1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: New Zealand's home for trusted news and views. 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 2: Heather Duplicy Allen on the mic, asking breakfast with al Vida, Retirement, Communities, 3 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,040 Speaker 2: Life Your Way, News, Togs, dead b. 4 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 3: Jod Morning and coming up this Tuesday morning. We are 5 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 3: doing the big old you turn on the poly text. 6 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 3: But aren't we just going to have the same problems 7 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,479 Speaker 3: we had? The full will talk to the Nelson Marlborough 8 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 3: Institute of Technology. Trump is threatening person with sanctions unless 9 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 3: he ends the war. We're going to have a chat 10 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 3: to Robert Patman, expert on international relations for Minister, on 11 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,559 Speaker 3: why exam pass rates are finally climbing, the ABO industry 12 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 3: on why they are on the up and up. And 13 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 3: Mike pron legendary scrum coach on what he learned from 14 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 3: ballet dancers and suma wrestlers. 15 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: Heather Duplicy Allen. 16 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 3: It's probably sensible, don't you think for the Blues to 17 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 3: consider leaving Eden Park for Mount Smart. It's not going 18 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 3: to fix the attendance issues, though they seem to be 19 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,840 Speaker 3: hoping it's going to fix the crowd. In the consultation 20 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 3: that they're asking a question of fans are asking them 21 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,639 Speaker 3: whether moving to Mount Smart will make them quote more 22 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 3: or less likely to attend the Blue Super Rugby men's 23 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 3: home games. The fans may look at that and go 24 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 3: yeah and say yes, but they won't. Mount Smart is 25 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 3: no better than Eden Park. It's not easier to get 26 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 3: there with public transport. It's about the same. If you drive, 27 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 3: you're still going to have to find a car park 28 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 3: somewhere on the road or on private property. You're still 29 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 3: going to be exposed to the elements in the stand. 30 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 3: You're still going to be paying for your beer and 31 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,199 Speaker 3: your chips instead of getting them out of your kitchen. 32 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 3: Maybe you could argue that Mount Smart has a slight 33 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 3: advantage in that you're coming straight off the motorway instead 34 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 3: of fighting to get down Dominion Road in a traffic jam, 35 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 3: but I don't think that's enough of a difference to 36 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 3: supercharge a crowd. Maybe you could argue that because the 37 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 3: Warriors and the Eakland Football Club are there, forms a fans' 38 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 3: former habit, so they go because they know how to go. 39 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 3: But again I don't think that's the problem. I think 40 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 3: the problem is just Super Rugby right. You're seeing poor 41 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 3: turnout for Super Rugby regular season around the country. Muana 42 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,559 Speaker 3: pacificas six thousand turned up Crusaders one of their games. 43 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 3: Only thirteen thousand turned up Blues. Blues versus the Crusaders 44 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 3: one of the great matches, only eleven thousand turned up. 45 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 3: Now eleven thousand in fifty thousand stadium looks horrible. Twenty 46 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 3: five thousand stadium like Mount Smart. Mount Smart looks less bad. 47 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 3: But it is giving up, isn't it. I mean, the 48 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 3: Blues leaving the home of rugby is basically accepting that 49 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 3: this is now how it is. That the crowd size 50 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 3: of eleven thousand is simply how it's going to be, 51 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 3: and then they're downscaling accordingly. What they really should be 52 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 3: doing is finding smart ways to get us to come 53 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 3: to the super rugby games again, I don't know. Find 54 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 3: ways to get the family along, get the kid zone 55 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 3: going like they do at Eden Park with the bouncy castle, 56 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 3: that kind of thing. Find ways to get us excited 57 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 3: about the game of rugby. It's a boring product. Make 58 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,239 Speaker 3: it less boring. Unless they do that. Crowds that only 59 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 3: quarter filler stadium are the future, in which case absolutely 60 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 3: move to Mount Smart. Then a smaller stadium is going 61 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 3: to hide those empty seats a whole lot better who 62 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 3: news of. 63 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: The world in ninety seconds. 64 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 3: Trump has had enough of Putin and might finally be 65 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 3: coming to terms with the fact that alleged friendships do 66 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 3: not end wars. 67 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 4: And disappointed and present important because I thought we would 68 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 4: have had a deal two months ago. But if it 69 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 4: doesn't seem to get there, so based on that, we're 70 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 4: going to be doing secondary tariffs if we don't have 71 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 4: a deal in fifty days. It's very simple and they'll 72 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 4: be at one hundred percent. 73 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 3: This was announced on the old Yellow Chairs alongside the 74 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 3: NATO Secretary General Mark Daddy Rutter. 75 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 5: I Fladimir Putting Today're you speaking about what you were 76 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 5: bene to do it fifty days? At this announcement, I 77 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 5: would reconsider that I should not take negotiations about Ukraine 78 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 5: more seriously. 79 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 3: Than I was doing it tomorrow now. It might not 80 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,399 Speaker 3: please the base that wanted the US to completely pull 81 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 3: away from the Russia Ukraine War, but military analysts say 82 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 3: the US is at least finally back on the right side. 83 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 6: The president is finally realizing that Putin's word can't be trusted, 84 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 6: which has been the situation for decades. In Putin's foreign policy, 85 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 6: and the facts are that actions speak louder than words. 86 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 6: The ceasefire talks with Putin, it's all a bunch of theater. 87 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 3: Europe is developing a strategy to deal with Trump's thirty 88 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 3: percent tariffs. 89 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 7: If you're talking about thirty percent thirty percent plus, there 90 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 7: will be a huge impact on trade. It will be 91 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,119 Speaker 7: almost impossible to continue the trading as we are used 92 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 7: in a transatlanting relationship. 93 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 3: Now, the UK government is still trying to eat into 94 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 3: the Reform Party's voter base by announcing more anti migrant measures. 95 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 8: New action agree with France includes establishing a new French 96 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 8: Company Demash of specialist enforcement officers with stronger public order 97 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 8: powers to address increases in violence on French beaches and 98 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 8: prevent vote launches before they reach the water. 99 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 3: It's been a bad day for the BBC. They've admitted 100 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 3: they should have acted sooner on Greg Wallace, while a 101 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 3: reporter has found that they broke editorial guidelines by not 102 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 3: saying that a doco they did on Gaza was narrated 103 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 3: by a Jama's official son. The government has taken notice. 104 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 9: What I've had in response is an action plan that 105 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 9: is aimed at addressing the reasons why some of these 106 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,679 Speaker 9: failures happened and making sure that they can never happen again. 107 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 3: Finally, sticking in the UK, Rachel Reeves has announced a 108 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 3: unique plan in what has been deemed a small way 109 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 3: to try to from big issues. She says the government 110 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 3: will invest one and a half million pounds in a 111 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 3: quest to find chess grand masters and put chess back 112 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 3: on the map. The game is seeing a surge and 113 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 3: participation in the UK, with millions playing daily. Considering the 114 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 3: cost of living crisis, this hasn't gone down particularly well 115 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 3: as you can imagine, and that is news of the 116 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 3: world in ninety seconds. Now. There is a little bit 117 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 3: of a political spat going on in Argentina over the 118 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 3: pension level. The VP there with Argentina is a fascinating case. 119 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 3: And if you're not watching Argentina, can I recommend that 120 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 3: you watch Argentina because you want to see a country 121 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 3: being turned around in a drastic way. I mean, they 122 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 3: were on that path, was the path they were on, 123 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 3: got turned around headed in the other direction. Now keep 124 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 3: an eye on this because this is absolutely fascinating. But 125 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 3: a little bit of a sidebar. VP in Argentina wants 126 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 3: to put up the pension, but the president, Zavi Javi 127 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 3: Malay doesn't want to. So they've had a row, as 128 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 3: you do, on Twitter for everyone to see. He essentially 129 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 3: called her stupid and described as her as a traitor, 130 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 3: and then she told him to grow up. Now, the 131 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 3: issue is that times are tough in Argentina because it 132 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 3: was headed on the wrong path. The pensioners have been 133 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 3: protesting for an increase. He's basically trying to get the 134 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 3: books back in order. Reckons they can't afford the expenditure. 135 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 3: So if you want to have a fight, have it 136 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 3: on Twitter. Apparently. Thirteen past six. 137 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 2: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio Power 138 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 2: by newstalksp. 139 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 3: Heather, You're spot on with your Rugby analogy. It is 140 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 3: a boring product, John, thank you. I'm going to get 141 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 3: you across exactly what Donald Trump has announced, just in 142 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 3: a tack right now at sixteen past six and Gregsmith, 143 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 3: devans Bund's management is with us. Morning Greg, Good morning, Heather. 144 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 3: All right. So we talked about manufacturing yesterday. Service is 145 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 3: not much better. 146 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 10: That's right. So this is the business beansie business News 147 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 10: and Forms of services and the ex search at the 148 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 10: services sector contributed for the fifth consecutive month in June, 149 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 10: so it was under the break even mark of fifty, 150 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 10: up three point two two points from May, but at 151 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 10: forty seven point three, still well below the long term 152 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 10: average of fifty two point nine. So you hear that 153 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 10: we've seen minimal expansion in the services sector of the 154 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 10: past eighty months, So pretty concerning when it accounts around 155 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 10: two thirds of our economy comes to the wide range 156 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 10: of industries. I think finance, insurance, property, health care, transport, 157 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 10: and also tourism. So new orders that week. Employment that's 158 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 10: been contracting for nineteen consecutive months, So yeah, many jobs, 159 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 10: because we know how tough it is out there for 160 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 10: many and the stretch we're going through is tied with 161 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 10: the global financial crisis, is the longest ever continual period 162 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 10: of net labour sheddings. That sort of telligent something. Yeah, 163 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 10: sector businesses are facing weak consumer confidence, our high cost 164 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 10: of living, and obviously just general economic uncertainty. I thought 165 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 10: the interesting thing that Benz pointed out is that services 166 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 10: sector conditions are getting worse, not better. So, yeah, we 167 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 10: keep talking about the economic recovery, but it seems like 168 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 10: the timeline that keeps getting pushed out further and further. 169 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 10: Another point here is that we're training well below our 170 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 10: peers in terms of services sector, so we're the only 171 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 10: country of a PEA side below fifty or below break even. 172 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 10: You look at Ossie, they're running at the highest level 173 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 10: one over a year at fifty one point eight. So 174 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 10: look we're in a tougher spot than most. But ben 175 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 10: Zaid do point out that the weak PEA sign also 176 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 10: the manufacturing one we talked about. You say, our supportive 177 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 10: of further rate cuts by their being said set something 178 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 10: to look forward to potentially in August and October, and 179 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 10: that perps will take the OCA down to two point 180 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 10: seventy five percent. 181 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 3: Are you seeing anything positive in the retail card spending? 182 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 10: Yes, before you're too gloomy, we are seeing some positive 183 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 10: aspects and it perhaps surprisingly it's from the retail sector. 184 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 10: So this is respect's latest updates. So retail card spending 185 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 10: rows are stronger than expected half percent in June, so 186 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 10: it's actually the first increase in four months, and there 187 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 10: was a head of respects own forecast for zo point 188 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 10: two percent lift. As they point out, before we get 189 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 10: too excited, perhaps does need to be taken with a 190 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 10: grain of salt. We've actually said increased spinning on groceries, 191 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 10: and that's because things have been going up in price, 192 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 10: particularly likes of butter. We didn't see a fall and 193 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 10: picture price as well, so perhaps it consumers are sort 194 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 10: of spending on in other areas. But I think there's 195 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 10: certainly a positives and that discretionary spending that appears to 196 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 10: be picking up. We look at household durables, so things 197 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 10: like furniture that was up point six percent and peril 198 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 10: spinning was up three percent. Just on the downside, hospital 199 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 10: is still on a bit of apprecire that was down 200 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 10: point three percents. That's continue to trend downwards over the 201 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 10: past six months as he has retail spinning generally, but 202 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 10: we have seen that lift in June, which is nice. 203 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 10: Also perhaps more relief on the horizon for the economy. 204 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,719 Speaker 10: Again related back to interest rates, so we spec to 205 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 10: point out that half of all mortgages up for refixing 206 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 10: over the next six months, and obviously many boroughs will 207 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 10: be able to lock in rates perps up to two 208 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 10: percent lower than they were a year ago, so that 209 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 10: should help a bit more of a recovery and spending 210 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 10: fingers crossed, hopefully a tonic for the economy. 211 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 3: What do you reckon about China's economy what you see there? 212 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 10: Well, obviously very important to us, are our biggest customer, 213 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 10: so we've got some GDP data out there today, but 214 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 10: before that, we've had some trade data abou a very 215 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 10: important trading nation to the world, actually not just US, 216 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 10: so exports there they were at five point eight percent 217 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 10: in Junior and year to three hundred and twenty five 218 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 10: billion NEWIS dollars. That was higher than the forecast of 219 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 10: five percent growth and also four point eight percent of May, 220 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 10: so there has been a bit of fun loading disposed 221 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 10: ahead of the tariffs we saw there in March and April, 222 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 10: and of course we've got this upcoming deadline in August, 223 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 10: so perhaps that's that's a factor. Of course, Tariff rates, yeah, 224 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 10: from the US have been cut back from a peak 225 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 10: levels around one hundred and. 226 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: Forty five percent to fifty five percent. 227 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 10: So there's been a bit of a rushing out there, 228 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,319 Speaker 10: so that's. 229 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: Certainly part of it. 230 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 10: Imports they rebound on one point one percent as well, 231 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 10: and it was a sharp improvement on the three point 232 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 10: four percent declimb of May and that's also the first 233 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 10: time it's actually was in this year. So he tried 234 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 10: to trade serve Bus one hundred and fifteen billion news 235 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 10: dollars from one hundred and three billion of May. So 236 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 10: that's all pretty good news. Perhaps just some lingering questions 237 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 10: though here there. You know, obviously we've got Trump still 238 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 10: talking about tariffs, about brick nations of course as well, 239 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 10: which of which China is a founding member. And also 240 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 10: there's some questions about whether clamping down on transshipments or 241 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 10: Chinese goods going for other countries, particularly in Southeast Asia, 242 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 10: whether they don't have an impact. And of course there's 243 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 10: also an ongoing staut between China and Europe. There's a 244 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 10: sum up there between the two nations next week. Europe 245 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 10: is accused trying to flooding the global market or goods 246 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 10: such as evs, so that needs to be watched. And 247 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 10: the biggest thing I thought, well, thank you, there was 248 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 10: this looming deadline with the US. That's really important. That's 249 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 10: August twelve. But yes, plenty of uncertainties yet, but let's 250 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 10: take the good news for now. 251 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 3: Really stuff all right, run us through the numbers. 252 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 10: So the US markets are up, so it looks like 253 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 10: you invest are expecting tariffs to come down and Trump 254 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 10: to make some comment about being open to talks despite 255 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 10: those various letters. So he down's that point one percent 256 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 10: four four four two nine p five found it also 257 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 10: up point one percent. Na's deck up point three percent, 258 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 10: the FOOTZ one hundred and UK up points six percent 259 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 10: eight nine nine eight. That's actually a record high. So 260 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 10: good news over there. Nick Ey down point three percent, 261 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 10: ASEX two hundred down point one percent eight five seventy, 262 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 10: d X fifty was down slightly point zero six percent 263 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 10: lower twelve six seven eight goal down five dollars twenty 264 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 10: three three, and fifty ounce oil down a dollar fifty 265 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 10: sixty six spot ninety four. Just in the currency market, 266 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 10: so kii was actually lower across the board, so down 267 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 10: point six percent against the US fifty nine point seven, 268 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 10: down slightly against Australian dollars ninety one point three, down 269 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 10: point three percent against the British pound forty four point five, 270 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 10: and against Japanese gen we were eighty eight point two 271 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 10: down point four percent. 272 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 3: Good stuff, Greg, really appreciate it and enjoy your morning. 273 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 3: That's Greg Smith, Devon Funds Management.

Avocado industry, if you've been following it, 325 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 3: got a bit smashed around by cyclone Gabriel. There's not 326 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 3: so much that they lost the trees. It's more that 327 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 3: they lost the fruit off the trees, the lost affair. 328 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 3: But anyway, it seems to be bouncing back. According to 329 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 3: a report out from Rabobank this morning, got about two 330 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 3: million trays up on the last season of export.

I've noticed this 334 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 3: for the first year, I reckon in a long time, 335 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 3: if not ever. You can get avocados at the supermarket 336 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 3: all year this year, there was no off season. You've 337 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 3: had avocados on the shelves all year this year and 338 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 3: they haven't been cruddy. You know how Sometimes you get 339 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 3: them and they start to kind of like, I don't 340 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 3: know what's going on that overripe. The whole thing has 341 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 3: just been a shambles and you sort of go, I'm 342 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 3: not gonna buy it because I don't need to be 343 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 3: eating this weird nuttiness in the middle of the year. 344 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 3: But this year they've just been fantastic the whole way through. 345 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 3: It's been like there's been no break in the avocado season. 346 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 3: Hopefully they can answer that. I'm fascinated because I'm going 347 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 3: to lean into that if that's the new normal from 348 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 3: here on in. Anyway, though, with us after seven, it's 349 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 3: twenty two away from seven. So got Auckland's third annual 350 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 3: Stay to the City report out this morning. It reckons 351 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 3: the city is at a turning point. It's still being 352 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 3: seen as a great place to live, but that's under 353 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 3: some threat that perception, at least because of crime and 354 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 3: urban sprawl. Simeon Brown as the Minister for Auckland and 355 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 3: with us now morning, Simeon, good morning here th do 356 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 3: you reckon it's at a turning point. 357 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 14: Oh look, this government very focused on Auckland and it's 358 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 14: on a positive turning point because I think next year 359 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 14: is going to be a great year for Auckland, with 360 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 14: the city railing, opening the International Convention Center, bringing huge 361 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 14: opportunities to our city and where we're addressing many of 362 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 14: the challenges that we inherited. Crime is down, we've seen 363 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 14: ram raids down, violent crime come down, and we're opening 364 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 14: up land for housing across Auckland to keep house prices 365 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 14: under control. So we're doing a lot for Auckland. Very 366 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 14: positive about the city. We know how important it is 367 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 14: to New Zealand's success and that's across a range of 368 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 14: portfolios at GEBE Government. 369 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 3: One of the things that they say Auckland needs to 370 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 3: do is attract some major events and actually we are 371 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 3: a bit sure to them on the calendar, aren't we. 372 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 12: Absolutely? 373 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 14: And I think that's where you know, the International Convention 374 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 14: Center is I think going to be a significant game. 375 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 3: And that's not the kind of thing to anyone wants 376 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 3: to go to. No one wants to go to. 377 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 14: Well, it's very important in terms of I'm talking about 378 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 14: cool things, a patment into the city. 379 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 3: You know, we've got Metallica and Metallica's coming up in November, 380 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 3: We've got sale GP early next year. What else have 381 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 3: we got? 382 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 14: Well that's where the government as the Major Events Fund, 383 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 14: the Minister of Tourism obviously works closely with councils across 384 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:56,400 Speaker 14: the country around events. Council also has an important role 385 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,360 Speaker 14: to play in terms of promoting Auckland for all those 386 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 14: events and to make sure that there is that pipeline 387 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 14: over time. But at the same time, you know, as 388 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 14: I said, the International Convention Center is going to play 389 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 14: a significant role in Auckland's success, bringing a lot of 390 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 14: people to the city. And it's those tourism dollars. It's 391 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 14: those business people coming into the city to spend money, 392 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 14: stand hotels, go out to restaurants, all of that stuff. 393 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 3: I love here. I want things to do as well. 394 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 3: Haven't you correct me if I'm wrong? Have you not 395 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 3: taken away the Major Events funding? 396 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 13: No? 397 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 14: The Major Events Fund is something which the Minister for 398 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 14: Tourism manages. That's a fund that the government puts into 399 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 14: a range of events across New Zealand and she's been 400 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 14: making a range of announcements around what that is going towards. 401 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 14: One of those was around a number of another sailing 402 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 14: event coming to Aukland next year as well, so that 403 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 14: that that continues. I think the argument that the Council 404 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 14: has been putting forward is in there for an accommodation 405 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 14: or a bed tax in Auckland. Our point has been 406 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 14: very clearly that they actually need to find efficiencies to 407 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 14: pay for their fair share of that rather than simply 408 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 14: ask for another tax. 409 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 3: So me and listen. Put your Minister for Heal's cap 410 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 3: on for me quickly. Did you see that Auckland hospitals 411 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 3: were sending ambos away yesterday? 412 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 14: Look we're in a very busy time of winter. 413 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 3: Where were they sending that? 414 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 15: Well? 415 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 14: I think for the advice I've seen, as they would 416 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 14: be taking some patients, lower acuity patients to urgent after 417 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 14: ours care so private, something which happens from time to 418 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 14: time if their acuity obviously is able to be met 419 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 14: at those locations. 420 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 3: But the. 421 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 14: Key point here is if someone needs care, they will 422 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 14: get care through our hospital system. And yes, is a 423 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 14: very busy time of year being winter, and if someone 424 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 14: needs care, they will get here. 425 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 16: Listen. 426 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 3: I mean that I find that alarming. That alarms me 427 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 3: that we're sending ambo's away to private clinics, does it you? 428 00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 17: Well? 429 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 14: The reality is as some is of lower acuity patients 430 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 14: will be managed. But the key thing here is if 431 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 14: people need care, they will get it. 432 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 3: No, that's cool, but I just wonder if we're running 433 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 3: it just a lit little bit close to the bone 434 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 3: and if we need to sort of think about expanding 435 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 3: the resource. 436 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,679 Speaker 14: Here, well, we've got two one hundred more nurses that 437 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 14: have been employed by Health New Zealand since we came 438 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 14: to government, six hundred more doctors. We've investing significantly in 439 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 14: frontline resource across the country. Look, the reality is we 440 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 14: are also in the middle of winter. It is a 441 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 14: challenging time for our health system, and our doctors and 442 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 14: nurses are working incredibly hard to manage that demand. We 443 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 14: are continuing to continuing to focus on that frontline resource 444 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 14: to make sure that we can manage that demand and 445 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 14: ensure that patients can get the timely in quality care. 446 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 14: And as I've been talking about recently, one of the 447 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 14: things to keep make sure that we're able to manage 448 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 14: that demand in particularly winter times is actually managing capacity 449 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 14: across the public and private systems so that we're actually 450 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 14: able to continue to see get patients being seen. 451 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 15: Thank you. 452 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 14: So that's really important, particularly when often when when hospitals 453 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 14: are busy, such as as this time of year, those 454 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 14: planned care procedures, those hip knee cataract operations, they get 455 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 14: postponed or canceled cancer in favor of acute care. So 456 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 14: we have to manage that. 457 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: To me, we're talking. 458 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 3: I appreciate what you say that we are talking about 459 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 3: Edie at the minute.

Hi Catherine, and good 473 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 3: morning Heather. All right, So what's the plan? How is 474 00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 3: Europe going to deal with these thirty percent tariffs? 475 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 18: Good question and they still haven't come up with an answer. 476 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 18: EU Trade commissioners were meeting today in Brussels. Essentially they 477 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 18: at the moment, they're talking tough, they're talking surprise. The 478 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 18: Trade Commissioner said that any tariff for long thirty percent 479 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 18: would make transadantic trade almost impossible, saying obvious things completely unacceptable, 480 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 18: and not just the fact of how it was presented 481 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 18: to them by the latter on social media, but also 482 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 18: the EU did have negotiators over in the US for 483 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 18: the last couple of weeks. They thought that the deal 484 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 18: was within reach and suddenly, bam, over the weekend this 485 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 18: came along. What they're trying to do, is it trying 486 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 18: to sort of collaborate, calibrate some sort of response. Do 487 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 18: they get tough, are they sort of knives you know, conciliatory? 488 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: And it depends really. 489 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 18: On who listened to as to which way they're going 490 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 18: to go. Heather, on the one hand, you've got French 491 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 18: President Emanuel Macran, who who's sort of more in these 492 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 18: sort of Bazooka type response, saying that the Commission, the 493 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 18: European Commission, has to stand up, be determined, defend European interests. 494 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 18: You've got the German chanslating, well, let's not rock the 495 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 18: BoatUS yet, Let's wait and see what happens. By the 496 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 18: first of August, Trump might change his mind and then 497 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 18: you've got the Spanish Trade minister who says, well, you know, 498 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 18: let's just not be too confrontational. But either way, they 499 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 18: are running around hoping against hope that this is going 500 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 18: to be another one of Donald Trump's letters that he 501 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 18: fires off, and then in the meantime they'll keep negotiating, 502 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 18: but knowing full well that there are trillions of New 503 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 18: Zealand dollars worth of trade at risk if this goes ahead. 504 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 3: Do you think that Trump will be pleased to see 505 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 3: the increased military spending at the very least. 506 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 18: At the very least, yes, I mean, let's not forget 507 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 18: about that. What has been seen as a rather disastrous 508 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 18: NATO summit at the Hague a couple of weeks ago, 509 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 18: when NATO managed to get all its members to a 510 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 18: grade of five percent spending by twenty thirty. Well, we've 511 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 18: already seen just in the last couple of days the 512 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 18: French president Arena, and additional just over twelve and a 513 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 18: half billion New Zealand dollars and extra military spending. Now 514 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 18: that's going to come in over the next two years, 515 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 18: so that's three years early. He will of course be 516 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 18: pleased about seeing that. We've also seen the Germans put 517 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,439 Speaker 18: up more money. But I think there's more to it 518 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 18: than that hand. I mean what we've been hearing not 519 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 18: just from the French President of Crime, but also from 520 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 18: the German Defense ministry saying that you know that it 521 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 18: is the end of this if you like the Cold War, 522 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 18: the end of the Cold War when everyone was sort 523 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 18: of disarming, that there is now a threat, and we're 524 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 18: hearing there's sorts of words I didn't think i'd ever hear, 525 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 18: but you hear about them saying that peace has never 526 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 18: been so threatened in Europe as it is now, that 527 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 18: this type of re engagement on the military has to 528 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 18: come because there is long term risks at stake here, 529 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 18: and that means you know, of course, Vladimir Putin has 530 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 18: said that France is his longest biggest enemy. So yeah, 531 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 18: on the one hand, Trump, we'll see, Yeah, this extra 532 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 18: spending is good. On the other hand, the threat is there. 533 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 18: It is really there, and it's not just that military searcher. 534 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,679 Speaker 18: We're hearing more and more this the information the cyber 535 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 18: war that we're getting from the Russians. It is constantly 536 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 18: bombarding European society. So you try might be pleased, but 537 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 18: these measures are now being put in place, extra spending, 538 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 18: extra manpower, because that's now considered it's needed. 539 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's completely necessary. Casterine, look after yourself. Thank you, 540 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 3: Catherine Field, France correspondent, and listen back back home here 541 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 3: we've been talking about the politics. I have some trepidation, 542 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 3: as I imagine you do too. The reason that the 543 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 3: politics were wound up and put into Tippoo Kinger was 544 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 3: at least in part because they weren't doing that well financially. 545 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 3: I don't think it was a great idea, you know, 546 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 3: to pookinga. But the problem, the status quo wasn't great. 547 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 3: Now we're going back to the status quad. We're going 548 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 3: to talk to Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology after seven. 549 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 3: They can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think 550 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,719 Speaker 3: out of the last eight years they had seven deficits, 551 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 3: which isn't great. So we'll ask them how they avoid 552 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 3: the same situation if we're going back to that. Nine 553 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 3: away from seven. 554 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 2: Heather Dupercy Allen on the my casking Breakfast with Bailey's 555 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 2: Real Estate News Dogs. 556 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 3: They'd be morning, Heather. We were in Middlemore A and 557 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 3: E last night. Two hundred patients were waiting. Only two 558 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 3: doctors were available, was around a six hour wait, which 559 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 3: is just oh horrific, horrific to spend your evening like that. Actually, 560 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 3: a friend of mine. Funnily enough, I didn't even think 561 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 3: about this friend of mine. It was playing hockey yesterday. 562 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 3: She text me at twenty past three this morning. She said, 563 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 3: you're the only person I know who'll be awake right now. 564 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 3: She said, do you remember blah blah when we were 565 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 3: young and we were drunk and blah blah? And she 566 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 3: told me, said, never mind, you don't need that story. 567 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 3: But anyway, she had been playing hockey last night. Friend 568 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 3: had been one of the one of the team members 569 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 3: had been clobbed with a ball or something like that 570 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 3: needed stitches. Took it to the A and E. Got 571 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 3: clobbed at eight thirty, got the stitches at one thirty, 572 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,239 Speaker 3: got home at twenty past three or something like that. 573 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 3: So everybody was out at it. It was the place 574 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 3: to be, A and E five away from seven. 575 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 1: Well, the ins and the outs. 576 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 2: It's the fizz with business fiber, take your business productivity 577 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 2: to the next level. 578 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 3: Grocery supplier costs increased in the month of June, according 579 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 3: to Infometrics food Stuff's New Zealand Grocery supplier cost Index, 580 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 3: but it is not out of line with what you 581 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 3: might expect for winter. The data show an average two 582 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 3: point one percent increase in what suppliers charged compared to 583 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 3: June of last year. Higher dairy costs, yep, they led 584 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 3: the way for a lot of the price increases. The 585 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 3: average chilled food supplier cost was up four point three percent, 586 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 3: which is the highest since mid twenty twenty three. Frozen 587 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 3: food costs were up two percent. That's compared to just 588 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 3: zero point six percent in May, and that's thanks to 589 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 3: the fact that we were buying more pastries and desserts 590 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 3: from the frozen section of one goes in your pastries 591 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 3: is and desserts. That's right, your dairy, chocolate items noodle 592 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 3: costs are also up. So despite the price of dairy 593 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 3: and koco at the moment, we still cannot get enough 594 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 3: of the chocolate. Month or month. Nearly four thy six 595 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 3: hundred products increased in costs, which is again the highly 596 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 3: highest monthly talent tally since mid twenty twenty three. But 597 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 3: you can kind of offset it by the fact that 598 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 3: the month of June had more mondays which is when 599 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 3: the cost changes generally come into effect. How about that 600 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 3: now Over in Australia, I don't know if you're aware 601 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 3: of this, but over in Australia there's been something of 602 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,360 Speaker 3: quite the national debate about the German backpacker who got 603 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 3: lost in the outback and then got rescued after twelve days, 604 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 3: and everybody wanted to know, well, why do you leave 605 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 3: your car because your car had water in it, and 606 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 3: your car had food in it, and your car had 607 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 3: clothes in it, all of which you need to be 608 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 3: able to survive in the outback.

She says, what happened She had 611 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 3: a crash. I think the car fell down a bank 612 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 3: or something like that. Anyway, in the crash, got herself 613 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 3: a head knock, was a little bit do lally, and 614 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 3: in the state of confusion from the head knock, she 615 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 3: walked away from her car and then by the time 616 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 3: she came to had no idea where the car was now. 617 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 3: She was last seen June twenty ninth on the CCTV 618 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 3: Gone since then.

Look, we were 660 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 16: really invested in the move to te Pekinger and and 661 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:38,479 Speaker 16: wholeheartedly put ourself forward for the changes there. But as 662 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 16: soon as the announcement was made around the potential to 663 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 16: be standalone or federated, our community and our industries were 664 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 16: really clear on where they expected an MIT to be, 665 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 16: which was to be standalone, so we focused very strongly 666 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 16: on there and worked really hard to be in the position. 667 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 3: So we are Olivia, how are you guys going to 668 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 3: avoid not running more deficits? What have you changed? 669 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 16: So we are lucky enough. Our programs that we run, 670 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 16: we run quite a tight stopping and starting a programs 671 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 16: and been very lean on all of our support functions 672 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 16: with quite a small politech, so any excess we'll hit 673 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 16: our bottom line. So we're pleased to say that we 674 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 16: will have a surplus this year for the first time 675 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 16: in quite a long time. As you've touched on, but 676 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 16: it is around being efficient, being a very lean structure, 677 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 16: and focusing very strongly on our learners and the teachers 678 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 16: that teach to them. 679 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 3: Good luck with that, Olivia, Thanks for your time. Olivia Hall, 680 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 3: Executive director of Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology, ten past seven. 681 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: Ever for sel So. 682 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 3: Donald Trump has announced his big move against Russia Putin. 683 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 3: He's given Putin fifty days to end the war or 684 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 3: he's going to hit Pusan with tariffs, and then any 685 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 3: country trading with Russia will be here with secondary tariffs 686 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 3: up to one hundred percent. Also, Donald Trump has given 687 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 3: the ok for offensive weapons to be given to Ukraine. 688 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 3: Robert Patman is an international relations expert at Otago University, 689 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 3: Mourning Robert morning Heller, is this going to make a difference. 690 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 19: I think it will make a big difference to them 691 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 19: raw the Ukrainians. But I think it will make a 692 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 19: difference because the onus is on speed, amongst other things. 693 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 19: Mister Trump, who met with the NATO Sectary General Mark Ruter, 694 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 19: confirmed there's an arrangement where the America where the Europeans 695 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 19: will immediately transfer about seventeen Patriot These are defensive anti 696 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 19: missile systems. These will be transferred quickly to the Ukrainians, 697 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 19: possibly through Germany, and those replacements will the Europeans will 698 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 19: be backfilled, as the Americans call it, by American equipment, 699 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 19: and the Europeans are paying for this. Yeah, and the 700 00:33:55,040 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 19: Europeans are really keen to give the Ukraine's much greater resilience, 701 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 19: both from the threat from the Skies but also on 702 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 19: the ground. I didn't pick up the point that you 703 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 19: made about offensive equipment. So far, much of it has 704 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 19: been characterized as the defensive, defensive. 705 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 3: Do you think fifty days is too long a lead 706 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,479 Speaker 3: in time and then that gives Poosian heaps of times 707 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,240 Speaker 3: to just go really hard on Ukraine or Stall. 708 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 15: Yes, I do. 709 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 19: I think it's far too late, and you know time 710 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 19: is vital in this situation. But it may mean that 711 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 19: Germany in particular is prepared to make offensive weaponry available. 712 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,760 Speaker 19: And there's no doubt about it. The Ukrainians are striking 713 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 19: through drones largely multiple sites in Russia, and there are 714 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,880 Speaker 19: clear signs of concern now in the Kremlin about what 715 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 19: has been a tremendous u turn by Trump. 716 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 3: Okay, so all in all, all in all, do you 717 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 3: think this might give Trump Putin rather pause to rethink 718 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:03,439 Speaker 3: this war. 719 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 19: I don't think he can. He faces tough options. He 720 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,320 Speaker 19: can't given the casualties Russia. Russia's sustained more than a 721 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:17,240 Speaker 19: million casualties trying to invade a neighbor. If he whipped 722 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 19: draws and his authority regime will probably be overthrown. So 723 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 19: he's got to hang in there and hope that his 724 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:29,400 Speaker 19: perseverance will pay off and the Europeans will get demoralized 725 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 19: and mister Trump will gain change his mind. He is 726 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:33,720 Speaker 19: capable of changing his minds. 727 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 3: Most likely way this plays out in your mind, Robert. 728 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,239 Speaker 19: I have always thought that Ukraine will gain the upper 729 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 19: hand as time goes on, because small powers, which are 730 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 19: determined to defend their own territory can defeat bigger ones. 731 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 19: We only have to think of Vietnam, the Soviet Union, Afghanistan, 732 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 19: and of course the US in the Iraq. Great powers 733 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 19: can be defeated by smaller ones, and I don't think 734 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 19: this will be an exception in the. 735 00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: Long run, Robert. 736 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 3: Thanks for you expertise. Robert Patman, sort of international relations 737 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:02,240 Speaker 3: at Otago University. 738 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 1: Ever do to see her. 739 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 3: I'm in Australia at the moment. My sister's husband has 740 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 3: just been in hospital over here with pneumonia. I just 741 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,359 Speaker 3: thought i'd let you know that the health system here 742 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,440 Speaker 3: in Australia is no better, if not worse, ramping for 743 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,759 Speaker 3: hours at hospital. Not him, but others are ramped. He 744 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 3: was in a and e for two nights. Jay's waiting 745 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:20,840 Speaker 3: for a ward bed in ward for two days and 746 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 3: then same time. It's not all roses and honey in Australia. 747 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 3: Thank you for letting us know. I guess they have 748 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 3: winter two just like we do. Do you know what's weird? 749 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,720 Speaker 3: I think this is weird. What is weird is how weird? 750 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,800 Speaker 3: Judith Collins as being about that satellite that went missing. 751 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,760 Speaker 3: Now you know what I'm talking about, right, This happened 752 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,399 Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago, a couple of three weeks 753 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 3: ago or something like that. The methane satellite, the one 754 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 3: that we're pumped about, I think about twenty nine to 755 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 3: thirty two million or something like that into it went up. 756 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 3: It was supposed to measure all the methane nark on, 757 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 3: the nark on all the oil fields and the gas 758 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,400 Speaker 3: fields and stuff that are leaking gas and blah blah blah. Anyway, 759 00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 3: it's spun off into space and no one knows where 760 00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 3: it is. And I would have thought, well there that 761 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 3: that thus ends the story, doesn't it. You've seen something 762 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 3: into space, there is a chance that it will float off. 763 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,720 Speaker 3: Space is a big place. But now Judith Collins doesn't 764 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,360 Speaker 3: want to answer any questions about this, and of course 765 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,320 Speaker 3: we have questions, rightly so, because there's you know, tens 766 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 3: of millions of taxpayer dollars that have been put into it. 767 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 3: She repeatedly refuses to answer questions. Has referred all questions, 768 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,760 Speaker 3: including questions about whether the government will hold a review, 769 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 3: to the Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment, which is 770 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 3: where the Space Agency is housed. Now that's one way 771 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 3: to make you wonder what's going on here, isn't it? 772 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,360 Speaker 3: If the minister won't answer questions, all of a sudden, 773 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 3: you go, is there a mystery I should be interested in? 774 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 13: Now? 775 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:39,839 Speaker 11: It's your classic alien cover up, isn't it. 776 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 3: If this was Donald Trump's America, they'd be all over 777 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,839 Speaker 3: it like a rash over the Epstein files. I am 778 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 3: now fascinated, and now I actually want the questions to 779 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 3: be answered, and I didn't before. So that's backfiring spectacularly. 780 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 2: Quarter past the mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on 781 00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 2: iHeartRadio Howard by Newstalk. 782 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,200 Speaker 3: There is a little bit of drama brewing over speed 783 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 3: limits and one of the councils. I'm going to run 784 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 3: you through that before the end of this hour. It's 785 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 3: eighteen past seven. Now it looks like the avocado industry 786 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,400 Speaker 3: is bouncing back from a few tough years. Rabobanks just 787 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,400 Speaker 3: got a report out. It shows an increase of around 788 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,839 Speaker 3: two million trays for the twenty four to twenty five 789 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,239 Speaker 3: season compared to the previous season. Brad Siebert is New 790 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 3: Zealand Avocado CEO and is with us morning. Brad Moryan, Hell, 791 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:26,279 Speaker 3: are you feeling optimistic? 792 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 20: We are, and we've got I guess all the ingredients 793 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,319 Speaker 20: there for a better season ahead. So the optimism is 794 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 20: probably the word i'd use. 795 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, what are the other ingredients? 796 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 20: We've had some better growing conditions. Obviously a couple of 797 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 20: storms in the last few years have already dampened some 798 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 20: of that optimism and some of our export volumes and 799 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:53,280 Speaker 20: the returns for growth. So better growing conditions and hopefully 800 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 20: an expanded market, global market. 801 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:56,279 Speaker 4: Yeah. 802 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 3: Have you managed to replace the crops that were lost 803 00:38:58,280 --> 00:38:59,879 Speaker 3: in cyclone Gabriel a couple of years ago. 804 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,880 Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean individual grows are impacted differently, and some 805 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,400 Speaker 20: it's the crop that's impacted versus the trees themselves. Often 806 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 20: so those are bounced back and growth of the opportunity 807 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,840 Speaker 20: if they look after their crop to get a good volume. 808 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,760 Speaker 3: Why is the export price still as low as. 809 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:20,880 Speaker 1: It is. 810 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:26,760 Speaker 20: Global competition? It's purely that we've got over thirty countries 811 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,720 Speaker 20: now producing avocados. We've got a bit of a unique 812 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,799 Speaker 20: window off season to many of our offshore competitors, but 813 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 20: we still compete with the likes of Peru and some 814 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 20: other large producers in some of our key markets. 815 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, do you think that that's the foreseeable future? Is 816 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 3: it going to be depressed by that competition? 817 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,400 Speaker 20: Well, the world's growing avocados, but we grow the best avocados, 818 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 20: So we're trying to differentiate ourselves and really make sure 819 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:55,400 Speaker 20: that people understand that there's something unique about New Zealand. 820 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 3: Right, tell me what's going on. I noticed this year 821 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 3: for I think I think the fo year that I 822 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 3: can really remember that we have had avocados on the 823 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 3: shelf all year in New Zealand and they haven't been crappy. 824 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 3: That actually been quite good. What's going on? 825 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,239 Speaker 20: I agree it's exciting for consumers and we need more 826 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 20: people eating avocados in New Zealand to really support our growths. 827 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,160 Speaker 20: But we harvest for over ten months of the year. 828 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 20: We're a unique crop in that way. We're able to 829 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 20: do that. We don't import avocados, soy avocado purchase is 830 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,520 Speaker 20: from one of our growers, so we have extended our 831 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 20: harvest window to meet export demand. By doing so, it's 832 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 20: allowed us to keep fruit on the shelf. 833 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,239 Speaker 3: Great, okay, so I can look forward to this for 834 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,439 Speaker 3: coming years. What are you doing with your avocado? I'm 835 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 3: still just doing the average to the old classic avocado 836 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 3: on toast. What funky things are you doing? 837 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,719 Speaker 20: You can't be avocado on toast, but I mean a 838 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 20: tagline of ours is amazing anytime, meaning breakfast, lunch or dinner. 839 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,319 Speaker 20: You can add it into your smoothie for lunch and 840 00:40:58,560 --> 00:40:59,840 Speaker 20: have a pretty amazing biogle with it. 841 00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:00,480 Speaker 1: Is well, so. 842 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,080 Speaker 3: There is a staff got on your Brad. Appreciate that, 843 00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:09,799 Speaker 3: Brad Seabert, New Zealand of Accado CEO Ray Chung, Ray Chung, 844 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,600 Speaker 3: this is oh Lord, Wellington City Council. I feel like 845 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 3: that every time. I just pinch the bridge of my 846 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:18,880 Speaker 3: nose and feel aggrieved. Ray Chung has been on stage 847 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 3: last night. He's been complaining. He thinks he's the victim 848 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,000 Speaker 3: of a political attack because of the Tory Fano email. 849 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:25,920 Speaker 3: Let's deal with that. Next seven twenty. 850 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:32,040 Speaker 2: One, The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio 851 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:33,600 Speaker 2: Power by News Talk. 852 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,799 Speaker 3: Seb Heather, what you want to do is you want 853 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,440 Speaker 3: to get your avocado and you want to mash it 854 00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,439 Speaker 3: with boil or baked komita yum. Do you know what 855 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,520 Speaker 3: that is? Food that's good for a baby and for 856 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,400 Speaker 3: an adult at the same time. You can do solids 857 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:47,919 Speaker 3: with your baby on that one. Thanks for the tip. 858 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,839 Speaker 3: I should be doing it. Seven twenty four. Ray Chung 859 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 3: is right that email has been released to undermine his campaign. 860 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,200 Speaker 3: That is not a conspiracy theory. That is a fact. 861 00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 3: We know that because the email was released by Tory 862 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,239 Speaker 3: Farno herself, the subject of the email. She released it 863 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 3: to the Herald so that we could all read about it. 864 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 3: And Andrew Little was then in that story. He spoke 865 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,480 Speaker 3: to the Herald for the original story so that he 866 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,879 Speaker 3: could slam Ray Chung, his mayoral opponent, and we could 867 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,640 Speaker 3: all read about it. So totally, Ray Chung is right. 868 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:16,839 Speaker 3: He is, as he said on the stage last night, 869 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:20,440 Speaker 3: the victim of a blatant political attack. But that's his fault. 870 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 3: There's no one else's fault but raise because there wouldn't 871 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,359 Speaker 3: be an email undermining his campaign if he hadn't sent 872 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,719 Speaker 3: the email in the first place. And actually, I think 873 00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,720 Speaker 3: it is in the best interests of everyone who's voting 874 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,000 Speaker 3: in the Wellington elections. This year that that email has 875 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,480 Speaker 3: been released so that Wellingtonians can understand the character of 876 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,839 Speaker 3: the people that they are voting for. I am surprised 877 00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,360 Speaker 3: that there are professional adults out there who think it 878 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 3: is a good idea to send an email like that 879 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:48,000 Speaker 3: in which you basically defame a colleague. This went beyond gossip, 880 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 3: I mean office gossip. Look, we all know it when 881 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 3: we see it, we all hear it, we indulge in it, 882 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,040 Speaker 3: we shouldn't, But it is quite something else to put 883 00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,840 Speaker 3: it in writing and then send it to your colleagues, 884 00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 3: made much worse by the fact that it is not 885 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:06,399 Speaker 3: just gossip, but it is also sexual gossip. Now, Ray 886 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 3: Chung's campaign, I would say, is over, and instead of 887 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,440 Speaker 3: feeling sorry for himself and wallowing and how bad he 888 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,760 Speaker 3: is being done by other people, he should just consider 889 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,439 Speaker 3: withdrawing from the race at this point. And frankly, every 890 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,360 Speaker 3: Wellington City councilor needs to reflect on this because the 891 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,440 Speaker 3: fact that this kind of email could be sent to 892 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:26,080 Speaker 3: colleagues who then passed it around until it reached Tory 893 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:27,920 Speaker 3: Fano and the media says to me that there is 894 00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:31,759 Speaker 3: a deeply dysfunctional culture in that place. No one comes 895 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,239 Speaker 3: out of this looking good, least of all, Ray Chung, 896 00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,280 Speaker 3: Heather do for see, Allen, we've got the pass results, 897 00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,920 Speaker 3: the pass rates for the NCEEA Co Requisite exam. Now 898 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:42,920 Speaker 3: you'll know this if you've got kids of the sage, right, 899 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,359 Speaker 3: if they're doing the NCEEA, they have to now pass 900 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,960 Speaker 3: this exam, this corequisite. It's compulsory in order to be 901 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 3: able to get the level one or the Level two 902 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:52,920 Speaker 3: or the level three. Man alive. Let me tell you 903 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,360 Speaker 3: the numbers are better, but holy heck, they're not that flash, 904 00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 3: are they. I Mean, look at this, for example, numerousy wee. 905 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 3: Last year we had forty five percent of the kids 906 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,880 Speaker 3: passing the maths. Now, thank god, we've got fifty seven percent. 907 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:09,759 Speaker 3: Fifty seven percent though, that's not flash. And then it's 908 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:11,400 Speaker 3: even worse when you have a look in the lower 909 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 3: decile schools, thirty four percent of those kids are passing it. Anyway, 910 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:17,799 Speaker 3: Erica Stanford's going to be with us after the news 911 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,799 Speaker 3: explained to us why it is. I mean, we can 912 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,319 Speaker 3: kind of figure out probably why things are getting better, 913 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 3: which is that the screws are being put on the 914 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:27,160 Speaker 3: educators and the expectation is that the kids start passing, 915 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:31,920 Speaker 3: but why it's so slow now. Yesterday on the program, 916 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,880 Speaker 3: we talked about that little weird scrum thing that South 917 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,319 Speaker 3: Africa did against Italy at the start of the game. 918 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,760 Speaker 3: You know, the one where where they took the kickoff 919 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,960 Speaker 3: and then instead of actually just doing the proper job 920 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:43,880 Speaker 3: that we used to want to, they basically put them out, 921 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,200 Speaker 3: grabbed it themselves, put themselves off side, force to scrum 922 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,400 Speaker 3: and then try to win the scrum. Might not actually 923 00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,759 Speaker 3: be allowed to do that because you can see that 924 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,440 Speaker 3: it technically can work, but it is A player is 925 00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,840 Speaker 3: not allowed to intentionally infringe on any law of the 926 00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:02,880 Speaker 3: game under section nine point seven of the law book. Anyway, 927 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,719 Speaker 3: Mike Kron, the legendary scrum coach, is going to be 928 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,319 Speaker 3: with us after eight o'clock, so we have a little 929 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,799 Speaker 3: chat because Raisin doesn't mind this. You'll see what Mike 930 00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:27,800 Speaker 3: Kron thinks about it. News is Next. 931 00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:25,960 Speaker 2: Your source of breaking news, challenging opinion, and honest facts 932 00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,920 Speaker 2: and the duper See Ellen on the Mic Hosking Breakfast 933 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:33,240 Speaker 2: with a Vita, Retirement, Communities, Life your Way, News, togs 934 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:33,600 Speaker 2: Head be. 935 00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,000 Speaker 3: Tell you what I've been following kind of with a 936 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,760 Speaker 3: little bit of interest is the case of Greg Wallace, 937 00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,360 Speaker 3: the former host of Master Chef in the in the 938 00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:43,640 Speaker 3: UK who's been sacked. He's the one who who stood 939 00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,920 Speaker 3: inside outside his dressing room with the sock on his 940 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,200 Speaker 3: willy you know, and shouted who anyway and all kinds 941 00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,120 Speaker 3: of behavior like that and then got fired as a result. 942 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,560 Speaker 3: He's not shutting up. I would have set to him 943 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:56,040 Speaker 3: a long time ago, shut up, go away, maybe think 944 00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:57,960 Speaker 3: maybe you can come back in a decade or so. 945 00:45:57,960 --> 00:45:59,960 Speaker 3: But he absolutely is not. Now he's done. What he's 946 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,520 Speaker 3: doing is he's blaming his behavior on the fact that 947 00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,200 Speaker 3: he's a working class man with a direct manner. Speak 948 00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,399 Speaker 3: to Rod a little about that around about an hour's time. 949 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:12,080 Speaker 3: It's twenty two away from eight. That's so we've got 950 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,359 Speaker 3: the NCA corequisite pass rates from last year. They're still 951 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,439 Speaker 3: a little bit better, or they are a little bit better, 952 00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,040 Speaker 3: but they're still not flash. These are the exams, by 953 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,279 Speaker 3: the way, that students must pass in order to win 954 00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:26,280 Speaker 3: to pass their year level. Last year, fifty seven percent 955 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,960 Speaker 3: of students past maths that's up from forty five percent, 956 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,640 Speaker 3: sixty one past reading that's up from fifty eight percent, 957 00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,440 Speaker 3: and fifty writing Stade roughly the same fifty five percent. 958 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:39,279 Speaker 3: Eric of Stanford is the Education Minister morning Erica coome 959 00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,560 Speaker 3: on a What do you reckon is causing this improvement? 960 00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,960 Speaker 21: Well, we've got a real focus on teaching the basics brilliantly. 961 00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:51,000 Speaker 21: These are the basics, and I've asked schools to make 962 00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,759 Speaker 21: sure that they're focusing on those basics an hour a day, 963 00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:56,560 Speaker 21: getting rid of cell phones, making sure that we're teaching 964 00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,680 Speaker 21: a world leading curriculum. We did put a bit of 965 00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,160 Speaker 21: funding in last year to help schools those schools that 966 00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:04,600 Speaker 21: we identified with the greatest number of students who needed support. 967 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 21: But really this has been schools and principles and teachers 968 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,080 Speaker 21: who have really done some huge heavy lifting in the 969 00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,080 Speaker 21: last year to get these kids across the line. And 970 00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,920 Speaker 21: I know that the results are still I've got a 971 00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:21,160 Speaker 21: long way to go, but man, those maths results have skyrocketed, 972 00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,080 Speaker 21: and I'm extraordinarily proud of our teachers for the work 973 00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:24,799 Speaker 21: they've done and the kids for the work they've put on. 974 00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,799 Speaker 3: The teaching the basics brilliantly. Thing is a fair point, 975 00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,840 Speaker 3: but that is really a primary school, isn't it. And 976 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,000 Speaker 3: there hasn't been enough time for this to filter through 977 00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,160 Speaker 3: all the way to the upper levels of secondary school. 978 00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,840 Speaker 3: So is this more likely just an expectation thing and 979 00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:38,080 Speaker 3: are getting used to the corequisite? 980 00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,560 Speaker 21: Oh, look, it's probably a little bit. But I think 981 00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:45,480 Speaker 21: the biggest the biggest contributor is the teachers who have 982 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,920 Speaker 21: put in a huge amount of effort. I was chatting 983 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:51,959 Speaker 21: with some of the members of the Spans Secondary School 984 00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,319 Speaker 21: Principals Association last night and they said to me, it 985 00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,279 Speaker 21: is the teachers who have moved heaven and earth in 986 00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:02,440 Speaker 21: the last year since it's become compulsory. Last year was 987 00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,680 Speaker 21: the first year and because of the government's mandate, you know, 988 00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:10,120 Speaker 21: we want everybody to be improving achievement. We are focused 989 00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,040 Speaker 21: on literacy and numerous in maths like no government has 990 00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:16,880 Speaker 21: ever been before to this level and they've really up 991 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,360 Speaker 21: their game and that has been made the difference. 992 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,359 Speaker 3: Hey, but what we do, What do we do about 993 00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,440 Speaker 3: these lower deaths our schools? Thirty four percent passing maths 994 00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,080 Speaker 3: is really quite worrying. 995 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,200 Speaker 21: Well, there's a couple of things. As you've mentioned, our 996 00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,880 Speaker 21: focus hugely is on primary and intermediate with our brand 997 00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,280 Speaker 21: new year by year knowledge rich curriculum, with our professional 998 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,400 Speaker 21: learning and development. That's going into teachers. The eight hundred 999 00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,200 Speaker 21: and sixty thousand maths books and textbooks and workbooks and 1000 00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,600 Speaker 21: teacher guides we sent out last year structured literacy being mandated, 1001 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,719 Speaker 21: that will start to filter throw. It's already having results. 1002 00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,879 Speaker 21: It will start to filter through. In the meantime, though, 1003 00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,919 Speaker 21: I've got this cohort of children who are in upper 1004 00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,880 Speaker 21: primary and intermediate, which is why we did the math trial. 1005 00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:00,280 Speaker 21: We did four times a week tutoring of our intermediate kids. 1006 00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,960 Speaker 21: Next year that goes out to thirty four thousand kids, 1007 00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,320 Speaker 21: so we know we've got this group in the middle. 1008 00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,279 Speaker 21: We've got to put a huge amount of resource in. 1009 00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:09,720 Speaker 21: We put that in the budget so we will wrap 1010 00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:13,479 Speaker 21: support around them. Now that low dear soul figure. That's 1011 00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:17,280 Speaker 21: what keeps me going every single day. Those young people 1012 00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:19,719 Speaker 21: need an education to change their lives, and when they 1013 00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,280 Speaker 21: walk into their local school, they need to be getting 1014 00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:27,240 Speaker 21: the best education. That's why we're getting this consistency across 1015 00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,800 Speaker 21: the board with the curriculum, the way that we teach, 1016 00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,759 Speaker 21: the professional learning and development, the resources. Doesn't matter which 1017 00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:36,080 Speaker 21: school you walk into these days, it is the same 1018 00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:38,600 Speaker 21: level of education, and that's what we're focused on those 1019 00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:40,600 Speaker 21: kids to make sure we change their lives. 1020 00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,000 Speaker 3: Hey, so about a month ago you hosted Sir Nick 1021 00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,480 Speaker 3: Gibb in the country. Now, Surnick Gibb is obviously the 1022 00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:47,640 Speaker 3: chap who turned education around much in the same way 1023 00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:49,239 Speaker 3: as you're trying to do, but for the UK a 1024 00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:51,319 Speaker 3: few you know, a couple of decades back. Did he 1025 00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,040 Speaker 3: teach you anything you didn't know. 1026 00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:55,759 Speaker 16: He did? 1027 00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:58,799 Speaker 21: He's been an excellent mentor. Funnily enough, we read the 1028 00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:02,800 Speaker 21: same book on holiday that changed our perspective on education 1029 00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,719 Speaker 21: ten years apart. It's called The Schools We Need and 1030 00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,120 Speaker 21: Why we Don't Have Them by Edie Hirsh. He's American, 1031 00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:10,520 Speaker 21: he's ninety seven. We both just went to Florida recently 1032 00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,640 Speaker 21: to meet him and speak at one of his conferences. 1033 00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:17,760 Speaker 21: Keynoting one of his conferences, the thing that I suppose 1034 00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,880 Speaker 21: Nick taught me was that the changes that I'm putting 1035 00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,560 Speaker 21: in place, I know will make a difference because they've 1036 00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,239 Speaker 21: worked there, they've worked in other countries. But the thing 1037 00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,279 Speaker 21: that Nick told me when I talked to him, he 1038 00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:32,600 Speaker 21: said to me, never give up and never compromise. Keep going. Now, 1039 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,279 Speaker 21: I remember a year ago when people were putting a 1040 00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:36,560 Speaker 21: lot of pressure on me to get rid of the 1041 00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,400 Speaker 21: correquisites because it was meaning that young people may not 1042 00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,640 Speaker 21: get there n CEA, and I held my ground and said, no, 1043 00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,480 Speaker 21: we're not lowering the level. We're not getting rid of it. 1044 00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,360 Speaker 21: These young people need to be literate and numerate and 1045 00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:51,080 Speaker 21: we will do whatever it takes. And we are doing that. 1046 00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:54,560 Speaker 3: Good stuff. Erica, Thanks for your time, Erica Stanford, Education Minister. 1047 00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:55,800 Speaker 3: If you want to know the name of the book, 1048 00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,480 Speaker 3: the book is the schools we need and why we 1049 00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:00,360 Speaker 3: don't have them. I think we're all going to probably 1050 00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:01,840 Speaker 3: go and have a read of that if we have kids. 1051 00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,879 Speaker 3: By the way, on the fifty days that Russia has 1052 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:10,760 Speaker 3: been given by Donald Trump, this gives the Kriminin plenty 1053 00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,239 Speaker 3: of time to be able to do whatever it does. 1054 00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:13,440 Speaker 15: Right. 1055 00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:15,439 Speaker 3: This is the argument for fifty days being too long. 1056 00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:17,799 Speaker 3: They can send another at the rate that they're going 1057 00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:19,600 Speaker 3: with the drones and the missiles and stuff, they can 1058 00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:23,759 Speaker 3: send another twenty five thousand drones and missiles into Ukraine 1059 00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:27,200 Speaker 3: in the next fifty days, so possibly a little bit 1060 00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:29,400 Speaker 3: bit of a long runway for Putin. I want to 1061 00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:31,000 Speaker 3: talk to you. Listen, We've got to talk about AI 1062 00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:33,239 Speaker 3: also want to talk to you about something to do 1063 00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:34,960 Speaker 3: with climate change. Next seventeen away. 1064 00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:40,200 Speaker 2: From eight, The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio. 1065 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:41,799 Speaker 1: Now ad By News talks at me. 1066 00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,279 Speaker 3: The Blues. Remember we started the program talking about the 1067 00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,719 Speaker 3: Blues potentially leaving Eden Park going to Mount Smart. We're 1068 00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:50,239 Speaker 3: going to talk to the boss of the Blues before 1069 00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,520 Speaker 3: the end of this hour. Right now, it's thirteen away 1070 00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:56,520 Speaker 3: from it. Now, little interesting observation about climate change reporting 1071 00:51:56,600 --> 00:52:00,520 Speaker 3: this morning, Ian Wishart, Remember Ian Wishart. He this is 1072 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:02,840 Speaker 3: not to beat up on RNZ at all. RNZ is 1073 00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:04,759 Speaker 3: just the example that's being used in this. But he 1074 00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:08,640 Speaker 3: heard an RNZ story about climate change is Radio New 1075 00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,080 Speaker 3: Zealand and he didn't like what he heard. He thought 1076 00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:13,520 Speaker 3: it was inaccurate. So he complained to two different watchdogs 1077 00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:17,880 Speaker 3: got completely different outcomes from that complaint. So what the 1078 00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,200 Speaker 3: story was, It was about the fact that Hamilton had 1079 00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:23,520 Speaker 3: been having this amazing run of really hot days. It 1080 00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:25,920 Speaker 3: had like maybe about two weeks or something like that 1081 00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:29,040 Speaker 3: of days that had about twenty seven degrees And what 1082 00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:31,640 Speaker 3: the story sets It had a headline along the lines 1083 00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:36,000 Speaker 3: of smashed records, right, and then it quoted a met 1084 00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:39,640 Speaker 3: Service forecaster and climate scientist called Luke Harrington, who said, 1085 00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:43,200 Speaker 3: the last ten days, well actually now eleven have been 1086 00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:47,400 Speaker 3: the hottest continuous ten or eleven day stretch. Certainly of 1087 00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:49,920 Speaker 3: the records that I have available, they go back to 1088 00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,640 Speaker 3: sort of the early nineteen nineties, but I think if 1089 00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,239 Speaker 3: you went further back in time as well, they'd still 1090 00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:57,560 Speaker 3: remain the worst on record. So the impression that you 1091 00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,120 Speaker 3: get from that is geez. Even the experts are saying 1092 00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:03,319 Speaker 3: Hamilton has never been this hot for this long. Well 1093 00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,200 Speaker 3: Ian Wushard took issue with that and said, actually, that's 1094 00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:10,400 Speaker 3: not true. Historic newspaper records revealed that Hamilton endured an 1095 00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:16,240 Speaker 3: almost unbroken streak of sixty two days of above twenty 1096 00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:20,719 Speaker 3: seven degrees in the summer of nineteen thirty four thirty five. 1097 00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:25,040 Speaker 3: So he complained to both the BSA Broadcasting Standards Authority 1098 00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:29,240 Speaker 3: and also the Media Council about this. Broadcasting Standards Authority 1099 00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,440 Speaker 3: had no issue. They were like, no problem with what 1100 00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,920 Speaker 3: aaron Z has said here because there's no breach of 1101 00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:38,600 Speaker 3: the accuracy standard because the language used likely might have 1102 00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,560 Speaker 3: probably I think kind of gave them a bit a 1103 00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:43,319 Speaker 3: regal room like they thought it was the case, but 1104 00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:45,280 Speaker 3: not really the case, so they kind of got away 1105 00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,520 Speaker 3: with it. So BSA was like, no problem at all. 1106 00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,960 Speaker 3: Media Council was a little bit tougher. The Media Council 1107 00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:54,880 Speaker 3: said the website report they didn't mind too much, but 1108 00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,759 Speaker 3: it was the headline they took issue with, which was 1109 00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:01,399 Speaker 3: the smashed records thing. They are held it anyway. As 1110 00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:04,120 Speaker 3: a result of that, aren Z had to change the story. 1111 00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:04,279 Speaker 18: Now. 1112 00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:07,719 Speaker 3: It's an interesting observation, isn't it that two different watchdogs 1113 00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:12,040 Speaker 3: will have two completely different ways of interpreting whether something 1114 00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:14,480 Speaker 3: is accurate or not. But also I think it is 1115 00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:18,320 Speaker 3: much a personally. Personally, I find it much more interesting 1116 00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:20,960 Speaker 3: that we are we have experts who are prepared to 1117 00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:24,279 Speaker 3: just sort of declare that something is the worst thing 1118 00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:27,239 Speaker 3: we have ever seen and actually not gone back as 1119 00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:29,360 Speaker 3: far as possible and found out whether it truly is. 1120 00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:31,320 Speaker 3: Because I feel like the nineteen thirty four to thirty 1121 00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:34,640 Speaker 3: five summer completely changes things, don't you think Now I 1122 00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:36,640 Speaker 3: said I was going to talk about AI. I'm probably 1123 00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:38,200 Speaker 3: going to run out, but we need to talk. Have 1124 00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,320 Speaker 3: you heard of the Velvet Sundown? Have you heard of them? 1125 00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:42,720 Speaker 3: We're going to talk about that absolutely have to, because 1126 00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,280 Speaker 3: if you haven't, this opens up a can of worms 1127 00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,400 Speaker 3: when it comes to AI. So hopefully I get a 1128 00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:49,480 Speaker 3: chance to do this very shortly. Right now.

We over 1148 00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:42,240 Speaker 17: the last few years. I think one of the changes 1149 00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:44,719 Speaker 17: that is happening in rugby is becoming far more fan 1150 00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:48,680 Speaker 17: centric and that's a good thing, right. I heard you 1151 00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,839 Speaker 17: one a log there this morning and I agree with 1152 00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:55,240 Speaker 17: a lot of it. And but to be the sport 1153 00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:56,719 Speaker 17: we want to be, we've got to talk to our 1154 00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,440 Speaker 17: fans and find out what is going to motivate them. 1155 00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:04,000 Speaker 17: We've seen open broadcast numbers, which is great, and we've 1156 00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:07,920 Speaker 17: seen a slight increase in crowds over the last three years, 1157 00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:10,680 Speaker 17: but we want to accelerate that now. It may not be. 1158 00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:13,759 Speaker 17: It may not be moving from Eden Park that is 1159 00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:15,920 Speaker 17: the answer, but it could be and we've got to 1160 00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:17,080 Speaker 17: investigatile revenues. 1161 00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,160 Speaker 3: Have you asked fans why they don't want to come 1162 00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:20,560 Speaker 3: to the park whatever the park is. 1163 00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:24,799 Speaker 17: Yes, yes, we have over the over the years and 1164 00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:28,720 Speaker 17: we do every year our members we have and largely 1165 00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:32,719 Speaker 17: the team results, which which you would argue in the 1166 00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,880 Speaker 17: last few years as we've made finals, I mean we 1167 00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,120 Speaker 17: sold the final out in three years. I heard You've 1168 00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:40,319 Speaker 17: got to be very careful in a situation like this. 1169 00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:45,080 Speaker 17: It's easy to look at specific fixtures, but the fact 1170 00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:47,520 Speaker 17: is the crowds are that have been on the increase 1171 00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:51,480 Speaker 17: is twenty six thousand there for the Chiefs sold out final. 1172 00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:55,560 Speaker 17: What they're looking for is team performance first and then 1173 00:56:55,640 --> 00:57:01,720 Speaker 17: followed by that match experience. Are food and beverage, sound system, 1174 00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,600 Speaker 17: transport are all taken into account and have all been 1175 00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:09,040 Speaker 17: part of the questions that we're asking people to come 1176 00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:09,680 Speaker 17: back to us on. 1177 00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:12,800 Speaker 3: So if you're if you're just serious about looking around, 1178 00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:15,279 Speaker 3: is it wrong for me to deduce that you're doing 1179 00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:17,760 Speaker 3: this actually to pressure Eden Park for a better deal, 1180 00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:19,720 Speaker 3: like you have no plans to move, You just want 1181 00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:21,160 Speaker 3: a better you want to screw a better deal out 1182 00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:21,720 Speaker 3: of them. 1183 00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:27,480 Speaker 17: No, no, no, no, no, We're we're genuinely asking our fans. 1184 00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:30,680 Speaker 17: I just think we've got to be careful that a 1185 00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:34,000 Speaker 17: domestic sport or a club sport isn't trying to solve 1186 00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:41,200 Speaker 17: what is potentially national stadium issues here. And we're we're 1187 00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:45,720 Speaker 17: committed to staying at Eden Park. That's what people deem 1188 00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:49,000 Speaker 17: as important to them. So no, that's not the case. Okay, 1189 00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,000 Speaker 17: can I ask ask these questions? 1190 00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:53,440 Speaker 3: Andrew? I got the best idea that I had pitched 1191 00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:55,960 Speaker 3: to me was actually, what you guys should do is 1192 00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,880 Speaker 3: take the franchise around the province.

We often we 1199 00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:17,680 Speaker 17: play our pre seasons at Takapoona.

It's amazing how things do come floating 1262 01:00:57,880 --> 01:00:59,400 Speaker 15: back from the back of the brain to the throne 1263 01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:00,560 Speaker 15: of the brain, so to speak. 1264 01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:03,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, relive it all again. I'll tell you what 1265 01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:06,160 Speaker 3: I found fascinating about reading parts of your book is 1266 01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:08,280 Speaker 3: we got your tips from What made you think that 1267 01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:09,760 Speaker 3: you should go to the ballet. 1268 01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:12,439 Speaker 12: Yeah. 1269 01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:16,280 Speaker 15: Well, to be honest, I've never been really interested in 1270 01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:20,280 Speaker 15: the rugby coaching seminars. They left me a bit blend, 1271 01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:22,520 Speaker 15: so to speak. You know, they just showed you a 1272 01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:27,640 Speaker 15: new drill or something. I always had this thirst for knowledge. 1273 01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:29,960 Speaker 15: Still have to be fair because I know I'm not 1274 01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:33,760 Speaker 15: good enough. I know I've got to get better. So 1275 01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:38,040 Speaker 15: you go to other elite sports. I found so ballet, 1276 01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:42,040 Speaker 15: for instance, they have one of the worst records for 1277 01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:45,680 Speaker 15: injury of what we loosely turned turf toe, which is 1278 01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:48,520 Speaker 15: a problem under your big toe from jumping and landing 1279 01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:50,840 Speaker 15: a lot and where you get it. And rugby quite 1280 01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:54,320 Speaker 15: a bit, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere, from playing on 1281 01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:58,080 Speaker 15: hard services, which we do. So I was interested to 1282 01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:01,520 Speaker 15: see how they handle that, and out of that I 1283 01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:05,800 Speaker 15: found a bit of gold about how they prevent that 1284 01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:08,160 Speaker 15: in ballet, which I then passed back on to the 1285 01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:12,840 Speaker 15: medical staff in the All Blacks, and we coached slightly differently. 1286 01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:15,200 Speaker 3: So do you think because you also went and had 1287 01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:18,640 Speaker 3: to look at the sumo wrestlers, did that inform how 1288 01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:19,440 Speaker 3: to pack a scrum? 1289 01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:21,040 Speaker 18: No? 1290 01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:25,480 Speaker 15: No, I went and sat a week there in the 1291 01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:28,120 Speaker 15: sumo wrestling camp. I didn't know what I was looking at. 1292 01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:30,560 Speaker 15: That's the first thing. Don't go in with preconceived ideas, 1293 01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:33,320 Speaker 15: just going with an open mind. And I was lucky 1294 01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:35,480 Speaker 15: enough I was allowed to video because quite often when 1295 01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:40,920 Speaker 15: you go into other places, they are very protective, but 1296 01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:43,880 Speaker 15: in the sumo camp, I was allowed to video, so 1297 01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:46,880 Speaker 15: I videoed them. Every morning they do an hour for 1298 01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:49,680 Speaker 15: the junior boys, then an hour the intermediate guys, and 1299 01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:52,440 Speaker 15: an hour for the senior guys. And I didn't know 1300 01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:54,400 Speaker 15: what I've seen. I would have a clue and I 1301 01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:57,120 Speaker 15: got home. There's got to be something I'm missing, you know, 1302 01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:59,240 Speaker 15: And there must have been. Three months later I went 1303 01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:02,960 Speaker 15: back over the foot and I just found that the 1304 01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:04,640 Speaker 15: last thing they do when they came out of the 1305 01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:07,760 Speaker 15: blocks to attack their opponent is they sort of crunched 1306 01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,360 Speaker 15: their toes into the ground and then at least to explode, 1307 01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:12,840 Speaker 15: and that's what gave them that force and power to 1308 01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:16,160 Speaker 15: get off the mark. And I thought that's pretty interesting. 1309 01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:19,880 Speaker 15: So I brought that back and included that and part 1310 01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:20,480 Speaker 15: of my coaching. 1311 01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:23,640 Speaker 3: Do you think that it doesn't matter what elite sport 1312 01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:25,520 Speaker 3: you go to, but if you are at the elite 1313 01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:27,040 Speaker 3: level there is something to learn? 1314 01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:32,520 Speaker 15: Definitely? Again, I think so long you don't. A lot 1315 01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:34,600 Speaker 15: of places I've gone into they say, well, what are 1316 01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:38,320 Speaker 15: you going there for? I don't know, you know, but 1317 01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:40,560 Speaker 15: I'm sure if you've got an open mind and your 1318 01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:44,200 Speaker 15: look and listen, there will be some bit of goal 1319 01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:46,320 Speaker 15: there for you. You know, Like one week I went 1320 01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:48,919 Speaker 15: into cage fighters for a week and the Gold Coast 1321 01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:51,200 Speaker 15: and came back into the ballet. You know, you couldn't 1322 01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:56,000 Speaker 15: get two more verse sports, but I learned something from both. 1323 01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:58,160 Speaker 3: The impression that I get from you, Mike is that 1324 01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:01,360 Speaker 3: you're all about continue with improvement, right, and you can 1325 01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:03,280 Speaker 3: improve from everywhere and you must always improve? 1326 01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:03,680 Speaker 2: Is not? 1327 01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:05,040 Speaker 3: Is it not exhausting? 1328 01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:08,800 Speaker 15: It can be, but exciting, isn't it? 1329 01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:09,240 Speaker 20: You know? 1330 01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:13,360 Speaker 15: Like, like as I said in the book, the one 1331 01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:16,800 Speaker 15: thing I live off when I'm for myself and for 1332 01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:20,320 Speaker 15: my athletes that I coach, no matter who, learning is 1333 01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:23,160 Speaker 15: motivation and motivation is enjoyment. 1334 01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:23,600 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1335 01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:27,720 Speaker 15: So by doing this you're actually learning, which motivates you. 1336 01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:31,320 Speaker 15: And if you're motivated, you're actually you know, you're enjoying life, 1337 01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:31,600 Speaker 15: aren't you. 1338 01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:35,440 Speaker 3: Now you tell a story about Andrew Hall, and he 1339 01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:37,880 Speaker 3: was not the start you did. You guys were not 1340 01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:40,360 Speaker 3: picking him in the starting lineup, and he came to 1341 01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:42,880 Speaker 3: he got you obviously got on the RAS or something 1342 01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:44,480 Speaker 3: one night and he said to you, why is that? 1343 01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:46,280 Speaker 3: And eventually you told him the truth was that you 1344 01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:48,680 Speaker 3: did not think that he was technically up to it 1345 01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:50,920 Speaker 3: to scrummage with the best in the world. And that 1346 01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:53,520 Speaker 3: changed everything. And after that he actually took some coaching 1347 01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:57,040 Speaker 3: and then improved himself and that after that you learned 1348 01:04:57,240 --> 01:05:00,640 Speaker 3: honesty is is you know, really importan. But do you 1349 01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:04,920 Speaker 3: think honesty is always importantly? Do you always go in 1350 01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:06,600 Speaker 3: and tell people what they need to hear? 1351 01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:08,280 Speaker 12: Yes? 1352 01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:12,320 Speaker 15: At different levels. You've got to know, you, like anything, 1353 01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:14,840 Speaker 15: whether you're coaching someone or whether you're talking to someone, 1354 01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:18,120 Speaker 15: You've got to know who you're talking to. Yeah, and 1355 01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:21,280 Speaker 15: different if you're talking to a ten year old lad 1356 01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:25,360 Speaker 15: or girl to a fifty test all black and you 1357 01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:29,760 Speaker 15: would then you know, do that accordingly. But Andrew I 1358 01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:32,000 Speaker 15: learned so much of him because it was brutal honesty 1359 01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:36,000 Speaker 15: back at me. I was sugarcoating, not giving him that 1360 01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:40,640 Speaker 15: accurate feedback because one is, you know, we had a 1361 01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:44,200 Speaker 15: pretty good friendship, and two is, in all honesty, I 1362 01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:48,720 Speaker 15: didn't really want to confront that situation because it was difficult. 1363 01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:51,480 Speaker 15: People don't It's easier to forget or put something under 1364 01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:55,400 Speaker 15: the carpet than actually confront it. And from that learning 1365 01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:58,800 Speaker 15: that I got from Andrew that night about being honest, 1366 01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:00,560 Speaker 15: and I was letting him down. That's the thing. I 1367 01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:04,120 Speaker 15: was letting the athlete down by not being honest. I 1368 01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:06,919 Speaker 15: found a whole lot easier after that. And quite often 1369 01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:09,080 Speaker 15: when I'm talking to young men or women and I 1370 01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:12,640 Speaker 15: have to give honest, brutal feedback, I told them that story, 1371 01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:16,400 Speaker 15: and I say, you know, if I didn't care about you, 1372 01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:20,840 Speaker 15: I wouldn't be honest. I could bullshit you and pushing 1373 01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:22,360 Speaker 15: out the door, you know, tell you what you want 1374 01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:25,160 Speaker 15: to hear. But because I care about you, because I 1375 01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:28,440 Speaker 15: think you've got a good future, and you deserve my 1376 01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:31,000 Speaker 15: honest answer. Now I'm not saying I'm right by any 1377 01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:34,520 Speaker 15: stretched imagination. I'm just saying what I believe. And then 1378 01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:37,520 Speaker 15: we can work out. I think that's a great starting point. 1379 01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:40,800 Speaker 15: And also getting permission, you know, like when I talk 1380 01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:43,400 Speaker 15: to athletes, you know, and you're going to give some feedback, 1381 01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:47,520 Speaker 15: you know, and it is harsh. Sometimes I'll ask them, 1382 01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:49,560 Speaker 15: you know, how honest. 1383 01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:49,960 Speaker 12: Do you want me to be? 1384 01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:50,320 Speaker 4: You know? 1385 01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:53,040 Speaker 15: One I can sugat it a fair bit in tenally 1386 01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:56,080 Speaker 15: brutally honest, and generally at top level they all say no, no, 1387 01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:57,920 Speaker 15: I want to hear, I want to head exactly. 1388 01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:01,040 Speaker 3: I want to tend so that probably, like you, Mike, 1389 01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:03,680 Speaker 3: they're constantly wanting to improve, aren't they Listen, Hang on 1390 01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:05,240 Speaker 3: there and we'll come back and talk about what's going 1391 01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:07,280 Speaker 3: on with rugby at the moment. Fourteen past eight. 1392 01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:12,440 Speaker 2: The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1393 01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:13,120 Speaker 2: by News. 1394 01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:16,160 Speaker 3: Talks at be right at seventeen past eight, and you're 1395 01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:18,960 Speaker 3: back with Mike Kron, legendary scrum coach. Mike, did you 1396 01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:21,240 Speaker 3: see that thing that the staff has pulled against Italy 1397 01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:22,680 Speaker 3: with the little scrum at the start of the game 1398 01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:23,200 Speaker 3: the other day? 1399 01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:28,400 Speaker 15: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I remember, probably forty years ago, some 1400 01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:31,680 Speaker 15: teams to keep deliberately out on the fall and then 1401 01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:34,200 Speaker 15: go back to a scrum to try and do that. Yeah, 1402 01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:37,439 Speaker 15: I haven't seen that for forty years. Probably SOLRESSI coming 1403 01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:40,080 Speaker 15: up with some ideas dridging them up. Yere. 1404 01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:40,760 Speaker 10: Do you like it? 1405 01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:41,800 Speaker 18: No? 1406 01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:46,200 Speaker 12: We ah, Oh, it's a. 1407 01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:49,560 Speaker 15: Tactic that I just think. I'm sort of a purist. 1408 01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:52,800 Speaker 15: I suppose, you know, I coached that way. I don't like, 1409 01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:57,200 Speaker 15: you know, I just like doing things correctly. I'd find 1410 01:07:57,240 --> 01:07:59,200 Speaker 15: out a wee bit just a bit harsh. You know. 1411 01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:01,880 Speaker 15: It's just play the game it's meant to be played, 1412 01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:02,440 Speaker 15: and get on with it. 1413 01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:04,800 Speaker 3: What do you think of the Blues wanting to move 1414 01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:06,040 Speaker 3: to Mount Smart potentially? 1415 01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:11,240 Speaker 15: Yeah, well, you know, they have very good reasons for it. 1416 01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:14,720 Speaker 15: You know, it's a good field. I mean, I member 1417 01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:19,080 Speaker 15: the or Blacks we trained there. It's a good field, 1418 01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:22,120 Speaker 15: good facility, you know. So I'll certainly have their reasons 1419 01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:26,599 Speaker 15: for it. And Andrew Hall, the boss there, he'll certainly 1420 01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:28,439 Speaker 15: be making good decisions. 1421 01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:31,240 Speaker 3: One part of the reason be that the crowds have 1422 01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:33,320 Speaker 3: dropped off and we just don't get enough people to 1423 01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:34,800 Speaker 3: kind of pack out Eden Park. 1424 01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:38,240 Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, that's probably true, you know, because we have 1425 01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:42,280 Speaker 15: live TV and you've got to drive there. And I 1426 01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:46,479 Speaker 15: found Eden Parks not the easiest place to get to sometimes. Yeah, 1427 01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:48,280 Speaker 15: I'm really looking forward. 1428 01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:50,439 Speaker 3: Sorry, So, Mike, what I was going to say is 1429 01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:52,880 Speaker 3: somebody pitched this idea to me right that what we 1430 01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:54,519 Speaker 3: need to do is we need to make Super Rugby 1431 01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:57,200 Speaker 3: more exciting. And what you're probably going to hate this 1432 01:08:57,240 --> 01:08:59,479 Speaker 3: because you're a scrummn, but what we need to see 1433 01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:02,080 Speaker 3: more is is the running game. So why don't we 1434 01:09:02,160 --> 01:09:04,160 Speaker 3: change the rules to give you greater points for a 1435 01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:06,120 Speaker 3: try that comes off a running game than just pushing 1436 01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:07,760 Speaker 3: over the line. And that way we get more fans 1437 01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:09,400 Speaker 3: because it's engaging. Again, what do you think? 1438 01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:14,360 Speaker 15: No, I probably wouldn't agree with that, but I actually 1439 01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:18,560 Speaker 15: found this year Super Rugby was enjoyable to watch. The 1440 01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:23,919 Speaker 15: stats went up watching and that came about through refereeing 1441 01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:29,120 Speaker 15: being a stricter on people trying to slow the game 1442 01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:34,080 Speaker 15: down intentionally to have a rest for tactics. Yeah, and 1443 01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:37,960 Speaker 15: they made a couple of minor law changes. It was fast. 1444 01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:40,200 Speaker 15: You couldn't get it much fast because the athlete wouldn't 1445 01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:43,040 Speaker 15: be able to survive it. I think you know you're 1446 01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:47,840 Speaker 15: covering you know, eight nine kilometers in a game of 1447 01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:54,160 Speaker 15: repeated speed with collisions. So the ball and playing now 1448 01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:57,280 Speaker 15: is more than what it has been. So I think 1449 01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:00,400 Speaker 15: I think the game itself is a good place. I 1450 01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:03,200 Speaker 15: think the thing is for people to and I'm the 1451 01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:07,760 Speaker 15: same for me. In christ that temporary stadium, I know 1452 01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:09,880 Speaker 15: it was great. It did a good job, but it's 1453 01:10:09,880 --> 01:10:12,040 Speaker 15: the last place I'd want to go on a cold night, 1454 01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:15,080 Speaker 15: whereas the new stadium just getting built. Them all open 1455 01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:17,639 Speaker 15: next year. You know I'll have to get in there. 1456 01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:20,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm in a good stadium.

You 1546 01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:09,960 Speaker 3: heard correctly. He's denying it. She's taken the allegations to 1547 01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:12,320 Speaker 3: the New South Wales Police. They haven't laid any charges, 1548 01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:14,280 Speaker 3: so it seems that what's happened is she's filed the 1549 01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:16,880 Speaker 3: documents herself with a lower court. He's going to have 1550 01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:19,280 Speaker 3: to answer questions about this next time it comes across 1551 01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:21,000 Speaker 3: anybody in the media.

The reporters finally come back 1562 01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:54,360 Speaker 12: on the documentary which it commissioned about living in a 1563 01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:59,400 Speaker 12: town under siege in Gaza, which it was immediately discovered 1564 01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:02,800 Speaker 12: by everybody else that it was larrated by the son 1565 01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:06,040 Speaker 12: of a her mass official and that money actually went 1566 01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:09,880 Speaker 12: to her Mass officials for the making of the film. 1567 01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:13,160 Speaker 12: The film was never shown, or at least it went 1568 01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:18,840 Speaker 12: up online, but it wasn't shown. But you know, such 1569 01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:23,840 Speaker 12: a terrible, terrible error, a commissioning error, but also an 1570 01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:26,720 Speaker 12: error at the very very top of the corporation. And 1571 01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:29,720 Speaker 12: the report, the Independent report has come down on it 1572 01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:33,439 Speaker 12: said that it was, you know, effectively an unforgivable mistake 1573 01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:36,160 Speaker 12: that the BBC should have known what it was doing, 1574 01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:38,840 Speaker 12: didn't know what it was doing, and it has to 1575 01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:41,880 Speaker 12: copy the blame for it. And then in tandem with this, 1576 01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:46,719 Speaker 12: and of course the Jewish lobby and the chief Rabbi 1577 01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:50,800 Speaker 12: and so unjustifiably furious, they've also been in trouble for 1578 01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:57,759 Speaker 12: not having taken action earlier on a reality star, Greg Wallace, 1579 01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:02,320 Speaker 12: who there are now forty five complaints out about his 1580 01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:06,360 Speaker 12: behavior over the last twenty five years and the BBC 1581 01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:09,320 Speaker 12: clearly knew about a lot of them long before it 1582 01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:09,880 Speaker 12: sacked him. 1583 01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:13,439 Speaker 3: What do you make of his excuse, which he's profited 1584 01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:15,479 Speaker 3: in the last I want to say twenty four hours 1585 01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:17,439 Speaker 3: or so, that the reason that he behaved like this 1586 01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:18,759 Speaker 3: is because he's working class. 1587 01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:22,519 Speaker 12: I have some sympathy with it, if i'd absolutely honest, 1588 01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:26,840 Speaker 12: though I don't know the full details of everything he did. 1589 01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:31,320 Speaker 12: There was a comment he was supposedly made which annoyed someone, 1590 01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:35,519 Speaker 12: which was the women working in a chocolate factory were fat. 1591 01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:40,680 Speaker 12: I think some of this I have some sympathy with. 1592 01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:45,679 Speaker 12: He was taken on as the BBC's working class, cheeky 1593 01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:49,160 Speaker 12: chappy and it's a bit like with Russell brand who 1594 01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:53,960 Speaker 12: was taken on for being risky and sexy, and sure enough, 1595 01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:56,640 Speaker 12: he behaved that way and a lot of people were 1596 01:17:56,640 --> 01:17:59,760 Speaker 12: offended by it. You know, so I think he does, 1597 01:18:00,479 --> 01:18:04,000 Speaker 12: But there are further complaints and they seem to be 1598 01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:07,040 Speaker 12: rather more serious. So it's hard to say. 1599 01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:07,639 Speaker 15: Yeah. 1600 01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:10,080 Speaker 3: I mean, because I like you, I have some sympathy 1601 01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:12,360 Speaker 3: for the fact that perhaps across class lines there are 1602 01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:15,320 Speaker 3: different appetites for different kinds of jokes. But the problem 1603 01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:18,840 Speaker 3: what he's been also accused of is just out and 1604 01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:22,160 Speaker 3: out sexual assault. Is that proven? Does he deny it? 1605 01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:22,680 Speaker 18: No? 1606 01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:26,559 Speaker 12: No, he and he insists that the investigation into him 1607 01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:30,040 Speaker 12: cleared him of all of those charges. But he nonetheless 1608 01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:34,240 Speaker 12: and he's also now and rather lost my support for 1609 01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:37,439 Speaker 12: him by saying it's all the consequence of his autism, 1610 01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:42,719 Speaker 12: which I don't buy at all, and he being autistic, 1611 01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:46,360 Speaker 12: for example, makes him frightened of underwear, which is why 1612 01:18:46,439 --> 01:18:48,479 Speaker 12: he once appeared at the door of his dressing room 1613 01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:53,200 Speaker 12: with a sock over his penis. You know, I might 1614 01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:55,960 Speaker 12: try that excluse out myself, but I don't think it'll go. 1615 01:18:56,120 --> 01:18:58,280 Speaker 3: Very far, Rod, because I think we can see, yeah, 1616 01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:00,639 Speaker 3: we see how that ends up, and it is. We'll 1617 01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:02,920 Speaker 3: be talking about you next minute in the disgrace of 1618 01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:03,679 Speaker 3: Rod Little. 1619 01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:05,840 Speaker 13: You will. 1620 01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:08,640 Speaker 3: What about these heat waves that are apparently going to 1621 01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:11,400 Speaker 3: become more frequent in the UK? You guys worried about us? 1622 01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:14,120 Speaker 12: Yeah, I think we are worried. I mean we moved. 1623 01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:16,400 Speaker 12: Me and my wife moved from the south of England 1624 01:19:16,560 --> 01:19:19,840 Speaker 12: four years ago, five years ago because we were sick 1625 01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:23,040 Speaker 12: of the heat, which we were more used to associating 1626 01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:26,280 Speaker 12: with the middle or south of France. You know, it 1627 01:19:26,439 --> 01:19:32,120 Speaker 12: was regularly during summer over thirty two thirty one, and 1628 01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:35,639 Speaker 12: it does seem to be a thing. Sure, it's summer 1629 01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:40,479 Speaker 12: and everyone's you know, remembers fifty years ago one of 1630 01:19:40,520 --> 01:19:42,840 Speaker 12: the best summers we ever had, the summer of seventy six. 1631 01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:47,160 Speaker 12: But it is significantly hotter now and already the first 1632 01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:52,960 Speaker 12: hose pipe bands have been issued by counties Berkshire, Gloucestershire, Hertfordshire. 1633 01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:57,200 Speaker 12: So it's both dry and very very hot, and I 1634 01:19:57,240 --> 01:19:58,840 Speaker 12: think we're just going to have to get used to it. 1635 01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:01,320 Speaker 3: And what about you though, are they more temperate? 1636 01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:03,000 Speaker 12: Yeah, they are more temperate. 1637 01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:03,720 Speaker 3: You know. 1638 01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:07,360 Speaker 12: I live a mile and a half from England's only 1639 01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:11,479 Speaker 12: international ski slope and they've had no snow there for 1640 01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:15,320 Speaker 12: about nine years. Oddly enough to last time they did 1641 01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:18,840 Speaker 12: have snow there, people couldn't get to it. Bits of 1642 01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:23,559 Speaker 12: roads were blocked with snow. So that's the way things 1643 01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:25,840 Speaker 12: work in the North of England. They were afraid Rod. 1644 01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:28,360 Speaker 3: It is good to talk to you. Thank you so much, Rod, Litle, 1645 01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:34,599 Speaker 3: UK correspondent. Bad news for Same Street mat Almost Twitter 1646 01:20:34,640 --> 01:20:37,479 Speaker 3: account has been hacked. Someone's got a hold of Elmo's 1647 01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:41,080 Speaker 3: Twitter account and is posting what are being called disgusting messages. 1648 01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:45,040 Speaker 3: There are racist posts, there are anti Semitic posts. Sesame 1649 01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:48,080 Speaker 3: Workshop is trying very hard to regain full control over 1650 01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:50,280 Speaker 3: the account. It seems to have some control over the accounts, 1651 01:20:50,280 --> 01:20:52,519 Speaker 3: managed to delete a whole bunch of these things, but 1652 01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:56,040 Speaker 3: hasn't got full full control over the account yet. So 1653 01:20:56,479 --> 01:20:58,439 Speaker 3: this has been going on since the weekend. So if 1654 01:20:58,479 --> 01:21:02,160 Speaker 3: the kids love the sesame, just don't general rule with 1655 01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:04,000 Speaker 3: the kids is I think at this stage don't let 1656 01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:05,160 Speaker 3: them go anywhere near Twitter. 1657 01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:08,120 Speaker 11: So I should be avoiding messages from people asking me 1658 01:21:08,200 --> 01:21:09,400 Speaker 11: to tickle them. Is that what you say? 1659 01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:10,800 Speaker 4: There? 1660 01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:12,639 Speaker 3: You go see, keep the kids away from it. Sixteen 1661 01:21:12,680 --> 01:21:15,080 Speaker 3: away from nine the mic. 1662 01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:19,320 Speaker 2: Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, Howard By News 1663 01:21:19,360 --> 01:21:19,920 Speaker 2: Talks that be. 1664 01:21:21,320 --> 01:21:22,760 Speaker 3: Now, I said, I was going to talk about this 1665 01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:26,080 Speaker 3: earlier and ran out of time, but it does bear 1666 01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:28,639 Speaker 3: talking about. This is the Far North Council, and perhaps 1667 01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:31,040 Speaker 3: somebody can explain to me what the Far North Council 1668 01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:33,559 Speaker 3: is up to, because I think that they've just been dickheads, frankly, 1669 01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:37,200 Speaker 3: for the sake of it. So they spent they spent 1670 01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:39,519 Speaker 3: eight hundred thousand dollars. In a nutshell, they spent eight 1671 01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:43,519 Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars changing speed limits up and down the North, 1672 01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:46,200 Speaker 3: even though they knew that the government was going to 1673 01:21:46,240 --> 01:21:48,240 Speaker 3: reverse that. Because remember what happened was you had the 1674 01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:50,760 Speaker 3: last lot in the red lot. Labor and Label were like, 1675 01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:53,400 Speaker 3: h slow everything down. And so they've made this, you know, 1676 01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:55,720 Speaker 3: kind of like blanket rule of everybody's speed limits had 1677 01:21:55,720 --> 01:21:57,840 Speaker 3: to come down. Council started kind of preparing for it. 1678 01:21:57,920 --> 01:21:59,880 Speaker 3: The new government came in Blue lots said no, we're 1679 01:21:59,880 --> 01:22:01,800 Speaker 3: not going to do that. And yet, for some weird reason, 1680 01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:05,120 Speaker 3: there was some councils which is absolutely fixated on sticking 1681 01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:08,040 Speaker 3: to the original path. So anyway, the Far North Council, 1682 01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:10,599 Speaker 3: despite the fact that they knew what was happening, decided 1683 01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:12,920 Speaker 3: to go ahead and change three hundred of the signs 1684 01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:16,080 Speaker 3: they are now and as I said, it cost three 1685 01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:19,160 Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars for the local ratepayers five hundred thousand 1686 01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:21,840 Speaker 3: dollars for taxpayers to do this. They're now going to 1687 01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:24,479 Speaker 3: reverse some of them, but they're only going to reverse 1688 01:22:24,560 --> 01:22:26,519 Speaker 3: as far as they are concerned. The speed limits on 1689 01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:29,400 Speaker 3: six roads. I reckon keep an eye on that. I'd 1690 01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:32,160 Speaker 3: be surprised if they carry on with that, because people 1691 01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:35,240 Speaker 3: are desperately unhappy in the far North about this, because 1692 01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:39,559 Speaker 3: in some cases speed limits have dropped so drastically people 1693 01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:43,320 Speaker 3: are getting are getting tickets because it just doesn't make 1694 01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:45,080 Speaker 3: sense to go as slow as that. So the people 1695 01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:47,080 Speaker 3: are not happy about that. They've got an example of 1696 01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:50,240 Speaker 3: in lit road, which is fifty ks now used to 1697 01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:52,599 Speaker 3: be one hundred k's back in the day, somewhere along 1698 01:22:52,640 --> 01:22:54,720 Speaker 3: the lines and often changed it down to eighty, and 1699 01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:57,040 Speaker 3: they changed it down to fifty. But you know, like 1700 01:22:57,280 --> 01:22:59,040 Speaker 3: a road, you think about it. Think about a road 1701 01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:01,240 Speaker 3: in your neighborhood that's one hundred ks Now, all of 1702 01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:03,439 Speaker 3: a sudden, you're only allowed to go fifty on that 1703 01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:05,880 Speaker 3: that's the first reason they're going to be changing some 1704 01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:07,519 Speaker 3: of them back. The second one is that, according to 1705 01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:10,200 Speaker 3: one of the councilors up there, fewer than one percent 1706 01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:13,360 Speaker 3: of the community actually supported lowering the speed limits. So 1707 01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:15,280 Speaker 3: I suspect that for all of the money that they've spent, 1708 01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:16,800 Speaker 3: they're going to have to reverse more than just the 1709 01:23:16,880 --> 01:23:21,200 Speaker 3: six Anyway, at the heart of it, I think is 1710 01:23:21,240 --> 01:23:24,800 Speaker 3: a problem with councils completely ignoring central government. And I 1711 01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:28,639 Speaker 3: don't understand why they insist on doing this, because all 1712 01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:30,760 Speaker 3: that it does is that it just makes us. I 1713 01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:32,479 Speaker 3: don't know about you, but it certainly makes me just 1714 01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:34,519 Speaker 3: want to come after them and go, yeah, let's take 1715 01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:36,240 Speaker 3: your powers away from you. If you can't listen to 1716 01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:39,799 Speaker 3: common sense, you've got to be gone now. Cameron Bagery, 1717 01:23:39,800 --> 01:23:42,000 Speaker 3: if you're feeling a little bit miserable about the economy, 1718 01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:44,960 Speaker 3: and you know you can assume plenty of people are 1719 01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:47,240 Speaker 3: because they're up and off to Australia and so on. 1720 01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:49,680 Speaker 3: If you're feeling miserable about it, Cameron Baggery's written a 1721 01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:52,120 Speaker 3: piece for business desks today and he's saying, chin up, 1722 01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:54,800 Speaker 3: it's going to get okay. Good things take time. New 1723 01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:58,200 Speaker 3: Zealand's economy will rebound, says, the New Zealand economy is 1724 01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:00,400 Speaker 3: now in an awkward position. There are signs of rising 1725 01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:03,519 Speaker 3: inflation and stalled growth. But rather than losing faith, we 1726 01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:06,120 Speaker 3: need to accept that the economy is working through many 1727 01:24:06,200 --> 01:24:10,240 Speaker 3: structural challenges which monetary policy arises in rural incomes alone 1728 01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:13,639 Speaker 3: cannot address. Time will and he goes through the structural challenges, 1729 01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:16,800 Speaker 3: the problems that we've got. Obviously, everything has come. We 1730 01:24:16,920 --> 01:24:19,320 Speaker 3: had a bit of growth, now it's stopped. Level of 1731 01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:21,160 Speaker 3: activity is down. He says. A bunch of things need 1732 01:24:21,200 --> 01:24:24,439 Speaker 3: to change. For example, you need to get capacity up, 1733 01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:27,920 Speaker 3: you need to get stimulatory money monetary policy, need to 1734 01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:31,519 Speaker 3: get housing and residential construction going again, a whole bunch 1735 01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:34,160 Speaker 3: of stuff. Bottom line, he says, is time is key. 1736 01:24:34,600 --> 01:24:37,280 Speaker 3: Takes time for those monetary policy settings to diffuse through 1737 01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:40,240 Speaker 3: the economy. We've yet to see the offsetting impact of 1738 01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:43,840 Speaker 3: restrictive fiscal policy. It takes time to increase sorry to 1739 01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:46,800 Speaker 3: correct imbalances. It will take time to lift productivity and 1740 01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:50,280 Speaker 3: unlock growth from natural resources. Housing demand is not conducive 1741 01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:53,479 Speaker 3: to an upspring this year, maybe next year. Good things 1742 01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:56,599 Speaker 3: take time, and I am looking forward to Jeez, haven't 1743 01:24:56,600 --> 01:24:58,439 Speaker 3: we been told this for ages? But I am looking 1744 01:24:58,479 --> 01:25:00,160 Speaker 3: forward to that, and I'm heartened by the fact that 1745 01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:02,760 Speaker 3: he thinks it is going to happen. Ten away from nine. 1746 01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:06,439 Speaker 2: Here the duplicy Ellen on the Mic Hosking Breakfast with 1747 01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:10,640 Speaker 2: Bailey's Real Estate News dogs, they'd be hey, this is I. 1748 01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:13,760 Speaker 3: Think this is reasonably significant. Read the supermarkets just through 1749 01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:16,920 Speaker 3: this morning. The Commerce Commission is going to take some action, 1750 01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:21,160 Speaker 3: it says, against food Stuff's and Gilmore's. They haven't said 1751 01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:24,360 Speaker 3: which food Stuff's supermarkets, but obviously food Stuffs owns pack 1752 01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:27,000 Speaker 3: and Save New World and four Square. What they are 1753 01:25:27,040 --> 01:25:30,200 Speaker 3: accusing them of this time is car tael conduct. Now, 1754 01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:33,240 Speaker 3: what they say has happened, they haven't named the supplier, 1755 01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:35,640 Speaker 3: but the Commerce Commission says that what has happened is 1756 01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:37,960 Speaker 3: one of the suppliers to the supermarkets wanted to be 1757 01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:42,599 Speaker 3: able to have a direct trading relationship with a hospitality customers. 1758 01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:44,639 Speaker 3: The supplier wanted to be able to supply their products 1759 01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:48,800 Speaker 3: to this hospo customer. Both companies being food Stuffs North 1760 01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:52,719 Speaker 3: Island and Gilmore's, blocked that supplier from having a direct 1761 01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:55,840 Speaker 3: trading relationship with the hospo and made the supplier go 1762 01:25:56,040 --> 01:25:59,920 Speaker 3: through them. Thereby, presumably you would assume clipping the tech 1763 01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:04,400 Speaker 3: and you know, therefore the hospo guys I were either 1764 01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:06,880 Speaker 3: paying the hospital guy more or the supplies getting paid less. 1765 01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:10,519 Speaker 3: The Commas Commission has said it's going to file civil 1766 01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:13,439 Speaker 3: proceedings against these two companies as a result of that. 1767 01:26:13,800 --> 01:26:16,640 Speaker 3: At the moment, neither company appears to have commented. They 1768 01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:19,800 Speaker 3: have been approached for comment. Fair to say, I should 1769 01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:21,800 Speaker 3: remind you that this is all allegations at the moment. 1770 01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:24,280 Speaker 3: But the interesting thing about this is that this is 1771 01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:26,559 Speaker 3: much more serious than what has happened in the past. 1772 01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:28,400 Speaker 3: That's the first thing to know. Last time they were 1773 01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:31,240 Speaker 3: just having a crack at them for the prices. Cartel 1774 01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:33,800 Speaker 3: behavior is much more serious. But the second thing to 1775 01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:37,519 Speaker 3: understand as well, I've actually forgotten what the second thing is. 1776 01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:40,760 Speaker 11: Is going to make she's cheaper. That's what I want 1777 01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:40,960 Speaker 11: to know. 1778 01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:43,960 Speaker 3: No, I remembered what the second thing was. It was 1779 01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:45,880 Speaker 3: because Helen walked past, and I looked at Helen and 1780 01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:48,200 Speaker 3: thought she's looking nice, and then I forgot.
