1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: Things we can do to help the economy through jobs. Firstly, 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: compulsory arbitration. I am sick and tired of the teachers 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: and the nurses and the doctor's striking. The current strike 4 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,559 Speaker 1: this week by the doctors, they claim has been a 5 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: result of more than a year of negotiation. I mean, 6 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,600 Speaker 1: surely at some point in Health New Zealand to finally 7 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: pull the trigger. Thank god, it becomes apparent that the 8 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 1: two sides aren't going to cut a deal. Some heads 9 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: need to be banged together. Health New Zealand have asked 10 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,479 Speaker 1: for arbitration. So a simple law that it's timeline it 11 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: and say the hassle I mean could be timeline, could 12 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: be the number of meetings, or offers or counteroffers, whatever, 13 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Just give it you a bear shot. 14 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: If it doesn't work, letter media to do the business. 15 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 1: Make it binding. Then the migration pathways announced yesterday that 16 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: we've just talked about. It seems to have taken an 17 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: age to realize that the simple truth, rightly or wrongly, 18 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,200 Speaker 1: for this country is we need a shed load of people. 19 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: Yesterday's settings were hardly rocket scientists, as I mentioned to 20 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 1: Erica a moment ago, But that's the sad truth about 21 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: our economy. I'm afraid a lot of issues around jobs 22 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: these days, the bread and butter stuff of daily life, 23 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: the chocolate fish cafe. You up with that one. In 24 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: Wellington they've written to the minister. They need pathway, they 25 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: argue for people to work in hospital. Should they need 26 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 1: a pathway now? Of course not. Should jobless be king 27 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: to fill the gaps? Of course they should, But that's 28 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: our lot, a bunch of lazy people more interested in 29 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: scribing than working. So migration is the answer. They took 30 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: an age on foreign houses as well, but we got there. 31 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: I'm big on immigration. If you don't know that already. 32 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: People bring skills, that bring culture. They generally work hard, 33 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: they've got good work ethic, they earn money, they pay taxes. 34 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: There is growth in numbers. The other truth for now, 35 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: as we can't ignore there too many really good New 36 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: Zealanders have bailed. We need a skill and a talent reset. 37 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: The world is a competition. Everywhere's a landing spot. The 38 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: previous government, of course, made us a place to leave. 39 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: Couldn't wait to get out of here. The current lot 40 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: may change that, pray they do, but for now, talent 41 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: is still an issue. Good people are still hard to find. 42 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: The here and now answer is immigration. Find those that 43 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: like the look of us, make them a deal. Residency 44 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: is a deal. Yes, some may go to Australia, so 45 00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: Peters is technically probably correct. But if we're good, some 46 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: may not, so we win. See all leavers, all ideas. 47 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: More productivity, more pace, less mucking around, fewer strikes, more attitude, 48 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: more determination, more deals, more pathways. It's not hard, you 49 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: just gotta want to do it.
