1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: The only drive show you can try the truck to 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 1: ask the questions, you get the answers, find a fact 3 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:11,720 Speaker 1: sack and give the analysis. Heather duplicy Ellen Drive with 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: One New Zealand and the power of satellite mobile news dogs. 5 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 2: That'd be. 6 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 3: Afternoon, Welcome to the show. Coming up today. The new 7 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,439 Speaker 3: Reserve Bank governor on her first rates decision. She's with 8 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 3: us after five Fletcher Building on their first operating profit 9 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 3: in years, and David Seymour on Farmac funding blood cancer drugs. 10 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 2: Heather duplicy Ellen. 11 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 3: So we've had the first monetary policy decision from the 12 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,599 Speaker 3: new Reserve Bank governor. And it's not really until you've 13 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 3: got a new captain in charge that you realize just 14 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 3: how little confidence you had left in the last lot. 15 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 3: I mean, look, it's, let's be fair, it's early days 16 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 3: for Anna Bremen. We will judge her by what she 17 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 3: does from here on in. But she does start with 18 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 3: a clean slate without us reading into her decision and 19 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 3: second guessing everything because of a poor track record, and 20 00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 3: that I would say is at absolutely welcome change from 21 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 3: just a few weeks ago before she took the helm. 22 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 3: Her take is that inflation is fine, yeah, it's sitting 23 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 3: a little high at the moment, three point one. That's 24 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 3: outside the target band, but it will fall back within 25 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 3: the band by this time next year. The economy is improving. 26 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 3: The green shoots that were previously limited to the regions 27 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 3: and certain industries are becoming more widespread. Households are getting 28 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 3: more money in their pockets, but they still are cautious, 29 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 3: and that's a problem because unless they're confident enough to spend, 30 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 3: they will hold back the economic recovery from what it 31 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 3: could could potentially be. But and this is probably the 32 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 3: bit that you've been the most interested in been waiting for, 33 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 3: they will start raising the ocr faster than we thought 34 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 3: so Previously they had the official cash rate projection going 35 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 3: from two point two percent in March to two point 36 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 3: three percent in December. That's now come forward. It's now 37 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 3: two point three percent in June and two point four 38 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 3: percent in December. In their predictions, the first hike will 39 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 3: still most likely be in December, but the chances of 40 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 3: it being in September just went up. It's not a 41 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 3: major concern, it's it's not a major correction. It's not 42 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,639 Speaker 3: really a game changer for anyone, but it is bringing 43 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 3: the inevitable closer. Still for now, it's nice to have 44 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 3: a change at the top, isn't it. And here's hoping 45 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,399 Speaker 3: this governor does a better job than the last one. 46 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 2: Heather do for Sea Ellen. 47 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 3: Nineteen ninetwo is the text number, standard text fees apply 48 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,239 Speaker 3: and A Bremen is with us after five o'clock Now, 49 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 3: Northland's third fatal dog attack in four years is creating 50 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 3: urgency around the need for animal control. A woman was 51 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 3: more to death at a home in Kaihu yesterday. Shane 52 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 3: Jones was on Radio New Zealand this morning saying severe 53 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 3: jail terms should be considered for owners of dangerous dogs. 54 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 4: The dogs are lethal, the dogs are homicidal, but what's 55 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,119 Speaker 4: really feral is the character of the owners. If your 56 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 4: level of negligence is such that someone has died, then sorry, 57 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 4: you're going to face the consequences. 58 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 3: MP for Northland Grant Mcallum's with us, helogram get afternoon, Heather, 59 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 3: Oh what's your plan? 60 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 5: What's my plan? 61 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 6: Well, initially I'm going to want to catch up with 62 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 6: the local councils, the mayors and say to the right team, 63 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 6: where are we at, what are we doing to We 64 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 6: have to address this issue in the short term, whether 65 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 6: it's more enforcement officers or whatever. 66 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 5: But fundamentally I'm there. 67 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 6: To actually highlight to say, right, what do we need 68 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 6: to do to address this issue? Is becoming far too 69 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 6: common unfortunately in the North and are not in other 70 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 6: parts of the country as well, and we've got to 71 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 6: look what the government can do to assist our councils 72 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 6: in terms of there's any law reform required or regulations 73 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 6: changes to get outcomes as quite frankly, it's just not 74 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 6: acceptable and there are some things we can look at doing. 75 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 3: Is it true that there are people in Ahipater who 76 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 3: have to arm themselves with sticks to fend off roaming dogs? 77 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 6: That would I would suspect that's highly like to be 78 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 6: the case, and that is wrong, and this is why 79 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 6: we need to actually we need as a community take 80 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 6: ownership of this. 81 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 5: Councils need to really get on and. 82 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 6: Do their job, which is to enforce the regulations as 83 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 6: they are. But I just think that also we've got 84 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 6: too many dogs out there and. 85 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 5: You have to question some of the breeds. 86 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 6: So the question becomes do we look at a stronger 87 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 6: desexing policy and going forward and also some of the 88 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 6: breeds are these dogs? Do we are there some breeds 89 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 6: that we just don't need it? 90 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 7: Okay? 91 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 3: How has it go? What is councils supposed to do 92 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 3: if you've got roaming dogs in Archipata? What are they 93 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 3: supposed to do with those dogs? 94 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 5: They're supposed to pick them up and take them to 95 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 5: the pound. 96 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 6: And if that is a good question, and that is 97 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 6: what I want to discuss with the councils because ultimately, 98 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 6: this is if it's a resourcing issue. Ultimately there's a 99 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 6: choice issue that the councils have to make about resourcing up. 100 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 3: Okay, but here's the other question. Why is it that 101 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 3: apparently animal control went round to this woman's house because 102 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 3: they'd been warned about these dogs and the dogs were 103 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 3: still there. 104 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,239 Speaker 5: Those are very good questions. 105 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 6: I just gotta be careful in this in this case 106 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 6: because I understand there is a police investigation, so I 107 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 6: just want to I think we just just packed that 108 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 6: to one side at the moment. But in general terms, 109 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 6: if a dangerous dog are identified, then I would expect 110 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 6: that the council officers would be doing their job and 111 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 6: do something about that. 112 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 5: What we need to look at it. 113 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 3: Okay, how far are you prepared to take this grant, 114 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 3: What do you want to happen? Like, let's say you've 115 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 3: got roaming dogs in ar HIPAA. What should happen to 116 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 3: those dogs? 117 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 6: Well, they should be picked they should be picked up 118 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 6: and taken to the pound. And then if there's a 119 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 6: point and and ultimately they if they if they're dangerous 120 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 6: dogs and or no owners coming forward to take them 121 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 6: own them, because obviously quite often they're not registered, then 122 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 6: the ultimately they'll be put down. Okay, just that is 123 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 6: just the life of the unfortunate outcomes. But we can't 124 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 6: and but ultimately too we need to then look at 125 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 6: the owners of some of these animals and say, come on, 126 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 6: this is not good enough. And and people need individuals 127 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 6: need to be how to account for the way they 128 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 6: look after these animals. 129 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 3: Okay, what and what would you like to have? What 130 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 3: what rules would you like to change so that animal 131 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 3: can control control can go to a place like this 132 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 3: woman's house. See a whole bunch of pit bulls that 133 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,239 Speaker 3: are causing problems chasing people up and down the street. 134 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 3: What should they be able to do in that instance? 135 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 6: Well, if these I wont talk about the specific case, 136 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 6: but in terms of general. 137 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 5: Generally speaking, if you go to a property. 138 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 6: And there are dangerous dogs and not being looked after 139 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 6: and being aggressive, then ultimately they need to be able 140 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 6: to take them, take them into the pound, and ultimately 141 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 6: if they if the dogs are shown to be dangerous, 142 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 6: then they should probably be put down because we do 143 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 6: not need dogs like this in our society, that is 144 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 6: for sure, because unfortunately, when people got to the point 145 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 6: where individuals are being are being killed or mamed, it's 146 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 6: just not acceptable I think. 147 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 3: I mean, would you agree that whatever happens next, there 148 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 3: needs to be a tightening up of the rules because 149 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 3: it is like it seems to me the councils are 150 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 3: trying their absolute hardest, but they just they haven't got 151 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 3: the rules on their side. They can't really do what 152 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 3: they need to do. 153 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 5: And in some cases that may well be the case. 154 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 6: So A's why we are very focused as a government 155 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 6: saying yes and I'm I'm going to certainly put some 156 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 6: submissions into this to the minister, so we need to 157 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 6: relook at this and I know he's open to that. 158 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 6: So what do we need to do to allow the 159 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 6: counselors to do to take the do they do a 160 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 6: better job but ultimately it might still come down to 161 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 6: resourcing for those councils to actually say, right, this is 162 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 6: a priority, we've got to own it. 163 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, good stuff. Hey listen, Grant. Now, by the way, 164 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 3: where Simon ore Simon's overseas, isn't he? 165 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 6: Yes, he's over at the he's doing climate change stuff overseas. 166 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 3: Here though, Oh lord, I bet you'd rather be back 167 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 3: here dealing with the dogs. Grant, thank you, mate, look 168 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 3: after yourself. That's Grant McCallum, MP for Northland. Simon is, 169 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 3: of course Simon Watts, who is the Minister for Local Government. 170 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 3: Because these rules that need to change at the local 171 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 3: government level so we can start shooting the dogs basically. Anyway, 172 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 3: we'll come back to this shortly.

Even though I predicted that 195 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 3: Matt Winaret would have to go, it is still something 196 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 3: of a surprise to see him actually do it. 197 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 8: I love the way he joined me on Sports Thought 198 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 8: last night. Haven't heard boo from him. Decides to go 199 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 8: get on the line and the you go the information 200 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 8: was out there, so I've been good on for doing it, 201 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 8: but I do feel like there was no way out. 202 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 8: What I'm what I find amusing him at this whole 203 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 8: situation is it started off about a year ago, right 204 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 8: with Noline Tatua getting into a bit of strife, and 205 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 8: suddenly there were people being stepped down and moved. There 206 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,719 Speaker 8: was no comment, there was nothing going on accusations of 207 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 8: the board being inadequate, incompetent. So what's happened in the 208 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 8: wash up? The coach is still there and the CEO 209 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 8: and the Chair of the board have both gone. Go 210 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 8: figure it could have been sorted out a lot quicker 211 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 8: and a lot earlier. Matt said last night that Yannie 212 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 8: had a couple of regrets. Indeed, he joined the host 213 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,719 Speaker 8: this morning as well to talk about it made the 214 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 8: right decision. Now it's a matter of aligning the new 215 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 8: chair of the board and the CEO. And they've got 216 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 8: Karen Smith who used to be the chair of the 217 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 8: board for New Zella Netball. She's assisting, she's aiding Netball 218 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 8: New Zealand in this proces. He has to find the 219 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 8: next board. 220 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 5: Who can op. 221 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 8: She's doing the board appointments well, no, No, she's she's 222 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 8: not doing the appointments herself, she's assisting the proceeds. She's 223 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 8: been eleven years on the board, she's a life member. 224 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 8: She's six years as the chair of the board and 225 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 8: spent five years as the VP of World Netble. So 226 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 8: she knows his stuff. So the fact that she's leaning 227 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 8: in and giving a bit of a hand, I think 228 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 8: it's good. She loves the game. She can't out myself 229 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:30,719 Speaker 8: right now. 230 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 3: The reason he had to go was because and I 231 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 3: feel bad for Mattenus because the guy's actually very very accomplished, 232 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 3: you know, to have to be dragged down by Netble 233 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 3: New Zealand at the last. But he was actually he 234 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 3: was the one who finally signed off, wasn't he? On 235 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 3: the way that they handled the Dame Noles situation. 236 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 8: He signed off on himself. What do you mean, Well, 237 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:50,559 Speaker 8: how do you mean by signed off? 238 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 3: So you know when they had that, when they stood 239 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 3: Dame Noles down and they that was the approach that took. 240 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 3: It went straight up to ball chair. He was the 241 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 3: one who went to absolutely go ahead with it, and 242 00:10:59,120 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 3: that is why he had to go. 243 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 8: I suppose when talked last night about the perceived lack 244 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 8: of communication. A lot of people really didn't know where 245 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 8: they stood and what was being done. And you talked, 246 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 8: we can't make too many statements because there's a lot 247 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 8: of legal process that were going to go through, but 248 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 8: I say, you have your time again, maybe be a 249 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 8: little clear, maybe a pair a little more, just to 250 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 8: comfort people know what's going on. 251 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 3: That it was probably the biggest balls up in public 252 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 3: of an eighth har situation, that of an employment situation 253 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 3: like it was massive. 254 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 8: Maybe if it's been a differently with Noel Lean at 255 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 8: the start and going, you know what, we're going to 256 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 8: talk to everybody at the same time. 257 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 3: Has Dame Nol's taken that job in Melbourne. 258 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 8: I don't know what I'm trying to get her on air, 259 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 8: but you know we'll get there eventually.

It's the architects of their own demise. 267 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 8: When you look at what happened, it was a washed 268 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 8: out match that eventually triggered it and kicked them out. 269 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 8: But you get beaten, buzz and babwe, what do you 270 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 8: expect You start leading it, leaving it in other people's hands. 271 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 8: Of course, trouble is going to happen. That's just the 272 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 8: nature of being alive. You involve anyone else in your process, 273 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:25,239 Speaker 8: chances are it'll fall apart.

But in other way is it was 376 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 16: very clear that the President has set some red lines 377 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 16: that the Iranian are not yet willing to actually acknowledge, 378 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 16: and work through. 379 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 3: Ukraine has started funding the freeze and the storage of 380 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 3: its soldiers sperm and eggs.

That's a direct quote, terrorizing the city 392 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 3: and in an inebriated state because he had been sober 393 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 3: for years but clearly isn't anymore. He apparently pulled the 394 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 3: classic do you know who I am? When he showed 395 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 3: up to a vow without a shirt or cash. 396 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, Peace of mind 397 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 1: for New Zealand business. 398 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 3: Dan Mitchinson, our US correspondent is with us. Hello Dan, Hi, 399 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 3: Hi Heather. So I imagine plenty of tributes for GC Jackson. 400 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 14: Yes, even from President Trump, who came out and called 401 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 14: him a force of nature like a few other before him. 402 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 14: And of course you have former President Barack Obama who 403 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 14: described him as a true gent And I mean, this 404 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 14: guy was a very big figure in activism here in 405 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 14: the US and around the world. He made some high 406 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 14: profile international mediation efforts. He ran for president twice in 407 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 14: eighty four and eighty eight. And there was also controversy 408 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 14: around him his association with those Farakahn. He had scrutiny 409 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 14: for an extra marital affair. There was financial mismanagement of 410 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 14: his organization too, But he was still a force to 411 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 14: be reckoned with within the Democratic Party. 412 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 3: So what is it that did he have Alzheimer's? 413 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 4: Did he? 414 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 14: Yes, he had been suffering from a neurological disease four 415 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,919 Speaker 14: for some time right now. He came out without a 416 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 14: few years back and just had not been doing very 417 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 14: well and kind of kept out of the limelight. I mean, 418 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 14: his family sort of kept the public up to date 419 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 14: from time to time. But yeah, it was just it 420 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 14: was just a neurological issue that had sort of taken 421 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 14: him in the end. 422 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 3: Okay, now what have we got from the Iran talks? 423 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 2: Well, like you were saying on the on the world wires. 424 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 14: I think Iran's foreign minister is adopting a little bit 425 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 14: of a different tone. I think there is a little 426 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 14: optimism about the talks. He's saying that a new window 427 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 14: is open. I think jd Vance thinks that there's still 428 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 14: a lot more work to go. And of course the 429 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 14: President scrapped an earlier agreement during his first term with Iran, 430 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 14: and now he's continuing to threaten to use force to say, hey, 431 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 14: you got to agree to this, this plan, you have 432 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 14: to constrain your nuclear program. Iran says, well, okay, you 433 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 14: keep pushing us, We're going to push back with an. 434 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 2: Attack of our own. 435 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,880 Speaker 14: So it's it's really sort of up in the air, 436 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 14: I still think at this moment. And then Iran announced 437 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 14: earlier today that they're they're closing the straight of or 438 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 14: moves for live fire drills. I think they're saying, but 439 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 14: you know what you have to think about here is 440 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 14: twenty percent of the world's oil passes through this area. 441 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 2: That's a lot. 442 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,439 Speaker 14: So there's a lot of people saying, well, you need 443 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 14: that back open, and I think they're a little on 444 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:14,199 Speaker 14: edge about that. 445 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 3: Now, are we actually expecting anything from the Ukraine talks? 446 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 14: I don't know, honestly, I think we're going to get 447 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 14: something out of that. It'd be nice. I know Donald 448 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 14: Trump would certainly like something like that. I know Ukraine 449 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 14: would certainly like something as we're approaching the anniversary of 450 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 14: that war. But it still feels like there's a lot 451 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 14: to work out behind the scenes, despite what they're saying 452 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 14: to the press. 453 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, certainly does. Okay, I'm guessing that a sleep sleep 454 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 3: cation is a thing that you do when you've been 455 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 3: working your butt off all yet you stop working. You 456 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 3: just sleep to catch up on it. Is that about it? 457 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 14: That is my kind of vacation. Yes, I mean, you 458 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 14: don't want to hike, you don't want to go to 459 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 14: the beach. People are paying thousands of dollars to fly 460 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 14: across the country here in the US. They check into 461 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 14: these high end hotels and they just sleep. And the 462 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,199 Speaker 14: Wall Street Journal is saying that these luxury hotels are 463 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 14: now offering sleep suites that are equipped with AI powered 464 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 14: beds and soundproofing, and some of these rooms can cost 465 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 14: something like a thousand dollars a night. I mean, think 466 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 14: about that, You're paying a mortgage payment to stay in 467 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 14: a hotel room where the goal is to keep your 468 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 14: eyes closed so you don't even you know, see. 469 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 3: What how much sleeping are these people doing? 470 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 14: I think it's just I think it's a burnout factor. 471 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 14: I think a lot of people are going to do that. 472 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,439 Speaker 14: And you're probably rolling your eyes right now. And I 473 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 14: think we all do a little bit. But and there 474 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 14: is there are there are skeptics out there because this 475 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 14: is a band aid, right, This is not a cure 476 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 14: if you're that exhausted that you need to spend three 477 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 14: days in a dark room in another time zone just 478 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 14: to feel human, just to catch up on your sleep. 479 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 14: Like they're saying, you don't have a travel problem, you 480 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 14: have a lifestyle. 481 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 3: There are so many questions that I have after talking 482 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 3: to you about this, Dan, thank you very much. Right 483 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 3: look after yourself, Dan Mitchinson, US correspondent. Why wouldn't you 484 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 3: just I mean, like, I get that you might need 485 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 3: to get out of your house. If you've got kids, 486 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 3: maybe go catch up on sleep for a weekend. Weird, 487 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 3: but like whatever, you want to catch up on sleep 488 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 3: for a weekend, but surely you just do it in 489 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 3: your own city rather than flying somewhere else. Because if 490 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 3: you're going to take yourself somewhere else. It doesn't matter 491 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 3: if it's in another city or your own city. If 492 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 3: you're just going to sleep eighteen away from five. 493 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 2: Heather do for see Allen. 494 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 3: Zah, Hey, I have very exciting news for you.

Like surely 508 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 3: the guys in the office were telling me Western Springs 509 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 3: capacity is properly they estimate about thirty five thousand at 510 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 3: the moment, whereas I think isn't Eden Park's capacity like 511 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 3: fifty to fifty five thousand. So surely if you're going 512 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 3: to try to get an absolute bang for your buck 513 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 3: that you can from one concert, if you're the Food Fighters, 514 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 3: you're going there. But anyway, whatever, different very different band, 515 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 3: very different band from last time they were here. Of 516 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 3: course we have to remember because Taylor Hawkins has died 517 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 3: the drummer and Dave Grohl is now a dirty cheeterh 518 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 3: So you're going to the Food Fighters like you don't 519 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 3: love them the same way that you did before. Like 520 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 3: it's definitely there's going to be some angst in watching them, 521 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 3: isn't it. You're gonna go along, you're gonna have a 522 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 3: good time, but you are going to be like you dirty, 523 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 3: you let us down, Dave, you let us down. Anyway, 524 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 3: we still have to go. But what this is is 525 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 3: something of a coup for Takaha, isn't it? The christ 526 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 3: Church Stadium They are cutting the lunch of the full 527 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 3: siinth bar Stadium in Dunedin because they've got this. They've 528 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 3: got the super Rugby, they've got the symphony with the 529 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 3: six sixties. We have a chat to them about that 530 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 3: in half an hour seventeen away from five. 531 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: For politics, with centrics credit, check your customers and get payments. 532 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 3: A new Reserve Bank governor and a Bremen. Bremen is 533 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 3: with us after five o'clock. Right now, it's fourteen away 534 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 3: from five and Barry Sofa, senior political correspondence here High Barry, 535 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 3: Good afternoon, Heaven. It's quite noisy in the debating chamber. 536 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 5: Was it well? 537 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 13: I think we can expect a lot more of this 538 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 13: this year, being election year. And it was a point 539 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 13: that was made as you'll hear from the audio by 540 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 13: Jerry Browne at the end. But the economy in the 541 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 13: cost of living is locked in to be to being 542 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,439 Speaker 13: the width that labor uses to lash the government with. 543 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 13: But the Prime Minister was having none of it. Today. 544 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 13: Here are the two chrises going for it this afternoon. 545 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 17: The economic vandalism of the last mob who didn't understand 546 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 17: the economy at all. You ran this country into it 547 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 17: whole economically. You've got no economic credibility. Look at that 548 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 17: front bench. I wouldn't employ any of them in a 549 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 17: lower middle management job. 550 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 18: If he didn't intend to lower gross prices when he 551 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 18: became Prime minister, why did both he and Nikola Willis 552 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 18: advertise across the country that they intended to lower grocery 553 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 18: prices for New Zealanders. 554 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 17: I don't know why you bother coming to this house 555 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 17: every day to ask me questions on the economy. 556 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 3: You are the guy that took the keys to the car. 557 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 17: You crashed it in an almighty ditch. You stuffed the economy, 558 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:23,360 Speaker 17: and we're fixing it up. 559 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 5: We had a. 560 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 7: Perfect demonstration for anyone watching this stuff to know that 561 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 7: it is election here and tensions and arguments tend to heighten, 562 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 7: but behavior should not detere out. 563 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 3: How well I think he's wish it from the Prime Minister. 564 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 13: Yes, well, yes, he's certainly fired up. And because certainly 565 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 13: Chris Hopkins has been banging on about this, the cost 566 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 13: of living, the cost of groceries, and you know it'll 567 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 13: run out of steam, there's no doubt about it. But 568 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 13: obviously it's fueling the Prime Minister. 569 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, good, okay, Well listen, I'm fascinated by this. Is 570 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 3: this referend in that New Zealand first once a binding referendum. 571 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 13: It's a binding referendum. They've got a bill ready to go. 572 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,360 Speaker 13: So Winston is saying there's no point in waiting for this. 573 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 13: You know, the party's are big parties. He clearly wants 574 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 13: their support. Unfortunately for Winston this will go into the 575 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,719 Speaker 13: biscuit and it may well be drawn before the election. 576 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 13: But the difficulty is going to get to get them 577 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 13: on board. It penalizes Labor getting rid of the Maldi 578 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 13: seats because traditionally they've always gone to Labor. They're not 579 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 13: there at the moment, but they've always been a sure 580 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 13: six to seven seats to. 581 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 3: The Labor purchase still comes out of their list position. 582 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 13: Well, yes it does, but it's a constituency position, so 583 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 13: it's and there's still you know, there's list votes there 584 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 13: as well, so you know, I think the disadvantage to 585 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 13: Labor is greater than it is the National But Winston 586 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 13: Peters was on his feet in Parliament this afternoon decrying 587 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 13: the Maldi seats, urging his colleagues to show courage and 588 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 13: vote with his bill and test the public on the 589 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 13: topic later this year. 590 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 19: They want a separate parliament, separate laws, separate land. They 591 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,439 Speaker 19: hold the majority of the Mara seats and do not 592 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 19: turn up to Parliament, disregard the rules and processes, and 593 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 19: shall understand for the system that gives them the seats. 594 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 2: They hold. 595 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 19: They represent no one. They have proven the seats they 596 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,360 Speaker 19: hold are no longer relevant nor serve their original purpose. 597 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 19: With the current Mari seattholders showing how much of a 598 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 19: mess they are in, it's proven that the time has 599 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 19: come for the public to decide if they are effect 600 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 19: development and if they are needed. The fact as we 601 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 19: currently have a record number of Mari in Parliament and 602 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 19: in cabinet and here comes this new breed know nothing 603 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 19: about the MraY world. They are not for the Mara people. 604 00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 19: They are not for the people of this country. They 605 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 19: are for eforism and division and they stream racism. They 606 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 19: stream racism. It is their policy. Oh and just to 607 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 19: make sure that's not glad enough, they're communists as well, 608 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 19: thank you very much. 609 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 13: So sort of digging the old forward and then twisting 610 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,919 Speaker 13: it at the end. There but one person who was 611 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 13: there today from the Maldi party was the co leader 612 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 13: Rivalry Waiter team, who was rather confident about the role 613 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 13: his party will have after this year's election in November. 614 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 20: The Maori seats are in one of the most powerful 615 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 20: positions it has ever been. It has ever been, and 616 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 20: that frightens people like Winston Peters in New Zealand Fish 617 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 20: Mary stured so fast in the last five years to 618 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 20: give the power that they had and to realize the 619 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 20: power that we have in regards to determining who the 620 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 20: next prime ministers come November the seventh. 621 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 2: That's just the reality. So my fingu is to this 622 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 2: house national. 623 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 20: Rule it out, labor rule it out, and let's get 624 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 20: this rubbish out of this house and ensure that the 625 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 20: rights of TeV Maori under tutility. 626 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 5: Await tonguy are in trench. 627 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 13: Well, I think you know he's probably done the case 628 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 13: or strengthen the case for getting rid of the Mari seats. 629 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 13: I mean, you'll have to look at their party at 630 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 13: the moment to see how ineffective it has been. 631 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 3: Totally with you, all right, official cash right to state 632 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 3: where it is. 633 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 13: Yes, it's interesting, isn't it? Two point twenty five percent? 634 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 13: You know the inflation rate is now what the last 635 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 13: figure was three point one percent. Now that's just outside 636 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 13: the Reserve Bank's margin the target that they aim for. 637 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 13: And the new governor says that she will be laser 638 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 13: focused on inflation. So that's why they've left it where 639 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 13: it is to see what happens. But they are expecting 640 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 13: things to get better, which is positive. And I know 641 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 13: you're talking to her shortly that you know she's done. 642 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 13: I think the right thing today. 643 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 3: Brilliant Barry, thanks very much, appreciate it's very sober, Senior 644 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 3: political correspondent, eight to away from five. Here the Kurdos 645 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 3: to Winston for telling it like it is. He's the 646 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 3: only one with the Kernis to do it. Well, yeah, 647 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 3: okay maybe, but that's all he did. He just told 648 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 3: it like he is. He's not actually doing anything about it. 649 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 3: What did I say to you the other day. Unless 650 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 3: it's a bottom line from these guys at the moment, 651 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 3: don't count it as something that's necessarily going to happen, 652 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,959 Speaker 3: because a whole bunch of stuff that they campaigned on 653 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 3: in twenty three hasn't happened. And so unless they say 654 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 3: it is definitely going to happen and they're not going 655 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 3: into coalition unless it happens, I would say you should 656 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 3: treat it with They're like, maybe it will happen, maybe 657 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 3: it won't. It'll depend on what when he's feeling like 658 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 3: on the day. Five away from five. Not to say 659 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 3: it's a bad idea. I think it's a great idea. 660 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 3: I think it's time that these seats get scrapped. Actually, 661 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 3: now Mount Vactannel and Wellington, there was a little bit 662 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 3: of whooh about this. People got a bit wooh freaked 663 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 3: out about the old Mount Victunel and Wellington today because 664 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 3: Chris Biship made some comments earlier today suggesting he might 665 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 3: be rethinking the tunnel, and because of what came out 666 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 3: from the Infrastructure Commission yesterday saying maybe don't build all 667 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 3: the roads and don't do all the roading projects and 668 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 3: maybe instead rely on some congestion charging because that will 669 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 3: fix some of the traffic problems by basically getting people 670 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 3: off the roads. And so bish was asked about it 671 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 3: and he suggested, yeah, he's gonna think about what the 672 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 3: congestion charging may do and how it will impact the 673 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 3: mountfac Tunnel. And of course we all looked at that 674 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 3: and went, oh, dear God, they're canceling the tunnel, which 675 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 3: would be a surprise because they campaigned on it. Frankly, 676 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 3: have you seen Wellington and how badly it needs the tunnel. 677 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 3: But also I thought they'd basically started doing the work anyway, 678 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 3: Finance ministers already come out and said don't worry about it. 679 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 3: It's going to happen. It's all go on it. So 680 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 3: if you were just for one little hot minute freaking 681 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 3: out about it, it sounds like you can calm down on 682 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 3: the rugby. Apparently you need to circle the second week 683 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 3: of March, so round about three weeks a month from now, 684 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 3: that apparently is when the announcement of the new head 685 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 3: coach for the All Blacks is going to be made. 686 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 3: And if you aren't of a Jamie Joseph Dave Rennie 687 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 3: super team to coach the All Blacks, you basically need 688 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 3: to get rid of that one altogether because there is 689 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 3: apparently no chance whatsoever that the pair of them are 690 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 3: going to team up because apparently, and it's being reported 691 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 3: that apparently both of them are completely set on being 692 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 3: the next All Blacks head coach and they're not going 693 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 3: to take being the playing second fiddle to the other one. 694 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 3: And so it's one or the other. You get Jamie 695 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 3: or you get you get jam And why are we 696 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 3: pretending that Dave is in the running for this. You're 697 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 3: going to get Jamie Joseph and Dave Rennie is not 698 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 3: going to be his second. Let's see, this is an 699 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 3: official prediction. Let's see if we get this one right, 700 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 3: Jamie Joseph the whole way anyway, The new Reserve Bank 701 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 3: Governor Anna Bremen is with us Next news tog. 702 00:32:37,520 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: ZB pressing the newsmakers to get the real story. It's 703 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: Heather Duper Clan drive with One New Zealand to coverage 704 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: like no one else Newsawk Savy, Good afternoon. 705 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 3: The new Reserve Bank governors made her first big call. 706 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 3: Anna Bremens kept the official cash rate at two point 707 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 3: two five percent, and she's with us now, Anna, Hello, Hi, 708 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 3: was there any consideration other than holding. 709 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 9: At this meeting? There was really full consensus on holding 710 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 9: the OCR at this time. 711 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 3: So how long are you prepared to tolerate inflation being 712 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 3: outside the band? 713 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 9: Well, we always look to exactly why it's inflation outside 714 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 9: of the band. We're not happy with being at three 715 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 9: point one percent. We think that it's too high, but 716 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 9: we can see that there was some temporary fact. Mainly 717 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 9: I'm going to be careful, see he's using the word temporary. 718 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 9: But we do feel very confident that inflation will fall 719 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 9: during twenty twenty six. So that's why we felt comfortable 720 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,319 Speaker 9: holding the OCR at this time. 721 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 3: What would be an indication to you that I'm not 722 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 3: saying that you've got it wrong, but you may have 723 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 3: got it wrong, and that in fact is stickier than 724 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 3: you think. Like, what's going to be the clue. 725 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,320 Speaker 9: Well, if we see inflation being higher than we expect 726 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 9: overcoming months and later during this year, then again it 727 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 9: will depend on exactly what is causing that. But we 728 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 9: are very focused on bringing inflation back to two percent, 729 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 9: the midpoint of our target band because we need to 730 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 9: see low and stable inflation. Again, we will not tolerate 731 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:44,879 Speaker 9: inflation outside of the target band. 732 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:49,399 Speaker 3: I am well, for how long though, Well. 733 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 9: It's always a question of exactly what it is driving inflation, 734 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 9: because we base our decisions on where we see inflation heading. 735 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 9: Our goal is really to have inflation at the midpoint 736 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,479 Speaker 9: of the target band or the medium terms. So if 737 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 9: because there's always there can always be temporary factors that 738 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,720 Speaker 9: pushes inflation very high or very low. So we always 739 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 9: look forward to where inflation is heading, but we do 740 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,839 Speaker 9: not you know, if it is too high for too long, 741 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,319 Speaker 9: then of course we'll have to act. 742 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 21: Now. 743 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 3: I see that you've been quoted as saying that you 744 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 3: don't want to upset the economic rebound. Is that strictly 745 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:26,879 Speaker 3: part of your job. 746 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 9: Well, what we're saying is that you know, at this time, 747 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 9: we believe that it is important to have a little 748 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 9: bit of an accommodative policy, which means that the ocr 749 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 9: is a little bit lower than it might be in 750 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:48,799 Speaker 9: the longer run. And that is because unless the economy rebounds, 751 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 9: we think that inflation may actually fall below the target. 752 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 9: Because if we look at inflation right now, if you 753 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 9: look at wage growth, if you look at core inflation, 754 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 9: we actually have inflation. Core inflation is firmly within the 755 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 9: target band, and that tends to be a better predictor 756 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 9: of where inflation is going than headline. So in that sense, 757 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 9: you know, we are comfortable that inflation will be a 758 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 9: target in the medium term. 759 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 3: Are you worried at all that households are still too 760 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 3: cautious about spending what money they may have. 761 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 9: Oh, I mean, I understand it, because you know, households 762 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 9: have some very tough years behind them. We've had weak 763 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,799 Speaker 9: growth we've had and we still have high unemployment. The 764 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 9: houses being cautious, I do understand that, but we and 765 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 9: we do understand that households will need to see some 766 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,720 Speaker 9: better purchasing power going forward and the stronger labor market. 767 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 9: But that if you look at the economic data right now, 768 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 9: we're getting some positive signals that the economy is starting 769 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 9: to grow, but we are saying also that we're at 770 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,320 Speaker 9: the early stages of the recovery. 771 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 3: Are you worried about the I mean recently, which maybe 772 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:04,360 Speaker 3: slightly before your tenure, but late last year, the major 773 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 3: banks started to raise the retail rates. Are you worried 774 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 3: about that at all? 775 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 9: We did discuss it because you know, we've seen that 776 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 9: mortgage rates have been going up and that is likely 777 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,879 Speaker 9: affecting households and how they see the outlook. We're also 778 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 9: seen that house prices have been not growing quite as 779 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:29,319 Speaker 9: we expected, so we do take that into consideration, and 780 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 9: we're seeing that, you know, compared to markets, we're seeing 781 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 9: the ocr being on hold for some time. And then 782 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,359 Speaker 9: we expect when the economy is getting stronger and we're 783 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,799 Speaker 9: expecting to see a bit more inflation or pressures data 784 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 9: out and we will start tightening. But right now we 785 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 9: are on hold. 786 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:47,719 Speaker 3: Tightening from December. 787 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 9: Well, you know, we don't say no exactly when because 788 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,719 Speaker 9: it will always we will adjust if we see any 789 00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 9: changes in the outlook, but we're saying that there is 790 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,319 Speaker 9: a probably allittered towards the end of the year of 791 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 9: a retake. 792 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 3: That's correct, and it's very good to talk to you. 793 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,279 Speaker 3: Thank you for your time. That's and a brim and 794 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 3: the Reserve Bank governor the new on twelve past. 795 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,280 Speaker 2: Five, heither due for cell. 796 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,440 Speaker 3: So some good news for Fletcher Building. It's posted a 797 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,239 Speaker 3: half year operating profit of forty five million dollars, which 798 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,719 Speaker 3: is up from last year's operating loss of eighty eight 799 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,319 Speaker 3: million dollars. The CEO, Andrew Reading is with us Hi 800 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 3: Andrew Hi. Still a net loss for the business of 801 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,160 Speaker 3: eleven million dollars. So how would you describe the business 802 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:30,879 Speaker 3: right now in the turnaround that you're doing. 803 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,799 Speaker 22: Oh, look, it's a journey that we're traveling and I 804 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,359 Speaker 22: think we're making good progress on it. The loss that 805 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 22: we recorded for the half of eleven million was after 806 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:48,320 Speaker 22: fifty six million dollars of significant items, So we actually 807 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:53,600 Speaker 22: posted a net operating profit of forty five million, which 808 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,840 Speaker 22: is the first time we've done that since June twenty 809 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 22: twenty three. 810 00:38:57,840 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 3: Still expecting a tough year this year. 811 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 22: Yes, Look, we the first two quarters this year were 812 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 22: very different. So the quarter one which was coming out 813 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,800 Speaker 22: of that, our financial year twenty twenty five was continue 814 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:15,920 Speaker 22: the downward trajectory, and then in October we saw things 815 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,359 Speaker 22: flatten out and November December started to pick up a bit. 816 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 22: But it's not bubbling. It is just getting better and 817 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 22: very bad. So we're not forecasting great times for our 818 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:32,279 Speaker 22: financial year twenty twenty six, and indeed think that the 819 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 22: calendar year twenty twenty seven is when things start moving. 820 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 22: All things are lined up and moving properly. 821 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 3: Now I see in terms of staff losses, you've already 822 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 3: cut about three hundred. Is more than three hundred hit 823 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,320 Speaker 3: off of staff. How many more are you planning to cut? 824 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,360 Speaker 22: Look, that's very difficult to say, because what we have 825 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 22: left is about four hundred and eleven. Of those, over 826 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 22: two hundred and fifty are involved in shared service type operations. 827 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 22: So there is a desire to get as much of 828 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,799 Speaker 22: our overhead into the business units as possible. But we'll 829 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,799 Speaker 22: try and pick up some efficiencies on the way as 830 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 22: we go through that. So it'd be very difficult to 831 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:10,719 Speaker 22: turn around to put any numbers on that. 832 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,920 Speaker 3: Has it been quite a significant problem in the business, 833 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,799 Speaker 3: just just way too much inefficiency. 834 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 22: Look, I think it's unfair to say way too much inefficiency, 835 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 22: because nobody comes to work to fail. But what we've 836 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:27,000 Speaker 22: had is some strategies that have driven cost. So for example, 837 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 22: we were at one stage going to turn around and 838 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 22: roll out of SAPI across the entire business, and we 839 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 22: had to rise off one hundred and fifty million dollars 840 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,279 Speaker 22: associated with that. But obviously if you're doing that sort 841 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 22: of exercise, you have the people involved to do it. 842 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,399 Speaker 22: So this is why since I've been here, we've taken 843 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,160 Speaker 22: it from seven hundred and nineteen down to four hut 844 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,719 Speaker 22: and eleven, because we've been changing some of those strategies 845 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:50,280 Speaker 22: that drove cost into the business. 846 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 3: Andrew, listen, thank you very much for time. It's good 847 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,800 Speaker 3: to talk to you.

Right now, it's twenty four past five. Now, 942 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,440 Speaker 3: can I suggest to you that we we are too 943 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,080 Speaker 3: squeamish about the fact that we need to kill dangerous dogs. 944 00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:05,960 Speaker 3: Shane Jones was on the radio this morning being interviewed 945 00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,560 Speaker 3: about the morning to death of that woman in Northland yesterday, 946 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,480 Speaker 3: and he said that we need to kill dangerous dogs 947 00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,759 Speaker 3: like his father's generation would do in Northland. They just 948 00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 3: shoot them. The interviewer did not want to talk about that. 949 00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,600 Speaker 3: He wanted to talk about other things like desexing the 950 00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,239 Speaker 3: dogs or punishing the owners. Shane Jones had to say 951 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,319 Speaker 3: about three or four times that dangerous dogs need to 952 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,560 Speaker 3: be killed before the interviewer would even acknowledge that he 953 00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,160 Speaker 3: had said that. And then after the interview came out 954 00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,720 Speaker 3: a news report with the headline severe jail terms needed 955 00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,719 Speaker 3: for owners of dogs. Shane Jones says, yeah, he did 956 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,399 Speaker 3: say that. He did say they need to go to jail. 957 00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,000 Speaker 3: He also said though, that we need to kill the dogs. 958 00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 4: Now. 959 00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,160 Speaker 3: I'm not ripping on anyone here because I think saying 960 00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:46,799 Speaker 3: that out loud is actually a very hard thing to 961 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,359 Speaker 3: do unless you have reached that conclusion yourself. But tell 962 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,840 Speaker 3: me you haven't reached that conclusion. Tell me Shane Jones 963 00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 3: is wrong. The dogs at this property in question apparently 964 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,919 Speaker 3: terrorized people passing by, according to a neighbor, and pack 965 00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,839 Speaker 3: attacked a neighbor's dog. Dog control had been called. They 966 00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,840 Speaker 3: visited the property, but the dogs were left there and 967 00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,880 Speaker 3: then the dogs killed their owner. Mid last year, a 968 00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:08,840 Speaker 3: girl was attacked in a park in Titani by a 969 00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,600 Speaker 3: roaming dog. The dog was seized and then it was 970 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:15,280 Speaker 3: released by the council dogs that attack should be killed. 971 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,920 Speaker 3: Last year in Auckland there were nearly six hundred reported 972 00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,560 Speaker 3: dog attacks. Only six dogs were killed. Now, I realize 973 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,560 Speaker 3: we love our pets very very much, and that's fair enough, 974 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,680 Speaker 3: but we need to get way tougher when dogs are 975 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,200 Speaker 3: dangerous or actually attack. We need to lower the bar 976 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,279 Speaker 3: right down on what we accept. But I suspect that 977 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 3: before we can get tougher, and before we do lower 978 00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:37,880 Speaker 3: that bar, we need to get way less squeamish and 979 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,440 Speaker 3: actually talk about it like it is a real option 980 00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:41,360 Speaker 3: to kill. 981 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:46,040 Speaker 2: These dogs ever due for see ellen n is. 982 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,120 Speaker 3: The text number on that one. Oh the Infrastructure Commission. 983 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,360 Speaker 3: Listen that idea yesterday of the nine dollar toll on 984 00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,879 Speaker 3: Auckland's Harbor Bridge and then whatever new bridge is also 985 00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:55,919 Speaker 3: built has gone down clearly like a cup of cold 986 00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,719 Speaker 3: sick for obvious reasons, were paid for the bridge, ready 987 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,680 Speaker 3: to pay for it again. The Infrastructure Commission has had 988 00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,640 Speaker 3: to come out today and clarify this. They've had to 989 00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:09,800 Speaker 3: say they haven't undertaken a detailed comparison of what actually 990 00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:13,280 Speaker 3: should be paid and by whom and how. They haven't 991 00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,960 Speaker 3: specifically recommended a toll. They just put an idea out there, 992 00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,520 Speaker 3: so just in case you. But this is maybe in 993 00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,879 Speaker 3: part because now there are calls from the Taxpayers Union 994 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,080 Speaker 3: for the government to rule out a bridge tax or 995 00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,000 Speaker 3: whatever it is. I mean, clearly it was just a 996 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:30,560 Speaker 3: spitballed idea, but whatever. Listen, can I suggest another thing 997 00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,839 Speaker 3: to you, which is that the Foo Fighters are, in 998 00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,600 Speaker 3: fact the greatest modern rock band, the greatest band of 999 00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:40,680 Speaker 3: their generation. I cannot. I've been racking my brain about 1000 00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,120 Speaker 3: this for days because myself and the four year old 1001 00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:45,360 Speaker 3: were listening to the Foo Fighters in the car the 1002 00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,760 Speaker 3: other day and I thought, is there a greater modern 1003 00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:49,840 Speaker 3: rock band than the Foo Fighters? They are the greatest, 1004 00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:51,759 Speaker 3: aren't they? So we had a look at it. They've 1005 00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,560 Speaker 3: got fifteen Grammy Awards. The only other band that comes 1006 00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:57,399 Speaker 3: even close to that is you two's got more right 1007 00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,520 Speaker 3: at twenty two Grammy Awards. But you two are of 1008 00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,400 Speaker 3: a different generation, and in the current generation, there is 1009 00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:06,359 Speaker 3: no other band that comes even close to fifteen Grammys. 1010 00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,080 Speaker 3: Not only that, but I would like to suggest to 1011 00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,600 Speaker 3: you that Dave Grohl has been given a raw deal 1012 00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,640 Speaker 3: in history because everybody raves about Kurt Cobain. But all 1013 00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:17,360 Speaker 3: Kurt Cobain ever did was write some sad songs and 1014 00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,479 Speaker 3: then sing them with a curtain of hair across his face. 1015 00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,360 Speaker 3: Like where he's been weirdly mythologized. Doesn't He's actually like 1016 00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,400 Speaker 3: he was good and he kind of captured the zeitgeist. 1017 00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,080 Speaker 3: But surely we have to accept that the number of 1018 00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,960 Speaker 3: bangers that Dave Grohl has put out, he is better, 1019 00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,319 Speaker 3: isn't he. I mean, this is not a this is 1020 00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,560 Speaker 3: not controversial thing to say, is it. Anyway? The Huddle's 1021 00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:37,960 Speaker 3: going to be with us shortly, we'll put it to them. 1022 00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:41,040 Speaker 3: Jack Tame and Tim Wilson will bear us. News is next. 1023 00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,360 Speaker 1: On your smart speaker, on the iHeart app, and in 1024 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,360 Speaker 1: your car on your drive home.

Controversial call at the end, they're 1036 00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:24,520 Speaker 3: mate twenty four away from six Now. Farmac is considering 1037 00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,319 Speaker 3: funding two new medicines for blood cancer. Neither of the 1038 00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,799 Speaker 3: treatments are a cure, but they will give sufferers more 1039 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:31,879 Speaker 3: years to live and they could be available as soon 1040 00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:34,880 Speaker 3: as May this year if Farmac says yes. David Seymour, 1041 00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,759 Speaker 3: Associate Health Minister responsible for Farmak, is with us. Hello, 1042 00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:41,440 Speaker 3: David hey ever. I mean we say Farmac's considering it, 1043 00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:42,920 Speaker 3: but it's obviously going to happen, isn't it. 1044 00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:44,560 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1045 00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:46,759 Speaker 24: I mean they do have to do their final sign off, 1046 00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:48,719 Speaker 24: but it's got to the point where they say they're 1047 00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:51,880 Speaker 24: proposing to fund it, which means that while they have 1048 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,719 Speaker 24: the final say, this will happen and there will be 1049 00:49:55,760 --> 00:50:00,359 Speaker 24: two new blood cancer medicines, and they will help an 1050 00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,840 Speaker 24: estimated eighty to ninety people every five years with what 1051 00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,400 Speaker 24: is quite a rare but brutal disorder. 1052 00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:09,719 Speaker 3: Are you guys public about what the cost of this is. 1053 00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:14,600 Speaker 24: We're not, simply because the people that are selling it 1054 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:18,359 Speaker 24: to FARMAC and FARMAC both have an incentive to keep 1055 00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:20,920 Speaker 24: it secret. I'd like to think we're getting a good 1056 00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,200 Speaker 24: deal and the vendors won't want the rest of the 1057 00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:24,320 Speaker 24: world to know what we're getting it. 1058 00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,440 Speaker 3: For now, I saw that you will. Also, Farmac will 1059 00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:30,080 Speaker 3: also allow people who are already paying for these drugs 1060 00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:33,439 Speaker 3: privately to be able to continue getting it privately, rather 1061 00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,160 Speaker 3: than having to stop what they're doing and go into 1062 00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:38,080 Speaker 3: the public system. This is common sense, isn't it. 1063 00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:39,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1064 00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,880 Speaker 24: I mean this is something that came from a street 1065 00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:46,000 Speaker 24: corner meeting two years ago in EPSOM, and I had 1066 00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,480 Speaker 24: a guy who was a patient say to me, this 1067 00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:52,279 Speaker 24: is ridiculous. Paid my taxes, paid for my farm, make 1068 00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,520 Speaker 24: medicines should I need them. I've also gone above that 1069 00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:59,080 Speaker 24: and paid for my own private health insurance. But I'm 1070 00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:02,719 Speaker 24: not eligible to at FARMAC funded cancer treatment in a 1071 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,879 Speaker 24: place like Canopy or a Southern Cross hospital or other 1072 00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:09,600 Speaker 24: private facility, and I couldn't fault the guy. He had 1073 00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:14,839 Speaker 24: a point. So we've actually changed that. Initially only if 1074 00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:20,080 Speaker 24: a new medicine is funded by FARMAC, but it's one 1075 00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:24,000 Speaker 24: that you're already paying for privately. So in the past 1076 00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,240 Speaker 24: FARMAC might start funding something that you've previously been paying 1077 00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:29,560 Speaker 24: for and you have to keep paying in a private setting. 1078 00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:32,720 Speaker 24: We'd like to get to the stage or I would 1079 00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,719 Speaker 24: like to get to the stage where all medicines that 1080 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:39,360 Speaker 24: are funded by FARMAC, if you have the administration done 1081 00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,120 Speaker 24: in a private hospital or cancer clinic, well, look, you 1082 00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:45,879 Speaker 24: paid your taxes, you deserve your medicine. That would put 1083 00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,080 Speaker 24: some extra cost onto PHARMAC. So we haven't gone all 1084 00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:51,120 Speaker 24: the way yet, but certainly, when these medicines are funded, 1085 00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:54,480 Speaker 24: anyone who's been privately funding them to date will be 1086 00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:59,160 Speaker 24: eligible to continue their treatment. But with public funding through FARMAC, 1087 00:51:59,520 --> 00:51:59,919 Speaker 24: how much. 1088 00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:02,000 Speaker 3: More expensive is it for them to continue doing it 1089 00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:03,840 Speaker 3: in a private hospital rather than publicly. 1090 00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:09,799 Speaker 24: Well, for the cost, the cost is the same, but 1091 00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,799 Speaker 24: the problem is that at the moment there are quite 1092 00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,520 Speaker 24: a lot of people getting treatment that they are paying 1093 00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,279 Speaker 24: for in order to get it done administered within a 1094 00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:22,320 Speaker 24: private hospital, which is their choice. If we paid for everything, 1095 00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:24,799 Speaker 24: then it would be tens of millions more off the 1096 00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:28,799 Speaker 24: pharmac budget, and that would constrain the amount of new 1097 00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,279 Speaker 24: medicines that we can fund, which we like doing. So 1098 00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:34,919 Speaker 24: that's the challenge. I think the right thing to do is, Look, 1099 00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,600 Speaker 24: you paid your taxes all your life. If you also 1100 00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:40,799 Speaker 24: pay for Southern Cross or private healthcare and you want 1101 00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,440 Speaker 24: to get it administered there, you should still get access 1102 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,640 Speaker 24: to your medicines. I think that's fair. But that doesn't 1103 00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,719 Speaker 24: mean that adjusting to that world is costless. And so 1104 00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,680 Speaker 24: we're going to We've taken one step. If it's funded, 1105 00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,880 Speaker 24: if it's newly funded while you're already getting it, then 1106 00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,840 Speaker 24: we will start funding it through pharmic but not for 1107 00:52:58,880 --> 00:52:59,560 Speaker 24: everything just. 1108 00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,000 Speaker 3: Yet, David, completely different subject. But this is the first 1109 00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:05,319 Speaker 3: time I've spoken to you since the Alery Levy thing. 1110 00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:09,120 Speaker 3: Are you guys going to you're going to support this levy? 1111 00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,800 Speaker 24: Yeah, it's a government policy. The ACT Party is signed 1112 00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:17,399 Speaker 24: up to support government policies. It's equally true that we 1113 00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:21,319 Speaker 24: are listening. There are people who are concerned about will 1114 00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:25,439 Speaker 24: this be effective at getting power prices down and will 1115 00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:28,839 Speaker 24: the cost of it actually mean that my power bill 1116 00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:33,200 Speaker 24: adds up higher. Now we can have that argument back 1117 00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:37,440 Speaker 24: and forth, but we're actively listening and we are open 1118 00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:41,600 Speaker 24: to the possibility that if there was another way to 1119 00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:44,759 Speaker 24: do it, then maybe we'd take a look at that. 1120 00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:46,160 Speaker 24: I think we should always be. 1121 00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,040 Speaker 3: Open to that there is another way to do it, though. 1122 00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:49,640 Speaker 3: The other way to do it is to sell down 1123 00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:51,799 Speaker 3: some of the government's stake in the retailers. 1124 00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:57,279 Speaker 24: Yep, So recycling just asking the simple question, do we 1125 00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,160 Speaker 24: need to own these shares in these power companies or 1126 00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:03,000 Speaker 24: would it be better to own a gas terminal so 1127 00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:05,000 Speaker 24: you can get gas in the dry years bring the 1128 00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:09,719 Speaker 24: electricity price down. Would that be smarter all together? I 1129 00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:12,040 Speaker 24: think that I think that very well might be true. 1130 00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:14,560 Speaker 24: So look, I'm just saying we're open. 1131 00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:17,799 Speaker 3: To you considering this. You are considering maybe pulling your 1132 00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:21,520 Speaker 3: support for the levee and putting your support behind asset recycling. 1133 00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,000 Speaker 24: No, no, I'm not saying that I'm not going to 1134 00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:27,520 Speaker 24: break from the government. We need a stable government. But 1135 00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:30,160 Speaker 24: I think it's fair to say that right across the 1136 00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:34,200 Speaker 24: government there's always the possibility that things will change. I mean, 1137 00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:39,120 Speaker 24: if you look at the Auckland planning issue that was 1138 00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:41,719 Speaker 24: obviously something the government signed up to. 1139 00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:45,240 Speaker 3: Your suggest the government, the government may in fact change 1140 00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,600 Speaker 3: its mind, the whole coalition may change its mind on 1141 00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:48,160 Speaker 3: the levee. 1142 00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:51,800 Speaker 24: Well, the Government's done that on a number of issues. 1143 00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,560 Speaker 24: So all I'm saying is that, you know, always listen 1144 00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:59,080 Speaker 24: and don't rule things out. But sitting here right now, 1145 00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,960 Speaker 24: I can tell you that the Government's made a commitment 1146 00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,120 Speaker 24: and the act Party keeps its commitments, all. 1147 00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:06,440 Speaker 3: Right, David, thanks very much, Really appreciate that, David Seamoman, 1148 00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:10,319 Speaker 3: it's the responsible FARMAC. Very interesting, isn't It might change 1149 00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:10,840 Speaker 3: the mind on it. 1150 00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:14,440 Speaker 1: Eighteen away from six the huddle with New Zealand Southeby's 1151 00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:18,080 Speaker 1: International Realty, a name you can trust locally and globally. 1152 00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,480 Speaker 3: On the Huddle of This is Evening, Tim Wilson, Maximum Institute, 1153 00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:22,360 Speaker 3: Jack Tame, host of Saturday Mornings in Q and A 1154 00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:22,960 Speaker 3: Hell are you too? 1155 00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:24,120 Speaker 5: Hey there? 1156 00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:24,880 Speaker 2: Coming right? 1157 00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:25,080 Speaker 23: Tim? 1158 00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:26,840 Speaker 3: What did you make of that first call from the 1159 00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:27,960 Speaker 3: new Reserve Bank governor? 1160 00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, Look, it's good to see that the rbn Z 1161 00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:35,279 Speaker 4: isn't overacting to that inflation figure. I was expected to 1162 00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:37,719 Speaker 4: come down to about two percent in the next twelve months, 1163 00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:39,600 Speaker 4: which is more good news. It's good for the government. 1164 00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:42,440 Speaker 4: Voters like low cash rates and here's the winning factor 1165 00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:44,719 Speaker 4: as well. I think this might thaw out the relationship 1166 00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:47,319 Speaker 4: between doctor Ola Bremen and Winston Peters. 1167 00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:50,680 Speaker 25: What did you think, Jack, Yeah, I thought, say it 1168 00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:53,239 Speaker 25: with a pretty straight bank no major surprises always good 1169 00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,919 Speaker 25: when there are no major surprises from a central bank. 1170 00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:59,279 Speaker 25: Having there are some pretty like some pretty noisy data 1171 00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:02,040 Speaker 25: points at the moment, whether it's the inflation figure, whether 1172 00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:04,520 Speaker 25: it's the recent unemployment data. You look at some of 1173 00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:06,920 Speaker 25: the business confidence sentiment that sort of seems slightly out 1174 00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:09,000 Speaker 25: of wat with some of the economic indicators at the moment. 1175 00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:11,959 Speaker 25: So I think, you know, keeping things pretty steady makes 1176 00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:14,000 Speaker 25: a lot of sense. It's going to be very intriguing 1177 00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:18,040 Speaker 25: to see how that the forecast of the projection forward 1178 00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:21,280 Speaker 25: change over the next few months, knowing now that the 1179 00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:25,520 Speaker 25: RBNZ is probably looking more likely than not to start 1180 00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:28,440 Speaker 25: raising rates at about election time, which could be very 1181 00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:29,799 Speaker 25: interesting and it will be a bit of a battle 1182 00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,879 Speaker 25: of the narratives. But yeah, today are pretty solid first 1183 00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:33,920 Speaker 25: out thing for the new government. 1184 00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:36,680 Speaker 3: Listen, remissive me not to get your take on what 1185 00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:38,960 Speaker 3: David Seymour just said, Tim, did it sound to you 1186 00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:42,279 Speaker 3: like there is just a bit of a possibility there 1187 00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:45,160 Speaker 3: that the entire coalition government may drop this idea of 1188 00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:45,920 Speaker 3: the gas levee. 1189 00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:47,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1190 00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:51,000 Speaker 4: I felt like he was having a bit both ways. 1191 00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:54,160 Speaker 4: So so I'm not I'm not quite sure that the 1192 00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,799 Speaker 4: coalition is going to do a U turn just yet. 1193 00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:01,520 Speaker 4: My understanding though, is that this this LNG plant won't 1194 00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:05,360 Speaker 4: necessarily lower domestic power prices. It's sort of insurance for 1195 00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,800 Speaker 4: those those years. I guess if there's more power available 1196 00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:12,399 Speaker 4: that might bring prices down, but it's pretty slow, slow walks. 1197 00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:14,680 Speaker 25: I think the argument is that they will will lower 1198 00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:19,200 Speaker 25: the prices relative to relying on a gas supply in 1199 00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:22,720 Speaker 25: New Zealand that is dwindling and potentially inconsistency, you know, 1200 00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:25,080 Speaker 25: so relative to the big surges that you saw in 1201 00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:27,360 Speaker 25: winter eighteen months ago. I think I think that's the 1202 00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:31,280 Speaker 25: argument at the moment. Look, Look, I think he was 1203 00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:33,920 Speaker 25: positioning himself to say, if there was a huge public 1204 00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:37,720 Speaker 25: backlash against the proposed levy, then the government might be 1205 00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:41,080 Speaker 25: forced to look at an alternative funding mechanism. I don't 1206 00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:43,720 Speaker 25: think from what we've seen so far, there is a 1207 00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:46,840 Speaker 25: sufficient public backlash, and I don't think the ACT Party 1208 00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:50,280 Speaker 25: would be willing to destabilize the government going into an 1209 00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:51,800 Speaker 25: election over that. 1210 00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:53,720 Speaker 3: On Jack, because we haven't seen any polling at all, have. 1211 00:57:53,720 --> 00:58:01,080 Speaker 25: We Well, I just I mean just vibes, essy n 1212 00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:04,480 Speaker 25: empirical data. But that could change, and especially hitting you know, 1213 00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:06,440 Speaker 25: over the next couple of months with the election and 1214 00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,280 Speaker 25: the you know, and they're not too distant future, you 1215 00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:11,120 Speaker 25: can imagine people being a whole Lop white team. 1216 00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:15,960 Speaker 4: Here's the deal, here's the deal. There's a there's actually 1217 00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,720 Speaker 4: a mechanism available right now text nine two nine two. 1218 00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:20,760 Speaker 4: Let's fire up the ZB text machine and see what 1219 00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:21,680 Speaker 4: they say. 1220 00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:25,120 Speaker 3: Let's let's do better than Jack's vibes and see what 1221 00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:27,200 Speaker 3: we actually think. Do we hate the gas tax? I'll 1222 00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:29,000 Speaker 3: take that. Okay, we'll take a break as well to 1223 00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:31,600 Speaker 3: the huddle. And I don't know if I'm going to 1224 00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:32,800 Speaker 3: thank Tim for this quarter. 1225 00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:37,440 Speaker 1: Two the huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty, the 1226 00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:39,160 Speaker 1: only truly global brand. 1227 00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:41,320 Speaker 3: Right, we're back of the huddle, Tim Wilson, Jack Tame here. 1228 00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:45,120 Speaker 3: You guys go hate the gas tax, hate it. We 1229 00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:48,400 Speaker 3: need gas sell sell sell, which I'm assuming means sell 1230 00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:52,840 Speaker 3: the assets, hate the tax, hate the tax. The gas 1231 00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:55,080 Speaker 3: tax is fair and reasonable. I don't know what this 1232 00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:56,920 Speaker 3: majority hating it isn't it, Jack. 1233 00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:59,320 Speaker 25: I'm surprised that anyone is supportive of the gas tax. 1234 00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:01,760 Speaker 25: No one likes a gas tax. It's just the question 1235 00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:05,000 Speaker 25: is whether or not it's sufficient enough to meaning Felicia 1236 00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,840 Speaker 25: to dial in terms of political support in order for 1237 00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:09,200 Speaker 25: a government to change his position. 1238 00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:11,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good point, Jack. 1239 00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:13,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if it's big enough. But I 1240 00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:14,960 Speaker 3: think a lot of people hate it, But I don't 1241 00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:16,760 Speaker 3: know if it's big enough. Now, Tim, how do you 1242 00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:18,920 Speaker 3: feel about us needing to get a little bit lea 1243 00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,360 Speaker 3: squeamish and just start killing dangerous dogs. 1244 00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:22,439 Speaker 7: Yeah? 1245 00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:26,240 Speaker 4: Look hergery to Tory, and I agree dangerous dogs should 1246 00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:30,280 Speaker 4: definitely meet the consequences of their behavior. But I want 1247 00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,560 Speaker 4: to go for the owners as well, and I think 1248 00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:35,439 Speaker 4: that's that's also a problem. Like the Dog Control Acts 1249 00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:38,919 Speaker 4: of ninety ninety six, Section fifty eight. Obviously, I've looked 1250 00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:41,320 Speaker 4: this up. The owner of any dog that causes any 1251 00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:45,480 Speaker 4: person tax any person causes a serious injury to any person. 1252 00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:49,200 Speaker 4: It actually doesn't address deaths caused by dogs and so 1253 00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:51,320 Speaker 4: that needs to be looked at as well. So we've 1254 00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:52,800 Speaker 4: got we've got a two fold approach here. 1255 00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:54,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, which do you think is going to be more effective? 1256 00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:55,120 Speaker 5: Though? 1257 00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:55,400 Speaker 9: Jack? 1258 00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:57,480 Speaker 3: Is it killing the dog or punishing the owner? 1259 00:59:58,680 --> 00:59:58,760 Speaker 5: Do? 1260 00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:02,080 Speaker 25: I actually wonder The funny thing about deterrence is that 1261 01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,200 Speaker 25: I feel like, if you are so responsible that you 1262 01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:07,840 Speaker 25: are letting really dangerous dogs roam everywhere, actually you're the 1263 01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:09,760 Speaker 25: kind of person who's not going to be paying much 1264 01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:12,480 Speaker 25: attention to a change in the law which will enhance 1265 01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:14,560 Speaker 25: the penalties against you, you know, which is why I think 1266 01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:18,959 Speaker 25: actually a much stricter position on dogs, you know, makes 1267 01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:21,840 Speaker 25: total sense. I mean, for the most part, I think 1268 01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:25,880 Speaker 25: the vast majority of dog owners are totally responsible people. 1269 01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:28,080 Speaker 25: But there are some people, and you just see them 1270 01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:29,960 Speaker 25: every now and then, and it's like, how on earth 1271 01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:34,000 Speaker 25: can you be comfortable with that a dog of that 1272 01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:38,240 Speaker 25: breed unsecured roaming around? It's really freaky. 1273 01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,800 Speaker 4: But here's the deal, Like that, sure that, you know, 1274 01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:46,320 Speaker 4: you destroy that dog and then then the schmuck goes 1275 01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:49,120 Speaker 4: and gets another dog and behaves in exactly the same way, 1276 01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:51,080 Speaker 4: and we're back where we started for it, Which does. 1277 01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:52,720 Speaker 3: Ten bring us to your point right, you kill the 1278 01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:55,640 Speaker 3: dog and then you put a ban on that person 1279 01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:57,760 Speaker 3: ever owning a dog again, or whatever the decision is, 1280 01:00:57,800 --> 01:00:59,960 Speaker 3: so that if you find that they have got another dog, 1281 01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:02,360 Speaker 3: you don't need to worry about whether that dog doesn't attack. 1282 01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:04,160 Speaker 3: You just take the dog off them immediately because they're 1283 01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:05,000 Speaker 3: not supposed to have one. 1284 01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:09,360 Speaker 9: Yeah, So that is that's perfectly reasonable, and that that. 1285 01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:11,400 Speaker 3: Does go some way to making the argument you've got 1286 01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:12,640 Speaker 3: to go for the owner and the dog at the 1287 01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,880 Speaker 3: same time. Now, Jack, is it a controversial call to 1288 01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:18,080 Speaker 3: say the Foo Fighters are the greatest rock band of 1289 01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:18,720 Speaker 3: their generation? 1290 01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:24,560 Speaker 25: No, I think it's a pretty good call. 1291 01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:25,280 Speaker 11: You know what they are. 1292 01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:29,040 Speaker 25: They are a Goldilocks band. Like they're hard, but they're 1293 01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:31,600 Speaker 25: not too hard. They're not like system of a down hard, 1294 01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:33,959 Speaker 25: you know what I mean. So they're like, I feel 1295 01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,840 Speaker 25: like they've got a real kind of cross generational appeal. 1296 01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:39,520 Speaker 25: So if you were, if you were to have a 1297 01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:44,000 Speaker 25: preferential vote across rock fans worldwide, I think this very 1298 01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:46,800 Speaker 25: very good likelihood that the Foo Fighters have come in 1299 01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:48,360 Speaker 25: number one or very near to it. 1300 01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:53,160 Speaker 4: Quite tim absolute load of complete rubbish. And let's talk 1301 01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:55,400 Speaker 4: about credentials to weigh in on this four a start. 1302 01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:57,920 Speaker 4: I was listening to the Foo Fighters with my four 1303 01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,840 Speaker 4: year old oh Na nana poopo. That says nothing about 1304 01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:04,200 Speaker 4: you note quoting our three year old here. That says 1305 01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:07,240 Speaker 4: nothing about your ability to discern true rock and roll. 1306 01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:09,920 Speaker 4: My hair was halfway down my back in the eighties 1307 01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:12,160 Speaker 4: and I was playing motor head on my squash racket. 1308 01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:16,880 Speaker 4: So here's the deal. Foo Fighters rubbish, Kurt Copaine, Cobain 1309 01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:20,320 Speaker 4: is everything. Grole doesn't have the poetic flourish that someone 1310 01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:23,480 Speaker 4: like Kurt Hag has. You want dog sausage, you go 1311 01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:25,280 Speaker 4: to Groll, you want salami. 1312 01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:29,320 Speaker 3: It's but if you want poet poetic flourished, listen to 1313 01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:32,000 Speaker 3: poetry and we're not. We're not tuning into it to 1314 01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:33,280 Speaker 3: hear somebody be all like. 1315 01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:41,600 Speaker 25: And the food Fighters of different generations. 1316 01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:45,160 Speaker 3: They are of different generations. No, but what I did 1317 01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:48,240 Speaker 3: was I then doubled down and also said Dave Grohl 1318 01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:52,000 Speaker 3: is much much better than Kirk Cobain, who's completely overhyped. 1319 01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:55,560 Speaker 4: No, well, I don't want to stream. 1320 01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:58,800 Speaker 25: Kurt Cobain benefits from the infame that comes from an 1321 01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:01,880 Speaker 25: untimely death. But Kirk Cobain probably does to a certain 1322 01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:04,520 Speaker 25: extent benefit from the infemy that comes from an untimely dear, 1323 01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:07,080 Speaker 25: which is not to say I don't think he was 1324 01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:10,080 Speaker 25: an incredibly gifted artist. But you know there's something kind 1325 01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:11,040 Speaker 25: of eternal, isn't there. 1326 01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:12,760 Speaker 2: Is he in the twenty seven club? 1327 01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:15,360 Speaker 3: Yes he is.

Thank you, Now I can go 1349 01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:11,160 Speaker 3: back and explicit. Then I can't go back and explain this, 1350 01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:12,640 Speaker 3: because and then I'm gonna have to start opening up 1351 01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:15,800 Speaker 3: a conversation about UFOs, aren't I and I think we're 1352 01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:19,600 Speaker 3: already just we're sort of we're trying to explain ghosts 1353 01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:22,360 Speaker 3: at the moment, so I don't need UFOs popping up 1354 01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:26,600 Speaker 3: in our dreams. Four away from six now told you yesterday, 1355 01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:28,440 Speaker 3: keep an eye on what's been What's going on with 1356 01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:32,640 Speaker 3: this ISIS camp, the Roge camp over in Syria. It 1357 01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:35,040 Speaker 3: now is getting a little bit more complicated with the 1358 01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:38,400 Speaker 3: ISIS brides trying to get back to Australia. The Albaneze 1359 01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:41,080 Speaker 3: government has slapped a temporary ban on one of them. 1360 01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:43,360 Speaker 3: She's not going to be able to come back presumably 1361 01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:46,000 Speaker 3: with whatever kids, whatever number of kids she's got there. 1362 01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:50,240 Speaker 3: So there are eleven ISIS linked women, twenty three children. 1363 01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:52,960 Speaker 3: One is temporarily banned, and three of the women are 1364 01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:55,320 Speaker 3: considered high risk. And this is going to blow up 1365 01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:58,720 Speaker 3: into potentially quite a big political issue over there. Now, 1366 01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:00,600 Speaker 3: what about this I've got to tell about this kid. 1367 01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:02,040 Speaker 3: I was reading about this kid in the newspapers that 1368 01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:05,080 Speaker 3: I thought, you're a legend, aren't you? Stamers Rupert Heslop 1369 01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:08,400 Speaker 3: Ducks at Havelock North High last year he did so 1370 01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:10,760 Speaker 3: well in his scholarship exams at the end of the 1371 01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:12,920 Speaker 3: year that he's going to receive one of those awards 1372 01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:15,120 Speaker 3: that they get from the Prime Minister. There's thirteen New 1373 01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:18,680 Speaker 3: Zealand Premier Scholarship winners and he's going to get one 1374 01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:23,000 Speaker 3: because he's received outstanding scholarships in accounting, chemistry and statistics, 1375 01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:26,440 Speaker 3: and then additional scholarships and biology, calculus and physics. It 1376 01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:28,920 Speaker 3: wasn't an accident and it's not just his brains. He 1377 01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:30,960 Speaker 3: got his results back at the end of year eleven, 1378 01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:33,320 Speaker 3: thought I'd it better than expect it. If I work 1379 01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:35,360 Speaker 3: at this, I could become the Ducks. So he set 1380 01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:37,600 Speaker 3: the goal of being the Ducks and then he would 1381 01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:41,320 Speaker 3: go to school every Tuesday at seven point thirty, meet 1382 01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:44,400 Speaker 3: his deputy principal and start preparing for his scholarship exams. 1383 01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:47,920 Speaker 3: Isn't that dedication? That's incredible a anyway, So he's off 1384 01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:51,600 Speaker 3: to Auckland University for a biomedical science degree and if 1385 01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:53,520 Speaker 3: he carries on the way, he's going to be outstanding 1386 01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:56,479 Speaker 3: in the future, isn't he?

Jolly Hodson is the chief executive. Hi, 1401 01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:52,960 Speaker 3: Joli Hi. He that you must be relieved to get 1402 01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:55,160 Speaker 3: a decent one out of the way. I'm really placed. 1403 01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:57,440 Speaker 26: I think we've had a step up in the business 1404 01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:59,080 Speaker 26: and we're really delivered on the things that we said 1405 01:06:59,080 --> 01:06:59,720 Speaker 26: we do last year. 1406 01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:02,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, now you're seen as something of a bell weather 1407 01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:04,240 Speaker 3: as well for the economy. So what are you seeing 1408 01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:04,680 Speaker 3: out there? 1409 01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:06,920 Speaker 26: Look, I think it's make still, but I think I 1410 01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:09,840 Speaker 26: feel like the economy sort of finding its footing. I 1411 01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:12,160 Speaker 26: can say that like that consumer, we're starting to see 1412 01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:14,600 Speaker 26: some improvement. I think in business there's still a bit 1413 01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:18,120 Speaker 26: of low spind happening, but as I look forward, I'm 1414 01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:18,920 Speaker 26: positive about that. 1415 01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:20,960 Speaker 3: Outlook, what's going on? Is there still a bit of caution? 1416 01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:23,160 Speaker 3: I think so in terms. 1417 01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:26,800 Speaker 26: Of that, and different sectors are experiencing different things and 1418 01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:29,920 Speaker 26: so the recovery is not the same for everyone. But 1419 01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:33,080 Speaker 26: when I look at activity, whether it's like new iPhone 1420 01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:35,160 Speaker 26: launch or things like that, we have seen a bigger 1421 01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:36,880 Speaker 26: pick up in those sorts of things. So what do 1422 01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:38,800 Speaker 26: you How long do you reckon it's going to take 1423 01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:40,640 Speaker 26: us to get back to what we would have considered 1424 01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:43,560 Speaker 26: a level of normal pre pandemic. Oh, I need a 1425 01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:44,880 Speaker 26: pretty good crystal. 1426 01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:46,560 Speaker 3: Ball for that one. Hither is it this year? 1427 01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:46,840 Speaker 7: Though? 1428 01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:50,160 Speaker 26: Because you get you know, as you go down through 1429 01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:53,040 Speaker 26: calendar twenty six, I think you're still probably a little 1430 01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:55,040 Speaker 26: bit towards the end, but there are some promising signs 1431 01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:58,080 Speaker 26: and ultimately sumer confidence is an important part of that. 1432 01:07:58,280 --> 01:07:58,480 Speaker 20: Yeah. 1433 01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:01,280 Speaker 26: Yeah, and so I think it's making sure that businesses 1434 01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:04,440 Speaker 26: were investing, which we are and we're still innovating and 1435 01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:05,040 Speaker 26: doing new things. 1436 01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:05,960 Speaker 3: I think that's part of. 1437 01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:09,680 Speaker 26: How we left forward as a as a country. 1438 01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:09,919 Speaker 2: Really. 1439 01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:12,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. Now, let's talk about your business a little bit. 1440 01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:14,960 Speaker 3: To see you're losing a bit of market share with 1441 01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:16,840 Speaker 3: the mobiles. What's happened there, Well. 1442 01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:18,599 Speaker 26: If you look at the mobile revenues, we actually grow 1443 01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:20,880 Speaker 26: our revenues one point six percent, which is up on 1444 01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:24,000 Speaker 26: the prior period. Small, but we're market leader by some 1445 01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:27,599 Speaker 26: distance in terms of about five cheer points there. And 1446 01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:30,320 Speaker 26: we did see some competition and around sort of envy 1447 01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:33,879 Speaker 26: and o which is more of your maybe energy bundles 1448 01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:34,519 Speaker 26: and things like that. 1449 01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:38,799 Speaker 3: Oh yeah yeah, and so they've nibbled away us this pattern? 1450 01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:39,639 Speaker 3: Is it two degrees? 1451 01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:43,400 Speaker 26: No? No, more like an energy so like a power company. 1452 01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:45,360 Speaker 3: Ohways, see the power company is the one leading the 1453 01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:48,240 Speaker 3: way on this. Oh I see. Okay, the weather, I 1454 01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:50,519 Speaker 3: mean I was thinking about this when the weather was happening. 1455 01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:52,839 Speaker 3: I thought, Okay, we're talking a lot about how people 1456 01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:55,400 Speaker 3: are faring here, but a lot of you guys, there's 1457 01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:57,680 Speaker 3: a fair amount of infrastructure you've got out there has 1458 01:08:57,680 --> 01:08:58,559 Speaker 3: a best you about. 1459 01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:01,120 Speaker 26: So the infrastructure at South Mobile sites and things like 1460 01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:03,200 Speaker 26: that haven't been impacted. But of course we really heavily 1461 01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:06,080 Speaker 26: on power. So when power is impacted, we either have 1462 01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:08,040 Speaker 26: battery back up or we have gen sets going to 1463 01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:10,639 Speaker 26: different sites, and of course that needs to be delivered 1464 01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:12,599 Speaker 26: in a way afraid to cut off and things like that. 1465 01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:15,160 Speaker 26: That does make that challenging. So we focus really hard 1466 01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:17,559 Speaker 26: on working across the industry to make sure we can 1467 01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:20,439 Speaker 26: stand it up, you know, stand up service for everyone 1468 01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:21,320 Speaker 26: as quickly as we can. 1469 01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:24,360 Speaker 3: Are you guys doing things to adapt? Because this is 1470 01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:26,160 Speaker 3: what the conversation is at the moment, right, how do 1471 01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:28,320 Speaker 3: we adapt and prepare ourselves for this to happen on 1472 01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:30,000 Speaker 3: the regular? What are you doing for that? 1473 01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:31,840 Speaker 26: I think if you think about that, we're looking at 1474 01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:34,320 Speaker 26: so battery lives, we're also looking I mean, we work 1475 01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:36,479 Speaker 26: closely with the power industry. Might add as well in 1476 01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:38,320 Speaker 26: terms of when you think about recovery, where are they 1477 01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:39,800 Speaker 26: going to go first? What does that mean we go 1478 01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:44,599 Speaker 26: to separately, So we work across industry. With significant weather event, 1479 01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:47,600 Speaker 26: so you do think about where you build your infrastructure, 1480 01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:50,000 Speaker 26: but the reality is if you're locked across New Zealand 1481 01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:52,880 Speaker 26: in this last few weeks, it's you know, we've had 1482 01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:54,800 Speaker 26: with the events in many places, so it's not like 1483 01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:56,599 Speaker 26: you can say, well, you won't do it there and 1484 01:09:56,640 --> 01:10:00,720 Speaker 26: you need it's critical to everybody commune, locating and living 1485 01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:01,160 Speaker 26: their life. 1486 01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:03,280 Speaker 3: So yeah, for us, it's just really around how do 1487 01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:05,840 Speaker 3: we continue to build resilience but also work closely with 1488 01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:08,800 Speaker 3: other infrastructures to make sure that if we are making 1489 01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:11,559 Speaker 3: investment is sensible across a lot of us. Speaking of 1490 01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:13,880 Speaker 3: which you haven't and you're going to launch this year 1491 01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:17,280 Speaker 3: the mobile to satellite service here is that Starlin, I 1492 01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:20,800 Speaker 3: can't say, Heather, we will say when we launch, we 1493 01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:23,160 Speaker 3: can take from that what we will. How are you 1494 01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:25,000 Speaker 3: finding AI? Because I see one of the things that 1495 01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:28,000 Speaker 3: popped up today was you're finding AI is increasing your productivity? 1496 01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:28,519 Speaker 3: How was that? 1497 01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:28,880 Speaker 13: So? 1498 01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:33,120 Speaker 26: If you look examples like in our contact centers, speeding 1499 01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:36,320 Speaker 26: up information about a customers so that our agents are 1500 01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:38,640 Speaker 26: able to help them better. If you think around we 1501 01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:41,040 Speaker 26: just talked about infrastructure, So some of the things we're 1502 01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:46,519 Speaker 26: trialing right now is AI using that technology to a 1503 01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:48,719 Speaker 26: cell site somewhere make sure if the pal's not required 1504 01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:50,759 Speaker 26: at the same level, that we can adjust it remotely 1505 01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:53,160 Speaker 26: and do those things that you've just been trying it 1506 01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:53,880 Speaker 26: down from it out. 1507 01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:54,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. 1508 01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:58,680 Speaker 26: And then also looking at coding, you know, things like that, 1509 01:10:59,200 --> 01:11:01,599 Speaker 26: how do we help with natural language? Now you can 1510 01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:04,120 Speaker 26: do a lot more faster. You have so human reviewing 1511 01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:07,080 Speaker 26: what's happening. But it's spreeding up some of the dross 1512 01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:09,120 Speaker 26: as well in terms of the day to day work 1513 01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:11,080 Speaker 26: that people are doing. So we're just looking at it 1514 01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:13,479 Speaker 26: very much now from a processhin ind because of course 1515 01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:15,400 Speaker 26: you just move work down a process if you only 1516 01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:17,280 Speaker 26: focus on one side and don't Yeah, yeah. 1517 01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:20,080 Speaker 3: Do you think that this is the solution to our 1518 01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:23,599 Speaker 3: productivity problem in countries like New Zealand? I think it's 1519 01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:26,160 Speaker 3: certainly something that and I've had someone say to me, 1520 01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:29,400 Speaker 3: why wouldn't you want thirty percent more brain power that 1521 01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:31,320 Speaker 3: you get from something like that or to be able 1522 01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:33,640 Speaker 3: to remove where And I definitely think it's something that 1523 01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:34,559 Speaker 3: we should be adopting. 1524 01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:38,400 Speaker 26: It is happening globally. It will help us with productivity. 1525 01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:40,839 Speaker 26: It's always about finding the things that are really useful 1526 01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:43,920 Speaker 26: though for your organization, and not everyone's the same, so 1527 01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:46,479 Speaker 26: it's about I suppose. But what I would say to 1528 01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:48,240 Speaker 26: people is if you're not testing and trying and really 1529 01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:50,040 Speaker 26: understanding how you could do it, you're going to get 1530 01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:52,479 Speaker 26: left behind because your competitors will be totally jolly. 1531 01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:53,880 Speaker 3: Thank you for coming in. It's been great to chat 1532 01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:54,080 Speaker 3: to you. 1533 01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:54,559 Speaker 26: Thanks Hether. 1534 01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:58,240 Speaker 3: Jollie Hodson, CEO, Chief executive Rother of Spark. Right now, 1535 01:11:58,280 --> 01:12:02,479 Speaker 3: wh it thirteen past six dup for sel Okay, get 1536 01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:04,000 Speaker 3: a load of how big the waves got on the 1537 01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:08,080 Speaker 3: cook Straight earlier this week during the storm. Definitely three stories, 1538 01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:11,760 Speaker 3: they say, possibly up to four. It's slightly contentious because 1539 01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:15,280 Speaker 3: the biggest wave recorded was thirteen point six meters. Think 1540 01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:20,720 Speaker 3: about that, thirteen point six meters. It's a monster. The 1541 01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:24,000 Speaker 3: trouble is the data is unreliable because the boy that's 1542 01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:26,600 Speaker 3: out there measuring the waves actually snapped. The waves are 1543 01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:29,080 Speaker 3: so big it snapped the buoy about half an hour 1544 01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:32,200 Speaker 3: before that big wave was recorded. So officially the wave 1545 01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:34,519 Speaker 3: that came through biggest high, the highest wave that came 1546 01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:37,439 Speaker 3: through before the thing broke is seven point one meters. 1547 01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:41,479 Speaker 3: They definitely say the waves got over ten meters. They 1548 01:12:41,479 --> 01:12:43,760 Speaker 3: can be sure of that, but it may be as 1549 01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:47,200 Speaker 3: high as the thirteen point six meters. That's four stories. 1550 01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:50,080 Speaker 3: Look at Just look at you. If you're I'm surrounded 1551 01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:52,000 Speaker 3: by buildings right now, as I'm looking outside looking at 1552 01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:55,479 Speaker 3: where four stories is man alive. You wouldn't want to 1553 01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:57,080 Speaker 3: be out on that, will you wouldn't be? But you 1554 01:12:57,080 --> 01:12:59,759 Speaker 3: wouldn't want to be, would you? Fourteen past six. 1555 01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:04,040 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Duplessy Allen Drive Full Show podcast on 1556 01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:09,679 Speaker 1: my Heart Radio, empowered by Newstalks EBB. Crunching the numbers 1557 01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:12,920 Speaker 1: and getting the results. It's Heather Duplessy Allen on the 1558 01:13:13,040 --> 01:13:17,120 Speaker 1: Business Hour with Mass Insurance and Investments, Your futures in 1559 01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:20,240 Speaker 1: good Hands, News Talks edb Uh. 1560 01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:21,880 Speaker 3: If I get a chance, and I'm going to have to, 1561 01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:23,240 Speaker 3: I need to give you a little bit of a 1562 01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:25,599 Speaker 3: heads up of what's going on in Australia with Pauline Hanson, 1563 01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:27,760 Speaker 3: what she's been saying one Nation, what they've been up to. 1564 01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:31,479 Speaker 3: Seventeen past six. Right now, Jeremy Hutton Milford Asset Management 1565 01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:33,760 Speaker 3: is with me, Hi, Jeremy. 1566 01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:34,559 Speaker 5: Good evening, Heather. 1567 01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:36,840 Speaker 3: Right, so we've had a bunch of results. Let's start 1568 01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:40,600 Speaker 3: with Fletcher Building what's the market reaction being to this announcement. 1569 01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:45,519 Speaker 21: Yeah, there was a reasonably subdued reaction today from the 1570 01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:46,840 Speaker 21: market for Fletcher Building. 1571 01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:50,120 Speaker 5: The chef rice was largely flat. I would not have 1572 01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:51,160 Speaker 5: just note that the chef. 1573 01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:53,360 Speaker 21: Rice had had a pretty strong run over the back 1574 01:13:53,360 --> 01:13:55,639 Speaker 21: part of last year. I was up around twenty twenty 1575 01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:59,040 Speaker 21: five percent, and a lot of investors were being early 1576 01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:03,519 Speaker 21: movers on the New Zealand cyclical recovery story. Now, I 1577 01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:05,960 Speaker 21: would note again that the results they're still highlighting that 1578 01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:09,200 Speaker 21: the construction market in New Zealand is still very subdued. 1579 01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:11,720 Speaker 21: So perhaps the share market have got a little bit 1580 01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:16,280 Speaker 21: ahead of itself. But investors are looking really closely at 1581 01:14:16,280 --> 01:14:19,120 Speaker 21: the space. I mean, the listed companies exposed there, flitch 1582 01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:20,920 Speaker 21: As being one of them, are of a lot of 1583 01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:23,559 Speaker 21: interest to see that cyclical recovery, and I think if 1584 01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:25,200 Speaker 21: you see some of that evidence come through in the 1585 01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:27,639 Speaker 21: hard data, then the share prices of these companies should 1586 01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:28,759 Speaker 21: react pretty strongly. 1587 01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:31,679 Speaker 3: They said that they are not expecting things to improve 1588 01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:34,080 Speaker 3: very much until twenty twenty seven, so investors are going 1589 01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:35,200 Speaker 3: to have to be patient, aren't they. 1590 01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:38,599 Speaker 21: Yeah, yeah, they will have to remain patient at this point. 1591 01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:43,240 Speaker 21: I mean, the business has another strategy of just simplifying things, 1592 01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:46,000 Speaker 21: you know, focusing on their core strengths, which is the 1593 01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:49,519 Speaker 21: building materials products. You know, this is hopefully putting a 1594 01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:52,600 Speaker 21: little bit less risk, a bit more predictability into the 1595 01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:55,519 Speaker 21: earnings and in the theory, the market should reward this 1596 01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:58,639 Speaker 21: with a high evaluation. And they have taken some steps 1597 01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:01,280 Speaker 21: towards this. I mean, some of thegacy issues that's plagued 1598 01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:04,599 Speaker 21: the business in the past appear very contained, and they've 1599 01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:06,760 Speaker 21: sold their construction division, which which has been a little 1600 01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:09,280 Speaker 21: bit of a headache. But I think the main thesis 1601 01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:12,200 Speaker 21: for investors they will hope that the economic cycle will 1602 01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:14,519 Speaker 21: improve things from here. But you know, the business is 1603 01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:17,720 Speaker 21: doing a good job, you know, positioning itself to take 1604 01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:18,839 Speaker 21: advantage of any upswing. 1605 01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:19,160 Speaker 9: Yeah. 1606 01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:20,840 Speaker 3: And then on Spark, we were just speaking to the 1607 01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:24,240 Speaker 3: ce as another company that's been struggling. What's the market 1608 01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:25,400 Speaker 3: thinking about this result? 1609 01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:30,519 Speaker 21: Yeah, very in line results from Spark today, and I 1610 01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:34,000 Speaker 21: think given some of the disappointing updates they've had, they'll 1611 01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:37,720 Speaker 21: probably take this one. But they do produce some really 1612 01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:40,240 Speaker 21: interesting read throughs for the wider economy, I mean, the 1613 01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:43,280 Speaker 21: mobile market that's still growing really really slowly. I mean 1614 01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:47,599 Speaker 21: low immigration isn't helping. But also unfortunately for Spark, they 1615 01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:50,080 Speaker 21: do they are still losing a little bit of market 1616 01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:52,840 Speaker 21: share and mobile to cheaper alternatives, so you are you 1617 01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:55,280 Speaker 21: are seeing trading down in the mobile market. And then 1618 01:15:55,720 --> 01:15:59,120 Speaker 21: you know, the business and government spending still pretty weak 1619 01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:01,680 Speaker 21: and continues to pull back, so you know, continues to 1620 01:16:01,760 --> 01:16:05,799 Speaker 21: highlight Kiwi's businesses. They are remaining very tight with their spending. 1621 01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:08,879 Speaker 3: Still, is this the bottom do you think for Spark? 1622 01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:11,160 Speaker 3: Is Spark now an attractive option for investors? 1623 01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:15,360 Speaker 21: Yeah, we'll be attractive to some investors. I mean it's 1624 01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:18,519 Speaker 21: traditionally viewed as a very steady business and that pays 1625 01:16:18,520 --> 01:16:22,440 Speaker 21: a big dividend, and it was important that they've stabilized 1626 01:16:22,439 --> 01:16:24,360 Speaker 21: the financials. I think they've done. One result of this, 1627 01:16:25,400 --> 01:16:28,160 Speaker 21: they're retained therefore earnings guidance and cash flow numbers, so 1628 01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:31,559 Speaker 21: that's important. And as long as they continue to defend 1629 01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:34,280 Speaker 21: that dividend, I mean it is trading it at multi 1630 01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:36,600 Speaker 21: year highs that dividend yield, so that will be attractive 1631 01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:38,479 Speaker 21: and if they can put a string of good results 1632 01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:41,040 Speaker 21: together then it should get back in favor again. 1633 01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:42,639 Speaker 3: That stuff Jeremy. Always good to talk to you. Thank 1634 01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:44,920 Speaker 3: you so much, mate, Jeremy Hutton of Milford Asset Management. 1635 01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:49,559 Speaker 3: Heather waves of twenty meters plus were measured at slung 1636 01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:53,400 Speaker 3: cop Off Cape Town in twenty seventeen and similar before. 1637 01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:55,720 Speaker 3: Basically this is one upping, isn't it. This is like, Oh, 1638 01:16:56,120 --> 01:16:58,120 Speaker 3: I take your thirteen point six met a wave at 1639 01:16:58,120 --> 01:17:00,360 Speaker 3: Wellington and I'll give you a twenty plus a Cape Town. 1640 01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:03,519 Speaker 3: The wave boy. Oh, here's some more. The wave boy 1641 01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:06,280 Speaker 3: has been there for over forty years and survived the storms. 1642 01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:08,599 Speaker 3: It's more one uping. Oh our wave boy in Cape 1643 01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:12,040 Speaker 3: Town lasted its twenty meters, couldn't take it out, and 1644 01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:15,640 Speaker 3: yours kaot at fourteen. Would you know what the problem is? 1645 01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:19,320 Speaker 3: Probably that somebody went there and took out one of 1646 01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:21,160 Speaker 3: the nuts. That'll be what it is. With the guys. 1647 01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:23,280 Speaker 3: When they were finished with the transpower one up north, 1648 01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:24,439 Speaker 3: they went, you know what, we're going to go down 1649 01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:25,880 Speaker 3: to that wave boy. We're going to take out the nuts. 1650 01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:28,479 Speaker 3: So you know we probably planned that six twenty one. 1651 01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:33,240 Speaker 1: Whether it's Macros micro or just plain economics fall on 1652 01:17:33,320 --> 01:17:37,120 Speaker 1: the business hour with had the Dupicila and MAS Insurance 1653 01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:42,439 Speaker 1: and investments, your futures in good hands. News talks v Right. 1654 01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:44,160 Speaker 3: It's twenty three pass six. So this is what is 1655 01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:46,880 Speaker 3: going on with Pauline Hanson over in Australia. She's issued 1656 01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:50,040 Speaker 3: a partial apology today for something that she said earlier 1657 01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:51,720 Speaker 3: in the week, which is suggesting that there were no 1658 01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:55,240 Speaker 3: good Muslims. Now the issue has come up obviously because 1659 01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:57,120 Speaker 3: of what I was what I was talking about earlier, 1660 01:17:57,120 --> 01:17:59,840 Speaker 3: which is the Isis brides trying to get back to Australia. 1661 01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:02,960 Speaker 3: That is going to be a big problem because yeah, 1662 01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:05,400 Speaker 3: it would be pretty controversial to bring them back to 1663 01:18:05,439 --> 01:18:08,880 Speaker 3: any Western country basically a la Shemima Bagham in the 1664 01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:11,280 Speaker 3: UK and how that went anyway. So she went on 1665 01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:13,200 Speaker 3: an interview I think it was with SkyTV and she 1666 01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:16,679 Speaker 3: basically said there is there are no Essentially she inferred 1667 01:18:16,680 --> 01:18:18,840 Speaker 3: there are no good Muslims out there. She has now 1668 01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:21,759 Speaker 3: gone on to apologize for that, saying she doesn't believe 1669 01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:25,040 Speaker 3: that she has a non practicing Muslim woman in one nation. 1670 01:18:25,479 --> 01:18:28,880 Speaker 3: She apologized if she quote offended anyone out there that 1671 01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:31,840 Speaker 3: doesn't believe in Sharia law or multiple marriages or wants 1672 01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:34,000 Speaker 3: to bring Isis brides in or people from Gaza that 1673 01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:36,920 Speaker 3: believe in a caliphate and then added in general that 1674 01:18:37,040 --> 01:18:39,040 Speaker 3: is what they want a world calivate. And I'm not 1675 01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:41,200 Speaker 3: going to apologize. I will have my say now before 1676 01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:43,840 Speaker 3: it's too late, which you know is very much a 1677 01:18:43,880 --> 01:18:46,720 Speaker 3: partial apology, isn't it. She has also gone on to 1678 01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:51,040 Speaker 3: say that there is parts of Australia where Western people 1679 01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:54,360 Speaker 3: can't go, and she was referencing Lakember which is in 1680 01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:58,519 Speaker 3: Sydney's southwest and basically suggesting it is now, you know, 1681 01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:02,559 Speaker 3: so full of people of you know, the Muslim faith 1682 01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:05,840 Speaker 3: that no one else wants to go there. Anyway. If 1683 01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:07,559 Speaker 3: you listen to this and you go, oh that's it 1684 01:19:07,560 --> 01:19:10,799 Speaker 3: for one one nation, oh they're going to in the pulse, 1685 01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:13,679 Speaker 3: mark my words, it's going to have the opposite effect 1686 01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:17,280 Speaker 3: because the situation in Australia is now I think so. 1687 01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:21,200 Speaker 3: I mean, the people in Australia are so ill tempered 1688 01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:24,880 Speaker 3: towards each other and towards migrants that I suspect that 1689 01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:27,880 Speaker 3: one nation getting more and more opportunity to basically send 1690 01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:30,160 Speaker 3: their messages out there the Australia. There is going to 1691 01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:32,599 Speaker 3: be a proportion of the Australian vote that loves it 1692 01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:35,320 Speaker 3: one nation, if you've seen the polls, is already level 1693 01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:38,439 Speaker 3: pegging with the Liberals and the Nationals. So just watch 1694 01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:40,759 Speaker 3: where this goes. And I think for anybody who would 1695 01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:43,439 Speaker 3: like to see, you know, peace among peoples, it's probably 1696 01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:45,519 Speaker 3: it's probably a little bit of a worrying sign, isn't it. 1697 01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:46,360 Speaker 3: Six twenty six? 1698 01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:55,599 Speaker 1: There's no business like show business. 1699 01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:57,720 Speaker 3: There Hannah Montana. I know Miley Cyrus swallowing her pride 1700 01:19:57,760 --> 01:19:59,800 Speaker 3: and she's getting back together with Disney. The singer got 1701 01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:01,880 Speaker 3: her start on Hannah Montana, if you remember, which is 1702 01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:04,360 Speaker 3: a kid show about an ordinary high school girl with 1703 01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:07,120 Speaker 3: a secret identity as the world's biggest pop star. Now, 1704 01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:08,760 Speaker 3: if I had to ask you how long ago it 1705 01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:10,960 Speaker 3: was that Hannah Montana first aired on TV, what would 1706 01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:14,639 Speaker 3: you say? Whatever you said, it's wrong. It's been twenty years. 1707 01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:18,200 Speaker 3: So if you remember Hannah Montana first airing, it's probably time. 1708 01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:22,680 Speaker 3: It's probably time to realize you're a full grown adult now. 1709 01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:25,280 Speaker 3: But to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the show, Miley 1710 01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:27,439 Speaker 3: Cyrus and Disney have decided to play nice and make 1711 01:20:27,479 --> 01:20:30,439 Speaker 3: a special reunion episode for Disney. Plus, it's going to 1712 01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:32,519 Speaker 3: be filmed in front of a live studio audience. It's 1713 01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:35,400 Speaker 3: going to include interviews with Cyrus, recreations of the show's 1714 01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:38,879 Speaker 3: iconic sets like the Malibu Beach House and the Hannah closet, 1715 01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:40,880 Speaker 3: and all of the outfits and wigs that she wore 1716 01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:44,760 Speaker 3: over the years. They've also hinted that Miley Cyrus might 1717 01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:46,800 Speaker 3: perform some of her old Hannah songs that she hasn't 1718 01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:49,200 Speaker 3: been allowed to perform in over a decade. And if 1719 01:20:49,240 --> 01:20:52,080 Speaker 3: you don't remember why Miley Cyrus and Disney stopped being friends, 1720 01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:54,680 Speaker 3: you must not remember the time that Miley Cyrus got 1721 01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:56,840 Speaker 3: up on stage and twerked and played with a giant 1722 01:20:56,880 --> 01:21:00,719 Speaker 3: foam finger. In fact, Miley tried so hard to herself 1723 01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:03,280 Speaker 3: from the Disney branch he unofficially killed Hannah off. 1724 01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:07,120 Speaker 14: But there are a few subjects we're not going to 1725 01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:10,000 Speaker 14: get into tonight. I'm not gonna do Hannah Montana, but 1726 01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:12,320 Speaker 14: I can give you an update on what she's been 1727 01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:12,640 Speaker 14: up to. 1728 01:21:13,439 --> 01:21:18,000 Speaker 3: She was murdered. Now Miley Cyrus is thirty three years old. 1729 01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:20,479 Speaker 3: Now the bad blood seems to have settled. And for 1730 01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:23,040 Speaker 3: super fans, this is something that they've been waiting for 1731 01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:26,040 Speaker 3: for a very very very long time. Which while it 1732 01:21:26,160 --> 01:21:28,920 Speaker 3: is great that it's happening. Does add quite a bit 1733 01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:31,439 Speaker 3: of pressure, doesn't it. If Cyrus doesn't put on the 1734 01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:34,959 Speaker 3: iconic blonde wig and transform into an adult Hannah Montana, 1735 01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:38,200 Speaker 3: You're going to be hearing from Twitter about that, and 1736 01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:39,720 Speaker 3: a lot of the Twitter comments are going to be 1737 01:21:39,760 --> 01:21:43,240 Speaker 3: coming from our producer Sam, who has got a probably 1738 01:21:43,320 --> 01:21:48,000 Speaker 3: unhealthy fascination with Hannah Montana. The special will air exclusively 1739 01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:52,639 Speaker 3: on Disney Plus on March twenty four. I know you're excited. 1740 01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:54,439 Speaker 3: Au't you put that in your diary? Didn't you were? 1741 01:21:54,479 --> 01:21:54,559 Speaker 9: Like? 1742 01:21:54,600 --> 01:21:54,760 Speaker 4: There? 1743 01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:57,640 Speaker 3: It is Rugby Boss, a rugby coach announcement for the 1744 01:21:57,640 --> 01:22:01,400 Speaker 3: All Blacks early in March, mid March. Hannah Montana March 1745 01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:04,559 Speaker 3: twenty four March is booked out, isn't it? Genetip Traine 1746 01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:05,120 Speaker 3: is with us. 1747 01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:18,519 Speaker 1: Next, everything from SMEs to the big corporates, The Business 1748 01:22:18,520 --> 01:22:22,560 Speaker 1: Hour with Hander Duper c Allen and Mas Insurance and investments. 1749 01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:25,840 Speaker 2: Your futures in good hands? Used talks'd be. 1750 01:22:27,640 --> 01:22:27,680 Speaker 7: That. 1751 01:22:28,120 --> 01:22:29,479 Speaker 2: So can you come back? 1752 01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:33,960 Speaker 3: If it's possible to believe that there is more fallout 1753 01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:36,479 Speaker 3: from the Epstein files, there is. The cops are now 1754 01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:38,960 Speaker 3: looking at flight records, so Gavin Gray will get us 1755 01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:41,120 Speaker 3: across that in ten minutes time. Right now, it's twenty 1756 01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:43,759 Speaker 3: four away from seven. And of course the new Reserve 1757 01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:46,479 Speaker 3: Bank governor's first announcement on the ocr is being described 1758 01:22:46,479 --> 01:22:50,400 Speaker 3: as dubvish. New Zealand Herald Wellington Business editor jeneative Traney's 1759 01:22:50,439 --> 01:22:54,120 Speaker 3: been looking at this inner's with us now, Hi, Jane hi, hever, 1760 01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:58,760 Speaker 3: so she seems strangely quite unfazed by the inflation. What 1761 01:22:58,800 --> 01:22:59,320 Speaker 3: do you make of that? 1762 01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:01,599 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. 1763 01:23:01,880 --> 01:23:05,519 Speaker 27: The market was expecting the Reserve Bank to be a 1764 01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:10,080 Speaker 27: little bit more worried than it was about inflationary pressures 1765 01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:13,800 Speaker 27: coming through. But what the bank did instead was to 1766 01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:17,400 Speaker 27: say that it would keep the OCI at a sort 1767 01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:22,360 Speaker 27: of accommodative level for some time, provided the economy evolved 1768 01:23:22,760 --> 01:23:27,640 Speaker 27: as it expected. So look what that means for you 1769 01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:31,040 Speaker 27: and me is that it would seem that mortgage and 1770 01:23:31,120 --> 01:23:34,920 Speaker 27: term deposit rates are unlikely to keep rising in the 1771 01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:38,080 Speaker 27: near term. Listeners will recall that in December and in 1772 01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:41,800 Speaker 27: January those interest rates started going up mortgage in term 1773 01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:45,800 Speaker 27: deposit rates. But based on current market pricing, and you 1774 01:23:45,840 --> 01:23:48,080 Speaker 27: know how the market has interpreted what the Reserve Bank 1775 01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:52,200 Speaker 27: has said, it seems like those rates aren't going up 1776 01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:54,559 Speaker 27: anymore for now, at least. 1777 01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:57,040 Speaker 3: Somebody has suggested to me that it's a ruse that 1778 01:23:57,200 --> 01:23:59,840 Speaker 3: actually they are worried about inflation, are more worried about 1779 01:23:59,840 --> 01:24:02,680 Speaker 3: the inlay than saying But they can't say that out 1780 01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:05,040 Speaker 3: loud because that would be then admitting that November's dropping 1781 01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:06,360 Speaker 3: of the OCR was a mistake. 1782 01:24:08,200 --> 01:24:10,120 Speaker 27: Oh look, I mean people always sort of you know, 1783 01:24:10,160 --> 01:24:12,559 Speaker 27: it's easy to tie yourself in a not over this stuff, 1784 01:24:12,640 --> 01:24:16,080 Speaker 27: and central banks speak is kind of a language of 1785 01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:19,320 Speaker 27: its own, and markets do read a lot into the 1786 01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:23,320 Speaker 27: wording of what people like the governor say. I think 1787 01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:26,320 Speaker 27: the challenge here that the Reserve Bank has faced was 1788 01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:30,400 Speaker 27: that the market reacted differently to what it expected to 1789 01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:33,360 Speaker 27: its November statement. So we talked about this on the 1790 01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:37,400 Speaker 27: show in the past. Basically, they didn't expect Christian hawks 1791 01:24:37,439 --> 01:24:39,880 Speaker 27: Be to close the door to further interest rate cuts 1792 01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:42,400 Speaker 27: as much as he did. This caused the market to 1793 01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:45,439 Speaker 27: go but nuts quite frankly, start pricing in you know, 1794 01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:49,400 Speaker 27: OCR hikes throughout this year. You know, that's saw banks 1795 01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:52,360 Speaker 27: push up their mortgage and their term deposit rates, those 1796 01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:56,280 Speaker 27: fixed rates, those rates rose by more than what the 1797 01:24:56,320 --> 01:24:59,600 Speaker 27: Reserve Bank expected you know, that did. According to the 1798 01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:02,719 Speaker 27: Reserve Bank, they think that did actually stemy economic growth 1799 01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:05,599 Speaker 27: a wee bit. You know, those rates going up didn't 1800 01:25:05,640 --> 01:25:09,599 Speaker 27: give you know, didn't give us much time with rates 1801 01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:12,519 Speaker 27: at quite low levels, you know, to just feel a 1802 01:25:12,520 --> 01:25:15,560 Speaker 27: bit better about our mortgages and you know, get things 1803 01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:19,719 Speaker 27: going a bit. So I think because of this turbulent time, 1804 01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:23,720 Speaker 27: it made sense for the Reserve Bank to just say, look, 1805 01:25:23,720 --> 01:25:26,640 Speaker 27: we're just going to keep the o CR where it 1806 01:25:26,720 --> 01:25:29,960 Speaker 27: is for some time, give the economy sometime to just 1807 01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:33,720 Speaker 27: you know, recover, for things to settle down, and then 1808 01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:37,000 Speaker 27: take it from them. I must say, I must say, 1809 01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:40,320 Speaker 27: actually the market reaction wasn't that big. So swap rates 1810 01:25:40,360 --> 01:25:42,479 Speaker 27: as wholesale interest rates did come down a bit. That 1811 01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:46,960 Speaker 27: that shows the dubbishness, but the reaction wasn't massive, Like, 1812 01:25:47,080 --> 01:25:50,000 Speaker 27: the market wasn't terribly surprised by what the Reserve Bank did. 1813 01:25:50,120 --> 01:25:51,800 Speaker 3: Did it look to you like she is a little 1814 01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:54,040 Speaker 3: bit worried about what's going on with the house prices 1815 01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:57,599 Speaker 3: and the effect that that's having on people spending because 1816 01:25:57,600 --> 01:25:58,880 Speaker 3: they don't have that wealth effect. 1817 01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:04,240 Speaker 27: Yeah, she did raise a really interesting point that in 1818 01:26:04,320 --> 01:26:08,400 Speaker 27: New Zealand in the past, when interest rates have gone down, 1819 01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:11,400 Speaker 27: house prices have gone up. And when house prices go up, 1820 01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:15,200 Speaker 27: we all feel richer people who own houses do. Renters 1821 01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:18,600 Speaker 27: get agitated, of course, but homeowners feel better. And you 1822 01:26:18,680 --> 01:26:21,320 Speaker 27: know that the mortgage servicing costs are down and they 1823 01:26:21,400 --> 01:26:24,920 Speaker 27: spend more. But what's happened now is that those house 1824 01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:29,000 Speaker 27: prices have not really gone up, so that wealth effect 1825 01:26:29,479 --> 01:26:33,080 Speaker 27: that traditionally has stimulated the economy is not happening. So 1826 01:26:33,439 --> 01:26:37,640 Speaker 27: what Anna Breeman said was that in this recovery, we 1827 01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:42,640 Speaker 27: are relying more on the labor market strengthening to and 1828 01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:46,599 Speaker 27: that strength is supporting the economy rather than the wealth effect. 1829 01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:50,400 Speaker 27: So the Chief Poor Conway said that actually that different 1830 01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:53,560 Speaker 27: dynamic that they did see that as a risk, you know, 1831 01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:56,120 Speaker 27: not because they particularly want house prices to go up, 1832 01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:59,519 Speaker 27: but just because the way things are rolling out is 1833 01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:02,240 Speaker 27: a different to the way they've rolled out in the past. 1834 01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:05,280 Speaker 3: Jane, thanks very much, appreciate your time. Janet to Trainey 1835 01:27:05,400 --> 01:27:07,840 Speaker 3: The Herald's Wellington Business Edit A twenty away from. 1836 01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:11,400 Speaker 2: Seven Heather Duplessy Ellen, I'm saying this, but. 1837 01:27:11,439 --> 01:27:13,160 Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna there's a chance I get in 1838 01:27:13,240 --> 01:27:15,879 Speaker 3: trouble for this because I shouldn't comment on women's appearance, 1839 01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:20,639 Speaker 3: you see, I'm just setting myself up for it, aren't I. Anyway, 1840 01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:23,840 Speaker 3: I like how Anna Breman looks. I think she's got 1841 01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:26,040 Speaker 3: a classy style about her. She's just got a she's 1842 01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:28,320 Speaker 3: got a tidy little haircut or clearly gives it a 1843 01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:31,479 Speaker 3: little blowwave. Either either that or she's just blessed with 1844 01:27:31,560 --> 01:27:33,479 Speaker 3: kind of the kind of you know, like straight enough 1845 01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:35,760 Speaker 3: hair so it looks silky, but also not so straight 1846 01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:37,439 Speaker 3: that it just hangs down limp and she could sort 1847 01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:39,360 Speaker 3: of do things with it anyway, So she's got a 1848 01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:42,120 Speaker 3: classy little boy haircut going on, and then does like 1849 01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:45,600 Speaker 3: a block colored suit. And why I like this, I 1850 01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:48,439 Speaker 3: do like this very much. Why I like this is 1851 01:27:48,479 --> 01:27:51,760 Speaker 3: because I do sometimes think about the women's attire in 1852 01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:54,000 Speaker 3: Wellington can be a little fussy. I don't know if 1853 01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:55,840 Speaker 3: you've noticed this, but the women like this sort of 1854 01:27:55,880 --> 01:27:57,479 Speaker 3: think I'm gonna go out and get a corporate jacket. 1855 01:27:57,800 --> 01:27:59,360 Speaker 3: Then they go get a corporate jacket. But it's not 1856 01:27:59,439 --> 01:28:01,439 Speaker 3: like a suit. It's sort of like a it's just 1857 01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:04,120 Speaker 3: a corporate jacket. And the jacket costs like the jacket 1858 01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:05,920 Speaker 3: costs two thousand dollars and then they've got to go 1859 01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:07,720 Speaker 3: find some black pants to go with it, do you know. 1860 01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:08,080 Speaker 9: What I mean? 1861 01:28:08,439 --> 01:28:10,679 Speaker 3: But the jacket will be because it's the statement jacket. 1862 01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:12,920 Speaker 3: Then it has to be patterned, doesn't. It's all bright 1863 01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:15,800 Speaker 3: colors and weird shit going on it like it's something 1864 01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:19,960 Speaker 3: from the nineteen eighties anyway, And it's not from the 1865 01:28:20,040 --> 01:28:25,400 Speaker 3: nineteen eighties. It's recent anyway. So I'm just hoping and 1866 01:28:25,520 --> 01:28:27,160 Speaker 3: all they go for something bland on the top and 1867 01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:30,439 Speaker 3: then like a shirt that's really full of something anyway, 1868 01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:33,080 Speaker 3: and it's like tassels and like hanging things and all 1869 01:28:33,160 --> 01:28:35,559 Speaker 3: like patterns, like sloppy kind of patterns that are spoke 1870 01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:38,200 Speaker 3: like texture. Anyway. I'm just hoping a lot of the 1871 01:28:38,240 --> 01:28:40,840 Speaker 3: Wellington women look at Anna and go look at how 1872 01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:44,160 Speaker 3: nice Anna looks in a block color, just a plain colored, 1873 01:28:44,280 --> 01:28:47,240 Speaker 3: just a plain tidy little suit in one color with 1874 01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:49,640 Speaker 3: a white shirt underneath, and then they maybe go and 1875 01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:51,639 Speaker 3: copy that and we'll all be better for it. Yes, 1876 01:28:51,640 --> 01:28:53,400 Speaker 3: I'm gonna get in trouble for one hundred percent going 1877 01:28:53,439 --> 01:28:56,439 Speaker 3: to be a broadcasting standards complained about that anyway. Whatever 1878 01:28:57,479 --> 01:28:59,320 Speaker 3: women can say these kinds of things about women can't 1879 01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:02,439 Speaker 3: they If you have been following the situation with Willie 1880 01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:05,360 Speaker 3: Jackson v. Matt mccarton, there is an update for you, 1881 01:29:05,960 --> 01:29:08,040 Speaker 3: and I know you love an update, because boy do 1882 01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:10,240 Speaker 3: you text me to find out why people aren't covering this? 1883 01:29:10,640 --> 01:29:14,639 Speaker 3: So here he goes from Audrey Young. Apparently Willie Jackson's wife, 1884 01:29:14,760 --> 01:29:19,759 Speaker 3: Tanya Rangiheyu, is on extended leave of about potentially three months. 1885 01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:23,080 Speaker 3: There is some suggestion on social media that she has 1886 01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:25,960 Speaker 3: been stood down by the board after a breakdown of 1887 01:29:26,040 --> 01:29:29,960 Speaker 3: mediation between the Board, MUMA, the Manecow Urban Maldi Authority 1888 01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:32,519 Speaker 3: and the union. That is not correct. Apparently she has 1889 01:29:32,600 --> 01:29:35,360 Speaker 3: been put on extended leave because it's very stressful to 1890 01:29:35,479 --> 01:29:38,920 Speaker 3: have Matt mccarton make these allegations about her. The board 1891 01:29:38,960 --> 01:29:41,960 Speaker 3: has full confidence in its CEO, it says in a statement, 1892 01:29:42,240 --> 01:29:44,760 Speaker 3: we are proud of her work. She is currently on leave. 1893 01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:47,200 Speaker 3: She has certainly not been stood down as claimed on 1894 01:29:47,280 --> 01:29:49,600 Speaker 3: social media, so they have full confidence confidence in her. 1895 01:29:49,640 --> 01:29:51,960 Speaker 3: But she is she's she's taken a little sabbatical for 1896 01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:55,479 Speaker 3: three months. Matt mccarton has said that he is now 1897 01:29:55,520 --> 01:29:58,200 Speaker 3: having a much better time with murmur. Of late, they've 1898 01:29:58,280 --> 01:30:00,840 Speaker 3: encouraged everyone to join the union. People adjoining the union. 1899 01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:03,479 Speaker 3: He hasn't had the trespass order against him lifted. It's 1900 01:30:03,479 --> 01:30:05,479 Speaker 3: been lifted against the union, but not against him. But 1901 01:30:05,560 --> 01:30:07,600 Speaker 3: that's okay because everybody's in the union now and he 1902 01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:09,760 Speaker 3: can do things remotely seventeen away from seven. 1903 01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:13,640 Speaker 1: Ever, it's to do with money. It matters to you 1904 01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:18,160 Speaker 1: the Business Hour with Heather Duplicy, Allen and Mas Insurance 1905 01:30:18,240 --> 01:30:23,080 Speaker 1: and investments, your futures in good hands, us talks'd be here. 1906 01:30:23,120 --> 01:30:24,920 Speaker 3: The why doesn't will you want people in the union? 1907 01:30:24,960 --> 01:30:26,519 Speaker 3: I thought that would have been part of the contract 1908 01:30:26,640 --> 01:30:29,439 Speaker 3: unionizodom was Willy being hypocritic? Do you know what this 1909 01:30:29,640 --> 01:30:33,200 Speaker 3: whole do you know what? This whole argument between Willie 1910 01:30:33,320 --> 01:30:36,719 Speaker 3: and Matt is ridiculous and it is ridiculous that I'm sorry, 1911 01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:39,200 Speaker 3: but it's ridiculous that we're even interested in it because 1912 01:30:39,240 --> 01:30:41,639 Speaker 3: what it is is literally a fight between two besties. 1913 01:30:42,040 --> 01:30:45,040 Speaker 3: That two best friends who are just having a gigantic squabble, 1914 01:30:45,080 --> 01:30:47,719 Speaker 3: and now it's in the newspapers. Imagine if the newspaper's published, 1915 01:30:47,760 --> 01:30:50,360 Speaker 3: you'll fight. None of it would make sense. It's ridiculous. 1916 01:30:50,400 --> 01:30:52,800 Speaker 3: Both of them are probably just being ridiculous. So who 1917 01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:55,920 Speaker 3: can answer that question only they can. Thirteen away from 1918 01:30:55,960 --> 01:30:58,880 Speaker 3: seven and Gavin Gray are UK correspondence with us. Hello Gavin, 1919 01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:02,960 Speaker 3: why are the cops and examining the flight records FRAE 1920 01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:03,920 Speaker 3: the Epstein files. 1921 01:31:04,960 --> 01:31:08,919 Speaker 28: Well, it's been reported but not confirmed that quite potentially 1922 01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:11,400 Speaker 28: Jeffrey Epstein might have flown in on the aeroplane, the 1923 01:31:11,520 --> 01:31:16,080 Speaker 28: so called Lalita Express some eighty seven times. So the 1924 01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:20,400 Speaker 28: disgraced form of financier, the late disgraced form of financier 1925 01:31:21,360 --> 01:31:24,400 Speaker 28: was flowing in. It's being reported to Stansted Airport, which 1926 01:31:24,479 --> 01:31:28,320 Speaker 28: is big airport, it conducts international flights. It's north and 1927 01:31:28,520 --> 01:31:30,920 Speaker 28: east of London, but it is one of the sort 1928 01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:34,719 Speaker 28: of more relatively minor ones acquieter airport and the former 1929 01:31:34,760 --> 01:31:38,200 Speaker 28: Prime Minister Gordon Brown is demanding the police re examine 1930 01:31:38,240 --> 01:31:42,800 Speaker 28: whether Epstein's victims are trafficked within and outside of the UK, 1931 01:31:43,479 --> 01:31:47,000 Speaker 28: because he says this really needs looking into now. The 1932 01:31:47,120 --> 01:31:50,759 Speaker 28: BBC's reported that three British women who were allegedly trafficked 1933 01:31:51,040 --> 01:31:53,800 Speaker 28: appear in Epstein's records of flights in and out of 1934 01:31:53,880 --> 01:31:58,280 Speaker 28: the UK, alongside other documents relating to the convicted sex offender. 1935 01:31:58,520 --> 01:32:00,519 Speaker 28: So what Gordon Brown is saying is look, we need 1936 01:32:00,600 --> 01:32:03,120 Speaker 28: to thrash this out. This needs sorting out. We need 1937 01:32:03,200 --> 01:32:05,519 Speaker 28: to do some research, and he says the scale of 1938 01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:09,000 Speaker 28: trafficking will become apparent if an investigation is conducted into 1939 01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:11,840 Speaker 28: the flights. Now police say they are merely looking at 1940 01:32:11,920 --> 01:32:15,240 Speaker 28: it and assessing the information that fall short so far 1941 01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:16,960 Speaker 28: of a full investigation. 1942 01:32:17,520 --> 01:32:19,920 Speaker 3: What's France's problem with the soil tanker. 1943 01:32:20,920 --> 01:32:24,240 Speaker 28: Well, it's the world's problem with what are called shadow 1944 01:32:24,439 --> 01:32:25,679 Speaker 28: fleet oil tankers. 1945 01:32:26,080 --> 01:32:27,200 Speaker 11: So these are. 1946 01:32:27,680 --> 01:32:33,600 Speaker 28: Dubious vessels registered around the world. They seem to not 1947 01:32:33,800 --> 01:32:38,559 Speaker 28: necessarily always have their satellite systems switched on, so they're 1948 01:32:38,600 --> 01:32:41,880 Speaker 28: quite difficult to plot where they are going. But it 1949 01:32:42,040 --> 01:32:45,240 Speaker 28: is thought these aging tankers are basically being used in 1950 01:32:45,320 --> 01:32:50,599 Speaker 28: a clandestine network to evade Western sanctions of Russian oil exports. 1951 01:32:50,680 --> 01:32:53,280 Speaker 28: So in other words, they're being used to carry Russian 1952 01:32:53,320 --> 01:32:56,559 Speaker 28: ail around the world which would otherwise be subject to sanctions, 1953 01:32:56,600 --> 01:32:59,599 Speaker 28: and it's all being done under the cloak of being 1954 01:32:59,680 --> 01:33:03,160 Speaker 28: these sort of shadow fleet as it were. And France said, well, 1955 01:33:03,360 --> 01:33:06,920 Speaker 28: when one got in French waters, we basically took it 1956 01:33:07,080 --> 01:33:10,000 Speaker 28: and arrested it. They said they've now released it, but 1957 01:33:10,200 --> 01:33:14,400 Speaker 28: only after the payment of several million euros. They haven't 1958 01:33:14,400 --> 01:33:17,200 Speaker 28: said exactly how much. The tanker was seized by French 1959 01:33:17,280 --> 01:33:20,880 Speaker 28: forces in the Mediterranean last month, diverted to Marseille the 1960 01:33:21,000 --> 01:33:23,800 Speaker 28: port and then found it that sets so off from 1961 01:33:23,920 --> 01:33:28,320 Speaker 28: Mamansk in northern Russia and was flying under the Camorris flag. 1962 01:33:29,280 --> 01:33:32,720 Speaker 28: So that's why France was suspect about that. There are 1963 01:33:32,800 --> 01:33:36,200 Speaker 28: lots of these vessels, incidentally, and now France is demanding 1964 01:33:36,240 --> 01:33:40,080 Speaker 28: other countries, particularly those in Europe, when those vessels get 1965 01:33:40,120 --> 01:33:44,000 Speaker 28: into their waters, they should be seized immediately. In January, incidentally, 1966 01:33:44,200 --> 01:33:47,479 Speaker 28: British armed forces supported a US operation to seize a 1967 01:33:47,600 --> 01:33:49,439 Speaker 28: Russian flag tanker in the Atlantic. 1968 01:33:49,840 --> 01:33:51,920 Speaker 3: Kevin, how are those unemployment numbers looking? 1969 01:33:53,200 --> 01:33:53,719 Speaker 2: Not good? 1970 01:33:54,120 --> 01:33:57,200 Speaker 28: Not good at all, particularly if you're young. So the 1971 01:33:57,360 --> 01:34:00,200 Speaker 28: overall rate has climbed to five point two percent, that's 1972 01:34:00,439 --> 01:34:04,960 Speaker 28: the most now for five years. But the big headline 1973 01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:09,040 Speaker 28: is that for those age between sixteen and twenty four, 1974 01:34:09,920 --> 01:34:14,680 Speaker 28: sixteen percent are unemployed. That's one in six of that 1975 01:34:14,800 --> 01:34:17,400 Speaker 28: age group unemployed. It's the highest figure for modern ten years, 1976 01:34:17,680 --> 01:34:19,920 Speaker 28: and lots of employers are saying this is a problem 1977 01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:23,120 Speaker 28: the government's own making. They've increased the minimum wage for 1978 01:34:23,200 --> 01:34:26,240 Speaker 28: the very youngest workers. They are also now increasing the 1979 01:34:26,400 --> 01:34:30,559 Speaker 28: tax on every employee that an employer has on its books, 1980 01:34:30,680 --> 01:34:34,200 Speaker 28: so no wonder now people are employing less, particularly young. 1981 01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:36,000 Speaker 3: Peoplekevin, go to talk to you, or talk to you 1982 01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:38,559 Speaker 3: in a couple of days. Gavin Gray UK, corresponding, by 1983 01:34:38,640 --> 01:34:41,479 Speaker 3: the way, on the Epstein stuff. Over in New Mexico, 1984 01:34:41,600 --> 01:34:44,200 Speaker 3: they are now investigating what happened at as ranch. This 1985 01:34:44,280 --> 01:34:47,519 Speaker 3: is Epstein's ranch. It's called Zoro Ranch, and of course 1986 01:34:47,560 --> 01:34:50,559 Speaker 3: there are allegations of criminal activity there. So the House 1987 01:34:50,600 --> 01:34:54,799 Speaker 3: of Representatives has voted, it seems basically like with no opposition, 1988 01:34:55,520 --> 01:34:58,360 Speaker 3: has voted to have a look into it, to compel 1989 01:34:58,640 --> 01:35:00,640 Speaker 3: the attendance of witnesses. This is power. They have their 1990 01:35:00,760 --> 01:35:03,519 Speaker 3: power to compel the attendance of witnesses and to issue subpoenas. 1991 01:35:03,560 --> 01:35:05,040 Speaker 3: And once they've had a look into it, they will 1992 01:35:05,080 --> 01:35:08,960 Speaker 3: then decide whether other legislative action is required. Nine away 1993 01:35:08,960 --> 01:35:10,840 Speaker 3: from seven It's. 1994 01:35:10,760 --> 01:35:15,000 Speaker 1: The Heather Tipsy Allen Drive Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio 1995 01:35:15,240 --> 01:35:16,679 Speaker 1: powered by newstalg ZBI. 1996 01:35:19,280 --> 01:35:22,200 Speaker 3: Right, you know, I love a ute so it makes 1997 01:35:22,200 --> 01:35:24,040 Speaker 3: me quite happy to tell you the Ford Ranger is 1998 01:35:24,120 --> 01:35:26,240 Speaker 3: mounting a comeback now.

I'm not sort 2001 01:35:30,479 --> 01:35:32,160 Speaker 3: of like, no, I'm just going to hard out back it. 2002 01:35:32,200 --> 01:35:34,040 Speaker 3: I'm going to hard out back the Ford Ranger. 2003 01:35:34,640 --> 01:35:34,880 Speaker 28: It was. 2004 01:35:34,960 --> 01:35:36,679 Speaker 3: And the reason that I'm interested in this is because 2005 01:35:36,760 --> 01:35:39,680 Speaker 3: last year, for the first time ever, it was dethroned 2006 01:35:40,240 --> 01:35:42,880 Speaker 3: as New Zealand's favorite new vehicle by the rad four. 2007 01:35:44,040 --> 01:35:46,800 Speaker 3: Last month, which is the first month of the new year, 2008 01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:48,920 Speaker 3: so first month out of twenty twenty five, the Ford 2009 01:35:49,040 --> 01:35:52,040 Speaker 3: Rangers trying to it's trying to get it's thrown back. 2010 01:35:52,360 --> 01:35:55,360 Speaker 3: It sold six hundred and eighty eight vehicles, well it registered, 2011 01:35:55,800 --> 01:35:57,720 Speaker 3: and the rad Ford was only six hundred and forty one. 2012 01:35:57,960 --> 01:36:00,640 Speaker 3: So it started off. Well, I think I'm backing it 2013 01:36:00,760 --> 01:36:03,000 Speaker 3: is because number one you to call number two rams 2014 01:36:03,000 --> 01:36:05,200 Speaker 3: are not so it's I mean, it's a no brainer. 2015 01:36:05,280 --> 01:36:07,200 Speaker 3: So here we go.
