It's eight after four right yesterday around 21 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 3: this time, Darcy walder Grave and I were talking about 22 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 3: how the English and New Zealand cricket teams have been 23 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 3: deducted three points each towards the World Test Championship, and 24 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 3: they got that for slow over rates. Apparently the third 25 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 3: day was six overs shy and more than that, all 26 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 3: the players lost fifteen percent of their match fees. That's 27 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 3: quite a lot of money, and Darcie and I were 28 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 3: talking about it, were saying, gost this salt seems a 29 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 3: bit harsh, doesn't it, especially as you consider that the 30 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 3: game actually lost a day and a half because we 31 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 3: lost too easily. Anyway, So I was driving home last 32 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 3: night and I heard Darcy talking to the former ICC 33 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 3: umpire boss about it, saying, well, what's happening here? You've 34 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 3: come down pretty tough, and that fella explained that it 35 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 3: was for the fans because who wants to watch less 36 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 3: cricket because the team is dawdling, happens too much. It's 37 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 3: all gainsmanship to take away momentum or to give bowld 38 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 3: As a bit of a rest. So the argument there 39 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 3: is that also you can go back at them and say, 40 00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 3: well yeah, you say that for the fans. But hey, 41 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 3: think about the fans, because you've taken away the points, 42 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 3: which now denies the fans a chance to see their 43 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 3: team in the championship final. And I thought that was 44 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 3: a very fair point. But then the fellow came back 45 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 3: at Darcy and said, well, there's also a commercial factor. 46 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 3: The broadcasters who pay for the rights which pay the players, 47 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 3: make the money by putting on ads between the overs. 48 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 3: So if you bowl six overs less than you should do, 49 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 3: that's six less ad breaks. So fair play to take 50 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 3: away the players' money, because if you rip off the paymaster, 51 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 3: don't expect the paymaster to pay. And then suddenly I 52 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 3: just had this flash and I went right the way 53 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 3: back to first principles, where rules are rules, and break 54 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 3: the rules. The only way you learn is with consequences. 55 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 3: So Damien McKenzie this season learnt that when he took 56 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 3: too long to kick a conversion and the rest said, well, 57 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 3: you can't do it now, and he took away three points. 58 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 3: Have you noticed that, all of a sudden, every conversion 59 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 3: happens in a timely fashion, and every stadium has a 60 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 3: shot clock on the big screen, and the game is faster, 61 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 3: and the fans are happier, and all it took was 62 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 3: one pretty heavy action against Damien. Rules are rules, and 63 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 3: consequences are consequences. And that brings me all the way 64 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 3: back to sevu Reese, who broke the rules not once 65 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 3: but twice has not felt the full force of the consequences. 66 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 3: And frankly, that's not good. It's not good for anyone. 67 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 3: It's not good for him, and it's certainly not good 68 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 3: for his victims. 69 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 2: Andrew dickens, So. 70 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 3: We've got new research from Kiwibank which shows that the 71 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 3: third of us have used the bank of mom and 72 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 3: dad to get into our first home. And as you'd expect, 73 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 3: the numbers even higher for younger people. Sixty five percent 74 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 3: of gens Z homeowners had some sort of financial help 75 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 3: from their parents when they bought their first property. So 76 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 3: Leslie Harris as a director of the First home Buyers 77 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 3: Club and she joins me, now, Hella, Leslie, good afternoon, Andrew. 78 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 3: This doesn't shock me. But what does shock me is 79 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 3: just how many kids are dependent on the parents. 80 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 4: Well, it doesn't shock us at all. 81 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 5: It's kind of what we know. 82 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 4: I mean, we saw some research that came out all 83 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 4: a couple of years ago that talked about bank of 84 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 4: Mum and Dad is actually our biggest bank here in 85 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 4: New Zealand. So we know that a lot of people, 86 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 4: you know, especially the young ones, are relying on that contribution. 87 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 2: But you know, we've. 88 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 4: Also got to go, well, aren't you lucky if you've 89 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 4: got a mum and bank of Mum and Dad. I mean, 90 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 4: not everybody has that exactly. 91 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 3: Yes, well, there's that old thing that rich get richer 92 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 3: and the poor get poorer and for the. 93 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 4: Real it's generational generation. 94 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, Okay, is it happening more now than in 95 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 3: the past? 96 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 6: Has it? 97 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 3: Has it been exponentially rising over the last while, or 98 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 3: has this been happening for twenty thirty years. 99 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 4: I don't believe it's been happening as as not nearly 100 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,679 Speaker 4: as much as what we're seeing now. But we're seeing 101 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 4: such a massive disparity now between people's incomes and ability 102 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 4: to purchase a home, which is completely different to what 103 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 4: it was twenty or thirty years ago. It's really only 104 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 4: those very top income earners that we're seeing actually able 105 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 4: to actually get those mortgages and get into those homes. 106 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 3: So is this a warning for anyone who's planning to 107 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 3: have kids or has just had kids, that really you're 108 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 3: going to have to start thinking about making sure that 109 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 3: you're tithing off a certain part of your income to 110 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 3: help your kids, because it's going to be necessary. 111 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 4: I think one of the things that I've talked about 112 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 4: a little bit before is that you know, as a country, 113 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 4: really thinking about the impacts on people's retirements. I mean, 114 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 4: if I look at myself, you know, three children, if 115 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 4: I've got to help all of those into their first homes, 116 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 4: then really my retirement's going to look actually quite different. 117 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 4: So this is a real New Zealand problem. It's not 118 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 4: just for the young ones getting into their homes. It 119 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 4: actually is going to impact our generation going into retirement 120 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 4: with what they've actually got to retire on. 121 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 3: Do you have any facts and figures about how these 122 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 3: loans or gifts are structure? In fact, I'm going to 123 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 3: ask a different question, are these loans or are these gifts? 124 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 4: Typically what we're actually seeing is gifts, because really if 125 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 4: they're loans, then it's not going to make that much 126 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 4: difference to the bank because it's still going to have 127 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 4: to be something that needs to be paid back. I mean, 128 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 4: one thing that the key wei Bank report did touch 129 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 4: on is the importance of really having clarity amongst all 130 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 4: parties about is it a gift or is it a loan, 131 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 4: because if it's a loan, it's got to be factored 132 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 4: into the repayments and their affordability. 133 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 3: Yes, but some people just don't believe in disclosure. 134 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean that's but then you know, potential 135 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 4: impacts on families falling out if all of a sudden 136 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,559 Speaker 4: they've got to start repaying something and they weren't clear 137 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 4: on that's that's going to cause some issue. 138 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 3: So do you have any sort of anecdotal stuff or 139 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 3: any empirical evidence about the contracts that might exist between 140 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 3: parents and children to ensure that the parents' money, that 141 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 3: their assets are not wasted. 142 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 4: So one of the things that you know, I've spoken 143 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 4: about a little bit is anything like this. You know, 144 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 4: it's full disclosure, and you need to get the right 145 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 4: legal advice because there's a lot of implications. For example, 146 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 4: if I was to gift to my son and then 147 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 4: he was married and then divorced, I wouldn't really want 148 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 4: that gift being split two ways. So things need to 149 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 4: be structured in a way so that the intention of 150 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 4: that gift is actually preserved for the purposes that it 151 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 4: was initially intended for. 152 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 3: Our lawyers up to speed with this, and therefore they 153 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 3: have the forms, they have, you know, the templates, so 154 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 3: that they can put in an agreement that will protect 155 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 3: the parents' money, because you quite right that whole you know, 156 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 3: after the de facto, after the two years, you know, 157 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 3: a bit of a split halfy money goes you know, well, 158 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 3: you know, preventing. 159 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 4: That has some very clear, strong advice that we've seen 160 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 4: being given that some sort of prenup or something, you know, 161 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 4: before entering into that de facto relationship if there was 162 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 4: going to be a significant gift for the house, so 163 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 4: that it just all needs to be thought about. It 164 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 4: all needs to be discussed, and we recommend getting proper 165 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 4: legal advice from the experts that know the stuff. 166 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 3: Good stuff. And I thank you so much. Lesie Harris 167 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 3: is from the First Home Buyers Club who knew that 168 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 3: there was a thing like that, and she is a director, 169 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 3: And be very very careful. It's a minefield out there. 170 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 3: Take through ninety two, ninety two, Andrew, I'm worried about Heather. 171 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 3: Is he okay?

I was also 218 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,319 Speaker 3: a Kings fan. I've got all those shits. I've got 219 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 3: all those shits. We've been waiting for. We've been waiting 220 00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 3: for a decent football team for a long time. There's 221 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 3: a decent football team here. But I know that the 222 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 3: Phoenix is a decent football team as well. And I 223 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 3: watched their game the other day, which they want. This 224 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 3: is the Phoenix and Chief he was talking afterwards, and 225 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 3: he was talking about how basically he used five different 226 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 3: formations in one game. And he sat there and said, okay, 227 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 3: go to two four four. It's changing it up. He's 228 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 3: changing around all over the place. They were going a 229 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 3: week off right by last week, the Corica is talking 230 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 3: this week. He says, I understand that the Phoenix just 231 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,559 Speaker 3: changed all over the place, and we're going to have 232 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 3: to be aware of it. And that's when I started thinking, 233 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 3: this is going to be a mighty, mighty match full 234 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 3: of great tactics, you know, and the best tactics will win, 235 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 3: and it could be the Phoenix. 236 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 9: And it could be a draw. A through sixty. 237 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 3: Well that's a very good that's a very good payout 238 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 3: ur a team. Bit responsibly, why are they all backs 239 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 3: in France not playing and why did they give the 240 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 3: exclusive health they might. 241 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 7: Want to fly their F team halfway around the world 242 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 7: for what essentially is a meaningless game of football. 243 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 9: It is meaning. 244 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 7: That's because they're not going to seend their their A 245 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 7: team because they can't. 246 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,319 Speaker 9: Because they're all tied up with clubs. Clubs won't release. 247 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 3: Them, so they haven't got their best splits. Why don't 248 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 3: they have an international window like they have in football, 249 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 3: Because football is old, it's. 250 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 7: Been going for a long time, and I hate to 251 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 7: say it, it's probably a lot more sensible than rugby. 252 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,319 Speaker 9: Rugby is odd because it's got split. 253 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 7: Seasons, it's got a northern hemisphere southern hemisphere, there's no 254 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 7: international season. It's quite complex, whereas football have got an 255 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 7: ironed out which makes sense. But they're like, we're not 256 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 7: going to send our F team over to basically a game. 257 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 7: We're going to get thrashed and it's not good for 258 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 7: them to be flying all over the woods, so we 259 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 7: know we're. 260 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 9: Not going to do it. They were asked. 261 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 7: It was never confirmed and I plead in z are 262 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 7: You've got this extra match, which is great one you 263 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 7: thought you were going to give away when you're going 264 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 7: to sell and you didn't. 265 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 9: Can you please take it to the Provinces? 266 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,719 Speaker 7: Can they take it to Yarrow Stadium? Can you when 267 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,719 Speaker 7: it's trying to Valga Park in the claim part? 268 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 3: You know Trafalgar would have to rebuild. I get that, 269 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,719 Speaker 3: but Yarrow had a great test once upon a time 270 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 3: and they've been rebuilding. Is that ready to go? They 271 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 3: had England play down there thirty thousand people. 272 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 7: And I'd say that also, sunstrike is not an issue 273 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 7: at McLean Park for rugby, sob over there. 274 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 9: I don't know, maybe even I know. 275 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 7: I don't want to call Hamilton the Provinces because it's 276 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 7: not but a smaller ground. 277 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 3: I'm saying go wide, go wide and far and because 278 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 3: they're our team, right the All Blacks attitude? 279 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 7: Can you actually can they actually play in front of us? 280 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 3: Good stuff? 281 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 7: That just saying yeah, yeah, thank you very much. 282 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 3: I'm saying it.

They both want to take positions and belt 435 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 6: each other over the head.

She was the key witness in a jury 442 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 6: trial in New South Wales up in Newcastle. Actually she's 443 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 6: got a condition called disassociative identity disorder in the old 444 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 6: language that you and I would understand former it was 445 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 6: formerly known as multiple personality disorder. The father has been 446 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 6: on trial since October and Newcastle twenty six charges of 447 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 6: sexual assault against his daughter and another sibling. The daughter 448 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 6: spent ten days in the witness box. This has never 449 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,679 Speaker 6: happened in Australia before. And she was sworn in Andrew 450 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 6: as herself, as a five year old girl and as 451 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:37,959 Speaker 6: an older woman, and each personality gave evidence so you know, 452 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 6: the juris come down and found and found the father 453 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 6: guilty of twenty three of twenty six charges. He's going 454 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 6: to be sentenced next year. Basically, the prosecution said, listen, 455 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 6: the daughter's evidence was reliable. As far as the defense claims, 456 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 6: it was completely unacceptable. But the found in favor of 457 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 6: the prosecution. 458 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 3: She could actually turn the personalities on and off at 459 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 3: will and therefore answer the questions depending on which personality 460 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 3: was being asked the question. 461 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 6: I think she was sworn in as each personality separately 462 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 6: and then was asked questions relating to that personality and 463 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 6: the allegations that personality had made. That's my understanding. 464 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 11: I was not in court. 465 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 3: No, that's incredible, all right. But by the way, that man, 466 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 3: you know, it's bad enough to abuse her daughter, to 467 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 3: abuse a daughter with mental difficulties. Is he wants to 468 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 3: come back? 469 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 8: Yeah? 470 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 5: No kidding. 471 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 3: So let's get into this Anthony Albanesi, Yeah, Albo and 472 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 3: what his music tastes.

It's the old story 527 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,360 Speaker 10: isn't it. I think you tend to like music that 528 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 10: you grew up with. And I grew up with Kenny Rodgers. 529 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 10: I grew up with Dean Martin. My parents used to 530 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 10: like Dean Martin. So when I'm on my own on 531 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 10: that say, and because I'm not allowed to plan any 532 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 10: any time out bet, but when I'm on my own, 533 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 10: I listened to Dean Martin. 534 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 9: It reminds me of my mother. 535 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 10: And you know, and the Gambler, it's reminiscent of your youth. 536 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 3: Do you realize the old bottle of his talks? B Dallas? 537 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,439 Speaker 3: His favorite song was the Gambler. The Gambler is a 538 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 3: good song. It's a great song. And we've just heard 539 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 3: that and that's a lovely thing. Yeah, I know that 540 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 3: I'm the same. I'm the same because on my list 541 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 3: was Eva Cassidy and Autumn Leaves very good. It's a 542 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 3: beautiful song. But there we go. 543 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 11: Aunt. 544 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 3: You loved the scrutiny week. You know, we had cooked 545 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 3: the books the other day. We had the acc getting 546 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 3: into trouble about privacy breaches. Everyone's revealing everything. We've got 547 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 3: Mark Mitchell today going, oh, we might not make the 548 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 3: five hundred. 549 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 9: They never were going to make the part. 550 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 10: And I'm sure Ginny Anderson will love it because I 551 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 10: know you've got a roll after five o'clock. 552 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 3: It'll be music to her ears. And now we've got 553 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 3: stuff about an FDA with India. 554 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 10: Well you know again that was a promise that Chris 555 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 10: Luxen made when he's out on the election campaign saying 556 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 10: that we would get a free trade agreement with India 557 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 10: in the first term of government. Well, you know that 558 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 10: is really a big ask because the Indians are protectionist 559 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 10: when it comes to obviously meat and beef. Yes, they 560 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 10: respect their count rules, I know, so that's. 561 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 9: Going to be difficult. 562 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 10: And you had Tod maclay, the Overseas Trade Minister, before 563 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 10: the Select Committee today and he was saying, look, if 564 00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 10: we don't make. 565 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 9: It in the first three years is then don't. 566 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 10: Blame Chris Luson, blame me, so that he's taking the 567 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 10: fall for his boss. But you know any imagination that 568 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,880 Speaker 10: you know, if you know about trade, you would never 569 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 10: say that in three years a country, now the most 570 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 10: populous country in the world, India, would give a free 571 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 10: trade agreement away that easily. I was there with John Keene. 572 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 10: Now that was a number of years ago. We were 573 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 10: talking about a free trade agreement then, but of course 574 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 10: I think it weltered a lot during the Labor years 575 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 10: because they never really paid much attention to India. And 576 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 10: to get a free trade agreement, you've got to have 577 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 10: a lot of contact with the country, and I must 578 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 10: say that this government has had a lot of contact 579 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 10: with India. 580 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 3: I mean, just be fair. Though, Labor put all the 581 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:55,239 Speaker 3: effort into the cppp ttpp pptt, you know, and they 582 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 3: put all their effort in there, and then it got 583 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 3: all but it messed up because because of Canada and 584 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 3: all sorts of stuff. So that was Trump and Trump. Yeah, 585 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 3: I know, I know, and I get all that. So 586 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 3: they were concentrated there at of course Lux's coming. He 587 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 3: wants wins on the board and he's thought, there's in Dea, 588 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 3: you know. 589 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 10: Well yeah, so look he's met with the Indian Prime 590 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 10: Minister Modi, the Indian president was here. Luxon's been invited 591 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 10: to go there, so you know, the dialogue, there will 592 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 10: be a lot of dialogue. And the more a country 593 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 10: gets to know you, the better chances are that you'll 594 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 10: get a free trade agreement. 595 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 9: Think of the China Free truck course. 596 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 3: Now, you mentioned Trump, and of course we're all worried 597 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 3: about tariffs and trade wars and what's going to happen 598 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 3: to our meat and stuff. 599 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 10: Yeah, well, you know Trump, he is talking about ten 600 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 10: percent tariffs on countries like New Zealand. Todd McClay said that, look, 601 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 10: he was trade minister the last time Trump was in power. 602 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 10: Certainly tariffs did go up, but so did trade with 603 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 10: the US. So you know it was given with the 604 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 10: one hand and take with the others. So so the 605 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 10: biggest worry I think for countries that belong to this 606 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 10: trading group called BRICK, they would be worried because Trump 607 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 10: is now talking about one hundred percent tariffs on them. 608 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 10: But this is if they come up with an alternative currency. 609 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 10: And when you've got countries that belong to BRICK, like Brazil, Russia, India, China, 610 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 10: South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia and the United A inwards, 611 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 10: you've got a lot of money there, and you know 612 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 10: who's to know that they may come up with an 613 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 10: alternative currency. 614 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 3: And they're having just to reiterate, they've been using the 615 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 3: US dollar. The US dollar became the world's currency de fecto. 616 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 3: But now they're actually saying, well, we actually don't like America. 617 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 3: We don't want to use your money. And it's like the. 618 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 10: Euro and the green back. You know, they have been 619 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 10: the dominant currency as well. You know, if you do 620 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 10: live in these countries, you are big economies. Now you go, well, 621 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 10: maybe we should look at our own form of currency 622 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 10: and use that in some way. 623 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 3: Good stuff. Well, let you get home and music and 624 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 3: listen to your music.

So we've 668 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 3: just found out that Casey Cassello from New Zealand First, 669 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 3: who is the Associate Police Minister, will talk to the 670 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 3: issue and we'll see what's gone wrong with the training, 671 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 3: what's gone wrong with finding these people, whether they can 672 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 3: actually ramp it all up, and whether they will meet 673 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 3: the colorless and promise that was made. So that's a 674 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 3: big story. In five point thirty Australia's Deputy Prime Minister 675 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 3: and Defense Minister will talk about defense in our regent, China, 676 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 3: icbm's North Korea Orcus and all five thirty today be here. 677 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: The only drive show you can trust to ask the questions, 678 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: get the answers by the facts and. 679 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 2: Give the analysis. 680 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens on Hither Duple c Allen Drive with One 681 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: New Zealand. 682 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 2: Let's get connected news talk as they'd be. 683 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 3: As good afternoon. The time is now seven minutes after 684 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 3: five on the fifth of December, and I love Scrutiny 685 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 3: Week today the police and the firing line Police bosses 686 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 3: warned today that the government's election promise to train five 687 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 3: hundred new officers could take longer than their self imposed 688 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 3: two year deadline. Police Commissioner Richard Chambers told Parliament's Justice 689 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 3: Select Committee today that he is refusing to lower the 690 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 3: quality of the training to meet the target, so it's 691 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 3: not going to happen. Labour jumped on this immediately, claiming 692 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 3: it's a broken election promise. So Casey Costello from New 693 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:15,359 Speaker 3: Zealand first is the Associate Police Minister and joins me. Now, Hella, Casey, Hi, 694 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 3: how are you very good? So in your statement that 695 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 3: you're released today, you said that in all your consultations 696 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 3: with the police you have not been told to this 697 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 3: point that the target would not be met and the 698 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,879 Speaker 3: deadline will be missed. So how does today's news make 699 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,760 Speaker 3: you feel about your coalition promise. 700 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 17: Well, I think it's really important to get a context 701 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 17: of what the Commissioner was saying, and it was he 702 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 17: had said there was no deviation from the commitment to 703 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,800 Speaker 17: achieve no end between twenty five and there was an 704 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 17: extrapolation around modeling around when it would have been achieved 705 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 17: and based upon my budget was said. But I've been 706 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 17: reassured that we are on track, that we're working hard. 707 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 17: We have a massive recruitment pipeline, the biggest that they've 708 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 17: ever seen, and so we're driving forward on that between 709 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:01,240 Speaker 17: twenty five targets. 710 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:02,840 Speaker 3: But doesn't this go right to the heart of the 711 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 3: coalition agreement because right from the get go Mark Mitchell 712 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 3: said that two years would be tough, but New Zealand 713 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 3: first reminded him of the Coalition agreement and two years 714 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 3: was actually a hell of a deadline. So isn't this 715 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,359 Speaker 3: right the right to the number of your relationship with 716 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 3: the coalition. 717 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,320 Speaker 17: Oh, it's like we have total commitment and Monster Mitchell 718 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 17: and I know we meet every week with police and 719 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 17: we talk about those targets and reaching those targets. We 720 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 17: have done a huge investment in terms of recruitment and 721 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 17: pipeline and engaging and that's why we have the mess 722 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 17: of pipeline. Unfortunately, we were behind the eight ball because 723 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 17: there was no wings that went through in December and January, 724 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,839 Speaker 17: so there was no pipelines. We're in recovery and we've 725 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 17: done modeling and extrapolations. 726 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 3: Okay, so it's obviously a change that will be a 727 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,759 Speaker 3: loocause obviously not going to happen in the time that 728 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 3: you would have liked and you wanted and you promised. 729 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,840 Speaker 3: But are you okay with it now taking longer? 730 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 17: There's no And as I've said that, I have not 731 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 17: been advised in any way, shape or form, we're not 732 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 17: going to make the November twenty five targets. 733 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 3: So you have hoped that they're going to make it. 734 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 3: You actually still have some hope that they're going to 735 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 3: make it. 736 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 17: I still have hope that we make it. We have 737 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 17: increased the wing capacities, we have increased the number of 738 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 17: wings going through college. As long as our attrition rate 739 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,879 Speaker 17: stays below the five percent, which it has done, then 740 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 17: I am confident that we can still achieve it. 741 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 3: Good Well, that's good news. But do you really think, 742 00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 3: as Associate Police Minister you should have been kept in 743 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 3: the loop about this conversation more. 744 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 17: I think I've gone through and listened to what was 745 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,839 Speaker 17: said in the Select Committee, and I think there has 746 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 17: been a little bit of distortion around how the conversation 747 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 17: went in the questions and how they were responded to. 748 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,799 Speaker 17: I've spoken to the Commissioner today I'm satisfied they were 749 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:46,239 Speaker 17: on track. 750 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 3: Have you been selected to actually talk about this issue? 751 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 3: Because New Zealand first was so adamant about it, and 752 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 3: so Mark Mitchell said, oh, well this is your problem. 753 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 17: No, I have the delegated under my Associate Police Minister, 754 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,280 Speaker 17: I have the organized crime and I have the recruitment 755 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,879 Speaker 17: of five hundred under my delegation. So I am the 756 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 17: right person to be speaking to. 757 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 3: And should the government really just let go of the 758 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 3: number and as as of course, Richard Chambers, the Police Commissioner, 759 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 3: said he wants the quality and really go for the quality. 760 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 17: Well, we are absolutely that's what We're not compromising quality 761 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 17: and that was why the pipeline has been so encouraging, 762 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 17: because we are getting some outstanding applicants through. I've been 763 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,799 Speaker 17: to at least two of the recruitment weening so far, 764 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 17: fantastic people coming through. We haven't lowered the quality, and 765 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,839 Speaker 17: I've been saying that right from the start we will 766 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,560 Speaker 17: not lower the quality. But we haven't needed to because 767 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 17: we are getting fantastic applicants. 768 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 3: All right, thank you. We all wanting more cops. It 769 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 3: is now eleven minutes after five, so the government is 770 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 3: looking to crack down on business mergers. Commerce and Consumer 771 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 3: Affairs Minister Andrew Bailey has announced a review of New 772 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 3: Zealand's laws on competition. He wants to try and prevent 773 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 3: monopolies forming you know is losers and the winners eat 774 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,319 Speaker 3: the losers and then before you know it, they become 775 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 3: a monopoly. Here reckons doing that will improve productivity. So 776 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 3: Andrew Bailey joins you right now, good evening to your minister. 777 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 18: Good evening, Andrew. 778 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 3: So why are you doing this. 779 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,960 Speaker 18: Well, we haven't done it for twenty years. There hasn't 780 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 18: not been a formal review for twenty years, and we 781 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,400 Speaker 18: need to make sure that we keep pace for our 782 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:25,840 Speaker 18: international partners. Australias and the process of updating their competition 783 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 18: laws and many other jurisdictions around the world have done 784 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,799 Speaker 18: the similar thing. But ultimately what we're looking at New 785 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 18: Zealanders we want to make sure that our laws fit 786 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,359 Speaker 18: for purpose when it comes to assessing mergers and acquisitions. 787 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 18: And I think it's fair to say that we've got 788 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,840 Speaker 18: a number of industries where we've got a small number 789 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 18: of players who've got very significant market shairs, and it 790 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,720 Speaker 18: means less innovation happening and ultimately New Zealander is paying 791 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:52,640 Speaker 18: more than they ought to. 792 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,320 Speaker 3: So you don't mind small companies merging, is when bigger 793 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 3: companies merging, you get closer and closer to a monopoly. 794 00:38:58,800 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 6: Yeah. 795 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,920 Speaker 18: No, this is the tension point. We'd want to encourage 796 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 18: competition and obviously economies of scale. When companies buy the 797 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 18: companies and grow, that's fine, but there comes a point 798 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 18: when those entities become very substantial. And we have had 799 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 18: instances in the past where we've allowed mergers to occur 800 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 18: that have result in poor outcomes. And I've given a 801 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 18: specific example. I think historically people would look back on 802 00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,319 Speaker 18: the merger of Progressive when they brought food Stuff, which 803 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,239 Speaker 18: ended up with only two supermarket operators a New zenter 804 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:36,719 Speaker 18: of large scales, that that was probably a poor decision 805 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:40,279 Speaker 18: in hindsight, but Communist commissioners working under the rules that 806 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:41,719 Speaker 18: they had in place at that time. 807 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:42,759 Speaker 2: And what we. 808 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 18: Are suggesting now is we need to review that and 809 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 18: make sure that we don't allow mergers that in hindsight 810 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 18: we're going to look back and say, God, we should 811 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 18: stop that. 812 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 3: Yes, no, but you know, we're supposed to let the 813 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,799 Speaker 3: free market do that, do its thing. That's what we did. 814 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,399 Speaker 3: That's what Roger Douglas sports isn't. I can't imagine, in fact, 815 00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:58,719 Speaker 3: act being very happy about this. 816 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 18: So it's fine, it's not precluding mergers, but there comes 817 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:09,719 Speaker 18: a point when if certain industries where they're dominated by 818 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 18: a few smaller players ultimately lead to outcomes where you 819 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:19,080 Speaker 18: can't get access to innovative services or let's say even banking. Right, 820 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:23,839 Speaker 18: I'm pursuing it and trying to encourage open banking, which 821 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 18: means FinTechs come and operate and offer alternative banking products. 822 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,439 Speaker 18: That's the type of outcome we want to make sure 823 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,319 Speaker 18: that occurs. But we're doing that because we're in a 824 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,840 Speaker 18: situation where we've got not enough competition in the banking sector. 825 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:39,920 Speaker 18: What we're trying to do is head that off for 826 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 18: the past by these changes, by looking at introducing and 827 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:47,480 Speaker 18: giving the Commerce Commission greater flexibility to assess mergers when 828 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 18: they get to a point where potentially they could exert 829 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:58,240 Speaker 18: overt and over bearing market power on how that operates. 830 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 3: And we've got to hear there's some new research out 831 00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,800 Speaker 3: from RFI Global that says that some retailers are charging 832 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 3: customers to use their credit card and the retailers are 833 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,480 Speaker 3: pocketing it. How's your fee cap idea coming along? 834 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,000 Speaker 18: We're the Commerce Commissioner is doing a lot of work 835 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 18: on a moment and I'm keen to make an announcement, 836 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 18: but yes, we want to make sure that New Zealanders 837 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,440 Speaker 18: are not paying more than they ought to when they 838 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 18: go to buy their coffee and getting charged to church. 839 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 3: Yes, thank you very much, Andrew Bailey, all the best, 840 00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:32,400 Speaker 3: Thank you Commerce and Consumer Affairs Minister. Years ago, I 841 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,720 Speaker 3: used to work for Alan Gibb. Remember Allen and Alan 842 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,879 Speaker 3: and I would talk about economics and he would say 843 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:43,000 Speaker 3: to me, monopolies are the preferred the preferred business unit 844 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,280 Speaker 3: of a command state economy. I mean, ooh, you are disgusting. 845 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 3: How very communists have very socialist. He said yes, but 846 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 3: monopolies also happened from the free market because the winners 847 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 3: eat the losers and then they become the monopolies. And 848 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 3: I said, well that's a problem. What do we do then? 849 00:41:55,760 --> 00:42:00,359 Speaker 3: And he said to me, we smash him. The money 850 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,920 Speaker 3: falls out and he reckoned. There was a twenty five 851 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,480 Speaker 3: year cycle. And I think that's what mister Bailey is 852 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,200 Speaker 3: trying to talk about. New stories will be can't just 853 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:11,360 Speaker 3: do one last thing. Bitcoin hit a new record prices afternoon, 854 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 3: and now one bitcoin is worth one hundred thousand US dollars. 855 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,840 Speaker 3: This is the first time it's hit the one hundred k. 856 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 3: The price of one bitcoin was sitting at one hundred 857 00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 3: and two eight hundred and thirty six US dollars just 858 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,400 Speaker 3: a few moments ago. Bitcoin has been going through the 859 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 3: roof since the US election. The price is up forty 860 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:33,360 Speaker 3: five percent since then.

France has reportedly declined New Zealand Rugby's 882 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,320 Speaker 3: request to play excuse me to play the third of 883 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 3: three tests against France in the United States rather than 884 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,600 Speaker 3: in New Zealand. So we're talking two tests in New 885 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,520 Speaker 3: Zealand and then the India. Ar if you said right, well, 886 00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:49,440 Speaker 3: then we'll do one in America. France said no. A 887 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,319 Speaker 3: French newspaper says the French rugby union don't want to 888 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 3: have the July Test in the US because they're concerned 889 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,919 Speaker 3: about the impact that we'll have on their players' health, 890 00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,920 Speaker 3: which sounds like a very French and bizarre. This is 891 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 3: a blow for Insidar who we're hoping to make more 892 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,839 Speaker 3: money having the test off shore. So I've got former 893 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:09,080 Speaker 3: INDIDAAR chief executive David Moffatt with me right now. 894 00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,000 Speaker 16: How the David good Andrew? 895 00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,279 Speaker 3: So why would why why were we having the game 896 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,200 Speaker 3: in America anyway against France. 897 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,400 Speaker 16: Oh, it'll just be for money, nothing else. It's certainly 898 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,880 Speaker 16: not going to be for the fans. Well, it's just 899 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,239 Speaker 16: the money grab the fan. 900 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,239 Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, So the fans are in New Zealand and 901 00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,480 Speaker 3: they're in France. Are they fans who are wanting New 902 00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,040 Speaker 3: Zealand France in America? Anyway? Does that market exist? 903 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:33,799 Speaker 14: Well? 904 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,360 Speaker 16: Well, the last time I looked at the All Blacks 905 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 16: were our national team and they don't play many games 906 00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:42,640 Speaker 16: here and they should be playing all the games that 907 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,239 Speaker 16: they can play here, and that includes a three test 908 00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,080 Speaker 16: series against France. The fact that France don't want to 909 00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,960 Speaker 16: go to America has obviously killed that and I'm not 910 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,200 Speaker 16: at all concerned that they have to be perfectly honest 911 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,560 Speaker 16: with you. I think the last people, the enders that 912 00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,840 Speaker 16: this current New Zealand rugby union thinks about the fans. 913 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,960 Speaker 16: They don't understand the fans pay for everything I mean, 914 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,759 Speaker 16: you know, for everything, they just pay for everything and 915 00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,360 Speaker 16: they don't understand it and they're not concerned about it. 916 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,120 Speaker 3: Is this anything to do with silver Lake, you know, 917 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 3: the American connection. 918 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,520 Speaker 16: Well, they could well have something to do with it. 919 00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:20,400 Speaker 16: When when they announce a silver Lake deal, I suggested 920 00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:22,839 Speaker 16: that people should be should get used to the fact 921 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:27,440 Speaker 16: that the will be more test matches played overseas, including 922 00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 16: some of our domestic test matches. And that's what's happening. 923 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,640 Speaker 16: Silver Lake deal. I don't think I haven't seen any 924 00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:36,840 Speaker 16: benefits from it, and they're just looking at the extra 925 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,000 Speaker 16: ways of earning money. And if that's what they want 926 00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 16: to do, go for it. Forget about your fans back 927 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 16: here in New Zealand who have supported this team for 928 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,000 Speaker 16: well over one hundred years and they deserve to be 929 00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:48,640 Speaker 16: thought of and they're not by this mod. 930 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,520 Speaker 3: Well, the French side that's coming to news is not 931 00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:53,600 Speaker 3: going to be good because you know, the clubs are 932 00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,759 Speaker 3: not not letting go the players and so that the 933 00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:58,840 Speaker 3: tour will be a little bit of a phisit anyway, 934 00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:00,120 Speaker 3: and don't you think. 935 00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,520 Speaker 16: Well it could possibly be. But see the difference is 936 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:07,000 Speaker 16: that the clubs have a big say in French rugby, 937 00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,640 Speaker 16: and it seems to me that they're getting an even 938 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:14,480 Speaker 16: bigger say because they don't want their players. You know, 939 00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,400 Speaker 16: they're not centrally contracted like in New Zealand rugby. So 940 00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,280 Speaker 16: they're saying, we don't want our players to be playing 941 00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 16: a four club season, which in France will lasts until 942 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:26,800 Speaker 16: about June normally. They don't want them hopping on airplanes 943 00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 16: and coming over here, playing three test matches and then 944 00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:34,640 Speaker 16: going back and going straight back into training for their clubs, 945 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,160 Speaker 16: because in France the clubs are more important than the 946 00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:37,879 Speaker 16: national team. 947 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,960 Speaker 3: True enough, David Moffett, thank you so much for your expertise. 948 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:43,839 Speaker 3: I know the Dazi water grape. When were talking about 949 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:45,959 Speaker 3: this earlier, said look, yeah, play there all three games 950 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:47,400 Speaker 3: in New Zealand. And if you're going to play the 951 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,480 Speaker 3: third one instead of doing it in America, why don't 952 00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,440 Speaker 3: you do it in a regional town that hasn't had 953 00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:54,080 Speaker 3: the game for a while. And he said Yaro Stadium 954 00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,640 Speaker 3: or Trafalgar Park And I thought that's a great idea. 955 00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:01,560 Speaker 1: Digging deeper into the day's headlight sets, Andrew Dickens on 956 00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,800 Speaker 1: Heather due to clan drive with one new Zealand, let's 957 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:06,560 Speaker 1: get connected and new stalks that'd be. 958 00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,040 Speaker 3: So it's a very big down on the inset X 959 00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,880 Speaker 3: yesterday as the Augan Council sold its airport shares and 960 00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,400 Speaker 3: now there's a one point three billion dollar future fund. 961 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,040 Speaker 3: And the thing it was a bizarre day because brokers 962 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,239 Speaker 3: were pulling money out of stock so then slamming it 963 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,360 Speaker 3: into Auckland Airport, which meant instead of the market going up, 964 00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,560 Speaker 3: in fact the market had one of its biggest single 965 00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,799 Speaker 3: day falls this year. And what does that say to me? 966 00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,759 Speaker 3: It says our market is a weedy little thing with 967 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,080 Speaker 3: very few hero stocks, and when a hero stock turns up, 968 00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,319 Speaker 3: we all pile it. And this says to me, it's 969 00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,400 Speaker 3: more proof that the way we invest is too heavily 970 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:41,480 Speaker 3: skewed into the property market. Investment capital sits around in 971 00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:45,160 Speaker 3: bricks and mortar in property instead of firing on businesses 972 00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 3: that provide us with jobs and in turn the government 973 00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,040 Speaker 3: with revenue so they can build more roads and they 974 00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:54,239 Speaker 3: can hire more doctors and we can get better. If 975 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:57,200 Speaker 3: you look at government debt to GDP, there was around 976 00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:59,759 Speaker 3: about ninety percent at the end of last year. Not good. 977 00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,359 Speaker 3: Private debt is at one hundred and forty percent. That's 978 00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:07,839 Speaker 3: you and I at forty percent of GDP, that's private debt. 979 00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,520 Speaker 3: Some of that is working capital for businesses, but most 980 00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,000 Speaker 3: of it is in mortgages. It's in houses and not 981 00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,719 Speaker 3: in businesses and in jobs, which is why when the 982 00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:18,600 Speaker 3: Reserve Bank puts the squeeze on interest rates, we slump 983 00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,680 Speaker 3: into a recession quick smart and right about now, you're 984 00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:23,799 Speaker 3: going to say, here goes Dickens. He's going to say 985 00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,040 Speaker 3: we need a capital gains tax. But you'll be wrong 986 00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:29,600 Speaker 3: because I'm part of the problem. I'm sixty one, I'd 987 00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,120 Speaker 3: be working for forty years. I've got a portfolio of 988 00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:35,400 Speaker 3: four properties. This is the best way to ensure personal 989 00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:39,000 Speaker 3: financial growth. We've all known it. We've known it for generations. 990 00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:41,920 Speaker 3: Even though I know it's not great for the country, 991 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,680 Speaker 3: it's great for me. We're all saying this. I don't 992 00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,240 Speaker 3: want a capital gains tax, but at least I'm honest 993 00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:50,120 Speaker 3: about it. And if anybody thinks that they can change 994 00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:53,600 Speaker 3: this fundamental structural problem that New Zealand has fallen into 995 00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,640 Speaker 3: over fifty years year dreaming, it would lead to a 996 00:48:56,760 --> 00:49:00,840 Speaker 3: very long winter of economic discontent and are painfully slow recovery. 997 00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:03,480 Speaker 3: The only thing we can really do is try and 998 00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:07,000 Speaker 3: make the share market work, try and make liquid investments work, 999 00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,120 Speaker 3: make them more attractive, make them more lucrative, because at 1000 00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:12,840 Speaker 3: the moment we stick them into asset classes and property 1001 00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:15,680 Speaker 3: and maybe you could drop corporate taxt levels or maybe 1002 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:17,960 Speaker 3: capital gains on the share market. Maybe that makes a 1003 00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,319 Speaker 3: lot more sense. But if we don't watch out, we 1004 00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:24,920 Speaker 3: will end out dirt poor, with a lot of property 1005 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:28,239 Speaker 3: that looks very nice and maybe some nice arts, but 1006 00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:33,600 Speaker 3: no jobs. All right, The Deputy Prime Minister of Australia 1007 00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:36,520 Speaker 3: is my guest in just moments, he's also the Defense Minister. 1008 00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:40,239 Speaker 3: We're talking defense, we're talking China, we're talking Orcus, we're 1009 00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:41,200 Speaker 3: talking big stuff. 1010 00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:48,360 Speaker 1: In five, the day's newsmakers talk to Andrew first, Andrew 1011 00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:51,920 Speaker 1: Dickens on hither do for clan?

This 1021 00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,080 Speaker 3: is the song we're listened to right now. I never 1022 00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,160 Speaker 3: knew that that was Teddy Swims. Didn't know the song 1023 00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,560 Speaker 3: was called Lose Control. Know the song. I listened to 1024 00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,200 Speaker 3: music stations, but the kids on music stations can't be 1025 00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:51,080 Speaker 3: bothered back announcing songs, and so you go, that was nice. 1026 00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:51,759 Speaker 2: What was it? Oh? 1027 00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:53,680 Speaker 3: I don't know, Oh, okay, and you never figured it 1028 00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:57,680 Speaker 3: out anyway.

Oh excitement. I'm going to 1033 00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:13,680 Speaker 3: go through Christopher Luxen's wrapped list and I will tell 1034 00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:17,000 Speaker 3: you my number one song, which has shocked even myself. 1035 00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:22,440 Speaker 3: It is twenty two to six. Australia and New Zealand 1036 00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:26,000 Speaker 3: are set to discuss foreign policy, security and defense during 1037 00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:29,680 Speaker 3: high level talks tomorrow It comes after Defense Minister Judith 1038 00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,480 Speaker 3: Collins warned earlier this week that China's recent use of 1039 00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:37,240 Speaker 3: the inter continental Ballistic missile in the Pacific had changed everything. 1040 00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:41,320 Speaker 3: Australia's Deputy Prime Minister, Richard Miles and Foreign Minister Penny 1041 00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,680 Speaker 3: Wong will meet with Judith Collins and Winster Peters and 1042 00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:48,560 Speaker 3: the Australian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister Richard Miles himself 1043 00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,200 Speaker 3: joins me. Now, Hello Richard, and welcome to the program, 1044 00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:52,280 Speaker 3: and welcome to New Zealand. 1045 00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:55,040 Speaker 20: Good afternoon, Andrew. It's great to be talking with you. 1046 00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,640 Speaker 3: So is this week we delayed our defense plan because 1047 00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:01,279 Speaker 3: of the ICBM. How did Australia view China's use of 1048 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:01,920 Speaker 3: that missile? 1049 00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:06,640 Speaker 20: Well, I think what it tells us is that, well, firstly, 1050 00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:10,080 Speaker 20: we are living in a world where which is much 1051 00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:14,560 Speaker 20: less predictable, where there is much greater contest, strategic contest, 1052 00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,560 Speaker 20: and that contest is playing out in the Pacific as well. 1053 00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,880 Speaker 20: It's for those of us who are living in the 1054 00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:25,720 Speaker 20: Pacific as well as our neighbors, the Pacific island countries. 1055 00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:29,320 Speaker 20: We're not immune from the strategic contest which we're seeing 1056 00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:33,560 Speaker 20: throughout the endo Pacific. And I think the tests of 1057 00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:38,000 Speaker 20: the ICBM by China is a perfect example of that, 1058 00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:41,600 Speaker 20: but it's not the only example, and it really does 1059 00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:46,520 Speaker 20: remind us that what this requires is a rethinking and 1060 00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:48,920 Speaker 20: certainly we've been going through this process. I know New 1061 00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,840 Speaker 20: Zealand is now going through itself about what our strategic 1062 00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:56,400 Speaker 20: challenges are and therefore what kind of a defense force 1063 00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:59,239 Speaker 20: we need to meet those challenges, and therefore what we 1064 00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:00,200 Speaker 20: need to build in the few. 1065 00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:05,280 Speaker 3: While also trading with China, who is, for both about countries, 1066 00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:07,160 Speaker 3: one of our biggest trading partners. 1067 00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:11,520 Speaker 20: And that's true, and China is Australia's largest trading partner. 1068 00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:13,760 Speaker 20: It's obviously a very large trading partner for New Zealand 1069 00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:18,000 Speaker 20: as well, and so you know, it's a complex relationship. 1070 00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:21,080 Speaker 20: It's a difficult relationship with China. I mean to be clear, 1071 00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,920 Speaker 20: we want the most productive relationship we can have with 1072 00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,920 Speaker 20: China and a key part of what we've sought to 1073 00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,919 Speaker 20: do since coming to power back in twenty twenty two 1074 00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:33,360 Speaker 20: is to try and stabilize our relationship with China and 1075 00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:38,080 Speaker 20: we've seen the fruits of that with much greater dialogue 1076 00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,960 Speaker 20: at a ministerial level. We've seen the reinstitution of the 1077 00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:43,560 Speaker 20: better part of twenty billion dollars of trade between China 1078 00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,359 Speaker 20: and Australia. But at the same time, you know there 1079 00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:50,319 Speaker 20: are significant security anxieties with China, and so we've just 1080 00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:53,040 Speaker 20: got to manage all of that, I mean. And so 1081 00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:56,000 Speaker 20: in that sense we talk about working with China where 1082 00:53:56,040 --> 00:54:00,399 Speaker 20: we can, disagreeing with China where we must. And that's 1083 00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:05,400 Speaker 20: the challenge that we face. Nothing here is obvious, the 1084 00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:09,120 Speaker 20: way through is complicated, but one thing is clear. This 1085 00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:11,920 Speaker 20: is a time to be doubling down with friends. So 1086 00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:15,200 Speaker 20: many of our countries in the region face the same challenges, 1087 00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,160 Speaker 20: but for Australia and New Zealand, you know, there are 1088 00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,640 Speaker 20: no two countries as close to each other as Australia. 1089 00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:21,840 Speaker 20: In New Zealand, this is the time to be doubling 1090 00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:22,840 Speaker 20: down in our relationship. 1091 00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:25,040 Speaker 3: And we need to be clear with China that we 1092 00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:26,799 Speaker 3: want peace, but we also need to be clear that 1093 00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,560 Speaker 3: they can't take advantage of our smaller South Pacific nations 1094 00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:32,319 Speaker 3: and therefore we have a responsibility to be able to 1095 00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:35,640 Speaker 3: protect our brothers and sisters throughout the Pacific and so on. 1096 00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:38,880 Speaker 3: That New Zealand spends one point one seven percent of 1097 00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,960 Speaker 3: GDP on defense. You, on the other hand, spend one 1098 00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,920 Speaker 3: point nine percent. There's the old rule of thumb that 1099 00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,799 Speaker 3: two percent is the optimum level. Would you, in an 1100 00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:50,759 Speaker 3: ideal world like to see New Zealand spending more money 1101 00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:54,439 Speaker 3: on its defense capability so that you and I we 1102 00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:56,280 Speaker 3: can actually defend our patch better. 1103 00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,400 Speaker 20: Well, the last thing I'm going to do is give 1104 00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:04,040 Speaker 20: advice the New Zealand government about how it allocates its budget. 1105 00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:07,359 Speaker 20: From our point of view, we're at about too now, 1106 00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:10,520 Speaker 20: and we're growing our defense budget to two point three 1107 00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:13,640 Speaker 20: to two point four over the course of the decade, 1108 00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:18,359 Speaker 20: and that does reflect a much more challenging strategic landscape 1109 00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:23,160 Speaker 20: in our view, and so we are dramatically increasing our 1110 00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,600 Speaker 20: military capability. I mean to put that into dollars, that's 1111 00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,640 Speaker 20: about an additional five billion Australian dollars in over the 1112 00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:34,120 Speaker 20: next four years, about an additional fifty billion Australian dollars 1113 00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:38,840 Speaker 20: over the next decade in terms of our defense budget. 1114 00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:44,040 Speaker 20: And those represent as significant increases in peace time in 1115 00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:46,839 Speaker 20: our defense spending really since the end of the Second 1116 00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,040 Speaker 20: World War. So that gives you a sense of the 1117 00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:53,120 Speaker 20: strategic landscape that we observe and that we are responding to. 1118 00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:56,240 Speaker 20: I think what we will be talking to New Zealand 1119 00:55:56,280 --> 00:56:00,840 Speaker 20: about during the course of today tomorrow is really making 1120 00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:03,400 Speaker 20: sure that whatever either of us are spending on defense, 1121 00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:06,359 Speaker 20: we need to be maximizing that spend through a much 1122 00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:09,719 Speaker 20: greater coordination between our two countries. And we've actually done 1123 00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:13,120 Speaker 20: so much in the last year or two in relation 1124 00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:16,360 Speaker 20: to that, and so the real opportunity not just in 1125 00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:18,880 Speaker 20: terms of how much we spend, but the quality of 1126 00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:22,279 Speaker 20: that spend is where we can get so much value 1127 00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:25,400 Speaker 20: through the very strong relationship that our two countries have. 1128 00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:28,160 Speaker 3: So in terms of that cooperation, August Pillar two do 1129 00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:29,200 Speaker 3: you want us to join that? 1130 00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:31,000 Speaker 11: Well? 1131 00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:36,640 Speaker 20: August Aucus is a technology sharing arrangement. Obviously, August Pilla 1132 00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:41,520 Speaker 20: one is particularly around Australia acquiring a submarine capability or 1133 00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:45,560 Speaker 20: a particular submarine capability. But Pillar two is about looking 1134 00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:50,880 Speaker 20: at new innovative technologies in the defense space. We are 1135 00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:54,960 Speaker 20: consulting with a number of countries, including New Zealand, exploring 1136 00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:59,120 Speaker 20: opportunities where on a project by project basis there might 1137 00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:04,520 Speaker 20: be an ability for us to work together. None of 1138 00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:08,319 Speaker 20: this is going to happen tomorrow, it's it's but over 1139 00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:12,880 Speaker 20: the longer term. Clearly New Zealand has capability, and clearly 1140 00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:15,439 Speaker 20: New Zealand is a country with whom we have great 1141 00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:16,280 Speaker 20: strategic trust. 1142 00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:19,920 Speaker 3: But do we need Aucust Pillar two to be able 1143 00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:23,360 Speaker 3: to work together with you? In other words, is our 1144 00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:29,600 Speaker 3: current information and technology sharing arrangements not up to par No, I. 1145 00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:31,320 Speaker 20: Wouldn't put it in those terms at all. I mean, 1146 00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:35,880 Speaker 20: there's nothing about Aucust Pillar two which becomes conditional in 1147 00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:38,080 Speaker 20: the context of our relationship. We want to be as 1148 00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:41,240 Speaker 20: close to New Zealand as we can possibly be, whatever 1149 00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:44,480 Speaker 20: happens in terms of working on particular projects in relation 1150 00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:47,800 Speaker 20: to August Pillar two. And in fact, if you look 1151 00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:50,040 Speaker 20: at what we've been doing, you know, over the course 1152 00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:54,200 Speaker 20: of the last twelve months, we've seen dramatic increases in 1153 00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:57,120 Speaker 20: the way in which our two countries have cooperated around 1154 00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:01,840 Speaker 20: you know, military planning, for example, looking at how we 1155 00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:04,920 Speaker 20: can better kind of get bang for our buck in 1156 00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:09,200 Speaker 20: terms of our procurement spend. We're looking at every opportunity 1157 00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:12,960 Speaker 20: to create a more ANZAC feel, if you like, in 1158 00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:16,240 Speaker 20: terms of the way in which how to defense forces operate. 1159 00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:19,520 Speaker 20: And that, as I say, goes back to maximizing what 1160 00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:22,120 Speaker 20: both of our countries are spending on defense, the quality 1161 00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:25,720 Speaker 20: of that spend, and reflecting the fact that our two 1162 00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:30,320 Speaker 20: countries have complete trust like it's our closest relationship, it 1163 00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:33,040 Speaker 20: is for New Zealand as well, it makes sense for 1164 00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:34,920 Speaker 20: us to be working as closely together as we can be. 1165 00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:38,160 Speaker 3: Well, let's talk about relationships, because obviously the Australian Labor 1166 00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:41,040 Speaker 3: Party is clearly convinced that UCUS is a good idea. 1167 00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:44,800 Speaker 3: And yet the New Zealand Labor Party voted last weekend 1168 00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,160 Speaker 3: that it would not join August. They went further than that, 1169 00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:50,040 Speaker 3: they said they would exit Aucust if New Zealand were 1170 00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:53,840 Speaker 3: to join and they ever become the government. Again, should 1171 00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:56,280 Speaker 3: you be talking to your brothers across the Tasman about 1172 00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:57,680 Speaker 3: a bipartisan agreement. 1173 00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:02,240 Speaker 20: Well, obviously what the New Zealand Labor Party says and 1174 00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:06,640 Speaker 20: does is a matter for it from our point of view. 1175 00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:12,040 Speaker 20: In terms of the pillar one, which is around Australia 1176 00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:18,200 Speaker 20: acquiring a particular submarine capability that is clearly specific to Australia, 1177 00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:21,720 Speaker 20: the idea of Australia and New Zealand working together in 1178 00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:26,240 Speaker 20: terms of new technologies is not a particularly new idea. 1179 00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:30,880 Speaker 20: It really is just exploring what opportunities there might be 1180 00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:34,160 Speaker 20: on a project by project basis going forward. As I say, 1181 00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:37,600 Speaker 20: none of this is happening tomorrow. We're very much in 1182 00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:41,200 Speaker 20: an exploratory phase. We're not just talking to New Zealand, 1183 00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:45,640 Speaker 20: but we're also talking with Canada, Japan, Korea. And you 1184 00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:48,920 Speaker 20: can see what we're looking at is countries that have 1185 00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:54,280 Speaker 20: capability that they had technological expertise, but countries with whom 1186 00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:56,440 Speaker 20: our selves in the United States and the United Kingdom 1187 00:59:56,480 --> 01:00:00,520 Speaker 20: shared deep strategic trust. And it's really no, no more 1188 01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:01,400 Speaker 20: complicated than that. 1189 01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:05,320 Speaker 3: Richard, I trust you have a very fruitful meeting tomorrow. 1190 01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:07,240 Speaker 3: Thank you so much for coming over and thank you 1191 01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:10,280 Speaker 3: for your time today. That is Richard Miles, Australian Deputy 1192 01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:14,480 Speaker 3: Prime Minister and Defense Minister. And of course the summit happens, 1193 01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:17,360 Speaker 3: the high level talks happens tomorrow. It is thirteen to six. 1194 01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:20,320 Speaker 3: The huddle is next with Nick Leggett and Tim Wilson 1195 01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:24,840 Speaker 3: take through. While that Australian was so impressive, so unpolitical, 1196 01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:29,120 Speaker 3: yes he was so extraordinarily diplomatic, yes he was. But 1197 01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:31,080 Speaker 3: what we did get out of there is that August 1198 01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:34,160 Speaker 3: two is a whole series of projects on all sorts 1199 01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,440 Speaker 3: of levels of technology and everything, which is more than 1200 01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:39,080 Speaker 3: we've had before. So I think Richard is now eleven 1201 01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:39,680 Speaker 3: to six. 1202 01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:43,680 Speaker 1: The Huddle with New Zealand Southerby's International Realty, local and 1203 01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:45,680 Speaker 1: global exposure like no other. 1204 01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:48,480 Speaker 3: Nick Leggett from Infrastructure New Zealand and Tim Wilson from 1205 01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:52,240 Speaker 3: the Maximine Institute, Welcome to the program, gentlemen, good evening, 1206 01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:55,920 Speaker 3: Hello Nick Leggett, the bank of Mum and Dad. Are 1207 01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:57,920 Speaker 3: you one or did you use one? 1208 01:00:59,040 --> 01:00:59,400 Speaker 2: Well? 1209 01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:01,960 Speaker 21: Probably a bit like Tim, my kids are a bit 1210 01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:07,320 Speaker 21: young at this point, but yeah, like I actually I 1211 01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:10,680 Speaker 21: bought a house with my parents jointly when I was 1212 01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:13,080 Speaker 21: in my late twenties, and it was it had a 1213 01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:15,919 Speaker 21: tenant in it for three or four years, and then 1214 01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,280 Speaker 21: I brought them out and I moved into it. So 1215 01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:21,400 Speaker 21: that if that's you know, I didn't borrow any money 1216 01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:25,080 Speaker 21: from them, but we bought something jointly and that helped 1217 01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:27,160 Speaker 21: me get into the housing market. And yes, I would 1218 01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:30,680 Speaker 21: do it for my children because I'm a view I'm 1219 01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:34,960 Speaker 21: of the view that a property owning democracy is what 1220 01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:37,880 Speaker 21: New Zealand should continue to aim for. We should also 1221 01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:41,560 Speaker 21: develop other types of houses, of course, because not everybody, Yeah, 1222 01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:43,160 Speaker 21: everybody cann in a house. 1223 01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:45,560 Speaker 6: Those who choose to should be able to. 1224 01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:47,200 Speaker 3: But when the bank of Mom and Dad ended up 1225 01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:50,280 Speaker 3: taking over sixty five percent of all the property transactions, 1226 01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:54,160 Speaker 3: you know, it's a very unbalanced economy, don't you think totally? 1227 01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:54,760 Speaker 2: That's right? 1228 01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:57,480 Speaker 21: And the question is how do we get how do 1229 01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:01,080 Speaker 21: we get to a balance point where we you know, 1230 01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:05,080 Speaker 21: people can can get into the housing market themselves, that 1231 01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:08,120 Speaker 21: their incomes, can you know, in some way give them 1232 01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:11,640 Speaker 21: an ability to service a mortgage without resorting to to 1233 01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:12,680 Speaker 21: the bank of mom and Dad. 1234 01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:16,160 Speaker 22: It's an affordability It's an affordability issue, isn't it. I 1235 01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:18,000 Speaker 22: mean that's that that's check key here. We actually at 1236 01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:21,640 Speaker 22: maxim we've just produced a research paper on this. Free 1237 01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:23,600 Speaker 22: we need to free up the land that we have 1238 01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:26,840 Speaker 22: to actually and lower the expensive building. And one thing 1239 01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:29,320 Speaker 22: that happens in Houston is they let streets determine their 1240 01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:32,160 Speaker 22: own zoning, so you just take a vote's like what 1241 01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:35,960 Speaker 22: the density like, and there's much there's much more flexibility 1242 01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:38,840 Speaker 22: within the unitary plan. We don't have that. We've got 1243 01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:41,840 Speaker 22: to blow away some of this some of this administrative 1244 01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:44,760 Speaker 22: hurdles that contribute to the high cost of housing. 1245 01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:46,560 Speaker 3: Well, that's what mister Seymore is doing. Is is that 1246 01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:50,040 Speaker 3: is that what his new Bureau of Regulatory Reform is 1247 01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:51,720 Speaker 3: going to be or whatever he's calling in the ministry. 1248 01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:55,080 Speaker 22: I'm not aware, but I'd be more than happy to 1249 01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:56,280 Speaker 22: remit the paper to him. 1250 01:02:56,680 --> 01:03:00,680 Speaker 21: Yeah, this should I mean this, this what we're talking 1251 01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:02,760 Speaker 21: about here is more go to be covered in the 1252 01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:06,240 Speaker 21: reforms to the Resource Management Act. So this is about, 1253 01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:10,680 Speaker 21: you know, the sort of central control of district plans 1254 01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:14,800 Speaker 21: for councils. We do require regional deals that the government 1255 01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:17,200 Speaker 21: is talking about are going to be really important here 1256 01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:21,720 Speaker 21: because they could partnerships between local and central government really 1257 01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:25,880 Speaker 21: unlock these big areas of land funder the infrastructure, both 1258 01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:28,720 Speaker 21: under the ground and above the ground, have good links, 1259 01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:33,320 Speaker 21: transport links, and critically move them quickly so you don't 1260 01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:38,160 Speaker 21: have these massive upticks in value that effectively shut people out. 1261 01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:41,160 Speaker 22: And also, if it all works, I won't have to 1262 01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:43,640 Speaker 22: buy the kids any houses. Four boys, four houses. 1263 01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:44,440 Speaker 2: Forget about it. 1264 01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:45,360 Speaker 5: They're not getting it. 1265 01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:48,760 Speaker 3: Yes in Auckland, for goodness, say of course, yeah, and 1266 01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:50,640 Speaker 3: Tim should have thought about that earlier.

The issue 1329 01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:22,840 Speaker 3: yesterday one point three billion that went to the Auckland 1330 01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:26,480 Speaker 3: Council and despite the high volume of shares that sold, 1331 01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:29,160 Speaker 3: the Indiex had its biggest fall of the year. So 1332 01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:32,040 Speaker 3: Liam Dan will talk about this shortly. But first, the 1333 01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:36,320 Speaker 3: dairy farmers are happy. The milk price has cracked double digits. 1334 01:07:36,680 --> 01:07:40,600 Speaker 3: Fonterra has raised its forecast farm gate milk price by 1335 01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:43,680 Speaker 3: fifty cents to a mid point of ten dollars, and 1336 01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:45,760 Speaker 3: that is the second rise in less than a month, 1337 01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:48,640 Speaker 3: and the company says it's due to strong demand from 1338 01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:54,160 Speaker 3: China and Southeast Asia. Andrew Murray is Fonterra's chief financial officer. 1339 01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:56,480 Speaker 3: He knows the money, he knows the figures, and he 1340 01:07:56,560 --> 01:08:00,400 Speaker 3: joins right now, Hello Andrew, good evening, How are you good? 1341 01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:02,800 Speaker 3: I would say the farmers are very good too, aren't they. 1342 01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:06,160 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, that's certainly. The feedback that we've had early 1343 01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:08,960 Speaker 8: on is ye's very positive from the farmer beef. 1344 01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:11,320 Speaker 3: The Campidy says is due to strong demand from China 1345 01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:14,360 Speaker 3: and Southeast Asia. Now, please come on. About eighteen months ago, 1346 01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:17,759 Speaker 3: the fact the GDT, the global dairy trade auction figures 1347 01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:20,439 Speaker 3: were going down and people were saying the Chinese economy 1348 01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:22,640 Speaker 3: appears to be tanking. This is looking bad and there 1349 01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:25,280 Speaker 3: were lots of warnings for farmers. So can you please 1350 01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:28,599 Speaker 3: explain to me how come China, who have still not recovered, 1351 01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:30,360 Speaker 3: are actually driving this grace? 1352 01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:33,840 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that the core behind it, actually, I 1353 01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:37,680 Speaker 8: would see is the is the domestic production. And so 1354 01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:39,879 Speaker 8: last year there was quite a lot of domestic production 1355 01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:42,559 Speaker 8: in China that got turned into milk Podo and so 1356 01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:45,760 Speaker 8: there was a lot of inventory around that has been exhausted. 1357 01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:49,479 Speaker 8: They've rebalanced the heads domestically within China and so we're 1358 01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:52,760 Speaker 8: seeing that demand come back pretty strong. And then the 1359 01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:55,200 Speaker 8: other side, of course, is just that you know, US 1360 01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:59,559 Speaker 8: production is very flat, European production is done, so the 1361 01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:02,200 Speaker 8: demand and imports is pretty good from our perspective, and 1362 01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:04,040 Speaker 8: we've had a strong start to the season as well. 1363 01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:06,519 Speaker 3: Well, there is good news. What about Southeast Asia? What 1364 01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:07,280 Speaker 3: what would win? 1365 01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:11,719 Speaker 8: So well there, Oh, it's actually pretty across the board, 1366 01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:14,280 Speaker 8: to be honest, there's nothing specific. It's it's in line 1367 01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:16,880 Speaker 8: with how it's been for at least the past twelve 1368 01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:19,439 Speaker 8: to eighteen months. So it continues to be a strong 1369 01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:21,519 Speaker 8: market for US. You see that, you know, if you 1370 01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:23,720 Speaker 8: if you look a little bit into GDT and you'll 1371 01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:26,840 Speaker 8: see China's definitely stronger in the last in the last 1372 01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:29,320 Speaker 8: few auctions. So as we get as we really push 1373 01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:33,280 Speaker 8: up that, you know in the milk price, FEA does 1374 01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:35,559 Speaker 8: tend to bond off a little bit. They don't tend 1375 01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:38,240 Speaker 8: to play quite as much in terms of high prices 1376 01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:40,360 Speaker 8: as the China bios do and we're seeing that play 1377 01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:40,920 Speaker 8: out a little bit. 1378 01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:43,760 Speaker 3: Lare Okay, it's not all good news. Better? What's wrong 1379 01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:46,240 Speaker 3: with Better? There's some five point two percent. And the 1380 01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:48,439 Speaker 3: other one is Mozzarella, which has been going down at 1381 01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:50,880 Speaker 3: big time. It's on four point five to one auction 1382 01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:54,040 Speaker 3: and six point six last night. What's that happening there? 1383 01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:57,320 Speaker 8: Yeah, Look, we've we've to be honest, we've been waiting 1384 01:09:57,360 --> 01:09:59,680 Speaker 8: for a little bit of that reversion to happen. So 1385 01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,160 Speaker 8: you know that that's the stream returns turning back a 1386 01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:04,360 Speaker 8: little bit normal. So certainly when you look at that 1387 01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:08,559 Speaker 8: again compared to what's happening in Europe and US, we've 1388 01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:10,599 Speaker 8: been expecting them to come off a little bit. So yeah, 1389 01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:12,680 Speaker 8: that that's something that we've been waiting on, probably for 1390 01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:13,120 Speaker 8: a few months. 1391 01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:13,360 Speaker 18: Done. 1392 01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:15,880 Speaker 3: Well, you're getting rid of you know, your value added brands, 1393 01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:18,040 Speaker 3: you know, the mainland and the anchor and stuff like that. 1394 01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:20,000 Speaker 3: Would there ever be a day where you just said 1395 01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:21,880 Speaker 3: to Mozzarella, I'm sorry, your day is done? 1396 01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:26,120 Speaker 8: Oh yeah, I don't know if we're in that space. 1397 01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:29,400 Speaker 3: Okay, that's well, that's good news. And here's the other 1398 01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:32,599 Speaker 3: thing that I find interesting. You are going to raise 1399 01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:34,400 Speaker 3: the farm gate price. But your profit for the first 1400 01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:37,400 Speaker 3: quarter is actually down like thirty percent. So that's two 1401 01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:39,960 Speaker 3: hundred and sixty three down from three hundred and forty 1402 01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:43,160 Speaker 3: six millions. So how come you're paying your you know, 1403 01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:45,200 Speaker 3: your shareholders more and yet your profit's gone down. 1404 01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:48,479 Speaker 8: Yeah. Look, I think the key in this one is, 1405 01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:50,840 Speaker 8: you know, our profit was still really strong for the quarter. 1406 01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:54,280 Speaker 8: If you're compared to that quarter last year, we probably 1407 01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:56,479 Speaker 8: had a milk price that was you know, over two 1408 01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:59,040 Speaker 8: dollars less than it is now and so obviously you 1409 01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:00,920 Speaker 8: know that you'll see that come through in the actual 1410 01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:04,280 Speaker 8: profit result. But still a very strong quarter for us, 1411 01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:06,800 Speaker 8: and you see actually from a margin perspective, better than 1412 01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:09,599 Speaker 8: than Q four last year. So we actually feel really 1413 01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:11,960 Speaker 8: good about the quarter numbers that they're in a good space. 1414 01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:15,280 Speaker 8: But you know, the key is that we've got a 1415 01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:17,320 Speaker 8: very strong balance sheep with what hard over the last 1416 01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:19,280 Speaker 8: few years to get ourselves into a really good shape. 1417 01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:21,920 Speaker 8: You know, if I look at these changes, you know, 1418 01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:24,160 Speaker 8: the milk price going up, et cetera. I mean that's 1419 01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:26,720 Speaker 8: that's you know, a good few hundred million that's going 1420 01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:30,000 Speaker 8: into the farmer's pockets in January above what we expected. 1421 01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:32,320 Speaker 8: But the strength of the balance sheet is really alone 1422 01:11:32,439 --> 01:11:32,920 Speaker 8: is to do that. 1423 01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:35,880 Speaker 3: True, and you also have costs as you change your 1424 01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:38,080 Speaker 3: business model, so that might affect things in the in 1425 01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:39,760 Speaker 3: the short to medium. 1426 01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:42,560 Speaker 8: Oh yeah, look, we've got that well planned. And you 1427 01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:44,599 Speaker 8: know we've rear from our guidance for the year in 1428 01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:48,920 Speaker 8: that forty to sixty sense pushyeer range. That's that's largely 1429 01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:51,760 Speaker 8: in language last year. So yeah, we're feeling okay in 1430 01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:53,240 Speaker 8: terms of how we're playing out for the rest of 1431 01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:53,559 Speaker 8: the year. 1432 01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:56,120 Speaker 3: All we have to say now is congratulations, are a 1433 01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:57,800 Speaker 3: good result and none may they continue? 1434 01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:00,000 Speaker 8: Yes, indeed, so thank you. 1435 01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:04,759 Speaker 3: That is Andrew Murray.

What's going to happen to the money. 1474 01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:02,120 Speaker 24: So from an investment point of view, it makes sense. 1475 01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:04,639 Speaker 24: When why would you have all your money in one 1476 01:14:04,720 --> 01:14:07,560 Speaker 24: stock effectively, well not all your money, but you know 1477 01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:09,200 Speaker 24: a big chunk of that money in one stock. 1478 01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:09,800 Speaker 9: You don't do that. 1479 01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:12,080 Speaker 24: You have a fund with a whole range of stocks 1480 01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:14,960 Speaker 24: and you probably, you don't know, stick with. 1481 01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:15,519 Speaker 11: The nz X. 1482 01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:18,040 Speaker 24: You're probably going to head offshore and go to the 1483 01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:20,720 Speaker 24: most lucrative markets and try and get a better, more 1484 01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:24,599 Speaker 24: stable return because you know you're vulnerable with one stock. 1485 01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:26,960 Speaker 24: So it makes sense, but it kind of felt to 1486 01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:28,960 Speaker 24: me like the end of a little bit of a 1487 01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:33,599 Speaker 24: sorry saga. I've been covering the Council's efforts to get 1488 01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:37,800 Speaker 24: out of, or not out of sell these airport shares 1489 01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:40,400 Speaker 24: since about two thousand and two. I think I could 1490 01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:42,880 Speaker 24: find the Herald talking about it since nineteen ninety nine. 1491 01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:45,920 Speaker 24: So there's been various times where there's been big interests 1492 01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:50,880 Speaker 24: from overseas players ninety nine, two thousand and seven where 1493 01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:54,080 Speaker 24: the Council could have shot sold what was a strategic stake, 1494 01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:57,800 Speaker 24: like almost a controlling stake above twenty percent for a premium, 1495 01:14:57,920 --> 01:14:59,639 Speaker 24: and then they could have gone and used the money 1496 01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:02,719 Speaker 24: where to generate more return. 1497 01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:05,599 Speaker 3: But so if you're saying they could have made more 1498 01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:07,320 Speaker 3: if they sold earlier. 1499 01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:10,160 Speaker 24: Yeah, I think what held the whole thing up, obviously 1500 01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:13,600 Speaker 24: in a democratic process, is there was a debate for 1501 01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:15,760 Speaker 24: a long time which has been lost by the state 1502 01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:19,559 Speaker 24: ownership people really about whether we should strategically have a 1503 01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:21,960 Speaker 24: controlling stake in our own airport, whether we need to 1504 01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:25,640 Speaker 24: as a council or a government own these assets. And 1505 01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:28,840 Speaker 24: you know, look that there may be some arguments, but 1506 01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:32,120 Speaker 24: clearly it's been lost. And so what's what's happened is 1507 01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:34,840 Speaker 24: that we've ended up selling in bits and pieces, selling down, 1508 01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:39,280 Speaker 24: not taking up the capital, the capital raising the share 1509 01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:43,519 Speaker 24: issue during COVID which moved them below twenty percent. You 1510 01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:46,200 Speaker 24: lose a premium below twenty percent. Basically, if you want 1511 01:15:46,200 --> 01:15:48,320 Speaker 24: to sell more than twenty percent, you can get a 1512 01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:51,320 Speaker 24: very good price if there's a big international buyer looking 1513 01:15:51,320 --> 01:15:53,559 Speaker 24: to do a takeover. But you know they've done it right, 1514 01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:56,000 Speaker 24: they've sold on market. They've done a right with this transaction. 1515 01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:59,360 Speaker 24: But if you look back over twenty five years, maybe 1516 01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:01,360 Speaker 24: they could have been in a bit more financially savvy. 1517 01:16:01,760 --> 01:16:04,679 Speaker 3: And there's also been argibagi about the Future Fund amongst 1518 01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:07,720 Speaker 3: the councilors themselves. This is wayde Brown's big idea, you know, 1519 01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:10,400 Speaker 3: just to try and free up capital, because he's seen 1520 01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:13,080 Speaker 3: he's had to do all the stuff after the storms, 1521 01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:14,760 Speaker 3: he's had to do all every now and then you 1522 01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:16,200 Speaker 3: get a shock, and when you get a shock, you 1523 01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:18,040 Speaker 3: have to pay for it, and then you head up 1524 01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:20,080 Speaker 3: the rate payers. And he doesn't want to do that anymore. 1525 01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:22,639 Speaker 3: So so now we're going to have debate about what 1526 01:16:22,680 --> 01:16:24,720 Speaker 3: to do with the one point three billion, how much 1527 01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:26,840 Speaker 3: of it to keep liquid, how much of it to 1528 01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:28,880 Speaker 3: stick away another invest ethical. 1529 01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:28,760 Speaker 7: To be. 1530 01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:32,559 Speaker 24: Going to get a straight into tobacco stocks because they're 1531 01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:33,560 Speaker 24: making good money. 1532 01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:35,240 Speaker 3: Or you said as soon as you said, they'll go 1533 01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:37,880 Speaker 3: for an overseas market. But you know, so it is 1534 01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:42,479 Speaker 3: on the council. Richard Hills invested in New Zealand company. 1535 01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:45,920 Speaker 24: How much political obligation do they have to do all that? 1536 01:16:46,040 --> 01:16:48,519 Speaker 24: But really, if it becomes like a you know, we've 1537 01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:50,240 Speaker 24: got a good model and the n z's super fund, 1538 01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:53,000 Speaker 24: which is is trying to be sort of ethical ish. 1539 01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:55,160 Speaker 24: You know, I think they're still in oil stocks, but 1540 01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:58,240 Speaker 24: they've got out of you know, they're not in guns 1541 01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:01,720 Speaker 24: and all that, all that sort of stuff. You know, 1542 01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:04,320 Speaker 24: so ethical ish, and really, you know, at this point 1543 01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:06,680 Speaker 24: you're going, well, this fund is meant to maximize the 1544 01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:10,559 Speaker 24: return for rate payers, and so I guess they've got 1545 01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:12,519 Speaker 24: a look at setting something up that can do as 1546 01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:15,960 Speaker 24: well as that and of course return more than the 1547 01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:18,320 Speaker 24: airport returns over the next few years. 1548 01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:20,439 Speaker 3: We need to minimize the dead rats that need to 1549 01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:20,960 Speaker 3: be swallowed. 1550 01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:21,960 Speaker 9: You go. 1551 01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:24,400 Speaker 3: But here's and here's the thing that I talked about 1552 01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:27,240 Speaker 3: last hour from my point of view, was that all 1553 01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:31,160 Speaker 3: the money that went into to the Council's coffers came 1554 01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:34,200 Speaker 3: out of stocks elsewhere in the market, so overall the 1555 01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:37,760 Speaker 3: nz X dropped. It actually had its worst day, and 1556 01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:40,200 Speaker 3: it just struck me that that shows you just how 1557 01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:43,960 Speaker 3: few real hero stocks we have, and the brokers all 1558 01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:46,640 Speaker 3: jumped through the for the newest thing. And while this 1559 01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:48,760 Speaker 3: doesn't affect each of the companies, you know, it does 1560 01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:51,000 Speaker 3: affect their ability to capitalize and do all sorts of thing. 1561 01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:53,560 Speaker 24: The airport's a useful thing if it's in a portfolio 1562 01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:55,800 Speaker 24: because it's not going anywhere. It'll go up and down 1563 01:17:55,840 --> 01:17:59,320 Speaker 24: with it. But you know, it's considered infrastructure stable investment, 1564 01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:02,840 Speaker 24: not a huge returner. But it does reflect the fact 1565 01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:05,080 Speaker 24: that the money's all been heading to Wall Street. I 1566 01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:07,760 Speaker 24: mean those tech stocks, you know, the thing propping up 1567 01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:11,280 Speaker 24: our KIV saber funds and it's I'm reading stuff. It 1568 01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:14,840 Speaker 24: does worry a few commentators that, you know, by pouring 1569 01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:16,960 Speaker 24: all that money into Wall Street, it just grows and 1570 01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:20,080 Speaker 24: grows and grows. It's pretty highly valued already, so in 1571 01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:21,600 Speaker 24: a funny sort of way, it's a bit of a 1572 01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:23,800 Speaker 24: dilemma for them, really, whether they go for all those 1573 01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:26,439 Speaker 24: highly valued stocks that have returned so much over the 1574 01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:27,000 Speaker 24: past year. 1575 01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:31,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, like Nvidia, you know, that's a hero stock, absolutely, 1576 01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:33,040 Speaker 3: but also some people are also going, well, it might 1577 01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:35,120 Speaker 3: not be as much of a hero as you think, 1578 01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:37,040 Speaker 3: and so if that's the case, then you've got to collapse, 1579 01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:39,280 Speaker 3: so you know. But at the same time, what I'm 1580 01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:41,120 Speaker 3: saying is in New Zealand, it would be great if 1581 01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:42,559 Speaker 3: we had a few more hero stocks. 1582 01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:44,080 Speaker 24: I think that is I think that is a big 1583 01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:47,200 Speaker 24: issue with our economy, the lack of a really large 1584 01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:50,840 Speaker 24: financial sector. We don't have the banks, we don't have 1585 01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:54,599 Speaker 24: you know, we have a fledgling tech sector but not 1586 01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:57,519 Speaker 24: really listed, you know, so we don't have a great 1587 01:18:57,560 --> 01:19:00,479 Speaker 24: representation of the economy on our sheer market. We haven't 1588 01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:03,000 Speaker 24: for a while. And it's just got so much easier 1589 01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:04,960 Speaker 24: for that. All the young people coming into stocks and 1590 01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:07,640 Speaker 24: shears which is great on shears's and whatnot. Now they 1591 01:19:07,640 --> 01:19:09,320 Speaker 24: can just go around the world and so. 1592 01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:11,639 Speaker 3: You know, you know where the money is. The money 1593 01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:12,840 Speaker 3: is in our houses. 1594 01:19:12,479 --> 01:19:14,640 Speaker 24: That is right, And that's a whole other conversation. 1595 01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:18,160 Speaker 3: Good stuff, Thank you so much. Liam. 1596 01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:22,000 Speaker 2: The Rural Report on hither do for see Alan Drive. 1597 01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:26,400 Speaker 3: Jerry McKay from the Country, Hello, how are you mate. Oh, 1598 01:19:26,439 --> 01:19:27,240 Speaker 3: I have to push a button. 1599 01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:27,559 Speaker 2: Hold on. 1600 01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:29,400 Speaker 3: I thought you were on WhatsApp. No, of course not, 1601 01:19:29,400 --> 01:19:30,160 Speaker 3: you're on a phone. 1602 01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:34,040 Speaker 13: Hello Jamie, Hello Andrew, Take two. 1603 01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:34,519 Speaker 9: Take two. 1604 01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:36,880 Speaker 3: How was the Emerson's golf opened at the Otago Golf 1605 01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:37,679 Speaker 3: Club last week? 1606 01:19:38,360 --> 01:19:41,479 Speaker 13: It was wonderful, Thank you. Wonderful but a controversy with 1607 01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:44,040 Speaker 13: the winning team, but other than that a great day. 1608 01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:45,160 Speaker 3: Did you win again? 1609 01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:48,400 Speaker 13: No, no, no, no, no golf and I will golf 1610 01:19:48,439 --> 01:19:51,680 Speaker 13: and winning and myself are kind of mutually exclusive. 1611 01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:55,280 Speaker 3: Andrew, Yeah, okay, well good, well, look, come and play 1612 01:19:55,320 --> 01:19:57,120 Speaker 3: golf in the other island from time to time and 1613 01:19:57,120 --> 01:19:59,880 Speaker 3: then you'll find out. Now, the big story is for 1614 01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:02,280 Speaker 3: tear a ten dollars milk price despite a thirty percent 1615 01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:04,160 Speaker 3: drop in profit. But the farm gate's good. 1616 01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:07,840 Speaker 13: Yeah, I look, and I heard most of your interview. 1617 01:20:07,960 --> 01:20:11,320 Speaker 13: Will you chat with Andrew Murray the CFO or the 1618 01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:15,080 Speaker 13: new CFO. Look, I no surprise that the profit's down 1619 01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:17,200 Speaker 13: a way that when the milk price goes up, the 1620 01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:20,800 Speaker 13: ingredients are more expensive. But look, this is a cooperative. 1621 01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:23,439 Speaker 13: It's owned by the farmers. The most important number, by 1622 01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:26,719 Speaker 13: the length of the straight is the milk price. Ten dollars. 1623 01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:29,599 Speaker 13: It's a new record. I've never been in double digits 1624 01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:32,880 Speaker 13: before Eclipse is the previous record of nine dollars thirty 1625 01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:35,040 Speaker 13: in the twenty one to twenty two season. But to 1626 01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:37,599 Speaker 13: be honest, before everyone thinks the dairy farmers are going 1627 01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:41,080 Speaker 13: to get rich and that's fleece them or do whatever. 1628 01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:44,680 Speaker 13: In real terms, probably the best payout, and it was, 1629 01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:48,280 Speaker 13: would be twenty thirteen fourteen eight dollars forty. That's a 1630 01:20:48,320 --> 01:20:51,919 Speaker 13: decade ago. Since then we've had horrendous on farm inflation. 1631 01:20:52,160 --> 01:20:54,760 Speaker 13: So ten dollars, make no mistake about it. There's a 1632 01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:58,320 Speaker 13: great number. And if you're not making money at ten dollars, Andrew, 1633 01:20:58,439 --> 01:20:59,519 Speaker 13: you shouldn't be milking cow. 1634 01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:02,479 Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, exactly. And I have to say I'd been 1635 01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:05,320 Speaker 3: getting a bit depressed about things because of the price 1636 01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:07,280 Speaker 3: it was tracking down, and then you heard that the 1637 01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:10,439 Speaker 3: Chinese economy was tracking down and thought none of us 1638 01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:12,759 Speaker 3: is good. But as it turns out, they didn't actually 1639 01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:15,800 Speaker 3: maintain their domestic production and so we had to step 1640 01:21:15,800 --> 01:21:17,760 Speaker 3: in to help them out. So that is good, and 1641 01:21:17,800 --> 01:21:20,080 Speaker 3: so everything is good in the end. That's a good thing. 1642 01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:22,040 Speaker 13: Yeah, absolutely. 1643 01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:24,920 Speaker 3: Now what's a bad thing is we've had fewer lambs 1644 01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:26,040 Speaker 3: this spring. How come? 1645 01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:31,679 Speaker 13: Oh gee, well, where do I start trees? Pine trees 1646 01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:34,680 Speaker 13: in the weather might be one reason. So Beef and 1647 01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:37,040 Speaker 13: Lamb New Zealand have just put out their estimates and 1648 01:21:37,080 --> 01:21:39,600 Speaker 13: this is a forecast only at this stage for the 1649 01:21:39,680 --> 01:21:43,800 Speaker 13: lambing of twenty twenty four, and they're saying we were 1650 01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:46,840 Speaker 13: expecting a decrease in the number of lambs tailed or dock, 1651 01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:49,559 Speaker 13: depending on which island you're in, by one point one 1652 01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:52,800 Speaker 13: million head or five or five point two percent, which 1653 01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:56,439 Speaker 13: is a substantial drop really, bringing the total lamb crop 1654 01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:59,640 Speaker 13: to an estimated nineteen point two million. Now, you've got 1655 01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:03,200 Speaker 13: to remember Andrew in the early nineteen eighties when Muldoon 1656 01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:06,360 Speaker 13: was running rifle with us with his subsidies, and that 1657 01:22:06,479 --> 01:22:09,640 Speaker 13: we had seventeen million sheep in this country. Nowadays we 1658 01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:12,600 Speaker 13: only have about twenty three to twenty four million, and 1659 01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:16,759 Speaker 13: our lamb crop is nineteen point two million. A number 1660 01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:20,439 Speaker 13: of lambs available for export is even worse. It's down 1661 01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:25,000 Speaker 13: six point five percent for the whole season. But the 1662 01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:30,320 Speaker 13: good news is supply and demand, less lambs more demand. Effectively, 1663 01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:33,679 Speaker 13: early season farm gate prices for sheep meat have been 1664 01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:35,880 Speaker 13: quite a bit higher than last year. They're sitting on 1665 01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:38,040 Speaker 13: about eight bucks at the moment, which is good, could 1666 01:22:38,040 --> 01:22:40,960 Speaker 13: be better. They really need ten dollars and of course 1667 01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:44,080 Speaker 13: cattle prices remain strong there a record as well. So 1668 01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:48,880 Speaker 13: look all in all, Andrew farmers heading into Christmas apart 1669 01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:50,920 Speaker 13: from the weather and you can't do anything about that 1670 01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:52,679 Speaker 13: would have to be reasonably happy. 1671 01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:55,479 Speaker 3: Good stuff. Joey McKay for the Country The Country dot 1672 01:22:55,520 --> 01:22:58,280 Speaker 3: co dot m Z and it is now six twenty eight, 1673 01:22:58,760 --> 01:23:00,760 Speaker 3: so we've got some views on the way. Next we'll 1674 01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:04,840 Speaker 3: be talking to Barney Irvine about the much needed entergy 1675 01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:07,200 Speaker 3: reform that we really need in this country, and the 1676 01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:09,360 Speaker 3: Brady will be joining us as well, and with a 1677 01:23:09,360 --> 01:23:12,240 Speaker 3: bit of luck, we'll have Christopher Lux and Spotify rapped 1678 01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:15,479 Speaker 3: list what music does our Prime Minister listen to? And 1679 01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:18,400 Speaker 3: the last song will be my number one. 1680 01:23:19,720 --> 01:23:24,559 Speaker 1: Man quaching the numbers and getting the results. It's Andrew 1681 01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:28,400 Speaker 1: Dickens with the Business Hour thanks to my HR the 1682 01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:32,480 Speaker 1: HR Solution for Busy s Emmy's on news Talk Zippy. 1683 01:23:34,360 --> 01:23:34,639 Speaker 2: Today. 1684 01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:40,200 Speaker 3: I want you, I need you, hold God, dude. 1685 01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:41,799 Speaker 16: Take. 1686 01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:48,160 Speaker 2: The thing that I've got. 1687 01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:08,320 Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen, I present the new Zealand's most listened 1688 01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:12,000 Speaker 3: to song on Spotify over the past year. And he's 1689 01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:16,120 Speaker 3: a somewhat over fort twenty two year old man from Monroe, 1690 01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:19,719 Speaker 3: Washington by the name of Benson Boom who gets quite 1691 01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:22,360 Speaker 3: excited about beautiful things. But it's a good song. Guess what? 1692 01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:25,479 Speaker 3: Guess what? Yes, he was a contestant in American niol 1693 01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:29,639 Speaker 3: Did he win? You know? He actually withdrew voluntarily, that's right. 1694 01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:31,519 Speaker 3: He competed for a bit and then he pulled out. 1695 01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:35,040 Speaker 3: But obviously he's got the number one song on New Zealand. 1696 01:24:35,160 --> 01:24:37,640 Speaker 3: You wonder whether he walks around Munroe, Washington going, hey, 1697 01:24:37,720 --> 01:24:47,280 Speaker 3: guess what I the most listened to thing in New Zealand. 1698 01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:51,680 Speaker 3: I will down to thank you, thank you very much. 1699 01:24:51,800 --> 01:24:56,519 Speaker 3: I will run through Christopher Lackson's rapped list of Spotify songs. 1700 01:24:56,640 --> 01:24:59,720 Speaker 3: What songs did he listen to in twenty twenty four? 1701 01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:02,960 Speaker 3: All right, now, there's a call for urgent energy reform 1702 01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:08,679 Speaker 3: to avoid New Zealand's d industrialization. The Northern Infrastructure Forum, 1703 01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:11,240 Speaker 3: together with the Auckland Business Chamber, hosted an event I 1704 01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:13,559 Speaker 3: think was today to come up with some solutions to 1705 01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:16,320 Speaker 3: the huge cost of energy that is hurting Business and 1706 01:25:16,520 --> 01:25:21,519 Speaker 3: Barney Irvine. Barnie Irvine is the executive director at the 1707 01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:25,760 Speaker 3: Northern Infrastructure Forum and joins me. Now, hello, Barnie good Eden. 1708 01:25:26,840 --> 01:25:29,120 Speaker 3: What do you mean by New zealand'sd industrialization. 1709 01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:33,720 Speaker 11: Well, what it refers to is the fact that, I 1710 01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:39,320 Speaker 11: mean we're currently in a situation where where there's such 1711 01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:42,720 Speaker 11: a supply demand and balance and that as soon as 1712 01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:46,519 Speaker 11: the demand ramps up, the inevitable response is that we 1713 01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:54,000 Speaker 11: require businesses to reduce their demand to suppress demand, so 1714 01:25:54,040 --> 01:25:58,360 Speaker 11: that there they're doing less of what they do, or 1715 01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:04,960 Speaker 11: businesses are facing such high costs for energy that is 1716 01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:08,760 Speaker 11: in the case of og, fiber Solutions and others, they're 1717 01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:12,040 Speaker 11: shutting their doors and so it's it's and this comes 1718 01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:13,960 Speaker 11: an enormous cost. 1719 01:26:15,120 --> 01:26:17,360 Speaker 3: Yes, And as you say, it's supply and demand. And 1720 01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:19,960 Speaker 3: when you know the supply is not enough and the 1721 01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:23,320 Speaker 3: demands up there and the price goes up, it drives, 1722 01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:26,920 Speaker 3: It puts businesses out of business. So the question there economics, 1723 01:26:27,479 --> 01:26:29,880 Speaker 3: of course it is. So the question is how are 1724 01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:32,240 Speaker 3: we going to make the energy more affordable? So how 1725 01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:33,920 Speaker 3: are we going to make the energy more affordable? 1726 01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:39,719 Speaker 11: Yeah, well we we So we had about sixty sector 1727 01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:43,880 Speaker 11: leaders with us yesterday from from a right across the right, 1728 01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:50,120 Speaker 11: across the sector generators, retailers, transmission companies and and and 1729 01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:54,080 Speaker 11: investors and so obviously there's a lot of talk about 1730 01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:57,759 Speaker 11: the challenges the problems facing the sector, but big focus 1731 01:26:57,760 --> 01:26:59,760 Speaker 11: on solutions and so some of the themes that came 1732 01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:03,759 Speaker 11: through really clearly there where Okay, well, we we obviously 1733 01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:09,400 Speaker 11: really need to increase the security of supply. The need 1734 01:27:09,479 --> 01:27:14,040 Speaker 11: security supply through much more generation from renewables. There has 1735 01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:16,760 Speaker 11: to be the long term sort of objective, so we're 1736 01:27:16,760 --> 01:27:21,760 Speaker 11: not relying so heavily on hydro generation for both the 1737 01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:26,200 Speaker 11: base load and the peak. We can rely on hydro okay, so. 1738 01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:30,760 Speaker 3: Geo, thermal, geothermal, solar offshore and on shore. When that's 1739 01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:31,840 Speaker 3: the renewables, we've got the. 1740 01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:37,800 Speaker 12: Hydro exitro, yes, our hydro sort of we rely on 1741 01:27:37,920 --> 01:27:41,320 Speaker 12: hydro to function as a battery to deliver that that 1742 01:27:41,520 --> 01:27:44,120 Speaker 12: to respond to the peak because if we're not, if 1743 01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:45,880 Speaker 12: we're not sort of putting such a. 1744 01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:50,280 Speaker 11: Load on on on hydro, it can perform that function. 1745 01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:53,600 Speaker 3: Really rely but hold of money, you do actually say that, 1746 01:27:53,640 --> 01:27:55,200 Speaker 3: but you do realize this is the week that a 1747 01:27:55,240 --> 01:27:56,559 Speaker 3: solar company went bust. 1748 01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:01,920 Speaker 11: Right, and so we would be relying just on solar 1749 01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:06,559 Speaker 11: wind as well geo thermal and and much more of 1750 01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:07,920 Speaker 11: all of us well. 1751 01:28:09,360 --> 01:28:11,800 Speaker 3: Plus And I understand what you're saying, but is it 1752 01:28:11,920 --> 01:28:15,880 Speaker 3: just is it? Is it? Is it a dream actualization? 1753 01:28:16,040 --> 01:28:16,320 Speaker 9: Really? 1754 01:28:16,479 --> 01:28:18,639 Speaker 3: You know, when we're having so many difficulties with solar 1755 01:28:18,880 --> 01:28:21,840 Speaker 3: where we have a limitation on geo thermal and where 1756 01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:23,600 Speaker 3: we have to spend an awful lot of money to 1757 01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:27,920 Speaker 3: stick there, to stick the the the ones in the 1758 01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:30,040 Speaker 3: in the in the air, to pick up the wind, 1759 01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:32,280 Speaker 3: you know, is this is this something that we could 1760 01:28:32,360 --> 01:28:34,200 Speaker 3: dream for? Is it actually achievable? 1761 01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:38,920 Speaker 11: Oh, it's certainly the view of the group of those 1762 01:28:38,960 --> 01:28:42,719 Speaker 11: gathered with us. Yes it is achievable. But the point 1763 01:28:42,760 --> 01:28:45,240 Speaker 11: is it has to be we have to come up 1764 01:28:45,280 --> 01:28:47,760 Speaker 11: with solutions for this because what we're dealing with at 1765 01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:53,080 Speaker 11: the moment just just you know, just just isn't sustainable. 1766 01:28:53,680 --> 01:28:56,400 Speaker 11: And yeah, that's right. And so look in terms of 1767 01:28:56,439 --> 01:29:00,280 Speaker 11: some of those initiatives, we need to we need to 1768 01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:02,840 Speaker 11: get more new entrants coming into into the market. So 1769 01:29:02,880 --> 01:29:05,679 Speaker 11: there's some obvious tools we can use there in terms 1770 01:29:05,720 --> 01:29:10,280 Speaker 11: of that. The way pricing contracts are structured, there are 1771 01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:14,320 Speaker 11: some some obvious opportunities there in detail of those that 1772 01:29:14,760 --> 01:29:17,719 Speaker 11: we need much better stewardship leadership of the sector. 1773 01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:22,240 Speaker 3: Can ask your questions here we go. You want a 1774 01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:23,200 Speaker 3: single regulator? 1775 01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:29,200 Speaker 11: Why to have a clear leadership of the of the sector. 1776 01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:33,440 Speaker 11: At the moment it's disaggregated across a range of agencies 1777 01:29:33,439 --> 01:29:36,439 Speaker 11: and there just isn't clear leadership. We need a single 1778 01:29:36,439 --> 01:29:38,160 Speaker 11: agency with accountability. 1779 01:29:38,439 --> 01:29:41,599 Speaker 3: You want to develop it, yes, and that's good, a. 1780 01:29:41,560 --> 01:29:44,920 Speaker 11: Proper, proper plan for the sector. And look at that. 1781 01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:48,040 Speaker 11: The last point, really critically is that there has to 1782 01:29:48,080 --> 01:29:51,160 Speaker 11: be some sort of of market reform. And that's getting 1783 01:29:51,240 --> 01:29:55,360 Speaker 11: to that. You know, the gent tailor structure. There needs 1784 01:29:55,400 --> 01:30:00,479 Speaker 11: to be some sort of separation of that generate in 1785 01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:03,519 Speaker 11: retail function. Now that could be that could be a 1786 01:30:03,560 --> 01:30:08,479 Speaker 11: structural separation along the lines of telcos, or it could 1787 01:30:08,479 --> 01:30:13,479 Speaker 11: be operational, you know, sort of keeping those companies the 1788 01:30:13,520 --> 01:30:17,519 Speaker 11: same company. But that's separating out those functions. And and look, 1789 01:30:17,960 --> 01:30:21,920 Speaker 11: even the oec D is starting to say that make 1790 01:30:21,960 --> 01:30:23,960 Speaker 11: the same sort of commentary about what needs of. 1791 01:30:23,880 --> 01:30:25,599 Speaker 3: Course, of course, and we'll be saying this for a while. 1792 01:30:25,640 --> 01:30:27,880 Speaker 3: And what we've wondered is, you know, there's no plans 1793 01:30:27,880 --> 01:30:30,800 Speaker 3: for for for hydro, there is no plan or there's 1794 01:30:30,840 --> 01:30:33,479 Speaker 3: some plans for renewables, but there hasn't been enough from 1795 01:30:33,520 --> 01:30:37,120 Speaker 3: a number of administrations of all sides.

Do we have enough 1932 01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:06,840 Speaker 3: time to talk about the great Guinness drought of twenty 1933 01:38:06,880 --> 01:38:07,360 Speaker 3: twenty four. 1934 01:38:07,360 --> 01:38:10,360 Speaker 5: Well, honestly, I don't know if this is a genius 1935 01:38:10,400 --> 01:38:12,719 Speaker 5: marketing strategy to put out a press release and brief 1936 01:38:12,760 --> 01:38:15,080 Speaker 5: the media that they might run out of Guinness this Christmas, 1937 01:38:15,120 --> 01:38:18,080 Speaker 5: but that is apparently what's happening.
