1 00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: The only drive show you can trust to ask the questions, 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,560 Speaker 1: get the answers by the facts and give the analysis. 3 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: Heather Duplessy Alan Drive with One New Zealand. Let's get 4 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: connected and news talk as they'd be. 5 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 2: Hey, good afternoon, welcome to the show. Coming up today. 6 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 2: The government is still tidying up the building industry. Now 7 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 2: it's going to allow trusted builders to basically inspect their 8 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 2: own work. So we'll speak to the Minister Chris penkarfter five. 9 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 2: The cops have reopened the Arthur Eastern murder case from 10 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 2: the nineteen eighties. Then our alpha in quite a big reward. 11 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 2: And we're also going to go to Jack taym at 12 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 2: a Trump rally and Georgia in about an hour's time. 13 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 3: Heather dupless L. 14 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, so on that. We're now down to the last 15 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 2: week of the US election campaign, and I would expect 16 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 2: embrace yourself because the election coverage will ramp up, like 17 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 2: really ramp up from here. It's gonna be pretty full 18 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 2: on over the next week. It already has started. And 19 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 2: actually I was particularly interested today in some of that, 20 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 2: in particular Simon Wilson's take in The Herald on this 21 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 2: where he basically skewered John Key former Prime Minister John 22 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 2: Keith endorsing Donald Trump. I mean, endorsing is a strong word, 23 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: is I think that's what John Key was doing. And 24 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 2: you might remember the interview was an interview kind of 25 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: at the start of this month with Samantha Hayes for 26 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,639 Speaker 2: three News, and what John Key said was that Donald 27 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 2: Trump would be good for the US selection not particularly 28 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 2: good for New Zealand because of his foreign policy and 29 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 2: the tariffs and worker and the isolation is and blah 30 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 2: blah blah, all that kind of stuff, but on balance, 31 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 2: good for the US economy. Now, I don't know that 32 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: that's an endorsement, is it. I mean that felt to 33 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 2: me just like an assessment in his opinion of the fact. 34 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 2: So I would share John Key's view that Donald Trump, 35 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 2: on balance is going to be good for the US economy. 36 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 2: I'm not telling people in the States to vote for 37 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 2: him that would be an endorsement anyway, whatever, So you 38 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 2: can read into it what you want. I mean, that's 39 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 2: cut to the heart of what Simon was doing in 40 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 2: his column, right. He was criticizing John Key basically for, 41 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 2: in his words, sproking a tyrant. Now, this is an 42 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 2: interesting thing. I don't think this kind of criticism well, 43 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 2: first of all, give you some context, right, you'll have 44 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 2: heard this stuff before. This kind of criticism of someone 45 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 2: who expresses a a favorable opinion of the baddie an 46 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 2: election in politics is not new. I mean, you cast 47 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 2: your mind back to Todd Muller, who was back then 48 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 2: the leader of the National Party. The biggest scandal that 49 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 2: he faced while he was in the leadership was that 50 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 2: he had Maga hats on display. Because you know, Donald 51 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 2: Trump is the baddie. But this is the interesting thing. 52 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 2: I don't think it matters as much to have a 53 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 2: crack at somebody for something like this anymore. I think 54 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 2: it's lost its punch this time around, doesn't carry the 55 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 2: weight it did back in twenty sixteen. Part of the reason, 56 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 2: I think is that moral criticism for choosing the wrong 57 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 2: side has been completely overused in the last ten years 58 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 2: or so, and anything that's overused eventually wears thin and 59 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 2: loses its power. But also I think it's because it's 60 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: not just a case of good versus bad. I mean, 61 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 2: there are other things to take into account, like the economy, 62 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 2: which is more important, and Donald Trump wins on the 63 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 2: economy apparently, and many Americans also think the Democrats aren't 64 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 2: as good as a lot of us think, as many 65 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 2: of them think the Democrats are as are corrupt as 66 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 2: they think Republicans are corrupt. Kamala Harris is unappealing in 67 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 2: her own way. She's doing really weird things. One of 68 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 2: the craziest things I've seen her do is offer interest 69 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 2: free loans to entrepreneurs as long as they black, not 70 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 2: anybody else. I mean, set the racial politics stuff aside, 71 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 2: which I'm not into any way. It's such a gross 72 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 2: example of pork barrel politics. She has lost the blackmail vote. 73 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 2: She is chasing the black mail vote, so she is 74 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 2: prepared to give them basically free money as long as 75 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 2: they vote for her. How unashamedly transactional is that, anyway. 76 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 2: I think that's one of the most interesting things of 77 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 2: this election campaign in the US, the fact that Donald 78 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 2: Trump has shown, even if he doesn't win, just through 79 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 2: his popularity at the moment, that his election in twenty 80 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 2: sixteen was not a mistake, because he's coming very close 81 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 2: to repeating at this time around, and that if people 82 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 2: feel more empowered to say out loud that he's the 83 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 2: best candidate in some respects they are doing that, and 84 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 2: also that criticizing them for it just really doesn't sting 85 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 2: as much as it did eight years ago, does it? 86 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 3: Together? Do for see it? 87 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 4: Well? 88 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 2: Welcome to away in nine two nine two is the 89 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 2: text number. Standard text fees apply Now on domestic issues, 90 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 2: it looks like you're going to get fewer mail deliveries. 91 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 2: There is a proposal to cut mail deliveries in towns 92 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 2: and cities from three times a week at the moment 93 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 2: to two times a week, and then in rural areas 94 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 2: from five to three times a week, and also to 95 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 2: cut the minimum number of post shops from eight hundred 96 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 2: and eighty right down to five hundred. Now MB's in 97 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 2: charge of this, and the guy in charge of post 98 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 2: at MB is James Hartley. Hey, James, hi, Yever, this 99 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 2: is out for consultation. But I mean this is headed 100 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 2: in only one direction, isn't it. This is going to happen, 101 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 2: isn't it. 102 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 5: We are looking forward to getting feedback from community on 103 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 5: how they use their postal service. But the reality here 104 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 5: is that we know that Kiwi's ascending a lot fewer 105 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 5: letters than they used to in two thousand and two. 106 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 5: For example, one billion letters went through the postal system. 107 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 5: It's now down to about one hundred and eighty million, 108 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 5: so that's a huge decline over that and it's continuing 109 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 5: to decline. So we think it's the right time to 110 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 5: seek some public feedback on it's the best way to 111 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 5: maintain a mail service whilst ensuring that zip posts remains 112 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 5: financially sustainable as well. 113 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 2: Do we actually need a mail service. 114 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 5: And totally. The feedback we have is that some communities 115 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 5: still very much do rely on the male service. I 116 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 5: think particularly those in rural areas, maybe the elderly as well. 117 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 5: We are seeing numbers declining in urban areas. For example, 118 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 5: the average post box gets about two legs per week. 119 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 5: In rural areas it's a tree lys per week, and 120 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 5: there's declining, but it is still important for some people, 121 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 5: and that's why we're seeking feedback on how are people 122 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 5: using the mail service? What do they want from their 123 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 5: male service? 124 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 3: Is it all? 125 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 2: I mean, if there are how many okay, how many 126 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 2: people do you reckon there are in the country who 127 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 2: say to you, yeah, yeah, we actually really need this. 128 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 2: We are in the elderly community or whatever, and we 129 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 2: have to have the mail delivered. What proportion of the 130 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 2: country do you reckon? 131 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 4: That is? 132 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 5: It's hard to judge, and that's that's kind of exactly 133 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 5: why we are seeking feedback from the community. 134 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 2: We know you reckon though, James, because I reckon, I reckon. 135 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,679 Speaker 2: You're a bit of an expert. So what do you reckon? 136 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 3: Do you? 137 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 2: How big do you think it is? 138 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 5: It's said most letterboxes will be receiving mail each week. 139 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,559 Speaker 5: We know that about ninety nine percent of the mail 140 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 5: that goes through the system is from either the businesses, 141 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 5: organizations or the government, So only about one percent of 142 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 5: letters are sent by by individual So that's pretty small, 143 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 5: and it's obviously dropping has dropped since since the advent 144 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 5: of email. We are to seek that feedback. Who is 145 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 5: still using the letters of the mail system? What do 146 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 5: they want from the mail system? 147 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 2: Why don't you guys just go hard and pull the pin, 148 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 2: like make the bold call, pull the pin and force 149 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 2: anyone who still says sends letters to use the career service. 150 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 5: So there are still one hundred and eighty million letters 151 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 5: going through the system at the moment. 152 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 2: But James, how much of that is crap? I mean, like, honestly, genuinely, 153 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 2: most of the mail that I get is like estate 154 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 2: agents who still have me on their database, sending me 155 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 2: letters that I don't want. 156 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 5: So I guess you get six second feedback. What we 157 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 5: are doing is negotiating the government's deed within their posts, 158 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 5: which sits out probably for a three to five year 159 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 5: period that I'm trying. 160 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 2: To give you an out here, James. I'm trying to say, like, 161 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 2: you know, let's do this, Let's take the hard decision, 162 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 2: let's make the people use the career and shut this 163 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 2: nonsense down. What do you reckon? 164 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 5: I reckon? I'm keen to hear from the public about 165 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 5: what their expectations are, and especially those in raw communities 166 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 5: and the elderly as well. How are people still using 167 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 5: the male system? Maybe maybe the years to come might 168 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 5: be a broader conversation around around mail. 169 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 2: But mate, it's not far away, though, is it, James? 170 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 2: Like I reckon, like one hundred percent of my life 171 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 2: done in your life, dom, I reckon, in the next 172 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 2: ten years, we're going to shut this down, don't you reckon? 173 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 5: Hard to say. If it's ten years, what do you reckon? 174 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 6: Then? 175 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 5: I don't know. I honestly don't know. That's why we 176 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 5: are we are seeking this feedback from the public. How 177 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 5: are people using the male system the BO This is 178 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 5: not a uniquely new Zealand issue and we've seen postal 179 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 5: systems around the world grappling with this issue. So you 180 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 5: know that in Australia, for example, de Us moved to 181 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 5: every other business day for their deliveries as well, So 182 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 5: there's something that everyone is grappling with. The people are 183 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 5: still sending mail at the moment. 184 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 2: Listen, explain to me why is it that rural areas 185 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 2: get more deliveries in towns and cities. 186 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 5: As I said, Actually the stats are that the rural 187 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 5: areas do do get more leagus per week on average 188 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 5: than the urban and then the urban counterparts. So it 189 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 5: does appear that rural users are using the male service 190 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 5: a bit more. Again, we're Kingdom to dig into that 191 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 5: bit more. What are your expectations for the mail service? 192 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 5: Is there a differential an expectation between rural and urban areas. 193 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, very interesting, James, listen, thank you very much, really 194 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 2: appreciate it.

I enjoyed it. 207 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 7: But I was invited to a barbecue from some old friends. 208 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 7: So I took my daughter up to the barbecue and 209 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 7: she played with all of her friends who go to 210 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,839 Speaker 7: the same high school, and we sat around enjoyed company. 211 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 7: I have two beers so I could drive home and 212 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 7: then I drive home and turn the sport back on again. 213 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, straight back. Did you watch Liam Lawson? Did 214 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 2: you see him? 215 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 7: I watched everything. I couldn't help myself. Yeah, yeah, I 216 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 7: was quite surprised by that. I didn't from what I 217 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 7: know of Liam Lawson strike me as something he generally. 218 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 2: Normally seems like a very chill do here. 219 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 7: I think what you've got is a situation when he 220 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 7: gets on the race track, it's that white line fever. 221 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 7: He is a very aggressive race and we've seen that 222 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 7: from his early days and he's running much smaller categories 223 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 7: that when he's out there, he will not take a 224 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 7: backward step. He's not dangerous, he's not nasty. In fact, 225 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 7: in that Formula One race, there were times you had 226 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 7: to get out of the way of other people because 227 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 7: he wasn't racing them, so he moved away and let 228 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 7: him carry on. He's not stupid. But when it comes 229 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 7: to a Yuki Snowder and poor old Checko Sugio Perez, 230 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 7: of course he's gonna fight with them. 231 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 8: That's what you do in motor sport. You fight with him. 232 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 2: Was Perez and the wrong, you know, I. 233 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 7: Think that had a wee bit of it in both 234 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 7: in long I see, but it's so that the rules 235 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 7: now around when you can and can't pass at what 236 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 7: apex are very confusing. But I think what we've got 237 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 7: here is that we've got a guy who's on the 238 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 7: way out and he's very angry about it, and we've 239 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 7: got a guy on the way out and the way 240 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 7: in who will not take him back with him. 241 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 2: So Perez knows he's on the way out. 242 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 8: There has got too. 243 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 7: In the entire and the same car as Max Fist happened, 244 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 7: and he's not performed, and he was at home, he 245 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 7: was in Mexico. He started the race right at the 246 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,599 Speaker 7: back and then he started beyond the white line that 247 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 7: you put your front wheels on. So each he's under 248 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 7: a huge pressure. He's not responding very well at all, 249 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 7: and so there was a niggle between them like I 250 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 7: wouldn't have flipped the bird. But it doesn't matter. No, 251 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 7: how you get respect in the race track and these 252 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 7: guys saying, oh, you know, you need to respect your elders. 253 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 7: You need to No, no, no, no. How do you 254 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 7: get respect from your racing? 255 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 2: You win? 256 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 7: That's how you get respect. He's not he's not cheating. 257 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 2: Am I right to that point? Am I right in 258 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 2: thinking Perez came in last and Liam Lawson second to last? 259 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 2: Does that count against Liam Lawson because he's got to 260 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 2: prove himself. 261 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 7: No, because in qualifying out did him. And the problem 262 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,959 Speaker 7: with Liam that he's got it right. With three laps 263 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 7: to go. I think it was Colopinto. He actually hit 264 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 7: Colopento trying to turn it on and he took his 265 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 7: front wing off, so we had to go to the 266 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 7: pit lane and come back again. But up until then fantastic. 267 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 7: I think you look at what he's doing up against 268 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 7: Yuki Smoda, who's the other guy in the racing ball 269 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 7: team who's vying for that other seat. Yuki was going 270 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 7: pretty fast and qualifying, and then he put it into 271 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 7: a wall which right at the very end of qualifying, 272 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 7: which ruined his qualifying mape, then ruined Lean Lawson's qualifying mape. 273 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 7: And then the first thing that Yuki did when the 274 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 7: race started he crashed into a wall, so he ended 275 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 7: qualifying in a wall. He started the race in a war, 276 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 7: which is not He's under a lot of pressure as well, 277 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 7: and I think that Liam Lawson is responding to the pressure. 278 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 7: But we'll see how it goes to the consecutive race 279 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 7: when we're at the beautiful Interlagos coming up this weekend. 280 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 2: Brilliant Darcy, thank you very much, appreciate it.

The point 290 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 2: that all commentators have missed is that this is an 291 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 2: older man with a medical condition cancer. He may well 292 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 2: be challenged by whatever is going on under his clothing 293 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 2: at the moment. He's been so well dressed for decades, 294 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 2: and I believe she's mocking something medical.

They were all declared in the 339 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 9: appropriate way. I didn't have to declare any flights on 340 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 9: private jets owned by billionaires like Gina Ryan Hart because 341 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 9: I haven't engaged in it. 342 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 2: Oh that's okay. I didn't go flog. I didn't take 343 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 2: all the greedy stuff coming at me. Just a little 344 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 2: bit anyway, muzz on that very shortly. We'll get to 345 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 2: some of the texts on Simon Wilsome v John Key 346 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 2: headlines next. 347 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: Hard Questions, strong opinion, Heather Duper see Alan Drive with 348 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: one New Zealand. 349 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 3: Let's get connected and used talk as it'd be. 350 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 5: You know. 351 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 3: You're not. 352 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 7: I'm falling apart, ride in front of cadle very. 353 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 2: So it's going to be at us in ten minutes time. 354 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 2: Murray Olds is standing by out of Australia. Here the 355 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 2: Simon's piece in the Herald says more about him than 356 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 2: sir John Key. Here the reasonable support with John Key 357 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 2: and your commentary on Trump. The point that you've missed 358 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 2: here is that there should be no sting in having 359 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 2: an opinion, which I think is a fair point, right. 360 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 2: I mean, even if you think that he's awesome, it's okay, 361 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 2: you do you whatever. There's clearly a lot of people 362 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 2: who think is awesome, probably enough actually to tip him 363 00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 2: over the line. How weird is that is probably gonna 364 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 2: win in a week's time right now, twenty four away 365 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 2: from five. 366 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 1: It's the world wires on news talks, it'd be drive. 367 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,640 Speaker 2: The Israeli Parliament has voted to ban the United States 368 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 2: Agency for Palestinian Refugees or UNRA, from operating in Israel 369 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 2: and East Jerusalem. Now, the Israeli lawmakers say that HONRA 370 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 2: has ties to Humas and its activities should not be tolerated. 371 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 2: The US State Department has criticized the law, saying HONRA 372 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 2: is the primary humanitarian group operating in the Gaza strip. 373 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 6: They really play an irreplaceable role right now in Gaza. 374 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 6: We're there on the front lines getting humanitarian assistants to 375 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,199 Speaker 6: the people they needed. So we continue to urge the 376 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 6: government of Israel to pause the implementation of this legislation. 377 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 3: We urged him not to pass it at all. 378 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 2: Now, there's been some criticism of a joke told ed 379 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 2: of Donald Trump rally by the comedian Tony Hinchcliffe over 380 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 2: the weekend. He compared the US territory Puerto Rico to 381 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 2: an island of garbage. Is what Trump's running mate j D. 382 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:58,959 Speaker 2: Varnes had to say about the controversy. 383 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 10: Maybe maybe it's a stupid racist show, because you said 384 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 10: maybe it's not. 385 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 3: I haven't seen it. 386 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 10: I'm not going to comment on the specifics of the joke, 387 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 10: but I think that we have to stop getting so 388 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 10: offended at every little thing in the United States in America. 389 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 10: I'm just I'm so over it. 390 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 2: Well, Trump does by the way, enjoy a lot of 391 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 2: support from Latino's. Puerto Ricans can't actually vote in the election, 392 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 2: so it's not clear if this issue will actually affect 393 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 2: polling numbers. And finally, I am Trade's over rights. Contestants 394 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 2: in a Timothy shallow May look alike contest in New 395 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 2: York got a bit of a surprise when Timothy Challo 396 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 2: May himself turned up to say hi the June and 397 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 2: the Wonkasta initially showed up to the event in a mask, 398 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 2: and then he revealed himself and he crashed one of 399 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 2: the lookalike's photos. Now, being a good sport, Timothy didn't 400 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 2: actually enter the lookalike contest himself, which you would have won. 401 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 2: So twenty one year old Miles Mitchell was crowned the best. 402 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: Tim International correspondence with ends and eye insurance Peace of 403 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: Mind for New Zealand Business. 404 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 2: Murray Old Jozsie correspondents with I say, muz. 405 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 4: Hello here, they're gonna haveternoon on. 406 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,360 Speaker 2: Then what do you make of Elbow getting the upgrades? 407 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, well he's not the only one. 408 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 11: He apparently may have breached ministerial responsibilities. 409 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 4: He was he was the Transport Minister under Kevin Rudd 410 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 4: and then under then under Julia Gillard and. 411 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 11: Under Run again, and then he became the shadow Minister 412 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 11: up until twenty nineteen. 413 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 4: So he was right in that transport space. 414 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 11: And so yeah, look he did put the squeeze on 415 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 11: Allan Joyce apparently, which would be a breach of ministerial 416 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 11: guidelines and operation at the time. 417 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 4: The oppositions feasting on this, as you might expect. 418 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 11: So to the Murdoch mob over here, they're saying, oh, Albow, 419 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 11: fess up, fess up. 420 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 4: But you know, I mean they all do it. That's 421 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 4: the thing. 422 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 11: Perhaps they don't pick up the phone and dial Ala 423 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 11: Joyce directly, but you know, Peter Dutton takes flights on 424 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 11: Gina Reinhardt's plane. 425 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 4: I mean, is it a big deal? 426 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 11: Well, the opposition's desperately trying to make it a big deal, 427 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,479 Speaker 11: and Labor, of course, as you might expect, trying desperately 428 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 11: to play it down. 429 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 2: Is the problem for Elbow that he's supposed to be. 430 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 2: It's a branding problem, isn't it. I mean, we expect 431 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 2: these guys to fly fancy class, don't we. But he's 432 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 2: supposed to be the man of the people. He's the 433 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 2: labor guy. And yet he's got himself a very fancy 434 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 2: house and he's getting himself all the upgrades. Is that 435 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 2: the problem here? 436 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 4: Look part of it? I think yeah, I think you're right. 437 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 11: I mean he's made his entire political life the whole 438 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 11: narrative has been about his single mum raising him in 439 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 11: a government in government housing. And she did it tough 440 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 11: all her live as she did. And that's been the 441 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 11: alb and easy narrative. But you know when he goes 442 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 11: and buys a four and a half billion dollar house 443 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 11: and gets up the point the end of the plane, 444 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,479 Speaker 11: it just doesn't look right. Now, yes, they all do it, 445 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 11: but for Elbow, the good point you make is that 446 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 11: it just doesn't look right. 447 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 4: Does it past the pub test? We ask over here, 448 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 4: Well maybe it doesn't. 449 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe it doesn't. Speaking of which, this government has 450 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 2: said no more election bribes. Don't expect them. 451 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 11: Yeah, that's right. There's going to be two budgets, a 452 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 11: couple of mini ones. I suppose it's well, perhaps not 453 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 11: next marks. That may be a biggie because we're going 454 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 11: to go to the polls and may it looks like 455 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 11: and Jim Charmers, the Treasurer saying to people, do not 456 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 11: expect handouts because big hand I mean, all the economists 457 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 11: talk over here now is that inflation is really dropping 458 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:18,959 Speaker 11: through the floor. 459 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 4: They've had the. 460 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 11: Brakes on so long, waiting, waiting, waiting, and maybe maybe 461 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 11: the Reserve Bank has held on too long. 462 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 4: We'll know, I suppose in a month or two. We've 463 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 4: got inflation data out this week, and. 464 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 11: All the talk is that it's going to be a 465 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 11: very good number, which would lead possibly to an interest 466 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 11: rate cut early in the new year, which would feed 467 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 11: into Labour's narrative. 468 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 4: Who you know who loves your baby as we head 469 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 4: into an election? 470 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 11: Is it Old Southpus Peter Dutton or is it you know, 471 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 11: the beaming elbow? 472 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 4: So look who knows? 473 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 11: But there's no doubt in the past that Labor has 474 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 11: given handouts with energy help, with rental assistance and the like. 475 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 11: But what charmers the Jim charmers the treasure was saying, 476 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 11: do not expect it in the run up to the election. 477 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 2: Must tell me about this woman who faked her own 478 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 2: death to get the insurance money. 479 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 4: Very strange. We don't know a whole lot that this 480 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 4: happened in PERV. There's a woman. 481 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 11: She's forty three years old, and she had a gambling 482 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 11: problem apparently, and as such was the extent of the 483 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 11: problem that she's bizarrely has faked her own death and 484 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 11: then gone through all this elaborate paperwork to actually received 485 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 11: to claim and then receive seven hundred and eighteen thousand 486 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 11: dollars Australian more than a million dollars in New Zealand. 487 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 11: Now this happened in February. She claimed that she had 488 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 11: died in a car accident and broom in the Christmas 489 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 11: month of the preceding year. So she said she had died, 490 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 11: puts in the claim. The money's paid out very very quickly, 491 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 11: and she gets the Gregory peck in February. Well, it 492 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 11: didn't take long for them to put two and it 493 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 11: together and come up with five and this, you know, 494 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 11: as she was charged with them money by deception, plead 495 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 11: it guilty.

Like it should be an opt in, 528 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 2: not be a not not like it is like universal 529 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 2: at the moment. Anyway, we'll talk to the huddle about 530 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 2: it later on. I just can't see why I was 531 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 2: still doing the mail. Got to talk to you about 532 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 2: what's going on with Arthur Easton. Now, you remember the 533 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 2: story of Alan Hall who was jailed for like almost 534 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 2: twenty years and has now he was not the guy, 535 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 2: and it was clear he was not the guy who 536 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 2: killed Arthur Easton. The cops of now are now asking 537 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 2: for information on the murder of Arthur Easton, and they 538 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 2: are offering a one hundred thousand dollars award now that 539 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 2: Allan Hall has been found to not be the guy 540 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 2: who killed Arthur Easton. Arthur Easton was murdered in nineteen 541 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 2: eighty five, so that's forty years ago. So this feels 542 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 2: like a long shot to me, doesn't it to you? 543 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 2: We're gonna have a chat to the cop about it. 544 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 2: It'll be with us ten past five, Barri Sopers next quarter too. 545 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: Politics was centrics credit check your customers and get payments certainty. 546 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 2: Your political correspondent is with us. 547 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 8: Hey, Barry, Good afternoon, Heather. 548 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 2: What do you make of the building of these trusted 549 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 2: builders being able to certify themselves? Why are you laughing? 550 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 8: Well, because I knew you'd love the topic being a 551 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 8: builder yourself. 552 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 2: Having waited for building and SPI they kill. 553 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 8: You A yes, exactly, and I mean a lot of 554 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 8: people probably don't know. On average it takes almost five 555 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 8: hundred and seventy days to build a house in this country. 556 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 8: Ridiculous and that's basically waiting for consent. And the point 557 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 8: that Chris Pink, the Building Minister, makes is that, look, 558 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 8: there's a housing shortage at the moment. We've got to 559 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 8: get houses built. And you remember Labor went there with 560 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 8: its key we Built program and of course with these 561 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 8: consents being in place, it would have taken multiple years 562 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 8: to achieve the one hundred thousand houses. But so on 563 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 8: the face of it, it looks really good. You're going 564 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 8: to get houses built more quickly. Businesses with a proven 565 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 8: track record. According to Chris Pink, like those that build 566 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 8: hundreds of near identical homes each year, they'll be able 567 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 8: to go through a more streamline process, which is good. 568 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 8: And so builders and building professionals like plumbers, train layers, 569 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 8: they'll be able to certify their own work without the 570 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 8: need for an inspection. Now that got me thinking the 571 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 8: last time that we relax building standards in this country. 572 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 8: Clearly they have to be relaxed because you have to 573 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 8: wait far too long to get a consent. It's just 574 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 8: it's so cumbersome. But was back in nineteen ninety one 575 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 8: the Boulder government they brought in the Building Act and 576 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 8: that changed building control from a prescriptive system to a 577 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 8: more self regulated system. Now you know what happened there. 578 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 8: The builders went out modeled homes of Mediterranean style houses 579 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 8: in this climate that were totally unsuitable. And of course 580 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 8: we had so many homes that were built that were 581 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 8: leaky buildings, which was terrible and the cost has put 582 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 8: at twenty three billion dollars for eighty nine thousand buildings 583 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 8: during the period that these leaky homes were being able 584 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 8: to be built. Well, that was all changed by head 585 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,439 Speaker 8: girl Helen Clark when she became the Prime minister. I 586 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 8: mean she wanted our showers to be regulated, but she 587 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 8: changed all that and it's moved back since then to 588 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 8: a much more prescriptive system that takes so long. So 589 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,199 Speaker 8: I think any relaxation is a good thing. But the 590 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 8: devil is in the detail, I guess, and we'll have 591 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 8: to wait to see exactly how they're going to qualify 592 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 8: to build. 593 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 2: But what is good about this system is that instead 594 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 2: of when things go wrong, the council having to bear 595 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 2: the cost of that defective work because they were the 596 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 2: ones who inspected and certified and said it's okay, that 597 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 2: will now fall on these builders. Right, So if one 598 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 2: of them, one of these and they're big guys we're 599 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 2: talking about, it's not just like you know Barry Soaper's 600 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 2: construction company from down the road. It's like a god, yeah, 601 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 2: nobody will that have seen some of your handywork. But 602 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 2: I think you know it's these big, big guys. They 603 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 2: will have to pay up if they stuff up right, well, 604 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 2: insurance will pay it. 605 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 8: It would seem that there is a system and going 606 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 8: to be paid. I like that where they will be 607 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 8: held much more accountable. And if they're going to take 608 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 8: on their self certification, then they're going to be very careful, 609 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 8: I would imagine, to ensure that the building is right 610 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 8: and not leaky, like just said in the past. 611 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 2: Does Labor need to take the socials off Ginny? 612 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 8: Well, people that go on the Hosking show, the politicians 613 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 8: that they jinxed in some way because we had student 614 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 8: ash and you know look where he ended up. And 615 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 8: now we've got Ginny Anderson on the Wednesdays slot, and. 616 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 2: You would be upset about that. 617 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 8: Well, and I wouldn't compare a stude to Ginny Anderson, 618 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 8: but you know, you you remember in February this year 619 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 8: that she claimed that Mark Mitchell, the police minister and 620 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 8: she was the former former police minister, he was paid 621 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 8: to kill people and she asked him whether he kept 622 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 8: telling of how many people he had shot while it 623 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 8: was just it was so offensive, it was unbelievable. Somebody 624 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 8: would say that in public, Well she had to. Well, 625 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 8: she didn't really apologize. She said that she went too far, 626 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 8: and it would seem this is the same sort of thing. 627 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 8: I mean, you know you've got Andrew Bailey for the 628 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 8: National Party. Well, I think she's much worse than some 629 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 8: of the stuff that she's been doing. And we see 630 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 8: now she posted her reposted a meme on her Instagram account. Now, 631 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 8: I remember last week seeing this photo of Chris Luxon 632 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 8: standing alongside King Charles, and the only thing that I 633 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 8: thought was what a shabby suit the Kings turned out? 634 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 8: And then I sort of forgave him to some extent. 635 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 8: It was shabby, It was awful, It was badly fitted, 636 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 8: and I think I think maybe the poor man, because 637 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 8: he has been a terrible maybe, well you think the 638 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 8: tailors would come in and make him look a bit 639 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 8: smarter than what he did. Point that was, that was 640 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 8: the only point that I looked at the photo. 641 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:37,959 Speaker 12: It's all. 642 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 8: But others saw it his crutch area looking like female genitalia, 643 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 8: and they put out a meme to that extent, which 644 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 8: I thought was patently absurd. 645 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 4: Did she do? 646 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 8: She went and reposted the meme, then went, I'm sorry, 647 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 8: I've got to take it down. It's causing people offense. 648 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 8: I mean, please, Jinny, get your act together. 649 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 2: Perry, thank you, Perris. Strong opinions strong opinions about this 650 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 2: khaki colored suit is a khaki safari colored suit. Barry Soper, 651 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 2: Senior political correspondent seven away from five, putting. 652 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: The tough questions to the newspeakers, the mic asking breakfast. 653 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 13: The time Minister is well to say, if Kiwibank was 654 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 13: floated tomorrow, it would become a bigger bank. There'd be 655 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 13: five big banks. How does that fix anything? 656 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 12: No? 657 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 14: I just I think you know the reality is we've 658 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 14: got four cozy banks and a very cozy relationship and. 659 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 13: Stop and quean. But here's an example, an open banking, 660 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 13: for example, as something that you have.

Thirty nine 700 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 2: years after a murder, News talks EDB. 701 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 3: Pressing the newsmakers to get the real story. 702 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 1: It's hither duplicy Ellen drive with one New Zealand let's 703 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 1: get connected. 704 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 3: News talks B. 705 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 2: Afternoon. The government is continuing it's crusade to speed up 706 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 2: building in this country, now announcing that it plans to 707 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 2: let some builders only trusted builders sign off on their 708 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 2: own building work, rather than forcing them to wait for 709 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 2: a council inspection. Chris Pink is the Minister for Building 710 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 2: and Construction at Chris how do builders become trusted? 711 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 16: Well, there's a number of different criteria you can use, 712 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 16: and we're interested in scale. We're interested in reputational skin 713 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 16: in the game, and we're so interested in being able 714 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 16: to do that in a way that represents skills in 715 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:08,320 Speaker 16: frankly attract record. 716 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 2: So how many do you imagine would be trusted, would 717 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 2: be big enough to be trusted. 718 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 16: Well, we haven't put a list together because we're interested 719 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 16: in the criteria that people will feel comfortable with. But 720 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 16: you can imagine sort of ten to fifteen maybe the 721 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 16: really big players as a starting position. You know, these 722 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 16: are ones that have got enough financial strength that if 723 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 16: something were to go wrong, they can be responsible for 724 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,359 Speaker 16: the outcome on that. We're not talking about your one 725 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 16: man band, your one person band, excuse me, and aute 726 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 16: to you. You're not going to see again when they 727 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 16: change the sign writing or the name of their company. 728 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. So basically, this is the good 729 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 2: thing about it is it takes the carrying the weight 730 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 2: of the risk if something goes wrong at the moment, 731 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 2: the council pays. But we're taking that away from the 732 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 2: council with these guys, and we're making the builders themselves 733 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 2: carry the risk, right. 734 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. 735 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 16: We think it's an exercise and risk based consenting effectively 736 00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 16: where the people doing the worker are the ones who 737 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 16: should be accountable. And actually, and if you think about 738 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 16: the poral ratepayer at the end of the chain at 739 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 16: the moment when things go wrong, we think, actually it 740 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 16: makes more sense to put the incentive with the building 741 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 16: professional or the whole company to do the work and 742 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 16: to be responsible for it and their destinies in their 743 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 16: own hands, and ultimately that'll be better for the consumer. 744 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 4: Of course, who's going to. 745 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 16: Pay for a product that doesn't have all the inefficiencies 746 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,839 Speaker 16: associated with that risk averse system we've got out. 747 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 2: So obviously the problem will be paid for by the 748 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 2: insurance company. But what happens if the building company, the 749 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,279 Speaker 2: trusted building company, is under such a massive weight of 750 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 2: complaints it folds. Does insurance still pay? 751 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:37,239 Speaker 1: Yeah? 752 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,359 Speaker 16: Well, I mean that would be a matter for between 753 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,280 Speaker 16: the insurance company and the builder. 754 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 4: But having said that, we'll be. 755 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 16: Really interested to see that there's something robust in that way, 756 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 16: and also that there's financial strength associated with the building company. 757 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 16: And look, the other way you can do this other 758 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 16: than insurance is some sort of assurance more generally, and 759 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 16: so guarantees and bonds already exist in the market if 760 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 16: you think about registered master builders and certified builders. So 761 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 16: some of those market based solutions are actually going to 762 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 16: get the incentives right in a way that we don't currently. 763 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 2: All Right, you're confident we're not going to have a 764 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 2: repeat of the old leaky buildings scandal. 765 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 16: Yeah, a lot, really confident, because the point is that 766 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 16: you actually avoid that whole false sense of security we've 767 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 16: got at the moment where she'll be right because council 768 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 16: will sign it off and it dootally at least it's 769 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 16: the case. Sometimes people do some pretty poor work get 770 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 16: away with it and we don't crack down on those 771 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,400 Speaker 16: cowboys at the moment, by the way, because I think, well, 772 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 16: the council will sign off if it's all good, and 773 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,319 Speaker 16: if not then they'll just you know, we'll book another 774 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 16: inspection and do it again later. So actually we're going 775 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 16: to make people responsible, which is what they want to do, 776 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 16: because the good ones will survive and the bad ones 777 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 16: will be you know, hounded out of the world where 778 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 16: they currently inhabit. 779 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 2: Chris, thanks very much, really appreciate it.

Now you've accepted that the 805 00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,239 Speaker 2: wrong guy went behind bars, got to try and the 806 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 2: right guy.

Am I the 841 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 2: only one who thinks this up? No, No, you're not. 842 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong. By the way, there is nothing wrong. 843 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,400 Speaker 2: Barry Soaper is nuts. Nothing wrong with the cut of 844 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 2: that suit. It's a stock standard nineteen thirty suit. It's 845 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,439 Speaker 2: the cut. Has you know what King wats's face? Who 846 00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,400 Speaker 2: decided to abdicate because he wanted to run off with 847 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 2: the American Wallace? What's his name, Edward David? I don't 848 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:06,319 Speaker 2: know anyway, that one. It's basically the same. Probably he's 849 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,839 Speaker 2: probably just whipped it out. Probably my great uncle suit. 850 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,720 Speaker 2: It's probably the same suit. It basically looks like stock 851 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,160 Speaker 2: standard Kingley, Where do you know what I mean? Anyway, 852 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 2: we'll talk to the huddle about Ginny and that little 853 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,960 Speaker 2: whips when they're with us shortly, Jeff Bezos, we need 854 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 2: to talk about him quickly. You will have seen that 855 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 2: there's a big brew haha about the Washington Post right 856 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 2: because they pend to column endorsing Karmala Harris and Jeff 857 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,239 Speaker 2: Bezos got involved and basically killed the thing. Now he 858 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,560 Speaker 2: has written his own column explaining it's been a huge 859 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 2: kerfuffle for the paper. They've lost apparently two hundred thousand 860 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:39,040 Speaker 2: subscribers who have now canceled their accounts, and basically in protest. 861 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,399 Speaker 2: Jeff Bezos, who owns it, has now written his own 862 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,360 Speaker 2: column explaining why he did it. He says, basically because 863 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,759 Speaker 2: trust of the media is falling. He says, presidential endorsements 864 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,600 Speaker 2: do nothing to tip the scales of an election. No, 865 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,879 Speaker 2: undecided voters in Pennsylvania are going to say, I'm going 866 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:58,359 Speaker 2: with newspaper a's endorsement. None. What presidential endorsements actually do 867 00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,919 Speaker 2: is create a perception of bias, a perception of non independence. 868 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,560 Speaker 2: Ending them is a principal decision, and it's the right one. Now, 869 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,520 Speaker 2: I mean, he makes a fair point, but do you 870 00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 2: think that it take away the endorsement. Is the Washington 871 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 2: Post gonna look any less like it loves Carmela and 872 00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,920 Speaker 2: hates Trump? Probably not. The bias perception stays, doesn't it? 873 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,960 Speaker 2: Quarter pass Hey, pre orders are open for the BYD 874 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,359 Speaker 2: Sharks six super Hybrid.

It's the electric revolution, which has 877 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 2: arrived basically well and truly because of this ute. If 878 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,480 Speaker 2: you're still on the fence, basically, there's never been a 879 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,919 Speaker 2: better time to make the leap. The BYD Sharks six 880 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:41,719 Speaker 2: super Hybrid boasts two electric motors and a petrol engine, 881 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,840 Speaker 2: and those combined put out as much power as an 882 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,720 Speaker 2: equivalent four liter V eight. Now, if that doesn't convince you, 883 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 2: then just look at the demand.

Insurance is not a warranty or a guarantee 897 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 2: of work. I'm getting quite a few texts poking holes 898 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:26,720 Speaker 2: in this idea. We're going to get to it. Nineteen 899 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,319 Speaker 2: past five. Now it is a week, as I said 900 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,560 Speaker 2: at the start of the show to the US election, 901 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,760 Speaker 2: and it is ramping up over there. Trump's just spoken 902 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:39,240 Speaker 2: at a rally in Georgia. 903 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 17: Between we will have four more years of ins then, 904 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:46,560 Speaker 17: or whether or not we will begin with the greatest years. 905 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,239 Speaker 4: The history of prick, you know, is nasty to me. 906 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 2: Michelle Obama, Jack's aim, host of Q and a host 907 00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 2: of a newstalk z'd be Saturday Mornings is over in 908 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,359 Speaker 2: the States. Was actually at the rally, Hey, Jack, Hey? 909 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:02,600 Speaker 2: On a scale of one to ten, how much did 910 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:03,560 Speaker 2: you love being there? 911 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:04,840 Speaker 4: Oh? 912 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:06,240 Speaker 12: I'm fifteen? 913 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:10,160 Speaker 18: Like, I just absolutely froth on US politics, always have. 914 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,840 Speaker 18: This is my fourth US election that I covered. 915 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 12: So yeah, real joy to be there. I mean it's funny. 916 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:20,320 Speaker 18: I was interested today to compare Trump's rally today in Atlanta, 917 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,280 Speaker 18: where sitting in the bleachers there with the first Trump 918 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,520 Speaker 18: rallies that I went to in Texas like nine years ago, 919 00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,600 Speaker 18: and honestly, not a whole lot has changed. 920 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:30,920 Speaker 19: It's quite funny. 921 00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:32,960 Speaker 18: Like the crowd who turns up, a lot of them 922 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,319 Speaker 18: have been to heaps of Trump rallies before. I saw 923 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,760 Speaker 18: one guy who said to me was his ninth Trump rally, 924 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 18: And a lot of the like scripting points get repeated 925 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,560 Speaker 18: day after day after day, and the crowd's actually hanging 926 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:47,239 Speaker 18: out to hear them. So, for example, when Trump's his Kamela, 927 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,880 Speaker 18: the whole audience yells You're fired. The whole thing follows 928 00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,279 Speaker 18: a pretty neat script, even when even when you know 929 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,719 Speaker 18: Trump goes off on his little you know, on his 930 00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:02,440 Speaker 18: little off pieced from time to time. But yeah, you know, 931 00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,880 Speaker 18: I think my sense is that he is that he 932 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,800 Speaker 18: has a little bit of momentum coming off the Medicine 933 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,400 Speaker 18: Square gardens rarely yesterday, and yeah, is obviously going to 934 00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:13,880 Speaker 18: look to continue that over the next week. 935 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:17,080 Speaker 2: I remember being over there in twenty sixteen and it 936 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:18,640 Speaker 2: was like a few it was quite a few months 937 00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,919 Speaker 2: before the election campaign, and I came back and I said, 938 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:22,960 Speaker 2: to the guy's back here, Trump's going to win and 939 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,160 Speaker 2: nobody would believe it. But on the ground, it's a 940 00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,759 Speaker 2: different feeling to what people can see. You know, if 941 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,720 Speaker 2: you're sitting in a foreign land, So what's your feeling 942 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:30,920 Speaker 2: on the ground. Is he going to win it? 943 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:32,320 Speaker 4: Well? 944 00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,920 Speaker 18: Okay, My thing is that it's always very hard to 945 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,359 Speaker 18: get it a nationwide perspective in the US. So I 946 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,319 Speaker 18: was in Arizona yesterday and the vibe in Arizona is 947 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,960 Speaker 18: very different to where I am in Atlanta today, and 948 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:45,759 Speaker 18: I would suggest it's going to be very different to 949 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,359 Speaker 18: where I am in Pennsylvania in two days time. That 950 00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,280 Speaker 18: being said, I reckon, over the last couple of weeks 951 00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,400 Speaker 18: there has been a subtle momentum shift, nothing like the 952 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,880 Speaker 18: momentum shift we saw earlier on when Trump had survived 953 00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,880 Speaker 18: that attemtive assassination and then when Joe Biden pulled out Carmala, 954 00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 18: Harris Scott dropped into the candidate spot and had that 955 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,279 Speaker 18: massive surge. Nothing like that, But I reckon, there has 956 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:11,799 Speaker 18: been a noticeable little shift in momentum. And you know, 957 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:13,600 Speaker 18: obviously Harris is going to try and turn that around 958 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:17,800 Speaker 18: in the next couple of days. But if momentum tells 959 00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:21,280 Speaker 18: us anything about turnout at the polls, it would suggest 960 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,480 Speaker 18: I think that at the very least, the Trump campaign 961 00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,359 Speaker 18: are feeling quite pleased with where they're at. 962 00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,920 Speaker 2: Okay, Jack, thanks very much, Jack, tayme Q and a 963 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 2: host host of newstalgsz'd b Saturday Mornings. Heather, I'm all 964 00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:32,799 Speaker 2: for speeding up the process with the building consens et cetera. 965 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:34,960 Speaker 2: Where I was. However, when was the last time you 966 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,440 Speaker 2: heard about a builder in a van going bankrupt? The 967 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 2: companies who built subdivisions closed the company down once they've 968 00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:41,680 Speaker 2: built the last house. The only way to hold people 969 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:45,040 Speaker 2: accountable is by holding the directors accountable for all of 970 00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:48,000 Speaker 2: the rework. Very good point, Darren, five point twenty two. 971 00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:52,160 Speaker 1: Digging deeper into the day's headlines, it's Heather Duper Clan 972 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,839 Speaker 1: drive with one New Zealand Let's. 973 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,879 Speaker 3: Get connected and Newstalg z'b oh. 974 00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,200 Speaker 2: There's quite the fight going on about the motor camp 975 00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,120 Speaker 2: vans and all the like the holiday people in Rotrue, 976 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,279 Speaker 2: we'll talk about that very shortly. Nikola Willis is with 977 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,000 Speaker 2: us after six By the way, because remember I was 978 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,000 Speaker 2: telling y'all loved her speech about the public servants. We 979 00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,600 Speaker 2: have chat to her about that when she's with us 980 00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:12,840 Speaker 2: now five point twenty five. I think we got a 981 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:14,880 Speaker 2: question answered last week that many of us have been 982 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:16,880 Speaker 2: asking for a while, and I think it's worth us 983 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,440 Speaker 2: talking about this really quickly. The question is why is 984 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,640 Speaker 2: it that so many babies are still being killed in 985 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 2: this country by the very people who are supposed to 986 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,960 Speaker 2: help them. Why is this still happening. The answer came 987 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,399 Speaker 2: from the ombudsman, Peter Bosher, and although we did talk 988 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,399 Speaker 2: about it last week, I do think it is worth 989 00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,040 Speaker 2: just laying this out really simply so we understand this right. 990 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,520 Speaker 2: The reason that the babies are still being killed in 991 00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,359 Speaker 2: this country at the numbers in the numbers that they 992 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,040 Speaker 2: are by the people who are supposed to love them 993 00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:45,640 Speaker 2: is in part because ordering it. Timriiki, formerly known as siffs, 994 00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:49,680 Speaker 2: is crap at its job, and OT is crap at 995 00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,719 Speaker 2: its job simply because it is not doing its job. 996 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:54,759 Speaker 2: It is getting warnings, it's just not doing it. So 997 00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:56,960 Speaker 2: Peter Bosher warned us about one case that caught his 998 00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,680 Speaker 2: attention last week. It's the case of four kids who 999 00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:03,319 Speaker 2: being abused by the mum's partner. Seven different groups of 1000 00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,480 Speaker 2: people warned O T that there was abuse going on, 1001 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:11,279 Speaker 2: including sending in photographic evidence. OT did not keep those 1002 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,319 Speaker 2: kids safe. Despite all of those warnings. They put some 1003 00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,080 Speaker 2: sort of like a safety plan in place or something 1004 00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 2: like that. It was breached twice while the ombudsman was 1005 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,080 Speaker 2: still looking at the case and asking questions. They are 1006 00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,120 Speaker 2: now living with their father. Seven different people warned O 1007 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,800 Speaker 2: T nine different times, and in the end, OT basically 1008 00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:31,239 Speaker 2: stood by while a kidnapping occurred. Now, how many times 1009 00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,760 Speaker 2: lately have we heard about babies or kids being killed? 1010 00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,319 Speaker 2: And then we find out, oh, O T already knew 1011 00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:39,279 Speaker 2: that family the boy an Tikuwiti, remember that boy where 1012 00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,719 Speaker 2: the dad has been charged. O T had already been 1013 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:45,000 Speaker 2: involved with that family once before, because the baby had 1014 00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,719 Speaker 2: already been badly hurt once before. The two kids in 1015 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:49,960 Speaker 2: Stokes Valley and Wellington who were taken to hospital with 1016 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:53,920 Speaker 2: severe injuries, like really awful injuries in March, OT were 1017 00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,000 Speaker 2: already aware of that family. They won't tell us for 1018 00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:59,319 Speaker 2: how long, of course, they weren't. Malachi Shubash, which is 1019 00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:03,640 Speaker 2: a case that has shocked this country. The family warned Ot. 1020 00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:08,400 Speaker 2: They even sent photographs to Ot. The caregiver killed him. Anyway, 1021 00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:10,759 Speaker 2: The thing is, there seemed to be no consequences for 1022 00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:12,640 Speaker 2: Ot in this They stuff up time and time and 1023 00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:14,520 Speaker 2: time again. Nothing is done because I don't know what 1024 00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,040 Speaker 2: can be done. What can be done, I don't know, 1025 00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 2: But at least I suppose if we've got something out 1026 00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:20,399 Speaker 2: of this, we've got an answer to the question why 1027 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:22,759 Speaker 2: are kids still being killed in this country by people 1028 00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:24,920 Speaker 2: who are supposed to look after them? And the answer 1029 00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:26,720 Speaker 2: is because some of the people paid to look after 1030 00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:28,239 Speaker 2: the people who are paid to look at who are 1031 00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:32,200 Speaker 2: looking after the kids OT are just not doing their jobs, 1032 00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:32,600 Speaker 2: are they? 1033 00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,000 Speaker 3: I'd ever do?

I mean, 1036 00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,960 Speaker 2: because remember they told us they were like m long weekend, 1037 00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,760 Speaker 2: wet and windy, cold, freezing. 1038 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:48,000 Speaker 20: Was it that bad? 1039 00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:49,520 Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe it was bad in other parts 1040 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,200 Speaker 2: of the country, but I went away. I was like, Oh, 1041 00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,080 Speaker 2: shall we go to the beach.

And they also 1065 00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,400 Speaker 2: don't support the support the local economy much. Bruce la 1066 00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:12,040 Speaker 2: who is the CEO of the Motor Caravan Association and 1067 00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:12,520 Speaker 2: with us. 1068 00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:14,640 Speaker 3: Hey, Bruce, Hi, is that true? 1069 00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:15,160 Speaker 7: Well? 1070 00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:15,480 Speaker 4: Thank you? 1071 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,120 Speaker 2: Is it true that they're breaking the no more than 1072 00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,480 Speaker 2: two nights rule and they're not really spending that much 1073 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:21,200 Speaker 2: money in town? 1074 00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,120 Speaker 19: Well two parts of that. I don't know how long 1075 00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:27,439 Speaker 19: they're staying, whether they're breaking the two night rule at all, 1076 00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:31,000 Speaker 19: but they will be spending money in town. So there's 1077 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,479 Speaker 19: no question there's two different things going on there. 1078 00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:35,960 Speaker 2: How do you know they're spending money in town, because 1079 00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:37,600 Speaker 2: if they rock up with all the stuff that they need, 1080 00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:38,160 Speaker 2: maybe they're not. 1081 00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:42,440 Speaker 19: Well. Indy did the research themselves on us back in 1082 00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:46,400 Speaker 19: two twenty. So we've always known because we've always researched 1083 00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,359 Speaker 19: our own members about what they spend per night while 1084 00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:53,080 Speaker 19: they're away, and it's normally around about ninety dollars for 1085 00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,040 Speaker 19: our members for two in event per night if they're 1086 00:50:56,040 --> 00:51:00,359 Speaker 19: freedom camping, if they're out and about. So Indy did 1087 00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,080 Speaker 19: their own research on this back in two twenty. They 1088 00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:07,759 Speaker 19: used Fresh Info, a research company, and they came up 1089 00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:12,880 Speaker 19: with a whole list of spending across four different categories, 1090 00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:18,480 Speaker 19: domestic that's US and then international, those who purchased a vehicle, 1091 00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:22,440 Speaker 19: those who hired a budget vehicle, and those that hired 1092 00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:26,000 Speaker 19: an expensive vehicle, And they came up with daily figures 1093 00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:30,640 Speaker 19: for that, which indicates that they do spend and also 1094 00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:34,240 Speaker 19: goes alongside that how long they spend in the country, 1095 00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:39,000 Speaker 19: which are along with those different categories, so they show 1096 00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:42,960 Speaker 19: substantially that they do contribute to that local economy when 1097 00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:43,480 Speaker 19: they come up. 1098 00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:45,200 Speaker 2: Do you think this is just a case of a 1099 00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,919 Speaker 2: holiday park trying to protect its patch and look after 1100 00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:48,640 Speaker 2: its own business. 1101 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:50,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. 1102 00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:53,560 Speaker 19: I mean we come across this time after time, and 1103 00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,399 Speaker 19: that's all it is. But you know, she shouldn't be 1104 00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,880 Speaker 19: too upset about it, because with the figures that came 1105 00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:04,279 Speaker 19: out of NB even if they say someone's purchase one 1106 00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:06,360 Speaker 19: of those little vehicles that we're talking about, which of 1107 00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:10,960 Speaker 19: course are going to be out under the new legislation anyway. 1108 00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,239 Speaker 19: But they stayed in the average at two hundred and 1109 00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:16,960 Speaker 19: eleven nights in the country, and half of that was 1110 00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:20,640 Speaker 19: freedom camping and half of that was stayed and paid accommodation. 1111 00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,400 Speaker 19: So in the campground because they'll go with the do 1112 00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,359 Speaker 19: their washing and have a shower and all of that 1113 00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,680 Speaker 19: sort of stuff. So they get half of that market anyway, 1114 00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:33,320 Speaker 19: and that's not too dissimilar for the budget and the 1115 00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:37,600 Speaker 19: premium hires short shortest days forty eight days and thirty 1116 00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:41,800 Speaker 19: two nights, but split between commercial campgrounds and freedom camping, 1117 00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,520 Speaker 19: so they get a crack out of anyway. 1118 00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:46,719 Speaker 2: Thank you for running as through. Really appreciated.

He didn't want to say 1135 00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:21,399 Speaker 2: Trump's going to win, but he kind of got there 1136 00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:21,839 Speaker 2: in the end. 1137 00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,400 Speaker 21: What do you think, Well, if you listen to someone 1138 00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:28,239 Speaker 21: like Nate Silver, who's one of the most famous, well known, 1139 00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:32,719 Speaker 21: respected polsters in America, he was asked exactly that question. 1140 00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:33,680 Speaker 21: He gets asked all the time. 1141 00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:35,240 Speaker 5: He said, it's fifty to fifty. 1142 00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:38,640 Speaker 21: Anyone who says they know anything more than that is 1143 00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:42,160 Speaker 21: probably lying or making it up. But if you're asking 1144 00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:45,239 Speaker 21: me what my what my gut instinct is, what the 1145 00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:49,880 Speaker 21: vibe is, I'd say Trump's going to win, so you know, 1146 00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,719 Speaker 21: I I But the big thing about that, I do 1147 00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:55,960 Speaker 21: think that Trump's got got an uptick in the in 1148 00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,319 Speaker 21: the last week or so. But the thing I would 1149 00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:02,320 Speaker 21: say against that is that whoever gets the turnout, whoever 1150 00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,760 Speaker 21: turns out their vote, will win. It's so so close, 1151 00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,920 Speaker 21: And you know, Elon Musk can offer people a million 1152 00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:12,000 Speaker 21: dollars every day and so on, but he's got absolutely 1153 00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:15,680 Speaker 21: no experience of the boring, hard work of building a 1154 00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,080 Speaker 21: campaign where literally I can tell you either I've done 1155 00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:21,319 Speaker 21: it many times. On election day, you do about three 1156 00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:24,040 Speaker 21: sweeps of a street. You get a few streets.

You know, 1172 00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:08,439 Speaker 22: there's a lot of talk about whether and like last 1173 00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:12,400 Speaker 22: time Trump won, whether the polls are in fact under 1174 00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,839 Speaker 22: underpicking him because they're not getting out to the right 1175 00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:21,120 Speaker 22: the right voters. In terms of Josie's point, you know, 1176 00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:25,759 Speaker 22: Carmena hal Harris has got a huge on the ground team. 1177 00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:30,319 Speaker 22: They have had an app for their their daughter door 1178 00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:33,239 Speaker 22: canvases so they go into an area, they get off 1179 00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:36,160 Speaker 22: a bus, They've got an app on their phones that 1180 00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:38,799 Speaker 22: tells them exactly which door they need to knock on, 1181 00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:42,440 Speaker 22: and they'll be going back on election day because they 1182 00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:45,800 Speaker 22: are they are actually offering people rides to the polls. 1183 00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:49,279 Speaker 22: What's been interesting in the past few days so is 1184 00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:53,200 Speaker 22: to look at how the campaign has turned. So Trump 1185 00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:56,920 Speaker 22: has been turning, as one commentator said, to vulgarity and 1186 00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:01,960 Speaker 22: viral stunts. His languaging is getting more and more sort 1187 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:06,319 Speaker 22: of gross, and those on his on his team, and 1188 00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:10,480 Speaker 22: on the other side, you have got Kamela Harris turning 1189 00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,239 Speaker 22: out star power with the likes of Michelle Obama in 1190 00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:18,920 Speaker 22: recent days, really going hard on women and reproductive rights. 1191 00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:23,239 Speaker 22: And you've also had Republican Liz Cheney turning out for 1192 00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:26,440 Speaker 22: Harris in the past week, which has been really interesting 1193 00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:30,080 Speaker 22: because that message has been to Republicans who don't want 1194 00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:31,719 Speaker 22: to they don't want to vote for Trump, but they 1195 00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:35,200 Speaker 22: don't want to admit that they would vote for the Democrats. 1196 00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,600 Speaker 22: So you know, there's just so much in play for 1197 00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:40,759 Speaker 22: the election. It's fascinating. 1198 00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:44,279 Speaker 21: What's really interesting is that I saw some research that 1199 00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:47,360 Speaker 21: the attack ads that have gone out against Trump. You know, 1200 00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:50,960 Speaker 21: he's a fascist, he's this, he's that. They're really ineffective 1201 00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:55,279 Speaker 21: because his supporters already know that he's despicable and he's 1202 00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:58,200 Speaker 21: not a nice guy. So they're rationalizing it like like 1203 00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:00,160 Speaker 21: John Key has he's gone, look, I know he's not 1204 00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,399 Speaker 21: a nice guy, but I like the tax cuts. So 1205 00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:06,239 Speaker 21: the attack ads don't work. What but but it's not 1206 00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:09,000 Speaker 21: the same for Kumalas. So if Trump's campaign does an 1207 00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:12,000 Speaker 21: attack ad on Kamala that works really well, and they 1208 00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,399 Speaker 21: go out and say, oh, she's failed, she's weak, she's 1209 00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:17,960 Speaker 21: dangerously liberal, that works quite well. The ads that work 1210 00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:21,640 Speaker 21: the best for Kamala are Buddy the working class guy 1211 00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:24,760 Speaker 21: who's shown listening to Trump, going, you guys are rich 1212 00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:27,200 Speaker 21: as hell. These are to you know, billionaires, I'm going 1213 00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:29,560 Speaker 21: to give you a tax cut, and Buddy says, well, 1214 00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:32,080 Speaker 21: I'm not rich as hell and I need a tax cut. 1215 00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:35,880 Speaker 21: So anything that's targeting the working class on economy and 1216 00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:38,200 Speaker 21: costs of living it works for the Democrats. But not 1217 00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:39,160 Speaker 21: attacking Trump. 1218 00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:43,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a very good point actually that you've made. Right, 1219 00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:44,840 Speaker 2: They're right, we'll take a break come back sixteen away 1220 00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:45,400 Speaker 2: from six. 1221 00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:49,680 Speaker 1: The Huddle with New Zealand Sotheby's International Realty elevate the 1222 00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:51,680 Speaker 1: marketing of your home Right on the huddle with. 1223 00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:54,520 Speaker 2: Us Tresious and Josephganny, Trisha, do we need to take 1224 00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:56,240 Speaker 2: the socials off Ginny. 1225 00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:02,959 Speaker 22: Well as a starting point? I mean, anyone facing into 1226 00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:04,880 Speaker 22: the wind for a photo is going to look like 1227 00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:08,800 Speaker 22: a vacuum pact lamb chop, aren't they? I thought, I 1228 00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:12,160 Speaker 22: thought that that was pretty pretty silly and unfair, And 1229 00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:14,200 Speaker 22: in fact, when I saw it that there were two 1230 00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:16,960 Speaker 22: things that stuck out to me. One is, I thought, gee, 1231 00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,880 Speaker 22: poor old King Charles, he looks pretty old and thin 1232 00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:23,600 Speaker 22: on it, and considering that he's been battling cancer this year, 1233 00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:26,920 Speaker 22: that's no surprise. And Then the other thing that I 1234 00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:31,720 Speaker 22: noticed in that photo lurking in the background of it, yep, 1235 00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,120 Speaker 22: was a navel. Was a naval vessel. And I thought, 1236 00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:37,120 Speaker 22: it's sort of a you know, it's sort of almost 1237 00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,840 Speaker 22: you know, a ghostly image. Considering what happened to our 1238 00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:42,040 Speaker 22: mana we nui over there. 1239 00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:44,720 Speaker 2: What you're trying to say, Trish is you didn't even 1240 00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:46,840 Speaker 2: look at his crotch, did you? 1241 00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:47,240 Speaker 4: No? 1242 00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:48,080 Speaker 3: No, I didn't. 1243 00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:50,960 Speaker 2: I didn't No, I didn't think. 1244 00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,360 Speaker 22: I did think that about I truly thought that though 1245 00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:56,280 Speaker 22: about the suit when you're facing into the wind and 1246 00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:58,920 Speaker 22: any any you know, as a woman, you'd never do 1247 00:58:59,000 --> 00:58:59,880 Speaker 22: that with your best frock. 1248 00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:03,200 Speaker 2: But also I do. 1249 00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:05,640 Speaker 22: Think, you know, one of the things that people get 1250 00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:09,920 Speaker 22: caught out on so often was social not actually posting themselves, 1251 00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:15,160 Speaker 22: but liking a dumb tweet or a dumb post or 1252 00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:16,200 Speaker 22: re sharing. 1253 00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:17,120 Speaker 4: It without thinking. Yeah. 1254 00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:20,480 Speaker 2: I sort of feel like Josie, there should be, you know, 1255 00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:22,840 Speaker 2: like everybody's got some rules. Right the minute that I 1256 00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:25,160 Speaker 2: start drinking, I do not drive. I don't have an 1257 00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:28,120 Speaker 2: argument because it'll just go badly. You know, you've got 1258 00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:30,760 Speaker 2: to have I don't send messages to people because it's 1259 00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:33,160 Speaker 2: a bad idea. And I feel like politicians should have 1260 00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:35,320 Speaker 2: a rule. You can use the social but don't like 1261 00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:37,800 Speaker 2: other people's stuff, no matter how hilarious it is. 1262 00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:41,120 Speaker 21: Yeah, and nothing good happens after midnight. So if you're 1263 00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:45,200 Speaker 21: on Twitter X whatever it's called now and doing tweeting 1264 00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:48,600 Speaker 21: and retweeting and liking, you're being a bit daft. But 1265 00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:52,120 Speaker 21: the interesting thing is Jinny Anderson's offense here is pretty 1266 00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:54,680 Speaker 21: similar grade to that of Andrew Bailey. 1267 00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:55,040 Speaker 5: Isn't it. 1268 00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:57,560 Speaker 21: And yet you know, where are the calls for her resignation. 1269 00:59:57,720 --> 00:59:58,320 Speaker 20: There aren't there. 1270 00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:00,959 Speaker 21: I do think the the thing that gets me about 1271 01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:05,200 Speaker 21: Jenny is no, well, I think it's the same level 1272 01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:08,240 Speaker 21: of nothingness. Really, I mean I don't. I think she's 1273 01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,720 Speaker 21: daft to have done that and she shouldn't have done it, 1274 01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:13,720 Speaker 21: But I don't think it's you know, it's a big issue. 1275 01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:15,960 Speaker 21: I think the bigger issue for me about Jenny is 1276 01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,240 Speaker 21: when she was police Minister. And I think it's not 1277 01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:23,640 Speaker 21: just the you know, ill advised comments on Mark Mitchell 1278 01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:26,080 Speaker 21: as police minister that he'd killed people and so on. 1279 01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:28,480 Speaker 21: It's not so much this and not even this silly tweet. 1280 01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:30,880 Speaker 21: It's more do you remember back in the ram raids 1281 01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,240 Speaker 21: last year? And I remember she was police Minister and 1282 01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:36,360 Speaker 21: she came out and said no, no, actually the statistics 1283 01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:39,040 Speaker 21: show that ramraids are continuing to trend downwards and we're 1284 01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:42,520 Speaker 21: all feeling safer. And it was such a jarring note 1285 01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:45,040 Speaker 21: from a police minister when everyone was going this is 1286 01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:47,960 Speaker 21: awful and Darianors were having a problem. So I think 1287 01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:50,320 Speaker 21: she's got bigger problems, and I think Labour has bigger 1288 01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:51,040 Speaker 21: problems with her. 1289 01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:54,920 Speaker 2: Than simply her daft, you know, reach gre It's weird 1290 01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:57,200 Speaker 2: that they haven't realized after about seven years of her 1291 01:00:57,240 --> 01:01:00,280 Speaker 2: saying stupid stuff out loud, that she's a liable. But 1292 01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:03,000 Speaker 2: maybe they'll get there in the end. Now, Trish, what 1293 01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:05,080 Speaker 2: are we going to do about the mail situation? I'm 1294 01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:07,840 Speaker 2: very happy for New Zealand Posts to literally never deliver 1295 01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:09,840 Speaker 2: another piece of mail to my letter box and just 1296 01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:11,120 Speaker 2: shut the thing down. What about you? 1297 01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:15,680 Speaker 20: I am absolutely with you. 1298 01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:17,720 Speaker 22: I mean, I can't think of the last time I 1299 01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:21,720 Speaker 22: got anything in the mail that I actually wanted. Main 1300 01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:26,600 Speaker 22: things around here is still are real estate flyers. You 1301 01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:31,040 Speaker 22: still get the odds, you know, circular from chemists particularly, 1302 01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:34,280 Speaker 22: you get a lot of those, and often it is 1303 01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:37,840 Speaker 22: it's tickets or something that you really don't want. Everything 1304 01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:41,160 Speaker 22: else is online, and I think for New Zealand Post 1305 01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:43,840 Speaker 22: it's one of those things where they probably need to 1306 01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:46,640 Speaker 22: make a pretty deep cut and get ahead of it 1307 01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:50,120 Speaker 22: rather than you know, constantly what feels like cutting back 1308 01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:53,360 Speaker 22: on on service. And these days, you know, I was thinking, 1309 01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:55,880 Speaker 22: while in the back of the day you loved getting 1310 01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,760 Speaker 22: a letter, but these days, even with your older friends 1311 01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:00,840 Speaker 22: and relatives, you just jump on FaceTime with them. 1312 01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:01,400 Speaker 4: Yea too. 1313 01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:04,840 Speaker 21: And every time I see the mailbox full of stuff, 1314 01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:08,240 Speaker 21: my heart sinks because it's either a bill, a traffic fine, 1315 01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:11,160 Speaker 21: a hospital test result, or direct marketing, none of which 1316 01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:14,040 Speaker 21: are welcome. I don't want any of it. But for 1317 01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:17,240 Speaker 21: some reason, banks still send bank statements, but I know 1318 01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:18,200 Speaker 21: you can select not. 1319 01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:19,400 Speaker 2: I don't get that nut. 1320 01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:21,600 Speaker 21: Oh I'm still getting bank sex. 1321 01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:22,080 Speaker 12: But yeah. 1322 01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:24,120 Speaker 21: The point is that is it obviously is fading out 1323 01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:26,440 Speaker 21: a bit like checks, right, But but you do have 1324 01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:28,600 Speaker 21: to phase it out over time because you do have 1325 01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:31,080 Speaker 21: people in sort of rural communities like I remember as 1326 01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:34,760 Speaker 21: an aide charity, we had people sending donations with checks 1327 01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:36,880 Speaker 21: when the checks were being phased out. So you've got 1328 01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:39,440 Speaker 21: to kind of you've got to move slowly with this stuff, 1329 01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:41,960 Speaker 21: I guess. But yeah, nothing good comes in the mailbox 1330 01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:42,959 Speaker 21: here days. 1331 01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,160 Speaker 2: Too, right, nothing good at all. Thanks guys, appreciate it. 1332 01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:48,080 Speaker 2: Trisius and Hurson, Willis pianre Jo Spacani Child Fund CEO. 1333 01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:52,440 Speaker 2: I got a letter today in the mail to a 1334 01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:56,000 Speaker 2: vendor then deathless and daughter of a realistate agent, to 1335 01:02:56,080 --> 01:03:00,360 Speaker 2: a previous owner of the house, multiple owners ago, and 1336 01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:04,160 Speaker 2: somebody had written it handwritten, like they put whatever I'm 1337 01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:06,040 Speaker 2: going to open it. I am going to open it 1338 01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:09,600 Speaker 2: because I'm fascinated. They stuffed whatever it is in there, 1339 01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:13,840 Speaker 2: and then they hand wrote Chris, Chris, Chris, come and 1340 01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:16,320 Speaker 2: get it. You know, I know you listen, Chris ble 1341 01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:20,200 Speaker 2: blah address. And then they then like having gone to 1342 01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:22,000 Speaker 2: the effort of writing that, they just bloody will put 1343 01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:22,600 Speaker 2: it in themselves. 1344 01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:22,880 Speaker 4: Didn't. 1345 01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,440 Speaker 2: They don't even have a stamp on it. Anyway. Up now, 1346 01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:26,680 Speaker 2: whether I've said I've got it, I'm going to have 1347 01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:29,000 Speaker 2: to give it to Chris before before again before I 1348 01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:31,280 Speaker 2: open it. But anyway, the point is simply, even the 1349 01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:33,960 Speaker 2: one piece of mail that looked vaguely interesting is for 1350 01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:36,480 Speaker 2: Chris two owners ago. How much does that suck? 1351 01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:40,640 Speaker 1: Seven away from six on your smart speaker, on the 1352 01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:43,240 Speaker 1: iHeart app, and in your car on your drive home. 1353 01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:47,439 Speaker 1: Heather duple c Allen drive with one New zealand one 1354 01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:50,080 Speaker 1: Giant Leap for Business News Talk as. 1355 01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:53,160 Speaker 2: It be hither, it's illegal to open someone else's mail 1356 01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,760 Speaker 2: without consent. Okay, I said, I'm not going to open it. 1357 01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:57,640 Speaker 2: I said to Chris. You heard me just say to Chris, 1358 01:03:57,640 --> 01:03:59,440 Speaker 2: come get the mail. So now, Chris knows I'm not 1359 01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:01,000 Speaker 2: going to open. I'm not gonna open, but I'm going 1360 01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:02,400 Speaker 2: to demand that he opens it in front of me 1361 01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:04,480 Speaker 2: so I can see what's in there. I'm fascinated here 1362 01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:06,520 Speaker 2: the car regio's and rucks still come in the mail. 1363 01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:09,400 Speaker 2: Just they can career it. They can simply chuck it 1364 01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:11,920 Speaker 2: in a career bag. Hither the banks insist on sending 1365 01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:14,640 Speaker 2: credit cards by snail mail, No they don't. I had 1366 01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,959 Speaker 2: mine sent by courier. Hither everything else isn't online. Rural 1367 01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:20,600 Speaker 2: dwellers need the letterbox? Do you not have the email? 1368 01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:23,200 Speaker 2: If you live rurally? Somebody send me a text to 1369 01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:25,120 Speaker 2: earl around like, we don't get any internet, mate, you 1370 01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:27,280 Speaker 2: need to get Did you know there's a lot of 1371 01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:29,480 Speaker 2: stuff going on the internet. If you're not getting the internet, 1372 01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:32,240 Speaker 2: you probably need to get on the internet because this 1373 01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:36,120 Speaker 2: pawn on there. You know, there's other stuff like music 1374 01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:39,680 Speaker 2: and then there's pawn so that's probably good for you. Hither, 1375 01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:42,160 Speaker 2: think about it. If they shut down New Zealand Post, 1376 01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:44,360 Speaker 2: we're going to end up with an environmental disaster. Imagine 1377 01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:46,720 Speaker 2: the amount of letterboxes that will end up in landfill. 1378 01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:50,280 Speaker 2: Signed by Simon feels like a particularly Simon Wilson takes. 1379 01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:52,240 Speaker 2: So I'm gonna imagine that that was Simon Wilson sending 1380 01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:54,760 Speaker 2: us that text. Now that gang tonguey in Wellington, I 1381 01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:56,439 Speaker 2: do not have an update for you on what's going 1382 01:04:56,480 --> 01:05:00,000 Speaker 2: on there, but so imagine my surprise when I'm reading 1383 01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:02,600 Speaker 2: the newspapers on another gang tongue el Paul Wellington. Oh 1384 01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:07,240 Speaker 2: it's Fats. Fats Dog Notorious is dead. Fats Dog Notorious 1385 01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:10,520 Speaker 2: had my phone number. I had Fats as phone number 1386 01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:14,160 Speaker 2: well before he changed it. Most recently, Fats I feel 1387 01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:16,280 Speaker 2: like he changed his phone number a lot because you know, 1388 01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:19,200 Speaker 2: he was in the mungrel mob. So it's probably not 1389 01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:21,240 Speaker 2: helpful to have the same phone number for a while, 1390 01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:23,480 Speaker 2: if you get what I'm saying, because of the business 1391 01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:26,240 Speaker 2: that you're in. I met Fats back in twenty ten 1392 01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:29,960 Speaker 2: or thereabouts. Do you remember Farmer Crescent in Portmare. It 1393 01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:31,840 Speaker 2: was the place where there were all these monkeys living 1394 01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:33,600 Speaker 2: and a house. It was full of housing. It was 1395 01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:36,440 Speaker 2: just so awful. It was just one of those streets 1396 01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:38,280 Speaker 2: you just did not want to live on. Full of 1397 01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:40,800 Speaker 2: house in New Zealand. Eventually the monkeys were causing all 1398 01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:42,240 Speaker 2: this trouble, so hows in New Zealand was trying to 1399 01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:44,600 Speaker 2: evict a bunch of women and it became a sob story. Anyway, 1400 01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:45,880 Speaker 2: I was doing a bunch of those stories and I 1401 01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:48,800 Speaker 2: went there to heaps of times. The women on that 1402 01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:51,200 Speaker 2: street were awful, like they were just really they were 1403 01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:54,640 Speaker 2: really aggressive and shouty, as often gang moles are. But 1404 01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:57,240 Speaker 2: Fats came to my rescue and he was like, oh, Hastels, 1405 01:05:57,360 --> 01:05:59,720 Speaker 2: come over here, and so he looked after me and 1406 01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:03,120 Speaker 2: made sure that the girls didn't get me. It's weird, 1407 01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:06,760 Speaker 2: I know, big fat guy, hence the name Fats drove 1408 01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:10,240 Speaker 2: a red car. Obviously. Anyway, I went back to have 1409 01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:11,920 Speaker 2: a look at the messages that he was sending me. 1410 01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:14,720 Speaker 2: Love to end his message with a kiss, which also 1411 01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:16,840 Speaker 2: is not not a gangy thing. Anyway. I'm not telling 1412 01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:18,480 Speaker 2: you that Fats was a good guy. He obviously wasn't. 1413 01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:20,080 Speaker 2: It was in the mungrel mob. But he could have 1414 01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:22,840 Speaker 2: a conversation outside of a gang, which says something. News 1415 01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:23,560 Speaker 2: talks edb. 1416 01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:30,760 Speaker 3: What's what's down? What were the major calls? And how 1417 01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:33,080 Speaker 3: will it affect the economy of the big business. 1418 01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:36,320 Speaker 1: Question is on The Business Hour with Heather the Duplicy 1419 01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:39,400 Speaker 1: Allen and my Hr on Newstalk's edb. 1420 01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:44,040 Speaker 2: Even been coming up in the next hour. Brad Olsen 1421 01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:46,800 Speaker 2: on the latest job Numbers. Jamie Mackay, fresh from a 1422 01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:48,720 Speaker 2: trip to the US, will give his take of what's 1423 01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:50,480 Speaker 2: happening on the ground. He's come back with a trump 1424 01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:52,520 Speaker 2: pat as well, don't hate him for it and ender 1425 01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:55,080 Speaker 2: Brady out of the UK seven Parsex and with us 1426 01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:57,600 Speaker 2: right now, as Nicola Willius the Finance Minister, Nicola Aloe, 1427 01:06:58,360 --> 01:07:00,560 Speaker 2: Hello here. You know much about this andnouncement on the 1428 01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:02,080 Speaker 2: building from Chris Pink today. 1429 01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:06,320 Speaker 20: He is your expert on that one. But look, this 1430 01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:09,000 Speaker 20: is all part of our mission to make it simpler 1431 01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:11,760 Speaker 20: and quicker to get a building consent and to build 1432 01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:12,160 Speaker 20: a house. 1433 01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:14,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, because the reason I'm raising it with you is 1434 01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:15,520 Speaker 2: because we spoke to him about an hour ago. But 1435 01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:17,640 Speaker 2: since then I've been getting a lot of texts suggesting 1436 01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:20,840 Speaker 2: that his plan's not going to work because basically it 1437 01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:22,920 Speaker 2: puts the risk on the builders in their insurers. But 1438 01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:25,560 Speaker 2: insurers don't ensure for defective work. Do you know if 1439 01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:26,200 Speaker 2: that's the case. 1440 01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:29,560 Speaker 20: Well, I know that he will have taken a lot 1441 01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:32,680 Speaker 20: of advice on this and he is intending to make 1442 01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:36,160 Speaker 20: it simpler, but lock feedback from those in the building 1443 01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:38,440 Speaker 20: industry is always relevant, and I'm sure that he'll keep 1444 01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:40,200 Speaker 20: working with those at the cul face. 1445 01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:43,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. Also, what happens if, for example, Duval is listed 1446 01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:45,520 Speaker 2: as one of these trust and builders that can check 1447 01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:47,520 Speaker 2: their own work right, but then they end up in 1448 01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:51,480 Speaker 2: the situation that Duval has there is defective work. Who pays? 1449 01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:51,680 Speaker 12: Then? 1450 01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:53,400 Speaker 2: Does it not just come back on you and I 1451 01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:54,200 Speaker 2: the taxpayer? 1452 01:07:56,000 --> 01:08:00,040 Speaker 20: Well, how those liabilities for depends, of course, and in 1453 01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:03,040 Speaker 20: terms of the whole receivership situation and where the funds 1454 01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:06,120 Speaker 20: sit and who's responsible at the various But so I'd 1455 01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:09,360 Speaker 20: hesitate to answer that example without having worked all of 1456 01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:09,720 Speaker 20: that through. 1457 01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:12,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough, Okay, listen, Kiwibank, do you like this 1458 01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:14,520 Speaker 2: listing idea? Well? 1459 01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:17,200 Speaker 20: As you know, I like the idea of Kiwi Bank 1460 01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:20,639 Speaker 20: getting bigger. To get bigger, it needs the capital for growth, 1461 01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:24,280 Speaker 20: and my viewers, that capital can come from more places 1462 01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:27,599 Speaker 20: than just the government. I've been seeking advice from Treasury 1463 01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:30,200 Speaker 20: on what the best way is to raise that capital 1464 01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:34,000 Speaker 20: and I'll be taking some recommendations up to Cabinet in 1465 01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:34,840 Speaker 20: the next little while. 1466 01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:37,519 Speaker 2: Why do we need another bank. If we've got four, 1467 01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:39,680 Speaker 2: I mean calls actually quite a lot right to be 1468 01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:42,040 Speaker 2: competing against each other. If we've got four and we're 1469 01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:43,720 Speaker 2: not happy with what they're doing, why do we think 1470 01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:45,080 Speaker 2: of fifth one's going to change things? 1471 01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:48,000 Speaker 20: Well, what the Comments commission have said is that before 1472 01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:51,840 Speaker 20: we have are a functional oligopoly. So rather than competing 1473 01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:53,920 Speaker 20: for market share, which is when you get all of 1474 01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:57,040 Speaker 20: the good things of competition like better prices, more innovation, 1475 01:08:57,200 --> 01:09:01,120 Speaker 20: better services, they're feeling very cozy and relaxed about just 1476 01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:04,360 Speaker 20: hanging on to their current market share and competing around 1477 01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:07,680 Speaker 20: the edges on on making as much profit as they 1478 01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:10,600 Speaker 20: can as individual banks. That's not a good situation for 1479 01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:14,679 Speaker 20: New Zealand bank users. So what the Commerce Commissioner said is, look, 1480 01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:18,280 Speaker 20: you need someone else in that market to be disrupting. 1481 01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:21,040 Speaker 20: There's a couple of ways that can happen. One through 1482 01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:24,760 Speaker 20: a big disruptor such as kiwibank. Another way is through 1483 01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:29,280 Speaker 20: getting more other financial companies competing on different kinds of products. 1484 01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:31,760 Speaker 20: So we want to achieve both of those things. And 1485 01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:34,000 Speaker 20: if you look over to Australia, they had a similar 1486 01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:40,680 Speaker 20: cozyologopoly situation happening Macquariebank played quite a disruptive role in 1487 01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:44,759 Speaker 20: that market and the result better deal for everyday bank users. 1488 01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:46,760 Speaker 2: But how do we know that New Zealand Post wont 1489 01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:50,800 Speaker 2: once it's kind of reached its maximum share market share 1490 01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:55,200 Speaker 2: won't just settle into a nice little oligopoly situation as well. 1491 01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:59,679 Speaker 20: Well, what you ultimately want is each of those entities 1492 01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:03,920 Speaker 20: to competing harder, and from my perspective, I don't just 1493 01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:08,599 Speaker 20: want Kiwi Bank offering innovative products and services and good pricing. 1494 01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:10,760 Speaker 20: I want it to be nipping so hard at the 1495 01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:13,519 Speaker 20: heels of the big banks that they are forced to 1496 01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:15,800 Speaker 20: do the same. And so I don't just see that 1497 01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:18,719 Speaker 20: as sitting on the shoulders of Kiwi Bank. I also 1498 01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:21,160 Speaker 20: want to see some of these new FinTechs coming through 1499 01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:24,400 Speaker 20: offering more disruptive products. I think there can be a 1500 01:10:24,439 --> 01:10:27,839 Speaker 20: bigger role in the future for non bank deposit takers 1501 01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:31,560 Speaker 20: and non bank lenders, so the likes of the finance companies, 1502 01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:34,680 Speaker 20: the building societies, that sort of thing. And what the 1503 01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:38,120 Speaker 20: Comments Commission report helpfully said was, look, if you actually 1504 01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:40,800 Speaker 20: got the regulation in this area a bit better, a 1505 01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:43,120 Speaker 20: lot of which is done by the Reserve Bank. There's 1506 01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:46,760 Speaker 20: every reason to believe those entities will compete more So, 1507 01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:49,240 Speaker 20: this is a classic one either where that boring word 1508 01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:53,320 Speaker 20: regulation actually really matters. If we get the ground rules right, 1509 01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:54,840 Speaker 20: will get better competition. 1510 01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:57,200 Speaker 2: Do you know yet who your Wellington Crown observer is 1511 01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:57,559 Speaker 2: going to be? 1512 01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:00,800 Speaker 20: No, And that is a decision for Simmy and Brown 1513 01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:02,360 Speaker 20: and it's one that I'm leaving him too. 1514 01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:03,800 Speaker 2: And do you know how long he's going to take 1515 01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:04,639 Speaker 2: making that decision. 1516 01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:09,000 Speaker 20: No, But I do know there's a ten day period 1517 01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:12,719 Speaker 20: between him having informed Wellington City countsful of his decision 1518 01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:16,120 Speaker 20: and leaving them to give feedback on that. So we 1519 01:11:16,160 --> 01:11:17,320 Speaker 20: still haven't run out that too. 1520 01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:17,760 Speaker 3: I don't know. 1521 01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:19,400 Speaker 2: I don't know if they're going to be able to 1522 01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:21,559 Speaker 2: meet the ten day thing, because I don't know. If 1523 01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:23,160 Speaker 2: you saw they had a twenty three minute meeting and 1524 01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:25,240 Speaker 2: then they broke for morning tea today. 1525 01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:29,680 Speaker 20: Well I can tell you that kit kevinet doesn't take 1526 01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:30,280 Speaker 20: good approach. 1527 01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:33,240 Speaker 2: Well, thank god, because otherwise would sack the lot of you. 1528 01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:35,960 Speaker 2: And fortunately we get that opportunity with them soon. Hey, 1529 01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:39,080 Speaker 2: have you been surprised by the reaction to the school lunches? 1530 01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:42,760 Speaker 20: I have been, because to me, this is just a 1531 01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:46,640 Speaker 20: win win win. You get your school lunch program continuing 1532 01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:49,360 Speaker 20: into the future. That by the way, Labor didn't put 1533 01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:51,519 Speaker 20: money aside to fund, but we found the money to 1534 01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:54,400 Speaker 20: fund it, and you get it done at a much 1535 01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:57,640 Speaker 20: lower cost per pupil, so down from as much as 1536 01:11:57,720 --> 01:12:00,840 Speaker 20: nine dollars ahead to more like three dollars ahead, and 1537 01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:04,560 Speaker 20: it's nutritionally good food. So I think this is a 1538 01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:07,240 Speaker 20: good solution and it's something that where the government should 1539 01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:08,320 Speaker 20: be proud of totally. 1540 01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:09,639 Speaker 2: And people are weird about it. But here's the one 1541 01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:12,040 Speaker 2: thing that I see as being a problem. Right, are 1542 01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:15,160 Speaker 2: you absolutely absolutely sure that you have done all of 1543 01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:17,000 Speaker 2: the things you need to do dotted the eyes and 1544 01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:19,280 Speaker 2: cross the tea so that Compass group doesn't stuff you 1545 01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:20,559 Speaker 2: guys in the end with crap food. 1546 01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:24,960 Speaker 20: Well, look, they're required to meet a series of guidelines, 1547 01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:28,120 Speaker 20: and the nutritional guidelines are the same as they were 1548 01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:31,360 Speaker 20: for the program previously, so there hasn't been a change here. 1549 01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:33,840 Speaker 20: And realistically they'll need to use a range of local 1550 01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:37,680 Speaker 20: suppliers right getting good nutritious products from the end. So 1551 01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:41,360 Speaker 20: I think this is a situation where there's no guarantee 1552 01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:43,720 Speaker 20: that a contract continues forever. They need to perform in 1553 01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:46,680 Speaker 20: order to get that contract. But by being more efficient, 1554 01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:50,519 Speaker 20: by getting a decent competition up, we're getting a better 1555 01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:53,680 Speaker 20: price for everyone and that benefits the tax payer. And 1556 01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:57,439 Speaker 20: actually David Semol has managed to get the program running 1557 01:12:57,479 --> 01:12:59,000 Speaker 20: in a way that it can be more sustainable for 1558 01:12:59,040 --> 01:12:59,479 Speaker 20: the future. 1559 01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:02,320 Speaker 2: I loved your speech where you told the public servants 1560 01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:04,800 Speaker 2: to give you some bold ideas. Do you reckon that 1561 01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:06,559 Speaker 2: that is it going to happen? I mean, it's one 1562 01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:08,880 Speaker 2: thing to say to them, I'm here to hear your crazy, 1563 01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:10,960 Speaker 2: kooky ideas. It's quite another for them to have the 1564 01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:12,080 Speaker 2: courage to come to you with them. 1565 01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:16,360 Speaker 20: Well, it needs two things. The first is it needs 1566 01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:19,800 Speaker 20: ministers who are prepared to listen. And I can tell 1567 01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:22,559 Speaker 20: you honestly, we are talking to all of the New 1568 01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:25,720 Speaker 20: Zealanders who feel the same frustration that we do that 1569 01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:28,320 Speaker 20: New Zealand hasn't been growing as fast, it hasn't been 1570 01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:31,200 Speaker 20: delivering as good as services as they want to see. 1571 01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:33,800 Speaker 20: And New Zealanders want bold ideas, so I think our 1572 01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:36,680 Speaker 20: ministers are poised to listen. The second thing that it 1573 01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:42,200 Speaker 20: requires is that public agencies themselves put forward the disruptive ideas, 1574 01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:45,320 Speaker 20: and that often means putting in lights the ideas from 1575 01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:48,040 Speaker 20: the people who are second or third tier in the organization, 1576 01:13:48,439 --> 01:13:52,120 Speaker 20: who are looking at problems differently from the way leaders 1577 01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:55,000 Speaker 20: in the past have done. And look between me and 1578 01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:56,880 Speaker 20: the Prime Minister and other ministers, we've put a real 1579 01:13:56,920 --> 01:14:00,360 Speaker 20: emphasis on this. Bring forward the fresh thinking, bring for bard, 1580 01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:04,960 Speaker 20: the young, disruptive people, the new people who have different perspectives, 1581 01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:08,320 Speaker 20: because if we do things the way we've always done them, 1582 01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:11,559 Speaker 20: we will get the same result and that is not 1583 01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:13,600 Speaker 20: good enough. We need to do much better too. 1584 01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:16,120 Speaker 2: Right now. On the performance pay, which is also something 1585 01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:18,800 Speaker 2: that you've spoken about in the past week, are you 1586 01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:20,640 Speaker 2: going to this is the bosses. Are you going to 1587 01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:24,240 Speaker 2: drop their base salary back in order to then add 1588 01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:26,439 Speaker 2: performance pay on top or does the performance pay just 1589 01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:27,840 Speaker 2: get added to what they're already earning. 1590 01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:32,160 Speaker 20: It has to be additional because there are existing employment 1591 01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:36,880 Speaker 20: agreements that exist between the Public Service commission and chief executives. 1592 01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:40,760 Speaker 20: So you can't after the fact renegotiate that and say 1593 01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:44,520 Speaker 20: some of your pay is at risk. So the employment relationship, 1594 01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:47,720 Speaker 20: as you'll appreciate, is not between ministers and chief executives. 1595 01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:51,720 Speaker 20: It's between the Public Service Commissioner and chief executives. And 1596 01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:54,640 Speaker 20: so what we've asked the Commissioner to do is to 1597 01:14:54,720 --> 01:14:58,919 Speaker 20: design a performance pay scheme and so that will advised 1598 01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:01,080 Speaker 20: to sit on top of their current payer arrangements. But 1599 01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:03,639 Speaker 20: we want it to be very strict that they would 1600 01:15:03,720 --> 01:15:07,439 Speaker 20: only get these bonuses if they deliver performance to New 1601 01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:11,439 Speaker 20: Zealanders above and beyond the status quo. And I have 1602 01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:14,000 Speaker 20: been working with the Public Service Commission to say, let's 1603 01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:17,000 Speaker 20: make this as transparent and accountable as possible, so New 1604 01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:20,599 Speaker 20: Zealanders can see for themselves what's required for a bonus 1605 01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:22,840 Speaker 20: to be paid and whether or not it's been paid. 1606 01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:26,240 Speaker 2: Nichola, listen to you. Guys at the ministerial level have 1607 01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:28,120 Speaker 2: the ability to go to New Zealand posts and say, 1608 01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:30,040 Speaker 2: all right enough with the sort of like death by 1609 01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:32,479 Speaker 2: a thousand cuts nonsense. Just cut the mail back to 1610 01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:34,880 Speaker 2: one delivery a week for everybody for the rest of 1611 01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:35,920 Speaker 2: time the end. 1612 01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:40,280 Speaker 20: Well, I guess that would be just middling at a 1613 01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:44,360 Speaker 20: degree of operational detail that we don't think is necessary, 1614 01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:46,280 Speaker 20: because instead what we say to them is, look, we 1615 01:15:46,320 --> 01:15:47,839 Speaker 20: want you performing well. 1616 01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:50,360 Speaker 2: As a commissioner, tell you how many million. 1617 01:15:51,680 --> 01:15:54,280 Speaker 20: Yeah, so they haven't been performing well. So that's why 1618 01:15:54,320 --> 01:15:56,760 Speaker 20: they've come to us and said, Okay, in order for 1619 01:15:56,800 --> 01:15:59,240 Speaker 20: that to happen, we're going to need to make some 1620 01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:03,360 Speaker 20: changes to business model, including reducing some of our delivery days, 1621 01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:06,559 Speaker 20: and they've gone out for consultation on that. So they 1622 01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:09,160 Speaker 20: go out for consultation on that with our blessing, because 1623 01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:12,799 Speaker 20: we're realistic. You know, the male model has completely changed. 1624 01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:15,040 Speaker 20: In order for that business to be viable, to be 1625 01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:16,880 Speaker 20: sustainable into the future, they're going to have to change 1626 01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:17,800 Speaker 20: the way they do some things. 1627 01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:19,000 Speaker 2: Do you get any mail that you love? 1628 01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:26,559 Speaker 20: No, I do. In my beehive office, I occasionally get 1629 01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:29,120 Speaker 20: a lovely little handwritten note and it tends to be 1630 01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:32,640 Speaker 20: from someone either very young or quite elderly, and it 1631 01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:33,519 Speaker 20: can be very sweet. 1632 01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:36,920 Speaker 2: I love it. Hey, Nichola, thanks very much appreciated. Nichola 1633 01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:40,960 Speaker 2: Willa's Finance Minister. Seventeen past six crunching the numbers and 1634 01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:42,160 Speaker 2: getting the results. 1635 01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:45,280 Speaker 3: It's Heather dup c Ellen with the business. 1636 01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:48,400 Speaker 1: Hours thanks to my HR, the HR platform for SME 1637 01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:50,360 Speaker 1: on news talksb hither. 1638 01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:52,599 Speaker 2: There are eighteen banks in New Zealand. New Zealand banks 1639 01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:54,720 Speaker 2: have the highest capital requirements in the world and that's 1640 01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:57,280 Speaker 2: why we have higher interest rates, even though Adrian calls 1641 01:16:57,320 --> 01:16:59,120 Speaker 2: black white on this issue. And do you know what 1642 01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:02,639 Speaker 2: that strikes to the very heart, oh lord, that strikes 1643 01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:06,200 Speaker 2: that the banking issue is so is made so much 1644 01:17:06,200 --> 01:17:08,120 Speaker 2: worse by the Reserve Bank. Strikes at the very heart 1645 01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:10,240 Speaker 2: of the debate between the Reserve Bank and the Commerce Commission. 1646 01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:12,080 Speaker 2: The Reserve Bank is making them hold all of this money. 1647 01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:15,200 Speaker 2: The Commers Commission's going, that's not really helping competition, guys, 1648 01:17:15,479 --> 01:17:17,640 Speaker 2: and the Reserve Bank will not budge on it. And 1649 01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:19,479 Speaker 2: we'll see who wins that thing in the end. By 1650 01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:23,480 Speaker 2: the way, got to if you're planning on going to Metallica, 1651 01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:25,280 Speaker 2: you're going to need to own a bank. By the 1652 01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:27,160 Speaker 2: looks of things. We'll give you those numbers short least 1653 01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:28,800 Speaker 2: coming up twenty one past six And with us now 1654 01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:32,840 Speaker 2: is Brad Olson in the Metric's principal economist. Heye, Brad good, evening, Well, 1655 01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:35,559 Speaker 2: so the job market's tough, isn't it it is? 1656 01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:38,200 Speaker 23: And we've continued to get further numbers that suggest how 1657 01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:41,439 Speaker 23: tough it is, the latest figures for September showing there 1658 01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:44,840 Speaker 23: are twenty nearly twenty one thousand fewer jobs in the 1659 01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:48,200 Speaker 23: New Zealand economy in September twenty twenty four compared to 1660 01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:50,280 Speaker 23: a year ago. You know, that's a pretty tough hit. 1661 01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:54,080 Speaker 23: And also most about half of those job losses coming 1662 01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:58,320 Speaker 23: through in Auckland, with around ten five hundred odd jobs 1663 01:17:58,479 --> 01:18:02,800 Speaker 23: fewer in the larger city than a year before. Those 1664 01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:05,839 Speaker 23: hits very much coming through. We've seen now no jobs 1665 01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:08,760 Speaker 23: growth at all since about March this year, and in 1666 01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:12,640 Speaker 23: fact we've either seen declines or things remaining flat, so 1667 01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:16,680 Speaker 23: really continuing to add the pressure there when households are 1668 01:18:16,680 --> 01:18:18,800 Speaker 23: of course trying to find jobs to pay for life 1669 01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:22,120 Speaker 23: as it goes round, but fewer and fewer job opportunities 1670 01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:26,679 Speaker 23: coming up. What sectors are being hit, Yeah, the biggest 1671 01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:29,400 Speaker 23: hit so far in terms of sectors has been construction, 1672 01:18:29,880 --> 01:18:33,480 Speaker 23: around about just over ten thousand fewer jobs in construction 1673 01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:37,160 Speaker 23: than a year ago. But then after construction sort of 1674 01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:41,280 Speaker 23: smattering across the board around seven thousand fewer jobs and 1675 01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:44,400 Speaker 23: admin and support services and that includes labor, higher and 1676 01:18:44,479 --> 01:18:48,320 Speaker 23: temporary roles. You've got six thousand odd fewer roles across 1677 01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:51,840 Speaker 23: accommodation and food services. Again, we're not traveling as much 1678 01:18:52,080 --> 01:18:54,479 Speaker 23: across the country and doing domestic travel, and so that's 1679 01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:58,959 Speaker 23: taken a hit. Manufacturings down around five thousand, professional services 1680 01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:02,080 Speaker 23: down nearly three thy eight hundred at you so, in 1681 01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:04,120 Speaker 23: retail as well. So there's quite a lot of areas 1682 01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:08,720 Speaker 23: that have very much been hit. Interestingly, and I think encouragingly, 1683 01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:11,559 Speaker 23: the healthcare sector is the one area that has seen 1684 01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:15,799 Speaker 23: some pre sustained jobs growth, over ten thousand more jobs 1685 01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:18,360 Speaker 23: in healthcare than a year ago, so that area really 1686 01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:19,120 Speaker 23: holding us up. 1687 01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:22,000 Speaker 2: And so when do we expect to hit five percent unemployment? 1688 01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:26,000 Speaker 23: Well, we'll have the numbers out next Wednesday, which we 1689 01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:29,040 Speaker 23: expect at the moment will show that five percent unemployment rate, 1690 01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:31,800 Speaker 23: and we think it will then continue to increase just 1691 01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:34,400 Speaker 23: a bit more over the next couple of quarters. We 1692 01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:36,880 Speaker 23: think that the unemployment rate now is going to peak 1693 01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:39,720 Speaker 23: at around five point four percent around mid next year. 1694 01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:43,160 Speaker 23: And it's just in that awful period now heitherwhere between 1695 01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:45,680 Speaker 23: now and sort of mid next year, as people are 1696 01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:50,280 Speaker 23: slowly but surely moving off their higher fixed income mortgages 1697 01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:53,519 Speaker 23: through to those lower rates, you'll start to get more 1698 01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:55,360 Speaker 23: and more people that are still going to be losing 1699 01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:58,799 Speaker 23: their jobs until there is more support. There's more stimulus 1700 01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:01,240 Speaker 23: coming into the economy. So we're in a very tough, 1701 01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:03,320 Speaker 23: very tricky period for the economy at the moment. 1702 01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:05,920 Speaker 2: Good stuff, Brad, Thanks so much appreciated, Brad Olson, Infametrics 1703 01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:08,479 Speaker 2: principal economists. Here the rubbish. If you're offering a bigger 1704 01:20:08,560 --> 01:20:11,320 Speaker 2: salary which includes a performance bonus, then of course you 1705 01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:13,719 Speaker 2: can ask for a base salary reduction. As long as 1706 01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:16,439 Speaker 2: the target performance and pay has not changed. You can 1707 01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:18,240 Speaker 2: ask for the sacrifice in the base with the biggest 1708 01:20:18,280 --> 01:20:20,439 Speaker 2: salary for overall performance. Thank you for that, Dave six 1709 01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:21,120 Speaker 2: twenty three. 1710 01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:26,120 Speaker 1: Everything from SMEs to the big corporates.

This arrived, So 1721 01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:53,920 Speaker 2: this is the kind of thing that's arriving in the career. 1722 01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:57,040 Speaker 2: So the husband said, what do you want for your birthday? 1723 01:20:57,040 --> 01:20:58,640 Speaker 2: And I said, I wanted I want to watch that 1724 01:20:58,680 --> 01:21:00,840 Speaker 2: you can put on you can go in the water with, 1725 01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:02,559 Speaker 2: because there's a lot of like going in the water 1726 01:21:02,600 --> 01:21:04,360 Speaker 2: with a can and then you lose you lose the 1727 01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:06,040 Speaker 2: track of time and stuff like that. So he bought 1728 01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:09,240 Speaker 2: me the latest Apple Watch, which I don't even want 1729 01:21:09,280 --> 01:21:11,400 Speaker 2: to know how much a costs do not tell me. Anyway, 1730 01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:13,840 Speaker 2: that was my birthday present. Took me forever together. That 1731 01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:16,080 Speaker 2: was like mid September. That took me forever to get 1732 01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:17,400 Speaker 2: the thing up and running, but I got it up 1733 01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:20,200 Speaker 2: and running this weekend. For various reasons. Anyway, now I'm 1734 01:21:20,240 --> 01:21:24,240 Speaker 2: interested in what smart watches can do. Right, really interesting 1735 01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:26,240 Speaker 2: prediction that they are soon going to be able to 1736 01:21:26,280 --> 01:21:29,080 Speaker 2: actually predict whether you've got Parkinson's or not. And it's 1737 01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:31,439 Speaker 2: because these watches, apparently, and I don't know if it's 1738 01:21:31,439 --> 01:21:34,960 Speaker 2: specifically the Apple necessarily, but the general concept of a 1739 01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:39,000 Speaker 2: smart watch can detect subtle abnormalities that you're not even 1740 01:21:39,040 --> 01:21:43,559 Speaker 2: aware of, like a changing your walking pattern, and that can, 1741 01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:45,960 Speaker 2: according to at least one study that was published last 1742 01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:49,120 Speaker 2: year that can predict Parkinson's just because you start walking 1743 01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:51,720 Speaker 2: a little bit funny up to seven times earlier than 1744 01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:53,280 Speaker 2: a doctor would be able to tell you that you 1745 01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,800 Speaker 2: have it. Plus, obviously it combines with a whole bunch 1746 01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:58,240 Speaker 2: of other data that would be collecting as well, like apparently, 1747 01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:00,519 Speaker 2: if you're going to get Parkinson's, you'll sleep starts getting 1748 01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:03,080 Speaker 2: a little bit funny, so it'll record your sleep data 1749 01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:04,800 Speaker 2: as well, and it'll put the two things together and 1750 01:22:04,840 --> 01:22:09,519 Speaker 2: go whoa watch out apparently for people with epilepsy might 1751 01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:11,960 Speaker 2: be able to predict that a seizure is coming before 1752 01:22:11,960 --> 01:22:14,439 Speaker 2: it arrives, so that because you can't stop the seizure, 1753 01:22:14,479 --> 01:22:16,000 Speaker 2: but you don't want to have a bad accident or 1754 01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:17,720 Speaker 2: fall or something like that. And they do that by 1755 01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:21,520 Speaker 2: measuring these watches, the heart rate variability, the skin temperature, 1756 01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:24,880 Speaker 2: you know, like the sweating that's going on and stuff 1757 01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:28,720 Speaker 2: like that. And apparently now there's a hospital in Switzerland 1758 01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:31,160 Speaker 2: that's going to start giving out watches, these smart watches 1759 01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:33,439 Speaker 2: to patients like a few weeks before they have surgery, 1760 01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:37,280 Speaker 2: so that it can predict and prevent any complications from 1761 01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:39,600 Speaker 2: going under general anesthetic. It can see that something's a 1762 01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:41,719 Speaker 2: bit funny there. This person's at risk of blah blah 1763 01:22:41,760 --> 01:22:44,240 Speaker 2: with their lungs or whatever, and be able to kind 1764 01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:47,240 Speaker 2: of get on top of it before before it happens. 1765 01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:49,240 Speaker 2: How I'm gonna live forever. We've got a what a 1766 01:22:49,240 --> 01:22:51,880 Speaker 2: smart watch. You're never gonna die. Headline's next. 1767 01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:59,040 Speaker 3: If it's to do with money, it matters to you. 1768 01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:03,120 Speaker 1: The business with Heather duperic Alan and my HR the 1769 01:23:03,320 --> 01:23:07,040 Speaker 1: HR solution for busy sms on News Talk ZB. 1770 01:23:12,640 --> 01:23:14,400 Speaker 2: Andder Brady out of the UK with us in ten 1771 01:23:14,439 --> 01:23:16,880 Speaker 2: minutes time. Heather, there have been no deaths on New 1772 01:23:16,920 --> 01:23:20,719 Speaker 2: Zealand roads over the label weekend. Hopefully Golden Balls doesn't 1773 01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:23,439 Speaker 2: stats Simian Brown doesn't stuff up the stuff up Labour's 1774 01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:26,160 Speaker 2: speed settings by raising speed limits and thus killing people. 1775 01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:29,400 Speaker 2: Labor has proved again that speed kills. Thank you, Wayne. 1776 01:23:30,479 --> 01:23:33,200 Speaker 2: I thought about this today, thought why the speed I 1777 01:23:33,200 --> 01:23:36,280 Speaker 2: wonder why the road toll was so low, and I 1778 01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:38,479 Speaker 2: did wonder. I thought it could be speeding, and then 1779 01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:40,080 Speaker 2: I was like, no, can't. It can't be the speed 1780 01:23:40,120 --> 01:23:43,000 Speaker 2: limits because as we know, speeding is actually not one 1781 01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:46,120 Speaker 2: of the biggest contributors. Despite what you think, Wayne, to 1782 01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:48,479 Speaker 2: the road toll, it's actually drugs and alcohol. So what 1783 01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:51,160 Speaker 2: was it just us using the roads? Obviously? What was it? 1784 01:23:51,479 --> 01:23:54,639 Speaker 2: I wondered if the Clive, you know, you know Clive 1785 01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:58,320 Speaker 2: with the sideburns from the Dog and Lemon Guide. Clive's 1786 01:23:58,400 --> 01:24:00,719 Speaker 2: theory because he sent out an email us today. Clive's 1787 01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:04,840 Speaker 2: theory is that it's the recession that and it makes 1788 01:24:04,840 --> 01:24:06,599 Speaker 2: some I actually think he might be onto something here. 1789 01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:08,000 Speaker 2: It makes some sense when you don't have a lot 1790 01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:10,040 Speaker 2: of money, you can't go on holidays, so you stay home. 1791 01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:12,800 Speaker 2: So just fewer of us on the roads. And if 1792 01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:14,759 Speaker 2: you went out, if you did actually go away this weekend, 1793 01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:16,360 Speaker 2: you will have noticed the roads. We're not that chockers, 1794 01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:18,120 Speaker 2: So there's probably an element of truth to that. I 1795 01:24:18,160 --> 01:24:19,800 Speaker 2: do also wonder if it's my old mates at the 1796 01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:21,960 Speaker 2: Met Service as well, who were like, it's going to 1797 01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:26,439 Speaker 2: be winter is coming. A whole bunch of people went Airbnb, cancel, 1798 01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:28,800 Speaker 2: now just stay home. Then, so I wonder if it 1799 01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:31,640 Speaker 2: was simply a case of, for various reasons, fewer of 1800 01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:34,759 Speaker 2: us being on the road, therefore not killing ourselves. But Wayne, 1801 01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:36,519 Speaker 2: you go with the speed limit thing, if that makes 1802 01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:38,520 Speaker 2: you feel better twenty two away from seven. 1803 01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:43,000 Speaker 3: The Rural Report on Hither Dupe see Allen. 1804 01:24:43,120 --> 01:24:46,679 Speaker 2: Forget about Jack Tame, forget about Dan Mitchinson, forget about 1805 01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:48,559 Speaker 2: all of those US correspondents who think they know what's 1806 01:24:48,560 --> 01:24:50,559 Speaker 2: happening on the ground. Jamie McKay has just come back 1807 01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:52,400 Speaker 2: from the States. He's got the good oil a Jamie. 1808 01:24:53,160 --> 01:24:55,599 Speaker 5: Yeah, and you can forget about water cronkite while you're 1809 01:24:55,600 --> 01:24:55,800 Speaker 5: on it. 1810 01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:58,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly right. So who's going to win there? 1811 01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:02,679 Speaker 5: Come and I spent We spent two weeks, and they're 1812 01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:07,000 Speaker 5: all on the eastern seaboard, New York, Boston, Philadelphia. Not 1813 01:25:07,120 --> 01:25:08,920 Speaker 5: much to do there apart from run up and down 1814 01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:12,280 Speaker 5: the Rocky Steps and Washington will be fair to say, 1815 01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:15,200 Speaker 5: I mean, that's true Blue country. I didn't meet that 1816 01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:19,840 Speaker 5: many Trump voters. I did send you a picture, mind you, Heather, 1817 01:25:20,280 --> 01:25:23,920 Speaker 5: of Michael, the pro Trump uber driver who's got Trump 1818 01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:27,960 Speaker 5: plasted all around the inside and the outside of a 1819 01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:30,719 Speaker 5: zuber in Boston. And in fact, he's got a Trump 1820 01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:33,720 Speaker 5: sort of cutout stuck to the windows screen. And the 1821 01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:38,200 Speaker 5: interesting thing was Michael kept us entertained for the five 1822 01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:40,240 Speaker 5: or ten minutes he took us to get us from 1823 01:25:40,280 --> 01:25:43,040 Speaker 5: our hotel to the train station, and I said, how 1824 01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:44,479 Speaker 5: do you get on when you pull up in this 1825 01:25:44,720 --> 01:25:48,160 Speaker 5: car and there's a Democrat standing on the sideline? He said, well, 1826 01:25:48,200 --> 01:25:50,000 Speaker 5: that actually makes me a lot of money because they 1827 01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:52,120 Speaker 5: don't get in. I wait for them five minutes and 1828 01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:55,800 Speaker 5: then they've got to pay. So maybe there's maybe this 1829 01:25:56,040 --> 01:25:58,680 Speaker 5: method to his madness. And I also sent you a 1830 01:25:58,760 --> 01:26:01,680 Speaker 5: pick heather of a block riding his bike with a 1831 01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:04,840 Speaker 5: big flag or several big flags on the back of 1832 01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:07,880 Speaker 5: his bike, right in front of the Washington Monument in 1833 01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:11,040 Speaker 5: the middle of the Washington Mall there with Harris and 1834 01:26:11,200 --> 01:26:14,360 Speaker 5: Waltz on that one. So look, it's flip of a coin. 1835 01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:17,280 Speaker 5: But I think the seven and I've heard you talking 1836 01:26:17,320 --> 01:26:23,400 Speaker 5: about this as well, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, 1837 01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:26,439 Speaker 5: the seven swing states, Trump's ahead and five of them 1838 01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:31,240 Speaker 5: at the moment. I've got a sneaking suspicion, which might 1839 01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:33,680 Speaker 5: not be good for New Zealand, that Trump's going to 1840 01:26:33,720 --> 01:26:33,960 Speaker 5: win this. 1841 01:26:34,439 --> 01:26:36,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I suspect. So I suspect that's what's going to happen. 1842 01:26:36,920 --> 01:26:39,360 Speaker 2: Are people talking about because the other thing that kind 1843 01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:42,160 Speaker 2: of swings things in his favor. Is that he is 1844 01:26:42,240 --> 01:26:45,519 Speaker 2: perceived to be stronger on the economy, and the economy 1845 01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:47,160 Speaker 2: is what's weighing on people's minds. I mean, is that 1846 01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:48,720 Speaker 2: the vibe that you were getting over there, that this 1847 01:26:48,880 --> 01:26:50,360 Speaker 2: is the thing that's plaguing people the most. 1848 01:26:51,120 --> 01:26:53,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think they all accept that Trump is a 1849 01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:57,559 Speaker 5: flawed individual, probably a very flawed individual, but at least, 1850 01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:01,200 Speaker 5: and I'm certainly not pro Trump, but at least when 1851 01:27:01,240 --> 01:27:04,479 Speaker 5: he speaks, he kind of says something. And Carmal is 1852 01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:07,719 Speaker 5: probably a wonderfully nice person. And I'll get in trouble 1853 01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:10,320 Speaker 5: by the liberal left for saying this as well. But 1854 01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:13,519 Speaker 5: I've watched a lot of her on the US cable 1855 01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:16,639 Speaker 5: channels while I was over there, and her biggest problem 1856 01:27:16,760 --> 01:27:19,840 Speaker 5: is she doesn't actually say anything. She might tell a 1857 01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:24,280 Speaker 5: three minute words cell she's annoying. Whereas Trump, you know, 1858 01:27:24,439 --> 01:27:26,960 Speaker 5: he makes all these promises, but at least she kind 1859 01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:29,960 Speaker 5: of he's put a peg in the sand. And yes, 1860 01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:33,639 Speaker 5: I do think to your point that the big issues 1861 01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:37,120 Speaker 5: are the cost of living, the economy, and don't underestimate 1862 01:27:38,439 --> 01:27:41,920 Speaker 5: the migrant issue. That's the one that people were talking. 1863 01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:42,240 Speaker 4: To me about. 1864 01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:44,240 Speaker 5: We're going to vote Trump because he's going to build 1865 01:27:44,280 --> 01:27:46,600 Speaker 5: a wall. They're going to stop these migrants coming in 1866 01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:49,320 Speaker 5: to our sacrifice cities, and they're going to stop these 1867 01:27:49,400 --> 01:27:52,720 Speaker 5: criminals coming in and murdering Americans. And I think the 1868 01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:56,400 Speaker 5: migrant issue might get him across the line, even if 1869 01:27:56,439 --> 01:27:59,519 Speaker 5: it doesn't mean many illegal Mexicans will get across the 1870 01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:01,880 Speaker 5: line or the border. And one final word from me 1871 01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:04,840 Speaker 5: here that just on that. I read a really interesting 1872 01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:07,960 Speaker 5: story in the New York Times about the big dairy 1873 01:28:08,040 --> 01:28:11,720 Speaker 5: farms in Idaho. It's their biggest dairy farming state, all 1874 01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:14,760 Speaker 5: run by Mexican labor. A lot of that labor is 1875 01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:18,679 Speaker 5: illegal or not certificated or whatever you call it. Trump 1876 01:28:18,720 --> 01:28:20,760 Speaker 5: says on day one, I'm going to send them all home. 1877 01:28:21,240 --> 01:28:23,680 Speaker 5: No one will be left in the United States to 1878 01:28:23,800 --> 01:28:27,000 Speaker 5: do the hard yards, just as the likes of the 1879 01:28:27,280 --> 01:28:30,320 Speaker 5: Filipinos do here in this country with our dairy industry 1880 01:28:30,439 --> 01:28:33,640 Speaker 5: because Kiwi's and Americans are getting lazier by the day 1881 01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:35,040 Speaker 5: and don't want to do the hard yards. 1882 01:28:35,200 --> 01:28:37,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, very interesting. You know what you didn't see me 1883 01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:39,599 Speaker 2: was the picture of yourself with the old Trump hat. 1884 01:28:42,560 --> 01:28:44,240 Speaker 5: Well that was meant to that. I mean, that was 1885 01:28:44,360 --> 01:28:45,639 Speaker 5: like a private joke culture. 1886 01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:49,679 Speaker 2: It was to me, you've got you've got the orange 1887 01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:51,639 Speaker 2: hair sticking out the top, and what does the hats 1888 01:28:51,680 --> 01:28:54,160 Speaker 2: It's just like a Trump like a Trump visor type things. 1889 01:28:54,240 --> 01:28:54,280 Speaker 12: It. 1890 01:28:54,320 --> 01:28:56,200 Speaker 5: Well, look I no, no, no, it's actually a Trump 1891 01:28:56,320 --> 01:28:58,560 Speaker 5: cap with the orange hair on top. I bought it 1892 01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:01,599 Speaker 5: from my son, who has some real issues in his life. 1893 01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:04,439 Speaker 5: One of them he's a mad keen Trump supporter. So 1894 01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:06,519 Speaker 5: I bought it for him and I just tried it on, 1895 01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:09,280 Speaker 5: took a poke coourse and he took a peck and 1896 01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:11,640 Speaker 5: next thing I know, it's on Facebook. So you've just 1897 01:29:11,680 --> 01:29:14,560 Speaker 5: got to be careful in this day of this, in 1898 01:29:14,680 --> 01:29:16,840 Speaker 5: this day and age, Heather, that should have never have 1899 01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:19,559 Speaker 5: been That should never have been leaked to you. Cars 1900 01:29:19,600 --> 01:29:21,439 Speaker 5: on the state, so to be suing you right now. 1901 01:29:21,479 --> 01:29:23,160 Speaker 2: Yeah too right, and you know, you know what would happen. 1902 01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:25,040 Speaker 2: Simon Wilson at the Herald will see it and be like, 1903 01:29:25,200 --> 01:29:28,120 Speaker 2: why did Jamie McKay endorse Donald Trump? That's what that 1904 01:29:28,160 --> 01:29:30,720 Speaker 2: would become. Jamie McKay, thank you, nice to have you 1905 01:29:30,840 --> 01:29:34,240 Speaker 2: back Host of the Country, obviously, Heather. Yesterday, the returning 1906 01:29:34,280 --> 01:29:36,479 Speaker 2: traffic was backed up from Walkworth to the Brindou and 1907 01:29:36,520 --> 01:29:39,000 Speaker 2: so there was no opportunity to speed. Well, there you go. 1908 01:29:40,200 --> 01:29:42,120 Speaker 2: I mean that lends itself to the thank you debro. 1909 01:29:42,240 --> 01:29:44,040 Speaker 2: That lends itself to the speeding debate, which I don't 1910 01:29:44,040 --> 01:29:46,000 Speaker 2: buy into. But yet, maybe you can't go fast when 1911 01:29:46,040 --> 01:29:47,360 Speaker 2: you can't even move. 1912 01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:49,000 Speaker 4: It looks like. 1913 01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:50,960 Speaker 2: People are keen on buying houses again. By the way, 1914 01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:54,880 Speaker 2: after that OCR cut earlier this month, real estate Dot, 1915 01:29:54,920 --> 01:29:57,240 Speaker 2: Coda and Zed put some figures out today showed after 1916 01:29:57,320 --> 01:29:59,080 Speaker 2: the carts.

This is an incredible story for 1938 01:30:52,240 --> 01:30:55,599 Speaker 12: anyone who hasn't followed it. About twenty two tons of top, 1939 01:30:55,760 --> 01:31:00,360 Speaker 12: top class Welsh and English cheddar has been stolen by 1940 01:31:00,479 --> 01:31:03,320 Speaker 12: scammers in London. Now the victims of all this is 1941 01:31:03,320 --> 01:31:04,000 Speaker 12: a company. 1942 01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:04,920 Speaker 3: Called Neil's Yard. 1943 01:31:05,400 --> 01:31:08,800 Speaker 12: They offer a very very good British dairy produce out 1944 01:31:08,800 --> 01:31:12,160 Speaker 12: of London. Six hundred thousand dollars gone. It's twenty two 1945 01:31:12,320 --> 01:31:16,320 Speaker 12: tons of cheese. And this was a very elaborate crime 1946 01:31:16,840 --> 01:31:20,559 Speaker 12: started in July. The name of a person who's very 1947 01:31:20,600 --> 01:31:23,840 Speaker 12: well known in the cheese industry in Europe, a French person. 1948 01:31:24,360 --> 01:31:28,000 Speaker 12: They imitated them and they knew a lot about the 1949 01:31:28,120 --> 01:31:32,479 Speaker 12: cheese sector, how deals are put together, how cheese is 1950 01:31:32,560 --> 01:31:37,479 Speaker 12: distributed and financed, and ultimately they had delivery of twenty 1951 01:31:37,520 --> 01:31:40,960 Speaker 12: two tons of top class cheddar to a warehouse in 1952 01:31:41,040 --> 01:31:44,000 Speaker 12: London and the payment never followed through. And of course 1953 01:31:44,080 --> 01:31:47,000 Speaker 12: then at that point the company Neil's Yard, were ringing 1954 01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:49,840 Speaker 12: this French person who eventually when they got hold of 1955 01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:52,080 Speaker 12: the real person, they said, no, no, no, I've never 1956 01:31:52,240 --> 01:31:54,800 Speaker 12: ordered twenty two tons of cheese off you, and they 1957 01:31:54,840 --> 01:31:57,679 Speaker 12: realized it was the victim of a very elaborate scam. 1958 01:31:58,160 --> 01:32:00,479 Speaker 12: So police are on the case and what's happened now 1959 01:32:00,600 --> 01:32:04,040 Speaker 12: is Niel's Yard, to their credit, they have paid every 1960 01:32:04,120 --> 01:32:07,760 Speaker 12: single producer who provided the cheese. These are small producers, 1961 01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:11,000 Speaker 12: one in Wales, two in England, and the public reaction 1962 01:32:11,120 --> 01:32:12,320 Speaker 12: has been extraordinary. 1963 01:32:12,400 --> 01:32:12,920 Speaker 4: But there you go. 1964 01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:15,040 Speaker 12: There's an awful lot of money in posh cheese. 1965 01:32:15,840 --> 01:32:18,080 Speaker 2: Who I mean, like, how if you're the receiver, if 1966 01:32:18,120 --> 01:32:20,880 Speaker 2: you're the skemma who's got twenty two tons of cheese, 1967 01:32:20,960 --> 01:32:22,840 Speaker 2: how on earth are you going to sell that and 1968 01:32:22,960 --> 01:32:23,800 Speaker 2: make a buck off it. 1969 01:32:24,920 --> 01:32:26,680 Speaker 12: I think it's out of the UK already. I think 1970 01:32:26,720 --> 01:32:27,720 Speaker 12: it was gone the next day. 1971 01:32:27,960 --> 01:32:28,680 Speaker 4: Apparently it can. 1972 01:32:28,680 --> 01:32:30,960 Speaker 12: Be stored in the right conditions for eighteen months. The 1973 01:32:31,040 --> 01:32:34,160 Speaker 12: newspapers reckon this is organized crime and it could be 1974 01:32:34,280 --> 01:32:37,000 Speaker 12: on its way to Russia as we speak. Who would have. 1975 01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:38,559 Speaker 2: Thought you could make the cheese off the cheese? 1976 01:32:39,320 --> 01:32:39,559 Speaker 4: Listen? 1977 01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:41,240 Speaker 2: Are you going to get pinged by the Texas tomorrow? 1978 01:32:41,240 --> 01:32:41,960 Speaker 2: Are you in trouble? 1979 01:32:43,080 --> 01:32:46,200 Speaker 12: I think every single person in the UK is in 1980 01:32:46,360 --> 01:32:48,759 Speaker 12: for a difficult day tomorrow and the budget comes. Rachel 1981 01:32:48,800 --> 01:32:51,320 Speaker 12: Reeves and kir Starmer have been quite blunt about this. 1982 01:32:51,880 --> 01:32:55,559 Speaker 12: They claim they inherited a forty four billion dollar black 1983 01:32:55,600 --> 01:32:59,240 Speaker 12: hole in public finances from the Conservatives, and Starmer is 1984 01:32:59,280 --> 01:33:01,760 Speaker 12: saying that right, we're fixing this now. We're not going 1985 01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:03,800 Speaker 12: to kick the can down the road. He says that's 1986 01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:06,800 Speaker 12: been going on for years and years, duping the British public. 1987 01:33:07,320 --> 01:33:09,960 Speaker 12: So Starmar is biting the bullet. And I think every 1988 01:33:10,040 --> 01:33:13,880 Speaker 12: single person who's working or has shares or stocks or 1989 01:33:13,960 --> 01:33:17,519 Speaker 12: inheritance tax to pay, everyone will be paying more tomorrow. 1990 01:33:17,520 --> 01:33:19,800 Speaker 12: I see they're even putting up bus fares. So bus 1991 01:33:19,880 --> 01:33:22,759 Speaker 12: fares across the UK are counted four dollars. The whisper 1992 01:33:22,920 --> 01:33:25,640 Speaker 12: is tomorrow they go up to six dollars, So no 1993 01:33:25,720 --> 01:33:27,960 Speaker 12: one will escape the pain. It is happening tomorrow. 1994 01:33:28,080 --> 01:33:29,800 Speaker 2: Is it just going to make an unpopular man even 1995 01:33:29,840 --> 01:33:30,479 Speaker 2: less popular. 1996 01:33:32,040 --> 01:33:35,200 Speaker 12: Look, I think he doesn't care about popularity because he's 1997 01:33:35,200 --> 01:33:38,320 Speaker 12: got another four and a half years. But ultimately Britain 1998 01:33:38,439 --> 01:33:41,880 Speaker 12: needs to be fixed. National health services in absolute shambles. 1999 01:33:42,200 --> 01:33:45,240 Speaker 12: The roads I've driven on roads in Kenya with fewer 2000 01:33:45,280 --> 01:33:49,280 Speaker 12: potholes than some places in Oxfordshire. You know they've left 2001 01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:52,000 Speaker 12: a mess. And Starmer says he's the man to fix it. 2002 01:33:52,080 --> 01:33:54,760 Speaker 12: But I think it will dent his popularity, no doubt 2003 01:33:54,760 --> 01:33:59,240 Speaker 12: about that. Rachel Reaves, Britain's first ever female chancellor. What 2004 01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:02,479 Speaker 12: away to make your announcement with a first labor budget 2005 01:34:02,520 --> 01:34:03,280 Speaker 12: in fifteen years? 2006 01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:07,360 Speaker 2: Yeah too, righty?

They used to walk this 2011 01:34:16,960 --> 01:34:20,080 Speaker 12: league for years and years under Alex Ferguson. The thing 2012 01:34:20,160 --> 01:34:23,240 Speaker 12: I'm shocked about is how much compensation he's due. Apparently 2013 01:34:23,680 --> 01:34:26,760 Speaker 12: twenty six mil end z. That was what was left 2014 01:34:26,840 --> 01:34:28,560 Speaker 12: on his contract and that's what they're going to have 2015 01:34:28,640 --> 01:34:30,280 Speaker 12: to pay, and I tell you we'll be very angry 2016 01:34:30,280 --> 01:34:30,600 Speaker 12: about that. 2017 01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:32,160 Speaker 4: Heather the two hundred and. 2018 01:34:32,200 --> 01:34:35,680 Speaker 12: Fifty office and canteen staff and background people who got 2019 01:34:35,720 --> 01:34:38,559 Speaker 12: the sack in the summer. In this cost saving measure, 2020 01:34:38,960 --> 01:34:41,280 Speaker 12: I mean getting rid of two hundred and fifty ordinary 2021 01:34:41,320 --> 01:34:44,160 Speaker 12: people that can't come anywhere near what they're paying this 2022 01:34:44,280 --> 01:34:48,439 Speaker 12: guy in compensation. But ultimately Manchester United are way way 2023 01:34:48,479 --> 01:34:51,960 Speaker 12: off the pace. I mean, big global, once proud name 2024 01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:55,880 Speaker 12: that dominated English soccer and now they're just a minor club. 2025 01:34:56,200 --> 01:34:57,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, giz, it is quite a fall from grass I 2026 01:34:57,760 --> 01:35:01,120 Speaker 2: thinks Indy appreciated into Brady correspondent.
