australia and New Zealand obviously being southern hemispheres, that it's 986 00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:15,239 Speaker 21: the opposite weather and things like that. So you can 987 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,560 Speaker 21: have championships where you know, you can have some amazing 988 00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,080 Speaker 21: talent from Europe and America come down and actually race 989 00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:21,759 Speaker 21: and some some great championships. 990 00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:23,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, and presumably as a result of that, we only 991 00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,680 Speaker 2: get better and better, and we're already so fantastic around 992 00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:30,840 Speaker 2: the world. Litersen tell me you, I'm fascinated by the 993 00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:32,960 Speaker 2: fact that you are still doing what you're doing at 994 00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:34,840 Speaker 2: the level that you're doing at your age. What is 995 00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:35,799 Speaker 2: it that motivates you? 996 00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:39,560 Speaker 21: I just love it, you know, I think for me, 997 00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,080 Speaker 21: you know, it's it's kind of that key we never 998 00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,560 Speaker 21: give up style as well and not you know, we're 999 00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:47,920 Speaker 21: still winning, which is which is we're in a sport 1000 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:48,239 Speaker 21: of winning. 1001 00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:49,520 Speaker 14: If you're not winning, you're going to be out. 1002 00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,719 Speaker 21: You know, to have twenty one consecutive seasons last or 1003 00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:56,160 Speaker 21: this year with at least one win, you know, I 1004 00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,839 Speaker 21: think the record was blown out maybe three or four 1005 00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,680 Speaker 21: years ago. This year we had the record for most 1006 00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,239 Speaker 21: podiums ever in IndyCar history, you know, a couple of 1007 00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,120 Speaker 21: years back that most laps led ever at the end 1008 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,840 Speaker 21: OUTUS five hundred, which that record will never never be broken, 1009 00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,200 Speaker 21: which is you know, one hundred and ten year tradition. 1010 00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,879 Speaker 14: So it's for me, it's it's the competition. 1011 00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,040 Speaker 21: You know, I love just I hate getting beat, so 1012 00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,640 Speaker 21: that's the biggest thing, and just wanting to win. Obviously 1013 00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,160 Speaker 21: this year with my teammate, had a steal a year, 1014 00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:25,520 Speaker 21: so definitely have to step it up for next year 1015 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,360 Speaker 21: to try and go after that seventh championship. 1016 00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:29,480 Speaker 14: You know, in IndyCar. But no, I just love it. 1017 00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:30,240 Speaker 14: I love racing. 1018 00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,279 Speaker 21: I've been given an opportunity by so many great you know, 1019 00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,600 Speaker 21: family members, to supporters that I had here in New 1020 00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,399 Speaker 21: Zealand that you know, including the gil Traps in PJ 1021 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,520 Speaker 21: and Craig Harrison, Kenny Smith. You know that the list 1022 00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,800 Speaker 21: goes on that that enabled me. And I want to 1023 00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:44,920 Speaker 21: make you know, I want to make it worthwhile for everybody. 1024 00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,080 Speaker 2: Is it hard on the body, I mean, what are 1025 00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:47,879 Speaker 2: you forty five? 1026 00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,680 Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, just a young young forty five. 1027 00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,760 Speaker 21: You know, I feel probably still in my early twenties 1028 00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:56,520 Speaker 21: in the mind. 1029 00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:58,880 Speaker 2: But but Scott, don't you feel it in your knees 1030 00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:02,279 Speaker 2: sometimes when you get up or diligy hip drops out. 1031 00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,560 Speaker 21: Yeah, I do a lot of those, you know kind 1032 00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:07,880 Speaker 21: of getting up and you know, those those groans. But no, 1033 00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,879 Speaker 21: you know, I've been I've been fortunate. You know, we're 1034 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,200 Speaker 21: with with injuries and you know, obviously in IndyCar too, 1035 00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,960 Speaker 21: the crashes can be pretty big. But lucky on that 1036 00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:18,840 Speaker 21: side of things. But no, I love I love training. 1037 00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,719 Speaker 21: I love the preparation, you know, I love just being 1038 00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,239 Speaker 21: prepared and I think that's really helped the longevity of 1039 00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,680 Speaker 21: my career for sure, So I do know that, you know, 1040 00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:29,040 Speaker 21: I've got far less years left than when I first started, 1041 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:30,759 Speaker 21: and I just want to make the most of it 1042 00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:32,040 Speaker 21: and I love doing what I do. 1043 00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:33,799 Speaker 2: Is there a point, like, how do you know when 1044 00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:34,400 Speaker 2: you're finished? 1045 00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,560 Speaker 21: I think I think it's you know, you probably get 1046 00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:40,920 Speaker 21: tired or you start noticing the small things kind of 1047 00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:44,160 Speaker 21: annoy you. Yeah, you know, for me, the racing is 1048 00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:46,080 Speaker 21: still what I love the most. Okay, yes we have, 1049 00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:47,880 Speaker 21: you know, a lot of other things around it. You know, 1050 00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:49,960 Speaker 21: the driving part is so small now. I think when 1051 00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:53,240 Speaker 21: you look at the whole scheme of things, and then 1052 00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:57,080 Speaker 21: if you just getting you're getting beat so often, you know, 1053 00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:58,960 Speaker 21: I think that's probably a pretty good time to hang 1054 00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,080 Speaker 21: it up. So you know, for me, even with a 1055 00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:05,160 Speaker 21: horrible season last year with so many penalties and engine 1056 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,000 Speaker 21: issues and things like that, you know, we still finished 1057 00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,560 Speaker 21: it in the championship, so you know, we we're still 1058 00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,000 Speaker 21: running strong. And for me, you know, we're still winning 1059 00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:14,200 Speaker 21: and that's the main thing. So I think you'll know, 1060 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,360 Speaker 21: you know, I think it's different for everybody, but but 1061 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:17,640 Speaker 21: I'll definitely know when it comes from. 1062 00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:19,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want you to think that I'm trying 1063 00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:21,200 Speaker 2: to sort of like get you to think about it. 1064 00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,440 Speaker 2: It's just that it's just that you are, like, it's 1065 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:28,000 Speaker 2: quite remarkable the records that you are setting. Tell me something, 1066 00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:29,760 Speaker 2: Why do you think we're so good at racing. 1067 00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:33,520 Speaker 14: I think it's somewhat of a mindset. 1068 00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:37,880 Speaker 21: But honestly, we have really good facilities, better facilities coming. 1069 00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:40,480 Speaker 21: You know, I think we're we're in a lucky portion 1070 00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:43,160 Speaker 21: even through my junior categories where I was talking about, 1071 00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:44,960 Speaker 21: you know, the Southern hemisphere where you can have a 1072 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:46,479 Speaker 21: lot of internationals that come down. 1073 00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:49,200 Speaker 14: You know, it's very rare that you have that level. 1074 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,360 Speaker 21: And you know with the Toyota series down here, you know, 1075 00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:54,680 Speaker 21: Formula Forward and you know Formula B. 1076 00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:56,160 Speaker 14: For me, you know, you still. 1077 00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:59,319 Speaker 21: Had a very very high caliber of you know, driver 1078 00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,719 Speaker 21: talent that you competed against and you could really see 1079 00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:04,960 Speaker 21: where you stood. And then I think, I don't know, 1080 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,680 Speaker 21: it's just that it's the mindset to Quis are pretty relaxed, 1081 00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:10,959 Speaker 21: but they work extremely hard. And I think that goes 1082 00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,680 Speaker 21: not just for the drivers around the world, but the 1083 00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:16,239 Speaker 21: mechanics and you know, even on the technical side and engineering. 1084 00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:18,880 Speaker 21: You know, Keyi's a really loved in the world of 1085 00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,439 Speaker 21: motor support. So you know, there's a lot of great 1086 00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:25,200 Speaker 21: attributes for that, but yeah, I don't know. We've got 1087 00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:26,319 Speaker 21: a lot of great talent down here. 1088 00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:28,280 Speaker 2: Brilliant. I'm so pleased to hear that you think that, Scott, 1089 00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:29,960 Speaker 2: and thank you so much for talking to us. Enjoy 1090 00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:32,520 Speaker 2: your day and enjoy your key. We some of that 1091 00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:37,160 Speaker 2: is Scott Dixon, indiecar champion and just honestly turning into 1092 00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,200 Speaker 2: something of a ghost, isn't he sixteen away from at. 1093 00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:44,080 Speaker 1: The Mike asking Breakers a full show podcast on iHeartRadio, 1094 00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:45,680 Speaker 1: how it by News Talks it be. 1095 00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:47,359 Speaker 20: Here. 1096 00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:51,719 Speaker 2: The Scott Dixon is an absolute legend, absolutely here the 1097 00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:53,960 Speaker 2: perhaps Ruth Richardson pulled out of that debate because she 1098 00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:56,320 Speaker 2: realizes how damaging it could be to the current government. 1099 00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,279 Speaker 2: And I doubt the Taxpayers Union would like to see 1100 00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,920 Speaker 2: Labor lead government at the next election. This is a 1101 00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:04,400 Speaker 2: thing Chris Luckxen was pulling this one last week for 1102 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:06,880 Speaker 2: the knee when he was in studio, and then Nikola 1103 00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,239 Speaker 2: did the same thing just before. No, you can't criticize us. 1104 00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,600 Speaker 2: You might get Labor what a load of bs. No, 1105 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:15,200 Speaker 2: you won't. That is not the most likely outcome of 1106 00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:17,920 Speaker 2: having a crack at the National Party. We're not all 1107 00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:19,680 Speaker 2: of a sudden going to look at Chippy and Babs 1108 00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,239 Speaker 2: Babs Edmonds and be like that looks like bet because 1109 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:24,920 Speaker 2: you haven't forgotten that was a crock when it was 1110 00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:28,360 Speaker 2: in last time. No, the most likely outcome is that 1111 00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:31,360 Speaker 2: National gets back in with ACT and New Zealand First. 1112 00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,839 Speaker 2: But if National doesn't pull it socks up and start 1113 00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:37,040 Speaker 2: running these books properly, the votes bleed out of National 1114 00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,000 Speaker 2: into ACT and New Zealand First. You're already seen that 1115 00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:40,959 Speaker 2: with New Zealand First going up in the polls. Act 1116 00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:42,719 Speaker 2: is a little bit more difficult because you know there's 1117 00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:46,520 Speaker 2: some they've been a little annoying in the last couple 1118 00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:49,479 Speaker 2: of years. But I think you're more likely to see 1119 00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,560 Speaker 2: a diminished National Party in the current setup than you 1120 00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:54,480 Speaker 2: are to see a complete switch to Labor. So I 1121 00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:57,520 Speaker 2: just just remember that when they use that line on you. Now, 1122 00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:00,560 Speaker 2: twelve away from eight, I'm getting a lot of texts 1123 00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:02,719 Speaker 2: still about where are the Greens, where's Chloe? And I 1124 00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:05,719 Speaker 2: have to say I was disappointed yesterday it was the 1125 00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,520 Speaker 2: first sitting day of Parliament and so Chloe was back 1126 00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,359 Speaker 2: at Parliament first time since the massacre, and I thought, 1127 00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,000 Speaker 2: surely the press gallery will bailor up ask her a 1128 00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:15,840 Speaker 2: few questions about whether she needs to tone down the 1129 00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:19,200 Speaker 2: anti Semitic rhetoric, because let's be clear about it, Chloe 1130 00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:21,120 Speaker 2: is the one who went out there and publicly said 1131 00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:23,319 Speaker 2: from the river to the sea blah blah blah, which 1132 00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:27,000 Speaker 2: we know is interpreted in the most radical interpretation as 1133 00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:29,799 Speaker 2: being basically, you know, Jewish people need to die. Now 1134 00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:31,800 Speaker 2: that is the most radical interpretation, but a lot of 1135 00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,400 Speaker 2: people do interpret it like that. Anyway, I thought, surely 1136 00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:38,040 Speaker 2: somebody's going to ask her no questions that are reported not. 1137 00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:40,640 Speaker 2: I can't see any reporting of Chloe being pressed on 1138 00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,440 Speaker 2: whether she will tone down the anti Semitic rhetoric as 1139 00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,400 Speaker 2: a result of what happened in BONDI I went an 1140 00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:47,399 Speaker 2: out of look on our instagram. Nothing I can see 1141 00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:50,840 Speaker 2: that's not saying anything publicly watched the entire speech in parliament. 1142 00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,319 Speaker 2: Nothing that I can see did notsis though not a 1143 00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:57,239 Speaker 2: Palestinian scarf in sight with the Green Party yesterday, which 1144 00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,560 Speaker 2: is appropriate, I would, I think so anyway, bit of 1145 00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,200 Speaker 2: disappointment on that front. However, I will make this prediction 1146 00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:05,200 Speaker 2: for you that. I don't think that those words will 1147 00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:08,680 Speaker 2: be crossing Chloe's lips anytime soon, if ever again, because 1148 00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,600 Speaker 2: I think what we learned with BONDI is actually, if 1149 00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,520 Speaker 2: you tolerate anti Semitism, right, if you keep on just 1150 00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,400 Speaker 2: ignoring it, what is coming out of people's mouths and 1151 00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:19,839 Speaker 2: the low level stuff that happens, you keep on ignoring it, 1152 00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:23,319 Speaker 2: at some stage it does become probably something like this. 1153 00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:25,640 Speaker 2: The Jews in Australia have been warning about this for 1154 00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:28,880 Speaker 2: a very long time. What is interesting to note is 1155 00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:31,800 Speaker 2: that everybody around the world seems to be going, whoop, 1156 00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:34,160 Speaker 2: we need to change course here. Do you remember the 1157 00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:37,160 Speaker 2: little blonde chap who's at Oxford University is one of 1158 00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:41,400 Speaker 2: the students. In October o, footage emerged of him and 1159 00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:44,760 Speaker 2: it went global, him shouting out Gaza, Gaza, make us proud, 1160 00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:46,759 Speaker 2: put the Zio's in the ground. Do you remember that guy? 1161 00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:49,560 Speaker 2: But basically what he was saying is like keell Jewish 1162 00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,440 Speaker 2: people right, that guy. Nothing has been done to him. 1163 00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:54,759 Speaker 2: I think Oxford suspended him, but other than that, he 1164 00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:57,319 Speaker 2: was cruising around having a good time. Even though he 1165 00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:00,520 Speaker 2: did that in October, last night cops knocked his door, 1166 00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:03,600 Speaker 2: charged him. So all of a sudden, you can see 1167 00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:07,320 Speaker 2: people have realized, Okay, can't be tolerating this, so watch 1168 00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:09,839 Speaker 2: those words will not be said and the rhetoric will 1169 00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:12,080 Speaker 2: be toned down by the Green Party in New Zealand massively. 1170 00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:16,160 Speaker 1: Ten Away from eight Heather dupericl and on the My 1171 00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:19,120 Speaker 1: Tasking Breakfast with the Defender and News Talks Dead b. 1172 00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:21,840 Speaker 2: Heather, why don't you get Chloe on your show? Alistair, 1173 00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,120 Speaker 2: I should have mentioned that we did dry but Chloe said, 1174 00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,160 Speaker 2: you know, she said no, didn't She sticks away from eight? 1175 00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:29,520 Speaker 2: Now I got a possible win for the General Practice 1176 00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:33,600 Speaker 2: Owners Association. They reckon. They've had some really big interest 1177 00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,279 Speaker 2: from GPS and setting up their own PHO primary health 1178 00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:39,000 Speaker 2: organization to take on the big private guys. Dr and 1179 00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:41,879 Speaker 2: Angus Chambers is the chair of the General Practice Owners 1180 00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:43,959 Speaker 2: Association and with us Morning Angers. 1181 00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:44,680 Speaker 15: Good Morning. 1182 00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:46,440 Speaker 2: So I was reading some we y had about one 1183 00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:49,719 Speaker 2: hundred and sixteen different GP practice is interested. Can you 1184 00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:51,200 Speaker 2: actually handle a number that big? 1185 00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,560 Speaker 15: Well, yes, I believe we can, but of course is 1186 00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:58,319 Speaker 15: an unknown because this is a brand new organization. So 1187 00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:01,280 Speaker 15: we've got a lot of ex experience within our network 1188 00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:04,560 Speaker 15: and some good people. So I believe we can achieve 1189 00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:04,959 Speaker 15: that goal. 1190 00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:08,080 Speaker 2: You would all worried that Health New Zealand won't say yes, 1191 00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:10,799 Speaker 2: or is it just a box ticking exercise. You're fill 1192 00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:12,319 Speaker 2: in the forms, you send them and they go yep, 1193 00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:13,000 Speaker 2: off you go. 1194 00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,680 Speaker 15: Yeah, Well it's a little bit more complicated that. But yes, Look, 1195 00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:19,080 Speaker 15: I do believe that they'll approve it. I mean, I 1196 00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:22,520 Speaker 15: think it's been difficult for them. They're stretched organization, they've 1197 00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:26,680 Speaker 15: got trouble making decisions sometimes. But we believe we've fulfilled 1198 00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:30,720 Speaker 15: all the requirements. But yes, there's a possibility they won't 1199 00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,040 Speaker 15: approve it. But when you see the level of interest, 1200 00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:35,720 Speaker 15: it would be I think brave to ignore that kind 1201 00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,720 Speaker 15: of pressure from the general practice community. 1202 00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:43,000 Speaker 2: What is motivating these guys to be so interested? 1203 00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:47,480 Speaker 15: Yeah, look, I think there's quite a few factors, but 1204 00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:49,920 Speaker 15: I'd like to say number one is a kind of 1205 00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:53,960 Speaker 15: a belief in our philosophies and our ability to deliver. 1206 00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:57,080 Speaker 15: So just to correct your jenper is actually not forming 1207 00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:01,640 Speaker 15: a PHR itself. That's kind of seed funded and facilitated 1208 00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:07,280 Speaker 15: the forming of an affiliate gy PHO. But look, there's 1209 00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:11,840 Speaker 15: widespread satisfaction within the general practice community and some of 1210 00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:16,280 Speaker 15: it's because PHOS have somewhat gone off their path, we believe, 1211 00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:18,600 Speaker 15: and are doing things that aren't the best for the 1212 00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:22,760 Speaker 15: general practices. And look, in amongst it all, we've had 1213 00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:27,240 Speaker 15: years of underbuding, extremely woeful workforce planning, which led to 1214 00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:30,440 Speaker 15: some crisis crises that we're all well aware of. I 1215 00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:34,000 Speaker 15: think PHOS are slightly wearing the heat from that because 1216 00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:37,000 Speaker 15: of the general difficulties in providing a great service. 1217 00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:39,120 Speaker 2: Hey, well, good luck with it, angus, and thanks for 1218 00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:42,480 Speaker 2: keeping us in the Look the Tanngers Chambers, excuse me, 1219 00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:45,320 Speaker 2: chair of the General Practice Owners Association, Lord, I should 1220 00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:46,640 Speaker 2: have asked him about that while I had him as 1221 00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:49,920 Speaker 2: a GP developed a cough overnight, I might be doing 1222 00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:52,760 Speaker 2: I think I'm dying. I've got some fantastic numbers for 1223 00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:54,960 Speaker 2: you on retail crime. By the way, this has come 1224 00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:58,560 Speaker 2: from Aura. Now Aura is Jenny loves Aura, because Jenny 1225 00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:00,560 Speaker 2: set the Aura up. Remember when you like, Oh, they 1226 00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:02,880 Speaker 2: only reason the retail crime has gone up because Aura 1227 00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:03,800 Speaker 2: is reporting all of it. 1228 00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:04,120 Speaker 3: Well. 1229 00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:07,120 Speaker 2: Aura now reckons that the National Party and the Coalition 1230 00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:09,520 Speaker 2: government's doing fantastic I'll put the words in their mouths, 1231 00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:13,240 Speaker 2: fantastic job. Because we've had a massive fall in retail 1232 00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:17,160 Speaker 2: crime that involves violence. Offenses with weapons down twelve percent, 1233 00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:20,760 Speaker 2: involving violence down six percent, retail crime involving threats down 1234 00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:24,520 Speaker 2: five percent. Good news is this buck's the trend right, 1235 00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:27,480 Speaker 2: because we've been going up to since then and Australia 1236 00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:29,560 Speaker 2: is still going up and we're going down now. One 1237 00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:31,480 Speaker 2: year doesn't make a trend. Obviously one year is not 1238 00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:34,360 Speaker 2: a pattern, but it might indicate we're doing something right, 1239 00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:37,120 Speaker 2: So you know, we'll ask you. And I noticed that 1240 00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:41,400 Speaker 2: the media reporting it today had an extensive quote from 1241 00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:43,800 Speaker 2: Mark Mitchell crowing about it, and then Ginny had been 1242 00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:46,280 Speaker 2: approached for comments and said nothing. Well, here's her chance, 1243 00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:47,560 Speaker 2: they with us next. 1244 00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:00,600 Speaker 3: Opinion edit informed under apologetic. 1245 01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:03,560 Speaker 1: If here the duplessy Allen on the mic Hosking Breakfast 1246 01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:07,600 Speaker 1: with a Vita Retirement Communities, Life Your Way news. 1247 01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:11,760 Speaker 18: Talks, he'd be Well, the family drove in for the 1248 01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:20,560 Speaker 18: holidays from three different time zones and five different steeds, 1249 01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,760 Speaker 18: and this Christmas is going to be. 1250 01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:37,840 Speaker 22: A nightmare.

This is 1254 01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:53,800 Speaker 2: Brad Paisley. The song is called Let's Cry, Here's Laugh. 1255 01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,120 Speaker 2: I mean I think I probably guess because who hasn't 1256 01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,320 Speaker 2: been at that Christmas where someone gets lit in the 1257 01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:00,720 Speaker 2: next minute.

I've 1283 01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:07,680 Speaker 24: sort of been on their journey a bit with them. 1284 01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:12,080 Speaker 24: Amazing company, great New Zealand story, great people of the 1285 01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:16,360 Speaker 24: Prime Minister, and I were at your new office last week. 1286 01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:20,360 Speaker 24: They're great partners with police and yes, really encouraging to 1287 01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:22,040 Speaker 24: see the numbers. Still a lot more to do, but 1288 01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:24,800 Speaker 24: really good to see those violent crime stats coming down. 1289 01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:27,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, guny, are you going to congratulate Mitchi's obviously doing 1290 01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:28,000 Speaker 2: some awesome work. 1291 01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:30,920 Speaker 8: Well, it's good. It is good to see. I mean 1292 01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:32,880 Speaker 8: we think, well, maybe it'd be better if they've got 1293 01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:36,040 Speaker 8: the five hundred cops. But he's doing good. It's encouraging. 1294 01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:39,480 Speaker 8: It's encouraging to see those numbers. And we saw globally 1295 01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:43,360 Speaker 8: post COVID just weird spikes of really straight up crime, 1296 01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:45,800 Speaker 8: and it's nice to see that we're actually doing better 1297 01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:49,520 Speaker 8: than Australia in this space. I think things not having 1298 01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:52,360 Speaker 8: good police in place, but also having things like facial 1299 01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:55,080 Speaker 8: recognition has really changed, so some of those technology changes 1300 01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:58,320 Speaker 8: we've seen in the past while have also I think 1301 01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:01,360 Speaker 8: helped to improve because that's deff and what retailers tell. 1302 01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:03,800 Speaker 2: Me, now, Mitch, what are we going to do about 1303 01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:05,960 Speaker 2: the government books? What are you prepared to cut out 1304 01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,040 Speaker 2: of your portfolios to save us in dollars? 1305 01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:11,760 Speaker 24: Well, we've already made big cuts. When we came into government, 1306 01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:14,200 Speaker 24: we had to go through and we made significant cuts. 1307 01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:15,560 Speaker 24: I had to do that in all of my port 1308 01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:20,080 Speaker 24: files except for emergency management, and quite simply we were 1309 01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:22,960 Speaker 24: just we cut. We had to cut back office expenditure 1310 01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:27,360 Speaker 24: and read proprioritize and take that investment onto the front line. 1311 01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:29,440 Speaker 24: And we have been doing that. But we've been said that, 1312 01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:32,600 Speaker 24: We've been very clear and Nicholas been very clear that 1313 01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:34,160 Speaker 24: we're going to make the cuts, but we're going to 1314 01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:36,439 Speaker 24: do it in a measured way so that we don't 1315 01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:38,720 Speaker 24: go into hard austerity and we don't cause more harm 1316 01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:41,080 Speaker 24: and more pain to the country than is necessary. 1317 01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:44,760 Speaker 2: And we can't carry on the way that we are 1318 01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:47,320 Speaker 2: right because we're in the red for the rest of 1319 01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:49,480 Speaker 2: the decade and we're just borrowing to actually pay for 1320 01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:50,000 Speaker 2: the borrowing. 1321 01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:53,760 Speaker 24: Now there's there's a pathway back to surplus, and we 1322 01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:56,040 Speaker 24: are committed to making sure that we're disciplined and we 1323 01:03:56,120 --> 01:03:57,800 Speaker 24: stay on that pathway back to surplus. 1324 01:03:58,200 --> 01:03:59,480 Speaker 3: And that's the most important thing. 1325 01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:01,960 Speaker 2: Jinny, are you still there? I heard a phone go beep. 1326 01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:06,320 Speaker 8: That's me sorry, that's that was someone trying to call me. 1327 01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:07,040 Speaker 3: Who was calling you? 1328 01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:07,640 Speaker 2: Was it Chippy? 1329 01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:11,480 Speaker 8: It was my son Jack Holidays going to take joy 1330 01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:13,520 Speaker 8: asking for something. It's that Jack, amzi Bee. 1331 01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:15,200 Speaker 2: So how old is Jack? 1332 01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:17,200 Speaker 8: Jack is thirteen? 1333 01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:19,320 Speaker 2: So it never it doesn't even stop at thirteen. Th 1334 01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:21,640 Speaker 2: Still it's the phone at thirteen? 1335 01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:25,200 Speaker 8: Ny, he well he has, yes, he does. 1336 01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:27,240 Speaker 2: And does he have access to the social media? 1337 01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:28,240 Speaker 10: No? 1338 01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:28,800 Speaker 8: He does not. 1339 01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:29,520 Speaker 10: He does not have. 1340 01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:30,919 Speaker 2: Is this a family rule? 1341 01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:31,160 Speaker 20: Is it? 1342 01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:34,280 Speaker 8: I just think you're too young. I don't want them 1343 01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:35,480 Speaker 8: seeing silly stuff like that. 1344 01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:37,360 Speaker 2: How hard is that for you to enforce? 1345 01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:41,680 Speaker 8: It's not easy. You have the odd fight, But I'm 1346 01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:43,240 Speaker 8: pretty strong in it. I mean, as a lot of 1347 01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:45,280 Speaker 8: page you get to say that the sort of sharp 1348 01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:47,800 Speaker 8: end of when things go wrong with with local kids 1349 01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:50,760 Speaker 8: in high schools with social media, and that really made 1350 01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,640 Speaker 8: me realize that, you know, I definitely don't want my 1351 01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:55,320 Speaker 8: kids being exposed to that. If I can help it. 1352 01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:58,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. So if the National Party gets the courage 1353 01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:00,520 Speaker 2: to actually follow that Albanese government and and the social 1354 01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:02,680 Speaker 2: media for the kids under sixteen, would you support that? 1355 01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:06,200 Speaker 8: I think it's a good measure for Pearans to do it. 1356 01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:08,480 Speaker 8: Like I think from what I've heard from Australians and 1357 01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:11,880 Speaker 8: people an it gives parents a good ability to say, hey, 1358 01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:13,760 Speaker 8: look is the rule in place, you can't have it. 1359 01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:16,880 Speaker 8: I think realistically enforcing it it's going to be a 1360 01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:17,520 Speaker 8: different story. 1361 01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:18,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, so good. 1362 01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:20,520 Speaker 8: It's a good measure, but I think to be practical 1363 01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:22,160 Speaker 8: if you really think you're going to keep all with 1364 01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:23,439 Speaker 8: sixteen year olds off social media? 1365 01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:25,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, but would they be support it? Would you guys? 1366 01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:27,480 Speaker 2: Would you guys? Because the Act is going to be 1367 01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:28,800 Speaker 2: a brat about it, so you're going to cross the 1368 01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:29,480 Speaker 2: house and help them? 1369 01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:32,880 Speaker 8: Well, that's what we're supportive of it. We think there 1370 01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:34,960 Speaker 8: needs to be more done as well, and where you 1371 01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:37,680 Speaker 8: saw the Select Committee inquiry had some really good outcomes 1372 01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:40,320 Speaker 8: in that, so we're generally supportive of it. We want 1373 01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:41,960 Speaker 8: something that's practically workable as well. 1374 01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:44,560 Speaker 2: Now, Jeannett, sorry, we got distracted by Jack. Look at 1375 01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:44,880 Speaker 2: what he did. 1376 01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:46,960 Speaker 8: So I'm really hoping it doesn't call back here. 1377 01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:51,080 Speaker 2: If there's anything like like the males of my family, 1378 01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:52,880 Speaker 2: it will just be persistent until they get you on 1379 01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:54,840 Speaker 2: the phone. What I was going to actually ask you 1380 01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:56,320 Speaker 2: is what would you be prepared to cut to save 1381 01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:57,080 Speaker 2: the government books? 1382 01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:02,160 Speaker 8: You're asking me? I think the first point is that 1383 01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:04,960 Speaker 8: Nicola made this measure up Obi gl X right to 1384 01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:07,840 Speaker 8: get them into twenty six twenty seven surplus. And even 1385 01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:10,320 Speaker 8: with the made up measure, it still won't happen until 1386 01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:13,960 Speaker 8: twenty nine thirty. So it's really problematic. The fact that 1387 01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:17,440 Speaker 8: the promise of making things better and cutting things was 1388 01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:19,880 Speaker 8: going to help, and cutting things hasn't helped. It's actually 1389 01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:22,400 Speaker 8: driven down the economy. It's lost more jobs. 1390 01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:25,800 Speaker 2: It all come on, now, the economy has been driven down. 1391 01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:29,320 Speaker 2: Adrian or who forced a recession? I mean, these guys 1392 01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:31,400 Speaker 2: are hardly cutting anything that's been more than you lot. 1393 01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:33,560 Speaker 8: I'll take you, I'll take you for a magian and 1394 01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:36,000 Speaker 8: you can see, you can see the businesses of how 1395 01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:40,640 Speaker 8: much of that was Tory though, how much my Tories 1396 01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:43,960 Speaker 8: they did the lot, No, not Tories. 1397 01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:45,000 Speaker 2: The collective, just the one. 1398 01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:48,280 Speaker 24: What were you going to say, Mitch, Well, she didn't 1399 01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:50,240 Speaker 24: answer the question when you said, what would you cut 1400 01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:52,200 Speaker 24: and she's not going to give you an answer. The 1401 01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:54,680 Speaker 24: reality is they're going to increase texas, They're going to 1402 01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:56,800 Speaker 24: borrow more, they're going to spend more, and they're going 1403 01:06:56,880 --> 01:06:59,120 Speaker 24: to put us right back in the situation that we 1404 01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:01,120 Speaker 24: inherited to you ago and that we're working hard to 1405 01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:03,320 Speaker 24: get ourselves out, well, drive ourselves out of. And just 1406 01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:07,400 Speaker 24: think back to seven plus percent interest rates, think back 1407 01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:10,000 Speaker 24: to a mess of increase and cost. 1408 01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:11,200 Speaker 3: Of living and inflation. 1409 01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:15,440 Speaker 24: You know that they're don't have to think we're tracking 1410 01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:16,120 Speaker 24: in the right direction. 1411 01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:19,640 Speaker 2: And guys, I do have to take a break. I'm 1412 01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:20,880 Speaker 2: going to get in trouble with Glenn Hang and it 1413 01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:22,440 Speaker 2: takes eight. It's fourteen past eight. 1414 01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:26,720 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on a hard 1415 01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:28,760 Speaker 1: Radio by News Talks A b. 1416 01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:32,840 Speaker 2: Right seventeen Pass Out Your Back with Politics Wednesday, Mark Mitchell, 1417 01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:35,320 Speaker 2: Ginny Anderson, Mitch, what did you think when you saw 1418 01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:38,200 Speaker 2: David Seymore say he's bringing that the treaty principals debate. 1419 01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:41,600 Speaker 24: Oh, I just I didn't pay any attention to that. 1420 01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:44,040 Speaker 24: We're not going anywhere near that as the national Party. 1421 01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:47,080 Speaker 24: So that's something he can talk about but you know, 1422 01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,240 Speaker 24: we've got no focus on that at all. We're focused 1423 01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:53,560 Speaker 24: on the economy, law and order, education and health. 1424 01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:56,800 Speaker 2: So that's changed. He's not going to get this over 1425 01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:58,480 Speaker 2: the line. You guys are not going to support this. 1426 01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:00,080 Speaker 2: He can talk about it all he likes, but to 1427 01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:01,640 Speaker 2: end up the same place it has this time. 1428 01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:04,760 Speaker 24: Yeah, we're just not speaking about that. He could talk 1429 01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:06,640 Speaker 24: about it, but no, we're not interested in it at all. 1430 01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:06,960 Speaker 20: Yeah. 1431 01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:08,720 Speaker 2: I can't imagine it's going to go anywhere. Then what 1432 01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:11,360 Speaker 2: do you make Jenny of the Taxpayer's Union chickening out 1433 01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:12,160 Speaker 2: with Nicola Willis? 1434 01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:16,600 Speaker 8: I don't know. It's an odd one, isn't it. We 1435 01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:18,840 Speaker 8: all got little packets of FUDG for Christmas from you. 1436 01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:20,720 Speaker 8: Fudg's written on it. 1437 01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:21,160 Speaker 17: Yeah. 1438 01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:24,160 Speaker 8: I think it's kind of a bit of a distraction 1439 01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:27,040 Speaker 8: really and trying to take away from the fact the 1440 01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:29,759 Speaker 8: cost of loving is really huoting so many New Zealanders 1441 01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:33,320 Speaker 8: right now. And I think that that's what hasn't changed, 1442 01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:35,599 Speaker 8: That there was a promise that things will get better 1443 01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:38,800 Speaker 8: in that space, and quite simply coming into Christmas, people 1444 01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:40,880 Speaker 8: are really feeling it. So I think it's I think 1445 01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:42,360 Speaker 8: it's just a distraction to be friends. 1446 01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:45,559 Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought it was great. I thought it was great. 1447 01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:47,360 Speaker 24: I love the way Nicola came out and said, Okay, 1448 01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:48,920 Speaker 24: you're going to run a campaign against You're going to 1449 01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:51,280 Speaker 24: challenge me in terms of what I'm doing. We'll front up, 1450 01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:56,000 Speaker 24: let's have a debate around it. So good Honor, absolutely, 1451 01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:58,240 Speaker 24: one hundred percent, So good Honor, you know, and I 1452 01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:01,240 Speaker 24: think that you know, show a bit assassin and got 1453 01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:02,680 Speaker 24: out there and called them out, and I thought that 1454 01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:05,120 Speaker 24: was great. And you know, that's that's that's that's a 1455 01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:09,000 Speaker 24: great thing about our open democracy in New Zealand that 1456 01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:09,600 Speaker 24: we can do that. 1457 01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,519 Speaker 8: I mean, not letting people vote in the selection, letting. 1458 01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:14,519 Speaker 14: People vote it used to be. 1459 01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:17,720 Speaker 24: There's a responsibility that comes with that, Ginny. And if 1460 01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:20,760 Speaker 24: people really take their vote seriously, I don't think it's 1461 01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:23,439 Speaker 24: too big or impossible to getselves organized and get themselves 1462 01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:27,400 Speaker 24: registered to vote. So we've we've we've we've let a 1463 01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:29,280 Speaker 24: lot of blood in this country for the right to vote. 1464 01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:31,719 Speaker 24: We've paid a high price for it, and we should 1465 01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:34,880 Speaker 24: actually take it seriously and put a little bit of 1466 01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:36,880 Speaker 24: effort into getting out there and getting registered a couple 1467 01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:39,120 Speaker 24: of weeks before polling day to get out and use 1468 01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:39,679 Speaker 24: your right tomorrow. 1469 01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,679 Speaker 2: Your phone has gone a bit funny, so I don't 1470 01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:42,200 Speaker 2: know if you've gone. 1471 01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:45,479 Speaker 8: I don't know why that is.

And 1495 01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:44,639 Speaker 24: and I just want to make her I just want 1496 01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:48,639 Speaker 24: to acknowledge Bryn her husband, Rayner and Aaron, her daughter 1497 01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:50,680 Speaker 24: and son both Britain and are and are in the 1498 01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:55,160 Speaker 24: police themselves.

So 1514 01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:36,680 Speaker 8: I think there's many families wo are struggling with the 1515 01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:40,439 Speaker 8: cost of living who have welcomed that change. Low Light 1516 01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:44,880 Speaker 8: for me, My goodness.

But I would probably have 1521 01:11:57,720 --> 01:11:59,320 Speaker 8: to say that it's just the cost of living that 1522 01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:02,920 Speaker 8: continues to people at Christmas, So families going into Christmas 1523 01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:05,000 Speaker 8: not being able to afford Christmas presence.

Now, 1566 01:13:57,800 --> 01:13:59,840 Speaker 2: Miriam Webster's put out its word of the year. The 1567 01:13:59,920 --> 01:14:02,320 Speaker 2: end the year, the dictionaries go out tell you what 1568 01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:03,880 Speaker 2: their word of the year is. Their word of the 1569 01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:07,200 Speaker 2: year is slop, a term used to describe low quality 1570 01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:11,519 Speaker 2: digital content. They say this is digital content usually produced 1571 01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:16,000 Speaker 2: in quantity by means of artificial intelligence. Examples such as 1572 01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:20,640 Speaker 2: absurd videos, talking cats, and AI written books. Now, this 1573 01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:23,559 Speaker 2: was also The Economist's word of the Year earlier this month, 1574 01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:25,160 Speaker 2: and I didn't mention it at the time because I 1575 01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:26,680 Speaker 2: looked at it and thought, I don't get it. Why 1576 01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:28,160 Speaker 2: is this the word of the year. And then Marine 1577 01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:31,320 Speaker 2: Webster's come out with it as well, so evidently, and 1578 01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:33,639 Speaker 2: I think part of my problem is I'm not spending 1579 01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:36,360 Speaker 2: enough time on social media, so I'm not getting served 1580 01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:38,880 Speaker 2: up the slop. But if two different dictionaries are picking 1581 01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:40,439 Speaker 2: at as the word of the year, there is obviously 1582 01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:43,080 Speaker 2: a lot of crap out there, being produced by AI. 1583 01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:45,120 Speaker 2: So if you're seeing it the Talking Cats and you're 1584 01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:47,439 Speaker 2: thinking what a load of trash, You're not alone.

He was asked about Nitin Yahoo's criticism 1592 01:15:18,280 --> 01:15:22,280 Speaker 2: of Australia, putting the blame on Albanzi and Australia for 1593 01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:24,040 Speaker 2: declaring Palestine as a state. 1594 01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:27,320 Speaker 18: Do you buy that criticism from the Israeli government? 1595 01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:33,120 Speaker 23: Look, no, I do not, and I would respectfully say 1596 01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:37,840 Speaker 23: to bibnet Yahoo please stay out of our politics. If 1597 01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:40,840 Speaker 23: you've got that kind of commentary to make, you are 1598 01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:44,200 Speaker 23: not helping. I know net Nyahoo, I know him pretty 1599 01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:47,679 Speaker 23: well actually, and look I understand where he's coming from, 1600 01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:48,720 Speaker 23: his passion. 1601 01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:49,040 Speaker 14: And so forth. 1602 01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:52,479 Speaker 23: But this is not helping and it's not right. I mean, 1603 01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:55,519 Speaker 23: as Albanizi has said, and as we all know, as 1604 01:15:55,560 --> 01:15:59,080 Speaker 23: were streeting is said in your country, the vast majority 1605 01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:03,080 Speaker 23: of countries in the world or recognize Palestine as a state. 1606 01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:08,439 Speaker 23: The vast majority, vast majority has supported to state solution. Indeed, 1607 01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:12,400 Speaker 23: and I was Prime Minister Israel emotionally supported to state solution. 1608 01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:16,840 Speaker 23: It doesn't any longer. We cannot allow these foreign wars 1609 01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:19,599 Speaker 23: and conflicts to be imported here. We are a very 1610 01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:21,679 Speaker 23: successful multicultural society. 1611 01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:24,160 Speaker 3: We need to ensure that. 1612 01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:27,160 Speaker 23: The wars in the Middle East, were wars in any 1613 01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:30,120 Speaker 23: other part of the world, are not fought out here. 1614 01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:34,719 Speaker 1: International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of mind 1615 01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:35,799 Speaker 1: for New Zealand business. 1616 01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:38,880 Speaker 2: Steve prices with us out of Australian Morning. 1617 01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:42,960 Speaker 25: Steve, you get out, Heather, I mean seriously, America Termbul. 1618 01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:46,080 Speaker 25: I mean an ex Prime minister who I will listen 1619 01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:48,840 Speaker 25: to and who does make some sense is John Howard 1620 01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:52,320 Speaker 25: who went on Sky and went down to the Memorial yesterday. 1621 01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:56,280 Speaker 25: He made the point that we have imported these foreign 1622 01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:59,760 Speaker 25: wars into Australia and we have not been strong enough 1623 01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:02,080 Speaker 25: on on deciding who comes to the country, where they 1624 01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:05,160 Speaker 25: come from. And what we saw in Bondai on Sunday. 1625 01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:08,120 Speaker 25: Heather is an example of that. I mean, Malcolm Ttermle Seriously, 1626 01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:11,880 Speaker 25: she's just keep quiet quite frankly. 1627 01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:14,280 Speaker 2: Do you think Steve, that this is going to prompt 1628 01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:16,879 Speaker 2: a change in your immigration settings? 1629 01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:22,439 Speaker 25: Not while Anthony Abneasy and Foreign Minister Penny Wong and 1630 01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:26,040 Speaker 25: Home Affairs Minister Tony Berger in chard. No, it should 1631 01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:30,360 Speaker 25: and the majority of Australians would like to see at 1632 01:17:30,439 --> 01:17:34,639 Speaker 25: least an honest debate about not only just where people 1633 01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:37,439 Speaker 25: come from, but how many. I mean, Australia at the 1634 01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:41,840 Speaker 25: moment is bursting at the seams. Pauline Hanson like or 1635 01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:45,120 Speaker 25: a low that turned up at Bondai yesterday with Barnaby Joyce, 1636 01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:48,400 Speaker 25: who new recruit. The crowd cheered, everybody wanted to. 1637 01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:48,800 Speaker 9: Talk to her. 1638 01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:51,160 Speaker 25: They were slapping her on the back, and that gives 1639 01:17:51,200 --> 01:17:53,760 Speaker 25: you some indication. I know emotions are raw there at 1640 01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:59,240 Speaker 25: the moment, but Hanson was received like a hero. On 1641 01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:02,519 Speaker 25: the op side of the coin. Tony Burke went down 1642 01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:06,599 Speaker 25: there on Monday night and he was heckled in, booed 1643 01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:09,160 Speaker 25: and told to get out of the place. So that's 1644 01:18:09,240 --> 01:18:12,000 Speaker 25: the sort of anger there is about what Canberra has 1645 01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:12,679 Speaker 25: and hasn't done. 1646 01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:15,040 Speaker 2: Do you think this is a significant, And I mean 1647 01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:18,320 Speaker 2: it's obviously extremely significant, but will it lead to massive 1648 01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:20,519 Speaker 2: shifts in the way that people are voting and the 1649 01:18:20,600 --> 01:18:23,240 Speaker 2: way that people perceive, for example, the legacy media and 1650 01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:26,400 Speaker 2: the alleged critics of the alleged bias that they have displayed. 1651 01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:31,040 Speaker 25: And I think this is one of those defining moments 1652 01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:34,720 Speaker 25: you have in the nation's history. And I think what 1653 01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:38,400 Speaker 25: occurred there on Sunday night has so many layers to 1654 01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:41,479 Speaker 25: it that I can't really understand where I should start. 1655 01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:46,400 Speaker 25: But let's start with the human cost of this. One 1656 01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:49,160 Speaker 25: of the victims, obviously, was the ten year old girl Matilda, 1657 01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:56,280 Speaker 25: and her parents spoke at that at the flower display 1658 01:18:56,360 --> 01:18:59,040 Speaker 25: there last night. Her father, Michael said he wanted the 1659 01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:01,560 Speaker 25: crowd to know that she was a beautiful person. He 1660 01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:04,400 Speaker 25: called her Matilda because it was the first of her 1661 01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:08,000 Speaker 25: his children that were born in Australia. He was from 1662 01:19:08,080 --> 01:19:10,760 Speaker 25: the Ukraine. He and his wife were Russian Jews that 1663 01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:15,000 Speaker 25: came out of Ukraine. He said, he was holding it. 1664 01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:16,640 Speaker 25: I mean, you can it brings you to tears. He 1665 01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:19,240 Speaker 25: was holding a frame picture of this beautiful ten year 1666 01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:22,120 Speaker 25: old girl. He said, we called him a Matilda because 1667 01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:24,759 Speaker 25: we think it's the most Australian name that can ever exist, 1668 01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:28,840 Speaker 25: so please just remember the name and remember her. It 1669 01:19:29,200 --> 01:19:33,280 Speaker 25: was a very emotional appearance. The mother of Matilda said 1670 01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:36,599 Speaker 25: she couldn't fathom how the monster killed her daughter, fired 1671 01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:40,360 Speaker 25: at a child running for her father. It wasn't just 1672 01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:43,560 Speaker 25: a bullet from a spray, It wasn't an accident. It 1673 01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:47,880 Speaker 25: was a bullet fired at her. I can't imagine how 1674 01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:49,960 Speaker 25: anyone could not have tears in their eyes hearing that. 1675 01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:54,719 Speaker 2: Were there enough police? 1676 01:19:54,760 --> 01:20:01,120 Speaker 25: There no And the premiere of I was Christopher Min's 1677 01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:04,519 Speaker 25: at a media conference with Anthony Albniza yesterday, tried to 1678 01:20:04,600 --> 01:20:06,519 Speaker 25: cover that up and he's now had to admit on 1679 01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:11,639 Speaker 25: skylast night that there were basically two young constables only 1680 01:20:12,280 --> 01:20:17,200 Speaker 25: armed with pistols, who were Their job that day was 1681 01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:18,599 Speaker 25: to patrol Bondi. 1682 01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:19,240 Speaker 20: That was it. 1683 01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:23,519 Speaker 25: A third police officer joined in that at some moments 1684 01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:27,080 Speaker 25: after it started, and then the whole response came. These 1685 01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:30,599 Speaker 25: two officers both shot and a friend of mine told 1686 01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:33,360 Speaker 25: me yesterday that the younger of the two had only 1687 01:20:33,400 --> 01:20:36,360 Speaker 25: been out of their police academy for four months. He's 1688 01:20:36,479 --> 01:20:39,400 Speaker 25: now in a serious and critical condition in hospital, shot 1689 01:20:39,439 --> 01:20:42,639 Speaker 25: in the head, and the clavicle and has lost his sight. 1690 01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:47,640 Speaker 25: Now this is just a response that you can't imagine 1691 01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:49,920 Speaker 25: how we could let this happen. I mean, there was 1692 01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:54,200 Speaker 25: thousands of Jewish Australians on a beach in Bondi celebrating 1693 01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:58,400 Speaker 25: Harneker and you had two only junior police officers. And 1694 01:20:58,479 --> 01:21:02,000 Speaker 25: the only reason that the father of these two terrorists 1695 01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:05,439 Speaker 25: is dead that a detective in playing clothes from Bondi 1696 01:21:05,600 --> 01:21:08,479 Speaker 25: managed to sneak up behind them. He was hiding behind 1697 01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:11,599 Speaker 25: a tree and had just think of this. These two 1698 01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:17,280 Speaker 25: guys were armed with high powered rifles, shotguns and high 1699 01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:22,000 Speaker 25: powered rifles bolt action. This detective shot dead that fifty 1700 01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:26,840 Speaker 25: year old father from forty meters with a police revolver. Now, 1701 01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:30,960 Speaker 25: anyone I've spoken to I know nothing about firearms, but 1702 01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:33,200 Speaker 25: I have spoken a couple of experts. They tell me 1703 01:21:33,640 --> 01:21:35,880 Speaker 25: that does a miracle shot. To hit someone from forty 1704 01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:39,200 Speaker 25: meters way and kill them with a police revioval was extraordinary. 1705 01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:41,040 Speaker 25: You can see the video. You can look at it. 1706 01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:43,400 Speaker 25: He creeps up behind a tree. It was just extraordinary. 1707 01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:45,240 Speaker 2: I have actually seen the video and you're quite right. 1708 01:21:45,439 --> 01:21:47,679 Speaker 2: I mean, it seems quite strange that this is happening. 1709 01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:49,560 Speaker 2: At the moment. And then the third Ashes Test is 1710 01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:51,519 Speaker 2: about to get underway in. 1711 01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:54,120 Speaker 25: Adelaide today and I mean as they should. There'll be 1712 01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:57,880 Speaker 25: minutes silence from both teams, the English and the Australian teams. 1713 01:21:58,640 --> 01:22:02,200 Speaker 25: They will both sides will wear black armbands. All the 1714 01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:05,840 Speaker 25: flags obviously will be at half mass. John Williamson will 1715 01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:09,360 Speaker 25: sing Hatred Blue for the crowd. Now, I've been at 1716 01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:11,320 Speaker 25: Adelaide over when a very good friend of mine, ex 1717 01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:14,479 Speaker 25: test cricket of David Hooks's funeral was held and the 1718 01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:17,240 Speaker 25: whole crowd were in tears. The whole crowd and there'll 1719 01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:21,280 Speaker 25: be fifty thousand plus at Adelaide today will be in 1720 01:22:21,400 --> 01:22:25,599 Speaker 25: tears when that happens at around about eleven o'clock Adelaide 1721 01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:29,400 Speaker 25: time this morning, as they should be. But this thing 1722 01:22:29,880 --> 01:22:34,080 Speaker 25: is going to reverberate around Australia for the entire summer. 1723 01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:37,160 Speaker 25: And you know this is my last chat on the 1724 01:22:37,200 --> 01:22:40,519 Speaker 25: show for the year. But I wouldn't be surprised if 1725 01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:44,400 Speaker 25: this has severely damaged the reputation of Anthony alban Easy 1726 01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:47,679 Speaker 25: and it may be his line in the sand moment. 1727 01:22:48,160 --> 01:22:51,200 Speaker 25: He may not survive this. He may end up next 1728 01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:54,160 Speaker 25: year being forced to step down. And I don't say 1729 01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:57,880 Speaker 25: that loosely, as you know, I think it's damaged to me. 1730 01:22:58,000 --> 01:22:59,120 Speaker 25: Report Steve. 1731 01:22:59,160 --> 01:23:00,800 Speaker 2: I think you're banging on this listen.

That's Steve Price out of Australia. I think 1735 01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:10,719 Speaker 2: Steve's bang on a like from the very start, because 1736 01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:13,240 Speaker 2: this has been a criticism of Anthony Albanezi, the lack 1737 01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:15,679 Speaker 2: of action on the threats to the Jews. The minute 1738 01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:17,280 Speaker 2: it happened, you knew he was in trouble. 1739 01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:21,000 Speaker 1: Quart to to her the Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show 1740 01:23:21,080 --> 01:23:24,480 Speaker 1: podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News Talks. 1741 01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:24,479 Speaker 25: At be. 1742 01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:28,120 Speaker 2: You know, I was just thinking when we were talking 1743 01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:32,080 Speaker 2: to Steve, I don't have I don't often give a 1744 01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:34,439 Speaker 2: lot of credits to Ja Sinda Ardern, but if you 1745 01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:36,519 Speaker 2: are one of those people having just watched the movie, 1746 01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:38,800 Speaker 2: if you're one of those people who still think, oh, 1747 01:23:38,880 --> 01:23:41,040 Speaker 2: anybody could have done the Mosk attacks as well as 1748 01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:42,719 Speaker 2: she did it the way that she led the country 1749 01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:44,600 Speaker 2: through it, I hope that you're watching what's going on 1750 01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:48,160 Speaker 2: in Australia and realizing that actually not anybody could have 1751 01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:50,040 Speaker 2: done it as well. We don't have a lot of 1752 01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:52,760 Speaker 2: good things to say about her during, you know, for 1753 01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:54,360 Speaker 2: the six years she's put the country through. But if 1754 01:23:54,360 --> 01:23:57,680 Speaker 2: there's one thing you can say, incredible at bringing the 1755 01:23:57,720 --> 01:24:01,040 Speaker 2: country together after March fifteen. Look Elbow's doing. It's not 1756 01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:02,560 Speaker 2: as easy to do as you might think. It is 1757 01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:04,680 Speaker 2: eleven away from nine. I meant to mention this to 1758 01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:07,720 Speaker 2: you yesterday, by the way, and I completely forgot. But 1759 01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:10,200 Speaker 2: there is another twist if you've been following the Salt 1760 01:24:10,360 --> 01:24:13,800 Speaker 2: Path drama. There's another twist in the Salt Path drama, 1761 01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:15,880 Speaker 2: the latest. This is the one, by the way, if 1762 01:24:15,880 --> 01:24:17,560 Speaker 2: you haven't watched The Salt Path, it's on one of 1763 01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:20,080 Speaker 2: the streaming might be Neon, I'm not really sure, but 1764 01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:23,360 Speaker 2: it's the one with Gillian Anderson and and what's his face? 1765 01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:26,840 Speaker 2: Her god is Willy out in White Lotus Jason Ryan. 1766 01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:27,559 Speaker 20: Was that his name? 1767 01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:30,760 Speaker 2: Something like that, Jason Isaacs. Anyway, this is one where 1768 01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:34,200 Speaker 2: Gillian's amazing the movie. The movie is based on the 1769 01:24:34,280 --> 01:24:37,160 Speaker 2: book The Salt Path. The book, we now find out, 1770 01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:40,120 Speaker 2: is completely made up. It is complete. It's been passed 1771 01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:43,960 Speaker 2: off as reality as complete fabrication anyway. The latest is 1772 01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:46,880 Speaker 2: that the author's niece reckons that the author sent a 1773 01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:49,479 Speaker 2: letter to her sister. This is the niece's mum. The 1774 01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:52,479 Speaker 2: author sent a letter to the sister admitting that she 1775 01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:55,519 Speaker 2: had stolen twenty five thousand pounds from her in laws 1776 01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:57,800 Speaker 2: after the bank threatened to take the money and take 1777 01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:00,000 Speaker 2: her home away and the niece went before the mum died. 1778 01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:02,559 Speaker 2: Mom gives the letter to the niece. Niece has got 1779 01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:04,960 Speaker 2: the letter in her hot little hands, she says. The letter, says. 1780 01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:07,400 Speaker 2: The Observer, which has been running all the stories in 1781 01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:09,640 Speaker 2: the UK on this reckons I've read the letter, and 1782 01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:12,639 Speaker 2: the letter says, please don't look any further for the money. 1783 01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:16,280 Speaker 2: I've taken it, all of it. I have to ask 1784 01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:18,519 Speaker 2: you not to take things any further with the bank, 1785 01:25:18,600 --> 01:25:20,800 Speaker 2: but tell them it was just a mistake. I have 1786 01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:22,840 Speaker 2: a police record and should this go any further, I 1787 01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:25,200 Speaker 2: will go to prison. This time, in a mid panic, 1788 01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:28,240 Speaker 2: when the mortgage was threatening to foreclose, I transferred twenty 1789 01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:31,200 Speaker 2: five pounds from Tim's mum and dad's account to Tim's. 1790 01:25:31,479 --> 01:25:33,160 Speaker 2: And then the letter goes on to explain that the 1791 01:25:33,240 --> 01:25:35,799 Speaker 2: elderly couple were left with hardly any money as a resultant, 1792 01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:38,120 Speaker 2: so they had to stay in a barn conversion on 1793 01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:40,559 Speaker 2: the property. I think over winter. I'm she's not sure 1794 01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:42,680 Speaker 2: about overwinter. I might have made that up just to 1795 01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:45,240 Speaker 2: make the story in my own head more dramatic. Anyway, 1796 01:25:46,120 --> 01:25:49,120 Speaker 2: Rayna Wynn, who is the author real name, Sally Walker, 1797 01:25:49,400 --> 01:25:52,759 Speaker 2: denies it, but then again she denies everything. But then again, 1798 01:25:53,040 --> 01:25:54,680 Speaker 2: maybe it runs in the family and they all just 1799 01:25:54,760 --> 01:25:56,599 Speaker 2: make things up. Who knows?

I spoke to Rod 1823 01:27:08,520 --> 01:27:10,920 Speaker 2: Little about this yesterday and he was pretty excited about it. 1824 01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:13,360 Speaker 2: This was the impending speech from the new MI six boss, 1825 01:27:13,560 --> 01:27:15,240 Speaker 2: so you don't get a lot of these things from 1826 01:27:15,400 --> 01:27:18,000 Speaker 2: Mi six bosses. And she didn't disappoint I mean, like, 1827 01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:20,439 Speaker 2: I literally have no idea what she said, but she 1828 01:27:20,560 --> 01:27:22,880 Speaker 2: fronted up for the camera wearing a massive brooch in 1829 01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:24,880 Speaker 2: the shape of a bee. Now, if you like your 1830 01:27:24,920 --> 01:27:26,960 Speaker 2: James Bond, and you know you're James Bond, you'll know 1831 01:27:27,520 --> 01:27:30,680 Speaker 2: that's probably a cheeky reference to Moneypenny, who loved a 1832 01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:33,840 Speaker 2: brooch in the shape of the bee. Five away from. 1833 01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:38,599 Speaker 1: Nine trending now with the MS Warehouse the Real House 1834 01:27:38,640 --> 01:27:39,400 Speaker 1: of Fragrances. 1835 01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:41,599 Speaker 2: So well, Trump he was offered a chance to, perhaps 1836 01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:43,880 Speaker 2: I don't know, pull back on his rhetoric about Rob 1837 01:27:43,960 --> 01:27:46,719 Speaker 2: Ryner after his truth social post went off. He didn't 1838 01:27:46,720 --> 01:27:46,920 Speaker 2: do that. 1839 01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:47,320 Speaker 8: Well. 1840 01:27:47,360 --> 01:27:49,280 Speaker 17: I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was 1841 01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:52,439 Speaker 17: a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned. He 1842 01:27:52,520 --> 01:27:56,360 Speaker 17: said he knew it was false facts to the exact 1843 01:27:56,400 --> 01:28:00,639 Speaker 17: opposite that I was a friend of Russia, control by Russia. 1844 01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:02,320 Speaker 3: You know, it was the Russia hoax. He was one 1845 01:28:02,360 --> 01:28:03,840 Speaker 3: of the people behind it. 1846 01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:07,599 Speaker 17: I think he heard himself in career wise, he became 1847 01:28:07,720 --> 01:28:10,960 Speaker 17: like a deranged person Trump derangement syndrome. 1848 01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:13,680 Speaker 3: So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner. 1849 01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:15,360 Speaker 17: At all, in any way, shape or for him. 1850 01:28:15,360 --> 01:28:16,880 Speaker 3: I thought he was very bad for our country. 1851 01:28:17,400 --> 01:28:21,120 Speaker 2: Wow, that guy's not read the room. I don't know 1852 01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:24,120 Speaker 2: if you've seen this, but his White House Chief of Staff, 1853 01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:27,320 Speaker 2: Susie Wilds, has given a set of interviews to Variety, 1854 01:28:27,880 --> 01:28:30,160 Speaker 2: and Variety's gone public with them and in them she 1855 01:28:30,320 --> 01:28:33,840 Speaker 2: describes Donald Trump as having an alcoholics personality. Now, she 1856 01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:37,439 Speaker 2: has subsequently put out a statement on Twitter or something 1857 01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:40,080 Speaker 2: or other saying basically was taken out of context and 1858 01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:44,040 Speaker 2: it's been misinterpreted. She was trying to be nice about him. 1859 01:28:44,479 --> 01:28:47,240 Speaker 2: She was trying to say high functioning alcoholics, or alcoholics 1860 01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:50,640 Speaker 2: in general, their personalities are exaggerated when they drink. And 1861 01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:52,320 Speaker 2: so I'm a little bit of an expert in big 1862 01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:55,600 Speaker 2: personalities because I think her dad was an alcoholic and 1863 01:28:55,920 --> 01:29:01,439 Speaker 2: he governs with a view that there's nothing he can't do, nothing, zero, nothing. Anyway, 1864 01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:04,599 Speaker 2: She's adamant that she wasn't saying anything nasty about Donald 1865 01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:05,439 Speaker 2: always that. 1866 01:29:05,439 --> 01:29:06,040 Speaker 14: As a compliment. 1867 01:29:06,120 --> 01:29:08,639 Speaker 5: When people say that I'm making like an alcoholic, yep, 1868 01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:10,520 Speaker 5: I think I always thanks. 1869 01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:14,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, because because alcoholic equals fun, right, fun, fun, crazy, unpredictable, 1870 01:29:15,400 --> 01:29:18,920 Speaker 2: everybody loves you anyway, that if you if you listen 1871 01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:22,840 Speaker 2: to the insides, you know that what that what gets 1872 01:29:22,920 --> 01:29:26,280 Speaker 2: reported from within what is going on in Washington. Susie 1873 01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:30,040 Speaker 2: may have in fact been sidelined somewhat, So read into 1874 01:29:30,120 --> 01:29:32,280 Speaker 2: it what you will. Maybe she didn't mean it, Maybe 1875 01:29:32,360 --> 01:29:34,759 Speaker 2: she didn't mean it. Maybe being an alcoholic as a compliment. 1876 01:29:34,840 --> 01:29:38,080 Speaker 2: Who knows anyway, we will see you tomorrow.
