Coming up today, Chris Hipkins is 6 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,760 Speaker 3: going to be talking to media at quarter to five. 7 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 3: We're going to make sure that you hear it. How 8 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 3: New Zealand will tell us if we should be worried 9 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 3: about their rapid decentralization. That's after five and then west 10 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,319 Speaker 3: Pax Cali ekhold on why he thinks we should be 11 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 3: working from home to save the fuel. 12 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 4: Heather Duper Clan. 13 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 3: We need to talk about inflation because inflation is making 14 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 3: me pretty sure now that the National Party needs to 15 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,919 Speaker 3: rethink its planned for the selection. So we've just had 16 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 3: the flu of the food inflation data out today. No surprise, 17 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 3: food has gone up in price again in the year 18 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 3: to February, up four point five percent. The biggest increase 19 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 3: in a single item was mince. It went up twenty 20 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 3: three point two percent. That is the highest recorded jump 21 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 3: in mince in two decades. Now, mince is a reasonably 22 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 3: big deal in this day, I reckon because mince and 23 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 3: sausages obviously, but mince is one of those bits of 24 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 3: meat that we go to when we're feeling the pinch, right, 25 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 3: can't afford the sirloin steak, you go for the mince instead. 26 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 3: So if the thing that is the so called cheaper 27 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 3: option is becoming that much more expensive, all that tells 28 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 3: you how hard it's gonna be for families to make 29 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 3: ends meat right, And it's of course not just them. 30 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 3: Everything everything, everything has gone up. There are few that 31 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 3: have gone back in price, but for the most part, 32 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 3: things that you really need, not the snacks, the stuff 33 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 3: you need gone up in price. And this is gonna 34 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 3: get worse. What's been happening in around for the last 35 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 3: seventeen days will, without a shadow of a doubt, push 36 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,839 Speaker 3: up our food prices even further than they are right now. 37 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 3: It's gonna start with the vegetables first because they're already 38 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 3: in the ground. Then it's gonna move on to things 39 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 3: that take longer to produce, So your weak based stuff, 40 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 3: your stuff like bread that takes a bit longer to grow, 41 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 3: meat will go up. Everything will go up. It's the fertilizer. 42 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 3: Because of the lack of access to Yuia fertilizer prices 43 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 3: are going up, so the on farm costs go up. 44 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 3: Then it's the fuel cost of getting it from the 45 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 3: farm to the itn know, let's say the bakery, and 46 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 3: from the bakery to then the supermarket, and that increased 47 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 3: cost is going to land on us because there's a 48 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 3: lag effect with what's going on around. It's going to 49 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 3: land on us every single month. Four months now, and 50 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 3: they're talking about six months, you can push it out. 51 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 3: If they're talking about six months, it's going to be 52 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 3: longer than that. 53 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 5: Now. 54 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 3: The Neat's whole strategy for this election was that they 55 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 3: will be fine because the economy will improve and we 56 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 3: will all feel richer, us voters, and we will thank 57 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 3: the NATS for making this cost of living thing go away, 58 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 3: and their polling will go up as a result, and 59 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 3: they will come through with the election on November seventh. 60 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 3: That is now not going to happen. The cost of 61 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 3: living crisis will not be over in November. It will 62 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 3: keep having us in the items that we can't avoid, 63 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 3: which is petrol for many but food for everyone. So 64 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 3: the NATS need a new plan that requires them actually 65 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 3: doing something more than just waiting for voters to feel richer. 66 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,279 Speaker 3: Because we're not gonna. 67 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 4: Heather do for see Ellen. 68 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 3: Nine through nine three is the text number standard text 69 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 3: Fiece applier might actually get barried sober to give me 70 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 3: his thoughts on that when he's with us just before 71 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 3: five o'clock. Now, finding the best schools may in fact 72 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 3: be about to get easier because the Education Review Office 73 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 3: is overhauling how it reports on schools performance. Schools will 74 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 3: now be rated from excelling to requiring improvement across fourteen 75 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 3: different areas including reading, writing, maths, and attendance. It will 76 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 3: be all available online for parents to see. The Chief 77 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 3: executive of the EROS, Ruth Shanoda High Ruth Hi. The 78 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 3: point of this is designed so that we can have 79 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 3: better access to this information before we choose schools. 80 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 6: The point is it for parents to understand their child 81 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 6: school's performance. That's before they start, but also when they're 82 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 6: already at school. We know how well schools are doing, 83 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 6: and now we're explaining that to parents. 84 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 3: This start is stuff that you already have available and online. 85 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 6: Is that right at the moment we collect this information. 86 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 6: When we do this really in depth reviews of schools, 87 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 6: we review a third for schools across the country every 88 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 6: year about seven hundred, and we collect the information, but 89 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 6: then the way we currently explain it, parents have just 90 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 6: told us they cannot understand it. It's in education jargon, 91 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 6: it uses words they don't understand, and it doesn't give 92 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 6: them really clear ratings. So we've fixed that. We've worked 93 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 6: with about one hundred parents up and down the country 94 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 6: to together develop something parents find useful. 95 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 3: How have the schools reacted to this? 96 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 6: So we've also been working with schools, and we've worked 97 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 6: in depth with twelve and talked to many more. We're 98 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 6: t do three things. Firstly, nice clear, easily understandable for parents, 99 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 6: which is those fourteen areas, each. 100 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 7: Of which have a judgment. 101 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 6: But secondly, for schools, they're welcoming the fact that we're 102 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 6: actually explaining how old schools are doing in a way 103 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 6: that they can communicate with their community and for example 104 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 6: doing things like pulling out progress. So schools have got 105 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 6: quite a tricky intake of kids. They can still do 106 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 6: really well in progress, and now we can show that 107 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 6: and they can show it to their community. 108 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, because this feels a little bit like 109 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 3: a different way of doing DSOL, like obviously a completely 110 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 3: different way of doing disol but it might run into 111 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 3: the same things where we start to have judgments about 112 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 3: certain schools and avoid them. Would you anticipate that. 113 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,679 Speaker 6: Happening, So we've deliberately designed it to try and avoid 114 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 6: that because we're not doing single word judgments. We've got 115 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 6: fourteen areas of things that we know really get great 116 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 6: outcomes from kids, as you were saying, gender achievement, progress, reading, writing, maths, 117 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 6: but also other things like how good's the curriculum, how 118 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 6: good is the teaching, and how are they doing in leadership? 119 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 6: And for each of those they get one of the 120 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 6: four point judgment. So then what parents have said they 121 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 6: want to do is just to understand that and understand, Okay, 122 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 6: this school is really good at these things, that's important 123 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 6: to my child. Well, actually that school's good at these things, 124 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 6: that's a better fix for my child. So it's enabling 125 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 6: parents to basically know what we know. 126 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 3: Do you think Ruth's going to lift school's performance? 127 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 6: That is the hope is that we've got a whole 128 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 6: new section in the report where we set out really 129 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 6: clearly for school what the next steps are for them 130 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 6: for strengthening their performance. So if schools have got areas improvement. 131 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 6: Now we're really clear from the evidence. If you do 132 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 6: these things, this is what's going to help. Also, we're 133 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 6: not going to back down from if we see a 134 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 6: school struggling, we're going to call that and say what 135 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 6: support does that school need and then make sure that 136 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 6: they get that support. That's where we hand it over 137 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 6: to the Minium three. But that's the end to end. 138 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 6: It's for parents, but the new report's are also for 139 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,239 Speaker 6: schools to make sure they get the support they need. 140 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, Ruth, I love the idea and thank you 141 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,239 Speaker 3: for talking us through it. Good luck with that, Ruth Shanoda, 142 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 3: Education Review Office Chief Executive. Just way, it's my prediction 143 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 3: somebody is going to complain about this. It's going to 144 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 3: be one of the unions. It's going to be a school, 145 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 3: it's going to be the labor Party, it's gonna be 146 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 3: one of those three. Listen.

So 293 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 3: we'll have a chat about that with my Olds when 294 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 3: he's with us shortly now. The Prime Minister's chiefly title 295 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 3: over and some or just got a weird little twist 296 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 3: in it today and I know another weird little twist 297 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 3: in it. So the latest is that the Prime Minister's 298 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 3: office apparently tried to have the ceremony scrapped in the 299 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 3: middle of the night after this thing started getting attention. 300 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 3: So on Sunday night, which is only seven hours before 301 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 3: the thing was actually due to kack off, at three am, 302 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 3: there were phone calls trying to get it pulled and 303 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 3: changed it. And the word is that it was because 304 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 3: of all the social media kafuffle that was going on 305 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 3: about the request. The alleged request for the title. Now, 306 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 3: I know what you're about to do. But ah, they're 307 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,319 Speaker 3: about to do that thing. Oh the media is making 308 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 3: up stories again. No, it's the same person who has 309 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,599 Speaker 3: done this again. It's the bloody sie. What's the sum on? 310 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,719 Speaker 3: Prime Minister. Hey was the one who said to the 311 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 3: radio station in lux and asked for the title. He's 312 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 3: the one now telling people the yarn about them trying 313 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 3: to pull it in the morning. So if you want 314 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 3: to blame anybody for all the drama that the Prime 315 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 3: minister's having over there, it's his counterpart. 316 00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 7: Now. 317 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 3: Not good news for Australia unfortunately. Looks like there is 318 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 3: a ship into fuel that was meant to be loaded 319 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 3: onto a ship bound for Australia at the weekend that 320 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 3: was not put on the ship. So this happened at 321 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 3: a Chinese port on Saturday. The ship instead of going 322 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 3: to Australia, fuel wasn't put on, so no point in 323 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,719 Speaker 3: going to Australia, so didn't go down to Australia. It's 324 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 3: gone over to South Korea instead to pick up diesel. 325 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 3: Now there is a second ship which was also due 326 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 3: to load some fuel in China, which is now currently 327 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 3: on its way to Singapore. They don't know whether it 328 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 3: will once it's finished doing whatever it's supposed to do 329 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 3: in Singapore then divert back to Australia and unload the fuel. 330 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 3: Chances are not very good because this is obviously because 331 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 3: of the Chinese government directive to the refiners not to 332 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 3: send the refined fuel out. So at the moment it's 333 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 3: starting to impact our neighbors over their affair. But with 334 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 3: the lack of all the ship the missed shipping coming 335 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 3: to them. Hither of what you say about National and 336 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 3: inflation is correct, then Kiwis are genuinely stupid. If anyone 337 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 3: thinks a labor coalition can manage the economy better. Look, 338 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 3: don't get me wrong when I say I think National 339 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 3: is in trouble on the economy, I really do. But 340 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 3: I don't think it benefits labor. I think it benefits 341 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 3: New Zealand First. So I still think you get a 342 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 3: scene to right government. I just think National is small 343 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 3: and New Zealand First is big, which I mean you 344 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 3: might be able to live with that. I think National 345 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 3: MP's probably will struggle to live with it. Hither, the 346 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 3: National Party needs a circuit breaker for the election. I 347 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 3: think You're right about a leadership spill, but who will 348 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 3: it be? Erica Stanford is the one, says the text 349 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 3: news is next. 350 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: The day's newspakers talked to Heather first, Heather Duplicy Ellen 351 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: Drive with One New Zealand and the Power of Satellite 352 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: Mobile News said, be you know. 353 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 3: Poo, the ADA has just lifted the OCR in Australia. 354 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 3: Or have a chat to Murray Olds, who's going to 355 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 3: be with us shortly now. Based on what Chippy has 356 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 3: just said at the airport when the media stopped him there, 357 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 3: I'm not expecting him to defend himself against the allegations 358 00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 3: when he holds the press conference shortly. 359 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 14: I'm going to speak to this this afternoon and the 360 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 14: main point that I'm going to make is that these 361 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 14: are ultimately personal and family matters and I'm not going 362 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 14: to get into backwards and forwards with her in public about. 363 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 3: So that'll be in around about ten minutes time, and 364 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 3: Barry Soaper will be with us as well in ten 365 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 3: minutes and respond to whatever we get from Chibby. And 366 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 3: by the way, Barry's been speaking to the ex wife today, 367 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 3: so stand by for that twenty five away from five. 368 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 4: It's the world wires on news talks, they'd. 369 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 3: Be drive Now there have been reports of explosions across 370 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 3: bag Dad after an attack by Iran. A spokesperson for 371 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 3: the Katari Foreign Ministry says that Iran should stop its 372 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 3: attacks on neutral nations. 373 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 15: The only need here is called Iran to stop attacking 374 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 15: the countries are attacking them, to stop attacking the countries 375 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 15: of the Gulf, to stop attacking the countries in the other. 376 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 4: World this war. 377 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 15: For us here in the taken a position to stay 378 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 15: out of this world, to not be part of this escalation. 379 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 15: But Iran has decided to guess into this escalation. 380 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 16: Now. 381 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 3: As you know, British Prime Minister Cirkistama yesterday refused to 382 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 3: send any ships to the Strait up Homos. Donald Trump's 383 00:16:59,360 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 3: not impressed. 384 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 9: We defend all these countries and then Gaviny mind sweepers. 385 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 4: And they say, well, would it be possible for us 386 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 4: to not together as well? 387 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 3: And finally, an Indian farmer has taken the concept of 388 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 3: a scarecrow to just like a whole new level. In 389 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 3: order to scam monkeys away from his crops, the farmer 390 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 3: is dressing up as a bear and walking through his 391 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 3: fields from time to time. The costume cost the farmer 392 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 3: about seventy four New Zealand dollars and he should definitely 393 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 3: try to get his money back because he does not 394 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,959 Speaker 3: look like a bear. He just looks incredibly scary. 395 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 1: International Correspondence with ends and Eye Insurance Peace of Mind 396 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: for New Zealand business. 397 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 3: Murray Old Australia corresponded with us. Now he mus afternoon, 398 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 3: heather right up for the second time this year. 399 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 17: That's right, second time in two months, and maybe another one, 400 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 17: well almost certainly another one in May. And what that 401 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 17: would do would be to take it back to where 402 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 17: was at start of the cutting cycle, back in twenty 403 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 17: twenty five, back to four point three five percent. It 404 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 17: was three point whatever it was before they went into 405 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 17: the meeting, three point eight. Interesting. I'm just looking at 406 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 17: the statement from the Central Bank. Here, the Reserve Board Bank, 407 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 17: the nine person board voted five to four to increase. 408 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:22,919 Speaker 7: The cash rate. 409 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 17: Four members said no, we're going to leave it alone. 410 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 17: So that's interesting that division is there. But the board 411 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 17: has said here, look, inflation's picking up. In fact, if 412 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 17: this Middle Eastern crisis keeps going in terms of fuel prices, 413 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 17: fuel feeds into everything diesel and petrol. Australia lives on diesel. 414 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 17: That's ninety six percent of Australia's fuel is refined in Asia, 415 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 17: in Korea mainly and in Singapore. Four percent is refined 416 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 17: here in Australia. The two measly little refineries that Australia 417 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 17: still has left so very much depending on the rest 418 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 17: of the world. And if the Straits hor Moves are 419 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 17: still closed, that means there'll be very little supplies coming 420 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 17: in here. The government hasn't ruled out rationing either, which 421 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 17: is interesting. That was the Defense Minister Richard Miles this morning. 422 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 17: The government has released some from the emergency stockpile. But 423 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 17: the start and finish of all of this is that 424 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 17: there's inflationary pressures that are building in the Australian economy 425 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 17: right ahead of the budget coming down in May, and 426 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 17: the Reserve Bank has voted five to four to be 427 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 17: on the cautious side. They can always wind it back, 428 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 17: I guess. But if they don't do it now and 429 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 17: they meet again in May and this war is continuing 430 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 17: in Iran, well do they then go with half a 431 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 17: percentage point instead of a quarter, which would you know, 432 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 17: it would be a hell of a shock to the 433 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,199 Speaker 17: Australian economy, so many moving parts, Heather. The unemployment rate 434 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 17: currently at a very historically low level of four point 435 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 17: one percent, Well, it's going to have to go up 436 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 17: to take some of the heat out of the economy 437 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 17: as well more people out of work. A lot of 438 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 17: those people have got mortgages. It's a conundrum. That's one 439 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 17: that's well above my pay grade. 440 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 3: So do you think the failure of the government to 441 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 3: rule out the fuel rationing does that sound to you 442 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 3: like they want to keep that open as a realistic option. 443 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 17: It's an option, isn't it. Yeah? I mean I did hear. 444 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 17: Miles was on the ABC on ABC television this morning 445 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 17: and I watched him. I watched the interview and I 446 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 17: heard what he said. It did ring like alarm bells 447 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 17: in the back of my head, a bit like the 448 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 17: Reserve Bank perhaps moving now to avoid the possibility of 449 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 17: half a point rise in May, Miles, maybe throwing it 450 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 17: out there because don't forget. I mean, I'm sure I 451 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 17: mentioned this to you last week. There was one service 452 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 17: station up in northern New South Wales and Armadale, I 453 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 17: think from memory that's about six hours north of Sydney 454 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 17: that was selling unleaded fuel three dollars forty. Now the 455 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 17: average pump price here in Sydney did this afternoon's around 456 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 17: the two dollars forty mark. So somebody's making money up north. 457 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 17: And the Australian consumer watchdog, the Consumer and Competition Commission, 458 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 17: they hauled in the big fuel supplies this morning for 459 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 17: talks I think in Canberra, basically saying well, you've got 460 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 17: to justify these prices people. BP was in their ampole 461 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 17: Chevron ex on Mobile seven to eleven, as well as 462 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 17: a huge petrol player over here. All these different companies 463 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 17: were hauled in and asked to justify their prices. We 464 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 17: haven't yet seen the outcome of that buzz. 465 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 3: I suppose everybody's buying EV's in fact. In fact us 466 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 3: talking to the guys from Byd in New Zealand. They 467 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 3: said there was some ridiculous number like about eight hundred 468 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 3: byds that got sold in Australia on Saturday alone. 469 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 17: I wouldn't be surprised, is that A Well, I that's 470 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 17: a new stat to me, and I'm grateful to you 471 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 17: because I'm very interested in this. I've got some good 472 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 17: contacts with the electric Vehicle Council of Australia and not surprisingly, 473 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 17: they were pumping up the tires of EV sales this morning. 474 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 17: There were ninety thousand new vehicles sold in Australia in February. 475 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 17: Electric vehicles are record twelve percent of those sales plug 476 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 17: in hybrids right the plug in electric hybrids up by 477 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 17: twenty percent now in twenty twenty five, nearly forty percent 478 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 17: I bought. There were one point two four million new 479 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 17: cars sold last year in Australia. One hundred and sixty 480 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 17: thousand of those were electric vehicles. And they gave me 481 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 17: some stats this morning, Heather, if you're driving a petrol 482 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 17: powered car one hundred kilometers an hour with fuel two 483 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 17: dollars per liter, it's going to cost you twenty two 484 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 17: dollars when fuel goes to three dollars a liter. To 485 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 17: Heaven help us, that same hundred cas is going to 486 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 17: cost you in your petrol car thirty three dollars thirty 487 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,959 Speaker 17: have a listen to evs. There can be charged to capacity. 488 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 17: The evening peak six o'clock is there's the evening peak 489 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 17: for charging evs in Australia.

This is like 508 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 3: a classic case of a young person unraveling their career. 509 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 3: I'm going to talk you through it when I get 510 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 3: a chance. Hither. I don't know why they're saying choose 511 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 3: a school when there is no choice in the school. 512 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 3: You legally have to go to the school you are 513 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 3: zoned for that is the one that you live closest to. Aha. Now, yes, yes, 514 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 3: those are the rules. But doesn't always work like that, 515 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 3: does it. Now in the part of the city that 516 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 3: I live, there are some schools nearby that have falling 517 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 3: rolls because house prices have got so out of control 518 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 3: in those particular suburbs I'm talking about her in Bay 519 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 3: sent me Bay. House prices are now so high there 520 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 3: that people with young children cannot afford to live in 521 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 3: those parts of the city. So as a result, the 522 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 3: school's role is falling. As a result, you can often 523 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 3: get into those schools if you're out of zone. So 524 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 3: you can choose. You can choose. You can go to 525 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 3: the school that you're zoned for, go to the other school, 526 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 3: go to that school or that school because they haven't 527 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 3: And for the most part, if you apply, apparently for 528 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 3: the most part, ches I'm going to jinx my child's chances, 529 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 3: as he held on touchwood. 530 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 5: There we go. 531 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 3: But apparently you should be able to get in. So 532 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 3: that is why I say choose, because he actually in 533 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 3: some parts of the country can choose.

Okay, we're standing by 554 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 3: right now for Chippy to start his press conference, which 555 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 3: hasn't kicked off just yet. But talk me through what 556 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 3: you understand is going on here. 557 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 9: Well, I don't think the press conference is going to 558 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 9: tell us a hell of a lot. If he's taken 559 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 9: legal advice, I'm sure the lawyer will have said to him, 560 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 9: don't address the issues one by one. Because there were 561 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 9: several allegations made in the initial post on Facebook. I've 562 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 9: been talking to his ex wife for some time this afternoon. 563 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 9: In fact, I knew her around Parliament, so we had 564 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 9: quite a long chat about what she claims went on 565 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 9: and the reason, essentially I think that she's now talking 566 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 9: about it is what she sees as the hypocrisy of 567 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 9: Chris Hipkin's some of the stuff that he espouses which 568 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 9: doesn't ring true to her, given what she says was 569 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 9: pretty unpleasant treatment by him of her when they were together. 570 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 9: They were together more than a decade, so it wasn't 571 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 9: a short it was a short marriage. That they'd been 572 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 9: together for some time. She, like any mother, would be 573 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 9: as concerned for her children. And then you'd have to ask, well, 574 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 9: why go public on this, and I think she obviously 575 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 9: feels that this is bigger than that. She says, everything 576 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 9: she said in public is the truth, and she called 577 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 9: it the verifiable truth. So she says she's got evidence 578 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 9: to back up. 579 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,199 Speaker 3: So why do this, because I mean, this is all 580 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 3: stuff that can be can be litigated behind closed doors. 581 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 3: Why make it public? 582 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 9: Well, she clearly and I didn't ask her specifically this, 583 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 9: but clearly she believes this man could potentially be the 584 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 9: Prime Minister of New Zealand again, and she believes that 585 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 9: he isn't the sort of character that should be holding 586 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 9: that particular role. So that's why she's doing it. I mean, 587 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 9: you'd have to say, dare I say it? Phlly vindictive? 588 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 9: But you know marriage split up, sir, never easy situations 589 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 9: to be in. 590 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you think you'd be stoked for your 591 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 3: children they can say their father is the prime minister. 592 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 9: Well they can say it because he has been. 593 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 3: So oh well this is true. And lest anyone think 594 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 3: for one second that I want the Labor Party back 595 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 3: in power of him as the prime minister. Now our 596 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 3: prime minister, the one we currently have has moved on 597 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 3: to Tonga, has he So he's free of the troubles 598 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 3: that would be caused by the sarmor in prime minister's mouth. 599 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 9: Look quite sincerely, this is exactly what happened. The High 600 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 9: Commissioner for Apia in Samoa, he talked to the Ministry 601 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 9: of Foreign Affairs and said, will a Mattie chieftainship be 602 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 9: delivered to Chris Luxen when he arrives, because several other 603 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 9: prime ministers have had that honor bestowed on them, so 604 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 9: it's not uncommon for New Zealand prime ministers. And that 605 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 9: was interpreted by the High Commissioner going to the officials 606 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 9: in Apia and saying, is this on will this be happening? 607 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 9: And they in fact said yes, it is happening, and 608 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 9: for some unknown reason it's been transmitted to the primers 609 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 9: are saying that our prime minister asked for it, and 610 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 9: I think, you know, I can feel for Chris lux 611 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 9: and it's pretty bad. 612 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 18: But what about him? 613 00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 3: Then mate heading back with the second one and saying. 614 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 9: He tried to get the ceremony aborted and you know, 615 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 9: I can understand trying to get the ceremony abort it 616 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 9: aborught it because well it was just bloody terrible what happened. 617 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 3: So is this guy new to the job, Schmidt. 618 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 9: Yeahs six months in the job. You remember there's a 619 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 9: female prime minister there before. But look prime ministers in 620 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 9: my time who have received matt eyres from Muldoon, David Longey, 621 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 9: Jim Bolger, John Key and Bill English. Interestingly, Helen Clark 622 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 9: was never offered one, and neither was Justin Dern who 623 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 9: offered the apology to the Sarmons for the Dawn raids 624 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 9: which her father incidentally was involved in, which it was 625 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 9: a story of mine at the time. So at a 626 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 9: political level, Muldoon, of course, who was responsible for the 627 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 9: raids on Sarmons living in this country, he's got one 628 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 9: as well. So well he did have one.

The intern appears to be a reference. 668 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 3: I'm reading between the lines here that the intern appears 669 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 3: to be a reference to the current fiancee, Tony, who 670 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 3: was an intern in his office in twenty ten. He 671 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 3: then met his ex wife in twenty thirteen. He says 672 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,080 Speaker 3: there was no crossover whatsoever. There has not been in 673 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 3: an affair, and then he went on to you know, 674 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 3: spark up the relationship with Tony many years later, I 675 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 3: think in the twenty twenties or something like that. Anyway, Yeah, 676 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 3: pretty ugly. I mean, I think we all just hope 677 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 3: that that if marriages break up, people behave a little 678 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 3: bit better than this one has. We will discuss this 679 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,959 Speaker 3: later on. We do have the Huddle standing by obviously 680 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 3: to talk about this as well. There's something it is 681 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 3: worth discussing, whether this is any of our interests whatsoever, 682 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 3: So we'll have a chat about that later on, just 683 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 3: really quickly, and we're going to talk about Health New 684 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 3: Zealand straight off the five because there has been a 685 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 3: warning about the unwinding of the centralization. You remember Andrew 686 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 3: Little did that. He got all rid of all the 687 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 3: health boards, made them all go central during the pandemic. 688 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 3: That's now being unwound at pace by Simme and Brown, 689 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 3: and we're being warned there is extreme risk of not 690 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 3: having enough workers to cope with us. We'll have a 691 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 3: chat to Health New Zealand about that. 692 00:32:48,640 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 18: Next news talk set by. 693 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: The Only Drive show you can tru trust to ask 694 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 1: the question, get the answers, find a fact sack and 695 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 1: give the analysis. Here the duplicy Ellen Drive with One 696 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 1: New Zealand and the power of satellite mobile news talks, 697 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: There be good afternoon. 698 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 3: The government has ordered Health New Zealand to unwind some 699 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 3: of Andrew Little's centralization from the last government and delegate 700 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 3: some of its decision making back to the regions. Simeon Brown, 701 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 3: the Health Minister, says it won't be a return to 702 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 3: the days of DHBs, but it is a significant reform. 703 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 12: This is about making sure the right decisions are being 704 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 12: made at the right level. And absolutely putting staff closer 705 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 12: to the decisions and patients closer to the decisions I 706 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 12: think is a good thing and will ultimately mean better 707 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 12: care for patients. 708 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 3: Now, doctor Andrew Brandt is the acting Health New Zealand 709 00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 3: Chief Executive and with us now, Hi Andrew. 710 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 13: Good afternoon. 711 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,719 Speaker 3: Now, you guys had some papers given to you recently 712 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 3: about this. They say, there's the papers say there's an 713 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 3: extreme risk of or not having enough workers. Do you agree. 714 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,359 Speaker 13: This change of the devolution is a really good next 715 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 13: step of the evolution of Health New Zealand. That report 716 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 13: that you're referring to is actually just describing how well 717 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,879 Speaker 13: we're doing currently in our financial situation and how we're 718 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 13: managing in twenty five twenty six, and it's rather positive, 719 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,359 Speaker 13: but it also highlights about the devolution and the risk 720 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 13: and benefits of devolution, and quite rightly within it it 721 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 13: highlights some of the challenges and risks of doing that. Obviously, 722 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,800 Speaker 13: Health New Zealand's just been through a whole period of 723 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 13: time of bringing together twenty DHBs, very centralized. 724 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 20: It went through. 725 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 13: Financial difficulties in the last couple of years. It has 726 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,239 Speaker 13: improved that position the last couple of years and now 727 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 13: also we're delivering more as well. But if that report 728 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 13: highlights actually we need to change if we're going to 729 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 13: keep going with improvement. And really the key changes is 730 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 13: actually bringing the operating model much more to the front line, 731 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 13: bringing those coalitions into the decision making, bringing our community 732 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,800 Speaker 13: as well into the decision making, and that really is 733 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,800 Speaker 13: the next step, and that's what this is all about. 734 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 13: But it's a big change because of course we're a 735 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,760 Speaker 13: large organization one hundred thousand people, thirty one billion dollar budget, 736 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,240 Speaker 13: and we've got to do this devolution carefully and bringing 737 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,280 Speaker 13: that so we can bring that decision making to improve 738 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:34,280 Speaker 13: the care for our patients and population in a careful 739 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 13: and stage manner. 740 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 3: How is this good for us? 741 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 5: Why it's good? 742 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 13: It is because you know, we've got I think a 743 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 13: lot of benefits you know from actually the controls we've 744 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 13: had in the last year. We've had improved performance and 745 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 13: improved financial performance. But when you're so large, and actually 746 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 13: you can imagine how large it is and all the 747 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 13: hospitals and community services, you know, are we making the 748 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,800 Speaker 13: absolutely right decisions at the front line, We can't know 749 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,280 Speaker 13: that all centrally. So actually the next step is actually 750 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 13: making sure people at the front line help are engaged 751 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 13: in their budgets in the decision making. Are we making 752 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 13: the right decisions? Is just the right care model and 753 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,879 Speaker 13: to get that next level of improvement for healthy zen 754 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 13: and for the population, we really need to empower the 755 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 13: front line. 756 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:19,399 Speaker 3: Andrew, it's good to talk to you. Thanks for your time, 757 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,240 Speaker 3: Andrew Brandt. Health New Zealand Acting Chief Executive. 758 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:23,359 Speaker 4: Heather Dupe for see Allen. 759 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 3: Right, We've got the latest food inflation numbers, and mints 760 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 3: is the one that's really shot up. It's gone up 761 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,280 Speaker 3: in price by almost a quarter, which is the biggest 762 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:34,399 Speaker 3: annual increase in two decades, and it's contributed to food 763 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 3: prices being four and a half percent higher in the 764 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 3: year to February with US now to analyze this is 765 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 3: Infametrics Chief executive Brad Olson. High, Brad, good afternoon. Right, 766 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 3: this is just the international meat prices, isn't it effectively? 767 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,799 Speaker 21: I mean we've basically seen mints prices increase every single 768 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:51,760 Speaker 21: month for the last wee while, and to be honest, 769 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 21: I don't necessarily see that changing. We know that internationally 770 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,239 Speaker 21: there's still a lot of demand for protein. The US 771 00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 21: is looking for beef they need to make their hamburgers 772 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 21: and everything else, and there's not as much of it 773 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,880 Speaker 21: around the world. In the US, they've got the lowest 774 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 21: beefstock numbers in like fifty years. If there's not animals 775 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 21: running around, they can't kill them and eat them for 776 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 21: us here at home, even we've seen lower numbers of 777 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,800 Speaker 21: beef being killed over time. I think it's down like 778 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,399 Speaker 21: something like three percent. So it does get us into 779 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 21: that position. Strong demand, not quite as much. Supply. Prices 780 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 21: have increased substantially, but of course that's hitting the bottom 781 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 21: line for a lot of Kiwi households. Where mince is 782 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 21: normally or has been before the cheap option, now it's 783 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 21: nowhere near. 784 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,360 Speaker 3: Now, take a look at what is going on in 785 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,840 Speaker 3: Iran and tell me what's going to happen to food prices, 786 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 3: not just mince, but food prices from here on. 787 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 21: It well, I mean, it doesn't take a genius or 788 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,319 Speaker 21: an economists to tell you that. I mean, prices are 789 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:39,799 Speaker 21: going to go. 790 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 3: Up with how much? 791 00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,720 Speaker 21: Well, and that's the question, and probably also how quickly? 792 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 21: Is the point that we keep coming back to. We 793 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 21: know that not only oil prices are key to transport costs, 794 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 21: but also just the production. You know, if you're a farmer, 795 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 21: you've got to use diesel to move stuff around, to 796 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 21: run the tractor and everything else. 797 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:55,920 Speaker 9: So this is going to hit. 798 00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:56,759 Speaker 3: We've done some. 799 00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:00,400 Speaker 21: Numbers recently that show that ten percent of non wage 800 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:04,200 Speaker 21: operating costs into supermarkets are purely because of transport costs. 801 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 21: So that's going to really start to hit. What I 802 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 21: expect and what I'm hearing is sort of two angles. 803 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 5: One. 804 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 21: Some businesses are saying, we know that prices have continued 805 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 21: to go up. We're not going to pass them on 806 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,719 Speaker 21: because we're too uncertain. We're going to try and ride 807 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 21: this out and eat the cost for the next couple 808 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 21: of weeks. Others are saying, you know what, prices have 809 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,480 Speaker 21: increased heaps. I need to increase mine as well, and 810 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:23,840 Speaker 21: so they're pushing through them quickly. 811 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:25,360 Speaker 3: But it's not just the next two weeks, isn't it. 812 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 3: I mean, as we know, there's a lag effect from 813 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 3: what happens here and stuff that is. I mean weeks. 814 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,439 Speaker 3: For example, takes months to grow, so we're still months 815 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 3: away from feeling feeling what it does to bread. So 816 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 3: when does this If the war was called off today 817 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 3: when would we be through what is going on with 818 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:41,759 Speaker 3: inflation as a result of it. 819 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 21: I think there's almost sort of two hits that come through. 820 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,800 Speaker 21: The first is within the next sort of month to 821 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 21: three months, you'll definitely see that big impact hitting and 822 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:49,879 Speaker 21: that will start I think the next week or two 823 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,239 Speaker 21: for some food items. It's more though, that even within 824 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 21: the next year you're going to see the impact because 825 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,959 Speaker 21: of all those high fertilizer prices you're seeing at the moment. 826 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,160 Speaker 21: If a farmer's going out to get their fertilized for 827 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 21: next season and not applying as much because it's more expensive, 828 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 21: that's going to hit yields and what they're producing sort 829 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:06,840 Speaker 21: of within the next twelve months, so it's not an 830 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 21: immediate hit. I think you sort of see that shorter 831 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 21: one within the next three months, and probably in the 832 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 21: next couple of weeks pushing through then not quite a lull, 833 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 21: but not as intense pressure. And then it's more just 834 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 21: again how much supplies they're coming into the system, what 835 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 21: other shocks come through. But let's be clear, I don't 836 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 21: know if this conflict ends anytime soon, and if it doesn't, 837 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,800 Speaker 21: that's where the pressure comes on. It's not just the price. 838 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 21: It's also can we get enough fuel? 839 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 17: Yeah? 840 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 3: Well, thanks for giving us the reality, Brad, I do 841 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,759 Speaker 3: appreciate it. It's Brad Olson, Infametric's chief executive, thirteen past five. 842 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 4: Here the duplicy Allen. 843 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 3: He is a little bit more from Chrishipkins's stand up. 844 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 14: I have not sought any legal advice about Jade's post 845 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,719 Speaker 14: or about Jade. I have sought some advice about the 846 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 14: potential publication of allegations against me that are untrue. 847 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 3: So he was not taking the legal advice that we 848 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 3: were talking about yesterday because of her. He was taking 849 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 3: the legal advice because of us, as in the members 850 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,839 Speaker 3: of the media who might repeat what she said, which 851 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 3: is to the point that we can keep getting on 852 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 3: the text messages. Why are we not talking about it 853 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 3: because of that? Because he can sue us. Because if 854 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,160 Speaker 3: you run the story and you can't substantiate, substantiate independently 855 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 3: what she said, you get sued as well. That is 856 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 3: an explanation for why nothing has been run, none of 857 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,479 Speaker 3: the detail. Basically Hither, I feel uncomfortable about the media 858 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:18,400 Speaker 3: storm on Chippy. I'm not a fan of him, but 859 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,399 Speaker 3: I feel that this is his personal life and something 860 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 3: we shouldn't need to know about, especially as he has kids. Heather, 861 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 3: I'm very anti labor, but this assassination of the leader 862 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,799 Speaker 3: of the Labor party is not on Heather, is your 863 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 3: inference that Jade Paul is wrong to speak out? Yeah, yes, yes, 864 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 3: I'm saying Jade Paul was wrong to say it because 865 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,400 Speaker 3: if you have kids, you just don't air your dirty laundry. 866 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,440 Speaker 3: That's the father of your children. However, it's a fair 867 00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,160 Speaker 3: point that's been raised by Muzzle and texts about whether 868 00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 3: this is any of our business. So we'll deal with 869 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,840 Speaker 3: it before this half hour is through. Weirdly op shops 870 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,960 Speaker 3: next fourteen past five. Now, we all know our chances 871 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,480 Speaker 3: of winning. The average prize drawers pretty slim, right, But 872 00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 3: Carpet Mill's latest prize draw is actually very different. They 873 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,839 Speaker 3: are giving each person who books in a flooring job, 874 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,239 Speaker 3: whether it's carpet or hard flooring, a one in five 875 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,520 Speaker 3: chance to get their garage carpet done for free.

All you 877 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,399 Speaker 3: have to do is accept your Carpet Mill quote before 878 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,680 Speaker 3: April thirty, and then you're on the draw to win. 879 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,759 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter if you want your new flooring done 880 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 3: in two months or two years, you still have that 881 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 3: one in five chance of getting your carpet in the 882 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 3: garage for free. Now that's a pretty good odd day. 883 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,320 Speaker 3: And don't forget Carpet Mill has been crafting quality carpets 884 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,800 Speaker 3: right here in New Zealand for decades and they're a 885 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,719 Speaker 3: consumer trusted brand. So head along to Carpetmill dot co 886 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,600 Speaker 3: dot nz for all the teas and season the details. 887 00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,960 Speaker 3: Do it today so there could be a free garage 888 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:39,480 Speaker 3: carpet in. 889 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:39,800 Speaker 7: It for you. 890 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:44,320 Speaker 3: Heather dup Cyllen eighteen past five. Now, apparently going to 891 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,879 Speaker 3: the op shop might be falling out of fashion. Young 892 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,680 Speaker 3: women apparently who want to look good nowadays aren't buying 893 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:54,200 Speaker 3: secondhand clothes like previous generations. Otago University Professor Lisa McNeil 894 00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 3: has been doing some research here and is with us 895 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,960 Speaker 3: hig Lisa hi heaven. So what is it that they 896 00:41:58,960 --> 00:41:59,839 Speaker 3: don't like about the option? 897 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 16: It's less that they don't like it, but they're seeing 898 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:10,319 Speaker 16: significant barriers to actually shopping in that way, so it's 899 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 16: hard for them. It's expensive when they compare it to 900 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,400 Speaker 16: some of the cheap new options that are available in market, 901 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,399 Speaker 16: and they're not quite so satisfied with what's on offer 902 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 16: in the op shops. 903 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,280 Speaker 3: How much of it do you reckon? Is the time 904 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,320 Speaker 3: time issue? Because boy, oh boy, digging through all that 905 00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,359 Speaker 3: stuff in a shop is a hell of a task, 906 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:28,759 Speaker 3: isn't it. 907 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,360 Speaker 16: Absolutely, and a number of the young women in my 908 00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 16: study actually talked about that, and even just the perception 909 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,200 Speaker 16: of the effort before getting to the store can be 910 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,840 Speaker 16: off putting for some of them. Stores are kind of 911 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,640 Speaker 16: working on that, and they're trying to organize clothing paps 912 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,520 Speaker 16: by color, range, by type, or by size, but it's 913 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,560 Speaker 16: still perceived as a lot of labor. 914 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,040 Speaker 3: Can we say that because of the rise of I 915 00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:55,880 Speaker 3: don't even know how you pronounce it any more, sheine 916 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,920 Speaker 3: shine whatever machine and the shine and the temouron all 917 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,480 Speaker 3: those cheap options, op shops are going to die. 918 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 16: I don't think they're ever going to die, because the 919 00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:10,080 Speaker 16: reality is we've got far more garments and textiles than 920 00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,399 Speaker 16: we really need. And I think that certainly we're going 921 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:17,440 Speaker 16: to have to actually have a circular economy around textiles 922 00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,440 Speaker 16: and around garments heading into the future. But I think 923 00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 16: we're going to have to perhaps think smarter about the 924 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 16: way that we present what's on offer, and maybe consumers 925 00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:28,640 Speaker 16: have to be a bit more conscious about what they 926 00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 16: buy and donate. 927 00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,080 Speaker 3: Lisa, thank you so much to really appreciate your time. 928 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 3: A Lisa McNeil, who was an Otago University professor having 929 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 3: a study of the op shops maye if you could 930 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:38,920 Speaker 3: just decide it, imagine if you could just decide to 931 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,400 Speaker 3: do that. You know what today I feel like I 932 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:45,160 Speaker 3: feel like studying op shops. Now we know why Sean 933 00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,080 Speaker 3: pen skipped the oscars because we thought that was a 934 00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:48,920 Speaker 3: bit of a flex. We were like, that's a ballsy 935 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,040 Speaker 3: move mate, You've got a little gold man. You're going 936 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 3: to win it. And he did win it, and you're 937 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,640 Speaker 3: not even there to get it. The reason he wasn't 938 00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,359 Speaker 3: there was because he was in Ukraine. He was meeting 939 00:43:56,440 --> 00:44:00,359 Speaker 3: with Vladimir Lensky, because of course he's a huge, huge 940 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,879 Speaker 3: supporter of the Ukrainian cause. So that explains that. Heather, 941 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,040 Speaker 3: I'm in the process of being treated appallingly by my 942 00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 3: ex husband, who is also powerful and high profile. I 943 00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,279 Speaker 3: think that she is brave and post separation abuse is 944 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,520 Speaker 3: a subject that requires education and understanding. The kids have 945 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,160 Speaker 3: heard much worse criticism of chippy and that's the nature 946 00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,279 Speaker 3: of public life. They're probably proud of their mother for 947 00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,120 Speaker 3: having the courage to speak up. I don't know that 948 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 3: I think that primary a j I don't know, nah, 949 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 3: I don't think primary age kids should be proud of 950 00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:29,120 Speaker 3: their mum for doing something. 951 00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. 952 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,360 Speaker 3: I think I'm starting to firm up my view on this. 953 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,560 Speaker 3: I don't think she should have done this. However, she 954 00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:35,439 Speaker 3: left the media with no options. So let's talk about 955 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:36,839 Speaker 3: that next five to twenty one. 956 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,399 Speaker 1: The name you trumped to get the answers you need, 957 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:44,800 Speaker 1: it's Heather Duplicy Ellen drive with one New Zealand coverage 958 00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:46,960 Speaker 1: Like no one else us talk. 959 00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 4: They'd be. 960 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,920 Speaker 3: Tell you what we's pax. Chief economist Callier cold rickens 961 00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:54,680 Speaker 3: that we should be working from home to try to 962 00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:56,400 Speaker 3: save the petrol. You know how I feel about the 963 00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,399 Speaker 3: working from home, so I hate this idea. But he's 964 00:44:58,440 --> 00:44:59,960 Speaker 3: going to be with us after the news and talk us. 965 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,759 Speaker 3: That's a five twenty four now. As you can tell 966 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,600 Speaker 3: by the texts that we are getting, and there are 967 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,879 Speaker 3: a lot of them, the Hipkins and his ex wife 968 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,440 Speaker 3: on social media drama has sparked a debate now about 969 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,920 Speaker 3: whether any of this is of any interest to us 970 00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,080 Speaker 3: any of our business at all, and whether we should 971 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 3: leave politicians' private lives as being private. Now, depending on 972 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,640 Speaker 3: who you talk to, some will tell you that that 973 00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,000 Speaker 3: has actually been the convention in days of old. The 974 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 3: media and the press gallery in years past may have 975 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,520 Speaker 3: heard about what is going on in private lives of MPs, 976 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 3: but they didn't report it, and there are cases in 977 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,959 Speaker 3: history that you can point to of that being the truth. 978 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:36,520 Speaker 3: Things that happened with prime minister's kids or spouses that 979 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:40,680 Speaker 3: were just never reported. They were private, they were unrelated 980 00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,840 Speaker 3: to running the country, and it still is true. In 981 00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,640 Speaker 3: recent years there have been affairs that everyone in the 982 00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,319 Speaker 3: media has known about but has left alone. Lately, though, 983 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,359 Speaker 3: that convention has been eroded. We had the revelations about 984 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,200 Speaker 3: Jamie Lee Ross having multiple affairs that was made public 985 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,600 Speaker 3: public that was weaponized against him. You had the Ian 986 00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,560 Speaker 3: Lease Galloway affair with the staffer that was made public 987 00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,680 Speaker 3: that weaponized against him. Then you had Bussy's social media 988 00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,320 Speaker 3: post involving their child and that was obviously made public too. Personally, 989 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,200 Speaker 3: I don't think that this is a black and white issue. 990 00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,560 Speaker 3: I think it's up to judgment right. Unfortunately, I don't know. 991 00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:12,160 Speaker 3: You might hate the media, but it is left to 992 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,600 Speaker 3: the media's judgment. Definitely, in most cases, I would say 993 00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 3: in almost all cases, kids should always be off limits. 994 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,080 Speaker 3: The coverage of Anni King's daughter's drugs in the car 995 00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,640 Speaker 3: in the two thousands was completely unacceptable. It's got nothing 996 00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,359 Speaker 3: to do with what Annett was doing in her job. 997 00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 3: Kids should not be hurt by the fact that their 998 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,640 Speaker 3: parents have a profile because of the choice that they've 999 00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,799 Speaker 3: made for their career. Most affairs, I don't really care 1000 00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,960 Speaker 3: about most relationship breakdowns. I don't really care about either. 1001 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,160 Speaker 3: I don't think it's newsworthy. However, that there are some 1002 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,359 Speaker 3: examples where it does become newsworthy. If it's hypocrisy, if 1003 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,840 Speaker 3: a politician is being privately, is behaving privately completely in 1004 00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,520 Speaker 3: contrast to what they're saying publicly, I think it's fair game. 1005 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:52,359 Speaker 3: Chippy is being accused of possible hypocrisy, it might make 1006 00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,960 Speaker 3: this a news story. If there are character questions or 1007 00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,520 Speaker 3: state of mind questions, it's relevant. And if a key player, 1008 00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:01,520 Speaker 3: which brings us to the Chippy case, if a key 1009 00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,520 Speaker 3: player like the ex wife is trying to make it 1010 00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,200 Speaker 3: a news story. I think it becomes a news story 1011 00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,640 Speaker 3: because at that point, if the media then decided it's 1012 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,400 Speaker 3: not a news story and they're not going to run it, 1013 00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:13,920 Speaker 3: that becomes a case of suppression, and that would be 1014 00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,920 Speaker 3: completely unacceptable. Now, as I've said, I think this is 1015 00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,680 Speaker 3: hideous that this is playing out. There are very young 1016 00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,479 Speaker 3: children involved here. I don't think that she is making 1017 00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,960 Speaker 3: the right choice. She is their mother. She has to 1018 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,000 Speaker 3: make those choices. But I can tell you now that 1019 00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:28,839 Speaker 3: would not be a choice that I would be making 1020 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,040 Speaker 3: as a mother. So I am sorry to see this happen. 1021 00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,920 Speaker 3: I feel terribly for the kids. I feel terribly for Chippy. 1022 00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:35,839 Speaker 3: I feel terribly for her because I think she may 1023 00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,799 Speaker 3: come to regret it. But what can you do. She's 1024 00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,760 Speaker 3: made it public, he's responded to it. It's their private lives, 1025 00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,800 Speaker 3: but this public now in it To ever do for 1026 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:48,000 Speaker 3: ce Ellen's Heather, I'm sorry. He could be the next 1027 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,840 Speaker 3: prime minister. We are the taxpayers, so whereas employers, we 1028 00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:54,279 Speaker 3: should be able to vet him thoroughly. I mean to 1029 00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,120 Speaker 3: think about it. Okay, imagine you're a mechanic, right, you're 1030 00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,640 Speaker 3: employing a mechanic. Are you going to go and talk 1031 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:01,839 Speaker 3: to the end wife about whether he's been having an 1032 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,720 Speaker 3: affair with the intern before you employ the mechanic properly, 1033 00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,359 Speaker 3: not hither. I find the talk of the op shops 1034 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,120 Speaker 3: going out of fashion quite strange because my son and 1035 00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:10,640 Speaker 3: his girlfriend have both been doing a lot of the 1036 00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:12,760 Speaker 3: op shopping lately, and both went to the big vintage 1037 00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,400 Speaker 3: market at the Showground last weekend. And it wasn't from necessity. 1038 00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,680 Speaker 3: It is because they're like finding unique clothes. I mean, look, 1039 00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:20,600 Speaker 3: I'll tell you what. There are parts of this country 1040 00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:23,879 Speaker 3: where op shopping will be alive and well forever. I'm thinking, well, 1041 00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,440 Speaker 3: I'm looking at you Wellington, I'm looking at you Dunedin. 1042 00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:29,160 Speaker 3: You love it, don't you. News is next and the 1043 00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,440 Speaker 3: Huddle will weigh in with their thoughts about this business 1044 00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,760 Speaker 3: and the Chippy and his ex wife.

You need to max the 1054 00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,399 Speaker 3: Shane Jones in your life. We've got them after six 1055 00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,040 Speaker 3: for you. How'd all standing by? It's twenty five away 1056 00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,200 Speaker 3: from six right now now. One of the country's top 1057 00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,000 Speaker 3: economists reckons we might not need to start thinking about 1058 00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:24,000 Speaker 3: the old work from home orders to save fuel. Sri 1059 00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,120 Speaker 3: Lanka has moved to a four day week from Wednesday 1060 00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,160 Speaker 3: due to Collins, though the minister who runs the show 1061 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,600 Speaker 3: here says, no, we're not considering any changes right now. 1062 00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,360 Speaker 3: Kelly Ecult is West Pax chief economist and with us 1063 00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,920 Speaker 3: Hi Kelly Hi, Now, when you say we should be 1064 00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:38,960 Speaker 3: considering it, do you mean we should be considering it 1065 00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:40,400 Speaker 3: right now or in the future. 1066 00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:44,560 Speaker 20: Well, I mean I think it's probably time to think 1067 00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:46,920 Speaker 20: about it, because if I look at how that supply 1068 00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:50,799 Speaker 20: chain is working to get the fuel to hear, it's 1069 00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,560 Speaker 20: very much a just in time system. In the flow 1070 00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:57,200 Speaker 20: of crude oil from the Persian Girth golf oil fields 1071 00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:01,640 Speaker 20: to those Asian refinemers is much drying up around about now. 1072 00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:06,080 Speaker 20: So the reality is that unless things change quite quickly. 1073 00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:08,640 Speaker 20: Something is going to have to be done, probably in 1074 00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:12,040 Speaker 20: the next two or three weeks. See you to start earlier. 1075 00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,160 Speaker 3: Yet too right? How do you rate the chances that 1076 00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:16,239 Speaker 3: we do have some rationing in this country? Let's say 1077 00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:17,279 Speaker 3: out of one hundred. 1078 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,879 Speaker 20: Oh, I think we'd probably like about a seventy five 1079 00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:22,520 Speaker 20: percent chance, so would say hither. 1080 00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:25,520 Speaker 3: Okay, So then the sooner we start conserving, the better. 1081 00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:27,600 Speaker 3: So working from home for everybody who can. 1082 00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,800 Speaker 20: Well, that's an easy option, isn't it Because the country, 1083 00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:34,080 Speaker 20: or at least a decent part of the country, is 1084 00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:37,840 Speaker 20: already set up to do that. We have some history 1085 00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,239 Speaker 20: of doing that. Through the COVID period, we're able to 1086 00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,640 Speaker 20: save quite a lot of fuel. With the hard lockdowns, 1087 00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:45,640 Speaker 20: we're not going to save anything near that amount, but 1088 00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:49,920 Speaker 20: it'll certainly help provide more fuel for the more higher 1089 00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:51,040 Speaker 20: priority uses of it. 1090 00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:52,600 Speaker 3: How much do you reckon it does save? 1091 00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:54,120 Speaker 9: Well? 1092 00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:57,440 Speaker 20: I had the team work on this and the carless 1093 00:50:57,520 --> 00:50:59,759 Speaker 20: days in the eighties. They reckon They saved about three 1094 00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:03,440 Speaker 20: six percent, sort of like fuel use. We reckon on 1095 00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,560 Speaker 20: this occasion. You know, if say thirty percent of people 1096 00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:10,520 Speaker 20: commuted one less day a week, then that might save 1097 00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:14,720 Speaker 20: about five percent on fuel usage, So that could actually 1098 00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:19,319 Speaker 20: stretch out those fifty eight days of petrol maybe by 1099 00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:22,719 Speaker 20: two or three days. So that tells you that for 1100 00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,840 Speaker 20: that one that one day thing, that does something, but 1101 00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,200 Speaker 20: there's probably going to be other muses required as well. 1102 00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:31,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, how long I'm just going to ask you how 1103 00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:33,279 Speaker 3: long you think this drags on for? But it really 1104 00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:36,040 Speaker 3: depends on what happens in Iran, doesn't it? The problem 1105 00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:38,080 Speaker 3: with it working from home thing, would you agree, Kelly, 1106 00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,800 Speaker 3: is that this has become political, hasn't it? Like working 1107 00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,719 Speaker 3: from home has become a political issue, So if you 1108 00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:45,800 Speaker 3: don't like it, you're probably not going to want to 1109 00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,040 Speaker 3: support it, even if it is for saving the oil. 1110 00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:52,160 Speaker 20: Well, certainly there's been a big push by business to 1111 00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,080 Speaker 20: try to get people back into the office, right, So 1112 00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:59,960 Speaker 20: there's always that reluctance there I think about about going 1113 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,720 Speaker 20: going backwards, I suppose. I mean, there have probably possibly 1114 00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:07,200 Speaker 20: been perception of some productivity issues. But in the end, 1115 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,160 Speaker 20: you know, if we find ourselves a bit short, if 1116 00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,760 Speaker 20: the boats slow down in terms of the ones bringing 1117 00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,359 Speaker 20: fuel into the country in the next few weeks, got 1118 00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,320 Speaker 20: to do something too, right, Listen. 1119 00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:19,400 Speaker 3: You're seventy five percent chance of rationing. When does the 1120 00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:20,120 Speaker 3: rationing kick in. 1121 00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:25,920 Speaker 20: Well, I mean, we've got decent visibility on the fuel 1122 00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:27,960 Speaker 20: that's coming for the next couple of weeks because you 1123 00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,600 Speaker 20: can actually see the boats on the ocean heading there. 1124 00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,120 Speaker 20: So right now we're not in a position where we 1125 00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:35,680 Speaker 20: have any less fuel than we usually have because the 1126 00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:38,080 Speaker 20: tanks are basically always kept us fall and they get 1127 00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:41,680 Speaker 20: topped up. But I guess what I would suspect is 1128 00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:45,560 Speaker 20: that in April, the refiner the countries where the refineries 1129 00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:48,439 Speaker 20: are basically going to make harder decisions. And I don't 1130 00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:50,440 Speaker 20: think it'll be reasonable to expect they're going to say 1131 00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:52,520 Speaker 20: that we can't have any but it might be very 1132 00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:54,919 Speaker 20: reasonable that they say that perhaps we have to cut 1133 00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:55,880 Speaker 20: off twenty five percent. 1134 00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,040 Speaker 3: Okay, Kelly listen, thanks very much for talking us through. 1135 00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:02,480 Speaker 3: Kelly echoled WESTPA Chief Economists twenty one away from six the. 1136 00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:05,800 Speaker 1: Huddle with New Zealand Southebyst International Realty, a name you 1137 00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:07,960 Speaker 1: can trust locally and globally. 1138 00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,960 Speaker 3: With us on the Huddle we have Jordan Williams Taxpayers 1139 00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,160 Speaker 3: Union and Gareth Hugh's director at the Well Being Economy 1140 00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:16,880 Speaker 3: Alliance former Green Party MPHI you two Hello, right, we 1141 00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:18,640 Speaker 3: might come back to the working from home.

Even 1144 00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,680 Speaker 3: if the ex wife is drawing media attention to it 1145 00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,000 Speaker 3: and it is circulating on social media, is it any 1146 00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:31,560 Speaker 3: of our business? 1147 00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:36,719 Speaker 22: You still think no, Very clearly. You want to know 1148 00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:40,560 Speaker 22: whether your leaders in a democracy af flawed either, you know, 1149 00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:45,759 Speaker 22: in various different ways. And so you know, people say 1150 00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:49,200 Speaker 22: you don't like negative politics or mut ragging or anything 1151 00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,480 Speaker 22: like that, but very clearly people do. Because actually any 1152 00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:55,359 Speaker 22: politician will say how great they are. It's the it's 1153 00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:59,560 Speaker 22: the other side. And I know we can't repeat what 1154 00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:04,840 Speaker 22: the specific allegations are, but it's extremely tautary and strike 1155 00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:09,120 Speaker 22: right to the character of the person. As he was discussing, 1156 00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:14,160 Speaker 22: I'm really in two minds on this. I have seen 1157 00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:18,400 Speaker 22: a very nasty streak or side of Christopher Hipkins. He 1158 00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:22,080 Speaker 22: defamed me during the last lectioning campaign. His own press 1159 00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:25,400 Speaker 22: secretary acknowledged it was wrong and said he was you know, 1160 00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:27,000 Speaker 22: an apology was coming or a correction. 1161 00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:28,080 Speaker 4: It never came. 1162 00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,400 Speaker 3: And remember he had a crack at the KFC. I 1163 00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:35,200 Speaker 3: think he had a crack at the case Taliban, the 1164 00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,560 Speaker 3: Taliban all he had a crack at the two who 1165 00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:38,440 Speaker 3: went over that. 1166 00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:40,879 Speaker 22: I don't think, and I'm quite comfortable to I think 1167 00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,680 Speaker 22: it'd be defend defensible from a mation point of view 1168 00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:47,280 Speaker 22: that he is economic with the truth and has a nasty, 1169 00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:52,360 Speaker 22: nasty streak. And so when I saw that post, I 1170 00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,320 Speaker 22: sort of have some sympathy with the ex wife and 1171 00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:58,160 Speaker 22: that if she is there, you know, his his you know, 1172 00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:00,480 Speaker 22: Chippy's brand is you know, mister friend and if she 1173 00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:03,480 Speaker 22: is there sea thing, thinking that, well, you know, if 1174 00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:06,279 Speaker 22: only they knew, I can have some sympathy. On the 1175 00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:13,400 Speaker 22: other hand, horrendous for the children, Absolutely horrendous and totally unfair, 1176 00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:17,200 Speaker 22: and that I was tired of something. And I've not 1177 00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:21,800 Speaker 22: seen the whole pressa but my staff was saying, you know, 1178 00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,960 Speaker 22: he you know, he came across very human and was upset. 1179 00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:27,680 Speaker 22: Both of that can be true. But I do think 1180 00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:30,560 Speaker 22: that it is a really tough situation the media are 1181 00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:33,000 Speaker 22: in because quite rightly, there is a section of the 1182 00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:37,520 Speaker 22: population going, well, hang on, you went after Sam. 1183 00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:39,680 Speaker 4: The tower. 1184 00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:46,960 Speaker 22: Yeah, they didn't say that it was alleged or unconfirmed allegations. Well, 1185 00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:49,279 Speaker 22: I mean you know it is the ex wife. Who 1186 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,000 Speaker 22: are the media expecting that, you know, to confirm. 1187 00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,080 Speaker 3: She can pony up the evidence. Everyone will run it. 1188 00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:58,960 Speaker 3: That's the difficulty, Gareth, What do you reckon our business 1189 00:55:59,040 --> 00:55:59,200 Speaker 3: or not? 1190 00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:01,040 Speaker 2: Oh, I don't think so. 1191 00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:04,800 Speaker 3: I mean it's the think we ignore it then, Gareth. 1192 00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:07,360 Speaker 2: No, No, what I'm saying is if it comes to 1193 00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:10,920 Speaker 2: issues of illegality, which isn't a case in this situation, 1194 00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:15,160 Speaker 2: hypocrisy or public trust, it isn't the public interest. Just 1195 00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:18,200 Speaker 2: because the public is interest interested doesn't mean it's in 1196 00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:20,839 Speaker 2: the public interest. And I think the media buy in large, 1197 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:22,680 Speaker 2: have stuck a good balance. You know, they're not repeating 1198 00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:27,840 Speaker 2: the allegations. Remember that post actually was deleted. Children involved, 1199 00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:30,200 Speaker 2: which I think we've all got to keep top of mind. 1200 00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:33,680 Speaker 2: And I did watch the press conference online and what 1201 00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:37,440 Speaker 2: I saw was a very tough situation with a human 1202 00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:40,719 Speaker 2: being really, you know, nearly breaking down when it comes 1203 00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:42,960 Speaker 2: to question around us kids and how they're doing. So 1204 00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:46,800 Speaker 2: it's tough for politicians, it's tough for politicians families, and 1205 00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:48,440 Speaker 2: I think we've got to be really careful when we 1206 00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:50,240 Speaker 2: talk about you know, these issues. 1207 00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:52,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, fair point, All right, we'll take a brief break, 1208 00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:54,760 Speaker 3: then we'll come back a seventeen away from six. 1209 00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:59,719 Speaker 1: The Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty, the only 1210 00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:01,200 Speaker 1: global brand. 1211 00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:03,280 Speaker 3: Right, you're back with the Huddle Jordan Williams and Gareth 1212 00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:05,719 Speaker 3: Gareth Hughes. Gareth, we've been talking about the food data 1213 00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:08,080 Speaker 3: because we've got food inflation data and I think it's 1214 00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:11,080 Speaker 3: becoming pretty clear that the fact the cost of living 1215 00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:13,760 Speaker 3: has not abated yet and what is going on around 1216 00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:15,680 Speaker 3: is going to make the cost of living even worse 1217 00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:17,800 Speaker 3: means this is going to become quite a big problem 1218 00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:18,360 Speaker 3: for the selection. 1219 00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:22,000 Speaker 2: What do you think, Oh, absolutely, I mean we've already 1220 00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:23,520 Speaker 2: had a cost of living crisis. Now we're going to 1221 00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:26,040 Speaker 2: have an energy crisis. We're going to struggle with the 1222 00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:28,800 Speaker 2: two thirds of urea for fertilizer that we bring into 1223 00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:31,040 Speaker 2: this country. It's going to have a huge impact. You know, 1224 00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:33,680 Speaker 2: I'm a vegetarian, so veggie's up nine percent is a 1225 00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:36,080 Speaker 2: big worry in the last year. But it's my mince 1226 00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:38,560 Speaker 2: loving boy, the teenager who goes through tons of the stuff. 1227 00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:43,200 Speaker 2: You know, that's more than twenty percent. So already Kiwi 1228 00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:45,360 Speaker 2: families are really struggling with the price with. 1229 00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:46,120 Speaker 7: The cost of living. 1230 00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:48,440 Speaker 2: Mince was one of those traditional staples, you know, you 1231 00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:50,240 Speaker 2: could always sort of rely on it to bulk out 1232 00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:53,320 Speaker 2: the meal and feed the whole family. And for the government, 1233 00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:55,480 Speaker 2: you know, they don't really have a particularly good or 1234 00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:59,040 Speaker 2: strong story around cost of living. Crashing the economy and 1235 00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:02,520 Speaker 2: driving people into one employment and across the ditch hasn't worked. 1236 00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:07,000 Speaker 2: You know, OCRs might actually increase along with interest rates. 1237 00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:09,400 Speaker 2: So the government's very weak on this and this is 1238 00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:13,720 Speaker 2: what the opinion polling shows. Kiwis want actual tangible outcomes 1239 00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:16,080 Speaker 2: on the basics things like mints and veggies. 1240 00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:18,400 Speaker 3: Yes, So what does it mean for the National Party 1241 00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:19,360 Speaker 3: election strategy. 1242 00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:23,840 Speaker 22: It's well, it is a huge test for Nikola Willis 1243 00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:27,400 Speaker 22: in the coming weeks because it does appear we are 1244 00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:31,160 Speaker 22: on the same path as COVID in that there is 1245 00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:34,080 Speaker 22: talk about support, you know, and quite rightly there should 1246 00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:40,200 Speaker 22: be support, but no talk of the government itself trimming 1247 00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:44,400 Speaker 22: its belt or sharpening a pencil in the way that 1248 00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:46,920 Speaker 22: need to. And so what that results in is just 1249 00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:51,400 Speaker 22: like COVID, you end up with boosting inflation, which is 1250 00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:53,720 Speaker 22: going to be the case anyway with the high fuel 1251 00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:58,560 Speaker 22: prices on the meat you know, New Zealand has really 1252 00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:03,480 Speaker 22: enjoyed very high commodity prices and we've benefited from red meat, 1253 00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:06,320 Speaker 22: and our dollar is not very good. This is the 1254 00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:10,120 Speaker 22: flip side of that coin. But between food and energy, 1255 00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:14,160 Speaker 22: that really hurts a particular well, it hurts low income 1256 00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:14,920 Speaker 22: New Zealanders. 1257 00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:17,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, well it food hurts everybody, right, food hurts everybody 1258 00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:20,720 Speaker 3: just proportionately. Yeah, much, that's right, much much more, and 1259 00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,840 Speaker 3: it's impossible to escape. Now, Gareth, how do you feel 1260 00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:26,000 Speaker 3: about working from home? Because I'm just going to disclaimer 1261 00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:29,640 Speaker 3: I hate it for multiple reasons, but everybody's just going 1262 00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:31,080 Speaker 3: to dick around at home and do their washing and 1263 00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:32,960 Speaker 3: not actually work. But how do you feel about going 1264 00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:34,720 Speaker 3: to do the working from home to save the fuel? 1265 00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:36,120 Speaker 5: I love it. 1266 00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:38,880 Speaker 2: I think it's a good real rise. Three days a week, 1267 00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:42,200 Speaker 2: two days in the office. I know it's not possible 1268 00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:46,000 Speaker 2: for everyone, but you know your previous commentator from Westpac 1269 00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:48,800 Speaker 2: talked about the seventy five percent chance of rationing. I 1270 00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:51,560 Speaker 2: don't know why we're not doing the easy, low hanging 1271 00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:54,480 Speaker 2: fruit which doesn't cost money. You know, we've got all 1272 00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:56,120 Speaker 2: the tools and kit to be able to do this. 1273 00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:58,959 Speaker 2: We've done it before. I just think government departments should 1274 00:59:59,000 --> 00:59:59,920 Speaker 2: be a bit pragmatic. 1275 01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:02,240 Speaker 3: You make a very very good point, right, if it 1276 01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:04,800 Speaker 3: does get to the point where we do have to ration, 1277 01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:09,800 Speaker 3: does the failure to ration as early as now when 1278 01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:12,440 Speaker 3: we're talking about it, does that reflect badly on the government? 1279 01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:13,960 Speaker 7: Oh exactly. 1280 01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:17,360 Speaker 2: And I think they've been relatively relaxed as this crisis 1281 01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:19,560 Speaker 2: has played out over the last couple of weeks. I 1282 01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:22,360 Speaker 2: think they should be moving with a lot more urgency. Look, 1283 01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:25,280 Speaker 2: we should be, you know, bringing back support for electric vehicles. 1284 01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:26,320 Speaker 7: We should be rolling our. 1285 01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:30,400 Speaker 2: You know, this is the energy independence that's going to 1286 01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:32,760 Speaker 2: save manager and protect us in the Senate. 1287 01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:39,040 Speaker 3: Stop it, Gareth, you just want some help getting I mean, 1288 01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:40,760 Speaker 3: we are possibly getting ahead of ourselves. 1289 01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:44,880 Speaker 22: But as right, the thing is is that the National 1290 01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:47,080 Speaker 22: Party default and I saw they send an email to 1291 01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:49,680 Speaker 22: these supporters on Friday night that was forwarded to me 1292 01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:51,960 Speaker 22: that said, you know, New Zealand is well positioned and 1293 01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:54,160 Speaker 22: resilient and all of that, and with the markets have 1294 01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:58,880 Speaker 22: been very clear us in Australia we're stuffed and we 1295 01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:01,600 Speaker 22: actually I think we because with the last link of 1296 01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:08,880 Speaker 22: a very long logistics chain and we don't hold our 1297 01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:14,440 Speaker 22: stock on shore, and the South Korea and Singapore are 1298 01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:16,160 Speaker 22: being quite well. Not so at Singapore, but South Korea 1299 01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:21,240 Speaker 22: being very clear that even even supplies that are on 1300 01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:24,040 Speaker 22: the ship outside the country, they will instruct the ship 1301 01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:27,200 Speaker 22: and companies to bring it back and compensate for breach 1302 01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:29,560 Speaker 22: of contract. Which is all very well, we'll get some compensation, 1303 01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:31,960 Speaker 22: but we actually need the gas now. In terms of 1304 01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:34,640 Speaker 22: the work from home, look, that will happened naturally if 1305 01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:37,880 Speaker 22: there is rationing, you don't like it or not. In 1306 01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:39,680 Speaker 22: terms of whether the government should be working from home, 1307 01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:43,400 Speaker 22: you know, reasonable minds from a taxpayer perspective can can differ. Now, 1308 01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:44,760 Speaker 22: of course they should all be at work. One of 1309 01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:46,640 Speaker 22: the reasons why Wellington is so dead is that they 1310 01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:48,640 Speaker 22: didn't get back to work quickly thanks to Ory far now. 1311 01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:52,400 Speaker 22: But on the other hand, having them alleled home, ideally 1312 01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:55,520 Speaker 22: in bed doing nothing probably results in a more productive 1313 01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:56,200 Speaker 22: New Zealand too. 1314 01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:59,320 Speaker 3: So hold on, are you saying if we send the 1315 01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:01,360 Speaker 3: public servants home and get them to do nothing, the 1316 01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:03,920 Speaker 3: world is a better place. Of course, yes, of course. 1317 01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:06,720 Speaker 7: Any servants or. 1318 01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:10,919 Speaker 2: Did Jordan work with any public servants over COVID, because 1319 01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:11,440 Speaker 2: I know I did. 1320 01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:12,880 Speaker 7: These guys were working there. 1321 01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:13,840 Speaker 9: A few of them. 1322 01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:17,280 Speaker 22: No, that's not actually I had staff right in the 1323 01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:19,880 Speaker 22: right in the heart of they work for me subsequently, 1324 01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:25,240 Speaker 22: and no, that that's not depend which depended which agency. 1325 01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:27,120 Speaker 22: But by and large, no, there was there was a 1326 01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:27,360 Speaker 22: lot of. 1327 01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:29,640 Speaker 3: I mean, I think it came down to characters in 1328 01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:31,520 Speaker 3: the garrison. Like we all had friends who was who 1329 01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:33,160 Speaker 3: were working in the public service their butts off, and 1330 01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:35,240 Speaker 3: then others who decided to renovate their home and pretend 1331 01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:35,800 Speaker 3: they were working. 1332 01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:38,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's the same in the business world, you know, 1333 01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:41,360 Speaker 2: and in the real world as well. But look, the 1334 01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:42,960 Speaker 2: heart of the matter is we might have to do 1335 01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:46,520 Speaker 2: work from home anyway, we might hope more serious things. 1336 01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:51,840 Speaker 22: Twenty two staff. I really think my organization's productivity suffers 1337 01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:56,560 Speaker 22: not to and it's and as much as I of course, 1338 01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:58,160 Speaker 22: I want to be flexible as much as I can. 1339 01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:01,680 Speaker 22: But the idea of going to a permanent or to 1340 01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:04,280 Speaker 22: be a sort of some sort of hybrid thing, it 1341 01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:04,880 Speaker 22: would be awful. 1342 01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:06,800 Speaker 3: It would be awful, But and ye know, we've got 1343 01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:08,080 Speaker 3: to do what we've got to do. I've come around 1344 01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:10,640 Speaker 3: to the idea. Actually now I'm a fan of it. Guys. 1345 01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:10,920 Speaker 4: Thank you. 1346 01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:14,120 Speaker 22: Podcasting from your feet room and we've been already and 1347 01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:16,600 Speaker 22: he's al at no time exactly like that. 1348 01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:20,160 Speaker 3: Yay for everyone. Jordan Williams, Taxpayers Union, Garethheugh's director of 1349 01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:22,760 Speaker 3: the Well Being Economy Alliance, now huddle this evening eight 1350 01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:23,400 Speaker 3: away from six. 1351 01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:27,840 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Duplessy allan Drive full show podcast on 1352 01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:30,880 Speaker 1: my Heart Radio powered by News talk z'b. 1353 01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:34,400 Speaker 3: Omg here that no one is going to control us again, 1354 01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:37,280 Speaker 3: stopping alarmists, and there's lots of exclamations and capitals in 1355 01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:40,400 Speaker 3: that one. I suspect that that text actually is probably 1356 01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:44,120 Speaker 3: that sentiment. It may may go some way to explaining 1357 01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:46,640 Speaker 3: why the government is pretty relaxed at the moment, because 1358 01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:48,400 Speaker 3: when you look around what everybody else was doing, like 1359 01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:50,479 Speaker 3: Sri Lanka going to the four day week, blah blah blah, 1360 01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:52,680 Speaker 3: we do look like we are being quite chill about this. 1361 01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:54,520 Speaker 3: So I'm happy about that because I don't need to 1362 01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:57,280 Speaker 3: be stressed out by these things. But it is also 1363 01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:00,920 Speaker 3: it's probably a little it would be if we reflect, 1364 01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:02,840 Speaker 3: if we do have to ration, and then we reflect back, 1365 01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:04,560 Speaker 3: we might be like you took it a bit too chill, 1366 01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:07,120 Speaker 3: But it'll be because no one wants to be controlled. 1367 01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:07,640 Speaker 5: We just don't. 1368 01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:10,280 Speaker 3: Well it's too triggering. Ay, it's the COVID thing all 1369 01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:12,440 Speaker 3: over again. Now I said to you, I needed to 1370 01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:14,720 Speaker 3: talk to you about the Grace Tame drama in Australia. 1371 01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:17,280 Speaker 3: If you haven't been following this, Grace Tame as the 1372 01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:20,000 Speaker 3: former Australian of the Year. She was given the awll 1373 01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:22,040 Speaker 3: She's a young one. She's given the award for being 1374 01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:25,040 Speaker 3: an advocate for survivors of sexual assault because she herself 1375 01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:27,440 Speaker 3: was a survivor of sexual assault. She has basically just 1376 01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:31,000 Speaker 3: unraveled her entire career in the space of about four weeks, 1377 01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:33,440 Speaker 3: four to six weeks, because she was at We remember 1378 01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:36,360 Speaker 3: when this is about basically started piping up too much 1379 01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:38,760 Speaker 3: on the Palestine issue. Do you remember when the Israeli 1380 01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:41,280 Speaker 3: president was over there and in Australia and they all 1381 01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:43,320 Speaker 3: going hard in the holding the rallies and being very 1382 01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:45,280 Speaker 3: angry at them. She was at one of the rallies 1383 01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,600 Speaker 3: and she led the protesters in a chant of globalize 1384 01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:51,600 Speaker 3: the Intofada. Now, since what's happened in Bondai Beach, Australians 1385 01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:53,480 Speaker 3: don't have a lot of truck for that kind of crap. 1386 01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:55,840 Speaker 3: They don't want the globalize the into Farda chants and 1387 01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:58,560 Speaker 3: stuff like that. So as a result of that, they 1388 01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:01,120 Speaker 3: have just got really cross and all of her speaking 1389 01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:05,040 Speaker 3: gigs for the entire year have dried up, and it's 1390 01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:07,200 Speaker 3: only March and she's got no more work, and so 1391 01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:10,240 Speaker 3: she's upset about that, and so she's blamed. She's blames 1392 01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:13,040 Speaker 3: it on a media smear campaign. But then yesterday she 1393 01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:14,640 Speaker 3: went on the ABC and made the whole thing a 1394 01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:17,720 Speaker 3: whole lot worse. She claimed that she said claims by 1395 01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:21,000 Speaker 3: Israeli women that they were raped and sexually abused by 1396 01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:25,680 Speaker 3: Hamas terrorists during the October seven attacks were propaganda. She 1397 01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:28,680 Speaker 3: says it didn't happen problematic for her because she is 1398 01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:31,000 Speaker 3: an advocate for survivors of sexual assault, and what did 1399 01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:33,280 Speaker 3: they say that say believe the women, except for, of course, 1400 01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:34,960 Speaker 3: if you are one of the Israeli women, it would 1401 01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:37,920 Speaker 3: appear as far as Grace tame as concerned as a result, 1402 01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:40,960 Speaker 3: the Israelian embassy, because now, as if that wasn't bad enough, 1403 01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:42,520 Speaker 3: that she's got the headlines for saying that, now the 1404 01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:44,800 Speaker 3: Israelis have weighed into it as well, and the Embassy's 1405 01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:47,360 Speaker 3: told her off and told her to educate herself. So, yeah, 1406 01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:50,360 Speaker 3: I feel like I would have thought that I would 1407 01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:52,720 Speaker 3: have thought Grace that I was gonna say, I would 1408 01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:55,360 Speaker 3: have thought Grace would learned something from the globe lies 1409 01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:57,400 Speaker 3: the interofarta chance. But then again, if you think back, 1410 01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:01,479 Speaker 3: Grace has been getting on people's nerves for a little 1411 01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:04,040 Speaker 3: while actually, so it's probably not a surprise anyway. But 1412 01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:07,640 Speaker 3: I'm just going past behaviors indicative future behavior. I expect 1413 01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:10,960 Speaker 3: more controversy there. Shane Jones with us next, on all 1414 01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:14,320 Speaker 3: the money he set aside for geothermal projects.

Now the government's putting more 1426 01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:55,120 Speaker 3: money into developing geothermal projects. Resources Minister Shane Jones has 1427 01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:58,160 Speaker 3: announced this afternoon that fifty million dollars has been ring 1428 01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:00,960 Speaker 3: fence for exploration and project building and he joins us 1429 01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:04,400 Speaker 3: now high Shane hi a, Greetings. How many projects does 1430 01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:05,680 Speaker 3: fifty million dollars get you? 1431 01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:10,680 Speaker 5: Well, we announced three today. One particularly important one is 1432 01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:16,160 Speaker 5: going to represent actual drilling of wells around Fakatani because 1433 01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:18,760 Speaker 5: we're confident that businesses here will be able to tap 1434 01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:21,800 Speaker 5: into geothermal energy, but those individual businesses don't have the 1435 01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:25,640 Speaker 5: three million dollars to take the risk. An additional one 1436 01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:28,240 Speaker 5: will be happening in Rotoro and Codo, where the resources 1437 01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:33,040 Speaker 5: are quite profound. However, before we moved to full on extraction, 1438 01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:35,640 Speaker 5: the Crown wants to work with private sector partners and 1439 01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:40,320 Speaker 5: landowners to ensure that the resource sustainability won't be compromised 1440 01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:44,400 Speaker 5: if we intensify both investment and utilization and those locations. 1441 01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:45,120 Speaker 9: So why is it? 1442 01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:49,240 Speaker 3: What is the success rate of these projects? Do you think? 1443 01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:55,000 Speaker 5: Well, of course some of the drilling does strike dry wells, 1444 01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:57,560 Speaker 5: but I want everyone to remind themselves it hadn't have 1445 01:07:57,600 --> 01:07:59,720 Speaker 5: been for our forefathers and their wives back in the 1446 01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:04,080 Speaker 5: nineteen fifties and sixties, we wouldn't have a geothermal resource 1447 01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:06,760 Speaker 5: that's been commercialized in New Zealand. The crown stepped up 1448 01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:09,840 Speaker 5: to the plate in the nineteen fifties did an enormous 1449 01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:12,760 Speaker 5: amount of drilling, not always successful. That a number of 1450 01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:17,920 Speaker 5: those draw holes have turned into major electricity suppliers. And 1451 01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:21,040 Speaker 5: if the private sector can work with the crown and 1452 01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:24,559 Speaker 5: we can insist in some de risking on land where 1453 01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:27,759 Speaker 5: we know there's substantial potential, it's a win win situation. 1454 01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:32,439 Speaker 3: If it seems like a reasonable success, right, why can't 1455 01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:35,200 Speaker 3: they find the private backing to do it without government assistance? 1456 01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:39,479 Speaker 5: Okay, so if you're a gentail and you dominate the 1457 01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:43,040 Speaker 5: provision of electricity, why would you supply more electricity if 1458 01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:45,559 Speaker 5: it's going to drop the price. This is why telling 1459 01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:49,400 Speaker 5: you media people, the reason that our electricity system is 1460 01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:53,040 Speaker 5: not delivering affordable energy or in deer or indeed secure 1461 01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:57,800 Speaker 5: levels of energy is because the gentailers are gaming the market. 1462 01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:01,040 Speaker 5: They continue to invest in so way that it suits 1463 01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:02,160 Speaker 5: the individual business. 1464 01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:04,639 Speaker 3: The only parent can get investment is it these people? 1465 01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:10,160 Speaker 5: Well, a number of the investors are putting their own 1466 01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:13,400 Speaker 5: money into the project. We are working with Eastland. They've 1467 01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:17,479 Speaker 5: put twenty million dollars in. We are putting some money in. Sadly, 1468 01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:20,040 Speaker 5: a lot of the locations are on Mildi Land, and 1469 01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:23,400 Speaker 5: that itself is a major complication because a lot of 1470 01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:25,240 Speaker 5: the hup who are divided as to whether or not 1471 01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:27,599 Speaker 5: that time should be used. I said to them today, 1472 01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:31,120 Speaker 5: it's about time you thought about national security and economic 1473 01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:34,360 Speaker 5: resilience and don't trot out any more treaty fairy tales 1474 01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:34,960 Speaker 5: to the Mutwa. 1475 01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:38,080 Speaker 3: Now when are we going to get the energy? Let's 1476 01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:40,200 Speaker 3: say that they get onto this as fast as they 1477 01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:42,559 Speaker 3: possibly can, hundred percent success. Right, when do we actually 1478 01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:43,719 Speaker 3: start to see this on the grid? 1479 01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:47,240 Speaker 5: Oh it'll be a matter of years, sadly, but I 1480 01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:50,479 Speaker 5: mean where the situation is worstened also by the attitude 1481 01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:53,640 Speaker 5: of regional councils. You may know sixteen million dollars were 1482 01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:56,640 Speaker 5: dedicated about eighteen months ago for supercritical. Now that's a 1483 01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:59,040 Speaker 5: bit of a movie shot. I accept that. But if 1484 01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:01,599 Speaker 5: they can go five to eight kilometers ie the drillers 1485 01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:04,960 Speaker 5: into the earth and tap into a hitherto unknown massive 1486 01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:08,479 Speaker 5: source of energy. Then it'll completely transform the way in 1487 01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:12,240 Speaker 5: which electricity and energy is derived in New Zealand. Sadly, 1488 01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:15,719 Speaker 5: I'm advised that they're being hobbled by some very narrow 1489 01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:20,719 Speaker 5: and very troubling attitudes in the regional council from Micatto. 1490 01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:22,280 Speaker 5: So I'm going to get to the bottom of that. 1491 01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:27,080 Speaker 5: We are not going to have energy held RNSOM by unelectable, 1492 01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:30,600 Speaker 5: unaccountable bureaucrats and regional council That's why I want to 1493 01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:31,919 Speaker 5: destroy regional councils. 1494 01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:38,280 Speaker 3: Shane Kelly Echold from Westpac was on before about half 1495 01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:40,439 Speaker 3: an hour ago, and he reckons that we have about 1496 01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:42,519 Speaker 3: a seventy five percent chance that we're going to end 1497 01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:44,960 Speaker 3: up with some kind of rationing of fuel. What do 1498 01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:45,439 Speaker 3: you reckon? 1499 01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:50,000 Speaker 5: Well, once we go into category three and four, Kelly 1500 01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:52,600 Speaker 5: may very well be correct, but all I can do 1501 01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:54,880 Speaker 5: is repeat, and I have to believe that we'd be 1502 01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:58,280 Speaker 5: told the truth by the energy companies that they have 1503 01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:02,960 Speaker 5: sufficient flows of fuel on the vessels and also in country. 1504 01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:07,680 Speaker 5: I suspect what Kelly's referring to is can the refineries 1505 01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:10,880 Speaker 5: continue to operate if there is growing uncertainty as to 1506 01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:15,400 Speaker 5: where they get the feedstock. Now, the feedstock, disproportionately for 1507 01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:18,800 Speaker 5: Southeast Asia comes from the Middle East, but it's not 1508 01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:22,479 Speaker 5: the only source of feedstock. And I suspect what he's 1509 01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:25,559 Speaker 5: also talking about. Even if there is an early cessation 1510 01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:30,080 Speaker 5: to these hostilities, there's a whole lot of structural disruptiveness 1511 01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:32,120 Speaker 5: that we're going to have to work through. But I 1512 01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:34,360 Speaker 5: don't want anyone panic in feeling that there is not 1513 01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:37,000 Speaker 5: enough fuel in New Zealand, or indeed not enough fuel 1514 01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:41,519 Speaker 5: on the water. We are operating within the framework the 1515 01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:44,680 Speaker 5: statutory holding obligations from the companies. But I also want 1516 01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:47,680 Speaker 5: to remind you, Heather, we went to a just in 1517 01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:51,479 Speaker 5: time model to suit the oil import companies and it 1518 01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:54,639 Speaker 5: was introduced by the Labor government when they closed down 1519 01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:56,639 Speaker 5: the refinery. I don't know why you people don't agree 1520 01:11:56,680 --> 01:11:57,280 Speaker 5: with me on the slope. 1521 01:11:57,400 --> 01:11:59,680 Speaker 3: Oh what are you talking about? We spent time on 1522 01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:00,760 Speaker 3: front day agreeing with. 1523 01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:01,240 Speaker 7: You on this. 1524 01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:02,960 Speaker 23: Take you up on it. 1525 01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:09,920 Speaker 5: We've got three hundred million liters of redundant storage space 1526 01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:14,640 Speaker 5: in Rua Kaka Rukaka, which means two parrots. Sadly, one 1527 01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:17,559 Speaker 5: hundred parrots arrived. And they want to stop sand mining there, 1528 01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:20,640 Speaker 5: but that's another matter, and there is no shortage of 1529 01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:23,519 Speaker 5: redundant space that can be recapitalized, and this is a 1530 01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:28,080 Speaker 5: matter that the officials with Channel the Importation Facility will 1531 01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:30,920 Speaker 5: be working through once we come out of these set 1532 01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:31,559 Speaker 5: of challenges. 1533 01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:33,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, good stuff, listen, thank you very much for taking 1534 01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:35,280 Speaker 3: the time to talk to us. Go well, let's Shane Jones, 1535 01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:36,280 Speaker 3: the Resources Minister. 1536 01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:37,160 Speaker 23: Yeah. 1537 01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:39,559 Speaker 3: By the way, if you haven't, if you didn't hear 1538 01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:42,280 Speaker 3: the interview that we did on Friday with the chap 1539 01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:46,280 Speaker 3: who used to run Marsden Point refinery, go back and 1540 01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:48,439 Speaker 3: have a listen to that, because he is under he's 1541 01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:52,040 Speaker 3: under no, he's there in no doubt whatsoever that if 1542 01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:54,479 Speaker 3: Marsden Point was still going, we would have at least 1543 01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:56,479 Speaker 3: more places that we could get away from because at 1544 01:12:56,479 --> 01:12:57,960 Speaker 3: the moment you can only get it from like basically 1545 01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,479 Speaker 3: a couple of places refined oil, but we could get 1546 01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:02,719 Speaker 3: the crude oil from a thousand different places, he said, 1547 01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:05,160 Speaker 3: And there was an option to keep the thing going 1548 01:13:05,320 --> 01:13:07,240 Speaker 3: if the government had stepped in. The government chose not to, 1549 01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:08,880 Speaker 3: So gon't ever listen to it if you're not convinced, 1550 01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:12,280 Speaker 3: like Shane is. I'm convinced Shane's convinced that the manager 1551 01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:13,920 Speaker 3: is convinced. You could be convinced as well if you 1552 01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,040 Speaker 3: go listen to it. Now finally got you some detail 1553 01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:18,920 Speaker 3: on what happened with the police chase. And I'm sorry 1554 01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:20,960 Speaker 3: it took me so long, but I'm gonna be honest 1555 01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:21,920 Speaker 3: with you about what happened. 1556 01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:22,080 Speaker 7: Here. 1557 01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:25,519 Speaker 3: We told Will, We said, well, find out what happened, 1558 01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:27,080 Speaker 3: find out what happened. We'll said, I'm going to find 1559 01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:28,280 Speaker 3: out what happened. I'm gonna come back and I'm going 1560 01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:30,360 Speaker 3: to tell you what happened. And then Will forgot and 1561 01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:33,280 Speaker 3: Well's gone home, and so then I went out to 1562 01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:35,800 Speaker 3: the guys and I'm not lying. I'm well, I'm gonna 1563 01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:37,639 Speaker 3: have to talk. I'm I'm going to have to deal 1564 01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:39,439 Speaker 3: with this with Will later, because Will is going to 1565 01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:41,200 Speaker 3: be very cross with me about saying this out to you, 1566 01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:43,920 Speaker 3: because I'm basically doing a jade pool here. I'm airing 1567 01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:46,840 Speaker 3: our dirty laundry. But there are no children involved, so 1568 01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:49,519 Speaker 3: it's okay. Anyway, Then I went, well, the children are 1569 01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:51,240 Speaker 3: probably the news room stuff. So I went out there 1570 01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:52,040 Speaker 3: and I was like, what happened? 1571 01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:52,719 Speaker 1: Was happened? 1572 01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:54,600 Speaker 3: What happened? It's been two hours. I can't take you 1573 01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:55,960 Speaker 3: that long to figure it out. They were like, no, we' 1574 01:13:56,600 --> 01:13:58,439 Speaker 3: well we know what happened, so why don't you tell me. 1575 01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:00,920 Speaker 3: I didn't know, So anyway, I'm going to have to 1576 01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:01,479 Speaker 3: deal with Will. 1577 01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:04,479 Speaker 24: So if you're Jade in the newsroom staff the children, 1578 01:14:04,479 --> 01:14:05,920 Speaker 24: does that mean you're gonna have to take them to Fiji? 1579 01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:09,400 Speaker 3: I'm taking the children. I'm taking the children to Fiji immediately. 1580 01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:10,799 Speaker 24: I'll forgive you immediately. 1581 01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:12,960 Speaker 3: And Will, who is chippy, is going to hang out 1582 01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:15,200 Speaker 3: with Cydy and Sydney because that's what and then cry 1583 01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:17,760 Speaker 3: at the airport anyway, So it's not to make fun 1584 01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:19,519 Speaker 3: of what's going on for that family, and that's really hard. 1585 01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:22,040 Speaker 3: I feel bad for them anyway. So what happened is 1586 01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:24,680 Speaker 3: that if you saw the white you running around the 1587 01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:27,639 Speaker 3: place in Auckland, there's the White Ranger that was stolen 1588 01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:29,840 Speaker 3: and the group of chaps who were in the White 1589 01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:32,679 Speaker 3: Ranger stole the White Ranger. They stole it from an address, 1590 01:14:32,680 --> 01:14:35,479 Speaker 3: by the looks of things, allegedly at Bleak House Road 1591 01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:39,080 Speaker 3: in Hawick. It was an alleged home invasion and they 1592 01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:42,240 Speaker 3: were allegedly armed with the machete on multiple occasions, the 1593 01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:44,120 Speaker 3: vehicle was seen driving on the wrong side of the 1594 01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:47,200 Speaker 3: road at high speeds. The cops finally caught up with them. 1595 01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:49,760 Speaker 3: Sounds like possibly on K road. Yeah, the K road 1596 01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:51,560 Speaker 3: Becausedannika said to me, are you Mamber what happened on 1597 01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:54,200 Speaker 3: K Road? I was like, yep, thank you K Road. 1598 01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:57,559 Speaker 3: They used a distraction device, they used a non lethal 1599 01:14:57,680 --> 01:15:01,320 Speaker 3: sponge round, and they used a police dog and unfortunately, 1600 01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:03,360 Speaker 3: one of the bad guys was bitten by the dog. 1601 01:15:04,720 --> 01:15:09,200 Speaker 10: Quarter past six, It's the Heather Duplessy Allen Drive Full 1602 01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:15,720 Speaker 10: Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by newstalgs BB, Crudging the 1603 01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:17,519 Speaker 10: numbers and getting the results. 1604 01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:21,080 Speaker 1: It's Heather Duplessy Allen on the Business Hour with Maths, 1605 01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:22,520 Speaker 1: insurance and investments. 1606 01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:25,760 Speaker 4: Your futures in good hands newstalg Z EDB. 1607 01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:28,839 Speaker 3: Heather, I hope the dog is okay.

I'll be interested with tonight's Global 1613 01:15:45,320 --> 01:15:50,240 Speaker 23: dairy trade auction. Incidentally, Heather useless trivia time the four 1614 01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:54,120 Speaker 23: hundredth Global Dairy Trade events since we kicked them off 1615 01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,400 Speaker 23: in two thousand and eight. They used to be on 1616 01:15:56,520 --> 01:16:00,599 Speaker 23: a once a month basis. These days they're on monthly 1617 01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:05,000 Speaker 23: the first two Tuesday or Wednesday mornings, or the first 1618 01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:08,280 Speaker 23: and third Wednesday mornings of the month. Okay, So is 1619 01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:13,120 Speaker 23: Trump's wore good for dairy prices. There's long been a 1620 01:16:13,240 --> 01:16:16,960 Speaker 23: theory of correlation between whole milk powder and oil, and 1621 01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:19,280 Speaker 23: if you to believe the futures market, my. 1622 01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:19,840 Speaker 7: Guy at. 1623 01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:26,000 Speaker 23: At Jarden, Mike McIntyre said, holemlk powder could be flat, 1624 01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:28,799 Speaker 23: but skim milk powder up two percent. Isn't it amazing 1625 01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:31,439 Speaker 23: that things could possibly go up when we're in such 1626 01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:37,280 Speaker 23: uncertain times. Apparently on the hotar on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, 1627 01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:39,800 Speaker 23: there has been a massive price list for skim milk powder. 1628 01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:43,599 Speaker 23: They're currently getting nearly four thousand US dollars per ton. 1629 01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:47,040 Speaker 23: Our last auction for skim milk powder was it three 1630 01:16:47,479 --> 01:16:49,960 Speaker 23: two hundred and twenty dollars US per ton, So there's 1631 01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:53,679 Speaker 23: a fair bit of upside their futures market. Also picking 1632 01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:58,519 Speaker 23: amf and butter to lift by one to one and 1633 01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:01,560 Speaker 23: a half percent, So this one with interest, Heather, But 1634 01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:04,200 Speaker 23: it looks like there may be a correlation between the 1635 01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:05,880 Speaker 23: price of oil and whole milk powder. 1636 01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:08,000 Speaker 3: Okay, and listen, can you explain to me what is 1637 01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:09,760 Speaker 3: going on. What do you think is going to happen 1638 01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:11,320 Speaker 3: to fertilizer as a result of the war. 1639 01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:13,720 Speaker 23: Well, I can tell you one thing that's going to 1640 01:17:13,760 --> 01:17:16,560 Speaker 23: happen to fertilizer as a price as a result of 1641 01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:18,880 Speaker 23: the war, and it's already happened. It's going to get 1642 01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:21,160 Speaker 23: a hell of a lot more expensive. I spoke to 1643 01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:24,919 Speaker 23: Calvin Wickham, who's the chief executive of Balance Agre Nutrients, 1644 01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:27,559 Speaker 23: our biggest fertilizer co op in this country. I think 1645 01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:31,599 Speaker 23: they're responsible for roughly fifty percent of the market share. 1646 01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:35,960 Speaker 23: The other big players, Raven sound there slightly less than that. Look, 1647 01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:40,520 Speaker 23: they've got enough fertilizer and for our autumn needs traditionally 1648 01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:43,920 Speaker 23: on sheep and beef farms. Anyhow, that's when the super phosphate, 1649 01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:48,839 Speaker 23: the maintenance fertilizer would go on. And the super phosphate 1650 01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:53,920 Speaker 23: hasn't been as affected as badly as the nitrogenous fertilizers. 1651 01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:56,800 Speaker 23: And we're a bit different from Australia as well. Here 1652 01:17:56,840 --> 01:17:59,519 Speaker 23: in New Zealand, because of the climate, we plant most 1653 01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:03,240 Speaker 23: of ours in the spring, whereas in Australia they do 1654 01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:06,880 Speaker 23: all their seeding, especially for grain, in the autumn, and 1655 01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:09,719 Speaker 23: they're heading into that season right now, and they're really 1656 01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:12,880 Speaker 23: worried about a not having enough diesel and b not 1657 01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:17,960 Speaker 23: having enough especially nitrogen fertilizers like urea and dat in 1658 01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:21,200 Speaker 23: that so we're worried about more importantly what's going to 1659 01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:25,200 Speaker 23: happen in springtime. Apparently well, I was told today that 1660 01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:30,439 Speaker 23: fertilizer is subject to the same pricing effectively as oil. 1661 01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:34,200 Speaker 23: It's priced at the time of shipment. You can't buy 1662 01:18:34,280 --> 01:18:39,519 Speaker 23: it in advance. Obviously, there's significant nutrient commodities shipped through 1663 01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:43,080 Speaker 23: the Strait of Hermuz. Something like forty percent of the 1664 01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:47,640 Speaker 23: world's supply of nitrogenous fertilizers, that's the stuff that's responsible 1665 01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:50,559 Speaker 23: for feeding half the people in the world, goes through 1666 01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:54,479 Speaker 23: that passage of water or from that region. Fifty percent 1667 01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:58,479 Speaker 23: of our ours does. Already, we've seen prices increase for 1668 01:18:58,720 --> 01:19:03,519 Speaker 23: nitrogenous fertilized as circa thirty percent, and Calvin said today 1669 01:19:03,560 --> 01:19:05,920 Speaker 23: it could go It looks like it's going to go 1670 01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:09,880 Speaker 23: as high as fifty percent. However, a final comment here 1671 01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:11,799 Speaker 23: that there could be some good news on the horizon 1672 01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:16,720 Speaker 23: because Balanzagra Neutrients has a urea plant in Kapuni, Taranaki. 1673 01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:19,960 Speaker 23: There there was talk of it closing down, especially when 1674 01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:23,560 Speaker 23: the previous government decided to limit the gas supplies and 1675 01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:26,880 Speaker 23: all that sort of stuff. They were running out of gas. 1676 01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:31,240 Speaker 23: That've managed to get some more. Obviously, what's happening at 1677 01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:33,439 Speaker 23: the moment A bit like I guess Marsden point. This 1678 01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:37,120 Speaker 23: could be another Marsden point. We need to keep plants 1679 01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:40,200 Speaker 23: like Kipuni and Marsden Point open. We need to be 1680 01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:43,519 Speaker 23: more resilient when it comes to fertilizer and fuel. So 1681 01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:46,559 Speaker 23: watch this space with Kipuny, a plant that was going 1682 01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:48,880 Speaker 23: to be mothboard might make a renaissance. 1683 01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:50,519 Speaker 3: That's a very good point that you make, Jamie. Thanks 1684 01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:53,120 Speaker 3: very much. Sjammick McKay, host of the Country six twenty three. 1685 01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:57,519 Speaker 1: Whether it's macro micro or just plain economics, all on 1686 01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:00,880 Speaker 1: the Business Hour where they had the dupless and mas 1687 01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:05,280 Speaker 1: insurance and investments, your futures in good hands, news talks 1688 01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:06,679 Speaker 1: envy either. 1689 01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:09,320 Speaker 3: I know you don't take kindly to requests, but can 1690 01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:11,880 Speaker 3: you please get Megan Woods on for a Please explain 1691 01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:13,680 Speaker 3: most Actually I don't know when you get this.

So we've asked Will if he 1695 01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:23,280 Speaker 3: could get in touch with Labor. No, we haven't.

I'll 1706 01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:49,920 Speaker 3: run you through that in attack. We'll do with it. 1707 01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:51,400 Speaker 3: We'll deal with it in the next half hour. Hang 1708 01:20:51,439 --> 01:20:52,559 Speaker 3: on a tic. It's six twenty six. 1709 01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:55,920 Speaker 4: There's no business like show business. 1710 01:20:56,760 --> 01:21:00,519 Speaker 3: What is that one movie that will always make you cry? 1711 01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:03,000 Speaker 3: What a surprise? It's got this weird little pan flute. 1712 01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:05,120 Speaker 3: You know what it does, of course it's Titanic. According 1713 01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:08,479 Speaker 3: to new research, two fifths of viewers have admitted that 1714 01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:11,120 Speaker 3: they cried in Titanic, forty percent of women forty seven 1715 01:21:11,120 --> 01:21:13,479 Speaker 3: percent of women, so it's like basically out of women, 1716 01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:16,000 Speaker 3: and about a third of men cried in the movie. 1717 01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:19,960 Speaker 3: Second saddest movie The Notebook. Women almost twice as likely 1718 01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:22,080 Speaker 3: as men to reach for the tissues during that movie. 1719 01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:27,760 Speaker 3: Other tearjerkers include Ghost with Demi Moore, Gone with the Wind, Casablanca. 1720 01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:30,280 Speaker 3: Each made about one and ten of us weep. One 1721 01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:34,080 Speaker 3: of the researchers complained that Hollywood doesn't make good criers anymore, 1722 01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:37,240 Speaker 3: but AI begs to differ. Scanning all of Reddit, it 1723 01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:41,519 Speaker 3: crowned the eighties Japanese animated war film Grave of the 1724 01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:45,760 Speaker 3: Fireflies as the ultimate tear jerker. Manchester by the Sea 1725 01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:48,599 Speaker 3: from twenty sixteen came second, and then the twenty twenty 1726 01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:51,639 Speaker 3: two movie After Some which stars Paul Mescal came third. 1727 01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:57,360 Speaker 3: So weirdly, today, when I was I had to, I 1728 01:21:57,439 --> 01:21:59,760 Speaker 3: did the KINDI and then one of the kids said 1729 01:21:59,760 --> 01:22:01,080 Speaker 3: to me, how can you read this book? It was 1730 01:22:01,120 --> 01:22:04,439 Speaker 3: called The Giving Tree, and I read it and I cried. 1731 01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:08,759 Speaker 3: I was reading the kids. My son and two other boys, 1732 01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:11,280 Speaker 3: my son and Rafferty and another one there and they 1733 01:22:11,320 --> 01:22:13,040 Speaker 3: were like okay. They were still staring at me like 1734 01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:14,600 Speaker 3: what the heck was wrong with you? And I was 1735 01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:18,400 Speaker 3: crying in the book. Anyway, the teachers think there are 1736 01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:20,719 Speaker 3: problems at home. Now they're going to get me some counseling. 1737 01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:25,320 Speaker 3: Paul Bloxham on the RBA hiking the ocr next. 1738 01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:30,679 Speaker 4: My heart and my heart good. 1739 01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:40,320 Speaker 1: Everything from SMEs to the big corporates, the Business Hour 1740 01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:44,080 Speaker 1: with Heather, the duper c Allen and Mass insurance and investments, 1741 01:22:44,320 --> 01:22:47,360 Speaker 1: your futures in good hands, used talks I'd. 1742 01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:53,240 Speaker 3: Be now, gets me stuff in just to ticket's twenty 1743 01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:56,280 Speaker 3: four away from Steven Now, Australia's Reserve Bank announced it 1744 01:22:56,720 --> 01:22:59,360 Speaker 3: twenty five basis points increase in its official cash rate 1745 01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:01,840 Speaker 3: today to fall one as a couple of hours ago. 1746 01:23:01,920 --> 01:23:02,000 Speaker 23: Now. 1747 01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:05,120 Speaker 3: HSBC Chief Economist Paul Bloxam has of course been watching 1748 01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:08,800 Speaker 3: at high pool O good a right, So not unexpected 1749 01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:11,680 Speaker 3: the RBA lifting the rates, But pretty unusual globally, isn't it. 1750 01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:15,479 Speaker 25: It is is very unusual if you look across what's 1751 01:23:15,479 --> 01:23:18,439 Speaker 25: happening this week. We've got a whole range of central 1752 01:23:18,479 --> 01:23:21,080 Speaker 25: banks meeting. We've got the US Central Bank, the Federal Reserve, 1753 01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:23,960 Speaker 25: that the Bank of England, the ECB, the Bank of 1754 01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:27,200 Speaker 25: Japan and a few others, and they're not expected to 1755 01:23:27,280 --> 01:23:28,760 Speaker 25: do anything with their policy rate. 1756 01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:30,920 Speaker 7: That's the market expectation, that's our view as well. 1757 01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:34,240 Speaker 25: But the RBA is the odd man out, the odd 1758 01:23:34,320 --> 01:23:37,120 Speaker 25: one out, having lifted its policy rate today in fact, 1759 01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:38,320 Speaker 25: you know, not just lifted it. 1760 01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:40,160 Speaker 7: It lifted it in February and it's lifted it again 1761 01:23:40,240 --> 01:23:40,559 Speaker 7: in March. 1762 01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:43,639 Speaker 25: Australia is in a different spot to all of these 1763 01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:46,240 Speaker 25: other places right now, and I think a lot of. 1764 01:23:46,280 --> 01:23:48,479 Speaker 7: It is domestic. A lot of it is a unique story. 1765 01:23:48,560 --> 01:23:51,599 Speaker 25: Australia has got an economy that is growing too quickly 1766 01:23:52,120 --> 01:23:54,760 Speaker 25: for its supply capacity, so it's running well ahead of 1767 01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:57,760 Speaker 25: its speed limit, and that has delivered domestic inflation that 1768 01:23:57,880 --> 01:24:01,040 Speaker 25: is too high, and the RBA has has needed to 1769 01:24:01,080 --> 01:24:03,960 Speaker 25: take action to seek to slow the economy down. That's 1770 01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:05,800 Speaker 25: what they've done, and that's what they did again today 1771 01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:06,800 Speaker 25: with their rate rise. 1772 01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:09,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, but obviously what this is going to do is 1773 01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:11,559 Speaker 3: and we as you well know, is going to put 1774 01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:13,799 Speaker 3: a dampner on GDP and I hear that there's already 1775 01:24:13,880 --> 01:24:16,920 Speaker 3: talk about recession. Is that a realistic possibility for Australia. 1776 01:24:18,040 --> 01:24:19,880 Speaker 25: Well, I think what we can say right now is 1777 01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:22,720 Speaker 25: Australia needs to have an economic downturn. You have to 1778 01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:25,320 Speaker 25: have a slow down. There's really it would be very 1779 01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:27,680 Speaker 25: hard to get inflation down without having a slow down 1780 01:24:27,720 --> 01:24:29,160 Speaker 25: in the economy at this point. So I think that 1781 01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:32,240 Speaker 25: we can be confident of the RBA's lifted interest rates. 1782 01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:35,360 Speaker 25: That's going to slow the economy down. That's the mechanism 1783 01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:36,800 Speaker 25: for getting inflation to come down. 1784 01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:38,679 Speaker 7: The question is how. 1785 01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:40,799 Speaker 25: Big a slow down is it, how big a downturn 1786 01:24:40,920 --> 01:24:42,600 Speaker 25: is it. Will it actually turn out to be a 1787 01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:45,320 Speaker 25: recession or not? And I think that's a much more 1788 01:24:45,360 --> 01:24:48,160 Speaker 25: difficult question to answer. I think the risk of it 1789 01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:51,519 Speaker 25: has risen, but it's more difficult to answer because not 1790 01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:54,120 Speaker 25: only does it depend obviously on the domestic story, but 1791 01:24:54,200 --> 01:24:56,160 Speaker 25: it depends on the global story, and what's going on 1792 01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:59,720 Speaker 25: right now, I'm sure is highly uncertain. Sharp rise and 1793 01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:03,160 Speaker 25: prices is a key feature of that, and the longer 1794 01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:05,519 Speaker 25: it goes on, the more it creates a risk that 1795 01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:07,760 Speaker 25: that could deliver a bigger downturn from the rest of 1796 01:25:07,800 --> 01:25:09,960 Speaker 25: the world that then feeds through to Australia and in 1797 01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:12,080 Speaker 25: fact feeds through to New Zealand as well. I mean, 1798 01:25:12,120 --> 01:25:15,360 Speaker 25: that's why it's tricky to really have a definitive answer. 1799 01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:17,200 Speaker 25: Our central case is no for the moment, but I 1800 01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:19,320 Speaker 25: think the risks are tilted to the downside. 1801 01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:23,600 Speaker 3: Is that no recession for Australia or no recession for 1802 01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:25,000 Speaker 3: Australia and New Zealand. 1803 01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:28,840 Speaker 25: We're not forecasting at the moment a recession in either 1804 01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:32,120 Speaker 25: of those countries. But I think what we need to 1805 01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:34,480 Speaker 25: be aware of is that there's a lot of uncertainty 1806 01:25:34,560 --> 01:25:38,760 Speaker 25: in the overall global story right now and that could 1807 01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:42,640 Speaker 25: possibly deliver weaker conditions. And in Australia's case, if we 1808 01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:44,880 Speaker 25: go back to Australia, what we can say with some 1809 01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:49,960 Speaker 25: confidence is Australia has to have a downturn because otherwise 1810 01:25:50,120 --> 01:25:52,400 Speaker 25: it's hard to see how inflation is going to come down. 1811 01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:55,200 Speaker 25: And the RBA is in the process of making that 1812 01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:58,439 Speaker 25: happen by lifting interest rates twice already to sleep to 1813 01:25:58,479 --> 01:26:01,080 Speaker 25: slow the economy down to deliver it. So once you're 1814 01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:03,120 Speaker 25: in a downturn, if it gets big enough. 1815 01:26:03,280 --> 01:26:05,559 Speaker 7: That of course is what you start to call a recession. 1816 01:26:05,600 --> 01:26:07,080 Speaker 25: I mean, if it gets deep enough you have an 1817 01:26:07,120 --> 01:26:09,160 Speaker 25: actual contraction and you have a sharp enough rise in 1818 01:26:09,160 --> 01:26:11,960 Speaker 25: the unployment rate. That's not our central case at the moment, 1819 01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:14,479 Speaker 25: but I think the chance of it is rising. I 1820 01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:16,560 Speaker 25: think in a New Zealand's case, actually you're in a 1821 01:26:16,600 --> 01:26:19,240 Speaker 25: little bit better shape for dealing with the shop that's 1822 01:26:19,280 --> 01:26:20,280 Speaker 25: currently arriving. 1823 01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:23,559 Speaker 7: And that's partly because you've brought inflation already back down 1824 01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:25,240 Speaker 7: into the Reserve Banks target band. 1825 01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:28,679 Speaker 25: Australia has got starts off with inflation that's too high, 1826 01:26:28,880 --> 01:26:31,120 Speaker 25: and so it's dealing with the domestic problem as well 1827 01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:34,680 Speaker 25: as what's happening globally. There is spare capacity in the 1828 01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:38,200 Speaker 25: New Zealand economy, so there's still scope to go either 1829 01:26:38,240 --> 01:26:39,120 Speaker 25: way with interest rates. 1830 01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:40,920 Speaker 7: It's harder, I think, in Australia to think that the 1831 01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:41,720 Speaker 7: RBA can do that. 1832 01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:44,720 Speaker 25: They've got an economy that's already at its limits, beyond 1833 01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:47,040 Speaker 25: its limits in terms of where it's how it's growing. 1834 01:26:47,479 --> 01:26:50,320 Speaker 3: This is a political question for you, because we have 1835 01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:52,880 Speaker 3: an election coming up in November, and given what you're 1836 01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:55,759 Speaker 3: seeing happen over in Iran and the lag effect, should 1837 01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:57,920 Speaker 3: we expect that this is all washed out and through 1838 01:26:58,000 --> 01:26:59,920 Speaker 3: the system at eight months or are we still dealing 1839 01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:02,080 Speaker 3: in November with the stuff that's going on over there 1840 01:27:02,160 --> 01:27:02,479 Speaker 3: right now? 1841 01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:06,280 Speaker 7: Oh, I think that's an extraordinarily hard question to answer. 1842 01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:07,800 Speaker 7: I wouldn't know where to start. 1843 01:27:08,280 --> 01:27:09,880 Speaker 25: We need to What we need to do is think 1844 01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:12,160 Speaker 25: about the things we know the answer to, so we 1845 01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:14,840 Speaker 25: know we don't know the answer to that, so we 1846 01:27:14,960 --> 01:27:15,960 Speaker 25: have to sort. 1847 01:27:15,800 --> 01:27:17,160 Speaker 7: Of work out what the right questions are. 1848 01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:19,640 Speaker 25: I mean, how long it goes on for is going 1849 01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:22,280 Speaker 25: to be the fundamental deciding factor as to how much 1850 01:27:22,400 --> 01:27:24,200 Speaker 25: it continues to deliver upward. 1851 01:27:23,960 --> 01:27:25,080 Speaker 7: Pressure on oil prices. 1852 01:27:25,760 --> 01:27:28,920 Speaker 25: And that's the big feature of how this has an 1853 01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:31,599 Speaker 25: impact and feeds through to the Australian and New Zealand economies. 1854 01:27:31,640 --> 01:27:35,639 Speaker 25: And I think the risk is that it got oil 1855 01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:39,800 Speaker 25: prices stay higher for longer, and so we need to 1856 01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:42,400 Speaker 25: be just aware of that. And then the question would be, well, 1857 01:27:42,439 --> 01:27:44,920 Speaker 25: how would you respond to it if you were a policymaker, 1858 01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:48,360 Speaker 25: And I would say, in Australia's case, we've already got 1859 01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:51,400 Speaker 25: an inflation problem even before this arrived, and so that's 1860 01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:53,519 Speaker 25: why the RBA is lifting interest rates at the moment. 1861 01:27:53,720 --> 01:27:56,080 Speaker 25: And that means that we have to have a downturn. 1862 01:27:56,479 --> 01:27:59,519 Speaker 25: In New Zealand's case, I think inflation is already back 1863 01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:00,800 Speaker 25: in the time target band or. 1864 01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:03,000 Speaker 7: Has been very on a core basis, it's in the 1865 01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:04,400 Speaker 7: target band, so there's a. 1866 01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:06,960 Speaker 25: Bit more room to move in terms of being able 1867 01:28:07,040 --> 01:28:10,960 Speaker 25: to support the economy if needed at some point. And 1868 01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:14,320 Speaker 25: the same with fiscal policy in terms of Australia. We 1869 01:28:14,439 --> 01:28:16,599 Speaker 25: have to when we head towards the May Budget, which 1870 01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:19,000 Speaker 25: is going to be a big focus in Australia, and 1871 01:28:19,080 --> 01:28:21,559 Speaker 25: the May Budget has to be careful not to boost 1872 01:28:21,600 --> 01:28:24,960 Speaker 25: the economy too much and drive more inflation at a 1873 01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:27,200 Speaker 25: time when we're already operating beyond capacity. 1874 01:28:28,200 --> 01:28:29,479 Speaker 7: New Zealand's got a bit more scope. 1875 01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:32,800 Speaker 25: There's a there's fare capacity in the economy, so there's 1876 01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:35,000 Speaker 25: a bit more riggle room perhaps on the fiscal side. 1877 01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:36,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, pleased to hear it, Hey, Paul, thank you was 1878 01:28:36,640 --> 01:28:39,759 Speaker 3: always appreciated. Paul Block some hspc's chief economist. It's eighteen 1879 01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:44,680 Speaker 3: away from seven, Heather do l now media I kind 1880 01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:46,840 Speaker 3: of alluded to this earlier. Media trying to figure out 1881 01:28:46,880 --> 01:28:49,720 Speaker 3: at the moment who it was who took the screenshot 1882 01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:52,719 Speaker 3: of Hopkins's ex's post and then shared it because remember 1883 01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:56,320 Speaker 3: she posted it to a private Facebook page and then 1884 01:28:56,400 --> 01:28:58,320 Speaker 3: she deleted it, right, So who was it. They're trying 1885 01:28:58,320 --> 01:28:59,639 Speaker 3: to figure out who was it that took the screen 1886 01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:01,760 Speaker 3: grab and then sent around to everybody. And she's got 1887 01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:04,640 Speaker 3: a bunch of friends on her Facebook who are to 1888 01:29:05,080 --> 01:29:07,280 Speaker 3: the right of politics, and they've been named by media, 1889 01:29:07,360 --> 01:29:10,920 Speaker 3: Mark Mitchell, Whinston, Peters's press sick, David Farrer, who does 1890 01:29:10,960 --> 01:29:13,040 Speaker 3: the National Party's polling and is regularly on the show, 1891 01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:15,439 Speaker 3: and then Annie O'Brien, who's a former National Party staffer. 1892 01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:17,680 Speaker 3: They have all denied that they were the ones who 1893 01:29:17,720 --> 01:29:19,800 Speaker 3: took the screen grab and shared it. I just want 1894 01:29:19,840 --> 01:29:21,479 Speaker 3: to come to their defense on this and say that 1895 01:29:21,600 --> 01:29:23,679 Speaker 3: I don't think that being on the right of politics 1896 01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:25,840 Speaker 3: is actually any kind of indication of whether you're the 1897 01:29:25,840 --> 01:29:28,919 Speaker 3: one who took the screen grab or not, because everybody, 1898 01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:33,000 Speaker 3: everybody is finding this salacious, right, everybody was shocked by this. 1899 01:29:33,360 --> 01:29:36,160 Speaker 3: People the first person who sent it to me is 1900 01:29:36,240 --> 01:29:38,720 Speaker 3: so left wing they probably vote for the Greens. So 1901 01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:42,200 Speaker 3: I think that even her lefty friends would surely have 1902 01:29:42,280 --> 01:29:45,719 Speaker 3: looked at this and been like, well, girl, screen grab send. 1903 01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:47,439 Speaker 3: I don't think it matters whether you're on the right, 1904 01:29:47,479 --> 01:29:50,240 Speaker 3: you could be the left, you could be the center. Whatever. Yeah, 1905 01:29:50,520 --> 01:29:52,000 Speaker 3: I think this is a bit unfair on those guys. 1906 01:29:52,120 --> 01:29:55,880 Speaker 3: So yeah, now if you listen to them, I'm going 1907 01:29:55,960 --> 01:29:57,720 Speaker 3: to do this. I'm going to beat this drum again 1908 01:29:57,760 --> 01:30:00,720 Speaker 3: because I hate this. I hate this policy. If you 1909 01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:03,880 Speaker 3: listen to the show regularly, you'll know I am constantly 1910 01:30:04,080 --> 01:30:08,000 Speaker 3: raging against the fees free policy. I hate that we 1911 01:30:08,160 --> 01:30:11,040 Speaker 3: just randomly one day decided this was just inder, by 1912 01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:13,840 Speaker 3: the way, just randomly one day decided we're going to 1913 01:30:13,880 --> 01:30:17,040 Speaker 3: pay for one year free for all university students. First, 1914 01:30:17,080 --> 01:30:18,800 Speaker 3: it was the first year. Now it's the third year. 1915 01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:21,080 Speaker 3: I hate it because it was a bad idea. Kids 1916 01:30:21,120 --> 01:30:23,360 Speaker 3: were going to university regardless. It was money we didn't 1917 01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:26,000 Speaker 3: have to give them. But it doesn't actually work. It 1918 01:30:26,080 --> 01:30:28,720 Speaker 3: hasn't lifted enrollments. It was supposed to lift enrollments from 1919 01:30:28,720 --> 01:30:31,000 Speaker 3: poorer areas. It hasn't done that at all. It's a 1920 01:30:31,080 --> 01:30:34,280 Speaker 3: completely pointless waste money. And if you withdrew the funding today, 1921 01:30:34,479 --> 01:30:36,479 Speaker 3: the kids would still go to university and you wouldn't 1922 01:30:36,479 --> 01:30:37,960 Speaker 3: be taking on debt in this country at the rate 1923 01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:39,560 Speaker 3: that you are. Got an update for you on it 1924 01:30:39,960 --> 01:30:42,080 Speaker 3: So the Taxpayers Union has done some digging on this 1925 01:30:42,240 --> 01:30:46,000 Speaker 3: and they've found that we have spent because of this policy, 1926 01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:49,880 Speaker 3: one point one million dollars on a skydiving course for 1927 01:30:49,960 --> 01:30:52,559 Speaker 3: the kids. So it's a diploma in commercial sky diving 1928 01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:56,280 Speaker 3: at the New Zealand sky Diving School in Padokai. And 1929 01:30:56,680 --> 01:30:59,160 Speaker 3: as a result of our free money that we're giving 1930 01:30:59,160 --> 01:31:01,960 Speaker 3: the kids, the kids now just paying seven dollars and 1931 01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:06,519 Speaker 3: fifty one cents for every jump that they do. Money 1932 01:31:06,560 --> 01:31:08,280 Speaker 3: well spent worth taking on some debt for that, so 1933 01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:10,160 Speaker 3: the kids can have a diploma in skydiving. 1934 01:31:10,439 --> 01:31:11,320 Speaker 15: No, you know it. 1935 01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:13,679 Speaker 3: We're off to the UK next sixteen away from seven. 1936 01:31:14,800 --> 01:31:17,479 Speaker 4: Ever, it's to do with money.

He's asking Keir Starmer to get moving 1954 01:32:06,760 --> 01:32:09,960 Speaker 19: with military help, naval support in terms of getting the 1955 01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:13,280 Speaker 19: straits of horror MUDs open. And meanwhile, everyone here I 1956 01:32:13,320 --> 01:32:15,360 Speaker 19: think is as you guys, just watching the price of 1957 01:32:15,439 --> 01:32:18,920 Speaker 19: petrol and diesel and fuel tick up. It's only going 1958 01:32:18,960 --> 01:32:21,320 Speaker 19: to go one way. I made a TV show yesterday, 1959 01:32:21,400 --> 01:32:25,120 Speaker 19: my show Roundtable. I had three oil and energy experts on. 1960 01:32:25,520 --> 01:32:28,200 Speaker 19: They think this year is cooked already. They say that 1961 01:32:28,280 --> 01:32:30,840 Speaker 19: even if the war ended ten minutes ago, it would 1962 01:32:30,880 --> 01:32:33,679 Speaker 19: take months and months for everything to filter through back 1963 01:32:33,720 --> 01:32:36,320 Speaker 19: into the system. And they're all predicting that we're in 1964 01:32:36,479 --> 01:32:39,920 Speaker 19: for an extremely difficult year on the financial front. So 1965 01:32:40,760 --> 01:32:44,400 Speaker 19: Starmer's not budging. I mean, there was various different articles 1966 01:32:44,400 --> 01:32:46,400 Speaker 19: at the weekend about how long he takes to make 1967 01:32:46,600 --> 01:32:49,800 Speaker 19: a decision. He's not going to change. I mean, a 1968 01:32:49,840 --> 01:32:51,880 Speaker 19: man of his age is not going to change, and 1969 01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:54,160 Speaker 19: Trump is ripping into him and a lot of people 1970 01:32:54,200 --> 01:32:57,120 Speaker 19: here just looking at the so called special relationship, it 1971 01:32:57,160 --> 01:32:58,439 Speaker 19: appears to be in flames. 1972 01:32:58,600 --> 01:33:00,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, it very much does, doesn't it. I think you're 1973 01:33:00,400 --> 01:33:02,719 Speaker 3: right about the thing being cooked. What is the prediction 1974 01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:04,120 Speaker 3: for where your inflation's going? 1975 01:33:05,840 --> 01:33:08,519 Speaker 19: Well, the plan is and always has been, to keep 1976 01:33:08,520 --> 01:33:11,200 Speaker 19: it at two percent, but we went to three percent 1977 01:33:11,360 --> 01:33:13,840 Speaker 19: last month and I think we'll probably hit five soon. 1978 01:33:14,320 --> 01:33:17,920 Speaker 19: So look, everything's going to get more expensive because not 1979 01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:22,160 Speaker 19: just energy prices, but I think food as well. Even 1980 01:33:22,200 --> 01:33:24,160 Speaker 19: the cost of fertilizer is going to go up, and 1981 01:33:24,240 --> 01:33:26,120 Speaker 19: of course farmers need that to grow the food in 1982 01:33:26,160 --> 01:33:28,479 Speaker 19: the first place. So it's one big vicious cycle. 1983 01:33:28,640 --> 01:33:31,040 Speaker 3: Yeah too, right now, I see this meningitis is quite 1984 01:33:31,080 --> 01:33:32,120 Speaker 3: bad with you guys, isn't it. 1985 01:33:33,080 --> 01:33:36,280 Speaker 19: Yeah, this is really worrying. So it's linked to a 1986 01:33:36,400 --> 01:33:39,479 Speaker 19: nightclub in Canterbury, just east of London, a lot of 1987 01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:42,760 Speaker 19: university students at the University of Kent. Two people, two 1988 01:33:42,840 --> 01:33:46,080 Speaker 19: young people are dead. One is a student at the 1989 01:33:46,160 --> 01:33:50,320 Speaker 19: University of Kent, eleven others in hospital, and a small 1990 01:33:50,400 --> 01:33:54,840 Speaker 19: town basically with a very nasty unprecedented outbreak of meningitis. 1991 01:33:54,960 --> 01:33:58,240 Speaker 19: So the medical agencies have moved in. Government is there 1992 01:33:58,280 --> 01:34:02,280 Speaker 19: as well, and they're giving out cautionary antibiotics at the university. 1993 01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:05,439 Speaker 19: But a lot of young students just packing their bags 1994 01:34:05,479 --> 01:34:06,760 Speaker 19: early for Eastern going home. 1995 01:34:07,479 --> 01:34:09,719 Speaker 3: Now, what's going on with Ireland's leader. 1996 01:34:10,960 --> 01:34:13,559 Speaker 19: Well, it is Saint Patrick's Day today and Mee Hall 1997 01:34:13,680 --> 01:34:16,960 Speaker 19: Martin is our tea shock or Prime Minister and he's 1998 01:34:17,000 --> 01:34:20,559 Speaker 19: in America. So this week every year we dispatch all 1999 01:34:20,680 --> 01:34:23,519 Speaker 19: our cabinet and ministers and our leader. The leader goes 2000 01:34:23,560 --> 01:34:26,559 Speaker 19: to America. Everyone else goes to places where we kind 2001 01:34:26,600 --> 01:34:28,519 Speaker 19: of want to do business or we want tourists from. 2002 01:34:28,640 --> 01:34:31,840 Speaker 19: That's the easiest way of saying it. And Mee Hall Martin, 2003 01:34:32,040 --> 01:34:34,920 Speaker 19: our tea shocker Prime Minister, will be in the Oval 2004 01:34:34,960 --> 01:34:38,920 Speaker 19: Office later on today for what is traditionally a handing 2005 01:34:39,000 --> 01:34:41,719 Speaker 19: over of a bowl of shamrock to the American President. 2006 01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:45,240 Speaker 19: Now this goes back centuries. There have been American presidents 2007 01:34:45,240 --> 01:34:48,000 Speaker 19: who we have been immensely proud to be associated with, 2008 01:34:48,240 --> 01:34:50,840 Speaker 19: and they're Irish roots, like JFK. 2009 01:34:51,600 --> 01:34:52,040 Speaker 4: Reagan. 2010 01:34:52,200 --> 01:34:54,679 Speaker 19: We found Irish roots for all of them. Joe Biden, 2011 01:34:55,760 --> 01:34:58,160 Speaker 19: Donald Trump has a golf course in the West of 2012 01:34:58,200 --> 01:35:01,879 Speaker 19: Ireland and nobody. There's no love for Trump in Ireland basically. 2013 01:35:02,360 --> 01:35:05,880 Speaker 19: And the dilemma now is for our tea shock to 2014 01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:07,920 Speaker 19: be seen in the Oval Office at a time when 2015 01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:12,320 Speaker 19: America is dropping bombs on children's schools in Iran? Do 2016 01:35:12,479 --> 01:35:15,200 Speaker 19: we really want that photo opportunity? And a lot of 2017 01:35:15,240 --> 01:35:17,560 Speaker 19: people in Ireland are saying, make a point and don't go. 2018 01:35:18,040 --> 01:35:22,840 Speaker 19: But unfortunately our economy cannot exist without the American tech 2019 01:35:22,920 --> 01:35:26,599 Speaker 19: companies and pharmer companies and the corporate billions day pay us. 2020 01:35:26,880 --> 01:35:29,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's probably an ill considered idea. Hey 2021 01:35:29,720 --> 01:35:31,640 Speaker 3: do you just go to you justspect from Sweden and 2022 01:35:31,680 --> 01:35:32,439 Speaker 3: the EBBA Museum. 2023 01:35:33,720 --> 01:35:36,000 Speaker 19: Oh my god, put this on your list of things 2024 01:35:36,080 --> 01:35:38,519 Speaker 19: to do when you next come to Europe. The Abba 2025 01:35:38,640 --> 01:35:42,680 Speaker 19: Museum in Stockholm. I swear I was crying tears of 2026 01:35:42,760 --> 01:35:44,920 Speaker 19: happiness on the way out. It was the most moving 2027 01:35:45,040 --> 01:35:50,720 Speaker 19: experience for beautiful people, their lives told in a museum, interactive, 2028 01:35:51,160 --> 01:35:54,000 Speaker 19: the costumes, the music, you can get up on stage 2029 01:35:54,040 --> 01:35:56,840 Speaker 19: and dance with their holograms. And as I said to 2030 01:35:56,880 --> 01:36:00,160 Speaker 19: my wife, I said, it was my wife's birthday. My 2031 01:36:00,200 --> 01:36:02,479 Speaker 19: wife Josellah, I said to her look. I said, it's 2032 01:36:02,520 --> 01:36:04,720 Speaker 19: amazing that I'm taking you to meet the woman I 2033 01:36:04,840 --> 01:36:10,160 Speaker 19: actually wanted to marry when I was ten. It was glorious. 2034 01:36:10,439 --> 01:36:12,880 Speaker 3: You just know the way to a woman's heart. 2035 01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:13,200 Speaker 7: You do. 2036 01:36:13,360 --> 01:36:16,160 Speaker 3: And to Brady, Hey, look after yourself mate, and thanks 2037 01:36:16,200 --> 01:36:18,679 Speaker 3: for the tip.

I thought that there was something honestly 2048 01:36:42,800 --> 01:36:44,160 Speaker 3: thought there was something wrong with me.

Something's weird, 2053 01:36:56,320 --> 01:36:59,320 Speaker 3: something weird. It's going on. Must be pregnant again, someone weird. No, 2054 01:36:59,720 --> 01:37:01,559 Speaker 3: It's turns out it is as beautiful a book as 2055 01:37:01,600 --> 01:37:03,519 Speaker 3: I thought. If a man is crying as well, don't worry, 2056 01:37:03,640 --> 01:37:06,240 Speaker 3: not pregnant, not that time in the month, patches are working, 2057 01:37:06,240 --> 01:37:08,000 Speaker 3: don't worry about it, don't worry about any of that stuff. 2058 01:37:08,040 --> 01:37:11,040 Speaker 3: Everything is fine. You can ask ants and and Kevin 2059 01:37:11,080 --> 01:37:14,280 Speaker 3: the producer later they'll tell you interesting tip if you 2060 01:37:14,479 --> 01:37:17,639 Speaker 3: This is just because after the oscars, basically you look 2061 01:37:17,640 --> 01:37:18,960 Speaker 3: at what they're all doing and then you go there 2062 01:37:18,960 --> 01:37:21,160 Speaker 3: you basically style yourself on that for the next bit. 2063 01:37:21,439 --> 01:37:23,880 Speaker 3: And apparently what we're getting from the oscars is that 2064 01:37:24,040 --> 01:37:26,519 Speaker 3: older women are now allowed to grow their hair longer, 2065 01:37:26,520 --> 01:37:28,439 Speaker 3: because you know, that's been the rule, like you had 2066 01:37:28,479 --> 01:37:30,320 Speaker 3: a certain age and then you've got to go golden 2067 01:37:30,360 --> 01:37:32,719 Speaker 3: girls on us, like get a perm crop it short. 2068 01:37:33,040 --> 01:37:36,320 Speaker 3: But Demi Moore is sixty three, I know Nicole Kidman's 2069 01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:38,880 Speaker 3: fifty eight, Gwyneth is fifty three, and they all wore 2070 01:37:38,920 --> 01:37:42,000 Speaker 3: their hair long, and apparently it's happening here locally women 2071 01:37:42,040 --> 01:37:45,080 Speaker 3: are doing the same thing. I think it's okay because 2072 01:37:45,160 --> 01:37:48,280 Speaker 3: because we're stretching youth. So if you're still if you're 2073 01:37:48,280 --> 01:37:50,280 Speaker 3: one of those women who's yet dyeing your hair and 2074 01:37:50,320 --> 01:37:52,840 Speaker 3: you're getting a bit of maintenance bowtox, maybe some filler, 2075 01:37:52,960 --> 01:37:56,240 Speaker 3: maybe whatever, and you're still you're You're like you're you're 2076 01:37:56,320 --> 01:37:58,599 Speaker 3: fooling people into thinking you're a decade or fifteen years 2077 01:37:58,600 --> 01:38:01,040 Speaker 3: younger than you are. You do it, it's sister, grow 2078 01:38:01,120 --> 01:38:04,720 Speaker 3: that hair long. However, if you're aging gracefully and you're 2079 01:38:04,720 --> 01:38:07,120 Speaker 3: already gray, you've got to do the Poorler Bennet. You 2080 01:38:07,160 --> 01:38:08,760 Speaker 3: gotta go short. Maybe not that short, but you've got 2081 01:38:08,840 --> 01:38:10,519 Speaker 3: to go shorter. I think that's the rule. It's the 2082 01:38:10,560 --> 01:38:11,200 Speaker 3: color of the hair. 2083 01:38:11,560 --> 01:38:14,519 Speaker 24: And I'm definitely not weighing on that one out the 2084 01:38:14,560 --> 01:38:15,439 Speaker 24: weighing in on why. 2085 01:38:15,360 --> 01:38:17,120 Speaker 3: I was crying?

It's just one of 2092 01:38:26,479 --> 01:38:29,040 Speaker 24: those stories that just makes everything it's just impossible to 2093 01:38:29,080 --> 01:38:29,760 Speaker 24: get through without the. 2094 01:38:29,800 --> 01:38:33,080 Speaker 3: Water work, and you have this is validating me. 2095 01:38:33,240 --> 01:38:36,400 Speaker 24: Oh God, please don't start trying A Crouching Tiger, Hid 2096 01:38:36,479 --> 01:38:38,240 Speaker 24: and Dragon. For the record, that's the movie that it 2097 01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:39,280 Speaker 24: generally makes me cry. 2098 01:38:40,160 --> 01:38:40,280 Speaker 5: Well. 2099 01:38:40,439 --> 01:38:42,880 Speaker 24: No, that ending, man, that ending is powerful.
