So if you watch at 32 00:01:30,013 --> 00:01:32,853 Speaker 2: the moment, you'll see all sorts of betting agencies and 33 00:01:32,933 --> 00:01:36,293 Speaker 2: tab sports beets and things.

I better get it good a Simon. 44 00:02:05,173 --> 00:02:09,093 Speaker 8: Hi, guys, just listening to yourselves on an agreement with 45 00:02:09,213 --> 00:02:13,013 Speaker 8: both of you to some degree, I think a reasonable 46 00:02:13,773 --> 00:02:17,373 Speaker 8: viewpoint from this is my opinion, by the way, is 47 00:02:18,173 --> 00:02:21,053 Speaker 8: if you saturate in front of an addict or a 48 00:02:21,093 --> 00:02:26,373 Speaker 8: person who's towards that way, who finds gambling easy and 49 00:02:26,413 --> 00:02:29,493 Speaker 8: will make bad decisions. Saturated in front of their face, 50 00:02:29,693 --> 00:02:34,373 Speaker 8: it will only increase their ability to make the bad decision. 51 00:02:34,973 --> 00:02:37,493 Speaker 8: But I'm also in agreement with James. We can't make 52 00:02:37,533 --> 00:02:39,853 Speaker 8: it a complete nanny state, Nicky. 53 00:02:40,133 --> 00:02:46,093 Speaker 4: Whilst I agree people have to take on responsibility for themselves. Fortunately, 54 00:02:46,253 --> 00:02:49,973 Speaker 4: there's a lot of vulnerable people in our society and 55 00:02:50,173 --> 00:02:53,213 Speaker 4: they might not have had a stay blood bringing, and 56 00:02:53,253 --> 00:02:56,493 Speaker 4: they might have had bad influences, and they're a product 57 00:02:56,573 --> 00:03:00,213 Speaker 4: of their environment, and they aren't necessarily going to make 58 00:03:00,253 --> 00:03:02,613 Speaker 4: the best decision for themselves. 59 00:03:02,733 --> 00:03:05,813 Speaker 9: I have worked in the addiction field, both gambling and 60 00:03:06,533 --> 00:03:08,933 Speaker 9: and all that stuff. I've also worked in care and 61 00:03:08,933 --> 00:03:11,293 Speaker 9: protection for over ten years, and I've seeing plenty of 62 00:03:11,333 --> 00:03:15,213 Speaker 9: vulnerable families. They're not addicts, but they're still very vulnerable. 63 00:03:15,693 --> 00:03:18,733 Speaker 9: And hope those hope that those lotto ads, I just 64 00:03:18,813 --> 00:03:22,173 Speaker 9: think they're terrible actually, because they do this thing about 65 00:03:22,253 --> 00:03:24,533 Speaker 9: this is your hope, This is hope for you. Can 66 00:03:24,573 --> 00:03:26,933 Speaker 9: people not see what's going on here. This is people 67 00:03:26,933 --> 00:03:29,493 Speaker 9: who can't afford to do this and being dragged into it. 68 00:03:29,493 --> 00:03:32,053 Speaker 2: And I think you've made an excellent point right off 69 00:03:32,053 --> 00:03:34,893 Speaker 2: the bat there, Peter, don't you agree, James, where Peter said, 70 00:03:35,013 --> 00:03:38,373 Speaker 2: it's not necessarily addicts, it's vulnerable people and that's a 71 00:03:38,493 --> 00:03:40,253 Speaker 2: huge catchment. So excellent, good on you. 72 00:03:40,373 --> 00:03:44,813 Speaker 9: Yeah. And finally, of all places, a country that would 73 00:03:45,093 --> 00:03:47,453 Speaker 9: bet on two fliers going up a windows, a famous 74 00:03:47,773 --> 00:03:51,533 Speaker 9: description of Australia, of all places to even be talking 75 00:03:51,573 --> 00:03:53,293 Speaker 9: about it, doesn't that tell us anything? 76 00:03:53,853 --> 00:03:58,453 Speaker 2: The highlight reel we're talking about some of the sanctions 77 00:03:58,493 --> 00:04:01,093 Speaker 2: that will be introduced to beneficiaries that don't meet their commitments, 78 00:04:01,573 --> 00:04:04,053 Speaker 2: most of which seem actually pretty reasonable. And I think 79 00:04:04,093 --> 00:04:08,133 Speaker 2: we're all most people come ffittable with, you know, the 80 00:04:08,173 --> 00:04:12,013 Speaker 2: notion of consequences. You know, that's life, right, and so 81 00:04:12,133 --> 00:04:15,173 Speaker 2: these seem pretty fair for the most part. There's some 82 00:04:15,213 --> 00:04:18,893 Speaker 2: concern around the new money management sanction that we'll see 83 00:04:18,893 --> 00:04:21,173 Speaker 2: half of a person's benefit go onto a payment card 84 00:04:21,213 --> 00:04:23,493 Speaker 2: that can be only used for a very limited range 85 00:04:23,493 --> 00:04:26,933 Speaker 2: of essential products and services. Opposition leader Chris Hipkins he 86 00:04:27,013 --> 00:04:31,173 Speaker 2: says he thinks that that's kind of old fashioned, it's 87 00:04:31,413 --> 00:04:35,573 Speaker 2: mean spirited, and it actually will make people become more 88 00:04:35,573 --> 00:04:39,093 Speaker 2: reliant on the government by taking away their independence and 89 00:04:39,133 --> 00:04:42,693 Speaker 2: their autonomy. And so that's his views. We've asked you 90 00:04:42,693 --> 00:04:44,653 Speaker 2: the question, what do you think about that? One hundred 91 00:04:44,653 --> 00:04:45,853 Speaker 2: and eighty ten eighty. 92 00:04:45,973 --> 00:04:47,333 Speaker 10: A kate Hi Hi. 93 00:04:48,013 --> 00:04:50,573 Speaker 6: I'm glad you just mentioned Chris Hipkins, because that's why 94 00:04:50,613 --> 00:04:54,213 Speaker 6: I was calling. I think he was a bit more 95 00:04:54,253 --> 00:04:57,413 Speaker 6: of a disingenuous when he talked about what the National 96 00:04:57,453 --> 00:05:01,773 Speaker 6: Party are bringing in, because he brought in a cash 97 00:05:01,813 --> 00:05:05,773 Speaker 6: flow card if you like. Up in Kaitaia, where people 98 00:05:05,813 --> 00:05:08,333 Speaker 6: on benefit, we're only allowed to spend it in certain 99 00:05:10,173 --> 00:05:13,333 Speaker 6: that's if you like, So it's not something new. He 100 00:05:13,533 --> 00:05:18,133 Speaker 6: already introduced something similar. They're given a cash card of 101 00:05:18,213 --> 00:05:20,573 Speaker 6: some description and they're only allowed to spend it in 102 00:05:20,613 --> 00:05:23,573 Speaker 6: the supermarket and not on cigarettes and things like that. 103 00:05:24,733 --> 00:05:26,733 Speaker 5: Look, I've been on the dole tours in my life, 104 00:05:26,813 --> 00:05:30,333 Speaker 5: once for three months during the DFC and then once 105 00:05:30,373 --> 00:05:34,013 Speaker 5: for about seven weeks during twenty twenty during COVID and 106 00:05:34,173 --> 00:05:37,733 Speaker 5: look old and wishing on anyone mate. It sucks that, 107 00:05:37,813 --> 00:05:40,093 Speaker 5: you know it's degrading, but at the end of the day, 108 00:05:40,893 --> 00:05:43,173 Speaker 5: you've got to set our obligations that you sign for 109 00:05:43,533 --> 00:05:45,893 Speaker 5: when you first get on the benefit. They're explained to 110 00:05:45,933 --> 00:05:49,053 Speaker 5: you and you've got to meet those obligations. You're getting 111 00:05:49,053 --> 00:05:52,213 Speaker 5: someone else's tech hard earned money that they pay the 112 00:05:52,373 --> 00:05:56,693 Speaker 5: tax to fund your doll Like you, if you can't 113 00:05:56,933 --> 00:05:59,333 Speaker 5: turn up to an appointment, how can you be expected 114 00:05:59,373 --> 00:06:03,293 Speaker 5: to shop for work? You know, Like it's not hard. 115 00:06:04,213 --> 00:06:06,373 Speaker 5: There's one hundred and sixty something hells and a week 116 00:06:06,893 --> 00:06:09,653 Speaker 5: and you're only having to turn out once every few weeks. 117 00:06:09,773 --> 00:06:12,973 Speaker 5: Like it's not for one hour, It's not difficult. 118 00:06:13,093 --> 00:06:15,173 Speaker 2: One of the criticisms from folks that I know that 119 00:06:15,213 --> 00:06:17,933 Speaker 2: have been on job seekers said that the MSD basically 120 00:06:17,973 --> 00:06:21,933 Speaker 2: sent them to totally inappropriate places just to take a box, 121 00:06:22,013 --> 00:06:23,653 Speaker 2: you know, like one went to a might I to 122 00:06:23,693 --> 00:06:25,813 Speaker 2: do something, and even the mad I said to the person, 123 00:06:26,133 --> 00:06:27,493 Speaker 2: we'll take the box and you get out of here 124 00:06:27,493 --> 00:06:29,453 Speaker 2: because you're a waste of space and you're not interested. 125 00:06:29,813 --> 00:06:31,293 Speaker 2: And there was a bit of that. It was kind 126 00:06:31,293 --> 00:06:34,853 Speaker 2: of like digging potholes. Do you reckon? There was anything 127 00:06:34,893 --> 00:06:36,413 Speaker 2: like that for you. What did you feel You've got 128 00:06:36,413 --> 00:06:38,813 Speaker 2: some benefit from the places you were told to go 129 00:06:38,893 --> 00:06:39,733 Speaker 2: on job Seeker? 130 00:06:40,013 --> 00:06:42,613 Speaker 5: There was some benefit and it kept your work ready, 131 00:06:42,653 --> 00:06:44,613 Speaker 5: you know, give you something to do so you're not 132 00:06:44,653 --> 00:06:48,133 Speaker 5: sitting around at home doing nothing. So it definitely helped. 133 00:06:48,213 --> 00:06:50,733 Speaker 5: But probably someone of that might have been a bit 134 00:06:50,733 --> 00:06:53,293 Speaker 5: of an appropriate you know, I'm sort of more talored 135 00:06:53,333 --> 00:06:55,893 Speaker 5: to someone that's never worked in their life. Yeah, so 136 00:06:55,973 --> 00:06:59,093 Speaker 5: that it was just, you know, one criterion meets everyone 137 00:06:59,133 --> 00:07:02,693 Speaker 5: instead of doing it based on someone's experience. But you 138 00:07:02,733 --> 00:07:05,533 Speaker 5: know you've got that many people. What are you meant 139 00:07:05,573 --> 00:07:05,813 Speaker 5: to do? 140 00:07:06,493 --> 00:07:08,853 Speaker 2: Been why you were mentioned in your interaction there you 141 00:07:08,893 --> 00:07:10,893 Speaker 2: said you've been on it and it sucked. Why did 142 00:07:10,933 --> 00:07:11,333 Speaker 2: it suck? 143 00:07:11,493 --> 00:07:13,533 Speaker 5: Well, no one wants to walk into a door office 144 00:07:13,533 --> 00:07:16,013 Speaker 5: and ask for health and the boss the job, you know, 145 00:07:16,613 --> 00:07:18,653 Speaker 5: as us really sucks. No one wants to go through 146 00:07:18,693 --> 00:07:22,133 Speaker 5: paperwork and then find out you're only going to get 147 00:07:22,253 --> 00:07:24,533 Speaker 5: forty or fifty percent of what you know when you're 148 00:07:24,613 --> 00:07:26,693 Speaker 5: working and you've got a budget, you know, no one 149 00:07:26,733 --> 00:07:28,453 Speaker 5: wants to go through all that you know and heavy 150 00:07:28,453 --> 00:07:32,533 Speaker 5: ground use like you know, watching them and everyone driving 151 00:07:32,613 --> 00:07:34,893 Speaker 5: us and you're walking into a door office could be 152 00:07:34,933 --> 00:07:37,413 Speaker 5: quite downgrading. But at the end of the day, you've 153 00:07:37,413 --> 00:07:39,213 Speaker 5: got to do what you need to do to survive. 154 00:07:39,893 --> 00:07:40,893 Speaker 2: Have you got a job now? 155 00:07:41,573 --> 00:07:43,893 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, you know.

And you get 174 00:08:37,173 --> 00:08:40,773 Speaker 11: left back with what eighty ninety bucks, you know, so 175 00:08:41,013 --> 00:08:42,173 Speaker 11: you know that's pretty good man. 176 00:08:42,573 --> 00:08:43,573 Speaker 1: The highlight reel. 177 00:08:43,693 --> 00:08:46,773 Speaker 2: I want to ask an ethical question. I went to 178 00:08:47,013 --> 00:08:50,013 Speaker 2: a cafeteria with my daughter, been for a walk, went 179 00:08:50,093 --> 00:08:52,213 Speaker 2: and got a coffee and we were going to sit down. 180 00:08:52,493 --> 00:08:54,573 Speaker 2: Didn't want to get a takeaway coffee, wanted to sit 181 00:08:54,653 --> 00:08:58,253 Speaker 2: down right, plenty of room, guys. Lovely there at the 182 00:08:58,253 --> 00:09:02,253 Speaker 2: Beach Cafe. Real love team actually, And I said, as 183 00:09:02,333 --> 00:09:04,133 Speaker 2: Zoe caf Gravis. He says, yeah, yeah, go for it. 184 00:09:04,173 --> 00:09:06,373 Speaker 2: And I said, now, just want two long blacks please? 185 00:09:06,853 --> 00:09:08,973 Speaker 2: Could we get them in take away cups? 186 00:09:09,813 --> 00:09:12,253 Speaker 3: And you just asked them if you could take a. 187 00:09:12,213 --> 00:09:16,253 Speaker 2: Seat, take a seat, and he said he was great, 188 00:09:16,253 --> 00:09:18,573 Speaker 2: He said, yeah, that's fine. Did the same thing about 189 00:09:18,613 --> 00:09:21,613 Speaker 2: four days later at another cafeteria and they looked at 190 00:09:21,653 --> 00:09:23,773 Speaker 2: me like I just laid a cable on the ground 191 00:09:25,253 --> 00:09:27,853 Speaker 2: and when I asked for a takeaway cup, that wanted 192 00:09:27,893 --> 00:09:30,653 Speaker 2: to sit down at their premises. So the next question 193 00:09:30,733 --> 00:09:32,333 Speaker 2: is why do you want to take away cup, simon 194 00:09:32,333 --> 00:09:34,453 Speaker 2: when you're actually sitting down at a coffee shop. Why 195 00:09:34,453 --> 00:09:36,533 Speaker 2: wouldn't you drink out of the porcelain cup or the 196 00:09:36,613 --> 00:09:39,653 Speaker 2: china whatever you And there's a whole bunch of reasons, 197 00:09:39,653 --> 00:09:42,133 Speaker 2: but I actually prefer a takeaway cup because it stays 198 00:09:42,173 --> 00:09:45,093 Speaker 2: hotter for longer. They gave it to me, but they 199 00:09:45,093 --> 00:09:45,693 Speaker 2: weren't happy. 200 00:09:45,773 --> 00:09:46,893 Speaker 3: Gave you the side the. 201 00:09:46,893 --> 00:09:50,333 Speaker 2: Side eye, Yeah they did, and I just wanted to. 202 00:09:50,493 --> 00:09:54,333 Speaker 2: So that's my question to you listening to this is 203 00:09:54,373 --> 00:09:57,693 Speaker 2: that inappropriate? And why is are people worried? Are the 204 00:09:57,733 --> 00:10:00,013 Speaker 2: cups bad? I suppose for the climate? Environmental? 205 00:10:00,173 --> 00:10:02,853 Speaker 3: Is that the only reason why you want a takeaway 206 00:10:02,853 --> 00:10:04,333 Speaker 3: cup in the cafe? 207 00:10:04,653 --> 00:10:07,053 Speaker 2: Yeah? Pretty much? Is there another the reason why they'd 208 00:10:07,053 --> 00:10:07,733 Speaker 2: look at me funny? 209 00:10:09,213 --> 00:10:11,933 Speaker 3: Well that's a different question for a different day. 210 00:10:12,573 --> 00:10:15,733 Speaker 2: Oh you see, see James, What shame on you, Simon 211 00:10:16,173 --> 00:10:19,213 Speaker 2: for getting a takeaway cup while you're sitting down? Next text, 212 00:10:19,573 --> 00:10:23,893 Speaker 2: that's terrible, Simon. What is wrong with you? Simon? Do 213 00:10:23,893 --> 00:10:25,373 Speaker 2: you not? Oh my gosh, see. 214 00:10:25,173 --> 00:10:27,173 Speaker 3: That have gone crazy too? 215 00:10:27,693 --> 00:10:29,093 Speaker 2: What is it? 216 00:10:29,173 --> 00:10:29,373 Speaker 7: Is it? 217 00:10:29,413 --> 00:10:29,653 Speaker 8: Am? I? 218 00:10:29,813 --> 00:10:34,533 Speaker 2: Is it? Have I broken an environmental protocol? Well? 219 00:10:34,653 --> 00:10:37,613 Speaker 3: You're creating, you're using or creating more waste. Doren't you 220 00:10:38,613 --> 00:10:41,053 Speaker 3: we recyclable sort of thing? 221 00:10:41,853 --> 00:10:42,053 Speaker 7: Not that? 222 00:10:42,293 --> 00:10:44,973 Speaker 2: Not that the lids? Aren't I five bucks for it? 223 00:10:46,533 --> 00:10:49,653 Speaker 2: Shouldn't I have a shouldn't I have? Haven't I paid 224 00:10:49,653 --> 00:10:52,013 Speaker 2: the money? Not to be given the side? I? Then 225 00:10:52,013 --> 00:10:54,333 Speaker 2: we've got a text here from Eddie who sees hi 226 00:10:54,453 --> 00:10:57,413 Speaker 2: signed James. First step to ruining a good cup of 227 00:10:57,413 --> 00:11:00,533 Speaker 2: coffee is to put it in cardboard. Next step is 228 00:11:00,533 --> 00:11:02,733 Speaker 2: to drink it through a hole in a piece of plastic. 229 00:11:03,333 --> 00:11:07,093 Speaker 2: Takeaway coffee is an insult to all those working folk 230 00:11:07,133 --> 00:11:10,013 Speaker 2: in the growing roasting making chain. 231 00:11:11,333 --> 00:11:12,453 Speaker 3: Nice Eddie, good work. 232 00:11:12,733 --> 00:11:13,973 Speaker 2: Now I've offended Eddie too. 233 00:11:14,933 --> 00:11:21,653 Speaker 1: The Highlight Reel with Sion James. The Highlight Reel with 234 00:11:21,933 --> 00:11:23,013 Speaker 1: Sion James. 235 00:11:23,413 --> 00:11:26,653 Speaker 2: So six and a half decades have gone with Barfoot 236 00:11:26,653 --> 00:11:30,213 Speaker 2: and Thompson occupying a branch in Panmua no longer come 237 00:11:30,253 --> 00:11:33,053 Speaker 2: the end of September. They're saying it's too anti social behavior, 238 00:11:33,333 --> 00:11:35,333 Speaker 2: lots of crime in the era, so they're out. What 239 00:11:35,333 --> 00:11:36,973 Speaker 2: do you think about that? Is that the best way 240 00:11:36,973 --> 00:11:38,893 Speaker 2: to do this? Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty is 241 00:11:38,933 --> 00:11:42,533 Speaker 2: our phone number. Hello, Troy, Germany. How are you doing? Great? 242 00:11:42,613 --> 00:11:43,493 Speaker 2: Thank you for calling up. 243 00:11:44,133 --> 00:11:46,853 Speaker 10: Look on. My family live in the area, we shop 244 00:11:46,853 --> 00:11:51,333 Speaker 10: in the area, we go to Pamua weekly. I'm going 245 00:11:51,413 --> 00:11:54,093 Speaker 10: to take a slightly different step. I sort of believe 246 00:11:54,133 --> 00:11:58,213 Speaker 10: this might be a convenient excuse for closing. And where 247 00:11:58,253 --> 00:12:01,053 Speaker 10: I go with that is, you know, we had banks 248 00:12:01,093 --> 00:12:03,173 Speaker 10: that sat in the areas for sixty five or one 249 00:12:03,213 --> 00:12:06,373 Speaker 10: hundred years, and just about every area and New Zelle 250 00:12:06,693 --> 00:12:09,413 Speaker 10: closing up. I look at the change in the way 251 00:12:09,573 --> 00:12:13,053 Speaker 10: people actually purchase and sell houses, so much of it 252 00:12:13,133 --> 00:12:17,973 Speaker 10: is online. Do people actually walk into real estate offices 253 00:12:18,053 --> 00:12:19,773 Speaker 10: anymore to look at properties. 254 00:12:20,053 --> 00:12:20,533 Speaker 3: That's good. 255 00:12:20,573 --> 00:12:24,013 Speaker 10: So the word from Barfton Thompson is that they will 256 00:12:24,053 --> 00:12:28,093 Speaker 10: still be operating in the area from their agents. Their agents, 257 00:12:28,293 --> 00:12:31,573 Speaker 10: I would say, conveniently, just use that as an office space. 258 00:12:31,733 --> 00:12:34,893 Speaker 10: More and more agents are working from home. I also 259 00:12:35,213 --> 00:12:38,053 Speaker 10: say that, you know, we shop at many great shops there, 260 00:12:38,053 --> 00:12:40,693 Speaker 10: including the best Turkish bread in New Zealand, as well 261 00:12:40,733 --> 00:12:44,053 Speaker 10: as as a brilliant Spiceland where we buy all our 262 00:12:44,093 --> 00:12:47,813 Speaker 10: shrid Lankan foods, et cetera. I think there's just a 263 00:12:47,973 --> 00:12:50,853 Speaker 10: change that's happening in the real estate industry full stop. 264 00:12:51,133 --> 00:12:54,053 Speaker 10: And I would say you'll see more and more sites 265 00:12:54,093 --> 00:12:57,613 Speaker 10: closed because it's an overhead that the real estate agencies 266 00:12:57,653 --> 00:12:58,173 Speaker 10: don't need. 267 00:12:58,693 --> 00:13:00,133 Speaker 3: Well good point no. 268 00:13:00,373 --> 00:13:02,773 Speaker 2: And I have to say, Troy, I wondered that when 269 00:13:02,773 --> 00:13:04,293 Speaker 2: I read the story this morning, I thought, is this 270 00:13:04,413 --> 00:13:07,853 Speaker 2: just an excuse? Convenient excuse? But then haven't they and 271 00:13:07,893 --> 00:13:09,733 Speaker 2: you live in the area, mate, haven't they done you 272 00:13:09,813 --> 00:13:12,813 Speaker 2: a massive disservice? Then why would they not because they've 273 00:13:12,893 --> 00:13:13,933 Speaker 2: maligned area now? 274 00:13:14,133 --> 00:13:14,453 Speaker 3: Yeah. 275 00:13:14,533 --> 00:13:15,133 Speaker 2: Yeah. 276 00:13:15,253 --> 00:13:19,333 Speaker 3: One thing though, Troy, is that this isn't opinion that 277 00:13:19,413 --> 00:13:22,773 Speaker 3: was in the article it's actually a quote from the 278 00:13:22,813 --> 00:13:26,013 Speaker 3: general manager of Barfoot and Thompson. He's the one who 279 00:13:26,053 --> 00:13:30,573 Speaker 3: said we've noted an increasing trend and antisocial and criminal 280 00:13:30,613 --> 00:13:33,173 Speaker 3: behavior in the local area. He said it. It's not 281 00:13:33,253 --> 00:13:35,733 Speaker 3: someone else saying that that's what's happening. 282 00:13:35,893 --> 00:13:39,293 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, that's that's as a comment that's been attributed. 283 00:13:39,333 --> 00:13:44,213 Speaker 10: I fully respect that, but I also would really question 284 00:13:44,973 --> 00:13:48,453 Speaker 10: how that would affect a real estate company that has 285 00:13:48,533 --> 00:13:52,253 Speaker 10: opened during the day, not after ours, who has the 286 00:13:52,293 --> 00:13:55,213 Speaker 10: ability to shut the door or have anything like any 287 00:13:55,253 --> 00:13:57,853 Speaker 10: other business. I mean, we talk about I don't think 288 00:13:57,853 --> 00:14:00,333 Speaker 10: there's going to be many real estate agencies that are 289 00:14:00,373 --> 00:14:04,413 Speaker 10: ram rated requirement for people to grab all the paperwork 290 00:14:04,453 --> 00:14:06,613 Speaker 10: from them. You know. I think we look at that 291 00:14:06,813 --> 00:14:10,453 Speaker 10: sort of anti social behavior that's happening right throughout New Zealand, 292 00:14:10,853 --> 00:14:14,253 Speaker 10: not specifically in Pamua. There's so many positive things that 293 00:14:14,293 --> 00:14:18,613 Speaker 10: are happening in Pamula, and you know, I'm I'm quite shocked, 294 00:14:18,613 --> 00:14:21,653 Speaker 10: to be honest that they sort of responses that come out. Yes, 295 00:14:21,693 --> 00:14:24,933 Speaker 10: there are anti social behavior in different areas right throughout 296 00:14:24,973 --> 00:14:28,013 Speaker 10: the country, but the reality is it is most people 297 00:14:28,013 --> 00:14:30,213 Speaker 10: that live in Panua and Mount Wellington and the greater 298 00:14:30,293 --> 00:14:34,573 Speaker 10: area are pretty good people and they've got great family scenarios. 299 00:14:35,253 --> 00:14:37,693 Speaker 10: Average age I think to the community is about thirty eight. 300 00:14:38,133 --> 00:14:40,213 Speaker 10: We've got a change in the demographic with a lot 301 00:14:40,213 --> 00:14:42,493 Speaker 10: of people coming in as new New Zealanders as well, 302 00:14:42,773 --> 00:14:44,653 Speaker 10: so there are some really positive things happening. 303 00:14:44,773 --> 00:14:45,933 Speaker 2: Yeah, good on you, Suroy. 304 00:14:45,973 --> 00:14:50,093 Speaker 3: You should stand for the city council for Panmua. You're 305 00:14:50,133 --> 00:14:53,333 Speaker 3: a great advocate. Good on you, nice gentlemen. 306 00:14:53,533 --> 00:14:57,013 Speaker 2: Textaar says Hi boys, I've lived in Panmuer since twenty twelve. 307 00:14:57,413 --> 00:15:00,573 Speaker 2: I've not noticed a change at all. It's always been 308 00:15:00,613 --> 00:15:03,253 Speaker 2: a little bit dingy if anything. Though personally I think 309 00:15:03,253 --> 00:15:06,053 Speaker 2: it's improved with the new restaurants, the new road layouts. 310 00:15:06,493 --> 00:15:09,173 Speaker 2: I don't actually believe the Barfoot in Thompson reason at all, 311 00:15:09,333 --> 00:15:12,493 Speaker 2: says the Texter. But you see this very next text 312 00:15:12,493 --> 00:15:14,333 Speaker 2: says Simon and James. Have either of you been to 313 00:15:14,373 --> 00:15:17,173 Speaker 2: Panmua in recent times? It has a very heavy gang 314 00:15:17,173 --> 00:15:20,893 Speaker 2: presence now, very aggressive youth and homeless. Let's not talk 315 00:15:20,893 --> 00:15:24,853 Speaker 2: about the brothels and the barbershops. I absolutely agree with 316 00:15:24,933 --> 00:15:26,573 Speaker 2: Barfoot and Thompson pulling out good on. 317 00:15:26,533 --> 00:15:27,893 Speaker 1: Them the highlight reel. 318 00:15:28,213 --> 00:15:30,133 Speaker 2: James has been house hunting. 319 00:15:30,693 --> 00:15:33,693 Speaker 3: Yeah, for my in laws. They're in their mid nineties 320 00:15:33,733 --> 00:15:37,013 Speaker 3: and they've made the decision that they want to make 321 00:15:37,093 --> 00:15:38,213 Speaker 3: take it a bit easier. 322 00:15:38,453 --> 00:15:41,613 Speaker 2: One thing that really did, I suppose make me sit 323 00:15:41,693 --> 00:15:44,253 Speaker 2: up and pay attention, was when James mentioned the cost 324 00:15:44,293 --> 00:15:46,893 Speaker 2: of some of these retirement villas. I was telling my 325 00:15:46,973 --> 00:15:49,973 Speaker 2: daughter and she said she had seen on tech talk 326 00:15:50,533 --> 00:15:54,893 Speaker 2: of all places, Of all places, I suppose it's grandchildren 327 00:15:55,653 --> 00:15:59,933 Speaker 2: or maybe children filming their appearance on cruise ships that 328 00:15:59,973 --> 00:16:03,733 Speaker 2: were obviously young, fit and healthy enough. And that's the 329 00:16:03,773 --> 00:16:07,733 Speaker 2: caveat here. But they were healthy enough to spend years 330 00:16:08,053 --> 00:16:11,933 Speaker 2: on a cruise ship because it was chee cheaper, because 331 00:16:12,453 --> 00:16:15,013 Speaker 2: they got their meals provided, they get a movie theater, 332 00:16:15,093 --> 00:16:18,093 Speaker 2: they get shows big, you know, good shows. 333 00:16:17,853 --> 00:16:18,733 Speaker 3: They get good views. 334 00:16:18,773 --> 00:16:22,373 Speaker 2: They're on the azure. Yeah, I mean, which I said, 335 00:16:23,133 --> 00:16:24,653 Speaker 2: that actually makes a hell of a lot of sense, 336 00:16:24,733 --> 00:16:26,973 Speaker 2: Like if it were me, I'd probably want to do that. 337 00:16:27,733 --> 00:16:30,093 Speaker 2: Is it something you would consider? Have you done it? 338 00:16:30,453 --> 00:16:35,213 Speaker 2: There must be a downside, there must be paying. So 339 00:16:35,333 --> 00:16:40,613 Speaker 2: then I find this story jamesvill are the residences.

Chris, thank you very much for your story. 374 00:18:12,293 --> 00:18:15,413 Speaker 2: There are some naysayers, but these people don't like cruising 375 00:18:15,413 --> 00:18:18,933 Speaker 2: by the sounds of it at all. Sounds really boring, 376 00:18:19,053 --> 00:18:21,133 Speaker 2: visiting the same ports all the time. You'd need good 377 00:18:21,133 --> 00:18:23,413 Speaker 2: insurance in case you need a treatment in other countries, 378 00:18:23,413 --> 00:18:27,053 Speaker 2: says Craig. This one says onboard entertainment is not what 379 00:18:27,133 --> 00:18:29,773 Speaker 2: it's cracked up to be. An eighty seven year old 380 00:18:29,853 --> 00:18:32,613 Speaker 2: Rod Stewart singing do you think I'm sexy?

You 384 00:18:39,653 --> 00:18:41,973 Speaker 3: need a permanent address, can a Kathy. 385 00:18:42,213 --> 00:18:44,653 Speaker 13: I have just come back from the UK last week 386 00:18:44,973 --> 00:18:47,893 Speaker 13: and I've had twenty three cruises. I think the most 387 00:18:47,933 --> 00:18:50,813 Speaker 13: I've had SEUs six weeks. I was on the d 388 00:18:50,973 --> 00:18:53,893 Speaker 13: Day cruise there in June. A lot of people on 389 00:18:53,973 --> 00:18:57,653 Speaker 13: that ship had walkers, they had ride on. They were 390 00:18:57,693 --> 00:19:02,413 Speaker 13: well looked after. There's great hospitals, good nurses, wonderful staff, 391 00:19:03,213 --> 00:19:05,773 Speaker 13: and you see a different view every day. We pulled 392 00:19:05,813 --> 00:19:08,333 Speaker 13: up the side another ship in Iceland, who was one 393 00:19:08,373 --> 00:19:10,493 Speaker 13: of these ships that does go around the world all 394 00:19:10,533 --> 00:19:13,133 Speaker 13: the time, and people are permanently on them, and so 395 00:19:13,213 --> 00:19:14,853 Speaker 13: they let us have a wee look. It's just like 396 00:19:14,933 --> 00:19:18,253 Speaker 13: being in a house, your own flat, and they say 397 00:19:18,293 --> 00:19:19,813 Speaker 13: it's wonderful. And I said, well, how do you get 398 00:19:19,853 --> 00:19:22,573 Speaker 13: on for pensions because most of them are English and 399 00:19:22,573 --> 00:19:24,333 Speaker 13: they said, O, I know, we still play their pension 400 00:19:24,413 --> 00:19:27,133 Speaker 13: because this is our living department at the moment. So 401 00:19:27,373 --> 00:19:29,453 Speaker 13: I don't know how your keiweeds would get on. But 402 00:19:29,573 --> 00:19:32,133 Speaker 13: over there you can still get your pension. Well, I 403 00:19:32,413 --> 00:19:34,293 Speaker 13: because I've got an English pension as well. 404 00:19:34,533 --> 00:19:37,213 Speaker 2: Hey, thank you for your insights in the cruising world. 405 00:19:37,373 --> 00:19:40,333 Speaker 1: The best moment from the week this is the Highlight 406 00:19:40,413 --> 00:19:44,973 Speaker 1: reel with Simon Barnett and James Daniels powered by Newstalks. 407 00:19:45,133 --> 00:19:48,653 Speaker 2: A really interesting story in the conversation publication, and the 408 00:19:48,693 --> 00:19:52,773 Speaker 2: writer is Steve McFarlane, and he asks a very good question, 409 00:19:53,493 --> 00:19:59,053 Speaker 2: is it okay to lie to a person battling with dementia? 410 00:19:59,093 --> 00:20:00,813 Speaker 2: And he goes on in his opinion piece to say 411 00:20:00,813 --> 00:20:03,013 Speaker 2: ethical care can be very challenging when a person is 412 00:20:03,013 --> 00:20:05,733 Speaker 2: in the late stages of dementia. And of course the 413 00:20:05,773 --> 00:20:09,733 Speaker 2: thing is, we know what best practices, but does it 414 00:20:09,813 --> 00:20:12,213 Speaker 2: always apply best practice as to not to lie? Because 415 00:20:12,213 --> 00:20:16,053 Speaker 2: that is best practice? He cites the ethical approach. The 416 00:20:16,053 --> 00:20:20,173 Speaker 2: ethical approach classically holds that specific actions are moral certainties, 417 00:20:20,213 --> 00:20:24,293 Speaker 2: regardless of the consequences, and in line with that moral absolutism, 418 00:20:24,613 --> 00:20:27,133 Speaker 2: it's always wrong to lie. Right, most of us know that, 419 00:20:27,573 --> 00:20:31,053 Speaker 2: and these SIT's an example where an elderly patient was 420 00:20:31,133 --> 00:20:35,693 Speaker 2: looking for their long deceased spouse and whether the care 421 00:20:35,733 --> 00:20:37,933 Speaker 2: workers should have just been up front and said he's 422 00:20:37,973 --> 00:20:43,093 Speaker 2: passed away, or another approach, maybe along the lines of look, 423 00:20:43,253 --> 00:20:45,893 Speaker 2: I know you're obviously wanting to see him, he will 424 00:20:45,893 --> 00:20:48,013 Speaker 2: be along shortly, or something like that, fudging it really 425 00:20:48,093 --> 00:20:49,373 Speaker 2: rather than just yeah exactly. 426 00:20:49,693 --> 00:20:53,253 Speaker 3: You see. That first approach is called the ethical approach, 427 00:20:53,693 --> 00:20:55,053 Speaker 3: So I guess what the second one is? 428 00:20:55,173 --> 00:20:57,293 Speaker 2: Yeah, hello there, Michael gill. 429 00:20:57,333 --> 00:20:59,333 Speaker 14: I had both my parents and the security to me 430 00:20:59,333 --> 00:21:01,893 Speaker 14: each ward. They ran a retirement unit. They couldn't look 431 00:21:01,893 --> 00:21:05,653 Speaker 14: over themselves. Mum had already had to means for years dead. 432 00:21:05,653 --> 00:21:07,173 Speaker 14: Had a stroke in the came right. So it was 433 00:21:07,173 --> 00:21:09,173 Speaker 14: the safest place for them, you know, where they couldn't 434 00:21:09,173 --> 00:21:13,533 Speaker 14: get hurt and were fine. But just you thed little 435 00:21:13,533 --> 00:21:16,053 Speaker 14: white lives. You tell them you know they need a haircut, 436 00:21:16,133 --> 00:21:17,653 Speaker 14: but they say they don't need a haircut. 437 00:21:17,733 --> 00:21:18,693 Speaker 8: You say, so, you say to. 438 00:21:18,693 --> 00:21:20,813 Speaker 14: Them, don't you remember you told me to get your haircut, 439 00:21:20,813 --> 00:21:22,053 Speaker 14: and you get me a haircut. You go up for 440 00:21:22,093 --> 00:21:23,893 Speaker 14: dinner and they don't know what to order because you're 441 00:21:23,893 --> 00:21:26,693 Speaker 14: so confused. We're looking at the menu. So you say, well, 442 00:21:26,693 --> 00:21:27,973 Speaker 14: we're here last time, and you had that. 443 00:21:28,093 --> 00:21:31,453 Speaker 2: You really enjoyed it, right, very good. 444 00:21:32,013 --> 00:21:34,773 Speaker 14: I lost my dad about two weeks ago, and he 445 00:21:34,893 --> 00:21:37,653 Speaker 14: was eighty five. He had fallen over broken his hip 446 00:21:37,773 --> 00:21:39,693 Speaker 14: and his femur and he was in a hospital for 447 00:21:39,733 --> 00:21:41,893 Speaker 14: two and a half weeks and just couldn't get out 448 00:21:41,893 --> 00:21:44,653 Speaker 14: of beat after that, and his heart failed. He had 449 00:21:44,693 --> 00:21:46,893 Speaker 14: his heart failing and his kidney's failing. So we attacking 450 00:21:46,933 --> 00:21:50,693 Speaker 14: them over the air two or three times and every 451 00:21:50,733 --> 00:21:52,533 Speaker 14: time we take gravers she would say, where are we going? 452 00:21:52,573 --> 00:21:53,893 Speaker 14: And I'd say, We're going to see my dad, or 453 00:21:53,893 --> 00:21:55,213 Speaker 14: we're going to see dad. I just said we're going 454 00:21:55,213 --> 00:21:56,733 Speaker 14: to see dad. She and she would say my dad, 455 00:21:57,053 --> 00:21:58,813 Speaker 14: and I'd go, no, your husband, my dad, and she 456 00:21:58,853 --> 00:22:01,853 Speaker 14: would look, should go my husband? She was confused, and 457 00:22:01,893 --> 00:22:03,613 Speaker 14: you'd get over there and she'd as say about three 458 00:22:03,693 --> 00:22:06,413 Speaker 14: or four times and you get to the hospital and 459 00:22:06,413 --> 00:22:08,133 Speaker 14: and she goes, didn't tell us, we're coming to see dad, 460 00:22:08,613 --> 00:22:10,013 Speaker 14: and he should look at him and go how old 461 00:22:10,053 --> 00:22:12,413 Speaker 14: is he? And I say eighty five? And she just 462 00:22:12,453 --> 00:22:15,333 Speaker 14: had this blank, confused look on her face because in 463 00:22:15,413 --> 00:22:18,133 Speaker 14: her mind she thought, I know she was twenty or 464 00:22:18,173 --> 00:22:22,253 Speaker 14: thirty or forty. So he had been in there two 465 00:22:22,253 --> 00:22:24,013 Speaker 14: weeks and we're going to take mom over. But we 466 00:22:24,093 --> 00:22:26,133 Speaker 14: checked with the minch warden and said, right, is she 467 00:22:26,293 --> 00:22:29,453 Speaker 14: asking about dad? And they said no, she stopped asking. 468 00:22:29,533 --> 00:22:32,133 Speaker 14: They're in the same room. She had stopped asking about them, 469 00:22:32,133 --> 00:22:34,093 Speaker 14: but she was saying last night she was twenty two 470 00:22:34,173 --> 00:22:39,253 Speaker 14: years old and looking for her father. So when he passed, 471 00:22:39,293 --> 00:22:41,173 Speaker 14: we spoke to the mintss Aukland said what do we do? 472 00:22:41,213 --> 00:22:44,013 Speaker 14: Because I was quitey not to tell her, and they said, 473 00:22:44,013 --> 00:22:47,293 Speaker 14: tell her once and see how it goes, and then 474 00:22:47,293 --> 00:22:49,293 Speaker 14: he's have to tell her again. So we went in 475 00:22:49,533 --> 00:22:51,493 Speaker 14: and we sat it down, me and my sister, and 476 00:22:51,493 --> 00:22:53,933 Speaker 14: we said, we've got some news for you.

I mean I don't get that, but anyway, that's 515 00:24:33,733 --> 00:24:35,853 Speaker 2: that's what they did. Five hundred families open their homes 516 00:24:35,893 --> 00:24:38,293 Speaker 2: and let them go through and what they found is 517 00:24:38,333 --> 00:24:42,213 Speaker 2: some very interesting stuff. For example, they said, what is 518 00:24:42,293 --> 00:24:45,893 Speaker 2: really unique about New Zealand is we carpet our garages. 519 00:24:46,133 --> 00:24:49,413 Speaker 2: Ninety three percent of people put carpet down in their garage. 520 00:24:49,453 --> 00:24:51,453 Speaker 2: Have you got carpet on your No? 521 00:24:51,453 --> 00:24:52,413 Speaker 3: No, have you? 522 00:24:52,773 --> 00:24:54,773 Speaker 2: Yeah?

And it's when I don't have the 527 00:25:03,213 --> 00:25:05,253 Speaker 2: car there, I vacuum the garage all the time. I 528 00:25:05,293 --> 00:25:06,333 Speaker 2: know that's a first world thing. 529 00:25:06,453 --> 00:25:08,733 Speaker 3: But why do you carp at your garage? 530 00:25:08,893 --> 00:25:09,053 Speaker 7: Well? 531 00:25:09,133 --> 00:25:11,533 Speaker 2: I did that because I felt like we could then 532 00:25:11,653 --> 00:25:13,973 Speaker 2: with the kids, you know, grandkids and whatnot. It's just 533 00:25:14,053 --> 00:25:15,813 Speaker 2: like another room. You can put the kids out there 534 00:25:15,813 --> 00:25:17,173 Speaker 2: if I thought if I wanted to put a pool 535 00:25:17,213 --> 00:25:19,733 Speaker 2: table there or a table tennis table, I could do. 536 00:25:19,773 --> 00:25:25,253 Speaker 2: That just gives you another room, whereas a cold, barren, dusty, 537 00:25:25,493 --> 00:25:28,093 Speaker 2: dirty concrete floors particularly unappealing. 538 00:25:28,173 --> 00:25:30,893 Speaker 3: Do you mean a place to park your car? Is 539 00:25:30,893 --> 00:25:31,933 Speaker 3: that what you're talking about? 540 00:25:32,253 --> 00:25:35,053 Speaker 2: Well, good on you, because that's what I Care said. 541 00:25:35,053 --> 00:25:37,333 Speaker 2: They see that around the world people don't carp at 542 00:25:37,333 --> 00:25:40,893 Speaker 2: their garages. The other thing, and this is not a 543 00:25:41,093 --> 00:25:44,253 Speaker 2: revelation to me, but I care people were struck by 544 00:25:44,253 --> 00:25:46,693 Speaker 2: the fact that some ninety three percent of people in 545 00:25:46,693 --> 00:25:50,733 Speaker 2: this country don't use their garage to park their car. 546 00:25:51,693 --> 00:25:53,933 Speaker 2: I have to say, though, well, I do notice, like 547 00:25:54,093 --> 00:25:56,293 Speaker 2: when I drive around, if there's a garage door up, 548 00:25:56,373 --> 00:25:58,653 Speaker 2: you look in and it's got a home gym, it's 549 00:25:58,653 --> 00:26:00,173 Speaker 2: got bikes hanging from. 550 00:26:00,093 --> 00:26:02,773 Speaker 3: The roof or hanging from the wall, maybe a kayak. 551 00:26:02,933 --> 00:26:07,933 Speaker 2: Kayak always in our subdivision, washing machine and dryer in 552 00:26:08,013 --> 00:26:08,533 Speaker 2: the garage. 553 00:26:08,653 --> 00:26:10,133 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's pretty standard. 554 00:26:10,693 --> 00:26:12,493 Speaker 2: Yeah, what seems to be, but it's not.

And I'm just reading the 628 00:29:18,693 --> 00:29:23,213 Speaker 2: story about two police officers, Constables pot of Tenney and Oliver, 629 00:29:24,173 --> 00:29:26,693 Speaker 2: were delivering a court order to somebody in an apartment 630 00:29:26,693 --> 00:29:29,533 Speaker 2: block and then the security guard from that apartment block 631 00:29:29,573 --> 00:29:32,613 Speaker 2: SA had quit come quickly and a woman was in 632 00:29:32,693 --> 00:29:34,933 Speaker 2: the midst of labor. There was no ambulances to just 633 00:29:34,973 --> 00:29:37,773 Speaker 2: having a baby, so they took the woman sort of 634 00:29:37,853 --> 00:29:39,933 Speaker 2: basically mid labor, put her in the back of the 635 00:29:39,933 --> 00:29:44,133 Speaker 2: patrol car. The baby didn't wait. The baby came out 636 00:29:44,173 --> 00:29:45,813 Speaker 2: in the back of the car and the police car. 637 00:29:46,173 --> 00:29:47,973 Speaker 2: But mum and baby are doing really well. And it 638 00:29:48,013 --> 00:29:49,933 Speaker 2: was just a really sweet story because these two police 639 00:29:49,933 --> 00:29:52,733 Speaker 2: officers were so moved by what that it wasn't part 640 00:29:52,773 --> 00:29:54,773 Speaker 2: of their job. They didn't have to do it busy people. 641 00:29:55,173 --> 00:29:58,013 Speaker 2: But after hours they went back to the hospital and 642 00:29:58,093 --> 00:30:00,213 Speaker 2: took the mum and the baby a couple of gifts. 643 00:30:00,613 --> 00:30:02,133 Speaker 2: One of the officers said it was one of the 644 00:30:02,173 --> 00:30:04,333 Speaker 2: best jobs I've ever done. I had an adrenaline rush 645 00:30:04,413 --> 00:30:08,533 Speaker 2: for days. Bet the baby and they took some baby booties. 646 00:30:08,693 --> 00:30:11,573 Speaker 2: We police baby booties. Oh gorgeous. And the baby's called 647 00:30:11,613 --> 00:30:15,893 Speaker 2: cahu Angy. Was a gorgeous name. Cahou Dangy apparently actually 648 00:30:15,933 --> 00:30:18,693 Speaker 2: has some significance. It's another shade of blue, the cloak 649 00:30:18,773 --> 00:30:22,093 Speaker 2: of the sky father. So that's a beautiful name. Called 650 00:30:22,093 --> 00:30:25,693 Speaker 2: the baby cahoud ANGI. The mum, Nora, she joked that 651 00:30:25,733 --> 00:30:27,973 Speaker 2: they were going to call the new baby Andrew Costa 652 00:30:28,093 --> 00:30:32,213 Speaker 2: the police commissioner, because they wanted the child to grow 653 00:30:32,213 --> 00:30:34,653 Speaker 2: into a police officer.
