1 00:00:09,133 --> 00:00:12,693 Speaker 1: You're listening to a podcast from News Talks'd be follow 2 00:00:12,773 --> 00:00:16,213 Speaker 1: this and our wide range of podcast now on iHeartRadio. 3 00:00:17,053 --> 00:00:21,293 Speaker 2: All right, welcome into the Mattin Tyler Podcast. Maddie was 4 00:00:21,332 --> 00:00:23,893 Speaker 2: away today. He was entertaining the good people of the 5 00:00:24,093 --> 00:00:27,653 Speaker 2: Air Force and Ohakia and having a ball of a time. 6 00:00:27,653 --> 00:00:29,772 Speaker 2: He sent through a photo of being in the cockpit 7 00:00:29,813 --> 00:00:32,493 Speaker 2: of one of the forced aircraft's done up. That was 8 00:00:32,493 --> 00:00:34,092 Speaker 2: a good idea. He was having a good time though. 9 00:00:34,093 --> 00:00:36,732 Speaker 2: But the show today had some great chat about kids 10 00:00:37,013 --> 00:00:39,732 Speaker 2: and politics. When do you start talking to your kids 11 00:00:39,773 --> 00:00:42,413 Speaker 2: about politics? How young is too young? Do you rip 12 00:00:42,452 --> 00:00:45,653 Speaker 2: him out of school? If the protest is right? That 13 00:00:45,893 --> 00:00:48,133 Speaker 2: was after one o'clock. That was a good chat, got 14 00:00:48,213 --> 00:00:50,893 Speaker 2: a bit gnarly. Then after two o'clock we talked about 15 00:00:50,893 --> 00:00:55,652 Speaker 2: compensation for businesses being mucked around by roadworks, as is 16 00:00:55,693 --> 00:00:59,053 Speaker 2: the case in Thornton, Key and Wellington. Then a massive 17 00:00:59,173 --> 00:01:04,053 Speaker 2: chat about inflatable tents. I wasn't convinced inflatable tents. When 18 00:01:04,093 --> 00:01:05,893 Speaker 2: you talk about, you know, tents that you've got to 19 00:01:05,933 --> 00:01:09,093 Speaker 2: pump up, sounds pretty flimsy to me. But I owe 20 00:01:09,173 --> 00:01:11,053 Speaker 2: my the amount of people that came through saying they 21 00:01:11,133 --> 00:01:14,932 Speaker 2: the best thing since sliced bread. Good chat anyway, We 22 00:01:15,053 --> 00:01:18,333 Speaker 2: will catch you again tomorrow, see you then. 23 00:01:19,292 --> 00:01:21,053 Speaker 3: Talking with you all afternoon. 24 00:01:21,253 --> 00:01:25,053 Speaker 1: It's Matt Heathen Taylor Adams Afternoons New for twenty twenty 25 00:01:25,133 --> 00:01:28,853 Speaker 1: four News Talk said, be good Afternoons. 26 00:01:28,893 --> 00:01:31,613 Speaker 2: You welcome into the show seven past one. I hope 27 00:01:31,613 --> 00:01:34,973 Speaker 2: you're doing well on this Thursday. No Matt Today he 28 00:01:35,253 --> 00:01:39,373 Speaker 2: is at Ohakia Airbase inspiring the next generation of acadets. 29 00:01:39,373 --> 00:01:41,732 Speaker 2: Can you believe that? But he's having a ball of 30 00:01:41,733 --> 00:01:43,933 Speaker 2: a time. He sent through a photo to all of us. 31 00:01:43,973 --> 00:01:45,893 Speaker 2: It looks like he's in the cockpit of some sort 32 00:01:45,932 --> 00:01:48,333 Speaker 2: of aircraft and he looks like a cat in the 33 00:01:48,333 --> 00:01:51,293 Speaker 2: candy store, massive smile on his face. He's having the 34 00:01:51,293 --> 00:01:53,373 Speaker 2: time of his life. He will be back tomorrow, so 35 00:01:53,373 --> 00:01:56,253 Speaker 2: don't worry about that. Will end the week in style. 36 00:01:56,333 --> 00:01:58,693 Speaker 2: But onto today's show. So I've got a bit of 37 00:01:58,733 --> 00:02:01,933 Speaker 2: a problem, and I'll talk more about why I've got 38 00:02:01,933 --> 00:02:05,373 Speaker 2: this problem after three o'clock. But through a series of 39 00:02:05,613 --> 00:02:08,853 Speaker 2: unfortunate events, the holiday home we had books had to 40 00:02:08,893 --> 00:02:11,253 Speaker 2: be canceled. We lost me and my partner made quite 41 00:02:11,293 --> 00:02:13,613 Speaker 2: a bit of money, but we are now having to 42 00:02:13,773 --> 00:02:17,373 Speaker 2: camp over the summer periods and I have found myself 43 00:02:17,413 --> 00:02:20,013 Speaker 2: looking for a tent. The tent we did have it 44 00:02:20,053 --> 00:02:22,013 Speaker 2: was an okay tent, but I did the stupid thing, 45 00:02:22,333 --> 00:02:25,093 Speaker 2: didn't clear it out properly and left some moisture in 46 00:02:25,093 --> 00:02:26,813 Speaker 2: there and it went moldy. I had to tuck the 47 00:02:26,853 --> 00:02:29,933 Speaker 2: thing out. But as I was looking for tents, everybody, 48 00:02:30,373 --> 00:02:35,213 Speaker 2: everybody are talking about inflatable tents and I don't know. 49 00:02:35,773 --> 00:02:38,453 Speaker 2: I don't know if I buy them. So I'd love 50 00:02:38,493 --> 00:02:41,573 Speaker 2: to hear from you about inflatable tents after three o'clock. 51 00:02:41,653 --> 00:02:43,853 Speaker 2: Are they all that they are cracked up to be? 52 00:02:44,333 --> 00:02:46,813 Speaker 2: To me? When I think about inflatable tents, I think flimsy, 53 00:02:47,252 --> 00:02:49,653 Speaker 2: it's going to blow away in a stiff breeze. Is 54 00:02:49,693 --> 00:02:54,173 Speaker 2: it really gonna cope if it starts barking down in 55 00:02:54,293 --> 00:02:57,293 Speaker 2: mid jan I'd love to hear from you on inflatable 56 00:02:57,373 --> 00:03:00,093 Speaker 2: tents after three o'clock. The text number nine two nine 57 00:03:00,133 --> 00:03:03,493 Speaker 2: to two. If you've gone inflatable? Why and are they awesome? 58 00:03:03,573 --> 00:03:07,773 Speaker 2: After two o'clock, construction crews have begun tearing up already 59 00:03:07,813 --> 00:03:11,293 Speaker 2: completed works on Thornton Key after the Wellington City Council 60 00:03:11,333 --> 00:03:15,653 Speaker 2: called for a rework of some sections. So Thornton Key, 61 00:03:16,293 --> 00:03:17,972 Speaker 2: as you may or may not know, leeds into the 62 00:03:17,972 --> 00:03:20,213 Speaker 2: Wellington CBD from the north and it is a hub 63 00:03:20,413 --> 00:03:23,693 Speaker 2: for home weares and furniture shops, among a range of 64 00:03:23,733 --> 00:03:27,373 Speaker 2: local businesses. So on Wednesday morning, those construction crews went 65 00:03:27,413 --> 00:03:29,973 Speaker 2: back and started tearing up an already completed section of 66 00:03:30,053 --> 00:03:33,373 Speaker 2: the project. Wolf Store Design Center owner Paul Robinson said, 67 00:03:33,453 --> 00:03:35,733 Speaker 2: just two months on from completing some of the work, 68 00:03:36,053 --> 00:03:38,933 Speaker 2: they were already changing it. He says, I quote, this 69 00:03:38,973 --> 00:03:42,453 Speaker 2: is utter madness, and I agree with him. And here's why. 70 00:03:42,493 --> 00:03:46,733 Speaker 2: The Wellington Council said that the rework was required as 71 00:03:46,813 --> 00:03:52,013 Speaker 2: the Council's Regulatory Process Committee decided to remove some of 72 00:03:52,013 --> 00:03:55,612 Speaker 2: the raised safety platforms. So they built these raised safety platforms, 73 00:03:55,853 --> 00:03:58,293 Speaker 2: how to change of heart then decided they needed to 74 00:03:58,333 --> 00:04:04,333 Speaker 2: remove them. That is madness, isn't it? For those businesses 75 00:04:04,373 --> 00:04:07,533 Speaker 2: in that area, they are now stuffed for god knows 76 00:04:07,573 --> 00:04:09,813 Speaker 2: how long a again they put up with the original 77 00:04:09,853 --> 00:04:14,333 Speaker 2: works had a completion date in sight, and boom counsels 78 00:04:14,333 --> 00:04:16,173 Speaker 2: coming back to dig it all up because they changed 79 00:04:16,213 --> 00:04:20,533 Speaker 2: their mind. So at that point I think they should 80 00:04:20,533 --> 00:04:24,933 Speaker 2: be compensated. And I know this argument about compensation when 81 00:04:24,973 --> 00:04:26,813 Speaker 2: it comes to road works. So geared's a bit tricky. 82 00:04:26,933 --> 00:04:29,093 Speaker 2: Can open up a can of worms, but when they've 83 00:04:29,093 --> 00:04:31,453 Speaker 2: stuffed up like this, they've changed their mind. That to 84 00:04:31,493 --> 00:04:34,133 Speaker 2: me is a mistake on the council's part. Those businesses 85 00:04:34,173 --> 00:04:37,093 Speaker 2: should be compensated. But keen to hear what you say 86 00:04:37,093 --> 00:04:39,533 Speaker 2: on that after two o'clock, because right now let's have 87 00:04:39,573 --> 00:04:43,933 Speaker 2: a chat about kids in politics. Associate Associate Education Minister 88 00:04:44,013 --> 00:04:47,493 Speaker 2: David Seymour is disappointed. He says some teachers have gone 89 00:04:47,533 --> 00:04:50,813 Speaker 2: against his advice and issued their own guidelines encouraging students 90 00:04:50,813 --> 00:04:54,973 Speaker 2: to skip school and join the hikoy. One school actively 91 00:04:55,093 --> 00:04:58,053 Speaker 2: encouraged it. Another said children who joined the hekoy would 92 00:04:58,093 --> 00:05:01,973 Speaker 2: have their absences logged as justified. So, David Seymour told 93 00:05:02,013 --> 00:05:04,173 Speaker 2: The Herald parents who took their kids out of school 94 00:05:04,173 --> 00:05:06,893 Speaker 2: to go on their hekkoy would have to explain their absences. 95 00:05:06,933 --> 00:05:10,053 Speaker 2: I quote. Any student who reaches a clearly defined threshold 96 00:05:10,093 --> 00:05:13,853 Speaker 2: of days absence will trigger an appropriate and proportionate response 97 00:05:13,893 --> 00:05:17,093 Speaker 2: from their school and the ministry. My expectation is that 98 00:05:17,133 --> 00:05:22,813 Speaker 2: schools will treat students protesting as explained but unjustified, Seymour said. 99 00:05:23,653 --> 00:05:26,293 Speaker 2: Now I do agree. I don't think it's appropriate for 100 00:05:26,293 --> 00:05:28,413 Speaker 2: schools to have a stance on protest one way or 101 00:05:28,453 --> 00:05:31,693 Speaker 2: the other, particularly at the primary level. Whatever that protest 102 00:05:31,733 --> 00:05:35,773 Speaker 2: may be, whether that's the Hikoy climate marches or groundswell, 103 00:05:36,173 --> 00:05:38,853 Speaker 2: doesn't matter. But what I want to talk to you 104 00:05:38,893 --> 00:05:40,733 Speaker 2: about is when is the right age to talk to 105 00:05:40,813 --> 00:05:44,653 Speaker 2: kids about politics? At what point do you want them 106 00:05:44,693 --> 00:05:47,493 Speaker 2: to start thinking for themselves, making up their own mind 107 00:05:47,493 --> 00:05:49,653 Speaker 2: about that, how they feel about the big issues the 108 00:05:49,693 --> 00:05:52,413 Speaker 2: world around them? Do you talk to your kids about politics? 109 00:05:52,413 --> 00:05:56,053 Speaker 2: And at what age? For many parents, I think there 110 00:05:56,053 --> 00:05:58,933 Speaker 2: may be a sense of pride in their child if 111 00:05:58,973 --> 00:06:02,333 Speaker 2: they are showing some competency and passion on a big 112 00:06:02,373 --> 00:06:06,813 Speaker 2: social issue. You may think that there's some big holes 113 00:06:07,213 --> 00:06:10,293 Speaker 2: in their rationale and world view. And at that point 114 00:06:10,933 --> 00:06:13,813 Speaker 2: did you bring that up at the dinner table? Political 115 00:06:13,813 --> 00:06:16,373 Speaker 2: debate within a family I think can be healthy, can 116 00:06:16,453 --> 00:06:18,213 Speaker 2: be you don't want to let it get too far. 117 00:06:19,973 --> 00:06:24,093 Speaker 2: I remember a teacher telling us as kids, I would 118 00:06:24,133 --> 00:06:27,773 Speaker 2: have been eight primary school level. They asked with this 119 00:06:27,813 --> 00:06:31,813 Speaker 2: particular teacher asked us to go home and ask our 120 00:06:31,853 --> 00:06:33,733 Speaker 2: parents who they were going to vote for because there 121 00:06:33,773 --> 00:06:35,933 Speaker 2: was election coming up and as an eight year old, 122 00:06:35,973 --> 00:06:38,053 Speaker 2: I had no idea why he wanted us to ask 123 00:06:38,093 --> 00:06:40,373 Speaker 2: our parents this. I'm sure there was a lesson in 124 00:06:40,413 --> 00:06:42,653 Speaker 2: there somewhere, but what I do recall vividly is going 125 00:06:42,653 --> 00:06:45,533 Speaker 2: home talking to Dad and said, hey, Dad, teacher wanted 126 00:06:45,533 --> 00:06:46,973 Speaker 2: me to ask you who you're going to vote for. 127 00:06:47,533 --> 00:06:51,413 Speaker 2: And Dad's response was, it's none of your teacher's business 128 00:06:51,573 --> 00:06:53,773 Speaker 2: who I'm going to vote for. I will tell you, 129 00:06:54,413 --> 00:06:56,693 Speaker 2: but don't you tell your teacher who I'm going to 130 00:06:56,773 --> 00:07:00,893 Speaker 2: vote for. But that sparks something in me instantly as 131 00:07:00,893 --> 00:07:03,533 Speaker 2: an eight year old, I'm thinking, well, clearly this is 132 00:07:03,573 --> 00:07:05,773 Speaker 2: quite important. Dad got a bit upset when I asked 133 00:07:05,853 --> 00:07:09,813 Speaker 2: him that. So clearly politics adults are caring about it 134 00:07:09,853 --> 00:07:12,173 Speaker 2: for a reason. But love to hear from you on 135 00:07:12,253 --> 00:07:15,413 Speaker 2: this one. Kids in politics do they mix a lot 136 00:07:15,453 --> 00:07:18,373 Speaker 2: of people are quite uncomfortable when you see these big protests, 137 00:07:18,413 --> 00:07:21,013 Speaker 2: whatever the protest may be, and you see the pictures 138 00:07:21,053 --> 00:07:23,613 Speaker 2: on Taly, and you see these kids holding placards, and 139 00:07:23,653 --> 00:07:26,853 Speaker 2: their young kids, and you start to wonder, do they 140 00:07:26,893 --> 00:07:30,493 Speaker 2: really understand what this is all about? Do they understand 141 00:07:31,373 --> 00:07:35,333 Speaker 2: what that placard is that they're holding. Sometimes I feel 142 00:07:35,373 --> 00:07:38,533 Speaker 2: that that's just emotional manipulation that they've been dragged along 143 00:07:38,573 --> 00:07:42,213 Speaker 2: to these protests and they don't really understand, but keen 144 00:07:42,253 --> 00:07:43,533 Speaker 2: to hear from you on this. One oh eight, one 145 00:07:43,613 --> 00:07:46,573 Speaker 2: hundred eighty, ten eighty is the number to call. Nine 146 00:07:46,613 --> 00:07:49,493 Speaker 2: two ninety two is the text number. It is thirteen 147 00:07:49,573 --> 00:07:50,093 Speaker 2: past one. 148 00:07:51,613 --> 00:07:55,093 Speaker 1: The big stories, the big issues, the big trends and 149 00:07:55,333 --> 00:07:59,093 Speaker 1: everything in between. Mat Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons you 150 00:07:59,253 --> 00:08:02,133 Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four US talks dead be news. 151 00:08:01,893 --> 00:08:05,453 Speaker 2: Talks, there'd be It is sixteen past one. Kids in politics? 152 00:08:05,453 --> 00:08:08,693 Speaker 2: At what age are you okay with talk to your 153 00:08:08,733 --> 00:08:11,413 Speaker 2: kids about politics, whatever stance they may take. And we 154 00:08:11,493 --> 00:08:14,933 Speaker 2: know children tend to lean towards the left side of 155 00:08:14,973 --> 00:08:17,373 Speaker 2: big social issues. But this is on the back of 156 00:08:17,973 --> 00:08:22,653 Speaker 2: two schools that will one actively encourage their kids to 157 00:08:22,693 --> 00:08:26,813 Speaker 2: take part in this hikoy. Another said that if they 158 00:08:26,813 --> 00:08:30,173 Speaker 2: did attend this hikoy with their parents, their absences would 159 00:08:30,173 --> 00:08:34,693 Speaker 2: be listed as justified. And if we take the hrkoy 160 00:08:35,533 --> 00:08:39,772 Speaker 2: slightly out of the equation, whatever protest is going on, 161 00:08:40,013 --> 00:08:43,612 Speaker 2: whether it is this hikoy or a climate march or groundswell, 162 00:08:45,132 --> 00:08:48,132 Speaker 2: is it appropriate to take young children to those protests? 163 00:08:49,413 --> 00:08:50,932 Speaker 2: Love to hear from you. Oh eight, one hundred and 164 00:08:50,933 --> 00:08:53,933 Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty is the number to call, Sundra. How 165 00:08:53,933 --> 00:08:54,173 Speaker 2: are you? 166 00:08:56,213 --> 00:08:56,693 Speaker 4: How are you? 167 00:08:57,053 --> 00:08:58,373 Speaker 2: I'm good? What's your view on this? 168 00:09:00,053 --> 00:09:03,132 Speaker 4: So to start off with, I grew up in politics. 169 00:09:03,173 --> 00:09:07,292 Speaker 4: My dad was in the local council and highly involved 170 00:09:07,453 --> 00:09:11,493 Speaker 4: in national elections of support for what was Social credit 171 00:09:11,573 --> 00:09:14,573 Speaker 4: back then in the Ring of Pickie. So I grew 172 00:09:14,612 --> 00:09:17,612 Speaker 4: up in politics. It was discussed very frerely and openly 173 00:09:17,693 --> 00:09:20,533 Speaker 4: growing up. As I grew up, I also ran for 174 00:09:20,612 --> 00:09:22,933 Speaker 4: local council but I didn't get in, but really happy. 175 00:09:23,293 --> 00:09:27,252 Speaker 4: I brought up my kids always talking about politics. Of 176 00:09:27,533 --> 00:09:30,172 Speaker 4: me and my three kids, we all vote for different 177 00:09:30,252 --> 00:09:34,293 Speaker 4: parties and we talk about it. And it's the local 178 00:09:34,293 --> 00:09:38,893 Speaker 4: American elections. We had two for Kamala Harris and the 179 00:09:38,973 --> 00:09:40,732 Speaker 4: family and two for Trump. 180 00:09:40,573 --> 00:09:41,253 Speaker 2: Down the middle. 181 00:09:43,132 --> 00:09:46,373 Speaker 4: I lost, so you know who I voted for. The 182 00:09:46,413 --> 00:09:49,533 Speaker 4: bet was if if they were whoever, one had to 183 00:09:49,533 --> 00:09:52,133 Speaker 4: buy each other tea. I had to buy my son tea. 184 00:09:52,213 --> 00:09:56,732 Speaker 4: Last night he wore a Beanie Mega hat Beanie which 185 00:09:56,773 --> 00:10:01,213 Speaker 4: made me laugh and we discussed it. We talked about it. 186 00:10:01,413 --> 00:10:05,012 Speaker 4: So it is something that as a family I grew 187 00:10:05,132 --> 00:10:07,493 Speaker 4: up with my kids have grown up with. It's been 188 00:10:07,533 --> 00:10:12,093 Speaker 4: pretty open. It can get a little heats of at times, 189 00:10:12,173 --> 00:10:13,773 Speaker 4: but it never divides us. 190 00:10:14,012 --> 00:10:16,573 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that's healthy. Sandra. You know, there's 191 00:10:16,573 --> 00:10:20,973 Speaker 2: always been this kind of social rule that's left unspoken 192 00:10:21,012 --> 00:10:22,652 Speaker 2: a lot of the time that you never talk about 193 00:10:22,653 --> 00:10:25,173 Speaker 2: politics and the family home. But I disagree with that. 194 00:10:25,293 --> 00:10:29,132 Speaker 2: I think that is important. But I suppose the hang 195 00:10:29,213 --> 00:10:31,213 Speaker 2: up I have there at what age do you bring 196 00:10:31,252 --> 00:10:33,893 Speaker 2: your kids into that conversation? For you, did you have 197 00:10:33,933 --> 00:10:36,893 Speaker 2: an age where you thought, right, I can talk with 198 00:10:36,933 --> 00:10:39,133 Speaker 2: my kids now about these big social issues. 199 00:10:40,533 --> 00:10:42,973 Speaker 4: No, I think because for me, I grew up always 200 00:10:43,053 --> 00:10:45,852 Speaker 4: hearing it. I was always aware of it growing up. 201 00:10:45,973 --> 00:10:48,612 Speaker 4: So my kids were also aware of it growing up 202 00:10:48,693 --> 00:10:53,973 Speaker 4: because my dad being on council. They grew up seeing 203 00:10:53,973 --> 00:10:56,373 Speaker 4: that and hearing it, so they knew from a very 204 00:10:56,453 --> 00:10:59,333 Speaker 4: very young age they knew all about it. So it 205 00:10:59,413 --> 00:11:03,533 Speaker 4: was nothing that they were necessarily introduced to. It's always 206 00:11:03,533 --> 00:11:06,493 Speaker 4: been part of their life, as it was always part 207 00:11:06,492 --> 00:11:09,413 Speaker 4: of my life, So it was it was just part 208 00:11:09,413 --> 00:11:09,973 Speaker 4: of our life. 209 00:11:10,213 --> 00:11:12,052 Speaker 2: Did your appearance and you mentioned that you came from 210 00:11:12,132 --> 00:11:15,413 Speaker 2: a very political family when you grew up, did your 211 00:11:15,492 --> 00:11:21,612 Speaker 2: parents try and convince you to vote a certain way, 212 00:11:21,773 --> 00:11:23,492 Speaker 2: to lean towards a seventh No. 213 00:11:24,732 --> 00:11:27,252 Speaker 4: No, And I haven't done the same with my kids. 214 00:11:27,252 --> 00:11:30,253 Speaker 4: I know which by my kids vote that. 215 00:11:30,973 --> 00:11:31,012 Speaker 5: No. 216 00:11:31,852 --> 00:11:36,453 Speaker 4: My parents were very involved with Grace Faith and social 217 00:11:36,453 --> 00:11:41,453 Speaker 4: credits me my age that they. I never grew up 218 00:11:41,453 --> 00:11:43,973 Speaker 4: being told this is who I should vote for or 219 00:11:44,012 --> 00:11:47,573 Speaker 4: how I should be once Social credit really wasn't so 220 00:11:47,732 --> 00:11:50,693 Speaker 4: much the same in the Ring of Turkey.

David Seymour isn't 307 00:15:42,173 --> 00:15:46,093 Speaker 2: happy about that. But when it comes to children and politics, 308 00:15:46,173 --> 00:15:47,932 Speaker 2: have you ever been in a position and there be 309 00:15:48,013 --> 00:15:49,253 Speaker 2: a lot of people out there on the back of 310 00:15:49,293 --> 00:15:53,813 Speaker 2: those climate strikes, the school strikes for climate there was 311 00:15:54,173 --> 00:15:58,133 Speaker 2: several of them, very controversial.

What did you say, Oh, eight, 315 00:16:07,813 --> 00:16:10,453 Speaker 2: one hundred eighty is the number to call, Tony? How 316 00:16:10,493 --> 00:16:12,013 Speaker 2: are you hi? 317 00:16:12,173 --> 00:16:13,053 Speaker 7: Tyer Tyler. 318 00:16:14,373 --> 00:16:19,493 Speaker 5: I think if the teachers spent as much time teaching 319 00:16:19,533 --> 00:16:21,573 Speaker 5: the kids to read and write and then they would 320 00:16:21,653 --> 00:16:25,893 Speaker 5: understand what was written on the placards, then they would 321 00:16:26,013 --> 00:16:31,013 Speaker 5: understand why they were instead of, you know, going out 322 00:16:31,133 --> 00:16:34,533 Speaker 5: on political what is simply political activism by the teachers 323 00:16:34,653 --> 00:16:39,653 Speaker 5: union that half these kids have no idea. Half the 324 00:16:39,773 --> 00:16:42,893 Speaker 5: people you listen to, you I've seen on TV don't 325 00:16:42,973 --> 00:16:46,893 Speaker 5: even understand what the bill is all about. Whilst it 326 00:16:47,093 --> 00:16:50,412 Speaker 5: refers to the Treaty and no one is disagreeing with 327 00:16:50,493 --> 00:16:55,973 Speaker 5: the treaty and it will never change theirs. The bill purpose, 328 00:16:56,093 --> 00:16:59,293 Speaker 5: as I see it, is to cut down on political 329 00:16:59,413 --> 00:17:03,213 Speaker 5: activism by judges and the Bowery Court and such like 330 00:17:03,613 --> 00:17:08,532 Speaker 5: were interpreting the treaty. The treaty is the treaty is 331 00:17:08,573 --> 00:17:09,052 Speaker 5: a treaty. 332 00:17:09,213 --> 00:17:10,292 Speaker 16: It is what it says. 333 00:17:10,773 --> 00:17:14,093 Speaker 2: But Tony, you've clearly got a firm opinion on this issue, 334 00:17:14,093 --> 00:17:15,773 Speaker 2: and that's a good thing. But when it comes to 335 00:17:16,493 --> 00:17:20,093 Speaker 2: children being involved in not just this hiccoy and this issue, 336 00:17:20,533 --> 00:17:23,453 Speaker 2: but issues in general. And you can pick whatever issue 337 00:17:23,493 --> 00:17:25,213 Speaker 2: you like. I mean, look on the other side of 338 00:17:25,253 --> 00:17:29,213 Speaker 2: the coin groundswell. For example, farmers were deeply un'nhappy with 339 00:17:29,293 --> 00:17:31,173 Speaker 2: the labor government and there was a lot of reasons 340 00:17:31,213 --> 00:17:33,013 Speaker 2: for that, and they had a lot of general support. 341 00:17:33,133 --> 00:17:35,973 Speaker 2: But there were children at that protest. Was that appropriate? 342 00:17:36,053 --> 00:17:40,053 Speaker 5: But the children then that case are in fact probably 343 00:17:40,133 --> 00:17:43,893 Speaker 5: well educated, being farmer's kids at good schools in the country. 344 00:17:44,933 --> 00:17:45,853 Speaker 3: But also. 345 00:17:47,213 --> 00:17:49,133 Speaker 12: They are directly. 346 00:17:48,773 --> 00:17:52,373 Speaker 5: Involved because they live and work on the farm themselves 347 00:17:52,413 --> 00:17:57,693 Speaker 5: as children. Children from farms actually work as children and 348 00:17:57,773 --> 00:17:58,613 Speaker 5: they're not at school. 349 00:17:59,093 --> 00:18:01,213 Speaker 2: But if it was something like just for an example, 350 00:18:01,253 --> 00:18:02,613 Speaker 2: and I hear what you're saying, Tony, and this is 351 00:18:02,653 --> 00:18:05,133 Speaker 2: a good chat. But for example, if they were holding 352 00:18:05,173 --> 00:18:10,493 Speaker 2: a placard about the unfairness of emissions and the carbon legislation, 353 00:18:10,893 --> 00:18:13,373 Speaker 2: that is complicated legislation For a six year old to 354 00:18:13,413 --> 00:18:14,893 Speaker 2: be holding a plant card up about. 355 00:18:16,173 --> 00:18:20,613 Speaker 5: No, I think, yeah, that's fairly easy. Every everyone knows 356 00:18:20,693 --> 00:18:25,213 Speaker 5: that the climate. Climate changes every mani seconds of time 357 00:18:25,533 --> 00:18:30,773 Speaker 5: and has done since living and breathing creatures started sticking 358 00:18:30,853 --> 00:18:34,093 Speaker 5: in oxygen as they were at the planet evolved. 359 00:18:34,333 --> 00:18:37,413 Speaker 2: But again, Tony, you're an adult and you've read up 360 00:18:37,493 --> 00:18:40,373 Speaker 2: on these various policies and you've firmed an opinion based 361 00:18:40,453 --> 00:18:42,933 Speaker 2: on what you've read. But we're talking about children here, 362 00:18:43,333 --> 00:18:45,813 Speaker 2: and the appearents their parents have a firm view on 363 00:18:46,013 --> 00:18:50,173 Speaker 2: those policies and those politics. But when it comes to 364 00:18:50,253 --> 00:18:52,133 Speaker 2: their own carrying. 365 00:18:52,253 --> 00:18:57,213 Speaker 5: Children on farms are learning from basically when they can 366 00:18:57,293 --> 00:19:02,253 Speaker 5: open their eyes, they see animals born quite often, they 367 00:19:02,773 --> 00:19:05,813 Speaker 5: possibly when they're a little bit old, to see animals 368 00:19:06,693 --> 00:19:09,973 Speaker 5: killed for food. It was sent off to the works 369 00:19:10,693 --> 00:19:14,933 Speaker 5: they live or school. But anyway, you and I were 370 00:19:14,973 --> 00:19:17,973 Speaker 5: both schoolboys at one touch stage, and any excuse for 371 00:19:18,093 --> 00:19:21,173 Speaker 5: heart for an afternoon, not for any sort of alaricanism, yeah, 372 00:19:21,293 --> 00:19:23,053 Speaker 5: would be sent to know with open arms. 373 00:19:23,173 --> 00:19:25,013 Speaker 2: Well not by my parents. That wouldn't have been Tony, 374 00:19:25,133 --> 00:19:26,893 Speaker 2: And you know I haven't mentioned that, and I was 375 00:19:26,973 --> 00:19:29,453 Speaker 2: going to, but you know, I can I can say 376 00:19:29,533 --> 00:19:32,133 Speaker 2: pretty confidently that if there was some sort of issue 377 00:19:32,213 --> 00:19:33,853 Speaker 2: going on at the time and I said to my parents, 378 00:19:33,853 --> 00:19:36,093 Speaker 2: say I'm going to bunk Off school to join this, 379 00:19:36,333 --> 00:19:38,853 Speaker 2: they would have said, like, Hellia, you were kind. 380 00:19:38,733 --> 00:19:42,093 Speaker 5: Of school we were a bit smart as well. I 381 00:19:42,133 --> 00:19:43,853 Speaker 5: don't know about you, but we were a bit smarter 382 00:19:43,973 --> 00:19:45,973 Speaker 5: where we were kids. You always found a good excuse 383 00:19:46,093 --> 00:19:49,533 Speaker 5: to be not at school, and this was a good one. 384 00:19:49,573 --> 00:19:53,253 Speaker 5: We're learning would be the answer that springs to mind 385 00:19:53,493 --> 00:19:54,093 Speaker 5: in my time. 386 00:19:54,853 --> 00:19:56,893 Speaker 2: Tony, you're a good man.

This 419 00:21:42,093 --> 00:21:44,253 Speaker 2: is on the back of the Hekoy which is currently 420 00:21:44,373 --> 00:21:49,373 Speaker 2: taking place.

But we have been talking about a broader 425 00:22:05,453 --> 00:22:08,453 Speaker 2: conversation about what age is it appropriate for children and 426 00:22:08,533 --> 00:22:13,773 Speaker 2: to start learning, talking, taking a position on politics, whatever 427 00:22:13,893 --> 00:22:17,413 Speaker 2: way they decide to go. And with the emergence of 428 00:22:17,453 --> 00:22:20,813 Speaker 2: social media, very very difficult to shield children away from 429 00:22:20,933 --> 00:22:23,933 Speaker 2: big political issues. So what age do you start having 430 00:22:23,973 --> 00:22:25,813 Speaker 2: a chat with them and do you try and stay 431 00:22:25,853 --> 00:22:28,093 Speaker 2: objective and let them make up their own mind. Love 432 00:22:28,133 --> 00:22:31,133 Speaker 2: to hear from you. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty Kreen, 433 00:22:31,173 --> 00:22:31,493 Speaker 2: how are you? 434 00:22:32,573 --> 00:22:38,613 Speaker 11: I'm good, Thank you. I'm just really really upset about 435 00:22:38,773 --> 00:22:43,253 Speaker 11: taking I've got two young children, yeah, in primary school. Now, 436 00:22:44,013 --> 00:22:46,213 Speaker 11: I wouldn't take them out of school. I've got too 437 00:22:46,293 --> 00:22:49,653 Speaker 11: much currency in this country anyway. But the thing is 438 00:22:49,693 --> 00:22:52,573 Speaker 11: that these kids are just kids. They don't understand what's 439 00:22:52,653 --> 00:22:56,253 Speaker 11: really going on. They'll hear their mum and dad talk 440 00:22:56,333 --> 00:22:58,893 Speaker 11: to benow men and they'll go, oh, what's that? 441 00:22:59,373 --> 00:23:00,133 Speaker 18: And they learn. 442 00:23:01,573 --> 00:23:05,573 Speaker 11: As they grow, but they don't understand what this whole 443 00:23:05,653 --> 00:23:08,293 Speaker 11: thing is about. So there's hrcy is coming from Auckland 444 00:23:08,453 --> 00:23:11,213 Speaker 11: down to Wellington so they have the ones an Awks, 445 00:23:11,213 --> 00:23:13,773 Speaker 11: they can their whole kids out of school for how long? 446 00:23:14,133 --> 00:23:16,173 Speaker 11: I think it's just absolutely ridiculous. 447 00:23:17,493 --> 00:23:19,333 Speaker 2: Well look, I tend to agree with you Kieran. When 448 00:23:19,373 --> 00:23:24,093 Speaker 2: it comes to primary school children. Does that equation start 449 00:23:24,173 --> 00:23:28,213 Speaker 2: to change if they are fifteen, sixteen, seventeen years old? 450 00:23:28,413 --> 00:23:32,453 Speaker 11: Yeah, a little bit different, I think. But you see, 451 00:23:32,733 --> 00:23:37,093 Speaker 11: you know, than these young kids. And it just breaks 452 00:23:37,133 --> 00:23:39,973 Speaker 11: my heart because they really don't know, you know, and 453 00:23:40,813 --> 00:23:44,453 Speaker 11: all kids want to do with the play and now 454 00:23:44,533 --> 00:23:48,213 Speaker 11: they don't understand politics. They can see things and then 455 00:23:48,413 --> 00:23:50,093 Speaker 11: you're stuck in their head, you know, because it was 456 00:23:50,133 --> 00:23:55,533 Speaker 11: a lot of big sponge they really are, so when 457 00:23:55,613 --> 00:23:59,413 Speaker 11: they are going for these hikoy and you know, I've 458 00:23:59,453 --> 00:24:02,893 Speaker 11: got lovely Met Murray friends and stuff right there. But 459 00:24:03,213 --> 00:24:06,533 Speaker 11: sometimes it's just a little bit overcool. I think just 460 00:24:07,333 --> 00:24:09,613 Speaker 11: come back to a little bit it and just look 461 00:24:09,693 --> 00:24:14,773 Speaker 11: at everybody in New Zealand.

And to me, that 507 00:26:27,933 --> 00:26:29,973 Speaker 2: was a good thing because that lead me, as a 508 00:26:30,053 --> 00:26:32,973 Speaker 2: young teenager to think, well, neither of you guys really 509 00:26:33,613 --> 00:26:35,653 Speaker 2: agree on this thing. So clearly there's a bit more 510 00:26:35,693 --> 00:26:38,373 Speaker 2: to this, and hopefully once I got a bit older, 511 00:26:38,413 --> 00:26:40,133 Speaker 2: well clearly I did. I started making up my own 512 00:26:40,173 --> 00:26:42,173 Speaker 2: mind about how I thought about those things when. 513 00:26:42,013 --> 00:26:44,173 Speaker 11: I was a teenager, not when I was in primary 514 00:26:44,213 --> 00:26:47,773 Speaker 11: school or you know, so you learn as you go 515 00:26:48,093 --> 00:26:49,973 Speaker 11: and you think all of a sudden, you think, what's 516 00:26:50,013 --> 00:26:52,413 Speaker 11: all that about? Well, why is the selection happening? And 517 00:26:52,453 --> 00:26:54,453 Speaker 11: then you know your peers will sit down and talk 518 00:26:54,453 --> 00:26:58,093 Speaker 11: to you a little bit about it. But I just 519 00:26:58,213 --> 00:27:02,173 Speaker 11: think taking kids out are school so much.

It's eighteen to two, Peter, 532 00:27:37,573 --> 00:27:38,653 Speaker 2: good afternoon. 533 00:27:39,493 --> 00:27:40,133 Speaker 12: Hey, Tyla. 534 00:27:40,493 --> 00:27:44,653 Speaker 21: I took my fifteen year old girl down to Parliament 535 00:27:44,693 --> 00:27:49,893 Speaker 21: Grounds during the occupation. The head down there one from 536 00:27:49,933 --> 00:27:55,333 Speaker 21: the point of showing her that this is her right 537 00:27:55,493 --> 00:28:00,453 Speaker 21: to piece of peacefully protest and to show her that 538 00:28:00,693 --> 00:28:04,493 Speaker 21: what she's watching on TV is not necessarily what's going 539 00:28:04,613 --> 00:28:09,573 Speaker 21: on on the site. So she was apprehensive apprehensives at 540 00:28:09,693 --> 00:28:13,653 Speaker 21: first about going up to the very front where or 541 00:28:13,733 --> 00:28:17,093 Speaker 21: the action was, so to speak. But once we left 542 00:28:17,173 --> 00:28:21,613 Speaker 21: she realized that it wasn't what their media was reporting. 543 00:28:21,733 --> 00:28:25,653 Speaker 21: You know, there was different different fractions within the group 544 00:28:25,773 --> 00:28:29,573 Speaker 21: there that were trouble makers, other people that was people. 545 00:28:30,213 --> 00:28:32,893 Speaker 21: And I just believe that is really important for her 546 00:28:32,973 --> 00:28:37,653 Speaker 21: as a young child that's growing up, that this is 547 00:28:37,733 --> 00:28:43,293 Speaker 21: your right as a New Zealander to peacefully protest your opinion, 548 00:28:43,533 --> 00:28:47,893 Speaker 21: and regardless of what side she decides to follow when 549 00:28:47,933 --> 00:28:51,813 Speaker 21: she becomes an adult at the post of the school, 550 00:28:52,533 --> 00:28:57,853 Speaker 21: I disagree with them pulling or allowing kids to go 551 00:28:57,973 --> 00:29:02,293 Speaker 21: out a protest unless it's the whole school that's going 552 00:29:02,893 --> 00:29:06,093 Speaker 21: and they're in the uniform, if they wear uniforms. But 553 00:29:06,173 --> 00:29:09,213 Speaker 21: it will never happen because as you know, they have 554 00:29:09,413 --> 00:29:13,973 Speaker 21: to ask for permission, slips, and they're always asking for 555 00:29:14,173 --> 00:29:16,533 Speaker 21: parent help, and they don't have enough stuff to do it. 556 00:29:16,693 --> 00:29:20,533 Speaker 21: So yeah, no, I shouldn't be allowed out unless it's 557 00:29:20,973 --> 00:29:24,813 Speaker 21: the whole school or the whole year group going together. 558 00:29:25,013 --> 00:29:28,453 Speaker 21: None not just starting to go to McDonald's or the beach. 559 00:29:28,973 --> 00:29:31,653 Speaker 21: They need to go together, you know, ye are they 560 00:29:31,733 --> 00:29:33,573 Speaker 21: going to do it? Do it right? Don't do it 561 00:29:34,173 --> 00:29:35,053 Speaker 21: yeah fast? 562 00:29:35,213 --> 00:29:38,373 Speaker 2: And I think that sound logic. And on your first point, Peter, 563 00:29:38,573 --> 00:29:41,173 Speaker 2: was that because you're your thirteen year old asked you 564 00:29:41,373 --> 00:29:43,333 Speaker 2: to take her down there, or she was asking a 565 00:29:43,373 --> 00:29:46,133 Speaker 2: lot of questions about what was going on and you decided, well, 566 00:29:46,213 --> 00:29:47,133 Speaker 2: we need to go and have a look. 567 00:29:48,333 --> 00:29:50,453 Speaker 21: No, she was getting the wrong with you, right. She 568 00:29:50,653 --> 00:29:54,213 Speaker 21: was seeing a social media side that was wasn't painting 569 00:29:54,293 --> 00:29:57,373 Speaker 21: the full picture, and and a lot of it like 570 00:29:57,853 --> 00:30:03,453 Speaker 21: she knows where I belong politically and being a blended family, 571 00:30:03,613 --> 00:30:07,293 Speaker 21: it's I'm the only one that thanks for us, so 572 00:30:08,133 --> 00:30:11,373 Speaker 21: we she started asking questions was after that, and it 573 00:30:11,573 --> 00:30:13,853 Speaker 21: was more so on the point of the double all 574 00:30:14,373 --> 00:30:17,573 Speaker 21: the double name showed the English Moldi name together and 575 00:30:19,413 --> 00:30:22,213 Speaker 21: they were trying to kill the Maldi language. And I 576 00:30:22,413 --> 00:30:24,373 Speaker 21: had to explain, no, one, I'm not trying to kill 577 00:30:24,413 --> 00:30:28,333 Speaker 21: the Maori language. So they're just trying to use two names. 578 00:30:28,373 --> 00:30:31,573 Speaker 21: And then you actually go research, you'll see that they 579 00:30:31,653 --> 00:30:35,453 Speaker 21: have no intensions of killing the Maori language. But it's 580 00:30:35,573 --> 00:30:39,773 Speaker 21: all what she was seeing from her perspective, and it's 581 00:30:39,973 --> 00:30:42,973 Speaker 21: no different to an adult seen it from their perspective. 582 00:30:43,533 --> 00:30:46,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's slight. Oh clearly, it's a it's 583 00:30:46,453 --> 00:30:49,373 Speaker 2: a different issue. But if she was asking questions about 584 00:30:49,413 --> 00:30:51,493 Speaker 2: what was going on, with this hikoy in this March 585 00:30:51,773 --> 00:30:54,093 Speaker 2: and they're going to be in Wellington, is it today 586 00:30:54,293 --> 00:30:56,253 Speaker 2: or certainly in the next couple of days. And she said, 587 00:30:56,253 --> 00:30:57,813 Speaker 2: I want to go down and see what this is about. 588 00:30:57,813 --> 00:30:58,533 Speaker 2: Would you take it. 589 00:30:58,573 --> 00:31:06,653 Speaker 21: Down if it's outside the school? Yeah, not a brom. 590 00:31:06,693 --> 00:31:08,973 Speaker 21: I think the schooling is more important. Now I'm saying 591 00:31:09,013 --> 00:31:13,853 Speaker 21: that her mother's Molly, their older sisters, they will probably 592 00:31:13,973 --> 00:31:17,853 Speaker 21: join the Ekoi. And if she's with her mother and 593 00:31:18,413 --> 00:31:22,533 Speaker 21: other older sisters, then I'm not gonna. I'm not going 594 00:31:22,573 --> 00:31:25,053 Speaker 21: to kick up a fuss us she's worth a parent 595 00:31:25,653 --> 00:31:28,173 Speaker 21: and I'm not going to be happy with it, but 596 00:31:29,413 --> 00:31:32,613 Speaker 21: you know that's what they feel strongly in, so I'm 597 00:31:32,653 --> 00:31:35,133 Speaker 21: gonna I'm going to back that up. I'm not I 598 00:31:35,293 --> 00:31:40,373 Speaker 21: might not agree with it, but they're doing what they 599 00:31:41,053 --> 00:31:45,173 Speaker 21: were writers in their mind to to peacefully protests. 600 00:31:45,253 --> 00:31:47,173 Speaker 2: So do you sound like a real good dad? 601 00:31:47,213 --> 00:31:47,413 Speaker 9: Peter? 602 00:31:47,893 --> 00:31:50,853 Speaker 2: Thank you very much for giving us a buzz. Colleen, 603 00:31:51,213 --> 00:31:51,653 Speaker 2: how are you? 604 00:31:52,333 --> 00:31:52,453 Speaker 3: Hi? 605 00:31:53,053 --> 00:31:58,653 Speaker 22: Hi, I've got some I'm looking after three grandchildren and 606 00:31:59,813 --> 00:32:02,013 Speaker 22: two of them arrived at me. One is twelve and 607 00:32:02,093 --> 00:32:06,493 Speaker 22: one is forty, And then you know, little politics sort 608 00:32:06,533 --> 00:32:09,733 Speaker 22: of came out. I was absolutely amazed at how much 609 00:32:09,773 --> 00:32:14,493 Speaker 22: they knew about politics. They were well versed in the subject. 610 00:32:16,413 --> 00:32:18,893 Speaker 22: The one thing that really came to mind was they 611 00:32:18,933 --> 00:32:26,453 Speaker 22: were totally dissolutions with politics of today. They you know, 612 00:32:26,573 --> 00:32:29,933 Speaker 22: they were sort of versed by their parents and deft 613 00:32:29,973 --> 00:32:33,533 Speaker 22: wind politics, but they were totally upset it disonder and 614 00:32:33,613 --> 00:32:36,613 Speaker 22: what what happened there. They didn't like. They didn't like 615 00:32:36,773 --> 00:32:40,373 Speaker 22: national because that's to do with rich people. So they're 616 00:32:40,813 --> 00:32:43,093 Speaker 22: more or less, from what I gathered with them and 617 00:32:43,133 --> 00:32:46,013 Speaker 22: their friends, they're more or less forming their own political 618 00:32:46,373 --> 00:32:51,693 Speaker 22: ideas at the moment. It's very very interesting listening to them. 619 00:32:53,133 --> 00:32:55,253 Speaker 22: They really know about the subjects. 620 00:32:58,413 --> 00:33:02,053 Speaker 2: What age that one one was twelve? 621 00:33:02,213 --> 00:33:08,093 Speaker 22: Mine was fourteen when I got them, and so like I, 622 00:33:08,453 --> 00:33:12,133 Speaker 22: I guess they've been looking online, working things up for themselves. 623 00:33:14,253 --> 00:33:20,093 Speaker 22: I've stayed very politically neutralism because I've finally for their 624 00:33:20,213 --> 00:33:26,173 Speaker 22: views very quite fascinating. Actually, I've I've taken them into 625 00:33:26,373 --> 00:33:31,253 Speaker 22: various things. Last week I gotten me and a whole 626 00:33:31,293 --> 00:33:34,333 Speaker 22: lot of other people who were anti Trump got invited 627 00:33:34,373 --> 00:33:41,693 Speaker 22: to a Trump party which had some fairly high earning 628 00:33:44,573 --> 00:33:45,653 Speaker 22: right when people at it. 629 00:33:45,933 --> 00:33:48,413 Speaker 2: Ye names Colleen, but yep, I get your point. 630 00:33:48,693 --> 00:33:48,933 Speaker 23: I'm not. 631 00:33:50,453 --> 00:33:52,573 Speaker 16: Yet carry on, I'm not necessary. 632 00:33:54,453 --> 00:33:58,733 Speaker 22: And it was very very interesting that listening to what 633 00:33:58,973 --> 00:34:02,453 Speaker 22: was going on. I put my grandkids to it, and 634 00:34:02,573 --> 00:34:04,373 Speaker 22: there's some of them, you know, a couple of them 635 00:34:04,373 --> 00:34:08,533 Speaker 22: were cringing when it was coming very clear that Trump was, well, 636 00:34:14,493 --> 00:34:18,253 Speaker 22: I can why they do it in the weekend and 637 00:34:19,053 --> 00:34:25,693 Speaker 22: there is a city at because they're not walking between 638 00:34:25,733 --> 00:34:30,013 Speaker 22: the cities, you know, they just formed these different cities. 639 00:34:30,493 --> 00:34:33,613 Speaker 22: Why they have to do it in school times. It's 640 00:34:33,773 --> 00:34:35,333 Speaker 22: totally against what I believe in. 641 00:34:36,413 --> 00:34:38,813 Speaker 2: But to your first point, and that's very valid, Colin, 642 00:34:38,853 --> 00:34:41,413 Speaker 2: But to your first points, is it about once they 643 00:34:41,573 --> 00:34:43,733 Speaker 2: reach a certain age? And now I suppose that's the 644 00:34:44,493 --> 00:34:46,333 Speaker 2: reason why we're talking about this, but say the fourteen 645 00:34:46,453 --> 00:34:49,893 Speaker 2: year old at that point, to me, it's probably appropriate 646 00:34:49,973 --> 00:34:53,533 Speaker 2: to maybe question why they think a certain way about 647 00:34:53,533 --> 00:34:56,333 Speaker 2: a social issue. Where did they get that information from? 648 00:34:56,573 --> 00:34:58,573 Speaker 2: And that's not to sway them, that's to make them 649 00:34:58,733 --> 00:35:01,853 Speaker 2: still think about the information that they're getting and have 650 00:35:02,013 --> 00:35:04,413 Speaker 2: that critical eye to forming their opinion. 651 00:35:06,013 --> 00:35:12,413 Speaker 22: They definitely got those ideas from these school from people talking. 652 00:35:16,733 --> 00:35:16,853 Speaker 9: Right. 653 00:35:16,933 --> 00:35:17,933 Speaker 22: Some of their ideas are. 654 00:35:17,933 --> 00:35:18,732 Speaker 10: Really really good. 655 00:35:18,813 --> 00:35:22,013 Speaker 22: So they're so politically appearance, it's quite amazing. 656 00:35:22,253 --> 00:35:25,133 Speaker 2: Yeah, Colleen, thank you very much.

I think if 672 00:36:13,253 --> 00:36:18,213 Speaker 24: very much depends on the child and their understanding of 673 00:36:18,693 --> 00:36:25,453 Speaker 24: the issue at hand in some cases, so I don't 674 00:36:25,453 --> 00:36:28,853 Speaker 24: know if you remember, I'm one of the co founders 675 00:36:28,893 --> 00:36:31,493 Speaker 24: of Fate Free Kids, so I can use my experience 676 00:36:31,533 --> 00:36:35,253 Speaker 24: as part of that organization as an example. But I've 677 00:36:35,413 --> 00:36:40,493 Speaker 24: encountered when we presented a petition to Parliament, you wouldn't 678 00:36:40,533 --> 00:36:41,533 Speaker 24: really call that a protest. 679 00:36:41,573 --> 00:36:42,172 Speaker 4: It was an event. 680 00:36:42,253 --> 00:36:44,773 Speaker 24: It was an event around the presentation of that petition. 681 00:36:45,173 --> 00:36:48,373 Speaker 24: A lot of people came and a lot of those 682 00:36:48,533 --> 00:36:52,373 Speaker 24: were I'm a Tati or young people, teenagers, and they 683 00:36:52,413 --> 00:36:55,652 Speaker 24: were very well across the issue at hand. They were 684 00:36:55,773 --> 00:36:59,893 Speaker 24: experiencing the impact of that issue in school. 685 00:37:00,453 --> 00:37:03,813 Speaker 11: And my own son was there, and as. 686 00:37:03,733 --> 00:37:06,013 Speaker 24: A parent, I did take him out of school to 687 00:37:06,133 --> 00:37:09,973 Speaker 24: come and be part of that event, and because it 688 00:37:10,093 --> 00:37:13,173 Speaker 24: was extremely relevant to him. The alternative was that he 689 00:37:13,333 --> 00:37:17,213 Speaker 24: was going to be in school where a whole lot 690 00:37:17,253 --> 00:37:20,133 Speaker 24: of disruption of his education was happening as a result 691 00:37:20,173 --> 00:37:23,373 Speaker 24: of said issue, and so I found it was extremely 692 00:37:23,453 --> 00:37:26,453 Speaker 24: relevant and I advocated to the school that it was 693 00:37:26,493 --> 00:37:29,173 Speaker 24: going to be much as an unjustified ebsence, and I said, well, 694 00:37:29,213 --> 00:37:30,493 Speaker 24: if it has to be, it has to be, but 695 00:37:31,413 --> 00:37:36,493 Speaker 24: here is my justifications for it. And right through We've 696 00:37:36,573 --> 00:37:39,933 Speaker 24: had many, many times we've been at Parliament, whether it's 697 00:37:39,933 --> 00:37:43,573 Speaker 24: a help Select committee briefing or a hearing or making submissions, 698 00:37:43,933 --> 00:37:46,293 Speaker 24: and we've seen a lot of impressive young people that 699 00:37:47,053 --> 00:37:49,453 Speaker 24: have a really good understanding of the issue and are 700 00:37:49,493 --> 00:37:53,053 Speaker 24: really keen to be part of democracy. And I think 701 00:37:53,173 --> 00:37:56,733 Speaker 24: that is what is happening in terms of you know, 702 00:37:56,893 --> 00:38:02,533 Speaker 24: other hcoy and movements for various issues we underestimate to 703 00:38:02,693 --> 00:38:04,653 Speaker 24: young people. I think, well, a lot of the callers 704 00:38:05,573 --> 00:38:10,653 Speaker 24: I've heard seen too, get that there are other platforms 705 00:38:11,053 --> 00:38:14,773 Speaker 24: that our young people take their news from. I know 706 00:38:14,973 --> 00:38:20,253 Speaker 24: that when it comes to the Treaty Principled Bill, there's 707 00:38:20,253 --> 00:38:24,133 Speaker 24: a number of TikTok accounts, for example, that have really 708 00:38:24,133 --> 00:38:27,453 Speaker 24: good breakdowns so that young people can can consume it 709 00:38:27,693 --> 00:38:32,093 Speaker 24: and understand it and form an opinion. So I think 710 00:38:33,333 --> 00:38:36,253 Speaker 24: we shouldn't assume that they just fear for I think 711 00:38:36,333 --> 00:38:38,773 Speaker 24: one of them for some Americanism. I think one of 712 00:38:38,853 --> 00:38:40,653 Speaker 24: your other previous callers called it. 713 00:38:41,053 --> 00:38:44,533 Speaker 2: We can't assume that, and I you what you're saying, Cheryl, 714 00:38:44,573 --> 00:38:46,413 Speaker 2: But just on the I mean when you mentioned TikTok, 715 00:38:46,413 --> 00:38:48,053 Speaker 2: and I get your point, and there are some very 716 00:38:48,093 --> 00:38:50,133 Speaker 2: clever young people out there, no doubt about it. But 717 00:38:50,173 --> 00:38:52,573 Speaker 2: when you bring social media into the mix, and it 718 00:38:52,693 --> 00:38:56,533 Speaker 2: can be incredibly one sided, and there's nefarious information on 719 00:38:56,733 --> 00:38:59,413 Speaker 2: those social media platforms, and that's what worries me. But 720 00:38:59,493 --> 00:39:01,133 Speaker 2: I get your point about as long as a kid 721 00:39:01,853 --> 00:39:05,733 Speaker 2: or children have that critical lie on the big issues 722 00:39:05,773 --> 00:39:07,933 Speaker 2: and they can think for themselves, and that's a good thing. 723 00:39:08,373 --> 00:39:11,013 Speaker 2: But just quickly, and we've only got thirty seconds. If 724 00:39:11,093 --> 00:39:13,453 Speaker 2: your son and you brought them along and clearly the 725 00:39:13,573 --> 00:39:15,573 Speaker 2: issue that you're talking about, the vast majority of New 726 00:39:15,653 --> 00:39:17,573 Speaker 2: Zealanders agree with you when it comes to vaping and 727 00:39:17,653 --> 00:39:19,613 Speaker 2: children and the number of ape stores. But if he 728 00:39:19,693 --> 00:39:21,973 Speaker 2: said to you, if he came to you and said, actually, Mum, 729 00:39:22,053 --> 00:39:25,013 Speaker 2: I think it's freedom of choice, would you allow him 730 00:39:25,093 --> 00:39:26,813 Speaker 2: to have that opinion or would you try and convince 731 00:39:26,813 --> 00:39:27,373 Speaker 2: some otherwise? 732 00:39:29,733 --> 00:39:37,453 Speaker 24: Well, no, it's illegal, but that particular issue for children, Yes, no, 733 00:39:37,893 --> 00:39:40,652 Speaker 24: I respect his informed opinions. Because just to go back 734 00:39:40,693 --> 00:39:44,613 Speaker 24: to your point about the skewed social media social media 735 00:39:44,653 --> 00:39:45,173 Speaker 24: as media. 736 00:39:45,293 --> 00:39:47,933 Speaker 2: Now, yeah, absolutely, Cheryl, thank you very much. Wish we 737 00:39:47,973 --> 00:39:50,732 Speaker 2: could carry that on. But good discussion. Another one after 738 00:39:50,813 --> 00:39:51,613 Speaker 2: two o'clock. 739 00:39:53,133 --> 00:39:57,293 Speaker 1: Your new home for Instateful and Entertaining Talk.

He'll be back on the show tomorrow to 745 00:40:17,453 --> 00:40:19,733 Speaker 2: see out the week in star and good discussion over 746 00:40:19,733 --> 00:40:21,613 Speaker 2: the last hour. We're going to change it up over 747 00:40:21,693 --> 00:40:24,013 Speaker 2: the next hour or so. I want to talk about roadworks, 748 00:40:24,053 --> 00:40:27,133 Speaker 2: and this is roadworks in the Capitol in Wellington. So 749 00:40:27,293 --> 00:40:31,933 Speaker 2: construction crews have begun tearing up already completed roadworks on 750 00:40:32,053 --> 00:40:35,053 Speaker 2: Thornton Key. This is after the Wellington City Council called 751 00:40:35,093 --> 00:40:38,773 Speaker 2: for a rework in quotation marks of some sections. So 752 00:40:38,893 --> 00:40:41,093 Speaker 2: Thornton Key, as you may or may not know, leeds 753 00:40:41,133 --> 00:40:43,693 Speaker 2: into the Wellington CBD from the north and it is 754 00:40:43,733 --> 00:40:47,093 Speaker 2: a hub for home weares and finisher shops, among a 755 00:40:47,333 --> 00:40:50,133 Speaker 2: range of other local businesses. So on Wednesday morning, these 756 00:40:50,173 --> 00:40:53,973 Speaker 2: construction crews went back to tear up an already completed 757 00:40:54,053 --> 00:40:58,172 Speaker 2: section of that project. Wall Store Design Center owner. He's 758 00:40:58,213 --> 00:41:00,853 Speaker 2: one of the businesses affected by these works, Paul Robinson. 759 00:41:01,213 --> 00:41:04,093 Speaker 2: He said, just two months on from completing that work, 760 00:41:04,493 --> 00:41:07,173 Speaker 2: they were already changing it. He said, I quote, this 761 00:41:07,413 --> 00:41:11,652 Speaker 2: is utter madness and I tend to agree with them. 762 00:41:11,693 --> 00:41:15,573 Speaker 2: A Wellington Council, Wellington City Council rather spokesperson said the 763 00:41:15,773 --> 00:41:21,733 Speaker 2: rework was required as the Council's Regulatory Process Committee decided 764 00:41:22,013 --> 00:41:26,733 Speaker 2: to remove some of the raised safety platforms. Now that 765 00:41:26,893 --> 00:41:29,453 Speaker 2: is madness, isn't it. A change of heart over some 766 00:41:29,653 --> 00:41:34,373 Speaker 2: raised safety platforms means those businesses are stuffed again for 767 00:41:34,493 --> 00:41:37,173 Speaker 2: god knows how long they put up with the works, 768 00:41:38,373 --> 00:41:42,973 Speaker 2: had a completion data in sight, and Bang Council says 769 00:41:43,013 --> 00:41:45,173 Speaker 2: we've changed our mind. We don't like the raise safety 770 00:41:45,213 --> 00:41:48,373 Speaker 2: platforms anymore. We're coming back to change it and sorry, 771 00:41:48,613 --> 00:41:50,293 Speaker 2: you're going to miss out on some more foot traffic. 772 00:41:52,253 --> 00:41:54,973 Speaker 2: So here's what I want to talk about. Compensation for 773 00:41:55,093 --> 00:41:58,893 Speaker 2: businesses around these sort of projects. Now, I know this 774 00:41:58,973 --> 00:42:02,453 Speaker 2: has been banding banded about for a long time when 775 00:42:02,493 --> 00:42:07,133 Speaker 2: it comes to roadworks interrupting and interfering with businesses, and 776 00:42:07,253 --> 00:42:09,732 Speaker 2: that can open up a can of worms. It can 777 00:42:09,853 --> 00:42:14,333 Speaker 2: get very tricky and complicated. But in this situation where 778 00:42:14,333 --> 00:42:17,013 Speaker 2: they've gone back because of a change of heart about 779 00:42:17,053 --> 00:42:21,053 Speaker 2: raised safety platforms, at that point, I say they absolutely 780 00:42:21,133 --> 00:42:26,093 Speaker 2: should be compensating the businesses. Oh, eight hundred and eighty 781 00:42:26,173 --> 00:42:28,172 Speaker 2: ten eighty is the number to call. Nine two ninety 782 00:42:28,173 --> 00:42:32,093 Speaker 2: two is the text. Because I think most. 783 00:42:31,933 --> 00:42:32,333 Speaker 12: Of us. 784 00:42:33,893 --> 00:42:37,053 Speaker 2: Can understand the need for progress in cities to some extent, 785 00:42:37,173 --> 00:42:39,333 Speaker 2: and I know Wellington has been a basket case for 786 00:42:39,373 --> 00:42:43,613 Speaker 2: a long time. We all understand that. But when they 787 00:42:43,693 --> 00:42:47,013 Speaker 2: have to go back in and tear up already completed work, 788 00:42:47,893 --> 00:42:51,973 Speaker 2: when it is crushing these businesses, that to me is 789 00:42:52,173 --> 00:42:56,813 Speaker 2: deeply unfair and a smack in the face to those businesses. 790 00:42:59,133 --> 00:43:01,253 Speaker 2: And when we hear these stories again and again and 791 00:43:01,333 --> 00:43:05,212 Speaker 2: again about businesses being interrupted by roadworks, we can get 792 00:43:07,053 --> 00:43:10,413 Speaker 2: a little bit outside the frame of what it actually 793 00:43:10,533 --> 00:43:13,252 Speaker 2: means to those businesses. What they went through to set 794 00:43:13,333 --> 00:43:15,573 Speaker 2: that up, the blood's wet in tears, what they had 795 00:43:15,613 --> 00:43:18,093 Speaker 2: to put on the line, the amount of hours that 796 00:43:18,173 --> 00:43:23,373 Speaker 2: they put in setting up those businesses. For councils to 797 00:43:23,453 --> 00:43:26,853 Speaker 2: turn around do the road works, they lose the foot 798 00:43:26,893 --> 00:43:30,093 Speaker 2: traffic and what is already a tough economic climate, and 799 00:43:30,213 --> 00:43:34,253 Speaker 2: then change their minds and dig it back up for 800 00:43:34,333 --> 00:43:36,093 Speaker 2: another couple of months that they're not going to have 801 00:43:36,173 --> 00:43:40,093 Speaker 2: that foot traffic going through that area. These are people's livelihoods. 802 00:43:41,413 --> 00:43:44,573 Speaker 2: That is why it's so deeply unfair when you break 803 00:43:44,653 --> 00:43:47,693 Speaker 2: it down to the personal level. I so feel for 804 00:43:47,813 --> 00:43:52,573 Speaker 2: these guys, these businesses, because that is their livelihood. That 805 00:43:52,773 --> 00:43:56,413 Speaker 2: is what they have dedicated hours and hours of their lives, 806 00:43:56,453 --> 00:44:00,573 Speaker 2: setting up at great risk to themselves quite often, and 807 00:44:00,693 --> 00:44:03,773 Speaker 2: it just seems these are flippant decisions by in this 808 00:44:03,933 --> 00:44:07,173 Speaker 2: case the council. So love to hear from you on this. 809 00:44:07,253 --> 00:44:09,652 Speaker 2: One oh eight one hundred and eighty is the number 810 00:44:09,653 --> 00:44:12,733 Speaker 2: to call. Nine two nine two is the text number 811 00:44:12,773 --> 00:44:14,213 Speaker 2: if you want to send me an email. More than 812 00:44:14,253 --> 00:44:17,453 Speaker 2: welcome Tyler at Newstalk ZB dot co dot nz. Let's 813 00:44:17,493 --> 00:44:19,333 Speaker 2: get into it. It is eleven past two. 814 00:44:21,173 --> 00:44:24,333 Speaker 1: You're on new home of Afternoon Talk and Heathen Tyler 815 00:44:24,413 --> 00:44:25,933 Speaker 1: Adams Afternoon. 816 00:44:25,693 --> 00:44:28,652 Speaker 3: Call oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty News Talk said, 817 00:44:28,693 --> 00:44:30,093 Speaker 3: be very. 818 00:44:29,973 --> 00:44:32,172 Speaker 2: Good, afternoon due fourteen past two, and we're talking about 819 00:44:32,173 --> 00:44:35,053 Speaker 2: compensation for businesses affected by roadworks. And these aren't the 820 00:44:35,093 --> 00:44:37,253 Speaker 2: initial roadworks. This is on the back of a story 821 00:44:37,853 --> 00:44:40,893 Speaker 2: out of Wellington Thornton Key, so the council has gone 822 00:44:40,933 --> 00:44:43,692 Speaker 2: back and decided. So they were already doing roadworks there 823 00:44:43,693 --> 00:44:45,533 Speaker 2: and it was affecting the businesses and most of the 824 00:44:45,573 --> 00:44:49,253 Speaker 2: businesses by all accounts, we're sucking it up and say, okay, 825 00:44:49,493 --> 00:44:52,693 Speaker 2: not great, but we've got a deadline in sights and 826 00:44:52,893 --> 00:44:55,893 Speaker 2: we hopefully will get through it. But now the council 827 00:44:55,973 --> 00:44:58,293 Speaker 2: has decided they didn't like the raise safety platform so 828 00:44:58,493 --> 00:45:01,133 Speaker 2: have gone back or sent the contractors back to dig 829 00:45:01,173 --> 00:45:04,213 Speaker 2: it back up. And businesses quite rightly say this is 830 00:45:04,373 --> 00:45:07,493 Speaker 2: utter madness. That's a direct quote from Willstore Design Centerna 831 00:45:07,533 --> 00:45:11,373 Speaker 2: Paul Robinson, whose businesses is deeply affected by these roadworks. 832 00:45:11,413 --> 00:45:14,373 Speaker 2: And I say, when it's this situation, the council has 833 00:45:14,493 --> 00:45:17,933 Speaker 2: changed their mind about the raise safety platforms or whatever 834 00:45:17,973 --> 00:45:20,172 Speaker 2: it may be, and go back and rip it all 835 00:45:20,293 --> 00:45:22,373 Speaker 2: up for another couple of months. At that point, that's 836 00:45:22,373 --> 00:45:24,493 Speaker 2: a stuff up. That's a big mistake and they should 837 00:45:24,493 --> 00:45:26,733 Speaker 2: compensate those businesses. But what do you say, Oh, one 838 00:45:26,813 --> 00:45:29,373 Speaker 2: hundred and eighteen eighty is the number to call, Paul. 839 00:45:29,413 --> 00:45:30,133 Speaker 2: What do you think. 840 00:45:31,773 --> 00:45:33,133 Speaker 25: Who pays the compensation? 841 00:45:33,373 --> 00:45:33,653 Speaker 4: Tyler? 842 00:45:33,853 --> 00:45:34,053 Speaker 17: Wow? 843 00:45:34,173 --> 00:45:36,493 Speaker 2: This is yeah, this is where it's going to get interesting, Paul. 844 00:45:36,573 --> 00:45:40,293 Speaker 2: Because the Wellington Wellington Council stuff up, it's going to 845 00:45:40,333 --> 00:45:41,173 Speaker 2: come from ratepayers. 846 00:45:43,093 --> 00:45:45,413 Speaker 25: So maybe we should have a system in place where 847 00:45:45,493 --> 00:45:48,973 Speaker 25: these pounds that are making these decisions and that's all 848 00:45:49,053 --> 00:45:53,053 Speaker 25: you can call them as clowns held responsible for some 849 00:45:53,213 --> 00:45:55,773 Speaker 25: of them, maybe they'd think twice about it. Before they 850 00:45:55,853 --> 00:45:57,013 Speaker 25: actually made the decision. 851 00:45:57,853 --> 00:46:00,373 Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah, because this is all about accountability, right. 852 00:46:00,653 --> 00:46:03,053 Speaker 2: This is what upsets so so many people is when 853 00:46:03,173 --> 00:46:05,573 Speaker 2: these stuff ups happen. And this is clearly a stuff up. 854 00:46:05,613 --> 00:46:07,733 Speaker 2: This is a mistake that they changed their mind and 855 00:46:07,733 --> 00:46:10,212 Speaker 2: they should have thought about that properly when they knew 856 00:46:10,253 --> 00:46:11,773 Speaker 2: they were going in to do these roadworks and it 857 00:46:11,853 --> 00:46:14,213 Speaker 2: was going to screw a lot of these businesses. But 858 00:46:14,493 --> 00:46:17,212 Speaker 2: when it comes to that accountability, what are you talking 859 00:46:17,253 --> 00:46:19,573 Speaker 2: about heads rolling? People losing their jobs or it comes 860 00:46:19,613 --> 00:46:20,773 Speaker 2: out of their paycheck. 861 00:46:23,213 --> 00:46:26,093 Speaker 25: They should lose their jobs. I'm the bilder. If I 862 00:46:26,653 --> 00:46:29,573 Speaker 25: building your house and I put the slab in the 863 00:46:29,613 --> 00:46:30,853 Speaker 25: wrong place, who pays for that? 864 00:46:31,693 --> 00:46:31,893 Speaker 21: Yeah? 865 00:46:33,013 --> 00:46:35,133 Speaker 25: I mean it has to stop. 866 00:46:35,213 --> 00:46:35,533 Speaker 23: Tyler. 867 00:46:35,613 --> 00:46:39,493 Speaker 25: We just well, we're treated as if we were an 868 00:46:39,533 --> 00:46:40,373 Speaker 25: ATM machine. 869 00:46:40,453 --> 00:46:40,652 Speaker 3: Mate. 870 00:46:40,853 --> 00:46:43,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I suppose that. I mean the argument with 871 00:46:44,093 --> 00:46:48,013 Speaker 2: this particular situation, it was a council committee and we 872 00:46:48,213 --> 00:46:51,013 Speaker 2: know who are on those committees. Paul is the councilors. 873 00:46:51,573 --> 00:46:53,853 Speaker 2: So when we talk about sacking the council as well, 874 00:46:53,893 --> 00:46:56,813 Speaker 2: there's a Crown observer in there. Now say never, say never, 875 00:46:57,333 --> 00:47:00,493 Speaker 2: But that's you know, when the people in Wellington get 876 00:47:00,493 --> 00:47:02,093 Speaker 2: to the next election. I'm sure there's going to be 877 00:47:02,133 --> 00:47:03,493 Speaker 2: big changes in that council. 878 00:47:05,893 --> 00:47:09,933 Speaker 25: Well, there needs to be. I I'm involved in quite 879 00:47:09,933 --> 00:47:13,733 Speaker 25: a lot of committees, and I always find that generally 880 00:47:13,853 --> 00:47:16,253 Speaker 25: people that want to go on committees and tell everyone 881 00:47:16,573 --> 00:47:18,773 Speaker 25: how they should and shouldn't first stuff to be the 882 00:47:18,853 --> 00:47:26,813 Speaker 25: people that have the list amount of knowledge. Yeah you yes, 883 00:47:27,933 --> 00:47:30,333 Speaker 25: it's even like one point two million dollars for a 884 00:47:30,413 --> 00:47:34,252 Speaker 25: Christmas tree and lookment who's actually checked to make sure 885 00:47:34,293 --> 00:47:35,093 Speaker 25: that's for kosher? 886 00:47:35,373 --> 00:47:35,573 Speaker 21: Yeah? 887 00:47:35,733 --> 00:47:37,893 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well we did talk about that a little bit 888 00:47:37,933 --> 00:47:40,853 Speaker 2: earlier this week, and yep, clearly a lot of controverts 889 00:47:40,893 --> 00:47:43,693 Speaker 2: around there. That one was harder because it's Christmas. You know, 890 00:47:43,893 --> 00:47:46,813 Speaker 2: it's a Christmas tree, and that becomes a little bit 891 00:47:46,853 --> 00:47:49,133 Speaker 2: harder as it becomes a motive and kids love Christmas 892 00:47:49,133 --> 00:47:50,773 Speaker 2: and all that. But I get your point, and that's 893 00:47:50,853 --> 00:47:52,893 Speaker 2: the lot of tecks we got through saying how does 894 00:47:52,933 --> 00:47:55,613 Speaker 2: this keep happening again and again and again that these 895 00:47:56,253 --> 00:47:58,333 Speaker 2: as you say, it's like an ATM machine, And we 896 00:47:58,533 --> 00:48:02,093 Speaker 2: just feel like the councils and the governments to a 897 00:48:02,213 --> 00:48:04,333 Speaker 2: lesser extent, but certainly they have in the past, are 898 00:48:04,373 --> 00:48:07,252 Speaker 2: not making sound financial decisions because they feel they don't 899 00:48:07,293 --> 00:48:07,493 Speaker 2: have to. 900 00:48:09,093 --> 00:48:11,613 Speaker 25: Well, they need to be dragged into line because at 901 00:48:11,613 --> 00:48:14,373 Speaker 25: the end of the day, mate, they have got the 902 00:48:14,493 --> 00:48:17,333 Speaker 25: best of the expertise available to them if they need 903 00:48:17,453 --> 00:48:21,692 Speaker 25: to get consultancy or whatever, and maybe they should get 904 00:48:21,733 --> 00:48:25,013 Speaker 25: the stuff here reviewed and then they don't make these 905 00:48:25,093 --> 00:48:29,013 Speaker 25: colossal How can you actually do that work and then 906 00:48:29,053 --> 00:48:32,813 Speaker 25: when it's finished say, oh, hell there was a mistake. 907 00:48:33,013 --> 00:48:34,373 Speaker 25: It's madness mate. 908 00:48:34,613 --> 00:48:37,333 Speaker 2: Yeah, But just going back to the compensation aspect, and 909 00:48:37,413 --> 00:48:39,493 Speaker 2: I get your point about sacking them and a lot 910 00:48:39,533 --> 00:48:41,933 Speaker 2: of the people that decided they wanted to remove these 911 00:48:42,053 --> 00:48:44,812 Speaker 2: raised safety platforms after deciding they were a good idea 912 00:48:44,893 --> 00:48:47,293 Speaker 2: of counselors and their time may or may not come 913 00:48:47,413 --> 00:48:50,453 Speaker 2: during the next election. But when it comes to compensation 914 00:48:50,573 --> 00:48:53,933 Speaker 2: from rates, how do you feel about that? My stance, Paul, genuinely, 915 00:48:53,973 --> 00:48:56,413 Speaker 2: as a ratepayer in christ Church, if this situation happened 916 00:48:56,453 --> 00:48:58,973 Speaker 2: in christ Church and a business was going under because 917 00:48:58,973 --> 00:49:01,333 Speaker 2: it was a council stuff up, I would be okay 918 00:49:01,453 --> 00:49:03,413 Speaker 2: with some of my rates going to that business because 919 00:49:03,413 --> 00:49:05,732 Speaker 2: I can see the unfair nature of it. Yes, it's 920 00:49:05,773 --> 00:49:08,013 Speaker 2: going to cost me as a ratepayer, but I would 921 00:49:08,093 --> 00:49:10,173 Speaker 2: be okay with it going to that business because I 922 00:49:10,253 --> 00:49:13,493 Speaker 2: can see that's a business that is going to crumble 923 00:49:13,573 --> 00:49:14,732 Speaker 2: through no fault of their own. 924 00:49:17,173 --> 00:49:21,173 Speaker 25: Yes, they do need compensation, no doubt about it. But 925 00:49:21,693 --> 00:49:24,253 Speaker 25: you know, at the end of the day, you've got 926 00:49:24,333 --> 00:49:27,013 Speaker 25: to stop being the ones that had paid the compensations 927 00:49:27,013 --> 00:49:29,573 Speaker 25: because we're not the ones that are making these mistakes. 928 00:49:30,253 --> 00:49:33,653 Speaker 2: Yeah, Paul, always great to chat mate. Thank you very much, David. 929 00:49:33,693 --> 00:49:35,853 Speaker 2: How are you, yah, Tyler? 930 00:49:36,253 --> 00:49:39,093 Speaker 10: I hope to get your Christmas camping thing sorted it 931 00:49:39,133 --> 00:49:40,133 Speaker 10: out before Christmas. 932 00:49:40,773 --> 00:49:43,733 Speaker 2: Well, the inflatable tents turned out. Man, you should have 933 00:49:43,773 --> 00:49:46,573 Speaker 2: seen the text machine and the emails I've got with suggestions. 934 00:49:46,973 --> 00:49:49,533 Speaker 2: I wasn't wrong. People are loving the inflatable tents. But 935 00:49:49,573 --> 00:49:51,252 Speaker 2: we'll get to that alf to three o'clock David. 936 00:49:52,093 --> 00:49:58,213 Speaker 10: Yes, okay, Look, it's reprehensible that the compensation should not 937 00:49:58,373 --> 00:50:02,093 Speaker 10: be paid, and it's obvious that the Paul retailers have 938 00:50:02,213 --> 00:50:05,973 Speaker 10: been barely trees have. But look, just the slightly wider 939 00:50:06,053 --> 00:50:09,133 Speaker 10: issue is that, as you be aware of the Simeon 940 00:50:09,293 --> 00:50:15,613 Speaker 10: Brown has appoints an observer right to the council and 941 00:50:16,453 --> 00:50:19,973 Speaker 10: there's a lot of discussion on talkback radio with Neck 942 00:50:20,053 --> 00:50:22,853 Speaker 10: Mills that that's not enough, it should have been a 943 00:50:22,893 --> 00:50:29,373 Speaker 10: commissioner because the council officers, the not the Council laws, 944 00:50:29,493 --> 00:50:33,133 Speaker 10: you know, the bearucrats who advised the council we were 945 00:50:33,173 --> 00:50:36,333 Speaker 10: supposed to have made major stuffs up. There's just one 946 00:50:36,413 --> 00:50:43,133 Speaker 10: of many taking up the road again, and it's the 947 00:50:43,213 --> 00:50:46,453 Speaker 10: observed just observes, and he just observes the council. It's nuts. 948 00:50:46,533 --> 00:50:49,213 Speaker 10: He should have gone much further. A commissioner could go 949 00:50:49,373 --> 00:50:53,493 Speaker 10: deep inside the council and root out the dead wood 950 00:50:53,653 --> 00:50:56,613 Speaker 10: and the bad wood. And just one final example the 951 00:50:56,693 --> 00:51:00,973 Speaker 10: bedwood is the advice that the bearacrats gave to Council 952 00:51:01,053 --> 00:51:05,373 Speaker 10: Laws about this whole rabbit whole thing of selling the 953 00:51:05,893 --> 00:51:06,693 Speaker 10: airport chairs. 954 00:51:07,173 --> 00:51:09,413 Speaker 2: May it may still go to the point, David, you know, 955 00:51:09,813 --> 00:51:12,213 Speaker 2: step one is the Crown observer. And the Crown observer 956 00:51:12,333 --> 00:51:14,133 Speaker 2: gets in there and starts to have a look around 957 00:51:14,173 --> 00:51:16,813 Speaker 2: and assess the situation and the books and the behavior 958 00:51:16,853 --> 00:51:19,493 Speaker 2: of counselors. And if he reports back to Simon Brown 959 00:51:19,573 --> 00:51:22,133 Speaker 2: that all is not well and this is far more 960 00:51:22,213 --> 00:51:24,773 Speaker 2: serious than originally thought, then it may end up being 961 00:51:24,813 --> 00:51:25,733 Speaker 2: commissioners appointed. 962 00:51:26,893 --> 00:51:29,053 Speaker 10: Yes, I think a lot of people would have a 963 00:51:29,133 --> 00:51:32,973 Speaker 10: party on that, you know, on the mega hats. 964 00:51:33,053 --> 00:51:36,813 Speaker 2: Maybe well, I'll find out how long it's going to 965 00:51:36,853 --> 00:51:39,533 Speaker 2: take for the Crown Observer to report back to Simeon 966 00:51:39,613 --> 00:51:41,813 Speaker 2: Brown and see if I can find that information out, 967 00:51:42,253 --> 00:51:44,933 Speaker 2: because yeah, look, we all know that the Crown Observer 968 00:51:45,173 --> 00:51:49,893 Speaker 2: was the least egregious option in terms of well that 969 00:51:50,053 --> 00:51:52,813 Speaker 2: was the light touch, right, But that's only step one, 970 00:51:53,293 --> 00:51:55,133 Speaker 2: and his job is to report back to Simmy and 971 00:51:55,173 --> 00:51:58,573 Speaker 2: Brown at some stage about his what he's observed, and 972 00:51:58,813 --> 00:52:01,013 Speaker 2: if he doesn't like what he's observed, or he sees 973 00:52:01,173 --> 00:52:04,373 Speaker 2: behavior within that council that is deeply disturbing, then the 974 00:52:04,453 --> 00:52:06,613 Speaker 2: next step is Commissioner's. 975 00:52:06,053 --> 00:52:09,973 Speaker 10: Clearly he hasn't told you apparently has to report back 976 00:52:10,053 --> 00:52:12,613 Speaker 10: by July, which is months and months away. You know, 977 00:52:12,853 --> 00:52:15,172 Speaker 10: if they're going to be tearing up roads and he's 978 00:52:15,253 --> 00:52:18,853 Speaker 10: poor retailers, you know, they're really suffered, and all the 979 00:52:18,973 --> 00:52:23,652 Speaker 10: interests of cyclists. It's predicted the year twenty thirty four, 980 00:52:23,773 --> 00:52:26,773 Speaker 10: that's going to be four thousand cyclists on along thorns 981 00:52:26,813 --> 00:52:30,413 Speaker 10: and key. Well, I'd love to see the mathematics behind 982 00:52:30,453 --> 00:52:33,773 Speaker 10: that prediction, but you be I want hold you up. 983 00:52:34,053 --> 00:52:39,293 Speaker 10: It's he should have seen in a more thorough investigation 984 00:52:39,653 --> 00:52:40,213 Speaker 10: a commission. 985 00:52:40,253 --> 00:52:42,533 Speaker 2: That's just fair enough and just quickly, David, you don't 986 00:52:42,573 --> 00:52:44,253 Speaker 2: ever spe a holiday home and moral sounds to you. 987 00:52:45,213 --> 00:52:46,212 Speaker 10: I do actually. 988 00:52:47,413 --> 00:52:48,252 Speaker 21: Like Cargo Bay. 989 00:52:48,373 --> 00:52:50,933 Speaker 10: I think you and I've talked about you're like Cargo Bay. 990 00:52:51,253 --> 00:52:51,853 Speaker 10: That's your head. 991 00:52:51,973 --> 00:52:53,813 Speaker 2: Oh maybe maybe, And you have a chat off here 992 00:52:53,893 --> 00:52:56,213 Speaker 2: because I'll mention after three what happened.

And businesses are crying out saying this is 1005 00:53:34,773 --> 00:53:37,573 Speaker 2: utter madness. They are struggling. The end was in sight 1006 00:53:37,773 --> 00:53:40,293 Speaker 2: and now they're back to almost square one. So does 1007 00:53:40,373 --> 00:53:42,212 Speaker 2: he need to be compensation. Oh, eight hundred and eighty 1008 00:53:42,253 --> 00:53:43,213 Speaker 2: ten eighty is a number to call. 1009 00:53:43,253 --> 00:53:48,573 Speaker 26: Get Andrew Gooday Tyler. Anybody was more than half an 1010 00:53:48,613 --> 00:53:55,053 Speaker 26: ounce of what's with justice or compassion in their and 1011 00:53:55,173 --> 00:53:59,652 Speaker 26: their brain would have to say Corso's businesses should be compensated. 1012 00:54:00,053 --> 00:54:03,333 Speaker 26: But I think I think the bigger question is is 1013 00:54:04,093 --> 00:54:10,973 Speaker 26: about the incompetence, the lack of accountability of the councils 1014 00:54:11,133 --> 00:54:13,733 Speaker 26: all around the country, you know, and how do they 1015 00:54:13,813 --> 00:54:15,933 Speaker 26: come up with the costs, Like in Auckland you have 1016 00:54:16,013 --> 00:54:21,133 Speaker 26: the windyard bridge, sixteen million dollars to fix it, build 1017 00:54:21,173 --> 00:54:22,653 Speaker 26: a new one planet and so on. 1018 00:54:22,893 --> 00:54:23,733 Speaker 12: It's to fix it. 1019 00:54:24,133 --> 00:54:27,733 Speaker 26: How do they come up with these numbers? You know, 1020 00:54:27,893 --> 00:54:32,493 Speaker 26: the numbers that these people come up with are just extraordinary. 1021 00:54:33,613 --> 00:54:36,293 Speaker 26: And then they say, oh, it'll blow out, so you 1022 00:54:36,373 --> 00:54:38,853 Speaker 26: can you can double that number. You know, if you 1023 00:54:38,933 --> 00:54:41,493 Speaker 26: say sixteen million, it's going to be thirty two million 1024 00:54:41,533 --> 00:54:44,653 Speaker 26: by time they've finished. Well, where's the accountability if I 1025 00:54:45,093 --> 00:54:47,093 Speaker 26: if I around a project like that in my work, 1026 00:54:47,173 --> 00:54:49,293 Speaker 26: I'd be unembroyed by it by lunchtime. 1027 00:54:49,893 --> 00:54:50,133 Speaker 8: Yeah. 1028 00:54:50,533 --> 00:54:53,933 Speaker 2: Well, in the Auckland situation, I think that is more 1029 00:54:54,013 --> 00:54:57,813 Speaker 2: interesting than other places around the country because of the mayor, 1030 00:54:58,133 --> 00:55:01,973 Speaker 2: and he's he's made pains that at the overspending areas 1031 00:55:02,053 --> 00:55:05,293 Speaker 2: that he would consider ludicrous. But I suppose that that 1032 00:55:05,453 --> 00:55:08,692 Speaker 2: paints why it's such a problem that someone like me Brown, 1033 00:55:09,013 --> 00:55:13,053 Speaker 2: who is quite a strident character and he doesn't tolerate fools, 1034 00:55:13,733 --> 00:55:16,732 Speaker 2: he appears to be struggling to get that cut through 1035 00:55:16,813 --> 00:55:19,493 Speaker 2: that these decisions still kept getting made, and he's still 1036 00:55:19,573 --> 00:55:21,853 Speaker 2: in the papers saying what a stupid decision? Why are 1037 00:55:21,853 --> 00:55:24,613 Speaker 2: we spending this money? But as of yet hasn't managed 1038 00:55:24,653 --> 00:55:25,053 Speaker 2: to change it. 1039 00:55:26,253 --> 00:55:26,373 Speaker 20: Oh. 1040 00:55:26,533 --> 00:55:30,333 Speaker 26: Absolutely, but it's you know you, I think you've got 1041 00:55:30,373 --> 00:55:33,533 Speaker 26: to take a look at councils and understand that it's 1042 00:55:33,613 --> 00:55:36,253 Speaker 26: not the elected. It's not the elected councilors that are 1043 00:55:36,333 --> 00:55:42,373 Speaker 26: running it. It's it's the high powered bureaucrats behind them, 1044 00:55:42,533 --> 00:55:45,613 Speaker 26: and highly paid bureaucrats behind them as well. Yeah, and 1045 00:55:45,693 --> 00:55:50,013 Speaker 26: so you know the need in hospitals another example, they said, 1046 00:55:50,013 --> 00:55:52,533 Speaker 26: oh it's going to cost four hundred and fifty million. 1047 00:55:52,293 --> 00:55:52,773 Speaker 11: To build it. 1048 00:55:53,173 --> 00:55:55,733 Speaker 26: We've only budgeted three hundred and fifty million, and we 1049 00:55:55,853 --> 00:55:58,732 Speaker 26: know by time it's felt it'll be seven hundred million. 1050 00:55:58,773 --> 00:56:00,973 Speaker 26: I'm making those numbers up, obviously, but. 1051 00:56:02,493 --> 00:56:03,493 Speaker 4: You know it's just. 1052 00:56:05,333 --> 00:56:08,133 Speaker 26: How on earth can you say, oh, we're going to 1053 00:56:08,173 --> 00:56:11,933 Speaker 26: have a project and we expect of the budgeted price 1054 00:56:12,053 --> 00:56:12,533 Speaker 26: to double. 1055 00:56:12,653 --> 00:56:14,653 Speaker 14: How can you how can. 1056 00:56:14,573 --> 00:56:21,853 Speaker 26: You function with that degree of incompetence? You know another example, 1057 00:56:21,973 --> 00:56:25,772 Speaker 26: I've lived in my house for five years. The road 1058 00:56:25,893 --> 00:56:29,453 Speaker 26: outside it has been dug up six times in that 1059 00:56:29,693 --> 00:56:30,333 Speaker 26: five years. 1060 00:56:30,853 --> 00:56:33,693 Speaker 2: Yeah, now, no, I get it, you know, you know, 1061 00:56:33,773 --> 00:56:35,293 Speaker 2: I gotta make a joke and say maybe they just 1062 00:56:35,373 --> 00:56:37,533 Speaker 2: love digging holes. But I get your frustration. And this 1063 00:56:37,693 --> 00:56:41,252 Speaker 2: is what it's about, right, It is the frustrating scenarios 1064 00:56:41,373 --> 00:56:47,213 Speaker 2: and some people, you know, I get some situations are 1065 00:56:47,293 --> 00:56:49,692 Speaker 2: a bit more complicated in the world we're in at 1066 00:56:49,693 --> 00:56:52,973 Speaker 2: the moment. Some some that you know, there's inflation and 1067 00:56:53,013 --> 00:56:55,252 Speaker 2: cost of materials and where a country in the corner 1068 00:56:55,293 --> 00:56:56,853 Speaker 2: of the world, and some of those materials need to 1069 00:56:56,853 --> 00:57:00,373 Speaker 2: be shipped here. But when it's everything, every project seems 1070 00:57:00,493 --> 00:57:04,533 Speaker 2: to double quadruple. Most people in New Zealand are looking 1071 00:57:04,533 --> 00:57:07,653 Speaker 2: at that and thinking why, why, why, And when it 1072 00:57:07,773 --> 00:57:11,013 Speaker 2: starts to bloon out, why isn't someone jumping in there insane. 1073 00:57:11,493 --> 00:57:13,533 Speaker 2: We're not going to have this. We're not going to 1074 00:57:13,693 --> 00:57:15,853 Speaker 2: double the budget for a project. We said we're going 1075 00:57:15,933 --> 00:57:17,893 Speaker 2: to spend this much and if you can't do it 1076 00:57:17,973 --> 00:57:20,573 Speaker 2: for that much, we'll within close to that region. Then 1077 00:57:20,613 --> 00:57:21,293 Speaker 2: we're not going to do it. 1078 00:57:24,093 --> 00:57:27,453 Speaker 26: Well, look, there's a thing called liquid data damages. Why 1079 00:57:27,613 --> 00:57:30,853 Speaker 26: is there not liquid data damages in these contracts in 1080 00:57:30,973 --> 00:57:35,453 Speaker 26: the private sector? If I do a project for newsborg ZDB, 1081 00:57:35,613 --> 00:57:38,373 Speaker 26: I'm going to build you a new studio and it's 1082 00:57:38,413 --> 00:57:40,973 Speaker 26: going to cost ten million dollars and it has to 1083 00:57:41,053 --> 00:57:44,373 Speaker 26: be finished by June the twenty fifth of June next year. 1084 00:57:45,493 --> 00:57:48,453 Speaker 26: On the twenty sixth of June next year, if I 1085 00:57:48,613 --> 00:57:52,133 Speaker 26: haven't built you that studio for ten million dollars, you're 1086 00:57:52,173 --> 00:57:57,373 Speaker 26: going to start charging me out of retentions and deducting 1087 00:57:57,453 --> 00:57:59,893 Speaker 26: money out of retentions for non performance. 1088 00:58:00,573 --> 00:58:02,893 Speaker 20: That's how the real world works. 1089 00:58:03,413 --> 00:58:08,213 Speaker 26: Why don't councils in public service work under the same 1090 00:58:09,653 --> 00:58:13,653 Speaker 26: restraints and accountabilities as everybody else? 1091 00:58:13,893 --> 00:58:15,973 Speaker 2: Yep, it's a good point. And just to bring it 1092 00:58:16,053 --> 00:58:18,773 Speaker 2: back to the compensation for these businesses in this scenario, 1093 00:58:19,093 --> 00:58:21,213 Speaker 2: how would you feel about that? Andrew? Clearly it's got 1094 00:58:21,253 --> 00:58:23,653 Speaker 2: to come from from the rate space. Is that a 1095 00:58:23,733 --> 00:58:25,213 Speaker 2: fair thing to do for these businesses? 1096 00:58:26,373 --> 00:58:28,213 Speaker 12: Well, it's not a fair thing to do for the 1097 00:58:28,333 --> 00:58:28,933 Speaker 12: rate payers. 1098 00:58:29,093 --> 00:58:32,533 Speaker 26: But a fair thing to do is to compensate them, 1099 00:58:32,853 --> 00:58:39,093 Speaker 26: and and I don't see any other way of them 1100 00:58:39,213 --> 00:58:43,973 Speaker 26: receiving anycount any compensation because there won't be liquidated damages 1101 00:58:44,013 --> 00:58:47,173 Speaker 26: in that contract with Fulton Hogan or whoever it is, 1102 00:58:48,133 --> 00:58:54,093 Speaker 26: and there won't be accountability clauses built into the manager 1103 00:58:54,173 --> 00:58:58,893 Speaker 26: of roading services for Wellington Council or Auckland, Auckland Transport 1104 00:58:59,053 --> 00:59:01,573 Speaker 26: or whatever. So we need we need to we need 1105 00:59:01,653 --> 00:59:05,533 Speaker 26: to start doing this and doing it with vigor.

But the roadworks on Thorndon Key 1140 01:01:08,413 --> 01:01:11,413 Speaker 2: were started some time ago and the end date was 1141 01:01:11,493 --> 01:01:14,533 Speaker 2: in sight, and businesses have been struggling and hurting, as 1142 01:01:14,613 --> 01:01:17,933 Speaker 2: you can imagine. And then the council decided that part 1143 01:01:18,093 --> 01:01:21,613 Speaker 2: of that construction they didn't like anymore raised safety platforms, 1144 01:01:21,653 --> 01:01:24,493 Speaker 2: so they sent the construction crews back in just as 1145 01:01:24,533 --> 01:01:26,573 Speaker 2: it was about to be completed and have dug it 1146 01:01:26,653 --> 01:01:30,293 Speaker 2: back up again. So businesses are saying this is utter madness. 1147 01:01:30,413 --> 01:01:33,573 Speaker 2: My question is at that point should they be compensated? 1148 01:01:33,653 --> 01:01:37,293 Speaker 2: That is clearly a stuff up with no consideration given 1149 01:01:37,333 --> 01:01:39,413 Speaker 2: to those businesses. Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty 1150 01:01:39,493 --> 01:01:42,213 Speaker 2: is the number to call, Gabrielle.

First of all, the observer, 1157 01:01:58,533 --> 01:02:02,573 Speaker 27: the Crown observer that already is he he can't actually 1158 01:02:02,773 --> 01:02:06,933 Speaker 27: defer or stop any decision that that council had made. 1159 01:02:07,053 --> 01:02:08,053 Speaker 10: Can no no. 1160 01:02:09,733 --> 01:02:12,853 Speaker 27: Observe that's what he does, So wold have made any 1161 01:02:12,933 --> 01:02:15,213 Speaker 27: differ respect that he started on Monday and he's in 1162 01:02:15,293 --> 01:02:19,813 Speaker 27: there today. He just observes. The other thing was that 1163 01:02:22,133 --> 01:02:25,013 Speaker 27: the council would have been good if we could have 1164 01:02:25,093 --> 01:02:30,093 Speaker 27: had somebody from there in that group on radio where 1165 01:02:30,093 --> 01:02:33,173 Speaker 27: you could interview them. They don't have to take questions 1166 01:02:33,253 --> 01:02:35,133 Speaker 27: from us. It'd be a million of us ready to 1167 01:02:35,253 --> 01:02:38,253 Speaker 27: jump the phone. But even if you could interview them, 1168 01:02:38,493 --> 01:02:39,373 Speaker 27: that would have been good. 1169 01:02:39,653 --> 01:02:42,893 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I'll find out who sits on that particular committee. 1170 01:02:43,453 --> 01:02:45,893 Speaker 2: But as we know, Gabrielle, those committees are made up 1171 01:02:46,133 --> 01:02:50,053 Speaker 2: of counselors. They get information and advice from staff members 1172 01:02:50,133 --> 01:02:54,653 Speaker 2: within council, but ultimately they are decisions made by counselors. 1173 01:02:55,533 --> 01:02:59,933 Speaker 27: You're right exactly, So that's why it would be good 1174 01:02:59,973 --> 01:03:02,533 Speaker 27: to get one of them and anyway that's more input. 1175 01:03:02,773 --> 01:03:05,653 Speaker 2: No enough, Well, just as a as a Wellentonian, Gabrielle, 1176 01:03:05,893 --> 01:03:09,093 Speaker 2: would you in this instance and we know that your 1177 01:03:09,173 --> 01:03:11,853 Speaker 2: rates have gone up astronomically and really feel for you 1178 01:03:11,973 --> 01:03:14,093 Speaker 2: guys in Wellington far more than other places in New 1179 01:03:14,173 --> 01:03:17,053 Speaker 2: Zealand and most most major settings have had big increases 1180 01:03:17,093 --> 01:03:18,853 Speaker 2: to their rates. Don't get me wrong, but for you, 1181 01:03:19,133 --> 01:03:21,133 Speaker 2: would you be okay with some of your rates going 1182 01:03:21,173 --> 01:03:24,413 Speaker 2: to these businesses in this scenario to compensate them. 1183 01:03:25,813 --> 01:03:27,613 Speaker 27: Yeah, because of the circumstances. 1184 01:03:28,053 --> 01:03:31,213 Speaker 2: Yes, very nice to chat with you, Gabriel.

How are you, David? 1187 01:03:37,853 --> 01:03:39,013 Speaker 19: Are Tyler good? 1188 01:03:39,293 --> 01:03:41,653 Speaker 2: Now you've got some intel from Barcelona? 1189 01:03:42,853 --> 01:03:43,733 Speaker 17: I have, I have. 1190 01:03:45,173 --> 01:03:47,533 Speaker 19: I was just fortunate to be away for a month 1191 01:03:47,613 --> 01:03:52,253 Speaker 19: and had two weeks driving around Croatia and then two 1192 01:03:52,293 --> 01:03:53,293 Speaker 19: weeks in Barcelona. 1193 01:03:53,493 --> 01:03:53,973 Speaker 2: Lucky man. 1194 01:03:55,493 --> 01:03:58,453 Speaker 19: Unbelievably, I never saw one road cone. 1195 01:04:00,173 --> 01:04:01,653 Speaker 2: What have they got against road cones? 1196 01:04:02,773 --> 01:04:02,933 Speaker 19: Oh? 1197 01:04:03,053 --> 01:04:03,453 Speaker 18: I don't know. 1198 01:04:04,213 --> 01:04:09,973 Speaker 19: But even the main street in Barcelona, they Larumbla, they 1199 01:04:10,013 --> 01:04:15,253 Speaker 19: were doing extensive roadworks and there still wasn't a road cone. 1200 01:04:15,653 --> 01:04:19,413 Speaker 19: All they had was little meter high fences and all 1201 01:04:19,533 --> 01:04:22,213 Speaker 19: the pedestrians are just walking up and down getting on 1202 01:04:22,413 --> 01:04:25,853 Speaker 19: with their daily business. As that the workers actually working 1203 01:04:25,933 --> 01:04:31,093 Speaker 19: in the construction the dead. It was just happened in 1204 01:04:31,173 --> 01:04:38,293 Speaker 19: a formerly manner. And also the America's Cup like there 1205 01:04:38,373 --> 01:04:40,933 Speaker 19: must have been I don't know five thousand Kiwis or 1206 01:04:41,013 --> 01:04:43,653 Speaker 19: more there and everyone was saying, where are all the 1207 01:04:43,733 --> 01:04:44,333 Speaker 19: road cones? 1208 01:04:45,613 --> 01:04:47,013 Speaker 12: No roadne we can give. 1209 01:04:46,973 --> 01:04:48,853 Speaker 2: Them some of our road cones. We got plenty. 1210 01:04:49,093 --> 01:04:52,533 Speaker 19: Well, I mean I couldn't count. I couldn't count how 1211 01:04:52,613 --> 01:04:56,573 Speaker 19: many road cones I saw between Mangre and my house 1212 01:04:56,653 --> 01:04:59,653 Speaker 19: there after we got back to Auckland. It's just unbelievable. 1213 01:04:59,813 --> 01:05:05,493 Speaker 2: Well, it's just bs, is what it is that these 1214 01:05:05,533 --> 01:05:05,973 Speaker 2: guys need. 1215 01:05:06,013 --> 01:05:10,173 Speaker 19: And they even't need a real eye opener. But as 1216 01:05:10,213 --> 01:05:13,413 Speaker 19: far as Wellington, there's a lot of fat cats at 1217 01:05:13,453 --> 01:05:16,173 Speaker 19: the top end that have got all the money, i e. 1218 01:05:16,933 --> 01:05:19,933 Speaker 19: Consultants and engineers. Now, I don't think the rate payers 1219 01:05:19,933 --> 01:05:24,213 Speaker 19: should be paying to have jobs done twice. Yeah, they 1220 01:05:24,373 --> 01:05:27,453 Speaker 19: paid once and that's enough. If the council decided, well 1221 01:05:27,453 --> 01:05:31,613 Speaker 19: they cocked it up, well then put in their own pockets. Yeah, 1222 01:05:32,053 --> 01:05:34,333 Speaker 19: don't go to don't go to the ratepayers. People are 1223 01:05:34,373 --> 01:05:35,293 Speaker 19: struggling as it is. 1224 01:05:36,253 --> 01:05:39,333 Speaker 16: Well, yeah, because what will happened next year? 1225 01:05:39,333 --> 01:05:41,013 Speaker 19: We'll just get passed on. I'm sorry, we've got an 1226 01:05:41,053 --> 01:05:42,013 Speaker 19: increase in rates again. 1227 01:05:42,493 --> 01:05:45,733 Speaker 2: Well, this is why this one's slightly Well, I don't 1228 01:05:45,773 --> 01:05:48,933 Speaker 2: think it's that complicated, but it's not the construction workers 1229 01:05:49,013 --> 01:05:51,333 Speaker 2: issue here. This was a decision by the council to 1230 01:05:51,493 --> 01:05:55,013 Speaker 2: change something that was already agreed to. So in this instance, 1231 01:05:55,453 --> 01:05:57,813 Speaker 2: I can't blame the contractors and I don't think anyone can. 1232 01:05:57,893 --> 01:06:02,613 Speaker 2: They're just doing what they're told to do. And this 1233 01:06:02,733 --> 01:06:04,253 Speaker 2: is why I think it's a good discussion, but a 1234 01:06:04,293 --> 01:06:06,653 Speaker 2: hard discussion, right, is that we can all feel a 1235 01:06:06,693 --> 01:06:09,373 Speaker 2: lot of sympathy for these businesses, and anyone that's set 1236 01:06:09,493 --> 01:06:11,773 Speaker 2: up a business knows what goes into that and what 1237 01:06:11,893 --> 01:06:14,213 Speaker 2: you put at risk and the hours that you have 1238 01:06:14,373 --> 01:06:17,213 Speaker 2: to invest to setting up those businesses and hoping that 1239 01:06:17,333 --> 01:06:20,653 Speaker 2: it's going to work. And when you are cut off 1240 01:06:20,733 --> 01:06:23,453 Speaker 2: at the knees by a council that appears to be 1241 01:06:23,773 --> 01:06:28,733 Speaker 2: unsympathetic to people losing their livelihoods, then me is as 1242 01:06:28,813 --> 01:06:31,013 Speaker 2: a rate payer, I would be okay with some of 1243 01:06:31,053 --> 01:06:33,333 Speaker 2: those rates going to those businesses, even though I know 1244 01:06:33,373 --> 01:06:37,093 Speaker 2: it's deeply unfair to help those businesses. You know, I 1245 01:06:37,133 --> 01:06:39,293 Speaker 2: suppose it's that scale of Yes, i'd be angry at 1246 01:06:39,333 --> 01:06:42,653 Speaker 2: the council, but I just feel so much sympathy for 1247 01:06:42,733 --> 01:06:43,333 Speaker 2: those businesses. 1248 01:06:44,773 --> 01:06:47,773 Speaker 19: Well, yeah, well we've got we've got the same situation 1249 01:06:47,893 --> 01:06:49,613 Speaker 19: here with the light rail that they've been doing here 1250 01:06:49,653 --> 01:06:52,493 Speaker 19: for god knows how many years in the city.

And 1323 01:10:18,492 --> 01:10:20,572 Speaker 9: there's one point six million dollars or nothing.

He just 1344 01:11:09,133 --> 01:11:11,213 Speaker 9: does it anyway. And it's book bombarding and there's no 1345 01:11:11,293 --> 01:11:13,133 Speaker 9: oversight on it. There's no one saying, hey, you can't 1346 01:11:13,213 --> 01:11:15,652 Speaker 9: do that. There is no rules because they are erected 1347 01:11:15,692 --> 01:11:18,133 Speaker 9: in and they are they look after the public. And 1348 01:11:18,253 --> 01:11:20,372 Speaker 9: it's just if you look at the systems and the 1349 01:11:20,492 --> 01:11:24,532 Speaker 9: processes and everything, and I understand why the meal would 1350 01:11:24,572 --> 01:11:27,732 Speaker 9: be so frustrated because here we seeing this and there's 1351 01:11:27,772 --> 01:11:30,492 Speaker 9: nothing you can do about it.

Say, well, old answer that, I'll go 1362 01:11:55,293 --> 01:11:57,333 Speaker 9: and speak to ten people and I'll give you an 1363 01:11:57,333 --> 01:11:58,372 Speaker 9: answer because that's your job. 1364 01:11:58,612 --> 01:12:01,812 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, whoever wants that position. I mean these you 1365 01:12:01,933 --> 01:12:03,892 Speaker 2: am o next election to get them off the off 1366 01:12:03,973 --> 01:12:06,532 Speaker 2: that local board at simon, how you doing. 1367 01:12:09,253 --> 01:12:11,173 Speaker 12: I've got a solution for them. So I'm in the 1368 01:12:11,333 --> 01:12:13,452 Speaker 12: industry and an well, and like we get liquid at 1369 01:12:13,492 --> 01:12:15,173 Speaker 12: the damages on jobs for the rest of it if 1370 01:12:15,213 --> 01:12:17,892 Speaker 12: we don't finish on time. So if you say you've 1371 01:12:17,933 --> 01:12:20,572 Speaker 12: got a million dollar job you're doing. Yeah, basically there's 1372 01:12:20,572 --> 01:12:22,612 Speaker 12: a ten percent retention, so one hundred thousand, and that 1373 01:12:22,772 --> 01:12:25,452 Speaker 12: if you haven't finished it by a tight to time frame. 1374 01:12:26,133 --> 01:12:28,093 Speaker 12: You also have a contract with all the companies that 1375 01:12:28,133 --> 01:12:31,652 Speaker 12: you're affecting, and so there's ten businesses that are affected. 1376 01:12:32,213 --> 01:12:34,652 Speaker 12: If the job goes longer than your set time, that 1377 01:12:34,772 --> 01:12:38,173 Speaker 12: liquid of damages doesn't go into council and disappear, goes 1378 01:12:38,213 --> 01:12:41,372 Speaker 12: into a fund that pays the businesses for jobs running 1379 01:12:41,412 --> 01:12:41,892 Speaker 12: over time. 1380 01:12:42,253 --> 01:12:46,253 Speaker 2: Great idea, I mean that would be you know, but 1381 01:12:46,372 --> 01:12:49,052 Speaker 2: that would so that would be that ten percent would 1382 01:12:49,053 --> 01:12:52,653 Speaker 2: be paid by the contract that would be paid. 1383 01:12:52,412 --> 01:12:54,253 Speaker 12: To the council, or the council would have a contract. 1384 01:12:54,333 --> 01:12:57,213 Speaker 12: The business is affected, they know who's affected, and that 1385 01:12:57,372 --> 01:12:59,612 Speaker 12: money gets put into it basically a fund which then 1386 01:12:59,652 --> 01:13:00,333 Speaker 12: pays it back. 1387 01:13:02,173 --> 01:13:04,572 Speaker 2: Yeah. I like the idea right behind that. I suppose 1388 01:13:04,612 --> 01:13:06,492 Speaker 2: in this this is it. Yeah, so you go, mate, 1389 01:13:07,612 --> 01:13:08,293 Speaker 2: I'll get another thing. 1390 01:13:08,372 --> 01:13:11,652 Speaker 12: You know, your inflatable tint.

Now you're in Wellington, you're a rate payer. 1426 01:14:43,253 --> 01:14:46,812 Speaker 2: How do you feel about these businesses who are maybe 1427 01:14:46,933 --> 01:14:49,492 Speaker 2: losing their livelihood because the road's been dug back up. 1428 01:14:50,933 --> 01:14:51,093 Speaker 8: Right. 1429 01:14:51,253 --> 01:14:54,893 Speaker 14: So I travel on LinkedIn k Yeah, sorry, everybody in 1430 01:14:55,013 --> 01:14:57,892 Speaker 14: the city streets yep, on a very very regular basis, 1431 01:14:57,933 --> 01:15:00,013 Speaker 14: every single day, sometimes three or four times a day. 1432 01:15:00,093 --> 01:15:00,253 Speaker 2: YEP. 1433 01:15:00,333 --> 01:15:02,173 Speaker 14: I do not write a push bike on the road. 1434 01:15:02,293 --> 01:15:03,932 Speaker 14: I'd rather write a push bikes in the hills. 1435 01:15:04,173 --> 01:15:04,372 Speaker 2: Yep. 1436 01:15:04,812 --> 01:15:09,492 Speaker 14: And so every action has an equal off reaction. Every 1437 01:15:09,572 --> 01:15:11,572 Speaker 14: cost must have a return on investment or a cost 1438 01:15:11,612 --> 01:15:15,932 Speaker 14: benefit ratio. Those four businesses have suffered. The council asked 1439 01:15:16,293 --> 01:15:18,213 Speaker 14: whether it should happen, and there was a vote no, 1440 01:15:18,492 --> 01:15:20,692 Speaker 14: and they've gone ahead and done it anyway, just pushing 1441 01:15:20,772 --> 01:15:24,453 Speaker 14: their ideology. The ideology is to get people writing pushpikes. 1442 01:15:24,532 --> 01:15:28,572 Speaker 14: Got it, understand, great idea. But here's the thing. Let's 1443 01:15:28,572 --> 01:15:31,972 Speaker 14: talk about carbon footprint. How much cost and how long 1444 01:15:32,013 --> 01:15:36,013 Speaker 14: will the cost benefit ratio of the cyclists increasing as 1445 01:15:36,133 --> 01:15:40,012 Speaker 14: to opposed to the costs that we've increased and incurred 1446 01:15:40,612 --> 01:15:44,253 Speaker 14: in the cost of producing the cycle lanes, closing people's 1447 01:15:44,293 --> 01:15:47,652 Speaker 14: businesses and everything and all flow on effect of such. 1448 01:15:48,173 --> 01:15:50,812 Speaker 14: So do you understand my point? What's it costing us 1449 01:15:50,933 --> 01:15:53,852 Speaker 14: to save one hundred dollars a day when it's costing 1450 01:15:53,973 --> 01:15:55,892 Speaker 14: us one thousand dollars a day to save a thousand. 1451 01:15:56,213 --> 01:15:59,852 Speaker 14: It doesn't make any sense. Those businesses have been hammered. 1452 01:16:00,532 --> 01:16:03,333 Speaker 14: The great payers shouldn't pay. The council should have a 1453 01:16:03,853 --> 01:16:06,612 Speaker 14: default fund and the councilors should have to pay. The 1454 01:16:06,692 --> 01:16:09,732 Speaker 14: council should have to pay for it because everyone's kind 1455 01:16:09,772 --> 01:16:11,572 Speaker 14: hard to We want to see everyone do well. Then 1456 01:16:11,973 --> 01:16:15,253 Speaker 14: someone's got to pay, right Yeah, so poplication, Yes, but 1457 01:16:15,372 --> 01:16:19,013 Speaker 14: there's got to be retentions all you know, if you 1458 01:16:19,133 --> 01:16:21,572 Speaker 14: run over anyone runs over a contry they don't perform 1459 01:16:22,093 --> 01:16:25,013 Speaker 14: or things run over, there's a penalty in there, but 1460 01:16:25,093 --> 01:16:28,253 Speaker 14: it doesn't end to be anything. They just run a mass. 1461 01:16:28,372 --> 01:16:32,852 Speaker 14: So I've just driven down kent Terrace. There's one cyclist 1462 01:16:32,973 --> 01:16:35,652 Speaker 14: in the cycle lane and three riding up the road, 1463 01:16:35,692 --> 01:16:36,652 Speaker 14: not on the cycle lanes. 1464 01:16:36,812 --> 01:16:39,412 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, And I thought, yeah, I agree with you, Thomas, 1465 01:16:39,452 --> 01:16:41,932 Speaker 2: and I've actually got nothing against cycle lanes per se. 1466 01:16:42,093 --> 01:16:44,612 Speaker 2: But there are the right time to invest in those 1467 01:16:44,692 --> 01:16:47,732 Speaker 2: particular projects, and now it's not the right time. And 1468 01:16:47,973 --> 01:16:50,412 Speaker 2: on a cost benefit analysis situation, as you say, it 1469 01:16:50,492 --> 01:16:53,772 Speaker 2: appears a good chunk of Wellington and other places around 1470 01:16:53,812 --> 01:16:55,972 Speaker 2: New Zealand do not want these cycle ways. At this point. 1471 01:16:56,013 --> 01:16:57,932 Speaker 2: There are more things we need to spend our money 1472 01:16:58,013 --> 01:17:00,732 Speaker 2: on and at the cost of these particular businesses as well. 1473 01:17:01,053 --> 01:17:03,053 Speaker 2: You weigh those things up and then you look at 1474 01:17:03,093 --> 01:17:05,732 Speaker 2: what the council was doing and deciding and thinking you're 1475 01:17:05,772 --> 01:17:09,093 Speaker 2: on the wrong track.

Got the money from our friends 1525 01:19:14,093 --> 01:19:18,932 Speaker 2: and on Tuesday I hear her shout from upstairs, I've 1526 01:19:19,013 --> 01:19:24,133 Speaker 2: done something wrong, and she was in bits crying what 1527 01:19:24,253 --> 01:19:26,092 Speaker 2: have you done?

I've booked the wrong 1531 01:19:28,933 --> 01:19:31,333 Speaker 2: dates for the holiday home. So she had booked for 1532 01:19:31,412 --> 01:19:35,893 Speaker 2: the second to the sixth of December, and clearly we 1533 01:19:36,093 --> 01:19:39,452 Speaker 2: cannot make that date, and unfortunately it had gone past 1534 01:19:39,532 --> 01:19:41,372 Speaker 2: the point where we could get all of our money back. 1535 01:19:41,452 --> 01:19:43,852 Speaker 2: So lost a lot of money, lost the holiday home. 1536 01:19:44,173 --> 01:19:48,293 Speaker 2: But luckily we managed to find a campground for us 1537 01:19:48,372 --> 01:19:51,093 Speaker 2: and our friends, so that part's sorted. But now my 1538 01:19:51,253 --> 01:19:54,852 Speaker 2: problem is I've got to buy a tent. The tent 1539 01:19:54,933 --> 01:19:56,852 Speaker 2: we used to have, it was a nice tent, but 1540 01:19:56,973 --> 01:19:58,972 Speaker 2: I did that stupid thing that a lot of key 1541 01:19:59,013 --> 01:20:01,972 Speaker 2: we do. Let's be honest, that I left some moisture 1542 01:20:02,013 --> 01:20:04,452 Speaker 2: in the tent, didn't open it up for a year, 1543 01:20:04,893 --> 01:20:07,213 Speaker 2: and it's buggered. So I checked that one out. But 1544 01:20:07,372 --> 01:20:11,372 Speaker 2: as I started looking tents, what keep popping up again 1545 01:20:11,452 --> 01:20:16,333 Speaker 2: and again and again are inflatable tents massive trend At 1546 01:20:16,372 --> 01:20:19,812 Speaker 2: the moment, everybody was talking about inflatable tents. Whatever a 1547 01:20:19,933 --> 01:20:23,213 Speaker 2: Facebook page I went to about camping, or website I 1548 01:20:23,253 --> 01:20:26,772 Speaker 2: went to about the best tents. Everyone was recommending inflatable tents, 1549 01:20:27,532 --> 01:20:31,652 Speaker 2: and I just don't buy it. Oh eight hundred and 1550 01:20:31,732 --> 01:20:34,173 Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty. The problem I think I've got with 1551 01:20:34,293 --> 01:20:38,053 Speaker 2: inflatable tents is are they that sturdy? If you can 1552 01:20:38,173 --> 01:20:42,892 Speaker 2: pump up a tent in ten minutes, to me, it's 1553 01:20:42,973 --> 01:20:44,692 Speaker 2: a strong gust is just going to blow that bad 1554 01:20:44,732 --> 01:20:48,452 Speaker 2: boy over. And as we know worth Kiwi summers, some 1555 01:20:48,612 --> 01:20:51,412 Speaker 2: of them are good, but sometimes you get smashed with rain. 1556 01:20:52,893 --> 01:20:55,652 Speaker 2: I just worry that those inflatable tents. Yep, they look 1557 01:20:55,692 --> 01:20:58,973 Speaker 2: easy to set up, fantastic. You get to the campground, 1558 01:20:59,893 --> 01:21:03,253 Speaker 2: get them on the pump, have a beer, kick back, boom, 1559 01:21:03,532 --> 01:21:06,772 Speaker 2: You've got your house for a week. But I don't know. 1560 01:21:08,692 --> 01:21:11,372 Speaker 2: I just think the old canvas tent, even though they 1561 01:21:11,412 --> 01:21:16,173 Speaker 2: are a pain in the butt to set up, particularly 1562 01:21:16,333 --> 01:21:18,093 Speaker 2: if you only do it once a year like I do. 1563 01:21:18,612 --> 01:21:20,133 Speaker 2: Even with that tent that we have for a couple 1564 01:21:20,133 --> 01:21:23,293 Speaker 2: of years, every time I unwrapped the bloody thing, I 1565 01:21:23,372 --> 01:21:26,333 Speaker 2: kept forgetting how it was erected, and then there'd be 1566 01:21:26,452 --> 01:21:29,013 Speaker 2: the scraps about. You know, have we got the fly 1567 01:21:29,173 --> 01:21:31,572 Speaker 2: around the right way? Have we got all the tent 1568 01:21:31,652 --> 01:21:35,612 Speaker 2: pigs in there?

He has press a 1662 01:25:21,013 --> 01:25:24,812 Speaker 18: button and flates, and it also had like charging pugs 1663 01:25:24,853 --> 01:25:27,812 Speaker 18: inside of it from the solar panels, and so you 1664 01:25:27,893 --> 01:25:29,532 Speaker 18: could charge your fine and everything. You don't feel like 1665 01:25:29,532 --> 01:25:30,093 Speaker 18: you're in a tent. 1666 01:25:30,492 --> 01:25:33,852 Speaker 2: See see this is getting pretty full noise. I mean 1667 01:25:33,893 --> 01:25:35,772 Speaker 2: I kind of like it. You know, we want those 1668 01:25:35,893 --> 01:25:38,293 Speaker 2: nice things when we go camping. But so so this 1669 01:25:38,412 --> 01:25:41,412 Speaker 2: pump is built into the inflatable tent. How how do 1670 01:25:41,452 --> 01:25:42,133 Speaker 2: you charge it up? 1671 01:25:43,492 --> 01:25:46,173 Speaker 18: So you've got the solar panels all on it, so 1672 01:25:46,333 --> 01:25:48,572 Speaker 18: the solar panels can help charge a tent, but also 1673 01:25:48,692 --> 01:25:51,293 Speaker 18: just the button itself. You just hit the button on 1674 01:25:51,333 --> 01:25:53,053 Speaker 18: the side and leave. I think it took us like 1675 01:25:53,133 --> 01:25:55,652 Speaker 18: twenty five seconds and it fully pretty much inflates the 1676 01:25:55,692 --> 01:25:58,293 Speaker 18: whole tent. It's not very heavy, eiver. It's a couple 1677 01:25:58,293 --> 01:26:01,093 Speaker 18: of kg's and all fits like tight packs into one 1678 01:26:01,133 --> 01:26:03,372 Speaker 18: of those bags. I'm pretty sure the guy who called 1679 01:26:03,412 --> 01:26:05,572 Speaker 18: on before he got it from the same place that 1680 01:26:05,692 --> 01:26:06,572 Speaker 18: was from output Indy. 1681 01:26:07,013 --> 01:26:11,412 Speaker 2: Oh yes, yes, now, Andrew, our producer, found that looks 1682 01:26:12,412 --> 01:26:15,093 Speaker 2: somewhat legit.

But you pay a pretty penny for it. 1826 01:32:37,973 --> 01:32:42,532 Speaker 2: But I suppose that's quality, right, Yeah, I reckon if. 1827 01:32:42,452 --> 01:32:44,293 Speaker 8: You pay a bit more for it, I think it's 1828 01:32:44,333 --> 01:32:48,572 Speaker 8: going to last for us. Family tent comfortable. We can 1829 01:32:48,652 --> 01:32:50,093 Speaker 8: put trust in it, and we know it's going to 1830 01:32:50,133 --> 01:32:51,372 Speaker 8: go up, and we know it's going to last.

Rayleen and we have been talking 1928 01:37:41,732 --> 01:37:44,892 Speaker 2: about inflatable tents and I think I'm almost converted there. 1929 01:37:44,933 --> 01:37:46,812 Speaker 2: They are all the rage at the moment. It seems 1930 01:37:46,853 --> 01:37:50,333 Speaker 2: for good reason, because my concerns about inflatable tents were 1931 01:37:50,333 --> 01:37:53,333 Speaker 2: the same concerns I had about inflatable mattresses. That they're 1932 01:37:53,333 --> 01:37:55,492 Speaker 2: good for about eight months, then spring a leak, and 1933 01:37:55,692 --> 01:37:58,692 Speaker 2: then the bugget and terrible. But it turns out well, 1934 01:37:58,732 --> 01:38:02,492 Speaker 2: according to you good people, that inflatable tents are rock 1935 01:38:02,652 --> 01:38:05,452 Speaker 2: solid and you can set them up in a cyclone 1936 01:38:05,452 --> 01:38:07,732 Speaker 2: and you're probably going to be okay.

So you're still in a tent, but 1941 01:38:21,253 --> 01:38:23,572 Speaker 2: you're in an area where you might have your car 1942 01:38:23,893 --> 01:38:27,772 Speaker 2: close by, or it's a little bit more reasonable than 1943 01:38:27,812 --> 01:38:30,892 Speaker 2: the back country I can and tinting I've been talking about. 1944 01:38:31,173 --> 01:38:34,772 Speaker 2: So your game changes.

But the system itself is 2003 01:41:34,532 --> 01:41:38,732 Speaker 30: heavy and bulkier, so that's probably not for them. They'll 2004 01:41:38,732 --> 01:41:41,452 Speaker 30: still consider a lightweight, poled. 2005 01:41:41,333 --> 01:41:43,172 Speaker 16: Tent, but much important. 2006 01:41:43,452 --> 01:41:48,093 Speaker 30: Right, most people in New Zealanders today will be converted 2007 01:41:48,173 --> 01:41:51,213 Speaker 30: and could easily be talked into an air frame system. 2008 01:41:51,412 --> 01:41:55,572 Speaker 30: So what we're smartis are smart when it comes to camping? 2009 01:41:55,853 --> 01:41:57,772 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely they are. 2010 01:41:58,293 --> 01:41:59,812 Speaker 19: And when it comes to do it easier. 2011 01:41:59,973 --> 01:42:02,093 Speaker 2: Yeah, when it comes to the brands that come top 2012 01:42:02,173 --> 01:42:05,253 Speaker 2: of mind, what what are people?

If you know that some of the tents 2093 01:45:54,333 --> 01:45:56,372 Speaker 2: on there were looking pretty good for the price. But 2094 01:45:56,452 --> 01:45:58,492 Speaker 2: the ones I was eyeing up is about five hundred bucks, 2095 01:45:58,532 --> 01:46:00,652 Speaker 2: and that's still a lot of money. And if I 2096 01:46:00,853 --> 01:46:03,013 Speaker 2: get that tent from Timu and I set it up 2097 01:46:03,093 --> 01:46:05,732 Speaker 2: and it starts pouring down with rain and it leaks 2098 01:46:06,013 --> 01:46:09,173 Speaker 2: and it deflates, then that's fine. One hundred bucks gone. 2099 01:46:09,173 --> 01:46:09,932 Speaker 2: I'll never see again. 2100 01:46:11,013 --> 01:46:12,692 Speaker 7: Yeah, but you will be able to flick that on 2101 01:46:12,893 --> 01:46:16,093 Speaker 7: if that happens, because you know, I mean I the 2102 01:46:16,213 --> 01:46:17,732 Speaker 7: one that I got off a team who I think 2103 01:46:17,933 --> 01:46:21,173 Speaker 7: was a round about one hundred and twenty.

Someone ticks through Tyler just 2120 01:47:02,572 --> 01:47:05,933 Speaker 2: high retent. I never thought about that. I mean it 2121 01:47:06,133 --> 01:47:09,132 Speaker 2: kind of makes sense, but I have never seen anywhere 2122 01:47:09,173 --> 01:47:11,692 Speaker 2: that would rent out a tint. I imagine they do exist. 2123 01:47:11,812 --> 01:47:14,173 Speaker 2: But if you've rented a tent, if you can rent 2124 01:47:14,173 --> 01:47:17,532 Speaker 2: an inflatable tin, that probably solves my issue here that 2125 01:47:17,652 --> 01:47:19,692 Speaker 2: I can rent it. If it goes well, then I'll buy. 2126 01:47:20,452 --> 01:47:23,852 Speaker 2: But can you actually hire out tents? Oh, eight hundred 2127 01:47:23,893 --> 01:47:25,412 Speaker 2: and eighty ten eighty is the number to call, David. 2128 01:47:25,452 --> 01:47:27,293 Speaker 23: How are you hey, Hi? 2129 01:47:29,053 --> 01:47:30,932 Speaker 2: Inflatable teints?

And 2133 01:47:37,013 --> 01:47:41,173 Speaker 23: then we have one that actually made I think it's 2134 01:47:41,213 --> 01:47:42,732 Speaker 23: an English brand mm hmm. 2135 01:47:42,973 --> 01:47:45,093 Speaker 8: And the highlight for me is. 2136 01:47:46,812 --> 01:47:49,013 Speaker 23: Because it has a big onwning that connects to the 2137 01:47:49,093 --> 01:47:52,372 Speaker 23: car as I drive a van as well, so I 2138 01:47:52,492 --> 01:47:54,932 Speaker 23: have people sleeping slipping in the van and you can 2139 01:47:55,053 --> 01:47:57,852 Speaker 23: just walk through the awning and then get into the. 2140 01:47:57,933 --> 01:48:00,732 Speaker 2: Tent and all that You've got it sorted. So we're 2141 01:48:00,772 --> 01:48:03,173 Speaker 2: talking as it a four man tent and then you 2142 01:48:03,253 --> 01:48:04,612 Speaker 2: can connect the awning to the van. 2143 01:48:05,652 --> 01:48:08,012 Speaker 23: Yes, yes, it's all in one piece. All one tis 2144 01:48:08,053 --> 01:48:11,173 Speaker 23: the connection or whatever. It's just there is another lever 2145 01:48:11,532 --> 01:48:13,972 Speaker 23: to just connect to the fin either at the back 2146 01:48:14,853 --> 01:48:18,213 Speaker 23: or the sliding door. And uh yeah, the whole ten 2147 01:48:18,732 --> 01:48:22,412 Speaker 23: is it's good. Inflatable it's good because everything is one piece. Yeah, 2148 01:48:22,853 --> 01:48:25,532 Speaker 23: you know, your your pole and the whole wall and 2149 01:48:25,652 --> 01:48:28,372 Speaker 23: everything is all in one piece. So it's very organized. 2150 01:48:28,372 --> 01:48:30,852 Speaker 23: It's pretty cool and put up real quick, put down 2151 01:48:30,853 --> 01:48:33,532 Speaker 23: real quick if you're an organized person. It's really really cool. 2152 01:48:33,973 --> 01:48:35,732 Speaker 2: You know the other thing I've seen, David, that has 2153 01:48:35,772 --> 01:48:38,612 Speaker 2: been popping up, obviously the inflatable teams. Everyone's raving about 2154 01:48:38,652 --> 01:48:41,973 Speaker 2: them good times. But the rooftop teint did you ever 2155 01:48:42,053 --> 01:48:44,652 Speaker 2: consider that? I see, I see them everywhere now usually 2156 01:48:44,732 --> 01:48:47,572 Speaker 2: there are youth forward rangers, but maybe on the van. 2157 01:48:47,732 --> 01:48:47,932 Speaker 10: Yeah. 2158 01:48:49,053 --> 01:48:53,492 Speaker 23: So like see, because in New Zealand, if you if 2159 01:48:53,532 --> 01:48:56,333 Speaker 23: you're you want to be, we try everything. We try 2160 01:48:56,452 --> 01:48:58,893 Speaker 23: camper van for rented, and then I'll all intend and 2161 01:48:58,973 --> 01:49:01,533 Speaker 23: all that, and then we I came to the conclusion 2162 01:49:01,652 --> 01:49:05,652 Speaker 23: where you know, if you want rooftop ten, you want 2163 01:49:05,692 --> 01:49:07,933 Speaker 23: to do all year round and all that. It's just 2164 01:49:08,412 --> 01:49:11,412 Speaker 23: and not not ideal because it's going to be wet 2165 01:49:12,053 --> 01:49:14,732 Speaker 23: and then you know, you can there's no connection with 2166 01:49:14,933 --> 01:49:16,333 Speaker 23: your kitchen and all that stuff. 2167 01:49:16,532 --> 01:49:19,892 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know it's just a place to sleep. Yeah, yeah, 2168 01:49:20,293 --> 01:49:21,893 Speaker 2: but I have seen them pop up everywre and I 2169 01:49:22,013 --> 01:49:24,772 Speaker 2: get that if they're on the Ford Rangers or the Utes. 2170 01:49:25,333 --> 01:49:28,692 Speaker 2: I imagine most of the people using the old rooftop 2171 01:49:28,893 --> 01:49:31,412 Speaker 2: tent set up are hunters. So it's just a place 2172 01:49:31,452 --> 01:49:34,253 Speaker 2: to sleep. But David, thank you very much. Lucy, you've 2173 01:49:34,293 --> 01:49:35,772 Speaker 2: got a camping game changer. 2174 01:49:37,093 --> 01:49:39,013 Speaker 6: Well, actually. 2175 01:49:40,692 --> 01:49:41,612 Speaker 7: Yeah, not as well. 2176 01:49:41,732 --> 01:49:42,492 Speaker 14: I do have a test. 2177 01:49:42,612 --> 01:49:45,293 Speaker 6: But the thing that for me has changed the game 2178 01:49:45,372 --> 01:49:46,852 Speaker 6: as a sleeping bag liner. 2179 01:49:47,452 --> 01:49:50,893 Speaker 2: Sleeping bag line, a sleeping. 2180 01:49:50,612 --> 01:49:53,213 Speaker 6: Bag liner made out of a hundred percent silks.

We've got about sixty seconds. 2272 01:54:34,493 --> 01:54:37,733 Speaker 16: All right, I've just got two points of view. I 2273 01:54:38,013 --> 01:54:42,493 Speaker 16: live full time in the camping ground yep, a different 2274 01:54:42,533 --> 01:54:44,973 Speaker 16: setup in Minavi now. But I have gone through the 2275 01:54:45,573 --> 01:54:48,453 Speaker 16: research for at tents in the past. But I speak 2276 01:54:48,493 --> 01:54:52,613 Speaker 16: to a lot of inflavorable tent people in the camping 2277 01:54:52,733 --> 01:54:57,892 Speaker 16: area where I'm at, and they're generally haven't been happy 2278 01:54:57,973 --> 01:55:01,493 Speaker 16: with them, and the main reason is the tents collapsed 2279 01:55:01,573 --> 01:55:04,333 Speaker 16: in a wind or a decent wind right, but maybe 2280 01:55:04,493 --> 01:55:08,972 Speaker 16: there's maybe there's newer tents that are more sturdy these days. Yeah, 2281 01:55:09,173 --> 01:55:12,693 Speaker 16: and however, look at about a second or two for 2282 01:55:12,772 --> 01:55:14,973 Speaker 16: another point of view. When I did research on what 2283 01:55:15,093 --> 01:55:19,053 Speaker 16: I wanted for my own tent, I went eventually. 2284 01:55:18,693 --> 01:55:20,613 Speaker 10: Went with a steal. 2285 01:55:22,733 --> 01:55:26,812 Speaker 16: A steel type hoot type tent that had it was 2286 01:55:26,893 --> 01:55:28,533 Speaker 16: a polyester type of thing. 2287 01:55:28,812 --> 01:55:31,373 Speaker 2: Yep, well that sounds good, Bruce. Good place to finish. 2288 01:55:31,453 --> 01:55:33,653 Speaker 2: I think I am converted on the inflatable tendon to 2289 01:55:33,693 --> 01:55:36,932 Speaker 2: everybody tixing through Saint Tyler, borrow our tint and then 2290 01:55:36,973 --> 01:55:38,973 Speaker 2: if you like it, you can buy another one.
