It is six half of 5 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 2: five Sam stubs on Banking Capital. This morning. We're in 6 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,080 Speaker 2: Australia for the Mushroom. Lady updates self employed retirement savings. 7 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 2: There's a gap, we ask why and how to fix it? 8 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,080 Speaker 2: And a new report out this morning says universities are 9 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 2: throwing a grades around like Oprah with cars all but 10 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,479 Speaker 2: willy nilly, what's behind that? That's first up here on 11 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 2: early edition. 12 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: The Agenda. 13 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 2: Tuesday, the twenty sixth of August, more journalists killed by 14 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 2: an Israeli strike on a hospital in Gaza. They worked 15 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 2: for AP, Reuter's and Al Jazeera. 16 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 3: Journalists are present in a lot of health facilities because 17 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 3: they are covering the mass casualty incidents that occur every 18 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 3: minute of every day in Gaza, so they're always present 19 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 3: outside the emergency department. It certainly seemed a targeted attack, 20 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 3: as have many overs twenty two months, directly targeting both 21 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 3: members of the media and protected civilian infrastructure such as 22 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,919 Speaker 3: hospitals and other health facilities. 23 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 2: To the White House, Trump is currently hosting and setting 24 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 2: down with South Korea's president. Actually, Glenn and I were 25 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 2: just talking about their having a press conference at the moment. 26 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 2: How much gold there is in the Oval Office. We 27 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 2: know Trump likes gold. He's sort of doubled or even 28 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 2: trebled the amount of gold that is behind them in 29 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: the photo ops. Anyway, they still have to flesh out 30 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 2: these two leaders details of the trade deal that they 31 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 2: announced in July. Defense on the agenda. 32 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 4: Too, in terms of what's been already agreed in terms 33 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 4: of trade so earlier in the year. In July, actually 34 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 4: Trump reduced tariffs from twenty five percent to fifteen percent, 35 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 4: which is a huge deal for automobile makers such as Hondek, 36 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 4: Yeah and Genesis. At the same time, South Korean chip 37 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 4: makers like Samsung and s K Heinix have also benefited 38 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 4: thanks to their factories in the US, but industries like 39 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 4: steel and aluminium still face steep tariffs. 40 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 2: Five forty five. This morning, we're across the Tatsman with 41 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 2: Leslie Yeoman on the Mushroom Killer Lady. She's back in court, 42 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: the sole survivor. His name's Ian Wilkinson. He spoke about 43 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 2: his wife, Heather. She died after eating the beef Wellington. 44 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 5: She was a great mother, compassionate, brave and kind. Mister 45 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 5: Wilkinson told the court, I only feel half alive without her, 46 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 5: He said, breaking down is a truly horrible thought that 47 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 5: somebody could decide to take her life. 48 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 2: Sentencing eighth of September for her and what does she 49 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 2: have in her prison cell? Really weird part of the story. 50 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 2: I'll tell you about that later on the show. 51 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day early 52 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof Love where you Live. 53 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 2: News Talks, I'd be nine two ninety two is the 54 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 2: number of text love to hear from you this morning. 55 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 2: But complicated this banking stuff. But basically they one of 56 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 2: the reserve bankers proposing that they loosen the capital requirements 57 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 2: for your retail banks. That's how much money they have 58 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 2: to keep on hand, which costs them to do right, 59 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 2: there's an opportunity cost of them not using that cash 60 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 2: for lending, which would generate revenue, which would generate profits. 61 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 2: So the less they hold, the more it costs them. Sorry, 62 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 2: the more they hold, the more it costs them. But 63 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 2: the less they hold, the risky of the system is 64 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 2: if things go tips up and suddenly everyone wants their 65 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 2: money and the banks can't afford to pay because they 66 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 2: don't have enough capital. Then that's a problem. So the 67 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 2: Reserve Bank's getting a bit looser and proposing to get 68 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 2: a bit looser again on now that Adrian All's out 69 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: the door on how much they have to hold. And 70 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 2: this will affect competition in the banking sector. It will 71 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: and could affect economic output of the country because there 72 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 2: would be more money to lend. So they're consulting on 73 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: this at the moment. Government's keen. Farmers are keen. The 74 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 2: Commerce Commission's keen. They had that report last year. The 75 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 2: Finance and Expenditure Committee, they're keen, they said on Friday, 76 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 2: we told you that yesterday. The banks obviously are keen. 77 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 2: The rules at the moment are amongst the strictest of 78 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 2: countries that we would compare ourselves to. So Sam's Stubbs 79 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 2: from Simplicity has a view on this, he joins us 80 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 2: before six John ten after five. Now, this morning I 81 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 2: happened to cross an article about our favorite couple, Harry 82 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 2: and Meghan. They're just shameless, you know, no one likes them. 83 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 2: They have to make money though don't they because they're 84 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 2: not getting they're not able to suck on the British 85 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 2: teat any longer. So and they need to keep paying 86 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 2: for the nanny, and they need to keep nannies, I 87 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 2: should say, if you've seen the shows, and they need 88 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 2: to keep paying for the groundskeepers in their Montecito mansion. 89 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 2: So the latest iteration of the latest idea of being floated. 90 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 2: And I don't know whether there's flying a kite with 91 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 2: this or what, but apparently they are considering a Netflix 92 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 2: show about Princess Diana. I know, you go, oh, you cringe, 93 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 2: and I was thinking about this this morning. You do 94 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 2: cringe and you think, gosh, that's exploitative all that stuff. 95 00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 2: But it's also his mum. You know, it's his mother. 96 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 2: If he wants to talk about her, then that's his prerogative. 97 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 2: She's not public property any longer. The thing would rate 98 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 2: its tits off, you can be sure of that. So 99 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 2: I don't know. I think, yes, it feels a bit ecky, 100 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 2: but at the same time, it's not my mother. It's 101 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 2: his mother, so it's probably his choice in life to 102 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 2: make Eleven minutes after five News Talks VB, we'll talk 103 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 2: about this new report next on universities. If your kid's 104 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 2: got an A at UNI? Is it really an A? 105 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan 106 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: Bridge and one roof Love, Where You Live, News Talks VB. 107 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 2: News TALKSB. It's fourteen minutes after five. The data continues 108 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 2: to be all over the place a little bit at 109 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 2: the moment. You did we actually shrink in the June quarter? 110 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 2: The blip that everyone's been talking about the reserve band 111 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 2: reckons we did? They told us the other day we 112 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 2: went backwards. They used to make point three percent. But 113 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 2: then yesterday you get the stats in Z data out 114 00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 2: on retail sales volumes. Surprisingly, they lifted for June up 115 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 2: point five percent for the quarter. That's up two point 116 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 2: three percent from a year ago. So you go, what's happening? 117 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 2: What's happening? Well, the data is just all over the place. 118 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 2: You know, did the recovery actually stall or did it 119 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 2: just flatten? We will find out on the eighteenth of September. 120 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 2: That's when we get our actual June data and we 121 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 2: can be sure. It's fourteen after five. Newstalks at b 122 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge. Is an A grade today worth the same 123 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 2: as an A grade? Twenty years ago. A new report 124 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 2: out this morning from the New Zealand Initiative shows the 125 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 2: proportion of A grades given out at universities has increased 126 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: seven percent to thirty five percent. This is since two 127 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 2: thousand and six and during COVID get this, nearly half 128 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 2: of all marks were a's. So are we just giving 129 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 2: out as willing Nelly Elizabeth A Data is Sociology of 130 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 2: Education professor at the University of Auckland with me. Now, 131 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 2: good morning, Oh good morning, Ryan, Good to have you 132 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 2: on the program. Tell me what are we just handing 133 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 2: these A grades out? Or are the standards dropping or 134 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 2: students getting smarter? 135 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 6: Well, I think the really good thing about the Cursted 136 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 6: report is that from the New Zealand Initiative is that 137 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 6: it actually gives us some empirical data which we've needed 138 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 6: for a long time. So we know now we've got 139 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 6: the got the evidence that there is a problem, and 140 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 6: I think it's time to have a really close look 141 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 6: at all the factors that have produced this problem, because 142 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 6: you know, I've been at the University of Auckland for 143 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 6: four decades now and yeah, it's my experience that this 144 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,679 Speaker 6: has happened, But I haven't had the evidence until now, 145 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 6: so it's really good to see the report. 146 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 2: Why is it happening? 147 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 6: Oh gosh, Well, lots of factors, but what I think 148 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 6: it boils down to is that there's been a real 149 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 6: cultural shift over the last twenty thirty years from merit 150 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 6: to equity, the idea that everyone should succeed, you know, 151 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 6: the equal outcomes approach, and that's and that has been 152 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 6: anticipated by NCA, so that we've now got the we've 153 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 6: got students expecting to receive a's and not realizing that 154 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 6: you actually have to work extremely hard and you have 155 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 6: to have real ability and a subject to get an 156 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 6: A and not everyone does. But as I say, over 157 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 6: the last few decades, there's been an assumption that everyone 158 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 6: should be able to achieve the same standard. 159 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 2: Some academics apparently have said that they've been told instructed 160 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 2: by their faculty to give a's to people who basically 161 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 2: just for showing up. Have you heard of anything like 162 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 2: that happening. 163 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 6: I've heard about it. My own experience is that there's 164 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 6: just a societal pressure and the students they feel the 165 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 6: pressure to that they expect to get highmarks. It's what 166 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 6: they've encountered at secondary school in the NCAA. You know 167 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 6: they will take subjects. Not all students, of course, but 168 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 6: a number do take subjects where they can be sure 169 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 6: that the subject isn't too demanding that they will get 170 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 6: a high mark. So there's this sort of culture of 171 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:26,119 Speaker 6: expectation that is not really founded in the actual ability 172 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 6: and the hard work of all students. 173 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 2: Elizabeth, what's a really quick way to work out who 174 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 2: is actually an A level student? 175 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 6: Oh gosh, well, it's to get them to write essays 176 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 6: and to do external exams. 177 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,719 Speaker 2: Appreciate your time this morning, Elizabeth at Artzer, Sociology of 178 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 2: Education professor at the University of Auckland.

What proportion of self employed people 180 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 2: do you think if you had to guess this morning, 181 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 2: what proportion of self employed people are making? Key we 182 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 2: save a contributions saving for their retirement. I'll tell your 183 00:09:58,400 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 2: next news talk set B. 184 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with 185 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and One Route Love where you Live news talks. 186 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 2: They'd been five twenty on news talks, they'd be We'll 187 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 2: get to Sam Stubbs before six. On the bank capital 188 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 2: requirement changes, what does it mean for all of us 189 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 2: first self employed people. A bit of a warning for 190 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 2: you this morning from the Retirement Commission self employed people 191 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 2: investing less than half the amount into their retirement than 192 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 2: that of employees, meaning they could miss out on your 193 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 2: government contributions. If it's KIWI Saver. James Fuller is the 194 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 2: Henry CEO joins me. Now, Hey, James, Hey, good morning. 195 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 2: This is not surprising, right because it's optional. 196 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 7: It is, it's not surprising. But I think with the 197 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 7: recent changes in the twenty twenty five budget, the problem 198 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 7: that we're going to face is that fewer and few 199 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 7: are self employed are going to contribute to kiwisaver now 200 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 7: that the government contribution has been halved. 201 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 2: Do you think it's an education thing or a cost 202 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 2: of living thing. 203 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 7: I think it's a combination of the two. I think 204 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 7: self and point are fully aware that they can voluntarily 205 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 7: pay in today's see favor, but I think the challenge 206 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 7: becomes that there's no incentive for them to do so. 207 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 7: So over the last three years, eighty nine percent of 208 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 7: government contributions towards KII Saver have gone to salaried employees 209 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 7: and only seven percent have gone to the self employed. 210 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 7: And that's very stark at contrast, so the fact that 211 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 7: there are twenty percent of the workforce of self employed. 212 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 7: So it's a real disparity there from what the government 213 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 7: is doing. 214 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 2: When someone because on your app, when someone opts out 215 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 2: of Kiwi Savor, do you try and tell say to them, hey, 216 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 2: don't do that. Here's the potential implications of that. 217 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 7: We provide a lot of education to our customers. We 218 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 7: don't give them advice around these sorts of things, but 219 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 7: we do encourage them to get financial advice. I think 220 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 7: the key thing though, is that a lot of people 221 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 7: are opting out simply because the government is not contributing 222 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 7: as much as they were. So now that government contribution 223 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 7: has been halved, we've seen a large number of self 224 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 7: employed people decide, actually, I'm going to try and put 225 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 7: my money elsewhere. And the danger there is that they 226 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 7: start putting their money into maybe sort of higher risk, 227 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 7: shorter term investments, and that means that they won't have 228 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 7: enough retirement savings. And you know, it's a bit of 229 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 7: a short term a stress strategy from the government, because 230 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 7: long term, we're potentially creating a generation of soul traders 231 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 7: who are going to become a burden on the state 232 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 7: when they come to retirement age because they won't have 233 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 7: any savings. 234 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 2: Or they could. I mean, the soul traders are often 235 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 2: quite smart people and think for themselves. They might have 236 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 2: other alternative investment options that they think, as you say, 237 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 2: this one's not giving me what it used to do, 238 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 2: I'm going to move it over here and it's a 239 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 2: long term thing and I'm going to make more money 240 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 2: out of it. 241 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, absolutely right. Soul traders are incredibly resilient about 242 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 7: this kind of stuff. You know, after ki we save. 243 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 7: The most common place for them to put their money 244 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 7: is specialist savings accounts, which is sort of thirty two 245 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 7: and a half percent of them are putting money aside 246 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 7: in savings. There the challenge with that, we're seeing interest 247 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,239 Speaker 7: rates dropping, so the value of those special savings accounts 248 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 7: is dropic and doesn't provide some of the financial stability longer. 249 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 6: Term that seems like que savor do. 250 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,719 Speaker 7: So we should really encouraging everyone across New Zealand to 251 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 7: be paying into. 252 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 2: That quis savor. 253 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 7: And actually sometimes it's down to the government to actually 254 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 7: provide a level of as you said, education, level of 255 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 7: incentives to actually get from twelve people back onto. 256 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 2: The Kii Saver train. James, appreciate your time. Thanks, thanks 257 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 2: so much for coming on the show. James Fuller the 258 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 2: Henry CEO with us this morning, twenty three minutes after five. 259 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 2: I've always wondered why there isn't a more flexible option 260 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 2: as well for Kiwi Saver. You know, why can't you 261 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 2: contribute one percent or two percent? Why does it have 262 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 2: to be a minimum of three? It was surely it 263 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 2: would be better than zero. You know, nine two nine 264 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 2: two is the number to text. Time is five twenty four. 265 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 2: Big debate last night for the Tamaki Makodo by election. 266 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 2: I was tuned in. I'll fill you in on what happened. 267 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,439 Speaker 1: Next the early edition Full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio 268 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: powered by Newstalks Ever. 269 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 2: News Talk ZB. It is five twenty six. At the 270 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 2: rate it's going this by election could cost Labor the 271 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 2: real election. Penny Henada is popping out policies toxic to 272 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 2: the general electorate, but very popular with the ten thousand 273 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 2: odd voters that he will need to win Tammocky Mikoto. First, 274 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 2: it was bringing back the gang patches. You would have 275 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 2: heard about that. Labor then had to hose that down 276 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 2: left Middle New Zealand scratching their heads though, didn't it 277 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 2: Because we've been there, done that with gangs where over it. 278 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 2: We just want them sorted. Labour lost the war on 279 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 2: crime and with it the mandate to govern. You might 280 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 2: think it's an issue that they would just steer clear of, 281 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 2: but not Penny, Labour's electoral kryptonite. Last night he was 282 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 2: back at it. I was watching the debate well with 283 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 2: Ordine and Penny, which was actually quite a good debate. 284 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 2: I enjoyed it. Penny was asked about the cost of 285 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 2: living and he said that when Labor was in power, 286 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 2: they were in talks with EWI to build a third 287 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 2: supermarket chain across the country to compete with the duopoly. 288 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 2: Last Night's said they'd support it again if elected. Here 289 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 2: is what he said. 290 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 8: When we were last in power, we were working closely 291 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 8: with EWE to introduce a third grocery provider into the 292 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 8: market to allow our funder to experience cheaper cope and 293 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 8: to make sure that EWE are part of delivering the 294 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 8: answer for our finance. 295 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 9: So are you talking about a Kiwi Kai supermarket chain? 296 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 8: We're talking about EWE leaded New Zealand chain that will 297 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 8: supply our funder. 298 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 2: Ere we lead, but funded by hope. This is the question, 299 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 2: what does support mean? Does that mean taxpayer funding? In 300 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three they were talking about doling out loans, 301 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 2: maybe even grants or taxpayer support to secure land for 302 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 2: a third entrant. Now, there's nothing wrong with an e 303 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 2: WE lead supermarket chain. There's nothing wrong with a third 304 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 2: chain at all. Hell, we would all like to see that. 305 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 2: But do we want it to be taxpayer supported? That's 306 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 2: the question. If private capital can't make it work at 307 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 2: these prices, what chance would the state have. The problem 308 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 2: with this stuff is it feeds that perception. The only 309 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 2: response labor has to anything is more money, throw more money. 310 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 2: Can we build anyone? There's a philosophical question here which 311 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 2: Hipkins needs to answer. But of course Hipkins isn't answering 312 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 2: in questions because he's got a ban on policy till 313 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 2: at least Christmas Ryan Bridge, twenty eight After five News 314 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 2: Talks B nine two nine two the number, Ryan.

Within fire 424 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 9: an emergency not having available a taller aerial appliance which 425 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 9: might have helped them fight the fire a little better. 426 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 9: More than one hundred witnesses to be called over the 427 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 9: next five weeks.

This is a 438 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 12: chance for the lecturers to get out the fun way 439 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 12: of doing it, you know, and to let the public know. 440 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 12: She says, there's going to be a lot of fun 441 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 12: things and in particular there's a three D printing professor 442 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 12: who's going to get people thinking about you know what, 443 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 12: imagine a future wire your kitchen could be printing your 444 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 12: steak dinner. 445 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 2: That's quite cool the idea.

Better conversation than probably you'd have 449 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 2: with your friends at the pub. How's our weather? Neither cloudy? 450 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 12: Chards for shower. Seventeen is the high here in Auckland, 451 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 12: but warmer, but warmer today. 452 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,239 Speaker 2: It is nice and warm. There's a bit of a 453 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,479 Speaker 2: cloud cover this morning. Never, thank you, good to see you. 454 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 2: Eighteen minutes away from six News talks, there'd be we'll 455 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 2: get to Leslie Yeomans on the mushroom lady. And the 456 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 2: sentencing is going to happen in a couple of weeks, 457 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 2: so we'll know how long she gets then. In the meantime, 458 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 2: I thought it was interesting yesterday to learn what exactly 459 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 2: is in her cell and I'll tell you what it 460 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 2: is she has. She's refused the chaplaincy services, but the 461 00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 2: court heard that she has in her cell a straighter 462 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 2: and a fan, and I thought, man, if you have 463 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 2: been convicted for murder. I'm just surprised they you have 464 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 2: a hair straightener and a fan in your prison cell. 465 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 2: Quite shocked, not only because it's potentially a weapon and 466 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 2: also potentially a bit dangerous. But whenever she was on 467 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,120 Speaker 2: the outside, it never looked like she'd straightened to her here, 468 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 2: you know. Anyway, I looked up the New Zealand Corrections 469 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 2: website to see what exactly you're allowed in a cell 470 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 2: in New Zealand. It's except in some circumstances, offenders are 471 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 2: allowed to have certain approved items, including a radio or 472 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 2: a CD or tape player. So that's taking your way back. 473 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 2: Good morning if you're listening from the sales this morning, 474 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 2: an electric jug or a flask, that's surprising. They're allowed 475 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 2: a fan too. A limited number of books and magazines. 476 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 2: Well there should be an unlimited number of books. Surely 477 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 2: that's what you want people in prison to be doing. Anyway. 478 00:24:55,640 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 2: You're also allowed some limited personal toilet, tree, sanitary items, 479 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 2: that kind of stuff, but it all has to be 480 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 2: checked before prison staff before you take it in. So 481 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 2: there you go.

Leslie yeomans 508 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 2: Our Australia correspondent with us this morning, Leslie, Good morning. 509 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 10: Morning Ryan. 510 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,439 Speaker 2: Now the Aaron Patterson in court. A lot of attention 511 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 2: paid to the fact it's the mushroom lady in court, 512 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 2: but actually the victims yesterday spoke and the sole survivors spoke. 513 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 2: It was quite heartbreaking stuff. 514 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 14: It was very, very emotional. It was the start of 515 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 14: a two day pre sentence hearing for Aaron Patterson and 516 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 14: the pre sentence hearing gives people who were affected by 517 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 14: the crime the chance to present their impact victim impact statements. 518 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 14: Now among them yesterday was survivor of that fateful dinner 519 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 14: that Ian Wilkinson who lost his wife Heather, Gail and 520 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 14: John Patterson and sorry he lost his wife Heather and 521 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 14: Gale and Don Patterson also died after eating the poison 522 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 14: beef Wellington that was prepared by Patterson back in twenty 523 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 14: twenty three. Now Patterson also became emotional while Ian Wilkinson 524 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 14: was reading out his statement where he spoke about his 525 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 14: wife Heather and how he missed her, but he also 526 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 14: then forgave Patterson and that that was a very emotional 527 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 14: time because he said he didn't want to become her victim. 528 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 14: He wanted to take that away from her. He wanted 529 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 14: to be the Now Patterson's estranged husband, Simon, also prepared 530 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 14: a statement for the court. He wasn't present. It was 531 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 14: presented for him on his behalf and he expressed his sadness, 532 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 14: had how he missed his parents and his aunt more 533 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 14: than words can express, and how his children were also 534 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 14: suffering from that day and Patterson's actions. Now Patterson is 535 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 14: facing life in prison. A date for her sentence could 536 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 14: be set on about September eighth, and that's when her 537 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 14: team and she will have time, have twenty eight days 538 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 14: given to them then where they will decide if they're 539 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 14: going to prepare for an appeal. 540 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 2: Appreciate your time. Leslie Yeoman's our Australia correspondent with an 541 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 2: update on the Aaron Patterson trial. Sorry are sentencing there 542 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 2: It is ten to six. The arbian Z's giving capitals 543 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 2: a second lock. This is for the banks after pressure 544 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 2: from the government looking at easing the requirements so banks 545 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 2: don't have to lock away as much from emergencies. Could 546 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 2: free up money for home loan, small business lending, farmers. 547 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 2: That sort of stuff. Could also give smaller banks a 548 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 2: shot at competing with the big players. Sam Stubbs simplicity 549 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 2: founded with me this morning, Sam, Good morning, good a Ryan. 550 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 13: How are you making good? 551 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 2: Thank you? Does this really make the system potentially make 552 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 2: the system riskier? 553 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 13: Are in a very very small way. The Reserve Bank 554 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 13: will still maintain extremely close control over anyone who calls 555 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 13: themselves a bank and takes deposits. One of the interesting 556 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 13: thing about banking, Ryan, is anyone can make a loan. 557 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 13: You don't have to be a bank to make a loan, 558 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 13: but you do have to be a bank to take 559 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 13: a deposit. And they've lowered the requirements. You've got to 560 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 13: put up five million dollars, not thirty million dollars, but 561 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 13: that will be of capital, but that'll be very very 562 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 13: tightly monitored, and it will actually cost a lot more 563 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 13: than that to run something called a bank. So at 564 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 13: the margin, years are not not really so. 565 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 2: The current rules well, they look to be a bit 566 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 2: harsh when you compare them to our countries. We like 567 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 2: to compare ourselves. 568 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 13: To sort of. I mean, we've got very safe banks, 569 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 13: but we've also got massively profitable banks. And you know, 570 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 13: I read these recommendations. To be honest with you, it 571 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,479 Speaker 13: feels to me like the Reserve Bank we're having their 572 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 13: own twisted. That they don't really want to do this, 573 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 13: but the politicians have been lobbied very effectively by the 574 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 13: banks into saying, look, you know, we need to have 575 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 13: lower cost of capital. In the history of banking in 576 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 13: New Zealand is as soon as banks say costs, they 577 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 13: actually take it straight to their profit. They don't give 578 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 13: it back to the customers. You know, you've seen that 579 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 13: with bank branches. For example, your mortgage didn't go down 580 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 13: because they were saving a whole lot of money closing 581 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 13: closing rural branches. So this is something the banks want, 582 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 13: so you have to be very suspicious of it. They 583 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 13: lobbied very heavily for this. You've got to ask themselves 584 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 13: what's their motivation. I doubt their motivation is going to 585 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 13: be lower mortgages and higher term deposits. I think this 586 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 13: is a way of them seeing how they another way 587 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 13: of increasing their their profits and In fact, the Reserve 588 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 13: Bank themselves said, look, these recommendations we're making, or you're 589 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 13: asking us to make, might save people maybe six one 590 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 13: hundreds to fourteen one hundreds of one percent in their 591 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 13: mortgage rate. So it's going to make a very very 592 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 13: small difference at the margin, if at all. I personally 593 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 13: think the banks will take this to profit. You know, 594 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 13: they've already had very high capital requirements recently, and what 595 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 13: have they done. You've seen their profits go up, so 596 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 13: we'll imagine what they'll do if their cost of doing 597 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 13: business goes down. Do you really trust them to give 598 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 13: that back to the consumer? I don't. Good point. 599 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 2: Good point, Sam, Appreciate your time, Sam Stubbs, Simplicity Founder 600 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 2: with some context.

What 612 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 15: I think about this is interesting because they don't I mean, 613 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 15: I'm not accusing them of anything, but how did they 614 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 15: do their numbers? So you've got a bunch of free stuff, 615 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 15: so the all whites will be free. That's where your 616 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 15: real money is, right, So if you put the all 617 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 15: whites behind a paywall, so that's free, so they're making 618 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 15: no money from that. They're then relying on what your 619 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 15: obsessives who buy the whole package. So in other words, 620 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 15: you buy the package for the whole World Cup and 621 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 15: you're the expats, so the poems will buy the poems, 622 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 15: et cetera. And so that's where your money. So how 623 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 15: much do you bring in do you think, because that's 624 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 15: guesswork versus how much did you bid in the first place? 625 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 15: And did you bid too much to get the rights? 626 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 15: And did you get carried away? Did the emotion come 627 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 15: into it? You know what I'm saying. They're not experts 628 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 15: in the field.
